PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
This Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") entered into as of this 15th day of June, 2020, by and between DANNEMANN, LLC (the "Seller") and AEI PROPERTY CORPORATION, a Minnesota corporation, or its assigns (the "Buyer"). The date on which last party hereto executes this Agreement is hereafter referred to as the “Effective Date”.
In consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
1. Property. Seller is the owner of a parcel of real property, with all improvements thereon, known generally as 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, currently leased for use as a Talecris Plasma collection facility, such property being more particularly legally described on Exhibit “ A” attached hereto (collectively, the “Property”). The Property includes all of Seller’s rights and interests in and to all Leases of the Property, buildings, and other improvements on or within the Property or appurtenant thereto, including easements, warranties, guaranties, indemnities, and covenants. Seller wishes to sell and Buyer wishes to purchase the Property on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
2. Lease. The Property is being sold subject to an existing Lease of the Property, dated June 6, 2008, as amended (collectively, the "Lease") by and between Seller, as lessor and Talecris Plasma Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as lessee (the "Tenant"). The Tenant’s obligations under the Lease are guaranteed by Grifols Shared Services North America, Inc. (“Lease Guarantor”), pursuant to that certain Guaranty attached to the original Lease.
3. Closing Date. The closing date on Buyer’s purchase of the Property (the "Closing Date") shall be five (5) business days from the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or any Adverse Change Review Period. However, the Closing Date may be earlier upon the mutual agreement of the parties.
4. Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property is $5,394,900 (the "Purchase Price"). If all conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligations to purchase have been satisfied, Buyer shall deposit immediately available funds in the amount of the Purchase Price with the Closing Agent (as defined below) on or before the Closing Date.
Within three (3) business days of Effective Date, Buyer will deposit $50,000 (the "Xxxxxxx Money") in an interest bearing account with First American Title Insurance Company, 0000 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, XX 00000, Xxxx Xxx; phone number: (303)
000-0000; email: xxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx (the “Closing Agent” or “Title Company”). As used in this Agreement, the term “Xxxxxxx Money” shall mean the amount deposited by Buyer, together with all interest accrued thereon or deemed to have accrued thereon, as provided above. One Hundred Dollars of the Xxxxxxx Money shall be considered non-refundable option consideration in consideration for the parties having entered into this Agreement. Any return
of the Xxxxxxx Money to Buyer pursuant to the terms hereof shall be less the option consideration.
If for any reason (other than Buyer’s default) this Agreement is terminated prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (or prior to the expiration of the Adverse Change Review Period if such occurs because of the unanticipated occurrence of Adverse Change Due Diligence (as defined below)), then the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Buyer.
If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement hereby proceeds to closing (the “Closing”), the Xxxxxxx Money shall be paid to Seller at Closing and Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price payable hereunder in the amount of the Xxxxxxx Money. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement by the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or any Adverse Change Review Period or as otherwise provided herein, the Xxxxxxx Money shall thereafter be deemed non-refundable, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
The balance of the Purchase Price in cash is to be deposited by Buyer into an interest bearing escrow account with the Closing Agent on or before the Closing Date.
5. Escrow. Escrow shall be opened by Buyer with the Closing Agent upon execution of this Agreement by both parties. A copy of this fully-executed Agreement will be delivered to the Closing Agent by Buyer and will serve as escrow instructions together with any additional instructions required by Seller and/or Buyer or their respective counsels. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate with the Closing Agent and sign any additional instructions reasonably required by the Closing Agent to close escrow. If there is any conflict between any other instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.
6. Title. Seller, at its sole expense, has delivered to Buyer a commitment for an ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (most recent edition) issued by the Closing Agent, insuring indefeasible fee simple title in the Property, deleting standard exceptions, subject only to such matters as Buyer may approve or waive pursuant to this Section 6 and contain confirmation of the availability of such other endorsements as Buyer may request at Buyer’s expense that are available for a property in Texas, including extended coverage and owner’s comprehensive coverage without exception for mechanic’s liens (the "Updated Title Commitment"). The Updated Title Commitment shows Seller as the present fee owner of the Property and shows Buyer as the fee owner to be insured and insuring Buyer in the amount of the Purchase Price.
The Updated Title Commitment shall also include:
a) an itemization of all outstanding and pending special assessments and an itemization of taxes affecting the Property and the tax year to which they relate;
b) a statement of whether taxes are current and if not, show the amounts unpaid; and
c)
the tax parcel identification numbers and whether the tax parcel includes property other than the Property to be purchased.
2
All easements, restrictions, documents and other items affecting title shall be listed in Schedule "B" of the Updated Title Commitment. Copies of all documents referred to in the Updated Title Commitment (the “Updated Title Commitment Documents”) must be provided to Buyer before this item will be considered ‘delivered’ as required under Section
8.01 for the tolling of the start of the Due Diligence Period.
Buyer shall be allowed, at any time on or prior to five (5) business days prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period to make objections thereto and making of requests for specific endorsements, said objections or requests (hereinafter “Objections”) to be made in writing or deemed waived.
If any Objections are so made, Seller shall within three (3) business days after receipt of Buyer’s Objections (“ Seller’s Cure Period ”) respond to Buyer in writing whether Seller shall cure, remove, or obtain insurable title over said Objections. Failure of Seller to notify Buyer in writing within such three (3) business day period shall be deemed an election by Seller on the last day of such period not to cure, remove, or obtain insurable title over said Objections. If Seller shall elect not to cure, remove, or obtain insurable title over Buyer’s Objections during Seller’s Cure Period, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given not later than the date of expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which event the Title Company shall refund the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit to Buyer, and thereafter Seller and Buyer shall not have any further liability hereunder except for obligations which by the express terms of this Agreement survive the termination of this Agreement. If Buyer does not so notify Seller of termination, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to waive such Title Objections and proceed to Closing without reduction to the Purchase Price.
If Buyer shall so terminate this Agreement, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned in full to Buyer and neither party shall have any further duties or obligations to the other hereunder (except for those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement). If Buyer does not deliver such notice of termination, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement as referenced above except for any Adverse Change Due Diligence. If this Agreement is not terminated by Buyer in accordance with the provisions hereof, Seller shall, at or prior to Closing and at Seller’s cost, cure, remove, satisfy, or insure over any Objections which Seller elected in writing to cure, remove, satisfy, or insure over as provided above.
Any matters appearing on the Updated Title Commitment at the end of the period allowed to Buyer to review the same, to which Buyer has not objected (as well as those for which Buyer’s objection has been cured by Seller) shall be deemed to be permitted (“Permitted Exceptions”).
In the event that the Updated Title Commitment is amended, reissued or otherwise modified (an “Amended Title Commitment”) to include new or revised requirements, exceptions or conditions that were not specifically set forth in the Updated Title Commitment (a “New Title Matter”), then Buyer shall have five (5) business days after Buyer’s receipt of an Amended Title Commitment to review and object to any New Title Matter(s) by written
3
notice to Seller. Within three (3) business days of any such Buyer notice, Seller shall respond to Buyer in writing indicating whether Seller agrees to cure, remove, satisfy, or insure over the same. Seller’s failure to respond within such two (2) business day period shall be deemed an election by Seller on the last day of such period not to cure, remove, satisfy, or insure over such New Title Matter(s). If Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to cure, remove, satisfy, or insure over one or more of the New Title Matter(s) or fails to do so on or prior to the Closing Date, then Buyer may either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the Title Company shall refund the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit to Buyer, and thereafter Seller and Buyer shall not have any further liability hereunder except for obligations that by the express terms of this Agreement survive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) waive such Title Objection(s) and proceed to Closing. If necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended by the number of days necessary for Buyer to have five (5) business days to review any New Title Matter appearing in an Amended Title Commitment and at least three (3) business days to elapse after sending any objection thereto to Seller. Buyer shall be deemed to have preserved its right to terminate this Agreement if any Title Objection to a New Title Matter is not cured, removed, satisfied, or insured over by Seller at its cost, prior to Closing and if not undertaken by Seller, Buyer may terminate this Agreement and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Buyer.
7. Site Inspection. As a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligations hereunder, the Property shall be inspected and approved by Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Subject to the prior rights of Tenant (including any provisions of the Lease relating to Landlord’s right to enter the Property), Seller hereby grants to Buyer and Buyer’s agents, employees, and contractors the right to enter upon the Property, on one (1) occasion, at a reasonable time which does not materially interfere with Tenant’s normal business operations during the Due Diligence Period, to conduct such inspection provided however in the event of Adverse Change Due Diligence, Buyer may investigate the Property an additional time; provided that Buyer and its agents will only be permitted such access when accompanied by Seller or a representative of Seller, who will be available during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to accompany Buyer and its agents, and provided, further, that Buyer will obtain Seller’s prior written approval before performing any soil sampling, boring tests, or other invasive testing.
In consideration therefor, Buyer shall and does hereby agree to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any and all liabilities, claims, mechanics’ liens, losses or damages, including, but not limited to, court costs and attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred by Seller as a direct result of Buyer’s inspection; provided, however, this indemnity shall not include, and shall specifically exclude, any liabilities, claims, losses, or damages to the extent arising out of or resulting from the mere discovery by Buyer or its agents, representatives, contractors, or employees of the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance in, on, or under the Property. If any inspection or test disturbs or damages the Property, Buyer shall promptly repair and restore the Property to substantially the same condition as existed prior to any such inspection or test. Prior to any entry on the Property by Buyer or its agents, Buyer shall provide proof of insurance of Buyer and its agents reasonably satisfactory to Seller. Buyer’s indemnity and hold harmless obligation and other obligations in the preceding paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement or Closing.

Seller hereby discloses to Buyer that Tenant pays real estate taxes and assessments upon receipt of the invoices therefor (rather than paying monthly additional rent to Seller on account of such taxes and assessments) and Seller represents to Buyer that (i) all charges for water, gas, electricity and sewer are paid directly by the Tenant and (ii) Seller pays the real estate taxes directly and then receives reimbursement from the Tenant;
(r)
Seller has received no written notice from a governmental authority that remains uncured that the Property is not in conformance with all applicable local, state and federal laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements. Since occupancy by Tenant, Seller has not received any written notice from Tenant concerning the Property for post-completion construction repairs or written
14
allegation of construction defect or deviations from the final plans and specifications that remains uncured;
(s) Seller has received no written notice of any special assessments affecting the
Property that are not payable by Tenant; and
(t)
Seller has not granted any party any right to purchase, right of first offer, right of first refusal or other similar right to purchase or acquire the Property, or any portion thereof, other than Buyer under this Agreement.
As used in this Section 12, the phrase “to Seller’s knowledge,” or phrases of similar import shall mean the actual, not constructive or imputed, knowledge of W. Xxxxx Xxxxxx, who is the most knowledgeable person associated with Seller with respect to matters regarding the Seller, Property, Lease and Lease Guaranty, with limited duty of inquiry and investigation which shall include normal and customary activities in Seller’s ordinary course of business with respect to the Property. W. Xxxxx Xxxxxx shall not be personally liable for any of the obligations of Seller under this Agreement.

15
PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF SELLER AND ANY AFFILIATE OF SELLER OF AND FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION, DEMANDS, RIGHTS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES AND COSTS WHATSOEVER, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WHICH BUYER NOW HAS OR WHICH MAY ARISE IN THE FUTURE AGAINST SELLER WITH RESPECT TO REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RELATED TO THE PROPERTY. THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING.

THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING.
If, prior to Closing, a representation or warranty of Seller in this Agreement is or becomes materially untrue and/or any occurrence after the end of the Due Diligence Period or document made known to Buyer (that was not discoverable by the exercise of commercially reasonable due diligence by Buyer) that materially changes or renders incomplete, invalid, or inaccurate any of the Due Diligence Documents (“Adverse Change Due Diligence”), then Seller shall promptly give written notice of such Adverse Change Due Diligence to Buyer. If, prior to Closing, upon Seller’s notice or otherwise (including through any written information set forth in the Due Diligence Documents delivered by Seller to Buyer, which shall constitute actual knowledge by Buyer), Buyer acquires knowledge of the untruth or inaccuracy of, or facts or circumstances that would change materially, any representation or warranty of Seller in this Agreement or any Adverse Change Due Diligence, then Buyer shall have five (5) business days to review the Adverse Change Due Diligence (“Adverse Change Review Period”) and the option of (i) waiving such breach of representation or warranty and complete its purchase of the Property pursuant to this Agreement; or (ii) terminating this Agreement and receiving a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money. If Buyer does not send written notice to Seller within five (5) business days following receipt of such notice from Seller or otherwise determining that the representation or warranty is untrue, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under subsection (i) above. If necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended to allow Buyer to have five (5) business days to examine and to accept all Adverse Change Due Diligence. To the extent that Buyer has knowledge of any untrue or inaccurate representation or warranty, but elects to close on its acquisition of the Property, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived and released all claims related thereto. Buyer’s claims with respect to a breach of Seller’s representations and warranties shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months and if suit is not filed within such six (6) month period, all claims shall be deemed waived. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Buyer be entitled to pursue a claim against Seller after Closing for a breach of representation or
16
warranty unless such claim is for damages in excess of $10,000.00 and in no event shall Seller be liable to Buyer for amounts in excess of $500,000.

Provided Seller is ready, willing, and able to Close and also that Seller is not in default of this Agreement, then, if any of Buyer’s representations and warranties in this Agreement prove to be untrue at Closing in any material respect, or if Buyer defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and Buyer fails to cure such default or breach within ten (10) days after Seller has provided written notice of such default to Buyer (other than failure to close on the Closing Date, for which there will be a one (1) business day cure period after Seller has provided written notice of such default to Buyer), the parties agree that Seller may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, terminate this Agreement and receive payment of the Xxxxxxx Money, whereupon this Agreement will terminate and Buyer and Seller will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for those that are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof. The parties agree that in the event that Seller elects pursuant to this Section 15 to terminate this Agreement and be paid the Xxxxxxx Money as its sole and exclusive remedy, (i)
19
the amount of the Xxxxxxx Money is a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of this Agreement, including the relationship of its amount to the range of harm to Seller that reasonably could be anticipated, and the anticipation that proving actual damage would be costly, impracticable and extremely difficult, and (ii) retention of the Xxxxxxx Money by Seller as liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty, but instead is intended to constitute liquidated damages to Seller.

Prior to Closing, provided that Buyer is ready, willing, and able to Close and also that Buyer is not in default of this Agreement, then, if Seller defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and Seller fails to cure such default or breach within ten (10) days after Buyer has provided written notice of such default to Seller (other than failure to close on the Closing Date, for which there will be a one (1) business day cure period after Buyer has provided written notice of such default to Seller), Buyer shall be entitled to: (i) terminate this Agreement upon written notice delivered to Seller, in which event Escrow Agent shall immediately refund the Xxxxxxx Money to Buyer, and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all of Buyer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses not to exceed $30,000, including, but not limited to, Buyer’s reasonable attorneys’ fees; or (ii) pursue the specific performance of this Agreement by Seller, which action must be commenced, if at all, on or before the date that is four (4) months after the outside date for Closing. Buyer acknowledges that these remedies are the exclusive remedies of Buyer at law and equity. The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
16. Damages, Destruction and Eminent Domain. Seller agrees to give Buyer prompt notice of any damage or destruction of the Property or any portion thereof prior to Closing. In the event that prior to Closing any part of the Property is destroyed or damaged by fire, the elements, or any other cause, due to events occurring subsequent to the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to Seller within ten (10) business days after receiving written notice of such damage, to either: (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer; or (b) accept the Property in its then condition and to proceed with the Closing; provided, however, that in the event that Buyer elects to proceed under clause (b), then Seller shall credit and/or assign to Buyer at Closing the insurance proceeds for such damage, and Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under Seller’s casualty insurance (but not more than the amount of the damage), and Seller shall not do, cause or permit any compromise, settlement or adjustment of any claims to such proceeds without Buyer’s prior written consent or Seller shall assign to Buyer Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all insurance proceeds, including payment of applicable deductibles, resulting from said damage or destruction to the extent that the same are payable with respect to damage to the Property, subject to rights of the Tenant. If Buyer does not deliver notice to Seller within such 10-business day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have terminated this Agreement (in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Buyer).
Seller agrees to give Buyer prompt notice of any taking, condemnation or eminent domain proceeding of any of the Property. In the event that prior to the Closing, all or any portion of the Property is subject to a taking or a condemnation by a public authority or other entity with the power of condemnation, Buyer shall have the right, exercisable by giving notice
20
to Seller within ten (10) business days after receiving written notice of such taking or condemnation, to either: (a) terminate this Agreement upon written notice, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer; or (b) accept the Property in its then condition and to proceed with the Closing; provided, however, that in the event that Buyer elects to proceed under clause (b), then Seller shall make the net proceeds of any condemnation award related to such taking available to Buyer to repair and restore the Property to its condition immediately prior to such taking, and Seller shall not do, cause or permit any compromise, settlement or adjustment of any claims to such award without Buyer’s prior written consent or Seller shall assign to Buyer all Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any award made, or to be made, in the condemnation proceeding, subject to the rights of the Tenant. The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive Closing and the transfer of title.
17. Notices.
