PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
This Purchase and Sale Agreement, made and entered into this
/ /Aof October, 1988 by and between the City of TAMARAC (herein-
after referred to as "Seller") and JEFFREY L. BERKOWITZ, Trustee
and/or his assigns (hereinafter referred to as "Purchaser").
W I T N E S S E T H:
For and in consideration of the sum of Ten and No/100
Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, to
each party in hand paid to the other, receipt whereof is hereby
acknowledged, as well as in consideration of the promises, cove-
nants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby
agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale. Seller agrees to sell to Purchaser
and Purchaser agrees to buy from Seller that certain parcel of
property described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part
of this Agreement; together with (i) all of the improvements
located thereon and all and singular the tenements, hereditaments
and appurtenances thereto, including all easements, privileges,
rights of way, and rights, belonging to or inuring to the benefit
of the subject property, and (ii) all transferable licenses or
permits issued by any federal, state or municipal authority
relating to the development, use, maintenance or occupation of
the subject property (the foregoing being hereinafter referred to
as the "Realty" or the "Property"). Where reference is made in
this Agreement to "Phase I Property" or "Phase II Property", such
terms shall mean those portions of the Property designated in
Exhibit "A" as the Phase I Property and Phase II Property,
respectively.
. 2. Purchase Price. The purchase price to be paid by the
Purchaser to the Seller for the Property is Two Million Seven
Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,750,000.00) (the
"Purchase Price"), of which One Million Nine Hundred Thousand and
No/100 Dollars ($1,900,000.00) shall be paid for the Phase I
Property (the "Phase I Purchase Price") and Eight Hundred Fifty
Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($850,000.00) shall be paid for the
Phase II Property (the "Phase II Purchase Price"). The Purchase
Price is predicated upon the Realty containing 10.43 acres, net
of any existing or required dedications (which shall not be
deemed to include easements). If a survey delivered pursuant to
paragraph 6 reflects such figure of 10.43 to be incorrect, then
the Purchase Price shall be appropriately increased or decreased
accordingly, with such increase or decrease, as the case may be,
allocated proportionately between the Phase I Purchase Price and
the Phase II Purchase Price. Since the area of any dedications
may not be known until the platting contemplated by subparagraph
7(b) is completed, the survey shall be recertified after such
replatting is finalized, but in any event before the Phase I
Closing (as hereinafter defined), to recalculate the "net"
acreage of the Realty after said replatting.
3. Phase I Deposit. Simultaneously with the execution
hereof by Purchaser, Purchaser shall deliver to Greenberg,
Traurig, Hoffman, Lipoff, Rosen & Quentel, P.A., as Escrow Agent
("Escrow Agent"), the sum of Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($5,000.00) (the "Phase I Deposit") as a deposit on account of
the Phase I Purchase Price. By no later than January 10, 1989,
Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent a clean, irrevocable
letter of credit in the amount of Three Hundred Thousand and
No/100 Dollars ($300,000.00) (the "Letter of Credit"). The
Letter of Credit shall be issued by a Bank or savings institution
located in Dade or Broward County, Florida, in a form reasonably
acceptable to Seller, and shall be drawable upon by the Escrow
Agent if the transaction contemplated by this Agreement with
respect to the Phase I Property does not close in accordance with
its terms due to a default by Purchaser without a default by
Seller and with no failure of any condition precedent to
Purchaser's obligations. The Letter of Credit shall then
- 2 -
1�E�Yaydj
constitute the Phase I Deposit and Escrow Agent is hereby
authorized to draw upon the Letter of Credit in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement. Upon delivery by Purchaser to
Escrow Agent of the Letter of Credit, Escrow Agent shall return
to Purchaser the initial Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($5,000.00) Phase I Deposit. Escrow Agent is authorized, and
agrees by acceptance thereof, to hold the Phase I Deposit and to
disburse the Phase I Deposit in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement as follows:
(a) If the transaction contemplated by this Agree-
ment is closed with respect to the Phase I Property, then the
Letter of Credit shall be returned by Escrow Agent to Purchaser
at the Phase I Closing.
(b) If the transaction contemplated by this Agree-
ment with respect to the Phase I Property does not close due to a
failure of a condition precedent to Purchaser's obligations here-
under, unless Purchaser waives said failed condition precedent,
. the Letter of Credit shall be returned to Purchaser, the trans-
action shall be rescinded, and all parties shall be relieved from
all further obligations hereunder.
(c) If the transaction contemplated by this Agree-
ment does not close with respect to the Phase I Property due to a
default by Seller, then the Letter of Credit shall at the option
of Purchaser be returned to Purchaser, whereupon all parties
shall be released from all further obligations hereunder; or in
the alternative, Purchaser may seek specific performance of
Seller's obligations hereunder; provided, further, that Purchaser
shall be entitled to any other legal or equitable remedies
available to Purchaser in the event that Seller wilfully breaches
its agreement to convey title to the Phase I Property to
Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof.
(d) If the transaction contemplated by this Agree-
ment with respect to the Phase I Property does not close due to a
default by the Purchaser with no default by Seller and with no
MM
W-&?-;2-.
failure of any condition precedent to Purchaser's obligations
hereunder, then Seller's sole remedy shall be payment to it of
the Three Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($300,000.00)
realized from Escrow Agent's drawing under the Letter of Credit,
as liquidated damages, whereupon all parties shall be relieved
from all further obligations hereunder. If Purchaser fails to
deliver Escrow Agent the Letter of Credit by the date specified
above, then Seller's sole remedy shall be payment to it of the
initial Phase I Deposit, whereupon all parties shall be relieved
from all further obligations hereunder.
4. Phase II� Deposit. At the Phase I Closing, Purchaser
shall deliver to Escrow Agent the sum of Eighty -Five Thousand and
No/100 Dollars ($85,000.00) as a deposit on account of the Phase

savings account or similar savings certificate designated by
. Purchaser. Escrow Agent is authorized, and agrees by acceptance
thereof, to hold the Phase II Deposit and to thereafter disburse
the Phase II Deposit in accordance with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement as follows:
(a) If Purchaser closes upon the Phase II Property
(or any portion thereof), then the Phase II Deposit, together
with all interest earned thereon, shall be paid to Seller, and •
shall be credited to Purchaser as a portion of the cash to close,
at the time of such closing; it being understood and agreed that
the Phase II Deposit (and interest thereon) shall be paid to
Seller, and Purchaser shall receive credit therefore, on a
proportionate basis if Purchaser elects to close on the Phase II
Property in stages (as hereinafter provided).
(b) If the transaction contemplated by this Agree-
ment with respect to the Phase II Property (or any portion
thereof) does not close due to a failure of a condition precedent
to Purchaser's obligations hereunder, unless Purchaser waives
- 4 -
_i�d2ra`' A
said failed condition precedent, the Phase II Deposit (or
remainder thereof) together with all interest earned thereon
shall be paid to Purchaser, the transaction shall be rescinded,
and all parties shall be relieved from all further obligations
. hereunder.
(c) If the transaction contemplated by this Agree-
ment with respect to the Phase II Property (or any portion
thereof) does not close due to a default by Seller, then the
Phase II Deposit (or remainder thereof), together with all
interest earned thereon, shall at the option of Purchaser be paid
over to Purchaser, whereupon all parties shall be released from
all further obligations hereunder; or in the alternative,
Purchaser may seek specific performance of Seller's obligations
hereunder; provided, further, that Purchaser shall be entitled to
any other legal or equitable remedies available to Purchaser in
the event that Seller wilfully breaches its agreement to convey
title to the Phase II Property to Purchaser in accordance with
the terms hereof.
(d) If the transaction contemplated by this Agree-
ment with respect to the Phase II Property does not close due to
a default by the Purchaser with no default by Seller and with no
failure of any condition precedent to Purchaser's obligations
hereunder, then Seller's sole remedy shall be payment to it of
the Phase II Deposit, or remainder thereof, together with all
interest earned thereon, as liquidated damages, whereupon all
parties shall be relieved from all further obligations hereunder.
5. Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price (or
portion thereof) shall be paid to Seller at each closing, in
cash, certified check or cashier's check. Said cash to close
shall be adjusted by any credits, debits or prorations required

days from the date of this Agreement, deliver to the attorneys
for the Purchaser, Greenberg, Traurig, Hoffman, Lipoff, Rosen &
�7=
)�- 0a'70
Quentel, P.A., at 1221 Brickell Avenue, Miami, Florida 33131 as
evidence of Seller's title to the Realty (the "Title Evidence") a
copy of the owner's title policy issued by Lawyers Title Guaranty
Fund insuring Seller's title to the Realty, together with a
• certified "CRT" Attorney's Title Services computer title search
(and name search) covering the period from the effective date of
said policy through a date not earlier than the date of this
Agreement. The Title Evidence shall be accompanied by "hard
copies" of all title exceptions reflected therein. The Title
Evidence shall show Seller's title to the Property to be good,
marketable and insurable. Seller shall convey a good and
marketable title in accordance with the standards adopted from
time to time by the Florida Bar, free and clear of all reverter
clauses and reservations, whether in favor of any individual or
governmental unit, unless Purchaser is able to obtain affirmative
title insurance as to such reverter and/or reservations and such
reverter and/or reservations do not, and will not, adversely
• affect Purchaser's intended development of the Property.
Purchaser's attorney shall have thirty (30) days from the date of
receiving the Title Evidence to examine the same. If the examina-
tion of the Title Evidence (or any other examination of Seller's
title to the Realty made by Purchaser or at Purchaser's
direction) reflects title to be in a condition other than as
represented herein, Purchaser's attorney shall within five (5)
days after said thirty (30) day review period, notify Seller of
the defects rendering the title unmarketable. Seller shall use
Seller's best efforts to cure such defects no later than thirty
(30) days after receipt of notice of the same. Seller agrees to
remove by payment, bonding or otherwise any lien affecting the
Property capable of removal by the payment of money or bonding.
Seller shall bring suit, if necessary, to cure any other defect
or to buyout or settle any other claim or lien against the
Property created by Seller. In the event that Seller does not
eliminate all defects as of the date provided hereunder after
using its best efforts to do so, Purchaser shall have the option
of either (1) extending the time period for Seller to accomplish
said corrective title action by up to ninety ( 90 ) days in which
event the closing date shall, similarly be extended, (2) closing
and accepting the title as is, without diminution of the Purchase
Price or any damages against Seller, or (3) cancelling this
Agreement in which event Escrow Agent shall return to Purchaser
the Deposit, together with all interest earned thereon, whereupon
all parties shall be released from all further obligations under
this Agreement. If option (1) above is elected and title is not
cleared by Seller by the extended title clearance date, Purchaser
shall then elect either option (2) or (3) above.
7. Survey. Purchaser may, at its option and at its sole
cost and expense, cause a survey of the Realty to be prepared by
a surveyor licensed in Florida or professional engineer
registered in Florida. The survey shall be of such character
that it shall be sufficient to permit a title insurance company
to delete any exception in an owner's or mortgagee's policy of
title insurance pertaining to discrepancies in area or boundary
lines, encroachments or similar matters. The survey shall be
certified to Purchaser and, if requested by Purchaser, to the
title company insuring title to the realty and said title
company's agent. The survey shall further indicate:
(a) the perimeter boundaries of the Realty; •
(b) the location of all easements within or
traversing the Realty, if any;
(c) if requested by Purchaser, the location of all
roadways traversing, adjoining or bounding the Realty;
(d) the number of square feet of land within the
Realty and the number of square feet of such land subject to any
dedications; and

be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement.

Any defects disclosed in said survey shall be treated
as a title defect hereunder.
8. Conditions Precedent. The following shall constitute
conditions precedent to Purchaser's obligation to close this
transaction (with respect to both the Phase I Property and the
Phase II Property), any one or more of which may be waived by the
Purchaser:
(a) Special Use Exce tion. It shall be a condition
precedent to Purchaser's obligation hereunder that Purchaser
shall have obtained any special use exception necessary to allow
for the construction and full utilization of a gas station with
ancillary car maintenance services customarily found at gas
service stations (but specifically excluding, without limitation,
car painting and car repair services) (the "Gas Station

defined below) (the "Station Property").
(b) Master Land Map Amendment. It shall be a condi-
tion precedent to both Seller's and Purchaser's obligations here-

the Property can be fully utilized for all permissible commercial
uses under a commercial B-2 zoning classification. If the fore-
going condition precedent is not satisfied at the time of closing

date as provided in paragraph 12, Seller shall be deemed to have
agreed with Purchaser's election.
(c) Zoning - It shall be a condition precedent to
Purchaser's obligation hereunder that once the above -described

change is approved by Purchaser in its sole and absolute discre-
tion.
(d) Platting - In the event a replatting or platting
of the Property ("Platting") is required in order for Purchaser
to develop the Property as contemplated by Purchaser and in
accordance with the concept site plan attached hereto as Exhibit

to Purchaser's obligations hereunder that such Platting be

action shall be completed by the Seller, at Seller's cost, prior
to closing, except for that corrective action which is not
accomplishable until the expiration of the Lease. Notwith-
standing the foregoing, if such corrective action will cost more
than $100,000.00, and Purchaser does not agree with Seller that
it will pay such excess, then Seller may elect not to take such
corrective action. In such event, the Deposit shall be returned
to Purchaser and both parties released from all further obliga-

both cooperate in good faith to determine the cost of such
corrective action and whether this transaction will proceed.

the Improvements as if they were completed on the closing date.
No moratorium or other impediment to the providing of any such
utility service shall exist as of the closing date.

said signs, said permits shall be issuable to Purchaser or its
0 assigns at or prior to the closing without the payment of any
extraordinary fees and shall be freely assignable to each of the
lot owners and/or tenants without the payment of any additional

to any aspect of any of the Property. In the event that a lien,
claim or cause of action should arise before or after closing,
resulting from any activities upon or pertaining to the Property,
or the operation thereof prior to closing, which, in either case,
results from the act or omission of Seller, Seller shall, at its
sole cost and expense, defend against such claim or cause of
action, and hold Purchaser harmless therefrom, which shall
include, but not be limited to, Seller's retaining such attorneys
or other persons as may be required to fulfill this indemnifica-

U.S.C. § 9601 et sec.); asbestos or asbestos -related products;
oils; petroleum -derived compounds; or pesticides (all of which

sions, water discharges, noise emissions or Hazardous Materials,
if any, or any other environmental, health or safety matters

Seller's knowledge, Seller has complied with all federal, state
and local environmental laws and regulations affecting the Prop-
erty. In the event that any Hazardous Materials are discovered

Purchaser therefor under this paragraph if such Hazardous
Materials were deposited on the Property by Seller or otherwise

Seller's tenancy under the Lease or arose during Seller's owner-
ship or leasing of the Property. Seller's liability under this
subparagraph 9(g) shall be limited to $100,000.00 if, and only
if, such Hazardous Materials were existing on the Property when
the environmental audit described in subparagraph 7(c) was made.

10. Purchaser's Entry on Realty. From and after the

reasonably deem necessary to advertise Purchaser's prospective
acquisition of the Realty, and the prospective availability of
the Realty for lease, sale and/or construction for third party
usage. Said signs shall be located so as not to interfere with
Seller's use of the Realty and shall comply with the requirements
of the City of Tamarac Code of Ordinances (which Seller, repre-
sents do not prohibit such signage). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Purchaser shall not be permitted to erect and maintain
such signage on a specific portion of the Phase II Property until
it has closed on that portion of the Phase II Property.
From and after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser
and Purchaser's agents and employees may, upon reasonable notice
to Seller, enter upon the Property at such times and at such
locations so as not to unreasonably interfere with Seller's use
of the Property, for the purpose of taking test borings and
conducting such other tests and studies as Purchaser may deem
reasonably necessary to develop the Property. Purchaser shall
indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any damage or injury
caused by Purchaser's entry on the Property and shall not permit
any liens to attach to the Property prior to closing on account
of Purchaser's activities on the Property.
11. Leaseback of Premises. It is understood that Seller
desires to continue to operate the public works facility present-
ly located on the Phase I Property for a period of time to follow
the Phase I Closing (as hereinafter defined) and, accordingly,
Seller shall not deliver possession to the Purchaser of the Phase
=10M
I Property at the Phase I Closing, but shall continue to occupy
and possess the Phase I Property pursuant to the terms of the
Lease to be entered into between Seller and Purchaser at
closing. Said Lease shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to
the parties (with the Lease to be attached as Exhibit "C" to this
Agreement within thirty (30) days from the date of this
Agreement) and shall provide for the following:
(a) The Seller shall pay to the Purchaser monthly
rent in advance equal to the amount of interest owed by Purchaser
from time to time to Purchaser's lender with respect to the One
Million Nine Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,900,000.00)
portion of the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser to Seller at the
Phase I Closing, provided that Seller's rental payment shall not
take into account, and Seller shall not be obligated to pay,
interest charged to Purchaser in excess of 1% over the rate
quoted from time to time by Citibank as its prime rate, if any.
Said sum shall be due on the first (lst) day of each month, and
shall be calculated based upon a statement delivered from
Purchaser to Seller on the fifteenth (15th) day of each month
calculating the amount due in respect to the next succeeding
month based upon the relevant interest rate in effect as of the
date of said statement. At the end of the Lease term, the
Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a statement reconciling the
r
amount of the interest actually due and owing from the Purchaser
to its lender in respect to said One Million Nine Hundred
Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,900,000.00) and comparing the
amount thus calculated with the amount actually paid by the Sel-
ler as rent and the difference, if any, shall be adjusted between
the parties upon the expiration of the Lease.
(b) All real estate taxes, liability and hazard
• insurance, assessments and any other expenses pertaining to the
Phase I Property shall be paid by the Seller during the term of
the Lease.
- 15 -

(c) The Lease shall be a net lease pursuant to which
all expenses pertaining to the Property during the term of the
Lease, including, but not limited to, all maintenance, security,
repairs, etc. shall be paid by the Seller it being the intention
of the parties that the Purchaser not incur any expense whatso-
ever in connection with the Phase I Property during the term of
the Lease.
(d) To the extent permitted by law, Seller shall
indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any loss, liability or
expense Purchaser may incur as a result of or arising out of any
matters pertaining to the Phase I Property during the term of the
Lease, except for such matters directly attributable to the
actions of Purchaser, its agents or employees. Seller acknowl-
edges and agrees that under subparagraph 10(b) above, Seller
shall be obligated to pay (or reimburse Purchaser for the cost
of) insurance coverage obtained by Purchaser with respect to the
Phase I Property and its ownership thereof.
• (e) The Seller shall have (i) vacated the Phase I
Property, demolished all of the existing public works facilities
and improvements located thereon and removed all debris
(including, without limitation, the removal of all underground
tanks and the filling of any holes created thereby) and (ii)
completed any corrective action required by Seller under subpara-
graph 7(c) but not accomplishable until the expiration of the
Lease, all at Seller's sole cost and expense, prior to the
expiration of the Lease. Seller has the absolute right to the
salvage value and the right to remove any and all parts and
portions of the facilities and improvements located on the Phase
I Property.
(f) The Lease shall require Seller to maintain the
• Phase I Property in the same condition as existed at the time of
the Phase I Closing, except for the demolition called for under
subparagraph 7(e) above.
16
(g) The Lease shall terminate on the earlier of:
(i) forty five (45) days following receipt of written notice by
Purchaser from Seller that the demolition of the public works
facilities on the Phase I Property and the clearing of the Phase
I Property enabling Purchaser to utilize the same upon closing
and all environmentally required corrective work have been
completed and paid for by Seller but, unless Purchaser elects
otherwise, in no event less than two hundred seventy (270) days
after. Seller provides to Purchaser the notice of termination
described in the next succeeding paragraph; or (ii) three (3)
years from the date of commencement of the Lease. Seller and
Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the timely issuance of a
building permit for the construction of the Gas Station Building
(the "Gas Station Building Permit") is of paramount importance to
Purchaser in connection with its development of the Property.
Therefore, to assure the availability to Purchaser of this
permit, Seller shall provide to Purchaser at least two hundred
seventy (270) days prior written notice of the date upon which it
reasonably anticipates the Lease will terminate in accordance
with this subparagraph (g) and Purchaser, within ninety (90) days
after its receipt of said notice, shall furnish to Seller plans
and specifications for processing in the form required by the
Seller in order to obtain the Gas Station Building Permit. It
r
shall be a condition precedent to Seller's right to terminate the
Lease under item (i) above that Seller shall have either (i)
issued to Purchaser the Gas Station Building Permit, or (ii)
failed to issue the Gas Station Building Permit to Purchaser
solely because Purchaser's submission (including the plans and
specifications) shall have failed to meet all applicable require-
ments of the City of Tamarac and applicable governmental
requirements and Seller shall have notified Purchaser of the
specific requirements which Purchaser's submission has failed to
meet. Purchaser, at its own cost, will comply with any Broward
County Environmental Quality Control Board and/or City of Tamarac
- 17 -
building code requirements for the issuance of the Gas Station
Building Permit.
(h) The Lease shall provide that if during the term
thereof Seller shall effectuate (or the City Council of Tamarac
shall take affirmative action to seek to effectuate) either (i)
an adverse change in zoning to the Phase I Property or (ii) the
imposition of any additional governmental restrictions or
requirements which would prohibit or materially adversely affect
Purchaser's intended development of the Property pursuant to the
Concept Site Plan so that such development would become
economically unfeasible then, within one hundred twenty (120)
days after written demand therefrom from Purchaser, Seller shall
repurchase the Phase I Property from Purchaser at a price equal
to (i) the then fair market value of Property based on a B-2
commercial zoning classification and the availability of the Gas
Station Building Permit (which shall be determined in accordance
with a procedure to be more particularly provided for in the
Lease), plus (ii) "Purchaser's Costs". As used herein,
"Purchaser's Costs" means (a) all costs and expenses incurred by
Purchaser in connection with its acquisition and ownership of the
Phase I Property until the closing of the repurchase but
excluding the actual net purchase price of the Phase I Property
(including, without limitation, all financing costs (including,
without limitation, letter of credit issuance fees), all
marketing and advertising costs, and all professional fees), less
(i) all payments made by Seller either under the Lease or under
this Agreement as reimbursement to Purchaser for such costs and
expenses. Since in the event of the repurchase, Purchaser will
not close on the Phase II Property, any costs and expenses
incurred by Purchaser which relate to the Property shall be
. attributable to the Phase I Property. All costs and expenses
shall be subject to verification by the Seller's auditors acting
reasonably.
- 18 -
(i) The Lease shall provide that if there is damage
or destruction to the improvements located on the Phase I
Property which results in the availability of insurance proceeds,
Seller shall be entitled to retain same provided that such damage
Is or destruction shall not terminate the Lease until Seller has
made at least six (6) months rental payments under the Lease or
such lesser amount of payments which may be due during the
original scheduled term of the Lease, all of which are attr-
ibutable to the period after such damage or destruction occurred.
Seller and Purchaser each acknowledge that it is obligated
to use its best faith efforts to negotiate the Lease during the
above -described thirty (30) day period.
12. Closing Dates. The closing of this transaction with
respect to the Phase I Property (the "Phase I Closing") shall
occur on the later of: (i) one hundred twenty (120) days from
the date hereof; or (ii) thirty (30) days following compliance by
the Seller with all of the conditions precedent set forth in
• paragraph 8 hereof but in any event no later than one hundred
eighty (180) days from the date hereof (the "Outside Closing
Date"). The closing of this transaction with respect to the
Phase II Property (the "Phase II Closing") shall occur within
five (5) business days after the date the Lease terminates,
provided (i) Purchaser may elect to have such closing occur prior
thereto upon written notice of such election to Seller (which
notice shall specify the closing date selected by Purchaser), and
( ii ) Purchaser may elect to close on the Phase II Property in a
series of "takedowns" of individual lots (as shown on the
existing plat) on or before the scheduled date for the Phase II
Closing; provided, however, that such takedowns shall be made in
sequence starting with the lot contiguous to the Phase I Property
and continuing therefrom. In such event, the Purchase Price for
each lot shall be $212,500.00 (subject to adjustment as provided
in paragraph 2) and each such closing shall be deemed a Phase II
Closing. If as of the Outside Closing Date (or the scheduled
date of any Phase II Closing) any condition precedent to
- 19 -
/�_d� -,,4`76)
Purchaser's obligations has not been complied with, Purchaser may
elect to either: (1) waive said condition precedent and close the
transaction in accordance with the terms hereof, (2) rescind the
transaction, in which case the Phase I Deposit or the Phase II
Deposit (or remainder thereof), together with interest, as the
case may be, shall be returned to the Purchaser as provided in
paragraphs 3 and 4 hereof, respectively, and the parties shall be
relieved from all further obligations hereunder, or (3) extend
the particular closing date for up to an additional one hundred
twenty (120) days during which time the Seller shall have the
opportunity to comply with all of the conditions precedent to
Purchaser's obligations hereunder. If option (3) above is
elected by Purchaser and any condition precedent to Purchaser's
obligations have still not been complied with by the extended
closing date, on the extended closing date Purchaser may elect
option (1) or (2) above.
13. Closing Costs. Documentary Stamp Tax on any warranty
is deed or other instrument of conveyance shall be paid by the
Seller. The cost of recording such deed of conveyance shall be
paid by the Purchaser. Taxes, if any, insurance and all other
proratable items shall be prorated as of the date of closing. As
to the Phase I Property there will be no prorations as of the
date of closing, all expenses pertaining to the Phase I Property
continuing to be the responsibility of the Seller. At the Phase
II Closing (or the first Phase II Closing if Purchaser elects to
purchase Phase II in a series of takedowns), Purchaser shall
receive a credit against the Purchase Price not to exceed
$25,000.00 to reimburse Purchaser for loan costs, such as
commitment fees, recording charges, appraisal charges, lender's
attorneys fees and title insurance premiums, incurred by it in
connection with its financing for the purchase of the Phase I
Property.
14. Closing Documents. At each closing, Seller shall
deliver or caused to be delivered to Purchaser, in form and

ment and water bills, and most recent utility bills pertaining to

15. Assessments. All certified liens or pending liens for
governmental improvements which have been substantially completed
as of the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller. All other
pending liens for governmental improvements shall, be assumed by
Purchaser. Seller represents that it has no knowledge of any
such pending liens.
16. Attorneys' Fees and Costs. In the event of the neces-
sity by either party to enforce its rights hereunder, all costs
and reasonable attorney's fees of the prevailing party, including
attorney's fees incurred through all appellate levels, shall be

. or Seller's representation under subparagraph 9(e), then Seller
shall use its best efforts to cure said defects forthwith in
accordance with paragraph 5 hereof, and all of the cash proceeds
shall be held in such account pending such curative action. If
Seller is unable to cure such title defect(s) within sixty (60)
days from the date of closing, Purchaser may elect to rescind the
transaction or to close the transaction with title in its then
existing condition. In the event the transaction is rescinded,
