forth, which development shall be known as the Catalina Marketing Building or

WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer have agreed that upon Developer's completion
of the Improvements, Seller and Developer shall sell to Buyer, and Buyer shall
purchase from Seller and Developer, the Land and Improvements (together, the

contemplation of the transaction governed hereby (the "TRANSACTION"), Buyer has
also requested Developer to enter into an agreement substantially identical to
the terms and conditions of the Lease Development Agreement ("SALE DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT") to govern the rights, liabilities and obligations of Buyer and
Developer with respect to the design and construction of the Improvements, which

terminated, and Developer has agreed to enter into the Sale Development
Agreement subject to such terms and understandings; and
WHEREAS, Seller and Echelon International are affiliated entities, and
as an inducement to Buyer to purchase the Property, Seller has caused Echelon
International to enter into the Sale Development Agreement with Buyer for the
development of the Project, and the parties understand, conform, and agree that

adjustments to the Purchase Price paid to Seller hereunder; and
WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller each acknowledge and agree that the terms and
conditions of the Lease shall continue to run and be binding upon Buyer and
Seller, even in the event of the termination of this Agreement for any reason
whatsoever, until such time that the Transaction contemplated by this Agreement
closes, whereupon Buyer, Developer and Seller shall cause the Lease (and the
Lease Development Agreement) to be terminated;
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the promises, covenants,
representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, the sum of One Hundred
Dollars ($100.00) and other good and valuable consideration in hand paid by

the Property to Buyer on the terms, conditions and provisions set forth in this
Agreement. Upon completion of the development of the Property, as described
below, Buyer agrees to purchase, accept and assume the Property on the terms,

obligations of Buyer and Developer under the Lease Development Agreement to the
Transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer and Developer have entered
into the development agreement attached hereto as EXHIBIT C (the "SALE
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT"). The terms and conditions, rights and liabilities
arising under the Sale Development Agreement shall control over and supersede
the Lease Development Agreement until such time that this Agreement is
terminated. Developer's use of separate entities to perform design and
construction work in no way relieves Seller of its design/build delivery
obligations.
A. DEVELOPER ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Developer
acknowledges its obligation to provide a complete and fully constructed
Project on a turnkey delivery basis and that it is required to provide
all items (labor, material, equipment) necessary to complete the
Project. Omissions from the documents provided by Buyer to Developer or
inadequate descriptions of details of the Project in such documents
which are manifestly necessary or which are customarily performed,
shall not release the Developer from performing such necessary or
customary details of the Project. Developer acknowledges that the
Project is a turnkey project and represents that it has experience with
such project deliveries. Developer represents that it fully understands
the general scope of work required to be performed.
Developer further acknowledges its obligation to coordinate the design
and construction work of each member of the Design and Construction
Team so that all design details, plans, drawings and specifications
adequately describe and depict the construction work. Buyer shall not
be responsible for any changes, increased costs, claims or delays,
except as expressly provided in the Sale Development Agreement. Buyer
reserves the right to employ an architect and consultant of its own
choosing to review all aspects of the Work under the Sale Development
Agreement, including, but not limited to, the determination of
Punchlist work.
10
11
4.2 PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR PROJECT.
A. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. Developer shall be
responsible for ensuring that the Base Building Conceptual Design and
the Final Base Building Design (the "BASE BUILDING DESIGN DOCUMENTS")
comply in all material respects with all applicable federal, state, and
local laws, codes, ordinances, regulations and orders in effect at the
date of the issuance of the permit for the construction of the
Improvements, including, but not limited to, The Americans With
Disabilities Act ("LEGAL REQUIREMENTS"), and with any Legal
Requirements adopted subsequent to such date to the extent necessary to
obtain final certificates of occupancy for the Improvements.
B. CERTIFICATIONS. Within five (5) days after
receipt of the Final Base Building Design, Buyer may request
certifications in the form of EXHIBIT D attached hereto from any or all
members of the Design and Construction Team (or, where applicable,
Developer's civil engineer). Developer shall use good faith, diligent
efforts to cause the execution and delivery to Buyer of Certifications
within twenty (20) days of Buyer's request.
4.3 CLAIMS
A. FORCE MAJEURE. The provisions of the Sale
Development Agreement shall govern with respect to any and all claims
by Developer (or any member of the Design and Construction Team) of
Force Majeure delay, Buyer Delay, Buyer - Directed Change Orders, and
any other demand or assertion by such parties seeking an adjustment to
the Substantial Completion Date, the Outside Delay Date, or the
Purchase Price (a "CLAIM").
B. DUTY TO PROCEED/RESOLUTION. Pending final
resolution of a Claim, unless otherwise agreed to in writing, Developer
shall proceed diligently with the design and construction of the
Project.
4.4 MISCELLANEOUS DESIGN/CONSTRUCTION ISSUES. Buyer, in
its sole discretion, shall have the right to require changes to the Tenant
Improvement design documents. Subject to Developer's approval, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Buyer shall have the right to
direct changes to the final Base Building design documents, and to any aspect of
the Project design and construction so long as such changes do not result in a
cardinal change. Such changes shall only be valid if issued by Buyer in writing
as a Buyer-directed change order (a "BUYER-DIRECTED CHANGE ORDER"). At Closing,
Buyer will pay Developer any direct cost increases reasonably incurred as a
result of a Buyer-Directed
11
12
Change Order. In the event this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing, Buyer
shall cause the Tenant under the Lease to pay such amount together with the rent
payment next due and owing. To the extent such Buyer-Directed Change Order
results in delay to critical path of the Detailed Critical Path Method Schedule,
it shall constitute a "Buyer Delay" under the Sale Development Agreement.
Seller and Developer shall convey to Buyer all of their respective right, title
and interest in and to the Final Base Building Design, including all copyrights
thereto. Developer is entitled only to provide copies thereof to the Base
Building Contractor (and such other Design and Construction Team members as
necessary to cause the completion of the Improvements in accordance with this
Agreement) as defined below for the sole purpose of constructing the Base
Building.
After the Final Base Building Design has been approved by Buyer, Developer may
not make any changes to it without Buyer's written approval, which approval may
be given or withheld in Buyer's sole discretion (except that Developer shall be
permitted to make changes not deemed to be material changes resulting from a
governmental official's code interpretation without the Buyer's written
approval).
In performing the Base Building construction work, Developer shall assume an
agency role, on behalf of Buyer, and act in the best interests of Buyer in
performing all Base Building-related work.
5. PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT. The Purchase Price, subject to the
prorations and credits set forth herein, shall be due and payable as follows:
5.1 PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price of the Property is
as set forth herein, subject to adjustment for unused or unauthorized
allowances. No costs, other than those set forth herein, shall be due and owing
to Seller. Any Tenant Improvements Allowance not used or authorized by Buyer
shall be deducted from the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be deemed to
include the Land and Base Building, the cost of the Tenant Improvements,
Buyer-Directed Change Orders, all costs of managing the Tenant Improvements, all
costs of financing inclusive of lender's fees, appraisal, interest rate
fluctuations, lender engineering review, and all other related costs.
A. LAND AND BASE BUILDING. Buyer shall pay
Seller a lump sum, fixed price of Twenty Four Million Five Hundred
Thousand Five Hundred Eighty Three and No/100 Dollars ($24,500,583.00)
for the Land, and the design, construction and completion of the Base
Building and all Base Building Systems. Except to the extent expressly
provided elsewhere, this price includes all costs associated therewith
including, but not limited to (1) all Land acquisition costs, (2) all
environmental, soil, geotechnical investigations and reports, (3) all
architect fees and design work, (4) all
12
13
permits, licenses, and insurance (including, without limitation,
Buyer's owner's policy of title insurance, to be issued at closing, in
the amount of the purchase price), (5) general and administrative
overhead, (6) profit, (7) the Base Building construction work and
Building Systems, (8) a reduction of $290,000.00 as consideration for
Buyer's execution of the Property Management Agreement described in
Section 8.6U below, and (9) all other obligations under this Agreement.
B. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. As part of the Purchase
Price, Buyer shall pay Seller for the Tenant Improvement Work as
follows: the cost to design and construct all Tenant Improvement Work
calculated in accordance with Section 9 of the Sale Development
Agreement, management fee equal to 3.5% of the total cost to design and
construct the Tenant Improvements ("MANAGEMENT FEE"); actual
out-of-pocket interest costs paid by Developer in connection with that
portion of the Cost of Construction, if any, incurred after
disbursement of the entire Tenant Improvement Allowance; and the Tenant
Improvement Contractor Xxxx-Up as set forth herein. Provided, however,
that Seller shall provide Buyer with a Tenant Improvements Allowance in
an amount of Three Million Eight Hundred Fifty Seven Thousand One
Hundred Thirty Nine and No/100 Dollars ($3,857,139.00) ("TENANT
IMPROVEMENTS ALLOWANCE"). Developer shall act as Buyer's agent in
managing the Tenant Improvements and processing invoices for the Tenant
Improvement Architect and the Tenant Improvements Contractor, and Buyer
shall compensate Seller with the Management Fee for such services.
C. FINANCING COSTS. Developer shall provide all
project financing through the turnover of the Project up to and
including Closing. Except as provided in Section 5.1B above, Seller and
Developer acknowledge and represent that the lump sum, fixed price
stated above is the sole and exclusive compensation for all financing
costs including, but not limited to, lenders fees, appraisal costs,
interest rate fluctuation, lender engineering review, and all other
costs and risks of increased costs associated with project financing.
D. BUYER-DIRECTED CHANGE ORDERS. As part of the
Purchase Price, Buyer shall pay Seller any direct cost increases
(netted out against any direct cost reductions resulting from
Buyer-Directed Change Orders) reasonably incurred by Developer as a
result of Buyer-Directed Change Orders.
5.2 PAYMENT. At Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller the
Purchase Price, subject to the credits, prorations and adjustments set forth
herein, in cash by federal reserve bank wire transfer to such account and bank
as Seller shall
13
14
designate in writing to Buyer at or prior to Closing to be confirmed received in
Seller's account on or before 12:00 Noon, Tampa, Florida time on the Closing
Date, or, if no such notice is delivered by Seller to Buyer, by Federal Reserve
Funds check drawn for value received on an account in the metropolitan area in
which the Closing is to take place and dated no earlier than the day prior to
the Closing Date. Seller shall deliver to Buyer wire instructions at least 48
hours prior to closing. In addition, the amount of liquidated delay damages owed
to Buyer may be withheld.
At Closing only minor Punchlist items shall remain, none of which shall
materially affect Buyer's ability to use any portion of the Improvements for its
intended uses. Two Hundred Percent (200%) of the value of the uncompleted work
on the Punchlist shall be escrowed at Closing. Developer shall have forty-five
(45) days after issuance of the Punchlist to complete the Punchlist Work (except
those items which reasonably require more than 45 days to complete, shall be
completed in diligent fashion, but no later than 120 days after the date the
Punchlist is issued). At the end of such cure period, Buyer shall pay Seller the
funds retained for the Punchlist Work performed (being the funds equal to 200%
of the value of the previously uncompleted work) and Seller shall forfeit the
remaining withheld funds for Punchlist Work not performed or completed, unless
Developer in good faith disputes Buyer's rejection of Punchlist Work, in which
event such funds shall continue to remain in escrow pending resolution of such
dispute.
The parties expressly agree that if issuance of a final occupancy
permit is delayed, but that all other requirements for Substantial Completion
have been met (including without limitation that Buyer may occupy the Real
Property for the use for which it is intended under a temporary certificate of
occupancy), and Buyer has no reason to believe that the final occupancy permit
will not promptly issue upon completion of the Punchlist items, then the Closing
shall nevertheless proceed; provided that Developer's obligations under this
Agreement and the Sale Development Agreement to complete the Project and deliver
a final, unconditional certificate of occupancy, shall survive closing and be in
full force and effect. The sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($250,000.00) shall be deducted from the Purchase Price to be paid to Seller at
Closing and escrowed at Closing until issuance of the final occupancy
certificate.

Seller, accompanied by a survey showing the location thereof; (b) a deed of
trust or mortgage and security agreement to secure the Construction Loan from
Construction Lender to Developer or Seller (and any amendments, modifications,

Seller causes such encumbrance to be terminated or bonded off prior to Closing;

respect thereto) in all material respects.

remove any of the Property, including Personal Property, from the Real Property

which consist of inventory and maintenance items shall be maintained at the

Property), or any other taking which materially affects the Property in
Buyer's reasonable opinion, or any portion of the Property worth in
excess of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000), then

13. ADVISORS. Each party represents to the other that such party
has not incurred any obligation to any broker or real estate agent with respect
to the purchase or sale of the Property except for the Advisor defined above and
Echelon Real Estate Services, Inc. ("ERES"), which obligation has been incurred
by [SELLER] pursuant to a separate agreement with the Advisor and ERES executed
in connection with the sale/lease of the Property. Seller shall, upon the
Closing of this Transaction and receipt by Seller of the Purchase Price, pay to
Advisor and ERES the appropriate sales commission pursuant to the terms of the
brokerage agreement with Advisor and ERES. Except for Advisor and such
commission payable as set forth above, Seller, Developer, and Buyer each hereby
(a) represent and warrant to the other that it has not employed, retained or
consulted any broker, agent, or finder in carrying on a negotiation in
connection with this Agreement or the Transaction, and (b) indemnify and agree
to hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, causes
of action, debts, liabilities, judgments and damages (including costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred in connection with the enforcement
of this indemnity) which may be asserted or recovered against the indemnified
party on account of any brokerage fee, commission or other compensation arising
by reason of the indemnitor's breach of this representation and warranty.
Advisor is being paid a real estate brokerage commission pursuant to a separate
agreement between Seller and Advisor. This Paragraph shall survive the Closing
or any termination of this Agreement.
14. INDEMNITY. Each of Seller and Developer shall and does
protect, defend, indemnify and save Buyer harmless for, from and against all
Loss imposed upon or asserted against Buyer by reason of: (a) any claim by a
third party against Buyer arising out of any activity, construction,
development, occupancy, use or non-use of the Property arising or occurring
before the Closing (other than any activity, construction, development,
occupancy, and use of the Property by Buyer or buyer's agents, employees or
contractors) or in any way related to or arising out of any act, omission,
contract or commitment of Seller or Developer, or its agents,
33
34
employees or contractors, at any time before or after the Closing; (b) any
accident, injury to or death of person (including workmen) or loss or damage to
property occurring on or about the Property arising or accruing before the
Closing, unless due to the negligence or willful acts of Buyer or Buyer's
agents, employees or contractors; and (c) subject to the limitations on remedies
in favor of Buyer as may be specified in this Agreement, any loss or damage to
Buyer resulting from any material breach or default by Seller or Developer of
any obligation or covenant of Seller under this Agreement or under any document,
instrument or agreement delivered pursuant to this Agreement. In the event Buyer
shall be made a defendant in any action, suit or proceeding brought by reason of
any such occurrence, Seller and Developer, at such parties' own expense, shall
defend or cause to be defended such action, suit, or proceeding or cause the
same to be resisted and defended by counsel designated by such parties or its
insurer and reasonably approved by Buyer. If any such action, suit or
proceedings should result in final judgment against Buyer, Seller, and Developer
shall promptly satisfy and discharge such judgment or cause such judgment to be
promptly satisfied and discharged. The obligations of Seller and Developer under
subsection (a) of this Paragraph shall survive the Closing, and the obligations
of Seller and Developer under subsections (a) and (c) shall survive the Closing
for a period of one (1) year provided any claim under those subsections are
asserted against Seller or Developer within such one (1) year period.
A. ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION. In addition
to other obligations hereunder, each of Seller and Developer agrees to
indemnify Buyer and its lender, consultants, officers, and employees,
successors and assigns from and against all demands, claims, civil or
criminal actions or causes of action, liens, assessments, penalties, or
fines, losses, damages, liabilities, or obligations, costs,
disbursements, expenses or fees of any nature (including without
limitation clean up costs, attorneys fees, paralegal fees, consultant
fees or expert fees and disbursements and costs of litigation at trial
and appellate levels) which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred
by, asserted or awarded against Buyer directly or indirectly related to
or resulting from all conditions (including those caused during
construction) which existed at the Property site prior to the date on
which the Buyer occupies the completed Improvements on the site. This
environmental indemnification shall be in full force and effect until
one (1) year after Substantial Completion of the entire Project. Seller
and Developer shall provide a separately executed document evidencing
its agreement to this environmental indemnification.
B. MECHANIC'S LIENS. Each of Seller and
Developer agrees to indemnify and to hold Buyer harmless from and
against all loss, claims, resulting from, in whole or in part failure
to comply with requirements of Fla. Statute ss.713.23 including but not
limited to Notice of Commencement and
34
35
Bond. After closing, each of Seller and Developer shall and does
protect, defend and indemnify and hold Buyer harmless for, from and
against all loss, claims, liens, causes of actions, proceedings,
liabilities, fees (including attorneys fees), judgment, executions,
claims and demands of whatever nature from the Base Building Contractor
or the Tenant Improvement Contractor or their subcontractors,
sub-subcontractors or anyone claiming through, or as a result of, a
contract or agreement with the Base Building Contractor or the Tenant
Improvement Contractor for the performance of work or furnishing of
services, materials or equipment of any kind for the project.
15. DEFAULT.
15.1 BUYER DEFAULT. In the event that Buyer defaults in
the observance or performance of its covenants and obligations hereunder, and
such default continues for ten (10) consecutive days after the date of receipt
of written notice from Seller demanding cure of such default, or such longer
period as may be reasonably required to effect a cure (but in no event to exceed
a total of ninety (90) days), Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, if
Seller has theretofore complied with Seller's obligations under this Agreement,
to terminate this Agreement and the Sale Development Agreement by written notice
to Buyer of such termination. Seller's agreement to limit its remedy for Buyer's
default to termination of this Agreement is a material inducement to Buyer's
execution of this Agreement. Seller and Developer hereby waive, relinquish and
release any and all other rights and remedies for Buyer's default under this
Agreement, including, but not limited to: (1) any right to xxx Buyer for
damages, or (2) any other right or remedy which Seller or Developer may
otherwise have against Buyer, either at law, or equity or otherwise. [
15.2 SELLER OR DEVELOPER DEFAULT. In the event that Seller
or Developer defaults in the observance or performance of a material covenant or
material obligation hereunder and the liability of such party for failing to
observe such covenant or obligation is not addressed or otherwise governed by
the terms of the Sale Development Agreement or by the terms of Sections 6 and 9
of this Agreement, and furthermore, such default continues for six (6)
consecutive calendar days after the date of receipt of written notice from Buyer
demanding cure of such default, or such longer period as may be reasonably
required to effect a cure (but in no event to exceed a total of ninety (90)
days), Buyer shall be entitled either, at Buyer's option, (i) if Buyer has
theretofore complied with Buyer's obligations under this Agreement, to xxx
Seller or Developer, as appropriate, for specific performance of this Agreement,
or (ii) to terminate this Agreement and the Sale Development Agreement (except
to the extent that any right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly
survives termination of this Agreement) by the delivery to Seller and Developer
of notice of such termination, which termination shall be effective
35
36
the fifth (5th) consecutive calendar day after the date of receipt of such
notice unless such default is earlier cured. In the event that Buyer has elected
to terminate this Agreement and the Sale Development Agreement, Buyer shall be
entitled to pursue a claim against Seller and Developer for Buyer's actual
damages (including without limitation, the increase in aggregate costs incurred
by Buyer under the Lease compared to Buyer's aggregate costs under this
Agreement) incurred as a result of such default, but otherwise excluding
consequential damages, not to exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($150,000.00). The foregoing shall be Buyer's sole remedies in the event
of Seller's or Developer's default under this Agreement, except as may be
provided in Section 16.1 hereof, and Seller and Developer shall not have any
further liability to Buyer for liquidated or actual damages or otherwise. The
parties acknowledge that the Property is unique because of its location and
because the Improvements have been custom designed for Buyer. Seller's and
Developer's failure to perform under this Agreement, including but not limited
to the conveyance of the Property to Buyer, would cause Buyer to suffer
irreparable harm, and such failure could not be remedied by the payment of
monetary damages. The parties accordingly agree that Buyer shall be entitled to
the remedy of specific performance for nonperformance of this Agreement by
Seller or Developer. Seller and Developer waive any right they might otherwise
have to object to the remedy of specific performance, and agree that they will
not assert that specific performance is not an available remedy.
16. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
16.1 TERMINATION If this Agreement is terminated or the
Property is otherwise not conveyed to Buyer under any circumstances, except
where Seller and Developer have complied with all of their obligations under
this Agreement and Buyer has defaulted under this Agreement, Seller shall pay to
Buyer the sum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) on
or before the commencement date of the Lease (or on the due date of the next due
rental payment if the Lease has previously commenced). Seller's agreement to pay
such amount is a material inducement to Buyer's execution of this Agreement.
16.2 EXECUTION NECESSARY. This Agreement shall not be
binding upon Seller and Developer until fully executed and delivered by proper
officials of Seller and Developer, and no action taken by Seller's or
Developer's corporate executives shall be deemed an acceptance of this Agreement
until this Agreement has been so executed by Seller and Developer and delivered
to Buyer.
16.3 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in
separate counterparts. It shall be fully executed when each party whose
signature is required has signed at least one counterpart even though no one
counterpart contains the signatures of all of the parties to this Agreement.
36
37
16.4 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Seller and Developer hereby
agree that Buyer may freely and unilaterally assign in its sole discretion,
without the need for cause to be given and without prior notice to or consent of
the Seller or Developer or any surety required, Buyer's duties, rights and
interests under this Agreement to any Buyer-affiliated entity or to an
owner-trustee pursuant to a synthetic lease financing entered into by Buyer or
its Affiliate for the Property. Neither the Seller's or Developer's obligations
hereunder nor the Seller's or Developer's right to receive payments under this
Agreement nor any other interest, right or duty of such party under this
Agreement may be assigned without the prior written consent of Buyer, which
consent may not be unreasonably withheld for any reason. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in connection with the sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the real property assets of
Developer or any of its subsidiaries (the "RE Assets"), Developer may assign,
with notice to Buyer but without Buyer's consent, its interest and obligations
under this Agreement, the Sale Development Agreement, and the Lease Development
Agreement, and may delegate or cause the assumption of its obligations and
responsibilities thereunder to the entity (the "Assignee") that acquires
(directly or indirectly through wholly-owned entities) the RE Assets, provided
that: (i) Assignee, at the time of such assignment or transfer, on a
consolidated basis with its wholly-owned entities, has (a) a total asset value
of at least $200,000,000.00 and (b) a net worth of at least $50,000,000.00; (ii)
W. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx or Xxxxxx X. XxXxxxx are senior or executive management
personnel of Assignee at the time of such assignment or transfer; and (iii) such
Assignee assumes all of Seller's and Developer's obligations and
responsibilities under this Agreement, the Sale Development Agreement, and the
Lease Development Agreement. Upon such assignment or transfer, Seller and
Developer will be released from their respective liabilities under this
Agreement and the Sale Development Agreement. Developer may also delegate its
obligations under the Sale Development Agreement and the Lease Development
Agreement to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Developer or Assignee, but shall not
be released from liability thereunder due solely to such delegation. Seller may
assign its interest under this Agreement to Assignee or any wholly-owned
subsidiary of Assignee. Transfer of any membership interest in Seller shall not
violate this Section. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Seller expressly acknowledges that, at Closing, Buyer may direct Seller to
transfer the Property to a synthetic lease owner-trustee, in which event Seller
acknowledges that the owner-trustee shall have no liability under this
Agreement.
16.5 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the Sale
Development Agreement and all the exhibits referenced herein and annexed hereto
and thereto contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to
the matters contained therein, and no prior agreement or understanding
pertaining to any of the matters connected with this Transaction shall be

day which is a Saturday, Sunday, federal or state holiday, or other non-business
day, such date shall automatically be extended to, and the expiration of such
time period shall automatically to be extended to, the next day which is not a

shall be the specified day or date, and shall include the period of time through
and including such specified day or date.
16.7 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by
the laws of the state in which the Land is located.
16.8 SURVIVAL. All covenants, agreements, indemnities,
representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing Date
for one (1) year and no longer (provided claims are asserted against Seller or
Developer within such one (1) year period), except for those covenants and
agreements which are actually performed at Closing and except as may be
otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.
16.9 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party agrees to execute and
deliver to the other such further documents or instruments as may be reasonable
and necessary in furtherance of the performance of the terms, covenants and

the provisions of this Agreement shall be declared invalid by laws applicable
thereto, then the performance of said offending provision shall be excused by
the parties hereto; provided, however, that, if the performance of such excused
provision materially affects any material aspect of this Transaction and if

hereto for whose benefit such excused provision was inserted in this Agreement
