7.1 Condemnation. In the event of any threatened, contemplated, commenced or consummated proceedings in eminent domain prior to the Closing (notice of which shall be given to Purchaser by Seller immediately) respecting any material portion of the Property, Purchaser may, at its option, by notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified of such actual or possible proceedings (but before the Closing): (i) unilaterally terminate this Agreement and all further rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate; or (ii) proceed under this Agreement, in which event Seller shall, at the Closing, assign or cause the owner of the Property to assign to Purchaser its entire right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Purchaser shall have the right during the pendency of this Agreement to assist in the negotiations and otherwise deal with the condemning authority in respect of such matter.

7.2 Casualty Loss. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or part of the Property is damaged by fire or by any other cause whatsoever, Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice of such damage. If the cost of repairing such damage is not in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (as determined by Seller’s independent insurer), then (a) Purchaser shall receive at the Closing, to the extent such sums have not been expended on repair work, the amount of the deductible plus an assignment of all insurance proceeds payable as a result of such loss, (b) this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with no reduction in the Purchase Price, and (c) Seller shall have no obligation to repair such damage. If the cost of repairing damage from such casualty is greater than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (as determined by Seller’s independent insurer), then Purchaser shall have the right, for a period of ten (10) days from the date of notice of the amount of damage caused by the casualty, but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller within such period. Upon such termination, the parties hereto shall be released of any further liability hereunder except as otherwise provided herein. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller within such period of Purchaser’s exercise of its right to terminate this Agreement, then Purchaser shall proceed to Closing and, to the extent such sums have not been expended on repair work, all insurance proceeds received by Seller as a result of such casualty loss plus the amount of the deductible shall be paid to Purchaser at the Closing. If such proceeds have not yet been received by Seller, then Seller’s rights to such proceeds shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing upon payment of the full Purchase Price to Seller by Purchaser less the amount of Seller’s deductible and Seller shall have no obligation to repair such damage.

ARTICLE 8. REMEDIES

8.1 Seller’s Damages. If all of the conditions to Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property have been satisfied or waived or deemed waived by Purchaser and if Purchaser should fail to consummate this transaction for any reason other than Seller’s default, or the exercise by Purchaser of an express right of termination granted herein, or if Purchaser otherwise defaults in any of its obligations hereunder prior to the Closing, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy either (a) to terminate this Agreement and release Purchaser and Seller from any and all liability hereunder, or (b) to enforce specific performance of Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that Seller’s actual damages in the event of a default by Purchaser under this Agreement will be difficult to ascertain, and that such liquidated damages represent the parties’ best estimate of such damages.

8.2 Purchaser’s Damages. In the event the sale of the Property as contemplated hereunder is not consummated due to Seller’s default hereunder, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, either (a) to terminate this Agreement and release Purchaser and Seller from any and all liability hereunder, or (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligation to convey the Property to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of Seller’s default hereunder. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement, if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located, on or before two (2) years following the date upon which Closing was to have occurred.

 

11


8.3 Recovery of Damages. Notwithstanding Sections 8.1 and 8.2 hereof, in no event shall the provisions of Sections 8.1 and 8.2 limit the damages recoverable by either party against the other party due to the other party’s obligation to hold harmless such party in accordance with this Agreement or for any defaults by either party after the Closing.

ARTICLE 9. SELLER’S COVENANTS

Seller agrees that during the period from the date hereof through the Closing Date Seller will perform the following covenants:

9.1 Operation. Except as Purchaser may otherwise consent in writing, until the Closing Date, unless this Agreement is sooner terminated, Seller shall not grant to any third party any interest in the Property or any part thereof or further voluntarily encumber the Property.

9.2 Operating Contracts. Seller will not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion), (i) enter into any Operating Contract that will not be fully performed by Seller on or before the Closing Date, or (ii) amend, modify or supplement any existing Operating Contract or permit in any material respect (but Seller shall terminate any of the same which Purchaser does not approve). Purchaser will have been deemed to have required Seller to terminate in writing at or prior to Closing all of the Operating Contracts unless Purchaser advises Seller in writing of which Operating Contracts it will assume prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Seller shall deliver at Closing notices of termination of all Operating Contracts that are not so assumed. Purchaser must assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing under those Operating Contracts that Purchaser has agreed to assume. Purchaser shall not be liable for any termination fees and other fees due for the period after the Closing with respect to any Operating Contracts Seller is obligated to terminate at Closing.

ARTICLE 10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Listing and Other Offers. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller may list the Property with any broker or solicit or accept any offers to purchase the Property, enter into any agreements (binding or not binding) to sell the Property, or engage in any discussions or negotiations with any third party with respect to the sale of the Property.

10.2 Commissions. Each of the parties represents to each other that it has not retained or used the services of a broker or agent in connection with this transaction. Each party agrees to hold the other harmless from any claims of any other brokers or agents for fees or commissions arising out of this transaction attributable to a breach by such party of its representation in the immediately preceding sentence.

10.3 Parties Bound. This Agreement may not be assigned by Purchaser directly or indirectly (including changes in control of Purchaser) to any party without the prior written consent of Seller; provided that Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to an affiliate of Purchaser without obtaining Seller’s consent so long as Purchaser gives Seller and the Title Company written notice of any such assignment at least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date. For the purpose of this Section 10.3, an “affiliate of Purchaser” shall mean any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Purchaser. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and all provisions hereof, including, without limitations, all representations and warranties made hereunder, shall extend to, be obligatory upon and inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, devisees, legal representatives, successors, assigns, and beneficiaries of the parties hereto. No assignment by either party shall relieve such party of any obligation under this Agreement whether arising before or after such assignment.

 

12


10.4 Headings. The article and paragraph headings of this Agreement are for convenience only and do not limit or enlarge the scope or meaning of the language hereof.

10.5 Provisions Survive. The provisions of this Agreement that contemplate performance after Closing shall survive the Closing and shall not be merged into the instruments of Closing.

10.6 Invalidity and Waiver. If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid or inoperative, then so far as is reasonable and possible the remainder of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and operative, and effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion held invalid or inoperative. The failure by either party to enforce against the other any term or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed not to be a waiver of such party’s right to enforce against the other party the same or any other such term or provision.

10.7 Governing Law/Jurisdiction/Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and the rights and obligations of Seller and Purchaser hereunder determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Oklahoma without regard to the principles of choice of law or conflicts of law. In recognition of the benefits of having any disputes with respect to this Agreement resolved by an experienced and expert person, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that any suit, action, or proceeding, whether claim or counterclaim, brought or instituted by any party on or with respect to this Agreement or which in any way relates, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any event, transaction, or occurrence arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement or the Property, or the dealings of the parties with respect thereto, shall be tried only by a court and not by a jury. THE PARTIES HERETO, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, (A) SUBMIT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY ANY PERSON ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, (B) AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN OKLAHOMA COUNTY, OKLAHOMA, (C) SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, AND, (D) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AGREE THAT NONE OF THEM WILL BRING ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER FORUM. EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING.

10.8 No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is not intended to give or confer any benefits, rights, privileges, claims, actions or remedies to any person or entity as a third party beneficiary, decree, or otherwise.

10.9 Entirety and Amendments. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the Property. This Agreement may be amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing executed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

10.10 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall constitute one Agreement. To facilitate execution of this Agreement, the parties may execute and exchange by telephone facsimile or email counterparts of the signature pages.

10.11 Further Assurances. In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed and/or delivered by Seller to Purchaser at the Closing, Seller agrees to perform, execute and/or deliver or cause to be delivered, executed and/or delivered, but without any obligation to incur any additional liability or expense, after the Closing any and all further acts, deeds and assurances as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and/or to further perfect and deliver to Purchaser the conveyance, transfer and assignment of the Property and all rights related thereto.

 

13


10.12 Time. Time is of the essence in the performance of each and every term, condition and covenant contained in this Agreement.

10.13 Attorneys’ Fees. Should either party employ attorneys to enforce any of the provisions hereof, the party losing in any final judgment agrees to pay the prevailing party all reasonable costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expended or incurred in connection therewith.

10.14 Use of Pronouns. The use of the neuter singular pronoun to refer to Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed a proper reference, even though Seller or Purchaser may be an individual, partnership or a group of two or more individuals. The necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions of this Agreement apply in the plural sense where there is more than one seller or purchaser and to either partnerships or individuals (male or female) shall in all instances be assumed as though in each case fully expressed.

10.15 Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be served on the parties at the following address:

In connection with any Seller 1031 Exchange, Seller shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to all or a portion of the Property to a qualified intermediary, an exchange accommodation title holder or one or more single member limited liability companies that are owned by either of the foregoing persons to complete the Seller 1031 Exchange; provided, however, that any such assignment of the rights or obligations of Seller hereunder shall not relieve, release or absolve Seller of its obligations to Purchaser. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with respect to a Seller 1031 Exchange, including by executing any and all documents reasonably requested in connection therewith and making any payments due under this Agreement to or at the direction of the qualified intermediary or the exchange accommodation title holder, provided that Purchaser shall incur no material costs, expenses or liabilities in connection with any Seller 1031 Exchange.

Purchaser shall defend and hold Seller harmless therefrom and Seller shall not be required to take title to or contract for purchase of any other property. If Purchaser uses a qualified intermediary to effectuate the exchange, any assignment of the rights or obligations of Purchaser hereunder shall not relieve, release or absolve Purchaser of its obligations to Seller.

(b) Purchaser may structure the disposition of the Property, in whole or in part, as a transaction intended by Purchaser to qualify as a like-kind exchange under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (a “Purchaser 1031 Exchange”) at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. In connection with any Purchaser 1031 Exchange, Purchaser shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to all or a portion of the Property to a qualified intermediary, an exchange accommodation title holder or one or more single member limited liability companies that are owned by either of the foregoing persons to complete the Purchaser 1031 Exchange; provided, however, that any such assignment of the rights or obligations of Purchaser hereunder shall not relieve, release or absolve Purchaser of its obligations to Seller.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to disclose information with respect to the Property to its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, environmental auditors, appraisers, engineers, potential lenders, and permitted assignees under this Agreement and other consultants to the extent necessary for Purchaser to evaluate its acquisition of the Property provided that all such persons are told that such information is confidential and agree to keep such information confidential. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to information that was in Purchaser’s possession prior to disclosure by Seller or is generally available to the public (other than as a result of Purchaser’s wrongful disclosure thereof).

(b) After Closing, Seller and Purchaser each shall maintain the confidentiality of this sale and purchase and shall not, except as required by law or governmental regulation applicable to the Property and except in connection with any action or suit under this Agreement, disclose the terms of this Agreement or of such sale and purchase to any third parties whomsoever other than investors or prospective investors in Seller or Purchaser and such other persons whose assistance is required in carrying out the terms of this Agreement.
