W I T N E S S E T H:

 

1. Sale. Upon the terms and provisions and subject to the conditions hereof, on the Closing Date (hereinafter defined ), Seller shall grant, bargain, sell, convey and assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase and accept from Seller, for the purchase price herein set forth, all of Seller’s undivided 63.86% interest in that certain parcel of land located in North Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas, at 801 Fiber Optic Drive, commonly known as FEDEX GROUND consisting of approximately 10.95 acres of real property owned in fee simple by Seller and 801 FO, LLC (“801 FO”) and described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Land”), including, to the extent owned by Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all strips and gores of land lying adjacent to the Land and Seller’s interest in all easements, privileges, rights of way, riparian and other water rights, if any, underlying any adjacent streets or roads, and appurtenances pertaining to or accruing to the benefit of the Land (“Other Rights”), and:

 

(a) All of Seller’s undivided 63.86% interest in and to all improvements, buildings, structures and fixtures (to the extent not owned by Tenant) located on the Land, presently consisting of a FEDEX GROUND DISTRIBUTION FACILITY building and related real property improvements located on the Land (the “Improvements”); and

 

(b) All of Seller’s undivided 63.86% interest as landlord in and to that one certain lease (“Lease”) affecting the Land and the Improvements dated December 11, 2000, by and between the Seller and 801 FO, as successor landlords, and FedEx Ground Package System, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”) (collectively, the “Lease Interest”); and

 

(c) To the extent assignable, all of Seller’s undivided 63.86% interest in and to all intangible property, if any, owned by Seller and related to the Land and Improvements (but excluding cash and cash equivalents), including, without limitation, Seller’s rights and interests, if any, in and to the following (to the extent assignable): (i) all plans and specifications and other architectural and engineering drawings for the Land and Improvements; (ii) all warranties or guaranties given or made with respect to the Improvements; and (iii) all consents, authorizations, variances or waivers, licenses, permits and approvals from any governmental or quasi-governmental agency, department, board, commission, bureau or other entity or instrumentality with to respect


to the ownership, development, construction, leasing, or operation of the Land and Improvements (collectively, the “Intangible Property”).

 

The Land, Improvements, Intangible Property and Other Rights are collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Property” and Seller’s undivided 63.86% interest in the Property, Lease Interest and Intangible Property is hereinafter collectively referred to as “Seller’s Undivided Interest” or “Makor’s Undivided Interest”).

 

2. Purchase Price. The total purchase price to be paid to Seller by Purchaser for Seller’s Undivided Interest shall be TWO MILLION SIX HUNDRED EIGHTEEN THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED SIXTY and 00/100 DOLLARS ($2,618,260.00) (the “Purchase Price”), payable as follows:

 

(a) Deposit. Upon execution of this Agreement by the Purchaser and Seller, Purchaser shall deposit the sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Deposit”) with the Escrow Agent (hereinafter named).

 

(b) Cash to Close. On the Closing Date, Escrow Agent shall pay the Deposit to Seller and the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the balance of the Purchase Price in the amount of TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED EIGHTEEN THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED SIXTY and 00/100 DOLLARS ($2,518,260.00), increased or diminished by those credits, prorations and adjustments, required herein. The foregoing assumes Seller will pay out of the Purchase Price at Closing Seller’s prorata 63.86% share of the existing mortgage indebtedness to Regions Bank with respect to the Property. To the extent said current lender allows Purchaser to assume Seller’s 63.86% share of said existing mortgage indebtedness, and Purchaser elects to do so, the cash payment at Closing shall be appropriately reduced by the amount of Seller’s said share of said indebtedness so assumed by Purchaser. In such event it shall be a condition to Seller’s obligation to close hereunder that Seller (and any guarantors) be fully released and discharged from all liability with respect to said indebtedness, and the form and substance of said instruments of release shall be reasonably acceptable to Seller.

 

3. Due Diligence Period.

 

(a) Purchaser shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the Effective Date hereof (subject to extension as provided below, the “Due Diligence Period”), to (i) reasonably complete its due diligence inspections, including a customary physical inspection of the Property and customary investigations of the Lease, relevant current financial data, records, tax bills, governmental or quasi-governmental licenses or permits, as-built drawings and specifications, surveys, title reports, soil tests, original environmental reports and any updates, appraisals, engineering studies, maintenance records, if any, insurance documentation, and any maintenance, service or other agreements presently in effect, in each case to the extent in the possession or under the control of the Seller, pertaining to the acquisition, development, construction, ownership, leasing, condition and operation of the Property (collectively, the “Records”); (ii) obtain


the approval of the Property’s current lender/mortgage holder to the transactions contemplated hereby; and (iii) obtain all of Purchaser’s internal approvals. True, correct and complete copies of the Records shall be delivered to or made available to Purchaser promptly upon request after the Effective Date. Purchaser shall have the right by written notice to Seller to extend the Due Diligence Period for up to an additional fifteen (15) days (thereby making the Due Diligence Period a total of up to forty-five (45) days in the aggregate) if Purchaser requires such additional time to complete its (i) environmental review or (ii) appraisal. If, at any time prior to the termination of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that it is unwilling to proceed with this transaction for any reason whatsoever, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by notifying Seller in writing on or before the termination of the Due Diligence Period and, upon such notice, the Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit (with interest accrued thereon) to Purchaser, Purchaser shall return the Records to Seller, and this Agreement shall thereafter become null and void, except for the provisions of Subsection 3(b), Section 14, Section 15 and Section 18 hereof. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period of Purchaser’s election to terminate this Agreement as set forth above, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right of termination under this Section 3.

 

(b) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and 801 FO from and against any damages to the Property and any claims, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by or asserted against Seller or 801 FO to the extent arising out of or in connection with any inspection of the Property by Purchaser or its agents or representatives or any activities of or actions taken by Purchaser or its agents or representatives on or with respect to the Property. The provisions of this Subsection 3(b) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

 

4. Title and Survey Matters.

 

(a) Status of Title. At Closing, Seller shall convey title to Seller’s Undivided Interest to Purchaser by means of a Special Warranty Deed (the “Deed”) and, as relevant, a Special Warranty Bill of Sale and Assignment (the “Bill of Sale”), in customary form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances arising by or through Seller, but in any event subject to the following items (the “Permitted Exceptions”): (i) rights of the Tenant arising under the Lease; (ii) real property taxes for 2004 and subsequent years (subject, however to adjustments pursuant to Section 5 hereof); and (iii) the matters set forth on Exhibit “B” attached hereto and made a part hereof. In the event Purchaser elects to assume Seller’s obligation under the current mortgage indebtedness with respect to the Property, the lien relating to said mortgage indebtedness shall likewise constitute a Permitted Exception hereunder.

 

(b) Preliminary Title Report. Within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a customary owner’s title commitment, together with copies of all instruments listed therein as exceptions to title to the Property, issued by Beach Abstract and Guaranty Company, as a local agent of Chicago Title Insurance Company or another title insurance company acceptable to Purchaser (the


“Title Company”), dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement, showing fee simple title to Seller’s Undivided Interest in the Land to be held by Seller (the “Title Commitment”) and subject to the customary terms thereof committing the Title Company to issue to Purchaser upon the Closing a standard policy of title insurance to insure fee simple title to Seller’s Undivided Interest in the Land to Purchaser, in an amount equal to the Purchase Price, subject only to Permitted Exceptions (the “Title Policy”). It shall not be objectionable if the Title Commitment shall show the existence of other liens, encumbrances or title conditions other than the Permitted Exceptions provided (i) the same are discharged, canceled of record and terminated at or prior to Closing by Seller, and (ii) the Title Company shall delete same as of the Closing from the Title Commitment and the Title Policy to be issued pursuant thereto, by endorsement or other manner reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. The cost of the Title Commitment and Policy shall be paid by Seller; provided, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event Purchaser terminates this Agreement prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, other than because of a title defect or other adverse matter relating to the Property or breach by Seller, then the cost of the Title Commitment (i.e., title search fee) shall be paid by Purchaser.

 

(c) Survey. After the Effective Date, Purchaser, at its sole expense, may cause a survey of the Property to be prepared, or may cause the most recent survey to be updated and recertified by a registered professional surveyor licensed to practice in the State of Arkansas (the “Survey”). Unless waived by Purchaser in writing, Purchaser shall have the right to require that the Survey: (i) be signed and certified by an Arkansas Registered Land Surveyor; (ii) be a closed boundary survey; (iii) locate and identify all existing above ground utilities either on site or adjacent to the Land; (iv) specifically identify all perimeter lines; (v) show the relation of the point of beginning of the Land to the monument from which it is fixed; (vi) locate all existing easements, reservations, dedications and setbacks of record (setting forth official recording information), adjoining alleys, streets and roads and distances thereto, and the centerline and width thereof; (vii) show any encroachments or overlaps on the Land; (viii) show all existing improvements, if any (such as buildings, power lines, curb cuts, fences, parking and paved areas, lakes, etc.); (ix) provide a legal description of the Land; (x) show the total square footage of the Land; (xi) be prepared in accordance with the minimum technical standards for land surveyors in Arkansas including compliance with customary ALTA survey requirements; (xii) state whether the Land appears on any U.S. Department of H.U.D. Flood Insurance Boundary Map, and, if so, whether the Land appears in the “Flood Hazard Area” shown on the map, and further identify Pulaski County Minimum Flood Criteria elevations; and (xiii) contain a surveyor’s certification to the Title Company and Purchaser conforming with customary ALTA standards and in a form sufficient to enable the Title Company to delete the standard survey exception from the Title Policy. In the event the Survey reflects any encroachments or overlaps, easements or any condition other than a Permitted Exception, which shall render the Seller’s title other than good, marketable and insurable, such matter shall be considered a Title Defect and shall be governed by the provisions of Subsection (e) of this Section 4.


(d) UCC Searches. Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, may cause the Title Company to deliver to Purchaser after the Effective Date hereof, current searches of all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Arkansas affecting Seller’s Undivided Interest. If such searches reveal claims or liens affecting Seller’s Undivided Interest (other than the Permitted Exceptions or liens securing indebtedness of Seller to be paid, discharged and released at Closing), then the cure provisions set forth in Subsection (e) of this Section 4 shall apply.

 

(e) Defects and Cure. The Title Commitment, Survey, and UCC Searches described in this Section 4 are collectively referred to as “Title Evidence.” Purchaser shall have until expiration of the Due Diligence Period to review all Title Evidence and to notify the Seller in writing of any objections. If the Title Evidence discloses liens, encumbrances, exceptions, objections or defects or any condition which shall render the Seller’ title other than good, marketable and insurable as herein provided, other than the Permitted Exceptions or liens securing indebtedness of Seller to be paid, discharged and released at Closing, (collectively “Title Defects”), it shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to Close that such Title Defects be cured and removed, within thirty (30) days after written notification by Purchaser to Seller of such Title Defect(s) (the “Cure Period”) and the Closing Date shall be postponed, if necessary, but not by more than thirty (30) days for such purpose (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties). If all Title Defects are not removed, discharged or otherwise corrected within the Cure Period, then Purchaser may, at its option, either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Seller given within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Cure Period; or (ii) proceed to close and accept title “as is” without reduction in the Purchase Price. If Purchaser shall elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4(e), then the Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be repaid to Purchaser and thereafter this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions of Subsection 3(b), Section 14, Section 15 and Section 18 hereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4 to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated to cure and remove any mortgage, deed to secure debt, deed of trust, security interest or similar security instrument encumbering all or any portion of Seller’s Undivided Interest (unless Purchaser elects to assume Seller’s obligation under the current mortgage indebtedness with respect to the Property), (b) any mechanic’s, materialman’s or similar lien (unless resulting from any act or omission of Purchaser or any of its agents, contractors, representatives or employees or any tenant of the Property), (c) the lien of ad valorem real or personal property taxes, assessments and governmental charges affecting all or any portion of Seller’s Undivided Interest which are delinquent, (d) any judgment of record against Seller in the county or other applicable jurisdiction in which the Property is located and (e) any other matters first appearing of record after the date of this Agreement and arising by, through or under Seller.

 

5. Adjustments and Prorations. The following items shall be prorated as of the Closing Date:

 

(a) To the extent Tenant is required to pay property taxes (including special improvement district assessments) under the Lease, such items shall not be


prorated and the parties shall require same to be paid by the Tenant outside Closing pursuant to the terms of the Lease. Otherwise, such items shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller as of the Closing Date.

 

(b) Seller’s undivided 63.86% undivided interest in base rent pursuant to the Lease shall be prorated as of the Closing.

 

(c) Any other operating expenses or other items pertaining to the Property that are customarily prorated between a purchaser and a seller in comparable commercial transactions.

(g) Except as disclosed in any existing environmental assessment delivered to Purchaser as a part of the Records or as permitted in Section 19.4(b) of the Lease, Seller has no knowledge (i) of the presence of any Hazardous Substances (as herein defined), including, but not limited to, transformers or equipment containing polychlorinated bipheryl (“PCBs”), on the Property, (ii) of any spills, releases, discharges, or disposal of Hazardous Substances that have occurred or are presently occurring on or onto the Property, (iii) of any spills or disposal of Hazardous Substances that have occurred or are occurring off the Property as a result of any construction on or operation and use of the Property, (iv) the presence of any asbestos on the Property, or (v) of any failure to comply with any applicable local, state or federal environmental laws, regulation, ordinance, or administrative or judicial order relating to the generation, recycling, reuse, sale, storage, handling, transport, and disposal of any Hazardous Substances with respect to the Property.

Seller and 801 FO, the current landlords under the Lease, are not in breach or default under the Lease in any material respect, and to Seller’s knowledge, Tenant is not in breach or default in any material respect thereunder, and no event has occurred to Seller’s knowledge which with notice, lapse of time or both would become a material breach or default under the Lease.

A true, correct and complete copy of the TIC Agreement and any and all amendments thereto have been provided to Purchaser, and (A) if Purchaser does not exercise its option to purchase 801 FO’s interest in the Property pursuant to the Option contained at the end of this Agreement (the “Option”), the parties acknowledge that after the Closing the TIC Agreement shall remain in force and effect between 801 FO and Purchaser as contemplated in the Option (unless a new agreement is entered into by Purchaser and 801 FO at or prior to the Closing) and (B) if Purchaser exercises the Option to purchase 801 FO’s interest in the Property, the TIC Agreement shall have no effect on the Property, Purchaser or Purchaser’s interest in the Property, to the end that said TIC Agreement shall simply remain a separate agreement between Seller and 801 FO in regard to their winding up of their affairs relating to their respective interests in the Property prior to the Closing. There are no payments due from Seller to 801 FO under the TIC Agreement and there are no unperformed obligations of Seller under the TIC Agreement.

 

The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing of this transaction for a period of one (1) year; provided, however, that any claims arising with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 6(g) shall survive for a period of three (3) years following the Closing, and any


claims arising with respect to the title representations in the Deed or Bill of Sale shall survive until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations relating thereto. The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect (and further claims thereunder shall be barred) upon expiration of the applicable survival period as described above except to the extent, with respect to any particular alleged claim for breach, Purchaser gives Seller written notice prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period of such alleged claim for breach with reasonable detail as to the nature of such breach.

(b) If, after the Effective Date hereof and prior to the Closing, all or part of Seller’s Undivided Interest is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body having the power of eminent domain or is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or sale in lieu thereof), or all or a material part of the Land or Improvements is damaged or destroyed by any cause, Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser in writing, and if such taking, condemnation, damage or destruction materially adversely affects the Property, Purchaser may give written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice to terminate this Agreement prior to the Closing hereunder, in which event, the Deposit and any interest earned thereon shall forthwith be returned to Purchaser by the Escrow Agent, and thereupon this Agreement shall become null and void and all parties shall be relieved and released of and from any further liability hereunder except for the provisions of Subsection 3(b), Section 14, Section 15 and Section 18 hereof. If no such election is made (or such taking, condemnation, damage or destruction does not materially adversely affect the Property), this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the sale and purchase contemplated herein, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, shall be effected without adjustment, subject to the other terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, upon the Closing Seller shall assign, transfer, and set over to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking or condemnation to the extent attributable to Seller’s Undivided Interest therein; and Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any insurance money paid to Seller with respect to any such damages or destruction to the extent attributable to Seller’s Undivided Interest therein.

 

11. Default.

 

(a) Seller’s Default. In the event that Seller should fail to consummate the transactions contemplated herein in breach of this Agreement, excluding any such failure arising out of Purchaser’s default or the failure of any of the conditions to Seller’s obligations set forth herein to have been satisfied, Purchaser may, at its option and as its


sole remedy, either terminate this Agreement and receive a full and immediate refund of the Deposit, including interest earned thereon, held by Escrow Agent, or enforce specific performance of this Agreement; provided, however, that if Seller’s default constitutes a Intentional Seller Default (as hereinafter defined) and Purchaser elects so to terminate this Agreement, then Purchaser shall also have the right to sue Seller for money damages suffered by Purchaser due to such Intentional Seller Default, including without limitation the amount of all third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and the Property, including due diligence costs, engineering and environmental review costs, and legal fees and expenses. In no event shall Seller be liable for consequential, speculative, remote or punitive damages. “Intentional Seller Default” means any intentional and deliberate act or omission of Seller taken on or after the date of this Agreement that is intended to result in, or does result in, the failure or inability (or substantial impairment of the ability) of Purchaser or Seller to consummate this Agreement, or is intended to result in, or does result in the failure to satisfy a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation expressly set forth in this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to Purchaser upon any breach by Seller under this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver by Purchaser of any condition or the breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other condition or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained.

 

(b) Purchaser’s Default. In the event Purchaser should fail to consummate the transactions contemplated herein in breach of this Agreement for any reason except (i) Purchaser’s termination of this Agreement as provided herein, (ii) default by Seller, or (iii) the failure of any of the conditions to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder to have been satisfied, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit with any interest earned thereon to Seller and it shall become the property of Seller, as liquidated damages. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to Seller upon any breach by Purchaser under this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver by Seller of any condition or the breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other condition or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained.

 

(c) Notice; Right to Cure. As used in this Agreement, the word “default” shall mean that a party hereto has breached this Agreement; and such party has failed to cure same within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the other party specifying the nature of the alleged default. No default shall become actionable until the expiration of the aforesaid cure period with the default unremedied.

 

12. Access. From time to time during normal business hours after the execution of this Agreement, and with reasonable prior request to and coordination with and through Seller and Tenant, to the extent permitted by the Lease or otherwise allowed by Tenant, Purchaser through its authorized agents, personnel, employees, and


independent contractors, shall be entitled to enter upon the Land and Improvements in order to make a commercially reasonable inspection thereof as appropriate in the circumstances; provided no such entry or inspection shall interfere with the operations of Tenant. In addition, from and after the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall likewise be given reasonable access during normal business hours to the Records with respect to the Property in order to allow Purchaser to fully inspect the same.

 

13. Notices. Any notice, consent, approval or communication given pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be (a) mailed by certified mail or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (b) delivered by a nationally recognized overnight courier, U.S. Post Office Express Mail, or similar overnight courier, or (c) sent by facsimile transmittal.

14. Brokers. Each party hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from any claim, demand or liability for any commission or fee claimed to be owed to any broker or finder engaged by the indemnifying party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 14 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

 

15. Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent under this Agreement shall be Beach Abstract and Guaranty Company, or such other person or entity appointed by joint written instructions of Purchaser and Seller (the “Escrow Agent”). The Purchaser and Seller shall have the right to remove any then appointed Escrow Agent and appoint a successor by written notice signed by Purchaser and Seller, and in such event the funds held in escrow shall be promptly delivered to such successor Escrow Agent. Any funds delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be held by said Escrow Agent in trust and shall be deposited in an interest bearing account or certificate of deposit maintained with or issued by a federally insured commercial or savings bank (or other financial institution mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller). All interest earned on the Deposit shall be for the account of the Purchaser and assigned to Purchaser’s tax identification number, unless the Deposit is paid to Seller by reason of Purchaser’s default, as provided herein, in which case all interest earned thereon shall also be paid to Seller in accordance with Section 11 of this Agreement. The execution of this Agreement by the Escrow Agent is solely for purposes of evidencing the acknowledgment by said Escrow Agent of the receipt by it of the Deposit specified in Section 2 hereinabove and the terms of this Section 15. In the event of any dispute regarding any action taken, or proposed to be taken, by the Escrow Agent with respect to


the Deposit, any other funds held by it, or any documents, agreements and/or property held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement (collectively the “Escrow”), the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, may:

 

(a) Refuse to comply with any demands on it and continue to hold the Escrow until it receives either (i) written notice signed by Purchaser and Seller directing the disbursement of the Escrow, or (ii) an order of a Court, having proper jurisdiction thereover, directing the disbursement of the Escrow;

 

(b) On notice to Seller and Purchaser, take such affirmative action as it may deem appropriate to determine its duties as Escrow Agent, including, but not limited to, the deposit of the Escrow with a court of competent jurisdiction and the commencement of an action for interpleader; or

 

(c) If Purchaser or Seller shall have commenced litigation with respect to the Escrow, deposit the Escrow with the Clerk of the Court in which said litigation is pending.

 

Upon disbursing the Escrow under the provision of (a), (b) or (c) above, the Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation with respect to the Escrow.

 

Purchaser, Seller and Escrow Agent acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting hereunder as a depository only to the parties, and Purchaser and Seller, jointly and severally, do hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent of and from any and all liabilities, costs, expenses and claims, of any nature whatsoever, by reason of or arising out of any act as Escrow Agent hereunder, except in the case of Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

All parties agree that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any party or person for (i) the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any instrument deposited with it or any notice or demand given to it or for the form of execution of such instrument, notice or demand, or for the identification, authority or rights of any person executing, depositing or giving the same or for the terms and conditions of any instrument, pursuant to which the parties may act; (ii) acting upon any signature, notice, demand, request, waiver, consent, receipt or other paper or document believed by Escrow Agent to be genuine and Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give it any notice on behalf of any party in accordance with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so, or (iii) otherwise acting or failing to act under this Section, except in the case of Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification of this Agreement, unless the same is in writing and signed by Purchaser and Seller, and, if the Escrow Agent’s liability or duties hereunder are affected, unless Escrow Agent shall have given prior written consent thereto.

 

16. Compliance with Code. In order to comply with the provisions of Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at Closing an affidavit in which Seller, under penalty of


perjury, affirm that the Seller is not a “foreign person” as defined in the Code, states the United States taxpayer identification number of the Seller, and which otherwise conforms to the requirements of Section 1445 of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

17. Seller’s Books and Records. Seller shall provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s expense) copies of, or shall provide Purchaser access to, the books and records with respect to the ownership, management, maintenance and operation of the Property prior to the Closing Date and shall furnish Purchaser with such additional information concerning the same as Purchaser shall reasonably request and which is in the possession or control of Seller, or its property manager or accountants, to enable Purchaser’s affiliate (Paladin Realty Income Properties, L.P. or Paladin Realty Income Properties, Inc.), to comply with Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, Rule 3-14. At Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, Seller shall allow Purchaser’s auditor to conduct an audit of the income statements of the Property for the year of Closing (to the date of Closing) and the two prior years, and shall cooperate (at no cost to Seller) with Purchaser’s auditor in the conduct of such audit.

 

18. General Provisions.

 

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and all questions of interpretation, construction and enforcement hereof, and all controversies arising hereunder, shall be governed by the applicable statutory and common law of the State of Arkansas, without reference to choice of law principles.

 

(b) Severability. In the event any term or provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal, unenforceable or inoperative as a matter of law, the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(c) Binding Effect, Entire Agreement, Modification. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement embodies the entire contract between the parties hereto with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby, and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings relating thereto, written or oral, formal or informal. No waiver hereunder, and no modifications or amendments hereto, shall have any force or effect whatsoever unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party to be bound thereby.

 

(d) Further Assurances. The parties agree that from time to time hereafter, upon request, each of them will execute, acknowledge and deliver such other commercially reasonable documents and instruments, and take such further commercially reasonable action, as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.


(e) Captions. Captions and headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience and reference only and in no way define, describe, extend or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement.

(g) Remedies. Unless otherwise specified herein or the context otherwise indicates, no remedy conferred upon either party in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.

 

(h) Assignment. This Agreement may be assigned by Purchaser to an affiliate of Purchaser prior to the Closing by written notice to Seller, and subject to the assignee executing an acceptance of said assignment and assumption of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller. No such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of any of its obligations and covenants hereunder, and in the event of any breach or default by said assignee, Seller may pursue any available right or remedy directly against Purchaser without first resorting against said assignee (i.e., as if said assignment had not taken place). Otherwise, this Agreement may not be assigned by Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller. Seller may assign this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” in order to effect a deferred like kind exchange of property pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder.

 

(i) Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to either party upon any breach by the other party under this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom it is asserted and any such written waiver shall only be applicable to the specific instance to which it relates and shall not be deemed to be a continuing or future waiver.

 

(j) Survival. Any portion of this Agreement not consummated at or by Closing, and not specified elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, shall survive the Closing of this transaction for the time periods set forth herein, or if not set forth herein, for the applicable statute of limitations.

 

(k) Recordation of Agreement. This Agreement shall not be recorded in any public records, except to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with any litigation or as reasonably necessary to enforce the terms hereof or to fully effect the rights of the parties hereof.


(l) Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile signatures and/or in multiple counterparts (with all counterparts together reflecting the signature of all parties hereto), and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

This Agreement shall be interpreted without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring interpretation against the party causing this Agreement or any part thereof to be drafted. Wherever used in this Agreement, “any” means “any and all”; and “include” and “including” each are without limitation. Unless this Agreement expressly or necessarily requires otherwise (i) any time period measured in “days” means consecutive calendar days, except that the expiration of any time period measured in days that expires on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday automatically will be extended to the next day so that it is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday on which the Title Company is closed for business (collectively “Business Day”); (ii) any action is at the sole expense of the party required to take it; (iii) the scope of any indemnity includes any costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees through all levels of proceedings incurred in defending any indemnified claim, or in enforcing the indemnity, or both. The term “knowledge” as used herein shall mean actual knowledge and shall not include matters only constructively known.

In the event this Agreement has not been duly executed by the Purchaser and delivered to the Seller by December 24, 2004, at 5:00 o’clock, P.M., central time, then the offer herein shall terminate, this Agreement shall be null and void and the Escrow Agent shall return to the Purchaser any Deposit made hereunder.

 

(q) Effective Date. The “Effective Date” of this Agreement shall be the Effective Date set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement.

 

(r) Waiver of Right of First Offer. Seller hereby waives its right of first offer contained in Section 9.1 of the Tenancy in Common Agreement, dated September 1, 2002 between Seller and 801 FO, LLC (the “TIC Agreement”) for any


purchase by Purchaser of the interest of 801 FO, LLC in the Property pursuant to the Option Grant contained at the end of this Agreement.

 

(s) Confidentiality. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or court order, and except for disclosures to Purchaser’s representatives and lender(s) who agree to abide by the provisions of this Subsection, Purchaser agrees that Purchaser and its representatives and lender(s) shall maintain in confidence, and shall not disclose to any third party, the terms of this Agreement, the Records and other non-public information relating to the Lease or the Property.

OPTION GRANT

 

801 FO, LLC, an Arkansas limited liability company (“801 FO”) owns a undivided 36.14% interest in the Property (the “801 FO Undivided Interest”). 801 FO hereby grants to Paladin Realty Partners, LLC (“Purchaser”) an option (the “Option”) to purchase the 801 FO Undivided Interest simultaneously with, and conditioned upon, the closing of the sale of Makor’s Undivided Interest to Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Makor and Purchaser (the “Makor Closing”). In the event the Option is exercised, 801 FO shall execute a joinder to the Agreement as a seller thereunder with respect to the 801 FO Undivided Interest, and the sale and purchase of the 801 FO Undivided Interest shall be upon the same terms and conditions (including representations, warranties and covenants of the parties) as the sale by Makor of Makor’s Undivided Interest to Purchaser pursuant to the Agreement, except that the Purchase Price for the 801 FO Undivided Interest shall be $1,481,740 (assuming 801 FO pays from the Purchase Price at the Closing its 36.14% pro rata share of the existing mortgage indebtedness with respect to the Property). In the event Purchaser elects to assume 801 FO’s 36.14% share of said existing mortgage indebtedness as provided in the Agreement, the cash payment to 801 FO at the Closing shall be appropriately reduced to reflect said assumption by Purchaser of 801 FO’s 36.14% prorata obligation thereunder. In such event it shall be a condition to 801 FO’s obligation to close that 801 FO (and any guarantors) be fully released and discharged from all liability with respect to said indebtedness, and the form and substance of said instruments of release shall be reasonably acceptable to 801 FO.

 

The Option herein granted shall terminate and become null and void if not exercised and closed as provided herein within 180 days after the Effective Date of the Agreement. In addition, the Option herein granted shall terminate and become null and void in the event of any termination of the Agreement, or in the event the Purchaser does not (i) exercise the Option by written notice delivered to 801 FO before the Makor Closing and (ii) close upon the purchase of the 801 FO Undivided Interest as provided herein simultaneously with the Makor Closing.


801 FO hereby waives its right of first offer contained in Section 9.1 of the TIC Agreement and agrees that, if Purchaser does not elect to purchase the 801 FO Undivided Interest, upon the purchase by Purchaser of Makor’s Undivided Interest, the TIC Agreement shall remain in force and effect between 801 FO and Purchaser unless a new agreement is entered into by Purchaser and 801 FO at or prior to such purchase. (The parties acknowledge that the TIC Agreement has been amended to reflect Makor’s and 801 FO’s current respective undivided percentage interests in the Property (i.e., 63.86% and 34.14%, respectively).
