Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that the Agreement, as amended by this Fifth Amendment, shall constitute a valid and binding contract between Seller and Purchaser.
11.Counterparts; Facsimile.
This Fifth Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document. An electronic mail copy of this Fifth Amendment and any signatures hereon shall be considered for all purposes as originals.
12.Purchaser Debt and Equity
. Purchaser hereby agrees that it will expeditiously pursue and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain funding, lending, and/or investment commitments from equity investors and/or lender(s) to raise enough capital and/or loan proceeds to pay the Phase III Purchase Price of Forty-two Million Five Thousand Five Hundred Seventy-two and 68/100 ($42,005,572.68), including, without limitation, paying the Third Additional Deposit to Escrow Agent when required herein.
13.Back-up Contracts.
4
Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that prior to the Third Additional Deposit Date, Seller shall have the right to continue to solicit and accept back-up purchase offers from other third party contract purchasers. If prior to the Third Additional Deposit Date Seller enters into a letter of intent to purchase the Phase III Property or otherwise accepts a back-up offer to purchase from a third-party purchaser unaffiliated with Seller for a price which is greater than the Phase III Purchase Price, then Seller shall provide Purchaser with written notice of the accepted offer including a copy of the accepted offer (the “Notice of Third Party Offer”), subject to Purchaser’s rights as set forth below in this Section 13. Purchaser shall then have a period of ten (10) business days from its receipt of Seller’s Notice of Third Party Offer in which to notify Seller that Purchaser desires to match the increased purchase price set forth in the Notice of Third Party Offer (the “Purchaser’s Notice of Acceptance of Third Party Offer”). If Purchaser does not timely deliver Purchaser’s Notice of Acceptance of Third Party Offer to Seller, Purchaser shall be deemed to have rejected the offer to purchase at the higher price. In the event that the offer is rejected (or deemed rejected) by Purchaser, the Agreement shall terminate and Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit, and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations except those which expressly survive termination of the Agreement. If Purchaser timely delivers the Purchaser’s Notice of Acceptance of Third Party Offer to Seller: (i) within ten (10) business days thereafter, Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to Escrow Agent the Third Additional Deposit, if not yet paid by Purchaser as required under Section 4 of this Fifth Amendment, which shall, together with the remainder of the Deposit, be non-refundable except upon the occurrence of a Fifth Amendment Deposit Refundability Event; (ii) Purchaser and Seller hereby agree to then enter into an amendment of the Agreement (as modified and amended by this Fifth Amendment) to increase the Purchase Price to the purchase price set forth in Seller’s Notice of Third Party Offer; and (iii) Seller shall cease all marketing efforts, will not entertain any other third-party offers and will terminate any binding agreement giving rise to the Notice of Third Party Offer. In the event Purchaser does not deliver to Seller Purchaser’s Notice of Acceptance of Third Party Offer in the time period required, Seller shall have the right to enter into a purchase and sale agreement with the buyer named in Seller’s Notice of Third Party Offer, upon which the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser (or to the party which paid such Deposit on behalf of Purchaser) and the Seller and Purchaser shall have no further rights or obligations except those that expressly survive a termination of the Agreement.
14.Arsenic Remediation.
Seller agrees that it shall promptly commence the process of performing the Arsenic Remediation (as defined in the Third Amendment) after the Third Additional Deposit Date from the Additional Land and shall diligently pursue completion of the removal of the soil containing arsenic in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and the Agreement no later than sixty (60) days after the Phase III Closing Date. Section 12 of the Third Amendment is hereby amended to modify the penultimate sentence that was added to Section 19( e) (i) in such Section 12 of the Third Amendment to replace the word “Property” with the words “Additional Land”. As such, Seller’s obligation to complete the Arsenic Remediation only requires Seller to complete the Arsenic Remediation on the Additional Land.
