I-Ml/413923.3
3
readily ascertainable by the parties on the date of this Agreement; and that the parties desire to
liquidate by agreement the amount of Seller's recovery from Buyer in such event. Both parties
understand that the agreed damages may be more or less than the actual damages which Seller
may incur on account of Buyer's default. After consideration of all of the foregoing, Buyer and
Seller hereby agree that in the event of Buyer's default under this Agreement (provided that
Seller is not then in default), Seller shall be entitled to retain the Deposit, together with all
interest accrued thereon, as liquidated damages as Seller's sole remedy on account of such
default, plus reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of collection should litigation ensue; provided,
however, if Buyer fails to deliver the Deposit as required under this Agreement, then Seller's
remedies shall be limited to the right to collect the Deposit from Buyer and to retain the Deposit

3.3 Escrow. Promptly after Escrow Agent's receipt of the Option Fee, the
Option Fee shall be deposited by the Escrow Agent in an interest-bearing account (the "Option
Fee Account"). Promptly after Escrow Agent's receipt of the Deposit, the Deposit shall be
deposited by the Escrow Agent in a separate interest-bearing account (the "Deposit Account";
together with the Option Fee Account being hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Accounts"). The Accounts shall be at Gibraltar Bank, Citibank, F.S.B., or any other federally
insured banking institution selected by the Escrow Agent (the "Bank"). As used herein, the term
"Escrow Funds" means the Option Fee and the Deposit, together with all interest which from
time to time accrues thereon. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability for the failure of the
Bank to return the Escrow Funds when requested or for any other default, action or inaction on
the part of the Bank.
Buyer and Seller each understand that it takes some time to deposit the Option
Fee and the Deposit in the Accounts and some time to withdraw the Escrow Funds from the
Accounts in anticipation of the Closing contemplated under this Agreement, and that the Escrow
Funds will earn no interest during such times.
Seller represents that its correct taxpayer identification number is 22-6774731.
Upon request by the Escrow Agent, Buyer and Seller shall each execute a Payer's Request for
Taxpayer Identification Number (IRS Form W-9) and shall deliver the same to the Escrow
Agent. All interest earned on the Option Fee shall be paid to the party to whom the Option Fee
is payable under this Agreement. All interest earned on the Deposit shall be paid to the party to
whom the Deposit is payable under this Agreement.
Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is serving as escrow holder
as an accommodation for the parties. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any actions or
refusal to take any action undertaken in good faith or upon reliance upon documentation which it
believes to be genuine. Unless the Escrow Agent has received written authorization from the
Buyer to pay the Escrow Funds (or a portion thereof) to the Seller or a closing statement or other
written instructions as to the disbursement of the Escrow Funds signed by both Buyer and Seller
or a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing the disbursement of the Escrow
Funds, the Escrow Agent shall send to Seller and Buyer notice of any other proposed
disbursement of the Escrow Funds and not disburse such Escrow Funds until ten (10) days after
such notice is sent in order to allow for objections to such proposed disbursement. In the event
1-MI/413923,3

that the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection to such proposed disbursement within
such ten-day period, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to disburse the Escrow Funds as set
forth in such notice and upon making such disbursement, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of
all liability with respect to the Escrow Funds so disbursed.
In the event of any dispute or any doubt on the part of the Escrow Agent
regarding the Escrow Funds (or any portion thereof), the Escrow Agent shall have the right to
deposit the Escrow Funds (or any portion thereof) into a court of appropriate jurisdiction and all
costs to the Escrow Agent in connection therewith shall be assessed against the Escrow Funds.
In such event, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the Escrow
Funds so deposited. Seller and Buyer each agree to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent
harmless from and against any loss or liability (including reasonable attorney's fees and
disbursements and court and litigation costs) incurred by the Escrow Agent as a result of any
dispute regarding the Escrow Funds or in any way arising from the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Escrow Funds, except for the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. The fact that the Escrow Agent is
acting as escrow holder under this Agreement shall not in any way prevent it from representing
Seller with respect to any litigation arising out of this Agreement or from representing Seller in
any other capacity.
4. Inspections. Buyer shall have until the Option Acceptance Date, but no later than
the Option Expiration Date (the "Inspection Period") to make any inspections it deems
necessary, all at Buyer's sole cost and expense. Buyer may in its sole discretion consider the
results of such inspections in deciding whether to exercise the Option, but the neither the results
of any such inspections (including, without limitation, any of investigations or determinations
specifically mentioned in this Section 4) nor any failure of Buyer to perform or obtain the results
of any such inspections shall be a condition to the performance of Buyer's obligations under this
Agreement nor entitle Buyer to receive a refund of all or any portion of the Option Fee or the
Deposit, unless expressly provided for in this Agreement.

determine that the Property has adequate services available and that all federal, state, county and
local laws, rules and regulations have been and are currently being complied with relative to the

the Property for purposes of conducting any tests upon the Property, including but not limited to,
at its sole cost and expense, obtaining and accepting a satisfactory Phase I Environmental Audit,
and engineering and topographical studies, as buyer in its sole discretion deems necessary so
long as it does not unduly interfere with Lessee's operations; provided, however, that Buyer may
not conduct any Phase II environmental assessment or other invasive tests of the Property
without the written consent of Seller in each instance. In the event that any inspections and any
review of documents conducted by the Buyer relative to the Property during the Inspection
Period prove unsatisfactory to the Buyer, Buyer in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to
terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Seller, or elect to proceed to closing as
set forth herein prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, Buyer shall not be entitled to receive a refund of the Option Fee or any other Escrow
I-MI/413923.3

remediation of any applicable Environmental Problem (as defined below), (b) on or prior to the
end of the Inspection Period, Buyer delivers to Seller a notice stating that an Environmental

licensed independent geologist or engineer which determines that Hazardous Materials are

applicable Governmental Requirements and/or that conditions exist on the Property which are in
violation of an applicable Governmental Requirement with respect to Hazardous Materials and
that cost of completing such remediation and curing any such violations equals or exceeds five
percent (5%) of the total Purchase Price (an "Environmental Problem"), and (c) Seller does not
cure and remediate such Environmental Problem within ninety (90) days after the end of the
Inspection Period and Buyer does not elect to close subject to such Environmental Problem as
and when provided below. Time is of the essence for Buyer to notify Seller of any
Environmental Problems as and when provided above and in the event Buyer does not do so, it
shall have waived any and all objections to the environmental condition of the Property. In the
event that Buyer timely notifies Seller of an Environmental Problem in the manner required
above, Seller shall within fifteen (15) days thereafter notify Buyer either (i) that Seller has
elected to cure and remediate as applicable, such Environmental Problem, in which event Seller
shall be entitled to one or more adjournments of the Closing up to ninety (90) days in the
aggregate in order to cure and remediate such Environmental Problem or (ii) that Seller has
elected to terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall immediately terminate
as provided below. If Seller elects to and does cure and remediate such Environmental Problem,
then Seller shall provide written notice and evidence thereof to Buyer on or prior to ninety (90)
days after the end of the Inspection Period, in which event the Closing shall occur ten (10)
business days thereafter. If Seller elects to, but does not cure and remediate such Environmental
Problem on or prior to ninety (90) days after the end of the Inspection Period or at any time prior
thereto notifies Buyer that it will no longer attempt to do so, then this Agreement shall terminate
five (5) business days thereafter unless Buyer notifies Seller that it has elected to accept the
Property subject to the Environmental Problem, in which event the Closing shall occur ten (10)
business days after delivery of such notice from Buyer. In the event that this Agreement shall
terminate under any of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Option Fee and all other
Escrow Funds shall be paid forthwith to Buyer, as Buyer's sole remedy, whereupon this
Agreement shall be terminated and the parties hereto shall be relieved of all further obligations
and liabilities other than those that expressly survive termination ofthis Agreement.
4.3 Agreement with Lessee. During the Inspection Period, Buyer shall have
the right to attempt to secure an acceptable agreement with Lessee for the continued operations
of Tony Roma's Restaurant; provided that no such agreement shall take effect unless and until
the Closing shall have occurred nor shall any such agreement bind or obligate or purport to bind
or obligate Seller in any manner whatsoever.
4.4 Appraisals. Buyer shall have until the end of the Inspection Period to
obtain two appraisals for the Property in accordance with Chapter 166, Florida Statutes. Buyer
shall be entitled to consider the results of such appraisals in deciding whether to exercise the
Option, but neither the results of such appraisals nor any failure of Buyer to obtain such
I-MI/413923.3
6
appraisals shall be a condition to the performance of Buyer's obligations under this Agreement
nor entitle Buyer to receive a refund of all or any portion of the Option Fee or the Deposit.
4.5 Inspection Procedures and Indemnity. Buyer shall give Seller reasonable
advance notice of Buyer's inspections of the Property so that Seller, at its option, may have one
of its representatives familiar with the Property accompany Buyer. Buyer agrees that reasonable

Property and to minimize any disruption to the parties in possession of the Property. Buyer shall
indemnify, protect, defend and hold Seller and its personal representatives harmless from and
against any claims, losses, liabilities or damages resulting from such inspections and from and
against any mechanic's liens or claims of lien resulting therefrom. Such indemnification shall
survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
4.6 Seller's Documents. Seller shall make available to Buyer no later than
twenty (20) days following the Effective Date of this Agreement, copies of all documents (other
than appraisals) which Seller may have in its possession pertaining to the Property including, but

covenants, variance application/approvals, special exception application/approvals, engineering
plans, unrecorded developer agreements, environmental reports, surveys and prior title insurance
policies, title commitments, and title exceptions pertaining thereto, if any. Buyer acknowledges
that Seller has informed Buyer that Seller has few, if any, of such documents.
4.7 Confidentiality. Prior to the Closing Date (and at all times if this
Agreement shall be terminated for any reason), Buyer shall keep confidential all financial,
environmental and other information pertaining to the Property that is not recorded in the public
records (including, without limitation, any summaries or descriptions of such information
prepared by Buyer or its Representatives) (collectively, the "Confidential Information") and shall
not disclose any of such Confidential Information to any person or entity, except that Buyer may
disclose the Confidential Information (i) as and to the extent required by applicable law,
regulation or legal process and (ii) to Buyer's directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys
and consultants (collectively, the "Representatives") who need to know the Confidential
Information for the purpose of evaluating the potential purchase of the Property by Buyer. Buyer
agrees that the Confidential Information will be used solely for the purpose of evaluating the
potential purchase of the Property by Buyer. In the event that this Agreement shall be terminated
for any reason, Buyer shall provide to Seller copies of all reports and studies (including, without
limitation, all environmental assessments) prepared by, for or on behalf of Buyer with respect to
the Property. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and its personal representatives
harmless from and against any and all reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities and damages,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements at the trial level and

7
possession more particularly described below in this Paragraph 5.1, Buyer shall obtain a Title
Commitment, at Buyer's cost, and shall deliver a copy of the Title Commitment to Seller's
attorney within three (3) days of receipt. Within five (5) business days of execution of this
Agreement by Seller, Seller shall be obligated to provide to Buyer a copy of the deed in its
possession that conveyed title to the subject real property to Seller.
5.2 Marketable Title. Seller shall convey marketable title to the Property,
subject to the Permitted Exceptions. Marketable Title shall be determined according to the Title
Standards adopted by authority of The Florida Bar and in accordance with law. Buyer shall have
ten (10) days from the date of receiving the Title Commitment to examine same. If title is found
to have defects which render title unmarketable, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing within such
ten-day period of any such title defects which are objectionable to Buyer (the "Title
Objections"). Time is of the essence for Buyer to notify Seller of any Title Objections and
.Buyer's failure to include any such title defect in such a timely notice shall constitute a waiver
by Buyer of its right to object to such defect, which shall thereafter be deemed a Permitted
Exception for all purposes hereunder. The Buyer's notice of Title Objections shall include a
statement of how the defects should be cured. Seller have until the Closing Date to remove all
Title Objections. If any Title Objections are not removed on or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer
shall have the option of either accepting title in its existing condition without any reduction of
the Purchase Price, or of terminating this Agreement by delivering to Seller a written notice of
termination at the Closing. Upon such a termination of this Agreement, neither Buyer nor Seller
shall have further rights or obligations hereunder except for those that expressly survive
termination of this Agreement except that the Escrow Funds shall be refunded to Buyer under
these circumstances, provided that Buyer had timely exercised the Option in the manner required
under this Agreement. Seller agrees that if title is found to be unmarketable, Seller will use
diligent efforts to correct all Title Objections that are timely objected to by Buyer, within the
time provided therefore, and subject to the limitations that Seller shall not be required to bring
any action or proceeding or to incur any expense in excess of five percent (5%) of the Purchase
Price in the aggregate to cure any such Title Objections.
6. Survev. Within time period set forth in Section 5.1 to obtain a Title Commitment,
Buyer may obtain at its expense a survey (the "Survey") of the Property showing all
improvements thereon prepared by a land surveyor or engineer registered and licensed in the
State of Florida. The Survey shall show the legal description of the Property to be the same as
Exhibit "A" attached hereto. The Buyer may require any reasonable revision to the legal
description ,but Seller shall not be required to convey any lands other than the legal description
of the Property set forth on Exhibit "A" attached hereto. Any objections must be delivered to
Seller's attorney within thirty (30) after the Effective Date. Upon such proper and timely
notification, all such objections to matters shown on the Survey which render title unmarketable
shall be treated as Title Objections in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof. Buyer's failure to
include any such matter in such a timely notice shall constitute a waiver by Buyer of its right to
object to all matters which an accurate, current survey of the Property would reveal, which shall
thereafter be deemed Permitted Exceptions for all purposes hereunder
7. Seller's Representations. Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer as of the
Effective Date and as of the Closing Date as follows:

Dear Mr. Peabody:
This will outline our conversations today relative to the above-referenced property. We
have agreed upon the following terms and conditions, which we will submit, in further
detail, at a later date:
1. The Roma site consisting of approximately 10,000 square feet shall remain intact
until sllch time as a new structure for Romacorp is built and the Tony Roma's restaurant
will continue to operate until that time. The Lease shall be assigned to the City by the
current lessor upon transfer of the property.
2. The parties contemplate a new lease agreement for the new site that will provide
for a twenty (20)-year lease term with two (2) five-year renewals to become effective on
delivery of that site by the City (the "new Lease"). The rent amount contained in the
new Lease rent for those premises, on an annual basis, shall be eight percent (8%) of the
gross receipts as defined in the current Tony Roma lease agreement by and between Fred
Kassner, Lessor and Tony Roma's of Sunny Isles, Lessee dated July 20, 1992 with a
minimum guarantee of TWO HUNDRED FORTY THOUSAND AND NO/lOO
DOLLARS ($240,000) annual lease rate. The new Lease will be a "net lease" such that
Romacorp shall be responsible for all property taxes (if, and to the extent, taxes are
assessed by the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser's office), insurance and
maintenance.
3. The City agrees it will construct and retain ownership of the new structure
(which will house the restaurant), which structure will then be leased to Romacorp. The
City will deliver a "shell" that will consist of the outside walls plus all utilities brought
into the building and roof structure if applicable. Romacorp will be responsible for the
connection of said utilities, electrical and plumbing work, interior finish work, decor and
purchase and installation of furniture, fixtures and kitchen equipment, all at Romacorp's
cost.

mutually agreed upon by the parties. The City will be responsible for whatever traffic
improvements are necessary for the development of both sites. Romacorp' s desire would be
to have an approximate 7500 square-foot foot print for its new site, excluding outdoor dining,
but the actual square footage will depend on whether or not Romacorp desires to incorporate
a second floor into the restaurant design with everything being subject to building design
criteria.
6. The foregoing terms are contingent upon, and subject to, approval by the City
Commission on behalf of the City and the Board of Directors on behalf of Romacorp which
approval will not be unreasonably withheld on either side. Upon such approval, however, by
each of those respective entities, the terms of this letter will be considered binding, subject to
final documentation and design approval, which design approval shall also not be
umeasonably withheld.
7. The parties both agree that the Roma site will be delivered first, but there is no agreed
upon or fixed time frame within which construction will commence, provided however, that
to the extent possible, the City agrees to utilize its best efforts to create no "down time" in
operation for Tony Roma's restaurant operations but further provided that, should such
"down time" occur, the City will use its best efforts to have that occur during the months
beginning and between June and September, unless the parties agree otherwise.
8. Romacorp agrees that should it become necessary, for any reason, to plat the property,
it will execute a joinder to that plat.
