Seller and Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the land, buildings, and personal property, as Purchaser shall reasonably designate prior to the Closing. 4. METHOD OF PAYMENT The entire Purchase Price shall be paid in cash or by Federal Reserve check or wire transfer, at Seller's option, at Closing (as hereinafter defined). The Earnest Money shall be credited to the Purchase Price at Closing and all interest earned thereon shall be paid to Purchaser by Escrow Agent at or immediately after Closing. 5. COSTS AND PRORATIONS AT CLOSING a. Closing Costs. Seller shall pay the Georgia Transfer Tax applicable to the transaction contemplated hereby. Purchaser shall pay the cost of recording all documents to be recorded (except title clearance documents, if any). Purchaser shall also pay for any title examination fees, any premium of title insurance, engineering fees, or survey fees, to the extent ordered by Purchaser or its agents or representatives. Each party shall pay its own attorneys' fees. Seller and Purchaser shall each pay one-half of any escrow fee of Escrow Agent. b. Taxes. Real and personal property ad valorem taxes assessed against the Property for the year in which Closing occurs shall be prorated as of 12:01 a.m. on the day of Closing. The Property is currently carried as a separate tax parcel in the public tax records. The real property ad valorem tax statement for the Property shall be prorated only on the basis of time. All of the personal property ad valorem taxes for 1993 shall be paid at Closing, provided that in the event they are for any reason not payable at Closing, Seller shall deposit with the Escrow Agent its prorata share of such taxes, and any interest on the amount so deposited by Seller with Escrow Agent shall accrue to Seller. Escrow Agent shall cause to be paid the ad valorem taxes due and payable for the year of Closing when the same become due and shall promptly provide Seller and Purchaser evidence of payment. The obligations of Seller and Purchaser set forth in this subparagraph b. shall survive Closing. c. Utilities. Seller shall notify all utility companies servicing the Property of the change in ownership and direct that all future billings be made to Purchaser at the address of the Property, or such other address as Purchaser may direct, with no interruption of service. Seller shall obtain final meter readings for all utilities as of the Closing Date and have final bills rendered directly to Seller. In the event that final meter readings cannot be obtained due to the utility companies' internal operating procedures, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for any payments to any such utilities applicable to the period prior to the Closing Date immediately upon receipt of evidence of such payments from Purchaser. d. Tax Appeals. It is the understanding of the parties that the 1991 and 1992 property tax assessments for Fulton County have not as yet been formally accepted by the State of Georgia and remain subject to revision and that Seller has appealed its assessment for such years. Seller shall remain fully responsible for payment of any additional amounts which may become due for such years and shall promptly pay same and furnish Purchaser with evidence of such payment. Any refund of amounts already paid by Seller as to such years as a result of Seller's appeals or otherwise shall be the sole property of Seller. e. Rents. Seller and Purchaser agree to prorate rents and operating expenses as of 12:01 a.m. on the day of Closing. In the event any rents for the month in which Closing occurs are due and payable but have not, in fact, been paid to Seller (hereinafter referred to as the 'Delinquent Rents'), the proration shall nonetheless be calculated as if such rents have been paid and at such later date as the Delinquent Rents are paid, the amounts so attributed to Seller shall be remitted to Seller by Purchaser, if received by Purchaser, or retained by Seller, if received by Seller. Any rents received by Purchaser after Closing from tenants owing Delinquent Rents shall first be applied by Purchaser to current rents then due and shall then be applied to such Delinquent Rents. In the event legal action is initiated against any tenant by Purchaser to collect the Delinquent Rents and/or other amounts subsequently becoming due, and such legal action is successful in collecting all or part of the total amount due, the costs of such legal action shall proportionately offset the amount of Delinquent Rents paid to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Delinquent Rents be more than thirty (30) days past due as of the date of Closing. 6. CONVEYANCE OF TITLE a. Seller shall convey title to the Property to Purchaser by trustees' deed, warranting only against persons claiming by, through, or under Seller, subject only to those matters set forth in Exhibit 'B' attached hereto and made a part hereof (hereinafter the 'Permitted Title Exceptions'). b. Purchaser shall have the right to examine the title to the Property and to notify Seller within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date in writing of any defects in or encumbrances upon Seller's title to the Property appearing on the public records that are unacceptable to Purchaser. In the event Purchaser notifies Seller of any such defect or encumbrance, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, for a period of ten (10) days from and after the Seller's receipt of such notice (even if such 10-day period is beyond the latest possible date for Closing set forth herein), within which to attempt to satisfy those title defects and encumbrances of which Purchaser has notified Seller. If Seller satisfies all such title defects and encumbrances within the aforesaid 10-day period, then the transaction contemplated hereby shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If Seller does not satisfy all such title defects and encumbrances within the aforesaid 10-day period (or such longer period as may be agreed to in writing by Purchaser), then Purchaser shall elect either: (i) not to close the transaction contemplated hereby, in which event Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser and, except for the indemnity provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be void and of no further force and effect; or (ii) to close the transaction contemplated hereby without regard to such unsatisfied defects and encumbrances, in which event the transaction contemplated hereby shall be closed in accordance with its terms, without a reduction in Purchase Price, and Seller's conveyance of title shall also be subject to all unsatisfied title defects and encumbrances. c. Seller covenants and agrees unto Purchaser that except as specifically notified by Seller, Seller has not since the record examination date specified in subparagraph b. above, and shall not further, voluntarily encumber the Property from the Effective Date through the date of expiration or other termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Purchaser shall also have the right to examine title to the Property at any time up to Closing for the purpose of ascertaining whether Seller has further voluntarily encumbered the Property in violation of Seller's aforesaid covenant and agreement. 7. CLOSING Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the closing (herein called 'Closing') of the transaction contemplated hereby shall be held, if at all, on or before that date which is sixty (60) days from the date of this agreement (the 'Closing Date'), in the metropolitan Atlanta area during regular business hours (as may be extended as provided in subparagraph 6.b. of this Agreement). The exact time, place, and date of Closing shall be selected by Purchaser by giving notice thereof, written or oral, to Seller at least five (5) business days prior to Closing. In the event Purchaser does not notify Seller of the exact time, place and date of Closing as provided in this paragraph 7, Closing shall be held at 10:00 a.m. on the aforesaid date in the offices of Seller, 5775-D Peachtree Dunwoody Road, Suite 200, Atlanta, GA 30342. At Purchaser's option, Purchaser may elect to extend the date for Closing for an additional sixty (60) day period (the 'First Extension Period'), upon not less than 15 days' prior written notice to Seller and deposit with Escrow Agent prior to the commencement date of such First Extension Period of the additional earnest money set forth in paragraph 2 above. Assuming that Purchaser has properly exercised its option to extend the date for Closing for the First Extension Period, at Purchaser's option, Purchaser may elect to extend the date for Closing for an additional thirty (30) days period (the 'Second Extension Period'), upon not less than 15 days' prior written notice to Seller and deposit with the Escrow Agent prior to the commencement date of such Second Extension Period of the additional earnest money set forth in paragraph 2 above. Purchaser acknowledges that the terms of the first mortgage on the Property requires Seller to give the holder thereof a minimum of thirty (30) days' notice of prepayment and that in the event Purchaser does exercise one or both of its options to extend the date for Closing and Seller is required to strictly comply with such prepayment notice provision and is not able to deliver the release of the Property from such mortgage as of a particular date established by Purchaser for such extended Closing, then the Closing shall be extended until such date as Seller is able to deliver such release. 8. BROKER AND BROKER'S COMMISSION a. In the event the transaction contemplated hereby is closed in accordance with its terms, Purchaser shall pay to Broker in cash at Closing a commission equal to TWO HUNDRED SIXTEEN THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($216,000.00). If the transaction contemplated hereby is not closed for any reason whatsoever, Purchaser shall owe no commission to Broker, and Broker hereby waives any and all claims to a broker's, real estate, or other fee or commission and any claim of quantum meruit in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby, except such commission as may become due in strict accordance with the terms hereof. b. Purchaser and Seller each warrant and represent to the other that, with the exception of Broker identified herein, such party has not employed a real estate broker or agent in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby. Purchaser and Seller covenant and agree, each to the other, to indemnify the other against any loss, liability costs, claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of action, and suits arising out of or in any manner related to the alleged employment or use by the indemnifying party of any real estate broker or agent other than the Broker identified herein. c. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that Broker has acted as agent for Purchaser in this transaction and has not acted as agent for Seller. 9. SURVEY AND INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY a. In exercise of the right of Purchaser and Purchaser's agents, employees and independent contractors to enter upon the Property prior to Closing, as set forth below, all at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, Purchaser shall take reasonable steps to minimize disruption to tenants of the Property and to minimize damage to the Property. Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller from any and all loss, liability, costs, claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of action, and suits arising out of or in any manner related to the exercise by Purchaser of Purchaser's rights under this paragraph 9. b. The Property shall be described in the Closing documents as described in that certain survey to be prepared for Purchaser by Watts & Browning Engineers. Purchaser has received a survey of the Property last updated in December 1992, and shall have thirty (30) days after the Effective Date to obtain a further update thereto, and to review and approve of any additional matters which may be disclosed by such update. Purchaser agrees to cause the Survey update to be prepared at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, and it shall be sufficient in all respects to allow Title Insurer to issue the Title Policy at the Closing. If Purchaser fails, within such thirty (30) day period, to disapprove any new matter disclosed by the Survey, by written notice to Seller, then the Survey shall be deemed approved by Purchaser. Otherwise, the process for removing and approving the matters disclosed in the Survey shall be the same as applied to the Title Commitment, as set forth herein. c. Seller agrees to assist and cooperate with Purchaser in obtaining access to the Property and certain documents relating thereto for the purposes of inspection.
