Exhibit 10.212
POST CLOSING AGREEMENT
THIS POST CLOSING AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made and entered into as of
the 30th day of June, 2004, by and between INLAND WESTERN BLUFFTON LOW COUNTRY,
L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (Purchaser), and STAFFORD COLLETON,
LLC., a Georgia limited liability company (Seller), in connection with the
acquisition by Purchaser of that certain property commonly known as Phase I of
Low Country Village Shopping Center, Bluffton, South Carolina (the Property).
WHEREAS, Purchaser is acquiring the Property from Seller (the
"Transaction").
WHEREAS, in order to proceed with and consummate such acquisition and as a
condition to closing the Transaction, Purchaser requires that Seller agree to
the obligations set forth below, which are to be performed after such closing.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration including the mutual
promises contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. WARRANTIES. Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under the
warranties set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof
(individually, a "Warranty," and collectively, the "Warranties") were not
assigned to Purchaser at the closing of the Transaction because such Warranties
may not be assigned or transferred without the prior consent of the Warranty
issuer. From and after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to have such Warranties issued and obtain the aforementioned
consents (upon the receipt of which Seller shall assign such Warranty to
Purchaser) or have the Warranties reissued in the name of Purchaser. Seller
shall be responsible for the payment of any and all fees and costs in connection
with obtaining any such consents with respect to or the re-issuance of any of
the Warranties. Seller shall, until the first to occur of (i) the expiration of
an applicable Warranty and (ii) the date that the applicable Warranty is
assigned to Purchaser (with any and all required consents) or reissued in the
name of Purchaser, cooperate with Purchaser, at no cost to Seller, with respect
to the enforcement of the terms and provisions of, and any and all claims under,
any Warranty.
2. BUILDING ENCROACHMENT VARIANCE. (a) Seller and Purchaser acknowledge
that a small portion of the building located upon the Property encroaches over a
ten foot (10') buffer running along the northern boundary line of the Property
as designated on Exhibit "D" hereto (the "Encroachment"). From and after the
date of this Agreement, Seller shall either (i) file and pursue with reasonable
diligence, an application to obtain a variance from the County of Beaufort,
South Carolina (and any other governmental entities or agencies with
jurisdiction)(collectively, the "County") permitting the Encroachment (the
"Variance") or (ii) obtain from such County, a letter or other written approval
of the Encroachment on the grounds that the "modulation" rules allow the
Encroachment (the "Approval Letter", such Approval Letter or Variance being
herein referred to as the "County Approval"). Seller shall be responsible for
the payment of any and all fees, costs and expenses not to exceed $ 2500.00 in
connection with obtaining the Variance or Approval Letter. Purchaser agrees to
reasonably cooperate with Seller, at Seller's cost, in connection with obtaining
the Variance (including, without, limitation, executing any application to be
submitted requesting the Variance). Prior to filing any application or other
documents relating to the approval, Seller shall provide Purchaser with copies
thereof for Purchaser's review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). Additionally, not less than two (2) business days prior thereto,
Seller shall inform Purchaser of any and all meetings, hearings and formal
negotiations with any representatives of the County or the public regarding the
Encroachment and/or the Variance. Purchaser shall have the right to have a
representative present at and participate in any such meetings, hearing and/or
other conversations or negotiations. Without Purchaser's prior approval, Seller
shall make no agreements with the County regarding the Encroachment or the
Variance which shall be binding upon Purchaser or the Property.

3. PETSMART TENANT ESTOPPEL. Within thirty (30) days after the date of
this Agreement, or such longer period as PetsSmart allows Seller, as the case
may be, Seller shall, at its cost, satisfy the requirements of Section 9 of the
PetsMart tenant estoppel certificate attached hereto as Exhibit B and made a
part hereof. Seller promptly shall deliver to Purchaser copies of any
reconciliation pursuant to such Section 9 agreed to by Seller and PetsMart.
4. MALPHRUS ROAD. From and after the date of this Agreement until the one
(1) year anniversary of the date hereof ("Outside Date"), Seller shall use
commercially reasonable efforts, at its cost and expense, to dedicate, or cause
to be dedicated, Malphrus Road (a legal description of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit C and made a part hereof) to the County, such that Malphrus Road
shall be a publicly dedicated roadway. Should such dedication have not been
achieved by the Outside Date, Seller shall have no further obligation to
continue such efforts.
5. CROSS DRAINAGE EASEMENT. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to have
the Cross Drainage Easement For Stormwater Management between Seller (to be
executed by Purchaser) and DID2, LLC, executed by all parties thereto including
any mortgagees consenting and subordinating their mortgages to such agreement.
6. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate with each
other following the closing to confirm any matter and execute any document
reasonably required by the other party in furthering of the closing.
7. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of South Carolina. The invalidity
or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect, modify
or impair the validity and enforceability of all other provisions of this
Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their representatives, heirs, legatees, successors, and
assigns; provided, however, that Seller shall have no right whatsoever to assign
its interest under this Agreement and any such attempted assignment shall
automatically be null and void and of no force and effect, and shall be deemed a
breach by Seller of its obligations hereunder. No failure or delay by Purchaser
in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder. No change, amendment or modification of this Agreement
shall be binding or enforceable unless in writing and executed by the party to
be bound thereby. The covenants, agreements and indemnification provisions
contained in this Agreement shall be enforceable notwithstanding the closing of
the Transaction. In the event of litigation with respect to any portions of this
Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to collect all reasonable legal
fees incurred in connection with such litigation from the non-prevailing party.
Purchaser shall have all remedies available at law and in equity on account of a
default by Seller under this Agreement. Time is of the essence of this Agreement
and the terms hereof. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts.
