RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in the business of developing and operating a 40-bay golf driving range and entertainment facility at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000 (the “Facility”); and
WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell, and Purchaser desires to purchase, 3,750 membership units out of the 10,000 currently issued membership units of the Company (sometimes referred to as the “common membership units”), and
WHEREAS, the parties agree that in addition to the purchase of the membership units, Purchaser shall make an initial capital contribution of $600,000.00 (the “Capital Investment’) which will be entitled to the preferred return terms herein.

ARTICLE 1
AGREEMENT TO SELL AND PURCHASE.
1.1 Sale and Purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing (as hereinafter defined) the Seller hereby agrees to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Seller, 3,750 common membership units for the sum of $375.00 (the “Purchase Price”).

1.2 Additional Terms.
(a) Preferred Return and Repurchase Rights. The Company shall pay an eight percent (8%) per annum preferred return on the Capital Investment commencing on the opening of the Facility, paid monthly by the Company, on the current amount of Capital Investment outstanding (the “Pref Monthly Payment”). If the Company’s net cash flows cannot support that month’s Pref Monthly Payment, then it would accrue to Purchaser to be paid when net cash flows can support such payment. The Company may return the Capital Investment using any funding sources in Company’s sole determination, including but not limited to Company debt, financing of assets, or from Company’s operating cash flow.
(b) Capital Calls. In the event that the Company has additional capital needs, Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in a capital call. For clarity, the Company cannot require Purchaser to fund any additional capital calls. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company has a capital call, and Purchaser does not choose to participate in the capital call, the capital call funds invested by Seller (“Seller’s Capital Funding”) shall be repaid from net cash flow in the following priority: first to Purchaser’s Pref Monthly Payment, then to Seller’s Capital Funding, then in accordance with the common unit ownership interests.
(c) Company Financing. Company shall not obtain financing that requires the Purchaser to execute any documentation related to the financing or to guarantee any financing.
(d) Documentation. Company shall provide Purchaser the same financial information that is provided to Seller, including monthly financial statements and any other financial disclosures required by Seller.
(e) Common Unit Purchase Option. Seller has the irrevocable option to purchase 1,250 common membership units for $125.00 consideration from Purchaser only in the event that Company has paid down Purchaser’s capital account in the amount of the Capital Investment together with all Pref Monthly Payments that have accrued. Seller’s option in this paragraph shall expire if not executed on or before the end of the fifth year from Closing.
ARTICLE 2
CLOSING, DELIVERY AND PAYMENT.
