{37258994;27}{Akerman Execution Version- April 13, 2016}



(a)        All of Seller’s severed oil, gas and mineral rights estate interests (including but not limited to all full or fractional mineral estate interests, royalty interests, entry and exploration rights or similar rights) located in the Applicable Counties including but not limited to those more particularly described on (and a copy of the applicable warranty deed into Seller for each of the Applicable Counties listed on) Schedule A-1 through and including Schedule A-20 (collectively the “Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests”). It is the intent of the Parties that Buyer will acquire and Seller will grant to Buyer all of Seller’s Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests in the Applicable Counties whether or not listed or properly described in these schedules. The Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests conveyed shall be subject to, and Buyer shall be obligated to honor:

 

(i)      the 1/32 oil, gas and other minerals royalty, and the sulphur royalty obligations under that certain granting instrument in favor of G.

(b)        Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all oil, gas and mineral rights leases, pooling rights, division orders and other agreements under which or related to which Seller, or its predecessor in title CONSOLIDATED-TOMOKA LAND CO., a Florida corporation (“Consolidated- Tomoka”), leases or licenses to third parties all or a portion of Seller’s Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests in the Applicable Counties including but not limited to those more fully described as Schedule B-1, Schedule B-2, and Schedule B-3 attached hereto (collectively the “Oil, Gas and Mineral Leases”).

 

(c)        In  the  event  Buyer  establishes  to  Seller’s  reasonable  satisfaction  that  a Consolidated-Tomoka (or its predecessor by merger) holds title to severed oil, gas and mineral rights estate interests (including but not limited to all full or fractional mineral estate interests, royalty interests, entry and exploration rights or similar rights) located in the Applicable Counties but that such interest was not conveyed to Seller by the Warranty Deeds listed on Schedules A-1 through A-20, Seller will use its best good faith efforts prior to Closing to obtain a conveyance of the same from Consolidated-Tomoka to Seller. Seller shall then convey the same to Buyer consistent with the form of documentation called for in this Agreement with respect to such similar Seller assets to be conveyed herein, it being the intent of the

A true, correct and complete copy of the Oil, Gas and Mineral Leases and all amendments thereto and assignments thereof, as they exist in Seller’s corporate records, shall be delivered to Buyer upon execution of this Agreement. The Oil, Gas and Mineral Leases are in full force and effect. Seller discloses to Buyer and Buyer acknowledges that the Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests are inherently subject to disputes and claims from third parties from time to time as to the nature, quality, validity or superiority of the title of the holder of similar mineral estates, royalty and other mineral interests such as Seller’s interests in the Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests, and Seller makes no assurance to Buyer that the Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests will not be subject to any such disputes and claims from time to time. Seller has not sent a notice of default to any person or entity arising under the Oil, Gas and Mineral Leases that has not been cured or waived except as set forth in Schedule C.

The Oil, Gas and Mineral Leases are in full force and effect. To Seller’s knowledge, there are no suspended funds held for the account of Seller or any other person claiming an interest contrary to Seller for rentals, royalties, shut-in royalties, overriding royalties, compensatory royalties and other payments with respect to the Assets to be Acquired.

 

5{37258994;27}{Akerman Execution Version- April 13, 2016}



5.9         Title. Seller is the owner of the Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests, provided Seller, other than its special warranty of title and the representations and warranties specifically set forth in this Agreement, makes no other warranty as to the specific nature or quality of Seller’s interests in the Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests, and Seller discloses to Buyer and Buyer acknowledges that the Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests are inherently subject to disputes and claims from third parties from time to time as to the nature, quality, validity or superiority of the title of the holder of similar mineral estates, royalty and other mineral interests such as Seller’s interests in the Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests, and Seller makes no assurance to Buyer that the Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests will not be subject to any such disputes and claims from time to time. Subject to the foregoing limitations (and the limitations thereon provided above) and subject to the Permitted Exceptions (as defined in Section 19.1(c) below), the Assets to be Acquired, are free and clear of all liens, other than Permitted Liens. For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Liens” means: (a) statutory liens for taxes not yet due and payable; and (b) liens that will be paid off and released in full prior to or at Closing, however, to Seller’s knowledge the Assets to be conveyed are not subject to any liens in this subsection (b). For avoidance of doubt, should any liens be found to exist under subparagraph (b), such liens shall be paid off and/or released so as not to constitute a lien on title of the Assets to be Acquired as of the Closing Date. There are no outstanding options or commitments to which Seller is a party which relate to the sale by Seller of the Assets to be Acquired by Buyer. The Assets to be Acquired constitute all assets owned, leased, or controlled by Seller and any of its affiliates, located at or used in connection with, and material to, the operation of the Assets to be Acquired.

 

5.10       Preferential Rights. The sale of the Assets to be Acquired is not subject to any option or right of first refusal, in favor of a third person or any affiliate of Seller.

 

5.11       No  bankruptcy  or  insolvency.  Seller  has  not  filed  for  bankruptcy,  reorganization, receivership, protection or arrangement proceedings pending against Seller. Seller is not entering into this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud creditors.

 

5.12       Judgments and Proceedings. To Seller’s knowledge, there are no outstanding judgments against Seller, or against or affecting any of the Assets to be Acquired, except for certain quiet title actions filed against Consolidated-Tomoka for which Seller will provide to Buyer copies of any relevant correspondence and pleadings, if any, that is in Seller’s possession within ten (10) Business Days of the Effective Date. To the extent that any outstanding judgments exist, the same shall be paid off in full from the proceeds paid at Closing. Seller may bond over such judgments, subject to Buyer’s consent as to the terms and conditions thereof, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or denied. No condemnation, eminent domain or similar proceedings are pending or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened in writing with regard to the Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests. Seller has not received any notice of any pending or threatened governmental liens, special assessments, impositions or increases in assessed valuations to be made against the Assets to be Acquired.

 

5.13       Licenses and Permits. To Seller’s knowledge, without independent investigation, there are  no  licenses  and  permits  in  the  name  of  Seller  required  for  the  operation  of  Seller’s  business concerning the Assets to be Acquired although Seller believes that licenses and permits may have been obtained or be required to be obtained by tenants or others pertaining to the operations of those third parties.

 

5.14       Consents. To Seller’s knowledge, without investigation, there are no consents required for Seller to sell the Assets to be Acquired pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 19

BUYER INSPECTION AND BUYER INDEMNITY AND AS IS WHERE IS SALE DISCLOSURE

 

19.1Buyer Inspection.

 

(a)        Buyer shall have the right to access the data room at any time prior to Closing, barring mechanical, technical or other shutdown beyond Seller’s reasonable control. Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to Seller (which may be email), at times that are mutually convenient to Buyer and Seller during regular business hours, Buyer shall have access at Seller’s business office to Seller’s books and records regarding the Assets to be Acquired and the lands subject to the Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests during the period commencing on the Inspection Period Commencement Date (as defined below) and terminating at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date which is one  hundred  and  fifty  (150)  days  from  the  Inspection  Period  Commencement  Date  (the  “Initial Inspection Period”), unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, for the purpose of conducting its inspections and analyses of the Assets to be Acquired including, without limitation, all engineering and other examinations, zoning confirmations, financial review and other due diligence activities, as well as obtaining a Phase I Environmental Report with respect to the lands subject to the Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests; provided, however, at Seller’s option, a representative of Seller chosen by Seller shall accompany Buyer, its consultants and agents, and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to make such representative available upon reasonable prior notice. Buyer shall have the right to provide a Notice of Extension of Inspection Period to Seller (“Extension of Inspection Period Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Initial Inspection Period and extend the Inspection Period for an additional thirty (30) days from the last day of the Initial Inspection Period (the “Extended  Inspection  Period”),  provided  Buyer  simultaneously  furnished  to  Escrow  Agent  the Extension Payment as set forth in Section 4.2(a). During the Initial Inspection Period or the Extended Inspection Period, if any (collectively, the “Inspection Period”), Buyer shall not be entitled to do any invasive testing during the Inspection Period, including but not limited to a Phase II Environmental Report, without Seller’s prior written consent, such Seller’s consent to be given or withheld in Seller’s sole, reasonable discretion. During the Inspection Period, Buyer shall also have the right to review and inspect at Seller’s business office copies of all financial statements, reports, leases, surveys, and other documents and information regarding operations and ownership of the Assets to be Acquired (excluding Seller’s attorney client communications or work product). Buyer shall keep the results of such inspections confidential  and  shall  not  disclose  such  results  except  Buyer’s  counsel,  employees,  contractors, consultants, accountants, title companies, lenders, Buyer’s Advisors/Brokers and financial advisors, who are advised of the confidential nature of this transaction and their obligation to maintain prior to Closing the same standard of confidentiality as Buyer. The term “Inspection Period Commencement Date” shall mean the Effective Date of this Agreement.

 

(b)        Buyer shall have the right to order from its agents, contractors, counsel or from third party abstractors or landmen a report or reports as to the condition of the title pertaining to the Assets to be Acquired (collectively, the “Title Report” whether one or more), or, if so desired by Buyer, a preliminary  ALTA  (2006  form,  as  adopted  in  Florida)  owner’s  title  insurance  commitment  or commitments covering the Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests in an amount of the

 

19{37258994;27}{Akerman Execution Version- April 13, 2016}



Purchase Price and subject to the Permitted Exceptions and other exceptions to or exclusions from coverage, and setting forth the Schedule A information as to title, descriptions, proposed insured interests and other matters, setting forth on Schedule B-1 the requirements and setting forth on Schedule B-2 the proposed exceptions as applicable (collectively the “Title Commitment” whether one or more). The Title Report and the Title Commitment, if ordered, shall include legible copies of any and all instruments referred to in the Title Report or the Title Commitment as constituting exceptions to or requirements pertaining to the title of the Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests or other Assets to be Acquired (the “Title Documents”), and if ordered, Buyer shall deliver a copy of the Title Report, Title Commitment, and the Title Documents to Seller promptly upon receipt. All costs and expenses for such Title Report and Title Commitment, including but not limited to any search costs, any premium costs, and any policy and coverage costs, including but not limited to any endorsement costs, issued in connection therewith shall be paid by Buyer and it shall be Buyer’s obligation to obtain any such desired Title Report or Title Commitment.

 

(c)        On  or  before  twenty-one  (21)  Business  Days  prior  to  the  expiration  of  the Inspection Period, Buyer shall notify Seller (“Buyer’s Title Notice”) of any objections with copies of relevant documents (other than Permitted Exceptions described in clauses (D) or (G) of the definition of Permitted Exceptions below) which Buyer may have to the Title Report or Title Commitment. If Buyer objects to any matters listed on the Title Report or Title Commitment (other than Permitted Exceptions described in clauses (D) or (G) of the definition of Permitted Exceptions below), Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, cure the same, except that Seller shall obtain the release (at Closing) of any existing mortgage and other monetary liens caused by Seller or otherwise of record affecting the title which may be released by payment of money from Seller’s Closing proceeds (collectively, “Monetary Liens”). If Seller delivers written notice to Buyer (“Seller’s Title Notice”) on or before two (2) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period (including during any Extended Inspection Period) that Seller is willing to remove any exceptions objected to by Buyer, then Seller shall be obligated to remove such exceptions on or prior to the Closing and such exceptions shall not be objections to title. If Seller does not provide Buyer with Seller’s Title Notice or Seller’s Title Notice does not provide for Seller’s agreement to remove all exceptions properly objected to by Buyer, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period or waive Buyer’s objection to any exceptions Seller has not agreed to remove with such exceptions becoming Permitted Exceptions. The term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean (A) liens for real estate taxes, assessments and similar charges not yet due and payable; (B) laws applicable to the Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests or other title to the Assets to be Acquired; (C) any matters consented to in writing by Buyer; (D) easements, rights of way, servitudes, permits, restrictions and other matters of record unless timely objected to by Buyer during the Buyer’s title  review  period  provided  for  herein;  (E) the  standard  printed  exceptions  included  in  the  Title Commitment (if ordered) provided those that may be deleted by affidavit of the Seller will be presumed to be deleted at Closing if such Title Commitment is obtained by Buyer and a title policy is issued at Closing; (F) liens or encumbrances caused by the actions of, or on behalf of, Buyer but not those caused by the actions of Seller; (G) any matter appearing in the Title Report or the Title Commitment (if ordered) or in the Surveys (if ordered) to which Buyer does not timely object, or to which Buyer waives, pursuant to this Section 19.1(c); (H) Permitted Liens provided that Seller provides Escrow Agent with appropriate documents to terminate such liens at the Closing other than taxes not due and payable and with such taxes to be prorated; and (I) those matters, if any, identified as Additional Permitted Exceptions on the attached Schedule D, if any (the “Additional Permitted Exceptions,” which together with the Permitted Exceptions listed above shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Permitted Exceptions”).

 

(d)        Buyer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement for any reason (or no reason) whatsoever by giving written notice thereof to Seller on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period. In the event that Buyer exercises its right to terminate this Agreement in a timely manner in accordance with Section 12.1(b) of this Agreement during the term of the Inspection Period,

 

20{37258994;27}{Akerman Execution Version- April 13, 2016}



then Buyer shall promptly return to Seller all copies of surveys, environmental reports, inspection reports, data, and other work product provided by Seller to Buyer or obtained by Buyer with respect to Buyer’s due diligence review of the Assets to be Acquired without any representation or warranty of any kind. If Buyer elects to proceed with the transaction called for in this Agreement, then prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period Buyer shall deliver to Seller written notice notifying Seller that Buyer elects to proceed with transaction called for in this Agreement (the “Go Forward Notice”). In the event Buyer neither terminates this Agreement nor provides a Go Forward Notice prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have delivered a Go Forward Notice as of the last day of the Inspection Period.

 

(e)        Buyer and its agents and representatives shall not permit any liens to attach to the Mineral Estates, Royalty and Other Mineral Interests solely and directly by reason of the exercise of its rights hereunder, and shall restore the same to substantially the same condition in which the same were found before any of its inspections or tests were undertaken.

 

19.2       Buyer  Indemnity.  BUYER  SHALL INDEMNIFY,  DEFEND AND  HOLD  SELLER, SELLER’S AFFILIATES, PARTNERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, SHAREHOLDERS, INVESTMENT MANAGERS, TRUSTEES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS (INCLUDING ANY MANAGEMENT COMPANY) OF EACH OF THEM AND THEIR RESPECTIVE HEIRS, SUCCESSORS, PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES AND ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY, “SELLER PARTIES”) AND THE ASSETS TO BE ACQUIRED HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, CLAIMS, LIENS, COSTS OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY ENTRY ON THE ASSETS TO BE ACQUIRED BY BUYER OR BUYER’S AGENTS IN THE COURSE OF PERFORMING THE INSPECTIONS, TESTING OR INQUIRIES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGE TO THE ASSETS TO BE ACQUIRED OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES OR MATERIALS ONTO THE ASSETS TO BE ACQUIRED BY REASON OF BUYER OR ITS AGENTS’ ACTIONS. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF SELLER OR FOR THE MERE DISCOVERY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS.

 

The provisions of this Section 19.2 shall survive for six (6) years following the Closing and delivery  of  the  conveyance  documents,  and  shall  not  be  deemed  merged  into  any  of  the  Closing documents.

 

19.3       AS-IS WHERE IS SALE DISCLOSURE. THE FOLLOWING SECTION 19.3 SHALL SURVIVE CLOSING AND DELIVERY OF THE DEED OF CONVEYANCE:

 

(a)        Buyer  acknowledges  and  agrees,  by  consummating  the  Closing,  it  will  be deemed to have been given a full opportunity to inspect and investigate each and every aspect of the Assets to be Acquired, either independently or through agents of Buyer’s choosing.
