("HT A")l 'vhose principal business address is 201 Front Street, Suite 224, Key West, FlOf.i ja 303040 and whose FEIN is 59-2512154, and THE SCHOONER WESTERN UNrON PRESERVATION SOCIETY, INC. ("Foundation"), whose principal businle,s address is P.O. Box 4379, Key West, Florida 33041 and whose i FEIN is 20-59$:;968. I. RECITALS A. HI A is a Florida, for-profit corporation which, through various affiliates and sllilbsidiaries, operates sightseeing tours, themed retail establishments, ! and attraction~ !throughout the United States. B. HTA owns a 130-foot historic "tall ship schooner" Schooner Western ! Union ("the V,,: ;sel"), free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. A copy of the Vessel's most r~cently issued Certificate of Documentation and Certificate of Inspection are, ttached hereto as Composite Exhibit "A". C. Th{ Vessel has great historical significance to Key West and the State of Florida. The Vessel was constructed in Key West in approximately 1939 and was a working s ;hooner laying communication cable throughout the Caribbean. It was one of the last tall ships built in the State of Florida. D. FrlJm approximately 1997 through 2006, HTA, through its wholly- owned operati~; subsidiary, Schooner Western Union, Inc. ("SWU"), operated the Vessel as a tOuj,::st attraction. SWU sailed the Vessel approximately twice daily. During the sail'illg experience, guests/passengers hoisted sails and partook in a vintage histori~hl tall ship sailing cruise. E. On or about August 5, 1997, by virtue of Resolution No. 97-301, the City of Key We,t designated the Vessel as the Official Flagship of the City of Key I West. A copYicfthat Resolution is attached hereto as Exhibit "B". I F. Fj}llndation is a Florida-chartered not-for-profit corporation, whose , i mission is to ad vance and protect historical aspects of the Florida Keys. Foundation has applied to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for 501(c)(3) status and is awaiting an IRS determination on that application. G. Fcundation specifically acknowledges that the Vessel -is of historical significance tQ .he State of Florida, the Florida Keys, and Key West in particular. 2 H. Gi len its historic vintage, maintenance costs for the Vessel are significant. Be.:ause they are "for-profit" entities, neither HT A nor SWU are able to secure and a1:tain grant and public funding for maintenance of the Vessel. I. Gj"en the Vessel's historical significance to the State of Florida, the Florida Keys, and Key West in particular, and given the Foundation's mission to restore, maintain and operate the Vessel in imparting the Vessel's history and education to al:1 who view and sail her, HTA desires to give the Vessel to the Foundation asa gift under the conditions outlined in this Agreement. II. CONVEYANCE AGREEMENT A. H~r A agrees to donate to the Foundation, as a gift, and the Foundation agrees to acceIiJlt from HT A, as a gift, the Vessel, free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances, except as may be expressly outlined herein. The Foundation agrees to cooperate with HT A in any manner reasonably requested by HT A to maximize anye;onomic and/or tax benefit to be realized by HT A as a result of HTA's gift oftte Vessel to the Foundation as contemplated herein. B. Th~ Foundation expressly acknowledges that HTA makes no representation!> Jr warranties whatsoever regarding the condition of the Vessel. In fact, upon infdrnation and belief, HTA believes that the Vessel needs significant 3 repair work in order to be seaworthy (see Composite Exhibit "A"). Hence, the Foundation agt~es to take the Vessel "AS IS - WHERE IS." C. TIll: Vessel is currently moored at the Historic Seaport pursuant to a quasi-Sub-Leasl: Agreement between SWU and the owners of the Schooner Wharf Bar. Upon infoJmation and belief, the owners of the Schooner Wharf Bar lease the mooring area from the City of Key West, and, then sub-lease the mooring area to SWU.
