AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL
2.01 Agreement to Purchase and Sell. Purchaser is hereby obligated to purchase, and Seller is hereby obligated to sell and convey, the Property, for the Purchase Price on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2.02 Subdivision Approval: In the event subdivision approval is required in order to convey the Property which is the subject of this Contract, the Purchaser agrees to diligently pursue at its own cost and expense the obtaining of such subdivision approval from the appropriate governmental authority. If such subdivision approval must be or reasonably can be obtained in connection with the zoning relief referred to in Section 10 below, the Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate in pursuing both subdivision and zoning approvals together with the costs for the same being borne by Purchaser. In the event such subdivision approval has not been obtained prior to the Closing date, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by so notifying the Seller in which event the contractual relationship between the Parties shall be at an end and any payments made by the Purchaser to the Seller shall be refunded.
2
2.03 Right of Assignment: Seller may assign its rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement to Seller's principal or subsidiaries, affiliates or subsidiaries of its principal. Said assignment shall be effective upon Seller’s sending written notice to Purchaser. Any other assignment shall require the written consent of Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Purchaser shall have the right to assign its interest in this Agreement to an affiliate of Purchaser upon written notification to the Seller.
2.04 Zoning & Environmental Contingency: This Agreement is expressly made contingent upon the Purchaser obtaining zoning relief which will permit the Purchaser's use of the Property as a storage facility. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to assist in obtaining land use or zoning relief for the Property that Purchaser may seek. Seller agrees to execute documents reasonably necessary to petition the appropriate public body for zoning relief required for Purchaser's intended purposes. All such activities are to be at the expense of Purchaser. This Agreement is further made contingent upon the Purchaser receiving a satisfactory environmental study which discloses that the Property is completely free from all types of environmental contamination, and further, in compliance with all local, State and Federal environmental laws. In the event the Purchaser does not obtain prior to the Closing Date all necessary zoning and governmental approvals to permit the Purchaser's use of the Property as Purchaser intends, including but not limited to a storm water permit, and a satisfactory environmental study as set forth above, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by so notifying the Seller in which event the contractual relationship between the Parties shall be at an end and any payments made by the Purchaser to the Seller shall be refunded.
Seller will be responsible for all obligations of compliance with any and all environmental laws, including any regulations, guidelines, standards, or policies of any governmental authorities regulating or imposing standards of liability or standards of conduct with regard to any environmental conditions or concerns as may now or at any time hereafter be in effect, that are or were in any way related to activity now or formerly conducted in, on, or in any way related to the Property, unless such conditions or concerns are caused by the activities of the Purchaser.
Seller shall hold Purchaser harmless and indemnify Purchaser from and assume all duties, responsibility and liability at its sole cost and expense, for all duties, responsibilities, and liability (for payment of penalties, sanctions, forfeitures, losses, costs, or damages) and for responding to any action, notice, claim, order, summons, citation, directive, litigation, investigation or proceeding which is in any way related to: a) failure to comply with any environmental law, including without limitation any regulations, guidelines, standards, or policies of any governmental authorities regulating or imposing standards of liability or standards of conduct with regard to any environmental concerns or conditions as may now or at any time hereafter be in effect that are or were in any way related to activity now or formerly conducted in, on, or in any way related to the Property, unless such conditions or concerns are caused by the activities of the Purchaser; and b) any environmental conditions arising out of or in any way related to the condition of the Property or activities conducted thereon, unless such environmental conditions are caused by Purchaser.
2.05 Condemnation, Damage or Destruction: If all or any part of the Property is condemned, damaged or destroyed prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the option of terminating this Agreement. In the event of such termination, Seller shall repay all sums theretofore paid by Purchaser; providing, however, that if Seller shall have in force and collectible sufficient fire and extended coverage insurance to cover any such damage or destruction of the Property, and the proceeds of such insurance shall be paid to Purchaser, then Purchaser may elect to continue this Agreement in full force and effect.
2.06 Ingress and Egress Easement: The Parties agree and acknowledge Seller is reserving an ingress and egress easement (the “Easement”) across the Property. The Easement is further described in the Warranty Deed. As stipulated in the Warranty Deed, Purchaser shall pay for all costs incurred in connection with the creation of this Easement; however, subsequent to Purchaser’s initial improvements as provided for herein, the responsibility for all necessary maintenance and improvements in the Easement shall be allocated as set forth in the Warranty Deed.
The Parties agree and acknowledge that Seller may be required to make certain improvements to and/or remove obstructions or trees from the property Seller is retaining in order to make use of the Easement. Seller shall be solely responsible for all costs incurred for any such improvements and/or removals. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Parties agree and acknowledge Purchaser included a request for removal of three (3) trees on Seller’s property in applicable permit applications for the Easement.

3.01 Inspection. Purchaser shall have until the Closing Date (the “Inspection Period”) to conduct, at its expense, any and all inspections of the Property that Purchaser may desire, including without limitation, title examination, surveys, environmental audits, and other tests or studies that Purchaser deems necessary or advisable. Seller shall provide Purchaser and its agents with reasonable access to the Property to conduct any and all inspections and items of due diligence review contemplated herein. If, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, Purchaser determines that the Property is not acceptable due to an adverse condition, Purchaser may cancel this Agreement by notifying Seller or Seller’s agent in writing on or before the end of the Inspection Period (“Termination Notice”). Upon receipt of the Termination Notice, Seller has the option to either: (a) accept the termination, in which event neither Party will have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement (except for the ones that expressly survive termination of this Agreement); or (b) to elect to make the repairs or correct the adverse condition identified by Purchaser by providing a written notice of this election to Purchaser no later than two (2) days after receipt of the Termination Notice, in which event this Agreement does not terminate and Seller is obligated to make the repairs or correct the adverse condition before the Closing and, if necessary, the Closing will be extended for a period not to exceed ten (10) days to allow Seller additional time to make the repairs or complete the remediation. If Seller fails to elect to make the repairs or correct the adverse condition within the ten (10) day period, Seller is deemed to have elected to accept the offer of termination.
