1.00 PURCHASE AND SALE
1.01 Upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Seller

4.00 CLOSING
4.01 The closing of the sale contemplated herein (hereinafter
referred to as the "CLOSING") shall be held at the offices of the Seller in
Peachtree City, Georgia or at such other place mutually acceptable to the
parties hereto, on or before 180 days after the Effective Date (as defined in

regular business hours. The exact time of Closing shall be designated by
Purchaser by giving notice thereof to Seller not less than ten (10) days prior
to Closing. The acceptance of a deed to the Property by the Purchaser shall be
deemed to be full performance and discharge of every agreement and obligation
on the part of the Seller to be performed pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement except those which are herein specifically stated to survive the
Closing.
5.00 TITLE
5.01 At the Closing Seller shall convey to Purchaser fee simple
title (same being defined as insurable at standard rates by a national title
insurance company on its own standard ALTA owner's form free and clear of liens
and encumbrances except standard exceptions as to questions of survey, claims
of liens resulting from actions of Purchaser or Permitted Title Exceptions, as
that term is hereinafter defined) to the Property by Limited Warranty Deed,
which shall be in the form of and contain the same warranty as the Limited
Warranty Deed attached hereto as EXHIBIT "B" and by this reference made a part
hereof, which Limited Warranty Deed shall be executed by Seller pursuant to due
authorization, witnessed and acknowledged as required by applicable law and
delivered to Purchaser by Seller at Closing. In addition to the Limited
Warranty Deed, Seller shall also deliver to Purchaser at Closing an entity
non-foreign certification and a property owner's affidavit reasonably
acceptable to Purchaser's title insurer.
5.02 Title to the Property shall be conveyed by Seller to
Purchaser free of all liens, leases and encumbrances with the following
exceptions (which exceptions are hereinafter referred to as the "PERMITTED
EXCEPTIONS"):
(i) Current city, state and county ad valorem property
and sanitary taxes not yet due and payable;
(ii) All zoning ordinances and governmental restrictions
affecting the Property;
2
(iii) Deed Restrictions attached as EXHIBIT "A" to the

Effective Date to examine title to the Property and to furnish Seller with a
written statement of objections, if any, other than the Permitted Exceptions,
to the title to the Property accompanied by a copy of Purchaser's title report
disclosing such objections to title. Should Purchaser fail to notify Seller of
any such objections to title to the Property within the aforesaid ninety (90)
day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all objections to the
title to the Property as of said date, and any exceptions disclosed by an
examination of title to the Property as of the date of Purchaser's title report
or which would have been disclosed as of the expiration of said ninety (90) day
period had such an examination of title been made, whichever is later, shall be
deemed to be included in the Permitted Exceptions. Seller shall have until the
Closing Date in which to cure such valid objections of which it was notified by
Purchaser. Should Seller fail to satisfy or cure all such valid objections,
then Purchaser shall have the right at Purchaser's election either to terminate
this Agreement and thereupon be entitled to a refund of Purchaser's Xxxxxxx
Money, or waive those title objections which Seller failed to satisfy or cure
and proceed to close the sale of the Property contemplated herein and accept
the Property subject to such objections with no reduction in the Purchase
Price.
5.04 Should Seller be unable to convey fee simple title to the
Property subject only to Permitted Exceptions, the sole obligation of Seller
shall be to refund Purchaser's Xxxxxxx Money and, upon the making of such
refund, this Agreement shall wholly cease and terminate and no party shall have
any further claim against any other by reason of this Agreement, and the lien
or right, if any, of the Purchaser against or to the Property shall wholly
cease.
5.05 The Seller shall not be required, and is not obligated
hereby, to bring any action or proceedings or otherwise to incur any expense to
cure any objections to title or otherwise to render title to the Property free
of any liens, leases or encumbrances whatsoever.

property taxes for the calendar year of Closing, and all water and sewer
charges and assessments of any kind on the Property for the then current
assessment period, shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller as of the

survey, and make such inspections and engineering tests as the Purchaser may
deem necessary on the Property. Purchaser shall provide Seller reasonable
notice as to the date and time Purchaser anticipates its agents or
representatives to perform such tests so Seller may have a representative
present. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against
any and all liens which may arise as a result of Purchaser's activities on the
Property or the activities of Purchaser's agents, representatives, or
designees, and against any and all claims for death or injury to persons or
property arising out of or as a result of Purchaser's going upon the Property

purchase and sale contemplated hereby shall not close for any reason other than
a default by Seller hereunder, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of
any and all studies or reports received by Purchaser pursuant to the exercise
by Purchaser of the rights and privileges herein granted and Purchaser, to the

Seller agrees that in the event Purchaser determines (such
determination to be made in Purchaser's sole discretion) that the Property is
not suitable for its purposes, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to the expiration of
the Inspection Period. If Purchaser gives such notice of termination within the
Inspection Period, this Agreement shall terminate and the Xxxxxxx Money shall

the information Seller deems necessary in Seller's reasonable judgment to
review such plans. Purchaser has the right to extend the submittal period for
an additional sixty (60) days if necessary. All final landscape plans may be
submitted after site development has started. All plan submittals shall follow
the process outlined in Exhibit "C" attached. If Purchaser elects not to submit
any or all of the required plans and elevations within the 120 day period,
Seller has the right but not the obligation to provide Purchaser with written
notice that this Agreement is null and void and retain Purchaser's Xxxxxxx
Money as liquidated damages and neither party shall have any further obligation

11.00 CONDEMNATION
11.01 Seller represents to the best of its actual knowledge and
belief the Property is not subject to a condemnation proceeding nor to a bona
fide threat of condemnation by a body having the power of eminent domain or
condemnation. If prior to the closing of the sale contemplated herein all or
part of the Property is subject to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body
having the power of eminent domain or condemnation, or sale in lieu thereof,
Purchaser may by written notice to Seller, given within ten (10) days of
Purchaser's receiving actual notice of such condemnation, damage or
destruction, elect to rescind and cancel this Agreement, and upon rescission,
the Xxxxxxx Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, whereupon no party
hereto shall have any right or obligation hereunder whatsoever (the date of
Closing shall be extended if necessary to allow Purchaser the aforesaid ten
(10) day period). If Purchaser does not elect so to rescind, this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect, and the purchase contemplated herein,
less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, shall be effected
with no further adjustments, and at Closing, Seller shall assign, transfer and
set over to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any
awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking.

12.00 BROKERAGE
12.01 Purchaser and Seller each represent and warrant that there
are no claims for brokerage commissions or fees or like charges payable in
connection with this transaction by virtue of contacts or activities of either
Purchaser or Seller. Purchaser and Seller hereby indemnify each other against,
and agree to hold each other harmless from, any and all claims for agency or
brokerage commissions or fees or like charges arising out of or in any way
connected with any claimed agency relationship with the indemnitor and relating
to the purchase and sale of the Property, and this provision shall survive the
Closing contemplated hereby and the delivery of the deed of conveyance and,
anything elsewhere contained herein to the contrary not withstanding, any early
termination of this Agreement.
12.02 Peachtree Brokerage Group ("PBG"), as a Georgia licensed real
estate brokerage company, is representing the Seller in this transaction. PBG
may render for Purchaser ministerial acts (being those acts which do not
require discretion or the exercise of PBG's own judgment) such as assisting
Purchaser in determining the availability of utilities and other such matters
as are informative only. For its services in representing Seller, PBG will be
compensated by the Seller and as to that compensation, as between Seller and
Purchaser, Purchaser has no responsibility therefor, such responsibility being
solely that of Seller which Seller agrees to pay.
12.03 Seller is a licensed Georgia real estate brokerage company.
13.00 DEFAULT
13.01 In the event of default by Purchaser under the terms hereof,
Seller shall retain the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages, in which event
this Agreement shall terminate and all parties shall thereupon be released of
all further liability hereunder. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that it is
impossible to determine the actual damages Seller would suffer from Purchaser's
default hereunder and that the agreed upon liquidated damages are not punitive
or a penalty but are just, fair and reasonable, all in accordance with O.C.G.A.
Section 13-6-7. Upon such termination, this Agreement, except for the
indemnities provided for in Paragraphs 8.00 and 12.00 hereof, shall wholly
cease and terminate and in such event no party shall have any further claim
against the other by reason of this Agreement, and the lien or right, if any,
of the Purchaser against the Property shall wholly cease.
13.02 Should Closing not occur on or before the 180th day after the
Effective Date solely because of the default of Seller hereunder, the Xxxxxxx
Money (except for the sum of $100.00 provided for in the WITNESSETH
7
paragraph of this Agreement which shall be retained by Seller as consideration
for entering into this Agreement) shall be refunded to Purchaser, as its sole
remedy.
14.00 RESALE
14.01 Purchaser hereby represents and warrants and agrees:
(i) that Purchaser has no present plans to sell the
Property and the Property is not being purchased for resale
on a speculative basis;
(ii) that the Property is being acquired by Purchaser for
the sole purpose of constructing thereon a building having
not less than 3,500 square feet for use as a banking facility
for his/her/its own use.

and commence construction of, such building on or before
twenty-four (24) months after the date of Closing; and,

building within the period hereinabove provided, Seller shall
have the right to repurchase the Property from Purchaser for
an amount equal to the Purchase Price. In the event Seller
exercises the repurchase right provided herein, Purchaser
shall convey the Property to Seller by limited warranty deed
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except those
provided in the deed pursuant to which title to the Property
is conveyed to Purchaser by Seller. The provision of this
paragraph shall survive the closing of the purchase and sale
contemplated by this Agreement and the delivery of the deed
of conveyance by Seller to Purchaser.

(the "SURVEY") of the Property prepared by a surveyor registered in the State

conditions and agreements of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT "A" TO LIMITED WARRANTY DEED
COMMERCIAL DEED RESTRICTIONS
A. CONSTRUCTION
1. No alterations shall be made to the property until site plans
and grading plans have been approved in writing by Grantor, which shall have
the right to establish and amend procedures and standards to guide its review
of such plans. In particular, no clearing or grading shall take place on the
property until Grantor has given written approval of the proposed ingress and
egress, onsite circulation and parking, building location, and all areas where
it is proposed to remove existing trees. No trees on the site with a diameter
of at least six inches shall be removed without the specific written approval
of Grantor.
2. No structure shall be erected or placed on the property until
the building plans, drainage and grading plans, specifications and site plans
for such structure have been approved in writing by Grantor. As a minimum,
final plans and specifications shall show the nature, kind, shape, dimensions,
materials, basic exterior finishes, and colors, location, floor plans, and
elevations of the proposed structure. Exterior alterations or additions shall
be subject to the original restrictions and shall conform essentially to the
original architectural design. All structures which are erected or placed on
such land and all alterations which are made to such structures shall conform
to the approved plans, specifications and site plan.
3. No fence, wall or overhead utility of any kind shall be
erected or permitted to remain upon any portion of the property without written
approval from Grantor.
4. The exterior of all structures must be completed within two
years of the date Grantor approves the plans, except where such completion is
impossible or would result in great hardship to the owner or builder due to

installed or altered on the property until plans and specifications and
locations have been approved in writing by Grantor.

at the option of the then owner, shall be combined as one parcel for the
purposes of this restriction. In such event, the then owner of such combined
parcel shall not erect structures or construct paved areas on more than eighty
percent (80%) of the area of such combined parcel. The construction by the then
owner of the property conveyed hereby and the adjacent property of structures
and paved areas covering more than eighty percent (80%) hereby shall be
sufficient, without any other action on the part of such owner, to establish
that the property conveyed hereby and such abutting property have been combined
as one parcel for the purposes of this restriction. Once a property has been
established as a combined parcel for the purposes of this restriction, any
further acquisition of property adjacent to the combined parcel by the then
owner of such combined parcel may likewise be combined for the purposes hereof
in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.

landscaping maintenance at the expense of Grantee. Any such expense incurred by

to make any and all corrections or improvements to such buildings or structures
at the expense of Grantee. Any such expense incurred by Grantor in this regard
shall be payable by Grantee upon demand.

other company offering similar services, whose prior written approval Grantee
shall obtain for the conducting on the property of any process which involves
the generation of sewage effluent other than normal domestic waste.
E. GENERAL CONDITIONS
21. Nothing contained in these restrictions shall be construed to
prevent the erection or maintenance by Grantor, or its duly authorized agents,
of structures, improvements, or signs necessary or convenient to the
development, sale, operation, or other disposition of Grantor's property within
Peachtree City, Georgia.
2
22. The approval of plans or specifications submitted for
approval as herein specified for use on the land shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of Grantor's right to object to any of the features or elements embodied
in such plans or specifications, if or when the same features or elements are
embodied in any subsequent plans and specifications submitted for approval.
23. Grantor shall have the power and authority, but not the
obligation, to approve or disapprove the plans and specifications, and the
approval of said plans and specifications may be withheld not only because of
the reasonable dissatisfaction of Grantor with the grading plan, location of
the structure on the site, the finished ground elevation, the color scheme,
finish, design, proportions, architecture, shape, height, style, and
appropriateness of the proposed structure or altered structures, the materials
used therein, size, height, or location of trees on the site, or because of its
reasonable dissatisfaction with any or all other matters or things which, in
the reasonable judgment of Grantor, will render the proposed improvement
inharmonious or out of keeping with the general plan of improvement of said
property or with the improvements erected on other land.
24. The failure of Grantor or its successors or assigns to
enforce any covenant, condition or restriction shall in no event be deemed to
be a waiver of the right to do so thereafter nor of the right to enforce any
other covenant, condition or restriction.
25. Grantor may, from time to time, at any reasonable hour or
hours, enter upon and inspect the property for the purpose of ascertaining
compliance herewith.
26. Every person who now or hereafter owns or acquires any right,
title, estate, or interest in the land or portion of the land is and shall be

EXHIBIT "C"
TO AGREEMENT FOR THE SALE AND PURCHASE OF REAL ESTATE
DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES AND APPROVAL
1. No alterations shall be made to the Property until site plans
and grading plans have been approved in writing by Seller, which shall have the
right to establish and amend procedures and standards to guide its review of
such plans. In particular, no clearing or grading shall take place on the
Property until Seller has given written approval of the proposed ingress and
egress, onsite circulation and parking, building location, and all areas where
it is proposed to remove existing trees. No trees on the Property with a
diameter of at least six inches shall be removed without the specific written
approval of Seller.
2. No structure shall be erected or placed on the Property until
the building plans, drainage and grading plans, specifications and site plans
for such structure have been approved in writing by Seller. As a minimum, final
plans and specifications shall show the nature, kind, shape, dimensions,
materials, basic exterior finishes and colors, location, floor plans and
elevations of the proposed structure. Exterior alterations or additions shall
be subject to the original restrictions and shall conform essentially to the
original architectural design. All structures which are erected or placed on
the Property and all alterations which are made to such structures shall
conform substantially to the approved plans, specifications and site plan. In
the event that such improvements are reconstructed due to damage or
destruction, the approval required by Section 5 shall be necessary only if the
plans and specifications for the reconstructed building provide for material
variations in exterior materials or architectural design from the buildings
existing on the Property immediately prior to such damage or destruction.
3. No fence, wall or overhead utility of any kind shall be
erected or permitted to remain upon any portion of the Property without written
approval from Seller.
4. No outdoor lighting fixtures or signs shall be built,
installed or altered on the Property until plans and specifications and
locations have been approved in writing by Seller.
5. The approval process for such plans and specifications shall
be as follows:
a. Prior to construction or reconstruction of any
improvements on the Property, the Purchaser shall submit to Seller two (2) sets
of preliminary plans for the buildings and other improvements to be installed
or constructed on the Property or any portion thereof, which plans shall
include:
(i) the location of all buildings thereon;
(ii) dimensions, elevations and heights;
(iii) architectural design, treatment, colors and
finishes of the exterior of the buildings.
b. Within ten (10) business days after such preliminary
plans have been submitted (or resubmitted, as hereinafter provided) to Seller,
Seller shall give the Purchaser written notice of its approval or disapproval
thereof. If Seller does not approve the plans, the notice shall specify the
items on the plans that are not approved and the changes necessary to correct
those items. The Purchaser may then modify the plans to address the disapproved
items and resubmit them to Seller for approval. If Seller shall fail to approve
or disapprove the plans within ten (10) business days after receipt (or
re-submission, as applicable), Seller shall be deemed to have approved such
plans. The Purchaser may modify and resubmit the preliminary plans as many
times as is necessary to obtain approval.
c. After the approval of the preliminary plans by
Seller, the Purchaser of the Property shall prepare the final plans. The final
plans shall be consistent with the approved preliminary plans and when
completed shall be submitted to Seller for approval. Within ten (10) business
days after such final plans have been submitted (or re-submitted, as
hereinafter provided) to Seller, Seller shall give the Purchaser written notice
of its approval or disapproval thereof. Seller shall have the right to object
only to matters shown on the final plans that are
inconsistent with the approved preliminary plans. If Seller does not approve
the final plans, the notice shall specify the items on those plans that are not
approved and the changes necessary to correct those items. The Purchaser may
then modify the plans to address the disapproved items and resubmit them to
Seller for approval. If Seller shall fail to approve or disapprove the plans
within ten (10) business days after receipt (or re-submission, as applicable),
Seller shall be deemed to have approved such plans. The Purchaser may modify
and resubmit the final plans as many times as is necessary to obtain approval.
6. All landscaping on the Property shall be installed in
accordance with a landscaping plan approved by Seller. The approval process for
the landscaping plan shall be conducted in the manner set forth in Subsection 5
above.
