Certain building methods and materials have been proven to reduce the possibility of radon gas entering the building:
RADON GAS: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county public health unit.
12 |
7.5 “As Is” Condition. EXCEPT EXPRESSLY AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY SELLER TO PURCHASER AT CLOSING PURSUANT TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THIS SALE AND CONVEYANCE IS MADE ON AN AS-IS WHERE-IS BASIS AND SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE PROPERTY, THE STATE OF REPAIR OF THE PROPERTY, OR WITH RESPECT TO SOIL CONDITIONS OR THE PRESENCE OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. THIS DISCLAIMER DOES NOT EFFECT AN ASSUMPTION OF ANY LIABILITY BY PURCHASER AND IT SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO WAIVE ANY RIGHTS OF CONTRIBUTION OR INDEMNITY OR OTHERWISE AFFECT THE LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES TO EACH OTHER OR TO THIRD PARTIES UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.
ARTICLE 8. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
8.1 Seller’s Default. If, on or before Closing, Seller materially breaches any of the terms or provisions of, or is otherwise in default under, this Agreement, beyond any applicable cure period, Purchaser may (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and to Escrow Agent, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Purchaser; (ii) waive such default and consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or (iii) institute all proceedings necessary to specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement and cause title to Property to be conveyed to Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser agree that the Property is unique and that the right of specific performance is a just and equitable remedy under the circumstances. If, however, specific performance is not available as a remedy to Purchaser as a result of Seller’s conveyance of the Property to another or encumbrances placed on the Property by, through or under Purchaser, Purchaser shall be entitled to all remedies available at law. Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 8.1, Purchaser retains all rights and remedies available in law and equity to enforce provisions which survive termination of this Agreement.
8.2 Purchaser’s Default. If this transaction fails to close due to the default of Purchaser, then Seller’s sole remedy in such event shall be to terminate this Agreement and to retain the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages, Seller waiving all other rights or remedies in the event of such default by Purchaser. Purchaser and Seller have considered carefully the loss to Seller occasioned by taking the Property off the market as a consequence of the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, the expenses of Seller incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and Seller’s performance under this Agreement, and the other damages, general and special, which Purchaser and Seller realize and recognize Seller will sustain but which Purchaser and Seller agree would be impracticable or extremely difficult to calculate at this time if Purchaser so defaults. Based on all those considerations, Purchaser and Seller agree that the Xxxxxxx Money, together with the interest on it, represents a reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages. Seller agrees to accept the Xxxxxxx Money as Seller’s total damages and relief under this Agreement if Purchaser defaults in its obligations to close under this Agreement, Seller waiving all other rights and remedies. Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 8.2, Seller retains all rights and remedies available in law and equity to enforce provisions which survive termination of this Agreement.
8.3 Notice of Default and Cure Period. Except for a monetary default and/or a party’s failure to close on the Closing Date, neither party shall have the right to declare a default by the other party and terminate this Agreement because of a failure by such other party to perform under the terms of this Agreement unless the other party shall fail to cure such failure to perform within five Business Days after its receipt of written notice of such failure to perform if such non- monetary default (other than the other party’s failure to close on the Closing Date) is reasonably curable within said timeframe. If more than five Business Days is reasonably necessary to cure said non-monetary default, Purchaser shall allow Seller a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 10 Business Days) to cure so long as Seller begins the cure process within five Business Days and uses commercially reasonable efforts to cure. Without limiting its remedies if such a default is not cured in accordance with this Section 8.3, Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Closing Date one Business Day for each Business Day after such a written notice of default until the default is cured.
13 |
8.4 Other Expenses. If this Agreement is terminated due to the default of a party, then the defaulting party shall pay any fees due to the Escrow Agent for holding the Xxxxxxx Money and any fees due to the Title Company for cancellation of the Title Commitment.
ARTICLE 9. XXXXXXX MONEY PROVISIONS
9.1 Investment and Use of Funds. The Escrow Agent shall invest the Xxxxxxx Money in a government insured interest bearing account satisfactory to Purchaser at an institution having assets of not less than $125,000,000, shall not commingle the Xxxxxxx Money with any funds of the Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Purchaser and Seller with confirmation of the investments made. If the Closing under this Agreement occurs, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to, or upon the instructions of, Purchaser on the Closing Date. Provided such supplemental escrow instructions are not in conflict with this Agreement as it may be amended in writing from time to time, Seller and Purchaser agree to execute such supplemental escrow instructions as may be appropriate to enable Escrow Agent to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
9.2 Terminations. Upon a termination of this Agreement, either party to this Agreement (the “Terminating Party”) may give written notice to the Escrow Agent and the other party (the “Non-Terminating Party”) of such termination and the reason for such termination. Such request shall also constitute a request for the release of the Xxxxxxx Money to the Terminating Party. The Non-Terminating Party shall then have five Business Days in which to object in writing to the release of the Xxxxxxx Money to the Terminating Party. If the Non-Terminating Party provides such an objection, then the Escrow Agent shall retain the Xxxxxxx Money until it receives written instructions executed by both Seller and Purchaser as to the disposition and disbursement of the Xxxxxxx Money, or until ordered by final court order, decree or judgment, which is not subject to appeal, to deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to a particular party, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be delivered in accordance with such notice, instruction, order, decree or judgment.
9.3 Interpleader. Seller and Purchaser mutually agree that in the event of any controversy regarding the Xxxxxxx Money, unless mutual written instructions are received by the Escrow Agent directing the Xxxxxxx Money’s disposition, the Escrow Agent shall not take any action, but instead shall await the disposition of any proceeding relating to the Xxxxxxx Money or, at the Escrow Agent’s option, the Escrow Agent may interplead all parties and deposit the Xxxxxxx Money with a court of competent jurisdiction in which event the Escrow Agent may recover all of its court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Seller or Purchaser, whichever does not prevail in any such interpleader action, shall be solely obligated to pay such costs and fees of the Escrow Agent, as well as the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.
9.4 Liability of Escrow Agent. The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any loss, cost or expense incurred by Seller or Purchaser resulting from the Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting the Escrow Agent’s scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent.
ARTICLE 10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Parties Bound. Neither party shall not assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and any such prohibited assignment or delegation shall be void; provide that (a) Seller or Purchaser may assign this Agreement without the consent of the other in order to effect an Exchange pursuant to Section 10.17, and (b) Purchaser may assign this Agreement without Seller’s consent to a single purpose entity formed to take title to the Property and in which Purchaser holds a direct or indirect interest. Subject to the foregoing restriction, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors, assigns, heirs, and devisees of the parties. Notwithstanding any assignment to the contrary, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it shall remain fully liable to Seller for the faithful performance of all of Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement by any and all assignees of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.
14 |
10.2 Headings. The Article and Section headings of this Agreement are for convenience only and in no way limit or enlarge the scope or meaning of the language of this Agreement.
10.3 Invalidity and Waiver. If any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid or inoperative, then so far as is reasonable and possible the remainder of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and operative, and, to the greatest extent legally possible, effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion held invalid or inoperative. The failure by either party to enforce against the other party any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s right to enforce against the other party the same or any other such term or provision in the future.
10.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall, in all respects, be governed, construed, applied, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Property is located.
10.5 No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is not intended to give or confer any benefits, rights, privileges, claims, actions or remedies to any person or entity as a third party beneficiary, decree, or otherwise.
10.6 Entirety and Amendments. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the Property. This Agreement may be amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing executed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.
10.7 Time. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.
10.8 Confidentiality. During the period commencing on the Agreement Date and ending on the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain in strict confidence the material non-economic terms of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and shall not disclose, whether through press releases or any other means of publication (oral or written), material non-economic terms of this Agreement, except to Seller’s members, brokers, attorneys, accountants, advisors and lenders involved in the negotiation and consummation of this transaction (collectively, the “Representatives”). In furtherance of the foregoing: (i) Seller shall advise each of its Representatives of the confidential nature of any documentation and information disclosed to them and of Seller’s obligations under this Section 10.8; (ii) Seller acknowledges that there may be no adequate remedy at law for a material and adverse breach of this Section 10.8, and Purchaser shall have the right to seek injunctive relief for material and adverse breach or prospective breach of this Section 10.8; and (iii) Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or resulting from a material and adverse breach of this Section 10.8 by Seller. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions in this Agreement or any related agreement to the contrary, but subject to restrictions reasonably necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, any person may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. Seller is also permitted to disclose any information otherwise deemed confidential under this Section 10.8 in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and any litigation relating to the Property or this transaction, and as required by law. The provisions of this Section 10.8 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges that it has engaged Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, who in addition to being a Managing Member of Seller, and one of the recognized Brokers herein, is a broker for REMAX Commercial Associates, to assist Purchaser in its potential acquisition of adjacent or nearby properties to the Property, and in such efforts shall allow Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx the professional freedom to further Purchaser’s acquisition efforts.
10.9 No Recording. Purchaser shall not record this Agreement or any memorandum of this Agreement.
15 |
10.10 Attorneys’ Fees. If either party employs attorneys to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, the party against whom any final judgment is entered agrees to pay the prevailing party all reasonable costs, charges and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, expended or incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the enforcement action. The provisions of this Section 10.10 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.
10.11 Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the parties at the addresses set forth in Section 1.1. Any such notices shall be sent by (a) overnight delivery using a nationally recognized overnight courier, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered one Business Day after deposit with such courier, (b) personal delivery, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered upon receipt; or (c) electronic mail in a “PDF” format followed by one of the delivery methods described in clauses (a) or (b) above, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered upon transmission of such notice by electronic mail. A party’s address may be changed by written notice to the other party; provided, however, that no notice of a change of address shall be effective until actual receipt of such notice. Copies of notices are for informational purposes only, and a failure to give or receive copies of any notice shall not be deemed a failure to give notice. Notices given by counsel to the Purchaser shall be deemed given by Purchaser and notices given by counsel to the Seller shall be deemed given by Seller.
10.12 Construction. The parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and agree that the normal rule of construction – to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party – shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments to this Agreement.
10.13 Calculation of Time Periods. Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described in this Agreement, the day of the act or event on which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless the last day is not a Business Day, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is a Business Day. The last day of any period of time described in this Agreement shall be deemed to end at 5:00 p.m., Fort Lauderdale, Florida, time.
10.14 Procedure for Indemnity. The following provisions govern actions for indemnity under this Agreement. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim for which the indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnitee shall deliver to the indemnitor written notice of the claim. The indemnitor shall have the right to participate in, and, if the indemnitor agrees in writing that it will be responsible for any costs, expenses, judgments, damages and losses incurred by the indemnitee with respect to such claim, to assume the defense of such claim with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnitor and the indemnitee. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitor, if the indemnitee reasonably believes that representation of the indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in any proceeding relating to the claim. The failure of the indemnitee to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after the indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall not relieve the indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee under the indemnity, unless and only if and to the extent that the failure is prejudicial to the indemnitor’s ability to defend the claim. The indemnitee’s failure to so deliver written notice to the indemnitor will not relieve the indemnitor of any liability that it may have to any indemnitee other than the indemnitor’s indemnification obligation under this Agreement. If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to the claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld its consent to the settlement. The provisions of this Section 10.14 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.
10.15 Further Assurances. In addition to the acts and deeds recited in this Agreement and contemplated to be performed, executed and/or delivered by Seller to Purchaser at Closing, Seller agrees to perform, execute and deliver, but without any obligation to incur any additional liability or expense, on or after the Closing any further deliveries and assurances as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or to perfect the conveyance, transfer and assignment of the Property to Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 10.15 shall survive the Closing.
16 |
10.16 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall constitute one Agreement. To facilitate execution of this Agreement, the parties may execute counterparts of the signature pages and exchange them by telephone facsimile or electronic mail.
10.17 Section 1031 Exchange. Either party may consummate the purchase or sale (as applicable) of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (an “Exchange”) pursuant to § 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provided that: (a) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of an Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the exchanging party’s obligations under this Agreement; (b) the exchanging party shall effect its Exchange through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary; (c) neither party shall be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for relinquished or replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating an Exchange desired by the other party; and (d) the exchanging party shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by the non-exchanging party had the exchanging party not consummated the transaction through an Exchange. Neither party shall by this Agreement or acquiescence to an Exchange desired by the other party have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the exchanging party that its Exchange in fact complies with § 1031 of the Code.
