W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, Company, affiliates of Company, Agent and the note purchasers identified therein and/or party thereto from time to time (“Purchasers”) are parties to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 8, 2021, as amended by that certain Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement, effective as of January 22, 2024, as further amended by that certain Second Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement, effective as of February 28, 2024 (the “Existing Purchase Agreement”, and as amended hereby, the “Purchase Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Company issued to Purchasers its Notes, in the original aggregate principal amount of Twenty-Four Million Eight Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($24,860,000) (as amended, individually a “Note”, and collectively the “Notes”);

 

WHEREAS, Company has requested that (i) Agent and Purchasers agree to High Mountain Door and Trim Inc.’s, an Obligor (“High Mountain”) entry into an asset purchase agreement (the “High Mountain Asset Purchase Agreement”) with BFS Group LLC to sell all of the assets and transfer certain of the liabilities used in the High Mountain’s business, (ii) Agent and Purchasers have consented to the execution, delivery and performance of the High Mountain Asset Purchase Agreement subject to compliance with this Amendment in all respects, as set forth in that certain Waiver and Consent, dated as of the date hereof (the “High Mountain Transaction”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Company has informed Agent and Purchasers that the Company is pursuing the purchase of all of the outstanding shares of CMD Inc., a Nevada corporation, by a wholly owned and controlled subsidiary of the Company, which will be a Delaware entity (any such entity, “1847 CMD”, and such transaction, the “CMD Transaction”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valid consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged (and with respect to Agent and Purchasers, additionally in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Company set forth in Section 10 below and upon satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness set forth in Section 9 below), the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

 

 

 

2. Acknowledgment of Indebtedness. Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that, as of September 27, 2024, Company remains liable to Purchasers for the principal amount of the notes in an amount equal to $24,760,000.00 plus accrued interest and prepayment obligations equal to $2,100,000.

 

3. Reserves and Escrow Related to the High Mountain Transaction.

 

(a)The net sale proceeds paid to High Mountain, Company or their affiliates in connection with the High Mountain Asset Transaction, in an amount equal to $7,000,000 as shown in the settlement statement attached hereto as Schedule I (the “Settlement Statement”) shall be deposited with Altimir Partners LP and Beaman Special Opportunities Partners, LP in the amounts set forth in the Settlement Statement (it being agreed SILAC Insurance Company, as their contractual representative shall have the right to control such accounts, in such capacity, “Reserve Holder”) in reserve (the “Reserved Funds”). The Reserved Funds shall be held in a non-interest bearing account. Upon the Company delivering Reserve Holder a written notice stating the closing date of the CMD Transaction and reasonably acceptable evidence that the CMD Transaction will close, Reserve Holder shall disburse the Reserved Funds to a reputable third-party in escrow, solely to be used in connection with the consummation of the CMD Transaction. In the event the CMD Transaction does not close as set forth in the written notice, such third-party shall return the Reserved Funds to Reserve Holder. Such arrangement shall be memorialized in writing in form and substance acceptable to Reserve Holder. In the event the CMD Transaction does not close on or before November 15, 2024, Section 4(b) below shall govern. Parties acknowledge and agree that Reserve Holder is only a stakeholder with respect to the Reserved Funds and only acting in a ministerial capacity and shall only be liable for acts solely caused by Reserve Holder’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. In furtherance of the foregoing, Reserve Holder shall not be liable for: (i) any loss or impairment of Reserved Funds while those funds are on deposit in a financial institution, if such loss or impairment results from failure, insolvency or suspension of a financial institution; (ii) the unavailability of FDIC insurance with regard to the Reserved Funds; (iii) legal effect, insufficiency, or validity of any instrument deposited with or delivered by or to Reserve Holder; and (iv) any mistakes of fact, errors of judgment, actions or omissions, unless solely caused by its willful misconduct or gross negligence.

 

(b)The High Mountain Asset Purchase Agreement provides that $1,700,000 of the purchase price thereunder be retained by purchaser under the High Mountain Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Holdback”) and, subject to the conditions set forth in the High Mountain Asset Purchase Agreement, be released to High Mountain within five (5) Business Days following the date which is twelve (12) months after the closing date of the transactions contemplated in the High Mountain Purchase Agreement (the “Holdback Release Date”). The Company and High Mountain hereby acknowledge and agree that any Holdback amounts paid by purchaser under the High Mountain Asset Purchase Agreement shall, to the extent that Obligations remain due and owing to the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement and Transaction Documents, solely be the Property of Purchasers and shall be paid to Agent for Purchasers’ pro-rata interest within one (1) Business Day of the Holdback Release Date. If, as of September 30, 2025, such paid Holdback amounts are less than $1,700,000, the Company and Obligors shall remit such shortfall (which may be the entire $1,700,000 if no Holdback have been released as of such date) to Agent for Purchasers’ pro- rata interest to be applied towards the Obligations. Time is of the essence with respect to the obligations set forth herein and the Company’s or Obligors’ failure to remit and release Holdback amounts or make the payments set forth above shall be an immediate Event of Default under the Transaction Documents. In connection with the foregoing, immediately after the Effective Date, High Mountain shall send a notice to purchaser under the High Mountain Asset Purchase Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, directing such purchaser to remit any Holdback to the account set forth therein. Neither the Company nor High Mountain shall rescind or amend such notice unless requested to do so by Agent or no Obligations remain due and owing to the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement and Transaction Documents.
