Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,

(1)    in the event any Holdover Tenant remains on the Property on the date established as the Closing Date (as may be extended pursuant to Section X A), Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may elect to (i) proceed with the Closing but require Escrow Agent to withhold $100,000 of the Purchase Price to be applied after the Closing by written agreement of Purchaser and Seller as necessary to remove any Holdover Tenant from the Property, with the balance, if any, to be paid by Escrow Agent to Seller at such time as all Holdover Tenants have vacated the Property; or (ii) extend the Closing for up to one hundred twenty (120) days (the “Initial Holdover Period”) (the Initial Holdover Period being in addition to Purchaser’s sixty-day extension right, if applicable) or, if sooner, the first business day which is at least thirty (30) days after Seller notifies Purchaser that the condition set forth in this Section X E has been satisfied;

(2)    in the event Purchaser elects to exercise the option provided in item (ii) of subsection (1) above, and any Holdover Tenants remain on the Property at the end of the Initial Holdover Period, Purchaser, in its sole discretion, shall have a right to elect to (i) terminate this Agreement and receive a prompt refund of so much of the Deposit as is then held by Escrow Agent, after which 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; (ii) proceed with the Closing but require Escrow Agent to withhold $100,000 of the Purchase Price to be applied after the Closing by written agreement of Purchaser and Seller as necessary to remove any Holdover Tenant from the Property, with the balance, if any, to be paid by

 

14


Escrow Agent to Seller at such time as all Holdover Tenants have vacated the Property; or (iii) extend the Closing for up to an additional one hundred twenty (120) days (the “Second Holdover Period”) or, if sooner, no later than the first business day which is at least thirty (30) days after Seller notifies Purchaser that the condition set forth in this Section X E has been satisfied; and

(3)    In the event Purchaser elects to exercise the option provided in item (iii) of subsection (2) above, and any Holdover Tenants remain on the Property at the end of the Second Holdover Period, Purchaser, in its sole discretion, shall have a right to elect to (i) terminate this Agreement and receive a prompt refund of so much of the Deposit as is then held by Escrow Agent, after which 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; or (ii) proceed with the Closing but require Escrow Agent to withhold $100,000 of the Purchase Price to be applied after the Closing by written agreement of Purchaser and Seller as necessary to remove any Holdover Tenant from the Property, with the balance, if any, to be paid by Escrow Agent to Seller at such time as all Holdover Tenants have vacated the Property.

ARTICLE XI -- CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

In addition to the condition precedent set forth in Article IV and Section X E, Purchaser shall not be required to consummate its acquisition of the Property unless the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:

A.    On or before the Hard Date, Purchaser may, but shall have no obligation to, obtain soil borings, engineering reports, geotechnical studies, marketing studies, topographical surveys, environmental tests and studies and evidence of availability of water, telephone, natural gas, and electrical utilities all in sufficient capacities so as to permit the development of the Property for Purchaser’s intended use as a multifamily residential development with a minimum of two hundred eighty (280) Units (the “Intended Use”) without the imposition of impact fees, cash proffers or unacceptable conditions as determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion. Seller shall permit Purchaser to make the foregoing investigations. Purchaser shall determine on or before the Hard Date, 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 Hard Date notify Seller and Escrow Agent that the Property is satisfactory and this condition precedent has been satisfied (which notice is herein referred to as “Notice to Proceed”), and Purchaser shall pay the Second Deposit to Escrow Agent in accordance with Section II A(ii). If Purchaser, in its sole discretion, does not send the Notice to Proceed on or before the Hard Date, or if Purchaser sends a notice to Seller and the Escrow Agent on or before the Hard Date that Purchaser will not be sending the Notice to Proceed and is terminating this Agreement, this condition precedent shall have failed and Escrow Agent shall return the Initial Deposit to Purchaser 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 those matters that specifically survive such termination. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, upon delivery by Purchaser to Seller of the

 

15


Notice to Proceed, the Deposit shall be deemed non-refundable to Purchaser for any reason except for the following: (i) Seller’s termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article I (unless Purchaser has vitiated such termination as provided in Article I); (ii) Purchaser’s termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IV; (iii) Purchaser’s termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section X E; (iv) any of the conditions set forth in Section XI B, XI C or XI D hereof has neither been satisfied by Seller nor waived by Purchaser as provided therein; (v) Purchaser’s termination of this Agreement in connection with a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding pursuant to Section XII; and (vi) Seller’s default as contemplated by Section XIII B.

B.    It shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close and consummate the transaction contemplated herein that the Property is rezoned from its current zoning classification to a zoning classification that will permit the development of the Property for the Intended Use (the “Final Rezoning”). Promptly after the Hard Date (or such earlier date as may be determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion), Purchaser shall make application for the Final Rezoning. The zoning applications, related filings and all amendments thereof, and all agreements and waivers relating thereto, shall be subject to Seller’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Purchaser agrees to pursue the zoning application with due diligence and in good faith. All costs associated with the zoning application shall be paid by Purchaser. Seller shall fully cooperate in Purchaser’s rezoning efforts, and shall, upon Purchaser’s request, sign any documents reasonably required in connection therewith, subject to Seller’s written approval thereof as hereinabove provided. The rezoning of the Property shall become “Final Rezoning”, as the term “Final Rezoning” is used herein, on the date that such rezoning has been granted by the appropriate officials of Roswell, Georgia, pursuant to the application filed by Purchaser, and any and all appeal periods as provided by law have expired without an appeal or suit having been filed, or, if filed, with such suit or appeal dismissed or resolved finally and conclusively in favor of such rezoning, and, at the expiration of such appeal periods, or at the conclusion of such appeal or suit, the rezoning of the Property shall not have been further changed or withdrawn by the appropriate officials of Roswell, Georgia. In the event that: (i) Purchaser’s rezoning has been denied; (ii) Purchaser’s rezoning has been approved but at a density of fewer than two hundred eighty (280) Units on the Property; or (iii) Purchaser’s rezoning has neither been denied nor become “Final Rezoning” within two hundred ten (210) days after the Hard Date, then Purchaser shall, by written notice delivered to Seller and Escrow Agent no later than ten (10) days after the earlier of the date of such denial or approval or that date which is two hundred ten (210) days after the Hard Date, elect to either (i) terminate this Agreement and receive a prompt refund of so much of the Deposit as is then held by Escrow Agent, after which 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 those matters that specifically survive such termination, or (ii) waive the provisions of this Section XI B and accept the Property without “Final Rezoning”, whereupon the parties shall proceed to close the purchase and sale of the Property as contemplated herein. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, upon obtaining Final Rezoning by Purchaser, the Deposit shall be deemed non-refundable to Purchaser for any reason except for the following: (i) Seller’s termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article I (unless Purchaser has vitiated such termination as provided in Article I); (ii) Purchaser’s termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IV; (iii) Purchaser’s termination of this

 

16


Agreement pursuant to Section X E; (iv) either of the conditions set forth in Section XI C or XI E hereof has neither been satisfied by Seller nor waived by Purchaser as provided therein; (v) Purchaser’s termination of this Agreement in connection with a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding pursuant to Section XII; and (vi) Seller’s default as contemplated by Section XIII B.

C.    It shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close and consummate the transaction contemplated herein that Purchaser shall have obtained all required permits and approvals necessary in order for Purchaser to develop the Property for the Intended Use, including, without limitation, a land disturbance permit and a building permit for development of the Property for the Intended Use (each, a “Required Approval” and collectively, “Required Approvals”). A Required Approval shall be deemed received on the date that such Required Approval has been granted or issued by the appropriate officials of the applicable governmental agency or authority, and any and all appeal periods as provided by law have expired without an appeal or suit with respect to the Required Approval having been filed, or, if filed, with such suit or appeal dismissed or resolved finally and conclusively in favor of the Required Approval, and, at the expiration of such appeal periods, or at the conclusion of such appeal or suit, the Required Approval shall not have been further changed or withdrawn by the appropriate officials. Purchaser agrees to make application for all Required Approvals promptly following receipt of Final Rezoning and to pursue all Required Approvals with due diligence and in good faith. If all Required Approvals have not been obtained within one hundred eighty (180) days after Final Rezoning (or waiver thereof as provided in Section XI B), Purchaser shall have the right (i) to notify Seller and Escrow Agent that the condition precedent set forth in this Section XI C has failed and Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser, 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 those matters that specifically survive such termination; or (ii) to waive the condition precedent set forth in this Section XI C. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, upon obtaining all Required Approvals by Purchaser, the Deposit shall be deemed non-refundable to Purchaser for any reason except for the following: (i) Seller’s termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article I (unless Purchaser has vitiated such termination as provided in Article I); (ii) Purchaser’s termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IV; (iii) Purchaser’s termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section X E; (iv) any of the conditions set forth in Section XI D hereof has neither been satisfied by Seller nor waived by Purchaser as provided therein; (v) Purchaser’s termination of this Agreement in connection with a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding pursuant to Section XII; and (vi) Seller’s default as contemplated by Section XIII B.

D.    In addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV, Section X E, and Sections XI A, XI B, and XI C, Purchaser’s obligation to close and consummate the transaction contemplated herein is subject to satisfaction of all of the following conditions precedent:

(a)    All representations and warranties of Seller contained herein are true and correct as of the Effective Date and on the Closing Date;

 

17


(b)    Seller shall have performed and complied with all agreements, obligations and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it on or prior to the Closing Date;

(c)    There shall be no litigation or administrative action or other governmental proceeding of any kind whatsoever pending, or threatened in writing, which seeks to restrain or prohibit or obtain damages or a discovery order with respect to, this Agreement or the purchase and sale of the Property, or which after the Closing Date would or reasonably could materially adversely affect the Property or the ability of Purchaser to develop the Property for the Intended Use, and no proceedings shall be pending, or threatened in writing, which could or would cause the redesignation or other modification of the zoning classification of, or any development or building code requirements applicable to, the Property and the Intended Use, which after the Closing Date would materially adversely affect the Property or the ability of Purchaser to develop the Property for the Intended Use; and

(d)    Seller’s delivery of title to and possession of the Property to Purchaser at the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

In the event any of the conditions precedent set forth in this Section XI D are not satisfied by Closing, Purchaser may elect to (i) terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Deposit from 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 those matters that specifically survive such termination; or (ii) waive such conditions precedent and consummate the transaction contemplated herein without reduction of the Purchase Price.

ARTICLE XII -- EMINENT DOMAIN

If, prior to the Closing Date, there shall be any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings instituted or pending, or threatened in writing, against any part of the Property (other than a proceeding contemplated as part of the Final Rezoning), then Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller and the 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 by Purchaser to Seller and the Escrow Agent, so much of the Deposit as is then being held by the Escrow Agent shall be returned by the 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 the 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.

 

18


ARTICLE XIII -- REMEDIES

A.    Seller’s only remedy for Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement shall be to obtain so much of the Deposit as is then required to be tendered by Purchaser to 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 penalties 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 XIII A shall limit the Inspection Indemnity.

B.    Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, if Seller defaults under this Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its only remedies hereunder, to either: (i) close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, thereby waiving such default, or (ii) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of so much of the Deposit as is then held by Escrow Agent, or (iii) seek specific performance of this Agreement and of Seller’s obligations, duties and covenants hereunder; provided, however, if the remedy of specific performance is not available because Seller has sold or encumbered the Property after the Effective Date, then Purchaser shall have the right to sue Seller for the damages suffered because of Seller’s default. Failure of Purchaser to obtain Final Rezoning or Final Approvals shall not be deemed to constitute an event of default on the part of Seller.

ARTICLE XIV -- ACCESS

Purchaser and its agents and representatives shall have the right to enter upon the Property at any reasonable time prior to the Closing Date for any lawful purpose including, without limitation, verifications of information, investigations, tests and studies, provided that Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts during any such entry to minimize interference with the management and operation of the Property by Seller, and provided further, Purchaser and its agents and representatives shall not enter any occupied apartment without providing twenty-four (24) hours written notice to Seller identifying such apartment and specifying a time for entry therein between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., and without being accompanied by an agent of Seller. During such period Seller shall furnish to Purchaser all non-proprietary information in Seller’s possession concerning the Property that Purchaser may reasonably request. In the event that Purchaser does not consummate the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, Purchaser shall restore any damage or destruction caused to the

 

19


Property by Purchaser. Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any damage to persons or property, whether actual or alleged, occasioned by Purchaser’s and its agent’s and representative’s actions on the Property pursuant to this Article XIV. The indemnity set forth in this Article XIV is herein referred to as the “Inspection Indemnity” which shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XV -- BROKERS

Purchaser and Seller hereby represent to each other that no real estate broker or agent was involved in negotiating the transaction contemplated herein. In the event any claim(s) for real estate commissions, fees or compensation arise in connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated herein, Purchaser and Seller further covenant and agree that the party so incurring or causing such claim(s) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party from any loss, claim or damage which the other party suffers because of said claim(s). The provisions of this Article XV shall survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XVI -- NOTICES

All notices, demands, consents, approvals and other communications which are required or desired to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in writing and shall be either hand-delivered or sent by FedEx or other similar overnight delivery service, charges prepaid, addressed to the appropriate party at its address set forth below, or at such other address as such party shall have last designated by notice to the other. Notices, demands, consents, approvals, and other communications shall be deemed given when hand-delivered or when delivered to FedEx or similar overnight courier service and shall be effective if executed and sent by the parties’ counsel.

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.

H.    Purchaser reserves the right to waive, in whole or in part, any condition or contingency herein which is for the Purchaser’s benefit.

THIS THIRD AMENDMENT TO SALES CONTRACT (the “Amendment”) is made, entered into, and effective as of the 10th day of May, 2013, by and between ROSWELL COMMONS GROUP, L.P., a Georgia limited partnership (“Seller”), and LENNAR MULTIFAMILY INVESTORS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser are parties to that certain Sales Contract dated January 10, 2013 with respect to the sale by Seller to Purchaser of property located in Fulton County, Georgia, which was amended by that certain First Amendment to Sales Contract dated February 22, 2013 and that certain Second Amendment to Sales Contract dated April 4, 2013 (as amended, hereinafter referred to as the “Sales Contract”); and

WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser are mutually desirous of entering into this Amendment to further amend certain terms and provisions of the Sales Contract, only as specifically hereinafter set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00), in hand paid by Purchaser to Seller, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Purchaser and Seller prior to the execution, sealing and delivery of this Amendment, Purchaser and Seller, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1.      The foregoing recital of facts is hereby incorporated herein to the same extent as if hereinafter fully set forth. Capitalized words and phrases used herein which are not defined herein but which are defined in the Sales Contract shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Sales Contract.

2.      Section XI A of the Sales Contract provides that Purchaser shall have the right to terminate the Sales Contract not later than May 10, 2013 (the Original Hard Date”) if Purchaser is unsatisfied with the Property. Purchaser and Seller desire to provide for a limited extension of the Original Hard Date to permit Purchaser an additional thirty (30) days solely for the purpose of allowing Purchaser to determine whether (i) Purchaser is satisfied with respect to the right of the Property to drain storm water and run sanity sewer across, under and through other properties to the east and (ii) the Georgia Environmental Protection Division will require Purchaser to conduct post construction environmental testing of improvements constructed on the Property by Purchaser, or further amendments to the Brownfields Corrective Action Plan for the Property (collectively, the “Limited Due Diligence Items”). Therefore, the Original Hard Date of May 10, 2013 shall remain in effect as to all matters other than the Limited Due Diligence Items, and Purchaser shall continue to have the right to terminate the Sales Contract not later than June 10, 2013 solely with respect to the Limited Due Diligence Items in accordance with the terms of Section XI A of the Sales Contract.


3.      With respect to Section XI B of the Sales Contract, Purchaser acknowledges that Final Rezoning, if approved, will be conditioned upon the recordation of a “Combination Plat” of the Property that has been approved by the appropriate officials of the City of Roswell, Georgia. Accordingly, notwithstanding the satisfaction of the condition precedent set forth in Section XI B (if satisfied), Seller covenants and agrees to fully and timely cooperate in Purchaser’s efforts to obtain approval of its “Combination Plat”, including, upon Purchaser’s request, signing any documents in connection therewith, subject to Seller’s written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

4.      This Amendment relates only to the specific matters covered herein and shall not constitute a consent to or waiver or modification of any other provision, term or condition of the Sales Contract. All terms, provisions, covenants, representations, warranties, agreements and conditions contained in the Sales Contract are ratified and affirmed and shall remain in full force and effect, except as expressly amended by this Amendment.

5.      This Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

6.      This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

7.      This Amendment shall be deemed to be a contract made under, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Georgia.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment effective as of the date first set forth above.

SEVENTH AMENDMENT TO SALES CONTRACT

THIS SEVENTH AMENDMENT TO SALES CONTRACT (the “Amendment”) is made, entered into, and effective as of the 30th day of August, 2013, by and between ROSWELL COMMONS GROUP, L.P., a Georgia limited partnership (“Seller”), and LENNAR MULTIFAMILY INVESTORS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser are parties to that certain Sales Contract (as amended, hereinafter referred to as the “Sales Contract”) dated as of January 10, 2013 with respect to the sale by Seller to Purchaser of property located in Fulton County, Georgia, which was amended by that certain First Amendment to Sales Contract dated as of February 22, 2013, that certain Second Amendment to Sales Contract dated as of April 4, 2013, that certain Third Amendment to Sales Contract dated as of May 10, 2013 (the “Third Amendment”), that certain Fourth Amendment to Sales Contract dated as of June 4, 2013 (the “Fourth Amendment”), that certain Fifth Amendment to Sales Contract dated as of June 24, 2013 (the “Fifth Amendment”), and that certain Sixth Amendment to Sales Contract dated as of July 22, 2013 (the “Sixth Amendment”); and

WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser are mutually desirous of entering into this Amendment to further amend certain terms and provisions of the Sales Contract, only as specifically hereinafter set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00), in hand paid by Purchaser to Seller, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Purchaser and Seller prior to the execution, sealing and delivery of this Amendment, Purchaser and Seller, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1.      The foregoing recital of facts is hereby incorporated herein to the same extent as if hereinafter fully set forth. Capitalized words and phrases used herein which are not defined herein but which are defined in the Sales Contract shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Sales Contract.

2.      Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, Section XI A of the Sales Contract provides that Purchaser has the right to terminate the Sales Contract no later than August 30, 2013 solely with respect to the Limited Due Diligence Items specified in Section 2 of the Third Amendment (as amended by the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment and the Sixth Amendment) and which are specified in paragraph 3 of the Sixth Amendment, such Limited Due Diligence Items consisting of Purchaser’s being satisfied with respect to the right of the Property to drain storm water and run sanitary sewer across, under and through other properties to the east.


3.      As of the execution of this Amendment, Purchaser has satisfied itself with respect to sanitary sewer. However, Purchaser’s issue respecting storm water drainage has not been fully and completely resolved. Therefore, and as an inducement for Purchaser to give the Notice to Proceed which Purchaser and Seller agree shall be given by Purchaser and effective upon execution of this Amendment by Seller and Purchaser, Seller has agreed to make the accommodations respecting Purchaser’s concern regarding storm water drainage as hereinafter set forth in this Amendment.

Purchaser has obtained a Title Commitment committing to insure Purchaser’s right to drain storm water from the Land over, across, under and through properties to the east to Hog Waller Creek, but the Title Commitment regarding this issue provides that it will not insure Purchaser at Closing in the event that prior to Closing an objection has been raised by an adjoining property owner to the east (or the condominium or homeowners’ association for any such property) as to the right of the Land to drain storm water over that property (an “Objection”). Therefore, Seller and Purchaser agree that if the Closing occurs and the Title Company provides the coverage respecting storm water drainage as provided in the Title Commitment, Seller’s obligation with respect to such issue shall be terminated. However, in the event that the Closing occurs and the Title Company refuses to provide such title insurance coverage due to an Objection having been raised, then at the Closing, Seller will escrow with the Title Company the amount of $100,000.00 from the Purchase Price being paid to Seller by Purchaser at Closing, Seller’s obligation with respect to storm water drainage from the Land shall be terminated, and the following will be applicable:

 

  (a)

in the event that Purchaser is successful in obtaining within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date an easement from all of the property owners (or the condominium or homeowners’ association respecting such property) allowing storm water to drain from the Land to Hog Waller Creek (an “Easement”), the $100,000.00 shall be refunded by the Title Company to Seller;

 

  (b)

in the event the Easement is not obtained within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, the $100,000.00 will be paid by the Title Company to Purchaser; and

 

  (c)

in the event that after the $100,000.00 is paid to Purchaser and prior to Purchaser’s having relocated the storm drainage from the Land through or along Norcross Street to Hog Waller Creek, the Easement is obtained, Purchaser shall refund the $100,000.00 to Seller.

4.      This Amendment relates only to the specific matters covered herein and shall not constitute a consent to or waiver or modification of any other provision, term or condition of the Sales Contract. All terms, provisions, covenants, representations, warranties, agreements and conditions contained in the Sales Contract are ratified and affirmed and shall remain in full force and effect, except as expressly amended by this Amendment.

5.      This Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

6.      This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

7.      This Amendment shall be deemed to be a contract made under, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Georgia.
