PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
1
This Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") entered
into as of this 31st day of October, 2007, by and between Colgate
Xxxx Xxxxx, L.L.C., a Louisiana limited liability company (the
"Seller") and AEI FUND MANAGEMENT, INC., a Minnesota corporation,
or its assigns (the "Buyer"). The date on which last party hereto
executes this Agreement is hereafter referred to as the "Effective
Date".
In consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are herby mutually acknowledged, the
parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
1. PROPERTY. Seller is the owner of a parcel of real property,
with all improvements thereon, known generally as 319 Xxxx Xxxxx
Industrial, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, currently leased for use as a
Starbucks coffee shop and drive-through , such property being
more particularly legally described on Exhibit "A" attached
hereto (collectively, the "Property"). The Property includes all
of Seller's rights and interests in and to all buildings and
other improvements on or within the Property or appurtenant
thereto, including easements, warranties, guaranties,
indemnities, and covenants, to the extent the same can be
lawfully transferred to the Buyer. Seller wishes to sell and
Buyer wishes to purchase the Property on the terms and
conditions set forth herein.
2. Lease. The Property is being sold subject to an existing
Lease of the Property, dated March 28, 2007 (the "Lease") by and
between Seller, as lessor, and Starbucks Corporation, a
Washington corporation, as lessee (the "Tenant").
3. CLOSING DATE. The closing date on the Buyer's purchase of
the Property (the "Closing Date") shall be on the later of (A)
ten (10) days from the expiration of the later of: a) the Due
Diligence Period (or an Adverse Change Review Period, if any
should be occasioned, as set forth below in Section 8.03,
whichever is later), or b) the expiration of the Seller's Cure
Period (defined below), or (B) on January 7, 2008..
The foregoing is subject to Buyer and Seller satisfying all
of its obligations herein. However, the Closing Date may be
earlier upon the mutual agreement of the parties, or extended
(such as upon the occurrence of an Adverse Change Review Period)
pursuant to other specific provisions set forth herein.
4. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price for the Property is
$1,301,000 (the "Purchase Price"). If all conditions precedent
to Buyer's obligations to purchase have been satisfied, Buyer
shall deposit the Purchase Price with the Closing Agent (as
defined below) on or before the Closing Date.
Within three (3) days of Effective Date of this Agreement,
Buyer will deposit $25,000 (the "XXXXXXX MONEY") in an interest
bearing account with First American Title Insurance Company, 000
Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxx: Xxxx Xxxxxxxx; phone
number: 000-000-0000; email: xxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx (the "Closing
Agent" or "Title Company").
If for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to the
expiration of the Due Diligence Period (or prior to the
expiration of the Adverse Change Review Period if such occurs
because of the unanticipated occurrence of Adverse Change Due
Diligence Documents as defined below), then the Xxxxxxx Money
and any interest accrued thereon shall be immediately returned
to Buyer.
If the transaction contemplated hereby proceeds to Closing,
the Xxxxxxx Money and any interest accrued thereon shall be paid
to Seller at Closing and Buyer shall receive a credit against
the Purchase Price payable hereunder in the amount of the
Xxxxxxx Money plus interest accrued thereon. If the Buyer does
not terminate this Agreement as expressly allowed hereunder, the
Xxxxxxx Money and any interest accrued thereon shall thereafter
be deemed non-refundable, except to the extent any of the
contingencies to Buyer's performance hereunder (including
without limitation, Seller's performance of its obligations
hereunder) shall not be satisfied. As used in this Agreement,
the term "Xxxxxxx Money" shall mean the amount deposited by
Buyer, together with all interest accrued thereon or deemed to
have accrued thereon, as provided above.
The balance of the Purchase Price in cash is to be
deposited by Buyer into an interest bearing escrow account with
the Closing Agent on or before the Closing Date.
5. ESCROW. Escrow shall be opened by Seller with the Closing
Agent upon execution of this Agreement. A fully executed copy of
this Agreement will be delivered to the Closing Agent by Seller
and will serve as escrow instructions together with any
additional instructions required by Seller and/or Buyer or their
respective counsels. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate with
the Closing Agent and sign any additional instructions
reasonably required by the Closing Agent to close escrow. If
there is any conflict between any other instructions and this
Agreement, this Agreement shall control.
6. TITLE. Buyer shall order upon the Effective Date of this
Agreement, at its sole expense, a commitment for an ALTA Owner's
Policy of Title Insurance (most recent edition) prepared by
Capdevielle Title Corporation, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx,
Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, underwritten and to be issued by the
Closing Agent, insuring merchantability of title in the
Property, subject only to such matters as Buyer may approve and
contain such endorsements as Buyer may require that are
available for a property in Louisiana, including extended
coverage and owner's comprehensive coverage (the "Updated Title
Commitment"). The Updated Title Commitment shall show Seller as
the present fee owner of the Property and show Buyer as the fee
owner to be insured and insuring Buyer in the amount of the
Purchase Price.
The Updated Title Commitment shall also include:
a) an itemization of all outstanding and pending special
assessments and an itemization of taxes affecting the Property
and the tax year to which they relate;
b) shall state whether taxes are current and if not, show the
amounts unpaid;
c) the tax parcel identification numbers and whether the tax
parcel includes property other than the Property to be
purchased.
All easements, restrictions, documents and other items affecting
title shall be listed in Schedule "B" of the Title Commitment.
Copies of All Documents referred to in the Updated Commitment
(the "UPDATED TITLE COMMITMENT DOCUMENTS") MUST BE ATTACHED TO
THE UPDATED TITLE COMMITMENT.
On or before the earlier of (i) ten (10) days after receipt
of the Updated Title Commitment (including the Updated Title
Commitment Documents) and the Updated Survey (as defined in
Section 8.01 below), or the last day of the Due Diligence
Period, Buyer shall examine title to the Property and make any
objections thereto, including any requests for specific
endorsements insuring over said objections or requests
(hereinafter "objections"). All such objections or requests
shall be made in writing or deemed waived.
If any objections are so made, the Seller shall be allowed
a period of ten (10) days after receipt of Buyer's objections to
respond to Buyer in writing whether or not Seller shall attempt
to cure, remove or obtain insurable title over said objections
("Seller's Title Cure Notice"). If Seller's Title Cure Notice
advises the Buyer of its election to attempt to satisfy or cure
or insure over such objections, the Seller shall have a period
of up to sixty (60) days following receipt of Buyer's notice of
objections within which to cure, satisfy or insure over such
objections (the period of time following the Seller's receipt of
objections and the date upon which the Seller satisfies,
removes, or insures over such objections is the "Seller's Cure
Period"). If Seller's Title Cure Notice advises the Buyer that
Seller shall decide to make no efforts to cure, remove or obtain
insurable title over Buyer's objections, or if Seller is unable
to cure, remove or obtain insurable title over such objections
or elects not to continue such curative efforts within the
Seller's Cure Period, as applicable, Buyer may either (a) waive
its objections or (b) terminate this Agreement by written notice
to Seller within five (5) days after the receipt of Seller's
Title Cure Notice or after the expiration of Seller's Cure
Period, as applicable. If Buyer shall so terminate this
Agreement, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned in full to Buyer
immediately and neither party shall have any further duties or
obligations to the other hereunder (except for those which
expressly survive the termination of this Agreement).
Any matters affecting title to the Property on the
Effective Date or appearing on the Title Commitment or Survey at
the end of the Due Diligence Period to which Buyer does not
object (as well as those for which Buyer's objection has been
deemed waived) shall be deemed "Permitted Exceptions". If Buyer
shall fail to terminate this Agreement within five (5) days
following the expiration of the Seller's Title Cure Notice or
Seller Cure Period, as applicable, it shall be conclusively
deemed that Buyer waived all uncured objections, which shall
thereafter constitute additional Permitted Exceptions.
The Buyer shall also have five (5) days to review and
approve any easement, lien, hypothecation or other encumbrance
placed of record affecting the Property after the date of the
Updated Title Commitment. If necessary, the Closing Date shall
be extended by the number of days necessary for the Buyer to
have five (5) days to review any such items. Such five (5) day
review period shall commence on the date the Buyer is provided
with a legible copy of the instrument creating such exception to
title.
If any further objections are so made based upon any
easement, lien, hypothecation or other encumbrance placed of
record affecting the Property after the date of the Updated
Title Commitment, the Seller shall be allowed ten (10) days
after receipt of Buyer's objections to respond to Buyer by
giving the Buyer another Seller's Title Cure Notice, in writing,
stating whether or not the Seller shall elect to cure, remove or
obtain insurable title over said objections, and if Seller
elects to undertake such efforts, the Seller shall have a
further Seller's Cure Period, not to exceed thirty (30) days
within which to doe so . If Seller shall decide to make no
efforts to cure, remove or obtain insurable title over Buyer's
objections or is not able or willing to do so within such
further Seller's Cure Period, it shall so indicate to Buyer in
writing during Seller's Cure Period and Buyer may either (a)
waive its objections or (b) terminate this Agreement by written
notice to Seller within five (5) days after its receipt of
Seller's Title Cure Notice or upon the expiration of Seller's
Cure Period, as applicable. If Buyer shall so terminate this
Agreement, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned in full to Buyer
immediately and neither party shall have any further duties or
obligations to the other hereunder (except for those which
expressly survive the termination of this Agreement).
Any matters appearing on the Title Commitment at the end of
the aforementioned five (5) day review period by Buyer to which
Buyer does not object (as well as those for which Buyer's
objection has been deemed waived) shall be deemed "Permitted
Exceptions". If Buyer shall fail to terminate this Agreement
within five (5) days period set forth above, it shall be
conclusively deemed that Buyer waived all uncured objections,
which shall thereafter constitute additional Permitted
Exceptions.
7. SITE INSPECTION. As a condition precedent to Buyer's
obligations hereunder, the Property shall be inspected and
approved by Buyer, in Buyer's sole discretion. Said inspection
shall be completed within the Due Diligence Period, and Buyer
shall provide Seller with its written notice of any disapproval
of the Premises on or prior to the expiration date of the Due
Diligence Period. If Buyer shall not give Seller any written
notice of such disapproval, this condition precedent shall be
deemed waived. Buyer agrees not to interfere with the business
of Seller or the tenant under the Starbucks Lease with regard to
the Property and Buyer shall restore the Property to the same
condition as it existed immediately prior to the conducting of
any such inspection, study or investigation immediately upon
completion of each such inspection, study or investigation
conducted by Buyer, and Buyer covenants and agrees not to allow
or permit any liens or encumbrances to arise or exist against
the Property or any part thereof as a result of any such
inspections or investigations and to immediately remove and
cause to be released of record any such liens or encumbrances
placed on the Property or any part thereof in violation of this
provision. Buyer may not perform any invasive testing or
investigations upon the Property. Buyer shall indemnify, defend
and hold Seller harmless from any and all loss, cost, expense,
damage, liability, mechanics' or materialmen's lien or claim of
lien, action or cause of action, including without limitation
reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or relating to any and
all such inspections, studies, investigations or entries upon
the Property by Buyer or its agents or representatives.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere
herein, Buyer hereby acknowledges that all information furnished
by Seller to Buyer or obtained by Buyer in the course of Buyer's
investigation of the Property, or in any way arising from or
relating to any and all studies or entries upon the Property by
Buyer, its agents or representatives, shall be treated as
confidential information and further, that if any such
confidential information is
disclosed to third parties, Seller may suffer damages and
irreparable harm. In connection therewith, Buyer hereby
expressly understands, acknowledges and agrees (i) that Buyer
will not disclose any of the contents or information contained
in any reports or studies made in connection with Buyer's
investigation of the Property, in any form whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, any oral information received by
Buyer during the course of Buyer's inspection of the Property),
to any party other than the Seller, Seller's agents or
representatives, or Buyer's agents, representatives, consultants
or potential institutional lenders, and other than as required
by applicable law or process of law, without the prior express
written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld); (ii) to furnish Seller with copies of
all reports or studies made by third parties (but not any
reports or studies generated internally by Buyer) in connection
with Buyer's inspection, study or investigation of the Property
within a reasonable time (not to exceed ten (10) days) of
receipt of same by Buyer, provided that prior to Buyer's release
of the same to Seller, the Seller reimburses the Buyer for the
expense of such reports; and (iii) that Seller is relying on
Buyer's covenant not to disclose any of the contents or
information contained in any such reports or investigations
prior to its acquisition of the Property to any third parties
other than the Seller's agents or representatives, or its
agents, representatives, consultants or potential institutional
lenders as provided above (all of which is deemed to be

The foregoing covenants and indemnity shall expressly survive
the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

commercially reasonable discretion, to matters of title, survey,
or environmental concern, which objections Seller does not cure
within sixty (60) days of Buyer having raised said objections in
writing prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period (or Adverse
Change Review Period, if applicable), then Seller's option to
terminate pursuant to this paragraph shall not apply, and Buyer
shall be free to purchase
either Property but not the other. The term "Buyer's objections,
in Buyer's sole but commercially reasonable discretion" shall
mean such adverse matters substantially similar to those matters
that have been of commercially reasonable concern to Buyer in
the past conduct of its business of acquiring commercial
properties.
