AFIDA Proceeding Sample Clauses

AFIDA Proceeding. During 1998 and 1999, Seller received multiple Notices of Violation from the U.S. Department of Agriculture ("USDA") with respect to the failure by Seller to make required filings under the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978 ("AFIDA") with respect to the Real Property. These filings were required as a result of the acquisition of an interest in Container Corporation of America (n/k/a Jefferson Smurfit Corporation (U.S.)) by an entity controlled by Smurfit Group plc in 1986, at which xxxx Xxxxxx became a "foreign person" for purposes of AFIDA. Seller is currently engaged in negotiations with the Appeals and Litigation Group of the Farm Service Agency within the USDA. One settlement proposal under discussion includes the donation of approximately 1,000 acres to the University of Florida or some other appropriate entity which is adjacent to a research forest used by the University. The sale of the Real Property contemplated by this Agreement will require an additional filing by Seller under AFIDA which must be made within 90 days after Closing. The obligation to make this filing is Seller's and not Purchaser's unless Purchaser is itself a "foreign person" for purposes of AFIDA.
