This AGREEMENT, entered into effective as of the 31st of October,

l. Parties. Seller is AEI Net Lease Income & Growth Fund XX
Limited Partnership ("Seller"). Seller holds an undivided 100%
interest in the fee title to that certain real property legally
described in the attached Exhibit "A" (the "Property"). Buyer is
Continental Foods, Inc. and/or its assigns ("Buyer"). Seller
wishes to sell and Buyer wishes to buy the Property.
2. Property. The Property to be sold to Buyer in this transaction
is legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto.
3. Purchase Price. The purchase price for this Property is
$950,000 cash plus $50 independent consideration, based on the
following terms:
4. Terms. The purchase price for the Property will be paid by
Buyer as follows:
(a) When this agreement is executed, Buyer will pay $500 in
cash or good funds (the "First Payment") to Land America,
Attn: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000,
Xxxxxxx, XX 00000 ("Escrowee"). The First Payment will be
credited against the purchase price when and if escrow
closes and the sale is completed, or otherwise disbursed
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The First Payment
held for the account of Seller shall be non-refundable
unless Seller shall default hereunder or if Seller is
unwilling or unable to cure any title, survey or
environmental defects or if all contingencies in section
19(a) below are not met.
(b) Buyer will pay the balance of purchase price for the
Property, $949,500 in cash or good funds (the "Second
Payment"), at closing to the Escrowee who shall close the
transaction according to the terms hereof.
(c) When this Agreement is executed, Buyer will also pay $50
in cash in good funds directly to Seller ("Option
Consideration"), which shall be in consideration for Seller's
execution of this Agreement, but will be credited against the
purchase price when and if escrow closes and the sale is
completed. The Option Consideration shall be considered non-
refundable if this Agreement is terminated for any reason.
5. Closing Date. Escrow shall close on or before the thirtieth
day after the Effective Date of this Agreement subject to all
contingencies in section 19(a) having been met.
6. Due Diligence. Buyer will have until the expiration of the
30th day after the Effective Date of this Agreement (the
"Inspection and Feasibility Study Period"), to conduct all of its
inspections and due diligence and satisfy itself regarding title
to the Property, and to inspect the Property at Buyer's sole
expense. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless for
any loss or damage to the Property or persons caused by Buyer or
its agents arising out of such physical inspections of the
Property. Buyer expressly acknowledges that the sale of the
Property as provided for herein is made on an "AS IS" basis, and
such provision shall survive closing.
Buyer may cancel this Agreement for ANY REASON at its sole
discretion by delivering a cancellation notice by certified mail,
return receipt requested, or by personal delivery to Seller and
escrow holder before the expiration of the Inspection and
Feasibility Study Period. The First Payment shall be non-
refundable unless Seller shall default hereunder or if Seller is
unwilling or unable to cure any title, survey or environmental
defects.
If Buyer cancels this Agreement as permitted under this
Section or Sections 16 or 17, except for any liabilities under
sections 15(a)(iii) and 16(b) of this Agreement (which will
survive), (after execution of such documents reasonably requested
by Seller to evidence the termination hereof), Buyer will have
absolutely no rights, claims or interest of any type in
connection with the Property or this transaction, regardless of
any alleged conduct by Seller or anyone else.
Unless Seller shall be in default of any obligation
hereunder, or this Agreement is canceled by Buyer pursuant to the
terms hereof, if Buyer fails to make the Second Payment, Seller
shall be entitled to retain the First Payment and Buyer
irrevocably will be deemed to have canceled this Agreement and
relinquished all rights in and to the Property. If this Agreement
is not canceled and the Second Payment is made when required, all
of Buyer's conditions and contingencies will be deemed satisfied.
7. Escrow. Escrow shall be opened by Buyer and the First Payment
shall be deposited by Buyer with Escrowee. A copy of this
Agreement will be delivered to the escrow holder and will serve
as escrow instructions together with the escrow holder's standard
instructions and any additional instructions required by the
escrow holder to clarify its rights and duties. The parties
agree to sign these additional instructions of the Escrowee, if
any. If there is any conflict between these other instructions
and this Agreement, this Agreement will control. Seller shall
notify Escrowee upon Seller's acceptance of this Agreement.
8. Title. Closing will be conditioned on the commitment of
Escrowee to issue an Owner's policy of title insurance, dated as
of the close of escrow, in an amount equal to the purchase price,
insuring that Buyer will own marketable and insurable fee simple
title to the Property subject only to: the exceptions reflected
in the title commitment reasonably acceptable to Buyer (the
"Permitted Exceptions"), current real property taxes and
assessments; and survey exceptions. Buyer shall have a Title
Commitment issued and tendered to Buyer, with a copy to Seller,
within ten (10) days of the date this Purchase Agreement is
delivered to Escrowee.
Buyer shall be allowed until the expiration of the
"Inspection and Feasibility Study Period" for examination and the
making of any objections to the survey and to any exception
contained in the Title Commitment, said objections to be made in
writing or deemed waived. If any objections are so made, the
Seller shall be allowed thirty (30) days to cure Buyer's
objections, or in the alternative to obtain a commitment for
insurable title insuring over Buyer's objections. If within such
30-day period Seller fails to cure Buyer's objections, or is
unable to obtain insurable title to Buyer's reasonable
satisfaction, Buyer may elect to cancel this Agreement and (after
execution by Buyer of such documents reasonably requested by
Seller to evidence the termination hereof) Buyer's First Payment
shall be returned and this agreement shall be null and void and
of no further force and effect.
If Buyer shall make no written objection to Seller within
the Review Period setting forth Buyer's objections to the status
of title, Buyer shall have been deemed to have waived any such
objections.
9. Closing Costs. Seller will pay the transfer taxes, if any.
Seller will pay all escrow fees attributable to the closing
services for this transaction. Seller will pay the cost of
issuing the title commitment and the cost of the title insurance
premium for an Owner's policy. Seller will pay the mortgage
registration tax, the costs of a new survey or an update to the
Survey in Seller's possession (if an update is required by
Buyer). All other closing costs shall be paid by Seller. Each
party will pay its own attorneys' fees and costs to document and
close this transaction.
10. Real Estate Taxes, Special Assessments and Prorations.
Seller represents that to the best of its knowledge, all real
estate taxes and assessments due and payable in all years prior
to the year of Closing have been paid in full. Responsibility
for real estate taxes and special assessments shall be prorated
as of the date of closing based upon the most recently available
tax xxxx and any known increase in the assessed valuation or the
tax rate. All real estate taxes and special assessments due and
payable in the years following the year in which closing occurs
shall otherwise be the responsibility of Buyer. However, Seller
shall remain responsible for the pro-rata share of taxes prior to
closing and Buyer assumes the responsibility for the pro-rata
share of taxes after closing. Seller will deposit their amount
of pro-rated taxes with the Escrowee to be held and disbursed
when the actual property tax xxxx is received. Seller and Buyer
agree that the parties shall, if necessary, re-prorate the taxes
when actual tax bills for the year of closing are available.
This agreement to re-prorate taxes shall survive closing.
