WHEREAS, the Seller and Buyer now desire to further amend the Agreement in certain respects as more particularly set forth below. In that regard, the Second Addendum shall merge with the Agreement to become a part thereof and be fully binding upon the parties, and their respective affiliates and assigns.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the execution and delivery of this Second Addendum and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Buyer hereby agree as follows:
1.Definitions. Terms capitalized but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. For purposes of clarification, the terms Closing and Closing Date have the meanings given to them in the Original Agreement.
2.Amendment to Section 1.02. Section 1.02 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence to the end of the current paragraph: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchase Price will be reduced to Four Million Forty Nine Thousand Twenty Two Dollars and 00/100 USD ($4,049,022.00) if the Buyer makes the Second Payment described in Section 1.03(ii) of the Agreement.”

Section 1.03 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid to the Seller as follows:
(i)Cash payment of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars and 00/100 USD ($1,500,000.00) (the “Initial Payment”), to be paid in immediately available funds on the Closing Date, which has been paid and applied to the ANP Interest.
(ii)If Buyer pays $1,483,915.00 (the “Second Payment”) of the remaining portion of the Purchase Price on or before September 9, 2020, Seller will assign the ANP Interest to Buyer on the date the Second Payment is made, and the remaining portion of the Purchase Price would be reduced by $42,500.00, such that the remaining balance would be $1,065,107.00 (the “Reduced Balance”). With respect to the Second Payment, the Buyer may hold $100,000 in the trust account of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Holdback Amount”), and the Holdback Amount will be released to Seller when Seller reasonably determines the ANP Member’s tax obligations for their portion of ANP’s business operations during 2020 prior to the sale of the ANP Interests, and if any taxes are owed by the minority owners of ANP, once the Seller has made a distribution to such minority owners for their respective tax obligations, and if the minority owners have no such tax obligations for 2020, when a statement by Seller has been provided to Buyer to that effect.
(iii)An additional payment (the “Final Payment”) equal to either (A) the Reduced Balance, if the Second Payment is made in accordance with Section 1.03(ii) above, or (B) Two Million Five Hundred Ninety One Thousand Five Hundred Twenty-Two Dollars and 00/100 USD ($2,591,522.00), if the Second Payment is not made.

4.Replace Defined Term Future Payment with Final Payment. All references to the defined term “Future Payment” in the Agreement should be replaced with the term “Final Payment.”
