The Initial Payment may be made by check subject to collection and shall be paid directly to Seller; the balance of the Land Component Cost shall be paid directly to Seller upon Purchaser taking occupancy of the Temporary Banking Facility (as hereinafter set forth in Paragraph 2). To the extent used by Seller for payment of Purchaser’s prorata share of Building Costs incurred during the Design Period, the Initial Payment shall be non-refundable.
1.2 The Building Cost Component. The cost of design and construction of the Building shall be paid equally by Seller and Purchaser. Such Building Costs shall include, but not be limited to, architectural fees, permitting and impact fees (but not to include any re-zoning or site development plan approval costs), all Building construction costs including fill, vertical construction costs [other than Purchaser’s Internal Improvements Costs which shall be payable by Purchaser (See sub-paragraph 1.3 hereinbelow)], general contractor’s fee specifically including general contractor’s over-head and profit, landscaping architect fee, landscaping, financing, and legal costs, development costs including construction and project management fees, and any other mutually agreed upon costs necessary to design and construct the Building. During the Development Period, Seller and Purchaser shall agree on the design of the Building and on the Building’s plans and specifications.

Seller shall manage the construction of the Building and the infrastructure improvements serving the Building and the remainder of Capital Center. Seller acknowledges that the cost of such project infrastructure (the “Infrastructure Improvements”) shall not be included in the Building Cost Component and shall be at the sole cost and expense of Seller (e.g., the cost of internal roadways, drainage from the Building site, and the stubbing of utility services to the property line shall be at the sole cost and expense of Seller as the developer of Capital Center).

Upon expiration of the Design Period, Purchaser shall fully reimburse Seller for Purchaser’s prorata share of the Building Cost Component actually incurred by Seller if such total costs are in excess of ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($150,000.00) it being the parties intent that the foregoing $75,000 initial expense reimbursement limitation is intended solely to accommodate Purchaser’s cash flow during the Design Period and not to allocate any excess costs to Seller.

In the event this agreement is so terminated, Seller shall refund that portion of the Initial Payment, if any, not used for payment of Building Costs during the Design Phase to Buyer, it being the intent of the parties that Purchaser be responsible for its prorata share of actual Building Costs incurred during the Design Phase.

The costs of all internal “tenant-type” improvements, and the cost of all special equipment exclusively serving Purchaser’s portion of the Building shall be payable by Purchaser.

Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that because of Xxxxxxx County, Florida subdivision and platting restrictions, no fee simple deed to a specific parcel of land in the Capital Center Project shall be delivered to Purchaser upon closing of the Land Component; instead, a deed to the Bank Condominium Unit shall be delivered to Goodlette Coleman & Xxxxxxx, P.A., as Escrow Agent, to be held in escrow pending completion of the Building and recording of the Condominium Documents (as hereinafter defined); provided, however, upon taking occupancy of the Temporary Bank Facility and payment of the Land Cost Component to Seller, Seller shall deliver a warranty deed to a fractional interest in the Capital Center Parcel in the amount of square footage in the Building to be occupied by Purchaser divided by 142,000, being the total square footage in Capital Center, it being the intent of the parties however, that Purchaser shall have no development rights in the Capital Center Project other than with respect to the 12,000 square feet in the Building to be designated as the Bank Condominium Unit.
