4.2           Prorations. At the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall prorate all items of income and expense relating to the Property based upon Buyer's and Seller's respective periods of ownership for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, with Buyer treated as the owner of the Property on the Closing Date, including, without limitation:

 

4.2.1           Rents.

 

(i)          Closing. Except as provided in subparagraph (ii) below, Seller shall pay or credit to Buyer (with respect to periods from and after the Closing Date), if, as and when the same shall be received: (A) all Rent paid by Tenants under the Leases for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, prorated for the number of days during such calendar month from, including and after the Closing, and (B) all prepaid and overpaid Rents of all Tenants under the Leases.

 

(ii)         Post-Closing. After the Closing, Buyer shall make diligent good faith efforts to collect all unpaid Rents for any period prior to the Closing, at no cost or expense to Buyer, provided that Buyer shall have no obligation to institute litigation, terminate any Leases or dispossess any Tenants in connection with any such collections except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. Any Rents due and owing Seller before the Closing Date by Tenants under the Leases that are unpaid at the Closing, are herein called "Delinquent Rents". There shall he no cash credit to Seller at Closing on account of any Delinquent Rents, but, following Closing, rental and other payments received by Buyer or Seller from Tenants, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, shall be first applied toward the payment of rent and other charges then currently owed to Buyer, and second such Rents shall be applied toward the payment of Delinquent Rents. Seller shall have and reserves the right to pursue any remedy against any Tenant owing Delinquent Rents, provided that Seller shall in no event institute any proceeding for the purpose of evicting or dispossessing a Tenant from the Property or terminating any of the Leases, and Seller shall not commence any action in a court of law to collect the Delinquent Rents (provided, however, the foregoing shall not be deemed to limit Seller's right to engage a collection agency otherwise limit the actions of such collection agency beyond the remedy limits set forth above). In connection with the foregoing, Buyer shall, at no cost or expense to Buyer, reasonably cooperate with Seller in any collection efforts hereunder. Buyer may not waive any Delinquent Rents nor modify a Lease so as to reduce or otherwise affect

 

 

amounts owed thereunder for any period in which Seller is entitled to receive a share of charges or amounts (other than in the ordinary course of business in connection with any reconciliation of operating expenses and/or taxes under the Leases or any audit thereof) without first obtaining Seller's written consent, which consent may be given or withheld in Seller's sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may, by written notice to Seller, restrict Seller from collecting such Delinquent Rents, but only if Buyer first pays Seller such Delinquent Rents in exchange for Seller's assignment to Buyer of all of Seller's rights and causes of action with respect thereto. Except as otherwise set forth herein with respect to Delinquent Rents, after the Closing, Seller shall deliver promptly to Buyer any Rents Seller receives from Tenants for any period after the Closing. Buyer's obligation hereunder shall survive the Closing.

  

4.2.2           Real Estate Taxes. All real estate taxes and assessments affecting the Property (collectively, "Tax") becoming due and payable in the year in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller to the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, if the Tax bill is not available for the year of Closing, the proration of Tax shall be based upon the most recently issued Tax bill. Promptly after the new Tax bill is issued, the Tax shall be reprorated pursuant to Section 4.2.10 below, and any discrepancy resulting from such reproration and any errors shall be promptly corrected by the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenants pay Tax directly to the taxing authority, the portion of the Tax paid directly by the Tenant to the taxing authority shall not be prorated. Buyer shall pay all Tax due and payable after Closing and reconciliations with Tenants shall be the responsibility of Buyer post-Closing pursuant to Section 4.2.10 below. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the Tax on the Property resulting from the sale of the Property or from any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date. If any portion of any assessments against the Property other than Tax that are and have been paid by Seller with respect to the Property at or prior to the Closing, determined on a cash (rather than accrual) basis relate to any time including or after the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to Seller at the Closing the amount of such other assessments paid prorated for the number of days, from, including and after the Closing. Any appeal of the Tax for calendar year 2014 shall be in Buyer's sole discretion and at Buyer's sole cost following Closing. Seller hereby agrees, at no cost to Seller, to cooperate reasonably with Buyer in connection with any appeal of the Tax for calendar year 2014.

 

(i)          Tax Refunds. All refunds of Tax received by Seller or Buyer after the Closing with respect to the Property ("Tax Refund") shall be applied (A) first, to Buyer, to the extent of third party expenses incurred by Buyer in protesting and obtaining such Tax Refund, (B) second, to Buyer to the extent that such Tax Refund is required to be paid to (or credited against other amounts payable by) the Tenants under the Leases, and (C) third, (x) to Seller if such Tax Refund is for any period which ends before the Closing Date (and is not required to be refunded to Tenants) and (y) to Buyer if such Tax Refund is for any period which commences on or after the Closing Date. If Seller or Buyer receives any Tax Refund, then each shall notify the other party and thereafter retain or pay such amounts (or portions thereof) in order that such payments are applied in the manner set forth in this Subsection.

 

(ii)         Installments. To the extent that Tax includes special assessments or installments of special assessments, for the purpose of this Section 4.2.2, Seller's prorated portion of such assessments shall be determined assuming payment over the longest period of time permitted by the applicable taxing authorities.

  

4.2.3           Utilities. At the Closing, all utilities, including, without limitation, telephone, steam, electricity and gas shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller on the basis of the most recently issued bills therefor, subject to adjustment after the Closing when the actual bills are available, or if current meter readings are available, on the basis of such readings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at or

 

 

promptly following the Closing, Buyer shall deliver written notice to each of the utility companies (with copies thereof to Seller) providing services to the Property, advising such utility companies of the transfer of the Property, and shall make appropriate arrangements with such utility companies to deliver all future bills for services to Buyer, provided, however, the Buyer hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, telephone service and lines to the Property that are in the name of the Seller will be terminated within ten (10) days after the Closing Date; accordingly, Buyer agrees that Buyer will arrange for such service to be connected in the Buyer's name at Buyer's sole cost and expense, and that failure to arrange such services prior to the termination of Seller's service shall be at Buyer's peril.

 

4.2.4           Service Contracts. With respect to the Service Contracts that are not required to be terminated by Seller hereunder, at the Closing (i) Seller shall pay or grant to Buyer as a credit against the Purchase Price the amount of accrued and unpaid charges for services rendered before the Closing Date prorated on a per diem basis, and (ii) Buyer shall pay or grant to Seller a credit in the amount of prepaid charges for services rendered from, including and after the Closing Date prorated on a per diem basis.

 

4.2.5           Security Deposits. Buyer shall receive a credit (or Seller shall pay to Buyer) at Closing in an amount equal to the total amount of refundable cash Security Deposits shown in the Lease(s) less portions thereof which were applied by Seller pursuant to the terms of the applicable Leases(s).

 

4.2.6           Reciprocal Easement Agreements. If the Property is subject to reciprocal easement agreements or similar agreements whereby expenses are shared by the parties thereto, then at the Closing (a) if such expenses are payable after the Closing Date for a period before the Closing Date, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the amount of such expenses allocated to the period before the Closing Date, prorated on a per diem basis, and (b) if such expenses were paid before the Closing Date for a period from, including and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the amount of such expenses reasonably allocated to the period from, including and after the Closing Date, prorated on a per diem basis. Seller shall request. and use good faith diligent efforts to obtain, a declaration estoppel certificate addressed to Buyer and otherwise in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit R from each "approving party", "declarant" or other "owner" under any reciprocal easement agreements or similar agreements.

4.2.9           Other. Such other items as are customarily apportioned between sellers and purchasers of real properties of a type similar to the Property and located in the State of Minnesota.

  

4.2.10         Final Reconciliation. The amount of payments by Seller or Buyer under this Section 4.2 may have been based on estimates of applicable amounts. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if any payments by Seller or Buyer at the Closing under this Section 4.2 are based on estimates, then, when the actual amounts are finally determined, Seller and Buyer shall recalculate the amounts that would have been paid at the Closing based on such actual amounts, and Seller or Buyer, as

 

 

the case may be, shall make an appropriate payment to the other based on such recalculation such that each party is made whole; provided, however, that neither party shall have the right to request apportionment or reapportionment after the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date. Without limiting the foregoing, on or before April 30, 2015, Buyer shall prepare reconciliation statements for operating expenses, common area fees and other additional rent billed to Tenants for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs (the "Tenant Contributions"), and, if the actual amounts vary from the amounts collected for Tenant Contributions, there shall be a reproration between Buyer and Seller as to the Tenant Contributions. Seller and Buyer covenant to provide the other party with any information reasonably necessary to finalize such calculation and reconciliation. Such reproration shall not be made on the basis of a per diem method of allocation, but shall instead be apportioned between Seller and Buyer on the basis of the relative share of actual expenses in question paid by Seller and Buyer during the calendar year in question.

 

4.2.11         Leasing Costs. Buyer shall be responsible for (and shall reimburse Seller at Closing for any amounts expended by Seller for) (i) leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs in connection with any extension or renewal of the term of a Lease exercised after the Contract Date but before Closing in compliance with the provisions of Section 8 of this Agreement (including without limitation, payment of the JR Anderson Commission), to the extent the term thereof is for periods from, including and after the Closing Date and the commission obligations and tenant improvement costs are set forth in the applicable Leases and/or Commission Agreements or otherwise disclosed in writing to Buyer by Seller prior to the Inspection Date, (ii) leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs in connection with any new lease or Lease amendment executed by Seller after the Contract Date but before Closing in compliance with the provisions of Section 8 of this Agreement (including without limitation, payment of the JR Anderson Commission), to the extent the term thereof is for periods from, including and after the Closing Date; and (iii) the JR Anderson Commission for leases (including new leases, renewals, extensions or expansions) entered into by Buyer or its successors or assigns within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date with tenants which Seller, Jeffrey R.

Buyer shall have until the Inspection Date to (i) examine title to the Property and the Survey, (ii) determine whether Buyer will be able to obtain any endorsements it desires and (iii) to give written notice to Seller of any objections that Buyer may have to title or the Survey (the "Title Objection Notice"), provided, however, Buyer shall have no right to object to any matters of title which constitute Permitted Title Exceptions. If Buyer shall fail to timely deliver the Title Objection Notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such right to object to any title exceptions or defects (other than any Required Cure Matters (as hereinafter defined)). If Buyer does timely deliver the Title Objection Notice to Seller, Seller shall elect, by written notice delivered to Buyer within five (5) Business Days following Seller's receipt of the Title Objection Notice to either endeavor to cure or satisfy any particular objection(s) at or prior to Closing or not to so cure or satisfy any particular title objection(s) (the "Title Response Notice"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to adjourn the Closing for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days, in order to undertake to cure or satisfy any particular objection(s) raised by Buyer in the Title Objection Notice, provided, however, that Seller shall notify Buyer, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, of its election to so adjourn the Closing. To the extent Seller shall fail to deliver the Title Response Notice to Buyer within the time required therefor or shall elect not to cure any particular title objection(s) by Closing, then Buyer may elect, by written notice to Seller within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Title Response Notice or Seller's failure to timely deliver the Title Response Notice, either to (a) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer by Escrow Agent and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive any such termination, or (b) waive its objections hereunder and proceed with the transaction pursuant to the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement, without any reduction in the Purchase Price. Except for Required Cure Matters, Seller shall not be required to cure any matter objected to by Buyer. If Buyer fails to so give Seller notice of its election within the timeframe required therefor, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected the option contained in subpart (b) above. If Seller does so reasonably cure or satisfy, or undertake to reasonably cure or satisfy, such objection to the satisfaction of Buyer, then this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Buyer shall have the right at any time to waive any objections that it may have made and, thereby, to preserve this Agreement in full force and effect. As used herein "Required Cure Matters" means those monetary liens which are: (i) liens resulting from a judgment against the Seller, (ii) liens relating to financing or debt of the Seller, (iii) mechanic's liens relating to work for which Seller (or an affiliate of Seller) has contracted to perform and, and (iv) delinquent tax liens against the Seller.

 

The foregoing procedures for making and responding to objections to title exceptions and survey matters shall also apply with respect to any objections to title exceptions (other than Permitted Title Exceptions) which first appear on updates of the Title Commitment received by Buyer after the date of the Title Objection Notice (and Buyer shall promptly provide Seller with copies of any updated Title Commitments and Schedule B items first shown in such updated commitments) or any survey matters that did not exist as of the date of the Title Objection Notice (other than Permitted Title Exceptions), except that all such objections must be made on or before the earlier of five (5) Business Days after Buyer becomes aware of such title exceptions or survey matters or the Closing Date, and all agreements to cure and termination rights relating thereto must be made or exercised, as applicable, on or before the earlier of

 

 

the lime periods provided in the previous paragraph or the Closing Date (subject to Seller's right to adjourn the Closing as hereinabove provided).

  

If, on the Closing Date, there are any liens or encumbrances that Seller elects or is required to discharge under this Agreement, Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to either (i) arrange for affirmative title insurance or special endorsements insuring against enforcement of such liens or encumbrances against, or collection of the same out of, the Property, the form and content of which are subject to the reasonable approval of Buyer, which approval may be withheld by Buyer in its sole but reasonable discretion, or (ii) use any portion of the Purchase Price to pay and discharge the same, either by way of payment or by alternative manner reasonably satisfactory to the Title Insurer,

 

If, on the Closing Date, Seller fails to satisfy any valid title objections that it has expressly agreed to satisfy or any Required Cure Matters, then, at the option of Buyer, Buyer may (x) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer promptly upon request, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the Pursuit Costs promptly following Seller's receipt of reasonable evidence thereof, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall expire (except for those which expressly survive such termination) and this Agreement shall become null and void or (y) waive such satisfaction and performance and elect to close, and all objections so waived shall thereafter constitute Permitted Title Exceptions.

 

Section 6.          Buyer's Inspection.

 

6.1           Document Inspection. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Buyer shall review and inspect the Seller Diligence Deliveries and any other documents provided or made available by Seller or obtained by Buyer. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the closing documents, Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Seller Diligence Deliveries or any other studies, documents, reports or other information provided to Buyer by Seller.

 

6.2           Physical Inspection. Subject to the Leases, any restrictions of record and applicable laws, Buyer and its agents shall have the right, from time to time for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, during normal business hours, to enter upon the Property to examine the same and the condition thereof, and to conduct such surveys and to make such engineering and other inspections, tests and studies as Buyer shall determine to be reasonably necessary, all at Buyer's sole cost and expense, including, without limitation, a Phase I environmental report and a roof survey and report. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not conduct or allow any physically intrusive testing of, on or under the Property, without Seller's consent, which consent can be withheld in Seller's sole discretion. Buyer agrees to give Seller reasonable advance written notice of such examinations or surveys and to conduct such examinations or surveys during normal business hours to the extent practicable. Buyer agrees to conduct all examinations and surveys of the Property in accordance with all applicable laws and in a manner that will not interfere in any material respect with the operations of Seller or Tenants thereon and will not knowingly harm or damage the Property or cause any claim adverse to Seller or any Tenant, and agrees to repair or restore the Property to its condition prior to any such examinations or surveys immediately after conducting the same, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Buyer shall not make any on-site contact with any current or prior Tenants concerning the Property without Seller's prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Seller shall have the right to be present during any such contacts, provided that the unavailability of a representative of Seller shall not be a basis to delay or hinder an on-site contact by Buyer. Except for the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller and its agents, employees and contractors, and except to the extent of any claims resulting from Buyer's mere discovery of any existing conditions at the Property (including any diminution of value of the Property resulting from such discovery), Buyer hereby indemnifies and holds Seller and any agent, advisor, representative, affiliate, employee, director, partner, member, beneficiary, investor, servant, shareholder,

 

 

subsidiary, trustee or other person or entity acting on Seller's behalf or otherwise related to or affiliated with Seller (collectively, "Seller Related Parties") harmless from and against any claims for injury or death to persons, damage to property or other losses, damages or claims, including, without limitation, claims of any tenant(s) then in possession, and including, without limitation, in each instance, reasonable attorneys' fees and litigation costs, arising out of (i) the entry on the Property by or any action of, any person or firm entering the Property on Buyer's behalf as aforesaid or, (ii) any breach by Buyer of its obligations under this Section, or (iii) any liens caused by or on behalf of Buyer, which indemnity shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement. Prior to, and as a condition to any entry on the Property by Buyer or its agents for the purposes set forth in this Section 6.2, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a certificate of insurance evidencing commercial general liability coverage (including coverage for contractual indemnities) with a combined single limit of at least $2,000,000.00 and excess umbrella coverage for bodily injury and property damage in the amount of $5,000,000.00, in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller, covering any activity, accident or damage arising in connection with Buyer or agents of Buyer on the Property, and naming Seller, as an additional insured.

  

6.3           Formal Inspection Period. Buyer's obligation to close under this Agreement is subject to and conditioned upon Buyer's investigation and study of and satisfaction with the Property as set forth in this Section 6. Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m. E.S.T. on the Inspection Date in which to make such investigations and studies with respect to the Property as Buyer deems appropriate and to terminate this Agreement, by written notice delivered to Seller, if Buyer is not, for any reason, in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion, satisfied with the Property, in which case the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder except for those obligations of Buyer set forth in Sections 6.2 and 6.4. If Buyer fails to deliver written notice to Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement on or before 5:00 p.m. E.S.T. on the Inspection Date, then Buyer's termination rights under this Section 6 shall be deemed to have been waived by Buyer, the Earnest Money shall be non-refundable, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, and the parties shall proceed with the transaction pursuant to the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

6.4           Confidentiality. Buyer and its representatives shall hold in confidence all non-public data and information relating to the Property, the Leases, the Tenants or the Seller or its or their business, whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement (including without limitation, all documents, data and information provided by or on behalf of Seller as part of the Seller Diligence Deliveries). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may disclose confidential information (i) to its respective consultants, investors, lenders, appraisers, attorneys, accountants, advisers, and affiliates (collectively, "Buyer Related Parties"), provided Buyer shall advise such parties of the confidential nature of such information and that such parties are required to maintain the confidentiality thereof, (ii) to the extent Buyer is required to disclose the same pursuant to a court order, applicable laws (including making such public statements or filings as may be required under any regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to Buyer or its affiliates), or (iii) to the extent necessary to disclose in the context of a legal dispute between Buyer and Seller. Buyer and the Buyer Related Parties shall not be obligated to keep confidential any information that (1) is already in the public domain, (2) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by one of the Buyer Related Parties or by Buyer, or (3) is or becomes available to Buyer on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller who, to Buyer's knowledge, is not subject to a confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation of secrecy to, Seller prohibiting such disclosure. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any claim, liability, cost or expense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Seller solely and directly as a result of any disclosure by a Buyer Related Party in violation of the terms of this Section 6.4, which may be asserted against Seller by any Tenant. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Buyer or its representatives of this Section 6.4, Seller shall be entitled to all remedies available hereunder, at law or in equity. Buyer acknowledges that Seller's remedies at law are insufficient to redress a breach or threatened breach of this Section 6.4 and

 

 

accordingly, Seller shall have the right of specific performance and injunctive relief to enforce Buyer's obligations hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting Seller from pursuing any other available remedy at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach of this Section 6.4. The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.         Default and Remedies.

 

11.1         Buyer's Default. Buyer shall have committed a default hereunder if Buyer commits a default under the terms of this Agreement, which is not cured within five (5) days after written notice thereof from Seller; provided, however, that Buyer will not have the right to cure with respect to its default in failing to deliver the Purchase Price in immediately available funds required under Section 10.3.1. In the event of a default by Buyer under this Section 11.1, Seller may, as Seller's sole and exclusive remedy, elect to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of its election to terminate to Buyer and Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent shall thereafter disburse the Earnest Money

 

 

to Seller, and Seller shall be entitled to retain the Earnest Money for such default of Buyer, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive any such termination. It is hereby agreed that Seller's damages in the event of a default by Buyer hereunder are uncertain and difficult to ascertain, and that the Earnest Money constitutes a reasonable liquidation of such damages and is intended not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall waive or diminish any right or remedy Seller may have at law or in equity for Buyer's default or breach of Section 6.2 or Section 6.4 of this Agreement. This provision shall expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any punitive, speculative, consequential or other damages or any other remedy at law or in equity except in connection with Buyer's indemnification obligations hereunder.

 

11.2          Seller's Default. Seller shall have committed a default hereunder if Seller commits a default under the terms of this Agreement that is not cured by Seller as provided hereunder. Subject to Section 7.3, in the event of a default by Seller under this Section 11.2, Buyer's sole and exclusive remedies hereunder shall be to either (a) terminate this Agreement, whereupon Buyer will receive a refund of the Earnest Money from Escrow Agent, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the Pursuit Costs promptly following Seller's receipt of reasonable evidence thereof and neither party hereto shall have any further obligation or liability to the other (except with respect to those provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive the termination hereof), and except as otherwise provided herein, Buyer waives any right or claim to damages for Seller's breach, or (b) seek specific performance of Seller's obligations under this Agreement (but no other action, for damages or otherwise, shall he permitted), and if Buyer prevails, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all reasonable legal fees, court costs and costs related to such action not to exceed $100,000 under this Agreement, in the aggregate); provided that any action by Buyer for specific performance must be filed, if at all, within ninety (90) days of Seller's default, and the failure to file within such period shall constitute a waiver by Buyer of such right and remedy. If Buyer shall not have filed an action for specific performance within the aforementioned time period or so notified Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement, Buyer's sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement in accordance with clause (a) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that specific performance is not available as a remedy because Seller (i) conveys fee simple title to all or a portion of the Property to a third party transferee prior to the Closing, or (ii) fails to close the transactions contemplated hereby as a result of an injunction lawfully filed by a third party as a result of a legally binding, currently effective contract executed by Seller prior to the Closing Date, then Buyer shall be entitled to recover from Seller Buyer's actual damages in an amount not to exceed the difference between the Purchase Price hereunder and the purchase price Seller actually receives from such third party transferee.

 

11.3       Limitation on Liability.

 

11.3.1           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any document executed in connection herewith, the aggregate liability of Seller arising pursuant to or in connection with the representations, warranties, indemnifications, covenants or other obligations (whether express or implied) of Seller under this Agreement, collectively (or any document or certificate executed or delivered in connection herewith) shall not exceed $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate (excluding prorations, commissions and attorneys' fees), however, Buyer shall not make any claims in connection with the representations, warranties, indemnifications, covenants or other obligations (whether express or implied) of Seller under this Agreement, unless such claims in the aggregate exceed $25,000.00.

 

11.3.2           No shareholder or agent of Seller, nor any Seller Related Parties, shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and Buyer and its successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons and entities, shall look solely to Seller's

 

 

assets for the payment of any claim or for any performance, and Buyer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability.

 

11.3.3           The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall survive the Closing or sooner termination of this Agreement.

 

11.4         Termination. Intentionally deleted.

 

Section 12.         Condemnation or Destruction.

 

12.1         Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, all or a portion of the Property is subject to a bona fide written threat of Material Condemnation (as hereinafter defined) by a body having the power of eminent domain, or is taken by eminent domain or condemnation, or sale in lieu thereof, then Seller shall promptly give Buyer written notice of such occurrence and the nature and extent of such Material Condemnation. Within ten (10) Business Days after written notification to Buyer of the estimated amount of the condemnation award resulting from a Material Condemnation, as determined by a third party independent contractor, engineer or appraiser selected by Seller, subject to Buyer's reasonable approval (the "Appraiser"), Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller. For purposes hereof, a "Material Condemnation" shall be one which results or would (a) result in damage or loss affecting the Property, collectively, in an amount greater than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00), in the aggregate, as determined by the Appraiser; (b) materially affect access to and/or from the Property, or reduce the number of parking spaces on the Property below the number of parking spaces required under private restrictions or governmental rules, laws or regulations affecting the Property; (c) permit a Tenant to terminate its Lease or (d) the Property will take more than twelve (12) months to be restored to a usable commercial asset as it was prior to the taking. in the event of a Material Condemnation, the Closing Date shall be extended if necessary, if and to the extent necessary to allow Seller to obtain the above described damage estimate from the Appraiser and to provide for said ten (10) Business Day Buyer termination period; provided, however, in no event shall such extension of the Closing Date exceed forty-five (45) days unless otherwise agreed by Seller and Buyer.

 

12.2         Damage or Destruction. If, prior to the Closing, a Material Casualty (as hereafter defined) shall affect the Property, Seller agrees to promptly give Buyer written notice of such occurrence and the nature and extent of such damage and destruction. Within ten (10) Business Days after written notification to Buyer of the estimated amount of the damages to the Property resulting from a Material Casualty, as determined by the Appraiser, Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller. For purposes hereof, a "Material Casualty" shall be a casualty which: (a) results or would result in damage or loss affecting the Property and the Adjacent Property, collectively, in an amount greater than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00), in the aggregate, as determined by the Appraiser; (b) materially affects access to and/or from the Property, or reduces the number of parking spaces on the Property below the number of parking spaces required under private restrictions or governmental rules, laws or regulations affecting the Property; (c) permits a Tenant to terminate its Lease; (d) will take more than twelve (12) months for the Property to be restored to a usable commercial asset as it was prior to the casualty; or (e) results in an uninsured damage or loss affecting the Property. In the event of a Material Casualty, the Closing Date shall be extended if and to the extent necessary to allow Seller to obtain the above described damage estimate from the Appraiser and to provide for said ten (10) Business Day Buyer termination period; provided, however, in no event shall such extension of the Closing Date exceed forty-five (45) days unless otherwise agreed by Seller and Buyer.

 

12.3         Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as a result of the provisions of Sections 12.1 or 12.2 hereof, Buyer shall be entitled to receive a refund of the Earnest Money from Escrow Agent,

 

 

whereupon the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive any such termination.

  

12.4 Awards and Proceeds. if a casualty or condemnation that is not a Material Casualty or a Material Condemnation shall occur and Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement following any Material Condemnation or Material Casualty, as provided above, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the conveyance of the Property contemplated herein, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, or sale in lieu thereof, shall be effected with no further adjustments. Seller shall have no obligation to restore, repair and replace any portion of the Property or any such damage or destruction. At the Closing, Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Buyer all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any awards, payments or insurance proceeds and pay Buyer deductibles under such policies, less the amount (x) of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Seller in connection with the repair of such damage or destruction or collection costs of Seller respecting any awards or other proceeds for such taking by eminent domain or condemnation and/or (y) attributable to lost rents applicable to any period prior to the Closing Date. Seller will keep Buyer informed and will reasonably cooperate with Buyer regarding any adjustments of a casualty loss.

 

Section 13.         Assignment by Buyer. Buyer may not assign its rights under this Agreement without Seller's written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Seller's sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may upon two (2) Business Days prior written notice to Seller assign this Agreement to an entity that is owned or controlled by, or under common ownership or control with Buyer, or an entity that is owned or controlled by, or under common ownership or control with, Buyer, or in which Buyer, or an individual or entity, that owns or controls Buyer, or is under common ownership or control with Buyer, is a general partner or managing member, or to ARC WEMPSMN001, LLC, or to American Realty Capital-Retail Centers of America II, Inc. and its affiliates (each an "Approved Assignee"); provided that the Approved Assignee shall assume in writing all of Buyer's obligations hereunder and under the Escrow Agreement pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in form and content acceptable to Seller in the exercise of Seller's reasonable judgment and (z) such assignment of this Agreement shall not relieve Buyer of its indemnification obligations hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement.

 

Section 14.         (Intentionally Omitted).

 

Section 15.         Brokers and Brokers' Commissions.

Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from any loss or cost suffered or incurred by it as a result of the other's representation herein being untrue. This Section 15 shall expressly survive the Closing hereunder.

The assignment of the TK Lease to Buyer at Closing will include an assignment of all right and interest of Seller to make such monthly withdrawals of the TK Rent Payment from the TK Payment Account. Seller makes no representation or warranty of the assignability or transferability of such right or interest.

 

(e)          TK Escrow. At the Closing, Seller shall deposit in escrow with Escrow Agent, from the closing proceeds received by Seller, an amount equal to Seven Hundred Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($705,000.00) (the amount set forth above is referred to herein as "Escrow Fund"), which amount represents the TK Rent Payments required to be made by Toby Keith under the TK Lease for the period from January 1, 2015 through November 30, 2015 (the "TK Rent Period"). In the event Buyer fails to pay timely receive a TK Rent Payment (whether as the result of the inability of Buyer to withdraw the TK Rent Payment from the TK Payment Account due to insufficient funds in such account or otherwise), Buyer shall be entitled to withdraw the amount of such delinquent TK Rent Payments from the Escrow Fund; provided, however, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that its right and ability to withdraw such funds from the Escrow Fund shall be limited to Ninety Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($90,000.00) in the aggregate (unless Buyer has reimbursed Seller to the extent Toby Keith actually cures its delinquent TK Rent Payments) unless Buyer provides Seller and Escrow Agent with commercially reasonable evidence that Buyer has initiated and is using commercially reasonable efforts and diligence to evict and/or dispossess Toby Keith from the TK Premises. If Buyer initiates such possessory action or otherwise terminates the TK Lease, Buyer covenants that it shall (i) commence and continue to use reasonable and diligent efforts to evict or otherwise repossess the TK Premises, and (ii) commence and continue to use reasonable and diligent efforts to collect all past due TK Rent Payments, including without limitation, all delinquent TK Rent Payments for periods prior to the Closing Date, and other rent, damages and charges due from Toby Keith under the TK Lease and (iii) after obtaining possession of the TK Premises, commence and continue to use reasonable and diligent efforts to relet the TK Premises.

 

If Buyer recovers possession of the TK Premises and/or the TK Lease is terminated pursuant to its terms, Buyer shall not unreasonably withhold its approval, execution and delivery of a lease for a replacement tenant for the TK Premises. The Escrow Fund is intended to be applied to delinquent TK Rent Payments during the TK Rent Period only and shall not be available or applied to or for any other items of rent, damages, costs, expenses, reletting commissions or other charges for which Toby Keith may be liable or responsible under the TK Lease.

 

 

Upon the earlier to occur of the expiration of the TK Rent Period or the date a replacement tenant commences paying rent following a reletting of the TK Premises to a replacement tenant for the balance of the TK Rent Period (and following Buyer's receipt of all funds horn the Escrow Fund to which Buyer is entitled prior to such expiration or commencement of the payment of rent following a reletting), the then remaining balance of the Escrow Fund shall be disbursed promptly by Escrow Agent to Seller and the escrow closed.

 

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it shall reimburse Seller for any TK Rent Payments withdrawn from the Escrow Fund which are subsequently paid by or collected from Toby Keith or its guarantors or successor, to the extent such payments by Toby Keith are applicable to the periods for which the TK Rent Payments were withdrawn.

 

(1)         Confidentiality. As a material consideration for Seller's agreement under this Section 18.19, Buyer hereby covenants and agrees for and on behalf of itself, and its property managers, asset managers, successors and assigns and its and their officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents and all other related parties, to keep the terms of this Section 18.19 strictly confidential.

 

(g)          Survival. The provisions of this Section 18.19 shall survive the Closing.

 

18.20 Further Assurances. Seller and Buyer will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, assignments, notices, transfers and assurances as may be reasonably required by the other party, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring and confirming unto Buyer the Property and for carrying out the intentions or facilitating the consummation of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.
