Rock Hill, South Carolina
THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the 18th day of December, 2006 (the “Effective Date”), is made by and between KDC-CAROLINA INVESTMENTS 3, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Seller”), and 3D SYSTEMS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”).
R E C I T A L S:
Seller, as landlord, and Purchaser, as tenant, have entered into that certain Lease Agreement dated February 8, 2006, by and between Seller and Purchaser with respect to the lease by Seller of the Premises described therein to Purchaser, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated August 7, 2006, but effective as of June 15, 2006, that certain Second Amendment to Lease Agreement entered into effective as of October 6, 2006 (the “Second Amendment”) and that certain Third Amendment to Lease Agreement entered into simultaneously with the date hereof (the “Third Amendment”) (collectively, the “Lease”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the covenants, promises and undertakings set forth herein, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Purchaser agree as follows:
1. THE PROPERTY.
1.1. Description. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and for the consideration herein set forth, Seller agrees to sell and transfer, and Purchaser agrees to purchase and acquire, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the real property and personalty constituting the Premises as defined in the Lease, including without limitation the following (collectively, the “Property”):
1.1.1. Certain land (the “Land”) located on the western side of Overview Drive in Waterford Business Park, City of Rock Hill, York County, South, and more specifically described in Exhibit 1.1.1 attached hereto, which Land specifically includes the Expansion Land (as defined in the Lease);
1.1.2. The buildings, parking areas, improvements, and fixtures now situated or being constructed on the Land pursuant to the Lease (the “Improvements”);
1.1.3. All furniture, personal property, machinery, apparatus, and equipment owned by Seller and currently used in the operation, repair and maintenance of the Land and Improvements and situated thereon (collectively, the “Personal Property”), and generally described on Exhibit 1.1.3 attached hereto. The Personal Property to be conveyed is subject to depletions, replacements and additions in the ordinary course of Seller’s business;
1.1.4. All easements, hereditaments, and appurtenances belonging to or inuring to the benefit of Seller and pertaining to the Land, if any;
1
1.1.5. Any street or road abutting the Land;
1.1.6. Subject to Section 3.3.1, all contracts and agreements relating to the operation or maintenance of the Land, Improvements or Personal Property the terms of which extend beyond midnight of the day preceding the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined); and
1.1.7. Subject to Section 3.3.2, all engineer’s, designer’s, manufacturer’s and builder’s guaranties and warranties relating to the Land, Improvements or Personal Property.
1.2. “As-Is” Purchase. Seller warrants the Improvements including, without limitation, the foundations, slab, structural frame, roof deck, and exterior walls of the Improvements against defective design, workmanship, and materials, latent or otherwise, for a period of one year from the date of Substantial Completion (the “Warranty Period”). Seller shall repair or replace at its sole cost and expense any defective item of Improvements occasioned by defective design, workmanship, or materials that Purchaser discovers during the Warranty Period. Upon the expiration of the Warranty Period, Seller shall cause the material and labor warranties for the general contractor, the roof on the Improvements, the window glazing and the mechanical, including HVAC, electric and plumbing systems to be assigned to Purchaser. In addition, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all other continuing assignable guaranties and warranties received by Seller in connection with the construction of the Improvements and shall perform (or cause the performance of) for the benefit of Purchaser but at Purchaser’s expense any continuing, non-assignable guaranties and warranties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller has no obligation to assign any warranty or guaranty to Purchaser if Purchaser is obligated to but has not maintained an item covered by the warranty or guaranty in good condition and repair. The obligations Seller undertakes under the terms of this subsection shall survive the Closing hereof and shall not merge into the Deed. “Substantial Completion” or “Substantially Complete” means that (i) the Improvements are substantially completed in accordance with the Final Plans and Specifications (as defined in the Lease) except for minor details of construction, decoration or mechanical adjustments which do not interfere in any material respect with Purchaser’s access to or use or enjoyment of the Improvements and (ii) a temporary or conditional certificate of occupancy or its equivalent permitting fixturing and occupancy of the Improvements has been obtained. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a certificate of occupancy from the applicable governmental authority and a certificate from Seller’s architect that the Improvements have been completed in substantial compliance with the Final Plans and Specifications shall confirm that Substantial Completion of the Improvements has occurred, absent manifest error.
Except as set forth above in this Section 1.2, the Property is being sold in an “AS IS, WHERE IS” condition and “WITH ALL FAULTS” as of the date of this Agreement and as of Closing. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to the limitations set forth in the next paragraph of this Section 1.2, no representations or warranties have been made or are made and no responsibility has been or is assumed by Seller or by any partner, officer, person, firm, agent, attorney or representative acting or purporting to act on behalf of Seller as to (i) the condition or state of repair of the Property; (ii) the compliance or non-compliance of the Property with any applicable laws, regulations or ordinances (including, without limitation, any applicable zoning, building or development codes); (iii) the value, expense of operation, or income potential of the Property; (iv) any other fact or condition which has or might affect the Property or the condition, state of repair, compliance, value, expense of
2
operation or income potential of the Property or any portion thereof; or (v) whether the Property contains asbestos or harmful or toxic substances (“Substances”) or pertaining to the extent, location or nature of Substances. The parties agree that all understandings and agreements heretofore made between them or their respective agents or representatives are merged in this Agreement and the Exhibits hereto annexed, which alone fully and completely express their agreement, and that this Agreement has been entered into after full investigation, or with the parties satisfied with the opportunity afforded for full investigation, neither party relying upon any statement or representation by the other unless such statement or representation is specifically embodied in this Agreement or the Exhibits annexed hereto.
Purchaser waives its right to recover from, and forever releases and discharges Seller, Seller’s affiliates, Seller’s investment advisor and manager, the partners, trustees, shareholders, directors, officers, attorneys, employees and agents of each of them, and their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all demands, claims (including, without limitation, causes of action in tort), legal or administrative proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs), whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen (collectively, “Claims”), that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with the Property, the physical condition thereof, or any law or regulation applicable thereto (including, without limitation, claims under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. Section 6901, et seq.), the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (42 U.S.C. Section 6901, et seq.), the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. Section 1251, et seq.), the Safe Drinking Water Act (49 U.S.C. Section 1801, et seq.), the Hazardous Transportation Act (42 U.S.C. Section 6901, et seq.), and the Toxic Substance Control Act (15 U.S.C. Section 2601, et seq.) (collectively, the “Statutes and Laws”), except, however, any claims arising under the Statutes and Laws for violations thereof caused by Seller or Seller’s agents or conditions created by Seller or Seller’s agents in the construction of the Project which were not disclosed by Seller to Purchaser through reasonably diligent efforts in conducting its investigations. Except with regard to the foregoing limitation in the preceding sentence, but without otherwise limiting the foregoing, Purchaser, upon Closing, shall be deemed to have waived, relinquished and released Seller and all other Releasees from any and all Claims, matters arising out of latent or patent defects or physical conditions, violations of applicable laws (including, without limitation, the Statutes and Laws) and any and all other acts, omissions, events, circumstances or matters affecting the Property. Purchaser agrees that should any cleanup, remediation or removal of hazardous substances or other environmental conditions on or about the Property be required after the date of Closing, such clean-up, removal or remediation shall not be the responsibility of Seller unless Seller’s actions have caused such contamination of the Property.
1.2.1. Agreement to Convey. Seller agrees to convey, and Purchaser agrees to accept, title to the Land and Improvements by Special Warranty Deed (the “Deed”) in the condition described in Section 3.4 and title to the Personal Property by Xxxx of Sale without warranty as to the title or the physical condition of such personalty.
2. PRICE AND PAYMENT.
2.1. Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property (the “Purchase Price”) is the sum of (a) TEN MILLION FORTY-EIGHT THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS
3
($10,048,000) U.S, to be adjusted pursuant to Section 7.5 below. For purposes of making the adjustments provided in such Section, attached as Exhibit 2.1 is a computation of the Purchase Price.
2.2. Payment. Payment of the Purchase Price is to be made in cash as follows:
2.2.1. On or before December 19, 2006, Purchaser shall make an xxxxxxx money deposit with the Title Company of THREE HUNDRED ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED FORTY AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($301,440.00) (the “Initial Deposit”). On or before January 2, 2007, Purchaser shall make an additional xxxxxxx money deposit with the Title Company of SEVEN HUNDRED THREE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED SIXTY AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($703,360.00) (the “Subsequent Deposit”). If Purchaser fails to deposit either the Initial Deposit or Subsequent Deposit (collectively, the “Deposit”) on or before such dates, Seller may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser. The Deposit will be placed with and held in escrow by Chicago Title Insurance Company (“Title Company”), as an agent for Purchaser and Seller, at 0000 Xxxxx Xx., Xxx. 0000, Xxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, in immediately available funds (to the extent the Deposit is in cash) in an interest-bearing account at a mutually acceptable financial institution. Any interest earned by the Deposit shall be considered as part of the Deposit. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Deposit will be applied to the Purchase Price at Closing.
2.2.2. Unless Purchaser has theretofore terminated this Contract pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof, on January 2, 2007 (the “Deposit Release Date”) the Deposit shall be deemed fully earned by Seller and be non-refundable to Purchaser, and the Title Company shall release same to Seller.
2.2.3. At Closing, Purchaser shall pay Seller the balance of the Purchase Price, subject to adjustment for the prorations as provided herein and the adjustments pursuant to Section 7.5 below to the Title Company for disbursement to Seller via wire transfer in immediately available funds.
2.3. Closing. Payment of the Purchase Price and the closing hereunder (the “Closing”) will take place pursuant to an escrow closing on or before January 31, 2007 (the “Closing Date”) unless Purchaser desires to hold the Closing on an earlier date. The Closing will take place at the offices of the Title Company at 10:00 a.m. local Rock Hill, South Carolina time or at such other time and place as may be agreed upon in writing by Seller and Purchaser. Closing shall occur through an escrow with the Title Company. Funds shall be deposited into and held by the Title Company in a closing escrow account with a bank satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller. Upon satisfaction or completion of all closing conditions and deliveries, the parties shall direct the Title Company to immediately record and deliver the closing documents to the appropriate parties and make disbursements according to the closing statements executed by Seller and Purchaser. As a condition precedent to the Closing, Purchaser shall not at such time be in default under the Lease and shall have paid all sums required under the Lease through such date to Seller including, but not limited to, the amount of any excess in (i) the Amended Project Costs, which must be approved by Purchaser, over (ii) the total Project Costs set forth in the Development Budget attached to the Lease, as provided in Exhibit F to the Lease. The Lease shall remain in effect until the Closing, but except as set
4
forth in Section 41 of the Lease (which Section of the Lease shall explicitly survive the Closing), the Lease shall terminate and be of no further force and effect after the Closing.
3. INSPECTIONS AND APPROVALS.
3.1. Inspections.
3.1.1. From the Effective Date until the Closing, Purchaser, Purchaser’s authorized agents and employees, as well as others authorized by Purchaser (“Purchaser’s Agents”), shall have full and complete access to the Property upon reasonable notice to Seller and shall be entitled upon reasonable notice to Seller to enter upon the Property to conduct and complete such investigations, inspections, evaluations, studies, tests and measurements (collectively, the “Investigations”) as Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable (including the removal of trees, shrubs, and other natural growth and features reasonably necessary in connection with such Investigations); provided, however, none of the Investigations so conducted will result in any material adverse change to the physical characteristics of the Property. If Purchaser is not satisfied with the Investigations or for any other reason, or no reason, determines that Purchaser does not want to close the acquisition of the Property pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser shall, on or before 5:00 PM Rock Hill, South Carolina time on January 2, 2007 (the period from the Effective Date until such date being the “Inspection Period”), provide written notice of termination of this Agreement to Seller and the Title Company, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and thereafter neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, other than those that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.
3.1.2. Seller has heretofore delivered to Purchaser the items related to the Property as set forth on Exhibit 3.1.2 (the “Property Reports”).
3.1.3. Purchaser agrees that, in making any non-intrusive physical or environmental inspections of the Property, Purchaser and all of Purchaser’s Agents entering onto the Property shall carry not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) comprehensive general liability insurance insuring all activity and conduct of Purchaser and such representatives while exercising such right of access and naming Seller as an additional insured. Purchaser represents and warrants that it carries not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) commercial general liability insurance with contractual liability endorsement which insures Purchaser’s indemnity obligations hereunder, and will provide Seller with written evidence of same prior to entry on the Property.
3.1.4. Purchaser agrees that in exercising its right of access hereunder, Purchaser will use and will cause Purchaser’s Agents to use all reasonable efforts not to interfere with the activity of any persons performing construction activities at the Property. Purchaser agrees to cooperate with any reasonable request by Seller in connection with any such inspection. Purchaser agrees (which agreement shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement) to provide Seller with a copy of any and all information, materials and data that Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s Agents discover, obtain or generate in connection with or resulting from its inspection of the Property under Section 3.1 hereof.
5
3.1.5. Purchaser shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly restore any physical damage or alteration of the physical condition of the Property which results from any inspections conducted by or on behalf of Purchaser. All inspections shall be conducted at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and in strict accordance with all requirements of applicable law.
3.1.6. PURCHASER AGREES (WHICH AGREEMENT SHALL SURVIVE CLOSING OR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT) TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD SELLER FREE AND HARMLESS FROM ANY LOSS, INJURY, DAMAGE, CLAIM, LIEN, COST OR EXPENSE, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS, ARISING OUT OF A BREACH OF THE FOREGOING AGREEMENTS BY PURCHASER IN CONNECTION WITH THE INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY, OR OTHERWISE FROM THE EXERCISE BY PURCHASER OR PURCHASER’S AGENTS OF THE RIGHT OF ACCESS ONTO THE PROPERTY (COLLECTIVELY, “PURCHASER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS”). THIS SECTION 3.1.6 SHALL SURVIVE CLOSING OR THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. PURCHASER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IN THE EVENT THAT PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE, PURCHASER, OR ANY OF ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, CONSULTANTS, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, HAVE ENTERED ONTO THE PROPERTY TO INSPECT, TEST, SURVEY OR OTHERWISE EXAMINE THE PROPERTY, AND THE RECORDS RELATING THERETO, THE INDEMNITY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 3.1.6 OF THE AGREEMENT SHALL APPLY RETROACTIVELY TO THE DATE OF SUCH INSPECTIONS, TESTING, SURVEYING AND EXAMINATION.
3.1.7. Except as specifically set forth herein, and the Seller’s representations and warranties regarding the Property and specifically the Plans and Specifications for the Improvements as set forth under Section 3(h) of the Lease, Seller makes no representations or warranties as to the truth, accuracy, completeness, methodology of preparation or otherwise concerning any engineering or environmental reports or any other materials, data or other information supplied to Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s inspection of the Property (e.g., that such materials are complete, accurate or the final version thereof, or that such materials are all of such materials as are in Seller’s possession). It is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that any materials which Purchaser is allowed to review are provided only for Purchaser’s convenience in making its own examination of the Property, and, in doing so, Purchaser shall rely exclusively on its own independent investigation and evaluation of every aspect of the Property and not on any materials supplied by Seller. Purchaser expressly disclaims any intent to rely on any such materials provided to it by Seller in connection with its inspection and agrees that it shall rely solely on its own independently developed or verified information.
3.1.8. Purchaser shall keep the Property free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Purchaser or Purchaser’s Agents with respect to any inspection or testing of the Property. If any such lien at any time shall be filed, Purchaser shall cause the same to be discharged of record within ten (10) days thereafter by satisfying the same or, if Purchaser, in its discretion and in good faith determines that such lien should be contested, by recording a bond. Failure by Purchaser to discharge or provide for the discharge of such lien shall be a material breach of this Agreement.
6
3.1.9. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.9 is an architect generated punch list (the “Punch List”) of remaining construction items with respect to the Improvements. On or before December 8, 2006, Purchaser shall provide to Seller in writing any additions to the Punch List desired by Purchaser (the “Purchaser Additions”), which shall be deemed to be the final, complete list of Purchaser’s required items to complete the Improvements under the Lease and this Agreement (and the provisions of this sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement). By December 11, 2006 Seller shall notify Purchaser as to the which Purchaser Additions are acceptable and shall present Purchaser with a revised Punch List based on the Purchaser Additions that are acceptable to Seller (as so amended, the “Revised Punch List”). If Purchaser deems that any Seller deletions from the Purchaser Additions are not acceptable to Purchaser, or determines that the Revised Punch List Items are not on or before December 15, 2006 completed by Seller to the satisfaction of Purchaser, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 3.1.1 above.
3.2. Title and Survey. Within five (5) business days after the full execution of this Agreement, Seller shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser a commitment for title insurance on the Land, together with copies of all items shown as exceptions to title therein, issued by the Title Company, and a current as-built survey of the Land showing all the Improvements and the Permitted Encumbrances thereon (the “Survey”). Within seven (7) days after Purchaser receives the last of the Title Commitment and the Survey, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a letter (the “Title/Survey Objection Letter”) outlining any objections that Purchaser has to any matters contained in the Title Commitment or Survey. Within four (4) days after Seller receives the Title/Survey Objection Letter, Seller shall then respond to the Title/Survey Objection Letter by providing Purchaser a letter (the “Title/Survey Response Letter”) stating those matters in the Title/Survey Objection Letter that Seller is willing to cure prior to Closing (the “Seller Cure Items”). Purchaser shall then three (3) business days in which to inform Seller that Purchaser is either (a) accepting the Seller Cure Items as the only items in the Title/Survey Objection Letter that will be cured, and waiving all other matters set forth in the Title/Survey Objection, or (b) terminating this Agreement, and in the event of such termination (i) neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than those rights and obligations that expressly survive such termination and (ii) the Lease shall remain in full force and effect. All of those items shown in the Title Commitment and Survey, other than the Seller Cure Items, shall be deemed to be approved by Purchaser and are “Permitted Encumbrances” as provided in Section 3.4 hereof.
3.3. Contracts. Seller has heretofore furnished to Purchaser:
3.3.1. All contracts and agreements relating to the operation or maintenance of the Property executed by Seller the terms of which extend beyond midnight of the day preceding the Closing Date which are identified on Exhibit 3.3.1 attached hereto (collectively, the “Service Contracts”). On or before the Closing Date, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing if Purchaser elects not to assume at Closing any of the service, maintenance, supply or other contracts relating to the operation of the. Seller shall give notice of termination of such disapproved contract(s).
3.3.2. All engineer’s, designer’s, manufacturer’s and builder’s guaranties and warranties relating to the Land, Improvements or Personal Property which are identified on Exhibit 3.3.2 (the “Warranties). To the extent that any of the Warranties are not transferable to
7
Purchaser, and at no cost or expense to Seller and at Purchaser’s cost and expense, Seller covenants to assist Purchaser in the enforcement of all such Warranties, which shall survive the Closing as a Surviving Obligation defined in Section 12.16 below .
3.4. Permitted Encumbrances. Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved and to have agreed to purchase the Property subject to the following:
3.4.1. All exceptions to title shown in the Title Commitment or matters shown on the Survey which Purchaser has approved or is deemed to have approved pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof;
3.4.2. All contracts which Purchaser has approved or is deemed to have approved pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 5.3 hereof; and
3.4.3. The lien of non-delinquent real and personal property taxes and assessments.
All of the foregoing are referred to herein collectively as “Permitted Encumbrances.”
3.5. Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. As a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close, the Title Company shall deliver to Purchaser at Closing an ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) issued by the Title Company as of the date and time of the recording of the Deed, in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring Purchaser as owner of indefeasible fee simple title to the Property, and subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. Seller shall execute at Closing Seller’s standard owner’s affidavit to facilitate the issuance of the Title Policy (but not additional matters required for any endorsements required by Purchaser). The Title Policy may be delivered after the Closing if at the Closing the Title Company issues a currently effective, duly-executed “marked-up” Title Commitment and irrevocably commits in writing to issue the Title Policy in the form of the “marked-up” Title Commitment promptly after the Closing Date. Purchaser may elect to obtain additional coverage or endorsements to the Title Policy at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense but obtaining such additional coverage or endorsements shall not be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s Closing obligations under this Agreement.
4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO PURCHASER’S OBLIGATIONS. In addition to any other conditions precedent to the performance of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, the obligations and liabilities of Purchaser hereunder shall in all respects be conditioned upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent (the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 4 being collectively referred to as the “Conditions Precedent”) as of Closing (any of which may be waived by written notice from Purchaser to Seller):

In addition, no further action shall be required as a prerequisite to the enforceability of this Agreement against Seller, in accordance with its terms.

Purchaser agrees to use its good faith, diligent efforts to cause each Condition Precedent that is Purchaser’s responsibility to attempt to satisfy under this Agreement to be satisfied as soon as reasonably possible after the Effective Date and to continue such efforts thereafter (if and as necessary to achieve such satisfaction).

If Purchaser shall become in breach of or default under this Agreement and the breach or default continues beyond the expiration of the cure period, if any, provided in Section 12.6 hereof, or if Purchaser fails to make the payments of the Carry Cost Amounts (as defined and provided in the Third Amendment), Seller may elect as its sole and exclusive remedy hereunder to either (a) retain the Deposit (including the cash portion and drawing on the Letter of Credit portion of the Deposit, as applicable) as liquidated damages, in which case both parties shall be relieved of and released from any further liability hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations, or (b) enforce Purchaser’s obligations to purchase the Property by delivering written notice to Purchaser within thirty (30) days after the scheduled Closing which describes such default and states Seller’s election to enforce specific performance and actually filing suit within such 60-day period. Seller and Purchaser agree that the Deposit is a fair and reasonable amount to be retained by Seller as agreed and liquidated damages in light of Seller’s removal of the Property from the market and the costs incurred by Seller and shall not constitute a penalty or a forfeiture. Upon Seller making the election under (a) of this Section 11.1 above, Purchaser shall have no further right to purchase the Property under this Agreement and paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Third Amendment shall be deemed to be deleted and have no further force or effect. In any event, after Purchaser’s uncured default under this Agreement, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect in the absence of a default thereunder.
11.2. Seller Default. If Seller shall refuse or fail to convey the Property as herein provided for any reason other than (a) a default by Purchaser and the expiration of the cure period, if any, provided under Section 12.6 hereof; (b) the existence of a Pending Default (as defined in and contemplated by Section 12.6); or (c) any other provision of this Agreement which permits Seller to terminate this Agreement or otherwise relieves Seller of the obligation to
17
convey the Property, Purchaser shall elect as its sole and exclusive remedy hereunder either to (i) terminate the Agreement and recover the entire Deposit, or (ii) enforce Seller’s obligations to convey the Property by delivering written notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after the scheduled Closing which describes such default and states Purchaser’s election to enforce specific performance and actually filing suit within such 60-day period, provided that no such action in specific performance shall seek to require Seller to do any of the following: (1) change the condition of the Property or restore the same after any fire or other casualty; (2) subject to Section 11.3, below, expend money or post a bond to remove a title encumbrance or defect or correct any matter shown on a survey of the Property except for a title encumbrance that is not a Permitted Encumbrance or one arising after the effective date of the Title Commitment; or (3) secure any permit, approval or consent with respect to the Property or Seller’s conveyance of the Property. Purchaser waives any right to receive damages as a result of Seller’s default. In any event, as a result of Seller’s uncured default, Purchaser shall be entitled to extend its Closing Date for a period of time equal to the number of days from Purchaser’s notice to Seller of Seller’s default until the date Seller has cured such default.
11.3. Failure of Condition. If, prior to Closing, Seller discloses to Purchaser or Purchaser discovers that (i) title to the Property is subject to defects, limitations or encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances; or (ii) any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement is or, as of the Closing Date, will be untrue in any material respect, or (iii) there is a failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 4 above, then Purchaser shall promptly give Seller written notice of its objection thereto. In such event, Seller may elect to postpone the Closing for thirty (30) days and attempt to cure such objection, provided that Purchaser may not object to the state of title of the Property on the basis of matters set out in Section 3.4 above. The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller shall have no obligation to cure any objection within (i) or (ii) above unless it is a defect caused by Seller. If Purchaser fails to waive any such objection within ten (10) days after notice from Seller that Seller will not cure the objection, Purchaser shall be entitled to elect to either (i) close under this Agreement, with a deduction of the amount reasonably necessary to cure such defect from the amount of the Purchase Price due Seller at Closing, either placed in escrow or allowed as a credit to Purchaser, or (ii) terminate this Agreement with a return of the entire Deposit to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any liability to the other except for the Surviving Obligations, and in such event the Lease shall remain in full force and effect except that paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the Third Amendment shall be deemed to be deleted and have no further force or effect. For the purposes of this Agreement, any title defect, limitation or encumbrance other than a Permitted Encumbrance shall be deemed cured if the Title Company will agree to issue an ALTA owner’s title insurance policy to Purchaser for the Purchase Price, which policy takes no exception for such defect, limitation or encumbrance and is issued for no additional premium or for an additional premium if Seller agrees to pay such additional premium upon Closing, and the Title Company agrees to continue to so insure future purchasers of the property without exception for such defect, limitation or encumbrance for no additional premium.
12. MISCELLANEOUS.
12.1. Entire Agreement.

12.3. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
12.4. Assignability. Except for an assignment to a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser with seven days prior written notice to Seller, Purchaser may not assign this Agreement without first obtaining Seller’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any assignment in contravention of this provision shall be void. No assignment shall release the Purchaser herein named from any obligation or liability under this Agreement. Any assignee shall be deemed to have made any and all representations and warranties made by Purchaser hereunder, as if the assignee were the original signatory hereto. If Purchaser requests Seller’s written consent to any assignment, Purchaser shall (1) notify Seller in writing of the proposed assignment; (2) provide Seller with the name and address of the proposed assignee; (3) provide Seller with financial information including financial statements of the proposed assignee; and (4) provide Seller with a copy of the proposed assignment.

The non-defaulting party shall promptly notify the defaulting party in writing of any such alleged breach, default or failure upon obtaining knowledge thereof. The Closing Date shall be extended to the extent necessary to afford the defaulting party the full ten (10) day period within which to cure such breach, default or failure; provided, however, that the failure or refusal by a party to perform on the scheduled Closing Date (except in respect of a Pending Default by the other party) shall be deemed to be an immediate default without the necessity of notice; and provided further, that if the Closing Date shall have been once extended as a result of default by a party, such party shall be not be entitled to any further notice or cure rights with respect to that or any other default. For purposes of this Section 12.6, a “Pending Default” shall be a default for which (i) written notice was given by the non-defaulting party, and (ii) the cure period extends beyond the scheduled Closing Date.
12.7. No Public Disclosure. Except for filings required by law, including, without limitation, filings with the Securities Exchange Commission, Purchaser and Seller shall make no public disclosure of the terms of this transaction, either before or after Closing, without the prior written consent of Seller and Purchaser, except that Purchaser and Seller may also discuss the
19
transaction in confidence with proposed joint venturers or prospective mortgagees and Purchaser may disclose same to its auditors and outside counsel, securities regulators and other governmental agencies.

INFORMATION
Except as provided in this paragraph, the term “value” means “the consideration paid or to be paid in money or money’s worth for the realty.” Consideration paid or to be paid in money’s worth includes, but is not limited to, other realty, personal property, stocks, bonds, partnership interest and other intangible property, the forgiveness or cancellation of a debt, the assumption of a debt, and the surrendering of any right. The fair market value of the consideration must be used in calculating the consideration paid in money’s worth. Taxpayers may elect to use the fair market value of the realty being transferred in determining fair market value of the consideration. In the case of realty transferred between a corporation, a partnership, or other entity and a stockholder, partner, or owner of the entity, and in the case of realty transferred to a trust or as a distribution to a trust beneficiary, “value” means the realty’s fair market value. A deduction from value is allowed for the amount of any lien or distribution to a trust beneficiary, “value” means the realty’s fair market value. A deduction from value is allowed for the amount of any lien or encumbrance existing on the land, tenement, or realty before the transfer and remaining on the land, tenement, or realty after the transfer. Taxpayers may elect to use the fair market value for property tax purposes in determining fair market value under the provisions of the law.
Exempted from the fee are deeds:
(1) transferring realty in which the value of the realty, as defined in Code Section 12-24-30, is equal to or less than one hundred dollars;
(2) transferring realty to the federal government or to a state, its agencies and departments, and its political subdivisions, including school districts;

(5) transferring realty in order to partition realty as long as no consideration is paid for the transfer other than the interests in the realty that are being exchanged in order to partition the realty;
(6) transferring an individual grave space at a cemetery owned by a cemetery company licensed under Chapter 55 of Title 39;
(7) that constitute a contract for the sale of timber to be cut;
(8) transferring realty to a corporation, a partnership, or a trust in order to become, or as, a stockholder, partner, or trust beneficiary of the entity provided no consideration is paid for the transfer other than stock in the corporation, interest in the partnership, beneficiary interest in the trust, or the increase in value in such stock or interest held by the grantor. However, the transfer of realty from a corporation, a partnership, or a trust to a stockholder, partner, or trust beneficiary of the entity is subject to the fee even if the realty is transferred to another corporation, a partnership, or trust;
(9) transferring realty from a family partnership to a partner or from a family trust to a beneficiary, provided no consideration is paid for the transfer other than a reduction in the grantee’s interest in the partnership or trust. A “family partnership” is a partnership whose partners are all members of the same family. A “family trust” is a trust, in which the beneficiaries are all members of the same family. The beneficiaries of a family trust may also include charitable entities. “Family” means the grantor and the grantor’s spouse, parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, and the spouses and lineal descendants of any the above. A “charitable entity” means an entity which may receive deductible contributions under Section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code as defined in Section 12-6-40(A);
(10) transferring realty in a statutory merger or consolidation from a constituent corporation to the continuing or new corporation;
(11) transferring realty in a merger or consolidation from a constituent partnership to the continuing or new partnership;
(12) that constitute a corrective deed or a quitclaim deed used to confirm title already vested in the grantee, provided that no consideration of any kind is paid or is to be paid under the corrective or quitclaim deed;
(13) transferring realty subject to a mortgage to the mortgagee whether by a deed in lieu of foreclosure executed by the mortgagor or deed executed pursuant to foreclosure proceedings;
(14) transferring realty from an agent to the agent’s principal in which the realty was purchased with funds of the principal, provided that a notarized document is also filed with the deed that establishes the fact that the agent and principal relationship existed at the time of the original purchase as well as for the purpose of purchasing the realty; and
(15) transferring title to facilities for transmitting electricity that is transferred, sold, or exchanged by electrical utilities, municipalities, electric cooperatives, or political subdivisions to a limited liability company which is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C.
