Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Optionee may exercise the Purchase Option or terminate this Agreement at any time during the Term by providing written notice thereof to Owner (an “Exercise

 


Notice” or “Termination Notice,” as applicable) and otherwise complying with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Optionee’s Exercise Notice shall indicate either that (i) Optionee intends on constructing and opening a temporary slot parlor on lands adjacent to the Property prior to opening a slot parlor on the Property (the “Temporary Alternative”), or (ii) Optionee does not intend on taking the Temporary Alternative.

4. Exercise of Option. In the event of the exercise of the Purchase Option, the Property shall be conveyed to Optionee and Optionee shall deliver to Owner the Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined) at a closing (“Closing”) which shall take place on (a) the first (1st) business day following the one (1) year anniversary of the Exercise Notice should said Exercise Notice indicate that Optionee intends on taking the Temporary Alternative, (b) the first (1st) business day following the two hundred seventieth (270th) day after the Exercise Notice should said Exercise Notice indicate that Optionee does not intend on taking the Temporary Alternative, or (c) such other date as is mutually agreed upon by Optionee and Owner. At Closing, Owner shall (i) convey to Optionee, by special warranty deed, good and marketable fee simple title to the Property, insurable at regular rates without exception unless caused by Optionee, other than matters which do not and will not adversely affect the use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Property as a slot parlor casino and entertainment complex, as reasonably determined by Optionee (the “Permitted Exceptions”), (ii) execute and deliver to Optionee and Optionee’s title insurer a title affidavit of Owner in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Optionee and Optionee’s title insurer, (iii) deliver sole and exclusive possession and control of the Property to Optionee, free of all tenants, occupants and others with a right to or claiming possession (except as set forth in the Permitted Exceptions), and otherwise in generally the same condition as existed on the date hereof, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and (iv) execute and deliver to Optionee such other documents and/or instruments as may be reasonably required by Optionee and/or Optionee’s lender and/or title insurer in order to convey good, marketable and insurable fee simple title. At Closing, the real estate taxes and water and sewer rents shall be apportioned as of Closing and the parties shall make such other adjustments as are customary for similarly situated commercial properties. Owner and Optionee shall split equally, all state and local realty transfer taxes imposed as a result of such purchase and sale and shall pay same at Closing. At Closing, Optionee shall pay to Owner the sum of Fourteen Million Four Hundred Thousand and 00/100ths ($14,400,000.00) Dollars (the “Purchase Price”), by wire transfer or other immediately available funds. If the Purchase Option is exercised, but Owner fails to satisfy each of its obligations under this Agreement, then Optionee shall provide Owner with written notice thereof and Owner shall have thirty (30) days from such notice to cures all such defaults in which event the parties shall proceed to Closing. The obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive Closing.

5. Owner’s Representations and Warranties. Owner represents and warrants to Optionee, each of which representations and warranties shall be deemed repeated at and shall survive Closing, that

a. Owner is the sole owner of the Property and owns good and marketable fee simple title to same free and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than the Permitted Exceptions and such other matters as shall be satisfied and discharged of record at Closing;

b. Owner is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and is legally authorized to transact business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania;

c. Owner’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance and satisfaction in full of each of Owner’s obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of Owner and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Owner, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms;

 

2


d. to the best knowledge of Owner, no litigation or proceeding in any court or before any other governmental or quasi-governmental authority or other person or entity is currently pending or, threatened (i) with respect to the Property or any part thereof, or (ii) which seeks to enjoin Owner from entering into this Agreement or consummating the transaction contemplated herein including, but not limited to, any condemnation proceedings or other exercise of eminent domain;

e. neither the execution and delivery by Owner of this Agreement, the consummation of the transaction contemplated herein, nor compliance with the provisions hereof, violates, breaches, contravenes or conflicts with, or will violate, breach, contravene or conflict with, any existing note, bond, mortgage, debenture, indenture, trust, license, lease, instrument, decree, order, judgment or other agreement to which Owner is a party or by which it or any of its their assets (including, but not limited to, the Property) may be bound or affected which would prevent Owner from conveying to Optionee good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

f. to the best knowledge of Owner, no consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any person or governmental entity, is required to be obtained or made by Owner under any federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judicial or administrative order or decree, permit, license, approval, authorization or similar requirement in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Owner, the transaction contemplated herein and/or the satisfaction by Owner of any of Owner’s obligations hereunder which would prevent Owner from conveying to Optionee good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

Should Optionee determine that any of Owner’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are untrue or inaccurate, Optionee shall provide Owner with notice thereof and sixty (60) days to cure same.

6. Optionee Remedies. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Purchase Option is exercised but Owner does not or can not convey good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the Property to Optionee at Closing, then Optionee may as its exclusive remedy either (i) terminate this Agreement and Owner shall promptly return the Option Price to Optionee, or (ii) seek specific performance. In all other events, including in the event Owner fails to satisfy an obligation or breaches any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement (other than those obligations and/or representations covered by the preceding sentence), and whether or not Closing occurs, the Option Price shall be nonrefundable and retained by Owner, provided that Optionee shall have such rights and remedies as may be available at law or in equity.

7. Applications for Licensing and Development. The parties acknowledge and agree that the award to Optionee of a license to operate a gaming facility at the Property and the acquisition and maintenance of related development agreements and approvals are instrumental to Optionee. Accordingly, Owner covenants and agrees that it will not oppose Optionee and/or Optionee’s agents and representatives in applying for, securing and maintaining such licenses, approvals and other consents, permits and/or agreements as Optionee may deem necessary or desirable in connection with Optionee’s plans for the Property including, but not limited to, Optionee’s application for a Category 2 Slot License. Optionee shall provide Owner with periodic updates of Optionee’s progress in obtaining said license and related development agreements and approvals, provided that, Optionee shall not provide Owner with any environmental reports, studies and/or assessments produced by or for Optionee unless, and then only to

8. Right of Entry and Inspection; Indemnity; Insurance.

a. During the Term, Optionee and its representatives and contractors may at any reasonable time and from time to time, without unreasonably interfering with the business operations of Owner, enter upon the Property for the purposes of investigating and inspecting same, making surveys, maps and/or contour studies, performing test borings, soil tests and/or examinations, and conducting other studies including, but not limited to such environmental studies as Optionee may elect (collectively, the “Due Diligence Investigation”). Optionee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time during the Term upon written notice to Owner, in which event (i) all payments theretofore made by Optionee hereunder shall be retained by Owner, and (ii) neither Optionee nor Owner shall have any further liabilities or rights under this Agreement, except for any rights or liabilities which expressly survive such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, Owner shall have no obligation to remediate any issues identified during the course of the Due Diligence Investigation, nor shall Owner have any obligation to pay, reimburse or credit any monies to Optionee in connection with any such issues. Further, if Optionee exercises the Purchase Option and Closing occurs, all liabilities and/or conditions associated with the Property as of Closing, whether or not identified during the course of the Due Diligence Investigation, shall be Optionee’s sole responsibility. Optionee shall not provide Owner with any reports generated, or information obtained, as part of Optionee’s Due Diligence Investigation unless, and then only to the extent, specifically requested by Owner in writing.

b. Optionee covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Owner) and hold Owner harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) suffered or incurred by Owner and relating to Optionee’s inspection of or actions at the Property prior to Closing, but in each case only to the extent not attributable in any manner to the negligence or willful misconduct of Owner or anyone claiming by or through Owner, or the employees, contractors, agents, representatives or invitees of any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the discovery of any substance which constitutes a hazardous substance, hazardous waste, radioactive substance and/or radioactive waste (collectively, “Hazardous Substances”) under any federal, state or local statute, law, ordinance, order, rule or regulation, whether now in existence or hereafter adopted (collectively, “Environmental Laws”) or other negative conditions not caused by Optionee at the Property during the course of the Due Diligence Investigation and/or any legal duty to report same or the reporting of same to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection or other federal, state or local governmental authority, shall not serve as the basis for a claim for indemnification by Owner against Optionee pursuant to this paragraph (b). The obligations of Optionee pursuant to this paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

c. Prior to any entry onto the Property by Optionee or any of Optionee’s representatives, Optionee or its representatives or contractors, shall furnish Owner with a copy of a certificate of insurance for Optionee and its representatives from a duly licensed insurance company, reasonably acceptable to Owner, indicating that insurance policies are in effect for commercial liability coverage for death or injury to persons and/or property of not less than Three Million and 00/100ths ($3,000,000.00) Dollars per occurrence/claim and in the aggregate together with evidence of the payment of all associated premiums.

d. Owner represents and warrants to Optionee, each of which representations and warranties shall be deemed repeated at and shall survive Closing, that (i) prior to the date hereof, to Owner’s actual knowledge as of the date hereof, Owner has delivered complete copies of all environmental reports, studies and/or assessments previously obtained by Owner and relating, in whole or in part, to the Property (collectively, the “Owner Reports”) which are listed on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof, (ii) Owner has no actual knowledge of any other environmental reports, studies and/or assessments relating to the Property or any part thereof, except as may be referenced in the Owner Reports and except for reports, studies and/or assessments which were produced prior to the Owner Reports and which address the same environmental issues as those in the Owner Reports, and (iii) Owner has no actual knowledge of any Hazardous Substances in, on, under or about the Property in violation of any Environmental Laws, except as described in the Owner Reports.

Each of the parties agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims based upon or relating to a breach of the foregoing representation, warranty and/or covenant by such party. The obligations of the parties pursuant to this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
