AS BUYER, AND X. X. XXXXXX COMPANY, AS SELLER
1. During the Examination Period, Buyer shall have the right to study
the Property and to obtain approval of the site from such retailers as
Buyer deems appropriate. If Buyer, for any reason, chooses to terminate
the Agreement during the initial one hundred eighty (180) day Examination
Period, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing prior to the expiration of
such 180 day period and upon such termination Buyer shall be entitled to a
refund of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit and the parties shall be relieved of
all further obligations to one another except for Buyer's indemnity
obligation pursuant to Paragraph 7 below.
Buyer shall have the right to extend the Examination Period set forth in
Section 1(d) for two additional ninety (90) day periods, provided that
prior to the end of each current Examination Period, Buyer delivers
written notice to Seller that Buyer is extending the Examination Period
and increases the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit by an additional $25,000. If
Buyer, for any reason, chooses to terminate the Agreement during the
Examination Period as extended, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing prior
to the end of the current Examination Period and upon such termination
Seller shall be entitled to the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, except (i) in the
event of Seller's default occurring prior to Buyer's notice of termination,
or (ii) in the event that Buyer is unable to obtain permits for the
construction upon the Property of a shopping center containing
approximately 250,000 square feet and Buyer terminates this Agreement as
the result of its inability to obtain such construction permits, Buyer
having applied for such permits and having used good faith efforts to
obtain all such permits. If Buyer terminates this Agreement after the
initial 180 Examination Period and either event described in clauses
(i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence are applicable, then, in either
of such events, (but not otherwise) the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be
returned to Buyer. The Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be applicable to the
Purchase Price.
2. The Xxxxxxx Money Deposit referred to in Section 1(c) hereof shall
be delivered by Buyer to the Escrow Agent within five (5) days of the date
hereof. In the event Buyer fails to make the initial Xxxxxxx Money
Deposit, Seller may terminate this Agreement. All interest earned on the
Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be deemed a part of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit.
3. Within five (5) days of Buyer's request therefor, Seller shall
deliver to Buyer such information which Seller has in Seller's possession
pertaining to the Property as Buyer may reasonably request, such as copies
of surveys, title insurance policies, environmental reports and similar
items.
4. Buyer shall have the right to assign this Agreement to any entity
owned or controlled by Buyer or affiliated with Buyer upon prior written
notice to Seller. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding

with Buyer's purchase of the Property and shall receive a portion of the
commission due to XXX Xxxxxxx Associates pursuant to a separate agreement.
Buyer represents and warrants that it has dealt with and negotiated only
through Mid-Atlantic WM Realty, Inc. and XXX Xxxxxxx Associates with
request to the Purchase of the Property.
6. Seller shall (if necessary), without charge therefor but at no
expense or obligation to Seller, cooperate fully, and request others to
cooperate fully with Buyer, in obtaining building or other permits and
approvals from any governmental agency or quasi-governmental agency
asserting jurisdiction over the Property as may be necessary for the
construction on the Property of a shopping center containing approximately
250,000 square feet including without limitation special use permits,
rezonings of the Property or portions thereof, subdivision approvals, and
other similar permits, approvals and authorizations. Notwithstanding any
other provision hereof, however, Seller shall not be obligated to cooperate
with Buyer in obtaining or to consent to Buyer's obtaining of any permit,
approval, authorization or rezoning which in Seller's good faith judgment
impairs the value of the Property or imposes upon Seller an unacceptable
risk, cost or obligation. In the event, Seller refuses to cooperate with
Buyer in obtaining any permit, approval, authorization or rezoning sought
by Buyer, Buyer's sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement in which
event the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer.
7. Buyer shall have the right during the Examination Period to enter the
Property for the purpose of making inspections, assessments and evaluations
thereof. All such entries will be coordinated through Seller and shall be
subject to reasonable prior notice to Seller. Buyer shall indemnify and
hold Seller harmless from all damages caused by any such inspections,
assessments and evaluations and all such inspections, assessments and
evaluations shall be made at Buyer's sole risk, cost and expense.
8. Time is of the essence under this Agreement and there shall be no
extension of the Examination Period except as expressly set forth herein
and there shall be no extension of the Closing Date except upon the
written agreement of both Seller and Buyer.
9. During the Examination Period, Buyer shall make such environmental
inspections, audits and examinations of the Property as Buyer deems
appropriate. Except as otherwise herein provided, if Buyer completes the
acquisition of the Property hereunder, it is understood and agreed that
Buyer will be acquiring the Property in its AS IS, WHERE IS CONDITION WITH
ALL FAULTS and subject to any and all environmental matters present upon
or affecting the Property as such environmental matters may now exist.
Except as otherwise herein provided, Seller shall have no responsibility,
liability or duty to Buyer of any kind, express or implied, whether at
common law, pursuant to contract, or pursuant to any so-called federal or
state environmental laws, with respect to any environmental condition,
circumstance or matter now or hereafter located upon or affecting the
Property and Seller shall have no obligation or duty of any kind or nature
to correct, remediate, or remove any environmental condition, circumstance
or matter at, upon or affecting the Property.
10. In the event that Seller breaches any obligation hereunder or defaults
in its performance hereunder, then (except as provided below) Buyer's sole
and exclusive remedy for such breach or default shall be to either (i)
terminate this Agreement, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be
returned to Buyer whereupon both Seller and Buyer shall be relieved of all
obligations to one another except for Buyer's indemnity obligations pursuant
to Paragraph 7 of this Addendum; or (ii) to enforce this Agreement against
Seller by a suit for specific performance, Seller agreeing that this
Agreement is intended to be specifically enforceable. Except as provided
below, in no event shall Buyer be entitled to maintain against Seller an
action for compensatory damages for any amount, it being agreed that Buyer's
remedies for Seller's breach or default hereunder shall be limited either to
termination or specific performance as set forth above. In the event that
Buyer defaults in the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Xxxxxxx
Money Deposit shall be disbursed to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that Seller intentionally and in bad faith breaches its
obligation to sell the Property to Buyer in accordance with the terms
hereof by wrongfully conveying the Property to a third party, then Buyer
shall be entitled to pursue against Seller any and all claims and remedies
and to recover from Seller any and all damages as may be available to Buyer
at law or in equity as the result of such intentional and bad faith breach
by Seller, including without limitation the right to terminate this
Agreement, the right to have the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit disbursed to Buyer,
and the right to recover from Seller compensatory damages.
11. Prior to Closing, Seller shall be entitled to take such action with
respect to the performance of Seller's obligations under the Xxxxxx Rubber
Agreement as Seller in its discretion may elect. In the event that Seller
conveys to Xxxxxx Rubber Company the portion of the Property as is provided
for in the Xxxxxx Rubber Agreement, then such conveyance shall not
constitute a default hereunder or result in any diminution in the Purchase
Price. In the event that Seller does not fulfill all of Seller's
obligations under the Xxxxxx Rubber Agreement prior to Closing, then Seller
shall assign the Xxxxxx Rubber Agreement to Buyer and Buyer shall assume
all of Seller's obligations under the Xxxxxx Rubber Agreement. In
addition, Seller shall not be obligated to construct (or to reimburse Buyer
for any expenses or costs associated with such construction) Telephone
Avenue from its present termination point (as shown on Exhibit A) to Xxx
Road (a.k.a. Zoo Park Road) which extension of Telephone Avenue is a
condition precedent to the closing of Atlantic Avenue.
12. Buyer acknowledges that one of the lots fronting on Atlantic Avenue
which is shown on Exhibit A is presently owned by the X.X. Xxxxxx Shoe
Foundation (the "Foundation") such lot being that property acquired by
the Foundation pursuant to that certain deed recorded in Book 952 at
Page 552 in the Office of the Register of Deeds in Xxxxxxxx County, North
Carolina (such lot being referred to herein as the "Foundation Lot").
Buyer acknowledges that the Foundation is a separate entity distinct from
the Seller and that in order to purchase the Foundation Lot Buyer must
enter into a contract of purchase directly with the Foundation. Buyer's
obligation to purchase the Property hereunder is conditioned upon Buyer
being able to enter into a contract with the Foundation contemporaneously
with the execution of this Agreement providing for the Buyer's purchase
from the Foundation of the Foundation Lot for a purchase price not to
exceed $25,000 and otherwise on terms comparable to those of this
Agreement. In the event that the Buyer does not terminate this Agreement
prior to the expiration of the initial 180 Examination Period, then Buyer
shall be deemed to have waived the condition set forth in this Paragraph
12. In the event that Buyer enters into a contract to purchase the
Foundation Lot and thereafter Buyer does not for any reason complete the
purchase of the Property from Seller, then Buyer shall upon Seller's
demand assign the contract to purchase the Foundation Lot to Seller or if
Buyer has acquired the Foundation Lot, Buyer shall convey the Foundation
Lot to Seller upon Seller's payment to Buyer of an amount equal to the
amount paid by Buyer to the Foundation for the purchase of the Foundation
Xxx.
00
00. Buyer acknowledges that Seller does not yet own those lots marked on
Exhibit A as being owned by the Estate of Rich. Seller agrees that prior
to Closing it shall acquire the lots shown on Exhibit A as belonging to the
Estate of Rich (the "Rich Property") so that Seller may convey such Rich
Property to Buyer as a portion of the Property. Seller represents and
warrants that Seller has entered into a contract providing for the Seller's
purchase of the Rich Property. If Seller does not acquire the Rich
Property so that the Rich Property can be conveyed to Buyer at Closing as
provided herein, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement and upon such
termination the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and Seller
shall be obligated to reimburse Buyer for its actual reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement
and Buyer's examination of the Property.
14. In the event that Buyer's title examination reveals any matter of
record which is not a Permitted Exception and which Buyer is not willing
to accept, then Seller shall have the right but not the obligation to seek
to cure or remove such title exception as set forth in Paragraph 6 (c) of
the Agreement For Purchase and Sale to which this Addendum is attached.
In the event that Seller fails or refuses to cure or remove the title
matter to which Buyer has objected, Buyer's sole and exclusive rights shall
be either (i) to terminate this Agreement and obtain a refund of the Xxxxxxx
Money Deposit; or (ii) to waive its objection to the title exception and
complete the closing hereunder without any decrease in the Purchase Price.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, Seller shall be obligated to remove and
discharge deeds of trust, mortgages, monetary liens, and monetary
encumbrances constituting liens against the Property.
15. Buyer acknowledges that the buildings and improvements presently
located upon the Property are not material to Buyer's obligation to
purchase the Property inasmuch as Buyer's intent is to develop the
Property into a shopping center which will necessarily entail the removal
and demolition of the buildings and improvements presently located upon
the Property. Accordingly, Seller and Buyer hereby agree as follows with
respect to the buildings and improvements presently upon the Property.
Prior to Closing Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, continue to
operate its business upon the Property in the usual and customary course
of Seller's business consistent with past operations. Seller may, but
shall be under no obligation of any kind to Buyer to, make any repairs or
capital expenditures of any kind or type with respect to any buildings or
improvements presently located upon the Property. Seller shall not be
required to restore or repair any casualty damage or loss to any buildings
or improvements located upon the Property and no fire loss, storm damage
or other casualty damage or loss to the buildings and improvements shall
relieve Buyer of its obligation to purchase hereunder. Prior to Closing
Seller may, at any time, remove, demolish, or alter any and all buildings
or improvements presently located upon the Property and may remove
therefrom any and all fixtures, equipment, and personal property belonging
to Seller all without notice to or consent from Buyer and no such removal,
demolition, or alteration shall relieve Buyer of its obligation to
purchase the Property hereunder or result in a diminution of the Purchase
Price. If Seller elects to remove or demolish any building or other
improvement presently upon the Property, Seller shall do so in an orderly
manner and shall, prior to Closing, remove from the Property all debris
or waste associated with such removal or demolition and shall grass the
area from which the building or improvement was removed or demolished.
16. The terms of this Addendum shall be incorporated into and shall
constitute terms of the Agreement for Purchase and Sale identified above.
In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Addendum and the
printed terms of the Agreement, the terms of this Addendum shall control.
