Purchase Agreement


On July 16, 2010, the Company entered a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement") with Sonoran Trails, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company ("Sonoran") for the purchase of approximately 100 acres of land located in Maricopa County, Arizona, which will be a portion of Assessor's Tax Parcel Numbers 401-74-006K and 401-74-006M (the "Property"), for an aggregate consideration of $850,000.


The Company has tendered a $20,000 earnest money deposit (the “Deposit”), which allows the Company time to enter upon the property to make inspections, studies, surveys, and tests prior to the closing of the sale upon the terms and conditions mentioned in the Purchase Agreement. The Deposit is refundable to the Company until August 12, 2010, during such period the Company shall determine whether the Property is suitable for purchase with respect to all matters and complete certain closing conditions (the “Feasibility Period”),


During the Feasibility Period, the Company shall prepare, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, an ALTA survey of the Property prepared by a qualified surveyor (the “Survey”) which shall establish: (i) the legal description and depiction of the Property; (ii) the gross acres of the real property, (iii) the legal description and depiction of mutually acceptable easements for ingress, egress, and access to utilities, to be reserved for the benefit of the remainder of parcels and other land owned by Sonoran, and (iv) the legal description and depiction of mutually acceptable easements for ingress, egress, and access to utilities, to be granted to the Company for the benefit of the Property.

Sonoran shall deliver the following to the Company: (i) a copy of the respective pages of any existing surveys in Sonoran’s possession; (ii) documentation concerning water rights respective to the Property; (iii) any environmental or archaeological survey or report in Sonoran’s possession; (iv) any agreements whatsoever that are binding upon the Property, including any conditions, restrictions, and covenants recorded in Maricopa County records office; and (v) any additional due diligence materials the Company may request from Sonoran, which are in Sonoran’s possession.


 

The closing of the transaction shall occur on or before September 10, 2010 (the “Closing Date”), so long as the Company determines during the Feasibility Period that the Property is suitable for purchase, and all closing conditions and obligations have been met by both parties, including the Company’s deposit of the remainder of the aggregate purchase price with the escrow, at least 24 hours prior to the Closing Date.


The Purchase Agreement may be terminated prior to closing pursuant to termination provisions that are typical of a transaction of this type. If the Purchase Agreement is terminated other than as a result of the Company’s material breach or failure or refusal to close, the Company can choose either to (i) waive the default and proceed with the closing of the Sale, (ii) seek a court order to enforce the Agreement, or (iii) require Sonoran to return the applicable portion of the Deposit. If the Purchase Agreement is terminated as a result of the Company’s material breach or failure or refusal to close, Sonoran is entitled to keep the Deposit plus any interest accrued thereon.


 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and pre- and post-closing covenants of each party and customary closing conditions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the agreements instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or Sonoran or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures. Breaches of the representations and warranties will be subject to customary indemnification provisions, subject to specified aggregate limits of liability.


The foregoing summary description of the terms of the Purchase Agreement may not contain all information that is of interest to the reader. For further information regarding the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, this reference is made to such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 hereto and is incorporated herein by this reference.
