AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE

AND SALE OF REAL PROPERTY

THIS AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF REAL PROPERTY (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined), by and between REDUS SC LAND, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), and WOODFIELD Investments, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (the “Purchaser”).

WHEREAS, Seller is the owner of certain real property in the County of Charleston (“County”), State of South Carolina as more particularly described on Exhibit “A”, attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Property”); and

WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell and Purchaser wishes to purchase the Property pursuant to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, for Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) in hand paid and in consideration of the mutual promises of the parties as set forth herein, Seller does hereby agree to sell to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees to purchase from Seller in fee simple the Property pursuant to the following covenants, conditions, terms and obligations:

1. FEASIBILITY PERIOD. Purchaser shall have a sixty (60) day feasibility period, commencing upon the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined) (the “Feasibility Period”), to undertake at Purchaser’s sole expense such engineering, development, marketing and other studies as Purchaser may desire. If Purchaser is not satisfied with the Property or the transaction evidenced by this Agreement for any reason or no reason at all, Purchaser may as a matter of right, terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller at any time prior to the end of the Feasibility Period, in which case the Deposit (as hereinafter defined) shall be returned to Purchaser within five (5) days of such termination (less $100.00 paid to Seller as consideration for entering into this Agreement), and thereafter the parties shall be relieved of further liability from performing hereunder, with the exception of Purchaser’s obligations to Seller that survive any termination of this Agreement. If such notice is not given prior to the end of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser’s right to terminate pursuant to this Paragraph 1 shall expire at the end of the Feasibility Period. Time is of the essence with respect to the giving of any such notice by Purchaser. All engineering, development, marketing and other inspections, tests and examinations shall be conducted by parties qualified and, where applicable, licensed to conduct such inspections, tests and/or examinations. Purchaser shall pay the costs of all tests, inspections, examinations, investigations, and reviews conducted pursuant to this Agreement. After the performance of any tests, inspections, examinations, investigations and reviews, Purchaser shall promptly repair any damage to the Property to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the conduct of said tests, inspections, examinations, investigations and reviews, and this obligation of Purchaser shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Prior to undertaking any activity or exercising any rights granted in this Agreement, Purchaser shall obtain, and subsequently maintain in full force and effect throughout the duration of this Agreement, commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00). Such policy or policies shall name Seller as an additional insured, and shall cover damage to property and persons

resulting from or connected with any activity of Purchaser as contemplated under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any and all liability, loss or damage, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and related costs and expenses arising out of, or resulting from, any and all engineering, development, marketing and other studies that may be conducted by Purchaser, including, without limitation, physical damage to the Property (and any adjoining property) and claims of mechanics and materialmen arising out of such activities. Furthermore, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be permitted to perform a Phase II environmental audit and inspection of the Property or any other form of invasive property testing without Seller’s prior written approval, which may be withheld for any reason or no reason. Purchaser’s obligations to Seller under this Paragraph 1 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

In the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason prior to Closing, Purchaser agrees that it shall promptly provide to Seller copies of the results of any testing and other due diligence activity conducted by Purchaser (or its contractors, agents, and representatives) concerning the Property. Furthermore, any material issues related to the Property and Zoning Change (as hereinafter defined) that are known or became known to Purchaser during the term of this Agreement, including copies of any applicable documents, shall also be provided by Purchaser to Seller. Purchaser’s obligations to Seller under this Paragraph 1 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

2. DUE DILIGENCE MATERIALS. In order to assist Purchaser in the completion of Purchaser’s inspections, testing, examinations, and studies during the Feasibility Period, the parties acknowledge and agree that Seller has delivered and Purchaser has received copies of the those items listed on Exhibit “B”, attached hereto, at or prior to the Effective Date (“Seller’s Materials”).

The furnishing of Seller’s Materials is without representation or warranty by Seller as to the accuracy thereof, or as to the right of Purchaser to rely on Seller’s Materials, all of which were prepared by third parties.

The economic terms relating to the transaction evidenced by this Agreement, as well as all information provided by Seller to Purchaser or obtained by Purchaser relating to the Property in the course of its review, including, without limitation, all information provided by Seller pursuant to this Paragraph 2, shall be treated as confidential information by Purchaser and Purchaser shall instruct all of its employees, agents, representatives and contractors as to the confidentiality of all such information; provided, however, that no information which is public record shall be considered confidential. Purchaser shall be liable for all costs and expenses, and/or damage or injury to any person or property resulting from any failure to keep all such information confidential, whether occasioned by the acts of Purchaser or any of its employees, agents, contractors, or representatives, and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller from any liability, claims or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting therefrom. Furthermore, Seller shall have the right to seek any and all injunctive remedies for any breach, perceived breach, or threatened breach of the obligations of Purchaser or any of its employees, agents, contractors, or representatives set forth in this Paragraph 2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the obligations of

5(b) Seller is not in default of this Agreement.

5(c) The representations and warranties by Seller contained in this Agreement must be true.

Purchaser represents and warrants that: (i) it is not on an SDN List (defined below), nor is it directly or indirectly owned or controlled by an SDN (defined below); and (ii) the purchase and sale of the Property, and the consummation of any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, will not violate any country sanctions program administered and enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. For the purposes hereof, an “SDN List” is defined as one of the lists published by OFAC of individuals and companies owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, OFAC targeted countries, as well as individuals, groups, and entities, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers, designated under OFAC programs that are not country-specific, and an “SDN” is one of the individuals or companies listed on an SDN List.

15. LIKE-KIND EXCHANGE. Seller understands and acknowledges that a material inducement to Purchaser’s entry into this Agreement is the right of Purchaser to structure the transaction contemplated by this Agreement so as to qualify as a tax-free exchange of like-kind property in compliance with the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,

 

12


as amended (“Section 1031”). Seller agrees to cooperate in all reasonable respects to allow Purchaser to structure the transaction contemplated by this Agreement to effect a like-kind exchange in compliance with the provisions of Section 1031 and the Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Regulations”). The agreement of Seller to cooperate in all reasonable respects with Purchaser’s efforts to structure the transaction contemplated by this Agreement as part of a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 and the Regulations shall be subject to the following terms, provisions and conditions: (a) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of any like-kind exchange aspects of the transaction; (b) if Purchaser is unsuccessful in its efforts to structure the transaction contemplated by this Agreement as part of a like-kind exchange, such occurrence shall not be deemed or construed as the failure of a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement; and in such case, the Closing shall proceed as if this paragraph were not included in this Agreement; and (c) in no event shall Seller be obligated to take title to any other Property of any nature or kind or to assume any other liability or exposure to facilitate Purchaser’s like-kind exchange, and in no event shall Purchaser be released from any of its obligations under this Agreement as a result of or in connection with Purchaser’s like-kind exchange. Purchaser shall pay and reimburse Seller for any and all costs and expenses (if any) incurred by Seller as a result of the election by Purchaser to structure the Closing as part of a like-kind exchange (but only to the extent such costs and expenses exceed the costs and expenses that otherwise would have been incurred by Seller hereunder). Furthermore, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all damages, demands, claims, costs, and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or asserted against Seller as a result of the election by Purchaser to structure the Closing as part of a like-kind exchange.

16. ZONING. Commencing upon the Effective Date and ending one hundred twenty (120) days after the Effective Date (the “Zoning Period”), Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that Purchaser shall be permitted, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to seek applicable permits and approvals (including but not limited to subdivision plat approval and zoning change approvals) necessary to convert the Property from PDED approved use to multi-family approved use (the “Zoning Change”). Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently and expeditiously pursue the Zoning Change. Purchaser shall be responsible for all close-out requirements, maintenance bonds, and any other applicable requirements or costs necessary to accomplish the Zoning Change or resulting from the Zoning Change. Purchaser may only proceed with the rezoning of the Property in accordance with the Zoning Change, and may not make any changes to the Zoning Change without the prior written approval and consent of Seller, which may be granted or denied in Seller’s sole discretion. In the event Purchaser rezones the Property (or otherwise affects title of the Property) in substantial conformance with the Zoning Change or otherwise, and subsequently fails to close on the Property in accordance with this Agreement, Purchaser shall be in default under this Agreement. Furthermore, in such an event and in the sole discretion of Seller, Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, promptly correct any such rezoning (or other change to the title of the Property) such that the Property is in the same condition and status as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser agrees that prior to submitting any documentation to any applicable authority related to the Zoning Change or otherwise related to the Property, Purchaser shall first submit any such documentation to Seller for its reasonable review and approval, such review and approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

13


In the event Purchaser has not obtained the Zoning Change prior to the expiration of the original Zoning Period, Purchaser shall have the option to extend the Zoning Period for one (1) thirty (30) day period (the “Zoning Period Extension”) by providing Seller written notice of Purchaser’s choice to exercise its Zoning Period Extension option prior to the expiration of the original Zoning Period. The term “Zoning Period” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the Zoning Period Extension if the same is exercised by Purchaser pursuant to this Paragraph.

In the event that the Zoning Change has not been finalized with the applicable authorities on or prior to the expiration of the Zoning Period, then Purchaser shall have ten (10) days following such expiration to either (i) proceed to Closing notwithstanding the status of the Zoning Change or (ii) immediately terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which case the Deposit (less $50,000.00 which Seller shall be entitled to retain and which shall be expressly non-refundable to Purchaser after the expiration of the Feasibility Period) shall be returned to Purchaser within five (5) days of such termination and thereafter the parties shall be relieved of further liability hereunder with the exception of Purchaser’s obligations to Seller that survive any termination of this Agreement.

Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any and all liability, loss or damage, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and related costs and expenses arising out of, or resulting from, Purchaser’s activities under this Paragraph 16. Purchaser’s obligations to Seller under this Paragraph 16 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Time is of the essence with respect to Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Paragraph 16.

17. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Agreement shall become effective on the date last signed by Purchaser and Seller (“Effective Date”).
