Seller’s due diligence investigation of the Property
(collectively, the “Due Diligence Items”) for review by
Buyer. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Seller makes
no representation whatsoever regarding the accuracy or completeness

the date which is thirty (30) days after the Effective Date
(the “Due Diligence Period”), Buyer may investigate and

subject to Buyer’s approval under this Section include, but
shall not be limited to, marketing studies, land use and legal due
diligence, engineering studies, soils tests, physical inspections,
and environmental surveys with respect to the Property. In order to
facilitate Buyer’s investigation and analysis under this
Section 5.2, Seller grants Buyer the right to conduct such
inspections, reviews, examinations, and tests on the Property as
Buyer deems necessary or desirable to investigate the physical
condition of the Property, as well as access to relevant
information relating to the Property within Seller’s
possession or control (but, except as expressly provided in this
Agreement, Seller makes no representation regarding the accuracy or
completeness of such information). On or before the expiration of
the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall notify Seller as to which of
the Contracts it shall assume at Closing.
Seller and Buyer
acknowledge and agree that the existing tenant currently occupying
the Property (the “Existing Tenant”) is scheduled to
vacate the Property on or before August 13, 2006 (subject to
removal of personal property by August 31, 2006). In the event
the Existing Tenant has not vacated the Property and the Existing
Tenant’s personal property is not removed on or before the
expiration of the Due Diligence Period, (a) the Due Diligence
Period shall be extended on a day-for-day basis until such time as
the Existing Tenant does in fact vacate the Property and the
Existing Tenant’s personal property is removed, and
(b) in the event the Due Diligence Period is extended past
September 30, 2006 in accordance with the prior clause, the
Closing Date shall automatically be extended on a day-for-day basis
for the number of days equal to the number of days following
September 30, 2006 that the Existing Tenant remains in
possession of the Property.
Buyer shall have
the right in its sole and absolute discretion, which right shall be
exercised by Buyer providing written notice to Seller and Escrow
Agent on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, to
terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason, in which
event (a) neither Buyer nor Seller will have any further obligation
to the other party under this Agreement (except to the extent of
any indemnities under this Agreement with respect to events
occurring before such termination, which indemnities shall survive
any such termination), and (b) Escrow Agent shall, without
requiring any further instructions, immediately return the Deposit
plus any interest accrued thereon to Buyer. If Buyer has not so
notified Seller and terminated this Agreement on or before the
expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then, subject to its
termination rights under Sections 5.3, 5.4 and 17 hereof,
Buyer shall be obligated to proceed to close the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with its
terms.
5.3.
Status of Title and Survey . Buyer may obtain at its sole
cost and expense an ALTA/ACSM survey of the Property (the
“Survey”) and a commitment for Title Insurance (the
“Title Commitment”) for an ALTA Owner’s Policy to
be issued by a title insurance company of Buyer’s choice (the
“Title Company”). Buyer shall have until the expiration
of the Due Diligence Period (such date for Buyer’s approval
or disapproval of status of title, the “Title Approval
Date”) to approve or disapprove title matters. If Buyer
disapproves of any of the matters shown in the Title Commitment or
the Survey
3
(which shall
also include UCC-1 Financing Statements filed with the Florida
Secretary of State) (“Disapproved Title Exceptions”)
before the Title Approval Date and evidences its disapproval by
giving written notice (“Buyer’s Title Notice”) of
its disapproval to Escrow Agent and Seller on or before the Title
Approval Date, then on or before ten (10) days after the Title
Approval Date, Seller shall notify Buyer of those Disapproved Title
Exceptions that Seller shall cause to be deleted from the Title
Policy (as defined below) or Survey, as applicable (the
“Seller’s Response Notice”); provided, however
that Seller shall be obligated to cause all Monetary Encumbrances
(as hereinafter defined) to be satisfied by Seller (or otherwise
transferred to bond) at or prior to Closing; provided, further,
however, that if Seller fails to provide the Seller’s
Response Notice within ten (10) days following Seller’s
receipt of the Buyer’s Title Notice, Seller shall be deemed
to have elected not to cure any of the Disapproved Title Exceptions
(other than any Monetary Encumbrances which it is obligated to
cure). Within ten (10) days following Buyer’s receipt of
the Seller’s Response Notice (or twenty (20) days
following Seller’s receipt of the Buyer’s Title Notice
to the extent Seller fails to send a Seller’s Response
Notice), Buyer may, by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent,
either (a) waive its prior disapproval of the remaining
Disapproved Title Exceptions, in which event such remaining
Disapproved Title Exceptions shall cease to be Disapproved Title
Exceptions, or (b) terminate this Agreement, in which event
(i) neither Buyer nor Seller will have any further obligation
to the other party under this Agreement (except to the extent of
any indemnities under this Agreement with respect to events
occurring before such termination, which indemnities shall survive
any such termination), and (ii) Escrow Agent shall, without
requiring any further instructions, immediately return the Deposit
plus any interest accrued thereon to Buyer; provided, however, that
Buyer’s failure to provide written notice within the ten
(10) day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of the
remaining Disapproved Title Exceptions. Buyer shall have the
continuing right to receive updates of, or endorsements to, the
Title Commitment and Survey and Seller shall be obligated to remove
at or prior to Closing all new matters which may be raised as
objections by Buyer, unless the same are caused by
Buyer.
5.4.
Owner’s Policy . On or before the Closing, Title
Company must be prepared to issue to Buyer an Owner’s Policy
of Title Insurance for the Property (the “Title
Policy”) effective as of the Closing Date, collectively
insuring Buyer in the amount of the Purchase Price that fee simple
title to the Property will be vested in Buyer upon Closing, subject
to (a) liens for taxes and assessments not yet due and payable
or delinquent, (b) those exceptions to title described in the
Title Commitment other than the Disapproved Title Exceptions, and
(c) those matters appearing in any updates of, or endorsements
to, the Title Commitment to the extent the same are caused by
Buyer. Except as specifically provided in Section 5.3 above or
the following sentence, Seller shall not be in default under this
Agreement and shall not be liable to Buyer for the failure to
remove any item identified by the Title Company as an exception to
title. Seller shall only be in default under this Agreement with
respect to title issues if Seller fails to cause the removal from
the Title Policy of (i) a Monetary Encumbrance, or
(ii) any matter appearing in the chain of title after the
effective date of the Title Commitment and shown as an exception in
an endorsement to, or update of, the Title Commitment or the
Survey, unless the same is caused by Buyer, in which event Buyer
shall be entitled to all legal and equitable remedies available to
Buyer due to Seller’s default. As used in Sections 5.3
and 5.4, “Monetary Encumbrance” means a lien upon the
Property, including without limitation mechanic’s or
construction lien claims, that can be fully satisfied and removed
as an exception to title (as determined by Title Company) by the
payment of a liquidated amount of money.
5.5.
Pre-Closing Occupancy . Within thirty (30) days
following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer or its
permitted assignee hereunder shall enter into a lease with Seller
(in the form of that contained in Exhibit “B
” attached hereto and by this reference made a part
hereof (the “Occupancy Agreement”)) to occupy the
Property from that date (the “Date of Occupancy”) until
Closing (the date of execution of such Occupancy Agreement shall be
the Commencement Date (as
4
therein
defined)); provided, however, that (i) Buyer has not
terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof;
(ii) Buyer is not in default under this Agreement and the
Additional Deposit has been received by Escrow Agent;
(iii) this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance
with its terms, (iv) the Occupancy Agreement shall be triple
net (net, net, net) and shall provide that Buyer shall pay for all
operating expenses associated with the Property, including real
estate taxes, casualty and public liability insurance, utilities,
janitorial expenses and maintenance costs; provided, however, that
in no event shall Buyer be responsible for making any debt service
or other payments under the Existing Loan or any capital repairs or
improvements to the Property; and (v) Buyer shall take
occupancy of the Property pursuant to the Occupancy Agreement
“as is”, without any representations or warranties of
any kind, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and that
Buyer’s taking possession of the Property shall be conclusive
evidence that the Property is in a condition acceptable to the
Buyer in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement
as of the Date of Occupancy. The occurrence of an Event of Default
(as such term is defined in the Occupancy Agreement) under the
Occupancy Agreement shall be a default under this Agreement, and
the occurrence of a default under this Agreement shall be an Event
of Default (as such term is defined in the Occupancy Agreement)
under the Occupancy Agreement, it being the intention of Buyer and
Seller to cross-default this Agreement and the Occupancy Agreement
so that a default (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods)
under one is a default under the other. Further, in the event that
this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, the
Occupancy Agreement shall automatically terminate as of such
date.
