as "Purchaser").
WHEREAS, Purchaser requires a perpetual, non-exclusive Road Right-Of-Way,
Drainage and Utility Easement over, under, upon and across the lands described in
Exhibit "A", which is attached hereto and made a part of this Agreement (hereinafter
referred to as the "Easement"); and
WHEREAS, Owner desires to convey the Easement to Purchaser for the stated
purposes, on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, Purchaser has agreed to compensate Owner for conveyance of the
Easement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, the sum of Ten Dollars
($10,00), and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby mutually acknowledged, it is agreed by and between the parties as follows:
1. All of the above RECITALS are true and correct and are hereby expressly
incorporated herein by reference as if set forth fully below, and all Exhibits referenced
herein are made a part of this Agreement.
2. Owner shall convey the Property to Purchaser for the sum of:
$ 102,550.00
subject to the apportionment and distribution of proceeds pursuant to Paragraph 8 of
this Agreement (said transaction hereinafter referred to as the "Closing"). Said
payment to Owner, payable by County Warrant, shall be full compensation for the
Property conveyed, including all landscaping, trees, shrubs, improvements, and
fixtures located thereon, and shall be in full and final settlement of any damages
resulting to Owner's remaining lands, costs to cure, including but not limited to the
cost to relocate the existing irrigation system and other improvements, and the cost
to cut and cap irrigation lines extending into the Property, and to remove all sprinkler
valves and related electrical wiring, and all other damages in connection with
conveyance of said Property to Purchaser, including all attorneys' fees, expert
witness fees and costs as provided for in Chapter 73, Florida Statutes.
3. Prior to Closing, Owner shall obtain from the holders of any liens, exceptions and/or
qualifications encumbering the Easement, the execution of such instruments which
will remove, release or subordinate such encumbrances from the Easement upon
their recording in the public records of Collier County, Florida. Owner shall cause to
be delivered to Purchaser the items specified herein and the following documents
and instruments duly executed and acknowledged, in recordable form (hereinafter
referred to as "Closing Documents") on or before the date of Closing:
(a) Right-Of-Way, Drainage and Utility Easement;
Page 2
(b) Closing Statement;
(c) Grantor's Non-Foreign, Taxpayer Identification and "Gap" Affidavit;
(d) W-9 Form; and
(e) Such evidence of authority and capacity of Owner and its representatives to
execute and deliver this agreement and all other documents required to
consummate this transaction, as reasonably determined by Purchaser,
Purchaser's counsel and/or title company.
4. Both Owner and Purchaser agree that time is of the essence of this Agreement and
that, therefore, Closing shall occur within ninety (90) days from the date of execution
of this Agreement by the Purchaser; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have
the unilateral right to extend the term of this Agreement pending receipt of such
instruments, properly executed, which either remove or release any and all such
liens, encumbrances or qualifications affecting Purchaser's enjoyment of the
Easement. At Closing, payment shall be made to Owner in that amount shown on
the Closing Statement as "Net Cash to Seller," and Owner shall deliver the Closing
Documents to Purchaser in a form acceptable to Purchaser.
5. Owner agrees to relocate any existing irrigation system located on the Property
including irrigation lines, electrical wiring and sprinkler valves, etc., prior to the
construction of the project without any further notification from Purchaser. Owner
assumes full responsibility for the relocation of the irrigation system on the remainder
property and its performance after relocation. Owner holds County harmless for any
and all possible damage to the irrigation system in the event owner fails to relocate
the irrigation system prior to construction of the project.
If Owner elects to retain improvements and/or landscaping ("Improvements") located
on the Property, the Owner is responsible for their retrieval prior to the construction
of the project without any further notification from Purchaser. Owner acknowledges
that Purchaser has compensated Owner for the value of the Improvements and yet
Purchaser is willing to permit Owner to salvage the Improvements as long as their
retrieval is performed before construction and without interruption or inconvenience
to the County's contractor. All Improvements not removed from the Property prior to
construction of the project commences shall be deemed abandoned by Owner.
This provision shall survive Closing and is not deemed satisfied by conveyance of
title.
6. Owner and Purchaser agree to do all things which may be required to give effect to
this Agreement immediately as such requirement is made known to them or they are
requested to do so, whichever is the earlier.
7. Owner agrees, represents and warrants the following:
(a) Owner has full right, power and authority to own and operate the property
underlying the Easement, to enter into and to execute this Agreement, to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the
instruments executed in connection herewith, to undertake all actions and to
perform all tasks required of Owner hereunder and to consummate the
transaction contemplated hereby.
(b) Purchaser's acceptance of the Easement shall not be deemed to be full
performance and discharge of every agreement and obligation on the part of
Owner to be performed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
(c) No party or person other than Purchaser has any right or option to acquire
the Easement or any portion thereof.
(d) Until the date fixed for Closing, so long as this Agreement remains in force
and effect, Owner shall not encumber or convey any portion of the property

threatened environmental lien against the property underlying the Easement;

from, and reimburse the Purchaser with respect to, any and all damages, claims,
liabilities, laws, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable paralegal

Paragraph 2 which may be required by any mortgagee, lien-holder or other
encumbrance-holder for the protection of its security interest or as consideration for
the execution of any release, subordination or satisfaction, shall be the responsibility
of the Owner, and shall be deducted on the Closing Statement from the
compensation payable to the Owner per Paragraph 2. In accordance with the
provisions of Section 201.01, Florida Statutes, concerning payment of documentary
stamp taxes by Purchaser, Owner shall further pay all documentary stamp taxes
