EXHIBIT D: ADDENDUM TO COMMERCIAL CONTRACT
FOR SELLER FINANCING AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED PARTIES
CONCERNING THE PROPERTIES
The portion of the Sales Price not payable in cash will be paid as follows:
SELLER FINANCING:
(1) At closing, Xxxxx will execute and deliver a promissory note (the ”Note”) from Buyer to Seller in the amount of $9,000,000.00, bearing 9.5% interest per annum. Matured, unpaid amounts will bear interest at the maximum rate of interest allowed by law.. The Note will be payable in 144 equal monthly installments of principal and interest in the amount of $104,973.59, with the initial payment due thirty (30) days after the date of Closing, with each subsequent monthly payment due thereafter. The debt taken "subject to" is included within the monthly payment.
(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Properties are not conveyed to Buyer as of the Closing Date, then the Sellers and Buyer will enter into a master lease agreement (“Master Lease “) for all of the Properties, as of the Closing Date, which will provide for the payment of monthly rent in an amount equal to the monthly payments which would otherwise have been due under the Note ($104,973.59). Upon the closing of the Properties, the Note will be adjusted to provide that the monthly payments previously made pursuant to the Master Lease will be a reduction to the Note as if a payment had been made pursuant to the Note.
(3) The Note will contain a reference to a Participation Agreement which the Sellers will enter into that will set forth each of Sellers pro rata interest in the Note and the terms and conditions pursuant to which the designated Agent of the Note will distribute payments to each of the Sellers.
(4) The Note will be secured by vendor’s liens contained in the deeds and deed of trust liens and an assignment of leases payable at the place designated by Sellers.
(5) The Note will provide that if Buyer fails to timely pay an installment within 7 days after the installment is due, Buyer will pay a late fee equal to 1% of the installment not paid.
(6) The Note will provide for liability (corporate) against the Maker in the event of default.
(7) The Note will not be pre-payable in the first 60 months and, thereafter, if prepaid at the election of the JHI, must be prepaid in full and will be subject to a prepayment penalty of 10% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note. Any pre-payment shall be applied to the payment of the installments of principal last maturing and interest will immediately cease on the prepaid principal.
(8) In the event that the Note and the promissory note due under the Acquisition Agreement (as provided for therein, the “Acquisition Note”) are both pre-paid in full prior to their dates of maturity, then the $650,000 cash portion due Buyer twelve (12 ) years from the date of Closing will accelerate and become due and payable within thirty (30) days of the final payment of the Note and promissory note.
*Initialed for Identification by Seller ______ * and Buyer ______ | P a g e | 22 |
Commercial Contract - Improved Property |
(9) If an owner’s policy of title insurance is furnished, Buyer, at Xxxxx’s expense, will furnish Seller with a mortgagee title policy in the amount of the Note at closing.
(10) If all or any part of the Properties are sold or conveyed without Seller’s prior written consent, Sellers, at Sellers' option, may declare the outstanding principal balance of the note, plus accrued interest, immediately due and payable. Any of the following is not a sale or conveyance of the Property:
(a) the creation of a subordinate lien;
(b) a sale under a subordinate lien;
(c) a deed under threat or order of condemnation;
(d) a conveyance solely between the parties; or
(e) the passage of title by reason of death of a maker or operation of law.
(11) Deposits for Taxes and Insurance: Buyer will not deposit with Sellers a pro rata part of the estimated annual ad valorem taxes on the Properties or a pro rata part of the estimated annual insurance premiums for the improvements on the Properties but will furnish proof of timely payment.
(12) The Note will include a provision for reasonable attorney’s fees for any collection action.
(13) The Buyer will be entitled to indemnification as a result of a breach by the Sellers of any of the terms and provisions of this agreement, including but not limited to undisclosed liabilities related to the Properties which were incurred prior to Closing and result in a claim against the Buyer and/or the Properties. If the Buyer is entitled to indemnification, the Buyer shall have the right to Offset any such claims which have been paid by the Buyer or for which the Buyer has an obligation to pay against any obligations that are then due and payable to the Sellers. Such Right of Offset shall include attorney’s fees and costs in the Defense of any such breached obligation by the Sellers.
(14) The Note will also contain a partial release plan that will entitle the Buyer, on or after sixty (60) months from the date of Closing, to have certain Properties released from Sellers’ liens upon the aggregate payment of the first $6,000,000 in principal of the Note and the Acquisition Note, and thereafter upon the aggregate payment of each additional $3,000,000 in principal of the Note and Acquisition Note, until the Note and Acquisition Note are paid in full. Upon each such release benchmark, the Buyer and the Sellers will mutually agree upon which of the Properties will be released from the Sellers’ liens. For purposes of the partial release, any Reduction Amount (as defined in Section 1.9(ii)(D) of the Acquisition Agreement) shall not be deemed a reduction in the principal of the Note or Acquisition Note.
(15) The Note and/or Deed(s) of Trust will also provide that all underlying debt (that indebtedness set forth in Exhibit "G") will be paid timely by Buyer and Buyer will furnish proof of payment of each underlying note to Sellers as may be agreed upon prior to Closing.
(16) The Note will provide the Sellers a right of first refusal, whereby if the Buyer intends to prepay the Note using proceeds from a debt financing transaction offered by a third party lender, at least 10 days prior to closing such transaction, the Buyer will provide the Sellers and/or its affiliates the right to provide financing to the Buyer within the 10 day period, in lieu of the third party lender on the exact terms and conditions offered to the Buyer in the proposed transaction.
(17) A default under the Acquisition Note will be deemed to be a default under the Note.
