Seller and Purchaser shall enter into a separate access easement agreement on the Date of Closing (as defined in Section 6.1) that sets forth the terms and conditions of such easement (including, without limitation, Seller’s obligations to reimburse Purchaser for Seller’s agreed upon share of all costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, repair, and replacement of such existing roads, Seller’s obligation to maintain commercial general liability insurance on which Purchaser is named as an additional insured or, so long as Seller is the owner in fee simple of the property benefited by said easement, to cause such risks to be covered by the self-insurance program maintained by the Bank of America, N.A., and Seller’s obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from liability arising from Seller’s use of said roads). To the extent that the survey work described in Section 1.1(a) reveals that water drainage occurs from the property retained by Seller into the Land, or from the Land into the property retained by Seller, Seller and Purchaser shall enter into a separate drainage easement agreement on the Date of Closing that sets forth the terms and conditions of the easement retained and/or granted accordingly; provided, however, such easement shall not unreasonably restrict future development of the encumbered property. To the extent that the survey work described in Section 1.1(a) reveals that utility lines of any kind cross the Land to serve the property retained by Seller, or cross the property retained by Seller to serve the Land, and such easement are not otherwise of record, Seller and Purchaser shall enter into a separate utility easement agreement on the Date of Closing that sets forth the terms and conditions of the easement retained and/or granted accordingly;

     1.2 Lease. At the time of Closing (as defined in Section 6.1), Bank of America, N.A., as Tenant, and Purchaser, as Landlord, shall enter into, execute and deliver a Lease of the daycare facility upon the terms and conditions and in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein (hereinafter called the “Lease”).
     1.3 Subdivision. Seller hereby advises Purchaser that the Land is part of a larger parcel of land. If it is determined that Seller is required to obtain subdivision approval from any state, regional, local or other governmental, administrative or quasi-governmental body or agency before it can convey the Land to Purchaser, then this Agreement shall be contingent upon Seller’s receipt of said subdivision approval. In such event, Seller shall submit the necessary application and other documents required for the subdivision approval promptly following such determination, and Seller shall diligently prosecute said application; all costs and expense shall be borne by Seller. Said contingency shall be deemed satisfied on the date on which (i) the subdivision approval has been granted to Seller on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser and (ii) all applicable appeal periods have expired without the filing of an appeal; if such subdivision approval imposes obligations or conditions that affect either Purchaser’s proposed use of the Property or Purchaser’s ability to construct additional buildings on the Land, said obligations or conditions shall be deemed unsatisfactory. The Date of Closing shall be postponed to the fifteenth (15 th ) day after said contingency is deemed satisfied; provided, however, if such contingency is not deemed satisfied on or before the one hundred eightieth (180 th ) day after the effective date of this Agreement, then Purchaser shall have the right, at any time thereafter, to cancel this Agreement, in which case the Earnest Money (as defined in Section 3.1) and the accrued interest (less the Independent Consideration, as defined in Section 3.2) shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall be released from all liability hereunder. The Independent Consideration shall be paid to Seller.
     1.4 Easements. Within forty-five (45) days after the effective date of this Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, for its review and approval, a draft of each of the easements described in Section 1.1(d). The parties agree to negotiate such easements in good faith. If the parties have not agreed upon the terms and conditions of all such easements on or before the Inspection Completion Date for any reason, then Purchaser shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.6.
2. PURCHASE PRICE

Unless adjusted as provided in Section 2.2, the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Property shall be SIX MILLION ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($6,100,000.00) U.S Dollars and shall be paid by wire transfer by Purchaser to Seller at the closing (as defined in Section 6.1 ).
     2.2 Price Adjustments.
     (a) Prior to the tenth (10 th ) day preceding the Date of Closing, Seller shall seek

3


 
to obtain tenants for only the following buildings: the facilities office building; and the warehouse building. As and when Seller identifies a prospective tenant for said buildings, Seller agrees to promptly notify Purchaser of the prospect’s name and the prospect’s proposed use. Before consummating any lease with a prospective tenant, Seller shall disclose to Purchaser the identity of the tenant (to the extent not previously disclosed), the area proposed for leasing, the terms and conditions of the proposed lease, and such other information as Purchaser may reasonable request (including, without limitation, financial information). Seller shall not grant and execute any such lease without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Seller hereby agrees that Purchaser may withhold its consent, and such action shall be deemed reasonable, if (i) the proposed tenant does not have sufficient financial worth (taking into consideration its obligations under the proposed lease), or (ii) the rent under the proposed lease is below the current fair market rent for comparable space, or (iii) the term of the proposed lease is for more than five (5) years, or (iv) the proposed tenant is a competitor; or (v) the proposed tenant intents to use the space for manufacturing, light manufacturing, distribution facility, or any other use or purpose incompatible with the anticipated uses of the Property by Purchaser, or any use that is not then permitted by the applicable zoning ordinances; provided, however, Seller acknowledges that the foregoing list is not intended to be a complete list and that there are other reasons why Purchaser may withhold its consent that are reasonable. In the event that any leases are granted by Seller prior to the tenth (10 th ) day preceding the Date of Closing, with prior approval of Purchaser, the Purchase Price shall be increased to reflect the increased value of the Property represented by such rental income; in calculating the increase in said value, the parties shall take into account the expenses related to such approved leases (including, without limitation, leasing commissions, tenant improvement expenses, free rent, and relocation expenses) and the party (Seller or Purchaser) financially responsible for such expenses. The parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine such price adjustments by mutual agreement.
     (b) From and after the tenth (10 th ) day preceding the Date of Closing, Seller shall have no right to seek tenants for any building on the Land.

If it is determined that the aggregate square footage of such buildings is 167,358 square feet or less or 204,549 square feet or more, then Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a true and complete photocopy of the measurement, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced (if the square footage is 167,358 or less) or increased (if the square footage is 204,549 or more) by an amount equal to the product of $32.80 multiplied by difference between 185,954 and the actual square footage. If Seller disputes said determination, then Seller shall cause a reputable, licensed architect or engineer to re-measure said buildings within ten (10) days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s determination and to deliver Purchaser a true and complete photocopy of such re-measurement within five (5) days after said ten (10) day period. In the event Seller fails to timely exercise such re-measurement right or to timely notify Purchaser of such re-measurement, then, in either case, the square footage determined by Purchaser’s architect or engineer shall be deemed to be the square footage of the buildings.

The Independent Consideration shall be paid to Seller.

If the estimated cost of Restoration is equal to or

16


 
less than $100,000.00, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, Purchaser shall close title on the Date of Closing and shall pay the entire Purchase Price, but Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the estimated cost of Restoration. If the estimated cost of Restoration is more than $100,000.00, then Purchaser may either (a) terminate this Agreement or (b) consummate the Closing, in which latter event Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the estimated cost of Restoration. If Purchaser exercises its termination right, then the Earnest Money Deposit and accrued interest (less the Independent Consideration) shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall be released from all liability hereunder. The Independent Consideration shall be paid to Seller.
     7.2 Condemnation . If, prior to Closing, the Property or any part thereof is taken, or any action is initiated or threatened to take any of the Property, by eminent domain proceedings or by deed in lieu thereof, Purchaser shall have ten (10) business days from receipt of written notice of such event from Seller to advise Seller that it intends to (a) terminate this Agreement or (b) consummate the Closing, in which latter event the award of the condemning authority shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing. If Seller does not receive any such notice from Purchaser within such ten (10) day period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (b) of this Section 7.2 . If Purchaser exercises its termination right, then the Earnest Money Deposit and accrued interest (less the Independent Consideration) shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall be released from all liability hereunder. The Independent Consideration shall be paid to Seller.
8. DEFAULT
     8.1 Breach by Seller . If Seller breaches this Agreement, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement and thereupon shall be entitled to the immediate return of the Earnest Money, together with all accrued interest thereon (less the Independent Consideration) or seek specific performance of this Agreement as its sole and exclusive remedy and relief hereunder. In no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for any actual, punitive, speculative, consequential or other damages.
     8.2 Breach by Purchaser . If Purchaser breaches this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and retain the Earnest Money and all interest accrued thereon, if any, as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) as Seller’s sole remedy and relief hereunder. Seller and Purchaser have made this provision for liquidated damages because it would be difficult to calculate on the date hereof the amount of actual damages for such breach, and these sums represent reasonable compensation to Seller for such breach. . In no event shall Purchaser be liable to Seller for any actual, punitive, speculative, consequential or other damages.

On the Date of Closing, the roof of each building on the Land shall be water tight and otherwise free from all water leaks, and all heating, ventilation and air conditioning fixtures and equipment located in each building on the Land shall be in good working order.
