release the Escrow Agent from any act done or omitted to be done by the
Escrow Agent in good faith in the performance of its duties hereunder.

manner herein provided, the Escrow Agent shall have no further
liability hereunder.

All of the representations, warranties and agreements of Seller set
forth herein and elsewhere in this Agreement shall be true upon the execution of
this Agreement and shall be reaffirmed and repeated in writing at and as of the
Closing Date, but not subsequent to the Closing Date, and shall survive the
Closing Date.
(b) In order to induce Seller to enter into this Agreement and
to induce Seller to sell the Premises, Buyer makes the following
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties, all of which
shall survive the Closing and the purchase and sale of the Premises:
(1) Buyer is a corporation duly organized and validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Florida. Buyer has all requisite power and authority under the
laws of the State of Florida and its charter documents to
enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement
and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
(2) Buyer has taken all necessary action to authorize
the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and
upon the execution and delivery hereof, this Agreement shall
constitute the valid and binding agreement of Buyer.
12. Covenants of Seller Pending Closing. Between the date hereof and
the Closing Date:
(a) Seller shall not enter into any contracts for services or
otherwise that may be binding upon the Premises or upon the Buyer
subsequent to Closing, nor grant or permit the granting of any
easements or licenses affecting the Premises, nor take or permit any
legal action in connection with the Premises which will affect Buyer's
title to the Premises, nor enter into or consent to any leases of space
in the Premises other than residential leases entered into in the
ordinary course of Seller's business, without the express prior written
consent of Buyer. Buyer's consent may be withheld at Buyer's sole
option; however, Buyer's response to any of the foregoing shall not be
unreasonably delayed and, if denied, shall be accompanied by a
reasonably detailed explanation of the reason for such denial.
(b) Seller shall within two (2) business days following
receipt thereof (or the day of receipt if received the day prior to the
Closing Date) provide Buyer with copies of any letters or notices
received by Seller relating to or in any manner affecting the Premises.
(c) Seller shall, at no expense to Seller, reasonably
cooperate with Buyer in connection with Buyer's obtaining any insurance
which may be required to be maintained by Buyer with respect to the
Premises following the Closing, including the possible assumption by
Buyer of Seller's existing insurance coverage (evidence of which Seller
shall furnish Buyer on request).
13. Eminent Domain. If prior to the date of the Closing, Seller
acquires knowledge of any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding to
condemn or take all or any part of the Premises under the power of eminent
domain, then Seller shall immediately give notice thereof to Buyer. If such
condemnation would otherwise give Tenant the option to reduce or xxxxx rent or
terminate the Lease, then, at Buyer's option, buyer may terminate this
Agreement, whereupon the full amount of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be paid
by Escrow Agent to Buyer, and all parties shall thereupon be relieved of all
further liability hereunder. If such condemnation would not otherwise give
Tenant the option to reduce or xxxxx rent or terminate the Lease, or if it gives
Tenant such option and Tenant waives such option in writing, then Seller will
promptly commence the reconstruction and the parties shall proceed with the
Closing in accordance with, and subject to, the terms hereof.
14. Casualty. If prior to the date of the Closing the Premises, or any
portion thereof, shall be damaged or destroyed by reason of fire, storm,
accident or other casualty, then Seller shall immediately give notice thereof to
Buyer. If such casualty would otherwise give Tenant the option to reduce or
xxxxx rent or terminate the Lease, then Buyer, at its option, may terminate this
Agreement, whereupon the full amount of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be paid
by Escrow Agent to Buyer, and all parties shall thereupon be relieved of all
further liability hereunder. If such casualty would not otherwise give Tenant
the option to reduce or xxxxx rent or terminate the Lease, or if it gives Tenant
such option and Tenant waives such option in writing, then the parties shall
proceed with the Closing in accordance with, and subject to the terms hereof. In
such event, all such proceeds of any insurance plus the amount of any deductible
(which shall be paid by Seller) will be applied toward reconstruction.
15. Remedies Upon Default.
(a) In the event Buyer breaches or defaults under any of the
terms of this Agreement prior to or on the Closing Date, the sole and
exclusive remedy of Seller shall be to receive from Escrow Agent the
full amount of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, and Buyer shall have no right
therein. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that (i) the Xxxxxxx
Money Deposit and any interest earned thereon if received in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement is a reasonable estimate of and bears
a reasonable relationship to the damages that would be suffered and
costs incurred by Seller as a result of having withdrawn the Premises
from sale and the failure of Closing to occur due to a default of Buyer
under this Agreement; (ii) the actual damages suffered and costs
incurred by Seller as a result of such withdrawal and failure to close
due to a default of Buyer under this Agreement would be extremely
difficult and impractical to determine; (iii) Buyer seeks to limit its
liability under this Agreement to the amount of the Xxxxxxx Money
Deposit and any interest earned thereon if the transaction contemplated
by this Agreement does not close due to a default of Buyer under this
Agreement; and (iv) such amount shall be and constitute valid
liquidated damages.
(b) In the event Seller defaults under any of the terms of
this Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date (including, without
limitation, by failing or refusing to deliver any items required to be
delivered pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 of this Agreement), Buyer
shall be entitled to (i) receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit
and terminate this Agreement, or (ii) compel specific performance of
this Agreement, in which event Buyer may also recover its damages
incurred as a result of such default, including but not limited to all
of its costs and attorneys' fees in seeking such specific performance,
or (iii) if specific performance is not possible or if Buyer elects not
to pursue specific performance, recover damages incurred as a result of
such default, which shall include damages resulting from a breach of
any warranty or representation of Seller as of the Closing even if the
same is not discovered until after the Closing, to the extent the same
survive the Closing.
16. Notices. All notices, elections, requests and other communication
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when personally
delivered, or (ii) two (2) business days after being deposited in the United
States mail, postage prepaid, certified or registered, or (iii) the next
business day after being deposited with a recognized overnight mail or courier
delivery service, or (iv) when transmitted by facsimile or telecopy
transmission, with receipt acknowledge upon transmission; addressed as follows

17. Brokerage Commissions. Seller and Buyer each warrant to the other
party that no finders or brokers have been involved with the introduction of
Buyer and Tenant and/or the execution and delivery of the Lease and the leasing
of the Premises pursuant thereto. In the event of a breach of the foregoing
warranties, the breaching party agrees to save, defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the non-breaching party from and against any claims, losses, damages,
liabilities and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys' fees. The
obligations of this Section shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of
this Agreement.
18. Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) Assignment; Binding Effect. Buyer may assign all of its
rights and obligations hereunder without the written consent of Seller
to any entity which is owned or controlled by Buyer or any affiliate of
Buyer provided, however, that any assignee of Buyer shall assume all of
the obligations of Buyer hereunder. In the event of any permitted
assignment hereunder Buyer shall thereupon be relieved of all further
liability under this Agreement; except that the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit
shall not be released or otherwise adversely affected as a result of
any such assignment. Seller shall not have the right to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
Seller and Buyer and their respective successors and assigns.
(b) Captions. The several headings and captions of the
Sections and subsections used herein are for convenience of reference
only and shall in no way be deemed to limit, define or restrict the
substantive provisions of this Agreement.
(c) Entire Agreement; Recording. This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement of Buyer and Seller with respect to the purchase
and sale of the Premises, and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous
agreement with respect thereto. No amendment or modification of this
Agreement shall be binding upon the parties unless made in writing and
signed by both Seller and Buyer. Neither this Agreement nor any
Memorandum thereof shall be recorded by any party and, if recorded by
any party, the other party hereto may immediately terminate all of its
obligations under this Agreement.
(d) Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to
the performance of all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this
Agreement.
(e) Cooperation. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully with
each other to carry out effectively the purchase and sale of Premises
in accordance herewith and the satisfaction and compliance with all of
the conditions and requirements set forth herein, and shall execute
such instruments and perform such acts as may be reasonably requested
by either party hereto.
(f) Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights of the
parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws and customs of the State in which the Premises are located.
(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate
counterparts each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an
original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the
same instrument.
(h) Attorneys' Fees. In the event any party to this Agreement
should bring suit against the other party in respect to any matters
provided for herein, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
from the non-prevailing party its costs of court, legal expenses and
reasonable attorneys' fees. As used herein, the "prevailing party"
shall include, without limitation, any party who dismisses an action
for recovery hereunder in exchange for payment of the sums allegedly
due, performance of covenants allegedly breached or consideration
substantially equal to the relief sought in the action.
(i) Certain References. As used in this Agreement, the words
"hereof," "herein," "hereunder" and words of similar import shall mean
and refer to this entire Agreement and not to any particular article,
section or paragraph of this Agreement, unless the context clearly
indicates otherwise.
(j) Time Periods. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein,
all periods for performance, approval, delivery or review and the like
shall be determined on a "calendar" day basis. If any day for
performance, approval, delivery or review shall fall on a Saturday,
Sunday or legal holiday, the time therefor shall be extended to the
next business day.
(k) Authority. Each person executing this Agreement, by his or
her execution hereof, represents and warrants that they are fully
authorized to do so, and that no further action or consent on the part
of the party for whom they are acting is required to the effectiveness
and enforceability of this Agreement against such party following such
execution.
(l) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement should be
held to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of
the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected
thereby.
(m) Waiver. One or more waivers of any covenant, term or
condition of this Agreement by either party shall not be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or
condition. The consent or approval by either party to or of any act by
the other party requiring such consent or approval shall not be deemed
to waiver or render unnecessary consent to or approval of any
subsequent similar act.
(n) Relationship of the Parties. Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third
party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent or of
partnership or of joint venture between the parties hereto, it being
understood and agreed that no provision contained herein, nor any acts
of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create the relationship
between the parties hereto other than the relationship of seller and
buyer.
(o) Termination. This Agreement shall be void and of no force
and effect unless signed by Seller and delivered to Buyer no later than
five (5) days following the date of Buyer's execution of this
Agreement.
