ITEM: 5.13.(7)
Investment
FROM: Brian Pawlowski, Community Investment
SUBJECT: Xanatek Purchase Agreement
After going through the disposition process in September of 2013 with an average
appraised value of $82,500 no bids were received for the property at 402 S. Lafayette
Blvd. Since that time there have been various discussions about potential uses for the lot
but none have come to fruition.
Xanatek is a small business that has called South Bend home for ten years. They
currently employ 24 people with an average salary of $53,000 and are looking to hire 15-
25 more in the next 5 years. Last year they experienced a growth in revenue of 32.5%
and need to expand their footprint. Xanatek is planning to purchase the current JPR
building adjacent to the lot specified above. They plan to invest significant dollars into the
improvement of both the lot and the building itself to create one seamless campus. Total
investment for purchase and upgrades will be approximately $750,000.
In purchasing this property Xanatek agrees to:
• Within 18 months invest up to $225,000 into the JPR building
• Purchase the lot for $20,000
• Within 18 months invest up to $120,000 into lot improvements
• Obtain City approval of lot improvement design
• Give the City a first right of refusal should the property be on the market in the
future
Staff requests approval of this Purchase Agreement.

3. BUYER'S DUE DILIGENCE

on their mutual understanding that Buyer intends to use the Property for a surface parking lot
serving the building located at 412 S. Lafayette Boulevard lying immediate south of and abutting
the Property (the "JPR Building "), in accordance with all applicable laws and the terms of this
2
Agreement (the "Buyer's Use "). Seller acknowledges that Buyer's determination whether Buyer's
Use is feasible requires investigation into various matters (Buyer's "Due Diligence "). Therefore,
Buyer's obligation to complete the purchase of the Property is conditioned upon the satisfactory
completion, in Buyer's discretion, of Buyer's Due Diligence, including, without limitation,
Buyer's examination, at Buyer's sole expense, of zoning and land use matters, environmental
matters, real property title matters, and the like, as applicable.
B. Due Diligence Period. Buyer shall have a period of ninety (90) days following the
Contract Date to complete its examination of the Property in accordance with this Section 3 (the
"Due Diligence Period ").
C. Authorizations During Due Diligence Period. During the Due Diligence Period,
Seller authorizes Buyer, upon Buyer providing Seller with evidence that Buyer has general liability
insurance reasonably acceptable to Seller, in the amount of at least One Million Dollars
($1,000,000), naming Seller as an additional insured and covering the activities, acts, and
omissions of Buyer and its representatives at the Property, to
(i) enter upon the Property or to cause agents to enter upon the Property for
purposes of examination; provided, that Buyer may not take any action upon the Property which
reduces the value thereof and Buyer may not conduct any invasive testing at the Property without
Seller's express prior written consent; further provided, that if the transaction contemplated herein
is not consummated, Buyer shall promptly restore the Property to its condition prior to entry, and
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Seller harmless, before and after the Closing Date whether
or not a closing occurs and regardless of any cancellations or termination of this Agreement, from
any liability to any third party, loss or expense incurred by Seller, including without limitation,
reasonable attorney fees and costs arising from acts or omissions of Buyer or Buyer's agents or
representatives; and
(ii) file any application with any federal, state, county, municipal or regional
agency relating to the Property for the purpose of obtaining any approval necessary for Buyer's
Use. If Seller's written consent to or signature upon any such application is required by any such
agency for consideration or acceptance of any such application, Buyer may request from Seller
such consent or signature, which Seller shall not unreasonably withhold. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any zoning commitments or other commitments that would further restrict the future
use or development of the Property, beyond the restrictions in place as a result of the current zoning
of the Property, shall be subject to Seller's prior review and written approval.
D. Termination of Agreement. If at any time within the Due Diligence Period, Buyer
determines, in its sole discretion, not to proceed with the purchase of the Property, Buyer may
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller's Representative, and Buyer shall be entitled

obtain a Phase I environmental site assessment of the Property pursuant to and limited by the
authorizations stated in Section 3 above.
5. PRESERVATION OF TITLE
After the Contract Date, Seller shall not take any action or allow any action to be taken by others
to cause the Property to become subject to any interests, liens, restrictions, easements, covenants,
reservations, or other matters affecting Seller's title (such matters are referred to as
"Encumbrances "). Seller acknowledges that Buyer intends to obtain, at Buyer's sole expense, and
to rely upon a commitment for title insurance on the Property (the "Title Commitment ") and a
survey of the Property (the "Survey ") identifying all Encumbrances as of the Contract Date. The
Property shall be conveyed to Buyer free of any Encumbrances other than Permitted
Encumbrances (as defined in Section 7 below).

Buyer, at Buyer's sole expense, shall obtain the Title Commitment for an owner's policy of title
insurance issued by a title company selected by Buyer and reasonably acceptable to Seller (the

agree to insure good, marketable, and indefeasible fee simple title to the Property (including public
road access) in the name of the Buyer for the full amount of the Purchase Price upon delivery and
recordation of a special warranty deed (the "Deed ") from the Seller to the Buyer, and (ii) provide
for issuance of a final ALTA owner's title insurance policy, with any endorsements requested by
Buyer, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances. Regardless of whether this transaction closes,
Buyer shall be responsible for all of the Title Company's title search charges and all costs of the
Title Commitment and owner's policy.

or Survey to which written notice of objection is not given within such period shall be a "Permitted
Encumbrance." If the Seller is unable or unwilling to correct the Buyer's title and survey
objections within the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice
to Seller prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which case the Earnest Money Deposit
shall be refunded to Buyer. If Buyer fails to so terminate this Agreement, then such objections
shall constitute "Permitted Encumbrances" as of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and
Buyer shall acquire the Property without any effect being given to such title and survey objections.

12. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
Upon the Closing, Buyer hereby grants to Seller (and the City) a right of first refusal to purchase

time on or after the Closing Date, Buyer receives a bona -fide offer from a third party to purchase
the Property, or any part of the Property, and/or the JPR Building (as such parcels may be

Buyer will have thirty (30) days to accept or reject the City's Proposal (as the same may be

purchase and sale agreement with Seller (or the City) for the conveyance of the real property to
Seller, or the City, as the case may be. Any conveyance of all or a part of the Property by Buyer
to a third party without first observing the requirements of this Section 12 or otherwise violating
Seller's right of first refusal will be null and void and of no force or effect. To place of public
record Seller's right of first refusal under this Section 12, the Parties agree to execute the

Closing Date. The Memorandum of Right of First Refusal will be recorded in the Office of the
Recorder of St. Joseph County immediately after the Deed, and Buyer will pay all costs of
recording the Memorandum of Right of First Refusal.

warranties by Seller as to the condition of the property or its fitness for Buyer's Use or any
particular use or purpose. Seller offers no such representation or warranty as to condition or

warranty as to condition or fitness.

assessed and levied against the Property with respect to the year in which the Closing takes place
and for all subsequent years. Seller shall have no liability for any real property taxes associated

other apportionment of real property taxes resulting in Seller's liability therefor.
15. REMEDIES

immediately to cure or remedy such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice
of such default or breach from the non - defaulting Party, or, if the nature of the default or breach is
such that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, the defaulting Party will diligent pursue and
prosecute to completion an appropriate cure within a reasonable time. In the event of a default or
breach that remains uncured for longer than the period stated in the foregoing sentence, the non-
7
defaulting Party may terminate this Agreement, commence legal proceedings, including an action
for specific performance, or pursue any other remedy available at law or in equity. All the Parties'
respective rights and remedies concerning this Agreement and the Property are cumulative.
16. COMMISSIONS
The Parties acknowledge that Seller is not represented by any broker in connection with the
transaction contemplated in this Agreement and that Buyer is represented by Buyer's Agent alone,

agree to indemnify and hold harmless one another from any claim for commissions in connection
with the transaction contemplated in this Agreement.

concerning the transaction contemplated in this Agreement.
19. ASSIGNMENT
Buyer and Seller agree that this Agreement or any of Buyer's rights hereunder may not be assigned

another entity wholly owned by Brent Sheppard and Susan Sheppard, under which circumstance
Buyer will not be required to receive Seller's prior written consent but Buyer must provide Seller
written notice of such anticipated assignment at least fifteen (15) days in advance. In the event
Buyer wishes to obtain Seller's consent regarding a proposed assignment of this Agreement, Seller
