REAL ESTATE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS REAL ESTATE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this 28th day of August, 2020 (the “Effective Date”) by and between E & W, LLC, a West Virginia limited liability company (“Seller”), and 601 NSR, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and or its assigns (“Purchaser”, and together with Seller, each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”).

 

RECITALS:

 

WHEREAS, Seller is the owner of the surface of real property, buildings and site improvements located at 1508 E. Main Street, Oak Hill, West Virginia 25901, being more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Premises”);

 

WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell, and Purchaser desires to purchase, the Property (hereinafter defined); and

 

WHEREAS, Seller is the owner of a 100% fee simple interest in all buildings, certain structures and certain site improvements located on the Premises (collectively the “Improvements”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties as hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties intending to be legally bound hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Purchase and Sale; Integral Transaction; Deposit. Subject to and on the terms and conditions set forth herein, Seller hereby agrees to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from Seller, the Premises together with all (a) benefits, privileges, fixtures, easements, hereditaments and other rights appurtenant to the Premises or any part thereof, including without limitation Seller’s right, title and interest, if any, in and to any streets, alleys, ways, sewer rights, utility capacity or rights thereto, development rights, impact fee credits, air rights, water rights, water courses and water bodies adjacent to the Premises and mineral rights; (b) all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any and all of the Improvements; and (c) all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all surveys, reports, plans, specifications, drawings, engineering information and data, guaranties, warranties, licenses and permits relating to the Premises (the Premises and all other property and/or rights enumerated in Sections 1(a), 1(b) and 1(c) are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Property”).

 

This Agreement represents one facet of a multi-part transaction. The other facet consists of a separate asset purchase agreement of even date herewith (the “APA”; capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein are used as defined in the APA), by and between Beckley Buick-GMC Auto Mall, Inc., a West Virginia corporation, King Coal Chevrolet Co., a West Virginia corporation and Hometown Preowned Vehicles, Inc., a West Virginia corporation (collectively the “Asset Seller”), and LMP Automotive Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Asset Purchaser”), for purchase and sale of the Franchised Dealerships and Ancillary Dealerships, as defined in the APA. This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon termination or expiration of the APA for any reason. No separate deposit under this Agreement is required of Purchaser; rather, Purchaser has delivered to the Escrow Agent (as defined in the APA) the Deposit (as defined in the APA) to be held and disbursed in accordance with the terms of the APA; accordingly, the Deposit provisions of the APA are part of this Agreement. The respective obligations of Seller and Purchaser to close the transaction hereunder are conditioned upon the closing of the transactions contemplated under the APA. In addition, this Agreement and the APA are hereby cross-defaulted such that a default by a Party under one shall constitute a default by that same Party, or its affiliate, under the other agreement. If this Agreement is terminated and cancelled, this Agreement and the APA shall become void, and there shall be no further liability or obligation of any Party to either this Agreement or the APA, except as to matters of default as provided in the pertinent sections of this Agreement and the APA, as well as matters that are expressly stated to survive termination.

2. Purchase Price; Appraisal Fair Market Value.

 

(a) The purchase price for the Property (the “Purchase Price”) shall be its fair market value as of the Effective Date, as determined by appraisal of the Property (including all Improvements thereon) performed by a MAI-certified appraiser (e.g., CBRE, Cushman Wakefield, Integra, etc.) selected by Purchaser or its lender (the “Initial Appraisal”); provided, however, that such appraisal shall not include the income approach to valuation. The Initial Appraisal, with its cost to be borne by Purchaser, shall be ordered within twenty (20) business days after the Effective Date. Upon receipt of the Initial Appraisal report, Purchaser shall promptly provide Seller with a copy.

 

(b) If Seller objects to the appraised fair market value of the Property as determined in the Initial Appraisal, the Seller, at its cost, shall have the right to have a second appraisal of the fair market value of the Property (the “Confirmation Appraisal”), which shall be ordered by the Seller within five (5) business days after receipt of a copy of the Initial Appraisal. The Confirmation Appraisal shall not include the income approach to valuation. Upon receipt of the Confirmation Appraisal, Seller shall promptly provide Purchaser with a copy.

 

(c) If the difference in the fair market value of the Property between the Confirmation Appraisal and the Initial Appraisal is ten percent (10%) or less (calculated by taking the difference and dividing it by the fair market value of the Initial Appraisal), then the Purchase Price shall be an amount equal to the average of the fair market value of the Property as reflected in the Initial and Confirmation Appraisals.

 

(d) If the difference in the fair market value of the Property between the Confirmation Appraisal and the Initial Appraisal is greater than ten percent (10%) (calculated by taking the difference and dividing it by the fair market value of the Initial Appraisal), then five (5) business days after delivery of a copy of the Confirmation Appraisal to Seller and Purchaser, the Parties shall mutually choose a third appraiser to perform a third appraisal (the “Resolution Appraisal”), the cost of which shall be borne one-half (1/2) by each of Seller and Purchaser. The Resolution Appraisal shall not include the income approach to valuation. Copies of the Resolution Appraisal shall be promptly provided to Seller and Purchaser upon completion.

 

(e) Upon completion of the Resolution Appraisal, the resolved fair market value of the Property shall be determined by averaging the fair market values reflected in the two (2) appraisals nearest to each other in value, and the Purchase Price shall be an amount equal to such resolved fair market value. The appraisal with the largest variance in value from the other two (2) appraisals shall not be used to determine the fair market value of the Property.

 

(f) The Purchase Price shall equal the fair market value determined by the above stated appraisal process even though it may differ from the appraised fair market value utilized by Purchaser’s lender for purposes of financing the Purchase Price.

 

(g) Except as otherwise set forth above, each of the appraisals obtained in accordance with the foregoing shall be prepared in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, as well as the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. There shall be no Extraordinary Assumptions or Hypothetical Conditions (as defined in the Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, 5th Edition) used in any of the appraisal methods.

At Closing, Seller will deliver to Purchaser possession of the Property, subject to the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined), and shall deliver all available keys, and alarm codes, if any, to the Property.

At Closing, Seller will transfer marketable title to the Property to Purchaser by general warranty deed in form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (the “Deed”) free and clear of any and all liens and encumbrances (except for Permitted Exceptions, as hereinafter defined, if any). If the legal description of the Property set forth on the Survey (defined below) is different from the legal description set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, Seller shall also execute, at Closing, a quit claim deed conveying the Property to Purchaser utilizing the legal description reflected in the Survey.

6. Inspections.

 

6.1 Environmental and Building Inspections. Purchaser shall have 60 days from receipt of the Effective Date (the “Inspection Period”) in which to conduct, inspect and evaluate any and all tests, studies, and surveys of, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, all aspects of the Property, including, without limitation, the condition of the improvements located thereon, the soil conditions, environmental conditions (including Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments), property condition assessments, structural testing, and to confirm the zoning and status of entitlements applicable to the Property. Purchaser shall avoid any unreasonable interference with the business and operations of Seller’s current tenant’s business; and Purchaser, at its sole expense, shall promptly repair any damage caused by said inspections. Seller will make its appropriate officers, employees and representatives available to Purchaser at all reasonable times for the purpose of assisting Purchaser in such investigations or examinations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may not perform any test of the Property of an intrusive or disruptive nature (including, without limitation, soil borings), without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except that Seller shall be entitled to review and approve any investigation planned and split any samples taken. If Purchaser is required or advised by its consultants or its lender to do environmental testing in addition to Phase I environmental testing, or if a Phase II environmental site assessment is recommended, the Inspection Period shall be automatically extended an additional 15 days (or such greater amount as may be reasonably necessary for Seller and Purchaser (and its lender) to review and agree upon any recommended course of remediation) beyond the completion of such additional environmental testing. Purchaser shall provide copies of all tests, studies, reports and surveys obtained by Purchaser in the course of Purchaser’s investigation and evaluation of the Property as soon as reasonably possibly after the receipt thereof by Purchaser, and if Purchaser’s environmental reports reveal recognized environmental conditions that require remediation in order to bring the Property into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, then Seller, at its sole expense, shall take all actions necessary to remediate said conditions prior to Closing to Purchaser’s commercially reasonable satisfaction. If Purchaser is not satisfied with the inspections of the Property, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement (without premium or penalty) by sending written notice to the other Party on or before 2nd Business Day after expiration of the Inspection Period, as may be extended in accordance with the terms hereof. All site inspections shall be coordinated in advance with Lori A. Davis, whose email address ***@*** and whose cell phone number is 304-[**].

 

6.2 Title Examination.

 

(a) Purchaser shall order and obtain a title insurance commitment (the “Commitment”) from a national title insurance company of its selection (“Title Insurer”), insuring fee-simple marketable surface title to the Property. Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Inspection Period to examine the Commitment and all instruments listed as exceptions and as requirements therein. If title is found unacceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall, on or before expiration of the Inspection Period, provide Notice(s) to Seller specifying its title and/or survey objections (the “Title Notice”), and any exceptions set forth in the Commitment or Survey to which Purchaser does not object pursuant to a Title Notice shall be deemed a permitted exception (the “Permitted Exceptions”). Seller will have 10 days from receipt of Purchaser’s Title Notice(s), (the “Seller’s Response Period”) to either (i) notify Purchaser that it will cure any of such title objections and the steps it will take to do so, (ii) notify Purchaser that it elects not to cure any of such objections. If Seller fails to respond within Seller’s Response Period, then Seller is deemed to have elected not to seek to remove, correct, and/or satisfy any objections. If Seller’s response indicates that Seller will not seek to remove, correct, and/or satisfy certain objections set forth in Purchaser’ Title Notice, or if Seller fails to notify Purchaser of Seller’s response within Seller’s Response Period, then Purchaser may either (i) waive certain objections set forth in Purchaser’s Title Notice and proceed with Closing or (ii) terminate this Agreement by sending written notice thereof to Seller not later than 5 business days after the later of Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s response if any, or expiration of Seller’s Response Period if Seller failed to provide a timely response. If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement, Purchaser is deemed to have waived any of those certain objections set forth in a Title Notice that Seller has elected not to cure, and to have accepted those title conditions as Permitted Exceptions. If there remain at Closing any objections that Purchaser included in Purchaser’s Title Notice(s) for which Seller affirmatively agreed to seek to remove, correct, and/or satisfy, then Purchaser may elect to: (i) waive such objections and proceed with the Closing and accept the Property subject to such exceptions without reduction of the Purchase Price, and all such exceptions so waived or otherwise accepted by Purchaser shall hereinafter constitute “Permitted Exceptions”, or (ii) Purchaser may terminate this Agreement, thereby releasing Purchaser and Seller from all further obligations under this Agreement (except those that expressly survive), upon which the APA shall also terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall cure or cause any monetary liens against the Property to be satisfied and removed at or prior to Closing and to remove any liens pendens against the Property.

(b) If any subsequent update of the Commitment reveals any additional exceptions not permitted by this Agreement, Seller shall have 10 days in which to remove such additional exceptions, subject to the limitations set forth above. If Seller elects not to remove or is unable to remove such additional exceptions, Purchaser shall have the same rights and remedies as provided above, except that the Closing shall not be extended more than 10 days to permit Seller to cure any such additional exceptions.

 

(c) Seller and Purchaser each agree to provide commercially reasonable affidavits and documentation, acceptable in form and substance to Seller and Purchaser, to enable the Title Company to delete all Schedule B-I requirements, the “gap” exception, and the construction lien and parties in possession exceptions from the Commitment at Closing. Seller and Purchaser each shall be responsible for satisfying those Schedule B-I requirements applicable to each of them.

 

6.3 Survey. Purchaser may, at its expense, obtain a survey of the Property (the “Survey”) during the Inspection Period. If the Survey discloses an encroachment on the Property or that improvements located on the Property encroach on setback lines, easements, lands of others, or violate any restrictions or applicable governmental regulations which are unacceptable to Purchaser, which will impair the marketability of the Property, or constitute a survey exception on the owner’s title insurance policy, then upon Notice to Seller, tendered on or before expiration of the Inspection Period, the same shall constitute a Title Notice and shall be governed by the terms of Section 6.2 hereof.

15. Indemnification.

 

(a) Seller agrees, from and after the Closing, to indemnify Purchaser, its successors and assigns and their respective owners, managers, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Purchaser Parties”) harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, loss, cost or expense any of them may incur, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incident to, resulting from any way arising out of (i) the breach of any warranty or representation made herein, (ii) any damages incurred by Purchaser as a result of Seller’s failure to pay expenses arising as a result of required environmental remediation as contemplated by Section 6.1 above or (iii) subject to section 6.1 and 6.2 herein above, the ownership or operation of the Property by Seller on or prior to Closing, including but not limited to any and all claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, loss or expense incurred, resulting from, or in any way arising out of any injury to persons or damage to property happening or occurring in, on or about the Property in connection with the operation of the Property by Seller on or prior to the Closing. This Section 15 shall survive the Closing for twenty-four (24) months.

 

(b) Purchaser hereby agrees, from and after the Closing, to indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, loss, cost or expense incurred by Seller, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incident to, resulting from, or any way arising out of (i) the breach of any warranty or representation made herein, (ii) the investigation (prior to Closing), or (ii) ownership or operation of the Property by Purchaser after the Closing, including but not limited to any and all claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, loss or expense incurred, resulting from, or in any way arising out of any injury to persons or damage to property happening or occurring in, on or about the Property in connection with the operation of the Property, after the Closing. This Section 15 shall survive the Closing for twenty-four (24) months.

 

(c) As used in this Section 15, the term “Indemnitor” refers to the Party from whom indemnification is sought and the “Indemnified Party” refers to the Party seeking indemnification.

 

(d) If any claim that is covered by this Section 15 is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice of such claim (the “Indemnity Notice”) to the Indemnitor within the survival period as set forth in this Agreement. Failure to give or delay in giving the Indemnity Notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligation to indemnify unless, and to the extent that, the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by the failure or delay.

 

(e) Upon receipt by the Indemnitor of the Indemnity Notice, the Indemnitor shall have the responsibility of defending the claim, and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by the Indemnitor and shall notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to defend within 10 days of receipt of notice. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to be represented by counsel at its own expense in any defense. If the Indemnitor defends the claim, the Indemnitor shall have the exclusive right to settle any such matter, either before or after the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms as it deems fair and reasonable, provided that the Indemnitor, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, shall not consent to entry of judgment or enter into any settlement that involves injunctive relief against the Indemnified Party or does not include an unconditional release by the claimant to the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect to such matter. If a claim under this Section is not defended by the Indemnitor and the claim is determined favorably to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall give notice to the Indemnitor of the amount of the expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred with respect to such claim, and the Indemnitor shall remit such amount to the Indemnified Party promptly. If such claim is finally determined adversely to the Indemnified Party or if the Indemnified Party compromises the claim, the Indemnified Party shall give notice to the Indemnitor of the amount of such claim as finally determined or compromised (including the amount of the Indemnified Party's costs and interest with respect thereto and attorneys’ fees, if applicable), and the Indemnitor shall remit such amount to the Indemnified Party promptly. References herein to costs and attorneys’ fees shall also include all costs and attorneys' fees incurred in appeals.

(g) A Party entitled to indemnification hereunder shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such loss.

 

16. Default.

 

(a) If Purchaser shall default hereunder and fails to remedy such default within 10 days after receiving written notice from Seller thereof (or such longer period of time as may be reasonably necessary given the specific nature of the default, so long as Purchaser promptly commences cure thereof and diligently pursues completion), Seller’s sole remedy is to terminate this Agreement and cause its affiliate, the seller under the Asset Purchase Agreement, to seek any available remedies thereunder.

 

(b) If Seller shall default hereunder and fails to remedy such default within 10 days after receiving written notice from Purchaser thereof (or such longer period of time as may be reasonably necessary given the specific nature of the default, so long as Seller promptly commences cure thereof and diligently pursues completion), Purchaser’s sole remedy is to terminate this Agreement and cause its affiliate, the purchaser under the Asset Purchase Agreement, to seek any available remedies thereunder.

 

(c) This section shall survive Closing, termination or expiration of this Agreement.

 

17. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be (a) sent by registered or certified mail, First Class postage attached, (b) sent by hand or overnight delivery, or (c) sent by electronic mail, in each case addressed to the respective Parties at the addresses set forth below, or to such other address and to the attention of such other Persons as a Party hereto may specify from time to time by Notice to the other Parties.
