PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.14
THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into on February 16, 2021, (the “Effective Date”) among PMC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, LLC (“Seller”), and THE REAL GOOD FOOD COMPANY LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Buyer”).
This Agreement is entered into with reference to the following facts:
A. SSRE Holdings, LLC (“Borrower”) and Seller previously entered into (i) that certain Loan and Security Agreement, August 31, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), (ii) the Schedule to Loan and Security Agreement between SSRE Holdings, LLC and PMC dated August 31, 2020 (“Schedule”), and (iii) the other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Loan Agreement). Terms defined in the Loan Agreement shall have the same meaning when used herein unless specifically defined herein.
B. Borrower has defaulted on all of their presently outstanding obligations owing to Seller (the “Obligations”), including, but not limited to, the Obligations arising under or pursuant to the Loan Agreement. Seller has declared the Obligations to be immediately due and owing. Seller has a security interest in substantially all of the assets of Borrower. The assets of Borrower that are subject to the security interests that have been granted to Seller include the assets located at 00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, in the City of Industry, County of Los Angeles, State of California (the “Premises”) and described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference (collectively, the “Sale Assets”). As of the date of this Agreement, Seller has the immediate right to exercise all of its rights and remedies against the Borrower and to enforce its security interest in the Sale Assets, and to sell the Sale Assets to Buyer hereunder.
C. Any sale of the Sale Assets must be concluded immediately, because Borrower does not have the ability to continue in business and the Sale Assets may lose value. Buyer and Seller each believes that the best price and terms reasonably obtainable for a sale of the Sale Assets are those described herein, taking into account the expectation that substantially less would be received for the Sale Asset if there are significant time delays in selling the Sale Assets.
Now, therefore, the parties agree as follows:
1. Sale of Sale Assets.
1.1 Sale and Delivery. At a closing (“Closing”) held at 5:00 pm on February 16, 2021, Seller sold to the Buyer, in a private sale under Section 9610 of the California Commercial Code, and the Buyer purchased from Seller, the Sale Assets. The Sale Assets consist of the following:
A. Equipment listed on Exhibit A (collectively, the “Equipment”);
1
B. Accounts receivable listed on Exhibit A (collectively, the “Accounts”); and
C. Inventory and the related general intangibles listed on Exhibit A (collectively referred to as the “Inventory”).
1.2 Cash and Non-Recourse Portions of Purchase Price.
A. The sale of the Equipment is for cash payable at Closing. The sale of the Accounts and Inventory is on a non-recourse basis. The net proceeds attributable to the Accounts and Inventory that are collected by Buyer or Seller shall be applied to the portion of the Purchase Price (as defined below) that is allocated to the Accounts and Inventory as set forth in Section 1.3 below.
B. Buyer’s sole obligation with respect to the Purchase Price allocated to the Accounts and Inventory shall be to remit to Seller all net proceeds received by Buyer with respect to the Accounts and Inventory. In this connection, (i) all proceeds shall first go to offset any payables of SSRE owed to Buyer, including any post-Closing payables related to SSRE finished goods manufactured by Buyer on behalf of SSRE post-Closing; (ii) proceeds of Accounts shall be first applied to any reasonable collection expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the collection of the Accounts and the balance shall be remitted to Seller, (iii) proceeds of Inventory in excess of the Purchase Price allocated to such Inventory shall be retained by Buyer and the balance shall be remitted Seller (for the avoidance of doubt, the amount in excess of the Purchase Price allocated to an item of Inventory (the Purchase Price for an item of Inventory is based on the cost of such item of Inventory set forth on Exhibit 1.2B) attached hereto that is received by Buyer from the sale of such Inventory to a customer shall be retained by Buyer), (iv) to the extent the total amount received by Seller from the net proceeds of all Accounts and Inventory are less than the Purchase Price allocated to such Accounts and Inventory (such difference is the “Shortfall”), Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for such Shortfall.
1.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Sale Assets is Six Million Five Hundred Twenty Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($6,525,000) and is allocated as follows:
A. $4,500,000 for the Equipment.
B. $1,062,500 for the Accounts.
C. $962,500 for the Inventory.
1.4 Payment of the Purchase Price.
A. At Closing, Buyer shall make payment of $4,500,000 of the Purchase Price (which shall be allocated to the purchase of the Equipment) pursuant to the following wire instructions:

2. Delivery of Sale Assets.
2.1 Seller agrees to execute and deliver to Buyer, upon Buyer’s written request, such further instruments of assignment as may be reasonably necessary to pass to Buyer title to the Sale Assets consistent with this Agreement.

2.2 The Purchase Price shall be adjusted to the extent the actual amount Equipment, Inventory and/or Accounts is different from the amount used in calculating the Purchase Price allocated to Equipment, Inventory and Accounts, as applicable.

3. Limited Warranty of Title. Seller represents and warrants that (i) Seller has a perfected security interest in the Sale Assets to the extent a security interest in the Sale Assets can be perfected by the filing of a Uniform Commercial Financing Statement (Form UCC-1) in the office of the California Secretary of State, (ii) Seller has the immediate right to exercise all of its rights and remedies against Borrower and to enforce its security interest in the Sale Assets, and (iii) Seller is conveying to Buyer all of the right, title and interest of the Borrower (to the extent applicable) in the Sale Assets, free and clear of all liens, security interests and encumbrances which are junior and subordinate to the security interests of Seller in the Sale Assets. In this connection, no warranty is made, or defense will be given, as to any claims or liens of contractors with statutory liens or proprietary rights under applicable federal, state or other law.

This Agreement sets forth in full the terms of the agreement between Seller and Buyer with respect to the subject matter hereof and is intended as the full, complete and exclusive contract governing the agreement between Seller and Buyer regarding the subject hereof. This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions, promises, representations, warranties, agreements and understandings between Seller and Buyer regarding the subject hereof. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, nor may any rights hereunder be waived, except in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the modification, amendment or waiver is sought.

11. General. Any waiver of any breach of this Agreement in a particular instance shall not operate as a waiver of subsequent breaches of the same or a different kind. Any party’s exercise or failure to exercise any rights under this Agreement in a particular instance shall not operate as a waiver of the party’s right to exercise the same or different rights in subsequent instances. Nothing herein constitutes a waiver of any of Seller’s rights and remedies against the Borrower or any other person, firm or corporation. In the event of any litigation between the parties based upon or arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees) from the non-prevailing party.

If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. The headings in this Agreement are solely for convenience and shall be given no effect in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

THE PARTIES SHALL SELECT A SINGLE NEUTRAL REFEREE, WHO SHALL BE A RETIRED STATE OR FEDERAL JUDGE WITH AT LEAST FIVE YEARS OF JUDICIAL EXPERIENCE IN CIVIL MATTERS.
