OPTION AGREEMENT FOR SALE AND PURCHASE
THIS AGREEMENT is made this 31st day of January, 1997, between Sugarmill
Xxxxx, Inc., a Florida corporation, and LOVE-PGI Partners, L.P., a Missouri
limited partnership whose address is 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xx. Xxxxx,
XX 00000-0000, collectively referred to as "Seller" and The Nature
Conservancy, a non-profit District of Columbia corporation, qualified as
a public charity pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and authorized to transact business in
the State of Florida as The Nature Conservancy, Inc., whose address is
000 X. Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, and its
successors and assigns as "Purchaser."
1. GRANT OF OPTION. Seller hereby grants to Purchaser and its
---------------
successors and assigns the exclusive option to purchase the real property
located in Citrus and Hernando counties, Florida, described in Exhibit "A",
together with all improvements, easements and appurtenances and riparian and
littoral rights, if any (the "Property"), in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement. The legal description of the Property described in
Exhibit "A" may be modified prior to closing to match the final DSL-approved
legal description of the Property. This Agreement becomes legally binding on
Seller upon Seller's execution of the Agreement, but exercise of the option
is subject to approval by the Board of Governors of the Purchaser and/or by
the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of
Florida (the "Trustees"), whose address is Florida Department of Environmental
Protection, Division of State Lands, 0000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxxx Xxxxxxx 000,
Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, if this option is assigned to the Trustees, and
is effective only if Purchaser gives written notice of exercise to Seller.
If this option is assigned to the Trustees, the Trustees' agent in all matters
shall be the Division of State Lands of the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection ("DSL").
2. OPTION TERMS. The option payment is $100.00 ("Option Payment"), the
------------
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by Seller. The option
may be exercised during the period beginning with Purchaser's approval of this
Agreement and ending 120 days after Trustees' approval of this Agreement
("Option Expiration Date"), unless extended by other provisions of this
Agreement, if this Agreement is assigned to the Trustees. If this Agreement
is not approved by the Trustees on or before May 28, 1997, or if the
Agreement is not assigned to the Trustees, then the Option Expiration Date
shall be May 28, 1997, unless extended by other provisions of this Agreement.
In the event Purchaser's funds in the amount of the Purchase Price (as
hereinafter defined in paragraph 3.A.) are not available by the Option
Expiration Date the period of exercise of the option may be extended until
such funds become available, not to exceed 60 days after the Option Expiration
Date, by written notice to Seller.
3.A. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price ("Purchase Price") for the
--------------
Property is Fourteen Million Seven Hundred Fifty-Nine Thousand Three Hundred
Thirty-Five Dollars ($14,759,335.00) which, after reduction by the amount of
the Option Payment, will be paid in cash (or, if this option is assigned to
the Trustees in accordance with paragraph 20., by state warrant) at closing to
Seller or Seller's designated agent who meets the requirements of Section
259.041(17), Florida Statutes. The Purchase Price is subject to adjustment
in accordance with paragraph 3.B. This Agreement is contingent upon approval
of the Purchase Price by Purchaser and upon confirmation that the final
Purchase Price is not in excess of the maximum value of the Property as
determined in accordance with Section 259.041(7), Florida Statutes ("DSL
Approved Value"). The determination of the final DSL Approved Value and the
final Purchase Price can only be made after the completion and DSL's approval
of the survey required in paragraph 5.
3.B. ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price set out in paragraph
----------------------------
3.A. above is based on $2,816.43 per acre ("Acre Price") for an estimated
5,240.45 unsurveyed acres ("Acres"). For purposes of this Agreement, Acres
shall mean those lands located within the boundary of the final DSL approved
survey required
Page 1
2
by paragraph 5. hereof. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted and the final
Purchase Price shall be obtained by multiplying the lower of the Acre Price or
the final DSL approved maximum value per Acre permitted to be paid under
Section 259.041(7), Florida Statutes ("Final DSL Approved Acre Value"), by
the surveyed Acreage shown on the final DSL approved survey required by
paragraph 5. hereof. The Acre Price as set forth above in this paragraph 3.B.
will not decrease unless the Acre Price is in excess of the Final DSL
Approved Acre Value. If it is determined by DSL that the Acre Price is in
excess of the Final DSL Approved Acre Value, the Acre Price will be reduced
to the Final DSL Approved Acre Value. If the Final Adjusted Purchase Price is
decreased by more than $100,000.00 because of a reduction in the Acre Price,
Seller shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to terminate this
Agreement and neither party shall have any further obligations under this
Agreement. If Seller elects to terminate this Agreement, Seller shall
provide written notice to Purchaser of his election to terminate this
Agreement within 10 days after Seller's receipt of written notice from
Purchaser of the final adjusted Purchase Price. In the event Seller fails to
give Purchaser a written notice of termination within the aforesaid time
period from receipt of Purchaser's written notice, then Seller shall be
deemed to have waived any right to terminate this Agreement based upon a
reduction in the Purchase Price originally stated in paragraph 3.A. The Seller
acknowledges that the Acre Price and the estimated number of Acres may vary
substantially from the Final DSL Approved Acre Value and the surveyed Acres
as shown on the final DSL approved survey required by paragraph 5. hereof.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the final adjusted
Purchase Price shall not exceed $14,759,335.00; even though this amount may
be less than the final DSL Approved Value of the Property.
4.A. ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT. Seller shall, at his sole cost and
-----------------------------
expense and at least 15 days prior to the Option Expiration Date, furnish to
Purchaser a Phase I environmental site assessment of the Property, and, if
recommended in the Phase I environmental site assessment, a Phase II
environmental site assessment both of which meet the standards and
requirements of Purchaser. However, should the cost of the Phase II
environmental site assessment exceed $20,000, Seller may elect to terminate
this Agreement and neither party shall have any further obligations under this
Agreement. It is Seller's responsibility to ensure that the environmental
consultant contacts Purchaser regarding these standards and requirements.
Seller shall use the services of a competent, professional consultant with
expertise in the environmental site assessment process to determine the
existence and extent, if any, of Hazardous Materials on the Property. For
purposes of this Agreement "Hazardous Materials" shall mean any hazardous
or toxic substance, material or waste of any kind or any other substance
which is regulated by any Environmental Law (as hereinafter defined in
paragraph 4.B.). The environmental site assessment shall be certified to
Purchaser and the date of certification shall be within 45 days before the
date of closing, unless this 45 day time period is waived by DSL.
4.B. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. In the event that the environmental site
-------------------
assessment provided for in paragraph 4.A. confirms the presence of Hazardous
Materials on the Property, Purchaser, at its sole option, may elect to
terminate this Agreement and neither party shall have any further obligations
under this Agreement. Should Purchaser elect not to terminate this Agreement,
Seller shall, at his sole cost and expense and prior to the exercise of the
option and closing, promptly commence and diligently pursue any assessment,
clean up and monitoring of the Property necessary to bring the Property into
full compliance with any and all applicable federal, state or local laws,
statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations or other governmental restrictions
regulating, relating to, or imposing liability or standards of conduct
concerning Hazardous Materials ("Environmental Law"). However, should the
estimated cost of clean up of Hazardous Materials exceed $100,000, Seller
may elect to terminate this Agreement and neither party shall have any further
obligations under this Agreement. In the event that Hazardous Materials placed
on the Property prior to closing are discovered after closing, Seller shall
remain obligated hereunder, with such obligation to survive the closing and
delivery and recording of the deed described in paragraph 8. of this Agreement
and Purchaser's possession of the Property, to diligently pursue and
accomplish the clean up of Hazardous Materials in a manner consistent with
all applicable Environmental Laws and at Seller's sole cost and expense.
Page 2

Further, in the event that neither party elects to terminate this Agreement
as provided above, Seller shall indemnify and save harmless and defend
Purchaser, its officers, servants, agents and employees from and against any
and all claims, suits, actions, damages, liabilities, expenditures or causes
of action of whatsoever kind arising from Hazardous Materials placed on the
Property prior to closing whether the Hazardous Materials are discovered prior
to or after closing. Seller shall defend, at his sole cost and expense, any
legal action, claim or proceeding instituted by any person against Purchaser
as a result of any claim, suit, or cause of action for injuries to body,
life, limb or property for which Hazardous Materials placed on the Property
prior to closing are alleged to be a contributing legal cause. Seller shall
save Purchaser harmless from and against all judgments, orders, decrees,
attorney's fees, costs, expenses and liabilities in and about any such claim,
suit, investigation or defense thereof, which may be entered, incurred or
assessed as a result of the foregoing.
The contractual limitation on Seller's contractual obligation to indemnify
Purchaser and clean up the Property as specified in this paragraph 4.B. shall
not be construed to limit Seller's legal liability under any Environmental Law
for Hazardous Materials located on the Property or to limit Purchaser's legal
and equitable remedies against Seller under any Environmental Laws for
Hazardous Materials located on the Property.
5. SURVEY. Seller shall, at his sole cost and expense and not less than
------
30 days prior to the Option Expiration Date, deliver to DSL a current boundary
survey of the Property prepared by a professional surveyor and mapper licensed
by the State of Florida which meets the standards and requirements of DSL
("Survey"). It is Seller's responsibility to ensure that the surveyor and
mapper contacts the Bureau of Survey and Mapping in DSL regarding these
standards and requirements and the cost of the Survey prior to the commencement
of the Survey. The Survey shall be certified to Purchaser and the title
insurer and the date of certification shall be within 90 days before the date
of closing, unless this 90 day time period is waived by DSL and by the title
insurer for purposes of deleting the standard exceptions for survey matters
and easements or claims of easements not shown by the public records from
the owner's title policy. If the Survey shows any encroachment on the
Property or that improvements intended to be located on the Property encroach
on the land of others, the same shall be treated as a title defect. Seller's
vesting deed legal description has been reviewed without the benefit of a
field survey or comprehensive title research. The legal description of the
Property described in Exhibit "A" may be modified prior to closing to match
the final DSL-approved legal description of the Property. Purchaser shall
reimburse Seller for 50% of the DSL approved cost of Survey, not to exceed
$29,985.00, upon Seller's submission of the necessary documentation to DSL
which evidences payment in full of the Survey costs by Seller. This
reimbursement is contingent upon a sale of the Property to Purchaser.
6. TITLE INSURANCE. Seller shall, at his sole cost and expense and
---------------
within 45 days of Purchaser's approval of this contract, furnish to Purchaser
a marketable title insurance commitment, to be followed by an owner's
marketable title insurance policy (ALTA Form "B") from a title insurance
company, approved by Purchaser, insuring marketable title of Purchaser to
the Property in the amount of the final Purchase Price. Seller shall require
that the title insurer delete the standard exceptions of such policy referring
to: (a) all taxes, (b) unrecorded rights or claims of parties in possession,
(c) survey matters, (d) unrecorded easements or claims of easements, and
(e) unrecorded mechanics' liens.
7. DEFECTS IN TITLE. If the title insurance commitment or Survey
----------------
furnished to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement discloses any defects in
title which are not acceptable to Purchaser, Seller shall, within 90 days
after notice from Purchaser, remove said defects in title. Seller agrees to
use diligent effort to correct the defects in title within the time provided
therefor, including the bringing of necessary suits, but in no event shall
Seller be obligated to spend more than $100,000 to cure or remove such
defects. However, should the cost to cure or remove such defects in title
exceed $100,000, Seller may elect to terminate this Agreement and neither
party shall have any further obligations under this Agreement. If Seller is
unsuccessful in removing the title defects within said time Purchaser shall
have the option to either: (a) accept the title as it then is with a
reduction in the Purchase Price by an amount mutually agreed
Page 3
4
to by the parties, (b) accept the title as it then is with no reduction in the
Purchase Price, (c) extend the amount of time that Seller has to cure the
defects in title, or (d) terminate this Agreement, thereupon releasing
Purchaser and Seller from all further obligations under this Agreement. If
Seller fails to make a diligent effort to remove the title defects, Seller
shall be in default and the provisions of paragraph 17. of this Agreement
shall apply.
8. INTEREST CONVEYED. At closing, Seller shall execute and deliver to
-----------------
Purchaser a special warranty deed in a form acceptable to Purchaser, conveying
marketable title to the Property in fee simple free and clear of all liens,
reservations, restrictions, easements, leases, tenancies and other
encumbrances, except for those that are acceptable encumbrances, pursuant to
Paragraph 7, in the opinion of Purchaser and do not impair the marketability
of the title to the Property.
9. PREPARATION OF CLOSING DOCUMENTS. Upon execution of this Agreement,
--------------------------------
Seller shall submit to Purchaser a properly completed and executed beneficial
interest affidavit and disclosure statement as required by Sections 286.23,
375.031(1) and 380.08(2), Florida Statutes, on DSL forms provided by
Purchaser. Seller shall prepare the deed described in paragraph 8. of this
Agreement, Purchaser's and Seller's closing statements and the title,
possession and lien affidavit certified to Purchaser and title insurer in
accordance with Section 627.7842, Florida Statutes, and an environmental
affidavit on DSL forms provided by Purchaser. All prepared documents shall be
submitted to Purchaser for review and approval at least 15 days prior to the
Option Expiration Date.
10. PURCHASER'S REVIEW FOR CLOSING. Purchaser will approve or reject each
------------------------------
item required to be provided by Seller under this Agreement within 30 days
after receipt of all of the required items. Seller will have 30 days thereafter
to cure and resubmit any rejected item. In the event Seller fails to timely
deliver any item, or Purchaser rejects any item after delivery, Purchaser may
in its discretion extend the Option Expiration Date.
11. EXPENSES. Seller will pay the documentary revenue stamp tax and all
--------
other taxes associated with the conveyance, the cost of recording the deed
described in paragraph 8. of this Agreement and any other recordable
instruments which Purchaser deems necessary to assure good and marketable
title to the Property. All other closing expenses, including without
limitation, attorney's fees shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses.
12. TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS. If this option is not assigned to the
---------------------
Trustees, all real estate taxes and assessments which are or which may become
a lien against the Property shall be prorated between the parties to the date
of closing. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if this
option is assigned to the Trustees, all real estate taxes and assessments
which are or which may become a lien against the Property shall be satisfied
of record by Seller at closing. If this option is assigned to the Trustees,
and the Trustees acquire fee title to the Property between January 1 and
November 1, Seller shall, in accordance with Section 196.295, Florida Statutes,
place in escrow with the county tax collector an amount equal to the current
taxes prorated to the date of transfer, based upon the current assessment and
millage rates on the Property. In the event the Trustees acquire fee title to
the Property on or after November 1, Seller shall pay to the county tax
collector an amount equal to the taxes that are determined to be legally due
and payable by the county tax collector.
13. CLOSING PLACE AND DATE. The closing shall be on or before 15 days
----------------------
after Purchaser exercises the option; provided, however, that if a defect
exists in the title to the Property, title commitment, Survey, environmental
site assessment, or any other documents required to be provided or completed
and executed by Seller, the closing shall occur either on the original closing
date or within 60 days after receipt of documentation curing the defects,
whichever is later. The date, time and place of closing shall be set by
Purchaser.
14. RISK OF LOSS AND CONDITION OF REAL PROPERTY. Seller assumes all risk
-------------------------------------------
of loss or damage to the Property prior to the date of closing and warrants
that the Property shall be transferred and conveyed to Purchaser in the same
or essentially the same condition as of the date of Seller's execution of this
Agreement, ordinary wear and tear and acts of God or other natural forces
Page 4
5
excepted. However, in the event the condition of the Property is altered by an
act of God or other natural force beyond the control of Seller, Purchaser may
elect, at its sole option, to terminate this Agreement and neither party shall
have any further obligations under this Agreement. Seller represents and
warrants that, as of closing, there are no parties other than Seller in
occupancy or possession of any part of the Property. Seller agrees to clean
up and remove all abandoned personal property, refuse, garbage, junk, rubbish,
trash and debris from the Property to the satisfaction of Purchaser prior to
the exercise of the option by Purchaser.
15. RIGHT TO ENTER PROPERTY AND POSSESSION. Seller agrees that from the
--------------------------------------
date this Agreement is executed by Seller, Purchaser and its agents, upon
reasonable notice, shall have the right to enter the Property for all lawful
purposes in connection with this Agreement, subject to the rights, privileges,

16. ACCESS. Seller warrants that there is legal ingress and egress for
------
the Property over public roads or valid, recorded easements for the use and
benefit of and as an appurtenance to the Property.
17. DEFAULT. If Seller defaults under this Agreement, Purchaser may waive
-------
the default and proceed to closing, seek specific performance, or refuse to
close and elect to receive the return of any money paid, each without waiving
any action for damages, or any other remedy permitted by law or in equity
resulting from Seller's default.
18. BROKERS. Each party represents that no persons, firms, corporations
-------
or other entities are entitled to a real estate commission or other fees as a
result of this Agreement or subsequent closing, except as accurately disclosed
on the disclosure statement required in paragraph 9. Seller shall indemnify
and hold Purchaser harmless from any and all such claims, whether disclosed
or undisclosed.

----------
Trustees, in which event Purchaser will provide written notice of assignment

------------
are deemed to be unenforceable, the enforceability of the remaining provisions
of this Agreement shall not be affected.
23. SUCCESSORS IN INTEREST. Upon Seller's execution of this Agreement,

prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations and understandings of the
parties. No supplement, modification or amendment to this Agreement shall be
binding unless executed in writing by the parties.
25. WAIVER. Failure of either party to insist upon strict performance
------
of any covenant or condition of this Agreement, or to exercise any right
herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for
the future of any such covenant, condition or right; but the same shall remain
in full force and effect.

-------------------
or alteration thereto, shall not be effective or binding upon any of the
