The Company shall provide the Employee with appropriate literature supplied or approved by
8
HomeServices Relocation describing its services and shall inform the Employee that if the Employee enters into a listing agreement with a real estate broker, the Employee must make certain that no commission shall be due or payable as a result of a sale to HomeServices Relocation or the Company or any of their respective affiliates. In this connection, the Company shall instruct the Employee to insert into any listing agreement the following language:
| | | | “Notwithstanding any provision in this Listing Agreement to the contrary, this Listing Agreement is subject to the following provisions: It is understood and agreed by the parties that regardless of whether or not an offer is presented by a ready, willing and able buyer: |
| | (1) | | No commission or compensation shall be earned by, or be due and payable to, broker until the sale of the Property has been consummated between seller(s) and buyer, the deed delivered to the buyer, and the purchase price delivered to the seller(s); and |
| | (2) | | The seller reserve(s) the right to sell the Property to HomeServices Relocation, LLC or [Company name] or [Name of any other party to be covered by this exclusion clause] (individually and collectively a “Named Prospective Purchaser”) at any time. Upon the execution by a Named Prospective Purchaser and seller(s) of purchase agreement with respect to the Property, this Listing Agreement shall immediately terminate without obligation by the seller(s) or any Named Prospective Purchaser to either pay a commission or to continue this Listing Agreement. Seller(s) may notify broker of the termination of this Listing Agreement orally or in writing.” |
(a) Upon HomeServices Relocation’s request, Company shall pre-fund any amounts to be incurred by HomeServices Relocation under the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, Direct Costs, Initiation Costs, Interest Expenses, mortgage prepayments or payoffs, and Equity payments (including any Equity Advances as defined in Section 8(b)).
(b) For amounts to be pre-funded, HomeServices Relocation shall, from time to time, (i) estimate the amount that the Company is required to pre-fund to Service Provider and (ii) issue such Funds Transfer Requests as may be necessary to cover its obligations. The pre-funding of any Equity Advances shall be subject to a separate Funds Transfer Request to the Company in accord with Section 8(b).
(c) Company shall, within three (3) business days of receipt of a Funds Transfer Request from Service Provider, wire transfer the required funds to Service Provider’s designated bank. Upon verification of the receipt of funds in Service Provider’s account, Service Provider will release the funds as appropriate to carry out Service Provider’s obligations to Company under this Agreement.
Section 5. Home Purchase Services & Related Procedures.
| | (a) | | Appraisals; Determination of Appraised Value. |
9
| | (i) | | Upon Initiation, and if requested by the Employee, HomeServices Relocation shall, for the purpose of establishing current market value, obtain written appraisals of the Property from two (2) independent qualified real estate appraisers (the “Appraised Value”). The Employee shall select the appraisers from a list provided by HomeServices Relocation. If the Employee fails to select appraisers within a reasonable period following receipt of the list from HomeServices Relocation, HomeServices Relocation may do so. If independent, qualified appraisers are not available, appraisals shall be obtained from two (2) real estate brokers selected by HomeServices Relocation. If the lesser of the two appraisal amounts is at least 95% of the greater of the two appraisal amounts, the Property’s Appraised Value shall be determined by averaging the two appraisals. If, however, the difference between the two appraisals is more than 5% of the greater appraisal amount, the Employee shall select a third appraiser, in which case the two closest appraisal amounts among the three appraisals conducted shall be averaged to determine the Appraised Value. HomeServices Relocation may, in its discretion, disregard any appraisal amount that it considers to be unsupportable. HomeServices Relocation will then confer with Company to determine a fair and equitable value based upon statistics provided by brokers. |
| | (b) | | Property Condition Disclosure Statement. |
| | | | Promptly after Initiation, HomeServices Relocation shall furnish the Employee with a Property Condition Disclosure Statement (the “Disclosure Statement”). The Company shall instruct the Employee to complete and return the Disclosure Statement to HomeServices Relocation within ten (10) days after receipt. Unless otherwise instructed by the Company, HomeServices Relocation shall not make an offer to an Employee until after it has received and approved the completed Disclosure Statement. |
| | (c) | | Inspections; Broker’s Price Opinions. |
| | | | HomeServices Relocation shall arrange to obtain a title search and report with respect to the Property, one or more broker’s price opinions, and such inspections of and reports regarding the Property as HomeServices Relocation shall determine, in its discretion, are necessary or advisable in connection with the purchase and resale of the Property, including but not limited to structural inspections, termite inspections, inspections and tests regarding the presence of hazardous and potentially hazardous substances, and mortgage condition, tax, judgment and litigation reports. The results of any physical inspection of the Property and any information disclosed to HomeServices Relocation or to the Company in the Disclosure Statement shall be disclosed to prospective third-party buyers of the Property. |
| | | | After the appraisals and inspections have been completed and before any offer is made to the Employee, or as soon thereafter as HomeServices Relocation can reasonably do so, HomeServices Relocation shall notify the Company if a Special Property has been identified. The Company may then request that HomeServices Relocation acquire the Special Property, in which event HomeServices Relocation shall review with the Company |
10
| | | | any special procedures that HomeServices Relocation may follow in connection with such Special Property, which special procedures shall be set forth in writing. HomeServices Relocation reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse to acquire any Special Property. If HomeServices Relocation elects to purchase a Special Property, all references in this Agreement to a Property shall be deemed to include such Special Property, unless otherwise specified herein or agreed in writing by the Parties. |
Section 6. Offer to Purchase.
| | (a) | | Appraised Value Sale. |
| | (i) | | Upon determining the Property’s Appraised Value and after receiving the Disclosure Statement and the results of any reports or inspections that HomeServices Relocation deems necessary or advisable, HomeServices Relocation shall offer to purchase the Property from the Employee at the Appraised Value (as the same may be adjusted to reflect information contained in the inspections and reports obtained by HomeServices Relocation), by forwarding to the Employee an offer letter (the “Offer Letter”) and a Homesale Agreement (the “Homesale Agreement”). The amount of such offer shall be referred to herein as the “Appraised Value Price”. |
| | (ii) | | There shall be a 60-day offer period beginning the date of the Offer Letter (the “Offer Period”). At any time before the Offer Period expires, the Employee may accept HomeServices Relocation’s offer by signing the Homesale Agreement and returning it to HomeServices Relocation, together with all other documents required by HomeServices Relocation. |
| | (iii) | | After the Employee has accepted HomeServices Relocation’s offer and has returned the signed Homesale Agreement and all other documents required by HomeServices Relocation, HomeServices Relocation shall review the Homesale Agreement to ensure that no changes have been made. Upon making such determination, HomeServices Relocation shall sign the Homesale Agreement and purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of the Homesale Agreement, provided all the terms and conditions of the Homesale Agreement are met. If the Employee fails to accept HomeServices Relocation’s offer within the Offer Period in the manner set forth herein, HomeServices Relocation’s offer to purchase the Property shall automatically terminate without further notice or action by HomeServices Relocation and be of no further force or effect. |
| | (i) | | If the Employee, during the Offer Period and before executing this Homesale Agreement, receives from a prospective third-party buyer a written offer to purchase or a proposed sale agreement for the Property that, in its sole discretion, HomeServices Relocation determines to be bona fide (based on HomeServices Relocation’s consideration of factors including but not limited to whether such offer is (i) on terms substantially similar to the terms of the Homesale Agreement; (ii) not contingent upon the occurrence of any event (other than customary financing and inspections), including, |
11
| | | | without limitation, the third-party’s sale of any property or the Employee’s providing any financing; (iii) supported by adequate financing or the reasonable expectation of adequate financing; (iv) not made by a real estate broker representing Employee, by a member of Employee’s immediate or extended family (by blood or marriage) or by an entity in which Employee has more than a 10% ownership or equity interest; and (v) acceptable in terms of any discount points, repairs, or other concessions that Seller has agreed to pay, which shall be deducted from Employee’s Equity), HomeServices Relocation may amend the Purchase Price listed in the Homesale Agreement to equal the third party’s proposed price, taking into account any Adjustments (“the Amended Value”); provided, however, that if the Employee has signed a sales agreement or accepted a down payment or deposit on the third party’s proposed price or is otherwise deemed to have accepted a third party’s offer to purchase, then HomeServices Relocation shall have no obligation to amend the Purchase Price or otherwise proceed with its offer to purchase. |
| | (ii) | | Upon making Adjustments to the third party’s proposed purchase price and upon determining in its sole discretion that all requirements are met, HomeServices Relocation shall promptly advise the Employee that HomeServices Relocation is willing to amend its offer (the “Amended Offer”) to change the Purchase Price to the Amended Value, and HomeServices Relocation also shall advise the Employee of any Adjustments made in determining the Amended Value. Promptly after receiving notice of the Amended Value, the Employee shall give HomeServices Relocation telephone notice, confirmed in writing, of Employee’s intention to accept the Amended Offer. HomeServices Relocation shall then forward to the Employee an amendment that will be attached to and incorporated in the Homesale Agreement, and the Amended Value shall become the Purchase Price. |
| | (iii) | | The Employee shall then sign the Homesale Agreement and Amended Value Amendment and return both to HomeServices Relocation, together with the third party’s offer or proposed sales agreement, designating HomeServices Relocation as the seller therein, and all other documents required under the Homesale Agreement or by HomeServices Relocation. If HomeServices Relocation does not receive the signed Homesale Agreement within five (5) business days after the Employee orally accepts the Amended Offer, HomeServices Relocation’s Amended Offer shall automatically expire without further notice or action by HomeServices Relocation. If the third party’s proposed sale agreement is satisfactory to HomeServices Relocation, and if HomeServices Relocation has made all other necessary determinations, HomeServices Relocation shall execute the Homesale Agreement at the Amended Value price. The Equity payable to the Employee shall then be based on the Amended Value. |
| | (iv) | | If the third party’s offer is based on the assumption of, or taking title subject to, the Employee’s mortgage or any other Encumbrance and the third party assumes or takes title subject to such mortgage or Encumbrance, then, from and after the closing with the third party, HomeServices Relocation shall have no liability under or with respect to such mortgage or Encumbrance and shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold the Employee harmless from and against any claim for amounts due thereunder. |
12
| | (c) | | Buyer-Value Option Sale. |
| | (i) | | If, before HomeServices Relocation issues the Offer Letter, the Employee receives from a prospective third-party buyer a written offer to purchase or a proposed sale agreement for the Property that, in its sole discretion, HomeServices Relocation determines to be bona fide (based on HomeServices Relocation’s consideration of factors including but not limited to whether such offer is (i) on terms substantially similar to the terms of the Homesale Agreement; (ii) not contingent upon the occurrence of any event (other than customary financing and inspections), including, without limitation, the third-party’s sale of any property or the Employee’s providing any financing; (iii) supported by adequate financing or the reasonable expectation of adequate financing; (iv) not made by a real estate broker representing Employee, by a member of Employee’s immediate or extended family (by blood or marriage) or by an entity in which Employee has more than a 10% ownership or equity interest; and (v) acceptable in terms of any discount points, repairs, or other concessions that Seller has agreed to pay, which shall be deducted from Employee’s Equity), HomeServices Relocation may issue a Homesale Agreement at an amount equal to the third party’s proposed price, taking into account any Adjustments (the “Buyer Value”); provided, however, that if the Employee has signed a sale agreement or accepted a down payment or deposit on the third party’s proposed price or is otherwise deemed to have accepted a third party’s offer to purchase, then HomeServices Relocation shall have no obligation to amend the Purchase Price or otherwise proceed with its offer to purchase. |
| | (ii) | | Upon making Adjustments to determine whether the third party’s proposed purchase price is reasonable, and upon determining in its sole discretion that all other requirements are met, HomeServices Relocation shall promptly advise the Employee that HomeServices Relocation is willing to issue its offer at the Buyer Value, and HomeServices Relocation also shall advise the Employee of any Adjustments to the third party’s proposed price. HomeServices Relocation shall then issue a Homesale Agreement at the Buyer Value price. Promptly after receiving notice of the Buyer Value, the Employee shall give HomeServices Relocation telephone notice, confirmed in writing, of Employee’s intention to accept HomeServices Relocation’s Buyer Value offer. |
| | (iii) | | The Employee shall then sign the Homesale Agreement and return it to HomeServices Relocation, together with the third party’s offer or proposed sale agreement, designating HomeServices Relocation as the seller therein, and all other documents required under the Homesale Agreement or by HomeServices Relocation. If HomeServices Relocation does not receive the signed Homesale Agreement within five (5) business days after the Employee orally accepts its offer, HomeServices Relocation’s offer at the Buyer Value price shall automatically expire without further notice or action by HomeServices Relocation. If the third party’s proposed sale agreement is satisfactory to HomeServices Relocation, and if HomeServices Relocation has made all other necessary determinations, HomeServices Relocation shall execute the Homesale Agreement at the Buyer Value price. The Equity payable to the Employee shall then be based on the Buyer Value. |
13
| | (iv) | | If the third party’s offer is based on the assumption of, or taking title subject to, the Employee’s mortgage or any other encumbrance and the third party assumes or takes title subject to such mortgage or encumbrance, then, from and after the closing with the third party, HomeServices Relocation shall have no liability under or with respect to such mortgage or encumbrance and shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold the Employee harmless from and against any claim for amounts due thereunder. |
| | | | At the Company’s request and subject to the Company’s and the Employee’s satisfaction of all conditions set by HomeServices Relocation and to approval under and any limitations imposed according to HomeServices Relocation’s standard third-party credit extension policy, Company may set the price at which HomeServices Relocation will purchase a Property (“Directed Offer”). In a Directed Offer sale, the price specified by the Company takes the place of the Appraised Value Price, and the procedures otherwise applicable to an Appraised Value Sale apply. |
Section 7. Payment of Equity.
| | | | At the Company’s request and subject to the Company’s and the Employee’s satisfaction of all conditions set by HomeServices Relocation and to approval under and any limitations imposed according to HomeServices Relocation’s standard third-party credit extension policy, HomeServices Relocation will provide the funds necessary to make any Equity Advances (as defined in subsection (b) below), Equity payments, mortgage prepayments, lien payments, or other advances that may be required to fund the Purchase Price and purchase the Property. The Company shall repay any such amounts advanced, with interest, at the rate specified in Section 10, from the date of the original advance through the date HomeServices Relocation receives funds collected from the sale of the Property and, if applicable, any additional funds from the Company required to make up any shortfall. |
| | (i) | | If an Employee purchasing a home in a new location (the “Destination Location”) requires funds for a down payment or deposit on a home at the Destination Location, the Employee may request, at any time after HomeServices Relocation receives the Homesale Agreement signed by the Employee, an advance amount not to exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the anticipated Equity (an “Equity Advance”) less the Reserve set forth in Section 7(c) below. In addition to the Homesale Agreement, the Employee shall be required to sign and deliver to HomeServices Relocation an Early Equity Advance Agreement. HomeServices Relocation shall be under no obligation to advance funds to an Employee until it has received the Homesale Agreement and Early Equity Advance Agreement executed in accordance with HomeServices Relocation’s instructions. If required by HomeServices Relocation, the Early Equity Advance Agreement also shall be signed by the Employee’s spouse or other record title holder. The Equity Advance shall be credited against monies otherwise becoming due to the |
14
| | | | Employee from HomeServices Relocation as a result of the sale of the Property. The Early Equity Advance Agreement, at the option of HomeServices Relocation, may be secured by a mortgage on the Property, in which event the Employee and the Employee’s spouse or other record title holder shall sign a mortgage or deed of trust in the form satisfactory to HomeServices Relocation. |
| | (ii) | | If, for any reason whatsoever, the Employee defaults under the Early Equity Advance Agreement, the Company agrees to pay the amount due thereunder to HomeServices Relocation immediately upon written notification of the default from HomeServices Relocation. Upon receipt of such payment, HomeServices Relocation shall assign the Early Equity Advance Agreement, without recourse, to the Company, and the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of HomeServices Relocation under the Early Equity Advance Agreement. |
| | (i) | | Promptly after the Execution Date, provided, however, that the Employee has signed and delivered to HomeServices Relocation all documents and information required by HomeServices Relocation, including but not limited to a power of attorney (the “Power of Attorney”) and a deed for the Property in the form acceptable to HomeServices Relocation, HomeServices Relocation shall pay to the Employee the Employee’s Equity, except that if the Execution Date occurs before the Vacate Date, HomeServices Relocation shall deduct from the Equity to be paid, and shall retain, a reserve of five hundred dollars ($500.00) (the “Reserve”) of the total Equity. HomeServices Relocation shall hold the Reserve until the Vacate Date. Promptly after the Vacate Date, HomeServices Relocation shall pay to the Employee the Reserve plus any unpaid portion of the Employee’s Equity, less any amounts necessary to place the Property in the condition warranted by the Employee in the Homesale Agreement. The Employee shall vacate the Property on or before the estimated Vacate Date as indicated to HomeServices Relocation unless HomeServices Relocation and the Company agree in writing to a later date. If the Employee actually vacates the Property on a date other than the estimated Vacate Date, HomeServices Relocation shall adjust the Employee’s Equity to reflect amounts prorated through the actual date that the Employee vacates the Property. If the Employee vacates the Property after the estimated Vacate Date, HomeServices Relocation reserves the right to charge the Employee directly for additional costs HomeServices Relocation incurs or accrues and for amounts prorated through the date the Employee actually vacates the Property. |
| | (ii) | | If the Employee has “Negative Equity” (as that term is used in the industry), HomeServices Relocation shall send to the Employee a closing statement, and the Employee shall pay to HomeServices Relocation the amount of the Negative Equity in accordance with the Homesale Agreement. The Company warrants that if the Employee refuses or is unable to pay the amount of Negative Equity, Company will pay the Negative Equity to HomeServices Relocation upon written notification by HomeServices Relocation. |

Section 8. Responsibility for and Maintenance of the Property.
| | | | The Employee shall be responsible for all payments relating to taxes, utilities, insurance, mortgages, loans, encumbrances, maintenance and other charges on the Property, due or to become due on or before the latter of the Execution Date or the Vacate Date. |
| | (b) | | HomeServices Relocation. |
| | | | HomeServices Relocation assumes responsibility for all such payments due or to become due after the latter of the Execution Date or the Vacate Date. In addition, beginning when HomeServices Relocation assumes responsibility for the Property (as described in the previous sentence) and until title to the Property is transferred to a third-party buyer, HomeServices Relocation shall: |
| | (i) | | Keep the Property neat and in good repair and redecorate the Property, if desirable in the discretion of HomeServices Relocation, to maintain or improve the Property’s marketability, provided, however, that HomeServices Relocation shall not pay or incur any expenditures in excess of $2,500.00 in the aggregate without the Company’s approval; |
| | (ii) | | Keep the Property neat and free from debris and remove snow when necessary to permit access by potential third-party buyers; |
| | (iii) | | Arrange for and maintain in effect (x) fire and extended coverage insurance (and, if appropriate, and to the extent available, flood insurance) in an amount equal to the Property’s Appraised Value, Amended Value or Buyer Value, which insurance shall provide for a reasonable and customary deductible (which shall in no event exceed $1,000, except for earthquake damage coverage for which the deductible shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Property’s Appraised Value, Amended Value or Buyer Value), and (y) first dollar coverage under a comprehensive public liability policy. The premium amounts allocable to a Property, the amount of any payment pursuant to the deductible and any amounts paid in excess of policy limits shall be charged to the Company as a Direct Cost. |
| | | | From and after the Closing Date, HomeServices Relocation may elect to pay in full or in part any existing indebtedness with respect to the Property. If requested by the Company and the Employee in writing before the earlier of the Execution Date or the Vacate Date, HomeServices Relocation agrees to satisfy any existing FHA or VA mortgage, if necessary to facilitate the Employee’s obtaining a FHA or VA loan secured by the home being purchased at the transferred-to location. |
Section 9. Resale of the Property.
16
| | | | Upon receipt by HomeServices Relocation of the Homesale Agreement signed by the Employee and other documents required pursuant to Section 6, HomeServices Relocation shall list the Property with one or more real estate brokers selected by HomeServices Relocation. HomeServices Relocation will consult with Company regarding any offers on the Property. HomeServices Relocation will not accept an offer of less than 95% of a Property’s Appraised Value Price without advance written consent from Company; provided, however, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. |
| | | | HomeServices Relocation shall advance all costs incurred in connection with the resale of the Property to a third-party buyer, including, but not limited to, real estate brokers’ commissions, transfer taxes, recording taxes and fees, financing costs of the buyer if required by a sale agreement, and other closing costs that HomeServices Relocation determines are necessary or customary under the circumstances. |
| | | | At HomeServices Relocation’s discretion, proceeds from the resale of the Property may be applied first to cover any amounts owed to HomeServices Relocation. Resale proceeds in excess of all amounts owed to HomeServices Relocation will be remitted to Company. |

Interest shall be computed on a per diem basis based on a 360 day year at the commercial prime rate (or its equivalent) as published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal (determined as the average of the daily rates in effect during the applicable month), plus 5%. The interest rate charged is subject to change only upon verification by HomeServices Relocation of a change in the rate of credit available to Company generally; in no event shall the interest rate be less than Company’s own cost of funds. |
| | | | If an Initiation is canceled by the Company, or if HomeServices Relocation’s offer to purchase is canceled, rejected or is not accepted within the Offer Period in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to HomeServices Relocation a rejection fee of $450, plus all Initiation Costs and Direct Costs incurred or accrued in connection with the Property. |

Section 14. Arbitration.
20
| | | | If disputes between the Parties arise with respect to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such disputes shall be resolved by and through an arbitration proceeding to be conducted under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association (or any like organization successor thereto) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Such arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in as expedited a manner as is then permitted by the American Arbitration Association’s commercial arbitration rules (formal or informal), and the arbitrator or arbitrators in any such arbitration (an “Arbitration”) shall be persons who are knowledgeable in the subject matter of the dispute. No demand for arbitration may be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim or dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Both the foregoing agreement of the Parties to arbitrate any and all such claims, and the results, determinations, findings, judgments and/or awards rendered through such Arbitration, shall be final and binding on the Parties and may be specifically enforced by legal proceedings. |
| | | | Any arbitration shall be conducted before a panel of arbitrators selected in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Each Party shall bear separately the cost of their respective attorneys, witnesses and experts in connection with such arbitration. Time is of the essence regarding this arbitration procedure, and the arbitrators shall be instructed and required to render their decision within 10 days following completion of the Arbitration. |
| | | | The Parties also agree that all awards, decisions and remedies in favor of a winning Party hereunder with respect to any issue shall be proportional to the violation caused by the losing Party with respect to that issue. All costs in conducting the Arbitration including the Arbitration filing fee, the arbitrator’s fees and expenses, and the prevailing Party’s reasonable legal fees and expenses (including legal fees and costs the prevailing Party incurs in seeking or resisting temporary or provisional court relief as set forth in Section 14(d) below), shall be the losing Party’s responsibility. If there are multiple issues in dispute and no Party prevails on them all, costs and legal fees shall be apportioned by the arbitrator according to the relative dollar value of each issue. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding. If either Party must resort to the judicial process to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the award of an arbitrator or equitable relief granted by an arbitrator, the Party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to recover from the other Party all costs of litigation including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs. |
| | | | The Parties agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement’s provisions and that any Party may, in its sole discretion, apply for and secure specific performance and/or injunctive relief, without bond, pending final resolution on the merits in order to enforce or prevent any violations of this |
21
| | | | Agreement’s provisions. Any such injunctive relief obtained shall be in addition to any remedies available by law. |
Section 15. General Provisions.
| | | | In the event of any litigation between the Parties to this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to immediate payment of all costs it incurred in the dispute, including, but not limited to, court or arbitration costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. |
| | (b) | | Subsidiaries and Affiliates. |
| | | | If the Company directs HomeServices Relocation to provide its services hereunder to any of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates, HomeServices Relocation is hereby authorized to provide such services and the Company agrees to guarantee the payments due HomeServices Relocation under the provisions of this Agreement should any subsidiary or affiliate be unwilling or unable to pay HomeServices Relocation. |
| | | | This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Minnesota. |
| | | | The Parties hereby agree that any suit, action or proceeding instituted against a Party hereto by the other Party may be brought in a state district court sitting in Hennepin County, Minnesota or the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. Each Party hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of said courts. |
| | | | Neither Party may assign this Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that HomeServices Relocation may assign its interest to an affiliated or successor entity upon prior written notice to the other Party. If an assignment is permitted, the assigning Party shall remain liable for all of its duties and obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment in violation of the provisions hereof shall be void and of no effect. The terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties’ successors. |
| | (f) | | No Third Party Beneficiaries. |
| | | | No Employee or other person, or entity, except for the Company and HomeServices Relocation shall have any enforceable rights under this Agreement. |
22
| | | | Either Party’s failure to insist, in any one or more instances, on strict performance of any of the provisions or terms of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any such provision or term, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. |
| | | | This Agreement contains the Parties’ entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior oral or written understandings between the Parties regarding the same. |
| | (i) | | No Oral Modification. |
| | | | This Agreement may not be terminated, modified, altered or amended orally. Any such termination, modification, alteration or amendment shall be in writing, duly executed by both Parties. |
| | | | If any provision in this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be impaired in any way, and the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision shall be fully severed from this Agreement, and there shall be automatically added a replacement provision as similar in terms and intent to such severed provision as may be legal, valid and enforceable. |
| | | | The captions and headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not be interpreted to affect the substance of the provisions of this Agreement. |
| | | | All notices given by either Party to the other shall be in writing and shall be given personally or sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Parties’ respective addresses set forth at the head of this Agreement. Any Party may change the address to which notices are to be sent by giving notice to the other in the manner provided above. Notices shall be deemed given upon receipt or three (3) days after mailing as aforesaid, whichever is earlier. |
| | (m) | | Equal Opportunity; Non-Discrimination. |
| | | | HomeServices Relocation is an equal opportunity employer and HomeServices Relocation shall sell, list and otherwise deal with each Property in full compliance with all laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of age, race, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, color, national origin, or marital status. |
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their
