FIRST AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This First Amendment to Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) dated May 31, 2018 (the “Contract Date”) and effective February 28, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), is by and between, A-Tech LLC, a [Texas] limited liability company (“A-Tech” and the “Seller”) and Monaker Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company” and the “Purchaser”). Each of the parties hereto are referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties” to the Agreement as such terms are used herein.

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, A-Tech and the Company are parties to that certain Purchase Agreement dated November 21, 2017 and the Addendum thereto dated November 21, 2017 (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase from A-Tech, 12 parcels of land on Long Caye, Lighthouse Reef, Belize (the “Property” and the “Purchase”) and A-Tech agreed to construct 12 vacation rental residences on the Property (the “Construction”);

 

WHEREAS, in consideration for the Purchase of the Property and the Construction, the Company issued A-Tech 240,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $1.5 million or $6.25 per share (the “Property Shares”);

 

WHEREAS, in the event the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days prior to the 90th day after the closing of the Purchase was less than $6.25 per share, the Company was required to true up the value of the Property Shares and on February 20, 2018, an additional 66,632 shares of restricted common stock of the Company were issued to A-Tech (the “True-Up Shares”);

 

WHEREAS, the Purchase Agreement required A-Tech to provide architectural plans and permitting for the Construction within 90 days of the closing of the Purchase (which transaction closed on November 21, 2017 (the “Closing”)) and to complete the Construction within 270 days from the Closing and that

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company had the right to cancel 12,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company per residence (valued at $75,000 per residence) or 144,000 shares of restricted common stock in aggregate, if the construction of the residences were not timely permitted, planned and/or constructed pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (the “Cancellation Option”);

 

WHEREAS, A-Tech has not met the deadlines in the Purchase Agreement and the Company desires to exercise the Cancellation Option on the terms and conditions set forth below;

First Amendment to Purchase Agreement

 

 

WHEREAS, notwithstanding the closing of the Purchase Agreement on November 21, 2017, the title to the Property has not to date been transferred into the name of Monaker (the “Transfer of Title”); and

 

WHEREAS, in an effort to avoid the timing and cost associated with the formal Transfer of Title, A-Tech and the Company now desire to amend the Purchase Agreement as set forth below to provide for the Company’s acquisition of a right to own the Property for no additional consideration, instead of the acquisition of the Property itself.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants, agreements, and considerations herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, which the Parties acknowledge receipt of and sufficiency of, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.           Termination of Construction Requirement, Cancellation of Shares.

 

(a)           Effective on the Cancellation Date (defined below), A-Tech shall no longer be required or obligated to undertake the Construction (the “Termination of the Construction Requirements”).

 

(b)           Within five (5) business days of the date of this Agreement, A-Tech agrees to return the certificate(s) evidencing an aggregate of 144,000 of the Property Shares (the “Returned Shares”) to the Company for cancellation (the “Cancellation” and the date of such Cancellation, the “Cancellation Date”) and agrees to the Company cancelling such Returned Shares. In addition to the return of the certificates evidencing the Returned Shares (to the extent such Returned Shares were issued in certificate form) A-Tech shall also supply instructions to cancel such shares to the Company’s transfer agent along with a blank stock power with medallion signature guaranty and such other items and documents as the Company’s Transfer Agent shall reasonably request to affect such Cancellation from time to time.

 

(c)           The Cancellation shall be effective for all purposes as of the Effective Date.

 

2.           Amendment to Purchase Agreement.

 

(a)           Effective as of the Effective Date, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have acquired, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, a transferable, non-terminable, right to own the Property, at any time in the future (the “Right to Own”), for no additional consideration, upon the written notice to the Seller of the Purchaser’s intention to exercise the Right to Own and to affect a Transfer of Title.

(b)           Until exercised by the Purchaser or its assign(s), the Seller shall not (i) encumber, (ii) create any lien on, (iii) transfer, (iv) provide any party a right or option to acquire, and (v) provide any person any rights whatsoever to the Property, but shall instead hold the Property in trust solely for the benefit of the Purchaser.

 

(c)           The Seller shall assist the Purchaser in connection with any subsequent exercise of the Right to Own and/or any transfer or assignment thereof and shall work with the Purchaser or its assign(s) in order to affect the Transfer of Title at no additional cost or expense.

 

(d)           The Seller shall promptly affect the Transfer of Title upon the exercise of the Right to Own by the Purchaser or its assign(s).

 

(e)           Effective as of the date of the original Purchase Agreement, each reference in the Purchase Agreement to “Block No. 32” or “Block No. 35” shall be replaced by a reference to “Block No. 47”.

 

3.           Minutes to Approve Transaction. Concurrently with the Parties entry into this Agreement, A-Tech shall deliver the Company minutes of the managers and members of A-Tech approving A-Tech’s entry into this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including.

(b)           The execution and delivery by such Party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and shall not, by the lapse of time, the giving of notice or otherwise: (i) constitute a violation of any law; or (ii) constitute a breach of any provision contained in, or a default under, any governmental approval, any writ, injunction, order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or any contract to which such Party is bound or affected; and
