B. The Property shall include all right, title and interest, if any, of Seller in and to any land lying in the bed of any street, road, highway or avenue, open or proposed, in front of or adjoining all or any part of the Land, any and all strips, gores or rights-of-way, riparian rights and easements, and all right, title and interest of Seller, if any, in and to (a) any award or payment made or to be made (i) for any taking in condemnation or eminent domain of land lying in the bed of any street, road, highway or avenue, open or proposed, in front of or adjoining all or any part of the Land, and (ii) for damage to the Property or any part thereof by reason of any change of grade or closing of any such street, road, highway or avenue.
ARTICLE II — PURCHASE PRICE
A. The purchase price (hereinafter referred to as the “Purchase Price”) for the Property is ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 Dollars ($1,200,000.00) which is FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHT THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY AND 18/100 Dollars ($408,580.18) per acre for the Property. Subject to all prorations and adjustments provided herein, the Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:
B. Upon the execution of this Agreement, and in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration contained herein the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties, Purchaser shall pay directly to Seller the sum of THIRTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($30,000.00)(such $30,000.00 is hereinafter referred to as the “Deposit”). The Deposit is non-refundable to Purchaser except in the event of a default by
Seller hereunder. The Deposit shall be applied toward the Purchase Price due at Closing or otherwise shall be applied as elsewhere provided in this Agreement.

Subject to Article IX hereof, Seller shall be responsible for obtaining the release of the Property from any deeds to secure debt and similar instruments secured by the Property.
ARTICLE III — TITLE AND SURVEY OBJECTIONS
A. Seller has delivered a survey of the Land (which survey also includes some adjacent land owned by Seller not being conveyed to Purchaser) to Purchaser. Purchaser has obtained a Survey of the Property (the “Survey”) and shall deliver a copy thereof to Seller. Purchaser has obtained an owner’s title insurance commitment (the “Title Commitment”) issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company (herein in this capacity referred to as the “Title Company”), committing to issue to Purchaser an owner’s title insurance policy in the amount of the Purchase Price, together with legible copies of all matters referred to therein as exceptions to title (any such exceptions set forth in the Title Commitment, the “Permitted Exceptions”). Purchaser has no objections to Seller’s title to the Property or to any matters relating to the Property disclosed by the Survey.
B.

In the event that Seller fails to cure such new objections by the Closing Date (i) Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given on the Closing Date, whereupon Purchaser shall receive a full refund of the Deposit from Seller, and thereafter this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other by reason hereof except for the Inspection Indemnity, or (ii) Purchaser may cure any such new objections voluntarily created by Seller subsequent to the examination date shown on the Title Commitment which can be cured by payment of a liquidated amount of money and deduct the reasonable cost thereof from the Purchase Price otherwise payable by Purchaser at Closing, or (iii) Purchaser may waive such objections and consummate the transaction contemplated herein without reduction of the Purchase Price.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser desire that the 2012 real property taxes attributable to the Property be paid at Closing and Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to coordinate such payment.
This Article VII shall survive the Closing of the transaction contemplated herein.
ARTICLE VIII — TIME AND PLACE OF CLOSING AND CLOSING COSTS
A. The consummation of the transaction contemplated herein shall take place at the offices of Xxxx Xxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, LLP, as disbursing agent, Atlanta, Georgia, commencing at 10:00 a.m. on September 27, 2012. The consummation of the transaction contemplated herein is herein referred to as the “Closing”, and the day the Closing occurs is herein referred to as the “Closing Date”. Purchaser acknowledges that time is of the essence and that Seller requires that the Closing be consummated by the Closing Date to allow Seller sufficient time to file all requisite public disclosures for the reporting period ending September 30, 2012.
B. At Closing, Seller shall pay the Georgia transfer tax, all costs related to the release of the Property from the Deeds to Secure Debt (defined in Article IX B below) and recording fees incident to the Deed and Deed to Secure Debt. At Closing, Purchaser shall pay the cost of the Survey, all other recording fees, the cost of the title examination and owner’s title insurance premium, the costs and expenses incident to the legal subdivision of the Property, including but not limited to the work performed by Precision Planning, Inc., and all of Purchaser’s due diligence investigations and inspections with regard to the Property.

D. Possession of the Property will be delivered by Seller to Purchaser on the Closing Date subject to the Permitted Exceptions to title pursuant to Article III hereof.
ARTICLE IX — CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
Purchaser has conducted its due diligence and determined that the Property is satisfactory for acquisition and development by Purchaser and that all other conditions precedent of Purchaser have been satisfied. Purchaser shall not be required to purchase the Property unless the following condition precedent has been satisfied:
X. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., successor in interest to Wachovia Bank, National Association, releases the Property as collateral from that certain Deed to Secure Debt and Assignment of Rents dated December 6, 2006, recorded in Deed Book 47355, Page 739, Gwinnett County, Georgia, records (the “Deed to Secure Debt”). In the event that this condition precedent is not satisfied at Closing, then Seller shall return the Deposit to Purchaser, and thereafter this Agreement shall terminate and be null and void and of no further force or effect, and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other by reason hereof, except for the Inspection Indemnity (as hereinafter defined) and Broker Indemnity.
ARTICLE X - DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OR EMINENT DOMAIN
A. If, prior to the Closing Date, all of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain or same is pending, this Agreement shall terminate as of the day title to the Property or possession thereof vests in the condemning authority, the Deposit shall be returned by Seller to Purchaser, and upon such return this Agreement shall terminate and be null and void and of no further force or effect and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights, remedies, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other hereunder except for the Inspection Indemnity and Broker Indemnity. If, prior to the Closing Date, there shall be any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings instituted or pending against less than all of the Property, and same would materially interfere with Purchaser’s ability to develop the Property for Purchaser’s intended use, then Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller within five (5) days after Purchaser has received notice from Seller of such proceedings. Upon such notice to Seller the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser by Seller, and upon such return this Agreement shall terminate and be null and void and of no further force or effect and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights, remedies, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other hereunder except for the Inspection Indemnity and Broker Indemnity. Failure of Purchaser to so notify Seller and Escrow Agent within said five (5) days that Purchaser has elected to terminate this Agreement shall be deemed to mean that Purchaser has elected not to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser does not so elect to terminate this Agreement, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein without abatement of the Purchase Price, and there
shall be paid to and assigned to Purchaser at the Closing, all interest of Seller in and to any condemnation awards which have been paid or which may be payable to Seller on account of such occurrence.
ARTICLE XI — REMEDIES
A. Except for the Inspection Indemnity and Broker Indemnity, Seller’s only remedy for Purchaser’s failure to close and consummate its acquisition of the Property as herein required shall be to retain the Deposit, the amount of which shall be and constitute Seller’s liquidated damages, it being otherwise difficult or impossible to estimate Seller’s actual damages, provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the Inspection Indemnity and Broker Indemnity. Seller hereby waives any right to specific performance, injunctive relief or other relief to cause Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and Seller hereby waives any right to damages in excess of said liquidated damages occasioned by Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement, provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the Inspection Indemnity and Broker Indemnity. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that it is impossible to estimate or determine the actual damages Seller would suffer because of Purchaser’s breach hereof, but that the liquidated damages provided herein represent a reasonable estimate of such actual damages and Seller and Purchaser therefore intend to provide for liquidated damages as herein provided, and that the agreed upon liquidated damages are not punitive or penalties and are just, fair and reasonable. Seller’s right to receive the specified liquidated damages is in lieu of any other right or remedy, all other rights and remedies being waived by Seller, provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the Inspection Indemnity and Broker Indemnity.
B. Purchaser’s only remedy for Seller’s failure to close and consummate the sale of the Property to Purchaser as herein required shall be to either: (i) close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, thereby waiving such default, or (ii) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit from Seller.

To the best of Seller’s knowledge, no action by any federal, state, local, or other governmental agency or instrument is necessary to make this Agreement binding, valid and enforceable against Seller. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, neither the execution of this Agreement nor its performance by Seller will result in the breach of any mortgage, encumbrance, instrument, restriction, covenant, agreement, or other undertaking to which Seller is a party or by which Seller is bound, other than the Deed to Secure Debt as referenced in Article IX B hereof.
B. Seller has received no written notice of, and to Seller’s actual knowledge, there is not now pending, any litigation, condemnation or other legal proceeding against the Property or Seller with respect to the Property.

ACCESS EASEMENT AND LANDSCAPING AGREEMENT
THIS ACCESS EASEMENT AND LANDSCAPING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into this day of September, 2012, by and between XXXXXXX PROPERTIES RESIDENTIAL, L.P., a Georgia limited partnership (hereinafter referred to as “Xxxxxxx”) and PIEDMONT FIVE, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as “Piedmont”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Xxxxxxx is the owner in fee simple of certain property located in Gwinnett County, Georgia, and more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (“Xxxxxxx Property”); and
WHEREAS, Piedmont is the owner in fee simple of certain property located in Gwinnett County, Georgia, and more particularly described on Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (“Piedmont Property”); and
WHEREAS, in connection with the sale from Xxxxxxx to Piedmont of 2.937 acres of the Piedmont Property, Piedmont desires to obtain from Xxxxxxx, and Xxxxxxx desires to grant to Piedmont, an access easement over a portion of the Xxxxxxx Property more particularly described in Exhibit “C” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Access Easement Area”) to provide vehicular and pedestrian access to and from the Piedmont Property to and from Peachtree Parkway (Georgia Highway 141); and
WHEREAS, in connection with the sale from Xxxxxxx to Piedmont of 2.937 acres of the Piedmont Property, Xxxxxxx and Piedmont have agreed to designate a landscape strip on the Piedmont Property for the benefit of the Xxxxxxx Property, and desire to memorialize their agreement herein; and
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of Ten and No/100ths Dollars ($10.00), and in consideration of the premises, mutual promises and covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
l. Incorporation of Recitals. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are expressly incorporated herein by this reference.
2. Access Easement. Xxxxxxx hereby grants to Piedmont, its successors, assigns, agents, tenants and invitees, a perpetual non-exclusive access easement (the “Access Easement”) over, across and upon the Access Easement Area, shown as Exhibit C-1 and a road to be constructed within a portion of the Access Easement Area for the purpose of providing vehicular and pedestrian ingress and egress to and from the Piedmont Property to and from Peachtree Parkway (Georgia Highway 141). Further, Xxxxxxx hereby grants to Piedmont, its successors, assigns, agents, tenants and invitees, a temporary construction easement over, across and upon the area shown in Exhibit “C-2” as the “Temporary Construction Easement” for the purpose of Piedmont’s construction of a driveway, curb cuts, and related improvements within the Access Easement Area (the “Temporary Construction Easement”) pursuant to Section 3 below. The Temporary Construction Easement shall automatically terminate at such time as the driveway, curb cuts and related improvements are constructed and completed.
3. Construction and Maintenance of Easements. Xxxxxxx (and all references to Xxxxxxx herein shall include any transfer of the Xxxxxxx Property, its successors and assigns) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to construct the driveway, curb cuts and related improvements within the Access Easement Area prior to July 31, 2013. Xxxxxxx shall provide construction plans and detailed cost estimates to Piedmont for Piedmont’s approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) prior to the commencement of construction. Such approval shall occur within 15 business days of the receipt of the construction plans and detailed cost estimates. Xxxxxxx shall initially pay all construction and maintenance costs, provided that Piedmont shall reimburse Xxxxxxx for one-half of all construction and maintenance costs of the driveway, curb cuts and related improvements located within the Access Easement Area. In the event that Xxxxxxx elects not to construct the driveway, curb cuts and related improvements on or before July 31, 2013, then Piedmont shall have the right to install a temporary driveway at its sole cost and expense, and in the event that Piedmont constructs such temporary driveway, then Piedmont shall have no obligation to contribute to, nor reimburse Xxxxxxx for, the cost to construct the final and permanent driveway. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the applicable governmental entity requires Piedmont to construct the permanent driveway, then Piedmont shall provide construction plans and detailed cost estimates to Xxxxxxx for Xxxxxxx’ approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) prior to the commencement of construction. Such approval shall occur within 15 business days of the receipt of the construction plans and detailed cost estimates. Piedmont shall then initially pay all construction and maintenance costs, provided that Xxxxxxx shall reimburse Piedmont for one-half of all construction and maintenance costs of the driveway, curb cuts and related improvements located within the Access Easement Area. Once the permanent driveway is completed, Xxxxxxx shall be obligated to maintain and repair the
driveway improvements at its sole cost and expense, subject to Piedmont reimbursing Xxxxxxx for one-half of said cost. The party constructing the driveway, curb cuts and related improvements shall have the sole and exclusive right to use the aforesaid driveway, curb cuts and related improvements until such time as the non-constructing party pays in full all amounts owed for reimbursements for construction costs as set forth in this Section 3. The amount of said reimbursement amount shall be deemed a lien against the property of the non-constructing party until paid, and the constructing party shall have a right to file a lien in the manner described in Section 5 below. All construction costs, all maintenance costs and any other amounts to be paid or reimbursed under this Agreement shall be paid within twenty (20) days of written demand (which shall include all invoices and supporting documentation of all such costs incurred and to be reimbursed) from the party seeking said reimbursement.
4. Landscaping Agreement. Xxxxxxx acknowledges that Piedmont intends to attempt to rezone a portion of the Piedmont Property to a commercial zoning classification. In connection with said rezoning, Piedmont intends to request from the applicable zoning authority a variance related to any landscaping or other buffers set forth in said zoning classification to instead allow for landscaping strips along the side and rear of the Piedmont Property. Xxxxxxx agrees to support, at no cost to Xxxxxxx, Piedmont’s application or petition to the applicable governmental authority related to said reduction or variance, provided, however, that any such reduced landscape strip shall not be less than (i) twenty (20) feet in width from the rear of the Piedmont Property, and (ii) twenty-five (25) feet in width from the side of the Piedmont Property (said rear and side buffer together, the “Landscape Strip”). Piedmont shall install and maintain landscaping and landscaping barriers within the Landscape Strip pursuant to a landscaping plan to be agreed upon and approved in writing by Xxxxxxx in its reasonable discretion and the applicable governmental authority. In the event that Piedmont fails to maintain the Landscape Strip in accordance with the aforementioned approved landscaping plan, then Xxxxxxx shall have the right to enter upon the Landscape Strip and perform any maintenance, installation or other curative work to conform the Landscape Strip to the approved landscaping plan and be reimbursed for such costs by Piedmont in accordance with the Agreement.
5. Default. If any party (the “Defaulting Party”) to this Agreement fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, then the other party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) shall have all remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, the right to specific performance and injunctive relief), however, the parties hereto hereby agree that any claim for damages relating to any breach or default of any provision of this Agreement shall be limited to the equity in the respective properties. In the event of a default, the Non-Defaulting Party shall give the Defaulting Party written notice of such default, except that no such notice shall be required in the case of an emergency. The Defaulting Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice in which to cure the default. If such default is not cured within the thirty (30) day period, the Non-Defaulting party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such default on behalf of the Defaulting Party and provide an invoice to the Defaulting Party for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the curing of such default. The Defaulting Party shall reimburse the Non-Defaulting Party for such costs and expenses within twenty (20) days after the receipt of such invoice. In the event that the Defaulting Party fails to reimburse the Non-Defaulting Party within such time period, the amount due shall bear interest at the greater of ten percent (10%) per annum
or the highest rate allowed by law until paid. Any claim for payment hereunder, together with interest thereon, shall constitute a lien against the Defaulting Party’s property, however, the lien shall not attach to such property or become effective until it has been filed of record in Gwinnett County, Georgia, and specifying therein: (i) the name of the lienor, (ii) the basis for the claim, including a reference to this Agreement, and the relevant recording information, (iii) the amount of such claim, (iv) the name of the Defaulting Party, (v) the legal description of the Defaulting Party’s property against which the lien is to be filed and (vi) a certification stating that the Defaulting Party has been provided with a copy of the lien in accordance with this Paragraph 5. The Non-Defaulting Party shall have the right to enforce such lien in any judicial proceedings. Any party requesting an estoppel certificate concerning this Agreement shall be entitled to rely on an estoppel certificate from the record title owner of the Xxxxxxx Property or the Piedmont Property, as the case may be, at the time the estoppel certificate is requested. Any estoppel certificate requested from either the owner of the Xxxxxxx Property or the Piedmont Property shall be given within fifteen (l5) days of a written request, and if no response is given within such time frame, the party requesting such estoppel certificate shall be entitled to conclusively presume that no amounts are owing from the party in question and no lien rights other than those then of record exist with respect to the party in question. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in any other provisions hereof, as to subdivided portions of the Piedmont Property which are sold, transferred or conveyed to parties other than Piedmont, such third party owners may obtain a release from any claim of lien filed hereunder by paying a proportionate part of the amount claimed due under the lien, computed by multiplying the amount claimed due by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of acreage contained in the third party owner’s subdivided property and the denominator of which is the total amount of acreage on the date of this Agreement in the Piedmont Property.
6. Traffic Safety. Xxxxxxx shall have the right to impose and enforce reasonable traffic rules and traffic safety regulations in connection with the use of the Access Easement Area by any party.
7. Taxes and Assessments. The owner of the Xxxxxxx Property and the owner of the Piedmont Property, respectively, shall be solely responsible for payment of all taxes and assessments levied against their respective properties.
8. Use of Easements. The easements, rights and privileges set forth herein shall be for the benefit of Piedmont, and its successors and assigns, and Xxxxxxx, and its successors and assigns, and their tenants and their tenants’ respective licensees, customers, employees, agents, invitees, successors and assigns. The easements, rights, privileges, restrictions, benefits and obligations hereunder shall be covenants running with the land.
9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and, except as specifically provided for herein, may not be amended, waived or discharged, except by an instrument in writing executed by Piedmont and Xxxxxxx (or their respective successors and assigns), and their respective mortgagees, to the extent necessary, and which written document shall be recorded in the public records of Gwinnett County, Georgia.
10. Effective Date. This Agreement shall be effective upon its full execution, whereupon it shall be recorded in the public records of Gwinnett County, Georgia.
11. Notices. Any notice or other communication by either party to the other shall be in writing and shall be given and deemed to have been given when delivered personally, delivered by overnight courier or three (3) days after being mailed postage prepaid, registered or certified addressed as follows (or to such other address or officer as either party may designate by written notice to the other party):

BERM AGREEMENT
THIS BERM AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into this day of September, 2012, by and between XXXXXXX PROPERTIES RESIDENTIAL, L.P., a Georgia limited partnership (hereinafter referred to as “Xxxxxxx”) and PIEDMONT FIVE, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as “Piedmont”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Xxxxxxx is the owner in fee simple of certain property located in Gwinnett County, Georgia, and more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (“Xxxxxxx Property”); and
WHEREAS, Piedmont is the owner in fee simple of certain property located in Gwinnett County, Georgia, and more particularly described on Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (“Piedmont Property”); and
WHEREAS, in connection with the sale from Xxxxxxx to Piedmont of 2.937 acres of the Piedmont Property, the parties have agreed that a large berm, located on the Piedmont Property and partially on the Xxxxxxx Property must be removed to allow for the development of both the Piedmont Property and the Xxxxxxx Property, and the parties hereto desire, among other things, to grant such easements necessary to allow for the berm to be removed, and to set forth the terms and conditions for the berm removal; and
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, mutual promises and covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
l. Incorporation of Recitals. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are expressly incorporated herein by this reference.
2. Grading Easement. Piedmont hereby grants to Xxxxxxx, and Xxxxxxx’ successors and assigns, an exclusive grading easement (the “Grading Easement”) in, to, over, under, and across the portion of the Piedmont Property shown as the cross-hatched area in Exhibit “C” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Grading Easement Area”), to provide Xxxxxxx access to the Grading Easement Area for the purpose of removing a natural berm located within the Grading Easement Area in accordance with a grading plan which shall be prepared by Xxxxxxx at its sole cost and expense and provided to Piedmont for its reasonable approval prior to the commencement of construction (the “Grading Plan”). Such approval shall occur within 15 business days of the receipt of the Grading Plan. Xxxxxxx will be responsible for all costs of permitting and construction related to the said berm removal and grading. The Grading Plan shall provide, among other things, that the graded elevation of the Grading Easement Area after removal of the berm shall be no higher than 1015 feet. Additionally, the Grading Plan will provide that the berm is removed and that the Xxxxxxx Property is graded to an extent that no retaining walls or any other slope maintenance facilities will be required on the Piedmont Property after the berm is removed and the grading is completed. Xxxxxxx shall have the right to all the dirt removed from the Grading Easement Area, and Xxxxxxx may use said dirt to level, balance, and grade the Xxxxxxx Property and/or the Grading Easement Area pursuant to the Grading Plan.
3. Timing of Berm Removal and Rights of Piedmont. Xxxxxxx shall provide written notice to Piedmont, on or before March 31, 2013, of its intention to remove the berm and perform the grading (“Removal Notice”), it being acknowledged by the parties hereto that Xxxxxxx has the right, but not the obligation, to perform said berm removal and grading. In the event that Xxxxxxx provides the Removal Notice, the removal of the berm and requisite grading in accordance with the Grading Plan shall be performed by Xxxxxxx at the sole cost and expense of Xxxxxxx and will be completed by July 31, 2013. In the event that Xxxxxxx fails to provide the Removal Notice or notifies Piedmont that it does not intend to remove the berm and perform the grading by July 31, 2013, then Piedmont agrees that it shall be fully responsible for the removal of the berm and the requisite grading as set forth in the Grading Plan, at Piedmont’s sole cost and expense, by July 31, 2013. In the event that Piedmont is required to remove the berm, all dirt removed shall be disposed of by Piedmont in its sole discretion. Further, Xxxxxxx hereby grants to Piedmont, and Piedmont’s successors and assigns, an exclusive grading easement (the “Xxxxxxx Grading Easement”) in, to, over, under, and across the portion of the Xxxxxxx Property shown as the cross-hatched area in Exhibit “D” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Xxxxxxx Grading Easement Area”), to provide Piedmont access to the Xxxxxxx Grading Easement Area for the purpose of removing any portion of the natural berm located within the Xxxxxxx Grading Easement Area in accordance with the Grading Plan.
4. Use of Easements. The easements, rights and privileges set forth herein shall be for the benefit of Piedmont and Xxxxxxx, and their respective successors and assigns. The easements hereunder shall be a covenant running with the land. The easements granted herein shall automatically terminate at such time as the berm is removed as provided in the Grading Plan.
5. Indemnity. Xxxxxxx hereby expressly indemnifies, saves and holds harmless Piedmont from any and all liabilities, claims, costs, damages and expenses of whatsoever nature or form in any way or manner arising from, through, out of or associated or connected with any work performed by Xxxxxxx on or use by Xxxxxxx or their agents of the Piedmont Property or any portion thereof. Piedmont hereby expressly indemnifies, saves and holds harmless Xxxxxxx from any and all liabilities, claims, costs, damages and expenses of whatsoever nature or form in any way or manner arising from, through, out of or associated or connected with any work performed by Piedmont on or use by Piedmont or their agents of the Xxxxxxx Property or any portion thereof. Further, and despite anything contained to the contrary in any other provision hereof, in no event shall either party be responsible for any special damages, consequential damages, exemplary damages, bad faith damages, punitive damages or attorney’s fees in connection herewith.
6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and, except as specifically provided for herein, may not be amended, waived or discharged, except by an instrument in writing executed by Piedmont and Xxxxxxx (or their respective successors and assigns), and their respective mortgagees, to the extent necessary, and which written document shall be recorded in the public records of Gwinnett County, Georgia.
7. Effective Date. This Agreement shall be effective upon its full execution, whereupon it shall be recorded in the public records of Gwinnett County, Georgia.
