This Agreement contains the Buyer’s promises to do or not to do various things. Failure to keep these promises within designated time periods, if any are specified, is called a “default” or “breach of contract.”

 

The Buyer and the Seller specifically agree that if the Buyer commits or permits a default, the damages which the Seller will suffer cannot be calculated in advance with any degree of mathematical certainty. However, in good faith, the Buyer and the Seller have agreed to estimate the amount of such damages which will reasonably compensate the Seller for a default. This is called “liquidated damages.” If the Buyer commits or permits a default, the Seller may choose to terminate this Agreement. If the Seller terminates this Agreement, the Buyer will no longer have any rights under this Agreement or with respect to the property. Upon termination, the Seller will be entitled to liquidated damages in an amount equal to the Additional Deposit monies.

 

  

The amount of liquidated damages may be greater or less than the actual amount of damages that the Seller may suffer. However, the actual amount of Seller’s damages may not be determinable for a significant time after Buyer’s default. Buyer understands that the provision for liquidated damages is of vital importance to the Seller, and that the Seller would not enter into this Agreement without such a provision. Accordingly, the Buyer agrees that the Seller may enforce the liquidated damages provision.

 

15.         COMPLETE AGREEMENT. This Contract is the entire and only agreement between the Buyer and the Seller. This contract replaces and cancels any previous agreements between the Buyer and the Seller. This contract can only be changed by an agreement in writing signed by both Buyer and Seller. The Seller states that the Seller has not made any other Contracts to sell the property to anyone else.

 

16.         PARTIES LIABLE. This Contract is binding upon all parties who sign it and all who succeed to their rights and responsibilities.

 

17.         BROKER’S COMMISSION. The parties hereby represent to each other that there are no written agreements or correspondence with any real estate agents or brokers relating to this Agreement and therefore the parties hold each other harmless from any claims for commissions. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the Buyer was introduced to the property by Michael Smyth and Seller shall be responsible for the payment of a $25,000.00 commission to Smyth in recognition of such service.

26.         EXCHANGE UNDER SECTION 1031.

 

Like Kind Exchange Election. Seller may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to exchange (rather than sell) the Property for other property of a like kind. The parties acknowledge that it is Seller’s intent that the exchange qualify as a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Therefore, to the extent possible, the provisions of this Section shall be interpreted consistently with this intent. The foregoing notwithstanding, if a tax-deferred exchange cannot be effected for any reason other than the breach of Buyer, Seller shall be obligated to close the transaction as a purchase and sale pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

Election Notice. To exercise its right under this Section to exchange, rather than sell, the Property, Seller shall provide Buyer with a written statement stating its intent to enter into an exchange at least three (3) days prior to the closing date.

 

Assignment of Agreement. If Seller exercises its right to exchange, rather than sell, the Property, Seller may, on or before the closing date, assign its rights under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary,” as defined in Treasury Regulation 1 .103(k)-1(g) (the “Accommodator”) or transfer the Property to the Accommodator subject to all of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, including without limitation Buyer’s rights to acquire the Property at the closing. In either case, all payments which Buyer is obligated to make to Seller under this Agreement shall be made to an escrow agent or the Accommodator, as appropriate, and not to Seller. Buyer agrees to cooperate with the Seller and the Accommodator in arranging the exchange. Buyer shall execute any and all documents as a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations effective thereunder at the time of closing, including but not limited to any appropriate amendments to this Agreement and any appropriate escrow instructions provided however, that no such document shall adversely affect Buyer in any respect or change any of the economic terms and conditions of the transaction with respect to Buyer, nor require Buyer to obtain title to another piece of property. For example, if Seller assigns its rights under this Agreement to the Accommodator and/or transfers the Property to the Accommodator, Seller shall simultaneously execute an appropriate document affirming to Buyer that the warranties and representations of Seller set forth in this Agreement and the deed required pursuant to this Agreement shall remain the representations and warranties of Seller. Buyer shall not be obligated to incur any costs, expenses, losses, liabilities or damages greater than those Buyer would have incurred had Seller not elected to effect an exchange. Seller shall reimburse Buyer at closing for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer in excess of those that would have been incurred if Seller had not elected to effect an exchange.

 

Buyer’s Limited Obligation. In no event shall Buyer be obligated to acquire title to any other property, whether by Deed or Contract right, for the benefit of Seller or its assignee, nor shall Buyer be obligated to accommodate any exchange in any similar manner. Buyer’s sole obligation in connection with any exchange shall be to acquire the Property from Seller or its assignee in exchange for the purchase price. Seller agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Buyer free and harmless from all costs, expenses, losses, damages or liability, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of suit, arising out of or in connection with any exchange attempted pursuant to this Section and Buyer’s cooperation hereunder. Seller acknowledges that Seller is not relying on any representations of Buyer or Buyer’s counsel with respect to the federal, state or local income tax treatment of Seller in connection with this transaction. The obligations of the parties under this Section survive closing and the delivery of the Deed. Buyer shall not be required to either accelerate or delay closing in an effort to accommodate any proposed 1031 Exchange.
