Period"), to physically examine the Property and conduct reasonable
investigations with respect to the documentation set forth in Exhibit B attached
hereto and made a part hereof (the "Property Documentation"). The Property
Documentation will be made available for inspection and copying on the
"Effective Date" as defined herein, at the offices of The Xxxxxxx Mobile Home

and Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to effectuate the issuance of these
reports (at no cost to Seller). Purchaser shall indemnify Seller from all loss,
cost or expense for any property damage, personal injury or death arising out of
or by reason of Purchaser's examination and investigation hereunder. If
Purchaser has not delivered, by facsimile or hand delivery, written notice to
Seller cancelling this transaction prior to 5:00 p.m. on the expiration date of
the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the inspection
and to have waived all contingencies except those set forth in paragraph 7 and
shall proceed to Closing without further right to any cancellation or claim
against the Xxxxxxx Money; provided, however, this waiver shall be subject to
the title evidence contingency including the survey contingency, the conditions
of Closing set forth in paragraph 7 and the other provisions of this Agreement.
If Purchaser does cancel this transaction prior to 5:00 p.m. on the expiration
date of `the Inspection period, in its sole and arbitrary discretion, this
Agreement shall be null and void, and all Xxxxxxx Money, and accrued interest
thereon, shall be promptly returned.
That during the times between 9:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on weekdays
only, from and after the Effective Date, herein defined, Seller shall afford

limited to, the right to conduct Phase 1 environmental, soil, engineering and

7
Xxxxxxx Mobile Home Park
________________
Property; provided, however, if Purchaser or its representatives enter upon the
Property pursuant to the terms hereof, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold
Seller harmless from all damage caused to any person or the Property as a result
of such entry and the negligent acts or omissions of Purchaser or its
representatives. Purchaser may not open up utility systems or conduct soil
borings without Seller's prior written approval. Seller's representative must
accompany Purchaser's inspectors during any inspections or testing. Seller
shall have the right to approve each consultant or inspector hired by Purchaser
for inspection of the Property.
Seller shall disclose to Purchaser's representatives, including
financial and legal advisors, provided the designated representatives are not
residents of The Xxxxxxx Mobile Home Park, and Purchaser's accountant (who shall

personal or business relationship or association with any resident of The
Xxxxxxx Mobile Home Park) a current rent roll and a summary of expenses by major
categories of payroll, taxes, utilities, insurance, and maintenance for the
Property for 1995 and 1996. Purchaser shall have the further right, at
Purchaser's expense, to have an audit or further review by Purchaser's
accountant of the expenses of the Property for 1995, 1996 and 1997 to date. Such
financial disclosure shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed except to
Purchaser's lenders and financial and legal advisors. Purchaser's
representatives and Purchaser's accountant shall sign a confidentiality
agreement with Seller prior to receipt of any financial disclosure. Further,
Seller, if necessary, will furnish Purchaser's potential lenders with the same
information for the purpose of considering a loan to Purchaser, but the
potential lenders shall give Seller a confidentiality agreement prior to receipt
of any financial disclosure.
All information provided by Seller to Purchaser's representatives or
accountants shall remain strictly confidential and shall not be used for any
purpose other than to analyze Purchaser's prospective purchase of the Real
Property. Should Purchaser for any reason whatsoever elect not to proceed with
the closing of the sale and purchase of the Property, Purchaser shall give
written notice to Seller of such fact within the aforesaid period, whereupon
this Agreement shall terminate and the parties hereto shall have no further
obligations under this Agreement, and Purchaser shall return to Seller all
documents in its possession provided to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement,
and Seller shall return all of Purchaser's Xxxxxxx Money Deposit to Purchaser.

8
Xxxxxxx Mobile Home Park
________________
paid for by Purchaser, shall be issued at the minimum promulgated rate, and
shall be in an amount equal to the Purchase Price. Purchaser shall receive a
credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in an amount equal to the cost of
the title search and the owner's policy, mortgagee policy, if required by
Purchaser, and such endorsements as Purchaser may reasonably require.
Purchaser shall have two (2) business days after receipt of Seller's
prior survey, the title commitment, and copies of all exception documents to
give written notice to Seller of any objections by Purchaser to the state of
title (including any matters shown on Seller's prior survey which are reasonably
unacceptable to Purchaser). Failure of Purchaser to deliver a written notice of
disapproval of the status of title to Seller within said 10-day period shall be
conclusive evidence that Purchaser has approved each and every matter contained
in the title commitment and shown on the Seller's prior survey, and that
Purchaser will accept title in that condition.
C. Permitted Exceptions. Seller shall convey and transfer to
--------------------
Purchaser at Closing, good and marketable fee simple title to the Property, free
and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except those that can be and are
discharged by the Seller at or before Closing, and the following, hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Permitted Encumbrances:"
(1) Real Property Taxes for the year in which the sale and
purchase is closed, which shall be prorated as provided for elsewhere herein;
(2) Applicable Zoning and other regulatory laws and ordinances;
(3) Rights of tenants under disclosed unrecorded rental
agreements;
(4) Easements for provision of existing utilities services and
all other easements which benefit the Property and that are approved by

this Paragraph 4.
D. Title Defects. After due notice of any title defect, Seller shall
-------------
have the obligation to cure any defects that can, with reasonable diligence, be
cured on or before the Closing Date. As to any other defects, Seller shall have
the option to cure such defects within thirty (30) days after written notice.
Purchaser's consent shall be deemed to have been granted if Purchaser fails to
respond within ten (10) days after written notice from Seller of Seller's intent
to cure such "other" defects (and, if necessary, the closing shall be delayed
for that period). Should Seller either elect not to cure, or if Purchaser does
not give its consent to a cure by Seller, Purchaser shall have the option to:
(1) Terminate this Agreement, in which case Purchaser shall
notify Seller that Purchaser will not proceed with the purchase, whereupon this
Agreement shall
9
Xxxxxxx Mobile Home Park
________________
terminate, Purchaser's Xxxxxxx Money shall be promptly refunded, and all parties
shall be released from any further obligations hereunder, or
(2) Proceed under this Agreement and accept title to the Real
Property subject to such defects, in which case the Closing shall take place on
the later of the date set for Closing as herein provided or on a date mutually
agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser and without reduction in the Purchase Price.
5. Survey. Purchaser may, at its expense, within twenty (20) days of the
------
Effective Date, update any prior survey or obtain a new survey of the Real
Property in a form acceptable to the title insurer. The legal description of
the Real Property is described in Exhibit "A." Seller shall furnish Purchaser
------------
with surveys in its possession, if any. If the survey discloses lack of access,
a violation of deed restrictions, zoning regulations or covenants of this
Agreement, easements which are not approved by Purchaser, that any improvements
are not entirely on the Property, or other reasonable survey objections, the
same shall be treated as a title defect and treated as provided in Paragraph
4.D. Purchaser shall have two (2) business days from receipt of said survey to
deliver a written notice of disapproval of the status of title based upon
Purchaser's survey. Failure of Purchaser to deliver a written notice of
disapproval based upon Purchaser's survey within said fifteen business day
period shall be conclusive evidence that Purchaser has approved each and every
matter contained in Purchaser's survey and that Purchaser will accept title in
that condition.
6. Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be Xxxxx Xxxx, Esq., Xxxxxxxx,
------------
Labasky, et al., P.A. All sums deposited with the Escrow Agent will be held in
an interest bearing trust account as the Good Faith Deposit for the transaction
described herein. The sole liability of the Escrow Agent shall be to deposit
the funds in an interest bearing account and to disburse said funds according to
the terms of this Agreement. No fees shall be charged by Escrow Agent for
setting up the escrow and administering it. However, notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event of a breach of this Agreement by either the Seller or
the Purchaser, and in the event of a dispute as to the disposition of said
escrowed funds, the parties hereto agree to allow the Escrow Agent to deposit
the funds into the court registry and such deposit shall terminate Escrow
Agent's responsibility for the escrowed funds. The parties shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Escrow Agent from all liability hereunder, save for gross
negligence or intentional acts, and shall reimburse the Escrow Agent for all
court costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by it, including attorneys'
fees on appeal in the event it is joined in any legal proceedings regarding this
Agreement.

---------------------------------------------

not satisfied or waived by Purchaser on or before the Closing Date, shall permit
Purchaser, to declare this Contract null and void and of no further force and
effect by written notice to Seller; whereupon the Xxxxxxx Money shall be

exceed $250,000.00.
B. If Purchaser breaches, defaults or fails to perform its

failed to perform any material obligations under this Agreement, then, as
Seller's sole and absolute remedy, to the exclusion of all other remedies
including, without limitation, specific performance, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be
paid to Seller, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money shall constitute the entire
liquidated damages of Seller and Purchaser shall thereupon be relieved of all
further obligations and liabilities arising out of this Agreement, it being
agreed that the actual damages of Seller are difficult or impossible to
ascertain and that said Xxxxxxx Money represents the parties' best estimate of
actual damages of Seller.
