Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Item 1.02
Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On March 9, 2016 (the "
Closing Date
"), Towerstream Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "
Company
") completed a sale and transfer of certain assets pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "
APA
") by and among the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Towerstream I, Inc. ("
TII
"), and Time Warner Cable Enterprises, LLC ("
Time Warner
", and collectively with TII and the Company, the "Parties").
The APA provided for the assumption by Time Warner of certain rooftop leases and related agreements located in New York (the "
Leases
"), the right to operate the WiFi access point equipment and associated controller software and backend infrastructure associated with such Leases (the "
Equipment
"), all right, title and interest in the Equipment and all manufacturers' warranties on the Equipment and other assets as more fully described in the Asset Purchase Agreement (collectively, the "
Assets
"). The Parties also entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "
Assignment Agreement
") and a Bill of Sale (the "
Bill of Sale
"). Certain Leases may be retained subject to any required consents being obtained following the Closing Date (the "
Required Consents
").
Time Warner entered into a Backhaul Services Agreement (the "
Backhaul Agreement
") with the Company and TII, pursuant to which TII and the Company will provide Internet bandwidth to Time Warmer at the locations governed by the Leases. TII will retain ownership of all equipment associated with the provision of these services (the "
Towerstream Equipment
"), and such Towerstream Equipment is expressly excluded from the Equipment assigned under the APA. The Backhaul Agreement has an initial term of three years and is subject to renewal for two successive one-year periods. Time Warner may terminate the Backhaul Agreement, with respect to any or all Lease locations, upon 60 days' written notice to the Company or on such other conditions as are more fully described in the Backhaul Agreement. In addition, Time Warner will reimburse the Company and TII for currently outstanding amounts paid by the Company or TII as security deposits under the Leases.
