1)PURCHASE AND SALE; PURCHASE PRICE:
(A)Purchase and Sale of Assets. Seller agrees to sell the Assets to Buyer, and ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to purchase the Assets from Seller, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The purchase price for the Assets is One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,200,000) (the “Purchase Price”). Buyer shall deliver the Deposit (as defined below) to Escrow Holder as provided in Section 2 below. The Balance of the Purchase Price (as that term is defined herein) shall be payable at the Close of Escrow pursuant to the terms stated herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that Buyer, as lender, and Thunder Ridge Transport Inc. (“Borrower”), as borrower, which is an affiliate of Seller, entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of August 31, 2017 (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”), relating to a $1,000,000 loan (the “Loan”) from Buyer to Borrower, together with other related agreements and guaranties relating to the Loan (collectively, the “Loan Documents”). At the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to Four Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Three and 19/100 Dollars ($465,663.19) (the “Loan Balance Credit”), which Loan Balance Credit is the outstanding balance of the Loan as of the Effective Date. Upon Buyer’s receipt of the Loan Balance Credit at the Close of Escrow, the Loan shall be deemed repaid and the Loan Documents shall be deemed terminated, revoked and of no further force and effect, and any and all liens and/or security interests created pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be released, revoked and discharged and of no further force and effect, except to the extent that any of the Loan Documents contain obligations on the part of Borrower or any guarantor, pledgor or indemnitor thereunder which are expressly intended by the terms of the Loan Documents to survive repayment of the Loan (the “Surviving Obligations”), which Surviving Obligations shall survive the Close of Escrow and repayment of the Loan in accordance with the express terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Close of Escrow does not occur, the Loan shall not be modified and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
(B)Simultaneous Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller agree and acknowledge that Seller shall have no right to sell the Assets hereunder unless the Assets are sold simultaneously at Closing, and the Closing shall occur concurrently with the closing of the transactions contemplated under the Affiliate PSA. In the event Buyer is unable to acquire simultaneously both the Business and the Property from Seller, or close on the transactions contemplated under the Affiliate PSA, for any reason, Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller, and thereafter the Deposit (and all interest accrued thereon) shall be immediately returned to Buyer (without the need for any further instructions from Seller or Buyer), and, except for any obligations
which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall not have any further obligation to the other hereunder with respect to the Assets.
2)ESCROW, DEPOSIT, CLOSING, PRORATIONS, INDEPENDENT CONSIDERATION:
(A)Escrow and Deposit. Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, as a deposit against the Purchase Price, Buyer shall deposit Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000) (the “Deposit”) into escrow (the “Escrow”) to be opened with First American Title Insurance Company, located at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attn: ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (“Escrow Holder”). Escrow shall be deemed opened the date Escrow Holder is in receipt of the fully executed Agreement. Seller and Buyer shall execute such further documents or instruments as Escrow Holder may reasonably deem necessary to close this transaction during the term of this Agreement. If Buyer delivers an Approval Notice pursuant to Section 3(A) below, then the Deposit shall become nonrefundable upon expiration of the Due Diligence Period, except as expressly provided herein. Escrow shall hold the Deposit in an interest-bearing account in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. All interest accruing on such sums shall become a part of the Deposit and shall be distributed as the Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(B)Closing. The purchase and sale of the Assets (the “Closing”) shall occur on or before the date which is ten (10) days following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. The actual date as of which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date” or the “Close of Escrow”. In the event the transactions contemplated hereunder proceed to Closing: on or before the Closing Date, Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Holder cash by means of a confirmed wire transfer through the Federal Reserve System or cashier’s check in the amount of the Purchase Price, plus Buyer’s share of expenses and prorations but less the Deposit (the “Balance of the Purchase Price”) as set forth in this Agreement.
Buyer and Seller shall each have the option to extend the Closing Date one (1) time for a period of ten (10) days upon providing written notice to the other party at least five (5) business days prior to the then-scheduled Closing Date.
(C)Proration of Expenses. Seller shall pay all documentary transfer taxes imposed on the conveyance of title to the Real Property to Buyer and one-half (1/2) of the Escrow fees. Buyer shall pay one-half (1/2) of the Escrow fees and shall be responsible for any costs relating to the termination of the Contracts, as set forth in Section 9 below. Unless provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all other closing costs shall be paid in accordance with the custom in the county in which the Property is located. Each party will pay its own attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees and the fees of its other professionals. In addition, each party shall pay the fees associated with the issuance of an extended ALTA owner’s policy of title insurance and any requested endorsements as set forth in Section 5. Final readings and final ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for utilities (including, but not limited to, natural gas) will be made (i) if possible, as of the Closing Date, or
(ii) through the utility itself outside of Closing, thus no proration will be made at Closing with respect to utility bills. Buyer shall have all utilities transferred to its name as of the Closing Date.
(D)Independent Consideration. Seller and Buyer agree that $100.00 of the Deposit will constitute non-refundable independent consideration (the “Independent Consideration”) for Seller’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, will be paid to Seller upon the earlier to occur of: (i) termination of this Agreement for any reason, or (ii) the Closing. The Independent Consideration will be applied against the Purchase Price at Closing.
(E)Holdback of Purchase Price. For purposes of guaranteeing Seller’s obligation to satisfy the Holdback Conditions (as defined below), the Escrow Holder shall, at Closing, withhold from the Purchase Price an amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (collectively, the “Holdback Amount”), which Holdback Amount shall be held in escrow following the Closing Date until the Holdback Conditions are satisfied, pursuant to the terms of an escrow holdback agreement in the form required by Escrow Holder. As used herein, the “Holdback Conditions” means Buyer shall have received a tax clearance certificate from the applicable Arizona tax authorities. Should escrow receive any claims exceeding the Holdback ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to refund escrow to cover said claims. The obligations of Seller under this Section 2(E) shall survive the Closing.
3)DUE DILIGENCE AND CONTINGENCIES.
(A)Due Diligence Period. From the Effective Date and ending on the day which is sixty (60) days thereafter (the “Due Diligence Period”), Buyer shall have the right to review the materials set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 below and the Assets, and satisfy itself that certain matters are satisfactory to Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion. Buyer and its agents and representatives (including any architects, engineers and consultants) shall be entitled to enter onto the Real Property at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner to perform inspections and conduct tests of the Assets, and conduct tests of all structural and mechanical systems within the improvements (including, but not limited to walk-in coolers, water heaters, HVAC system(s), and all point of sale and computer hardware and software equipment) (collectively, the “Equipment”) and to conduct such soil, geological, engineering, environmental (including ground water), hazardous or toxic materials, noise, pollution, seismic or other tests, studies or investigations as Buyer reasonably deems appropriate. In addition, Buyer and its agents and representatives shall be entitled to enter onto the Real Property at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner to interview ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s management personnel. Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from all loss, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred, suffered by, or claimed against Seller by reason of any damage to the Real Property, or injury to persons caused by Buyer and/or its agents, employees or contractors in conducting its due diligence as described in this Section 3(A) provided however, the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the extent any such claims arise from (i) the acts or omissions of Seller or its officers, directors, contractors, employees or agents, (ii) the mere discovery or exposure of a pre-existing condition with respect to the Property, or (iii) the effect of any governmental action which results from any tests, studies or reports obtained by Buyer. The indemnity contained in this Section 3(A) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the Closing.
In the event Buyer (for any reason or no reason) disapproves the Assets, Buyer may terminate its obligation to purchase the Assets by delivering written notice of its disapproval of the Assets to Seller at any time prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (“Termination Notice”), in which case (a) the Deposit shall be immediately refunded to Buyer by Escrow Holder, less the Independent Consideration and any amounts due to Escrow Holder from Buyer pursuant to this Agreement (without the need for any further instructions from Seller or Buyer), and (b) Buyer’s obligation to purchase, and Seller’s obligation to sell, the Assets shall terminate, and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. In the event that Buyer elects in its sole and absolute discretion to approve all matters relating to the Assets, then ▇▇▇▇▇ shall deliver written notice of its approval of the Assets to Seller and Escrow Holder prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (“Approval Notice”). If Buyer fails to deliver a Termination Notice or an Approval Notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have delivered a Termination Notice. The provisions of this Section 3(A) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the Closing.
(B)Contingencies. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to the contingencies set forth herein, this Agreement is contingent upon the satisfaction of the following contingencies (collectively, the “Contingencies”): (1) Seller delivering the Property free and clear of (i) any tenants or occupants under any lease, license or other similar occupancy agreement, including all Contracts and excluding Buyer or its affiliates, and (ii) any and all liens and other encumbrances, other than the liens set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Permitted Liens”) and (2) Seller obtaining a waiver of any right of first refusals and/or other purchase options affecting the Property. Seller acknowledges and agrees that upon execution of this Agreement by ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller, the Contingencies must either be satisfied or waived by Buyer on or prior to the Close of Escrow. In the event the Contingencies have not been satisfied or waived by Buyer on or before the Close of Escrow, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive the full Deposit, plus any interest accrued thereon, and the costs and expenses incurred in the attempted performance of this Agreement shall be paid by the parties in the proportions set forth in Section 2(C), and each party shall be restored, so far as possible, to the position he was in prior to the execution of this Agreement.
5)TITLE: Within five (5) days following the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a preliminary title report and copies of all exception documents referenced therein (the “Title Report”) issued by First American Title Insurance Company, located at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Title Company”), describing the title to the Property, together with a copy of all title exceptions (the “Exceptions”) set forth in the Title Report. In the event the Title Report is not timely delivered, Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, extend the Due Diligence Period by an amount not to exceed one (1) day per each day the Title Report is untimely delivered. Unless disapproved by ▇▇▇▇▇ in a written notice delivered to Seller on or before fifteen (15) days after ▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of the Report (“Buyer’s Title Notice”), Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the condition of title to the Property and/or any natural hazards disclosed by the following (collectively, the “Title Documents”): (i) the Report; (ii) the Exceptions; and (iii) the legal description of the Property. Buyer shall have the same rights to approve, disapprove or conditionally approve any Exceptions to title that are not created by ▇▇▇▇▇ and that come into existence after issuance of the Report but prior to Closing upon the earlier of: (i) five (5) business days after ▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of an amendment to the Report, or (2) the Closing
Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer hereby disapproves all leases, tenancies or rights of parties in possession, deeds of trust, delinquent taxes and assessments and other monetary liens affecting the Land, other than the Permitted Liens and liens for non-delinquent property taxes and assessments as described above) and Seller hereby covenants to cause all such disapproved liens to be satisfied at Seller’s sole cost and expense (including all prepayment penalties and charges) before or concurrently with the Close of Escrow from sales proceeds or otherwise.
If ▇▇▇▇▇’s Title Notice disapproves any of the Exceptions, then Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to indicate which matters, if any, identified in Buyer’s Title Notice will be satisfied or cured by the Closing Date by delivering written notice to Buyer (“Seller’s Title Notice”) within five (5) business days after Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s Title Notice. Seller’s failure to deliver Seller’s Title Notice shall be deemed to constitute Seller’s election not to satisfy or cure any of the matters set forth in Buyer’s Title Notice. Following Seller’s actual or deemed election not to cure or remove any title Exception, Buyer shall have five (5) business days after Seller’s actual or deemed election not to cure any title Exception to notify Seller of its waiver of any one or more of the title Exceptions, or Buyer may terminate this Agreement and receive the entire Deposit, plus any interest accrued thereon. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement by the expiration of the later of such dates, then Buyer shall be deemed to have approved all such Exceptions, and Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement except in the event of a Seller default.
Seller shall convey by Warranty Deed, in form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, fee title to the Real Property, subject only to the Permitted Liens and the Exceptions approved or deemed approved by Buyer (the “Warranty Deed”). ▇▇▇▇▇’s title to the Property shall be insured by an ALTA extended coverage owner’s policy of title insurance (the “Title Policy”) issued by the Title Company in the amount of the Purchase Price with premium for extended ALTA coverage paid by ▇▇▇▇▇. The costs for an ALTA extended coverage and endorsements shall be paid by ▇▇▇▇▇, and the cost of any curative endorsements pursuant to Buyer’s Title Notice shall be paid by Seller.
In the event of any supplement to or update of the Title Report, or if a survey discloses additional title exceptions (other than any resulting from Buyer’s activities on the Property), Buyer shall have an additional ten (10) day period following Buyer’s receipt of such supplement or update to approve or disapprove such item in its sole and absolute discretion. Any disapproval will be subject to the same notice/response provisions and right to a refund of the Deposit as set forth in this Section 5.
6)PROPERTY DOCUMENTS: Within five (5) business days following the Effective Date, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to deliver to Buyer via an electronic data room the items listed on Exhibit B hereto, to the extent in Seller’s possession or under the control of Seller (collectively, the “Property Documents”). In addition, during the Due Diligence Period, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to deliver or make available to Buyer such other documents and property records as Buyer may reasonably request to the extent relating to the Seller’s ownership and operation of the Property, to the extent in Seller’s possession. In addition, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to provide Buyer with copies of all contracts affecting the Property within five (5) business days following the Effective Date that are in the possession or under the control of Seller (collectively, the “Contracts”), and Buyer and Seller shall
promptly supplement this Agreement by attaching such Contracts as Exhibit E hereto.

Neither the execution and the delivery by Buyer of this Agreement and the Buyer Documents, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or compliance by Buyer with any of the provisions hereof or thereof, will (i) conflict with, violate, result in the breach or termination of, or constitute a default under, any contract, promissory note, or agreement to which Buyer is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets is bound or subject or (ii) to the best of Buyer’s knowledge, constitute a violation of any law applicable to Buyer.
iii.Litigation. There is no legal proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Buyer, threatened against ▇▇▇▇▇ that seeks to enjoin or obtain damages in respect of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or that questions the validity of this Agreement, the Buyer Documents or any action taken or to be taken by the Buyer in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
iv.Survival. The representations and warranties of Buyer set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months following such Closing.
vi. Suitability. Neither Buyer nor any of its shareholders, members, and/or partners have ever been convicted of a felony.
vii. Future Profits/Losses. Buyer acknowledges and understands that any future profits or losses from the Business or the Assets acquired pursuant to this Agreement will be the result of ▇▇▇▇▇’s labor and efforts and that Seller has made no representations or warranties, either express or implied, concerning same.
13)PERSONAL PROPERTY: The Personal Property shall consist of all items, furniture, fixtures, equipment, machinery, parts and other tangible personal property owned by Seller and situated at the Property on the Effective Date, including without limitation: the backroom personal computer, credit card machine, money order machine, and all sign structures; fixtures and equipment now attached to or used in connection with the Property, including without limitation, all pumps and dispensers, canopies, fuel lines, fittings and connections used in the ordinary course of business at the Property to receive and dispense compressed natural gas; to the extent transferable, all operating permits, fuel equipment, and other permits, licenses, filings and other governmental authorizations, agreements, contracts, and approvals; all plans and specifications, surveys, blueprints and drawings in Seller’s possession or under its control now or as of the Closing Date related solely to the Property; all of the right, title and interest of Seller in any tangible and intangible personal property now or through the Closing Date owned by Seller and used in the operation of the Business and all service contracts and warranties or guarantees
received by Seller from any sellers, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers or materialmen in connection with any construction, repairs or alteration of any of the Property, and other similar rights relating to the use and operation of the Assets.
14)PRORATIONS: As applicable, ad valorem property taxes and assessments (site and/or area) and any sign permit fees, whether paid in arrears or paid in advance, and unsecured taxes on Personal Property shall be prorated to the date of Closing, by calculating the entire tax/fee advancement or arrearage due at the time of transfer, and not just since the last tax/fee billing or assessment date, if that amount is different. The amount of the last current billing for all such taxes, assessments and fees shall be used to make the respective proration calculations. The amount of any bond or assessment which is a lien and not customarily paid with real property taxes shall be paid by Seller if same is due on or before the Closing Date. In addition, rents on the billboard sign, deposits (if any), prepaid expenses, and similar items relating to the Property shall be prorated between the parties as of the date of Closing. Charges for water, gas, power, light and other utility service shall be the responsibility of Seller with respect to service up to the Closing Date and shall be Buyer’s responsibility with respect to service on and after the Closing Date. This obligation to make apportionments shall survive the Closing.
15)REBRANDING; SIGNAGE: Promptly following the Closing, and in no event more than thirty (30) days after the Closing (the "Rebranding Period”), Buyer will, at its own cost and expense, cause each Store to be rebranded under Buyer’s logos and other intellectual property (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) and will remove from the Stores all references to “EVO CNG” and will otherwise remove all of Seller’s Intellectual Property from the Property. During the Rebranding Period, Buyer shall have the right to use the “EVO CNG” name only in a manner reasonably necessary in connection with ▇▇▇▇▇’s conduct of the Business at the Property.
16)POSSESSION DATE: Upon the recording of the Warranty Deed in favor of ▇▇▇▇▇, Escrow Holder is then authorized to deliver the Bill of Sale to Buyer and Seller shall give keys and possession of the Business and Property to Buyer.
17)RISK OF LOSS: Risk of loss to the Assets shall be borne by Seller until the Close of Escrow. In the event that the Property or any material portion thereof is the subject of any governmental taking or the improvements on the Property are destroyed or materially damaged between the Effective Date and the date title to the Property is conveyed to Buyer, Buyer shall have the option of demanding and receiving back the entire Deposit, less the Independent Consideration, and being released from all obligations hereunder, or alternatively, taking such improvements as Seller can deliver. Upon ▇▇▇▇▇’s physical inspection and approval of the Property, Seller shall maintain the Property through the Close of Escrow in the same condition and repair as approved, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
18)DEFAULT: By placing their initials immediately below, Buyer and Seller agree that it would be impractical or extremely difficult to fix actual damages in the event of a default by ▇▇▇▇▇, that the amount of the Deposit hereunder (as same may be increased by the terms hereof) is the parties’ reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages in the event of Buyer’s default, and upon the Buyer’s default in its purchase obligations under this Agreement, not caused by any breach by Seller, Seller shall be released from its obligation to sell the Property and shall retain the Deposit (as same may be increased by the terms
hereof) as liquidated damages, which shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy in law or at equity for Buyer’s default.
Seller’s Initials MW
Buyer’s Initials RV
In the event Seller defaults in its obligations under this Agreement prior to the Close of Escrow, then Buyer may, at its option and as its sole and exclusive remedy, either (i) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller whereupon Escrow Holder will return to Buyer the Deposit, Seller will reimburse Buyer for Buyer’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the due diligence investigations of the Property, and its proposed financing of the acquisition (including the costs of collection and enforcement thereof), and both Buyer and Seller will be relieved of any further obligations or liabilities hereunder, or (ii) seek specific performance of this Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent specific performance is not available to Buyer due to Seller’s actions, Buyer shall have all rights and remedies available at law or in equity. Seller hereby covenants and agrees it shall not seek to expunge a lis pendens recorded against the Real Property filed by ▇▇▇▇▇ in connection with an action by Buyer to specifically enforce this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent specific performance is not legally an available remedy to Buyer due to Seller’s actions, Buyer shall have all rights and remedies available at law or in equity to recover actual money damages and consequential “lost profits” damages. Except as specifically set forth and conditioned in this Section 18, Buyer does hereby specifically waive any right to pursue any other remedy at law or equity for any default of Seller, including, without limitation, any right to seek, claim or obtain any other damages or punitive, exemplary, special, indirect, or speculative damages. This Section shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if a party is in breach under this Agreement (the “Defaulting Party”) the other party (the “Non-defaulting Party”) shall deliver written notice to the Defaulting Party of such breach, and (a) the Defaulting Party shall have until 5:00 p.m. local time in the state in which the Land is located on the date that is five (5) business days after the Defaulting Party’s receipt of such written notice to cure the breach, and (b) the Defaulting Party shall not be in default under this Agreement if the Defaulting Party cures such breach on or prior to 5:00 p.m. local time in the state in which the Land is located on the date that is five (5) business days after the Defaulting Party’s receipt of such written notice; provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply with respect to a default by Seller in its obligations to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date.
19)1031 EXCHANGE: Either party may elect to structure the conveyance, transfer and/or assignment of all or an applicable portion of the Assets as a tax-free exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1996, as amended (a “1031 Exchange”), provided that such party gives notice of such election to the other party at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the Closing Date, and provided that the non-exchanging party shall not be required to take title to any other property. If such an exchange is elected by such party (the “Electing Party”), the parties will execute all necessary 1031 Exchange documents (provided, that any costs and expenses incurred shall be borne by the Electing Party), which shall be in a form mutually acceptable to the parties. The Electing Party will indemnify the other party and its affiliates, employees and agents against any and all costs or expenses, which may be sustained by them on account of or in connection with such election to structure the transaction as a 1031 Exchange.
