Section
5. Contingency
Period; Right to Continue Marketing; Restoration Rights.
5.1 Contingency
Period.
Purchaser
shall have until 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, April 13, 2008 (the “Contingency
Period”)
to
conduct a title search, feasibility studies, and any other investigation of
the
Property which Purchaser chooses to conduct, including but not limited to
environmental audits. Purchaser and Seller shall also negotiate and agree upon
the final form of a lease pursuant to Section
14
of this
Agreement. Purchaser may choose to terminate this Agreement for any reason
by
written notice to Seller prior to the end of the Contingency Period. Upon
receipt of such notice of termination, Seller shall notify the Escrow Agent
to
deliver any outstanding cost of restoring the Property as described in this
Section to Seller, with the remainder of the Deposit to be returned to
Purchaser. During the Contingency Period, Purchaser, its agents, employees,
contractors and engineers shall have the right from time to time to enter upon
the Property at their risk and expense for the purpose of inspecting the same
and conducting surveys, engineering studies, borings, soil tests,
investigations, feasibility studies, environmental audits, and the like
(individually or collectively, the “Studies”),
but
only to the extent that Purchaser has arranged a site visit at least one (1)
day
in advance with Seller, and only to the extent that Seller can accompany
Purchaser or its representative on site if Seller chooses to do so. In any
event, any such entry is at Purchaser or its agent’s sole risk. All such entries
shall be made in such a manner as to minimize interference with the use and
occupancy of the Property by Seller. During the Contingency Period, and
thereafter unless and until Purchaser delivers to Seller evidence of Purchaser’s
financial ability to complete the purchase satisfactory to Seller in its
reasonable discretion, Seller shall be permitted to continue all marketing
efforts relating to the Property and to enter into agreements for the purchase
and sale of the Property with other potential purchasers; such agreements shall
be contingent upon the termination of this Agreement. Upon written notice from
Seller, Purchaser shall immediately restore the Property, to the extent the
Property has been affected by any Studies or by entry onto the Property by
or on
behalf of Purchaser, to its prior condition at Purchaser’s sole cost.
Purchaser’s obligation to restore the Property as described in this Section
shall survive termination of this Agreement.
5.2 Title
Review.
During
the Contingency Period, Purchaser may obtain a title report or
title
insurance commitment (the "Title
Report"),
issued by a national title company (the "Title
Company").
If
there shall exist any other condition or matter affecting title to which
Purchase objects (a “Title
Matter”),
Purchaser shall, within five (5) days after receipt of the Title Report (but
in
any event prior to the end of the Contingency Period), notify Seller in writing
of any such Title Matter. Such written notice of a Title Matter shall state
Purchaser's objection with specificity and shall be limited to matters which
would render title to the Property unmarketable. If Seller does not receive
Purchaser’s written notice of a Title Matter within such five (5) day period or
by the end of the Contingency Period, whichever is earlier, then it shall be
automatically and conclusively presumed that Purchaser has waived all objections
to title. Upon receipt of such notice of a Title Matter, Seller may (i)
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser and Seller shall then
direct the Escrow Agent to return the Deposit (less any costs payable by
Purchaser as described in Section
5.1)
to
Purchaser, or (ii) elect to cure such Title Matter. If Seller elects to cure
such Title Matter and does so within 15 days after receipt of Purchaser’s
notice, or, if any such Title Matter is such that it cannot be cured within
15
days, but Seller has commenced curing such Title Matter and thereafter
diligently proceeds to perfect such cure, then this Agreement shall continue
in
full force and effect and the Closing Date shall be adjusted accordingly. If
Seller chooses not to cure a Title Matter or otherwise fails to cure a Title
Matter within the required time period, then Purchaser may either (a) waive
any
Title Matter that Seller chooses not to cure or otherwise fails to cure, and
upon receipt by Seller of such waiver in full from Purchaser, this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect or (b) Purchaser may terminate this
Agreement pursuant to Section
5.1.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
5.2,
Seller
shall remove any monetary liens applicable to the Property prior to or in
connection with Closing. If requested by Seller, Purchaser will confirm in
writing whether this title contingency has been satisfied and, if so, the date
on which it was satisfied.
If
Purchaser or any lender requests or requires the issuance of a title insurance
policy (the “Title
Policy”),
or
the issuance of such policy with extended coverage, all Title Policy premiums
shall be at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser and not Seller, and
satisfaction of such request or requirement shall not delay
Closing.
5.3 Seller
Deliveries.
Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has previously provided to Purchaser copies
of all drawings, site work plans, title policies, plats, surveys, wetland
studies, appraisals, environmental reports, leases and the like relating to
the
Property that are available to or in the possession of Seller, such documents
being listed on Exhibit
D,
attached to and made a part of this Agreement (the “Feasibility
Documents”).
Purchaser further acknowledges that Seller has provided the Feasibility
Documents solely to assist Purchaser with its evaluation of the Property, and
Seller makes no representation or warranty whatsoever as to the accuracy or
completeness of any such documents or materials provided to Purchaser. Purchaser
may not rely on Seller for the accuracy or completeness of any Feasibility
Document or related information. Purchaser shall be fully and solely responsible
for verifying any information it deems material or relevant to its evaluation
of
the Property.
Section
6. Loss
Due to Casualty or Condemnation
The
entire risk of loss by condemnation, casualty or other loss relating to the
Property shall be that of Seller. It is also understood and agreed that Seller
shall maintain, at Seller’s cost, the current level of insurance on the
Property. If prior to Closing the Property, or any part thereof, is taken by
condemnation or materially damaged, either Seller or Purchaser may terminate
this Agreement, and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, subject to
the
provisions of Section
5.1.
Section
7. Maintenance
of the Property
Between
the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall continue to maintain
the
Property in good repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. During the period
from the Effective Date to the Closing Date, Seller shall not enter into any
new
lease for any portion of the Property nor shall Seller enter into any new
contract relating to the operation of the Property without Purchaser's consent
unless the same may be cancelled on the Closing Date without cost to Purchaser.
Section
8. Broker
Purchaser
and Seller represent to each other that they have dealt with no agent or broker
who in any way has participated as a procuring cause of the sale of the
Property, except UGL Equis, who represented Seller, and Remax Sales, who
represented Purchaser. Upon Closing, Seller shall pay a commission to UGL Equis
in the amount of four percent (4%) of the Purchaser Price and shall pay a
commission to Remax Sales in the amount of two percent (2%) of the Purchaser
Price. Subject to the foregoing, each party represents and warrants to the
other
that the representing party has dealt with no real estate broker, agent or
finder other than the parties described above in connection with this
transaction, and that there is no commission, charge or other compensation
due
on account thereof. Purchaser and Seller each agree to defend, indemnify and
hold harmless the other against and from any inaccuracy in such party’s
representation. The provisions of this Section
8
shall
survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

1. Landlord,
in consideration of Tenant's covenants, leases to Tenant the entire premises,
including improvements, located at 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, as
described more fully in Exhibit
A
(the
"Property").
TERMS:
2.
(a) Initial
Term.
The
initial term of this Lease is three (3) months (the "Initial
Term").
The
Initial Term commences as of the date of Landlord’s completion of the
acquisition of the Property from Tenant, under the terms of an Agreement of
Purchase and Sale dated as of March 14, 2008 (the “Purchase
Agreement”),
the
closing date being referred to in this Lease as the "Commencement
Date."
The
Initial Term ends at 11:59 p.m., local time, on the date occurring three (3)
months after the Commencement Date (the "Termination
Date")
unless
extended pursuant to this Lease.
(b) Renewal
Terms.
The
Tenant may renew this Lease for one (1) extension term of up to three (3) months
(a "Renewal
Term").
Collectively, the Initial Term and the Renewal Term are referred to in this
Lease as the "Term."
To
exercise its right to a Renewal Term, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing
at
least 30 days before the end of the Initial Term and shall specify the new
Termination Date.
(c) Use.
Tenant
may use the Premises for any lawful purpose.
(d) Surrender.
At the
Termination Date, Tenant shall at its expense: (i) promptly surrender to
Landlord possession of the Premises (including any fixtures or other
improvements that, under the provisions of Section
5,
are
owned by Landlord) in good order and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted,
and broom clean; (ii) promptly remove from the Property Tenant's signs, goods
and effects, and any machinery, trade fixtures, and equipment that are used
in
conducting Tenant's trade or business and are not owned by Landlord; and (iii)
promptly repair any damage to the Property caused by such removal.
(e) Holding
Over.
If
Tenant occupies the Property after the applicable Termination Date or any
earlier termination, without obtaining Landlord's prior written consent, then
the following provisions apply:
(1)
|
Unless
the parties otherwise agree in writing, the holdover tenancy shall
be a
month-to-month tenancy that continues until one party notifies the
other
in writing at least 15 days before the end of any calendar month
that the
notifying party elects to terminate the month-to-month tenancy at
the end
of the next calendar month, in which event the month-to-month tenancy
shall terminate.
|
(2) Notwithstanding
anything contrary in this Lease, if Landlord has not consented in writing to
Tenant's occupancy, then the Rent for each month of the month-to-month tenancy
equals 125% of the monthly installment of the then-applicable Base Rent (as
defined in Section
3(a)).
(3)
|
Except
for Rent, the month-to-month tenancy shall be upon the same terms
and
subject to the same conditions as those set forth in the provisions
of
this Lease, except for Tenant’s right to renew this
Lease.
|
RENT:
3. As
rent
for the Property (collectively, the "Rent"),
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the following:
(a) Base
Rent—Initial Term.
During
the Initial Term, Tenant shall pay, on a monthly basis, a base rent (the
"Base
Rent")
equal
to one-third of the cost of insurance and real estate taxes applicable to the
Initial Term (that, one-twelfth of the annual cost shall be payable each month).
On the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute the Base Rent
Agreement, substantially in the same form as Exhibit
B
attached
to and made a part of this Lease, which shall set forth the Base Rent Tenant
shall pay each month.
(b)
Additional
Rent—Renewal Term.
During
the Renewal Term, Tenant shall pay, on a monthly basis, the Base Rent, plus
an
amount equal
to
the monthly interest payable by Landlord on its purchase money financing for
the
Property, based on a maximum principal amount of $630,000, at an annual interest
rate of no more than 8 %, amortized over not less than 20 years (that is, the
actual interest payable up to a maximum of $5,275 per month) (the “Renewal
Term Rent”).
(c) Additional
Rent.
During
this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord additional rent in the amount of any
payment in any provision of this Lease that accrues while this Lease is in
effect. Additional rent includes all charges or other amounts that Tenant is
obligated to pay to Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease, other
than the Base Rent and the Renewal Term Rent.
(d) Late
Payment.
Each
Rent payment shall be made promptly when due, without any deduction or set
off,
and without demand. If Tenant fails to promptly and fully pay Rent by the
15th
day of
the month, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent interest on
the
outstanding amount at the rate of 12% per annum.
(e) Miscellaneous.
The
Base Rent for the first month of the Initial Term shall be due and payable
on
the Commencement Date. Each payment of Base Rent thereafter shall be due and
payable on the same day of the month as the date on which the Commencement
Date
falls. For example, if the Commencement Date is August 15, the Base Rent for
the
second month would be due and payable on September 15. All Rent payable under
this Lease, together with all statements, notices, etc. shall be forwarded
to
the Landlord, 0000 X. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000. Tenant
covenants with Landlord to pay, without prior demand, the specified installments

an abatement of any Rent due or constitute a termination of this Lease or an
eviction of Tenant.

9. (a) Landlord's
Insurance.
Landlord shall maintain the following insurance coverage (the “Insurance
Costs”)

departments.
CONDEMNATION
AND CASUALTY:
11. If
during
the Term of this Lease any part of the Property is rendered untenantable by
condemnation by public authority, or by fire or other casualty, then Tenant
may
terminate this Lease or, at Tenant’s option, a proportionate part of the Rent
shall be abated, according to the extent of the untenantability. If Tenant
elects to remain a tenant, Landlord shall use the proceeds from such
condemnation or from the applicable casualty insurance to repair the Property
or
to make it tenantable again.
If

Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to the other,
effective as of the date of such condemnation or casualty.

the
policy.

(a) By
Tenant.
An
“Event
of Default”
shall
have occurred:

if
Tenant fails to pay any Rent within fifteen days of receiving written
notice from Landlord, then Landlord may make distress for such Rent
without notice, and recover all damages, costs, and reasonable attorneys'
fees sustained and incurred by it;
|
(ii) if
any
legal process is issued for the purpose of attaching or taking in execution
any
of Tenant's chattels located on the Property or Tenant's interest in the
Property created by this Lease and such process is not dismissed or bonded
within 30 days after its issuance;
(iii)
|
if
Tenant is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or if a receiver or
trustee
of Tenant is appointed for its business or property, or if Tenant
applies
for the benefit of any provision of the federal bankruptcy law;
or
|
(iv)
|
if
Tenant fails to fulfill any other obligation under this Lease or

Landlord.
|
(b) Landlord’s
Remedies.
Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may, at its option terminate
this Lease and re-enter the Property.
(c) By
Landlord.
A
“Landlord
Default”
shall
have occurred:
(i) if
Landlord shall breach, in any material respect, any representation or warranty
made by Landlord in this Lease;
(ii) if
Landlord shall fail to observe or perform, within any applicable time period
provided therefor in this Lease, any of the covenants, conditions or provisions
of this Lease to be observed or performed by Landlord; or
(iii) if
Landlord shall fail to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions
or
provisions of this Lease, which failure is not addressed within the scope of
clauses (c)(i) or (c)(ii) of this Section and such failure shall continue for
a
period of 30 days.
(d) Tenant’s
Remedies
In the
event of any such Landlord Default, Tenant shall be entitled to such rights
and
remedies as may be provided by applicable law. In addition to such rights and
remedies as may be provided by law, Rent shall xxxxx upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any event or circumstance which constitutes, or which
with notice and the passage of time would constitute, a Landlord Default which
materially interferes with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the
Property.
SUBORDINATION:
14. All
of
Tenant's rights under this Lease are and shall be subject and subordinate to
the
lien of any mortgage or deed of trust placed on the Property or any part
thereof, except the Tenant's property or trade fixtures, and to any and all
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, extensions, or
substitutions of any such mortgage or deed of trust (all of which are termed
the
"mortgage"
or
"mortgages").
The
subordination is automatic, without the execution of any further subordination
agreement by Tenant. If, however, a written subordination agreement, consistent
with this provision, is required by a mortgagee, Tenant shall execute,
acknowledge, and deliver it promptly. If Tenant fails to promptly execute,
acknowledge, and deliver the subordination agreement, then Landlord, as the
agent or attorney-in-fact of Tenant, may execute it on Tenant's behalf, and
Tenant irrevocably appoints Landlord its attorney-in-fact for such
purpose.
ATTORNMENT
AND NONDISTURBANCE:
15. (a) If,
at
any time during the Term of this Lease, a mortgage to which this Lease is
subordinate is foreclosed, then Tenant agrees at the election and upon demand
of
any owner (other than Landlord) of the Property, or of any mortgagee in
possession, or of any holder of a leasehold affecting the Property, or of any
purchaser at foreclosure, to attorn, from time to time, to any such owner,
mortgagee, holder, or purchaser upon the terms and conditions set forth in
this
Lease for the remainder of the Term. Tenant is not obligated to attorn unless,
if Tenant requests in writing, such holder, owner, mortgagee, or purchaser
shall
execute and deliver to Tenant an instrument by which the holder, owner,
mortgagee, or purchaser agrees that so long as Tenant performs all the terms,
covenants, and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be performed,
Tenant's possession under the provisions of this Lease shall not be disturbed
by
such holder, owner, mortgagee, or purchaser.
(b) The
foregoing provisions inure to the benefit of any owner, mortgagee, holder,
or
purchaser and apply notwithstanding that this Lease may terminate upon the
termination of any leasehold estate or upon the foreclosure, and shall be
self--operative upon any demand, without requiring any further instrument to
give effect to the provisions. Tenant, however, upon demand of any owner,
mortgagee, holder, or purchaser, agrees to execute, from time to time, an
instrument in confirmation of the foregoing provisions, satisfactory to Tenant
and to any owner, mortgagee, holder, or purchaser, in which Tenant acknowledges
the attornment for the remainder of the Term. Nothing contained in this Section
shall be construed to impair any right otherwise exercisable by any such owner,
mortgagee, holder, or purchaser.
ESTOPPEL
CERTIFICATES:
16. Each
party agrees, from time to time, within ten days after request of the other
party, to execute and deliver to the requesting party or its designee any
estoppel certificate in form and substance satisfactory to both parties, stating
that this Lease is in full force and effect, the date to which Rent has been
paid, that the requesting party is not in default (or specifying in detail
the
nature of such default), the termination date of this Lease, and such other
matters pertaining to this Lease as may reasonably be requested.
QUIET
ENJOYMENT
17. Tenant,
upon the payment of Rent and the performance of all the terms of this Lease,
shall at all times during the Term peaceably and quietly enjoy the Property
without any disturbance from Landlord or any other person claiming through
Landlord.
INSPECTION:
18. Tenant
agrees that Landlord and its agents may enter upon the Property at all
reasonable times to inspect the Property, or to make any changes or alterations
or repairs that Landlord considers necessary for the protection, improvement,
or
preservation of the Property, or to make changes in the plumbing, wiring,
meters, or other equipment, fixtures, or appurtenances of the Property, or
to
post any notice provided for by law, or otherwise to protect any and all rights
of Landlord, so long as Landlord does not reasonably interfere with Tenant’s use
of the Property. Landlord may erect and maintain all necessary or proper
scaffolding or other structures for the making of such changes, alterations,
or
repairs (provided the entrance to or use of the Property is not blocked).
Landlord is not liable for consequential damages sustained by Tenant, and Tenant
is not entitled to any abatement of Rent by reason of the exercise by Landlord
of any rights reserved by this Section unless Tenant cannot use the Property
for
Tenant’s intended purpose, as determined by Tenant in its reasonable discretion.
Tenant further agrees that at any time after 60 days prior to the termination
of
this Lease, Landlord may place any usual or ordinary "For Rent" or "For Lease"
signs on the Property.
MISCELLANEOUS:
19. (a) This
Lease and all of the covenants, conditions, and provisions set forth in this
Lease inures to the benefit of and is binding on the successors and assigns
of
the respective parties.
(b) This
Lease shall be construed and interpreted under the laws of
Maryland.
(c) The
waiver by either party or the breach of any covenant or condition of this Lease,
to be performed by the other party, or the failure of either party to insist
upon strict performance of any covenant or condition by the other party to
be
performed, shall apply to the particular incident case only, and shall not
be
deemed to abrogate such covenant or condition nor be deemed as a waiver of
any
continuing or subsequent breach thereof, but such covenant or condition shall
continue and remain in full force and effect.
(d) No
oral
statement or prior written matters shall have any force or effect after the
signing of this Lease. All such matters shall be merged into this Lease and
be
superseded by this Lease. Tenant agrees that it is not relying on any
representations or agreements other than those contained in this Lease. This
Lease shall not be modified except by a writing signed by all
parties.
(e)
Landlord
and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that neither of them has
employed any broker in procuring or carrying on any negotiations relating to
this Lease, except UGL Equis, who represented Tenant, and Remax Sales, who
represented Landlord. No commissions are payable as a result of this Lease.
Landlord and Tenant shall indemnify and hold each other harmless from any loss,
claim or damage relating to the breach of this representation and warranty.
NOTICES:
20. All
notices required or permitted to be given under the provisions in this Lease
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be properly given if delivered (a)
by
hand, or (b) by telecopy, or (c) by a nationally recognized delivery service.
