If taxes for 2005 are assessed on a unit-by-unit basis, Purchaser and Seller shall prorate taxes as of the Closing Date based upon the actual tax bill, if available, or an estimate by Seller, if unavailable, with Purchaser responsible for paying the full amount of the tax bill and Seller reimbursing Purchaser for Seller’s prorated share of those taxes.

This Subsection shall survive (continue to be effective after) Closing.

 

Property Tax Disclosure Summary. In accordance with Section 689.261, Florida Statutes, Purchaser should not rely on the Seller’s current property taxes as the amount of property taxes that the Purchaser may be obligated to pay in the year subsequent to purchase.

28.4.4 At Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for utility, cable or interactive communication deposits or hook-up fees, which Seller may have advanced prior to Closing for the Hotel Unit. The amount of this charge is unknown.

 

ARTICLE XXIX

FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY: CONDEMNATION

 

29.1 Seller agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice of any fire or other casualty occurring at the Property between the date hereof and the date of the Closing provided for hereunder, or of any actual or threatened condemnation of all or part of the Property, or any appurtenance thereto, or of any actual, proposed or threatened modification or termination of the current access to or from the Property.

 

29.2 Risk of loss to the Hotel Unit by fire or other casualty until the Closing Date is assumed by Seller, but without any obligation of Seller to repair or replace such loss or damage to the Hotel Unit, and in the event of any such casualty, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and Purchaser shall not have the right to reject title or receive a credit against or abatement in the Purchase Price. In such event, Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable period of time within which to complete necessary repairs or replacement. Any proceeds received from insurance or in satisfaction of any claim or action in connection with such loss or damage shall (subject to the rights of the Board of Directors of the Condominium Association in the event the Declaration shall have been filed) belong entirely to Seller and if such proceeds shall be paid to Purchaser, Purchaser shall promptly upon receipt thereof turn same over to the Seller.

 

29.3 If Seller notifies Purchaser that it does not elect to repair or replace any such loss or damage or in the event that the Condominium Association does not resolve to make such repairs or replacement pursuant to the Declaration, then this Agreement shall be deemed cancelled and of no further force and effect, and Escrow Agent shall refund to Purchaser the Deposit, whereupon the parties shall be released from any further obligations under this Agreement except for the obligations that survive termination.

ARTICLE XXX

FORCE MAJEURE

 

30.1 The parties hereto agree, in the event the progress of the construction of the renovations to the Hotel Condominium is delayed due directly or indirectly by causes beyond the control of Seller, including without limitation, any of the following: rain, wind, flood and other acts of God; strikes, lockouts, boycotts or other labor union activities; riots, civil

 

22


commotion, or other acts of a public enemy; theft, vandalism, or other tortious or criminal acts of third parties; unavailability of materials, supplies or labor; imposition of governmental priority or allocations of materials, or other paramount acts of the sovereign; inspections; or changes ordered by inspectors of any public agency, then in such event, any time period or deadline set in this Agreement for completion of such work (including, without limitation, the Completion Date) shall be extended for a period equal to such delay (or for a longer period, if reasonable under the circumstances, to allow completion of such work). Seller shall make every reasonable and diligent effort to meet estimated construction schedules, but Seller shall not be obligated to make, provide or compensate for any accommodations or costs to Purchaser as a result of construction delays. Further, such delays shall not serve to cancel, amend, or diminish any of the Purchaser’s obligations herein undertaken.

 

ARTICLE XXXI

DEFAULT

 

If Purchaser, in breach of provisions of this Agreement, fails to conclude the transaction described herein, or otherwise fails to comply with any of the requirements on the part of the Purchaser to be performed hereunder, and Seller is capable of performing hereunder, Seller may retain the Deposit together with all accrued interest, as agreed upon and as liquidated damages as the result of such breach by the Purchaser, whereupon the parties shall be released and relieved of all other and further obligations or liabilities hereunder except for the liabilities that survive the termination of this Agreement. It is agreed by the parties that such amount being paid to Seller is a fair and reasonable measure of the damages which will be suffered by Seller in the event of such default, the parties recognizing that Seller will, in such event, have relinquished potential offers from other parties to purchase the property, the parties recognizing that such occurrences cannot be subject to the ascertainment of any exact amount of damages. Said liquidated and agreed upon damages are, however, bona fide provisions for such and are not a penalty.

 

If Seller defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, Purchaser may elect to receive the return of the Deposit, together with interest accrued thereon, or in the alternative seek specific performance of this Agreement or, in the case of a breach by Seller of Article VI, to seek damages in the amounts specified therein. Purchaser, at Purchaser’s option and in Purchaser’s sole discretion, may waive any default by Seller and close pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser’s remedies for a Seller default under this Agreement are limited to the remedies described in this Article XXXI. If Purchaser elects to seek specific performance of this Agreement such action must be filed and served on Seller within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date.
