5

 

2.2           Assumption of Liabilities.
 
(a)           Buyer is assuming no liabilities attributable to the operation or ownership of the Property which accrued or occurred on or prior to the Closing, all of which Seller shall pay, discharge and perform when due. Specifically, without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall not assume (a) any claim, action, suit, or proceeding pending as of the Closing or any subsequent claim, action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to any event occurring prior to Closing, with respect to the manner in which Seller conducted its businesses on or prior to the Closing or (b) any liability for Taxes other than real property taxes from and after Closing.
 
(b)           Buyer acknowledges that, effective as of the Closing, Buyer shall assume and undertake to pay, discharge, and perform only the liabilities and obligations of Seller under the Lease Agreement (but not any amendments or modifications thereto which are entered into after the Effective Date hereof not in compliance with this Agreement), to the extent such liabilities and obligations arise during and relate to any period from and after the Closing (collectively, the “Assumed Obligations”).
 
2.3           Purchase Price.  The purchase price for the Property shall be an amount equal to FOURTEEN MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 U.S. DOLLARS ($14,750,000.00), (the “Purchase Price”), which shall be paid to Seller for the Property, all of which shall be paid by Buyer at Closing via wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(a)           By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, Escrow Agent agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions in Section 2.4 of this Agreement to the extent applicable to its duties, liabilities and obligations as “Escrow Agent.”  Escrow Agent shall hold and dispose of the funds deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement (“Escrowed Funds”) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Escrow Agent shall incur no liability in connection with the safekeeping or disposition of the Escrowed Funds for any reason other than Escrow Agent’s breach of contract, willful misconduct or gross negligence.  Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed by Buyer and Seller, jointly and severally, for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with its obligations hereunder.  If Escrow Agent is in doubt as to its duties or obligations with regard to the Escrowed Funds, or if the Escrow Agent receives conflicting instructions from Buyer and Seller with respect to the Escrowed Funds, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to disburse the Escrowed Funds and may, at its option, continue to hold the Escrowed Funds until both Buyer and Seller agree as to their disposition, or until a final judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction directing their disposition, or the Escrow Agent may interplead the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.  Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the preservation of principal or any interest on the Escrowed Funds except as is actually earned, or for the loss of any interest or principal resulting from the withdrawal of the Escrowed Funds prior to the date interest is posted thereon.

(b)           The Escrow Agent may resign upon written notice to the Seller and Buyer.  If a successor escrow agent is not appointed by the Seller and Buyer within this thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent may, but shall have no duty to, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to name a successor.  If no successor escrow agent is appointed within thirty (30) days after such written notice, the Escrow Agent may withhold performance by it pursuant to Section 5(a) until such time as a successor escrow agent is appointed and, at such time, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrowed Funds or other documents, instruments or items, if any, delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder to any such successor escrow agent; provided, however, the Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with any joint written instructions from the Seller and Buyer.
 
(c)           The Escrow Agent may be removed, with or without cause, by the Buyer and Seller acting jointly at any time by providing written notice to the Escrow Agent.
 
(d)           This Section 2.5 shall survive the Closing or the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.
 
ARTICLE III

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 3.6(c) shall limit the right of the Buyer to pursue any and all remedies provided in Section 11.2 of this Agreement as a result of Seller’s default.

10.2           Indemnification by Seller.  From and after Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer and its officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, successors and assigns from and against, and pay or reimburse each of them for and with respect to, any Loss relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following:
 
 
26

 

(a)           Any breach by Seller of any of its representations and warranties in this Agreement or any other Document which were not actually known to Buyer as of the Closing Date;
 
(b)           Any breach by Seller of Seller’s obligations under the closing documents;
 
(c)           Claims relating to the ownership of the Property prior to the Closing, including without limitation, any and all liabilities which relate to events occurring prior to the Closing, regardless of when they are asserted or whether such was disclosed to Buyer and regardless of whether such was a breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant by Seller, except for Assumed Obligations; and
 
(d)           Claims by any other party claiming to have represented Seller as broker or agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
10.3           Indemnification by Buyer.  From and after Closing, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, successors and assigns from and against, and pay or reimburse each of them for and with respect to any Loss relating to, arising out of or resulting from:
 
(a)           The Assumed Obligations; and
 
(b)           Any breach by Buyer of any of its obligations of Buyer under the closing documents.
 
10.4           Administration of Indemnification.  For purposes of administering the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 10.2 and Section 10.3, the following procedure shall apply:
 
(a)           Whenever a claim shall arise for indemnification under this ARTICLE X, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give a reasonably prompt written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) setting forth in reasonable detail, to the extent then available, the facts concerning the nature of such claim and the basis upon which the Indemnified Party believes that it is entitled to indemnification hereunder.
 
(b)           In the event of any claim for indemnification resulting from or in connection with any claim by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole expense, either (i) to participate in defending against such claim or (ii) to assume the entire defense with counsel which is selected by it and which is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided that no settlement shall be made and no judgment consented to without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  If, however, (x) the claim, action, suit or proceeding would, if successful, result in the imposition of damages for which the Indemnifying Party would not be solely responsible, or (y) representation of both parties by the same counsel would otherwise be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the entire defense and each party shall be entitled to retain counsel who shall cooperate with one another in defending against such claim.  In the case of clause (x), the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to bear only that portion of the expense of the Indemnified Party’s counsel that is in proportion to the damages indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party compared to the total amount of the third-party claim against the Indemnified Party.  In the case of clause (y), the Indemnifying Party shall pay all costs of defense of both itself and the actual out-of-pocket costs of the Indemnified Party.
 
 
27

 

(c)           If the Indemnifying Party does not choose to defend against a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party may defend in such manner as it deems appropriate or settle the claim (after giving notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party) on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to periodic reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party of defense expenses incurred and prompt indemnification from the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this ARTICLE X.
 
(d)           Failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give a reasonably prompt notice of any claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect an Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect to the claim, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual Loss or prejudice as a result of such failure or delay.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties agree that no indemnification right or obligation shall apply to the extent any such Loss or expense is paid to an Indemnified Party by an insurance company.
 
(e)           The right to pursue indemnification as set forth in Sections 10.2(a) and 10.3(b) shall survive the Closing hereunder for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing, and the right to pursue indemnification as set forth in all other Sections of this ARTICLE X shall survive the Closing hereunder.
 
(f)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the right to pursue indemnification as set forth in this ARTICLE X shall be actionable or payable only if valid claims for Losses, if any, collectively aggregate more than Seventy One Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($71,000) (the “Floor”); provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply in the case of fraud on the part of Buyer, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, or to any claims arising under Section 10.2(b), Section 10.2(d), or Section 10.3(b) (none of which shall be limited in any manner whatsoever).  In addition, Buyer agrees to concurrently seek recovery against Seller, under any insurance policies, the Title Policy and other applicable agreements, and Seller shall not be liable to Buyer to the extent Buyer’s claim is actually satisfied from any sums recovered from such insurance policies, Title Policy or other applicable agreements.  FINALLY, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY EVER BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OTHER THAN IN THE EVENT OF FRAUD.
 
ARTICLE XI
DEFAULT AND TERMINATION
 
11.1           Right of Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated prior to Closing as follows:
 
 
28

 
 
(a)           By Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time during the Due Diligence Period for any reason or for no reason whatsoever.  

(b)           By written agreement of Seller and Buyer.
 
(c)           By Buyer if, as of the Closing or such earlier date as specified in this Agreement, all conditions in ARTICLE VII have not been met, or as specifically provided for in Sections 11.2(a)(i), 12.16, and 12.17; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 11.1(c) shall limit Seller’s rights pursuant to 11.2 below.
 
(d)           By Seller if, as of Closing or such earlier date as specified in this Agreement, (i) all conditions in ARTICLE VII have been met and Buyer defaults on its obligation to close this transaction, or (ii) the conditions in ARTICLE VIII have not been met; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 11.1(d) shall limit Seller’s rights pursuant to Section 11.2 below.
 
(e)           By Seller or Buyer if a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental agency shall have issued an order, decree, or ruling or taken any other action (which order, decree, or ruling the parties hereto shall use their diligent efforts to lift), in each case permanently retraining, enjoining, or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or otherwise determining that the consummation of such transactions would be unlawful, and such order, decree or ruling shall have become final and nonappealable.  
 
(f)           By Seller as provided in Section 2.3.  In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 11.1 or pursuant to any other express provision of this Agreement for any reason other than a default by the Seller or Buyer hereunder, then (i) this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect as of the date of delivery of such written notice of termination, (ii) the Buyer and Seller shall equally share the cancellation charges, if any, of the Escrow Agent and Title Company, (iii) no party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than pursuant to any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement and (iv) all Escrowed Funds shall be released to the party entitled to the same in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof.
 
11.2           Remedies upon Default.  
 
(a)           If Seller defaults on any of Seller’s obligations hereunder other than as a result of a prior uncured default by Buyer, and such default continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof specifying such default, Buyer may serve notice in writing to the Seller in the manner provided in this Agreement, and either:
 
 
(i)
Terminate this Agreement, receive from Seller reimbursement of all actual third-party out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer in pursuing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in an amount not to exceed FIFTY THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($50,000.00), and pursue all legal remedies available at law against Seller for Buyer’s actual damages which are caused by Seller’s default hereunder and which damages are due to any government fines or penalties; or
 
 
29

 
 
 
(ii)
Waive any such conditions, title objections or defaults and consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in the same manner as if there had been no title objections, conditions or defaults without any reduction in the Purchase Price and without any further claim against the Seller therefor and, if necessary, pursue an action for specific performance.
 
(b)           If Buyer defaults on its obligation to close this transaction other than as a result of a prior uncured default by Seller, Seller’s exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive the Earnest Money Deposit as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.  Seller and Buyer agree that Seller’s damages resulting from Buyer’s default are difficult if not impossible to determine and the Earnest Money Deposit is a fair estimate of those damages which has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of such damages to be certain.  
 
11.3           Specific Performance.  Seller specifically agrees that Buyer shall be entitled, in the event of a default by Seller, to enforcement of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance or injunctive relief requiring Seller to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement; provided that Buyer institutes any action for specific performance within forty-five (45) days after the scheduled Closing Date.  If Buyer pursues an action for specific performance and prevails, Buyer shall not be entitled to any monetary damages, except as set forth in Section 12.14.
 
11.4           Obligations Upon Termination.  Except as otherwise provided herein, if this Agreement is terminated, each of the parties shall bear its own costs incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
11.5           Termination Notice.  Each notice given by a party to terminate this Agreement shall specify the Section of this ARTICLE XI pursuant to which such notice is given.  If at the time a party gives a termination notice, such party is entitled to give such notice pursuant to more than one Section of this ARTICLE XI, the Section pursuant to which such notice is given and termination is effected shall be deemed to be the Section specified in such notice provided that the party giving such notice is at such time entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the specified Section.
 
11.6           Sole and Exclusive Remedy.  Seller and Buyer each acknowledge and agree that prior to the Closing, such party’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims made prior to the Closing for any breach or liability under this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be solely in accordance with, and limited to, Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3.  The foregoing shall in no manner limit the rights and obligations of the parties provided in ARTICLE X from and after the Closing.  In addition, in no event shall the provisions of this ARTICLE XI limit the non-prevailing party’s obligation to pay the prevailing party’s attorneys’ fees and costs pursuant to Section 12.14 hereof.
 
 
30

 
 
ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS

12.3           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the other Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior negotiations, agreements, understandings, or arrangements between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
 
12.4           Binding Effect; Benefits.  Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns.  Except to the extent specified herein, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer on any person other than the parties hereto and any Indemnified Party and their respective successors or permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.
 
12.5           Assignment.  This Agreement may not be assigned by any party prior to Closing without the written consent of the Buyer and Seller, which consent may be given or withheld in each such party’s sole and absolute discretion, except that Buyer may assign this Agreement and its rights hereunder without the consent of Seller (i) to an Affiliate of Buyer, (ii) to a partnership in which Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer is a general partner, (iii) a limited liability company in which Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer is a manager or managing member or (iv) any other lawful entity entitled to do business in the state in which the Property is located provided such entity is controlled by, controlling or under the common control with Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer (each, a “Permitted Buyer-Assignee”).  In the event of such an assignment to a Permitted Buyer-Assignee, Buyer shall not be released from any of its duties, covenants, obligations or representations and warranties under this Agreement and, from and after any such assignment, Buyer and such Permitted Buyer-Assignee shall be jointly and severally liable under this Agreement, and from and after any such assignment, the term “Buyer” shall be deemed to mean such Permitted Buyer-Assignee under any such assignment.
 
 
32

 
 
12.6           Governing Law.  This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Real Property is located without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws.  Venue for any dispute shall be in Dallas County, Texas.
 
12.7           Amendments and Waivers.  No term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived, discharged, or terminated orally, except by an instrument in writing signed by: (i) Buyer and Seller with respect to any provision contained herein; and (ii) Buyer, Seller, and Escrow Agent with respect to Section 2.5 hereof.  Any waiver shall be effective only in accordance with its express terms and conditions.
 
12.8           Obligations Several.  If there is more than one entity constituting Seller hereunder, such entities shall be severally liable for performing only the obligations of each such entity under this Agreement.
 
12.9           Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the parties hereto hereby waive any provision of Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect which renders any provision hereof unenforceable in any respect.
 
12.10         Headings.  The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.
 
12.11         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed and accepted in one or more counterparts for the convenience of the parties, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of a counterpart hereof via facsimile transmission or by electronic mail transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
 
12.12         References.  All references in this Agreement to Articles and Sections are to Articles and Sections contained in this Agreement unless a different document is expressly specified.
 
12.13         Seller Disclosure Letter.  The Seller Disclosure Letter delivered by the Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, and each Schedule and Exhibit comprising the Seller Disclosure Letter referred to in this Agreement, shall be deemed to be attached hereto and incorporated by reference even though it may be maintained separately from this Agreement or completed after the Effective Date so long as it is acknowledged as a Schedule or an Exhibit to this Agreement by the parties hereto as of Closing.  Any item disclosed hereunder (including in the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) shall be deemed disclosed for all purposes hereof irrespective of the specific representation or warranty to which it is explicitly referenced.
 
12.14         Attorneys’ Fees.  In the event either party brings an action to enforce or interpret any of the provisions of this Agreement, the “prevailing party” in such action shall, in addition to any other recovery, be entitled to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses arising from such action and any appeal or any bankruptcy action related thereto, whether or not such matter proceeds to trial.  For purposes of this Section 12.14, “prevailing party” shall mean, in the case of a person asserting a claim, such person is successful in obtaining substantially all of the relief sought, and in the case of a person defending against or responding to a claim, such person is successful in denying substantially all of the relief sought.
 
 
33

 

12.15         Section 1031 Exchange/Tax Planning.  If requested by either Buyer or Seller, the other party shall cooperate in permitting the other to accomplish an exchange under Section 1031 of the Code or to restructure this transaction in a way which is more advantageous for tax purposes; provided, however, that such exchange or restructuring shall not modify any underlying financial or other material terms of this Agreement, shall not delay the Closing, shall not relieve Buyer or Seller of any liability for their respective obligations hereunder, and shall not result in any other party incurring any greater cost or expense that it otherwise would if any such exchange had not been elected.
 
12.16         Casualty.  The risk of any loss or damage to the Property by fire or other casualty before the Closing shall continue to be borne by Seller.  Seller shall promptly give Buyer written notice of any fire or other casualty (in any event within five (5) days after Seller first has knowledge of the occurrence of same), which notice shall include a description thereof in reasonable detail and an estimate of the cost of time to repair.  If (i) any portion of the Property is damaged by fire or casualty after the Effective Date and is not repaired and restored substantially to its original condition prior to Closing, or (ii) at the time of Closing the estimated cost of repairs as to the Property is FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($500,000.00) or less, as determined by an independent adjuster selected by Seller, Buyer shall be required to purchase the Property in accordance with this Agreement, and Buyer shall, at Buyer’s option, either: (x) receive a credit at Closing of the estimated cost or repairs to the Property, as determined by the aforesaid independent adjuster, plus any reasonably estimated lost revenue following Closing arising from such fire or casualty; or (y) receive from Seller at Closing (I) an assignment, without representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller, of all insurance claims and proceeds with respect thereto, plus (II) an amount equal to Seller’s insurance deductible, plus (III) a credit for the amount of any reasonably estimated lost revenue following Closing arising from such fire or casualty.  If the estimated cost of repairing such damage to the Property is more than FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($500,000.00), as determined by such independent adjuster, or if the damage results in the termination of any lease for the Real Property, Buyer may, at its sole option: (x) terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller on or before the earlier of the Closing or the tenth (10th) day after receipt of such notice described above, in which event no party shall have any further liability to the party under this Agreement; or (y) proceed to Closing as provided in this Section 12.16.  In no event shall the amount of insurance proceeds assigned to Buyer under this subparagraph (plus the amount of the deductible) exceed the lesser of (i) the cost of repair or (ii) the Purchase Price.  The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 12.16 shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.
 
12.17         Condemnation.  The risk of any loss or damage to the Property by condemnation before the Closing shall continue to be borne by Seller.  In the event any condemnation proceeding is commenced or threatened, Seller shall promptly give Buyer written notice thereof (in any event within five (5) days after Seller first has knowledge of the occurrence of same), together with such reasonable details with respect thereto as to which Seller may have knowledge.  If, prior to Closing, there is a material taking by eminent domain at the Property, this Agreement shall become null and void at Buyer’s option, and upon receipt by Seller of the written notice of an election by Buyer to treat this Agreement as null and void, this Agreement shall be deemed null and void. If Buyer elects to proceed and to consummate the purchase despite said material taking, or if there is less than a material taking prior to Closing, there shall be no reduction in or abatement of the Purchase Price and Buyer shall be required to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Seller shall assign to Buyer, without representation of warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any award made or to be made in the condemnation proceeding (in which event Buyer shall have the right to participate in the adjustment and settlement of any insurance claim relating to said damage).  For the purpose of this Section 12.17, the term “material” shall mean any taking of in excess of ten percent (10%) of the square footage of the Property or twenty percent (20%) of the Real Property associated with the Property or any taking which results in the termination of any lease for the Real Property.  The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 12.17 shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.
 
 
34

 

12.18         Limited Liability.  No past, present, or future member, partner, shareholder, director, officer of employee of any party to this Agreement shall have any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever in connection with or under this Agreement or Document contemplated hereby or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any such other agreement.
 
12.19         Survival of Defined Terms.  Where this Agreement provides that a term or provision shall survive the Closing or the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, any defined terms contained in ARTICLE I that are used in such surviving term or provision shall also survive.
 
12.20         Time of Essence.  Time shall be of the essence with respect to all matters contemplated by this Agreement.
 
12.21         No Third-Party Beneficiary.  The provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the benefit of the Buyer, Seller, Guarantor and Escrow Agent only and are not for the benefit of any third party; and, accordingly, no third party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing.
 
12.22         WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY EACH PARTY, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.  ANY PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY EACH PARTY HERETO.
