7
(d) At Closing, the Purchaser shall have obtained title insurance policies from the Title Company (which may be in the form of a xxxx-up of a pro forma of the Title Commitments (as hereinafter defined)) in accordance with the Title Commitments, insuring the fee simple title of the Real Property Seller to the Real Property, as of the Closing Date (including all recorded appurtenant easements, insured as separate legal parcels), with gap through the date of recording, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, in the amount of the Real Property Purchase Price and including the endorsements identified herein (the “Title Policies”); the Title Policies shall have the creditor’s rights exception deleted, and shall include the following endorsements (to the extent available in Georgia, but regardless of whether any additional amount is charged for such endorsement), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser: (i) extended coverage endorsement (insuring over the general or standard exceptions); (ii) ALTA Form 3.1 zoning endorsement (with parking and loading docks), or if unavailable in Georgia, a satisfactory zoning letter from the local zoning authorities; (iii) a survey accuracy endorsement (insuring that the Real Property described therein is the real property shown on the Survey delivered with respect thereto and that such Survey is an accurate survey thereof); (iv) access endorsement (insuring that the Real Property described therein is adjacent to a public street and has direct and unencumbered pedestrian and vehicular access to such public street); (v) ALTA Form 9 owner’s comprehensive endorsement; (vi) tax parcel number endorsement (insuring that the tax parcel number in the endorsement includes all of the Real Property insured thereunder and no other real property); and (vii) if the Real Property insured therein consists of one or more adjacent parcels, a contiguity endorsement (insuring that all of such parcels are contiguous to one another without any gaps or gores which would interfere with the operation of the Business thereon following the Closing); (viii) utilities endorsement (insuring the availability of utilities to the Real Property); (ix) non-imputation endorsement (to the effect that title defects known to the Real Property Seller prior to the Closing shall not be deemed to be “facts known to the insured”); and (x) such other endorsements as reasonably requested by the Purchaser; and the Purchaser shall pay all fees, costs and expenses with respect to the Title Commitments and Title Policies. Purchaser shall proceed diligently to obtain the Title Commitments prior to Closing and the Title Policies at Closing shall use its best efforts to do so. The Real Property Seller will use its best efforts to assist Purchaser in obtaining the Title Commitments, Title Policies and surveys in form and substance as contemplated by this Agreement, within the time periods set forth therein, including removing from title any liens or encumbrances which are not Permitted Encumbrances. The Real Property Seller agrees to provide the Title Company with any affidavits as shall be reasonably requested by the Title Company to issue any title policies. Purchaser acknowledges that there is approximately four (4) acres of the Real Property which is separated from the remaining Real Property by Turkey Creek, and agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) such separation shall not be considered a gap or xxxx which would interfere with the operation of the Business thereon following the Closing, (ii) the inability or failure of any Title Company to issue a contiguity endorsement as a result of such separation shall not constitute any default by Real Property Seller or the failure of a condition precedent to Purchaser’s purchase of the Real Property at Closing, or (iii) such separation shall not be deemed to otherwise be any objection to title hereunder.
(e) The Purchaser will obtain during the Inspection Period at the Purchaser's expense a survey of the Real Property (the “Survey”). Subject to the approval of the Real Property Seller, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, the parties agree that the Survey shall form the basis for conveyance of the Real Property to Purchaser by the Real Property Seller.

The Survey shall not disclose any encroachment from or onto any of the Real Property or any portion thereof or any other survey defect (other than any survey defects which are Permitted Exceptions) which has not been cured or insured over to the Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction prior to the Closing; and the Purchaser shall have paid or committed to pay all fees, costs and expenses with respect to the Survey.

(1) A Warranty deed conveying fee simple title to the Real Property, free and clear of all liens, restrictions and encumbrances except the Permitted Exceptions (the “Warranty Deed”). The Warranty Deed shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
(2) Such documents as are reasonably required by the Title Company as a condition to insuring title to the Real Property without exceptions, other than the Permitted Exceptions, including the Real Property Seller's affidavit that no improvements, additions, alterations or repairs whatsoever have been made to the Real Property by the Real Property Seller within the last ninety-five (95) days immediately preceding Closing, or if there have been any such improvements, additions, alterations or repairs that the providers thereof have been paid in full. Provided, however, that if any such improvements, additions, alterations or repairs have been made with Purchaser’s prior agreement to pay for the same (the “Purchaser Improvements”) and Purchaser has not paid for the Purchaser Improvements at or before Closing, the Purchaser shall pay for the same at Closing and if Purchaser does not so pay for the same at Closing the inability of the Real Property Seller to provide such affidavit as to the Purchaser Improvements shall not be a default of the Real Property Seller under this Agreement and the failure of the Title Company to issue insurance as a result of such failure of Purchaser shall not be a condition precedent which will otherwise excuse Purchaser from its obligation to purchase the Real Property at Closing.
10
(3) The Real Property Seller's certificate that the Real Property Seller's representations and warranties set forth herein are true and correct as of Closing.
(4) An affidavit that the Real Property Seller is not a foreign person within the meaning of Section 1445(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(b) At Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Real Property Seller the Note, the Security Deed and the Security Agreement, all duly executed and with the Security Deed in recordable form, shall provide such assurances to the Real Property Seller as shall be reasonably requested by the Real Property Seller and its counsel that the Security Deed is and will be a first priority lien against the Real Property, and shall deliver copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of Purchaser, certified as true and correct by the Secretary of Purchaser, authorizing and approving the execution of this Agreement by Purchaser and the purchase of the Real Property hereunder and authorizing and approving the execution of the Note, the Security Deed and the Security Agreement and all other agreements, documents and instruments required under this Agreement.
(c) At Closing, the Escrow Money shall be delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement.

(a) Each of the parties shall execute from time to time upon request of the other party such documents or instruments as the other party shall reasonably request in order to more fully carry out the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If the current year's taxes are not known on the Closing Date and the proration is based upon the previous year's taxes, and Purchaser and the Real Property Seller agree to adjust between themselves any difference in the tax proration after the actual tax xxxx for the year of Closing is available.
10. Costs. The Real Property Seller shall pay the Real Property Seller's attorney's fees and all real estate transfer taxes on the warranty deed incident to this transaction.

11
11. Brokers.
(a) Except or Xxxxxxx Associates, Broker, the sole broker identified in Attachment II attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Broker”), the Real Property Seller and the Purchaser each represent and warrant to the other that no commission or fee is or will be owed for brokerage or similar services in connection with this transaction as a result of its actions, and each of the Purchaser and the Real Property Seller agrees to indemnify and hold each other harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses (including attorney's fees) that may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against such other party by reason of any action taken by the indemnifying party which results in the imposition of or assertion against such other party of any liabilities, claims, costs or expenses. This provision shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
(b) The Real Property Seller and Broker have negotiated the commission to be paid to the Broker with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby, and the Real Property Seller will pay Broker such commission. The parties acknowledge that Broker has acted for the Real Property Seller in this transaction, and has not represented the Purchaser.

14. Default and Breach.
(a) In the event the Real Property Seller defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement and shall not have cured such default within thirty (30) days after notice of such default from Purchaser, then the Purchaser may either (i) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Escrow Money, in which case neither party shall have any obligations under this Agreement (except for the Purchaser’s indemnification obligations under Section 5 and the parties’ obligations under Section 11(a), which shall survive any such termination) or (ii) pursue and obtain specific performance of such obligations under this Agreement.

15. Section 1031 Exchange. The parties agree that to enable the Real Property Seller, if the Real Property Seller so desires, to effect a "like kind" exchange under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the Real Property Seller may, by written notice given prior to the Closing, advise the Purchaser of its election to attempt such an exchange with respect to all or any portion of the Real Property Purchase Price as designated by the Real Property Seller. The Purchaser agrees to cooperate with the Real Property Seller in connection with the closing of a "like kind" exchange and to execute all documents and to perform all actions reasonably requested by the Real Property Seller in connection with any such exchange; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not as a result thereof be required to incur any additional expenses, assume any liabilities with respect to the exchange properties, take title to the exchange properties, or postpone the Closing.
16. Costs. If either party initiates any action or proceeding to enforce any of its rights hereunder or to seek damages for any violation hereof, then, in addition to all other remedies that may be granted, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs that it may sustain in connection with such action or proceeding.
17. Prior Discussions and Agreements. This Agreement supersedes all prior representations, warranties, discussions and agreements by or between the Real Property Seller and the Purchaser with respect to the purchase or conveyance of the Real Property and all other matters contained herein and constitutes the sole and entire agreement between the Real Property Seller and the Purchaser with respect thereto.
18. Survival of Provisions. Without limiting any provision hereof which provides that one or more specific covenants of a party survive any termination of this Agreement or the Closing, all covenants, warranties, representations, and agreements set forth in this Agreement will survive the Closing of the purchase and sale of the Real Property, and will survive the execution of all deeds and other documents at any time executed and delivered under, pursuant to, or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing:
(a) The Real Property Seller will have no liability with respect to the matters described in subparagraphs (a)(3) through (a)(10), and (a)(13) and (a)(14) of Section 3 of this Agreement unless Purchaser notifies the Real Property Seller of a breach thereof on or prior to the date which is two (2) years and one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date; and
13
(b) Any warranties of the Real Property Seller which are set forth in the Warranty Deed shall survive the Closing indefinitely.

21. Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties submits to the jurisdiction of any of the State Court or Superior Court of Xxxxx County, Georgia and the federal District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court.

Each of the parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto.
22. Miscellaneous. Except as expressly contemplated hereby, this Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any party other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No amendment to this Agreement shall be binding unless such amendment is in writing and executed by all parties with the same formality as this Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, administrators, executors, and permitted assigns. If any term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement shall to any extent be held by any court or tribunal having jurisdiction thereof to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and each term, covenant or condition of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia. All rights, powers, and privileges hereunder shall be cumulative with and not restricted to those given by law.

Xxx 0000, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, or at such other place as the Holder hereof may designate in writing to the Purchaser. The Purchaser may prepay this Note in full or in part at any time without notice, penalty, prepayment fee, or payment of unearned interest. All payments hereunder received from the Purchaser by the Holder shall be applied first to interest to the extent then accrued and then to principal, in inverse order of maturity.
4. This Note is secured by (i) a Deed to Secure Debt of even date herewith and executed by the Purchaser in favor of the Holder and others conveying real property lying and being in Xxxxx County, Georgia (the “Security Deed”) and (ii) a Security Agreement of even date herewith in favor of the Holder and others and the Purchaser granting to the Holder a security interest in certain personal property (the “Security Agreement”) to each of which reference is hereby made.

(ii) any installment of principal and interest hereunder shall not be paid within thirty (30) days after the due date thereof; or
(iii) during any period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months Grantor shall have failed to pay when due three (3) or more installment payments hereunder;

6. The remedies of the Holder as provided herein and in any other documents governing or securing repayment hereof shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively, or together, at the sole discretion of the Holder, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise.

8. In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, and in the event any such payment is inadvertently paid by the Purchaser or inadvertently received by the Holder, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Purchaser shall notify the Holder, in writing, that the Purchaser elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent hereof that the Purchaser not pay and the Holder not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Purchaser under applicable law.
