Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 2, 2015, 101 Hudson Leasing Associates (the “Landlord”) terminated early its lease of commercial space on the 25th floor at 101 Hudson Street, Jersey City, NJ (the “Premises”) to Franklin Credit Management Corporation (“FCRM”) dated July 27, 2005, as amended, following discussions regarding proposed modifications by FCRM to its lease obligations and non-payment of FCRM’s December 2014 installment of rent. The Premises are the executive and administrative offices of FCRM. FCRM has proposed to not voluntarily vacate the Premises and to continue discussions with the Landlord in an effort to secure alternative office space arrangements with the Landlord including, but not limited to, a reduction in the square footage of the Premises, possible relocation to a smaller office space owned by the Landlord, or a restructuring of rent obligations relating to the Premises. There can be no assurance that the Landlord will accommodate FCRM or not judicially evict FCRM from the Premises. If FCRM is evicted from the Premises, without securing alternative office arrangements, FCRM’s business will be adversely affected.
