(b)     Seller shall pay for Seller’s attorneys’ fees.

(c)     Buyer and Seller will equally the bear the costs of any closing fee charged by the Title Company.

Section 2.4     Prorations.    Buyer shall be deemed to own the Property other than the Real Property as of 12:01 a.m. New York City time on the Possession Date and shall be responsible for any prorated obligations as of such time and date.

(a)     Real Estate taxes shall be prorated as of the Possession Date. As of the Possession Date, the Buyer shall be responsible for all charges as to the Property. With respect to the tax year in which Transfer of Possession occurs, the taxes and assessments for the Real Property will be apportioned on a daily basis, with Seller responsible for 1/365ths of such taxes for each day in the tax year prior to Transfer of Possession, and Buyer responsible for 1/365ths of such taxes for the day of Transfer of Possession and each day of the tax year thereafter. For the avoidance of doubt, the tax year in which Transfer of Possession occurs shall mean the tax year in which the taxes accrue, even though they do not become due and payable until the following year. For example, if the Transfer of Possession occurs on December 1, 2021, then Seller shall be responsible for 334/365 of the 2021 taxes payable in 2022. The provisions of this Section 2.4(a) shall survive Transfer of Possession. Buyer acknowledges that to the extent that Seller’s share of real estate taxes are not yet due and payable at Transfer of Possession, Buyer shall not receive a credit for such amount, but rather the Seller shall pay such tax installments when due as provided in the Land Contract.

(b)     Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to any security deposits held by or for the landlord in connection with the Ground Lease. Likewise, all pre-paid monetary obligations of Seller under the Ground Lease will be prorated on a per diem basis as of the Possession Date and added to the Purchase Price. Seller shall pay all rent under the Ground Lease that comes due and payable prior to the Possession Date. Likewise, but without double counting, all taxes due and payable by the tenant under the Ground Lease during the year in which Transfer of Possession occurs will be prorated on a daily basis as of the Possession Date, with Seller responsible for 1/365ths of such taxes for each day from January 1 of such year through and including the day before Transfer of Possession and Buyer responsible for 1/365ths of such taxes for each day from the day of Transfer of Possession through December 31 of such year; the necessary amount will be added to or deducted from the Purchase Price to reflect such allocation. Buyer acknowledges that to the extent that Seller’s share of real estate taxes are not yet due and payable at Transfer of Possession, Buyer shall not receive a credit for such amount, but rather the Seller shall pay such tax installments when due as provided in the Sublease.

(c)     All amounts payable under the Assumed Contracts shall be prorated as of the Transfer of Possession. Seller shall be responsible for all amounts payable under the Terminated Contracts.

Section 2.5     Tangible Property Statement.    Schedule 2.5 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules sets forth certain material Tangible Personal Property and the value ascribed to each item as of the date hereof (the “Tangible Property Statement”). No less than ten Business Days prior to the Possession Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to Buyer (a) an updated Tangible Property Statement as of the Possession Date, or (b) written confirmation that the Tangible Property Statement attached hereto as of the date hereof will be true, correct and complete as of the Possession Date. At least ten Business Days prior to the Possession Date, (i) Buyer shall have the opportunity to conduct a physical inventory of the material Tangible Personal Property on the Tangible Property Statement and (ii) Buyer shall provide written notice to Seller of any missing items on such statement based on Buyer’s inventory review. If Buyer does not conduct an inventory review, or if Buyer does not provide any such notice of missing items at least ten Business Days Prior to the Possession Date, the Tangible Property Statement as updated or confirmed by Seller shall be final and binding on the Parties. If a notice of missing items is provided pursuant to this Section 2.5 and if Seller cannot locate the missing items within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of Buyer’s notice, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the value ascribed to such missing item on the Tangible Property Statement as of the date hereof.

(e)     any Property or liability assumed by Buyer under Section 1.4 of this Agreement.

Section 4.4     Certain Limitations.    The liability of Buyer and Seller under the indemnification provided for in Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a)     Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 4.2(a) or its indemnity in the Assignment of Intangibles (as defined in Section 2.2) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of a breach of any representation or warranty under Section 4.2(a) exceeds $5,000,000.00 (the “Basket Amount”), in which event Seller shall be required to pay or be liable for such Losses above the Basket Amount. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate amount of all Losses for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 4.2 and its indemnity in the Assignment of Intangibles shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”) in the aggregate for all such Losses.

(b)     Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 4.3(a), until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of a breach of any representation or warranty under Section 4.3(a) exceeds $5,000,000.00, in which event Buyer shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses above the Basket Amount, but shall not exceed the Cap.

12

(c)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in Section 4.4(a) and Section 4.4(b) shall not apply to Losses based on actual fraud or any costs of enforcing this Agreement or the Land Contract or amounts owed under the Land Contract, and/or Seller’s liability or Buyer’s liability, as the case may be, in respect thereof shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

(d)     For purposes of determining the existence of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement, or in calculating the amount of any Losses incurred in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement, any and all references in this Agreement to “material” or “material adverse effect” or “Material Adverse Effect” (or other correlative or similar terms or qualifiers contained herein) shall be ignored and disregarded and treated as if they are not included in this Agreement.

(e)     With respect to Losses related to environmental response activities for which indemnification is provided to Seller by Buyer under this Agreement, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any available remedies to Seller related to environmental response activities under the 2017 Purchase Agreement but only if both (i) Buyer pays the cost of pursuing such rights and remedies and (ii) Seller in its reasonable judgement determines that it has a reasonable good faith basis to assert a claim or right. If Seller recovers under 2017 Purchase Agreement with respect to such indemnification obligations and with respect to environmental response activities, then Seller shall, at Buyer’s sole discretion, use such recovered amounts to satisfy its obligations under this Article IV, or pay Buyer any amounts Seller has recovered up to the amount due to Buyer under this Article IV. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller makes no representation or warranty regarding the existence or likelihood of success of any claim against AM General pursuant to the 2017 Purchase Agreement and discloses to Buyer that any assignment of rights under the 2017 Purchase Agreement by Seller may require the written consent of AM General pursuant to the terms of the 2017 Purchase Agreement.

(f)     No party shall have a right to make a claim for any Loss for contingent or inchoate claims and may claim only for a Loss that has, in fact, been paid or incurred.

(g)     Seller shall not be liable under this Article IV or otherwise under this Agreement or the Land Contract for any Losses based on or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement if any director, officer or employee of Buyer had knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Possession Date.

(h)     No party shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including business interruption, diminution of value, loss of future revenue, profits or income, or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement and, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise.

(i)     For the purposes of this Agreement, “Losses” means losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the cost of enforcing any right to indemnification hereunder and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers. “Affiliate” means, with respect to any party, any other person who, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such party, including, without limitation, any general partner, managing member, officer, director or trustee of such party.

(j)     Indemnification procedures.

(1)     If any indemnified party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such indemnified party with respect to which the indemnifying party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party shall give the indemnifying party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the indemnifying party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the indemnified party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the indemnified party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at

13

the indemnifying party’s expense and by the indemnifying party’s own counsel, and the indemnified party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to subsection (2) below, it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the indemnified party. The indemnified party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the indemnifying party’s right to control the defense thereof. If the indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the indemnified party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the indemnified party may, subject to subsection (2) below, pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(2)     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as provided in this subsection (2). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the indemnified party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the indemnifying party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the indemnifying party shall give written notice to that effect to the indemnified party. If the indemnified party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the indemnified party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the indemnifying party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the indemnified party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the indemnifying party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the indemnified party has assumed the defense pursuant to subsection (1) above, it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(3)     Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the indemnified party giving the indemnifying party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the indemnifying party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the indemnified party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 30-day period, the indemnified party shall allow the indemnifying party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the indemnified party shall assist the indemnifying party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the indemnified party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the indemnifying party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the indemnifying party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the indemnifying party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the indemnified party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the indemnified party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 4.5     Buyer Waiver and Release to Environmental Matters.    Buyer waives and releases Seller and its Affiliates and representatives from all any and all claims, causes of action, demands, and rights of recovery, of whatever nature, for damages, loss or injury arising from or relating to the presence of any environmental contamination or other materials or substances deeded to be hazardous under applicable environmental law that are or may be present, at, on, under or from the Real Property and/or the Leased Real Property.

Section 4.6     Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.    All indemnification payments made (or deemed to be made) with respect to any claim pursuant to Article IV shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for tax purposes, unless otherwise required by law.

Article V
RISK OF LOSS

Section 5.1     Risk of Loss Prior to Transfer of Possession.    In the event of a casualty or condemnation at the Property prior to the Transfer of Possession, Buyer shall be bound to purchase the Real Property for the full Purchase Price as required by the terms hereof, without regard to the occurrence or effect of any damage to the Property or destruction of any improvements thereon or condemnation of any portion of the Property, provided that, (a) in the case of a condemnation of Real Property only, the diminution in the value of the remaining Property as a result of a partial threatened or completed condemnation is not material (as hereinafter defined) and (b) there shall be a credit at Transfer of Possession against the Purchase Price due hereunder equal to the amount of any condemnation awards actually collected by Seller as a result of any such condemnation, less the amount of any sums expended by Seller (in its sole discretion and option) toward the collection of such awards. If the awards have not been collected as of Transfer of Possession, then such awards shall be assigned to Buyer, except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums expended to collect such awards, and Seller shall retain the rights to such awards to such extent.

Section 5.2     Material Condemnation.    If the diminution in the value of the remaining Real Property as a result of a condemnation is material (as hereinafter defined), then Buyer may, at its option to be exercised within five (5) days of the commencement of condemnation proceedings, either terminate this Agreement or elect to continue this Agreement unchanged and in full force and effect. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller or fails to give Seller notice within such five (5) day period that Buyer elects to continue this Agreement unchanged and full force and effect, then this Agreement shall terminate, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for any unperformed obligations as of such termination and any obligations stated in this Agreement to survive its expiration or termination. If Buyer elects not to terminate this Agreement, then upon Transfer of Possession there shall be a credit against the Purchase Price due hereunder equal to the amount of any condemnation awards collected by Seller as a result of any such condemnation, less the amount of any sums expended by Seller (in its sole discretion and option) toward the collection of such awards. If the awards have not been collected as of Transfer of Possession, then such awards shall be assigned to Buyer, except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums expended (in its sole discretion and option) to collect such awards, and Seller shall retain the rights to such awards to such extent. A condemnation shall be deemed “material” if as a result of the condemnation or if reasonably likely in a pending proceeding, any portion or area is condemned which would cause the Real Property to be in violation of any then existing zoning ordinances preventing the use of the Real Property for the manufacturing of vehicles that cannot reasonably be cured by Buyer at a cost of 20% of Purchase Price or less.

Article VI
COVENANTS

Section 6.1     Maintenance of Improvements and Operation of Property; Removal of Tangible Personal Property.    Seller agrees to keep its customary property insurance covering the Property in effect until the Transfer of Possession (provided, however, that the terms of any such coverage maintained in blanket form may be modified as Seller deems necessary). Until the Transfer of Possession, Seller shall maintain all Improvements substantially in their present condition (ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted), and shall operate and manage the Property in a manner consistent with Seller’s practices in effect prior to the Execution Date and in compliance in all material respect with all laws applicable to the ownership and use of the Property, provided

15

that Seller shall in no event be obligated to make any capital expenditures or repairs. Seller shall not enter into any new Service Contracts or other agreement affecting the Property which will be binding on the Property after Transfer of Possession except with respect to a Service Contract or other agreement affecting the Property, which is terminable on no more than thirty (30) days’ notice without payment of any penalty or fee or other cost to Seller. Prior to the Transfer of Possession, Seller shall not remove any Tangible Personal Property, except as may be required for necessary repair or replacement or in the ordinary course of business, and replacement shall be of approximately equal quality and quantity as the removed item of Tangible Personal Property. From and after the Execution Date, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of (a) any fact, circumstance, event or action the existence or occurrence of which (i) has had, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect to the ability of Seller to consummate the Transfer of Possession on a timely basis (together “Material Adverse Effect”), (ii) has resulted in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Article II to be satisfied, or (b) any notice from any governmental authority (I) challenging the transaction contemplated herein, or (II) regarding a material violation of law affecting the Property.

Section 6.2     Title Insurance.    As of the Possession Date, Buyer may purchase (at Buyer’s expense) a vendee’s title insurance policy with respect to the Real Property, issued by a Chicago Title, written as of the Possession Date, insuring Buyer in the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to the Real Property and together with such endorsements, and otherwise in such form, as Buyer shall require (and insuring over or removing such so-called “Schedule B-II Exceptions” as Buyer, the Title Company and surveyor may agree are not applicable to the Real Property). However, for the purposes of this Agreement, including the covenants and Transfer of Possession conditions set forth herein, the term “Title Policy” shall mean only a base vendee’s policy of title insurance issued by the Title Company, in the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to the Real Property, insuring vendee’s interest in the Real Property and leasehold title to the Subleased Real Property, subject to customary matters that do not have a Material Adverse Effect on the use of the Property as contemplated hereby, all easements and restrictions of record, and all matters that would be disclosed on an accurate ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Buyer shall accept the Title Policy so long as it is consistent with Seller’s existing owner’s policy of the insurance issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company dated November 2, 2017, Policy Number 519502, in the amount of $83,308,791 (the “Existing Policy”). Specifically, if the Title Policy contains no new exceptions on Schedule B other than those caused by this transaction, including the Land Contract and associated Memorandum of Land Contract and the Sublease, and if the only other revisions to it are the amount of the coverage, the date, the policy amount, the name of the insured and the fact that it is a land contract vendee policy (as opposed to an owner’s policy) then Buyer must accept the Title Policy without objection.

Section 6.3     Conditions to Transfer of Possession.    From the Execution Date until the Transfer of Possession, each Party hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are necessary to expeditiously satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Article VII hereof, except in the case where a conflicting efforts standard is expressly set forth herein, in which case such standard shall control.

Section 6.4     Governmental Approvals and Consents.

(a)     Buyer and Seller shall, as promptly as possible and in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, (i) make, or cause or be made, all filings and submissions required under any law or regulation applicable to such party or any of its affiliates including such filings as may be required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”); and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all consents, authorizations, orders and approvals from all Governmental Authorities and to cause all applicable waiting periods to expire or be terminated that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement including such filings as may be required under the HSR Act. Each party shall cooperate fully with the other parties and their respective affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, orders and approvals.

(2)     in the event any Governmental Order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been issued, to have such Governmental Order vacated or lifted.

(c)     All analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals made by or on behalf of any party before any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any interactions between a party and a Governmental Authority in the ordinary course of business, any disclosure which is not permitted by law or any disclosure containing confidential information) shall be disclosed to each other party hereunder in advance of any filing, submission or attendance, it being the intent that the parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of the other, in connection with any such analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals. Each party shall give notice to the other parties with respect to any meeting, discussion, appearance or contact with any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority solely with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, not including any interactions between a party and any Governmental Authority in the ordinary course of business), with such notice being sufficient to provide each other Party with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion, appearance or contact; provided, however, that if notice prior to any such meeting, discussion, appearance or contact is not practicable or if attendance or participation in any such meeting, discussion, appearance or contact is not advisable (in the reasonable determination of the party so attending or participating), the applicable Party shall promptly inform the other parties of any such interaction after it has occurred.

(d)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.4 shall require, or be construed to require, any party or any of its respective affiliates to agree to (i) sell, hold, divest, discontinue or limit, before or after the Possession Date, any assets, businesses or interests of such party or any of its affiliates; (ii) any conditions relating to, or changes or restrictions in, the operations of any such assets, businesses or interests which, in either case, could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely impact the economic or business benefits to Buyer or Seller of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) any material modification or waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or agreements contemplated by this Agreement.

(e)     Buyer shall be responsible for all filing and other similar fees payable in connection with any filings under the HSR Act.

(f)     For purposes of this Agreement “Governmental Authority” means any federal, state, local or foreign government or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality of such government or political subdivision, or any self-regulated organization or other non-governmental regulatory authority or quasi-governmental authority (to the extent that the rules, regulations or orders of such organization or authority have the force of Law), or any arbitrator, court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction. For purpose of this Agreement, “Governmental Order” means any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, stipulation, determination or award entered by or with any Governmental Authority.

Section 6.5     Bulk Sales Laws.    The Parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Property to Buyer it being understood that any liabilities arising out of the failure of Seller to comply with the requirements and provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar laws of any jurisdiction shall be the responsibility of Seller.

Section 6.6     Landlord Estoppel and Consent.    Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to request and endeavor to obtain from the landlord under the Ground Lease: (a) confirmation that Seller is not in default under the Ground Lease and that the Ground Lease is in full force and effect; and (b) written consent to the Sublease and to the subsequent assignment and assumption of the Ground Lease from Seller to Buyer if and upon payment in full of the Land Contract as provided therein (“Landlord Consent”).

Section 6.7     Non-Union Employee Matters.

(a)     Buyer shall offer all of the non-union Property Employees at will employment with Buyer to commence as soon as practicable but no later than the Possession Date (the “Employee Transfer Date”) with wages, salaries and other benefits substantially similar to the wages, salaries and other benefits provided by Seller to such

17

employee as of the Execution Date. Each Property Employee that accepts Buyer’s offer of employment is referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee”. All such offers of employment shall contain an acknowledgement that by accepting such offer, such Property Employee is resigning his or her position with Seller effective as of the Employee Transfer Date. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate Buyer’s hiring of such Transferred Employees.

(b)     Each Transferred Employee shall receive credit for all service accrued or deemed accrued prior to the Employee Transfer Date with the Seller for purposes of participation in any plan, program, policy, practice, contract, agreement or other material arrangement providing for compensation, severance, termination pay, deferred compensation, performance awards, fringe benefits or other employee benefits or remuneration of any kind, whether written, unwritten or otherwise, funded or unfunded, including each “employee benefit plan,” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is or will be maintained, contributed to, or required to he contributed to, by Buyer or any ERISA affiliate of Buyer for the benefit of any Transferred Employee, or with respect to which Buyer or any ERISA Affiliate of Buyer may have any liability or obligation to any Transferred Employee (each, a “Buyer Plan”); provided, however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit or the funding of any such benefit. Each such Buyer Plan that provides health benefits to Transferred Employees shall waive pre-existing condition limitations with respect to the Transferred Employees to the same extent waived under the applicable group health plan of the Seller maintained prior to the Employee Transfer Date, and each Transferred Employee shall he given credit for amounts paid under the corresponding group health plan of the Seller during the plan year in which the Employee Transfer Date occurs for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums for such plan year.

(c)     Nothing contained herein, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Property Employee any rights to continued employment by Seller for any period by reason of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Property Employee any rights to be hired by Buyer or to have continuing employment with Buyer for any period by reason of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein is intended to confer upon any Property Employee any particular term or condition of employment.

(d)     Seller and Buyer shall follow the “standard procedure” for preparing and filing Internal Revenue Service Forms W-2 (Wage and Tax Statements), as described in Revenue Procedure 2004-53 for the Transferred Employees.

Section 6.8     Certain Tax Matters.     U.S. federal and applicable state and local tax purposes, (i) the sale and purchase of the Property shall be treated as an installment sale under Section 453 of the Code and (ii) none of the common stock of Forum Merger III received by Seller pursuant to the Subscription Agreement shall be treated as part of the Purchase Price under this Agreement.

(a)     Seller and Buyer agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, information and assistance relating to the Property, including access to books and records, as is reasonably necessary in connection with the preparation or filing of any tax return by Buyer or Seller.

(b)     All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other similar taxes and fees (including any additions thereto, penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other transaction documents (including any real property transfer tax and any other similar tax) (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid by Buyer when due. All necessary documentation and tax returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed by the party required under applicable law to file such tax returns. If required by applicable law, Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate in preparing and filing, and join in the execution of, any such tax returns. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in providing each other with any appropriate certification and other similar documentation relating to exemption from Transfer Taxes (including any appropriate resale exemption certifications), as provided under applicable law.

Section 6.9     Bargaining Unit Employees.    Buyer acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to Article I, Section 4 of that certain Agreement between Seller and International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW) and its local Union #5, dated March 11, 2018, as amended (the “Union Agreement”), Buyer shall recognize the Union and accept the terms and conditions of the Union Agreement and assume all obligations therein, including, but not limited to, any contractual recall rights maintained by currently furloughed employees of Seller. The employees at the Property shall be employed by Buyer at Transfer of Possession with the salary, insurance and welfare at the rates and in the amounts equal to or greater than the benefit levels as of the

18

Execution Date. Seller will notify the Union of this provision prior to closing and engage in any good faith bargaining over the termination of its agreement with the Union and the effects of the sale which may be legally required under the circumstances. Seller acknowledges Buyer may seek to discuss certain wage and benefit improvements to the terms and conditions of the agreement with the Union prior to closing and agrees to provide its reasonable cooperation to the Buyer in this process.

Section 6.10     Service Contracts.    Prior to the Possession Date, Buyer will advise Seller in writing which Service Contracts that Buyer will assume (collectively, the “Assumed Contracts”), and which Service Contracts Buyer requests be terminated at Transfer of Possession (collectively, the “Terminated Contracts”). To the extent that the effective date of termination of a Terminated Contract extends past the Possession Date, Buyer shall assume such Terminated Contract until the effective date of termination. From and after the Possession Date, Buyer shall be responsible for any charges for the Assumed Contracts and the Terminated Contracts whose effective date of termination extends past the Possession Date. Failure of Buyer to timely notify Seller of which Service Contracts Buyer is electing to terminate shall be deemed an election by Buyer to assume all of the Service Contracts to the extent assignable without the need for consents. All amounts payable under the Assumed Contracts shall be prorated as of the Possession Date. Buyer shall be responsible for, and shall reimburse Seller if applicable, any termination fees, cancellation fees, penalties or similar payments incurred to discontinue the Terminated Contracts, regardless of whether the effective date of such termination takes place prior to or after the Possession Date.

Section 6.11     Letter of Credit . Buyer shall cause Bank (as defined below) to deliver to Seller, prior to Transfer of Possession, a standby letter of credit naming Seller as beneficiary (the “Letter of Credit”) that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Section 6.11 in the same amount as the Promissory Note (the “LOC Amount”). The Letter of Credit shall (a) be issued by Bank; (b) in form and substance approved by Seller (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit I); (c) be irrevocable, unconditional and payable upon demand; (d) be maintained in effect until September 30, 2023 (“LOC Expiration Date”); (e) contain a provision that provides that, in the event that the Maturity Date under the Promissory Date is extended or delayed for any reason, the Letter of Credit shall be automatically extended to no less than sixty (60) days following such extended or delayed Maturity Date ; (f) be fully assignable by Seller, its successors and assigns; (g) permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings; and in the event of default, Seller is entitled to draw balance of the LOC Amount. Subject to Seller’s confirmation (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) that Buyer has partially fulfilled its obligation to make installment payments pursuant to the Promissory Note, Bank may, by issuance of amended Letter of Credit to Seller, reduce the LOC Amount accordingly following Bank’s standard procedures, provided, however, that at no time shall the LOC Amount be reduced below an amount equal to the outstanding unpaid principal and interest balance under the Promissory Note. Buyer shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred in obtaining the Letter of Credit. The term “Bank” shall mean JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.

Section 6.12     Further Assurances.    Following the Transfer of Possession, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transaction contemplated hereunder, and the other transaction documents. In furtherance, and not limitation, of the foregoing, if Buyer and Seller mutually agree that certain transition services are necessary and appropriate for Buyer’s short-term use and operation of the Property, Buyer and Seller shall use good faith efforts to enter into a mutually agreeable transition services arrangement, providing for certain services for the periods and on the terms and conditions as mutually agreed by the Parties; provided, however, that entering into such transition services arrangement shall not be a condition to Transfer of Possession.

Section 6.13     Shares of Forum Merger III.    Seller has and will continue through Transfer of Possession to provide Buyer with strategic and consulting services and as compensation therefor. Buyer will instruct Forum Merger III (as defined below) to, under the Merger Agreement (as defined below), deliver 5,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (the “Forum Merger III Shares”) to Seller at or prior to Transfer of Possession. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this agreement, Seller and Buyer each acknowledge and agree that such shares of Parent Common Stock are not being received as consideration for the Property or any other assets transferred to Buyer from Seller and are solely compensation for such services provided by Seller and that Seller and Buyer shall not take any position contrary thereto. As a condition to receipt of such shares, Seller shall deliver to Forum Merger III and Buyer a duly completed investor suitability questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit J.

WITNESSETH, that the parties agree as follows:

Vendor hereby sells to Purchaser, and Purchaser hereby purchases from Vendor, subject to the terms, covenants and conditions set forth herein, the following property: certain real property generally located at 12900 McKinley Highway, Mishawaka, Indiana, further described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Land”), together with (1) all buildings, improvements and fixtures located thereon (collectively, the “Improvements”), (2) all rights, benefits, privileges, easements, tenements, hereditaments, rights-of-way and other appurtenances thereon or in any way appertaining thereto, including all mineral rights, development rights, air and water rights, and (3) all strips and gores and any land lying in the bed of any street, road or alley, open or proposed, adjoining such Land (collectively, the “Real Property”).

1.      Purchase Price and Manner of Payment.

1.1.   Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for the Real Property shall be the sum of Ninety Million and 00/100 Dollars ($90,000,000.00) (“Purchase Price”), which Purchaser agrees to pay Vendor in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Contract, without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and with reasonable attorneys’ fees after and Event of Default (as defined below) and referral to an attorney for collection.

1.2.   Manner of Payment. The Purchase Price shall be paid in the following manner:

1.2.1.   The sum of Eighteen Million Six Hundred Twenty Thousand Six Hundred Eighty-Nine and 66/100 Dollars ($18,620,689.66) is herewith paid in cash on the date hereof in connection with turning over the possession of Real Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Possession Date”) as set out in that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale between Vendor and Purchaser dated as of ______________, 2021 (“Purchase Agreement”).

1.2.2.   The remainder of the Purchase Price in the amount of Seventy-One Million Three Hundred Seventy-Nine Thousand Three Hundred Ten and 34/100 Dollars ($71,379,310.34) (such amount plus any Delinquent Interest referred to as the “Contract Balance”) shall be paid by Purchaser to the order of Vendor in twenty-three (23) consecutive monthly installments of Three Million One Hundred Three Thousand Four Hundred Forty-Eight and 28/100 Dollars ($3,103.448.28) (each, a “Monthly Payment”), with the first Monthly Payment being due and payable on _____________ , 2021(the last day of the calendar month in which the Transfer of Possession Date occurs), and each successive Monthly Payment being made on later than the last day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter (each a “Payment Date”) until Vendor receives the entire Purchase Price.

1.2.3.   Purchaser’s obligation to pay the Contract Balance, including the Monthly Payments on the Payment Dates are independent covenants without offset, counterclaim, defense, presentment, notice or demand, at such address or bank account(s) as Vendor may direct by written notice. There shall be no prepayment penalty for payments made before the applicable Payment Date and such prepayment amount shall reduce the Purchase Price, provided that any partial prepayment shall not act to reduce or delay the next Monthly Payment, but rather shall be applied to the Contract balance in inverse order of maturity of the Monthly Payments.

1.2.4.   Purchaser hereby acknowledges that late payment of any Monthly Payment will cause Vendor to incur costs not contemplated hereunder, the exact amount of which is presently anticipated to be extremely difficult to ascertain. If Vendor does not receive the applicable Monthly Payment on the applicable Payment Date, and Purchaser fails to cure such nonpayment within five (5) days following receipt of written notice from Vendor, Purchaser will pay Vendor a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the Monthly Payment, plus interest at the Default Rate (as defined in Section 11) and subject to other rights and remedies provided herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to appeal any tax bill so long as Purchaser does not cause any delinquency in payment of the same or penalties to accrue as a result of the same.

3.      Insurance.

3.1.   Coverages. At all times during the term of this Contract, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, Purchaser shall obtain and keep in force for the benefit of Purchaser and Vendor the following insurance:

3.1.1.   Property Insurance. Special causes of loss/special form property insurance (formerly known as “all risk” or “extended coverage” property insurance), earthquake insurance, and flood insurance on all Improvements and all of Purchaser’s personal property located on, in or about the Real Property. The amount of such insurance shall be the Full Insurable Replacement Value (as defined below). Each such policy shall specify that proceeds shall be payable whether or not any improvements are actually rebuilt. Each such policy shall include an endorsement protecting the named and additional insureds against becoming a co-insured under the policy. Purchaser hereby releases and waives as against Vendor and its shareholders and employees any and all claims, causes of action, demands, and rights of recovery, of whatever nature, for damages, loss or injury to the Improvements and/or the property of Purchaser in, upon or about the Real Property caused by or resulting from fire and/or any other perils required to be insured against by Purchaser hereunder, whether or not such damages, loss or injury is caused by the fault or negligence of Vendor or its shareholders or employees.

3.1.5.   Commercial General Liability Insurance. Commercial general liability insurance through one or more primary and umbrella liability policies against claims, including but not limited to, bodily injury and property damage occurring in, on or about the Real Property, with such limits as may be reasonably required by Vendor from time to time, but in any event not less than $10,000,000, combined single limit and annual aggregate, which Purchaser shall increase as necessary during the term of this Contract to maintain adequate coverage over time that is comparable to the requirements in effect as of the execution of this Contract. Such insurance shall insure the performance by Purchaser of the indemnity agreements contained in this Contract. If any governmental agency or department requires insurance or bonds with respect to any proposed or actual use, storage, treatment or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Purchaser, Purchaser shall be responsible for such insurance and bonds and shall pay all premiums and charges connected therewith; provided, however, that this provision shall not and shall not be deemed to modify the provisions of this Section 3.

Such insurance shall insure against any and all claims for bodily injury, including death, resulting therefrom, and damage to or destruction of property of any kind whatsoever and to whomever belonging and arising from Purchaser’s operations at the Real Property and whether such operations are performed by Purchaser or any of its contractors, subcontractors, or by any other person (with the exception of damage or injury caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Vendor occurring after the Execution Date or any other person or party acting by or on behalf of Vendor).

3.1.6.   Other. All other insurance that Purchaser is required to maintain under all applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations of any U.S and State of Indiana governmental authority having jurisdiction thereof.

No such policy shall contain any provisions for exclusions from liability and no exclusion shall be permitted in any event if it conflicts with any coverage required hereby, and, in addition, no such policy shall contain any exclusion from liability for bodily injury or sickness, disease or death or which in any way impairs coverage under the contractual liability coverage described above.

3.2.3.   No approval by Vendor of any insurer, or the terms or conditions of any policy, or any coverage or amount of insurance, or any deductible amount shall be construed as a representation, warranty or other assurance by Vendor of the solvency of the insurer or the sufficiency of any policy or any coverage or amount of insurance or deductible, and Purchaser assumes full risk and responsibility for any inadequacy of insurance coverage or any failure of insurers.

3.2.4.   Should Purchaser fail to take out and keep in force each insurance policy required under this Section 3, or should such insurance not be reasonably approved by Vendor and should Purchaser not rectify the situation within ten (10) business days after written notice from Vendor to Purchaser, Vendor shall have the right, without assuming any obligation in connection therewith, to purchase such insurance at the sole cost of Purchaser, and all costs incurred by Vendor shall be payable to Vendor by Purchaser within ten (10) days after demand and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of Vendor under this Contract.

3.2.5    If the Improvements or any part thereof are damaged by casualty the entire insurance proceeds payable in respect of the part so taken or damaged are hereby assigned to and shall be paid directly to Vendor for the sole purpose of making the same available for Purchaser to restore the Improvements to as nearly the same condition as existed prior to such casualty so long as (i) no outstanding Event of Default exists hereunder, and (ii) sufficient insurance proceeds are available to Purchaser to completely restore the Improvements to its condition immediately preceding said loss, or if sufficient insurance proceeds are not available, Purchaser deposits with Vendor sufficient additional cash to make up for any such deficiency of insurance proceeds, (iii) the Improvements can be restored on the Real Property in compliance with applicable law (including zoning ordinances), (iv) the loss occurs at a time which is greater than three (3) months prior to the due date of the final Monthly Payment, and (iv) at Vendor’s option, such insurance proceeds shall be held by Vendor in a non-interest bearing account disbursed by Vendor with final disbursement being made only at such time as the restoration is completed in a good and workmanlike manner, lien free, a certificate of occupancy for the restored Improvements has been issued by the appropriate governmental authority (if available). Vendor shall not be responsible for conducting any of such restoration work. If the foregoing requirements are not met, or if the insurance proceeds exceeds the cost of reconstruction, restoration or repair, the insurance proceeds, or the excess insurance proceeds, as the case may be, shall be applied to the payment of the Contract Balance. The event of casualty shall in no case relieve Purchaser from continuing to pay each full Monthly Payment when due until the Contract Balance is satisfied in full from such payments and application of the insurance proceeds.

3.3.   Purchaser’s Responsibility for Accidents. Purchaser hereby assumes all risk and responsibility for accident, injury or damage to person and property arising from Purchaser’s use and control of the Real Property and the Improvements thereon except for accidents, injury or damage caused by or arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct occurring after the Execution Date of Vendor or any party acting through or on behalf of Vendor and not covered by insurance required to be maintained by Purchaser hereunder. Purchaser shall insure such risk by carrying standard commercial general liability insurance, in such amounts as are satisfactory to Vendor, insuring the Vendor’s liability as well as the Purchaser’s, pursuant to this Section 3.

If the Real Property or any part thereof is taken or damaged pursuant to an exercise or threat of exercise of the power of eminent domain, the entire proceeds of the award or compensation payable in respect of the part so taken or damaged are hereby assigned to and shall be paid directly to Vendor. Such proceeds shall be applied, at Vendor’s option and without premium, in part or entirely as a prepayment of the Contract Balance or to restoration of the Real Property; provided, however, that if by electing to apply part of any such award or compensation against the Contract Balance, the Contract Balance shall be recalculated and the Monthly Payment amount shall be reduced to amortize the recalculated Contract Balance over the remaining term of this Contract. If the Contract Balance is paid in full, then Vendor shall pay the balance of the proceeds of the award to Purchaser.

This indemnification shall not include any matter for which the Vendor is effectively protected by insurance.

11.3. Lease, sublease or encumbrance of the Real Property or any part thereof, or the making of any levy, seizure or attachment thereof or thereon or a substantial, uninsured loss of any part of the Real Property.

Ex-C-7

11.5. Any part of Real Property or all or a substantial part of the property or assets of Purchaser is placed in the hands of any receiver, trustee or other officers or representatives of any court, or Purchaser consents, agrees or acquiesces to the appointment of any such receiver or trustee.

11.8. Sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of Purchaser’s interest in this Contract or Purchaser’s interest in any of the Real Property, or any part thereof, without Vendor’s prior written consent and without paying the Purchase Price in full.

12.    Land Contract Forfeiture. Purchaser acknowledges that it has only acquired a vendee’s interest in the Real Property and that Vendor is retaining fee simple title in the same to secure payment of the Contract Balance. In the event Purchaser commits an Event of Default as defined above, including without limitation fails to pay the Contract Balance when due, deserts or abandons the Real Property or commits any breach of this Contract which materially diminishes the security intended to be given to Vendor under and by virtue of this Contract, then, it is expressly agreed by Purchaser that Vendor may, at Vendor’s option and in its sole discretion in lieu of foreclosure set forth in Section 13 below, cancel this Contract and take possession of the Real Property and remove Purchaser therefrom, or those holding or claiming under Purchaser without any demand and to the full extent permitted by applicable law. In the event of Vendor’s cancellation upon such default by Purchaser, all rights and demands of Purchaser under this Contract and in and to the Real Property shall cease and terminate and Purchaser shall have no further right, title or interest, legal or equitable, in and to the Real Property, or any portion thereof, and Vendor shall have the right to retain all amounts paid by Purchaser toward the Purchase Price as an agreed payment for Purchaser’s possession and use of the Real Property prior to such default. Such retention shall not bar Vendor’s right to recover damages for unlawful detention of the Real Property after default, for any failure to pay taxes, insurance or other amounts owing as a result Purchaser’s possession of the Real Property, for failure to maintain the Real Property at any time, for waste committed thereon or for any other damages suffered by Vendor, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Vendor in enforcing any right hereunder or in removing any encumbrance on the Real Property made or suffered by Purchaser. In the event of Vendor’s cancellation of this Contract upon default by Purchaser, Purchaser shall surrender and vacate the Real Property immediately and deliver exclusive possession thereof to Vendor in as clean, good and tenantable condition as existed on the Execution Date, ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted, and free of any Hazardous Material (a) discharged, disposed of or released by Purchaser or any of its agents, employees, contractors, vendors, suppliers, licensees, customers, or invitees or (b) otherwise resulting from Purchaser’s operations at the Property. All alterations, additions and improvements made or added to the Real Property by or on behalf of Purchaser shall, at Vendor’s option, be deemed part of the Real Property and surrendered to Vendor lien free upon such termination without compensation to Purchaser. Any alterations, additions or improvements that Vendor does not elect to have surrendered with the Real Property, together with any personal property of the Purchaser, shall be removed by Purchaser as soon as practicable following Vendor’s cancellation of this Contract, and Purchaser shall repair all damage to the Real Property resulting from such removal. Any personal property of Purchaser than remains on the premises of the Real Property after thirty (30) days following Vendor’s cancellation of this Contract shall be deemed abandoned by Purchaser, or at Vendor’s option, Vendor may store or remove the personal property at the risk, cost and expense of Purchaser and Vendor shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof.

All of Vendor’s remedies under this Section 12 and Sections 13 through 16 shall be cumulative and not exclusive and shall include the right to appoint a receiver in the Event of Default, to foreclose on Purchaser’s interest under

Ex-C-8

foreclosure laws and collect all attorneys’ fees in the enforcement of this Contract. Failure of Vendor to exercise any remedy at any time shall not operate as a waiver of the right of Vendor to exercise any remedy for the same or any subsequent default at any time thereafter.

13.    Mortgage Foreclosure. As an alternative remedy to Vendor in the Event of Default which may be pursued simultaneously with the institution of the Land Contract forfeiture procedures in Section 12, Vendor, in its sole and absolute discretion, may foreclose on this Contract under Indiana mortgage foreclosure laws as a real estate mortgage. Purchaser hereby mortgages, warrants, and grants a security in the Real Property to Vendor to secure all Obligations. Upon an Event of Default, Vendor:

13.1  may, to the extent permitted by law, either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, enter upon and take possession of the Real Property, or any part thereof, in its own name, and do any acts which it deems necessary or desirable to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of the Real Property or part thereof or interest therein, increase the income therefrom or protect the security hereof and, with or without taking possession of the Real Property, sue for or otherwise collect the rents, issues and profits thereof, including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same to its costs and expenses and then to the Contract Balance and all amounts due under the Contract Documents. The entering upon and taking possession of the Real Property, the collection of such rents, issues and profits and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done in response to such default or pursuant to such notice of default and notwithstanding the continuance in possession of the Real Property or the collection, receipt and application of rents, issues or profits, Vendor shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in any of the Contract Documents or by law upon occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder.

13.2  may commence an action to foreclose this Contract as an Indiana mortgage, appoint a receiver, or specifically enforce any of the covenants hereof and to take all such other actions permitted by applicable law.

13.3  may exercise any or all of the remedies available to a secured party under the Indiana Uniform Commercial Code to the extent applicable to the Real Property.

13.4  may collect all expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Vendor in connection with the foreclosure of this Contract for attorneys’ fees, appraisers’ fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers’ charges, publication costs and cost of procuring all environmental assessments and all title searches, policies and examinations and similar data and assurances with respect to title and the environmental condition of the Real Property as Vendor reasonably may deem necessary to prosecute such suit shall constitute advancements, shall be immediately due and payable by Purchaser, with Default Interest, and shall be allowed and included as indebtedness in the judgment for sale and part of the Obligations.

13.5  recover a deficiency from Purchaser to the extent the mortgage foreclosure sale fails to pay the Obligations in full in accordance with Indiana law.

14.    Foreclosure Proceedings and Receiver. Upon the commencement of any proceedings to forfeit or foreclose this Contract, Vendor shall be entitled forthwith to the appointment of a receiver or receivers, as a matter of right, without the giving of notice to any other party, without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of any security for the Contract Balance and without the requirement of any bond, and Purchaser hereby consents to such appointment. Vendor shall be entitled to recover judgment either before or after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of this Contract. The right of Vendor to recover such judgment shall not be affected by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of this Contract, or the foreclosure of the lien of this Contract.

15.    Assignment of Leases and Rents. As additional security for the repayment of the Contract Balance or other indebtedness hereby secured, Purchaser assigns to Vendor its entire interest, as lessor, in all present and future leases, all rentals and other income from the Real Property and all licenses, permits, agreements or contracts pertaining to the Real Property. This assignment shall not be construed as a consent by Vendor to any such lease, license, permit, agreement or contract hereby assigned nor impose upon Vendor any obligations with respect thereto since it is given as collateral security only. In the Event of a Default, Purchaser shall, upon demand therefor made by Vendor, surrender possession of the Real Property to Vendor, its duly constituted agents, or to a duly appointed receiver who may thereafter take possession and assume the management of the Real Property and collect the rentals and other income therefrom, rent or lease the Real Property or any portion thereof, upon such terms and for such time as it may deem

Ex-C-9

best, terminate any tenancy and maintain proceedings to recover possession of the Real Property from any tenant or trespasser, and apply the net proceeds of such rent and income to the following purposes and in the following order: (a) preservation and management of the Real Property; (b) payment of taxes; (c) payment of insurance premiums; and (d) payment of the Contract Balance and any amounts due under the Contract Documents. Vendor, its duly constituted agent, or duly appointed receiver, as applicable, shall be liable to account only for those rents actually received.

16.    Intentionally Omitted.

17.    Interpretation of Contract. The article, section and other headings of this Contract are for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning of any provision contained herein.

The term “person” shall include any individual, partnership, joint venture, corporation, trust, unincorporated association, any other entity and any government or any department or agency thereof, whether acting in an individual, fiduciary or other capacity.

[$43,620,689.66]

 

Effective Date: _________, 2021

Maturity Date: _________, 20231

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ELECTRIC LAST MILE, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of SF MOTORS, INC., DBA SERES, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Lender”), in lawful money of the United States of America, at the Lender’s principal office or at such other place or to such other party as the Lender may from time to time designate by written notice, the principal sum of FORTY-THREE MILLION SIX HUNDRED TWENTY THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED EIGHTY-NINE and 66/100 Dollars ($43,620,689.66) and to pay interest as hereinafter provided as follows:

(a)     From the Effective Date through and including the Maturity Date Borrower shall pay interest on the principal balance of this Note at a fixed per annum rate of interest equal to eleven (11) basis points (0.11%) (“Interest Rate”). All interest under this Note shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days.

(b)    Borrower shall repay the principal of and interest on this Note as follows: (i) ONE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED NINETY-SIX THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY-ONE AND 72/100 DOLLARS ($1,896,551.72) on ____, 2021 [the last day of the calendar month in which this Note is issued]; (ii) ELEVEN MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED NINETY-SIX THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY-ONE DOLLARS AND 72/100 DOLLARS ($11,896,551.72) on ____, 2021 [the last day of the month following the calendar month in which this Note is issued]; and (iii) the balance of the principal and interest on this Note in twenty-one (21) equal monthly installments of ONE MILLION FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED SIXTY-ONE AND 25/100 Dollars ($1,420,361.25) commencing __________, 2021 and on the last Day of each monthly period thereafter through and including the month in which the Maturity Date occurs. On the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration, demand or otherwise, the unpaid balance of principal of this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, and all other charges (including, without limitation, late charges, costs and expenses of collection and reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be due and payable in full.

(c)     Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, and after maturity, including maturity by acceleration, Lender, at its option, may do one or both of the following: (i) increase the interest rate under this Note to the rate that is twelve percent (12.0%) per annum, and (ii) add any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such sum will bear interest therefrom until paid at the rate provided in this Note (including any increased rate). The Interest Rate of this Note will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law under any circumstances.

(d)    If Borrower fails to pay any amount due hereunder, or any fee in connection herewith, in full within ten (10) days after its due date, Borrower, in each case, shall incur and shall pay a late charge equal to Five Percent (5%) of the unpaid amount and an additional late charge for purposes of defraying the expense incidental to handling on the first day of each successive calendar month equal to Five Percent (5%) of the unpaid amount until such amount has been paid in full. After acceleration of repayment of this Note by the Lender, the payment of a late charge will not cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default under this Note.

All amounts payable by Borrower to the Lender under this Note shall be without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and with attorneys’ fees and costs of collection. If any payment of principal of or interest on this Note falls due on a day which is not a Banking Day, the due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Banking Day and interest shall be payable at the applicable rate for the period of such extension.

This Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time without prepayment premium or penalty.

____________

1        23 months from effective date

Ex-G-1

For purposes of this Note, “Banking Day” means a day which is not (a) a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday on which banking institutions in the State of Indiana or the city in which the office of the Lender is located is authorized to remain closed, or (b) a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed.

All amounts which shall be paid with respect to this Note shall be applied first to the payment of interest due on the balance of the principal sum or so much thereof as shall from time to time remain unpaid, second to any costs of collection and expenses reimbursable by the Borrower to the Lender, third to the principal amount of this Note which may then be currently due and payable, and last to any late charges then due and payable under this Note.

This Note evidences indebtedness incurred under (i) that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated ___, 2021, between Borrower and Lender (the “Purchase Agreement”), the terms of which are incorporated into this Note by reference and to which reference is made for definitions of capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein, for the terms and conditions upon which payment of this Note may be accelerated and all amounts outstanding hereunder declared immediately due and payable for the maturity of this Note and for the security provided for the payment of this Note. In the event of any discrepancy between this Note and the Purchase Agreement, this Note shall control any discrepancy. This Note is secured by the Letter of Credit.

Upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each, an “Event of Default”), Lender may, at its option, without any demand or notice whatsoever, declare this Note and all indebtedness and obligations of Borrower owing to Lender to be fully due and payable in their aggregate amount, together with accrued interest and all fees, and charges applicable thereto:

(a)     Any failure to make any payment of principal or accrued interest on this Note or under the Purchase Agreement within ten (10) days following receipt of written notice from Lender to Borrower.

(b)    Intentionally Deleted.

(c)     Borrower shall fail to observe or perform any other material term or condition of this Note or any other term or condition set forth in the Purchase Agreement or Borrower shall otherwise default in the observance or performance of any covenant.

(d)    The dissolution or merger of Borrower.

(e)     The creation of any lien (except a lien in favor of Lender) on, the institution of any garnishment proceedings by attachment, levy or otherwise against, the entry of a judgment against, or the seizure of, any of the property of Borrower or any endorser or guarantor hereof.

(f)     Intentionally Deleted.

(g)    Any judgment, order or decree for the payment of money is rendered against Borrower and remains undischarged for 10 days during which time execution is not effectively stayed.

(h)    Intentionally Deleted.

(i)     A commencement by the Borrower of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect; or the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Borrower in a case under any such law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Borrower, or for any substantial part of the property of Borrower, or ordering the wind-up or liquidation of the affairs of Borrower; or the filing and pendency for 30 days without dismissal of a petition initiating an involuntary case under any such bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law; or the making by Borrower of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or the taking of action by the Borrower in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

(j)     Intentionally Deleted.

(k)    The commencement of any foreclosure proceedings (except by Lender), proceedings in aid of execution, attachment actions, levies against, or the filing by any taxing authority of a lien against any of the collateral or any property securing the repayment of any of the indebtedness due and owing under this Note.

(l)     Intentionally Deleted.

Ex-G-2

Upon the occurrence of a default, breach, or an Event of Default under this Note and/or any documents executed in connection therewith that secure this Note or any other documents or agreements executed by Borrower in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, all of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and remaining unpaid balances of interest and expenses shall, at the option of the Lender and without demand or notice, become immediately due and payable and Lender shall be permitted to exercise any rights or remedies set forth in this Note. This Note may also be declared due at the option of the Lender prior to its expressed maturity at the time, upon the terms and in the manner provided in this Note. Failure to exercise any such option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any such option if the Borrower is in default hereunder. Time is of the essence of this Note and all other obligations of the Borrower to the Lender or any of its affiliates.

Borrower waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest, and expressly agrees that this Note and any payment coming due under it may be extended from time to time without in any way affecting their liability hereunder. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower’s heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns. Lender may renew this Note or reduce the payments thereon and any such renewal or reduction shall not release Borrower from liability.

The rights or remedies of the Lender as provided in this Note shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly, successively, or together.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no provision contained herein which purports to obligate Borrower to pay any amount of interest or any fees, costs or expenses which are in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law, shall be effective to the extent that it requires the payment of any interest or other sums in excess of such maximum. In the event Borrower shall at any time following the date hereof pay any amount of interest or any fees, costs or expenses which are in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law, such overpayments shall be deemed to be loans from Borrower to the Lender, which loans shall be due and payable by the Lender upon demand by Borrower together with interest from the date or dates of such overpayments calculated at the same rate as Borrower is required to pay under this Note, and the repayment of such loans by the Lender shall be the sole remedy at law or in equity of Borrower for such overpayments.

The person executing this Note for and on behalf of Borrower hereby certifies that he is duly empowered by the Borrower and has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Borrower to execute and deliver this Note for and on behalf of the Borrower.

This Note may be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, by Lender to any person at any time without notice to or the consent of Borrower. Borrower may not assign or transfer this Note or any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender. This Note shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their permitted assigns.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF INDIANA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE BY AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the county or judicial district of St. Joseph County, Indiana; provided that nothing contained in this Note will prevent Lender from bringing any action, enforcing any award or judgment or exercising any rights against Borrower, against any security or against any property of Borrower within any other county, state or other foreign or domestic jurisdiction. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the venue provided above is the most convenient forum for both Lender and Borrower. Borrower waives any objection to venue and any objection based on a more convenient forum in any action instituted under this Note or in the Purchase Agreement.

BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS NOTE, THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY LENDING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

6.     Subtenant’s Use.    The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the Subtenant’s Use set forth in Section 1 and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which consent may be withheld in Sublandlord’s sole discretion. Subtenant will not use the Premises for any purpose or in any manner in violation of the Prime Lease, any law, municipal ordinance, or regulation, or any certificate of occupancy covering or affecting the use of the Premises.

every other covenant in this Sublease. Annual base rent and any other charges or costs required to be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord under this Sublease shall be collectively referred to herein as “Rent”. Rent for any partial calendar year shall be prorated.

Subtenant shall furnish to Sublandlord certificates of Subtenant’s insurance required hereunder prior to Subtenant’s taking possession of the Premises. Each party hereby waives claims against the other for property damage provided such waiver shall not invalidate the waiving party’s property insurance; each party shall obtain from its insurance carrier a waiver of its right of subrogation. Subtenant hereby waives claims against Prime Landlord and Sublandlord for property damage to the Premises or its contents if and to the extent that Sublandlord waives such claims against Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease.

Sublandlord’s consent to an assignment of this Sublease or a further sublease of the Premises may be withheld in Sublandlord’s sole discretion. Sublandlord shall be permitted to assign all of its interests as tenant under the Prime Lease to Subtenant without consent upon written notice to Prime Landlord.

11.   Alterations.  Subtenant shall not make any alterations in or additions to the Premises, except with Sublandlord’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Sublandlord’s sole discretion, and except as expressly allowed under the Prime Lease.

12.   Surrender.    Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, or of the Subtenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Subtenant will surrender the Premises, together with all improvements thereon, to Sublandlord in the condition and repair as required by the Prime Lease.

14.   Holding Over.    Subtenant shall have no right to occupy the Premises or any portion thereof after the expiration of this Sublease or after termination of this Sublease or of Subtenant’s right to possession in consequence of an Event of Default. In the event Subtenant or any party claiming by, through, or under Subtenant holds over, such tenancy shall be on a month-to-month basis and Sublandlord may exercise any and all remedies available to it at law

Ex-H-2

or in equity to recover possession of the Premises, and to recover damages, including without limitation, damages payable by Sublandlord to Prime Landlord by reason of such holdover.

Any claim to, or lien upon, the Premises, the Building, or the Land arising from any act or omission of Subtenant shall accrue only against the subleasehold estate of Subtenant and shall be subject and subordinate to the paramount title and rights of Prime Landlord in and to the Premises, the Building, and the Land and the interest of Sublandlord in the premises leased pursuant to the Prime Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subtenant shall not permit the Premises, the Building, or the Land to become subject to any mechanics’, laborers’, or materialmen’s lien on account of labor or material furnished to Subtenant or claimed to have been furnished to Subtenant in connection with work of any character performed or claimed to have been performed on the Premises by, or at the direction or sufferance of Subtenant.

16.   Indemnity.    Subtenant agrees to indemnify Sublandlord and hold Sublandlord harmless from all losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses which Sublandlord may incur, or for which Sublandlord may be liable to Prime Landlord, arising from the acts or omissions of Subtenant, including without limitation, any breach of this Sublease.

17.   Sublandlord’s Reserved Rights.    Sublandlord reserves the right, on no less than one (1) business day’s prior written notice, to inspect the Premises or, in the last six (6) months of the Sublease Term, to exhibit the Premises to persons having a legitimate interest at any time during the Term.

(b)    Subtenant shall default in any of the other covenants and agreements contained in this Sublease to be kept, observed, and performed by Subtenant, and such default shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice to Subtenant; provided that if such default cannot be cured within the thirty (30) day period, then Subtenant shall not be in default hereunder so long as Subtenant commences such cure within the thirty (30) day period and proceeds diligently until such remedy is complete;

(c)     Subtenant shall be adjudged a bankrupt or make any assignment for the benefit of creditors.

21.   Provisions Regarding Sublease.    This Sublease and all the rights of the parties under this Sublease are subject and subordinate to the Prime Lease. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereby confirm, each to the other, that it is not practical in this Sublease to enumerate all of the rights and obligations of the various parties under the Prime Lease and specifically to allocate those rights and obligations in this Sublease. Accordingly, in order to afford to Subtenant the benefits of this Sublease and of those provisions of the Prime Lease which by their nature are intended to benefit the party in possession of the Premises, and in order to protect Sublandlord against a default by Subtenant which might cause a default or event of default by Sublandlord under the Prime Lease:

(c)     Subtenant shall perform all affirmative covenants of the Prime Lease and shall refrain from performing any act which is prohibited by the negative covenants of the Prime Lease.

Ex-H-4

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Article III and Section 4.01 of the Prime Lease are inapplicable to this Sublease.

22.   Security Deposit.    The parties agree to the security deposit terms described in the Purchase and Sale Agreement between them dated as of ______, 2021.

23.   Option to Purchase.    Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease to the contrary, during the term of this Sublease Subtenant shall have no rights arising under or relating to Article XXII of the Prime Lease (“Option to Purchase”) and Sublandlord shall have no obligation to exercise said option. During the term of this Sublease, all rights relating to said option are reserved exclusively to Sublandlord and Sublandlord may elect, in its sole discretion, whether or not to exercise said option. This Paragraph 23 shall automatically terminate and be null and void upon the mutual execution and delivery of the Assignment of Ground Lease contemplated in Paragraph 24 below. All rights relating to said option are reserved exclusively to Sublandlord and Sublandlord may elect, in its sole discretion, whether or not to exercise said option.

24.   Assignment and Assumption of Ground Lease.    If Subtenant, as buyer, fulfills all of its obligations under the Land Contract, then promptly after Subtenant has paid Sublandlord, as seller, all amounts due under the Land Contract in full, the parties shall execute and deliver an assignment and assumption of the Ground Lease in the form of attached Exhibit B (the “Assignment of Ground Lease”). Upon full execution and delivery of the Assignment of Ground Lease, Paragraph 23 shall be null and void and all of Assignor’s rights in the Ground Lease, including, without limitation, the Option to Purchase, shall belong solely to Assignee.
