3.3           Within ten (10) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser its existing “as-built” survey of the Land and Improvements (the “Survey”).  Prior to Closing, Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, have the Survey re-certified to Purchaser and to the Title Company, in form acceptable to Purchaser.
 
3.4           Purchaser shall have until the end of the Inspection Period (hereinafter defined) in which to review the Title Commitment, Exception Documents, and the Survey.  In the event any matters appear that are unacceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall, within said Inspection Period, notify Seller in writing of such fact and specify the reason such matter(s) are not satisfactory, and the curative steps necessary to remove the objections stated.  If Purchaser does not so notify Seller within the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted all exceptions to title referenced in the Title Commitment and all matters shown on the Survey.   Any exceptions contained in the Title Commitment to which Purchaser does not object shall be included in the term "Permitted Exceptions" as used herein.  In the event that Purchaser does object to any title exceptions or other matters within the Inspection Period, Seller shall have ten (10) days after receipt of such objections to eliminate or modify same to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser.    In the event that Seller is unable or unwilling to eliminate or modify such items to the satisfaction of Purchaser on or before the expiration of said time period, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of such fact within said such time period.  If Seller fails to provide such written notice, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to modify or eliminate such items upon the expiration of such ten (10) day period.  Upon receipt of such notice (or the deemed election not to modify or eliminate), except for any exceptions Seller commits to eliminate or modify (which Seller shall so eliminate or modify on or before the Closing Date), Seller shall have no obligation whatsoever to expend or agree to expend any funds, to undertake or agree to undertake any obligations or otherwise to cure, eliminate, or modify any title objections, and Seller shall not be deemed to have any such obligation unless Seller expressly undertakes such an obligation by written notice.  Within five (5) days of receipt of Seller’s written election (or deemed election) not to eliminate or modify any of Purchaser’s objections, Purchaser may either (i) waive such objections and accept title to the Property subject to such unacceptable items (which items shall then be deemed to constitute part of the "Permitted Exceptions"), or (ii) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and receive an immediate refund of the Earnest Money less the Contract Consideration, whereupon this Agreement shall automatically be rendered null and void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions hereof expressly surviving such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be required to make any objection to the matters shown on Schedule "C" to the Title Commitment, which matters are hereby deemed to be unacceptable.

INSPECTION
 
6.1           Seller agrees that Purchaser shall have thirty (30) days from the Effective Date ("Inspection Period") in which to make, at Purchaser's sole expense, all inspections or investigations desired by Purchaser with respect to the Property or any portion thereof.  In that regard Purchaser, personally or through its authorized agents or representatives, shall be entitled to enter upon the Land and the Improvements at all reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice to Seller; provided however, that Seller shall be entitled to require Purchaser’s agents and representatives to be accompanied by Seller’s representatives during any inspection of the Property.  In no event shall Purchaser nor any agent, representative, or contractor of Purchaser be entitled to enter onto the Property for purposes of making any such inspections until and unless Seller shall have been furnished with an appropriate certificate of insurance in favor of Seller, confirming that Purchaser or such agent, representative or contractor has liability insurance currently in full force and effect, covering the activities of such persons on the Property in an amount which is not less than Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) in which Seller is named as a party insured.
 
The Property shall be restored to its present condition after any tests or inspections, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.  Purchaser may not conduct any invasive or destructive testing without the prior written approval of Seller, which may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion.  Purchaser’s inspection activities will be conducted in a manner that will result in the least possible interference with the ongoing operations of the Property and will not violate any of the rights of tenants at the Property or the Tenant Leases.  Purchaser acknowledges that the Federal Bureau of Prisons (“FBOP”) and/or other government agencies occupy the Property, and for security purposes, access to the Property is limited or restricted.  In that regard, Purchaser agrees that its inspection of the Property will necessarily occur at a time that will be arranged and coordinated by Seller with the FPOB, and a representative of Seller will need to be present at all times during the inspection and will need to escort Purchaser’s representative(s) during their inspection of the Property.  All inspections must be conducted in accordance with the terms of the Tenant Leases, and in the event of a conflict with the rights granted herein and the Tenant Leases, Seller shall only be responsible for allowing access to the Property to the extent permitted in the Tenant Leases.

Following the expiration of the Inspection Period, if Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement, Purchaser shall continue to have the right to enter upon the Property on the same terms stated above, notwithstanding the fact that the Inspection Period has expired.

ARTICLE IX
COMMISSIONS
 
9.1            Each party hereto represents to the other that it has not authorized any broker or finder to act on its behalf in connection with the sale and purchase hereunder and that it has not dealt with any broker or finder purporting to act for any other party, other than Gordon Smith-Real Estate Services and Century 21-John Lucas (“Agents”).  Seller agrees to pay a real estate commission equal to two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price to Century 21-John Lucas, and acknowledges that such agent has agreed to split the fee equally iwth Gordon Smith Real Estate Services, which real estate commission shall only be earned, vested, due and payable, if, as and when the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall actually close and Seller shall receive the Purchase Price. Each party hereto agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against any and all liabilities, costs, damages and expenses of any kind or character arising from any claims for brokerage or finder's fees, commissions or other similar fees, other than commissions due to Agents (which are payable by Seller), in connection with the transactions covered by this Agreement insofar as such claims shall be based upon alleged arrangements or agreements made by such party or on its behalf.  This Agreement shall survive Closing.


ARTICLE X
TERMINATION, DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
 
10.1           If this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser because of any authorization to do so specified in this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as a "Permitted Termination"), except as otherwise expressly discussed herein, the Earnest Money less the Contract Consideration shall be immediately returned to Purchaser, whereupon neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those obligations surviving the termination of this Agreement.
 
10.2           In the event that any of the Seller's representations or warranties contained herein are untrue or if Seller shall have failed to have performed any of the covenants and/or agreements contained herein which are to be performed by Seller, and such untruth or failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after the receipt of written notice from Purchaser of the same, or if Seller fails to close this Agreement when required hereunder, for any reason other than a Permitted Termination or a default of Purchaser hereunder, Purchaser may, at its option, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies, either (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller and receive a full and immediate refund of all Earnest Money less the Contract Consideration; or (b) seek to enforce specific performance of this Agreement.  Any such action for specific performance must be instituted, if at all, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the breach or alleged breach by Seller and, if such action is not so instituted within such period of time, then Purchaser shall have been deemed to conclusively to have waived the right to institute such action and to have elected to pursue the other remedies provided herein.  In addition, no action for specific performance may be instituted by Purchaser against Seller with respect to any breach of a representation and warranty or failure of any condition due to any cause not reasonably within the control of Seller, Purchaser’s remedies in such event being limited to termination or waiver as described above.

 
Page 16

 

If Purchaser closes the purchase of the Property and subsequently discovers that any of the Seller's representations or warranties contained herein are untrue, Purchaser may seek damages for Seller's breach of such representations and warranties.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if  Seller is unable or unwilling to consummate this transaction on the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, for any reason other than a Permitted Termination or a breach by Purchaser, and specific performance is not an available remedy due to Seller’s sale, lease, or encumbrance of the Property, and Seller’s failure to close continues for a period of five (5) days after the receipt of written notice from Purchaser of the same, then Purchaser shall have the further option of receiving a full and immediate refund of all Earnest Money less the Contract Consideration, and obtaining from Seller an amount equal to the actual out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with this transaction. Seller shall pay such amount within thirty (30) days after demand from Purchaser and proof of the incurrence and payment of such amounts and the relation to this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that in the event Purchaser elects this damage remedy, Purchaser shall not be entitled to seek specific performance.
 
10.3           In the event that any of the Purchaser's representations or warranties contained herein are untrue or if Purchaser shall have failed to have performed any of the covenants and/or agreements contained herein which are to be performed by Purchaser, and such untruth or failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after the receipt of written notice from Seller of the same, or if Purchaser fails to close the transaction contemplated hereby for any reason other than a Permitted Termination or a breach by Seller, and Purchaser’s failure to close continues for a period of five (5) days after the receipt of written notice from Seller of the same, Seller shall be entitled to receive the Earnest Money as liquidated damages as Seller's sole and exclusive remedy for such breach of this Agreement, Seller hereby specifically waiving any and all rights which it may have to damages or specific performance as a result of Purchaser's default under this Agreement, whereupon both parties shall be relieved of and released from any further liability hereunder except for the surviving obligations.  Seller and Purchaser agree that the Earnest Money is a fair and reasonable amount to be retained by Seller as agreed and liquidated damages in light of Seller’s removal of the Property from the market and the costs incurred by Seller and shall not constitute a penalty or a forfeiture.  Nothing herein shall in any way limit Seller’s remedies against Purchaser in the event of a breach of a surviving obligation or an indemnity obligation of Purchaser hereunder.  The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI
RISK OF LOSS
 
11.1           Risk of all loss, destruction, or damage to the Property, or any portion thereof, from any and all causes whatsoever until consummation of the Closing shall be borne by Seller.  If, prior to Closing, any insured loss to the Improvements occurs and the cost of repair exceeds $350,000.00 (as determined by Seller and its contractors in consultation with Purchaser) or access to the Property is materially impaired, or the Property is destroyed or taken under power of eminent domain and the cost or repair exceeds $350,000.00 (as determined by Seller and its contractors in consultation with Purchaser) (a “Material Event”), Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of its election to Seller within twenty (20) days after receiving notice of such destruction or taking.  If Purchaser does not give such written notice within such twenty (20) day period, this transaction shall be consummated on the date and at the Purchase Price stated herein, and Seller will assign to Purchaser the proceeds of all insurance policy(ies) payable to Seller, or Seller’s portion of any condemnation award, in both cases, up to the amount of the Purchase Price, and credit to Purchaser at Closing the amount of any deductible under Seller’s insurance policy(ies) but not to exceed the amount of the loss.
 
11.2           If, prior to Closing, the Property is subject to an insured casualty or a condemnation event that is not a Material Event, Purchaser shall close this transaction on the date and at the Purchase Price stated herein, and Seller will assign to Purchaser the physical damage proceeds of all insurance policies payable to Seller, or Seller’s rights to any portion of any condemnation award, in both cases, up to the amount of the Purchase Price and pay to Purchaser the amount of any deductible under Seller’s insurance policy(ies) but not to exceed the amount of the loss.
 
11.3           If, prior to Closing, any uninsured loss to the Property occurs that Seller does not repair to Purchaser’s satisfaction at Seller’s sole cost and expense, Purchaser may either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and receive back the Earnest Money, less the Contract Consideration or (ii) proceed to Closing without any reduction to the Purchase Price or any other compensation for the loss.
 
11.4           If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this section, and if Purchaser is not, on the date of such election, in default under the Agreement, Seller shall promptly direct the Title Company to pay the Earnest Money, less the Contract Consideration, to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further liability hereunder except for the surviving obligations.
