Exhibit 10.6

 

PURCHASE OPTION AGREEMENT

 

This PURCHASE OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of November 7, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), by and among HFAKOH001 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and HOF VILLAGE WATERPARK, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant have entered into that certain Lease Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Ground Lease”), relating to that certain real property described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Property”);

 

WHEREAS, Landlord desires to give Tenant the right to purchase Landlord’s right, title, and interest in the Property, if any, pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof.

 

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Purchase Option.

 

(a) Grant of Purchase Option. Landlord hereby grants Tenant the option to purchase Landlord’s right, title, and interest, if any, in the Property (the “Purchase Option”), subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(b) Term of Purchase Option. Tenant may only exercise the Purchase Option by providing written notice to Landlord during the period beginning on December 1, 2027 and ending on November 30, 2034 (the “Option Period”), which written notice shall state that Tenant irrevocably exercises its right to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (such notice, the “Exercise Notice”); provided, however, that if any monetary Event of Default (as described in Section 23(i) of the Ground Lease) is continuing, Tenant shall not have the right to exercise the Purchase Option or issue any Exercise Notice, and any Exercise Notice issued by Tenant during the continuance of such monetary Event of Default shall be ineffective, null, and void. Tenant’s failure to deliver to Landlord an Exercise Notice during the Option Period shall result in an automatic termination of the Purchase Option without the need of any documentation thereof, but Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any documents reasonably requested by Landlord to further evidence such termination.

 

(c) Option Closing. The closing of the conveyance of the Property to Tenant pursuant to Tenant’s exercise of the Purchase Option (the “Option Closing”) shall occur on the date that is thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of a validly-issued Exercise Notice, or such earlier date as Landlord and Tenant may mutually agree (such date, the “Option Closing Date”). The Closing shall be conducted through a customary, New York style escrow arrangement between the parties and a nationally-recognized title insurance company selected by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant (the “Escrow Agent”), or such other place or manner as the parties hereto may mutually agree.

 

 

 

 

(d) Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property (the “Purchase Price”) shall be an amount equal to the result of the following formula: the then-current annual Base Rent under the Ground Lease divided by 0.075. The Purchase Price, as adjusted by the prorations and credits set forth in Section 1(e) below, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the Option Closing Date.

 

(e) Prorations; Closing Costs.

 

(i) As all items of income and expense are the responsibility of Tenant under the Ground Lease, and there shall be no prorations of taxes, assessments, utilities, or other expenses; provided, however, that Tenant shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for any prepaid rents under the Ground Lease that are attributable to the period after the Option Closing Date.

 

(ii) At the Option Closing, Landlord shall pay: (1) one half of any customary escrow fees, (2) the recording costs for the removal of any mortgages, assignments of leases and rents, and financing statements arising through Landlord, and (3) Landlord’s attorneys’ fees. At the Option Closing, Tenant shall pay all other amounts necessary for the consummation of the Option Closing, including, without limitation (1) one half of any customary escrow fees, (2) the recording costs of any liens or encumbrances other than as described above, (3) Tenant’s attorneys’ fees, (4) all state, county, local, and municipal transfer taxes payable in connection with the conveyance of the Property at the Option Closing, (5) all fees and other amounts charged by any state, county, local, or municipal agency in connection with any requirements related to the recording of the Deed (as hereinafter defined) or the consummation of the transfer of the Property at the Option Closing, and (6) any surveys, title policies, or other due diligence reports or other deliverables undertaken by Tenant.

 

(f) Option Closing Documents.

 

(i) At the Option Closing, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the following documents, executed and notarized as applicable:

 

(1) one (1) original deed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, from the Landlord to Tenant conveying the Property to Tenant, subject to all matters of record (the “Deed”);

 

(2) one (1) original termination of lease and memorandum of lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Lease Termination”);

 

(3) one (1) copy of an assignment of intangible property in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Assignment of Intangible Property”);

 

(4) one (1) copy of a settlement statement setting forth the Purchase Price, all prorations and other adjustments to be made pursuant to the terms hereof, and the funds required for the Option Closing as contemplated hereunder (the “Settlement Statement”);

 

2

 

 

(5) all transfer tax statements, declarations, residency certifications, filings, and notices as may be necessary or appropriate for purposes of recordation of the Deed; and

 

(6) an owner’s affidavit in a customary and reasonable form provided by Landlord.

 

(ii) At the Option Closing, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the following, executed and notarized as applicable:

 

(1) the Purchase Price, as adjusted by the prorations and credits set forth in Section 1(e) above;

 

(2) one (1) original of the Lease Termination;

 

(3) one (1) copy of the Assignment of Intangible Property;

 

(4) one (1) copy of the Settlement Statement; and

 

(5) all transfer tax statements, declarations, residency certifications, filings, and notices as may be necessary or appropriate for purposes of recordation of the Deed.

 

(g) Conditions to Landlord’s Obligations. The obligation of Landlord to consummate the Option Closing shall be subject to the condition precedent of Tenant delivering all of the items required to be delivered by Tenant under Section 1(f)(ii) above and otherwise complying with the terms of this Agreement. If any condition set forth in this Section 1(g) is not satisfied as of the Option Closing Date (or waived in writing by Landlord), then Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Agreement, and the Purchase Option shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect, but Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any documents reasonably requested by Landlord to further evidence such termination.

 

(h) Conditions to Tenant’s Obligations. The obligation of Tenant to consummate the Option Closing shall be subject to the condition precedent of Landlord delivering all of the items required to be delivered by Landlord under Section 1(f)(i) above and otherwise complying with the terms of this Agreement. If any condition set forth in this Section 1(h) is not satisfied as of the Option Closing Date (or waived in writing by Tenant), then Tenant may, at its option and as its sole and exclusive remedy, pursue the remedy of specific performance.

 

(i) Title Insurance. Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, pursue a title insurance policy for the conveyance of the Property pursuant to this Agreement, but such title insurance policy shall not be a condition or requirement for the Option Closing and shall in no event delay the Option Closing Date.

2. Broker’s Commission.

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Purchase Option Agreement dated as of November 7, 2022 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between Assignor, as seller, and Assignee, as buyer, Assignor granted Assignee an option to purchase the Property (as hereinafter defined) upon the terms and conditions set forth therein;

 

WHEREAS, Assignee has elected to exercise such option, and accordingly Assignor shall convey to Assignee, and Assignee has agreed to accept from Assignor, all of Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to the real property, and (i) all structures and improvements owned by Seller and located on such land, (ii) any and all right, title and interest of Seller in and to all privileges, rights, options, easements, hereditaments, entitlements and appurtenances thereto belonging, and (iii) any and all right, title and interest of Seller in and to any streets, alleys, passages and other rights-of-way included therein or adjacent thereto (before or after any vacation thereof), owned by Assignor and commonly known by the address of 2301 George Halas Drive NW, Canton, Ohio 44178 (the “Property”); and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Assignor is required to execute and deliver this Assignment in order to facilitate the assignment of all right, title and interest of Seller, to all intangible property and assets relating to the Property, including, without limitation, all licenses, permits, entitlements, bonds, development rights, approvals, authorizations, certificates of occupancy, utility agreements, plans, specifications, site plans, surveys, schematics, indemnities, warranties, and guaranties (individually or collectively, as the context may require, the “Intangible Property”); and

 

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Assignment, the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Property are being consummated by Assignor and Assignee.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration paid by Assignee to Assignor, the mutual receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto for themselves, their legal representatives, successors and assigns, hereby agree as follows:

Assignee hereby assumes the obligations of Assignor in respect of such Intangible Property to the extent arising from events occurring from and after the Effective Date.

 

Assignor shall defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless Assignee and its partners, beneficial owners, affiliates, officers, agents, employees, representatives or other constituent entities of Assignee from and against any and all loss, cost, liability, expense, claim, action, damages, and fines (including those arising from the loss of life, personal injury and/or property damage), including reasonable attorneys’ fees, directly or indirectly arising from or out of any failure by Assignor, on or before the Effective Date, to have performed Assignor’s obligations in respect of such Intangible Property.
