request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to
be the agent of either of the parties in Escrow Agent’s capacity as escrow agent
hereunder, and Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any
action or omission on Escrow Agent’s part taken or made in good faith, but
Escrow Agent shall be liable for its acts of bad faith, in breach of this

part of the Escrow Agent.
4. TITLE. Seller
agrees to convey good and marketable fee simple title to the Property to

up to fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of Purchaser’s written notice of
New Title Objections in which to correct any such New Title Objections, and
Seller agrees that it shall take all reasonable measures, including the payment
of money, to satisfy all New Title Objections. If Seller fails or refuses to
satisfy any such objections, then, at the option of Purchaser, (i) the Closing
Date shall be extended by agreement between the parties for a reasonable time
for Seller to satisfy such objections, (ii) Purchaser may waive its objections
and proceed to Closing and the matters not cured shall become permitted
encumbrances on the warranty deed, or (iii) Purchaser may terminate
this Agreement and Escrow Agent shall immediately return all Xxxxxxx Money to
Purchaser. The Closing Date will be deferred as necessary to comply
with this Paragraph 4 should Purchaser elect option (i) and the Financing
Contingency shall apply to any such closing date deferral. Seller
shall deliver to Purchaser within ten (10) calendar days following the Execution
Date a copy of all title policies and surveys for the Property in Seller’s
possession or control, together with copies of all documents which appear as
exceptions to title in said title insurance policies. Seller and Purchaser agree
that such papers as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the terms of
this Agreement shall be produced, executed, and delivered by such parties at the
times required to fulfill the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

5. INSPECTION. Commencing
as of the Execution Date, Purchaser, its agents, or representatives, at
Purchaser’s expense and at all times before Closing, shall have the right during
regular business hours (or such other times as approved by Seller from time to
time) to enter upon the Property for the purpose of inspecting, examining, doing
borings, environmental studies testing, and surveying the
Property. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, within five (5) calendar
days following the Execution Date, all information it has in its possession or
control with respect to the Property, including without limitation, engineering
reports, soil tests and environmental tests, reports, studies and
audits. Purchaser shall have a thirty (30) day period (the "Due
Diligence Period") after the Execution Date during which to decide whether in
its sole and absolute discretion the Property is satisfactory for Purchaser's
acquisition. Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement by sending Seller on or before the end of the Inspection Period, a
written termination notice and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be completely refundable
to Purchaser during the entire length of the Inspection
Period. Purchaser shall and does hereby agree to indemnify, defend
and hold harmless Seller and Brokers or others from any loss or damages as a
result of the exercise by Purchaser of the rights herein granted, including any
damage resulting from the negligence of Purchaser or Purchaser’s agents,
employees or contractors. This indemnity shall survive the
rescission, cancellation, termination or consummation of this
Agreement.
6. CLOSING. The closing date
("Closing Date") shall occur upon the earlier of within fifteen business days
following the funding of the Solid Waste Facilities Revenue Bonds closing or by
February 28, 2009. The consummation of the sale contemplated hereby
(the "Closing") shall be at the office of Escrow Agent or any other
mutually agreed upon location at a specified time on a date designated by
Purchaser to Seller at least five (5) calendar days prior to the Closing Date,
unless extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Seller shall deliver,
and Purchaser shall take, possession of the Property on the Closing
Date. Purchaser shall pay all recording costs of this transaction
including document recording costs, all intangible taxes and Purchaser’s
attorneys’ fees. Seller shall pay the State of Georgia Real Estate
Transfer Tax on the Warranty Deed from Seller to Purchaser. Real estate taxes
based upon the most recent assessment for the Property shall be prorated as of
the Closing Date for the calendar year in which the sale is closed. If the
proration is incorrect by more than five percent (5%) based on the actual tax
xxxx when issued, the party receiving the excess proration shall promptly
reimburse the other to correct the misallocation upon receipt of written notice.
All unpaid assessments and annual special charges applicable to the Property
outstanding at Closing, including those arising between the Execution Date and
the Closing Date, shall be paid at Closing by Seller, irrespective of when the
same shall be due and payable. If the Property is assessed as a part of a larger
tract, a sum sufficient to pay the entire tax xxxx for the larger tract when due
shall be deposited at Closing with an escrow agent selected by Purchaser. The
estimated portion of the entire tax xxxx allocable to the Property shall be
prorated by dividing the total tax xxxx by the number of acres in the larger
tract and multiplying the result thereof by the number of acres contained in the
Property. Seller and Purchaser shall each deposit their share of the
total tax xxxx for the Property with the Escrow Agent.
7. SURVEY. Purchaser
may, at Purchaser's expense, cause an accurate survey to be made of the Property
by a Georgia Registered Land Surveyor of Purchaser's choice prepared in
accordance with no less than the minimum standards of the State of Georgia for
surveys and land surveyors. The survey shall certify the number of
acres contained within the Property, computed to the nearest 100th of an acre,
including such portions of the Property as may be within all right-of-way for
public use, any portion of the Property lying within the 100-year flood plain,
easements of any type or description, cemeteries, or otherwise legally
undevelopable area, and the location of all buildings, structures, fences and
other improvements situated on the Property. The survey shall also
include acreage contained within any proposed road or right-of-way widenings, or
any other taking, of which any entity having the power of eminent domain has
given notice or any land required to be dedicated as a condition of a rezoning
or obtaining building permits or curb cuts for the Property. The survey shall be
sufficient in form and content so that the Title Company will delete the
standard survey exception from its title insurance policy to be issued to
Purchaser. Prior to Closing Purchaser may deliver three copies of the survey to
Seller. In the event the survey discloses any matters other than Permitted Title
Exceptions to which the Purchaser objects, such matters shall be deemed to be
New Title Objections and the provisions of Paragraph 4 above shall
apply. If the survey is reasonably unacceptable to Seller, then
Seller may, within five (5) calendar days after receipt of Purchaser's survey,
notify Purchaser that the survey is unacceptable setting out all of Seller's
reasons for such objections, and Seller shall appoint (at Seller's expense) a
second surveyor who shall attempt to resolve with Purchaser's surveyor the
discrepancies with or objections to the survey of which Seller has notified
Purchaser. In the event the two surveyors are unable to resolve such
matters, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the
Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately refunded to Purchaser. In the
event the survey shows a legal description that is different from Exhibit “A”,
Seller will execute a quit-claim deed with respect to the legal description
drawn from the survey. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall
provide Purchaser with the most recent survey within five (5) days of the
execution of this Agreement.

8. TIME. Time is of
the essence with respect to this Agreement.
9. BROKER. In
negotiating this Agreement, CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx ("CBRE") and _Empire South
Commercial Real Estate_(“Empire South”) (collectively, “Brokers”)
have rendered a valuable service for which reason Brokers are made a party
hereto in order to enable Brokers to enforce its commission rights
hereunder. Empire South will be compensated outside of closing
detailed in a separate agreement. Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx with CBRE acted as
agent for the Purchaser in this transaction, and _Jon Sarnat with Empire South_
has acted as agent for the Seller. Notwithstanding Brokers’ agency
relationships, it is agreed by all parties hereto that Seller shall pay CBRE a
commission (the “Commission”) in cash at Closing in the amount
of Twenty Six Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($26,750.00). If closing occurs on or before January 31st 2009
CBRE will be paid an additional Five Thousand Dollars ($5000) totaling Thirty
One Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($31,750.00) from the proceeds
of the Purchase Price. Brokers acknowledge that they will not be
entitled to a commission in the event that the Closing does not occur for any
reason whatsoever, including default by Purchaser or Seller, and that Purchaser
has no obligation to Brokers for payment of any commission arising out of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or the sale and conveyance contemplated
hereby. Purchaser, Seller and Brokers each hereby represent and
warrant to each other that no party other than any named herein is entitled as a
result of the actions of Seller, Purchaser or Brokers, as the case may be, to a
real estate commission or other fee resulting from the execution of this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and Seller, Purchaser and
Brokers hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold each other harmless from and
against any and all costs, damages and expenses, including reasonably incurred
attorneys’ fees, resulting directly or indirectly from any such claim arising
out of the actions of or contact with Seller, Purchaser or Brokers, as the case
may be. These representations, warranties and indemnifications shall survive the
rescission, cancellation, termination or consummation of this
Agreement. Brokers agree to execute and deliver such affidavits and
documents as may be required in order to conform to the requirements of O.C.G.A.
§ 00-00-000. Purchaser or its principals are or may be licensed real
estate brokers or salesmen in the state of Georgia.
10. CONDITION OF
PROPERTY. Seller warrants that at Closing the Property and
title to the Property will be in the same condition as it is on the Acceptance
Date, normal wear and tear excepted, and Seller covenants and agrees that from
and after the Execution Date until the Closing or until this Agreement has been
terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, Seller shall not, without the prior
written consent of Purchaser, change the title to the Property, remove any trees
from the Property, change or alter the physical condition of the Property, or
commit waste to the Property. However, should the Property be
destroyed or damaged either physically or through condemnation (or threat
thereof) before Closing, Seller shall provide Purchaser written notice of such
occurrence within ten (10) calendar days after the date of casualty or receipt
of condemnation notice and, at the election of Purchaser (without prejudice to
any other rights or remedies available to Purchaser at law or in equity for
violation or breach of this Agreement): (i) Purchaser may terminate this
Agreement and all Xxxxxxx Money will be immediately returned to Purchaser by
Escrow Agent; or (ii) Purchaser may consummate this Agreement and receive such
insurance proceeds (or an appropriate credit against the Purchase Price, if no
insurance coverage is in effect) or condemnation awards (if any) which are paid;
and, in addition, Seller shall assign to Purchaser Seller's interest in and to
any condemnation awards or offers or insurance proceeds as the case may
be. This latter option must be exercised by Purchaser within fifteen
(15) calendar days after Seller provides Purchaser written notice of (x) the
amount of insurance proceeds, if any, Seller will receive on the claim of loss
or (y) the amount of the condemnation award. Seller shall not make
any casualty or condemnation settlement without Purchaser's prior written
approval.

Agreement, and the rights and obligations hereunder, may be assigned by
Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller, provided that such
assignment is to an entity that is affiliated with or in partnership with
Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may not assign
this Agreement without the written prior consent of Seller, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. Any such approved assignee shall assume

copy of such assignment shall be provided to Seller in writing within two (2)
business days after it is signed by Purchaser and his (its)
assignee. No such assignment shall release the original Purchaser
from liability to Seller as set forth in this Agreement.
15. AUTHORITY. Each

warrants that such individual or entity is authorized to execute this Agreement
on behalf of the person or entity on whose behalf such person or entity is shown
to be acting. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at Closing an

16. DEFAULT. In the
event of Purchaser's default under this Agreement, including, but not limited
to, failure to consummate the purchase as herein provided, Seller agrees to
provide Purchaser with written notice of such default specifying the nature of
such default. Purchaser shall have a ten (10) day period after the
date of receipt of said notice in which to commence to cure said default. In the
event that Purchaser does not commence to cure said default within said ten (10)
day period and the transaction contemplated hereby is not closed by reason of
Purchaser's default (and Seller has performed all of its obligations hereunder
and all conditions precedent to Purchaser's obligation to Close have been met or
fulfilled), then the Xxxxxxx Money shall be paid to Seller as full liquidated
damages, this Agreement shall be null and void, and none of the parties hereto
shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder. Purchaser and
Seller acknowledge that it would be difficult if not impossible to ascertain
more precisely the actual damages which might be suffered by Seller as a result
of any default by Purchaser and agree that such liquidated damages are a
reasonable estimate thereof are not intended as a penalty but rather as full
liquidated damages and shall be Seller's sole remedy in the event of Purchaser's
default, Seller hereby waiving the remedy of specific performance. If
the purchase of the Property is not consummated in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement because of Seller’s default, Purchaser being ready,
willing, and able to perform all obligations imposed upon Purchaser hereby, the
Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser within five (5) business days of
written demand from Purchaser to Escrow Agent and Seller and in addition,
Purchaser shall have the right, at its sole election: (a) to terminate this
Agreement; (b) to pursue specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this
Agreement; or, if specific performance is an inadequate remedy as a result of
the acts or omissions of Seller, to pursue its remedies at law and
equity.
17. NOTICES. Any
notices or demands permitted or required hereunder shall be in writing, shall
include a copy to all parties hereto, and shall be deemed to have been duly

context of this Agreement. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, legal

respects in accordance with the laws of the state of Georgia. No

its option, to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Xxxxxxx
Money (less the sum of one hundred dollars ($100.00) which shall be delivered to
Seller as option money for entering into this Agreement), without prejudice to
