Agreement of the Parties
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the above recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties, it is agreed
that:
1. Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth fully herein.
2. Purchase Price; Charleston Operations Charge Escrow. Section 2.03 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
The aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) which Purchaser shall pay to Seller for all of the Membership Interests owned by Seller shall be equal to the sum of: (i) $ (the “Cash Payment”);
plus (ii) the Earn Out. For the avoidance of doubt the Cash Payment paid at Closing will (i) be calculated as One Hundred Ten Percent (110%) multiplied by the Company’s book equity as shown on the Company’s most recent month-end balance sheet as of
the Closing Date, and (ii) will be adjusted post Closing to make it equal to One Hundred Ten Percent (110%) multiplied by the Book Equity Value as provided in Section 2.05.
See Exhibit 2.03 for an illustrative calculation of the Cash Payment.
One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) of the Cash Payment shall be held by Escrow Agent (the “Charleston Operations Charge Fund”) until such time as the Charleston Operations Charge is actually
calculated but in no event later than 90 days after the Closing Date. Thereafter, Escrow Agent shall disburse from the Charleston Operations Charge Fund an amount equal to the Charleston Operations Charge to Purchaser and the balance, if any, to
Seller. To the extent the Charleston Operations Charge exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), such excess shall be deducted from the Earn Out.
3. Post Closing Adjustment to Purchase Price. Section 2.05 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“The Company will calculate the Book Equity Value of the Company within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date. At that time the following adjustment to the Purchase Price will be made (the
“Post Closing Adjustment Payment”) as follows:
If the Cash Payment is less than One Hundred Ten Percent (110%) multiplied by the Book Equity Value, the Purchaser shall make a cash payment to the Seller equal to the difference between One Hundred
Ten Percent (110%) multiplied by the Book Equity Value and the Cash Payment no later than ninety (90) days post-Closing Date;
If the Cash Payment exceeds One Hundred Ten Percent (110%) multiplied by the Book Equity Value, the Seller shall make a cash payment to the Purchaser equal to the difference between the Cash Payment
and One Hundred Ten Percent (110%) multiplied by the Book Equity Value.
(a) Each Earn Out Payment will be in an amount up to twenty percent (20%) of the
Company’s Pre-Tax Income for the Earn Out Year preceding each Earn Out Payment.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Earn Out will be reduced
by the sum of (A) reduced or increased by the surplus or deficiency in the Company’s Warranty Reserve, plus (B) any Pre-Tax Income Distributions to Seller made after the Closing Date, and plus (C) any balance due Purchaser resulting from deficiency
in funds in the Charleston Operating Charge Escrow as described in section 2.03 above.
(c) Notwithstanding any terms herein to the contrary Purchaser will deduct amounts due
for the Earn Out Deductions from each Earn Out Payment until the Earn Out Deductions are paid in full. Upon payment in full of the Earn Out Deductions remaining Earn Out Payments will be paid to Seller as provided herein.
(d) Purchaser will ensure that all financial statements prepared by or for the Company
post-Closing will be in conformity to GAAP.
(e) Purchaser will provide Seller with the Company’s annual financial statements
beginning with the period ending December 31, 2020 and continuing through December 31, 2024.
(f) Purchaser’s failure to pay any Earn Out Payment when due is a default under this
Agreement entitling the Seller to seek any available remedies at law or equity, together with the recovery of all costs and fees, including attorney’s fees.
The provisions of this Section 2.05 shall survive the Closing.
