Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 17, 2015,  Fantex, Inc., a Delaware corporation  (the Company”), entered into a Brand Agreement (the “brand contract”) with Terrance Williams, pursuant to which the Company will acquire a minority interest equal to 10% of the income that Terrance Williams receives from and after February 1, 2015, subject to the terms and exceptions specified in such brand contract, contingent upon the Company obtaining financing to pay the $3.06 million purchase price to Terrance Williams. 

The brand contract is intended to remain in effect indefinitely and, except as set forth below, may be terminated only upon mutual agreement of the Company and Terrance Williams. Either party may terminate the brand contract on or after January 30, 2016 if the Company does not obtain the financing necessary to pay the $3.06 million purchase price to Terrance Williams. If Terrance Williams resigns from his employment as a professional football player within two years of the date of any such financing for any reason other than a “good reason,” the Company may elect in its sole discretion to terminate the brand contract and Terrance Williams will be required to pay to the Company approximately $3.29 million (net of any amounts previously paid to the Company by him pursuant to the brand contract).

“Good reason” means Terrance Williams’ resignation from his employment as a professional football player for any of the following reasons:

(a)he suffers or sustains a major injury which renders him incapable of performing as a professional football player; or

(b)he suffers or sustains a major injury after the consummation of the offering of a Company tracking stock linked to the value of the brand contract and a qualified medical doctor (depending on the nature of the major injury) advises Terrance Williams that as a result thereof he is putting his physical health at substantial risk (i.e., a risk that is substantially greater than simply by virtue of his participation as a professional football player) by continuing to perform as a professional football player.

In addition, the brand contract contains terms, conditions, events of defaults and covenants customary for each of the Company’s brand contracts, including an obligation of the Company to indemnify Terrance Williams (and his heirs and assigns) against any third-party lawsuit arising from Terrance Williams being a party to the brand contract, including claims relating to (a) any breach of the Company's representations and warranties in the brand contract, (b) any violation of law by the Company and (c) certain matters in connection with the financing methods the Company may use to obtain financing relating to the brand contract, other than, in each case, those arising out of or relating to any breach of the brand contract by Terrance Williams.
