REGENCY REALTY CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) General. Regency Realty Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in
the State of Florida for the purpose of owning, operating and
developing neighborhood shopping centers. At March 31, 1997, the
Company owned 81 properties in the southeastern United States. The
Company also provides management, leasing, brokerage and development
services for real estate not owned by the Company (third parties). The
Company commenced operations effective with the completion of its
initial public offering on November 5, 1993.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Regency Realty Group II, Inc. (the "Management Company"),
it's wholly owned or majority owned properties and its joint ventures.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
December 31, 1996 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 25, 1997. Certain amounts for 1996 have been
reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in 1997.
(b) Basis of Presentation. The accompanying interim unaudited financial
statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments
which are of a normal recurring nature, and in the opinion of
management, are necessary to properly state the results of operations
and financial position. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.
(c) Financial Accounting Standard No. 128. During February 1997, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 128, (SFAS 128) "Earnings per Share". SFAS 128
governs the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for
earnings per share (EPS) for entities with publicly held common stock.
SFAS 128 was issued to simplify the computation of EPS and replaces
the Primary and Fully diluted EPS calculations currently in use with
calculations of Basic and Diluted EPS. SFAS 128 is effective for
financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending after
December 15, 1997, and earlier application is not permitted. The
Company will begin to calculate its EPS in compliance with SFAS 128
for the year ended December 31, 1997.
2. Acquisition and Development of Real Estate
On March 7, 1997, the Company acquired, through its partnership, Regency
Retail Partnership, L.P. (the "Partnership") of which a subsidiary of the
Company is the sole general partner, substantially all the assets of
Branch Properties, L.P. ("Branch"), a privately held real estate firm
based in Atlanta, Georgia. The assets acquired from Branch include 26
shopping centers totaling approximately 2,496,921 SF of gross leasable
area including 473,682 SF currently under development or redevelopment.
The Partnership acquired (i) a 100% fee simple interest in 19 of these
operating properties and (ii) partnership interests (ranging from 30% to
97%) in 4 partnerships with outside investors ("Limited Partners'
Interest") that own the remaining seven properties. In addition, the
Company, through Regency Realty Group II, Inc., acquired Branch's third
party development business, including build-to-suit projects, and third
party management and leasing contracts for approximately 3.6 million
square feet of shopping centers owned by third party investors.
At closing, the Company invested $26 million in the Partnership to pay
transaction costs and reduce debt assumed. The Partnership issued
3,373,801 redeemable partnership units ("Units") and the Company issued
155,797 shares of common stock to the sellers of Branch ("Unit Holders")
at $26.85 for $94,769,706 and assumed $105,302,169 of debt (net of a
$25,728,111 paydown at the date of closing). Limited partners' interest in
consolidated partnerships of $6,914,339 was recorded for the four
partnerships with outside investors. The operations of Branch are included
from the date of acquisition and contributed $306,371 to net income for
common stockholders net of the 67.4% minority interest share of redeemable
partnership units of $633,705. For purposes of determining minority
interest, the Company owned 32.6% of the outstanding Units in the
Partnership at March 31, 1997. Upon approval by the Company's shareholders
at is annual meeting on June 12, 1997, most of the outstanding Units held
by Unit Holders are expected to be redeemed for Common stock based upon
redemption notices already received. At completion of the redemption, the
Company expects that it will own approximately 90% of the outstanding
Units of the Partnership. The Company's directors, officers, and principal
shareholders who own approximately 50.2% of the outstanding Common stock
have signed voting agreements agreeing to vote all of their shares in
favor of the redemption.
In addition to the Branch acquisition, the Company completed the
acquisition of three shopping centers during the first quarter. The
properties are 100% owned unless noted otherwise as follows:
Year Date Acquired Company
Shopping Center Location Built by the Company GLA
--------------- -------- ------ -------------- -------
Oakley Plaza Asheville, N.C. 1988 03-14-97 118,727
Mariners Village Orlando, FL 1986 03-25-97 117,665
Carmel Commons Charlotte, N.C. 1979 03-28-97 132,647
3. Acquisition and Development Line of Credit
The Company has a $150 million unsecured revolving line of credit ("the
Line") which is primarily used to acquire and develop real estate. The
interest rate is Libor + 150 basis points with interest only for two years,
and if then terminated, becomes a two year term loan with principal due in
seven equal quarterly installments. The borrower may request a one year
extension of the interest only revolving period annually in May of each
year beginning in 1997.
4. Stockholders' Equity
On June 11, 1996, the Company entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the
"Agreement") with Security Capital U.S. Realty ("US Realty") granting it
certain rights such as purchasing common stock, nominating representatives
to the Company's Board of Directors, and subjecting US Realty to certain
restrictions including voting and ownership restrictions. The Agreement
primarily granted US Realty (i) the right to acquire 7,499,400 shares for
approximately $132 million and also participation rights entitling it to
purchase additional equity in the Company, at the same price as that
offered to other purchasers, each time that the Company sells additional
shares of capital stock or options or other rights to acquire capital
stock, in order to preserve US Realty's pro rata ownership position; and
(ii) the right to nominate a proportionate number of directors on the
Company's Board, rounded down to the nearest whole number, based upon US
Realty's percentage ownership of outstanding Common Stock (but not to
exceed 49% of the Board). As of March 31, 1997, US Realty has acquired
5,126,978 shares and is expected to acquire the remaining 2,372,422 shares
at $17.625 per share no later than June, 1997.
For a period of at least five years (subject to certain exceptions),
Security Capital is precluded from, among other things, (i) acquiring more
than 45% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, (ii)
transferring shares without the Company's approval in a negotiated
transaction that would result in any transferee beneficially owning more
than 9.8% of the Company's capital stock, or (iii) acting in concert with
any third parties as part of a 13D group. Subject to certain exceptions, US
Realty is required to vote its shares either as recommended by the Board of
Directors or proportionately in accordance with the vote of the other
shareholders.
In connection with the Units and shares of Common Stock issued in exchange
for Branch's assets on March 7, 1997, Security Capital had the right to
acquire up to 3,771,622 shares of Common Stock at a price of $22-1/8 per
share. However, pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to its Stockholders Agreement
with the Company, Security Capital elected (i) to waive such rights with
respect to all but 1,750,000 shares (or such lesser number, not less than
850,000 shares, as will not result in the Company ceasing to be a
domestically controlled real estate investment trust), (ii) to initially
defer its rights with respect to the 1,750,000 shares to no later than
August 31, 1997, and (iii) to defer its rights with respect to any such
shares, not to exceed 1,050,000 shares, that remain unpurchased on August
31, 1997 to no later than the first Earn-Out Closing, in order to permit
Unit holders who are Non-U.S. Persons (as defined in the Company's Articles
of Incorporation) to redeem their Units for Common Stock. Security
Capital's participation rights (i) remain in effect, with respect to Units
and shares issued at the Earn-Out Closings, and (ii) also remain in effect,
at a price equal to the then market price of the Common Stock, with respect
to shares issued upon the redemption of Units for Common Stock provided
that Security Capital did not exercise its participation rights at the time
of issuance of such Units.
5. Earnings Per Share
Additional Units and shares of Common Stock may be issued on the fifteenth
day after the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing of the
acquisition of Branch (each an "Earn-Out Closing"), based on the
performance of certain of the Partnership's properties (the "Property
Earn-Out"). The formula for the Property Earn-Out provides for calculating
any increases in value on a property-by-property basis, based on any
increases in net income for certain properties in the Partnership's
portfolio as of February 15 of the year of calculation. The Property
Earn-Out is limited to $15,974,188 at the first Earn-Out Closing and
$22,568,851 at all Earn-Out Closings (including the first Earn-Out
Closing). Since issuance of additional consideration is contingent upon
increased earnings, for purposes of calculating fully diluted earning per
share, net income has been adjusted to give effect to the increase in
earnings specified by the Contribution Agreement with Branch Properties,
L.P. that results in the largest potential dilution, and outstanding shares
have been adjusted to include those shares contingently issuable upon
attainment of the increased earnings level.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
(dollar amounts in thousands).
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of Regency
Realty Corporation (the "Company") appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, the
Company's December 31, 1996 Form 10-K, and the Company's Form 8-K dated March 7,
1997.
Business
The Company's principal business is owning, operating and developing
grocery anchored neighborhood shopping centers in targeted infill markets in the
Southeast. At March 31, 1997 the Company owned 81 properties or approximately
8.3 million square feet (SF or GLA); 54% and 29% of the GLA of the properties
are located in Florida and Georgia, respectively, and 61 are grocery anchored.
At March 31, 1996, the Company owned 37 properties or approximately 4.1 million
SF. The Company's four largest tenants in order by number of leased store
locations, including properties under development, are Publix Supermarkets (24),
Winn-Dixie Stores (12), Wal-Mart (5), and The Kroger Co. (5).
Acquisition and Development
On March 7, 1997, the Company acquired, through its partnership, Regency
Retail Partnership, L.P. (the "Partnership") of which a subsidiary of the
Company is the sole general partner, substantially all the assets of Branch
Properties, L.P. ("Branch"), a privately held real estate firm based in Atlanta,
Georgia. The assets acquired from Branch include 26 shopping centers totaling
approximately 2,496,921 SF of gross leasable area including 473,682 SF currently
under development or redevelopment (the "Branch Properties"). The Partnership
acquired (i) a 100% fee simple interest in 19 of these operating properties and
(ii) partnership interests (ranging from 30% to 97%) in 4 partnerships with
outside investors that own the remaining seven properties. The Company also
acquired the third party property management business of Branch with contracts
on approximately 3.6 million SF of shopping center GLA that generate management
fees and leasing commission revenues.
The Partnership issued 3,373,801 units of limited partnership interest
(the "Units") and the Company issued 155,797 shares of Common Stock in exchange
for the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed from Branch. The Units will
be redeemable on a one-for-one basis in exchange for shares of Common Stock,
subject to approval of the conversion rights by the Company's shareholders at
the Company's 1997 annual meeting. The Company's directors, officers, and
principal shareholders who own approximately 50.2% of the outstanding Common
stock have signed voting agreements agreeing to vote all of their shares in
favor of the redemption. The Company and Branch agreed to the Units and shares
to be issued based upon a purchase price of approximately $78 million (3,529,598
combined Units and shares at $22.125, the fair market value of the Company's
Common Stock on the date the terms of the acquisition were reached) plus the
assumption of Branch's existing liabilities. On the date the acquisition was
publicly announced, the average fair market value of the Company's common stock
had risen to $26.85 per share. Accordingly, the purchase price of Branch as
reflected in the Company's financial statements was increased to approximately
$100 million (3,529,598 Units and shares at $26.85 and approximately $5 million
in related reserves and transaction costs) plus the assumption of Branch's
existing liabilities.
Additional Units and shares of Common Stock may be issued on the fifteenth
day after the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing (each an
"Earn-Out Closing"), based on the performance of certain of the Partnership's
properties (the "Property Earn-Out"), and additional shares of Common Stock may
be issued at the first and second Earn-Out Closings based on revenues earned
from third party management and leasing contracts (the "Third Party Earn-Out"
estimated to be approximately $750). The formula for the Property Earn-Out
provides for calculating any increases in value on a property-by-property basis,
based on any increases in net income for certain properties in the Partnership's
portfolio as of February 15 of the year of calculation. The Property Earn-Out is
limited to $15.9 million at the first Earn-Out Closing and $22.6 million at all
Earn-Out Closings (including the first Earn-Out Closing). The acquisition of
Branch is discussed further in note 2, Acquisition and Development of Real
Estate, of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the first quarter of 1997, the Company also acquired three
shopping centers unrelated to the Branch Properties (the "1997 Acquisitions")
for $27.6 million (including certain budgeted capital improvements designed to
improve the performance of the acquired properties) for a total of 369,039
square feet. In addition to the acquisition of the Branch Properties and the
1997 Acquisitions, the Company also had seven grocery anchored shopping centers
under development or redevelopment, which when completed in 1998, will represent
a total investment of approximately $46.3 million. During the first quarter of
1996, the Company acquired one shopping center for $5.2 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's total indebtedness at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was
approximately $304.9 million and $125.6 million, respectively, of which $171.7
million and $94.7 million had fixed interest rates averaging 7.7% and 7.5%,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate on total debt at March 31, 1997
and 1996 was 7.6%. Based upon the Company's total market capitalization (total
debt and the market value of equity) at March 31, 1997 of $805 million (closing
common stock price of $26.75 per share and total common stock and equivalents
outstanding of 18.7 million), the Company's debt to total market capitalization
ratio was 37.9% vs. 42.8% at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Included in
outstanding debt at March 31, 1997 is $105 million of outstanding debt assumed
as part of the Branch acquisition.
The 1997 Acquisitions were financed from the Company's $150 million line
of credit (the "Line"). At March 31, 1997, the balance of the Line was $104.9
million and had a variable rate of interest equal to the London Inter-bank
Offered Rate ("Libor") plus 150 basis points.
During 1996, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"Agreement") with Security Capital US Realty ("US Realty"). Under the Agreement,
the Company agreed to sell 7,499,400 shares of common stock to US Realty at a
price of $17.625 per share representing total maximum proceeds of approximately
$132 million. During 1996, the Company sold 3,651,800 shares to US Realty for
approximately $64.4 million and the proceeds were used to pay down the Line. The
Company sold 1,475,178 shares to US Realty on March 3, 1997 and the $26 million
proceeds were used to reduce debt assumed as part of the Branch transaction by
$25.7 million. Not later than June, 1997, the Company will sell 2,372,422 shares
committed to US Realty generating proceeds of approximately $41.8 million which
will be used to pay down the Line. As part of the Agreement, US Realty also has
participation rights entitling them to purchase additional equity in the Company
at the same price as that offered to other purchasers in order to preserve their
pro rata ownership in the Company. For further discussion of the Agreement, see
note 4, Stockholders' Equity, of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company's principal demands for liquidity are dividends to
stockholders, distributions to redeemable partnership unit-holders, the
operation, maintenance and improvement of real estate, and scheduled interest
and principal payments. The Company paid dividends and redeemable partnership
unit distributions of $5.8 million and $3.2 million to its stockholders and Unit
holders during 1997 and 1996, respectively. In January 1997, the Company
increased its quarterly common dividend to $.42 per share vs. $.405 per share in
1996. Total dividends expected to be paid by the Company during 1997 will
increase substantially over 1996 due to the common stock dividend increase, the
Agreement with US Realty, and the additional shares and Units issued as part of
the Branch acquisition.
As of March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company's net cash used in investing
activities was $32.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively, due to the real
estate acquisitions, construction and building improvements as further discussed
above. The Company anticipates that cash provided by operating activities,
unused amounts under the Line, expected future sales of common stock to US
Realty, and cash reserves are adequate to meet liquidity requirements. At March
31, 1997, the Company had cash balances of $14.6 million.
The Company has made an election to be taxed, and is operating so as to
qualify, as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") for Federal income tax
purposes, and accordingly has paid no Federal income tax since its Initial
Public Offering in 1993. While the Company intends to continue to pay dividends
to its stockholders, the Company will reserve such amounts of cash flow as it
considers necessary for the proper maintenance and improvement of its real
estate, while still maintaining its qualification as a REIT.
The Company's real estate portfolio has grown substantially during 1997 as
a result of the acquisitions and developments discussed above. In addition to
the Branch acquisition, during 1997, the Company expects to exceed the 1996
level of real estate acquisitions of $107 million and intends to meet the
related capital requirements, principally for the acquisition or development of
new properties, from borrowings on the Line, and from additional public equity
and debt offerings. Because such acquisition and development activities are
discretionary in nature, they are not expected to burden the Company's capital
resources currently available for liquidity requirements.
Results of Operations
Comparison of 1997 to 1996
Revenues increased $7.2 million or 68.9% to $17.7 million in 1997. The
increase is due primarily to the acquisition of Branch Properties and the 1997
Acquisitions providing $3.2 million in revenues in 1997 (partial year
ownership), and the 1996 Acquisitions providing $3.7 million in 1997 compared
with no revenue contribution during the first quarter of 1996 as a result of
timing. At March 31, 1997, the real estate portfolio contained approximately 8.3
million SF, was 95.6% leased and had average rents of $9.18 per SF. Minimum rent
increased $4.6 million or 58.2%, and recoveries from tenants increased $1.4
million or 83%. On a same property basis (excluding the 1997, 1996 and Branch
Properties Acquisitions) revenues increased $340 or 3.2%, primarily due to
higher occupancy levels. Revenues from property management, leasing, brokerage,
and development services provided on properties not owned by the Company were
$1.6 million in 1997 compared to $0.7 million in 1996, the increase due to the
property management and leasing contracts acquired as part of the acquisition of
Branch. At March 31, 1997, the Company managed properties for third party owners
containing approximately 4.8 million SF vs. 1.2 million SF at March 31, 1996.
Operating expenses increased $3.8 million or 66.8% to $9.4 million in
1997. Combined operating and maintenance expense and real estate taxes increased
$1.7 million or 64% during 1997 to $4.3 million. The increase is due primarily
to the acquisition of the Branch Properties and the 1997 Acquisitions generating
$1.1 million in operating expenses in 1997 (partial year ownership) and the 1996
Acquisitions producing $1.4 million in operating expenses in 1997 compared with
no expenses during the first quarter of 1996 as a result of timing. General and
administrative expense increased 75.5% during 1997 to $2.2 million due to hiring
new employees during 1997 and the fourth quarter of 1996 necessary to manage the
properties recently acquired and expected to be acquired during 1997.
Depreciation and amortization was 64.6% higher than 1996 due to the acquisition
of the Branch Properties and the 1997 and 1996 Acquisitions.
Interest expense increased to $3.7 million in 1997 from $2.4 million in
1996 or 55.6% due primarily to increased average outstanding loan balances
associated as further discussed above. Net income for common stockholders was
$4.037 million or $.31 per share in 1997 vs. $2.576 million or $.26 per share in
1996.
Funds from Operations
The Company considers funds from operations ("FFO"), as defined by the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income (computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) excluding gains (or
losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and
amortization of real estate, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
investments in real estate partnerships and joint ventures, to be the industry
standard for reporting the operations of real estate investment trusts
("REITs"). Adjustments for investments in real estate partnerships are
calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. While management believes that FFO
is the most relevant and widely used measure of the Company's performance, such
amount does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally
accepted accounting principles, should not be considered an alternative to net
income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, and is not
indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. Additionally, the
Company's calculation of FFO, as provided below, may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures of other REITs.
FFO increased $3.1 million or 72.7% from 1996 to 1997 as a result of the
acquisition activity discussed above under "Results of Operations". FFO for the
periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 are summarized in the following table:
1997 1996
---- ----
Net income for common stockholders $ 4,037 2,576
Add back:
Real estate depreciation and
amortization, net 2,756 1,724
Minority interests in net income

Cash flow provided by (used by):
Operating activities $ 14,197 5,768
Investing activities (32,125) (6,492)
Financing activities 24,264 2,715
Weighted average shares outstanding 15,217 9,766
====== =====
Environmental Matters
The Company like others in the commercial real estate industry, is subject
to numerous environmental laws and regulations and the operation of dry cleaning
plants at the Company's shopping centers is the principal environmental concern.
The Company believes that the dry cleaners are operating in accordance with
current laws and regulations and has established procedures to monitor their
operations. Based on information presently available, no additional
environmental accruals were made and management believes that the ultimate
disposition of currently known matters will not have a material effect on the
financial position, liquidity, or operations of the Company.
Economic Conditions
A substantial number of the Company's long-term leases contain provisions
designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on the Company's net
income. Such provisions include percentage rentals, rental escalation clauses
and reimbursements to the Company for actual common area maintenance, insurance,
and real estate taxes paid. In addition, 44% of the Company's leases have terms
of five years or less, which allows the Company the opportunity to increase
rents upon lease expiration. Approximately 35% of the Company's leases expire
beyond 10 years and are generally anchor tenants. Unfavorable economic
conditions could result in the inability of certain tenants to meet their lease
obligations and otherwise could adversely affect the Company's ability to
attract and retain desirable tenants. Lurias currently has four leases with the
Company, all stores of which are closed. In May, 1997, Lurias went into default
under three leases, and continued to be in default under the fourth lease. Rent
from the Lurias leases represents approximately 0.7% of the Company's annualized
total rent. The Company considers Lurias to be bound by the lease terms,
however, the outcome of the default is uncertain. The Company has adequately
reserved for the potential loss of any rents due from Lurias. The Company had no
other significant defaults or bankruptcies during the first quarter of 1997.
At March 31, 1997 approximately 8.8%, 4.0%, 2.9% and 2.1% of the Company's
annualized total rent is received from Publix, Winn-Dixie, Kroger, and Wal-Mart,
respectively (the "Four Major Tenants"). Although the Company considers the
financial condition and its relationship with the Four Major Tenants to be good,
a significant downturn in business or the non-renewal of expiring leases of the
Four Major Tenants could adversely affect the Company. Management also believes
that the shopping centers are relatively well positioned to withstand adverse
economic conditions since they are typically anchored by supermarkets, drug
stores and discount department stores that offer day-to-day necessities rather
than luxury goods.

Concept Management Corp (the "Concept Management Lease"). Neither the Cutting
Edge Lease nor the Concept Management Lease by Closing will have commenced, or,

they are viable tenants. Seller and Buyer have agreed to deposit in escrow with
Escrow Agent, at Closing, the sums of $103,696.00 for the Cutting Edge Lease
(the "Cutting Edge Fund") and $161,304.00 for the Concept Management Lease (the
"Concept Management Fund"), to be disbursed to Seller upon the respective
Qualification Dates for each of said leases (the Cutting Edge Fund and the
Concept Management Fund being collectively referred to as the "Tenant Escrow
Funds"). Escrow Agent shall disburse the Cutting Edge Fund, and the Concept
Management Fund, respectively, to Seller, within ten (10) days after the
occurrence of the respective Qualification Date for each. The Qualification Date
for each lease shall be the date for each such lease by which the following
events shall have occurred:
(a) The tenant shall have accepted the space and be lawfully open for
business therein;

(b) The tenant shall have received all concessions due it under the Lease,
such as, by way of example, free rent and reimbursement for tenant improvements;
(c) The tenant has been paying full rent and reimbursements for at least
six (6) consecutive months without default;
(d) There shall be no default under such Lease which remains uncured as of
the Qualification Date;

Qualification Date did not occur and vacating of its premises by the tenant
thereunder, (the costs of which shall be borne by Seller), but no later than the
date which occurs twenty-one (21) months after the Closing Date, within which to
obtain a replacement tenant under an Approved Lease, and thereafter an
additional nine (9) months during which the Qualification Date for such
replacement tenant may occur. In order to qualify as a replacement tenant the
replacement lease must have an initial term of no less than three (3) years with
a third party tenant unaffiliated with Seller who is creditworthy in Buyer's
reasonable judgment and who is experienced in Buyer's reasonable judgment in the
operation of the type of business proposed to be conducted at the leased
premises. The replacement lease shall not be considered an Approved Lease unless
it is written on the Shopping Center's standard form lease used by Buyer,
without material modification (or other form reasonably approved by Buyer), and
unless it provides for rents, cost sharing and concessions which are comparable
to that of the tenant being replaced and which Buyer reasonably considers to be
"market" for the Orlando area. The amount to be paid with respect to an approved
replacement tenant shall be the lesser of (i) the Cutting Edge Fund (in the case
of space number 2), or the Concept Management Fund (in the case of space number
5), and (ii) the Net Effective Rent under the replacement lease divided by
0.104. Any balance shall be returned to Buyer. The term "Net Effective Rent"
shall mean base rent and expense reimbursement recoveries from a tenant under a
Lease, less all free rent, cash payments and allowances and other concessions to
the tenant and less a credit reserve of five percent (5%) of tenant rent and
recoveries, if the tenant is a local tenant or a tenant whose lease has an
initial term of less than ten (10) years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Buyer shall itself lease the space prior to Seller's tendering a replacement
tenant, Seller's right to lease such space shall terminate, but the escrowed
funds with respect to such space shall be paid to Seller on the basis of the
aforesaid computaed to Buyer. Seller shall pay all leasing
-8-
commissions payable with respect to the Cutting Edge Lease, the Concept
Management Lease or any replacement lease, whether procured by Seller or Buyer.

misconduct. If the indemnity amounts payable hereunder result from the fault of
Buyer or Seller (or their respective agents), the party at fault shall pay, and
hold the other party harmless against, such amounts.
3. Conflicting Demands. If conflicting demands are made upon Escrow
Agent with respect to the escrow, the parties hereto expressly agree that Escrow

harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability or expense,
including costs of reasonable attorneys' fees to which Escrow Agent may be put
or which may incur by reason of or in connection with such controversy or

notice of the proposed disbursement to Buyer and Seller and neither Buyer nor
Seller shall have delivered any written objection to the disbursement within 14
days after receipt of Escrow Agent's notice. No notice by Buyer or Seller to

accordance with the provisions of this section and Section 2.2 above.
10.2 Indemnity. Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either party except
for claims resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Escrow
Agent. If the escrow is involved in any controversy or litigation, the parties
hereto shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent free and
harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability or expense,
including costs of reasonable attorneys' fees to which Escrow Agent may be put
or which may incur by reason of or in connection with such controversy or
litigation, except to the extent it is finally determined that such controversy
or litigation resulted from Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. If the indemnity amounts payable hereunder result from the fault of
Buyer or Seller (or their respective agents), the party at fault shall pay, and
hold the other party harmless against, such amounts.
10.3 Conflicting Demands. If conflicting demands are made upon Escrow
Agent with respect to the escrow, the parties hereto expressly agree that Escrow
Agent shall have the absolute right to do either or both of the following: (i)
withhold and stop all proceedings in performance of this escrow and await
settlement of the controversy by final appropriate legal proceedings or
otherwise as it may require; or (ii) file suit for declaratory relief and/or
interpleader and obtain an order from the court requiring the parties to
interplead and litigate in such court their several claims and rights between
themselves. Upon the filing of any such declaratory relief or interpleader suit
and tender of the Earnest Money Deposit to the court, Escrow Agent shall
thereupon be fully released and discharged from any and all obligations to
further perform the duties or obligations imposed upon it by this Agreement.
Buyer and Seller agree to respond promptly in writing to any request by Escrow
Agent for clarification, consent or instructions. Any action proposed to be
taken by Escrow Agent for which approval of Buyer and/or Seller is requested
shall be considered approved if Escrow Agent does not receive written notice of
disapproval within fourteen (14) days after a written request for approval is
received by the party whose approval is being requested. Escrow Agent shall not
be required to take any action for which approval of Buyer and/or Seller has
been sought unless such approval has been received. No disbursements shall be
made, other than as provided in Section 2.2 or to a court in an interpleader
action, unless Escrow Agent shall have given written notice of the proposed
disbursement to Buyer and Seller and neither Buyer nor Seller shall have
delivered any written objection to the disbursement within 14 days after receipt
of Escrow Agent's notice. No notice by Buyer or Seller to Escrow Agent of
disapproval of a proposed action shall affect the right of Escrow Agent to take
any action as to which such approval is not required.
10.4 Continuing Counsel. Seller acknowledges that Escrow Agent is
counsel to Buyer herein and Seller agrees that in the event of a dispute
hereunder or otherwise between Seller and Buyer, Escrow Agent may continue to
represent Buyer notwithstanding that it is acting and will continue to act as
Escrow Agent hereunder, it being acknowledged by all parties that Escrow Agent's
duties hereunder are ministerial in nature.

Legal Description
REAL ESTATE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Real Estate Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by PDI St.
Lucie I Limited Partnership, an Ohio limited partnership ("Seller"), and RRC
Acquisitions, Inc. ("Buyer"). The "Effective Date" of this Agreement will be the
date on which both Seller and Buyer have executed this Agreement. For the
parties' convenience in reviewing this Agreement, all defined terms used in this
Agreement will be highlighted by boldface print when first defined in this
Agreement.
Seller and Buyer hereby agree as follows:
ss.1. SALE OF THE PROPERTY. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Agreement, Seller will sell to Buyer all of Seller's right,
title and interest in and to the following described property. All references
herein to the "Land", "Improvements", "Personal Property", "Leases" and
"Intangible Property" will have the meanings attributed to such terms in this
ss.1.
(a) Land. The approximately 31.5 acre tract of land located off of U.S.
I in Port St. Lucie, Florida, which tract is more particularly
described in Exhibit A, together with all rights and interests
appurtenant thereto, including without limitation, all water and
mineral rights, development rights, easements and rights-of-way.
(b) Improvements. All buildings and other improvements
------------
located on the Land, including, without limitation,
the shopping center buildings, which contain
approximately 235,842 square feet of rentable space,
and which are collectively known as the "Eastport
Plaza Shopping Center", together with all parking
areas and other site and accessory improvements
located on the Land and all systems, facilities and
fixtures located within such shopping center
buildings.
(c) Personal Property. All tools, machinery, appliances,
-----------------
fixtures (to the extent not part of the
Improvements), floor and window coverings,
furnishings, signs, equipment, inventory, supplies
and tangible personal property owned by Seller and
used in connection with the operation of and located
on the Real Property, as the same are more
particularly described in Exhibit B.
(d) Leases. All leases with any existing tenants of the Real Property
(together with any amendments, extensions, guaranties or
modifications to such leases), as the same are more particularly
described in the rent roll attached hereto as Exhibit C;
(e) Intangible Property. Any rights in and to those,
--------------------
contracts, agreements, utility arrangements,
warranties, guarantees, indemnities, claims,
licenses, applications, permits, construction
warranties, certificates of occupancy, plans and
specifications, and other similar items and
intangible rights used in connection with or relating
to the Land, Improvements, Personal Property and
Leases (including, without limitation, the
non-exclusive right to use the name "Eastport
Plaza"), as the same are more particularly described
in Exhibit D. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the only contracts to be
assigned to and assumed by Buyer and, hence, included
within the definition of "Intangible Property" for
the purposes of this Agreement, will be those
contracts identified on attached Exhibit D, which
either: (i) are not cancelable upon 30 days or less
notice; or (ii) although cancelable upon 30 days or
less notice, are nonetheless specifically designated
by Buyer in a written notice to Seller as being
contracts which Buyer desires to have assigned to it
at closing (collectively, the "Surviving Contracts").
The Land and Improvements are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Real
Property". The Real Property, Personal Property, Leases and Intangible Property
are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Property".
ss.2. DEPOSIT. Within two business days after the Effective Date, Buyer
will deposit with the law firm of Maguire, Voorhis & Wells, P.A. ("Escrow
Agent") cash in the sum of $50,000 as a good faith deposit. Within two business
days after date of Buyer's satisfaction of its inspection contingency under
ss.5, Buyer will deposit with Escrow Agent cash in an additional sum of
$100,000, which amount will also be held pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. All amounts deposited with the Escrow Agent hereunder will be held in
an interest-bearing account, with all references herein to the "Deposit"
specifically including not only the initial principal sum of $50,000, but also
the additional principal sum of $100,000 (once paid to the Escrow Agent), and
all interest earned on such principal sums. The Deposit will be disbursed in the
following manner:
(a) If the closing occurs in the manner contemplated in this Agreement,
then the Deposit will be paid to Seller and applied as a credit
against the Purchase Price payable at closing;
(b) If this Agreement is terminated under ss.5 as a result of Buyer's
failure to satisfy or waive its inspection contingency under ss.5,
then the Deposit will be returned to Buyer;
(c) If the closing fails to occur as a result of Seller's
default hereunder, then the Deposit will be returned
to Buyer, without prejudice to Buyer's right to
pursue the remedy of specific performance to redress
such default; and
(d) If the closing fails to occur as a result of
Buyer's default hereunder, then the Deposit will be
paid to Seller as full and complete liquidated
damages to redress such default.
ss.3. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price for the Property will be
$14,804,652 ("Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price will be paid in cash at
closing by means of a federal funds wire transfer. The Purchase Price payable at
closing will be subject to such prorations, credits, allowances and other
adjustments as are provided for in this Agreement.
ss.4. INSPECTION CONTINGENCY. Buyer's obligations under this Agreement are
contingent upon Buyer determining, on or before March 25, 1997 ("Inspection
Period"), that the Property is acceptable to Buyer. Seller will permit Buyer and
Buyer's agents and contractors access to the Property and to all files, books
and records maintained by Seller with respect to the Property at all reasonable
times during the Inspection Period, so that Buyer can conduct all such tests,
studies and inspections of the Property as Buyer deems appropriate and review
all such files, books and records as Buyer deems appropriate. All files, books
and records maintained by Seller with respect to the Property will be made
available for inspection by Buyer and Buyer's agents and contractors at Seller's
offices at Suite 1350, 255 South Orange Avenue, Orlando, Florida. During the
Inspection Period, Buyer will also be permitted to interview all tenants under
the Leases, provided that it provide advance notice to Seller of the times of
any such interviews and permits a representative of Seller a reasonable
opportunity to be present during such interviews.
Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any liability or loss
incurred by Seller as a result of Buyer's activities at the Property and to
promptly restore any damage caused to the Property as a result of such
activities. If Buyer fails to timely satisfy or waive its inspection contingency
under this ss.4 then, within ten days after the expiration of the Inspection
Period, Buyer will deliver to Seller copies of all written reports received by
Buyer with respect to the various tests, studies and inspections conducted by
Buyer or its agents or contractors with respect to the Property and will return
to Seller copies of all of Seller's files, books and records made by Buyer or
its agents or contractors during such Inspection Period.
In order to further facilitate Buyer's determination of the acceptability of the
Property, Seller will, within three business days after the Effective Date,
provide the following materials to Buyer:
(a) Copies of all Leases;
(b) Copies of all environmental reports in its possession with
respect to the Real Property;
(c) The most current survey of the Real Property; (d) The most recent
title policy for the Real Property; (e) Copies of financial operating
statements for the Property (that
is, income and expense statements) for the 1994, 1995 and 1996
calendar years;
(f) Copies of real estate tax bills for the Real Property for the
calendar years 1994, 1995 and 1996;
(g) Copies of any existing service contracts related to the Property;
(h) Copies of utilities bills relating to the operation of the Real
Property for the calendar year 1996;
(i) Copies of all certificates of occupancy in its possession with
respect to the Improvements;
(j) Copies of all plans and specifications related to the
Improvements including, where appropriate, civil, structural and
mechanical drawings;
(k) Copies of all expense recovery reconciliations for the calendar
years 1995 and 1996;
(l) Seller's operating budget for the calendar year 1996;
(m) Evidence that all sales tax payments with respect to rents
payable for the Real Property are current.
If Buyer gives Seller written notice within the Inspection Period that the
results of its inspections are acceptable to Buyer, then Buyer will be obligated
to pay the additional $100,000 deposit to Escrow Agent at the time and in the
manner contemplated in ss.2 hereof and the parties will thereafter proceed to
close Buyer's purchase of the Property in the manner contemplated in this
Agreement. If Buyer gives Seller written notice within the Inspection Period
that the results of its inspections are unacceptable to Buyer, for any reason
whatsoever (as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion) or if Buyer fails to
give any written notice concerning the acceptability of its inspections to
Seller during the Inspection Period, then in either such event, the Deposit will
be returned to Buyer, this Agreement will thereupon automatically terminate and
the parties will be relieved of all further rights, liabilities and obligations
under this Agreement, except for Buyer's indemnification, restoration and other
obligations expressly placed upon it under this ss.4.
ss.5. TITLE COMMITMENT. Within fifteen days after the Effective Date,
Seller will cause First American Title Insurance Company or some other
nationally-recognized title insurance company acceptable to Buyer ("Title
Company") to furnish to Buyer a commitment for an ALTA Form B Owner's Title
Insurance Policy in the face amount of the Purchase Price, together with legible
copies of all title exceptions noted in such title commitment ("Title
Commitment"). The Title Commitment will show that Seller has marketable fee
simple title to the Property, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances,
excepting only those liens and encumbrances which are approved by Buyer in the
manner hereinafter set forth in this ss.5. If Buyer wishes to obtain a survey of
the Real Property (other than any existing survey furnished to Buyer pursuant to
ss.4), it will be required to do so at its sole expense.
If the Title Commitment (or any survey obtained by Buyer) discloses any
exceptions to title which are unacceptable to Buyer, then Buyer will have seven
days after its receipt of such Title Commitment in which to deliver in writing
to Seller any objection which Buyer may have to any such title exceptions
("Title Notice"). Buyer will be deemed to have approved any title exceptions
appearing in the Title Commitment, which are not objected to in a timely
delivered Title Notice and, thereafter, such additional title exceptions will
also be treated as "Permitted Exceptions" for the purposes of this Agreement.
If Buyer objects to any such additional title exception by delivering a Title
Notice to Seller within the aforementioned seven-day period, then Seller, at its
expense, will use its reasonable efforts to satisfy the objections made by Buyer
in its Title Notice within five days after Seller's receipt of the Title Notice.
If Seller fails to satisfy all of such objections within the aforementioned
five-day period then Buyer will have the option of either: (a) terminating its
obligations with respect to the purchase of the Property by giving written
notice of termination to Seller within three days after the expiration of the
aforementioned five-day period, in which event, the Deposit will be returned to
Buyer and, thereafter, neither party will have any further rights, liabilities
or obligations hereunder with respect to the Property, except for Buyer's
indemnification, restoration and other obligations expressly placed upon it
under ss.4; or (b) waiving its objections under the Title Notice and proceeding
to close on the purchase of the Property. If Seller is successful in satisfying
any of Buyer's objections, then Seller will deliver to Buyer proof of such
satisfaction and will also deliver to Buyer the Title Company's related Title
Commitment endorsement.
ss.6. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Within 30 days after the Effective Date,
Landlord will use its best efforts to deliver to Tenant an estoppel certificate
("Estoppel Certificate"), executed by each tenant under the Leases and dated not
earlier than the Effective Date. Such Estoppel Certificates will address the
status of rent payments, tenant improvements, defaults and other matters
relating to the Leases, and will, except as otherwise agreed to by Buyer, be in
substantially the form and content attached hereto as Exhibit H. Buyer's
obligations under this Agreement will be expressly contingent upon Buyer
receiving executed Estoppel Certificates from the "Anchor Tenants" (as that term
is hereinafter defined) and from those other tenants occupying at least 90% of
the remaining rentable square footage contained within the Real Property. For
the purpose of this Agreement, "Anchor Tenants" will mean Publix, Walgreens,
K-Mart and Sears Homelife.
ss.7. CLOSING PRORATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS. If Seller's sale of the Property
to Buyer closes in the manner contemplated in this Agreement, then Buyer's and
Seller's respective economic rights and obligations with respect to the Property
will be determined in the manner described in this ss.7. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all of the income and expense prorations contemplated
hereunder will be calculated, apportioned and prorated between Buyer and Seller
as of 11:59 p.m. on the day prior to the date of closing.
(a) Real Estate Taxes. Seller will pay or credit on the
-------------------
Purchase Price the amount of all delinquent real
estate taxes and installments of special insessments,
including penalties and interest thereon, that are a
lien on the Real Property as of the date of closing.
Seller will also credit on the Purchase Price all
unpaid real estate taxes and installments of special
assessments which are not yet due for years prior to
the closing and a portion of such taxes and
installments for the year of closing, prorated
through the date of closing. The proration of the
undetermined taxes and installments of special
assessments will be based upon a 365 day year and
upon the most recently available tax use, rate and
valuation for the Real Property. The proration of
taxes and installments of assessments hereunder will
be reprorated upon request by either party upon the
issuance of the actual tax bill for the year of
closing and will then be based upon the amount of
such taxes and installments of assessments which are
due on the earliest payment date specified by
applicable law. Any request for a reproration
hereunder must be made on or before December 31 of
the year of closing.
(b) Rents. All rents and other payments due from the tenants under the
Leases will be prorated in the manner hereinafter set forth in this
subparagraph (b).
(i)Base Rents. Seller will credit on the Purchase Price that
portion of all Base Rents (as that term is hereinafter
defined) payable for the calendar month of closing, which
are attributable to the period from and after the date of
closing. Seller will be entitled to retain any Base Rents
collected by it prior to or after the date of closing,
which are attributable either to the month of closing or
any months preceding the month of closing. If following the
date of closing, Buyer collects Base Rents which are
attributable to the period prior to the date of closing,
then, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Buyer
will immediately pay such Base Rents to Seller. If
following the date of closing, Seller collects Base Rents
which are attributable to any month after the month of
closing, then Seller will immediately pay such Base Rents
to Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any Base Rents collected by Buyer from
any tenant after the date of closing will first be applied
by Buyer toward the payment of Base Rents owed to Buyer by
such tenant for months after the month of closing, and
then, and only then, will any excess Base Rents collected
by Buyer be paid to Seller under this subparagraph (i). For
the purpose of this Agreement, "Base Rents" will mean any
fixed, minimum rent payable by tenants under the Leases
excluding, however, any Operating Expense Payments (as that
term is hereinafter defined).
(ii) Operating Expense Payments. Seller will credit on the
Purchase Price that portion of any Operating Expense
Payments (as that term is hereinafter defined) payable for
the calendar month of closing, which are attributable to
the period from and after the date of closing. Seller will
be entitled to any Operating Expense Payments which are
both paid periodically on an estimated basis by any tenants
under the Leases and are collected by it prior to or after
the date of closing and which are further attributable
either to the month of closing or any months preceding the
month of closing. If following the date of closing, Buyer
collects any Operating Expense Payments which are paid
periodically on an estimated basis by any tenants under the
Leases and which are attributable to the period prior to
the date of closing, then, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, Buyer will immediately pay such Operating
Expense Payments to Buyer. If, following the date of
closing, Seller collects any Operating Expense Payments,
which are paid periodically on an estimated basis by any
tenants under the Leases, and which are attributable to any
month after the month of closing, then Seller will
immediately pay such Operating Expenses Payments to Seller.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
any Operating Expenses Payments, which are paid
periodically on an estimated basis by any tenants under the
Leases, and which are collected by Buyer from any tenant
after the date of closing, will first be applied by Buyer
toward the payment of any Operating Expense Payments owed
to Buyer by such tenant for months after the month of
closing, and then, and only then, will any excess Operating
Expense Payments collected by Buyer be paid to Seller under
this subparagraph (ii). With respect to any Operating
Expense Payments, which are paid periodically on an
estimated basis by any tenants under the Leases, Buyer will
make a final reconciliation of the actual expenses incurred
in connection with the Real Property for any fiscal period
which includes the date of closing at the time and in the
manner required under the terms of the Leases. Within 30
days after the completion of each such reconciliation,
Buyer will provide written notice to Seller of the amount
of such reconciliation and the portion of the actual
Operating Expense Payments of the subject tenant which are
attributable to the period prior to the date of closing
(with such determination being made strictly on the basis
of the number of days prior to the date of closing which
are included in the fiscal period for which such
reconciliation is being made). If Buyer collects Operating
Expense Payments from any tenant under any Lease which,
when added to all periodic, estimated Operating Expense
Payments collected from such tenant by Buyer after the date
of closing (but which are attributable to the fiscal period
for which such final reconciliation is being made), exceed
the amount of the Tenant's actual Operating Expense Payment
obligation for the portion of the subject fiscal period
falling after the date of closing, then Buyer will, within
30 days after its collection of such Operating Expense
Payments, pay to Seller the amount of such excess. If Buyer
is required as a result of any such final reconciliation to
make any refund to any tenants under the Leases for any
excess periodic Operating Expense Payments made by any such
tenants under the Leases, then Seller will pay to Buyer,
within 30 days after Seller's receipt of Buyer's
determination that any such refund is due, an amount equal
to that portion of the refund which is attributable to the
period prior to the date of closing (with such
determination being made strictly on the basis of the
number of days prior to the date of closing which are
included in the fiscal period for which such reconciliation
is being made).Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, to the extent any Lease requires any
tenant to make any Operating Expense Payments other than on
an estimated, periodic basis (for example, an obligation of
a tenant to reimburse the owner of the Real Property by way
of an annual lump sum payment for its allocable share of
the actual real estate taxes or insurance premiums paid by
such owner), and if any such Operating Expense Payment
relates to expenses which are attributable to periods both
before and after the date of closing, then: (i) if any such
Operating Expense Payment is payable to Seller prior to the
date of closing, Seller will credit on the Purchase Price
the portion of such Operating Expense Payment which is
attributable to the period from and after the date of
closing; and (ii) if such Operating Expense Payment is
payable after the date of closing, then Buyer will, within
30 days after its collection of any such Operating Expense
Payments, make a payment to Seller of an amount equal to
that portion of the Operating Expense Payment which is
attributable to the period prior to the date of closing.
For the purposes of this Agreement, "Operating Expense
Payments" will mean all payments made by the tenants under
the Leases which are stated to be applicable towards common
area maintenance charges, insurance premiums, real estate
taxes and similar expenses associated with the Real
Property.
(iii) Overage Rents. Overage Rents (as that term is
hereinafter defined) will be separately prorated under each
Lease on the basis of the fiscal period set forth in each
Lease for the payment of such Overage Rents. Any Overage
Rents received by Seller or Buyer before or after the date
of closing will be retained by the recipient of such
payments, pending a final reconciliation based upon the
actual Overage Rents owed for any fiscal period which
includes the date of closing. Buyer will make the final
reconciliation at the time and in the manner required under
the terms of each Lease. Within 30 days after the
completion of each such final reconciliation, Buyer will
provide written notice to Seller of the amount of such
final reconciliation and the portion of the actual Overage
Rents for the subject tenant which are attributable to the
period prior to the date of closing. If Buyer actually
collects Overage Rents from any tenant under any Lease,
which, when added to all estimated, periodic Overage Rents
collected from such tenant by Buyer after the date of
closing (but which are attributable to the fiscal period
for which such final reconciliation is being made), exceed
the amount of the Tenant's actual Overage Rent obligation
for the portion of the subject fiscal period falling after
the date of closing, then Buyer will, within 30 days after
its collection of such Overage Rents, pay to Seller the
amount of such excess.
(iv) Delinquent Rents. Buyer and Seller agree that, to the
extent any existing tenants under any of the Leases (other
than the Anchor Tenants and the following national credits
tenants - Cato, Beneficial, Subway and Household Finance)
are, as of the last day of the Inspection Period,
delinquent on their Base Rent obligations for a period of
more than 60 days ("Delinquent Rent"), then there will be
credited against the Purchase Price payable by Buyer at
closing an amount equal to (a) the excess, if any, of the
aggregate annual Effective Gross Income (as that term is
hereinafter defined) produced under all of the Delinquent
Tenant's Leases, in the aggregate, over $30,000, divided by
(b) a capitalization rate of 12%. For the purposes of this
Agreement, "Effective Gross Income" means the average

Seller being entitled to receive or obligated to pay
(with any required payment being made at or prior to
closing), as the case may be, all such items of
income or expense attributable to the period prior to
the date of closing, and Buyer being entitled to
receive or obligated to pay, as the case may be, all

approve or disapprove any lease or modification or termination thereof submitted
to it by Seller hereunder. If Buyer consents to Seller taking any such action
with respect to any Lease, and if the sale of the Property thereafter closes in
the manner contemplated in this Agreement, then, except as otherwise expressly
agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller, Buyer will be deemed to have assumed and
will pay for all costs incurred with respect to any such Lease, including
without limitation, all tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions related
thereto.
ss.13. BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. Seller will at closing pay a commission to
Pizzuti Realty of Florida Inc. pursuant to a separate agreement. Except as

this transaction or taken any other action which could result in any fee being
due and payable to any real estate broker, finder, or other party with respect
to the transaction contemplated hereunder. Each party indemnifies and agrees to
hold the other party harmless from any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by or
claimed against the other party by reason of a breach of this representation and
warranty. The provisions of this ss.13 will survive the closing.

occurrence of a casualty or a taking by any public authority under the power or
right of eminent domain (or by the threat thereof) will be borne by Seller until

or destroyed as a result of such casualty or is so taken before this transaction
closes, then Seller will promptly notify Buyer of the occurrence of such event
and Buyer will have the sole option of either: (a) proceeding with the closing
and receiving all insurance proceeds or condemnation awards payable as a result
of such casualty or taking plus, with respect to any casualty, a payment from
Seller in an amount equal to the deductible amount of any insurance policy
covering any such casualty; or (b) terminating this Agreement. This Agreement
will terminate upon Buyer's delivery to Seller, within the time frame set forth
below, written notice of termination pursuant to clause (b), above. If this
Agreement is so terminated, then the Deposit will be returned to Buyer and,
thereafter, the parties will be relieved of any further rights, liabilities or
obligations under this Agreement, except for Buyer's indemnification and
restoration obligations under this ss.4. If Buyer fails to make the required
election pursuant to this ss.14 within ten days after its receipt of Seller's
written notice of the occurrence of any such casualty or taking, then Buyer will
be deemed to have elected to close the transaction pursuant to clause (a) of
this ss.14.
ss.15. DEFAULTS/REMEDIES. If Seller defaults in the performance of any of
its obligations hereunder and such default continues for a period of ten days
after written notice of the alleged existence of such default is given to
Seller, then Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, pursue the remedy of
specific performance to redress such default. If Buyer defaults on the
performance of any of its obligations hereunder and such default continues for a
period of ten days after written notice of the alleged existence of such default
is given to Buyer, then Seller will be entitled to receive the entire amount of
the Deposit as full and complete liquidated damages to redress such default; it
being expressly acknowledged by the parties hereto that Seller's damages in the
event of a default by Buyer hereunder are uncertain and difficult to ascertain,
and that the receipt of the Deposit constitutes a reasonable liquidation of such
damages and are intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller will not be
deemed to be in default under this Agreement if any fact or circumstance occurs
after the Effective Date which renders any of Seller's representations and
warranties untrue or inaccurate, so long as any such fact or circumstance is not
within the reasonable control of Seller.
ss.16. ATTORNEY'S FEES. If any legal action is commenced by either Seller
or Buyer to enforce its rights hereunder, then all reasonable attorney's fees
and other expenses incurred by the prevailing party in such action will be

matter of this escrow until the parties mutually agree to the disbursement
thereof or until a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction determines the

Court of Orange County Florida and upon notifying all parties concerned of such
action, all liability on the part of Escrow Agent will fully terminate except to
the extent of an accounting for items theretofore delivered out of escrow. In
the event of any legal action involving Buyer and Seller wherein Escrow Agent is
made a party by virtue of acting as Escrow Agent hereunder, or in the event of
the commencement of any legal action wherein Escrow Agent interpleads the
subject matter of this escrow, Escrow Agent will be entitled to recover
reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred, including, without limitation,
those incurred on appeal, if any, and in any administrative, mediation,
arbitration or bankruptcy proceedings, said fees and costs to be charged and
assessed as court costs in favor of the prevailing party and deducted from the
funds interpleaded. Buyer and Seller agree that the Escrow Agent will not be
liable to any party or person whatsoever for misdelivery of the Deposit, unless
such misdelivery is due to the willful breach of this Agreement or gross
negligence on the part of Escrow Agent, nor will Escrow Agent be liable for any
action taken by it, unless taken or suffered in willful disregard of its
obligations hereunder or with gross negligence. Additionally, Seller
acknowledges that in the event of any disagreement between Seller and Buyer
concerning the Deposit, the transaction under this Agreement or any other matter
related to the Property, Escrow Agent may continue to represent Buyer in
connection with such dispute, including negotiations, arbitration, mediation and
litigation, so long as Escrow Agent first delivers the Deposit to the Clerk of
Circuit Court of Orange County, Florida in the manner previously contemplated in
this ss.18.
ss.19. ASSIGNMENT OF AGREEMENT. Neither Buyer, nor Seller may
assign all or any part of this Agreement to any other party, without first
obtaining the written consent thereto of the other party; provided, however,
that Buyer may assign this Agreement to RRC Centers, Inc. without first
having to obtain any consent thereto from Seller.
ss.20. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be construed in
accordance with the laws with the State of Florida.
ss.21. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire agreement
of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be
modified or amended in any manner, except by a written instrument executed by
both parties to this Agreement.
ss.22. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
of which will be deemed an original document. This document will not be binding
on the parties, until such time as a counterpart of this document has been
executed by each party and a copy thereof delivered to the other party to this
Agreement.
ss.23. RADON GAS NOTIFICATION. In accordance with the requirements of
Florida Statute ss.404.056
RADON GAS: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when
it is accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may
present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time.
Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been
found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding
radon and radon testing may be obtained from the local county public
health center.
ss.24. REASONABLENESS OF CONSENT. Any consent or approval which is
required or permitted to be given hereunder by either Seller or Buyer will
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by such party.
ss.25. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence for all purposes of
this Agreement. Any time period specified herein which would otherwise end on a
weekend day or a legal holiday will, for the purpose of this Agreement, be
deemed to instead end on the next business day following such weekend day or
legal holiday.
ss.26. PURCHASE OF COMPANION PROPERTY. As of the Effective Date, Buyer and
PDI Orlando III Limited Partnership, an affiliate of Seller, have entered into a
separate Real Estate Purchase Agreement ("Companion Contract") relating to
Buyer's purchase of the Main Street Square shopping center located in Fern Park,
Florida ("Companion Property"). It is Seller's and Buyer's contemplation that
the closing of Buyer's purchase of the Property under this Agreement will occur
simultaneously with the closing of Buyer's purchase of the Companion Property
under the Companion Contract. It will be a condition precedent to each of
Seller's and Buyer's obligations under this Agreement that there occur a
simultaneous closing of the Companion Property under the terms of the Companion
Contract.
ss.27. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ON ADJACENT LAND. If at any time during the
five year period after the date of closing, Seller receives a bona fide written
offer from a third party ("Third Party Offer") to purchase all or any part of
the land which is described in attached Exhibit N ("Adjacent Land"), and if
Seller, in good faith, is willing to accept such Third Party Offer, then Seller
will give written notice to Buyer of the existence and terms of such Third Party
Offer and will thereafter afford Buyer a period of five days in which to elect
to purchase the portion of the Adjacent Land which is the subject of such Third
Party Offer, on the identical terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party
Offer. If Buyer gives Seller written notice within the aforementioned five-day
period that Buyer so elects to purchase the subject portion of the Adjacent
Land, then Buyer will proceed to purchase such portion of the Adjacent Land from
Seller upon the identical terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party
Offer. If Buyer declines to purchase the subject portion of the Adjacent Land or
fails to respond to Seller's notice within the aforementioned five day period,
then, in either such event, Seller will thereafter be free to sell the subject
portion of the Adjacent Land on the terms and conditions set forth in the Third
Party Offer; provided, however, that if the subject portion of the Adjacent Land
is not sold within 90 days after the outside date for closing specified in such
Third Party Offer on the terms and conditions specified in such Third Party
Offer, then Seller will be again obligated to offer the subject portion of the
Adjacent Land to Buyer as hereinabove provided. The right of first refusal
granted to Buyer hereunder will continue to apply throughout the five year term
set forth above to all portions of the Adjacent Land which are not sold to a
third party in accordance with the provisions of this ss.27.
To the extent any of the existing Leases of the Real Property impose any
restrictions on the manner in which the Adjacent Land is to be used or
developed, then Seller agrees that it will fully comply with such restrictions
and will require any of its successors-in-interest to also comply with such
restrictions. If requested by Buyer, Seller will place of public record a
document or documents, in form and content reasonably satisfactory to, Buyer
subjecting the Adjacent Land to such restrictions.
ss.28. UNUSED DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS. There are currently unused development
rights under the development order applicable to the Real Property permitting
38,552 rentable square feet of additional retail development to be built on the
portion of the Land located between the K-Mart and Sears Home Life stores. Those
unused development rights will be deemed included in the Intangible Property to
be transferred to Buyer under this Agreement. Seller agrees that, it will use
reasonable efforts to prosecute the receipt of additional development rights
under the aforementioned development order and, to the extent it is successful
in further increasing its developments rights under the aforementioned
development order, Seller will assign to Buyer the first 9,241 rentable square
feet of new development rights so obtained by Seller, without any further cost
or obligation being owed to Seller by Buyer hereunder.
ss.29. BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO LEASE. Seller intends to enter into a Lease
Agreement with Blockbuster Video, Inc., pursuant to which Blockbuster Video,
Inc. will agree to lease approximately 5,348 rentable square feet of space in
the Real Property. The terms of the Blockbuster Video, Inc. lease will be
subject to Buyer's review and approval during the Inspection Period. If Buyer so
approves the Blockbuster Video, Inc. lease and if Buyer thereafter closes on its
purchase of the Property, it will assume and agree to abide by all of the
obligations placed upon the "Landlord" under the Lease Agreement with
Blockbuster Video, Inc. Buyer acknowledges that it is a necessary requirement of
the terms of the Lease Agreement with Blockbuster Video, Inc. that certain
existing tenants be relocated form the leased premises to be leased by
Blockbuster Video, Inc. (such tenants being Treasure Coast, Dr. Massaglia and
Dr. Ziernba). Buyer will contribute $40,000 towards the cost of relocating Dr.
Massaglia to other space in the Real Property and will also pay a commission of
$33,000 to Pizzuti Realty of Florida Inc. in connection with the Blockbuster
Video, Inc. lease (such commission to be paid within ten days after Blockbuster
Video, Inc. opens for business in the Real Property and begins paying rent). Any
other costs associated with the vacation of any of the existing tenants from
Blockbuster Video, Inc.'s leased premises (that being, Treasure Coast, Dr.
Massaglia and Dr. Ziernba) will be paid by Seller within 30 days after Seller's
receipt of a detailed invoice from Buyer setting forth the amount of the
expenses incurred Buyer in connection with such vacation. If Buyer is unable to
effect the relocation of the requisite tenants from the leased premises to be
leased by Blockbuster Video, Inc., with the end result that the lease with
Blockbuster Video, Inc. becomes null and void, then Buyer will have no
obligation to make any payments to either Dr. Massaglia or Pizzuti Realty of
Florida Inc. under this ss.29.
ss.30. AUDIT LETTER. Seller acknowledges that Buyer, as a publicly-traded
real estate investment trust, is required to have the financial operations of
the various properties owned by it audited by KPMG Peat Marwick, LLP and the
results thereof filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Seller agrees

Property available for audit by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP at all reasonable times
after the Effective Date and prior to the date which is six months after the
date of closing Buyer will provide Seller with at least 15 days prior advance
notice concerning the conduct of any such audit by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP. In
addition, Seller hereby agrees that it will, at the request of Buyer and KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP, execute an Audit Representation Letter in substantially the
form and content attached hereto as Exhibit O and will deliver such executed
Audit Representation Letter to KPMG Peat Marwick LLP within 15 days after KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP's request for the same.

the Land to be conveyed to Buyer hereunder contains part (but not all) of Parcel
4 of the First Replat of Port St. Lucie, Section 67. The portion of Parcel 4 to
be conveyed to Buyer is depicted on the site plan attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit A. Within five business days after the Effective Date, Seller will
prepare and submit to Buyer for its approval a legal description of that portion
of Parcel 4 to be conveyed to Buyer hereunder as part of the Land. Following the

Buyer as a separate, free-standing tax parcel, which will be developable by
Buyer as a retail building upon Buyer's compliance with all applicable
governmental requirements (other than any requirements relating to such
replatting). All costs of effecting such replatting will be borne by Seller.
Prior to its finalization of any such replatting, Seller will provide all

REAL ESTATE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Real Estate Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by PDI Orlando
III Limited Partnership, an Ohio limited partnership ("Seller"), and RRC
Acquisitions, Inc. ("Buyer"). The "Effective Date" of this Agreement will be the
date on which both Seller and Buyer have executed this Agreement. For the
parties' convenience in reviewing this Agreement, all defined terms used in this
Agreement will be highlighted by boldface print when first defined in this
Agreement.
Seller and Buyer hereby agree as follows:
ss.1. SALE OF THE PROPERTY. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller will sell to Buyer the
following described property. All references herein to the "Land",
"Improvements", "Personal Property", "Leases" and "Intangible Property" will
have the meanings attributed to such terms in this ss.1.
(a) Land. The approximately 8.9 acre tract of land located off of U.S.
17-92 in Fern Park, Florida, which tract is more particularly
described in Exhibit A, together with all rights and interests
appurtenant thereto, including without limitation, all water and
mineral rights, development rights, easements and rights-of-way.
(b) Improvements. All buildings and other improvements
------------
located on the Land, including, without limitation,
the shopping center buildings, which contain
approximately 107,159 square feet of rentable space,
and which are collectively known as the "Main Street
Square Shopping Center", together with all parking
areas and other site and accessory improvements
located on the Land and all systems, facilities and
fixtures located within such shopping center
buildings.
(c) Personal Property. All tools, machinery, appliances,
-----------------
fixtures (to the extent not part of the
Improvements), floor and window coverings,
furnishings, signs, equipment, inventory, supplies
and tangible personal property owned by Seller and
used in connection with the operation of and located
on the Real Property, as the same are more
particularly described in Exhibit B.
(d) Leases. All leases with any existing tenants of the Real Property
(together with any amendments, extensions, guaranties or
modifications to such leases), as the same are more particularly
described in the rent roll attached hereto as Exhibit C;
(e) Intangible Property. Any rights in and to those,
--------------------
contracts, agreements, utility arrangements,
warranties, guarantees, indemnities, claims,
licenses, applications, permits, construction
warranties, certificates of occupancy, plans and
specifications, and other similar items and
intangible rights used in connection with or relating
to the Land, Improvements, Personal Property and
Leases (including, without limitation, the
non-exclusive right to use the name "Main Street
Square"), as the same are more particularly described
in Exhibit D. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the only contracts to be
assigned to and assumed by Buyer and, hence, included
within the definition of "Intangible Property" for
the purposes of this Agreement, will be those
contracts identified on attached Exhibit D, which
either: (i) are not cancelable upon 30 days or less
notice; or (ii) although cancelable upon 30 days or
less notice, are nonetheless specifically designated
by Buyer in a written notice to Seller as being
contracts which Buyer desires to have assigned to it
at closing (collectively, the "Surviving Contracts").
The Land and Improvements are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Real
Property". The Real Property, Personal Property, Leases and Intangible Property
are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Property".
ss.2. DEPOSIT. Within two business days after the Effective Date, Buyer
will deposit with the law firm of Maguire, Voorhis & Wells, P.A. ("Escrow
Agent") cash in the sum of $50,000 as a good faith deposit. Within two business
days after the date of Buyer's satisfaction of its inspection contingency under
ss.5, Buyer will deposit with Escrow Agent cash in an additional sum of
$100,000, which amount will also be held pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. All amounts deposited with the Escrow Agent hereunder will be held in
an interest-bearing account, with all references herein to the "Deposit"
specifically including not only the initial principal sum of $50,000, but also
the additional principal sum of $100,000 (once paid to the Escrow Agent), and
all interest earned on such principal sums. The Deposit will be disbursed in the
following manner:
(a) If the closing occurs in the manner contemplated in this Agreement,
then the Deposit will be paid to Seller and applied as a credit
against the Purchase Price payable at closing;
(b) If this Agreement is terminated under ss.5 as a result of Buyer's
failure to satisfy or waive its inspection contingency under ss.5,
then the Deposit will be returned to Buyer;
(c) If the closing fails to occur as a result of Seller's
default hereunder, then the Deposit will be returned
to Buyer, without prejudice to Buyer's right to
pursue the remedy of specific performance to redress
such default; and
(d) If the closing fails to occur as a result of
Buyer's default hereunder, then the Deposit will be
paid to Seller as full and complete liquidated
damages to redress such default.
ss.3. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price for the Property will be
$5,395,348 ("Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price will be paid in cash at
closing by means of a federal funds wire transfer. The Purchase Price payable at
closing will be subject to such prorations, credits, allowances and other
adjustments as are provided for in this Agreement.
ss.4. ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS. In addition to the Purchase Price payable
to Seller at closing, Buyer will make the following additional payments
("Additional Payments") to Seller at the times and under the circumstances
set forth below.
(a)Vacant Space. Buyer will pay to Seller at closing an amount equal to
$15 for every rentable square foot of space in excess of 3,766 rentable
square feet, which is both vacant and unleased in the Real Property as
of the date of closing (if Park Dry Cleaners is still in possession of
its space on the date of closing, no such payment will be made with
respect to its space). The payment referred to in this subparagraph
will be paid in cash at closing by means of a federal funds wire
transfer.
(b)Dry Cleaner Space. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Seller is
currently in the process of effecting an eviction of Park Dry Cleaners
from Suite 182 of the Real Property, consisting of 1,400 rentable
square feet. Upon the earlier of (i) Seller's successful completion of
such eviction action or (ii) Buyer's request that Seller dismiss such
eviction action because Buyer has reached an acceptable compromise for
Park Dry Cleaners' continued occupancy of the Real Property, an
Additional Payment will be due from Buyer to Seller in an amount equal
to $287,597.03, less the amount of any Additional Payments previously
made with respect to the subject space under subparagraph (a), above.
The above amount will not be reduced in any fashion by any credit for
any Additional Payment previously made pursuant to subparagraph (a),
above, because the number set forth in the immediately preceding
sentence has already been computed net of a credit for the applicable
Additional Payments made at closing under subparagraph (a), above.
Unless otherwise requested by Buyer, Seller will, at all times after
the date of closing and at its sole cost and expense, continue to
prosecute the eviction action against Park Dry Cleaners in a diligent
and expeditious fashion. Buyer will be required to cooperate with
Seller in such eviction action, although Buyer will not be required to
expend any funds in connection with such eviction action.
(c)Froggers. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Seller is currently in the
process of negotiating with Froggers Restaurant for the lease of space
in the Real Property. Buyer hereby agrees that, to the extent the
conditions hereinafter set forth with respect to any lease to Froggers
Restaurant are satisfied within six months after the date of closing,
then an additional payment will be due from Buyer to Seller in an
amount equal to the Effective Gross Income produced under the Froggers
lease (in an amount up to, but not exceeding $11 per rentable square
foot, plus operating expense reimbursement recoveries), divided by a
capitalization rate of 12.5%, less an amount equal to the sum of: (A)
one-third of the first $150,000 of Buyer's cost of constructing tenant
improvements to the Froggers Restaurant space; plus (B) 100% of all
such tenant improvement costs in excess of $150,000.
For the purpose of this Agreement, "Effective Gross Income" means the
average annual Base Rent and Operating Expense Payments (as those terms
are hereinafter defined, but exclusive of any portion of any Operating
Expense Payments attributable to a 4% management fee), payable by the
applicable tenant over the initial term of any such lease, less an
amount equal to all free rent and other rent concessions made to the
tenant under the applicable lease (amortized ratably over each year of
the lease) and less a credit reserve of 5% of the average annual Base
Rent and Operating Expense Payments due under any such lease. The
amount of any payment otherwise required to be paid under this
subparagraph (c) will, however, be reduced by an amount equal to the
amount of any Additional Payment previously paid to Seller with respect
to the subject leased space under subparagraph (a).
The Additional Payments due to Seller from Buyer under this
subparagraph (c) will be paid within 30 days after the satisfaction of
all of the following conditions with respect to the Froggers Restaurant
lease:
(A)A lease, in form and content reasonably acceptable to Buyer, has
been executed with Froggers Restaurant (which lease must, in all
events be executed within six months after the date of closing);
and
(B)Froggers Restaurant has accepted its leased premises and opened
for business therein and begun paying rent.
The terms of any lease produced with respect to Froggers Restaurant must be
acceptable to both Seller and Buyer. Seller agrees that it will pay all leasing
commissions due on any lease for Froggers Restaurant. Buyer will be obligated to
pay the cost of all tenant improvements and other costs related to the Froggers
Restaurant lease (subject to Seller's contribution to the Froggers Restaurant
tenant improvement costs under subparagraph (b)(ii), above).
ss.5. INSPECTION CONTINGENCY. Buyer's obligations under this Agreement are
contingent upon Buyer determining, on or before March 25, 1997 ("Inspection
Period"), that the Property is acceptable to Buyer. Seller will permit Buyer and
Buyer's agents and contractors access to the Property and to all files, books
and records maintained by Seller with respect to the Property at all reasonable
times during the Inspection Period, so that Buyer can conduct all such tests,
studies and inspections of the Property and review all such files, books and
records as Buyer deems appropriate. All files, books and records maintained by
Seller with respect o the Property will be made available for inspection by
Buyer and Buyer's agents and contractors at Seller's offices at Suite 1350, 255
South Orange Avenue, Orlando, Florida. During the Inspection Period, Buyer will
also be permitted to interview all tenants under the Leases, provided that it
provide advance notice to Seller of the times of any such interviews and permits
a representative of Seller a reasonable opportunity to be present during such
interviews.
Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any liability or loss
incurred by Seller as a result of Buyer's activities at the Property and to
promptly restore any damage caused to the Property as a result of such
activities. If Buyer fails to timely satisfy or waive its inspection contingency
under this ss.5 then, within ten days after the expiration of the Inspection
Period, Buyer will deliver to Seller copies of all written reports received by
Buyer with respect to the various tests, studies and inspections conducted by
Buyer or its agents or contractors with respect to the Property and will return
to Seller copies of all of Seller's files, books and records made by Buyer or
its agents or contractors during such Inspection Period.
In order to further facilitate Buyer's determination of the acceptability of the
Property, Seller will, within three business days after the Effective Date,
provide the following materials to Buyer:
(a) Copies of all Leases;
(b) Copies of all environmental reports in its possession with
respect to the Real Property;
(c) The most current survey of the Real Property; (d) The most recent
title policy for the Real Property; (e) Copies of financial operating
statements for the Property (that
is, income and expense statements) for the 1994, 1995 and 1996
calendar years;
(f) Copies of real estate tax bills for the Real Property for the
calendar years 1994, 1995 and 1996;
(g) Copies of any existing service contracts related to the Property;
(h) Copies of utilities bills relating to the operation of the Real
Property for the calendar year 1996;
(i) Copies of all certificates of occupancy in its possession with
respect to the Improvements;
(j) Copies of all plans and specifications related to the
Improvements including, where appropriate, civil, structural and
mechanical drawings;
(k) Copies of all expense recovery reconciliation's for the calendar
years 1995 and 1996;
(l) Seller's operating budget for the calendar year 1996;
(m) Evidence that all sales tax payments with respect to rents
payable for the Real Property are current.
If Buyer gives Seller written notice within the Inspection Period that the
results of its inspections are acceptable to Buyer, then Buyer will be obligated
to pay the additional $100,000 deposit to Escrow Agent at the time and in the
manner contemplated in ss.2 hereof and the parties will thereafter proceed to
close Buyer's purchase of the Property in the manner contemplated in this
Agreement. If Buyer gives Seller written notice within the Inspection Period
that the results of its inspections are unacceptable to Buyer, for any reason
whatsoever (as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion) or if Buyer fails to
give any written notice concerning the acceptability of its inspections to
Seller during the Inspection Period, then in either such event, the Deposit will
be returned to Buyer, this Agreement will thereupon automatically terminate and
the parties will be relieved of all further rights, liabilities and obligations
under this Agreement, except for Buyer's indemnification, restoration and other
obligations expressly placed upon it under this ss.5
ss.6. TITLE COMMITMENT. Within fifteen days after the Effective Date,
Seller will cause First American Title Insurance Company or some other
nationally-recognized title insurance company acceptable to Buyer ("Title
Company") to furnish to Buyer a commitment for an ALTA Form B Owner's Title
Insurance Policy in the face amount of the Purchase Price, together with legible
copies of all title exceptions noted in such title commitment ("Title
Commitment"). The Title Commitment will show that Seller has marketable fee
simple title to the Property, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances,
excepting only those liens and encumbrances which are approved by Buyer in the
manner hereinafter set forth in this ss.6. If Buyer wishes to obtain a survey of
the Real Property (other than any existing survey furnished to Buyer pursuant to
ss.5), it will be required to do so at its sole expense.
If the Title Commitment (or any survey obtained by Buyer) discloses any
exceptions to title which are unacceptable to Buyer, then Buyer will have seven
days after its receipt of such Title Commitment in which to deliver in writing
to Seller any objection which Buyer may have to any such title exceptions
("Title Notice"). Buyer will be deemed to have approved any title exceptions
appearing in the Title Commitment, which are not objected to in a timely
delivered Title Notice and, thereafter, such additional title exceptions will
also be treated as "Permitted Exceptions" for the purposes of this Agreement.
If Buyer objects to any such title exception by delivering a Title Notice to
Seller within the aforementioned seven-day period, then Seller, at its expense,
will use its reasonable efforts to satisfy the objections made by Buyer in its
Title Notice within five days after Seller's receipt of the Title Notice. If
Seller fails to satisfy all of such objections within the aforementioned
five-day period then Buyer will have the option of either: (a) terminating its
obligations with respect to the purchase of the Property by giving written
notice of termination to Seller within three days after the expiration of the
aforementioned five-day period, in which event, the Deposit will be returned to
Buyer and, thereafter, neither party will have any further rights, liabilities
or obligations hereunder with respect to the Property, except for Buyer's
indemnification, restoration and other obligations expressly placed upon it
under ss.5; or (b) waiving its objections under the Title Notice and proceeding
to close on the purchase of the Property. If Seller is successful in satisfying
any of Buyer's objections, then Seller will deliver to Buyer proof of such
satisfaction and will also deliver to Buyer the Title Company's related Title
Commitment endorsement.
ss.7. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Within 30 days after the Effective Date,
Landlord will use its best efforts to deliver to Tenant an estoppel certificate
("Estoppel Certificate"), executed by each tenant under the Leases and dated not
earlier than the Effective Date. Such Estoppel Certificates will address the
status of rent payments, tenant improvements, defaults and other matters
relating to the Leases, and will, except as otherwise agreed to by Buyer, be in
substantially the form and content attached hereto as Exhibit H. Buyer's
obligations under this Agreement will be expressly contingent upon Buyer
receiving executed Estoppel Certificates from the "Anchor Tenants" (as that term
is hereinafter defined) and from those other tenants occupying at least 90% of
the remaining rentable square footage contained within the Real Property. For
the purpose of this Agreement, "Anchor Tenants" will mean Winn Dixie and
Walgreens.
ss.8. CLOSING PRORATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS. If Seller's sale of the Property
to Buyer closes in the manner contemplated in this Agreement, then Buyer's and
Seller's respective economic rights and obligations with respect to the Property
will be determined in the manner described in this ss.8. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all of the income and expense prorations contemplated
hereunder will be calculated, apportioned and prorated between Buyer and Seller
as of 11:59 p.m. on the day prior to the date of closing.
(a) Real Estate Taxes. Seller will pay or credit on the
-------------------
Purchase Price the amount of all delinquent real
estate taxes and installments of special insessments,
including penalties and interest thereon, that are a
lien on the Real Property as of the date of closing.
Seller will also credit on the Purchase Price all
unpaid real estate taxes and installments of special
assessments which are not yet due for years prior to
the closing and a portion of such taxes and
installments for the year of closing, prorated
through the date of closing. The proration of the
undetermined taxes and installments of special
assessments will be based upon a 365 day year and
upon the most recently available tax use, rate and
valuation for the Real Property. The proration of
taxes and installments of assessments hereunder will
be reprorated upon request by either party upon the
issuance of the actual tax bill for the year of
closing and will then be based upon the amount of
such taxes and installments of assessments which are
due on the earliest payment date specified by
applicable law. Any request for a reproration
hereunder must be made on or before December 31 of
the year of closing.
(b) Rents. All rents and other payments due from the tenants under the
Leases will be prorated in the manner hereinafter set forth in this
subparagraph (b).
(i)Base Rents. Seller will credit on the Purchase Price that
portion of all Base Rents (as that term is hereinafter
defined) payable for the calendar month of closing, which
are attributable to the period from and after the date of
closing. Seller will be entitled to retain any Base Rents
collected by it prior to or after the date of closing,
which are attributable either to the month of closing or
any months preceding the month of closing. If following the
date of closing, Buyer collects Base Rents which are
attributable to the period prior to the date of closing,
then, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Buyer
will immediately pay such Base Rents to Seller. If
following the date of closing, Seller collects Base Rents
which are attributable to any month after the month of
closing, then Seller will immediately pay such Base Rents
to Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any Base Rents collected by Buyer from
any tenant after the date of closing will first be applied
by Buyer toward the payment of Base Rents owed to Buyer by
such tenant for months after the month of closing, and
then, and only then, will any excess Base Rents collected
by Buyer be paid to Seller under this subparagraph (i). For
the purpose of this Agreement, "Base Rents" will mean any
fixed, minimum rent payable by tenants under the Leases
excluding, however, any Operating Expense Payments (as that
term is hereinafter defined).
(ii) Operating Expense Payments. Seller will credit on the
Purchase Price that portion of any Operating Expense
Payments (as that term is hereinafter defined) payable for
the calendar month of closing, which are attributable to
the period from and after the date of closing. Seller will
be entitled to any Operating Expense Payments which are
both paid periodically on an estimated basis by any tenants
under the Leases and are collected by it prior to or after
the date of closing and which are further attributable
either to the month of closing or any months preceding the
month of closing. If following the date of closing, Buyer
collects any Operating Expense Payments which are paid
periodically on an estimated basis by any tenants under the
Leases and which are attributable to the period prior to
the date of closing, then, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, Buyer will immediately pay such Operating
Expense Payments to Seller. If, following the date of
closing, Seller collects any Operating Expense Payments,
which are paid periodically on an estimated basis by any
tenants under the Leases, and which are attributable to any
month after the month of closing, then Seller will
immediately pay such Operating Expenses Payments to Buyer.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
any Operating Expenses Payments, which are paid
periodically on an estimated basis by any tenants under the
Leases, and which are collected by Buyer from any tenant
after the date of closing, will first be applied by Buyer
toward the payment of any Operating Expense Payments owed
to Buyer by such tenant for months after the month of
closing, and then, and only then, will any excess Operating
Expense Payments collected by Buyer be paid to Seller under
this subparagraph (ii). With respect to any Operating
Expense Payments, which are paid periodically on an
estimated basis by any tenants under the Leases, Buyer will
make a final reconciliation of the actual expenses incurred
in connection with the Real Property for any fiscal period
which includes the date of closing, at the time and in the
manner required under the terms of the Leases. Within 30
days after the completion of each such reconciliation,
Buyer will provide written notice to Seller of the amount
of such reconciliation and the portion of the actual
Operating Expense Payments of the subject tenant which are
attributable to the period prior to the date of closing
(with such determination being made strictly on the basis
of the number of days prior to the date of closing which
are included in the fiscal period for which such
reconciliation is being made). If Buyer collects Operating
Expense Payments from any tenant under any Lease which,
when added to all periodic, estimated Operating Expense
Payments collected from such tenant by Buyer after the date
of closing (but which are attributable to the fiscal period
for which such final reconciliation is being made), exceed
the amount of the Tenant's actual Operating Expense Payment
obligation for the portion of the subject fiscal period
falling after the date of closing, then Buyer will, within
30 days after its collection of such Operating Expense
Payments, pay to Seller the amount of such excess. If Buyer
is required as a result of any such final reconciliation to
make any refund to any tenants under the Leases for any
excess periodic Operating Expense Payments made by any such
tenants under the Leases, then Seller will pay to Buyer,
within 30 days after Seller's receipt of Buyer's
determination that any such refund is due, an amount equal
to that portion of the refund which is attributable to the
period prior to the date of closing (with such
determination being made strictly on the basis of the
number of days prior to the date of closing which are
included in the fiscal period for which such reconciliation
is being made).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
to the extent any Lease requires any tenant to make any
Operating Expense Payments other than on an estimated,
periodic basis (for example, an obligation of a tenant to
reimburse the owner of the Real Property by way of an
annual lump sum payment for its allocable share of the
actual real estate taxes or insurance premiums paid by such
owner), and if any such Operating Expense Payment relates
to expenses which are attributable to periods both before
and after the date of closing, then: (i) if any such
Operating Expense Payment is payable to Seller prior to the
date of closing, Seller will credit on the Purchase Price
the portion of such Operating Expense Payment which is
attributable to the period from and after the date of
closing; and (ii) if such Operating Expense Payment is
payable after the date of closing, then Buyer will, within
30 days after its collection of any such Operating Expense
Payments, make a payment to Seller of an amount equal to
that portion of the Operating Expense Payment which is
attributable to the period prior to the date of closing.
For the purposes of this Agreement, "Operating Expense
Payments" will mean all payments made by the tenants under
the Leases which are stated to be applicable towards common
area maintenance charges, insurance premiums, real estate
taxes and similar expenses associated with the Real
Property.
(iii) Overage Rents. Overage Rents (as that term is
hereinafter defined) will be separately prorated under each
Lease on the basis of the fiscal period set forth in each
Lease for the payment of such Overage Rents. Any Overage
Rents received by Seller or Buyer before or after the date
of closing will be retained by the recipient of such
payments, pending a final reconciliation based upon the
actual Overage Rents owed for any fiscal period which
includes the date of closing. Buyer will make the final
reconciliation at the time and in the manner required under
the terms of each Lease. Within 30 days after the
completion of each such final reconciliation, Buyer will
provide written notice to Seller of the amount of such
final reconciliation and the portion of the actual Overage
Rents for the subject tenant which are attributable to the
period prior to the date of closing. If Buyer actually
collects Overage Rents from any tenant under any Lease,
which, when added to all estimated, periodic Overage Rents
collected from such tenant by Buyer after the date of
closing (but which are attributable to the fiscal period
for which such final reconciliation is being made), exceed
the amount of the Tenant's actual Overage Rent obligation
for the portion of the subject fiscal period falling after
the date of closing, then Buyer will, within 30 days after
its collection of such Overage Rents, pay to Seller the
amount of such excess.
(c) Utilities. Coincident with the closing of Buyer's purchase of
the Property, Seller will notify all utility companies servicing the
Real Property of the change in ownership and direct that all future
billings be made to Buyer at the address of the Real Property (or
such other address as Buyer may direct). Seller will obtain final
meter readings for all utilities as of the date of closing and will
have final bills rendered directly to Seller. In the event that
final meter readings cannot be obtained due to the utility
companies' internal operating procedures. Seller will reimburse
Buyer for any payments to such utilities applicable to the period
prior to the closing date immediately upon receipt of written
evidence of such payments by Buyer.
(d) Security Deposits. Seller will pay to Buyer at
------------------
closing (or credit on the Purchase Price payable at
closing) an amount equal to all security deposits
which, as of the date of closing, Seller is legally
required to ultimately refund to tenants under the
Leases. A listing of all such security deposits as
of the Effective Date is included in the rent roll
attached hereto as Exhibit C. The listing of such
security deposits will be updated by Seller as of the
date of closing.
(e) Accounts Receivable. All accounts receivable related
--------------------
to the Property, which are attributable to the period
prior to the date of the closing (including, without
limitation, those related to delinquent payments of
Base Rent, Overage Rents and Operating Expense
Payments by any former or existing tenant of the Real
Property), will remain the property of Seller and
Seller may pursue the collection of such accounts
receivable by all available legal means. All
accounts receivable related to the Property which are
attributable to the period from and after the date of
closing will be the property of Buyer. A listing of
all accounts receivable for existing tenants of the
Real Property as of the Effective Date is attached to
this Agreement as Exhibit F. The listing of such
accounts receivable will be updated by Seller as of
the date of closing. Buyer will at all times after
the date of closing continue to invoice any existing
tenant of the Real Property for all accounts
receivable attributable to any such tenant's
occupancy of the Real Property prior to the date of
closing and will fully cooperate with Seller in
Seller's efforts to collect all accounts receivable
which are the property of Seller hereunder.
(f) Payments under Surviving Contracts. Buyer will be
-------------------------------------
entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price for
all sums, which are due and unpaid under the
Surviving Contracts as of the date of closing, and
which are attributable to the period prior to the
date of closing. Similarly, Seller will be entitled
to receive an additional payment at closing to the
extent it has paid any sum under any Surviving
Contract, which is attributable to the period from
and after the date of closing.
(g) Leasing Costs. Except as otherwise expressly
---------------
provided herein, Buyer will be entitled to a credit
against the Purchase Price at closing for the amount
of all unpaid costs and expenses which were incurred
(or are to be incurred) in connection with any Leases
executed, modified or extended by Seller prior to the
Effective Date, including, without limitation, all
costs and expenses for tenant improvements (either
completed or to be completed) and brokerage
commissions (collectively "Leasing Costs").
Following its receipt of such Purchase Price credit,
Buyer will thereafter be solely responsible for the
payment of any such Leasing Costs. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer will
be liable for and will not be entitled to any credit
at closing for any Leasing Costs incurred after the
Effective Date, which are either: (i) identified in
Exhibit G; (ii) set forth as Buyer's obligations
underss.13; or (iii) otherwise hereinafter expressly
assumed in writing by Buyer.
(h) Miscellaneous Items of Income and Expense. All other
------------------------------------------
items of income and expense related to the Property
will be prorated through the date of closing, with
Seller being entitled to receive or obligated to pay
(with any required payment being made at or prior to
closing), as the case may be, all such items of
income or expense attributable to the period prior to
the date of closing, and Buyer being entitled to
receive or obligated to pay, as the case may be, all
such items of income and expenses attributable to the
period from and after the date of closing.
(i) Items Not to be Prorated. No proration or credit
--------------------------
will be made or given hereunder for: (i) insurance
premiums; (ii) employee salaries, benefits, bonuses,
payroll taxes or other employee costs; and (iii) any
amount owing under any contracts related to the
operation of the Property, other than the Surviving
Contracts. Seller will, on or before the date of
closing, terminate all agreements and pay all accrued
costs related to such items.
For purposes of this ss.8, the determination of whether an item is "attributable
to" a particular period will, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be
made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently
applied.
ss.9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER. For the purpose of

EXCEPT FOR THOSE LIMITED REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS
ss.9, BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT IS PURCHASING PROPERTY IN ITS "AS
IS, WHERE IS," CONDITION. BUYER WILL RELY SOLELY UPON ITS OWN INSPECTIONS
(INCLUDING THOSE MADE FOR IT BY ITS AGENTS AND CONTRACTORS) WITH REGARD TO THE
CONDITION AND CHARACTER OF PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE REAL PROPERTY AND THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF ALL
STRUCTURAL AND NONSTRUCTURAL COMPONENTS AND ELEMENTS OF THE IMPROVEMENTS. EXCEPT

Similarly, the general warranty deed will convey for

ss.13. INTERIM OPERATIONS. During the period from and after the Effective
Date and prior to the date of the closing, Seller will manage and maintain the
Property in accordance with its previously established practices. Seller will
not execute, modify or terminate any Lease, without first obtaining the prior
written consent of Buyer. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer will,
in all events, have a period of five business days in which to review and
approve or disapprove any lease or modification or termination thereof submitted
to it by Seller hereunder. If Buyer consents to Seller taking any such action
with respect to any Lease, and if the sale of the Property thereafter closes in
the manner contemplated in this Agreement, then, except as otherwise expressly
agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller, Buyer will be deemed to have assumed and
will pay for all costs incurred with respect to any such Lease, including
without limitation, all tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions related
thereto.
ss.14. BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. Seller will at closing pay a commission to
Pizzuti Realty of Florida Inc. pursuant to a separate agreement. Except as
otherwise expressly provided above, each of the parties hereto represents and
warrants to the other that it has not contacted or entered into any agreement
with any real estate broker, agent, finder or any other party in connection with
this transaction or taken any other action which could result in any fee being
due and payable to any real estate broker, finder, or other party with respect
to the transaction contemplated hereunder. Each party indemnifies and agrees to
hold the other party harmless from any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by or
claimed against the other party by reason of a breach of this representation and
warranty. The provisions of this ss.14 will survive the closing.
ss.15. RISK OF LOSS. The risk of loss to the Real Property from the
occurrence of a casualty or a taking by any public authority under the power or
right of eminent domain (or by the threat thereof) will be borne by Seller until
the closing. If the Real Property or any part thereof is substantially damaged
or destroyed as a result of such casualty or is so taken before this transaction
closes, then Seller will promptly notify Buyer of the occurrence of such event
and Buyer will have the sole option of either: (a) proceeding with the closing
and receiving all insurance proceeds or condemnation awards payable as a result
of such casualty or taking, plus, with respect to any casualty, a payment from
Seller in an amount equal to the deductible amount of any insurance policy
covering any such casualty; or (b) terminating this Agreement. This Agreement
will terminate upon Buyer's delivery to Seller, within the time frame set forth
below, written notice of termination pursuant to clause (b), above. If this
Agreement is so terminated, then the Deposit will be returned to Buyer and,
thereafter, the parties will be relieved of any further rights, liabilities or
obligations under this Agreement, except for Buyer's indemnification and
restoration obligations under this ss.5. If Buyer fails to make the required
election pursuant to this ss.15 within ten days after its receipt of Seller's
written notice of the occurrence of any such casualty or taking, then Buyer will
be deemed to have elected to close the transaction pursuant to clause (a) of
this ss.15.
ss.16. DEFAULTS/REMEDIES. If Seller defaults in the performance of any of
its obligations hereunder and such default continues for a period of ten days
after written notice of the alleged existence of such default is given to
Seller, then Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, pursue the remedy of
specific performance to redress such default. If Buyer defaults on the
performance of any of its obligations hereunder and such default continues for a
period of ten days after written notice of the alleged existence of such default
is given to Buyer, then Seller will be entitled to receive the entire amount of
the Deposit as full and complete liquidated damages to redress such default; it
being expressly acknowledged by the parties hereto that Seller's damages in the
event of a default by Buyer hereunder are uncertain and difficult to ascertain,
and that the receipt of the Deposit constitutes a reasonable liquidation of such
damages and are intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller will not be
deemed to be in default under this Agreement if any fact or circumstance occurs
after the Effective Date which renders any of Seller's representations and
warranties untrue or inaccurate, so long as any such fact or circumstance is not
within the reasonable control of Seller.
ss.17. ATTORNEY'S FEES. If any legal action is commenced by either Seller
or Buyer to enforce its rights hereunder, then all reasonable attorney's fees
and other expenses incurred by the prevailing party in such action will be
immediately due and payable to the prevailing party by the non-prevailing party.
ss.18. NOTICES. All notices required or permitted to be given under this
Agreement must be in writing and must be delivered to Seller or Buyer at its

Deposit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the
event of doubt as to Escrow Agent's duties or liabilities under this Agreement,
Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion: (a) continue to hold the subject
matter of this escrow until the parties mutually agree to the disbursement
thereof or until a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction determines the
rights of the parties therein; or (b) deposit the same with the Clerk of Circuit
Court of Orange County Florida and upon notifying all parties concerned of such
action, all liability on the part of Escrow Agent will fully terminate except to
the extent of an accounting for items theretofore delivered out of escrow. In
the event of any legal action involving Buyer and Seller wherein Escrow Agent is
made a party by virtue of acting as Escrow Agent hereunder, or in the event of
the commencement of any legal action wherein Escrow Agent interpleads the
subject matter of this escrow, Escrow Agent will be entitled to recover
reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred, including, without limitation,
those incurred on appeal, if any, and in any administrative, mediation,
arbitration or bankruptcy proceedings, said fees and costs to be charged and
assessed as court costs in favor of the prevailing party and deducted from the
funds interpleaded. Buyer and Seller agree that the Escrow Agent will not be
liable to any party or person whatsoever for misdelivery of the Deposit, unless
such misdelivery is due to the willful breach of this Agreement or gross
negligence on the part of Escrow Agent, nor will Escrow Agent be liable for any
action taken by it, unless taken or suffered in willful disregard of its
obligations hereunder or with gross negligence. Additionally, Seller
acknowledges that in the event of any disagreement between Seller and Buyer
concerning the Deposit, the transaction under this Agreement or any other matter
related to the Property, Escrow Agent may continue to represent Buyer in
connection with such dispute, including negotiations, arbitration, mediation and
litigation, so long as Escrow Agent first delivers the Deposit to the Clerk of
Circuit Court of Orange County, Florida in the manner previously contemplated in
this ss.19.
ss.20. ASSIGNMENT OF AGREEMENT. Neither Buyer, nor Seller may
assign all or any part of this Agreement to any other party, without first

ss.27. PURCHASE OF COMPANION PROPERTY. As of the Effective Date, Buyer and
PDI St. Lucie I Limited Partnership, an affiliate of Seller, have entered into a
separate Real Estate Purchase Agreement ("Companion Contract") relating to
Buyer's purchase of the East Port Plaza shopping center located in Port St.
Lucie, Florida ("Companion Property"). It is Seller's and Buyer's contemplation
that the closing of Buyer's purchase of the Property under this Agreement will
occur simultaneously with the closing of Buyer's purchase of the Companion
Property under the Companion Contract. It will be a condition precedent to each
of Seller's and Buyer's obligations under this Agreement that there occur a
simultaneous closing of the Companion Property under the terms of the Companion
Contract.
ss.28. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ON ADJACENT LAND. If at any time during the
five year period after the date of closing, Seller receives a bona fide written
offer from a third party ("Third Party Offer") to purchase all or any part of
the land which is described in attached Exhibit N ("Adjacent Land"), and if
Seller, in good faith, is willing to accept such Third Party Offer on the terms
and conditions specified in such Third Party Offer, then Seller will give
written notice to Buyer of the existence and terms of such Third Party Offer and
will thereafter afford Buyer a period of five days in which to elect to purchase
the portion of the Adjacent Land which is the subject of such Third Party Offer,
on the identical terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party Offer. If
Buyer gives Seller written notice within the aforementioned five-day period that
Buyer so elects to purchase the subject portion of the Adjacent Land, then Buyer
will proceed to purchase such portion of the Adjacent Land from Seller upon the
identical terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party Offer. If Buyer
declines to purchase the subject portion of the Adjacent Land or fails to
respond to Seller's notice within the aforementioned five day period, then, in
either such event, Seller will thereafter be free to sell the subject portion of
the Adjacent Land on the terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party
Offer; provided, however, that if the subject portion of the Adjacent Land is
not sold within 90 days after the outside date for closing specified in such
Third Party Offer on the terms and conditions specified in such Third Party
Offer, then Seller will be again obligated to offer the subject portion of the
Adjacent Land to Buyer as hereinabove provided. The right of first refusal
granted to Buyer hereunder will continue to apply throughout the five year term
set forth above to all portions of the Adjacent Land which are not sold to a
third party in accordance with the provisions of this ss.28.
To the extent any of the existing Leases of the Real Property impose any
restrictions on the manner in which the Adjacent Land is to be used or
developed, then Seller agrees that it will fully comply with such restrictions
and will require any of its successors-in-interest to also comply with such
restrictions. If requested by Buyer, Seller will place of public record a
document or documents, inform and content reasonably satisfactory to, Buyer
subjecting the Adjacent Land to such restrictions.
ss.29. PARK DRY CLEANER SPILL. Seller and Buyer acknowledge that there has
been a spill of Hazardous Materials from the space in the Real Property
currently occupied by Park Dry Cleaners ("Park Dry Cleaners' Spill") and that
Seller has made application to the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection's Drycleaning Solvent Clean-Up Program to cover the cost of the
required remediation of such spill. A Phase III environmental report prepared by
PSI and dated as of March 3, 1997, details the nature of such spill and projects
the cost of remediation of the resulting contamination as being $40,000. Buyer
acknowledges receipt of a copy of the aforementioned Phase III environmental
report. Seller and Buyer hereby agree that Buyer will assume responsibility for
effecting and paying for all required remediation in connection with the Park
Dry Cleaner Spill and will, in consideration of assuming such responsibility,
receive a credit against the Purchase Price at closing equal to $50,000
(representing 125% of the anticipated cost of remediation set forth in the
aforementioned Phase III environmental report). To the extent Buyer receives
reimbursement from the Florida DEP under the aforementioned program for any of
the costs of such remediation, Buyer will, within thirty days after its receipt
of such reimbursement, pay to Seller the lesser of: (a) the amount of such EPA
reimbursement, net of any costs incurred by Buyer in applying for and receiving
any such reimbursement; or (b) the amount of the Purchase Price credit given to
Buyer at closing in connection with the Park Dry Cleaner Spill. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer will not be responsible for and
Seller will indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against any
non-governmental third party claims made against Buyer in connection with the
Park Dry Clean Spill (but not any claims made in connection with the remediation
thereof). The amount of the Purchase Price credit to be given to Buyer hereunder
is subject to Buyer's review and approval of the remediation cost estimate
during the Inspection Period.
ss.30. AUDIT LETTER. Seller acknowledges that Buyer, as a publicly-traded
real estate investment trust, is required to have the financial operations of
the various properties owned by it audited by KPMG Peat Marwick, LLP and the
results thereof filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Seller agrees
that it will make all of its financial books and records associated with the
Property available for audit by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP at all reasonable times
after the Effective Date and prior to the date which is six months after the
date of closing Buyer will provide Seller with at least 15 days prior advance
notice concerning the conduct of any such audit by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP. In
addition, Seller hereby agrees that it will, at the request of Buyer and KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP, execute an Audit Representation Letter in substantially the
form and content attached hereto as Exhibit O and will deliver such executed
Audit Representation Letter to KPMG Peat Marwick LLP within 15 days after KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP's request for the same.

until April __, 1995, unless terminated earlier in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement. The aggregate amount of principal and
interest due with respect to all loans made hereunder (individually
called a "Loan" and collectively called "Loans") shall never exceed
the sum of $5,000,000. Borrower may submit a request for a
disbursement under the Line of Credit only in accordance with
Section 2.2 of this Agreement. Prior to an Event of Default, as
said term is hereinafter defined, or maturity of any of the Loans,
the principal balance of all indebtedness evidenced by any Loan
from time to time arising under the Line of Credit shall bear
interest at one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) plus the "Prime
Rate" (as hereinafter defined), as such rate may fluctuate from
time to time, simple interest. For purposes of the Line of Credit,
- 1 -
19579-1
the term "Prime Rate" shall mean the interest rate so denominated
and set by Lender from time to time as an interest rate basis for
borrowings. The Prime Rate is one of several interest rate bases
used by Lender. Lender lends at interest rates above and below the
Prime Rate. In the event that Lender shall abolish or abandon the
practice of establishing its Prime Rate, Lender shall designate a
comparable reference rate which shall be deemed to be the Prime
Rate hereunder. The rate of interest on every Loan hereunder shall
change each time the Prime Rate changes on the date of the change
in which the Prime Rate is effective. Interest shall be computed
on every Loan hereunder with respect to each day during the term of
the Loan by multiplying the outstanding principal balance
thereunder at the close of business on that day (or on the most
recent day on which Lender was open for business) by a daily
interest factor, which daily interest factor shall be calculated by
dividing the aforesaid interest rate per annum in effect on that
day by 360. Interest so computed shall accrue for each and every
day (365 days per year, 366 days per leap year) on which any
indebtedness under the Loan remains outstanding, including the day
on which funds are initially advanced regardless of the time of day
such advances are made, and including the day on which funds are
repaid unless repayment is credited prior to close of business.
Payments in federal funds immediately available to the place
designated for payment received by Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. local
time at said place of payment shall be credited prior to close of
business, while other payments may, at the option of Lender, not be
credited until immediately available to Lender in federal funds in
the place designated for payment prior to 2:00 p.m. local time at
said place of payment on a day on which Lender is open for
business. As indicated in the form of Real Estate Note attached
hereto as Exhibit D and incorporated herein by this reference (the
"Note"), Borrower may be entitled to a reduced rate of interest on
particular Loans upon the fulfillment of certain conditions
precedent and the acknowledgement in writing of the fulfillment of
those conditions precedent by Lender with respect to the applicable
Loan. Interest on each Loan shall be payable monthly during the
term of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, all outstanding principal and unpaid interest for each
particular Loan shall be due in full on the earliest of (a) date of
closing of any additional financing for the "Project" (as defined
in Section 2.2 below) securing that particular Loan or any portion
thereof, (b) the date of closing of any sale of the Project or any
portion of said Project, or (c) twenty-four (24) months from the
- 2 -
19579-1
date of closing of that particular Loan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, for each particular Loan, Borrower may request an
extension of the maturity date for that particular Loan in
accordance with the terms and conditions more particularly set
forth in that certain Construction Loan Agreement attached hereto
as Exhibit F and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Loan
Agreement"). Equal monthly principal payments of $2,000 shall be
due on each Loan commencing on the first anniversary date of the
closing of that particular Loan and extending to the maturity date
of that particular Loan subject to the right of Borrower to extend
the maturity of that particular Loan as provided in the Loan
Agreement. The payment and performance of all of Borrower's
obligations under the Line of Credit and all Loans shall be
unconditionally guaranteed by Regency Realty Corporation, a Florida
corporation ("Guarantor").
2.2 Disbursement of Loans.
2.2.1 Except as expressly provided to the contrary
in subsection 2.2.3 below, Borrower may request disbursement of
proceeds for a Loan only after approval by Lender of the proposed
Project, which approval shall be provided upon the satisfaction of
the conditions hereinafter described in subsections 2.2.1.1 through
2.2.1.9. Proceeds for a Project will only be disbursed in a
maximum amount equal to the lesser of: (a) 80% loan to appraised
value of the Project or (b) 80% loan to the actual costs of the
acquisition of the "Land" (as hereinafter defined) and construction
of the Project. "Project" shall mean the construction by Borrower
of a freestanding retail building located in Georgia, Tennessee,
Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina or Alabama together with
parking and other appurtenant facilities upon land owned by
Borrower (the "Land") and the acquisition and installation of
personal property to be used in connection with said retail
building. The Project must be leased in its entirety to Eckerd
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Eckerd"). Lender shall have
the right, subject to the terms herein stated, to approve any
proposed Project for financing under the Line of Credit. Lender's
review and approval shall be limited to and shall be granted upon
the satisfactory delivery by Borrower of the following items:
2.2.1.1 Borrower shall submit an agreement
fully-executed by Eckerd for the leasing of the Project which
agreement must be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and
- 3 -
19579-1
must include a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement executed by Eckerd in favor of Lender in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender together with an estoppel
certificate executed by Eckerd in favor of Lender in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender. Without in any way limiting
Lender's foregoing right of approval, each proposed agreement for
leasing by Eckerd of the Project must provide for an acceptable
minimal rental, term and leaseable square footage of the Project.
2.2.1.2 Borrower shall submit a description of
the Land upon which the Project shall be located, the plans and
specifications for any and all improvements within the Project and
a breakdown of all costs associated with the acquisition,
construction and operation of the Project and the financing thereof
which shall be approved by Lender in its discretion as a condition
to closing of the Loan. The aforesaid approval of Lender shall
include the review by Newbanks & Company, Inc. ("NewBanks"), a
Georgia corporation, of the cost estimates in the plans and
specifications prior to closing. Subsequent reviews shall be
conducted by Newbanks including inspection of the Project to verify
construction progress in accordance with the applicable Loan
Agreement prior to periodic disbursements of the Loan proceeds for
each Loan.
2.2.1.3 Borrower shall submit evidence in
writing that Eckerd has received final approval from its committee
for real estate for leasing of the Project (sometimes commonly
known within the real estate industry as the "Eckerd Committee Real
Estate Approval Letter").
2.2.1.4 Borrower shall submit a fully executed
purchase agreement and escrow agreement for each Project which has
been pre-sold by Borrower and which shall contain terms and
conditions satisfactory to Lender (which terms and conditions shall
include, without limitation, the purchase price, closing
requirements and the prospective purchaser) and which shall be
absolutely assigned to Lender in the "Loan Documents" (as
hereinafter defined). Borrower shall also submit evidence that
Eckerd has or will deliver all forms of estoppel certificates and
subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements required
by the prospective purchaser. If the purchase agreement provides
for a cash purchase price sufficient to pay all obligations of
Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents for the applicable
- 4 -
19579-1
Project and provided that purchase agreement contains no unusual
warranty, indemnification or like provisions, then Lender shall
approve the purchase agreement.
2.2.1.5 Borrower shall submit evidence that
the Land on which the Project is to be constructed lies in a
district with an appropriate zoning designation to allow
construction and operation of the Project under applicable zoning
ordinances. This zoning verification shall include evidence to
demonstrate that all applicable materials relative to the
restrictions and requirements which relate to such zoning,
including lot size, building size and height, setbacks, parking,
use and other relevant matters for the Project have been met and
that the intended use of the Project is permitted as a matter of
right.
2.2.1.6 Borrower shall deliver a Phase I
Environmental Report evaluating the Land on which the Project is to
be constructed and setting forth findings and conclusions
satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion. The aforesaid Phase
I Environmental Report, or other evidence to be delivered by
Borrower to Lender such as a survey of the Land, shall also
indicate that the Project when constructed will not be located in
an area having special flood hazards according to the flood hazard
boundary maps used by the United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development in connection with the National Flood Insurance
Program and shall indicate that the proposed construction of the
Project and the contemplated use of the Project are such that
provisions of the laws relating to the filling, dredging,
excavation or other usage of lands classified as wetlands or lands
which are subject to periodic flooding or have thereon standing or
moving bodies of water are not applicable to the construction of
the Project.
2.2.1.7 Borrower shall deliver an appraisal of
the Project satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion as to
form and substance. Lender shall have the right to approve the
qualifications for any party who may deliver any such appraisal.
2.2.1.8 Borrower shall deliver a mortgagee's
title insurance commitment issued by a reputable national title
underwriter approved by Lender in the full amount of the proposed
- 5 -
19579-1
Loan for the Project upon terms and conditions satisfactory to
Lender in its sole discretion.
2.2.1.9 Borrower shall deliver all other pre-
closing requirements and loan closing documents as set forth on the
Loan Closing Checklist attached hereto as Exhibit A and
incorporated herein by this reference.
2.2.2 Upon submission of the above pre-closing
requirements, Lender shall direct its counsel to prepare loan
closing documents (the "Loan Documents") as set forth in the Loan
Closing Checklist and substantially in the form of those documents
attached hereto as Exhibits B through Exhibit Q and incorporated
herein by this reference. These Exhibits attached hereto are as
follows:

- 6 -
19579-1
Each of the aforesaid documents shall be executed by Borrower,
Guarantor, Eckerd and/or the third party indicated therein and
shall shall be delivered to Lender for its execution.
2.2.3 Notwithstanding subsections 2.2.1 and 2.2.2
above, Borrower may request that Lender disburse up to $500,000
under the Line of Credit on a temporarily unsecured basis provided
said funds are either: (a) secured by an approved Project within
45 days of the applicable advance or (b) repaid in their entirety
with interest thereon as provided hereunder on or before the 45th
day after said advance. For any temporary advance under this
subsection, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender an
unsecured note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit R and shall
cause Guarantor to execute and deliver to Lender a guaranty of
unsecured note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit S.
2.3 Purpose. Proceeds of the Loans shall be used solely
for an approved Project (except that for disbursements made
pursuant to the terms of subsection 2.2.3 above the Project need
not be approved), and in no event shall any proceeds of any Loan be
used for personal, family or household purposes.
2.4 Final Approval and Limitations. The obligation of
Lender to make any Loan is conditioned upon prior approval of each
separate request for a Loan by Borrower and prior approval of the
proposed Project or to the extent applicable the temporarily
unsecured Loan as provided in subsection 2.2.2 above.
2.5 Condition of Closing Subsequent Loans. In addition
to the conditions set forth in Section 2.2 above, Lender shall have
no obligation to make any Loan if there shall exist any event of
default hereunder or under any Loan Documents for a previously
funded Loan. The obligations of Borrower under all Loan Documents
with regard to all Loans shall be cross-defaulted within the Loan
Documents such that a default under the Loan, not cured as provided
in the Loan Documents (if any cure period is provided), shall
constitute a default under all of the Loans. In addition, each
Project shall be cross-collateralized such that each Project serves
as collateral for all outstanding Loans, provided that upon the
full and final payment of a Note evidencing a Loan, the security
provided to collateralize that particular Note, including the
Security Deed for that particular Note, shall be cancelled and
terminated.
- 7 -
19579-1
2.6 Principal Payments. Upon the receipt of any
payments made by or on account of Borrower with respect to Loans
under the Line of Credit, Lender shall apply such payments as
provided in the Note evidencing such Loan.
2.7 Events of Default. Borrower shall be in default
hereunder and under all of the Loans if any one or more of the
following events occur (an "Event of Default"):
2.7.1 Failure to pay any installment of principal
or interest due under any Note evidencing a Loan as and when due
thereunder; or
2.7.2 Failure to observe and perform each and every
covenant, agreement and provision of this Agreement or any
documents evidencing, governing or securing any Loan including,
without limitation, the Loan Documents; or
2.7.3 Appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian
or a liquidator of Borrower or Guarantor or any other property of
Borrower or Guarantor; or
2.7.4 Filing by Borrower or Guarantor of a
voluntary petition in bankruptcy seeking reorganization or
rearrangement or taking advantage of any applicable liquidation,
conservatorship, bankruptcy, moratorium, rearrangement, insolvency,
reorganization or similar laws affecting the rights or limits of
creditors generally, as in effect from time to time, or an answer
by Borrower or Guarantor admitting the material allegations of a
petition filed against Borrower or Guarantor in any bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, conservatorship or similar proceeding
or an admission by Borrower or Guarantor in writing of non-
availability to pay any debts that become due; or
2.7.5 The making of Borrower or Guarantor of a
general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or
2.7.6 The entry of an order of relief by any court
of competent jurisdiction or the approval of a petition seeking
reorganization of Borrower or Guarantor or an arrangement of their
debts or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, conservator,
custodian or liquidator of Borrower or Guarantor or any property
- 8 -
19579-1
owned by Borrower or Guarantor, not dismissed within sixty (60)
days in the event of an involuntary action.
2.7.7 Notwithstanding anything herein or in any
Loan Documents to the contrary, Borrower shall receive the benefit
of the notice and cure periods (if any) set forth in Paragraph D-1
of Exhibit "D" to the Security Deed prior to an "Event of Default"
and the exercise by Lender of its remedies hereunder with respect
thereto.
2.8 Remedies. If any Event of Default occurs hereunder,
Lender may require the entire principal and all interest accrued on
the Loans to be, and the same shall thereupon become due and
payable, without any presentment, demand, notice of intention to
accelerate the indebtedness evidenced by the Loans, protest or
other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived.
If Borrower fails to pay when due, the principal and interest owing
under any Loan or any other charges owing under any of the Loan
Documents, Borrower will pay Lender such further amount as may be
sufficient to cover the cost and expenses of collection, including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees of Lender's counsel
and expenses related thereto.
2.9 Financial Statements. Borrower shall keep and
maintain or shall cause to be kept and maintained, at Borrower's

particular Loan as provided in the Loan Agreement, an additional

upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right,
power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such
default, or acquiescence therein, and every right, power and remedy
given by this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents to Lender may
be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient by Lender. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied,
by Lender to or of any default shall be deemed or construed to be
a consent or waiver to or of any other default. No delay,
indulgence, departure, act or omission by Lender shall release,
discharge, modify, change or otherwise affect the original
liability under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any
other obligation of Borrower or any subsequent purchaser of a
Project or any part thereof, or any maker, surety or Guarantor, or
preclude Lender from exercising any right, privilege or power
granted herein or in any of the Loan Documents. Lender may at any
time, without notice to or further consent from Borrower, surrender
or substitute any property or other security of any kind or nature
- 11 -
19579-1
whatsoever securing the indebtedness evidenced by the Loans or
release any Guarantor, and no such action will release Borrower's
obligations hereunder or alter the effect hereof. No right, power
or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Lender hereunder is

each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and
concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and
remedy given hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or now or
hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute.
3.2 Survival of Certain Agreements. Notwithstanding the
repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Loans and the
cancellation or transfer of the Loan Documents, or any foreclosure
of, or sale under power contained in, any of the Loan Documents, or
the acquisition by Lender of title to any Project in lieu of
foreclosure, or any other realization upon collateral securing any
indebtedness evidenced by the Loans, all agreements of Borrower

costs and expenses of Lender in connection with the Loans
contemplated by the Loan Documents and all agreements of Borrower
contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to indemnify
and/or hold harmless Lender shall continue in full force and effect
so long as there exists any possibility of expense or liability on
the part of Lender.
3.3 No Obligation to Third Parties. The Loans are and
will be made solely for the benefit of Lender. No tenant nor any
party involved with the construction of any Project nor any other
party whatsoever shall have standing to bring any action against
Lender as the result of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, or to
assume that Lender will exercise any remedies provided herein, and
no party other than Lender shall be deemed to be a beneficiary of
any provision of the Loan Documents, any and all of which may be
freely waived in whole or in part by Lender in its discretion at
any time. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Loan
Documents shall be deemed to impose upon Lender any liability for
the performance of any obligation of Borrower.

respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors,
successors-in-title and assigns, subject to all restrictions on
transfer herein or in the Loan Documents. Neither this Agreement
- 12 -
19579-1
nor the proceeds of any Loans contemplated by the Loan Documents
may be assigned by Borrower without the prior consent of Lender
which may be given or withheld at the discretion of Lender.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may assign its rights under
this Agreement to an affiliate, subsidiary or corporate parent of
Borrower so long as: (a) there is no Event of Default under this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, (b) Guarantor and Borrower
remain fully obligated for performance of all obligations under
this Agreement and the Loan Documents, and (c) Borrower provides
such financial and business information concerning the proposed
assignee as Lender may reasonably request. This Agreement may be

to the Line of Credit and supersede entirely any and all prior
written or oral agreements with respect thereto; and Borrower and
Lender hereto acknowledge and agree that there are no
contemporaneous oral agreements with respect to the subject matter

Lender. All personal pronouns used in this Agreement whether used
in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, shall include all
other genders; the singular shall include the plural, and vice
versa. Titles of articles and sections in this Agreement are for
convenience only and in no way define, limit, amplify or describe
the scope or intent of any provisions thereof. If more than one
person or entity constitutes, collectively, Borrower or Guarantor,
all of the provisions of this Agreement referring to Borrower or
Guarantor shall be construed to refer to each such person or entity
individually as well as collectively. When anything is described
or referred to in this Agreement in general terms and one or more
examples or components of what has been described or referred to

following the word "including"), the examples or components shall
be deemed illustrative only and shall not be construed as limiting
the generality of the description or reference in any way.
Wherever in this Agreement the approval or consent of Lender is
required or permitted, or wherever a requirement of Lender or the
standard of acceptability or satisfaction of Lender must be
determined, such approval, consent or determination of Lender shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that
wherever it is indicated that such approval, consent or
- 13 -
19579-1
determination is to be given or made at the option or in the
discretion or judgment of Lender, then Lender may grant or withhold
such approval or consent or make such determination without
restriction in its sole and absolute discretion. If any provisions
of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or
circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the
application of such provisions to other persons or circumstances
shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest
extent permitted by law. Time is of the essence with respect to
each and every covenant, agreement and obligation of Borrower under
this Agreement. All exhibits referred to in this Agreement are by
such reference incorporated into this Agreement as if fully set
forth therein. The parties acknowledge and agree that they have
been represented by counsel and that each of the parties has
participated in the drafting of this Agreement. Accordingly, it is

against or in favor of any party hereto by reason of the
responsibilities in connection with the preparation of this
Agreement.

specifically provided herein, any and all notices, elections,
approvals, consents, demands, requests and responses thereto
("Communications") permitted or required to be given under this
Agreement shall be in writing, signed by or on behalf of the party
