ARTICLE VII — PURCHASER’S CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

Purchaser shall not be required to purchase the Property unless the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:

A. The physical condition of the Property shall be substantially the same on the Closing Date as on the date of full execution hereof, normal wear and tear excepted.

B. As of the Closing Date there shall be no administrative agency action, litigation or other governmental proceeding of any kind pending or threatened against the Seller or the Property which after the Closing would materially, adversely affect the value of the Property.

ARTICLE VIII — EMINENT DOMAIN

A. If, prior to the Closing Date, all of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain or same is pending, this Agreement shall terminate as of the day title to the Property or possession thereof vests in the condemning authority, the Deposit shall be returned by Seller to Purchaser, and upon such return this Agreement shall terminate and be null and void and of no further force or effect and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights, remedies, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other hereunder. If, prior to the Closing Date, there shall be any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings instituted or pending against less than all of the Property, and same would interfere with Purchaser’s ability to develop the Property for Purchaser’s intended use, then Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller within three (3) days after Purchaser has received notice from Seller of such proceedings. Upon such notice to Seller the Deposit shall immediately be returned to Purchaser by Seller, and upon such return this Agreement shall terminate and be null and void and of no further force or effect and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights, remedies, duties or obligations to the other hereunder. Failure of the Purchaser to so notify Seller within said three (3) days that Purchaser has elected to terminate this Agreement shall be deemed to mean that Purchaser has elected not to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser does not so elect to terminate this Agreement, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein without abatement of the Purchase Price, and there shall be assigned to the Purchaser at the Closing, all interest of the Seller in and to any condemnation awards which may be payable to the Seller on account of such occurrence.

A. Seller has all requisite power and authority to execute this Agreement, the closing documents listed in Article III hereof, and any other documents required to be delivered by the Seller.

B. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, the conveyance of the Property to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement will not be a violation by Seller of any applicable statute, ordinance, governmental restriction, or regulation, or any private restriction or agreement.

C. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, as of the date of full execution hereof, there is no administrative agency action, litigation or other governmental proceeding of any kind pending or threatened against the Seller or the Property which after the Closing would materially, adversely affect the value of the Property.

D. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, no special assessments of any kind (special, bond or otherwise) are levied against the Property which are outstanding and unpaid.

E. Seller has no knowledge of any pending or contemplated condemnation proceedings affecting the Property or any part thereof. Seller will not sell, assign or convey any right, title or interest whatever in or to the Property or create or permit to exist any lien, encumbrance, or charge thereon without promptly discharging the same, except as otherwise expressly provided for herein.

F. Seller will not willfully take any action, or willfully omit to take any action, which action or omission would have the effect of violating any of its representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein.

Seller’s warranties and representations contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing and shall be merged into the Deed and other documents to be executed and delivered in connection with the transaction contemplated herein.

ARTICLE X — DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

A. In the event that the transaction contemplated herein is not closed and consummated because of Purchaser’s failure or breach to perform its obligations hereunder, Seller shall retain the Deposit as agreed-upon liquidated damages and not a penalty, it being otherwise difficult or impossible to estimate Seller’s actual damages, and which liquidated damages shall be in lieu of any other damages or the right to specific performance, and, upon such event, this Agreement shall terminate and be null and void and of no further force or effect, and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights, remedies, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other hereunder. Seller hereby waives any right to specific performance, injunctive relief or any other relief to cause Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and Seller hereby waives any right to damages in excess of said liquidated damages occasioned by Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that it is impossible to estimate the actual damages Seller would suffer from Purchaser’s breach hereof, but that the liquidated damages provided herein represent a reasonable pre-estimate of such damages and Seller and Purchaser therefor intend to provide for liquidated damages as herein specified, and that the agreed-upon liquidated damages are not punitive or penalties and are just, fair and reasonable, all in accordance with O.C.G.A. § 13-6-7.

B. In the event that the transaction contemplated herein is not closed and consummated because of Seller’s failure or breach to perform its obligations hereunder or because of a breach by Seller of any of the representations and warranties made herein by Seller, Purchaser shall have the right only (i) to terminate this Agreement by giving notice thereof to Seller, and upon receipt of such notice Seller shall return the Deposit to Purchaser and thereafter this Agreement shall terminate and be null and void and of no further force or effect, and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights, remedies, duties, liabilities or obligations to the others hereunder, or (ii) to ▇▇▇ Seller for specific performance of its obligations under this Agreement; which remedies specified in (i) and (ii) shall be in lieu of any other rights or remedies for Purchaser, including, without limitation, any right or claim for damages. If Purchaser consummates the transaction contemplated in this Agreement it shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any breach by Seller of any covenant, representation or warranty under this Agreement (but not under any of the documents executed at Closing which shall continue in accordance with their terms) which the Purchaser knew existed prior to the Closing.
