Each party represents and warrants to the other that it has not dealt with any real estate broker, agent or finder in connection with this transaction, other than the Broker set forth in the Basic Terms, which acted as the agent of the Seller as set forth in the Basic Terms. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, costs, damages, liabilities or expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of a claim to a commission or finder’s fee by any party claiming by or through Buyer. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, costs, damages, liabilities or expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of a claim to a commission or finder’s fee by any party, including, without limitation, Broker(s), claiming by or through Seller.

8.       Condemnation; Destruction. In the event that all or any portion of the Project is damaged or destroyed by any casualty or is the subject of a taking or condemnation under the provisions of eminent domain law after the Effective Date, but prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall have no obligation to repair or replace any damage or destruction caused by the foregoing, but the following shall apply at the Closing: (a) in the event of a casualty, Seller shall assign to Buyer its rights to any and all insurance proceeds resulting from such casualty and Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing for any deductible and uninsured portion (including, without limitation, the amount by which the estimated costs of repair, as reasonably determined by a licensed general contractor selected by Buyer, exceed the insurance proceeds available to Buyer), and (b) in the event of a taking, Seller shall assign to Buyer its rights to any condemnation proceeds resulting from such taking. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such casualty or taking is a Material Event (as defined below), then Buyer, at its option, may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given on or before the Closing Date, and upon such termination, the Escrow Deposit (minus one-half (1/2) of any Escrow Holder or Title Company cancellation fees), shall be returned to Buyer and the parties shall have no further liability or obligation hereunder. As used in this provision, a “Material Event” means either of the following: (i) a casualty resulting in damage or destruction to the Project if the cost to restore the Project to its condition immediately prior to such casualty is estimated to exceed $250,000.00 (as reasonably determined by a licensed general contractor selected by Buyer), or (ii) a taking or condemnation which would impede access to the Project, reduce available parking below that required by laws or any applicable agreements affecting the Project, or result in a condemnation award estimated to exceed $250,000.00 (as reasonably determined by Buyer). Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in Buyer’s post-closing pursuit of insurance and condemnation proceeds, which obligation shall survive the Closing.

9.       Specific Performance. Seller specifically acknowledges that the Property is unique. Seller agrees that, in the event that Seller breaches this Agreement and Buyer seeks specific performance as a remedy and/or records a lis pendens in connection therewith, Seller will not challenge such specific performance or seek to expunge a lis pendens based upon the adequacy of other remedies available to Buyer. The foregoing shall not limit any other remedies available to Buyer at law or in equity. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller agrees that it will maintain access to cash sufficient for Seller to satisfy all of its obligations arising under this Agreement.

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS OR CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE APPROPRIATE COURT HAVING COMPETENT JURISDICTION LOCATED IN MCDOWELL COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, PROVIDED THAT THE SUBSTANTIALLY PREVAILING PARTY IN SUCH LITIGATION SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER, IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER RELIEF, THE COSTS OF SUCH LITIGATION AND THEIR REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPERT FEES AS AWARDED BY THE COURT IN THE PROCEEDINGS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 12.E BELOW.) THE PARTIES HEREBY ARE WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY POSSESS TO HAVE THE DISPUTE LITIGATED BY JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY’S AGREEMENT TO THIS SECTION IS VOLUNTARY. THIS PROVISION SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CLOSING.

 

11.       Exchange. Either party may decide to have this transaction qualify as part of a tax deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, in which case the other party agrees to cooperate with such exchange; provided, however, the exchanging party(ies) shall indemnify and hold the non-exchanging parties harmless from any additional third party cost or expense incurred in connection with such exchange, and no party will be required to any way act as a purchaser or seller of any property other than the Property. This indemnity, defense and hold-harmless obligation shall survive the Closing. The inability of any party to effect an exchange shall not relieve that party of its obligation to conclude the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to the preceding, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their respective heirs, successors and assigns.

No such waiver shall reduce the rights or remedies of a party by reason of any breach by the other party hereunder.

Unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the representations, warranties, obligations and covenants of the parties set forth in this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the delivery and recordation of the Deed. All warranties and representations shall be effective regardless of any investigation made or which could have been made.

 

L.       Cumulative Remedies. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no remedy conferred upon a party in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute (except as otherwise expressly herein provided).

 

M.       Hazardous Materials. As used herein “Hazardous Materials” means any hazardous, toxic or dangerous waste, substance or material, pollutant or contaminant, as defined for purposes of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C.

N.       Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (by original, facsimile or electronic signatures), each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. The parties intend to treat any facsimile or electronic PDF signature as if it were an original.

If Seller defaults in its obligation to sell and convey the Property to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to elect one of the following: (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer shall be entitled to the return by Escrow Holder to Buyer of the Escrow Deposit, or (b) to bring a suit for specific performance and recovery of Buyer’s reasonable attorneys’ fees. Any suit for specific performance must be brought within 60 days of Seller’s default, to the extent permitted by law, Buyer waiving the right to bring suit at any later date.
