W I T N E S S E T H:
For and in consideration of the Xxxxxxx Money (as defined below) paid by Buyer to Escrow Agent, the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Sell and Purchase. Seller hereby agrees to sell and convey to Buyer, and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase and take from Seller, subject to and in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the following (collectively, the “Property”):
(a) Those certain lots, tracts or parcels of real estate located at 0000 Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, 0000 Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 and XX Xxxxxxx 00 X, Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, as is more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto (collectively, the “Land”);
(b) All buildings, structures and other improvements now or hereafter located on the Land, including, without limitation, the Project (as defined below), and all fixtures owned by Seller which are attached or affixed, actually or constructively, to the Land or to any such buildings, structures or other improvements, excluding any such fixtures owned by tenants thereon (collectively, the “Improvements”);
(c) Any goods, equipment, machinery, apparatus, fittings, furniture, furnishings and other personal property owned by Seller and located on the Land or within the Improvements and used in connection with the operation, management or maintenance of the Land or the Improvements, if any, scheduled and identified on Exhibit “B” attached hereto, on an as-is, where-is basis with all faults, and without any representation or warranty whatsoever (collectively, the “Personalty”);
(d) To the extent assignable, all of the right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under all guaranties, warranties and agreements from all contractors, subcontractors, vendors or suppliers regarding their performance, quality of workmanship or quality of materials supplied in connection with the construction, manufacture, development, installation, repair or maintenance of the Improvements, or any component thereof, if any, including, without limitation, any warranties covering any other part of the Improvements (the “Warranties”); provided, however, such Warranties will be assigned in accordance with Section 12(a) below;
(e) All of the right, title and interest of Seller as “lessor” or “landlord” in, to and under all leases and other agreements, if any, scheduled and identified on Exhibit “C-1” attached hereto, or executed and entered into by Seller between the Effective Date and the Closing Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement (individually or collectively as the context requires, the “Leases”) which are in force and effect on and as of the Closing Date; and
(f) All of the right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under those service, supply, repair, maintenance, management and other agreements providing for the management, repair, maintenance and/or operation of the Property, if any, scheduled and identified on Exhibit “C-2” attached hereto (collectively, the “Contracts”), which Buyer elects to assume in accordance with Section 4(g) below.
For purposes of this Agreement, the “Project” shall mean the “Landlord’s Work” (as defined in Section 2.1 of the Barsan Lease (as defined on Exhibit “C-1” attached hereto and made a part hereof) and set forth on Exhibit H to the Barsan Lease), which includes the construction of an approximately 136,240 square foot building and paving, lighting and fencing of a parking area to be constructed by Seller prior to Closing (as defined below) on the Land in accordance with the plans and specifications described on Exhibit “D” attached hereto (as may be revised, modified and/or replaced in accordance with this Agreement, the “Construction Plans”, and together with the Entitlements (as defined below), as may be revised, modified and/or replaced in accordance with this Agreement, collectively, the “Plans and Specifications”).
2. Purchase Price; Method of Payment.
(a) The purchase price for the Property (the “Purchase Price”) shall be an amount equal to SEVENTY THREE MILLION TWO HUNDRED TWENTY TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($73,222,222.00); provided, that in the event that Barsan (as defined on Exhibit “C-1” attached hereto and made a part hereof), elects to amortize all or a portion of any Excess TI Construction Costs (as defined in the Barsan Lease) pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Barsan Lease and such election is made prior to the Closing Date , then the Purchase Price shall be increased in an amount equal to such Excess TI Construction Costs (not to exceed $1,150,000 in the aggregate) that Barsan elects to amortize over the initial term of the Barsan Lease (which amount, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any interest thereon that may be payable by Barsan pursuant to the terms of the Barsan Lease). The Purchase Price, after crediting the Xxxxxxx Money and subject to the foregoing adjustment and prorations and adjustments hereinafter described, shall be paid by Buyer to Seller on the Closing Date in cash or by a confirmed wire transfer of immediately available funds through the Federal Reserve System to an account designated by Seller.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Buyer be obligated to advance additional funds in consideration of, or otherwise share in the cost of, any increases in costs related to the construction or development of the Project in excess of the Purchase Price.

3. Xxxxxxx Money.
(a) Within two (2) business days of the Effective Date, Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent the sum of THREE MILLION NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($3,900,000.00) (such sum, together with all interest actually earned thereon during the term of this Agreement, the “Initial Xxxxxxx Money Deposit”).
(b) Within two (2) business days of the Construction Commencement Date (as defined below), Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Agent the additional sum of ONE MILLION ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,100,000.00) (such sum, together with all interest actually earned thereon during the term of this Agreement, the “Second Xxxxxxx Money Deposit”).
(c) From and after the Construction Commencement Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer monthly status reports in accordance with Section 8(b) and Installment Notices (as defined below). Buyer shall approve or disapprove each Installment Notice within ten (10) business days following receipt thereof; provided, that, if Buyer does not respond to an Installment Notice within such period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have approved such Installment Notice. Within two (2) business days after Buyer’s approval of each Installment Notice, Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Agent an amount equal to the Progress Deposit Amount (as defined below) set forth in the applicable Installment Notice until such time as Buyer has deposited a total aggregate amount of deposits pursuant to this Section 3(c) in an amount equal to ONE MILLION NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,900,000.00) (such deposits, together with all interest actually earned thereon during the term of this Agreement, collectively, the “Third Xxxxxxx Money Deposit”).
(d) Intentionally omitted.
(e) The total sum of the Initial Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, and thereafter as and when deposited, the Second Xxxxxxx Money Deposit and the Third Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, are collectively referred to herein as and shall constitute the “Xxxxxxx Money”. On the Closing Date, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be applied as partial payment of the Purchase Price.
(f) If Buyer shall fail to deliver any Xxxxxxx Money to Escrow Agent on or before the dates herein required, then Seller may elect (in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion) to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, in which event, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall cease and terminate without any further liability of either party to the other (except for those that expressly survive termination as provided in this Agreement), the Xxxxxxx Money shall be distributed in accordance with Section 18(a) of this Agreement and this Agreement shall become null and void. All deposits by Buyer required pursuant to this Section 3 shall be in the form of a confirmed wire transfer of funds through the Federal Reserve System to an account designated by Escrow Agent and no such deposit shall be deemed timely received unless actually received by the Escrow Agent on the date therefor set forth in this Section 3.
(g) Throughout the term of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall hold the Xxxxxxx Money in an interest-bearing account and disburse the Xxxxxxx Money in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit “E” attached hereto. Escrow Agent shall invest the Xxxxxxx
3
Money with a national bank whose depositors are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other financial institutions with branches located in Atlanta, Georgia as are reasonably acceptable to Buyer. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than a Material Default (as defined below), including, without limitation, the failure of a closing condition (for which Buyer is entitled to a return of the Xxxxxxx Money pursuant to this Agreement) or any default by Seller hereunder, then the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Escrow Agent receives a notice from either party instructing Escrow Agent to deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to such party, then Escrow Agent shall deliver a copy of the notice to the other party within three (3) days after receipt of the notice; provided, however, that in no event shall Seller have the right to dispute or object to such notice prior to the Due Diligence Date. If the other party does not object to the delivery of the Xxxxxxx Money as set forth in the notice within five (5) business days after receipt of the copy of the notice, then Escrow Agent shall, and is hereby authorized to, deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to the party requesting it pursuant to the notice. Any objection hereunder shall be by notice setting forth the nature and grounds for the objection and shall be sent to Escrow Agent and to the party requesting the Xxxxxxx Money. The return of Xxxxxxx Money as set forth above shall not affect the right of either party to seek such legal or equitable remedies afforded to such party pursuant to Section 18 this Agreement. The obligations under this Section 3 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, the “Construction Commencement Date” shall mean the date on which the Seller commences any physical site work, grading and/or utility work on the Property in accordance with the Plans and Specifications following the execution of the construction contracts for the Project and issuance of the notice to proceed to the Design Builder (as defined below). For the avoidance of doubt, the Construction Commencement Date shall not be deemed to have occurred: (i) until the land disturbance permits have been obtained by Seller, (ii) until all agreements and activities required by each of the applicable local jurisdictions in order to commence construction (including, without limitation, any pre-construction meetings, maintenance agreements, installation of erosion control, site inspections and posting of necessary permits by the local inspector) have been completed, and (iii) in the event a pre-demolition asbestos survey is required prior to demolition in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located, then (x) until Seller shall have provided Buyer with a “clean” pre-demolition asbestos survey of the building materials on the Property from a licensed surveyor (the “Asbestos Survey”), or (y) in the event that any remediation or abatement is required with respect to any asbestos, then until Buyer shall have received a report prepared by a licensed remediation contractor that confirms that any such remediation and/or abatement is complete.
For purposes of this Agreement, an “Installment Notice” shall mean each notice received by Buyer from Seller during the monthly status calls between Buyer, Seller and the Construction Team from and after the Construction Commencement Date until the Substantial Completion Date (as defined below), which shall (i) set forth the percentage of the construction of the Project completed as of the date of such notice (or for the time period for which such Installment Notice relates), (ii) include a draw certificate from the Design Builder evidencing the percentage of the construction budget incurred (or to be incurred) as of the date of such notice (or for the time period for which such Installment Notice relates) (the “Completion Percentage”), provided that Seller may redact the actual dollar amounts from each Installment Notice, and (iii) attach the full pay applications from the Design Builder (which may be redacted to remove actual dollar
4
amounts provided that the percentage of incurred costs is provided) in the form of an AIA G-702 or reasonable equivalent, together with photographs of work in progress, and a certification by Seller of the Progress Deposit Amount.
For purposes of this Agreement, the “Progress Deposit Amount” shall be an amount equal to the product of the Completion Percentage multiplied by $1,900,000.00. For purposes of calculating the Progress Deposit Amount, the Completion Percentage shall be deemed to include all retainage. By way of example, if fifty percent (50%) of the construction of the Project is complete and Seller has paid forty-five (45%) of the construction budget out and held five percent (5%) as retainage, then the Progress Deposit Amount (at such time) shall be an amount equal to $950,000.00 minus all prior Progress Deposit Amounts previously deposited by Buyer so that the total aggregate amount of all Progress Deposit Amounts deposited by Buyer at such time equals $950,000.00 (being 50% of $1,900,000.00). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall, within two (2) business days of the Substantial Completion Date and upon receipt of written request therefor, deliver to Escrow Agent any remaining portion of the Third Xxxxxxx Money Deposit that has not been delivered to Escrow Agent by Buyer as of the Substantial Completion Date.
For purposes of this Agreement, the “Punch-List Items” shall mean the list of punch-list items provided by Seller, and prepared by the Design Builder or any other architect, consultant, engineer, civil engineer or other advisor engaged by Seller, of the items of work required to be completed in order to achieve Final Completion (which list, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be generated pursuant to Section 7(c)(ii) below). For the avoidance of doubt, the Punch-List Items shall only include items that do not adversely affect the use or occupancy of the Property in any material respect and do not exceed an aggregate of $150,000.00 (excluding all retainage). At Closing, the parties shall enter into a post-closing escrow agreement in a form reasonably agreed to by Buyer and Seller (the “Post-Closing Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, (1) Buyer shall grant Seller the right to enter onto the Property in order to complete, or cause the Design Builder to complete, the Punch-List Items and achieve Final Completion at Seller’s sole cost and expense (subject to customary access provisions and indemnities) and (2) Seller shall deposit with Escrow Agent an amount equal to the sum of (y) one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the cost to complete the Punch-List Items as reasonably estimated by Seller and agreed to by Buyer and (z) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Escrow Funds”). Within three (3) business days of the Final Completion Date, Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Funds to Seller and Design Builder, as applicable, to pay for the completion of the Punch-List Items pursuant to and in accordance with the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement. The Post-Closing Escrow Agreement shall provide for the completion of the Punch-List Items in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and the removal all materials, debris and construction equipment placed on the Property in connection with the completion of the Punch- List Items to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, which activities shall be completed no later than three (3) months following the Closing Date (the “Outside Punch List Date”). The Outside Punch List Date (i) shall be extended by Force Majeure for an additional period not to exceed four (4) months, so long as Seller is diligently pursuing the completion of the Punch-List Items, or otherwise for any Buyer Delay, as applicable, (ii) shall be extended day-for-day as a result of any change orders requested by Barsan pursuant to the Barsan Lease so long as Buyer approves of same pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 16 hereof, and/or (iii) may otherwise be extended by Buyer in its reasonable discretion). In the event Seller fails to complete the Punch-
5
List Items prior to the expiration of the Outside Punch List Date, Buyer’s remedy with respect thereto shall be to exercise self-help to complete the Punch-List Items, in which case the full amount of any Escrow Funds shall be released to Buyer within two (2) business days. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive Closing until the release of the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms of the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Substantial Completion” shall mean that (i) the Project has been constructed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications (including the satisfaction of any conditions required pursuant to the Entitlements that are reasonably capable of being satisfied at such time) except for completion of the Punch-List Items; (ii) the Project shall be fully-functional except for completion of the Punch-List Items and all required utilities for the normal operation of the Property are available and connected; (iii) all Entitlements for the construction of the Property have been issued; (iv) a temporary certificate of occupancy (or its equivalent) has been issued with respect to the Property by the appropriate governmental authority; (v) legal and physical access to public roads and utilities from the Property shall have been made available; (vi) Seller has delivered to Buyer a letter from the Design Builder that the Project has been substantially completed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications (the “Certificate of Substantial Completion”), (vii) all existing water xxxxx, septic tanks and systems, above ground storage tanks and USTs (as defined below) shall have been closed and/or removed, as applicable, in accordance with all Environmental Laws and any applicable laws, codes, statues and regulations, (viii) Seller has delivered to Buyer all Close-Out Materials (as defined below) and (ix) Buyer shall have approved the foregoing items in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 7(c) hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Close-Out Materials” shall mean all items set forth on Exhibit “H-1” attached hereto and made a part hereof.
4. Access and Inspection; Examination by Buyer.
(a) From the Effective Date through and including the Closing Date, Buyer and Buyer’s employees, agents, representatives, contractors, engineers, directors, officers, members, managers, investors, lenders, prospective lenders, civil engineers and consultants (collectively, the “Buyer’s Agents”) shall have a temporary, non-exclusive, revocable license to enter upon the Property upon no less than 24 hours’ prior notice and request to Seller (which notice may be delivered by email to Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxxxx at xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx and xxxx.xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx, respectively), for the purposes of inspecting the physical condition of the Property, conducting non-intrusive physical and environmental inspections of the Property, conducting surveys, mechanical and structural engineering studies, conducting ongoing construction monitoring by a third-party provider and any other investigations, examinations, tests and inspections as Buyer may reasonably require to assess the condition of the Property (collectively, the “Inspections”). Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with any reasonable request of Buyer to provide any books, records or other non-proprietary documentation for review with respect to the Property, including, but not limited to, land acquisition agreements and related documentation, working drawings, plans and specifications, easement agreements, construction contracts (excluding any budgets, schedules of values or similar cost information applicable thereto), construction schedules, maintenance and association agreements, land use entitlement documentation and communications, surveys, engineers’ and environmental reports, insurance
6
policies, service contracts and real estate tax receipts during Seller’s period of ownership of the Property, in each case, to the extent in Seller’s possession or reasonable control. Buyer shall not (i) contact or otherwise communicate with any person using, occupying or providing services at the Property (except for Seller and Seller’s property manager); or (ii) contact or communicate with any public, governmental or quasi-governmental official pertaining to the Property or the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, without the Seller’s express prior written consent and without a representative of Seller present; provided that the foregoing shall not require Buyer to give Seller prior notice or an opportunity to participate with respect to (x) the Planning and Zoning Resource Company (“PZR”) or another similar zoning consultant requesting a customary zoning letter or making other similar customary contact with a public, governmental or quasi-governmental authority on behalf of Buyer with respect to the Property or (y) inquiries by Buyer or any of Buyer’s Agents to any public, governmental or quasi-governmental authority with respect to the legal right to develop the Property; or (iii) to the extent that any tenant is occupying the Property in accordance with the terms of its respective Lease, not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Property by any tenant. If Buyer desires access to any space occupied by a tenant at the Property, then Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange such entry, but access to any such space shall be subject to and limited by the terms of the applicable Lease. Any such access shall be limited to normal business hours (9:00AM to 6:00PM Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays) and Buyer shall cooperate with any reasonable request by Seller in connection with the timing of any such access. No on-site Inspections shall occur without a representative of Seller being present unless such requirement is waived by Seller. Buyer agrees that (1) any activities by or on behalf of Buyer, including, without limitation, the Inspections, the entry by Buyer or any of Buyer’s Agents onto the Property or the other activities of Buyer or any of Buyer’s Agents with respect to the Property (collectively, “Buyer’s Activities”) shall not damage the Property in any manner whatsoever (except to a de minimis extent), (2) in the event the Property is altered or disturbed in any manner in connection with any Buyer’s Activities, Buyer shall, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, repair and restore the Property to the condition existing prior to Buyer’s Activities as soon as reasonably practicable, and (3) Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and its owners, affiliates, agents, employees and representatives (each, a “Seller Party”) free and harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, liens, losses, injury, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) suffered, incurred or sustained by any such indemnified party as a result of any of Buyer’s Activities (collectively, “Losses”); provided, however, that Buyer’s obligations clauses (1)-(3) above shall not apply to any Losses suffered or incurred by any Seller Party by reason of (x) the mere discovery of a pre-existing condition at the Property, unless such condition is exacerbated by Buyer or Buyer’s Agents, or (y) any fraudulent, grossly negligent acts or omission or willful misconduct of any Seller Party. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, without first obtaining Seller’s written consent thereto (which consent may be withheld or conditioned in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion), neither Buyer nor any of Buyer’s Agents shall have the right to undertake any intrusive physical investigations or environmental assessments or environmental studies or testing beyond the scope of a standard “Phase I” evaluation. Buyer agrees that, in exercising its rights of access hereunder and conducting the Buyer’s Activities, Buyer will not, and will not permit any of Buyer’s Agents to, interfere or disrupt in any material respect the development of the Property, and to the extent that any tenant is occupying the Property in accordance with the terms of its respective Lease, and
7
Buyer will, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Buyer’s Agents to, comply with all reasonable requests of Seller, on behalf of itself or its tenants, at the Property in conducting any Inspections so as to avoid any interference with or disruptions to the operations, services, management and leasing activities and the rights of Seller or Seller’s tenants at the Property in any material respect. The provisions of this Section 4(a) shall survive any termination of this Agreement for a period of seven (7) months after the Closing Date.
(b) Buyer shall have until the Effective Date (the “Due Diligence Date”) to perform such Inspections as Buyer shall deem necessary or desirable to determine whether the Property is suitable and satisfactory to Buyer. In the event Buyer shall determine that the Property is not suitable and satisfactory to Buyer, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller on or before the Due Diligence Date. In the event Buyer timely delivers the notice required by the immediately preceding sentence to Seller, then Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Xxxxxxx Money to Buyer, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall cease and terminate without any further liability of either party to the other (except for those that expressly survive termination as provided in this Agreement), and this Agreement shall become null and void. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 4(b) on or before the Due Diligence Date, Buyer shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4(b), and except as otherwise set forth in Sections 5(a), 5(b), 5(c), 6(a), 7(a), 9(a), 17(a), 18(b), 19, and 20(a) of this Agreement, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be fully nonrefundable.
(c) Prior to any entry by Buyer or any of Buyer’s Agents onto the Property, Buyer shall: (i) if Buyer does not then have such a policy in force, obtain or cause to be obtained, a policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance, with a contractual liability endorsement that covers Buyer’s indemnity obligations set forth in this Agreement, issued by an insurer permitted to do business in Georgia, insuring all of Buyer’s Activities, with limits of no less than $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate and $1,000,000.00 for bodily injury or death in any one accident, and not less than $1,000,000.00 for property damage and such limits may be met through a combination of primary and excess/umbrella coverage; and (ii) deliver to Seller a Certificate of Insurance, evidencing that such insurance is in force and effect, and evidencing that Seller has been named as an additional insured thereunder with respect to any Buyer’s Activities (such Certificate of Insurance shall be delivered to Seller at the address for notices set forth below). Such insurance shall be written on an “occurrence form” and shall be maintained in force until the earlier of (x) the termination of this Agreement and the conclusion of all Buyer’s Activities, or (y) Closing.
(d) Buyer acknowledges that Seller has delivered to Buyer the certain items with regard to the Property identified on Exhibit “F” and that Seller may deliver certain other documents and information in Seller’s possession with regard to the Property (collectively, the “Due Diligence Materials”), but in no event later than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date. Except as set forth in Section 17, the Due Diligence Materials will be provided to Buyer without any representation or warranty of any kind or nature whatsoever and are merely provided to Buyer for Buyer’s informational purposes. Until Closing, Buyer and Buyer’s Agents shall maintain all Due Diligence Materials as confidential information. If the purchase and sale of the Property is not consummated in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of the reason or the party at fault, Buyer shall immediately re-deliver or destroy the Due Diligence Materials, with
8
notice of such destruction being sent by Buyer to Seller (subject, in all cases, to any applicable corporate retention policy). The provisions of this Section 4(d) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
(e) Buyer shall keep the Property free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Buyer or any of Buyer’s Agents with respect to any inspection or testing of the Property. If any such lien shall at any time be filed, Buyer shall cause the same to be discharged of record within thirty (30) days after notice from Seller thereof or knowledge by Buyer thereof by satisfying the same or, if Buyer in its discretion and good faith determines that such liens should be contested, by obtaining a bond sufficient to cause any such lien to be insured over by Seller’s title insurance company. Failure by Buyer to discharge such lien or obtain such bond within said thirty (30) day period shall be a material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Seller, at its option and in addition to any other remedy Seller may have at law, in equity or by contract, immediately to declare this Agreement to be terminated. The provisions of this Section 4(e) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
(f) Upon Seller’s request and only to the extent that Seller reimburses Buyer for the cost thereof, Buyer shall deliver promptly to Seller copies of the written results of any inspections, studies, appraisals, evaluations and/or investigations prepared by or for or otherwise obtained by Buyer or any of Buyer’s Agents in connection with Buyer’s Activities, excluding any drafts, attorney-client privileged communications, internally generated work product or other items deemed confidential by Buyer. Notwithstanding the delivery of such written results, Seller acknowledges that it shall not be entitled to rely upon the same and Buyer makes no representation or warranty with respect to such materials.
(g) Buyer shall have the right to elect to require Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, to terminate any or all of the Contracts on the Closing Date, provided, that, no later than ten (10) business days following Buyer’s receipt of the Substantial Completion notice from Seller, Buyer will advise Seller in writing which Contracts Buyer will assume and which Contracts Buyer requests be terminated at Closing.
5. Title and Survey.
(a) As of the Effective Date, Seller has delivered Seller’s existing title commitments for the Property (collectively, the “Existing Title Commitments”) and Seller’s existing surveys (collectively, the “Existing Surveys”). Buyer may, at its sole cost and expense obtain updates to the Existing Title Commitments (collectively, the “Title Commitments”) and updates to the Existing Surveys (collectively, the “Surveys”). Buyer shall have until the date that is five (5) business days prior to the Due Diligence Date (the “Buyer’s Objection Date”) to give Seller written notice (“Buyer’s Objection Notice”) of any title or survey objections (each, a “Title Objection”). Buyer’s failure to specify in Buyer’s Objection Notice any Title Objection appearing of record as of the date of Buyer’s Objection Notice shall be deemed to be, and shall constitute, a waiver of any such Title Objection, and such Title Objection shall thereafter constitute a Permitted Exception (as defined below) under this Agreement. Seller shall have until the date that is three (3) business days after receipt of Buyer’s Objection Notice (the “Seller’s Response Date”), in which to review Buyer’s Objection Notice and, if Seller elects, in
9
which to give Buyer written notice of any Title Objection specified therein which Seller elects to cure. If, on or before Seller’s Response Date, Seller fails to give such written notice to Buyer with respect to any Title Objection specified in Buyer’s Objection Notice, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any such Title Objection. If Seller gives Buyer such written notice that Seller does not elect to cure (or is deemed to have elected not to cure) such Title Objection, then Buyer shall have until the Due Diligence Date to (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, in which event, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall cease and terminate without any further liability of either party to the other (except for those that expressly survive termination as provided in this Agreement) and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Buyer, or (ii) waive such Title Objection and proceed to Closing without any abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price on account of such Title Objection, in which event such unsatisfied Title Objection shall constitute a Permitted Exception under this Agreement. If Buyer does not give such notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such Title Objection. For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean and include, collectively, the following: (1) a lien for Taxes (as defined below) not due and payable on or before the Closing Date, (2) zoning ordinances affecting the Property, (3) the rights of parties in possession as tenants only under the Leases (if any), without any right to purchase any portion of the Property or rights of first offer, refusal or similar thereunder, (4) all matters of record as of the Effective Date which are approved, deemed approved or waived by Buyer pursuant to Section 5 hereof, (5) an encroachment agreement with Georgia Power Company giving Seller the right to construct and maintain the Improvements in the power easement area, as shown on the Plans and Specifications, in Georgia Power Company’s required form with such changes as Seller and Buyer mutually approve and agreed to by Georgia Power Company, which encroachment agreement shall be recorded in the records of the Superior Court of Chatham County, Georgia prior to Closing (the “Encroachment Agreement”), (6) a termination of (i) that certain Private Road Maintenance Agreement dated November 24, 2010 and recorded on December 3, 2010 in Book 365-Y, Page 69 of the Superior Court of Chatham County, Georgia, and (ii) that certain 40’ access easement established by plat dated May 26, 2004, and last revised on April 21, 2005, recorded in Plat Record Book 38-P, Page 34 of the Superior Court of Chatham County, Georgia, which termination was recorded in the records of the Superior Court of Chatham County, Georgia on May 17, 2022 in Book 2806, Page 78, (7) the Leases, and (8) any laws, codes, ordinances, rules, regulations or public restrictive covenants applicable to or affecting the Property. For avoidance of doubt, Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain and record the Encroachment Agreement and (ii) cause Georgia Power Company to agree in the Encroachment Agreement not to construct any utilities within the power easement that would disturb or interfere with the Improvements to be constructed by Seller in accordance with the Plans and Specifications in any material respect; provided, that, so long as Seller adheres to the preceding covenant to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and record the Encroachment Agreement, Seller’s failure to obtain and/or record the Encroachment Agreement in the records of the Superior Court of Chatham County, Georgia prior to Closing shall not constitute a default by Seller hereunder; provided further, however, that the recording of the Encroachment Agreement shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property at Closing pursuant to Section 9(a).
(b) Buyer may reexamine title and survey matters relating to the Property up to and including the Closing Date and give Seller written notice of any additional title or survey objections (an “Additional Objection Notice”, and together with Buyer’s Objection Notice,
10
each an “Objection Notice”) with respect to any new Title Objection appearing of record and on any update to the Title Commitments subsequent to Buyer’s Objection Date (a “New Objection”). Buyer’s failure to object to any such New Objection by providing an Additional Objection Notice within three (3) business days of Buyer’s receipt of such updated Title Commitment (the “Additional Objection Deadline”) shall be deemed to be, and shall constitute, a waiver of any such objection, and such New Objection shall thereafter constitute a Permitted Exception under this Agreement. Seller shall have until the date that is three (3) business days after receipt of any Additional Objection Notice (such date, the “Additional Response Date”) in which to review such Additional Objection Notice and, if Seller elects, in which to give Buyer written notice of any New Objection specified therein which Seller elects to cure. If, on or before the Additional Response Date, Seller fails to give such written notice to Buyer with respect to any New Objection specified in such Additional Objection Notice, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any such New Objection. If Seller gives Buyer such written notice that Seller does not elect to cure (or shall not have responded to the Additional Objection Notice in the time period set forth above and is therefore deemed to have elected not to cure) such New Objection, then Buyer shall have until the date that is three (3) business days after Buyer’s receipt of such notice (or deemed notice) (the “Title Deadline”) to (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, in which event, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall cease and terminate without any further liability of either party to the other (except for those that expressly survive termination as provided in this Agreement) and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Buyer, or (ii) waive such New Objection and proceed to Closing without any abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price on account of such New Objection, in which event such unsatisfied New Objection shall constitute a Permitted Exception under this Agreement. If Buyer does not give such notice on or before the Title Deadline, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such New Objection. If any notice or response period in this paragraph shall extend to or beyond the scheduled Closing Date, then the Closing shall be adjourned for an additional three (3) business days. In connection with any Title Objections and/or New Objections, as applicable, that Seller has elected to cure, Seller shall have until the Closing Date to satisfy such Title Objections and/or New Objections, as applicable (provided, that Seller may extend the Closing Date for a period of ten (10) days in order to satisfy such Title Objection and/or New Objection; provided further, that Seller shall be afforded up to thirty (30) days to satisfy any Title Objection and/or New Objection that Seller has elected to cure that cannot reasonably be remedied within such ten (10) day period so long as Seller shall have commenced such remedy or cure action within such ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same, and the Closing Date may be extended in order to allow Seller such time periods). In the event that Seller shall not have satisfied such Title Objections or New Objections that Seller has elected to cure, as applicable, then Buyer may either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, in which event, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall cease and terminate without any further liability of either party to the other (except for those that expressly survive termination as provided in this Agreement) and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Buyer, or (ii) waive such Title Objection and/or New Objection and proceed to Closing without any abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price on account of such Title Objection and/or New Objection, in which event such unsatisfied Title Objection and/or New Objection shall constitute a Permitted Exception under this Agreement.
11
(c) If Buyer terminates this Agreement for any reason in accordance with the terms hereof, including, without limitation, termination by Buyer in accordance with this Section 5, then the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Buyer, and upon such return all further rights and obligations of the parties shall cease and terminate without any further liability of either party to the other, except for those obligations which are specifically provided to survive such termination as provided in this Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall be required to discharge of record (or bond over) on or prior to the Closing any and all deeds of trusts, mortgages, judgments, mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens (or any title exceptions related thereto), tax liens or other monetary liens that secure or evidence a monetary claim (other than any such liens resulting from any act of Buyer, including, without limitation, the Inspections) (collectively, “Mandatory Cure Items”) without the requirement that an Objection Notice be delivered by Buyer to Seller for any such matter; provided that Seller’s failure to cure any such lien that arises as a result of any debt of or claim against a third party unaffiliated with Seller and not arising out of Seller’s acts or willful omissions (including, without limitation, Seller’s failure to pay amounts due and payable by Seller) shall not be a default by Seller under this Agreement, but the discharge (or bonding over) of such lien shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property at Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, if Seller notifies Buyer that Seller shall remove any matters set forth in an Objection Notice in accordance with this Section 5, then Seller’s failure to remove any such matters shall be considered a default under this Agreement. If Seller obtains one or more Construction Loans (as defined below) for financing the construction of the Project and secured by a mortgage, deed to secure debt, security deed, or other security instrument encumbering the Property (collectively, a “Construction Mortgage”) or any mezzanine financing obtained in connection with the construction of the Project, then Seller shall pay the Construction Loan and such mezzanine financing, as applicable, in full at the Closing and cause the lender(s) with respect to such Construction Mortgage to provide a payoff letter and/or a duly-executed release of the Property from the Construction Mortgage in recordable form (each, a “Mortgage Release”) to the Title Company to permit the Title Company to insure over such Construction Mortgage at the Closing.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer’s prior written consent shall not be required and Seller shall be expressly permitted to obtain a construction loan for the Project containing terms and conditions acceptable to Seller (the “Construction Loan”) from a lender, which may be secured by among other things (1) a Construction Mortgage, (2) a collateral assignment of this Agreement, (3) a collateral assignment of the Plans and Specifications, construction documents and other construction or project documents, (4) a pledge or collateral assignment of Seller’s right in and to the Xxxxxxx Money pursuant to this Agreement, (5) an assignment of leases and rents, and (6) UCC financing statements, in each case, in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer. Upon Seller’s written request, Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller and any lender in connection with the Construction Loan, which may include providing an acknowledgement and agreement to a collateral assignment of this Agreement and/or an escrow redirection letter with respect to the Xxxxxxx Money and the applicable lender’s rights with respect thereto, and an estoppel certificate with respect to this Agreement, in all cases, pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 5(e) and in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer; provided that in no event shall any of the foregoing modify, limit or restrict the rights of Buyer or the obligations of Seller under this Agreement. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of Seller hereunder are personal to Seller and shall not be binding on any applicable lender unless such lender expressly assumes such obligations pursuant to any assignment of this Agreement on terms and conditions expressly set forth in such assignment and agreed to by such lender.
12
6. Approval of Construction Plans.
(a) Seller shall provide Buyer with copies of draft construction plans for the Project promptly following Seller’s receipt thereof, and Buyer shall provide Seller with its written approval thereof or comments thereto within ten (10) business days of Buyer’s receipt thereof; provided, that, without limiting Buyer’s rights under Section 16, Buyer’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as the draft construction plans do not reduce the square footage or height of the proposed improvements by more than two percent (2%), reduce the number of dock doors by more than four (4) doors or number of parking spaces at the Property by more than twenty (20) spaces and are not materially inconsistent with the Construction Plans attached hereto as Exhibit “D”. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall not be obligated to implement any of Buyer’s requested changes to the draft construction plans if such modifications would have the effect of increasing Seller’s construction costs (other than de minimis increases), except in cases in which such Buyer-requested changes may be required by applicable law and/or is necessary in light of any comments from the applicable governmental authority with respect to its review of the Plans and Specifications (including drafts thereof). In the event that Seller and Buyer disagree with respect to any proposed changes, the parties shall jointly engage Xxxxxx Gay Xxxx Civil Engineers, if a civil engineering issue, or Xxxx Xxxxxxx, if an architectural issue, to make a final determination as to whether any such change is necessary in light of the preceding sentence. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate Buyer’s comments to the draft construction plans, subject to the terms hereinbelow; provided, however, that the implementation of any such modifications to the Plans and Specifications shall not be deemed to be a condition to Buyer’s obligations hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except in cases where the draft construction plans are materially inconsistent with the Construction Plans attached hereto as Exhibit “D”, Seller may reasonably object to any of Buyer’s comments, including to the extent that such requests would increase the costs to construct the Project (except to a de minimis extent). If Buyer fails to provide comments to or approve the draft construction plans within such ten (10) business day period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the draft construction plans. If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree on the draft construction plans prior to July 31, 2022, then the Outside Entitlement Date and the Outside Completion Date shall be extended on a day-for-day basis thereafter until the draft construction plans are approved by Buyer, provided that if Buyer and Seller are unable to agree on the draft construction plans prior to July 31, 2022, either party may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately refunded to Buyer, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall cease and terminate without any further liability of either party to the other (except for those that expressly survive termination as provided in this Agreement). Once the draft construction plans are approved by Buyer, such draft construction plans shall be deemed to replace Exhibit “D” attached to this Agreement as of the Effective Date and shall thereafter be deemed to be the Construction Plans for all purposes hereunder.
(b) After the Due Diligence Date, Seller shall neither request nor permit any change to the Plans and Specifications without first obtaining Buyer’s prior written approval therefor; provided, that, Buyer’s approval shall not be required for de minimis field changes. In
13
the event that Buyer does not respond to a request for approval from Seller for changes to the Plans and Specifications within five (5) business days after Seller’s request therefor, Buyer shall be deemed to have disapproved such request.
7. Entitlement and Construction Milestones.
(a) Entitlements. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all entitlements, permits and governmental approvals required for the commencement of site work and construction of the Project, including, without limitation, those items set forth on Exhibit “G” attached hereto (collectively, the “Entitlements”), on or before July 31, 2022, for all Entitlements other than the building permit, and on or before August 30, 2022 for the building permit (which dates shall be extended for Force Majeure pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, individually or collectively as the context requires, the “Outside Entitlement Date”). In the event that the Entitlements have not been obtained by Seller prior to the Outside Entitlement Date, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Xxxxxxx Money to Buyer, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall cease and terminate without any further liability of either party to the other (except for those that expressly survive termination as provided in this Agreement) and this Agreement shall become null and void.
(b) Construction of Project. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the achievement of Substantial Completion on or before May 31, 2023 (as such date may be extended for Force Majeure (as defined below) and Buyer Delays (as defined below) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the “Outside Completion Date”) in a manner consistent with the standard of care and diligence applicable to first-rate developers with substantial experience with the development of trailer parking and in compliance with the Plans and Specifications, the terms of this Agreement, the Entitlements, all easements, covenants, restrictions, reciprocal easement agreements, development agreements, construction contracts, subdivision plans or other documents which encumber the Property and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws and laws, codes, statutes and regulations regarding the construction of improvements on wetlands (including, without limitation, avoid impacting and/or properly delineating and address wetlands or potential wetlands in compliance with federal and state laws and regulations), the treatment, replacement and/or removal of USTs or above-ground storage tanks and septic systems (the “Performance Standard”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if obtaining the Entitlements, Substantial Completion or Final Completion is prevented, delayed or hindered by (1) an act of God; catastrophe; acts of terrorism; fire, earthquake, floods or explosion, extraordinary adverse weather conditions; war, riot, or sabotage; epidemic or pandemic (including, without limitation, COVID-19) that result in any government-mandated quarantines and closures of government offices; shortages of construction materials, supplies, equipment or construction labor; strikes, lockouts, or action of labor unions that apply to the commercial construction industry generally in the Atlanta MSA; laws hereafter enacted; orders of governmental or civil authorities, government action or inaction where action is required (including administrative delays in obtaining permits); delays due to unforeseen conditions at the Land that could not have reasonably been anticipated based on Seller’s review of the Due Diligence Materials (collectively, “Unforeseen Conditions”); court orders due to reasons outside of Seller’s control; or failure of transportation as a result of any the foregoing
14
(collectively, “Force Majeure”); or (2) any breach of this Agreement by Buyer, any failure of Buyer to respond within any time periods specified herein, or any requested changes of Buyer to the Plans and Specifications (other than changes requested by Buyer in connection with any material inconsistencies with Construction Plans) (collectively, a “Buyer Delay”), then Seller shall be entitled to adjourn the Outside Entitlement Date, Substantial Completion Date and Outside Completion Date for as long as the Force Majeure or Buyer Delay, as applicable, exists (not to exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate for Unforeseen Conditions and one hundred twenty (120) days in the aggregate for any condition constituting Force Majeure, in each case, unless otherwise agreed to by Buyer); provided, however, that none of the foregoing causes shall constitute Force Majeure unless (i) such cause and/or the effects thereof is beyond Seller’s reasonable control, (ii) such event and/or the effects therefrom could not have been prevented or avoided by exercising ordinary care and diligence, (iii) Seller uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the effect of any such cause on the construction of the Project and (iv) Seller provides written notice to Buyer as soon as reasonably practical (and in no event more than ten (10) days after the Force Majeure event occurred) setting forth a description of such cause, the expected duration of the delay, the aspects of the Project that are delayed by such cause, and the steps, if any, that Seller is taking to minimize the effect of such cause on the progress of the Project.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Final Completion” shall mean that (i) Substantial Completion shall have been achieved and Seller has completed all Punch-List Items in accordance with the Plans and Specifications to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, removed all materials, debris (including, without limitation, any tires, containers, household and/or construction debris that may be located on the Property) and construction equipment placed on the Property in connection with the construction of the Project and provided Buyer notice of the same, (ii) Seller has delivered to Buyer all Punch List Close-Out Materials (as defined below), (iii) a final certificate of occupancy (or its equivalent) has been issued with respect to the Project by the appropriate governmental authority, (iv) the Property shall be in “rent-ready” condition in accordance with the terms of any applicable Lease(s) (including any tenant improvement work under any Leases), (v) all required approvals of any governmental authority in connection with the Punch List Close-Out Materials have been received, and (vi) Buyer shall have approved the foregoing items in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 7(c) hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Punch List Close-Out Materials” shall include all items set forth on Exhibit “H-2” attached hereto and made a part hereof.
(c) Determination of Substantial Completion, Punch-List Items and Final Completion.
(i) On or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the date that Seller reasonably believes that Substantial Completion will be achieved, Seller shall deliver notice thereof to Buyer (the “Advance Substantial Completion Notice”), and from time to time after delivery of the Advance Substantial Completion Notice, Seller shall, at Buyer’s request, advise Buyer of the progress of the construction and any revised projection of the date by which Substantial Completion will be achieved. Not less than five (5) business days prior to the date that Seller reasonably believes that Substantial Completion will be achieved, the Design Builder shall furnish Buyer a draft of the Certificate of Substantial Completion together with the other items set forth in the
15
definition of Substantial Completion and the Punch-List Items in accordance with Section 7(c)(ii) below. Once Seller reasonably believes that Substantial Completion has been achieved, the Design Builder shall furnish Buyer an executed Certificate of Substantial Completion together with the items set forth in the definition of Substantial Completion. Within twenty (20) days after the receipt by Buyer of the executed Certificate of Substantial Completion, Buyer shall inspect the Project using such civil engineers, engineers or other professionals, agents or designees as Buyer may deem appropriate. Within five (5) business days after such inspection, Buyer shall, by written notice to Seller (each, a “Buyer’s Substantial Completion Notice”), advise Seller as to whether it reasonably believes that Substantial Completion has been achieved, and if Buyer so advises Seller, then Substantial Completion shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date of Buyer’s Substantial Completion Notice (the “Substantial Completion Date”). If Buyer reasonably believes that Substantial Completion has not been achieved, then Buyer’s Substantial Completion Notice shall specify in what respects Substantial Completion has not occurred and Seller shall promptly take all steps necessary to correct the same and proceed diligently until Substantial Completion has been achieved. Within ten (10) days after the receipt by Buyer of a written notice from Seller stating that Seller has completed the necessary work described in any Buyer’s Substantial Completion Notice (a “Follow-Up Notice”), Buyer shall reinspect the Project and, if Buyer determines in good faith that such work has been so completed, Buyer shall so notify Seller in a Buyer’s Substantial Completion Notice and the Substantial Completion Date shall be deemed to be the date of such Buyer’s Substantial Completion Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer’s failure to object to any deviations from the Plans and Specifications shall not be considered a waiver of any rights of Buyer under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the enforcement of the representations and warranties of Seller under this Agreement and the requirements with respect to Substantial Completion, except to the extent that (x) such condition was expressly set forth in an Installment Notice and approved in writing by Buyer, or (y) Buyer had actual knowledge of such deviation, and in the case of either of (x) or (y), Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted such deviation.
(ii) In connection with the delivery of the Advance Substantial Completion Notice, Seller shall provide Buyer with a list of any Punch-List Items. Upon receipt of the Punch-List Items, if any, from Seller, Buyer may provide to Seller any additional items that Buyer reasonably believes are required in order to cause the Project to be constructed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, including, without limitation, those items that are necessary for Final Completion to be achieved and/or to correct any defective work or omissions, including, without limitation, details or work that are reasonably inferable from the Plans and Specifications and those items required in order to remedy any damage to the Project occurring after Substantial Completion, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Seller agrees to diligently pursue, and shall cause the Design Builder to pursue, the completion of the Punch-List Items.
(iii) At such time as Seller reasonably believes that Final Completion has been achieved, the Design Builder shall furnish to Buyer an executed certification of same, together with the other items set forth in the definition of Final Completion (the “Certificate of Final Completion”). Within twenty (20) days after the receipt by Buyer
16
of the executed Certificate of Final Completion, Buyer shall inspect the Project using such civil engineers, engineers or other professionals, agents or designees as Buyer may deem appropriate. Within five (5) business days after such inspection, Buyer shall, by written notice to Seller (a “Buyer’s Final Completion Notice”), advise Seller whether it reasonably believes that Final Completion has been achieved, and if Buyer so advises Seller, then Final Completion shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date of Buyer’s Final Completion Notice (the “Final Completion Date”). If Buyer reasonably believes that Final Completion has not been achieved, then Buyer’s Final Completion Notice shall specify in what respects Final Completion has not occurred and Seller shall promptly take all steps necessary to correct the same and proceed diligently until Final Completion has been achieved. Within ten (10) days after the receipt by Buyer of a written notice from Seller stating that Seller has completed the necessary work described in any Buyer’s Final Completion Notice (a “Final Completion Follow-Up Notice”), Buyer shall reinspect the Project and, if Buyer reasonably believes that such work has been so completed, then Buyer shall so notify Seller in a Buyer’s Final Completion Notice and the Final Completion Date shall be deemed to be the date of such Buyer’s Final Completion Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer’s failure to object to any deviations from the Plans and Specifications shall not be considered a waiver of any rights of Buyer under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the enforcement of the representations and warranties of Seller under this Agreement and the requirements with respect to Final Completion, except to the extent that (x) such condition was expressly set forth in an Installment Notice and approved in writing by Buyer, or (y) Buyer had actual knowledge of such deviation, and in the case of either of (x) or (y), Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted such deviation.
(iv) If Buyer fails to provide Seller with any notice specified above with respect to Substantial Completion or Final Completion, Buyer shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree that Substantial Completion or Final Completion has been achieved, respectively.
(v) The provisions of this Section 7(c) shall survive Closing until the release of the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms of the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement.
8. Construction Reporting and Monitoring.
(a) Buyer and/or Buyer’s Agents shall have the right during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior written notice to Seller to inspect the construction and development of the Project as it progresses and attend any meetings and/or participate in any status calls between Seller and the design builder for the Project (the “Design Builder”), subcontractors, architects, engineers or other third-party consultants (collectively, including Seller and the Design Builder, the “Construction Team”). Buyer shall not visit the Property without providing prior notice to Seller or unaccompanied by Seller and/or Seller’s representatives, unless otherwise approved by Seller. Such inspections by Buyer and/or Buyer’s Agents shall be performed in a commercially reasonable manner so as not to materially, unreasonably or knowingly interfere with the construction and development of the Project. Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable prior notice of the location, date and time of any
17
scheduled construction meetings. Seller shall provide to Buyer copies of all plans and shop drawings and specifications related thereto, as applicable, including, but not limited to, the Plans and Specifications, which Buyer and its agents may examine.
(b) Seller shall provide monthly status reports with respect to the development and construction of the Project, which status report may be in the form of an Installment Notice. Without limiting the terms and provisions of Section 16 hereof, each such status report shall also include any material developments (i.e. events outside of the normal course of a construction project similar to the Project and copies of any notices received from any member of the Construction Team with respect to the completion of the Punch List Items) with respect to the construction, development and/or operation of the Project, any changes to the construction schedule setting forth the expected delivery of the Project through Final Completion (the “Project Schedule”), which is attached hereto as Exhibit “I”, and any proposed changes to the Plans and Specifications.
(c) If during the course of any such inspection Buyer shall determine, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that (i) the construction of the Project or development of the Property are not proceeding in compliance with the Plans and Specifications or (ii) Substantial Completion may not be achieved by the Outside Completion Date and/or Final Completion may not be achieved by the Punch List Date, then in either such case, Buyer shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to provide any notice to Seller specifying the particular deficiency, omission or delay. If Buyer elects to deliver such notice to Seller, then Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, to cause the Construction Team to take all steps reasonably necessary to correct any deficiency, omission or delay in the Project in order to cause the Project to achieve Substantial Completion by the Outside Completion Date in accordance with the Plans and Specifications. In the event that Seller reasonably objects to such notice from Buyer, the parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days to determine whether any such corrective work may be required; provided, that if the parties shall not have reached agreement with respect to such corrective work, then the parties shall jointly engage Xxxxxx Gay Xxxx Civil Engineers, if a civil engineering issue, or Xxxx Xxxxxxx, if an architectural issue, to make a final determination as to whether any such corrective work is required to complete the Project in accordance with the Plans and Specifications. Following the delivery of any such notice, Buyer may reasonably request that Seller schedule additional meetings with the relevant members of the Construction Team. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of Section 6(a) above, Buyer may, from time to time, reasonably request certain modifications to the Plans and Specifications, and Seller shall implement such requests without adjustment to the Purchase Price so long as Seller reasonably determines that such modifications would not (x) increase Seller’s cost, expense or liability (except to a de minimis extent) or (y) otherwise cause any material delay in the construction or development of the Project; provided, that the implementation of any such modifications to the Plans and Specifications shall not be deemed to be a condition to Buyer’s obligations hereunder.
(d) The failure of Buyer and/or any of Buyer’s Agents to give any other notice described in this Section 8 shall not be considered a waiver of any of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all rights of Buyer arising from any default by Seller hereunder). Further, Buyer shall have no liability to Seller for any inaccuracies or omissions in such notices.
18
(e) The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive Closing until the release of the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms of the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement.
9. Conditions to Closing.
(a) Conditions to Buyer’s Obligation to Purchase the Property. Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property at Closing is expressly conditioned upon each of the following:
(i) performance in all material respects of the obligations and covenants of Seller hereunder;
(ii) Substantial Completion shall have been achieved;
(iii) delivery by Seller of the deliverables set forth in Section 12, including, without limitation, the Deed, and possession as provided in Section 15 hereof;
(iv) delivery at the Closing of a standard 2006 form of American Land Title Association owner’s policy of title insurance (the “Title Policy”), including survey coverage, in the amount of the Purchase Price issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”), insuring that fee title to the Land vests in Buyer subject only to the Permitted Exceptions with full mechanics’ lien coverage, and Seller hereby agrees to provide any additional assurances that the Title Company reasonably requests with respect to any Punch List Items that remain outstanding pursuant to the terms of this Agreement following the Closing. At its option and its sole cost and expense, Buyer may direct the Title Company to issue additional title insurance endorsements so long as the issuance of such endorsements would not otherwise delay the Closing;
(v) the Leases shall be in full force and effect, there shall be no default, nor shall there be any facts, circumstances or conditions that would give rise to a default with the passage of time and/or giving of notice, under any Lease and no tenant under any of the Leases shall, on the Closing Date, be a debtor in a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or shall have filed for bankruptcy or insolvency, under any applicable bankruptcy laws, provided, that, the Tenant Estoppel shall control as to any dispute with respect to this condition precedent;
(vi) with respect to the Leases, (i) (a) there shall be no outstanding credits due and payable by Seller to any tenant under any Lease, (b) all base building and other tenant improvement work to be performed by Seller under the Leases shall have been completed in accordance with the Leases (other than any Punch-List Items) and (c) all payments due to tenants under the Leases as landlord contribution towards tenant’s work shall have been paid in full to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction, which may be evidenced by the Tenant Estoppel, or (ii) Seller shall have issued Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of any credits and/or contributions due and payable to any tenant under any Lease in accordance with Section 16(h) hereof;
19
(vii) with respect to the Barsan Lease, (a) Barsan shall have (1) delivered the Lease Confirmation Certificate (as defined in the Barsan Lease) to Seller in the form attached to the Barsan Lease, (2) accepted the premises and taken occupancy and (3) commenced rent payments and (b) a temporary certificate of occupancy for Barsan’s intended use of the premises shall have been issued by the applicable governmental authorities (which certificate of occupancy may state that it is conditioned upon the completion of the Punch-List Items), in each case, as contemplated under the Barsan Lease;
(viii) with respect to the Barsan Lease, and to the extent that any Leases are entered into by Seller prior to the Closing Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 16(d), receipt by Buyer of executed estoppel certificates (each, a “Tenant Estoppel”), dated not earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, from all tenants under any Lease entered into in accordance with the express terms and provisions of this Agreement, in the form reasonably acceptable to Buyer or such other form as is specified in the applicable Lease; provided, however, that an estoppel certificate shall not be satisfactory if it (i) indicates any default of any tenant or Seller as landlord under any Lease, (ii) does not confirm the rent and any other monthly payments due under the applicable Lease, or (iii) indicates any conflict with, or contains information contradictory to, the terms and conditions of the applicable Lease or any of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall provide Seller with drafts of such estoppel certificates at least three (3) business days before such draft estoppel certificates are sent to the tenant(s) in order to accomplish the foregoing timeline. Seller shall promptly (and in no event more than three (3) business days following receipt thereof) deliver to Buyer copies of any and all estoppel certificates received from any tenant, including, without limitation, copies of any comments or proposed revisions thereto, promptly upon Seller’s receipt thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s delivery of any Tenant Estoppel in the form required under any applicable Lease shall satisfy this Section 9(a)(viii) and Seller’s failure to provide any Tenant Estoppel in any form other than what is required under the applicable Lease (if a form of estoppel certificate is actually attached to such Lease) shall not constitute either a breach of this Section 9(a)(viii) or a default by Seller under this Agreement nor constitute a failure of a condition to Buyer’s obligations hereunder;
(ix) Buyer’s receipt of a recorded copy of the Encroachment Agreement in the records of the Superior Court of Chatham County, Georgia; and
(x) the Seller’s Representations (a) shall have been true and correct when made and (b) true and correct in all material respects as of the date of Closing Date with the same effect as if made on and as of such date.
In the event that any of the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 9(a) are not waived or fulfilled, Buyer may (i) extend the Closing Date until such condition is satisfied, which extension right may include any extension right exercised pursuant to the terms and provisions of this
20
Agreement, (ii) waive the satisfaction of such condition and consummate the purchase and sale of the Property on the Closing Date, or (iii) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Buyer, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall cease and terminate without any further liability of either party to the other (except for those that expressly survive termination as provided in this Agreement), and this Agreement shall become null and void (except in the event such failure is a result of a default hereunder by Seller, in which event Buyer shall have all rights and remedies available to Buyer under Section 18(b) hereunder). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Buyer elects to extend the Closing Date pursuant to subclause (i) above, and after such extension the condition precedent is not satisfied, then Buyer may elect to exercise its rights set forth in subclause (ii) or (iii) above. By closing the transaction contemplated under this Agreement, Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have waived the benefit of any remaining unfulfilled conditions precedent set forth in this Section 9(a).
(b) Conditions to Seller’s Obligation to Close the Purchase and Sale of the Property. Seller’s obligation to close the purchase and sale of the Property is expressly conditioned upon each of the following:
(i) performance in all material respects of the obligations and covenants of, and receipt of all deliveries required of, Buyer hereunder;
(ii) the Buyer’s Representations (a) shall have been true and correct when made and (b) true and correct in all material respects as of the date of Closing Date with the same effect as if made on and as of such date; and
(iii) receipt of the Purchase Price, subject to any prorations and adjustments as set forth herein.
In the that event any of the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 9(b) are not waived or fulfilled, Seller may (i) extend the Closing Date until such condition is satisfied, which extension right may include any extension right exercised pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, (ii) waive the satisfaction of such condition and consummate the purchase and sale of the Property on the Closing Date, or (iii) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, in which event, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Buyer, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall cease and terminate without any further liability of either party to the other (except for those that expressly survive termination as provided in this Agreement), and this Agreement shall become null and void (except in the event such failure is a result of a default hereunder by Buyer, in which event Seller shall have all rights and remedies available to Seller under Section 18(a) hereunder). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Seller elects to extend the Closing Date pursuant to subclause (i) above, and after such extension the condition precedent is not satisfied, then Seller may elect to exercise its rights set forth in subclause (ii) or (iii) above.
10. Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Property (the “Closing”) shall be in escrow at or before 5:00 P.M. (Atlanta, Georgia local time) on or before the date which is fifteen (15) days following the Substantial Completion Date (as such date may be extended pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement, the “Closing Date”).
21
11. Prorations and Adjustments to Purchase Price. Seller and Buyer agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to determine and approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) the amounts of the prorations in accordance with this Agreement at least three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date. Thereafter, Buyer and Seller shall each inform Escrow Agent of such amounts. The following prorations and adjustments shall be made between Buyer and Seller at Closing:
(a) All city, state and county ad valorem taxes and similar impositions levied or imposed upon or assessed against the Property (the “Taxes”) for the year in which Closing occurs shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.
(b) All utility charges for the Property (including, without limitation, telephone, water, storm and sanitary sewer, electricity, gas, garbage and waste removal) that are not required to be reimbursed or paid directly by tenants under the Leases shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, any transfer fees required with respect to any such utility shall be paid by or charged to Buyer, and Seller shall be credited with any deposits transferred to the account of Buyer; provided, however, that at either party’s election any one or more of such utility accounts shall be closed as of the Closing Date, in which event Seller shall be liable and responsible for all charges for service through the Closing Date and shall be entitled to all deposits theretofore made by Seller with respect to such utility, and Buyer shall be responsible for reopening and reinstituting such service in Buyer’s name, and shall be responsible for any fees, charges and deposits required in connection with such new account.
(c) With respect to any Leases entered into in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 16:
(i) all rents (including base rent and all other rental amounts under the Leases), payments for taxes, payments for insurance, payments for common area maintenance charges, payments for operating expenses and/or utilities and other payments on account of financial obligations of tenants under the Leases, if any (the “Tenant Financial Obligations”), including any such obligations paid based on estimated amounts for charges that are yet to be finally determined, which have actually been paid as of the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. In the event that, at the time of Closing, there are any past due or delinquent Tenant Financial Obligations, Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts to collect such past due or delinquent Tenant Financial Obligations. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make such additional collection efforts as Seller shall deem appropriate in its commercially reasonable judgement. Subsequent to Closing, all monies received from or on behalf of any tenant owing delinquent Tenant Financial Obligations shall be applied and paid as follows: (i) such monies shall first be paid to Seller for delinquent or due but unpaid Tenant Financial Obligations applicable to periods up to and including the Closing Date; and (ii) such monies shall then be paid to Buyer for Tenant Financial Obligations owing to Buyer for periods after the Closing Date. In the event that any Tenant Financial Obligations paid by tenants under the Leases shall be based upon estimates of actual
22
amounts due and are subject to subsequent adjustment with the tenant, Seller and Buyer shall make between themselves any equitable adjustment required by reason of any such subsequent adjustment with the tenant at the time of such subsequent adjustment. Seller shall receive a credit at Closing for (i) any Tenant Financial Obligations which are not yet delinquent for more than thirty (30) days, and (ii) any Tenant Financial Obligations which become due and payable after Closing for periods prior to Closing. Further, in the event that, subsequent to Closing, Seller receives any payments of Tenant Financial Obligations due from tenants under the Leases and applicable to the period following the Closing Date, Seller shall properly endorse such payments to Buyer, and shall promptly forward such payments to Buyer.
(ii) Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of all, if any, cash refundable security deposits and other cash refundable deposits held by Seller with respect to the Leases (and, after Closing, shall be solely responsible to each tenant for such security deposits and other refundable deposits) or, in the event that any security deposits under the Leases are held in the form of a letter of credit, then Seller agrees to deliver into escrow (with instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver to the issuing bank) executed transfer forms required by the issuing bank of any security deposits which are held in the form of a letter of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) if the same are transferable and the issuing bank agrees to such “escrow-style” transfer. If the Letter of Credit is not transferable or if the issuing bank does not agree to such “escrow-style” transfer, then Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and use commercially reasonable efforts (including, without limitation, executing such documentation as the issuing bank may require) to cause the tenant obligated under the Letter of Credit to cause a new letter of credit to be issued in favor of Buyer in replacement thereof as soon as practicable following Closing. Buyer and Seller shall diligently pursue such replacement after Closing and, until such transfer or issuance, Seller shall take all reasonable actions as directed by Buyer in connection with the presentment of the Letter of Credit for payment as permitted under the terms of the applicable tenant Lease.
(d) All amounts payable under any of the Contracts (if any) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.
(e) All items of income and expense affecting the Property and any other items which are customarily prorated in connection with the purchase and sale of properties similar to the Property shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.
In the event that the amount of any item to be prorated is not determinable at the time of Closing, such proration shall be made on the basis of the best available information, and the parties shall re-prorate such item promptly upon receipt of the applicable bills therefor and shall make between themselves any equitable adjustment required by reason of any difference between the estimated amount used as a basis for the proration at Closing and the actual amount subject to proration. In the event any prorated item is due and payable at the time of Closing, the same shall be paid at Closing. If any prorated item is not paid at Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the bills therefor promptly upon receipt thereof and Buyer shall be responsible for the payment in full thereof within the time fixed for payment thereof and before the same shall become delinquent. In making the prorations required by this Section 11, the economic burdens and benefits of ownership of the Property for the Closing Date shall be allocated to Seller. This paragraph shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months.
23

Seller shall cooperate, and shall cause the Construction Team to cooperate, with all reasonable requests of Buyer and Buyer’s property manager in connection with the initial lease-up of the Property. Seller shall provide a written request to Buyer for approval of any new contract or any lease, which Buyer shall approve or disapprove within ten (10) business days following receipt thereof; provided, that if Buyer does
30
not timely respond within such ten (10) business day-period, Seller shall deliver a second notice to Buyer requesting approval or disapproval of such matter, and if Buyer does not respond to such second notice within five (5) business days following receipt thereof, such new contract or lease, as applicable, shall be deemed approved by Buyer.

(h) Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions. Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay at or prior to Closing, any and all leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs payable in connection with any Leases and shall deliver to Buyer evidence of such payment at Buyer’s request. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any manner arising out of, by reason of or in connection with any claims, demands, actions and judgments relating to Seller’s failure to pay tenant improvement costs and/or leasing commissions for the initial base term only under any Lease that was entered into by Seller prior to the Closing Date (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any extensions, amendments, modifications or renewals thereof made by Buyer following Closing). In the event that any leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs remain unpaid by Seller at Closing, Buyer shall assume from Seller the obligation to pay all such leasing commissions and/or tenant improvement costs; provided, that Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for any such leasing commissions and/or tenant improvement costs outstanding as of Closing.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer and its lender(s) in connection with any financing of the acquisition of the Property. For avoidance of doubt, Seller’s failure to obtain the SNDAs shall not constitute either a breach of this Section 16(i) or a default by Seller under this Agreement nor constitute a failure of a condition to Buyer’s obligations hereunder so long as Seller uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such SNDAs.
(j) The provisions of Section 16(b) and (c) shall survive Closing until the release of the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms of the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement
17. Representations and Warranties.
(a) Seller’s Representations. The matters set forth in this Section 17(a) constitute representations and warranties by Seller (collectively, “Seller’s Representations”) which are now and (subject to Section 9(a) and the provisions of this Section 17(a)) shall, in all material respects, at Closing be true and correct. If at any time prior to Closing, Seller learns, or has a reason to believe, that any of the representation set forth in this Section 17(a) may cease to be true and correct, then Seller shall give written notice to Buyer within three (3) days thereof (an “Update Notice”) (which notice shall include copies of the instrument, correspondence or document, if any, in Seller’s possession upon which Seller’s notice is based). If (x) Buyer otherwise obtains knowledge, and provides written notice to Seller, that any of Seller’s Representations cease to be true and correct in all material respects, then Buyer shall provide Seller written notice of such alleged fact or circumstance and any objection of Buyer with respect thereto within three (3) days of Buyer’s receipt of it obtaining knowledge thereof, and/or (y) Seller delivers an Update Notice and Buyer has an objection to the content of such Update Notice, then Buyer shall deliver notice of its objection within three (3) days of Buyer’s receipt of such Update Notice (in each case under subclause (x) or (y), a “R&W Objection Notice”). If Seller has not remedied such fact or circumstance or cured Buyer’s objection within ten (10) days of delivery of receipt of such R&W Objection Notice (provided that, Seller shall be afforded up to thirty (30) days to remedy any fact or circumstance or cure any objection that cannot reasonably be remedied within such ten (10) day period, so long as Seller shall have commenced such remedy or cure action within such ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same, and the Closing Date may be extended in order to allow Seller such time periods), then Buyer may promptly terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately refunded to Buyer, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall cease and terminate without any further liability of either party to the other (except for those that expressly survive termination as provided in this Agreement) and this Agreement shall become null and void. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) Seller shall have the right to modify Seller’s Representations to reflect any change in circumstances first arising after the Effective Date and not occurring as a result of a breach of this Agreement by Seller or any act or omission of Seller, so long as Seller shall have provided an Update Notice to Buyer with respect thereto in accordance with this Section 17 (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer may object to such
32
change in circumstances by providing a R&W Objection Notice in response thereto), (ii) if Buyer elects not to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing provision, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such condition and elected to proceed to Closing without any abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price on account of such R&W Objection Notice and Buyer shall not be permitted to make a claim following Closing for a breach by Seller of such representation or warranty, and (iii) if Buyer has actual knowledge of a breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement or any condition/matter with respect to the Property prior to Closing and Buyer nevertheless elects to close the transaction described herein, such representation or warranty by Seller shall be deemed to have been modified to reflect the information of which Buyer has actual knowledge and Buyer shall not be permitted to make a claim following Closing for a breach by Seller of such representation or warranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of the Due Diligence Materials. For the avoidance of doubt, if any of Seller’s Representations shall cease to be true and correct as the result of any default or breach by Seller hereunder, then Buyer shall have all of its rights and remedies hereunder.

The parties acknowledge that Seller’s actual damages in the event of a Material Default by Buyer will be difficult to ascertain, that such liquidated damages represent the parties’ best estimate of such damages, and that Seller and Buyer believe such liquidated damages are a reasonable estimate of such damages. The parties expressly acknowledge that the foregoing liquidated damages are intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages, in the event of a Material Default by Buyer hereunder. In no event shall Seller have the right to recover from Buyer any special, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages. Such liquidated damages shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller by reason of a Material Default by Buyer, and Seller hereby waives and releases any right to xxx Buyer for specific performance of this Agreement or to prove that Seller’s actual damages exceed the amount which is herein provided to Seller as full liquidated damages; provided, however, that the foregoing liquidated damages shall not apply to any duty, obligation, liability or responsibility which Buyer may have under the indemnification provisions of Buyer under Section 4 or 22, as to which Seller shall have all rights and remedies provided for or allowed by law or in equity.

41
liability of either party to the other (except for those that expressly survive termination as provided in this Agreement), and this Agreement shall become null and void, (y) receive reimbursement by Seller of Buyer’s Transaction Costs (as defined below), and (z) only in the event that Seller fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure a default after receipt by Seller from Buyer of written notice thereof, Buyer shall also be entitled to recover from Seller damages in an amount equal to the sum of interest that would have accrued on the Xxxxxxx Money then-held by Escrow Agent (from the date on which such amounts were deposited until the time of such default) assuming an interest rate equal to thirteen percent (13%) per annum; or (2) Buyer shall have the right to xxx Seller for specific performance of this Agreement, provided, that, if Buyer elects to proceed pursuant to the foregoing subsection (2) above and specific performance is unavailable due to Seller’s conveyance of the Property to a third party, then Buyer shall be entitled to receive from Seller liquidated damages in the amount of the Xxxxxxx Money then-held by Escrow Agent and shall be entitled to the remedies set forth in subsection (1) above.

The parties expressly acknowledge that the foregoing liquidated damages are intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages, in the event Buyer is entitled to such pursuant to the forgoing Section 18(b)(ii). In no event shall Buyer have the right to recover from Seller any special, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages. The inability of Seller to convey good and marketable fee simple title to the Property on the Closing Date shall not constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement unless such inability is caused by an act of omission of Seller or Seller’s failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
“Buyer’s Transaction Costs” shall mean the documented out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereunder, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, such amount not to exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) in the aggregate, and such documentation shall include, with respect to attorney’s fees, all receipts and detailed invoices (showing all hourly rates, hours worked, detailed descriptions of tasks completed and other matters related thereto (with attorney-client privileged descriptions redacted)) and, with respect to all other service providers, if applicable, receipts or reasonable supporting documentation evidencing costs incurred by Buyer.

42
period not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days in the aggregate) (the “Threshold”), then Buyer shall have the right, at Buyer’s option, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller on or before the date ten (10) days after the date upon which Seller gives Buyer written notice of such casualty, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Buyer promptly upon request, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall cease and terminate without any further liability of either party to the other (except for those that expressly survive termination as provided in this Agreement), and this Agreement shall become null and void. In the event of lesser damage or destruction after the Due Diligence Date that is not equal to or greater than the Threshold, Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement by reason of such damage or destruction, however (i) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the total of any insurance proceeds actually received by Seller on or before the Closing Date with respect to such casualty and not expended by Seller prior to Closing for the repair or restoration of the Improvements; and (ii) at Closing, Seller shall assign to Buyer all rights of Seller in and to any insurance proceeds payable thereafter by reason of such casualty and Buyer shall receive a credit for the amount of any deductible with respect thereto.

In the event that Buyer shall not have elected to terminate this Agreement as a result thereof, Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement by reason of such taking.

acquired in whole or in part through the exercise of Buyer’s inspection rights, including information or contents of any property condition assessment or environmental reports and the results of any investigation of the Property, and (ii) all information regarding the Property of whatsoever nature made available to Buyer by Seller or its agents and representatives (collectively, the “Confidential Information”) shall be deemed and kept strictly confidential, as such is confidential property of Seller as owner of the Property prior to the Closing Date, but shall become the sole, confidential property of Buyer from and after the Closing Date. Buyer agrees not to use, or allow to be used, any such Confidential Information for any purpose other than to determine whether to proceed with the transaction contemplated herein, or if same is consummated, in connection with the operation of the Property post-Closing.
(b) If the purchase and sale of the Property is not consummated, regardless of the reason or the party at fault, Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller or destroy, with notice of such destruction being sent by Buyer to Seller (subject, in all cases, to any applicable corporate retention policy), all Confidential Information provided by Seller.
(c) No Confidential Information shall be disclosed by Buyer or its agents, consultants or employees to any third party without Seller’s prior written approval, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, unless and until Buyer is legally compelled or required by law or operation of legal process to make such disclosure under applicable laws or until after Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may disclose such matters to Buyer’s Agents who, in Buyer’s reasonable opinion, must know such information for the purpose of evaluating the same for Buyer as a potential purchaser of the Property and then only upon making such person aware of the confidentiality restrictions and instructing such person to abide by this confidentiality obligation. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Buyer’s Agent(s) to maintain all Confidential Information in accordance with this Section 21 (provided, that in no event shall Buyer be responsible for any breach of the confidentiality obligations herein by any of Buyer’s Agents). The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any information that (i) at the time of disclosure is generally available to and known by the public (other than as a result of its disclosure or any action or inaction by Buyer or Buyer’s Agents in breach of this Agreement), (ii) was available to Buyer on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Seller from a person who is not actually known by Buyer to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with Seller, or is not otherwise actually known by Buyer to be prohibited from transmitting the Confidential Information to Buyer, (iii) becomes available to Buyer on a non-confidential basis from a person who is not actually known by Buyer to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with Seller, or is not otherwise actually known by Buyer to be prohibited from transmitting the Confidential Information to Buyer, or (iv) was or is developed by Buyer or Buyer’s Agents independently of any disclosure made hereunder and non-derivative of, or directly or indirectly based on, any such Confidential Information.
(d) Neither Seller nor Buyer shall at any time issue a press release or otherwise communicate with media representatives regarding this sale and purchase unless (i) such release or communication does not disclose the identity of the Buyer X.X. Xxxxxx Investment Management Inc. or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and the releasing party provides the other party hereto with at least five (5) days prior notice of such release or communication, or (ii) such release or communication has received the prior approval of the other party hereto.
44
(e) The provisions of this Section 21 shall survive the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property or any termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
22. Broker and Commission. Seller and Buyer warrant and represent to each other that all negotiations related to this Agreement and the purchase and sale of the Property as contemplated by and provided for in this Agreement have been conducted by and between Seller and Buyer without the intervention of any person or other party as agent or broker, with the exception of Broker (as defined below). Seller warrants and represents to Buyer that, other than Xxxxx Xxxx LaSalle (the “Broker”), Seller has not entered into any agreement or arrangement and have not received services from any broker or broker’s employees or independent contractors which would give rise to any claim of lien or lien against the Property, and there are and will be no broker’s commissions or fees payable in connection with this Agreement or the purchase and sale of the Property by reason of its dealings, negotiations or communications except the commission payable by Seller to Broker at Closing, pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Broker. Buyer warrants and represents to Seller that Buyer has not entered into any agreement or arrangement and has not received services from any broker or broker’s employees or independent contractors which would give rise to any claim of lien or lien against the Property, and there are and will be no broker’s commissions or fees payable in connection with this Agreement or the purchase and sale of the Property by reason of its dealings, negotiations or communications. Seller and Buyer shall and do each hereby indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the others from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any manner arising out of, by reason of or in connection with the claims, demands, actions and judgments of any and all brokers, agents and other intermediaries alleging a commission, fee or other payment to be owing by reason of their respective dealings, negotiations or communications in connection with this Agreement or the purchase and sale of the Property. The provisions of this Section 22 shall survive the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property or any termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
23. Survival. The provisions of this Section 23 and Sections 3, 4(a), 4(d), 4(e), 11, 14, 16(h), 18, 21, 22, 25(q) and 25(r) of this Agreement shall survive any termination or cancellation of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property, the delivery of the Deed and the payment of the Purchase Price. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 23 or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the terms and provisions hereof shall not survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property, the delivery of the Deed and the payment of the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and subject to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 17(a) hereof, the Seller’s Representations shall survive the Closing, the delivery of the Deed and the payment of the Purchase Price for a period of seven (7) months after the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”), except to the extent that Buyer shall have notified Seller in writing, of a claim based on the breach thereof and commences an action on or before the expiration of the Survival Period, in which case such specific representation shall survive until final resolutions thereof. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall (A) a claim for breach of representation or warranty be made unless the claims, individually or in the aggregate, shall be in excess of $50,000 after taking into account all prior claims, and (B)
45
Seller be liable to Buyer for consequential, speculative, exemplary, remote or punitive damages, or any other damages, and Buyer hereby waives and releases any right to seek or collect any such consequential, speculative, exemplary, remote or punitive damages, or any damages other than Buyer’s actual damages as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cap” shall mean the total aggregate amount equal to ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,500,000). For avoidance of doubt, the Cap set forth in the preceding sentence shall not apply to a breach of Section 22. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in consideration of Seller’s post-closing obligations set forth in this Section 23, Seller covenants to Buyer that it shall not liquidate, dissolve, wind-up, or consolidate or merge with any other entity in whole or in part during the Survival Period and shall at all times during the Survival Period maintain a liquid net worth of at least $1,500,000.00 (the “Financial Covenant”); provided, however, if Buyer has filed a legal proceeding against Seller under this Agreement during the Survival Period, then Seller shall continue to maintain the Financial Covenant after the Survival Period until the litigation has been resolved in an amount equal to the aggregate claims in such lawsuit up to the Cap. Xxxxx Xxxxx, an individual residing in the State of Florida, and Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, an individual residing in the State of Florida (collectively, the “Guarantor”) is executing this Agreement for the purpose of guaranteeing Seller’s compliance with the Financial Covenant set forth in this Section 23. In the event that Seller fails to maintain the Financial Covenant, Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees to provide Seller with funds in an amount sufficient to satisfy the Financial Covenant. Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in this Section 23 are a material inducement to Buyer entering into the transactions contemplated hereby. This Section 23 shall survive the Closing.
24. Seller’s Tax Deferred Exchange. Buyer may acquire the Property or any portion thereof or interest therein as part of one or more Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 Tax Deferred Exchanges for its benefit. Seller agrees to assist and cooperate in any such exchange and to execute any and all documents as are reasonably necessary in connection with any such exchange, provided that Seller shall not be obligated to incur any cost or expense in connection with any such exchange. Seller’s obligation to sell the Property, and Buyer’s obligation to buy the Property, pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be conditioned on Buyer’s ability to acquire the property as part of a Tax Deferred Exchange. Buyer acknowledges that Seller may desire to sell the Property as part of one or more Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 Tax Deferred Exchanges for its benefit. Buyer agrees to assist and cooperate in any such exchange and to execute any and all documents as are reasonably necessary in connection with any such exchange, provided that Buyer shall not be obligated to incur any cost or expense in connection with any such exchange.
25. General Provisions.
(a) Notices.

Any notice, demand or request not received because of changed address or electronic mail address of which no notice was given as hereinabove provided or because of refusal to accept delivery shall be deemed received by the party to whom addressed on the date of hand delivery, on the first calendar day after deposit with commercial courier, or on the date of electronic mail transmittal, as the case may be.
(b) Counterparts; PDF as a Writing. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and it shall not be necessary that the signatures of the parties hereto be contained on any one counterpart hereof. Additionally: (i) the signature pages taken from separate individually executed counterparts of this Agreement may be combined to form multiple fully executed counterparts; and (ii) electronic delivery of signature (i.e., transmission by any party of its signature on an original or any copy of this Agreement by electronic mail over the internet in electronic format (e.g., so-called “PDF” or “portable document format” or DocuSign)) shall be deemed to be the delivery by such party of its original signature hereon. All executed counterparts of this Agreement shall be deemed to be originals, but all such counterparts, taken together or collectively, as the case may be, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Notwithstanding any statutory or decisional law to the contrary, notices and documents delivered by electronic delivery (i.e., transmission by electronic mail over the internet in electronic format (e.g., so-called “PDF” or “portable document format”)) shall be deemed to be “written” and a “writing” for all purposes of this Agreement.
(c) Assignment; Successors and Assigns. Except as expressly provided in this Section 25(c), this Agreement may not be assigned by Buyer, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Seller, and any such assignment without the consent of Seller shall be null and void and of no force or effect. Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement to another entity provided that (i) Buyer notifies Seller of such assignment and the identity of the assignee at least ten (10) days prior to Closing, and (ii) such entity is under common control with Buyer, wholly-owned by Buyer or is a joint venture, or a subsidiary of a joint venture, in which Buyer is a member. Any such assignee shall assume in writing all the obligations and liabilities of Buyer hereunder. All terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns (other than any construction lender in connection with the Construction Loan).

this Agreement by such reference or other mention at each point at which such reference or other mention occurs, in the same manner and with the same effect as if each exhibit were set forth in full and at length every time it is referred to or otherwise mentioned.
(f) Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them at the point where first defined, irrespective of where their use occurs, with the same effect as if the definitions of such terms were set forth in full and at length every time such terms are used.
(g) Pronouns. Wherever appropriate in this Agreement, personal pronouns shall be deemed to include the other genders and the singular to include the plural.
(h) Severability. If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall ever be held to be invalid or unenforceable, then in each such event the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term, covenant, condition or provision to any other person or any other circumstance (other than those as to which it shall be invalid or unenforceable) shall not be thereby affected, and each term, covenant, condition and provision hereof shall remain valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(i) Non-Waiver. Failure by any party to complain of any action, non-action or breach of any other party shall not constitute a waiver of any aggrieved party’s rights hereunder. Waiver by any party of any right arising from any breach of any other party shall not constitute a waiver of any other right arising from a subsequent breach of the same obligation or for any other default, past, present or future.
(j) Time of Essence; Dates. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. Anywhere a day certain is stated for payment or for performance of any obligation, the day certain so stated enters into and becomes a part of the consideration for this Agreement. If any date set forth in this Agreement shall fall on, or any time period set forth in this Agreement shall expire on, a day which is a Saturday, Sunday, federal or state holiday, or other non-business day, such date shall automatically be extended to, and the expiration of such time period shall automatically be extended to, the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, federal or state holiday or other non-business day.

This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of Seller and Buyer.
48
(m) Attorneys’ Fees. Should any party hereto employ an attorney for the purpose of enforcing or construing this Agreement, or any judgment based on this Agreement, in any legal proceeding whatsoever, including insolvency, bankruptcy, arbitration, declaratory relief or other litigation, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the other party or parties thereto reimbursement for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all costs, including but not limited to service of process, filing fees, court and court reporter costs, investigative costs, expert witness fees and the cost of any bonds, whether taxable or not, and such reimbursement shall be included in any judgment, decree or final order issued in that proceeding. The “prevailing party” means the party in whose favor a judgment, decree, or final order is rendered.

Seller and Buyer acknowledge each to the other that both they and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments or exhibits hereto.

Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, Buyer shall deliver an executed termination of the Memorandum to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent and released to Seller (or recorded in the applicable land records at Seller’s request) in the event of a default by Buyer hereunder. The obligations under this Section 25(q) shall survive termination of this Agreement.
(r) Books and Records; Financial Information. Buyer has advised Seller that Buyer (or any direct or indirect owner of Buyer or affiliate thereof) may be required to file, in compliance with certain laws and regulations (including, without limitation, Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission rules), audited financial statements, pro forma financial statements and other financial information related to the Property (the “Financial Information”). If requested by Buyer or any of its affiliates following the Closing, Seller agrees to (1) use its commercially reasonable efforts, at no cost or expense to Seller, to cooperate with Buyer and its affiliates in preparing the Financial Information, including, if requested by Buyer
49
or any of its affiliates, using commercially reasonable efforts to (i) make available to Buyer information regarding the Property that is in the possession of Seller or of any manager of the Property and that is reasonably necessary for Buyer and its representatives and agents to prepare the Financial Information and (ii) make employees of Seller or of any manager of the Property who have knowledge of the Property, and any accountant of Seller, available for interview by Buyer or its affiliates, and (2) deliver a customary representation letter in such form as is reasonably required by Buyer’s third-party accountants (the “Accountants”), with such facts and assumptions as reasonably determined by the Accountants to make such certificate accurate, signed by the individual(s) responsible for Seller’s financial reporting, as prescribed by generally accepted auditing standards promulgated by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. In addition, at the request of Buyer or any of its affiliates, to the extent that Seller’s financial statements for the Property have been previously audited, Seller also agrees to (1) provide a copy of such financial statements to Buyer and (2) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the auditor of Seller’s financial statements to provide its consent to the inclusion of its report, without exception or qualification, with respect to such audited financial statements, and to provide to Buyer and/or their affiliates or the underwriters or purchaser in any financing with appropriate comfort letters in accordance with the American Institute of Public Accountants’ professional standards. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller, each Seller Party and any other employee, person or entity acting on behalf of Seller free and harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, liens, losses, injury, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) suffered, incurred or sustained by any such indemnified party in connection with this Section 25(r), but excluding any losses suffered, incurred or sustained by such indemnified party as a result of Seller’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation. In no event shall Buyer be entitled to assert any cause of action against Seller nor any indemnified party, nor shall any indemnified party have any personal liability whatsoever for any matter under or related to this Section 25(r). The provisions of this Section 25(r) shall survive Closing.

Escrow Instructions
1.1 Duties of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall not be bound in any way by any other agreement or contract between Seller and Buyer, whether or not Escrow Agent has knowledge thereof. Escrow Agent’s only duties and responsibilities shall be to hold the Xxxxxxx Money and other documents delivered to it as agent and to dispose of the Xxxxxxx Money and such documents in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to protect the Xxxxxxx Money and shall not be responsible for any failure to demand, collect or enforce any obligation with respect to the Xxxxxxx Money or for any diminution in value of the Xxxxxxx Money from any cause, other than Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Seller and Buyer hereby jointly agree to indemnify, defend and hold Escrow Agent harmless against any and all loss, damage or expense (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, if any, and the enforcement of this indemnity) which it may incur by reason of performance, in the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence, of its obligations and duties as Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent may, at the expense of Seller and Buyer, consult with counsel and accountants in connection with its duties under this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in any act taken, suffered or permitted by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel and accountants. Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any action hereunder that may, in its reasonable judgment, involve it in any liability unless Escrow Agent shall have been furnished with reasonable indemnity satisfactory in amount, form and substance to Escrow Agent.
1.2 Disputes. Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Xxxxxxx Money. If there is any dispute as to whether Escrow Agent is obligated to deliver the Xxxxxxx Money or as to whom the Xxxxxxx Money is to be delivered, Escrow Agent shall not make any delivery, but shall hold the Xxxxxxx Money until receipt by Escrow Agent of an authorization in writing, signed by all the parties having an interest in the dispute, directing the disposition of the Xxxxxxx Money, or, in the absence of authorization, Escrow Agent shall hold the Xxxxxxx Money until the final determination of the rights of the parties in an appropriate proceeding. Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity or validity of any notice, instruction, instrument, document or other item delivered to it, and it shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with any written notice, direction or instruction given to it under this Agreement and believed by it to be authentic. If written authorization is not given, or proceedings for a determination are not begun, within thirty (30) days after the date scheduled for the Closing Date and diligently continued, Escrow Agent may, but is not required to, bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Xxxxxxx Money with a court of the State of New York pending a determination. Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses of any action or proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in its capacity as Escrow Agent, by the party determined not to be entitled to the Xxxxxxx Money. Upon making
delivery of the Xxxxxxx Money in the manner provided in this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall have no further liability hereunder. In no event shall Escrow Agent be under any duty to institute, defend or participate in any proceeding that may arise between Seller and Buyer in connection with the Xxxxxxx Money.
