DISPOSAL OF MARTA PARCEL D1158

THIS LAND SALES CONTRACT ("Sales Contract") is made and entered into by Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority ("MARTA" or "Seller") and the undersigned party ("Purchaser") on and as of ______________, 2026 ("Effective Date").

IN CONSIDERATION OF the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Seller and Purchaser, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1. The Purchaser agrees to buy and the Seller agrees to sell a parcel of real property (more particularly described in the legal description attached as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference) generally located MARTA's former Stone Mountain Park and Ride Lot located Northeast of 4th Street and Manor Drive, City of Stone Mountain, DeKalb County, Georgia (hereinafter referred to as the "Property"). The Property being conveyed is approximately 2.54 acres in size.

The Property is being sold on a strictly "AS IS, WHERE IS" basis and in its current condition. MARTA EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION OR

WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND OR NATURE

WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY OR THE CONDITION OF

THE PROPERTY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE IMMEDIATELY

FOREGOING DISCLAIMER, MARTA SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY

REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE PROPERTY IS FIT FOR ANY

PARTICULAR USE OR FOR ANY USE AT ALL.

2. (a) The sale price is ___________________U.S. Dollars ($ _____________), of which 10%has been paid, the receipt of which Seller hereby acknowledges and the balance of which is the amount of _________________ U.S. Dollars ($_____________), shall be paid in full, in cash, by Purchaser to Seller, at the time of closing this sale. Any and all taxes upon or in respect of the transfer of the said Property, all fees for recording the conveyance thereof, and any other fees and costs in connection with or arising out of the said transfer or the closing thereof. If the Purchaser wishes to insure this title to the said Property, Purchaser shall be responsible for obtaining such insurance at Purchaser's sole expense.

(b) The initial payment or deposit indicated in paragraph 2(a) of this Sales Contract shall constitute security for the offer made by Purchaser. At closing, the amount of initial payment or deposit shall be credited to Purchaser against the sale price specified in this Sales Contract. If Purchaser fails or refuses to close on terms and conditions in this Sales Contract, the amount of said security deposit shall be forfeited to Seller as fixed and liquidated damages for breach of Purchaser's obligation in this Sales Contract.

3. (a) Seller specifically disclaims any representation or warranty as to (i) the condition of the Property or the Property's fitness for any particular purpose or use, (ii) zoning or other restrictions, legal or otherwise, affecting the use or occupancy of the property,

(iii) the title to the Property, except as expressly stated in the Limited Warranty Deed by which the Property is to be conveyed and (iv) any adverse impacts, including without limitation, any vibrations or noise, that Seller's construction operation and maintenance of a rapid rail transit system may have on the Property.

(b) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser and their duly authorized representatives were given the opportunity to inspect the Properties on any day prior to __________, 2026. MARTA expresses no opinion and makes no estimate or representation, express or implied, with respect to the work required for any improvement or other use of the Property or with respect to the cost of such work.

The Purchaser, whose bid was accepted by MARTA, shall assume the full risk of, and responsibility for, any and all defects, deficiencies, and other conditions, whether latent or such as inspection would reasonably disclose.

(c) Purchaser shall have forty-five (45) days from the execution of Sales Contract (hereinafter referred to as the "Inspection Period") to conduct testing and obtain reports relating to the Property. Purchaser shall coordinate its inspections with MARTA's Manager of Right of Way, Acquisitions and Disposals.

Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller from any and all loss, liability, costs, claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of action, and suits arising out of or in any way related to the exercise by Purchaser or Purchaser's rights under this subparagraph.

In the event, Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that the property is not acceptable for Purchaser's intended purposes, then Purchaser may withdraw from the Sales Contract by giving written notice to Seller on or before the last day of the Inspection Period.

(d) If Purchaser withdraws from the Sales Contract during the Inspection Period, MARTA shall return the entire Bid Security to Purchaser. If Purchaser withdraws from the Sales Contract after the Inspection Period, MARTA will retain 100% of the Purchaser's Bid Security, as compensation for Seller's time and expenses related to the sale of the property and not as a penalty.

(e) The closing of the sale shall take place not later than Ninety (90) days next after the Effective Date of this Sales Contract.

4. If Purchaser fails to give notice of withdrawal prior to the end of the Inspection Period, then such conditions shall be deemed to have been waived by Purchaser, and the Bid Security shall become non-refundable, and the Sales Contract shall remain in full force and effect.

5. The terms of this sale are that the sales price be paid in full not later than the closing of the sale. Any loans or financing that Purchaser may wish to arrange in order to meet such payment are a matter strictly between Purchaser and Purchaser's prospective lender or lenders. The failure to obtain financing shall not excuse the Purchaser from obligation to make timely payment, or from any other obligation thereunder.

6. Seller shall, at closing, convey the Property to Purchaser by Limited Warranty Deed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by this reference.

The Property shall be conveyed subject to (a) zoning ordinances affecting the property, (b) general utility easements of record serving the property, (c) subdivision restrictions of record, and (d) other easements and other restrictions and encumbrances of record. In the event that Purchaser, within thirty (30) calendar days following the date this Sales Contract is entered into, gives Seller written notice of Purchaser's desire to accept the Property subject to any leases covering the Property (if any), then Seller shall, at closing transfer or assign to Purchaser the interest of Seller under said leases and Purchaser shall accept the Property subject to said leases and shall assume all obligations of Seller thereunder.

7. In the event that the Property is destroyed or substantially damaged before closing, then at the election of Purchaser: (a) this Sales Contract may be canceled, or (b) Purchaser may consummate this Sales Contract and receive any insurance proceeds, if any, that are to be paid on the claim of loss on the Property. Purchaser shall make this election in writing within ten (10) calendar days following the date Purchaser has been notified in writing by Seller of the amount of said insurance proceeds, if any. In the event that Seller fails to notify Purchaser of the amount of said insurance proceeds, if any, within thirty (30) calendar days following the occurrence of such damage or destruction, Purchaser may, at Purchaser's option, cancel this Sales Contract.

8. Purchaser shall be entitled to possession of the Property from and after the closing of this sale, except where Property is occupied by tenants in which case said tenants and/or occupants shall be given sixty (60) days written notice to vacate Property.

Possession shall be had by Purchaser after said sixty (60) day notice.

9. Time is of the essence of this Sales Contract.

Any action, suit, or other proceeding arising out of or resulting from this Sales Contract must be brought in Fulton County Superior Court or any federal court in the State of Georgia having jurisdiction thereof. The Purchaser consents and submits to the jurisdiction of such courts in any such action, suit, or proceeding, and waives any objections to the jurisdiction thereof over the Purchaser's person.

11. This Sales Contract constitutes the sole and entire agreement between the parties hereto, and no modification of this Sales Contract shall be binding unless attached hereto and signed by all parties to this Agreement. No representation, promise, or inducement not included in this Sales Contract shall be binding upon any party hereto.

12. In the event that Purchaser has obtained the services of a real estate broker or agent in connection with Purchaser's purchase of the Property, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any fees or payment due to such Real Estate Broker or Agent.

13. This Sales Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefits of the heirs, assigns, successors and personal representatives of the parties hereto.
