B. Seller desires to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase from Seller, all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Property (hereinafter defined) for the price and on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

 

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY

(a) The Land, together with the Improvements;

 

(b) All of Seller's interest as lessor in all leases covering the Land and the Improvements (said leases, together with any and all amendments, modifications or supplements thereto, are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Leases" and are identified in the Rent Roll (hereinafter defined) attached hereto as Exhibit B);

 

(c) All rights, privileges, easements and appurtenances appertaining to the Land and the Improvements including, without limitation, all easements, rights-of-way and other appurtenances used or connected with the beneficial use or enjoyment of the Land and the Improvements. The Land, the Improvements, and all such rights, privileges, easements and appurtenances (including, without limitation, Seller's interest as lessor under the Leases) are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Real Property";

 

(d) All personal property, equipment, supplies and fixtures (collectively, the "Personal Property") owned by Seller and used in the operation of the Real Property including, without limitation, all property described in Exhibit C attached hereto; and

 

(e) All intangible property used in connection with the foregoing including, without limitation, all trademarks, trade names (including, without limitation, all rights of Seller to the use of the name Oakview Plaza North and South), and the contract rights, licenses (to the extent transferable), permits (to the extent transferable) and warranties (to the extent transferable), more particularly described in Exhibit D) attached hereto (the "Intangible Personal Property"). The Real Property, the Personal Property and the Intangible Personal Property are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Property".

 

 

3. THE PURCHASE PRICE

 

The purchase price for the Property is Thirty Three Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($33,250,000.00) (the "Purchase Price") and shall be paid to Seller by Purchaser paying the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds at or prior to the Closing, net of all prorations and adjustments as provided herein.

 

Within 48 hours of receipt by Madison Title, LLC (the “Escrow Agent”) of a fully executed copy of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer in the amount of $500,000 (the "Initial Deposit"), which Escrow Agent shall hold and disburse in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the written escrow agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Escrow Agreement”). The date the Escrow Agent receives the Initial Deposit shall be the Effective Date. If Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (hereinafter defined), Purchaser shall deposit with Escrow Agent within one (1) business day after the expiration or waiver of the Due Diligence Period an additional amount of $250,000 (the “Additional Deposit” and together with the Initial Deposit collectively, the “Deposit”). For purposes of this Agreement, the term Deposit shall include interest earned thereon, if any. Escrow Agent shall pay the Deposit to Seller at Closing and the Deposit shall be applied as a credit to the Purchase Price and shall otherwise be held and disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. If either Purchaser or Seller is entitled under this Agreement to the payment of the Deposit, or any portion thereof, and requests Escrow Agent to make such payment (whether to itself or the other party), the other party agrees to provide notice to Escrow Agent authorizing such payment, unless such other party disagrees with such request in which event the provisions of the Escrow Agreement shall control.

 

 

4. TITLE

 

(a) As soon as possible following the execution of this Agreement, Seller shall order a title commitment on the Real Property (the "Commitment"), together with legible copies of all documents relating to the title exceptions referred to in the Commitment.

 

(b) As soon as possible following the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall order, at its own expense, an updated survey of the Real Property sufficient to enable the title company to issue an ALTA owner's policy of title insurance (the "Survey"). The Survey shall be certified as true and correct by the surveyor for the benefit of Purchaser and title company.

 

By the end of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall notify (the “Title Notice”) Seller of any title exceptions or survey matters which adversely affect Purchaser's use, or the marketability of title to, the Real Property ("Disapproved Matters"). All other title exceptions set forth in the Commitment shall constitute the "Permitted Encumbrances". As a condition to the Closing, Seller shall use its reasonable efforts to remove, or cause to be removed, all Disapproved Matters or, in the alternative, obtain title insurance in a form satisfactory to Purchaser insuring against the effect of such Disapproved Matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be obligated to remove all monetary encumbrances. Within five (5) days of receipt of the Title Notice, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of any Disapproved Matters which Seller is unable to cause to be removed or satisfactorily insured against and Purchaser shall then, within five (5) days thereafter, elect, by giving written notice to Seller, (i) to terminate this Agreement and have the Deposit returned to it, or (ii) to waive its disapproval of such exceptions or survey matters (such exceptions or survey matters shall then be deemed to be "Permitted Encumbrances"). Failure by the Purchaser to give the Seller said notice shall constitute a waiver by Purchaser of its rights to terminate this Agreement for title or survey objections and an acceptance of the Disapproved Matters.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that Seller, despite its good-faith efforts, shall be unable to fully perform its obligations to deliver all of the documents and information as required under this Section 7, then Purchaser's sole remedy shall be the right to elect, by giving written notice to Seller, either (i) to terminate this Agreement and have the Deposit returned to it or (ii) to waive such failure to provide such documents and information and to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby with no adjustment in the Purchase Price. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, any money or documents shall be returned to the party depositing the same, and thereafter this Agreement shall become null and void with no further obligation on the part of either party.

 

At an appropriate time prior to the thirty (30) days after the Effective Date (the “Due Diligence Period”) and with prior reasonable notification to Seller, Purchaser, its agents and representatives shall be entitled: (i) to enter onto the Real Property during normal business hours to perform inspections and tests of the Real Property or the Personal Property, including all leased areas (subject to the rights of the Tenants) and structural and mechanical systems within the Improvements; (ii) to examine and copy any and all books and records maintained by Seller or its agents relating to receipts and expenditures pertaining to the Property since construction; (iii) subject to the terms of the Leases, to interview the Tenants during normal business hours; (iv) to examine for the presence or absence of hazardous or toxic materials, substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”); and (v) to review the documentation described in this subsection (a).

The indemnification and hold harmless provisions of this Section 7 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. All such investigations and inspections shall be done in such a way as to minimize disruption of tenants’ business operations and interference with tenants generally.

 

 

In the event that all aspects of the Property are not acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion, Purchaser shall give written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Initial Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and this Agreement shall terminate and both Seller and Purchaser shall thereafter be relieved from any and all liability under this Agreement except for the Purchaser’s indemnification obligations under the preceding paragraph.

 

Failure of the Purchaser to give the Seller a letter objecting to any of the documentation described in subsection (a) of this Section 7 within the Due Diligence Period shall constitute a waiver by Purchaser of its right to terminate this Agreement because of the unacceptability of these items.

 

 

Purchaser shall give Seller written notice of those Contracts Purchaser desires Seller to terminate prior to Closing and Seller shall arrange to terminate those Contracts designated by Purchaser as of the Closing.

 

(b) PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 5, SELLER IS SELLING AND PURCHASER IS PURCHASING THE PROPERTY ON AN “AS IS WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS AND THAT PURCHASER IS NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, FROM SELLER, ITS AGENTS, OR BROKERS AS TO ANY MATTERS CONCERNING THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION: (i) the quality, nature, adequacy and physical condition of the Property, including, but not limited to, the structural elements, foundation, roof, appurtenances, access, landscaping, parking facilities and the electrical, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, sewage, and utility systems, facilities and appliances, (ii) the quality, nature, adequacy, and physical condition of soils, geology and any groundwater, (iii) the existence, quality, nature, adequacy and physical condition of utilities serving the Property, (iv) the development potential of the Property, and the Property’s use, habitability, merchantability, or fitness, suitability, value or adequacy of the Property for any particular purpose, (v) the zoning or other legal status of the Property or any other public or private restrictions on use of the Property, (vi) the compliance of the Property or its operation with any applicable codes, laws, regulations, statutes, ordinances, covenants, conditions and restrictions of any governmental or quasi-governmental entity or of any other person or entity, (vii) the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Property or the adjoining or neighboring property, (viii) the quality of any labor and materials used in any improvements on the Real Property, (ix) the condition of title to the Property, (x) the Leases or Contracts, (xi) the economics of the operation of the Property and (xii) the accuracy of any third party reports delivered to the Purchaser.

 

 

(c) Without limiting the above, except with respect to a breach by Seller of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.1 hereof or Seller’s obligations hereunder, or Seller’s fraud, Purchaser on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns waives its right to recover from, and forever releases and discharges, Seller, Seller’s affiliates, Seller’s investment manager, the partners, trustees, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents of each of them, and their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns, from any and all demands, claims, legal or administrative proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs), whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with the physical condition of the Property or any law or regulation applicable thereto, including, without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C.

Seller hereby covenants with Purchaser, as follows:

After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and prior to the Closing, Seller shall neither execute any new Lease, nor terminate, renew, amend or modify any existing Lease, without Purchaser's prior written consent, which consent shall be granted or withheld in Purchaser's good-faith, non-arbitrary business judgment. If Purchaser has not notified Seller within three (3) business days of receipt of a request for approval of its decision, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the matter. Subject to the foregoing, Seller shall diligently seek tenants for all space which is or will become vacant prior to the end of the month following the Closing. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall not accept from any Tenant payment of rent or other charges more than one month in advance or apply any security deposit to rent due from any Tenant, unless Seller shall first have obtained Purchaser's prior written consent.

12. PRORATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS

 

The following shall be prorated and adjusted between Seller and Purchaser as of the day of the Closing, except as otherwise specified:

 

(a) Collected Rents and other charges, other than for Tenants who owe Delinquent Rents (as hereinafter defined), for the month in which Closing occurs, shall be prorated by credit to Purchaser. Prepaid rents and other charges shall be credited to Purchaser. Rents unpaid for the month in which the Closing occurs, which are uncollected as of Closing but which are received within the month in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated. Rents and other charges which at the Closing are thirty (30) or more days past due ("Delinquent Rents") shall not be prorated, but are the property of Seller, subject to the following: Rents and other amounts received by Purchaser within thirty (30) days after the Closing from a Tenant owing Delinquent Rents shall be applied (i) first, to all Purchaser's costs of collection incurred with respect to such Tenant (including reasonable attorneys' fees); (ii) second, to rents due for the month in which such payment is received by Purchaser; (iii) third, to rents attributable to any period after the Closing which are past due on the date of receipt; and (iv) then, to Delinquent Rents. Seller shall promptly remit to Purchaser all sums received by Seller from Tenants after the Closing other than for rents for which Purchaser received credit hereunder.

 

 

(b) The amount of all security and other Tenant deposits and interest due thereon, if any, shall be credited to Purchaser.

 

(c) Accrued general real estate, personal property and ad valorem taxes and assessments for the current tax year shall be prorated in accordance with custom in the City of Omaha, Nebraska; that is, due to the fact that the County and City levy included in each year’s real estate tax assessment are for different years, all real estate taxes that would first become delinquent in the event of non-payment in the year of closing shall be pro-rated to the Closing Date. Seller shall pay all prior year’s taxes and Purchaser shall pay all subsequent year’s taxes.

 

(d) Such other items that are customarily prorated in transactions of this nature (including, without limitation, any utilities paid by Seller under the Leases) shall be prorated. Seller shall pay documentary stamp taxes on the Deed.

 

(e) To the extent that Tenants are reimbursing the landlord for common area maintenance and other operating expenses (collectively, “CAM Charges”), CAM Charges shall be prorated at Closing and again subsequent to Closing, as of the date of Closing on a lease-by-lease basis with each party being entitled to receive a portion of the CAM Charges payable under each Lease for the CAM Lease Year in which Closing occurs, which portion shall be equal to the actual CAM Charges incurred during the party’s respective periods of ownership of the Property during the CAM Lease Year. As used herein, the term “CAM Lease Year” means the twelve (12) month period as to which annual CAM Charges are owed under each Lease. Five (5) days prior to Closing the Seller shall submit to Purchaser an itemization of its actual CAM Charges operating expenses through such date and the amount of CAM Charges received by the Seller as of such date, together with an estimate of CAM Charges to be incurred to, but not including, the Closing Date. In the event that the Seller has received CAM Charges payments in excess of its actual CAM Charges operating expenses, the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the excess. In the event that the Seller has received CAM Charges payments less than its actual CAM Charges operating expenses, to the extent that the Leases provide for a “true up” at the end of the CAM Lease Year, the Seller shall be entitled to receive any deficit but only after the Purchaser has received any true up payment from the Tenant. Upon receipt by either party of any CAM Charge true up payment from a Tenant, the party receiving the same shall provide to the other party its allocable share of the “true up” payment within five (5) days of the receipt thereof.

 

 

To assist the Purchaser in preparing “true up” reconciliation at the end of the CAM Lease Year, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser at Closing records of all of the Seller’s CAM Charge expenditures.

 

(f) Any percentage rents due or paid under any of the Leases (“Percentage Rent”) shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller outside of Closing as of the Closing Date on a Lease-by-Lease basis, as follows; (a) Seller shall be entitled to receive the portion of the Percentage Rent under each Lease for the Lease Year in which Closing occurs, which portion shall be the ratio of the number of days of said Lease Year in which Seller was Landlord under the Lease to the total number of days in the Lease Year, and (b) Purchaser shall receive the balance of Percentage Rent paid under each Lease for the Lease Year. As used herein, the term “Lease Year” means the twelve (12) month period as to which annual Percentage Rent is owed under each Lease. Upon receipt by either Purchaser or Seller of any gross sales reports (“Gross Sales Reports”) and any full or partial payment of Percentage Rent from any tenant of the Property, the party receiving the same shall provide to the other party a copy of the Gross Sales Report and a check for the other party’s prorata share of the Percentage Rent within five (5) days of the receipt thereof. In the event that the Tenant only remits a partial payment, then the amount to be remitted to the other party shall be its prorata share of the partial payment. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to require either Purchaser to Seller to pay to the other party its prorata share of the Percentage Rent prior to receiving the Percentage Rent from the Tenant, and the acceptance or negotiation of any check for Percentage Rent by either party shall not be deemed a waiver of that party’s right to contest the accuracy or amount of the Percentage Rent paid by the Tenant.

 

 

(g) Any lease termination fees paid by a tenant after the Effective Date shall be credited to the Purchaser.

 

The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive the Closing.

 

Purchaser shall be deemed to be the owner of the Property and, therefore, entitled to the income from the Property and responsible for the expenses of the Property for the entire day upon which the Closing occurs. All such prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the month which shall have elapsed as of the day of the Closing. To the extent information necessary to make such prorations is not available at the Closing, the amount of such prorations shall be subject to adjustment in cash after the Closing as and when complete and accurate information becomes available. Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate and use their best efforts to make such adjustments no later than thirty (30) days after the Closing. Except as set forth in this Section 12, all items of income and expense for the period prior to the Closing Date will be for the account of Seller and all items of income and expense for the period on and after the Closing Date will be for the account of Purchaser, all as determined by the accrual method of accounting. Bills received after the Closing Date which relate to expenses incurred, services performed or other amounts allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller.

 

 

13. CLOSING

 

The purchase and sale contemplated herein shall close at the offices of the Escrow Agent on or about forty (40) days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or at such other time, date and place as the parties shall mutually agree. As used herein, the terms "Closing" and "Closing Date" shall mean the date on which Escrow Agent (i) has received all funds and all documents (properly executed and acknowledged, as necessary) required hereunder, (ii) is unconditionally and irrevocably committed to deliver the Title Policy, and (iii) has taken all actions necessary to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. The Closing Date shall be extended without payment of any extension fee due to acts of terrorism or acts of war.

 

14. CLOSING COSTS

 

Seller shall pay one half (½) of the cost of the Title Policy and the cost of title endorsements which are used for title curative purposes under Section 4. Purchaser shall pay one half (½) of the cost of the Title Policy and the cost of any additional title endorsements ordered by Purchaser other than an endorsement for title curative purposes under Section 4, and the cost of the Survey. The parties responsible for paying the cost to record the Deed shall be determined by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the custom in Omaha, Nebraska. Each party shall bear the expense of its own counsel. Real Estate taxes shall be pro-rated as of the Closing Date in accordance with the custom in the city of Omaha, Nebraska.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event Seller is unwilling or unable to repair or replace such damage, Seller shall notify Purchaser of such fact ("Seller's Notice") and Purchaser thereafter shall have the right, exercisable by giving Seller notice within fifteen (15) days after receiving Seller's Notice either (i) to terminate this Agreement, in which case neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except any indemnification obligations of Purchaser and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and any documents shall be returned to the party depositing the same, or (ii) to accept the Improvements in their then condition with an abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price in the amount of the deductible for the applicable insurance coverage and proceed with the Closing, in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to an assignment of all of Seller’s rights to insurance proceeds payable by reason of such non-material damage. For purposes of contemplating any repairs or replacements under this Section 15(b), the Closing may be extended for a reasonable time to allow such repairs or replacements to be made by Seller.

In the event of any such non-material taking, Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such award without Purchaser's prior written consent.

 

 

(e) For the purpose of this Section 15, damage to the Improvements or a taking of a portion thereof shall be deemed to involve a material portion thereof if the reasonably estimated cost of restoration or repair of such damage or the amount of the condemnation award with respect of such taking shall exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or if the damage to the Improvements or the taking gives a Major Tenant the right to terminate its Lease.

 

(f) In the event of material or non-material damage to the Improvements which is non-insured and Purchaser elects to proceed to Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of the uninsured loss, provided, however, if the amount of the uninsured loss exceeds $250,000, the Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and any documents shall be returned to the party depositing the same.

(b) In the event of a default hereunder by Seller, Purchaser shall have at its option either to (i) bring an action for specific performance of this Agreement or (ii) terminate this Agreement, and have the Deposit returned to it and be reimbursed for its actual out-of-pocket due diligence expenses.

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT is entered into as of this ____ day of _______, 200__, by and among ________________________________, a _______ ______________ (the "Seller"), _______________________ (the "Purchaser") and ___________________ ________________________________ (hereinafter "Escrow Agent");

WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller have entered into a certain Purchase and Sale Agreement of even date (hereinafter called the "Contract"); and

 

WHEREAS, Paragraph 3 of said Contract provides for the payment of _______________________________ Dollars ($___________) to Escrow Agent for the Escrow Agent to hold and apply in accordance with a written escrow agreement (this "Agreement");

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements set forth in the Contract and the mutual covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Escrow Agent acknowledges receipt of a check, payable to its order, in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). Such funds, together with any other deposit made under the Contract, are herein called the "Escrow Funds." Escrow Agent agrees to hold, administer, and disburse the Escrow Funds pursuant to this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall invest such funds as directed by the Purchaser and Seller and interest will be credited to Purchaser whose taxpayer identification number is _________________. Interest or other income earned on the Escrow Funds shall become part of the Escrow Funds. Escrow Agent's fee shall be paid equally by Purchaser and Seller, which Escrow Agent may charge against the Escrow Funds.

 

2. At such time as Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser or Seller, or both, setting forth the identity of the party to whom the Escrow Agent is to disburse such Escrow Funds (or portions thereof) and further setting forth the specific section or paragraph of the Contract pursuant to which the disbursement of such Escrow Funds (or portions thereof) is being requested, Escrow Agent shall disburse such Escrow Funds pursuant to such notice; provided, however, that if such notice is given by either Purchaser or Seller but not both, Escrow Agent shall (i) promptly notify the other party (either Purchaser or Seller as the case may be) that Escrow Agent has received a request for disbursement, and (ii) withhold disbursement of such Escrow Funds for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of such notice of disbursement. If Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser or Seller within said ten (10) day period which notice countermands the earlier notice of disbursement, then Escrow Agent shall withhold such disbursement until both Purchaser and Seller can agree upon a disbursement of such Escrow Funds. Purchaser and Seller agree to send to the other, pursuant to Paragraph 6 below, a duplicate copy of any written notice sent to Escrow Agent and requesting any such disbursement or countermanding a request for disbursement.

 

 

3. In performing any of its duties hereunder, Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability for any damages, losses, or expenses, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct, and it shall accordingly not incur any such liability for (i) any action taken or omitted in good faith upon advice of its legal counsel given with respect to any questions relating to the duties and responsibilities of Escrow Agent under this Agreement, or (ii) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including any written notice or instruction provided for in this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons, and to conform with the provisions in this Agreement.

 

4. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 2 above, in the event of a dispute between Purchaser and Seller sufficient in the sole discretion of Escrow Agent to justify its doing so or in the event that the Escrow Agent has not disbursed the Escrow Funds on or before December 31, ____, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to tender into the registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction the Escrow Funds, together with such legal pleadings as Escrow Agent may deem appropriate, and upon such action the Escrow Agent shall be discharged from all further duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any such legal action may be brought in such court as Escrow Agent shall determine to have jurisdiction thereof.

 

5. Purchaser and Seller agree to indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable costs of investigation and legal counsel fees, which may be imposed upon Escrow Agent or incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, including, without limitation, any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving the subject matter hereof.

 

6. Wherever any notice or other communication is required or permitted hereunder, such notice or other communication shall be in writing and shall be delivered by overnight courier (at no charge to the addressee), hand, or sent by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the addresses set out below or at such other addresses as are specified by written notice delivered in accordance herewith:

 

 

Any notice or other communication given as hereinabove provided shall be deemed effectively given or received on the date of delivery, if delivered by hand or by overnight courier, or otherwise on the third (3rd) business day following the postmark date of such notice or other communication.

7. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors, and assigns. Any and all rights granted to any of the parties hereto may be exercised by their agents or personal representatives.

8. Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

9. This Agreement is governed by and is to be construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date and year first above written.
