RECITALS
Whereas, Xxxxxxx has purchased an undivided 14.1798% interest in
that certain property legally described on Exhibit A attached
hereto (the "Property"), as a Co-Tenant with the AEI Partnership,
which as of the date hereof owns an undivided 18.0202% interest
in the Property; and
Whereas, as consideration for Xxxxxxx'x purchase of its interest
in the Property from the AEI Partnership, the AEI Partnership has
granted Xxxxxxx the Limited Option of First Sale of Xxxxxxx'x
interest in the Property, but only upon the limited terms set
forth herein.
Now, therefore, in Consideration of the purchase by Xxxxxxx
of its undivided interest in the Property, Xxxxxxx and the AEI
Partnership (in its individual capacity as a matter of contract
right and not as a covenant running with the AEI Partnership's
interest in the Property) agree that:
1. Freedom of Transfer. Xxxxxxx shall be free to dispose of
its interest in the Property, whether according to this
Agreement, or upon such terms and conditions as Xxxxxxx shall
determine. However, the rights afforded Xxxxxxx hereunder are
personal to Xxxxxxx, and may not be assigned and do not run with
Xxxxxxx'x interest in the Property. The AEI Partnership shall be
free to sell or transfer all any part of its interest in the
Property, provided, however, for as long as Xxxxxxx shall retain
an undivided interest in the Property, the AEI Partnership will
retain at least a 5% ownership interest in the Property, subject
to disposition by the AEI Partnership as further set forth
herein. The AEI Partnership's sale or transfer of its remaining
5% interest shall be governed by the terms hereof.
2. Limited Option of First Sale. At such time as the AEI
Partnership intends to sell all or any portion of its remaining
interest in the Property (provided such sale is not in connection
with a Liquidation Plan (defined below)), which sale would bring
the AEI Partnership's interest below an undivided 5% interest,
the AEI Partnership agrees it will:
AA. Notice of Intent to Sell. Provide Xxxxxxx with written
notice of the AEI Partnership's intent to sell the AEI
Partnership's remaining interest of or below 5% of the
Property ("Remaining Interest"), prior to accepting any
offer to sell such Remaining Interest;
BB. Notice of Buyer's Offer. Provide Xxxxxxx with written
notice ("AEI Partnership Notice") containing all of the
relevant terms and conditions of the offer, including a copy
of the Purchase Agreement from a buyer willing to make a
valid offer for the purchase of all or a portion of the
Remaining Interest held by the AEI Partnership, and a
statement of the costs incurred by the AEI Partnership
(including reasonable outside attorney's fees, if any) in
obtaining said offer.
C. Notice of Acceptance or Deemed Rejection. Within 10
business days of receipt of such AEI Partnership Notice,
Xxxxxxx will either:
(a) accept by written notification an assignment
of such offer for themselves and sell part, or all, of
its interest in the property to the buyer upon terms
contained in the AEI Partnership Notice, in which event
Xxxxxxx agrees to reimburse the AEI Partnership for the
costs incurred by the AEI Partnership in obtaining said
offer; or
(b) reject the offer contained in the AEI
Partnership Notice; if no written acceptance of the AEI
Partnership's offer to assign its interest is received
by the AEI Partnership within said ten days, Xxxxxxx
will have been deemed to have rejected such offer.
Upon Xxxxxxx'x rejection of the offer, the AEI Partnership
shall be free to sell all, or part, of its Remaining
Interest in the Property to such buyer upon such terms and
conditions as stated in the notice to Xxxxxxx.
D. Termination or Survival of Limited Option. If the
buyer is willing and able to acquire the entire interest
owned by Xxxxxxx, and Xxxxxxx decline to sell its entire
interest, then the AEI Partnership shall have no continuing
obligation to provide Xxxxxxx with any further notice of an
option to sell any interest in the Property. If the buyer
is willing to acquire only a portion of the interest in the
property owned by Xxxxxxx, then the AEI Partnership shall
remain subject to the provisions hereof until released
therefrom according to the terms hereof.
3. Plan of Liquidation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the aforesaid Option to Sell shall not apply nor be
binding on the AEI Partnership, if the AEI Partnership shall
dispose of all of its interest in the Property according to a
written plan of liquidation ("Plan of Liquidation") executed
prior to the disposition of the AEI Partnership's remaining
interest in the Property, said Plan of Liquidation contemplating
the sale of all of the AEI Partnership's assets over a continuous
period in a series of related transactions commenced with the
express design to liquidate the AEI Partnership's interests in
all assets, and no damages shall accrue to Xxxxxxx if in fact
such liquidation occurs within a commercially reasonable time in
accordance with such written Plan of Liquidation.
