What is a Surrender Agreement?

A surrender agreement, sometimes called a surrender and acceptance agreement, or a deed of surrender, is a legal document that temporarily transfers the ownership of property until certain conditions are met. Surrender agreements are most commonly used in real estate to terminate property lease agreements.

When a surrender agreement is used to terminate a property lease, both the landlord and the tenant must agree to execute the surrender agreement and end the tenancy. Surrender agreements can only be used when both parties have upheld their end of the lease contract. If there are any breach of contract issues, executing a surrender agreement would prevent either party from collecting damages resulting in the breach.

WHEREAS, it is a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the GHL Purchase Agreement that immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and the transactions contemplated by the Great Harbor Purchase Agreement that the Transferor contributes, transfers, assigns, conveys and delivers to the Company, and the Company accepts and acquires from Transferor, 60,470,957 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, in order to induce GHL to purchase the shares provided for by the GHL Purchase Agreement, the Transferor desires to surrender 60,470,957 shares of Common Stock held by him pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2.           Acknowledgements, Representations, Warranties and Agreement of Transferor. In connection with the execution of this Agreement and in order to induce GHL and Great Harbor to consummate the transactions described above, Transferor hereby represents, warrants and agrees that Transferor has good and marketable title to the Surrendered Shares, free and clear of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, charge, security, security interest or other claim against title, other than general restrictions under federal and state securities laws.

 

3.           Covenant of Transferor. From and after the date of this Agreement, Transferor shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional action as the Company may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the contribution to the Company of the Surrendered Shares. Transferor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from any losses or damage, fees, costs or expenses that may be incurred by the Company due to a breach of this Agreement by Transferor.

 

4.           Miscellaneous.

 

(a)          Amendment. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally or by course of dealing, but only by a statement in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
