As used in this Agreement, the “Deposit” shall mean the Initial Deposit and Additional Deposit, collectively, plus any interest accrued while in the possession of Escrow Agent.
          4.2 Assumption of Existing Debt. Buyer shall have the right but not the obligation, which right shall be exercised by Buyer if at all in its sole and absolute discretion, to assume the existing mortgage loan (the “Existing Loan”) encumbering the Property in favor of Great Florida Bank (the “Existing Lender”), provided that: (a) Buyer provides written notice to Seller of its intention to assume the Existing Loan at least thirty (30) days prior to Closing, (b) the Existing Lender consents to such assumption, (c) there shall be no delay in the Closing as a result of such assumption and such assumption, whether completed or not, shall not affect Buyer’s obligation to close upon the Closing Date.

          5.1. Due Diligence Deliveries By Seller.

2


 

the Existing Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined), utility bills and any and all other pertinent data which it has in its possession or control, including without limitation those items received from the immediate predecessor-in-title to the Property in connection with Seller’s due diligence investigation of the Property (collectively, the “Due Diligence Items”) for review by Buyer. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Seller makes no representation whatsoever regarding the accuracy or completeness of any of the Due Diligence Items delivered to Buyer pursuant to this Section.
          5.2. Due Diligence Investigation. From the Effective Date until the date which is thirty (30) days after the Effective Date (the “Due Diligence Period”), Buyer may investigate and research and approve or disapprove of the physical, developmental, and economic status and feasibility of the Property. The matters subject to Buyer’s approval under this Section include, but shall not be limited to, marketing studies, land use and legal due diligence, engineering studies, soils tests, physical inspections, and environmental surveys with respect to the Property. In order to facilitate Buyer’s investigation and analysis under this Section 5.2, Seller grants Buyer the right to conduct such inspections, reviews, examinations, and tests on the Property as Buyer deems necessary or desirable to investigate the physical condition of the Property, as well as access to relevant information relating to the Property within Seller’s possession or control (but, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Seller makes no representation regarding the accuracy or completeness of such information). On or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall notify Seller as to which of the Contracts it shall assume at Closing.
     Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that the existing tenant currently occupying the Property (the “Existing Tenant”) is scheduled to vacate the Property on or before August 13, 2006 (subject to removal of personal property by August 31, 2006). In the event the Existing Tenant has not vacated the Property and the Existing Tenant’s personal property is not removed on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, (a) the Due Diligence Period shall be extended on a day-for-day basis until such time as the Existing Tenant does in fact vacate the Property and the Existing Tenant’s personal property is removed, and (b) in the event the Due Diligence Period is extended past September 30, 2006 in accordance with the prior clause, the Closing Date shall automatically be extended on a day-for-day basis for the number of days equal to the number of days following September 30, 2006 that the Existing Tenant remains in possession of the Property.
     Buyer shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion, which right shall be exercised by Buyer providing written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, to terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason, in which event (a) neither Buyer nor Seller will have any further obligation to the other party under this Agreement (except to the extent of any indemnities under this Agreement with respect to events occurring before such termination, which indemnities shall survive any such termination), and (b) Escrow Agent shall, without requiring any further instructions, immediately return the Deposit plus any interest accrued thereon to Buyer. If Buyer has not so notified Seller and terminated this Agreement on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then, subject to its termination rights under Sections 5.3, 5.4 and 17 hereof, Buyer shall be obligated to proceed to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
          5.3. Status of Title and Survey. Buyer may obtain at its sole cost and expense an ALTA/ACSM survey of the Property (the “Survey”) and a commitment for Title Insurance (the “Title Commitment”) for an ALTA Owner’s Policy to be issued by a title insurance company of Buyer’s choice (the “Title Company”). Buyer shall have until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (such date for Buyer’s approval or disapproval of status of title, the “Title Approval Date”) to approve or disapprove title matters. If Buyer disapproves of any of the matters shown in the Title Commitment or the Survey

3


 

(which shall also include UCC-1 Financing Statements filed with the Florida Secretary of State) (“Disapproved Title Exceptions”) before the Title Approval Date and evidences its disapproval by giving written notice (“Buyer’s Title Notice”) of its disapproval to Escrow Agent and Seller on or before the Title Approval Date, then on or before ten (10) days after the Title Approval Date, Seller shall notify Buyer of those Disapproved Title Exceptions that Seller shall cause to be deleted from the Title Policy (as defined below) or Survey, as applicable (the “Seller’s Response Notice”); provided, however that Seller shall be obligated to cause all Monetary Encumbrances (as hereinafter defined) to be satisfied by Seller (or otherwise transferred to bond) at or prior to Closing; provided, further, however, that if Seller fails to provide the Seller’s Response Notice within ten (10) days following Seller’s receipt of the Buyer’s Title Notice, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any of the Disapproved Title Exceptions (other than any Monetary Encumbrances which it is obligated to cure). Within ten (10) days following Buyer’s receipt of the Seller’s Response Notice (or twenty (20) days following Seller’s receipt of the Buyer’s Title Notice to the extent Seller fails to send a Seller’s Response Notice), Buyer may, by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, either (a) waive its prior disapproval of the remaining Disapproved Title Exceptions, in which event such remaining Disapproved Title Exceptions shall cease to be Disapproved Title Exceptions, or (b) terminate this Agreement, in which event (i) neither Buyer nor Seller will have any further obligation to the other party under this Agreement (except to the extent of any indemnities under this Agreement with respect to events occurring before such termination, which indemnities shall survive any such termination), and (ii) Escrow Agent shall, without requiring any further instructions, immediately return the Deposit plus any interest accrued thereon to Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer’s failure to provide written notice within the ten (10) day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of the remaining Disapproved Title Exceptions. Buyer shall have the continuing right to receive updates of, or endorsements to, the Title Commitment and Survey and Seller shall be obligated to remove at or prior to Closing all new matters which may be raised as objections by Buyer, unless the same are caused by Buyer.
          5.4. Owner’s Policy. On or before the Closing, Title Company must be prepared to issue to Buyer an Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance for the Property (the “Title Policy”) effective as of the Closing Date, collectively insuring Buyer in the amount of the Purchase Price that fee simple title to the Property will be vested in Buyer upon Closing, subject to (a) liens for taxes and assessments not yet due and payable or delinquent, (b) those exceptions to title described in the Title Commitment other than the Disapproved Title Exceptions, and (c) those matters appearing in any updates of, or endorsements to, the Title Commitment to the extent the same are caused by Buyer. Except as specifically provided in Section 5.3 above or the following sentence, Seller shall not be in default under this Agreement and shall not be liable to Buyer for the failure to remove any item identified by the Title Company as an exception to title. Seller shall only be in default under this Agreement with respect to title issues if Seller fails to cause the removal from the Title Policy of (i) a Monetary Encumbrance, or (ii) any matter appearing in the chain of title after the effective date of the Title Commitment and shown as an exception in an endorsement to, or update of, the Title Commitment or the Survey, unless the same is caused by Buyer, in which event Buyer shall be entitled to all legal and equitable remedies available to Buyer due to Seller’s default. As used in Sections 5.3 and 5.4, “Monetary Encumbrance” means a lien upon the Property, including without limitation mechanic’s or construction lien claims, that can be fully satisfied and removed as an exception to title (as determined by Title Company) by the payment of a liquidated amount of money.
          5.5. Pre-Closing Occupancy. Within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer or its permitted assignee hereunder shall enter into a lease with Seller (in the form of that contained in Exhibit “Battached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof (the “Occupancy Agreement”)) to occupy the Property from that date (the “Date of Occupancy”) until Closing (the date of execution of such Occupancy Agreement shall be the Commencement Date (as

4


 

therein defined)); provided, however, that (i) Buyer has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof; (ii) Buyer is not in default under this Agreement and the Additional Deposit has been received by Escrow Agent; (iii) this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, (iv) the Occupancy Agreement shall be triple net (net, net, net) and shall provide that Buyer shall pay for all operating expenses associated with the Property, including real estate taxes, casualty and public liability insurance, utilities, janitorial expenses and maintenance costs; provided, however, that in no event shall Buyer be responsible for making any debt service or other payments under the Existing Loan or any capital repairs or improvements to the Property; and (v) Buyer shall take occupancy of the Property pursuant to the Occupancy Agreement “as is”, without any representations or warranties of any kind, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and that Buyer’s taking possession of the Property shall be conclusive evidence that the Property is in a condition acceptable to the Buyer in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement as of the Date of Occupancy. The occurrence of an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Occupancy Agreement) under the Occupancy Agreement shall be a default under this Agreement, and the occurrence of a default under this Agreement shall be an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Occupancy Agreement) under the Occupancy Agreement, it being the intention of Buyer and Seller to cross-default this Agreement and the Occupancy Agreement so that a default (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) under one is a default under the other. Further, in the event that this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, the Occupancy Agreement shall automatically terminate as of such date.

          14.14 The minimum earned premium is equal to half (6 months) of the total annual premium due for the 12-month period from August 13, 2006, to August 12, 2007, and such amount is the maximum amount that would need to be paid if Seller’s insurance policy for the Property were terminated early.
          14.15 The provisions of this Section 14 shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months after the Closing.

Except for any internal corporate approvals which may be required, which shall be received prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period if so required, all requisite action (corporate, partnership, trust or otherwise) has been taken by Buyer in connection with entering into this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The individual executing this Agreement on behalf of Buyer has the legal power, right, and actual authority to bind Buyer to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement and all documents required by this Agreement to be executed by Buyer are and are valid, legally binding obligations of and enforceable against Buyer in accordance with their terms.
     16. Seller’s Covenants prior to Closing.
          16.1 Seller shall not modify the agreement with the Existing Tenant or any of the Contracts or enter into any new lease (whether written or oral), contract or other agreement affecting the Property or

10


 

any portion thereof or the use thereof, without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that no consent shall be needed for Seller to enter into a service contract so long as (x) it is terminable upon no more than thirty (30) days prior written notice, (y) Seller terminates the same prior to Closing, and (z) Seller provides Buyer with a copy of such service contract immediately following full execution of such contract. With respect to those Contracts which Buyer does not elect to assume prior to Closing, (a) Seller shall cause such Contracts to be terminated effective as of the Closing Date, and (b) Seller shall be responsible for any and all costs in connection with such terminations.
          16.2 Prior to the Date of Occupancy and subject to the provisions of Section 16.1 above, Seller shall operate the Property in the ordinary course of business prior to Date of Occupancy in the same manner as it is currently operating the Property, and shall maintain the Property in the same condition, wear and tear excepted.

          16.3 Seller shall use its best efforts to cause the Existing Tenant’s personal property to be removed from the Property prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.
     17. Condemnation; Destruction.
          17.1 If, before the Closing, a portion of the Property is taken by eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending or contemplated taking which has not been consummated), and suchtaking adversely affects access to the Property or the Buyer’s intended use of the Property, then Buyer shall have the option to either (a) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent given no later than ten (10) days after Buyer receives notice thereof, in which event (i) neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement (except to the extent of any indemnities under this Agreement with respect to events occurring before such termination, which indemnities shall survive any such termination), and (ii) Escrow Agent shall, without requiring any further instruction from Seller, immediately return to Buyer the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon, or (b) proceed with the Closing in which case Buyer shall be entitled to all condemnation awards and settlements. If such taking does not adversely affect access to the Property or the Buyer’s intended use of the Property, Buyer shall proceed to close this transaction in accordance with this Agreement, without modification of the terms of this Agreement, in which case Buyer shall be entitled to all condemnation awards and settlements.
          17.2 If the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty on or before the Closing Date, Seller immediately shall notify Buyer of such damage, or if Buyer is occupying the Property pursuant to the Occupancy Agreement, Buyer shall immediately notify Seller of such damage. If the cost of repair or the impairment to the value of the Property is less than $750,000 (as estimated by a licensed engineer or independent contractor reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller), Buyer and Seller shall proceed to close this purchase and sale transaction in accordance with this Agreement, without modification of its terms, in which event Buyer shall be entitled to an assignment of the proceeds of all insurance relating to such fire or other casualty (which shall include half of all deductibles payable related to any claim for insurance proceeds, provided, however, that Buyer shall be responsible for paying all the deductible payable (on any claim) up to an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the maximum deductible payable under Seller’s insurance coverage (that is, 50% of $337,150.00) before Seller shall be obligated to pay the balance, if any, of the deductible payable). If the cost of repair of the Property so damaged, or the impairment to the value of the Property exceeds $750,000 (as estimated by a licensed engineer or independent contractor reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller), Buyer may either (a) terminate this Agreement and receive the return of the Deposit, in which case neither party will have any additional

11


 

rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (b) elect to proceed to close this transaction in accordance with this Agreement, without modification of the terms of this Agreement, in which case Buyer is entitled to an assignment of the proceeds of all insurance relating to such fire or other casualty (which shall include half of all deductibles payable related to any claim for insurance proceeds, provided, however, that Buyer shall be responsible for paying all the deductible payable (on any claim) up to an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the maximum deductible payable under Seller’s insurance coverage (that is, 50% of $337,150.00) before Seller shall be obligated to pay the balance, if any, of the deductible payable).
     18. Brokers. Seller and Buyer each represents and warrants to the other that there are no real estate brokers involved in this transaction other than Antonio Puente, as agent of CB Richard Ellis, Inc., and Fairchild Partners, Inc. (the “Brokers”) and that neither has dealt with, negotiated through or communicated with any other broker in connection with this transaction. Upon Closing, Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of real estate brokerage commissions to the Brokers each in the amount of $233,750.00 (for a total of $467,500) (the “Commissions”). Seller and Buyer each agrees to and does hereby indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against the payment of any commission to any person or entity claiming by, through or under Seller or Buyer, as applicable. The representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Section 18 shall extend to any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs) arising as a result of such claims and shall survive the Closing.
     19. No Reliance — As-Is. Buyer acknowledges that it is purchasing the Property in reliance solely on: (i) Buyer’s inspection of the Real Property, the Personal Property and the Improvements; (ii) Buyer’s independent verification of the truth of any documents made available to Buyer; and (iii) the opinions and advice concerning the Property of consultants and attorneys engaged by Buyer. Buyer acknowledges that before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period Buyer will have performed all of its due diligence investigations of and with respect to the Property as Buyer deems appropriate, including engineering studies, soils tests, environmental surveys and testing, physical inspections, ALTA or other surveys, and market analyses as well as Buyer’s evaluation of the condition and status of the Personal Property and Improvements and the operation and future prospects of the Property. Upon the date that Buyer takes occupancy of the Property pursuant to the Occupancy Agreement, Buyer accepts the Property and all matters relating to the Property in their “as is” condition or status as of the Closing Date, including such matters as: soils and geological condition, topography, area and configuration of the Real Property; the age and condition of the Improvements and Personal Property; the existence of any hazardous or toxic substances or materials, construction defects or other matters which would or could necessitate abatement or remediation action by the Property’s owner; any physical or mechanical defects in the Improvements or Personal Property; any easement, license or encroachment which is not a matter of public record, whether or not visible upon inspection of the Property, the zoning and other land use regulations applicable to the Property; and any other matter relating to the Property including, but not limited to, value, title, income, feasibility, cost, marketing and investment return. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller is not making any express or implied warranties or representations of any kind or character with respect to the Property except for those representations and warranties expressly set forth in this agreement or in the documents delivered to buyer at closing. In particular but not by way of limitation, except as expressly

12


 

set forth in this Agreement or in the documents delivered to buyer at closing, Seller makes no warranty or representation, express or implied, relating to compliance of the Improvements with current building codes, including without limitation those relating to updated or revised standards for plumbing, electrical, structural or environmental matters. Buyer warrants and represents that it has not relied on and will not rely on, either directly or indirectly, any warranty or representation of Seller not explicitly set forth in this Agreement.
     20. Indemnity. In consideration of Seller’s permission to Buyer and its agents to perform investigations and testing on and about the Property, Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller, Seller’s officers, employees, agents, contractors, successors, assigns, and affiliates (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), and the Property from all claims, costs, liens, actions and judgments (including Seller’s attorneys’ fees and defense costs) resulting from Buyer’s investigation of the Property, its attempts to obtain any regulatory approvals in connection with the Property, or otherwise caused by Buyer or any of its employees, agents or independent contractors. Buyer shall, at Buyer’s sole cost, promptly repair any damage resulting from its activities on the Property and restore the Property to their condition before Buyer or any of its agents first entered the Property. If the Closing does not occur on or before the Closing Date for any reason other than a breach of this Agreement by Seller, Buyer shall provide Seller, at no cost to Seller, copies of all reports and materials derived from Buyer’s investigation of the Property.
     21. Like-Kind Exchange. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller in effecting a tax deferred exchange of the Property under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code so long as no unreimbursed additional costs or liabilities are incurred by Buyer. Likewise, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in effecting a tax deferred exchange of the Property under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code so long as no unreimbursed additional costs or liabilities are incurred by Seller.
     22. Special Assessments. Any and all certified, confirmed and ratified special assessment liens as of the Date of Occupancy (and not as of the Closing Date) shall be paid by Seller. Pending liens as of the Date of Occupancy shall, at Closing, be assumed by Buyer.
     23. Waiver of Trial by Jury. Seller and Buyer hereby voluntarily, knowingly, and intentionally waive any and all rights to trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement.
     24. Further Assurances. Each party to this Agreement shall execute and deliver all instruments and documents and take all actions as may be reasonably required or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.
     25. Counterparts and Exhibits. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original and all of which together constitute one document. All exhibits attached to and referenced in this Agreement are incorporated into this Agreement.
     26. Time of Essence. Time and strict and punctual performance are of the essence with respect to each provision of this Agreement.
     27. Attorney’s Fees. The prevailing party in any litigation, arbitration, mediation, bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding (“Proceeding”) relating to the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement may recover from the unsuccessful party all costs, expenses, and actual attorney’s fees

13


 

(including expert witness and other consultants’ fees and costs) relating to or arising out of (a) the Proceeding (whether or not the Proceeding proceeds to judgment), and (b) any post-judgment or post-award proceeding including, without limitation, one to enforce or collect any judgment or award resulting from the Proceeding. All such judgments and awards shall contain a specific provision for the recovery of all such subsequently incurred costs, expenses, and actual attorney’s fees. The provisions of this Section 27 shall survive the Closing.
     28. Governing Law, Venue and Jurisdiction. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, irrespective of Florida’s choice-of-law principles. Notwithstanding the location of the Property, all actions and proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement shall be tried and litigated exclusively in the State courts located in the County of Miami-Dade, State of Florida, which courts have personal jurisdiction and venue over each of the parties to this Agreement for the purpose of adjudicating all matters arising out of or related to this Agreement.

     29. Modification. This Agreement may be modified only by a contract in writing executed by the party to this Agreement against whom enforcement of the modification is sought.

     31. Interpretation. Whenever the context so requires in this Agreement, all words used in the singular may include the plural (and vice versa) and the word “person” includes a natural person, a corporation, a firm, a partnership, a joint venture, a trust, an estate or any other entity. The terms “includes” and “including” do not imply any limitation.

The paragraph and section headings in this Agreement: (a) are included only for convenience, (b) do not in any manner modify or limit any of the provisions of this Agreement, and (c) may not be used in the interpretation of this Agreement. Each provision of this Agreement is valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement (or the application of such provision to any person or circumstance) is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, are not affected by such invalidity or unenforceability. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “day” means any calendar day and the term “business day” means any calendar day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day designated as a national holiday under federal law. Any act permitted or required to be performed under this Agreement upon a particular day which is not a business day may be performed on the next business day with the same effect as if it had been performed upon the day appointed.

Buyer may not assign its rights under this Agreement to any person or entity, without the prior written consent of Seller which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that no consent shall be needed with respect to any transfer by Buyer to an entity in which the majority of the controlling or managing ownership interests are owned by Buyer or by the principal owners of Buyer or by joint venture arrangement in which Buyer

14


 

is a principal member. Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of any such assignment and shall provide to Seller with such notification a copy of the assignment agreement. No assignment by Buyer of any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement relieves Buyer of any of its obligations under this Agreement unless Seller expressly agrees to such release in writing. Any purported assignment in violation of the terms of this Agreement shall be void Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the successors-in-interest and assigns of each party to this Agreement.
     33. Notices. Each notice and other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement (“Notice”) must be in writing. Notice is duly given to another party upon: (a) hand delivery to the other party, (b) receipt by the other party when sent by facsimile to the address and number for such party set forth below (provided, however, that the Notice is not effective unless a duplicate copy of the facsimile Notice is promptly given by one of the other methods permitted under this paragraph), (c) three business days after the Notice has been deposited with the United States postal service as first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed to the party as set forth below, or (d) the next business day after the Notice has been deposited with a reputable overnight delivery service, postage prepaid, addressed to the party as set forth below with next-business-day delivery guaranteed, provided that the sending party receives a confirmation of delivery from the delivery-service-provider.

     members, employees, legal counsel, accountants, engineers, architects, financial advisors, lender(s) and similar professionals and consultants to the extent such party deems it necessary and appropriate in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, (2) where such information is not a part of the public domain, or (3) as otherwise required by law or regulation.
     39. Instructions to Escrow Agent. This Agreement constitutes instructions to Escrow Agent.
          39.1 Escrow Agent shall not be bound in any way by any other agreement or contract between Seller and Buyer, whether or not Escrow Agent has knowledge thereof. Escrow Agent’s only duties and responsibilities with respect to the Deposit shall be to hold the Deposit and other documents delivered to it as agent and to dispose of the Deposit and such documents in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Escrow Agent may, at the expense of Seller and Buyer, consult with counsel and accountants in connection with its duties under this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the parties hereto for any act taken, suffered or permitted by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel and

16


 

accountants. Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any action hereunder that may, in its reasonable judgment, result in any liability to it unless Escrow Agent shall have been furnished with reasonable indemnity satisfactory in amount, form and substance to Escrow Agent.
          39.2 Seller and Buyer hereby indemnify Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, costs, penalties, losses, actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, or any other expenses, fees, or charges of any character or nature, which it may incur or with which it may be threatened, directly or indirectly, arising from, or in any way connected with, this Agreement, and Buyer and Seller further indemnify Escrow Agent against any and all expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, whether suit be brought or not and whether at the pretrial, trial or appellate levels, and the cost of defending any action or resisting any claim, whether litigation is actually instituted.
          39.3 All parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any party or person whomsoever for any action taken in good faith, including, but not limited to, the misdelivery to Buyer or Seller of documents or funds subject to escrow hereunder, unless such action, including misdelivery, shall be due to willful and malicious breach of this Agreement or gross negligence on the part of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Deposit. If there is any dispute as to whether Escrow Agent is obligated to deliver the Deposit or as to whom the Deposit is to be delivered, Escrow Agent shall not make any delivery, but shall hold the Deposit until receipt by Escrow Agent of an authorization in writing, signed by all the parties having an interest in the dispute, directing the disposition of the Deposit, or, in the absence of authorization, Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit until the final determination of the rights of the parties in an appropriate proceeding. Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity or validity of any notice, instruction, instrument, document or other item delivered to it, and it shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with any written notice, direction or instruction given to it under this Agreement and believed by it to be authentic. If written authorization is not given, or proceedings for a determination are not begun, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date and diligently continued, Escrow Agent may, but is not required to, bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Deposit with a court of the State of Florida pending a determination. Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses of any action or proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in its capacity as Escrow Agent, by the party determined not to be entitled to the Deposit. Upon making delivery of the Deposit in the manner provided in this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall have no further liability hereunder. In no event shall Escrow Agent be under any duty to institute, defend or participate in any proceeding that may arise between Seller and Buyer in connection with the Deposit. The parties recognize that the Escrow Agent is the law firm representing Buyer, and hereby agree that such law firm may continue to represent Buyer in any litigation pursuant to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any failure of the depository.
