WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer are entering into that certain Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Real Property dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”), whereby Buyer will acquire from Purchaser the Property (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); Buyer will then lease the Property to Seller pursuant to the Ground Lease (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); and Guarantor will deliver to Buyer that certain Limited Recourse Carveout Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) and that certain Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Pledge”), wherein Guarantor will pledge to Buyer as collateral security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Pledge) a first priority security interest in the limited liability company interests of HOF Village Stadium, LLC (“HOF Stadium LLC”);

WHEREAS, HOF Stadium LLC owns a leasehold interest (the “Stadium Leasehold Interest”) in certain real property and improvements known as the “Hall of Fame Stadium” located at 1835 Harrison Avenue NW, Canton, Ohio (the “Stadium”), pursuant to that certain Project Lease dated as of February 26, 2016, and other related lease documents;

WHEREAS, Buyer’s due diligence investigations of HOF Stadium LLC, the Stadium Leasehold Interest, and the Stadium remain ongoing as of the date hereof, but Buyer is willing to proceed to the Closing under the Purchase Agreement so long as Seller enters into this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, all capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the undertaking by Seller and Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the other documents and agreements contemplated thereby, Seller agrees with Buyer as follows:

1. Put Right.

(a) In the event that Buyer, in its reasonable discretion, determines from Buyer’s review of third party reports (including title commitment, survey, environmental reports, and zoning reports) or estoppel certificates that there is a material defect in the status, condition, or sufficiency as collateral for the transactions described herein of HOF Stadium LLC, the Stadium Leasehold Interest, the Stadium, or HOF Stadium LLC’s other assets, then Buyer shall have the right (the “Put Right”) to cause the Seller to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Section 1 by delivering a written notice to Seller (a “Put Notice”) stating that Buyer intends to cause Seller to purchase the Property. Buyer must issue a Put Notice, if at all, on or before November 30, 2022. In the event Buyer fails to issue a Put Notice by November 30, 2022, then Buyer’s Put Right shall be deemed waived and shall be of no further force or effect. In the event Buyer issues any Put Notice on or before November 30, 2022, then, on the date that is five (5) days following Seller’s receipt of a Put Notice, Seller shall purchase the Property from Buyer on an as- is, where-is, with-all-faults basis (excluding only any liens or encumbrances suffered through Buyer during its ownership) for an amount equal to the sum of (i) $50,000,000.00, and (ii) all of Buyer’s reasonable and actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the effectuation of the Put Right (the “Put Purchase Price”). Any and all closing costs incurred by Buyer in connection with exercising its Put Right pursuant to this Section 1, including, without limitation, recording fees, transfer taxes and Buyer’s reasonable attorney’s fees, shall be paid by Seller at the closing of the transaction contemplated hereunder.

(b) At the closing occurring pursuant to the Put Right (the “Put Closing”), the parties will execute and deliver closing documents in substantially similar form and substance to the closing documents delivered at the Closing under the Purchase Agreement, except that Buyer and Seller shall terminate the Ground Lease, Pledge, and Guaranty, and Buyer shall promptly thereafter (i) submit terminations of any UCC financing statements filed in connection therewith, and (ii) return to Seller any certificates evidencing the Pledged Company Interests (as defined in the Pledge).

(c) If Seller defaults in its obligation to purchase the Property pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 1, it shall be an immediate Event of Default (as defined in the Ground Lease) under the Ground Lease entitling Buyer (as landlord) to pursue any and all remedies under the Ground Lease, and Buyer shall, in addition to all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, be entitled to compel performance pursuant to an action for specific performance hereunder.

2. Mortgage. In the event that Buyer determines that it would be better secured by a leasehold mortgage in its favor filed against the Stadium Leasehold Interest, then Guarantor will cause HOF Stadium LLC to promptly (but in all events within thirty (30) days after Buyer’s request) deliver a leasehold mortgage and customary related documents, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Guarantor and Buyer.

3. Easements.

(a) Seller shall use commercially reasonable and continuous efforts to obtain and record with the Stark County Recorder releases and terminations (the “Electric Easement Releases”) of the Electric Easements (as hereinafter defined). In the event Buyer has not so obtained and recorded the Electric Easement Releases by August 7, 2023, then Buyer may pursue such Electric Easement Releases at Seller’s cost (Seller to reimburse Buyer for such costs within thirty (30) days after an invoice therefor), but neither such deadline nor such election by Buyer shall diminish Seller’s obligation under the first sentence of this Section 3(a); provided, however, if Seller is unable to effectuate a release and termination of the Electrical Easements by the aforementioned deadline, through no fault of Seller, then so long as Seller continues with continuous commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such release and termination, the deadline shall be extended for an additional one hundred twenty (120) days. “Electric Easements” means all of the following: (i) Easement to The Ohio Power Company, filed for record August 9, 1938, in Volume 1195, Page 383, of the Stark County, Ohio Records, (ii) Easement to The Ohio Power Company, filed for record August 9, 1938, in Deed Book 1195, Page 384, of the Stark County, Ohio Records, (iii) Easement to The Ohio Power Company, filed for record October 4, 1938, in Volume 1195, Page 436, of the Stark County, Ohio Records, (iv) Easement to The Ohio Power Company, filed for record October 11, 1938, in Volume 1195, page 437, of the Stark County Records, Ohio Records, (v) Easement to The Ohio Power Company, filed for record October 4, 1938, in Deed Book 1195, Page 438, of the Stark County, Ohio Records, (vi) Easement to The Ohio Power Company, filed for record September 2, 1939, in Volume 1236, Page 564, of the Stark County, Ohio Records, (vii) Easement to The Ohio Power Company, filed for record August 25, 1951, in Deed Book 1948, Page 383, of the Stark County, Ohio Records, and (viii) Easement to The Ohio Power Company, filed for record August 25, 1951, in Deed Book 1948, Page 384, of the Stark County, Ohio Records.

(b) Seller shall use commercially reasonable and continuous efforts to agree with Ohio Power Company on the development of specific location maps on the Property for that certain Easement to Ohio Power Company, filed for record September 15, 2022, in Instrument No. 202209150039089, of the Stark County, Ohio Records (the “Blanket Easement”), such that the easement area for the Blanket Easement is definitively described and illustrated on the Property, but in no event shall such easement area conflict with the improvements at the Property. In the event Buyer has not finalized such maps by August 7, 2023, then Buyer may pursue such finalization at Seller’s cost (Seller to reimburse Buyer for such costs within thirty (30) days after an invoice therefor), but neither such deadline nor such election by Buyer shall diminish Seller’s obligation under the first sentence of this Section 3(b); provided, however, if Seller is unable to modify the Blanket Easement, as it relates to the Property, by the aforementioned deadline, through no fault of Seller, then so long as Seller continues with continuous commercially reasonable efforts to so modify the Blanket Easement, the deadline shall be extended for an additional one hundred twenty (120) days. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Blanket Easement also encumbers certain real property adjacent to the Property and there shall be no requirement for Seller to modify the Blanket Easement with respect to such adjacent real property.

(c) Seller shall use commercially reasonable and continuous efforts to complete the State of Ohio statutory procedure to release the Oil and Gas Leases (as hereinafter defined) as dormant mineral interests. The parties acknowledge and agree that despite Seller’s commercially reasonable efforts, the Oil and Gas Leases might not be subject to release pursuant to the Dormant Mineral Act and Seller’s obligation for continuous efforts shall cease if and when such a determination is made. “Oil and Gas Leases” means all of the following: (i) Oil and Gas Lease filed for record November 30, 1945 in Lease Book 81, Page 245 and rerecorded November 1, 1946 in Volume 85, Page 129, of the Stark County, Ohio Records, (ii) Oil and Gas Lease filed for record November 30, 1945 in Lease Book 81, Page 247, of the Stark County, Ohio Records, (iii) Oil and Gas Lease filed for record November 30, 1945 in Lease Book 81, Page 251, of the Stark County, Ohio Records, (iv) Oil and Gas Lease filed for record January 21, 1946 in Lease Book 81, Page 402, of the Stark County, Ohio Records, (v) Oil and Gas Lease filed for record February 11, 1946 in Lease Book 81, Page 501, of the Stark County, Ohio Records, (vi) Oil and Gas Lease filed for record February 14, 1946 in Volume 81, Page 533, of the Stark County, Ohio Records, (vii) Oil and Gas Lease filed for record April 16, 1946 in Lease Book 82, Page 375, of the Stark County, Ohio Records, (viii) Oil and Gas Lease filed for record June 5, 1946 in Volume 83, Page 149, of the Stark County, Ohio Records, (ix) Oil and Gas Lease filed for record June 20, 1946 in Volume 83, Page 254, of the Stark County, Ohio Records, and (x) Oil and Gas Lease filed for record June 17, 1947 in Lease Volume 88, page 363, of the Stark County Records.
