This MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made as of the date first above written, by and among ConnectM Technology Services, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), Xxxxxxxx Solar & Home, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (the “Company”), Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, an individual resident of Massachusetts (“Xxxxxxxx”) and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, an individual resident of Massachusetts (“Xxxxxxx” and, together with Xxxxxxxx, “Sellers”). Certain capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 12.2.
WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in the business of providing solar, roofing and other products and related services (the “Business”);
WHEREAS, the Sellers own 100.0% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Company, comprising a 50.0% membership interest held by Xxxxxxxx and a 50.0% membership interest held by Xxxxxxx;
WHEREAS, such membership interests constitute all of the issued and outstanding capital securities of any class of the Company; and
WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to purchase 100.0% of the issued and outstanding membership interests in the Company (the “Acquired Interests”) from Sellers, and Sellers desire to sell such Acquired Interests to Purchaser, all upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, such that after such purchase and sale the Buyer will own a 100.0% membership interest in the Company.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein set forth and for the benefits to be derived from the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1. Purchase and Sale of Acquired Interest. Subject to the terms and conditions, and based upon the representations and warranties, hereinafter set forth, Purchaser agrees to purchase, accept and pay for, and Sellers agree to sell, assign and deliver all of the Acquired Interests at the Closing (as hereinafter defined) for the Purchase Price set forth in Section 2.1.
Section 2. Consideration and Manner of Payment.
2.1. Purchase Price.
(a) | The “Purchase Price” means, an amount equal to $1,200,000.00(the “Base Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment as provided in this Agreement,. |
(b) | “Stock Value” means, $200,000.00, representing the agreed fair market value of the Acquisition Stock (as defined in Section 2.4(a)(iv)) as of the Closing. |
(c) | The “Closing Cash Payment” means an amount equal to $350,000.00 (i.e. $175k to each Seller), minus the Closing Transaction Expenses (e.g. Seller’s closing expenses which remain unpaid at closing, as more particularly described in Section 12.2). |
2.2. Purchase Price Adjustments.
(a)Within 120 days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser will deliver to the Sellers a statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) showing the amount of any Outstanding Receivables as of the Closing Date which remains unpaid as of March 31, 2022 (the “Uncollected Accounts Receivable”). The principal amount of the Seller Notes shall first be reduced equally in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Uncollected Accounts Receivable until the principal amounts thereof are reduced to zero, and in the event of any shortfall in excess of the principal balance of the Seller Notes, Sellers shall promptly pay to the Purchaser, the amount of such excess shortfall.
(b)In the event that the Company’s Net Working Capital (as defined below) based upon the Interim Financial Statements (as defined in Section 4.6) is less than -$12,000.00 (i.e. negative working capital of $12,000.00, the “NWC Target”), the principal amount of the Seller Notes shall first be reduced equally in an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which such Net Working Capital is less than the NWC Target until the principal amounts thereof are reduced to zero, and in the event of any shortfall in excess of the principal balance of the Seller Notes, Sellers shall promptly pay to the Purchaser, the amount of such excess shortfall. For purposes hereof, “Net Working Capital” shall mean (i) the sum of (A) the Company’s Cash at the Effective Date, plus (B) the Company’s Outstanding Receivables as of the Effective Date, plus (C) the value of the Company’s inventory (based upon acquisition cost) as of the Effective Date, plus (D) prepaid commissions as of the Effective Date minus (ii) the sum of (A) the Company’s Outstanding Payables as of the Effective Date plus (B) the balance of the Company’s Indebtedness as of the Effective Date.
2.3. Additional Purchase Price Adjustments. In the event of a termination of the Management Services Agreement (as defined below) prior to December 31, 2027 (the “Services End Date”), the Purchase Price shall be automatically reduced by an amount (the “Services Termination Adjustment Amount”) equal to (i) the original principal amount of the Xxxxxxxx Note multiplied by (ii) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the number of days comprising
the period starting on the date of such termination and ending on the Services End Date and (B) the denominator of which is the number of days comprising the period starting on the Effective Date and ending on the Services End Date. Such adjustment shall be effected by a reduction in the then outstanding principal amount of the Xxxxxxxx Note by an amount equal to the Services Termination Adjustment Amount effective as of the date of such termination.
2.4. Transactions to be Affected at the Closing.
(a)The Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers, as applicable:
(i) | to each of the Sellers, payment of one-half of the Closing Cash Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Sellers; |
