2. Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property is Thirty-Nine Million Sixty-Six Thousand Four Hundred Twenty-Seven and 67/100 Dollars ($39,066,427.67) (the “Purchase Price”), payable by Buyer as follows:
(a) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) (the “Initial Deposit”) by wire transfer payable to First American Title Insurance Company (“Escrow Agent”), which sum shall be delivered to Escrow Agent within three (3) business days following the Effective Date. The Initial Deposit shall be held in a segregated interest bearing, federally insured account, by Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit “B” (the “Escrow Agreement”) and this Agreement pending consummation of this transaction. Any interest earned on the Deposit (as defined below) shall be paid to Buyer unless Seller shall be entitled to the Deposit by reason of a default by Buyer, in which case such interest shall be paid to Seller. Seller’s Federal Tax I.D. Number is 00-0000000
(b) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) (the “Additional Deposit” and, collectively with the Initial Deposit, the “Deposit”) by wire transfer to the Escrow Agent within three (3) business days following the satisfactory completion of the
Due Diligence Period. The Additional Deposit shall be held in the same manner and in accordance with the same conditions as the Initial Deposit pursuant to Section 2(a) hereinabove. Upon satisfactory completion of the Due Diligence Period, the Deposit shall become non-refundable, except in the case of a default by Seller, in which case the Deposit, together with interest thereon, shall be returned to Buyer. Except in the case of the payment of the Deposit to Seller at the Closing in accordance with the terms hereof, Escrow Agent shall not disburse any part of the Deposit without providing five (5) business days prior written notice of such disbursement to both Buyer and Seller.
(c) The balance of the Purchase Price (the Purchase Price minus the Deposit), subject to adjustments pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those adjustments set forth in Section 14 of this Agreement, shall be paid to Seller at Closing (as defined below) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds.
3. Closing. Closing (“Closing”) shall be held on August 29, 2013 (the “Closing Date”); provided, however, Buyer shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for up to (30) calendar days upon written notice to Seller. The Closing shall be an escrow closing with the Escrow Agent acting as the closing escrow agent. It is agreed that the time of Closing and the obligation of Seller to deliver the Deed (as defined below) to Buyer at Closing are of the essence of this Agreement.
4. Title. Buyer has ordered a title insurance commitment (the “Title Commitment”) from Escrow Agent.
(a) The Title Commitment shall be prepared in accordance with the current ALTA Form, or Texas equivalent, with the Escrow Agent agreeing to issue, upon recording of the Deed an ALTA owner’s title insurance policy to Buyer (“Title Policy”), and an ALTA Lender’s title insurance policy, or Texas equivalent, issued to Buyer’s lender(s), if applicable, in the amount of the Purchase Price insuring title to the Real Property to be in the condition called for by this Agreement. Seller shall cause the Escrow Agent at or prior to Closing to down date the Title Commitment to the date and time of the recording of the Deed and provide a “title xxxx-up” showing the final form of the title insurance policy to be issued, which xxxx-up shall obligate the Escrow Agent to issue the final title insurance policy in such form. The title xxxx-up and Title Policy shall be free from the standard requirements and exceptions, to the extent removable in Texas, and shall be subject only to the liens, encumbrances or exceptions reasonably approved by Buyer.
(b) Title Defects. Within five (5) business days of Buyer’s receipt of the latter of the Title Commitment or the Survey (as defined in Section 5 below), but in no event prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall object in writing to any condition of title not satisfactory to Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion (hereinafter referred to as a “Title Defect”). Any items to which Buyer does not object within such five (5) business day period shall be deemed to be acceptable to Buyer. If any objection is made, Seller shall have until prior to Closing in which to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to correct such Title Defects. Seller’s commercially reasonable efforts requirement in this paragraph shall, without limitation, obligate Seller to cure any and all monetary liens caused by Seller. If the Title Defect cannot be corrected prior to Closing despite Seller’s commercially reasonable efforts, or as otherwise
extended by agreement of Buyer and Seller, Buyer may, at its option (a) declare this Agreement null and void and the Escrow Agent shall promptly return the Deposit, together with all accrued interest, to Buyer, or (b) elect to accept such title as Seller is able to convey and proceed to Closing. If Buyer fails to notify Seller that Buyer is terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section within five (5) business days after the expiration of the five (5) business day period described above, Buyer shall be deemed to have selected option (b) in the previous sentence.
(c) Seller shall transfer to Buyer all of the Personal Property free of all liens and encumbrances.
