Item 1.01 | Entry Into Material Definitive Agreements. |
As previously announced, on July 21, 2017, we entered into a fourth amendment to our August 25, 2016 agreement to sell Nashville Superspeedway in order to allow the parties to finalize new agreements relative to a restructured transaction involving the sale of a portion of the property and an option for an additional portion of the property. We have executed an agreement relative to the sale of approximately 153 acres at a purchase price of $35,000 per acre. Closing under this agreement is scheduled to occur towards the end of our fourth quarter, subject to extension if certain milestones have been met (which could delay closing until the first quarter of 2018). Earnest money in the amount of $750,000 that was previously deposited under the August 25, 2016 agreement will be applied against the purchase price under the agreement or refunded to Purchaser if certain conditions to closing are not met. We continue to negotiate terms of a three year option for approximately 88 additional acres at a purchase price of $55,000 per acre.
Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of August 17, 2017 between Nashville Speedway, USA, Inc. and PDC TN/FL, LLC. is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.

EXHIBIT 10.1
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (the Agreement) is made and entered into effective as of August 17, 2017 (the Effective Date) by and between PDC TN/FL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Purchaser), and Nashville Speedway, USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Seller).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Seller is the owner in fee simple of parcel of land containing approximately 150 acres located at 4847-F McCreary Road, Lebanon, Wilson County, Tennessee 37090 being identified by the Wilson County assessors office as tax parcel number 141-02600-00023141 as more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (hereinafter referred to as the Land) and the exact description of the Land shall be shown on the Survey (as defined herein) mutually approved by Seller and Purchaser;
WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to purchase from Seller the Land, any improvements related thereto (the Improvements), and any rights, privileges, and easements, if any, appurtenant to the Land, including, without limitation, and other water, sewer, mineral and air rights and rights of way related thereto (collectively the Property) and Seller desires to sell and transfer the same to Purchaser;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1: PROPERTY TO BE SOLD
1.1 Property to be Sold. Purchaser agrees to buy and Seller agrees to sell and convey all of Sellers right, title and interest in and to the Property, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Property is being sold AS IS, WHERE IS. Title to the Land shall be conveyed as provided herein.
ARTICLE 2: PURCHASE PRICE
2.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price (the Purchase Price) for the Property shall be Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00) per acre and shall be paid at Closing (as defined in Section 6.1 herein) by wire transfer received by Seller or the closing agent, as applicable, subject to a credit to Purchaser for the Earnest Money (as defined in Section 2.2 below) and closing adjustments as set forth herein. Upon approval of the Survey, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted based upon $35,000 per acre multiplied by the actual number of acres shown on the Survey to the one-hundredths place (example: 149.57 acres).
2.2 Earnest Money. Purchaser has deposited with Fidelity National Title Insurance Company (the Title Company), the sum of Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) (the Earnest Money shall include the referenced deposit, any additional deposit and any interest accrued thereon) to be held in escrow by the Title Company.
2.3 Escrow. The Earnest Money delivered to the Title Company shall be held in trust for the mutual benefit of the parties subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Earnest Money shall be deposited by the Title Company in an interest bearing insured account with a reputable lending institution, with the interest thereon to accumulate until such time as the Earnest Money is released. If this Agreement terminates under circumstances which would permit forfeiture of the Earnest Money to Seller, Seller will
1
receive all interest accrued thereon; likewise, if this Agreement terminates under conditions allowing the Purchaser to receive a refund of the Earnest Money, Purchaser will receive all interest accrued thereon. If the sale of the Property closes as contemplated, Purchaser will receive the benefit of the Earnest Money and interest accrued thereon as a credit against the Purchase Price. Any payments of income from the Earnest Money shall be subject to withholding regulations then in force with respect to United States taxes. In the event the Earnest Money is invested in an interest bearing account, then Seller and Purchaser shall provide Title Company with appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 for tax identification number certification, or non-resident alien certification, and Title Company shall be permitted to hold the Earnest Money until it receives such forms.
2.4 No Liability of Holder of Earnest Money. Seller and Purchaser each agree to indemnify Title Company and to hold Title Company harmless from and against any and all liabilities incurred by Title Company in connection with holding the Earnest Money under this Agreement, except to the extent due to Title Companys willful misconduct or gross negligence. In the event of any dispute or question as to the duties of Title Company hereunder, Title Company shall be entitled, in Title Companys sole discretion, without liability to any person having any claim to the Earnest Money, to refuse to perform any act other than to retain the Earnest Money until Title Companys obligations hereunder have been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or until Title Company has received appropriate instructions in writing signed by the Seller and Purchaser. Title Company may act pursuant to the advice of counsel with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement and shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith in accordance with such advice, unless caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Title Company. Title Company does not have any interest in the Earnest Money deposited hereunder but is serving as escrow holder only and having only possession thereof.
