In consideration of Ten and No/100 ($10.00) Dollars in hand paid by Purchaser to Seller, the mutual covenants herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged. Purchaser and Seller, intending to be legally bound, do hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Sell and to Purchase. Seller agrees to sell and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase and acquire from Seller, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the following: That certain tract or parcel of land, including all improvements, located at 3000 Ember Drive, Decatur, DeKalb County, Georgia, as more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (hereinafter referred to as the “Property”).

Purchaser shall deliver to the law firm of Cohen Pollock Merlin & Small, P.C., (“Escrow Agent”) the sum of Ninety Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($90,000.00) (the “Deposit”). The Deposit shall be held by Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Account”) in a non-interest bearing account, and applied to the Purchase Price (hereinafter defined) at the Closing (hereinafter defined) or disbursed as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
3. Purchase Price. The “Purchase Price” for the Property shall be equal to One Million Eight Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,800,000.00). The Purchase Price, as adjusted by the closing prorations described in Paragraph 4 hereof and as reduced by the Deposit, shall be paid by Purchaser at the Closing in cash or other immediately available funds by wire transfer.
4. Closing Prorations. The following amounts or items shall be prorated, credited or added to the Purchase Price at Closing, and except to the extent otherwise provided herein, shall adjust the Purchase Price. All prorations shall be made as of midnight of the day prior to Closing such that Purchaser shall receive all income and shall be responsible for all expenses on the Closing Date (hereinafter defined).
(a) Taxes. At Closing, all state, county and municipal ad valorem taxes, assessments and similar charges, if any, with respect to the Property will be prorated as provided above based upon taxes for such year, or if said ad valorem tax amounts for such year are not available, upon the ad valorem taxes for the previous or subsequent year, Upon on receipt of the tax bill for the Property, the parties agree to re-prorate the taxes, if necessary, based on such bill and to adjust between themselves any differences between such bill and the proration made at Closing based on the previous year’s tax bill. The provisions of this subparagraph (a) shall survive Closing.
-1- |
(b) Utilities, Rent and Other Expenses. Seller shall cause all the utility meters (if any) to be read as of the Closing Date, if practicable, and shall be responsible for the cost of all utilities used prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be responsible for the cost of all utilities used on and after the Closing Date. If an actual reading is not practicable as of the Closing Date, the cost shall be reasonably estimated by Seller and Purchaser (or if Seller and Purchaser fail to agree, by the Title Company, as hereinafter defined) and shall be final. Utilities shall include, without limitation, electricity, gas, sewer and water. All rents as to any portion of the Property shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. The provisions of his subparagraph (b) shall survive Closing,
(c) Assessments. If, as of the Closing Date, the Properly or any part thereof shall be or shall have been affected by any assessment or assessments which are or may become payable in annual installments, Seller shall pay such assessments in full prior to or at the Closing.
5. Documents to Be Delivered Prior to Closing. Intentionally omitted.
6. Inspections. Commencing upon the Effective Date and continuing until five (5) business days prior to Closing, Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s expense, have the right to access and make reasonable examinations and inspections of the Property, subject to the rights of the current tenant, and the contracts, books, records, leasing files, plans, reports and inspections relating to the condition of the Property, notices to or from third parties, and leases and accounts of Seller regarding the Property to the extent Seller possesses same. Purchaser’s access as aforementioned shall be provided upon reasonable request to Seller for same, and all documentation requested by Purchaser, to the extent in Seller’s actual possession, shall be made available at the Property during normal business hours. Purchaser agrees to promptly repair at Purchaser’s expense any material damage caused by Purchaser to the Property as a result of Purchaser’s inspections. If, prior to ten (10) business days from the Effective Date (the “Inspection Period”), Purchaser determines in its sole and absolute discretion on that the condition of the Property is unsatisfactory for any reason, Purchaser shall have the option to terminate this Agreement by serving written notice of termination on Seller. If Purchaser provides such written notice to terminate prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser upon such termination, and this Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, except to the extent any such provisions, by their terms, expressly survive termination hereof. If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, the Deposit shall become non-refundable except in the event of a default by Seller, or as otherwise specifically provided for herein. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless of, from and against any and all claims and losses whatsoever arising out of or relating to the exercise by Purchaser of the inspection rights provided in this Section, including such claims and losses as arise from or relate to the exercise of such rights by or through agents and/or contractors retained by Purchaser. The restoration, indemnity and hold harmless agreements provided in this Section shall survive the termination, lapse, breach or closing of this Agreement Purchaser agrees to promptly provide to Seller, but in no event later than three (3) days from receipt of same, copies of any and all reports, studies, surveys or other documents obtained by Purchaser as a result of its inspections pursuant to this Paragraph.
-2- |
As-ls Sale. Purchaser expressly acknowledges that Purchaser has had and will have an opportunity to evaluate the Property and to make full inquiry of Seller as to all matters deemed relevant by Purchaser in evaluating the Property. Purchaser expressly acknowledges that the Property is being purchased “as is”, “where is” and “with all faults,” latent and patent, without recourse to or against Seller or any Seller Party (hereinafter defined), and releases and waives any claims against Seller or any Seller Party for any matter pertaining to the character or condition of the Property, except for a breach of the representations and warranties of Seller expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as expressly set forth herein, Seller has not made and will not make, and hereby expressly disclaims, any warranties or representations of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, with respect or relating to the Property, including without limitation, merchantability, habitability or fitness for any particular purpose of the Property or any part thereof. Purchaser expressly acknowledges that it is not authorized to rely, has not relied, and will not rely on any representation, statement or warranty of Seller, or of any agent or representative of Seller, not expressly set forth herein. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive a Refund of the Earnest Money.
7. Title. At Closing, Seller shall convey, transfer, grant and set over to Purchaser insurable, marketable, good, and indefeasible fee simple title to the Property, free and clear of all monetary liens, mortgages, leases (except for the existing leases for tenants of the Property), and other monetary encumbrances whatsoever except only those encumbrances and exceptions set forth on Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and those encumbrances and exceptions approved in writing (or deemed approved hereunder) by Purchaser prior to Closing (“Permitted Title Exceptions”). In all events, such title shall be insurable by a nationally reputable Title Insurance Company on its standard form of ALTA Form B owner’s policy at its standard rate with exception only to the Permitted Title Exceptions and with all standard exceptions being removed or deleted. If Purchaser’s examination of title discloses any defects in title, then Purchaser shall notify Seller, no later than fifteen (15) days prior to Closing, of such defects or objections (“Purchaser’s Objection Notice”). Seller, within five (5) days of receipt of Purchaser’s Objection Notice, shall notify Purchaser in writing (“Seller’s Cure Notice”) of any matters in Purchaser’s Objection Notice which Seller elects to cure; provided, however, that, anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding. Seller shall not be required to cure any liens or encumbrances identified in Purchaser’s Objection Notice. In the event Seiler informs Purchaser in Seller’s Cure Notice that Seller is unable to cure or unwilling to cure any objections raised in Purchaser’s Objection Notice (or in the event Seller does not timely provide Seller’s Cure Notice), Purchaser shall be entitled to, either (i) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller delivered no later than two (2) business days prior to Closing, and receive the return of the Deposit, or (ii) to waive such objection and proceed to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. In the event Purchaser fails to make such election within five (5) days after the latter of (x) Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s Cure Notice or (y) the date by which Seller’s Cure Notice was required to be delivered, Purchaser shall be deemed to have selected (ii) above. Purchaser shall have the right to re-examine title to the Property up to and including the Closing Date and raise any additional objections not appearing of public record prior to Purchaser’s submission of Purchaser’s Objection Notice. If Seller shall not correct or remove the defects or objections which Seller has agreed to cure by Closing or should Purchaser learn of any other defects or objections to Seller’s title not permitted by the terms hereof after the date of the initial title examination by Purchaser, then Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole discretion or judgment, may:
-3- |
(a) accept the Property with such defects, provided Purchaser, may satisfy and discharge any lien, mortgage, or other security interest encumbering the Property, and deduct such payment therefor from the Purchase Price; or
(b) elect to terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and thereupon Purchaser shall have Purchaser’s rights and remedies under Paragraph 9 hereof.
If Purchaser does not make its election as to the foregoing by the then established closing date, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (a) and shall promptly close on this Agreement.
8. Default.
(a) Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser defaults under this Agreement and Seller has not defaulted under this Agreement and all conditions precedent and contingencies to Purchaser’s obligations are satisfied, then, upon written notice of default to Purchaser, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy for such default, Escrow Agent shall pay to Seller the Deposit. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that it is impossible to estimate precisely the damages which might be suffered by Seller upon Purchaser’s default and that the Deposit represents a reasonable estimation of such damages. Seller’s retention of the Deposit is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages as provided under state law. The right to receive and retain the Deposit as full liquidated damages is Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of default hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided. The Deposit shall constitute the stipulated damages of Seller, and Purchaser shall thereupon be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities arising out of this Agreement, except for the indemnities contained herein, it being agreed that the actual damages of Seller are impossible to ascertain and said amount represents the reasonable damages of Seller.
(b) Seller’s Default. If Seller breaches this Agreement, or any of the provisions herein, or if any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement is untrue, false or incorrect, or if Seiler shall not have performed any of Seller’s obligations herein set forth, then Purchaser shall be entitled to:
(i) close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, thereby waiving such breach, default or failure, provided, however that Purchaser may cure any breach, default or failure which is susceptible to cure by payment of money and deduct from the Purchase Price all sums so paid by Purchaser, together with all costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in affecting such cure; or
(ii) seek specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, so long as Purchaser commences such litigation against Seller within sixty (60) days of the alleged default; or
-4- |
(iii) receive an immediate return of the Deposit, together with all interest thereon, from Escrow Agent and this Agreement shall be null and void with neither party having any further obligations hereunder, except for those terms and conditions that by their express terms survive the termination hereof.
9. Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Property contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) will be held through an escrow with Escrow Agent on or before October 29, 2015 (the “Closing Date”) and shall be simultaneous with the closing of the purchase and sale of the property contemplated in the Tall Pines Agreement (defined herein), subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 14 and 20(i) below.

(iii) A certification complying with requirements of Sections 1445 and 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), by Seller that it is not a foreign person within the meaning of such sections, or satisfactory proof that Seller has elected to be treated as a United States entity for purposes of such sections, it being agreed and understood that Purchaser may withhold from the sales proceeds payable to Seller at Closing the amounts required to be withheld under Section 1445 of the Code, except and to the extent that Seller provides any documentation or certificate contemplated under Code Section 1445 (or the regulations issued thereunder) to reduce or eliminate such withholding.
(iv) A written statement as of the Closing Date reaffirming that all of the warranties and representations of Seller made in this Agreement are true and correct or stating which, if any, are not true and correct and describing the nature and details of such changes.
(v) Payment, satisfaction and discharge of any and all outstanding liens, mortgages, security interests or other encumbrances securing the payment of any indebtedness affecting the Property,

If, prior to the Closing, all or part of the Property shall be destroyed, damaged or subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation, expropriation or other proceeding, Seller shall so notify Purchaser, and Purchaser either may elect to (i) cancel this Agreement, in which event all parties shall be relieved and released of and from any further duties, obligations, rights or liabilities hereunder and the Deposit, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser, or (ii) Purchaser may declare this Agreement to remain in full force and effect and the purchase contemplated herein, subject to such damage or less any interest taken by eminent domain, expropriation or condemnation, shall be effected, and at Closing, Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to any awards and insurance proceeds or claims that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking or damage.
