(a)                                  Two Hundred Fifty Thousand DOLLARS and No CENTS ($250,000.00) earnest money deposit (the “First Earnest Money Deposit”) paid by Buyer to Shutts & Bowen LLC (the “Escrow Agent”) within five (5) business days following receipt, by Buyer, of a copy of this Contract dated and signed by Seller.  The First Earnest Money Deposit shall be held in trust by the Escrow Agent subject to such agent’s standard form of

escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) which Seller and Buyer shall join in and execute and disbursed as set forth below.

 

(b)                                 Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand DOLLARS and No CENTS ($750,000.00) earnest money deposit (the “Second Earnest Money Deposit”) (collectively the First Earnest Money Deposit and the Second Earnest Money Deposit are referred to herein as the “Earnest Money Deposits” and are to be held pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement) paid by Buyer to the Escrow Agent within three (3) business days following the expiration of the Inspection Period (as hereinafter defined) in the event Buyer elects not to terminate this Contract by written notice to Seller prior to expiration of the Inspection Period.

4.                                       EARNEST MONEY DEPOSITS.  The Escrow Agent receiving the Earnest Money Deposits will be authorized, by the terms of the Escrow Agreement, to hold the same in escrow and to deliver and disburse same (subject to clearance of checks), in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Failure of clearance of funds shall not excuse performance by Buyer.  The Escrow Agent will be authorized to deposit the funds in an interest-bearing account at a bank or other financial institution insured by the FDIC or the FSLIC.  Such account shall be maintained in the name of the Escrow Agent (as “escrow agent” or as “trustee”).  The return (whether classed as interest or dividends) earned on said Earnest Money Deposits shall be paid to, for the account of, or at the direction of Buyer, except in the event Seller becomes entitled to receive all or any portion of the Earnest Money Deposits by virtue of any default hereunder by Buyer entitling Seller to receive the Earnest Money Deposits (or any portion thereof) as liquidated damages, in which event, Seller shall be entitled to also receive the return earned on such portion of the Earnest Money Deposits as is payable to Seller.  The taxpayer identification number to be shown on the account into which the Earnest Money Deposits are deposited by the Escrow Agent shall be that of the Buyer, and Buyer shall promptly furnish such number to the Escrow Agent at the time of execution of the Escrow Agreement by Buyer.  At the time of execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer, Buyer shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a Form W-9 to enable the Escrow Agent to open the interest bearing account into which the Earnest Money Deposits shall be placed.

reasonably necessary documents including, but not limited to, Forms W-9 and/or 1099 to the extent applicable to ensure proper reporting of such return for federal income tax purposes.

 

5.                                       INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

 

6.                                       SURVEY.  Within five (5) calendar days following the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined), Seller shall provide, at its expense, one (1) original sealed reproducible print of the boundary survey of the Land dated August 2007 (the “Survey”) prepared by R.M. Barrineau & Associates, Inc., Professional Surveyors and Mappers (whose address is 1309 S.E. 25th Loop, Suite 103, Ocala, Florida 34471 and who is a registered Florida surveyor) (the “Surveyor”). In the event the Survey discloses any encroachments, overlaps, boundary line disputes, gaps, gores or that the Property (or any part thereof) is affected by matters other than the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined), such matters disclosed by the Survey shall be deemed “title defects” to be cured as provided for in Section 9 below.  The Survey shall contain the certification by the Surveyor that the Survey was prepared in accordance with the so-called “Minimum Technical Standards for Land Surveying in the State of Florida” (Chapter 61G17-6, Florida Administrative Code).  The Survey shall contain the legal description of the boundaries of the Land by metes and bounds or other appropriate description.  The Survey shall be certified to Buyer, Seller, the Title Insurance Company (as hereinafter defined) and the Issuing Agent (as hereinafter defined) and any lenders of Buyer.

 

The legal description of the Land contained in the Survey shall be the legal description utilized in the instrument of conveyance.

 

In the event the legal description contained in the Survey describes the Land in more than one (1) parcel, the Survey shall contain the Surveyor’s certification to the effect that all subparcels which together comprise the Land are contiguous, each to the other, and that there exist no gaps or gores.

 

7.                                       INSPECTION OF PROPERTY.  During the period (the “Inspection Period”) from and after the Effective Date of this Agreement through and including the date which is 90 days following the Effective Date, hereof, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to make such investigations, surveys, architectural and engineering studies, soil borings, environmental studies, traffic studies, flood studies and other examinations, studies, tests, investigations and inspections of and concerning the Property (collectively the “Inspections”) as Buyer may deem appropriate in Buyer’s sole discretion.  Buyer and its agents, employees and independent contractors shall have the right to enter upon the Property for the purpose of performing the Inspections, provided said Inspections shall not in any way damage the Property, cause injury to any person, cause damage to any adjacent real property or interfere with the operations of the lessors of the Property pursuant to the leases listed in Exhibit “B”.  Buyer shall at all times indemnify, save harmless and defend Seller from and against any and all claims, liabilities, loss, costs, damage and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees at or before the trial level and in any appellate proceeding) which Seller may suffer, sustain or incur by reason of the exercise of the right to make and conduct the Inspections, including any damage to the Property or to any person or other land, and including the filing of any mechanics’ or other lien or liens against the Property.  This duty of Buyer

 

4



 

to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller shall survive the closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.  Buyer may at any time prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period terminate this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, in Buyer’s absolute and sole discretion, by written notice to Seller and, subject to Subsection 8(c), upon such timely termination, the First Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, whereupon all parties hereto shall be released from further liability hereunder except with respect to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of one year.

 

In the event Buyer fails to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Seller on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three (3) business days following the expiration of the Inspection Period, the Second Earnest Money Deposit referred to in Subsection 3(b) above, and the parties hereto shall proceed to closing the transaction.

 

Buyer agrees that it is not relying on Seller’s current property taxes as the amount of property taxes that the Buyer may be obligated to pay in the year subsequent to purchase as a change in ownership or property improvements trigger reassessments of the Property that could result in higher property taxes.

 

8.                                       DISCLOSURE BY SELLER AND COOPERATION WITH BUYER.

 

(a)                                  Within five (5) business days of the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer originals or copies of all surveys, title insurance policies, abstracts of title, land plans, renderings, soil test results and data, flood studies, level I or II environmental studies, engineering studies, topographical surveys, leases listed in Exhibit “B” hereof, land planning studies, construction drawings, applications for development approvals (including, but not limited to, applications or submittals to SWFWMD, St. Johns Water Management District (or other applicable water management district) FDOT, FDEP, the City of Ocala, Marion County, FEMA, the Army Corps of Engineers, or the Florida DCA), any applications for concurrency approval, development agreements, applications for zoning changes or variances, and all comments from any aforementioned agencies and all responses thereto from Seller or its consultants or representatives, in Seller’s possession or under Seller’s control pertaining to the Property or any part thereof.  Seller’s duty shall extend only to the furnishing to Buyer of copies of the documents, instruments and materials described in the foregoing sentence if and to the extent such exist and are in the possession or under the control of Seller, and Seller shall have no affirmative duty to purchase or procure any of the foregoing which do not exist as of the Effective Date of this Agreement.  The furnishing by Seller to Buyer of copies of the documents, instruments and materials described above in this Subsection (a) shall be on going as new materials are received by Seller.  The delivery of these materials to Buyer shall be without representation, covenant, or warranty concerning the accuracy thereof or concerning Buyer’s right to utilize or rely thereon.

 

Buyer hereby agrees to maintain all information

 

5



 

provided to it by or on behalf of Seller in strict confidence, not to disseminate such information outside of its organization and to only use the information for the purposes of evaluating the purchase of the Property.

 

Any failure by Seller to timely deliver the aforesaid documents or any other documents or materials Seller is obligated to deliver under any provision of this Agreement within the initial five (5) business day period (or under any other applicable time period referenced in any other provision of this Agreement), shall extend the Inspection Period and Closing Date by one (1) business day for each business day that said documents or materials are not timely delivered to Buyer.

 

(b)                                 From and after the Effective Date through to the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other (and to instruct their respective consultants to do the same) in connection with negotiations with applicable governmental authorities, adjacent landowners, homeowners’ associations and/or lakefront homeowners’ associations, if any, or any other parties in connection with, or pertaining to the obtaining of such zoning changes, variances, land use changes or designations, annexation, subdivision, conveyance of conservation land, and\or other governmental approvals (collectively, “Land Changes”) deemed necessary and/or desirable, by Buyer, to permit development of the Land in accordance with whatever uses Buyer deems appropriate, in Buyer’s sole discretion, as permitted under State, Federal and local law, all at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense.  Furthermore, during this period Seller agrees to execute (at Buyer’s expense) all reasonable documentation necessary for Buyer to apply for entitlements prior to the Closing Date in connection with its proposed use of the Property.  Buyer agrees to apply for any such entitlements at its sole expense.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Buyer shall take no action during this period to encumber the Land and/or title thereto.

 

(c)                                  Buyer agrees that in the event the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not close by virtue of Buyer exercising a termination right provided for in Section 7 or Section  9, Buyer will promptly, and in any event within fifteen (15) days of the date on which it is determined that the transaction will not close (the “Determination Date”), seek to cancel, nullify, reverse or seek to withdraw applications relating to any and all Land Changes brought about by, on behalf of or at the request of Buyer (except those that the Seller, in its sole discretion, has agreed in writing can remain) such that the Property (including all its attributes) is returned to substantially the same land use designations as existed on the Effective Date.  Until such time as Buyer complies with its obligations as set forth in this Subsection (c), and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement except for and subject to the express conditions contained in Section 25, below (the Force Majeure provision) , the First Earnest Money Deposit shall be retained by the Escrow Agent and not returned to Buyer and, again subject to Section 25, below, if such Buyer obligations are not complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of Seller within two (2) months of the Determination Date, the First Earnest Money Deposit shall be disbursed to Seller.  The above

 

6



 

notwithstanding, the Deposit forfeiture provision of this Subsection (c) shall also not apply so long as Buyer is diligently working to satisfy its obligations under this Subsection (c).

 

(d)                                 In the event the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not close, the Buyer shall immediately (i) return all of the materials referenced in Subsection 8(a) to the extent they have been provided by the Seller and (ii) deliver to Seller all documentation and material prepared by Buyer, its consultants and representatives in relation to the Property subsequent to the Effective Date.

 

9.                                       EVIDENCE OF TITLE.  Within fifteen (15) calendar days following the Effective Date, Seller shall procure issuance and delivery to Buyer (with a copy to Buyer’s attorney), by a title company or attorney selected by Seller as issuing agent (the “Issuing Agent”) for Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, Attorneys’ Title Insurance Fund, Inc., First American Title Insurance Company, or such other title insurance company authorized to do business in the State of Florida as Seller may select or determine (the “Title Insurance Company”), of a commitment for title insurance (together with copies of all instruments referred to therein) agreeing to issue to Buyer, upon recording of the general warranty deed to Buyer, a fee owner’s policy of title insurance (ALTA Form B) in the amount of the purchase price provided for in Section 3 above, insuring the title of Buyer to the Land, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined) and described in Exhibit D, and the so-called “Standard Exceptions” contained on the inside jacket cover of the standard Title Insurance Company form of commitment.

 

Said commitment shall provide that the Standard Exceptions shall be deleted from the owner’s title insurance policy issued pursuant to the commitment upon furnishing to the Issuing Agent: (i) a lien, possession and encumbrance affidavit in the customary form (and Seller agrees to furnish such affidavit at and as a part of the closing); and (ii) the above-mentioned Survey of the Land.

 

The lien, possession and encumbrance affidavit referred to above shall certify, among other things, that no one other than Seller is in possession of the Land, with the exception of the tenants under the leases listed in Exhibit “B” to this Agreement, and no work has been done on the Land and no materials, labor or services were furnished to, or for the benefit or improvement of, the Land at the instance or request of Seller for the one hundred twenty (120) day period immediately prior to the date of closing which could serve as the basis for any statutory or common law liens or claims on or affecting the Land. Said lien, possession and encumbrance affidavit shall reflect, however, that the activities of Buyer or Buyer’s agents, employees or independent contractors as permitted under Section 7 of this Agreement may give rise to statutory or common law liens or claims for labor, services or materials.

 

Marketability of title to the Property shall be determined according to applicable Title Standards adopted by authority of The Florida Bar and in accordance with applicable law.  Buyer shall have fifteen (15) calendar days from receipt of the title insurance commitment to examine same.  If title to the Property is determined to be subject to other than the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined and described in Exhibit D), Buyer shall, within three (3) business days following

 

7



 

the expiration of the fifteen (15) calendar day examination period, notify Seller in writing specifying the defects.  Seller shall then, for a period of up to thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of such notice from Buyer, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the specified defects to be cured, of record, and the exceptions from coverage for such defects to be removed from the title insurance commitment (and any policy issued pursuant thereto).  If Seller, using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable to cure such defects and remove such exceptions within thirty (30) calendar days of being notified by Buyer of such defects, Buyer, at Buyer’s sole election, shall have the right to:

 

(a)                                  terminate this Agreement, and, subject to Subsection 8(c), upon such termination, all Earnest Money Deposits shall be returned to Buyer, whereupon all parties hereto shall be released from any further liability hereunder with the exception of the indemnity in Sections 7 and 18, which shall survive as provided therein;

 

(b)                                 close and accept conveyance of the Property subject to said title defects; or

 

(c)                                  if the title defects are in the nature of liens or encumbrances which can be discharged by the payment of money, Buyer shall have the option to pay and discharge the same at or prior to closing, in which event, a credit for the cost thereof, including any reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, shall be given to Buyer as part of the adjustments and prorations at the closing.

 

On the day prior to the Closing Date, the Issuing Agent shall cause to be conducted an examination of the Public Records of Marion County, Florida from the effective date of the title insurance commitment to a date as close to the Closing Date as possible.  On the Closing Date, the Issuing Agent shall issue an endorsement to the title insurance commitment changing the effective date thereof to a date through which title to the Property has been examined, which endorsement shall reflect any title matters recorded during the period searched.  Said endorsement shall likewise contain the affirmative commitment of the Title Insurance Company to insure the so-called “gap period” in accordance with Section  ###-###-####, Florida Statutes, as amended.  If the endorsement to the title insurance commitment discloses the recordation of additional instruments affecting title to the Property or any part thereof (other than instruments caused or created by Buyer or any agent, employee or independent contractor of Buyer) during the period subsequent to the effective date of the title insurance commitment, closing shall be extended for up to Sixty (60) calendar days and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such defects to be removed within such period.  In the event Seller, using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable to remove said intervening title defects within sixty (60) calendar days, Buyer, at Buyer’s sole election, shall have the right to:

 

(a)                                  terminate this Agreement and, subject to Subsection 8(c), upon such termination, all Earnest Money Deposits shall be returned to Buyer, whereupon all parties hereto shall be released from further liability hereunder with the exception of the indemnity in Sections 7 and 18, which shall survive as provided therein;

(b)                                 close and accept conveyance of the Property subject to said intervening title defects; or

 

(c)                                  if the title defects are in the nature of liens or encumbrances which can be discharged by the payment of money, Buyer shall have the option to pay and discharge the same at or prior to closing, in which event, a credit for the cost thereof, including any reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, shall be given to Buyer as part of the adjustments and prorations at the closing.

 

10.                                 CONVEYANCE OF PROPERTY.  Title to the Land, the Improvements and the Personal Property shall be conveyed to Buyer by General Warranty Deed and Bill of Sale free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and matters whatsoever except for the following (the “Permitted Exceptions”):

(b)                                 Zoning, restrictions, prohibitions and other matters imposed by governmental authority;

 

(c)                                  The leases listed in Exhibit “B”; and

(a)                                  Except for this Agreement, there exist no written or oral options, leases, contracts or agreements of whatsoever kind, nature or description between Seller and any other person or entity providing for the sale, lease or encumbrance of the Property, or any part thereof, with the exception of the leases listed in Exhibit “B”.

 

(b)                                 Seller has not received any written or oral notice from any governmental authority indicating that the existing use or condition of the Property, or any part thereof, violates any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation of any governmental authority.

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. Sections 9601, et seq., or Chapter 376 or Chapter 403, Florida Statutes, or Chapter 17, Florida Administrative Code.
