This Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 24th day of March, 2011 (the “Effective Date”) by and between CROSSTOWN OWNER LLC, a Florida limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as the “Seller”) and CRESCENT RESOURCES, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as the “Purchaser”).
ARTICLE I — PROPERTY TO BE CONVEYED
A. Seller shall sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, (i) that certain parcel of land comprising approximately twenty-three (23) acres, on the south side of Xxxxxxx Lake Drive, being a portion of Xxx 0, Xxxxx X, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Book 88, Pages 23-1 through 23-7 (hereinafter referred to as the “Land”) as generally shown on the preliminary site plan attached hereto as Exhibit A and by this reference incorporated herein, (ii) any improvements on the Land (hereinafter referred to as the “Improvements”); (iii) all permits and licenses exclusively serving the Land; (iv) all right, title and interest, if any, of Seller in and to any land lying in the bed of any street, road, highway or avenue, open or proposed, in front of or adjoining all or any part of the Land, any and all strips, gores or rights-of-way, riparian rights and easements, (v) all right, title and interest of Seller, if any, in and to any award or payment made or to be made (a) for any taking in condemnation or eminent domain of land lying in the bed of any street, road, highway or avenue, open or proposed, in front of or adjoining all or any part of the Land, (b) for damage to the Land or any part thereof by reason of any change of grade or closing of any such street, road, highway or avenue, and (c) for any taking in condemnation or eminent domain of any part of the Land (all of the foregoing property is hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Property”). The legal description for the Property shall be determined by the survey described in Article III A below, and at the request of either party, the parties will amend this Agreement to incorporate said legal description.
B. Purchaser’s intended use for the Property is to construct a multifamily residential community with a maximum number of three hundred forty-four (344) multi-family residential units on the Property together with clubhouse, swimming pool, rental office, residents’ business office, tennis courts and related amenities (the “Intended Use”). Other uses shall not be permitted on the Property without Seller’s written consent which may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion until the first to occur of (i) the date that Seller no longer owns any undeveloped property for sale or development in Crosstown Center, or (ii) twenty (20) years after Closing. Purchaser acknowledges that the Property is included in the Crosstown Center development of regional impact (“DRI”) and is subject to the development order, as amended, for such DRI (the “DRI Development Order”). Purchaser shall be responsible during the Inspection Period (as hereinafter defined) for determining that the Property can be legally used for the Intended Use in accordance with applicable zoning, DRI Development Order and recorded covenants and restrictions; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that pursuant to Section IX B herein Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete, at its cost and expense, (i) a major modification to the existing zoning (“Rezoning”), and (ii) a notice of proposed change (“NOPC”) to the DRI Development Order, to allow the Intended Use on the Property, both as more particularly required as a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close as set forth in Section IX B herein. The Rezoning and NOPC may be collectively referred to herein as the “Land Use Approvals.” At Closing, Seller shall allocate to the Property and transfer to Purchaser DRI development entitlements sufficient for Purchaser’s Intended Use of the Property at no additional cost to Purchaser. Such development entitlements shall be appurtenant to the Property and shall be re-conveyed to Seller with the Property should Seller exercise its repurchase option as described in Section XIX L below.
C. In connection with Purchaser’s development of the Property, Purchaser acknowledges that it will be required by Hillsborough County to pay certain transportation impact fees. Seller has previously obtained from Hillsborough County certain impact fee offsets (“Impact Fee Offsets”) which can be utilized as credits against transportation impact fees due to Hillsborough County. At the time Purchaser is required to pay any transportation impact fees associated with any development of the Property, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing when Purchaser is ready to purchase Impact Fee Offsets and, if applicable, shall also notify Seller as to the best offer Purchaser has received in writing from others having Impact Fee Offsets available for purchase by Purchaser (such notice to Seller shall contain the written offer from such third party, if any). Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of Purchaser’s written notice whether or not Seller has such Impact Fee Offsets available and whether or not Seller desires to sell them to Purchaser on a dollar for dollar basis for a sales price equal to or less than the price which Purchaser has notified Seller has been offered to Purchaser from another seller of Impact Fee Offsets. If Seller has such Impact Fee Offsets and is willing to sell them to Purchaser for an amount not in excess of the amount specified in Purchaser’s notice to Seller as being available for purchase by Purchaser from another seller of Impact Fee Offsets, Seller shall sell to Purchaser and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, such Impact Fee Offsets at the agreed price. Seller shall provide Purchaser with evidence from Hillsborough County, reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, that such Impact Fee Offsets are available and transferrable, and such sale shall promptly occur and the assignment of such Impact Fee Offsets in the form required by or acceptable to Hillsborough County shall be made upon Purchaser’s payment to Seller of the purchase price for such Impact Fee Offsets. This obligation shall survive Closing.

ARTICLE II — PURCHASE PRICE
The purchase price (hereinafter referred to as the “Purchase Price”) for the Property shall be Four Million Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($4,200,000.00). Subject to all prorations and adjustments provided herein, the Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:
A. Within three (3) business days after the full execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall pay to First American Title Insurance Company (the “Escrow Agent”) One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) by wire-transfer, such amount to be deposited in an interest-bearing account (such $100,000.00, together with all interest earned thereon, is hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Deposit”). Subject to satisfaction of the condition precedent set forth in Section IX A below, within three (3) business days after Purchaser sends the Notice to Proceed, Purchaser shall pay to the Escrow Agent an additional One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) by wire-transfer, such amount to be deposited in the same interest-bearing account as was deposited the Initial Deposit (such $100,000.00, together with all interest earned thereon, is hereinafter referred to as the “Subsequent Deposit”). The Initial Deposit and the Subsequent Deposit are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Deposit”). The Deposit shall be applied toward the Purchase Price due at Closing (hereinafter defined) or otherwise shall be applied as elsewhere provided in this Agreement.
B. At the Closing, Escrow Agent shall pay the Deposit to Seller as a part of the Purchase Price, and the balance of the Purchase Price shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller by wire-transfer of funds immediately available to Seller.

In the event that such written instructions shall not be received by the Escrow Agent within ten (10) days after the Escrow Agent has served a written request for instructions upon Seller and Purchaser, then the Escrow Agent shall have the right to pay the Deposit into any court of competent jurisdiction and interplead Seller and Purchaser in respect thereof, and thereupon the Escrow Agent shall be discharged of any obligations in connection with this Agreement.
-3-
(c) Subject to Section II C (ii) (k) hereof, if costs or expenses are incurred by the Escrow Agent in its capacity as Escrow Agent because of litigation or a dispute between the Seller and Purchaser arising out of the holding of the Deposit in escrow, Seller and Purchaser shall each pay the Escrow Agent one-half of such reasonable costs and expenses. Except for such costs or expenses, no fee or charge shall be due or payable to the Escrow Agent for its services as escrow holder only.

(e) Purchaser and Seller hereby agree and acknowledge that the Escrow Agent assumes no liability in connection herewith except for negligence or willful misconduct; that the Escrow Agent shall never be responsible for the validity, correctness or genuineness of any document or notice referred to under this Agreement; and that in the event of any dispute under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent may seek advice from its own counsel and shall be fully protected in any action taken by it in good faith in accordance with the opinion of its counsel.
(f) All investments by Escrow Agent will be made in the regular course of business. To be entitled to same day investment (assuming good funds are provided), the Deposit must be received by noon; otherwise, such funds will be deposited on the next business day.

Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss caused by the failure, suspension, bankruptcy or dissolution of the Depository.
(i) Escrow Agent shall not be liable for loss or damage resulting from:
(i) any good faith act or forbearance of Escrow Agent;
-4-
(ii) any default, error, action or omission of any party, other than Escrow Agent;
(iii) any defect in the title to any property unless such loss is covered under a policy of title insurance issued by the Escrow Agent;
(iv) the expiration of any time limit or other delay which is not solely caused by the failure of Escrow Agent to proceed in its ordinary course of business, and in no event where such time limit is not disclosed in writing to the Escrow Agent;

(k) If Escrow Agent is made a party to any judicial, non-judicial or administrative action, hearing or process based on acts of any of the other parties hereto and not on the malfeasance and/or negligence of Escrow Agent in performing its duties hereunder, the expenses, costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Escrow Agent in responding to such action, hearing or process shall be paid by, and the party/parties whose alleged acts are a basis for such proceedings, shall indemnify, save and hold Escrow Agent harmless from said expenses, costs and fees so incurred.
ARTICLE III — TITLE AND SURVEY OBJECTIONS
A. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, Seller has delivered to Purchaser Seller’s existing surveys that include the Land entitled Crosstown Center, prepared by Professional Engineering Consultants, Inc., dated May 6, 2009, and last revised June 10, 2009 (the “Existing Survey”). On or before forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, obtain a survey of the Property sufficient for the deletion of the “survey exception” from the title insurance policy and otherwise acceptable to Purchaser (the “Survey”). The costs of the Survey shall be paid by Purchaser. If the survey shows any gaps, encroachments, overlaps, easements, or other defects, or matters that impair title for the Property or prevents or impedes Purchaser’s development of the Property for Purchaser’s Intended Use as reasonably determined by Purchaser, then Purchaser may so notify Seller in the same manner as this Agreement prescribes for Title Defects (as hereinafter defined).
-5-
B. Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s expense, obtain from First American Title Insurance Company (herein in this capacity referred to as the “Title Company”), an owner’s title insurance commitment (the “Commitment”) and on or before forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written statement of any objections to Seller’s title to the Property and any objections as to matters disclosed by the Survey (the “Notice of Defect”) describing in reasonable detail the existence and nature of any such objections (collectively, the “Title Defects”). Any title exception listed in the commitment or survey matter disclosed by the Survey that is not listed in such Notice of Defect (other than a Mandatory Removal Lien) shall be deemed a permitted title exception, subject to which the Property shall be conveyed to Purchaser. Within ten (10) days after receipt of the Notice of Defect, Seller shall provide notice to Purchaser of which Title Defects it elects to cure and Seller shall have until Closing to cure said Title Defects. Seller agrees to take commercially reasonable actions to satisfy all B-1 requirements in the Commitment within its control and Seller shall satisfy, pay or bond-off at Closing from the sales proceeds, amounts secured by consensual liens or mortgages; mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens, unless caused by Purchaser’s actions; real estate taxes and assessments which are due and payable (subject to proration adjustments as provided herein); and any liquidated final non-appealable liens or judgments affecting all or any portion of the Property, unless caused by Purchaser’s actions (collectively, the “Mandatory Removal Liens”). If Seller elects not to cure any or all Title Defects, Purchaser shall elect, by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after notice or deemed notice from Seller, to either (i) terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of so much of the Deposit as is then held by Escrow Agent, and thereafter this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other by reason hereof except for the Inspection Indemnity (hereinafter defined), or (ii) waive such objections and consummate the transaction contemplated herein without reduction of the Purchase Price. The foregoing part of this Section III B to the contrary notwithstanding, as Seller is obligated to cure and satisfy by Closing all Mandatory Removal Liens and all Title Defects which Seller agreed to cure prior to or at Closing in response to the Notice of Defect, Seller shall have until the Closing to so satisfy all such matters, and Purchaser need not make the election specified above with respect to such matters, and if Seller fails to cure and satisfy by Closing all such matters, Purchaser shall have the election specified in the last sentence of Section III C below.
C. Purchaser shall have the right to have its title examination and Survey updated until the Closing Date (hereinafter defined), and if any such update discloses any new title exceptions or survey matters as to which Purchaser has an objection as a new Title Defect, and (i) which were not listed in the Commitment, as to title matters, (ii) which were not shown on the Survey, as to survey matters, or (iii) were not contemplated in this Agreement as being created as a part of this transaction, or (iv) were not otherwise consented to or caused by Purchaser (any such new matter being referred to as a “new objection”), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a statement of any such new objections and Seller shall have until the Closing Date to cure all such new objections. In the event that Seller fails to cure such new objections on or before the Closing Date (i) Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given on or before the Closing Date, whereupon Purchaser shall receive a full refund of so much of the Deposit held by Escrow Agent, and thereafter this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other by reason hereof except for the Inspection Indemnity, or (ii) Purchaser may cure such new objections created by Seller and deduct the reasonable cost thereof from the Purchase Price otherwise payable by Purchaser at Closing, or (iii) waive such objections and consummate the transaction contemplated herein without reduction of the Purchase Price.

ARTICLE IX — CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
Purchaser shall not be required to purchase the Property unless the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:
A. On or before the date which is seventy-five (75) days after the Effective Date (the “Inspection Period”), Purchaser may, but shall have no obligation to, obtain soil borings, engineering reports, topographical surveys, and evidence of availability of water, telephone, natural gas, and electrical utilities all in sufficient capacities to as to permit the development of the Property for Purchaser’s Intended Use, and confirmation from Purchaser’s engineers that the topography, soil and subsurface conditions of the Property are suitable for Purchaser’s Intended Use without Purchaser’s incurring site work costs which are, in Purchaser’s estimation, unreasonably high. Seller shall permit Purchaser to make the foregoing investigations. Subsequent to such inspection, Purchaser shall determine on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, in its sole discretion, whether or not the condition of the Property is satisfactory. If Purchaser determines the Property is satisfactory, Purchaser shall, on or before the end of the Inspection Period so notify Seller and Escrow Agent by sending a notice to proceed (the “Notice to Proceed”) stating that the condition precedent set forth in this Section IX A has been satisfied and contemporaneously with the transmittal of the Notice to Proceed, Purchaser shall pay the Subsequent Deposit to Escrow Agent. If Purchaser, in its sole discretion, does not send the Notice to Proceed on or before the end of the Inspection Period, the condition precedent set forth in this Section IX A shall have failed and Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser (less $100.00 which shall be paid to Seller in consideration of Seller’s having held the Property off the market) and thereafter this Agreement shall terminate and be null and void and of no further force and effect, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other by reason hereof except for the Inspection Indemnity.
-10-
B. After the Effective Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Land Use Approvals in a manner sufficient to allow Purchaser’s Intended Use of the Property; provided, however, in no event shall Seller be required to (i) expend funds and/or incur expenses or obligations in excess of the aggregate amount of Two Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($235,000.00) in pursuing the Land Use Approvals (the “Seller Cap”) or (ii) file an appeal, challenge a denial, or re-file a revised application in the event of a denial or an approval with unacceptable conditions as set forth below. Seller shall file for the NOPC and Rezoning within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date. In the event that Seller has not obtained the Land Use Approvals on or before the day which is two hundred ten (210) days after the Effective Date, the condition precedent set forth in this Section IX B shall have failed and Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser (less $100.00 which shall be paid to Seller in consideration of Seller’s having held the Property off the market) and thereafter this Agreement shall terminate and be null and void and of no further force and effect, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other by reason hereof except for the Inspection Indemnity. In the event that (i) Seller is denied all or any of the Land Use Approvals, or (ii) the appropriate governmental or quasi-governmental entity imposes conditions in order to issue such approvals which (x) require Seller to incur additional expense that would cause Seller to exceed the Seller Cap when such expenses are aggregated with expenses that Seller has incurred and reasonably would incur to finalize the Land Use Approvals, or (y) are otherwise unacceptable to Seller in its commercially reasonable discretion, Seller may elect to abandon the applications for such Land Use Approvals and terminate this Agreement, upon which termination the condition precedent set forth in this Section IX B shall have failed and Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser (less $100.00 which shall be paid to Seller in consideration of Seller’s having held the Property off the market) and thereafter this Agreement shall terminate and be null and void and of no further force and effect, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other by reason hereof except for the Inspection Indemnity. In the event that Seller elects to terminate this Agreement due to the fact that Seller is likely to exceed the Seller Cap, within five (5) business days of receipt of such notice, Purchaser may elect in writing to pay all amounts incurred by Seller in excess of the Seller Cap; and, upon Seller’s receipt of such notice and a mutually acceptable agreement for Purchaser to fund such excess costs, the Agreement will automatically be reinstated, and Seller will continue its pursuit of the Land Use Approvals subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the timing requirements set forth above.
C. All of Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct on the Closing Date and Seller shall have performed all of its covenants specified in this Agreement through the Closing Date and shall have executed and delivered all documents and instruments required of Seller.
-11-
D. On the Closing Date, the Title Company shall issue to Purchaser an owner’s title insurance policy, or a “marked-up” Title Commitment obligating the Title Company to so issue an owner’s title insurance policy to Purchaser, insuring fee simple title to the Land in Purchaser’s subject only to the title and survey exceptions approved by Purchaser in accordance with Article III hereof.
E. After Seller and Purchaser have agreed to the Preliminary Plans and Seller has obtained the Land Use Approvals, Purchaser shall be responsible, at its expense, to promptly submit the Preliminary Plans for approval by the Hillsborough County, Florida (“Site Plan Approval”). Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in the process of attempting to obtain Site Plan Approval, and Seller, as the owner of the Property shall sign any documents reasonably required in connection with attempting to obtain Site Plan Approval. Purchaser agrees to use its good faith commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to obtain Site Plan Approval. Purchaser will be responsible for and will engage the legal and design professionals to develop the Preliminary Plans and to process Site Plan Approval. In the event that Hillsborough County requires changes to the Preliminary Plans which Purchaser and Seller had agreed to, Seller and Purchaser shall have the right to approve any such changes; provided that Seller and Purchaser agree to continue using their good faith commercially reasonable efforts to address the concerns and requirements raised by Hillsborough County in attempt to accommodate such concerns and requirements so as to achieve Site Plan Approval; provided further, however, the parties agree that Seller will be acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner if Seller withholds its consent based on failure of the Site Plan Approval to conform with the existing design standards of Crosstown Center.
In the event that any of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections IX C, D or E are not satisfied as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right to notify Seller and the Escrow Agent that one or more of such conditions precedent shall have failed and Escrow Agent shall return so much of the Deposit as is then held by Escrow Agent to Purchaser (less $100.00 which shall be paid to Seller in consideration of Seller’s having held the Property off the market) and thereafter this Agreement shall terminate and be null and void and of no further force or effect, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other by reason hereof except for the Inspection Indemnity.
ARTICLE X — EMINENT DOMAIN
A. If, prior to the Closing Date, there shall be any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings instituted or pending against any part of the Land that materially and adversely affects Purchaser’s Intended Use of the Property, in Purchaser’s commercially reasonable discretion, then Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller and Escrow Agent within ten (10) days after Purchaser has received notice from Seller of such proceedings, which notice Seller agrees to give to Purchaser promptly upon receiving such information. Upon such notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, so much of the Deposit as is then held by the Escrow Agent shall be returned by Escrow Agent to Purchaser, and upon such return, this Agreement shall terminate and be null and void and of no further force or effect, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other by reason hereof except for the Inspection Indemnity. Failure of Purchaser to so notify Seller and Escrow Agent within said ten (10) days that Purchaser has elected to terminate this Agreement, shall be deemed to mean that Purchaser has elected not to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser does not so elect to terminate this Agreement, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein without abatement of the Purchase Price, and there shall be paid or assigned to Purchaser at Closing all interest of Seller in and to any condemnation awards which have been or may be payable to Seller on account of such occurrence.
-12-
B. If, prior to the Closing Date, there is any material casualty damage to the Land, whether or not insured against by Seller, Seller shall promptly give Purchaser notice of such fact, and Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller and Escrow Agent within ten (10) days after Purchaser has received notice from Seller of such casualty damage, which notice Seller agrees to give to Purchaser promptly after such material casualty damage has occurred. Upon such notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, so much of the Deposit as is then held by the Escrow Agent shall be returned by Escrow Agent to Purchaser, and upon such return, this Agreement shall terminate and be null and void and of no further force or effect, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other by reason hereof except for the Inspection Indemnity. Failure of Purchaser to so notify Seller and Escrow Agent within said ten (10) days that Purchaser has elected to terminate this Agreement, shall be deemed to mean that Purchaser has elected not to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser does not so elect to terminate this Agreement, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein without abatement of the Purchase Price.
ARTICLE XI — LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
A. Seller’s only remedy for Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement shall be to obtain the Deposit from the Escrow Agent, the amount of which shall be and constitute Seller’s liquidated damages, it being otherwise difficult or impossible to estimate Seller’s actual damages. Seller hereby waives any right to specific performance, injunctive relief or other relief to cause Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and Seller hereby waives any right to damages in excess of said liquidated damages occasioned by Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that it is impossible to estimate or determine the actual damages Seller would suffer because of Purchaser’s breach hereof, but that the liquidated damages provided herein represent a reasonable estimate of such actual damages and Seller and Purchaser therefore intend to provide for liquidated damages as herein provided, and that the agreed upon liquidated damages are not punitive or a penalty and are just, fair and reasonable. Seller’s right to receive the specified liquidated damages is in lieu of any other right or remedy, all other rights and remedies being waived by Seller. Nothing contained in this Section XI A shall affect or limit the Inspection Indemnity.

G. No failure of any party to exercise any power given such party hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance by any other party to its obligations hereunder, and no custom or practice of the parties in variance with the terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of any party’s right to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof.
-23-
H. Purchaser and Seller both reserve the right to waive, in whole or in part, any condition or contingency herein which is for such respective party’s benefit.
I. The provisions of this Agreement shall extend to, bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, assigns and the legal representatives of their estates.

Seller and Purchaser each shall have the right to consummate the transaction contemplated in this Agreement as part of an exchange of like-kind property pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Regulations promulgated thereunder.

In addition to the requirements established by the Declaration, Seller shall have the right to review and approve the exterior architectural elevations, conceptual site plan and exterior building materials used in the construction of improvements on the Property. In addition to requirements set forth in the Declaration, if any, Purchaser shall submit preliminary conceptual site plan, exterior architectural elevations and exterior building materials (the “Preliminary Plans”) to the DRC and Seller during the Inspection Period in order to confirm that Purchaser’s proposed development will be acceptable. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Seller provided that the Preliminary Plans are compatible with the quality and design of Crosstown Center. Seller shall review and respond to Purchaser’s Preliminary Plans within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof. If the Seller timely notifies Purchaser of its comments, clarifications or rejection of the Preliminary Plans, it being agreed that the failure of or Seller to timely notify Purchaser of any comments shall be deemed approval, then the Inspection Period shall be extended for up to thirty (30) days to allow Purchaser time to submit revised Preliminary Plans for approval by the DRC and Seller, and to allow time for the DRC and Seller to review and approve the revised Preliminary Plans. Seller and Purchaser agree to use their good faith commercially reasonable efforts to work together to agree upon satisfactory Preliminary Plans.

L. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller is selling the Property to Purchaser in anticipation that Purchaser will develop the Property for the Intended Use. If, within twenty-four months (24) from the date of the closing (the “Construction Commencement Date”), the Purchaser has not closed on a construction loan and obtained commitments for all required equity for the construction of improvements on the Property for the Intended Use, then Seller shall have the right to repurchase the Property as described herein. Seller shall have the right to exercise this repurchase option at any time after the Construction Commencement Date and continuing until Purchaser has actually commenced construction of improvements on the Property. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written request from Seller, Purchaser shall execute and deliver to Seller a special warranty deed which reconveys the Property to Seller, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than those in existence at the time of the Closing.

The Construction Commencement Date shall be extended for the period of delay in Purchaser’s commencement of construction that is caused by catastrophe, strikes, civil commotion, acts of God, or delays attributable to the permitting and approval processes with local governments and agencies that are beyond Purchasers’ reasonable control, but such extension shall be no longer than six (6) months. The Construction Commencement Date shall also be extended for the period of delay in Purchaser’s commencement of construction caused by the general unavailability in the marketplace of materials, such as concrete or steel, comprising a major component of Purchaser’s improvements provided that Purchaser is otherwise diligently pursuing construction of improvements on the Property.
M. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that post-Closing the existing dirt piles and mounds must be removed from the Property to the extent that the existing dirt located on the Property will not be made available to Purchaser to achieve a balanced graded site for Purchaser’s Intended Use of the Property. During the Inspection Period, Seller and Purchaser will use their good faith commercially reasonable efforts to determine (i) the amount of existing dirt which may be used by Purchaser to balance the site, (ii) the amount of existing dirt which must be removed from the Property (the “Surplus Dirt”) and (iii) the cost of the removal thereof (the “Dirt Removal Cost”). During the Inspection Period the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the mechanism to remove any Surplus Dirt and an allocation between the parties of the Dirt Removal Cost. If the parties fail to reach agreement as to any of the above decisions prior to expiration of the Inspection Period, either party, as its sole and exclusive remedy for such failure, may elect to terminate this Agreement, in which case, the Escrow Agent shall pay the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser, and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination.
