Covenants currently in effect. Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a draft of new
Covenants Seller expects to adopt. The Covenants, as ultimately adopted and
amended, shall be binding on the Property and shall run with the land, except as
provided in this Agreement.
14.1 Seller agrees to consent to the use of the fourth (4th) floor of
a building to be built on the Property as a residence, subject to certain
terms and conditions. In the event the parties are unable to agree upon the
terms and conditions for the consent, either party may, prior to closing,
terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other. A proposed form of
the consent from the Seller to the Purchaser is attached as Exhibit "B" to
this Agreement. Unless Exhibit "B" is objected to by Purchaser within ten
(10) days from the date of this Agreement, the form consent of Exhibit "B"
shall be deemed acceptable to Purchaser and shall be the consent issued by
the Seller.
14.2 To the extent required by the Covenants, the Seller hereby
consents to the use of the Property for an office building projected to be
four (4) stores in height. The improvements to the Property including
building, landscaping, paving and the like, shall be consistent with the
Covenants, subject to any variance or changes agreed to in writing by the
Seller prior to closing or thereafter.
14.3 As a condition of the closing, the parties shall have reached
agreement on the method for resolving disputes regarding issues arising
under the Covenants, including the giving or withholding of consent by
Seller to a requested plan for use or condition of the Property, a request
for a variance from the Covenants for the Property, or other accommodation
or change relative to the Covenants requested by Purchaser. The parties
anticipate the resolution shall be a method of binding arbitration.
15. Sewage Capacity. Seller shall transfer or make available to the
Property normal sewage capacity of 1,400 gallons per day. It is anticipated
1,400 gallons of sewage capacity may exceed the amount necessary to service the
Property after the building is constructed and improvements are in place. After
the building constructed on the premises
-4-
has been fully occupied for one (1) year, but not later than three (3) years
after the date of closing, the parties shall determine the daily average
historical use of sewage capacity and shall consider the reasonably projected
future use of sewage capacity at the Property. If the Seller concludes that the
historical and reasonably projected future use of the Property is such that
1,400 gallons of capacity appears in excess of the reasonable needs of the
Property, the parties shall adjust the capacity so that it is reduced from 1,400
gallons per day to a number reasonably calculated to service the Property. In
the event the parties cannot agree on the number of gallons of sewage capacity
reasonably necessary to service the Property, the matter shall be resolved by
arbitration in the manner established between the parties for the resolution of
a dispute regarding, or the interpretation of, the Covenants. At Seller's
election, a memorandum of agreement reflecting the provisions of this paragraph
may be placed of record.
16. Construction of Building and Repurchase Option. Purchaser agrees to
proceed diligently toward the construction of a proposed building on the
Property, consistent with the Covenants. In the event the construction of a
building on the Property is not at least 50% complete within two years from the
date of closing, Seller shall have the option of repurchasing the Property
together with any improvements which have been made to the Property consistent
with the Covenants. This option shall be contained in the deed from Seller to
Purchaser. The purchase price shall be the fair market value of any improvements
to the Property which have been made consistent with the Covenants plus an
amount equal to the lesser of: (1) $275,226 increased by 7% per annum, or (2)
the fair market value of the Property. Any improvements which are not consistent
with the Covenants shall, at Seller's election, either be removed by Purchaser
at Purchaser's expense, or transferred to Seller as part of the Property at no
additional cost. Seller shall exercise the option to purchase by giving written
notice of such exercise to Purchaser, or Purchaser's successor in interest to
the Property, within thirty (30) days after the second anniversary date of the
date of closing, or the option shall be deemed waived and shall terminate. The
sale shall be closed within thirty (30) days after the option is exercised. The
Property shall be free from liens, defects or matters apparent or of record,
except those existing at the date of closing of the sale to Purchaser. The
purchase price shall be paid in full at closing. Matters of records which are
not accepted may be removed by use of the sale proceeds at the closing of the
repurchase by Seller.
17. Purchaser Represented by Attorney. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and
understand that Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, P.L.L.C. is acting as the drafter of this
Agreement and the documents implementing this Agreement, and is not providing
independent legal advice to either party. The parties have agreed to share

specified time shall expire at 9:00 p.m. of the next business day. Any specified
period of five (5) days or less shall include business days only.

Agreement, including attorneys' fees, expenses, or claims of any kind or nature
whatsoever arising from or related to Seller's ownership of the Property prior

Parties hereto, and except for any Agreements or warranties otherwise stated in
writing to survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, supersedes all

24. Savings Clause. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as to
require any act contrary to law, and wherever there is any conflict between the
provisions of this Agreement and any statute, law, public regulation or
ordinance, the latter shall prevail, but in such event, the provisions of this
Agreement affected shall be curtailed and limited only to the extent necessary
to bring it within legal requirements.
25. Survival. All representations and warranties made under this Agreement,
and all duties and obligations of the Parties hereunder, to be performed after
