5.    EVIDENCE OF TITLE. Seller shall, within five (5) days from the Effective Date, deliver to Buyer the Seller’s prior title insurance policy for the Property issued by a qualified title insurer. This Agreement is contingent upon Buyer being able to obtain, within thirty (30) days from the Effective Date, from a qualified title insurer selected by Buyer, a commitment agreeing to issue to Buyer, upon recording of the deed to Buyer, an Owner’s policy of title insurance in the amount of the purchase price, insuring title of the Buyer to the Property, subject only to liens, encumbrances, exceptions or qualifications set forth in this Agreement as Permitted Exceptions and as set forth on Exhibit “F” (“Permitted Exceptions”), and those which shall be discharged by Seller at or before Closing.

Buyer shall have seven (7) business days from date of receiving evidence of title, in the form of a commitment to insure, together with legible copies of all exceptions listed in the Commitment, to examine same. If Buyer objects to any exceptions or items contained therein, Buyer shall, within the above referenced seven (7) business day period, notify Seller in writing specifying defect(s). Seller shall have Thirty (30) days from receipt of notice within which to use its best efforts to remove said defect(s), and if Seller is unsuccessful in removing them within said time, Buyer shall have the option of either (1) accepting the title as it then is but using such portion of the Purchase Price as may be necessary to reduce or remove any such title defect, or (2) demanding a refund of the Deposit and the Additional Deposit paid hereunder which shall

forthwith be returned to Buyer and thereupon Buyer and Seller shall be released, as to one another, of all further obligations under the Agreement. At Closing the Buyer shall pay to Buyer’s Title Agent, Becker & Poliakoff, P.A., the necessary premium to procure issuance of the Owner’s title policy as above set forth.
6.   EXISTING MORTGAGE. Prior to Closing, Seller shall furnish a current estoppel letter as to the existing mortgage, if any, which shall be satisfied at Closing.
7.   SURVEY. Seller shall deliver to Buyer within Five (5) days of the Effective Date its existing survey unless the survey as contained in the Condominium Documents and previously provided to Buyer is accurate and no improvements or corrections have been made to said survey. Buyer, within thirty (30) days of the delivery of Seller’s survey, may have the Property re-surveyed at Buyer’s expense. If the Buyer’s survey or the Seller’s survey, certified by a Florida surveyor, shows any encroachment of said Property, or that improvements intended to be located on the Property in fact encroach on lands of others, or violate any of the covenants set forth in this Agreement, or contain any matters other than the Permitted Exceptions not approved or waived by Buyer, the same shall be treated as a Title Defect. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in any re-certification of such surveys as Buyer may require.
8.   UNDERTAKINGS OF SELLER: Seller shall, within Ten (10) days from the Effective Date, deliver to the Buyer the following documents (the “Submittals”):

      this Agreement, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller and the consummation by Seller of the transactions described herein having been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and the observance of all required formalities on the part of Seller, such that this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation by Seller of the transaction contemplated hereby, nor compliance by Seller with any of the provisions hereof will: (i) conflict with or result in a breach of or default under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Seller is a party or by which it or the Property is bound, or (ii) violate any order, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Seller or the Property.

  (o)   All of the warranties and representations of the Seller set forth in this Agreement shall be true upon the execution of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be repeated at and as of the Closing Date, and shall be true as of the Closing Date and shall survive the Closing of this transaction, for a period of twelve (12) months, unless specifically provided for to the contrary herein.
 
  (p)   In the event that Buyer becomes aware prior to Closing that any of Seller’s warranties or representations set forth in Article 9 of this Agreement that are material to Buyer’s intended purpose for the Property are not true on the Effective Date or at any time thereafter but prior to Closing, and in the event that Seller is unable to render any such representation or warranty true and correct as of the Closing Date, Buyer may

5


 

      either: (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent, in which event the Deposit and the Additional Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and the parties will be relieved of all further obligations hereunder, or (ii) elect to close under this Agreement notwithstanding the failure of such representation, in which event the Closing shall be deemed a waiver by Buyer of the failure of such representation and warranty.

11.   RISK OF LOSS. Seller shall bear all risk of casualty loss to Property occurring prior to Closing and shall maintain in full force and effect all hazard, casualty and liability insurance now in force and insuring the Property against loss and damage or destruction through the Closing Date.

  (a)   Rescind this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit and the Additional Deposit together with all interest thereon; or
 
  (b)   Close this transaction and be entitled to receive the full amount of any proceeds of such insurance payable on the account of loss, damage, or destruction. Seller shall maintain all present insurance in full force and effect through the Closing Date.
     In the event Buyer elects to close this transaction under subparagraph (b) of this Article, any loss shall be settled with the insurers only with the written consent of Buyer, and, if at Closing there shall be any losses which shall not have been settled or adjusted, Seller shall transfer and assign the insurance claim to Buyer, and this transaction shall be consummated in the same manner as if there had been no damage or destruction to Property. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Buyer agrees that Buyer shall not be entitled to rescind this transaction if any damage or destruction be less than Ten Thousand ($10,000.00) Dollars, provided such loss is compensable by insurance carriers insuring property and that such insurance proceeds are assigned to Buyer at Closing. The determination of the insurance adjuster for the respective insurance carrier regarding the extent of such loss shall be determinative as between Buyer and Seller relative to the value placed on such loss.
12.   SELLER’S OPERATIONS PRIOR TO CLOSING. Seller agrees that between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller shall:
  (a)   Not: (i) transfer any of the Property or create on the Property any easements, liens, mortgages, encumbrances or other interests that would affect the Property or Seller’s

  (iii)   Promptly comply with any and all notices of violation of laws or municipal ordinances, regulations, orders or requirements of departments of housing, building, fire, labor, health, or other state, or municipal departments or other governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Property or the use or operation thereof.
  (c)   Not enter into, extend, renew, or replace any existing service agreements in respect to the Property that are the responsibility of the owner of the Property, unless said service agreements contain a provision for cancellation at the option of either party upon not more than thirty (30) days notice.
 
  (d)   Promptly disclose in writing to Buyer any material change in any facts or circumstances which would make any of the representations, or other provisions of this Agreement inaccurate, incomplete or misleading.
 
  (e)   Cooperate with Buyer and exercise its best efforts to assist Buyer in carrying out the transactions contemplated herein, in obtaining all required approvals and authorizations, and in delivering all documents, instruments, or copies thereof or other information deemed reasonably necessary or useful by Buyer, including Seller’s cooperation with Buyer, as reasonably requested by Buyer, to facilitate and expedite the issuance of building permits.
 
  (f)   Be solely liable for the payment of all costs and expenses, liabilities, obligations and claims arising out of matters which shall have occurred during Seller’s ownership of the Property, Seller hereby agreeing to defend, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless, regardless whether or when the Closing shall have occurred, from any and all loss, cost or damage, (including without limitation legal fees and court costs) arising from, or related to, any of the foregoing.

13.   INSPECTION AND FEASIBILITY. Buyer shall have until thirty (30) calendar days from the Effective Date (hereinafter referred to as the “Inspection Period”) to determine, at Buyer’s sole expense and in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, whether the Property is suitable for Buyer’s intended use of the Property. Buyer, its employees, agents or independent contractors shall be permitted to come onto the Property, upon reasonable prior verbal notice, during the Inspection Period in order to examine the Property and perform their own investigations, engineering, surveying work, soil tests, percolation, permeability tests and feasibility studies thereon; all as may be necessary or desirable in the sole opinion of the Buyer in order for Buyer to evaluate the physical and economic characteristics of the Property, as well as other matters as may be deemed by the Buyer to be reasonably necessary in order for Buyer to generally evaluate the Property and determine the feasibility and advisability of Buyer’s purchasing of the same for the purposes and uses contemplated by the Buyer, including, without limitation, independent investigations and inquiries concerning the association governing the use and occupancy of the Property and pending assessments charged or to be charged by the association, all applicable zoning, environmental and other codes, ordinances, statutes, rules and regulations affecting the Property and its use as well as the availability of access and utility services thereto, the possibilities and conditions upon which the Property can be developed and used within the City of Weston, Broward County, Florida, flood plan analysis, suitability of access and financial feasibilities concerning the Property and all standards, guide lines, conditions, and criteria that such a development and/or use may require under all laws and ordinances applicable thereto including in said analysis any and all documentation that may be furnished Buyer pursuant to Articles 5, 7, 8 and 9 above. Buyer, as a condition to its exercise of such right of entry and inspection, specifically agrees to defend, indemnify, save and hold Seller harmless from and against any loss, damage, liens, liability, suit, claim, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from the exercise by the Buyer or its employees, agents, engineers, surveyors, architects, or consultants of such right of entry.
     In the event that the results of such inspections, investigations, and inquiries are, in Buyer’s sole opinion and within Buyer’s sole discretion, unacceptable to Buyer for any reason whatsoever, and Buyer so notifies Seller in writing of that fact and determination on or before 5:00 p.m. on the date of the expiration of the Inspection Period then, at Buyer’s option, Buyer may thereupon terminate this Agreement and receive back the Deposit and Additional Deposit hereunder together with all interest earned thereon and this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall cease, terminate and be null and void. The failure of the Buyer to notify Seller in writing of the unacceptability of such inspections, investigations and inquiries before the expiration of said Inspection Period, however, shall be deemed to be and constitute a waiver by Buyer of its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Article. Nothing contained herein shall prevent or prohibit Buyer from giving Seller notice that Buyer’s intended use of the Property is not feasible at any time within said Inspection Period. Provided however, that should Seller delay in delivering to the Buyer the Submittals as provided for in Paragraph 8 hereinabove, each day of such delay shall be added to the Inspection Period, i.e., should Seller complete delivery of the Submittals Five (5) days late, the Inspection Period shall be changed to thirty-five (35) days. However, in no event shall the Submittals be more than five (5) business days late.
     Upon termination of this Agreement by the Buyer, in accordance with this Article, the Buyer shall:

8


 

  (a)   Deliver to Seller possession and all right, title and interest in and the originals of all surveys, inspection reports, tests, results, verifications, engineering studies, geological studies, surveying work, plats, maps, results of test borings, studies, land use plans and the like prepared or conducted by or for Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;
 
  (b)   Reasonably restore the Property to the condition as existed as of the date of this Agreement, in reference to any work undertaken by Buyer pursuant to this Article 13; and
 
  (c)   Return to Seller all of the Submittals.
14.   THIS ARTICLE INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
15.   CLOSING DATE. Subject to all of the terms, covenants, and conditions hereof, the sale and purchase transaction contemplated in this Agreement shall be closed on or before December 1, 2004 unless the Closing Date shall be extended by the parties in writing in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, at the offices of the Buyer’s attorney, Becker & Poliakoff, P.A., provided that the Agreement has not been prior thereto terminated by the Buyer in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement. At such Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, in the form hereinabove specified, all monies required to complete Buyer’s payment of the Purchase Price of the Property, and Seller shall execute and deliver the statutory general warranty deed, and other documents contemplated and required to be executed and delivered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Seller and Buyer shall also execute and deliver such other documents at Closing as may be reasonably required of them in order to consummate and close the sale and purchase transaction contemplated in this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof.
16.   CLOSING DOCUMENTS. In addition to those documents otherwise required herein to be delivered, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the following documents at Closing satisfactory to Buyer and its counsel:
  (a)   Any set of “as-built” plans and specifications and a certificate of occupancy for the improvements on Property, if in Seller’s possession;
 
  (b)   A Bill of Sale by which Seller shall convey and warrant the title to (but not the condition of) the Personalty to Buyer;
 
  (c)   A Statutory General Warranty Deed, in recordable form, by which Seller shall convey the Property to Buyer, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions;

17.   PRORATIONS. The following matters concerning the Property will be apportioned between Buyer and Seller as of the Closing Date:
  (a)   All taxes and special and other assessments (including future installments of special assessments) which have become a lien upon the Property or any part thereof prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller and proof of such payment shall be given to Buyer prior to or at the Closing, or, at Seller’s option, credit shall be given to Buyer therefor. Taxes shall be prorated based on the current year’s tax with due allowance made for maximum allowable discount and any other exemptions if allowed for said year. If the Closing Date occurs on a date when the current year’s millage is not fixed, but the current year’s assessment is available, taxes will be prorated based upon such assessment and the prior year’s millage. If the current year’s assessment is not available, then taxes will be prorated on the prior year’s taxes; provided, however, if there are completed improvements on the Property by January 1st of the year in which the Closing Date occurs, which were not in existence on January 1st of the prior year, then taxes shall be prorated based upon the prior year’s millage and at an equitable assessment to be agreed upon between the parties, failing which, the parties shall use such informal assessment as may be developed by the County Property Appraiser. However, any tax proration based on such an estimate, at the request of either Buyer or Seller, shall be readjusted upon receipt of the final tax bill as a post-Closing adjustment. This provision shall survive the Closing;
 
  (b)   Utility meters shall be read on or immediately prior to the Closing Date and the amounts due as disclosed by such readings shall be paid by Seller, or at Seller’s option, Buyer shall receive credit therefor; provided, however, that in the event such meters cannot be read, the parties shall prorate their respective responsibilities for such utilities based upon the last previous utility bill therefor;
 
  (c)   Seller shall receive credit for all payments made prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Contracts, if any, as are assigned to Buyer at Closing and are allocable to periods subsequent to the Closing Date. Buyer shall receive credit for all payments becoming due subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to the Contracts, if any, as are assigned to Buyer at Closing and are allocable to periods prior to the Closing Date; and
 
  (d)   All sales, use, and/or rental taxes shall have been paid at Closing, or shall be paid by Seller subsequent to Closing. If to be paid subsequent to Closing, an escrow shall be established, at Closing, to cover the cost of any unanticipated taxes. This provision shall survive Closing.
     Apportionment of matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) through (d) of this Article shall be for the tax year of Closing and shall be based on the latest available information. Should such proration be inaccurate based on the actual bill later received, then on notice, either party hereto may

10


 

demand and shall be entitled to receive on demand, a payment from the other correcting such malapportionment. This paragraph shall survive the Closing.
18.   LIENS. Seller shall, both as to the Property and Personalty being sold hereunder, furnish to Buyer at time of Closing an affidavit attesting to the absence, unless otherwise provided for herein, of any financing statements, claims of lien or potential lienors known to Seller and further attesting that there have been no improvements to the Property for ninety (90) days immediately preceding date of Closing. If the Property has been improved within said time, Seller shall deliver releases or waivers of all mechanic’s liens, executed by general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and materialmen, in addition to Seller’s lien affidavit setting forth the names of all such general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and materialmen and further reciting that in fact all bills for work to the Property which could serve as a basis for a mechanic’s lien have been paid or will be paid at Closing, except as to any then pending “work in progress”, as to which Buyer and Seller shall enter into an appropriate written agreement concerning the resolution and disposition of the cost of same.
19.   EXPENSES. State documentary stamps which are required to be affixed to the instrument of conveyance, and the cost of recording any corrective instruments shall be paid by Seller. The cost of recording the deed and all fees and costs in connection with the new mortgage if any shall be paid by Buyer.
20.   ESCROW. The Escrow Agent, receiving funds pursuant to this Agreement is authorized and agrees by acceptance thereof to promptly deposit and to hold same in escrow and to disburse same subject to clearance thereof in accordance with terms and conditions of this Agreement. Failure of clearance of funds shall not excuse performance by the Buyer. In the event of doubt as to its duties or liabilities under the provisions of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent may in his sole discretion, continue to hold the monies which are the subject of this escrow until the parties mutually agree to the disbursement thereof, or until a judgment or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine the rights of the parties thereto, or may deposit all the monies then held pursuant to this Agreement with the Clerk of the Circuit Court of the County having jurisdiction of the dispute, and upon notifying all parties concerned of such action, all liability on the part of the Escrow Agent shall fully terminate, except to the extent of accounting for any monies theretofore delivered out of escrow. In the event of any suit between Buyer and Seller wherein the Escrow Agent is made a party by virtue of acting as such escrow agent hereunder, or in the event of any suit wherein Escrow Agent interpleads the subject matter of this escrow, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to recover a reasonable attorney’s fee and costs incurred, said fees and costs to be charged and assessed as court costs in favor of the prevailing party. All parties agree that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any party or person whomsoever for misdelivery to Buyer or Seller of monies subject to this escrow, unless such misdelivery shall de due to willful breach of this Agreement or gross negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent. All parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent has rendered and will continue to render legal services to Buyer in connection with the preparation of this Agreement, the consummation of the transaction to which it relates, the issuance of title insurance, and in the prosecution and resolution of any and all disputes which may arise in connection therewith.

Should the Seller default or breach any obligation hereunder, the Buyer may:
  (a)   seek specific performance of this Agreement, thereby waiving any action for damages; or
 
  (b)   elect to receive the return of its full deposit, together with all interest thereon and thereby waive any action for damages or for specific performance in which event the Agreement shall be terminated upon Buyer’s receipt of all deposit monies and the interest and thereupon, neither party shall have any further rights hereunder or obligations to each other.
