Agreement"). The purchase price shall be that set forth in the Buy/Sell

the Buy/Sell Agreement to any party. BMW NA shall remain responsible to
guarantee the purchase price to be paid by the assignee.

of all liens and
encumbrances. Any property shall be transferred by Warranty Deed, where

agreements, licenses, easements, permits or other documents necessary for the
conduct of Dealer's BMW Operations.

for all acceptable expenses, excluding brokerage commissions, incurred by
Dealer in connection with the development of the Buy/Sell Agreement. Dealer
will supply BMA NA with reasonable documentation to support all those
expenses and all copies of materials generated during the negotiation and
development of the Buy/Sell Agreement in anticipation of the sale (including
environmental reports, accounting reviews, among others.) Any dispute
regarding reimbursement shall be presented for review under Article H.

brother, sister, parent, grandchild, or spouse of child); to an individual
who is listed on the Successor Addendum; to an individual who is currently
employed by Dealer and has been actively employed by Dealer for a least three

satisfying customers. BMW NA will support Dealer's customer satisfaction
efforts through counseling, training opportunities and providing survey
results.

satisfaction programs. That plan shall include continuous reinforcement to
all dealership personnel of the importance of customer satisfaction,

representative, Dealer shall remedy to the satisfaction of BMW NA any
practice or method of operation which would have a

provisions of this Agreement or to make any amendment or modification of or
any other change in, addition to, or deletion of any portion of this
Agreement or to make any other agreement which imposes any obligation on
either BMW NA or Dealer which is not specifically imposed by this Agreement

SATELLITE LOCATION ADDENDUM
As an addendum to the BMW Dealer Agreement, dated the 1st day of February,
between BMW of North America, Inc. and JRJ Investments, Inc., the following
business and location is recognized as a satellite to the principal location
of the dealership:
Business Type: Corporation
Business Name: Xxxxxxxx Motorcars
Address: 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx.
County: Xxxxx
City: Las Vegas
State: Nevada Zip: 89102
This location is approved to perform the following functions as an authorized
BMW Satellite Operation:
New Car Sales: T
Used Car Sales: T
Service: T
Parts: T
This Satellite Addendum is subordinate to and runs concurrent with the BMW
Dealer Agreement and is subject to and governed by the same terms and
conditions as detailed in the Dealer Agreement and Dealer Standard
Provisions. The expiration or termination of the BMW Dealer Agreement shall
cause this addendum to be null and void.
This Satellite Operation is supplemental, not separate from the main BMW
Operation and therefore cannot be sold as a separate entity from the main BMW
Operation without the prior written approval of BMW NA. Any transfer or sale
of assets of this Satellite Operation without such approval shall result in
the intermediate termination of this Satellite Addendum.
This Addendum provides the dealer the first option should BMW NA determine
the need for a fully operational, independent BMW Dealership within the
immediate area of the Satellite Operation. BMW NA shall notify the dealer in
writing of this need and allow the dealer a 90 day period ("review period")
to determine their willingness to convert the Satellite Operation to a fully
functional BMW Dealership which may have common ownership with the current
BMW Dealership, and respond in writing to the Regional Manager. Should the
dealer determine that the conversion is viable then a plan for the operation,
facilities management and ownership is to be submitted at the time of
acceptance of the option. If the dealer is not willing or able to convert
the satellite to a fully functional BMW Dealership then the dealer must cease
all BMW Operations at the Satellite Location within 6 months of the end of
the review period.
The purpose of the development of this Satellite Operation is to better serve
the BMW customers. BMW NA and the dealer must share a mutual commitment to
the satisfaction of all BMW customers. BMW NA and the dealer must share a
mutual commitment to the satisfaction of all BMW Customers. As the
representative for BMW to the BMW Customers in this satellite area, the
dealer agrees that it will designate one person to oversee and facilitate BMW
customer satisfaction, that it will participate in BMW NA sponsored Customer
Satisfaction Programs and training as provided and empower its organization
to assist and satisfy all BMW customers. The dealer further commits that it
will notify BMW NA of problems which relate to product and customers to
provide BMW NA the best, most timely opportunity to make corrections and
support the overall BMW Dealer Organization's efforts to achieve the highest
levels of customer satisfaction. Should the Satellite Operation fail to
provide customer satisfaction at or above the National CSI average for a
reasonable period of time, then the purpose of this addendum shall cease to
exist and the dealer will be notified in writing that this addendum will
expire ninety (90) days from the date of the notice.
This Satellite Operation is for the sole benefit of the BMW Operation of the
dealer and therefore no other automotive line or make may be added at any
time. The addition of another line or make at the Satellite location or the
main location will immediately void this addendum and require the dealer to
cease all BMW operations at the Satellite location or else be in violation of
the BMW Dealer Agreement, Paragraph 12(9).
The dealer may void this addendum at any time by sending notice to BMW NA by
certified mail, return receipt requested, telegram, or overnight mail service
sixty (60) days in advance of the effective date.
The activities of the satellite operation are governed by the same terms and
conditions as the main BMW Operation and as such, actions and events at the
satellite could result in the termination of the BMW Dealer Agreement for all
locations.
The terms and conditions of the Letter of Intent - Satellite Location
("LOI"), a copy of which is attached hereto, is incorporated herein. If
there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of the LOI and this
addendum, the terms and conditions of the LOI shall control.
