Hi, Jeff,
Following a call with Terje yesterday I enclose copies the option agreement and the lease agreement executed by both
Morits and Terje.
As you will see the parties (unfortunately) executed draft versions. We offered both agreements to be prepared in proper
execution versions, but such offer was turned down. I do not know the whereabouts of the originals, probably with Mortits,
says Terje. And this seems to be confirmed in an recent e-mail to me from Morits.
Please also note that the lease period and the notice period in the option agreement have expired, and that we have not
been asked to review or render advice as to the terms of the agreements or legal status in light of the current situation.
Please also note that Morits in an recent e-mail to me indicated that no communication as per section 2 in the option
agreement "was in his tile", implying that the option was never called (in due time) in writing. On the other hand Morits
stated that he and Terje would sort this out "preferably without lawyers" thereby probably admitting a weak position at
least in light of the MNOK 25 mortgage registered within the notice period, and possibly also as to acceptance by Morits of
the oral agreement Terje claims in terms of his oral call of the option.
Both agreements have provisions allowing Terje to register the agreements as liens in the applicable real property register.
Given the possibility of bankruptcy my advice is to register both agreements now to perfect the liens in due time prior to
bankruptcy, if any, with respect to Morits personally, if not for the better at least to strengthen the position in negotiations
with his creditors.
I have enclosed an excerpt from the real property register disclosing details of registered liens etc. You will see that the
property was purchased by Morits for MNOK 12,6 in June 2O11, but with no mortgage registered until the MNOK 12,5
mortgage to Enskilda Bank in March 2013, reduced to MNOK 4,o in early 2016, probably to avoid problems for the call of
the option within the notice period. This fact may possibly be used to support an oral agreement that the option in fact was
called? However, prior to this, in December 2O15 , DNB registered a "non transferable" MNOK 25 mortgage.
Please confirm safe receipt of this message and the enclosures.
Best
Kim
