Seller recommends that Purchaser employ one or more independent engineering and/or environmental professionals to perform engineering, environmental and physical assessments on Purchaser’s behalf in respect of the Property and the condition thereof. Purchaser and Seller mutually acknowledge and agree that the Property is being sold in an “AS IS” condition and “WITH ALL FAULTS,” known or unknown, contingent or existing. Purchaser has the sole responsibility to fully inspect the Property, to investigate all matters relevant thereto, including, without limitation, the condition of the Property, and to reach its own, independent evaluation of any risks (environmental or otherwise) or rewards associated with the ownership, leasing, management and operation of the Property.

 

3.4.    Title and Survey. Promptly upon execution of this Agreement, Purchaser may order at its expense, from the Title Company a preliminary title commitment with respect to the Property (the “Title Commitment”). Purchaser shall direct the Title Company to send a copy of the Title Commitment to Seller. Promptly upon execution of this Agreement, Purchaser may arrange, also at its expense, for the preparation of one or more updates of the Existing Survey (each and together, the “Survey”). Purchaser likewise shall make copies of any such Survey available to Seller prior to Closing. Purchaser shall have thirty (30) days after the execution of this Agreement to give written notice (the “Title Notice”) to Seller of such objections as Purchaser may have to any exceptions to title disclosed in the Title Commitment or in any Survey or otherwise in Purchaser’s examination of title. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (except as to Monetary Objections), to attempt to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any exceptions to title to which the Purchaser so objects. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s Title Notice, Seller shall give written notice to Purchaser informing the Purchaser of Seller’s election with respect to such objections. If Seller fails to give written notice of election within such five (5) Business Day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure the objections (other than Monetary Objections). If Seller elects to attempt to cure any objections, Seller shall be entitled to one or more reasonable adjournments of the Closing of up to but not beyond the thirtieth (30th) day following the initial date set for the Closing to attempt such cure, but, except for Monetary Objections, Seller shall not be obligated to expend any sums, commence any suits or take any other action to effect such cure. Except as to Monetary Objections, if Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to cure any exceptions to title to which Purchaser has objected or if, after electing to attempt to cure, Seller determines that it is unwilling or unable to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any such exceptions, Purchaser’s sole remedy hereunder in such event shall be either (i) to accept title to the Property subject to such exceptions as if Purchaser had not objected thereto and without reduction of the Purchase Price, (ii) to terminate this Agreement within three (3) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Seller either of Seller’s election not to attempt to cure any objection or of Seller’s determination, having previously elected to attempt to cure, that Seller is unable or unwilling to do so, whereupon Escrow Agent shall return the Earnest Money to Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller shall be obligated to cure or satisfy all Monetary Objections at or prior to Closing, and may use the proceeds of the Purchase Price at Closing for such purpose.

3.5. Operating Agreements. Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser will designate in a written notice to Seller which Operating Agreements Purchaser will assume and which Operating Agreements will be terminated by Seller at Closing; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to terminate, and Purchaser shall assume Seller’s obligations arising from and after Closing under, all Operating Agreements which cannot be terminated by Seller upon no more than thirty (30) days prior notice or which can be terminated by Seller only upon payment of a fee, premium, penalty or other form of early termination compensation. Purchaser will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under those Operating Agreements which Purchaser has designated will not be terminated. Seller, without cost to Purchaser, shall terminate at Closing all Operating Agreements that are not so assumed, to the extent any relates to the Property. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period of any Operating Agreements that Purchaser does not desire to assume at Closing, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to assume all such Operating Agreements and to have waived its right to require Seller to terminate such Operating Agreements at Closing.

 

3.6. Termination of Agreement. Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Inspection Period to determine, in Purchaser’s sole opinion and discretion, the suitability of the Property for acquisition by Purchaser or Purchaser’s permitted assignee. Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time on or before said time and date of expiration of the Inspection Period by giving written notice to Seller of such election to terminate. If Purchaser so elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.6, Escrow Agent shall pay the Initial Earnest Money to Purchaser (less $10.00, which shall be paid to Seller in consideration of the termination rights contained herein), whereupon, except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any other or further rights or obligations under this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to so terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.6. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement shall not be void or voidable for lack of mutuality.

 

3.7. Confidentiality. All information acquired by Purchaser or any of its designated representatives with respect to the Property, whether delivered by Seller or any of Seller’s representatives or obtained by Purchaser as a result of its inspection and investigation of the Property, examination of Seller’s books, records and files in respect of the Property, or otherwise (collectively, the “Due Diligence Material”) shall be used solely for the purpose of determining whether the Property is suitable for Purchaser’s acquisition and ownership thereof and for no other purpose whatsoever. The terms and conditions which are contained in this Agreement and all Due Diligence Material which is not published as public knowledge or which is not generally available in the public domain shall be kept in strict confidence by Purchaser and shall not be disclosed to any individual or entity other than to those authorized representatives of Purchaser who need to know the information for the purpose of assisting Purchaser in evaluating the Property for Purchaser’s potential acquisition thereof. Purchaser shall and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage or expense that Seller may suffer or incur (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred) as a result of the unpermitted disclosure or use of any of the Due Diligence Material to any individual or entity other than an appropriate representative of Purchaser and/or the use of any Due Diligence Material for any purpose other than as herein contemplated and permitted. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, or if the Closing contemplated hereunder fails to occur for any reason, Purchaser will promptly return to Seller all Due Diligence Material in the possession of

Purchaser and any of its representatives, and destroy all copies, notes or abstracts or extracts thereof, as well as all copies of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by Purchaser or for its use (whether in written or electronic form) containing or reflecting any Due Diligence Material.

(a) Taxes. All general real estate taxes imposed by any governmental authority (“Taxes”) for the year in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date. If the Closing occurs prior to the receipt by Seller of the tax bill for the calendar year or other applicable tax period in which the Closing occurs, Taxes shall be prorated for such calendar year or other applicable tax period based upon the prior year’s tax bill.

Rents and any other amounts paid to Seller by tenants shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and be adjusted against the Purchase Price on the basis of a schedule which shall be prepared by Seller and delivered to Purchaser for Purchaser’s review and approval prior to Closing.

Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller, upon receipt, any rents or other payments by tenants under their respective Leases that apply to periods prior to Closing but which are received by Purchaser after Closing; provided, however, that any rents or other payments by tenants received by Purchaser after Closing shall be applied first to any current amounts then owed to Purchaser by such tenants, with the balance, if any, paid over to Seller to the extent of delinquencies existing on the date of Closing to which Seller is entitled. It is understood and agreed that Purchaser shall not be legally responsible to Seller for the collection of any rents or other charges payable with respect to the Leases or any portion thereof which are delinquent or past due as of the Closing Date; but Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall send monthly notices for a period of three (3) consecutive months in an effort to collect any rents and charges not collected as of the Closing Date. Seller hereby retains its right to pursue any tenant under the Leases for sums due Seller for periods attributable to Seller’s ownership of the Property. The provisions of this Section 5.4(c) shall survive the Closing.

Percentage rents, if any, collected by Purchaser from any tenant under such tenant’s Lease for the percentage rent accounting period in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date, as, if, and when received by Purchaser, such that Seller’s pro rata share shall be an amount equal to the total percentage rentals paid for such percentage rent accounting period under the applicable Lease multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in such accounting period prior to Closing and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days in such accounting period; provided, however, that such proration shall be made only at such time as such tenant is current or, after application of a portion of such payment, will be current in the payment of all rental and other charges under such tenant’s Lease that accrue and become due and payable from and after the Closing. The provisions of this Section 5.4(d) shall survive the Closing.

 

17


(e) Tenant Inducement Costs. Set forth on EXHIBIT “K” attached hereto and made a part hereof is a list of tenants at the Property with respect to which Tenant Inducement Costs and/or leasing commissions have not been paid in full as of the Effective Date. Seller shall pay all such Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions set forth in EXHIBIT “K” as and when the same are due and payable. If said amounts have not been paid in full on or before Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the aggregate amount of all such Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions remaining unpaid at Closing, and Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay amounts payable after Closing up to the amount of such credit received at Closing. Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions (i) as a result of any renewals or extensions or expansions of existing Leases, (ii) under any new Leases approved or deemed approved by Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.3(a), and (iii) set forth in EXHIBIT “C” hereof. The provisions of this Section 5.4(e) shall survive the Closing.

 

(f) Security Deposits. Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit for all Security Deposits transferred and assigned to Purchaser at Closing in connection with the Leases, together with a detailed inventory of such Security Deposits certified by Seller at Closing.

 

(g) Operating Expenses; Year End Reconciliation. Personal property taxes, installment payments of special assessment liens, vault charges, sewer charges, utility charges, and normally prorated operating expenses actually paid or payable by Seller as of the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and adjusted against the Purchase Price, provided that within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Purchaser and Seller will make a further adjustment for such expenses which may have accrued or been incurred prior to the Closing Date, but which were not paid as of the Closing Date. In addition, within ninety (90) days after the close of the fiscal year(s) used in calculating the pass-through to tenants of operating expenses and/or common area maintenance costs under the Leases (where such fiscal year(s) include(s) the Closing Date), Seller and Purchaser shall re-prorate on a fair and equitable basis all rents and income prorated pursuant to this Section 5.4 as well as all expenses prorated pursuant to this Section 5.4. All prorations of rent and other income shall be made based on the cumulative amounts collected from tenants in such fiscal year and applied first to actual expense amounts paid by Seller prior to the Closing Date and then to Purchaser for actual expense amounts paid by Purchaser from and after the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 5.4(g) shall survive the Closing.

18


of Seller, this condition to Closing may be satisfied by Seller’s execution and delivery to Purchaser at Closing, on behalf of any one or more tenants which have failed to provide the required Tenant Estoppel Certificate an estoppel certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as SCHEDULE 11 (“Seller’s Estoppel”) (provided that Seller’s Estoppels cannot be delivered with respect to Brookwood Grill, American Trust Bancorp, or from tenants occupying more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the remaining occupied net rentable square footage of all of the Improvements); and provided that Seller’s liability under any such Seller’s Estoppel so executed and delivered by Seller to Purchaser at Closing shall cease and terminate upon the receipt by Purchaser after Closing of a duly executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate from the tenant under the applicable Lease covered in such Seller’s Estoppel.

 

In the event any of the conditions in this Section 6.1 have not been satisfied (or otherwise waived in writing by Purchaser) prior to or on the Closing Date (as same may be extended or postponed as provided in this Agreement), Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given prior to the Closing, whereupon (i) Escrow Agent shall return the Earnest Money to Purchaser; and (ii) except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any other or further rights or obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 7.

CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

 

7.1. Casualty. Risk of loss up to and including the Closing Date shall be borne by Seller. In the event of any immaterial damage or destruction to the Property or any portion thereof, Seller and Purchaser shall proceed to close under this Agreement, and Purchaser will receive (and Seller will assign to Purchaser at the Closing Seller’s rights under insurance policies to receive) any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction and assume responsibility for such repair, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible, uninsured or coinsured amount under said insurance policies. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “immaterial damage or destruction” shall mean such instances of damage or destruction which can be repaired or restored at a cost of $250,000.00 or less.

 

In the event of any material damage or destruction to the Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by notice to Seller given within the earlier of twenty (20) days after Purchaser is

 

19


notified by Seller of such damage or destruction, or the Closing Date, but in no event less than ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified by Seller of such damage or destruction (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full 10-day period to make such election): (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Earnest Money to Purchaser, or (ii) proceed to close under this Agreement, receive (and Seller will assign to Purchaser at the Closing Seller’s rights under insurance policies to receive) any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to the period on or after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (less any amounts reasonably expended for restoration or collection of proceeds) and assume responsibility for such repair, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under said insurance policies. If Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller notice of its election within the period set forth above, Purchaser will conclusively be deemed to have elected to proceed with the Closing as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. If Purchaser elects clause (ii) above, Seller will cooperate with Purchaser after the Closing to assist Purchaser in obtaining the insurance proceeds from Seller’s insurers. For purposes of this Agreement “material damage or destruction” shall mean all instances of damage or destruction that are not immaterial, as defined herein.

 

7.2. Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, all or any part of the Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body having the power of eminent domain or is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or sale in lieu thereof), or if Seller has received written notice that any condemnation action or proceeding with respect to the Property is contemplated by a body having the power of eminent domain, Seller shall give Purchaser immediate written notice of such threatened or contemplated condemnation or of such taking or sale, and Purchaser may by written notice to Seller given within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice from Seller, elect to cancel this Agreement, and the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to permit such thirty (30) day period to expire. If Purchaser chooses to cancel this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.2, then the Earnest Money shall be returned immediately to Purchaser by Escrow Agent and the rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities of the parties hereunder shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect, except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not elect to cancel this Agreement in accordance herewith, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the sale of the Property contemplated by this Agreement, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, or sale in lieu thereof, shall be effected with no further adjustment and without reduction of the Purchase Price, and at the Closing, Seller shall assign, transfer, and set over to Purchaser all of the right, title, and interest of Seller in and to any awards applicable to the Property that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking. At such time as all or a part of the Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation and Purchaser shall not have elected to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 7.2, and provided that the Inspection Period has expired and Purchaser has delivered the Additional Earnest Money to Escrow Agent, (i) Purchaser shall thereafter be permitted to participate in the proceedings as if Purchaser were a party to the action, and (ii) Seller shall not settle or agree to any award or payment pursuant to condemnation, eminent domain, or sale in lieu thereof without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent thereto in each case.

 

ARTICLE 8.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

 

8.1. Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser fails to consummate this transaction for any reason other than Seller’s default, failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close, or the exercise by Purchaser of an express right of termination granted herein, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy hereunder, to terminate this Agreement and to receive and retain the Earnest Money as full liquidated damages for such

 

20


default of Purchaser, the parties hereto acknowledging that it is impossible to estimate more precisely the damages which might be suffered by Seller upon Purchaser’s default, and that said Earnest Money is a reasonable estimate of Seller’s probable loss in the event of default by Purchaser. Seller’s retention of said Earnest Money is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages. The foregoing liquidated damages provision shall not apply to or limit Purchaser’s liability for Purchaser’s obligations under Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.7 and 10.1 of this Agreement. Purchaser hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) sue Seller or seek or claim a refund of said Earnest Money (or any part thereof) on the grounds it is unreasonable in amount and exceeds Seller’s actual damages or that its retention by Seller constitutes a penalty and not agreed upon and reasonable liquidated damages.

 

8.2. Seller’s Default. If Seller fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement for any reason other than Purchaser’s default or the permitted termination of this Agreement by Seller or Purchaser as expressly provided herein, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, either (a) to receive the return of the Earnest Money from Escrow Agent, which return shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller from any and all liability hereunder, or (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligation to execute and deliver the documents required to convey the Property to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement; it being specifically understood and agreed that the remedy of specific performance shall not be available to enforce any other obligation of Seller hereunder. Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of Seller’s default hereunder. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and to receive a return of the Earnest Money from Escrow Agent if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located, on or before sixty (60) days following the date upon which the Closing was to have occurred.

 

ARTICLE 9.

ASSIGNMENT

 

9.1. Assignment. This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable by Purchaser prior to Closing without the written consent of the Seller, except that Purchaser shall have the right to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity in which Purchaser or any of the members comprising Purchaser have a controlling interest. At Closing, Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any entity simultaneous with the acquisition of the Property and the payment of the Purchase Price therefor.

 

9.2. Like-Kind Exchange.. Seller understands that Purchaser may desire to effect the transaction hereunder in a manner so as to qualify as a like-kind exchange under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031, and the regulations thereunder. Accordingly, Purchaser may elect to assign its rights to this Agreement to a third party, and Seller hereby consents to such assignment. Seller shall execute such documents and take such other action as may reasonably be requested, all at no expense or liability to Seller, for the purpose of effecting a like-kind exchange under Section 1031, and the regulations thereunder.

 

ARTICLE 10.

BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

 

10.1. Broker. Upon the Closing, and only in the event the Closing occurs, Seller shall pay a brokerage commission to The Shopping Center Group (“Broker”) pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Broker. Broker is representing Seller in this transaction. Jackson Corporate Real Estate Consulting, LLC (“Jackson”) is representing Purchaser in this transaction, and Jackson shall share

 

21


in the brokerage commission payable by Seller to Broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Broker and Jackson. Seller shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and costs of litigation, Purchaser shall ever suffer or incur because of any claim by any agent, salesman, or broker, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with regard to this Agreement or the sale and purchase of the Property contemplated hereby, and arising out of any acts or agreements of Seller, including any claim asserted by Broker. Likewise, Purchaser shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Seller free and harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and costs of litigation, Seller shall ever suffer or incur because of any claim by any agent, salesman, or broker, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with respect to this Agreement or the sale and purchase of the Property contemplated hereby and arising out of the acts or agreements of Purchaser. This Section 10.1 shall survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

11.2. Possession. Full and exclusive possession of the Property, subject to the Permitted Exceptions and the rights of the tenants under the Leases, shall be delivered by Seller to Purchaser on the Closing Date.

 

11.3. Time Periods. If the time period by which any right, option, or election provided under this Agreement must be exercised, or by which any act required hereunder must be performed, or by which the Closing must be held, expires on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, then such time period shall be automatically extended through the close of business on the next regularly scheduled Business Day.

 

11.4. Publicity. Except as required by law, the parties agree that, prior to Closing, no party shall, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, contact or conduct negotiations with public officials, make any public announcements or issue press releases regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party hereto.

 

11.5. Discharge of Obligations. The acceptance by Purchaser of Seller’s Warranty Deed hereunder shall be deemed to constitute the full performance and discharge of each and every warranty and representation made by Seller and Purchaser herein and every agreement and obligation on the part of Seller and Purchaser to be performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, except those warranties, representations, covenants and agreements which are specifically provided in this Agreement to survive Closing.

 

11.6. Severability. This Agreement is intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall, for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

 

11.7. Construction. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that this Agreement may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being mutually acknowledged and agreed that Seller and Purchaser and their respective counsel have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation and negotiation of this

 

23


Agreement. Accordingly, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto.

 

11.8. Access to Records Following Closing. Purchaser agrees that for a period of two (2) years following the Closing, Seller shall have the right during regular business hours, on five (5) days’ written notice to Purchaser, to examine and review at Purchaser’s office (or, at Purchaser’s election, at the Property), the books and records relating to the ownership and operation of the Property which were delivered by Seller to Purchaser at the Closing. Likewise, Seller agrees that for a period of two (2) years following the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right during regular business hours, on five (5) days’ written notice to Seller, to examine and review at Seller’s office, all books, records and files, if any, retained by Seller relating to the ownership and operation of the Property by Seller prior to the Closing. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.

 

11.9. Survival. The provisions of this Article 11 and the provisions of Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.3, 3.7, 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 5.1, 5.2, 5.4 and 10.1 shall survive the Closing to the extent (and subject to any specific limitations) provided in this Agreement and any earlier termination of this Agreement and shall not be merged into the execution and delivery of the Warranty Deed.

 

11.10. General Provisions. No failure of either party to exercise any power given hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance with any obligation specified herein, and no custom or practice at variance with the terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of either party’s right to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto, and no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, oral or otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein shall be of any force or effect. Any amendment to this Agreement shall not be binding upon Seller or Purchaser unless such amendment is in writing and executed by both Seller and Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1 hereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns. Time is of the essence in this Agreement. The headings inserted at the beginning of each paragraph are for convenience only, and do not add to or subtract from the meaning of the contents of each paragraph. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Georgia. Except as otherwise provided herein, all rights, powers, and privileges conferred hereunder upon the parties shall be cumulative but not restrictive to those given by law. All personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether used in the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall include all genders, and all references herein to the singular shall include the plural and vice versa.

 

11.11. Attorney’s Fees. If Purchaser or Seller brings an action at law or equity against the other in order to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or as a result of an alleged default under this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees actually incurred from the other.

 

11.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same original. To facilitate the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the parties may execute and exchange counterparts of the signature pages by facsimile, and the signature page of either party to any counterpart may be appended to any other counterpart.

 

11.13. Seller’s Obligation to Pay Rental Shortfall. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price of the Property was established, in part, upon the assumption that the tenant space

 

24


known as Suite B-140, currently occupied by Incredible Rugs, would have a term that extended approximately eighteen (18) months after the date of Closing, and that the tenant space known as Suite B-180 would be leased, as of the date of Closing, for a term extending for approximately the same period of time, and that the combined monthly rental (including all additional rental) would be not less than $8,888.00 per month for such leases. As of the date of this Agreement, tenant space B-180 is vacant and the tenant known as Incredible Rugs intends to vacate Suite B-140 on or about August 31, 2004. Seller has agreed to pay to Purchaser the shortfall in rental income in the amount of up to $8,888.00 per month for a period of up to eighteen (18) months after the date of Closing.

 

Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that the rental payable (including all additional rental) under any new Lease for Suite B-180 or Suite B-140 (if such space is vacated) entered into by Seller pursuant to Section 4.3(a) hereof on or prior to the date of Closing, and under any new Lease for Suite B-180 or Suite B-140 (if such space is vacated) entered into by Purchaser after the date of Closing, shall be credited (on a monthly basis, as such rental is due) against Seller’s obligation to pay such rental shortfall.

 

Purchaser and Seller also acknowledge and agree that Seller is currently in negotiations with Tucker Gougelmann and Andy Tran for the lease of the tenant space known as Suite B-125 for 1,440 square feet of tenant space with a forty (40) month term at a lease rate of $17.00 per square foot and $0.50 per square foot annual escalations (with four (4) months of free rent) (the “Nail Salon Lease”). The prospective tenant is to take the tenant space “as is” and leasing commissions would be due to both The Shopping Center Group, LLC and Ackerman & Co pursuant to those certain leasing commission agreements more particularly described on EXHIBIT “C”. In the event a lease with Tucker Gougelmann and Andy Tran is entered into by Seller pursuant to Section 4.3(a) hereof or prior to the date of Closing or by Purchaser for Suite B-125 or for any other tenant space on the Property, the rental payable (including all additional rental) under the Nail Salon Lease from and after the date of Closing shall be credited (on a monthly basis, as such rental is due) against Seller’s obligation to pay such rental shortfall.

 

Purchaser and Seller also acknowledge and agree that Seller is currently in discussions with Incredible Rugs for a reduction in leased space and possible relocation to the tenant space known as Suite B-105. Any rental payable (including all additional rental) by Incredible Rugs for Suite B-140 from and after August 31, 2004 (including any holdover rental or rental paid as a result of a renewal of such Lease) shall be credited against Seller’s obligation to pay the rental shortfall. Further, in the event that Incredible Rugs enters into a lease whereby it relocates to Suite B-105 or to any other tenant space on the Property (pursuant to a lease entered into by Seller pursuant to Section 4.3(a) hereof or by Purchaser) (the “Relocation Lease”), the rental payable under the Relocation Lease from and after August 31, 2004 shall be credited (on a monthly basis, as such rental is due) against Seller’s obligation to pay such rental shortfall.

 

If the Nail Salon Lease is entered into prior to Closing pursuant to Section 4.3(a) hereof, then said Lease, if and when executed, shall be deemed approved by Purchaser, and all leasing commissions and Tenant Inducement Costs payable pursuant to said Lease shall be assumed by Purchaser and shall be paid by Purchaser.

 

Seller’s obligation to pay such rental shortfall shall be pursuant to the following terms and conditions:

 

  (i)   Seller’s obligation to pay the rental shortfall shall not exceed $8,888.00 per month.
 
  (ii)   If any new Lease contains more than three (3) months free rent [whether entered into by Seller and approved by Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.3(a) hereof or entered into by

 

25


Purchaser after Closing], then commencing with the 1st day of the 4th month of the term of the applicable Lease, Seller shall receive a credit against the rental shortfall equal to the full monthly rental that is actually payable under the applicable Lease as of the rental commencement date of such new Lease.

 

Further, it is the intent and agreement of Seller and Purchaser that any such new Lease will calculate the monthly rental over the initial term in a commercially standard manner (i.e., the Lease will not “back-end” the rental payments so as to avoid the effect of properly crediting Seller with monthly rental under the new Lease). In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser agree that, over the initial five (5) year term of any new Lease, the first and last month’s rental will not vary by more than 15%.

 

  (iii)   All rental which is to be credited against Seller’s obligations hereunder shall be credited as it is payable, not as it is received, as Seller’s obligations hereunder do not constitute a guaranty of collection of rental from any existing or future tenant of the Property.

 

  (iv)   Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to lease the Property from and after the date of Closing and Purchaser agrees to execute all new Leases that are presented to Purchaser and which are reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser based upon the terms of the proposed lease, including such new tenant’s credit-worthiness and such other commercially reasonable factors considered by landlords of shopping centers similar to the Property. Further, once any new Lease is entered into which is to be credited against Seller’s obligations hereunder, if Purchaser thereafter voluntarily accepts a termination of any such new Lease or a reduction of any rental payable under such new Lease, Seller shall continue to receive a full credit for the rental which would have been payable under such Lease.

 

  (v)   Purchaser shall keep Seller reasonably apprised of the status of the leasing of the Suite B-140 (if such space is vacated), Suite B-180, Suite B-105, and Suite B-125 on the Property during the period of time that Seller is obligated to pay the rental shortfall. On or prior to the fifteenth (15th) day of each month, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a notice stating whether either of such spaces have been leased (and if either of such spaces have been leased, then Purchaser shall specify the rent paid, including all additional rent), together with an invoice specifying the rental shortfall due, if any, from Seller for the current month. Seller will pay such shortfall on or prior to the tenth (10th) day of receipt of such invoice from Purchaser. Seller will object to Purchaser’s request for payment only in good faith and for good cause. Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate with one another in good faith to determine the amounts due from Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 11.13.

 

Seller acknowledges and agrees that Seller’s obligation to pay any rental shortfall pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.13 shall expressly survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months.
