Money Deposit shall earn interest at the highest available rate, and any
interest accrual shall belong to the party entitled to the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit
in accordance with this Agreement.
2.2 Funds at Closing. At Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the balance
of the Purchase Price, which balance shall be paid in immediately available good
funds.
SECTION 3. TITLE MATTERS.
3.1 Permitted Exceptions. Seller shall transfer and convey its right, title
and interest in the Property to Purchaser, subject only to such matters as
Purchaser may waive or consent to pursuant to Section 3.3, the CC&R's referred
to in Section 11 hereinafter, and the matters shown on the Plat referred to in
Section 10.6 (the "Permitted Exceptions").
3.2 Title Documents. On or before thirty days (30) after the Effective
Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at Seller's expense the following title
evidence covering the Property (collectively, the "Title Documents"):
(a) Title Commitment. A title insurance commitment (the "Title
Commitment") issued by the Title Company showing the status of record title to
the Property, together with copies of all recorded documents referred to in the
Title Commitment. The Title Commitment must commit to insure title to the
Property in the name of the Purchaser in the full amount of the Purchase Price,
subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. The Title Commitment shall further
commit to delete the standard printed exceptions. Seller shall, at its expense
and promptly after Closing, cause the owner's policy of title insurance to be
issued to Purchaser pursuant to the Title Commitment.
(b) Tax Certificate. A certificate of taxes due covering the Property
prepared by the Treasurer of El Paso County, Colorado.
(c) Survey. A land survey plat (as defined in Section 00-00-000,
Colorado Revised Statutes) of the Property, prepared by a licensed Colorado
surveyor, which shall comply with ALTA 1992 Standards for an Urban Class survey
(the "Survey"). The Survey shall contain a legal description of the Property and
shall show the bearing and distances of all boundary lines of the Property, all
improvements to the Property, all easements and other title matters encumbering
or appurtenant to the Property, the location of all dedicated public
rights-of-way adjacent to the Property, any encroachments onto or off of the
Property, the Federal flood zone designation and any other matters that would be
disclosed by an accurate survey of the Property, including the square footage of
the Property. The Survey shall also contain the certification of the surveyor
sufficient for deletion of the standard survey exception from the Title
Commitment, and shall be certified to Purchaser and Purchaser's lender, if any.
If the square footage of the Property as determined by the Survey is different
than 65,892 square feet, then the Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased
at the rate of $10.00 per square foot for every square foot by which the area of
the Property exceeds or is less than 65,892 square feet.
3.3 Defects of Title. Purchaser shall have the right to object to any
defect of title which appears in the Title Documents and which renders title to
the Property unmerchantable or which makes the Property unsuitable for
Purchaser's Intended Use (a "defect of title"). Any objection to a defect of
title must be in writing and must be received by Seller no later than the
expiration of the Inspection Period (as defined in Section 4.2). Purchaser's
failure to provide Seller with written notice of an objection to any title
matter appearing in the Title Documents within the Inspection Period shall be
deemed to be a waiver by Purchaser of any objection it might otherwise have; and
all such title matters shall become additional "Permitted Exceptions."
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a defect of title is not revealed in the Title
Documents and is discovered by Purchaser after the close of the Inspection
Period, Purchaser shall have until five (5) days after the date of its discovery
of the defect of title or the date of Closing, whichever is earlier, to provide
Seller with notice of its objection to the defect of title, provided, however,
that Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved and accepted any matters that
are shown on the Plat as described in Section 10.6. If Seller receives timely
written notice from Purchaser of a defect of title, Seller shall have the right,
in its sole discretion, to (a) correct or cure the defect of title, (b) obtain
title insurance over the defect of title through title policy endorsement or
otherwise, or (c) notify Purchaser that Seller does not intend to cure or insure
over the defect of title. If Seller is unable or unwilling to cure or insure
over a defect of title, Purchaser shall have the right to either (a) terminate
this Agreement and its obligations hereunder, or (b) waive its objection to the
defect of title. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, the Title
Company shall return the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit to Purchaser and neither party
shall have any further obligation hereunder. If Purchaser elects to waive its
objection to the defect of title, the title matter objected to shall thereafter
be considered a "Permitted Exception." A defect of title, regardless of its
disposition under this Section, shall not result in a reduction of the Purchase
Price.
SECTION 4. INSPECTION OF PROPERTY.
4.1 Inspection Items. Seller shall, on or before fifteen (15) days after
the Effective Date, deliver to Purchaser copies of all studies or reports in
Seller's possession with respect to soils, engineering and environmental

action by the City of Colorado Springs to condemn a sewer line on the west side
of the Center.
4.2 Inspection Period. Purchaser shall have from the Effective Date through
forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date, (the "Inspection Period"), in

and other governmental regulations), which determination shall be in Purchaser's
sole discretion. At anytime during the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall have
the right to terminate this Agreement and all of its obligations hereunder by
providing written notice to Seller of its election to terminate. Upon receipt of
such a notice of termination by Seller, this Agreement shall be automatically
terminated without further action by either party. Upon termination, the Title
Company shall immediately return the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit to Purchaser.

expenses (including lien and personal injury claims, settlement and reasonable
attorneys' fees) which arise from such entry and work, and which may be asserted
against Seller, the Center or the Property.

accurate information available to Seller at the time of its preparation. In the
event that unforeseen events occur (such as, for example, City imposed

approval of the Concept Plan and the Plat, will require Seller agree to complete
the Off Site Development Work, and to post with the City a letter of credit

required by the City. Seller shall be responsible for obtaining the City's
approval of the Concept Plan and Plat.
10.7 Seller's Plat Responsibilities. Contingent upon Closing, Seller shall
be responsible for all improvements, fees and agreements with the City
concerning either installation of improvements or provisions for public

right, in its sole discretion, to (a) correct or cure the Disapproval, or (b)
notify Purchaser that Seller does not intend to cure the Disapproval. If Seller
is unable or unwilling to cure the Disapproval, Purchaser shall have the right
to either (a) terminate this Agreement and its obligations hereunder, or (b)

connection with the Property or any promotion of it, unless Seller has given its
prior written approval to such use.
SECTION 14. CONDEMNATION. If, between the Effective Date and Closing, any
portion of the Property is taken in condemnation, Purchaser shall have the
option to terminate this Agreement and its obligations hereunder. The option to
terminate contained in this Section must be exercised by written notice to
Seller no later than ten (10) business days after Purchaser is notified in
writing by Seller or others of the condemnation. If Purchaser exercises its
option to terminate in accordance with this Section, the Title Company shall
return the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit to Purchaser and neither party shall have any
further obligation hereunder. If Purchaser does not exercise its option to
terminate as provided in this Section, the Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect. In such event, the Purchase Price shall be paid by Purchaser
at Closing without reduction, but Seller shall remit to Purchaser all awards
received by Seller as a result of the condemnation.
SECTION 15. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES. In the event of default by either party
under this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller agree as follows:
15.1 Default by Purchaser. If Purchaser shall default in the performance of
its obligations hereunder, Seller's sole and only remedy shall be to terminate
this Agreement and to retain the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit as liquidated damages.
15.2 Default by Seller. If Seller shall default in the performance of its
obligations hereunder, Purchaser shall have the right to either (a) terminate
this Agreement and to obtain the return of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, or (b)
enforce this Agreement through an action for specific performance and damages.
Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that if Purchaser elects to recover damages
from Seller, Purchaser's damages shall not exceed $50,000, and Purchaser hereby
waives its right to recover damages from Seller in excess of such amount,
including without limitation any loss of profits, consequential damages,
punitive damages or any other damages or losses suffered by Purchaser in
connection with this Agreement.
SECTION 16. BROKERS. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that,
other than Highland Commercial Group, LLC, and MarTec Commercial Real Estate
(together, "Broker"), no broker or finder has been engaged by Seller in
connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller
further represents and warrants that no person or entity, other than Broker, now
claims or will claim any commission, finder's fee or other amounts by, through,
under or as a result of any relationship with Seller because of such
transactions. Seller agrees to pay Broker a commission equal to ten percent
(10%) of the Purchase Price, which commission shall not be earned or payable
until the occurrence of the Closing and Seller's receipt of the Purchase Price.
In the event of a termination of this Agreement, Broker shall have no right to
share in the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit if retained by Seller. Purchaser represents
and warrants to Seller that no broker or finder has been engaged by Purchaser in
connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Purchaser further represents that no person or entity, other than Broker, claims
or will claim any commission, finder's fee or other amounts by, through, under
or as a result of any relationship with Purchaser because of such transactions.
Each party agrees to hold the other party harmless from and against any and all
costs, expenses, claims, losses or damages, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, resulting from any breach of the representations and warranties contained
in this Section.
SECTION 17. ASSIGNMENT. Purchaser shall not have the right to assign all or
any part of its interest or rights under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of Seller, except for an assignment to an affiliate. For
purposes hereof, "affiliate" means any person or entity which controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with, the Purchaser. A person or
entity shall be deemed to have control of another person or entity if such
person or entity directly or indirectly or acting in concert with one or more
persons and/or entities, or through one or more subsidiaries, owns, controls or
holds with power to vote more than 15 percent of the voting shares or rights of

RECITALS
X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx entered into a certain Agreement for the Purchase and
Sale of Commercial Real Estate dated _______, 1999 (the "Contract"), whereby
Xxxxxx agreed to sell to Xxxxxx, and Xxxxxx agreed to buy, certain real property
located in El Paso County, Colorado, as more particularly described on Exhibit A
attached hereto (the "Property").
B. As partial consideration for Xxxxxx'x purchase of the Property, Xxxxxx
agreed to install certain on site improvements and off site improvements.
C. Some or all of the on site improvements ("On Sites") listed on Exhibit B
have not been completed or paid to date. However, the parties nonetheless desire
to close the transaction provided for in the Contract.
D. To ensure that the On Sites will be completed and paid for in a timely
manner, Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx have agreed to close on the date hereof and Xxxxxx has
agreed to deposit with Escrow Agent, pursuant to the terms of this Escrow
Agreement, the sum of $___________ (the "Funds").
E. The Closing shall be completed today, and the Escrow Agent shall hold
the Funds to disburse the Funds post-closing pursuant to the terms of this
Escrow Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration for their mutual covenants herein and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Closing; The Account. The Closing shall be completed forthwith and
immediately thereafter Escrow Agent shall deposit the Funds in an interest
bearing account at a federally chartered financial institution, the deposits of
which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which should be
designated as "Lawyers Title Insurance Company on behalf of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Ltd."
(the "Account"). Unless and until there is a default by Xxxxxx pursuant to
Paragraph 3 following, interest accruing on the Account shall be paid monthly to
Xxxxxx.
2. Disbursements to Xxxxxx.
a. The parties acknowledge that disbursements from the Account to
Xxxxxx shall be made with respect to the On Site line items in Exhibit B. Thus,
Xxxxxx will only be entitled to receive the amount set forth in Exhibit B for a
given On Site line item, subject to Subparagraph f. below, and any greater costs
incurred for that On Site line item shall be Xxxxxx'x sole responsibility;
b. Prior to any disbursements being made to Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx or a
development manager designated in writing by Xxxxxx, shall submit a certificate
and demand for payment ("Certificate") to Escrow Agent at the address set forth
on the signature page of this Escrow Agreement. The Certificate shall set forth,
by line item, the type of On Sites for which work has been done, the extent to
which each has been completed, the amount of payment (based on Exhibit B) that
is being demanded for each On Site line item, the total disbursement amount
being requested and whether the Certificate is a final disbursement request;
x. Xxxxxx may request payment of the amount expended for any On Site
line item, provided however, that if during the term of this Escrow Agreement
the amount requested by Xxxxxx for an On Site line item, together with all
previously advanced amounts for that On Site line item, exceeds the amount shown
on Exhibit B for such On Site line item, Escrow Agent shall only disburse to
Xxxxxx the amount designated on Exhibit B for that On Site line item;
d. After confirming that payments for any particular On Site line item
have not exceeded the amount provided in Exhibit B, Escrow Agent shall promptly
disburse the requested amount from the Account. Each disbursement shall be in
the form of a lien waiver check from Escrow Agent and shall be made payable
jointly to the contractor performing the work and Xxxxxx;
x. Xxxxxx shall only submit disbursement Certificates to Escrow Agent
twice each month, but shall be permitted to submit one final Certificate at any
time to handle any previously unsubmitted On Site costs. Each Certificate shall
contain all previously unsubmitted On Site costs which have been incurred by
Xxxxxx to date; and,
f. If Xxxxxx installs all of the On Sites (rather than Xxxxxx) and
funds are remaining in the Account following Xxxxxx'x final Certificate amounts,
Escrow Agent shall then disburse all remaining amounts to Xxxxxx.
3. Default by Xxxxxx - Xxxxxx'x Completion. If all On Sites have not been
completed by ___________, 200_, Xxxxxx may notify Escrow Agent, and following
the giving of such notice, may itself complete the On Site improvements, and
draw on the remaining Funds held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 2 hereinabove.
4. Termination of Escrow. This Escrow shall terminate upon completion of
all the On Site Improvements, or by written agreement of Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx.
5. Amendments. No changes or modifications shall be effected in the terms
of this Escrow Agreement except by written instrument signed by Xxxxxx and
Xxxxxx. Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to honor or act upon any
communications or notices received from Xxxxxx or Xxxxxx unless such
communications are in writing.
6. Governing Law. This Escrow Agreement shall be construed and interpreted
in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado.
7. Escrow Protection. If, at any time, Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as
to any performance required of Escrow Agent hereunder, Escrow Agent shall
attempt to obtain the written understanding of Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx as to such
performance. If Escrow Agent is unable to obtain such understanding, it may
bring an interpleader or declaratory judgment action in the District Court of El
Paso County to resolve the questions as to which it is uncertain. Xxxxxx and
Xxxxxx hereby agree for themselves to the jurisdiction of the District Court of
El Paso County, for the purposes of such an action.
8. Indemnification. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx shall defend, indemnify and hold
Escrow Agent harmless from and against all claims brought against Escrow Agent
as a consequence of its actions hereunder, provided that Escrow Agent has acted
in good faith and in compliance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement. The
indemnification includes reasonable attorneys' fees, together with all
additional costs incurred by Escrow Agent in defending against any such claim.
9. Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given or delivered
hereunder shall be in writing and be hand delivered or sent by a nationally
recognized overnight courier for "next day" delivery, with all delivery costs
paid, addressed to the party intended at its address as set forth in the Escrow
Agreement or such other address as it may designate by notice given to the other
party in the manner aforesaid. All such notices shall be deemed to have been
