notice, Seller will provide Purchaser, and its agents, with access to the Property for
purposes of surveying, soil borings, site inspection and analysis.
B. Election and Response. If Purchaser is not satisfied, for any reason, with the
results of this investigation, Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement,
without penalty, by giving written notice of its intent to terminate prior to expiration
of the Inspection Period. Purchaser may elect to suspend its Notice of
Termination if Seller notifies Purchaser in writing within ten (10) days thereafter
that Seller agrees to promptly carry out, at its sole expense, all further
investigations and remediation of the Property as necessary to make the Property
acceptable to Purchaser (hereinafter "Remedial Action") within a time period
acceptable to Purchaser. As a condition precedent for suspension of the Notice
of Termination, the parties shall agree to the specific term of such suspension and

requires investigation, remediation, or is, or becomes regulated under any federal.
state, or local law, regulation, order or policy; or (2) which is or becomes defined
as a hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant under federal, state or local
law or regulation; or (3) which is toxic, explosive, corrosive, flammable, infectious,
radioactive, carcinogenic, mutagenic or otherwise hazardous, or threatens the
health or safety of persons on or about the Property, and is being regulated by any
governmental authority in the state of Florida.
D. If Purchaser does not have the Property inspected, or fails to do so within the
Inspection Period, or fails to notify Seller of its intent to terminate, Purchaser shall
be deemed to have accepted the Property in the condition it existed on the
Effective Date.
5. RISK OF LOSS
Seller shall maintain the Property in the condition existing on the Effective Date until
Closing or date of Purchaser's possession, whichever is later, except for any Remedial
Action agreed to by Seller under Section 4B above. Any future loss and/or damage to
the Property between the Effective Date and the Closing or date of Purchaser's
possession, whichever is earlier, shall be at Seller's sole risk and expense.
6. REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS FOR CLOSING
Upon execution of this Agreement by both parties or at such other time as specified
within this Section, Purchaser and/or Seller, as the case may be, shall perform the
following within the times stated, which shall be conditions precedent to the Closing:
A. Within fifteen (15) days after the date hereof, Purchaser shall obtain as
evidence of title an AL T A Commitment for an Owner's Title Insurance Policy
(ALTA Form B-1970) covering the Property, together with hard copies of all
exceptions shown thereon. Purchaser shall have thirty (30) days, following receipt
of the title insurance commitment, to notify Seller in writing of any objection to title
other than liens evidencing monetary obligations, if any, which obligations shall be
paid at closing. If the title commitment contains exceptions that make the title
unmarketable, Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller written notice of its intention to
waive the applicable contingencies or to terminate this Agreement.
B. If Purchaser shall fail to advise the Seller in writing of any such objections in
Seller's title in the manner herein required by this Agreement, the title shall be
deemed acceptable. Upon notification of Purchaser's objection to title, Seller shall
have thirty (30) days to remedy any defects in order to convey good and
marketable title, except for liens or monetary obligations which will be satisfied at
Closing. Seller, at its sole expense, shall use its best efforts to make such title
Page NO.3
good and marketable. In the event Seller is unable to cure said objections within
said time period, Purchaser, by providing written notice to Seller within seven (7)
days after expiration of said thirty (30) day period, may accept title as it then is,
waiving any objection, or may terminate the Agreement.
C. Seller agrees to furnish any existing surveys of the Property in Seller's
possession to Purchaser within 10 (ten) days of the Effective Date of this
Agreement. Purchaser shall have the option, at its own expense, to obtain a
current survey of the Property prepared by a surveyor licensed by the State of
Florida. No adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be made based upon any
change to the total acreage referenced in the Property, unless the difference in
acreage revealed by survey exceeds 5% of the overall acreage. If the survey
provided by Seller or obtained by Purchaser, as certified by a registered Florida
surveyor, shows: (a) an encroachment onto the property; or (b) that an
improvement located on the Property projects onto lands of others, or (c) lack of
legal access to a public roadway, the Purchaser shall notify the Seller in writing of
such encroachment, projection, or lack of legal access, and Seller shall have the
option of curing said encroachment or projection, or obtaining legal access to the
Property from a public roadway. Purchaser shall have sixty (60) days from the
Effective Date of this Agreement to notify Seller in writing of any such objections.
Should Seller elect not to or be unable to remove the encroachment, projection, or
provide legal access to the property within sixty (60) days, Purchaser, by providing
written notice to Seller within seven (7) days after expiration of said sixty (60) day
period, may accept the Property as it then is, waiving any objection to the
encroachment, or projection, or lack of legal access, or Purchaser may terminate
the Agreement. A failure by Purchaser to give such written notice of termination
within the time period provided herein shall be deemed an election by Purchaser
to accept the Property with the encroachment, or projection, or lack of legal
access.
7. TERMINATION AND REMEDIES
A. If Seller shall have failed to perform any of the covenants and promises
contained herein, which are to be performed by Seller, within fifteen (15) days of
written notification of such failure, Purchaser may, at its option, terminate this
Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller. Purchaser shall have
the right to seek and enforce all rights and remedies available at law or in equity to
a contract vendee, including the right to seek specific performance of this
Agreement.
B. If the Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to any of the
provisions authorizing such termination, and Purchaser fails to close the
transaction contemplated hereby or otherwise fails to perform any of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Agreement as required on the part of Purchaser
to be performed, provided Seller is not in default, then as Seller's sole remedy,
Seller shall have the right to terminate and cancel this Agreement by giving written
notice thereof to Purchaser, whereupon $500.00 shall be paid to Seller as
liquidated damages which shall be Seller's sole and exclusive remedy, and neither
party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other except as set forth in
Section 10, Real Estate Brokers, hereof. The parties acknowledge and agree that
Seller's actual damages in the event of Purchaser's default are uncertain in
amount and difficult to ascertain, and that said amount of liquidated damages was
reasonably determined by mutual agreement between the parties, and said sum
was not intended to be a penalty in nature.
C. The parties acknowledge that the remedies described herein and in the other
provisions of this Agreement provide mutually satisfactory and sufficient remedies
to each of the parties, and take into account the peculiar risks and expenses of
each of the parties.
