This Agreement, made/th'~,t~ay of ~ 2012, among ELAINE MEYER-
SYRKIN, residing at 660 Schoolhouse Road, Cutchogue, NY 11935 and JEANNE
BARNWELL residing at 32-16 213th Street, Bayside, NY 11361, individuaIly and as
Trustee of the ELAINE MEYER-SYtLKIN REVOCABLE TRUST dated April 30, 1997
Restated May 22, 2012 (hereinafter "Elaine"); and CHAP.LES F. CROFTS, JR.,
residing at 20I 5 Stillwater Avenue, Cutchogue, NY 11935 (hereinafter "Charles"), all of
whom are collectively known as the Owners.
Whereas, Elaine has acquired, through her revocable trust named above, an undivided
one half interest in the Property known as 2015 Stillwater Avenue, Cutchogue, N.Y.,
SCTM# 1000~I03.00-08.00-003.000, (the "Property") from ROSE MARIE CROFTS by
deed dated.,~-/~ 2o/,7. and to be recorded~in the Suffolk County Clerk's Office;
and
Whereas, Elaine, as Trustee, and Charles each own an undivided one-half interest in
the Property and desire to confirm their agreement regarding use and occupancy of the
property, payment of expenses, and transfers of interests in the Property.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration Ten and 00($10.00) 00/100 Dollars, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Use of the Property. Charles and Elaine shall exclusively use the Property in
common with each other for a single family dwelling only. No Owner shall permit a
guest to occupy the Property in the absence of such Owner without the consent of the
other Owner, except for transient visits by immediate family members. No Owner may
lease the Property without the written consent of both Owners.
2. Expenses. Expenses of operating the Property shall be shared equally by Elaine
and by Charles, except Charles shall pay off and satisfy the home equity mortgage
currently on the Property. If an Owner fails after 30 days notice to pay his or her share of
an expense, such share shall bear interest at 5% per annum. Expenses for purposes of this
section shall include, without limitation, insurance, utilities, service contracts, lawn
maintenance, repairs, taxes, and similar expenses, and costs of improvements agreed to
by all Owners. No capital improvements will be made to the prope .rty without the
consent of both Owners.
3. Outside Transfer. If either of the Owners desires to sell or transfer their interest in
the Property, or a portion thereof, he or she shall first offer same to the other Owner for
an amount equal to ten (10%) per cent less than one-half of the then fair market value. If
the Owners cannot agree on a price but the non-selling Owner wishes to purchase, then
the fair market value shall be determined by appraisal by a NYS Licensed appraiser. The
appraisal shall be made by an appraiser agreed upon between the Owners, or if they
cannot agree, by averaging the appraisal obtained by the Owner who is selling and the
appraisal obtained by the non-selling Owner.
If the non-selling Owner agrees to purchase the selling Owner's interest at the
computed value, the parties shall promptly enter into a contract of sale which shall
provide for a closing on or about 60 days from the date of the Contract. The Contract
may contain a mortgage contingency for not more than the purchase price. The non-
selling owner may take title to all or a portion of the selling owner's interest in the
property in the name of a trust of which he or she is a primary beneficiary or in the name
of one or more of his or her children.
If the non-selling Owner does not wish to purchase the selling Owner's interest or fails
to enter into a contract of sale within 30 days of the date of the appraisal (or the date the
parties agreed upon a price if no appraisal was obtained), then the non-selling Owner's
right to purchase shall terminate, and the Property shall be listed for sale and both Owners
will agree to sell to a third party at not less than 10% of the appraised value, less broker's
commission and customary seller's expenses.
4. Permitted Transfer. Any Owner may transfer his or her interest to a revocable trust
of which he or she is the Grantor and a Trustee, and the Trustees and beneficiaries shall
be bound by the provisions of this agreement. Notice of such transfer shall be given to
the other Owners, but such a transfer wilt not invoke the provisions of Paragraph 3.
5. Death of One Owner. a) Right to Occul~anc¥. In the event Elaine or Charles dies
during the ownership of the Property, the surviving Owner shall have the right to
exclusive occupancy of the residence for so long as he or she chooses to live there. In
such event, the survivor shall be fully responsible for 100% of the expenses, as defined in
Paragraph 2 and except as set forth in the following sentence. Expenses for necessary or
advisable renovations, staging, or fix up expenses, or other expenses related to effectively
marketing the house for sale (all of which are called Marketing Expenses), shall be shared
equally between the surviving Owner and the representative of the deceased Owner's
share. If the surviving Owner vacates the property, then the expenses shall be payable
50% by the surviving Owner and 50% by the representative of the deceased Owner. This
shall not be construed to allow the survivor to rent the house or allow occupancy to third
parties, other than transient guests or bona fide caregivers required for the safety and care
of the surviving Owner. b) Right to Purchase by Surviving Owner. The surviving Owner
shall have the right to purchase the Property from the representative of the deceased
Owner at any time during the lifetime of the surviving Owner, on the same terms as set
forth in Paragraph 3 above. If the surviving Owner is not living in the Property, and does
not wish to purchase the Property, the representative of the deceased Owner shall have
the right to purchase the Property on the same terms as set forth in Paragraph 3. c) Sale
of Property. If the surviving Owner decides to vacate the Property and/or wishes to sell
the Property, the surviving Owner shall offer his or her interest to the legal representative
of the deceased Owner, on the same terms as in Paragraph 3 herein. If the deceased
Owner's representative does not purchase the property, the surviving Owner shall have
the right to sell the Property on such reasonable terms and conditions as the surviving
Owner alone shall determine. The net proceeds shalI be divided equally between the
surviving Owner and the deceased Owner's estate, after payment of all reasonable and
customary expenses of sale, including without limitation the Marketing Expenses set
forth above, broker's commission, attorney's fees, and transfer tax.
6. Death of both Owners. Upon the death of the surviving Owner, or if both Owners
die in a common accident or disaster where the order of death would be impossible to
determine, the representatives of each Owner shall have the right to purchase the Property
for the highest price that either is willing to pay in excess of fair market value. If neither
representative wishes to purchase the Property, then the Property shall be sold and the net
proceeds equally divided·
7. Representative. For purposes of this Agreement, the representative of the deceased
Owner shall refer to the successor Trustee of Elaine's trust, the legal representative of
Charles' estate or if there is no such representative, then the persons or entities entitled to
inherit the Property of the deceased Owner on his or her death.
8. Mortgages and Liens. The parties agree that no mortgage lien shall be placed on
the Property without the consent of both parties. The parties further agree to keep the
Property clear of all liens and encumbrances except by mutual written agreement.
9. Notices. All notices to be given under this agreement by either party shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given to the other when personally
delivered with receipt acknowledged or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, to the address set forth on the first page of this agreement. Either party
may designate, by notice given in accordance with this paragraph, a different address for
the giving of notice pursuant to this agreement. Notices shall be deemed given on the
second business day after mailing, if mailed, or upon delivery, if given by personal
delivery.
I 0. Miscellaneous. This instrument represents the entire agreement of the parties, and
this agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument signed by
the party to be charged. In the event ora dispute resulting in litigation, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees as awarded by the Court. Any
action arising out of this agreement wilt be heard by a Judge without a jury in Suffolk
County, IT BEING AGREED THAT THE PARTIES WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY.
