Section 11.3                                Entry and Indemnity.  In connection with any entry by Buyer, or its agents, employees or contractors onto the Property, Buyer shall give Seller reasonable advance notice of such entry and shall conduct such entry and any inspections in connection therewith so as to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, interference with Seller’s business and the business of Seller’s tenants, if any, and otherwise in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller.  Without limiting the foregoing, prior to any entry to perform any on-site testing, Buyer shall give Seller notice thereof, including the identity of the company or persons who will perform such testing and the proposed scope of the testing.  In the event that Buyer proposes to perform any destructive or invasive testing, Seller shall approve or disapprove, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, the proposed destructive or invasive testing within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice.  Seller shall be deemed to have disapproved any such destructive or invasive testing if Seller does not respond within such three (3) Business Day period.  If Buyer or its agents, employees or contractors take any sample from the Property in connection with any such approved testing, at Seller’s request, Buyer shall provide to Seller a portion of such sample being tested to allow Seller, if it so chooses, to perform its own testing.  Seller or its representative may be present to observe any testing or other inspection performed on the Property.  Buyer shall maintain or cause to be maintained, and shall ensure that its contractors maintain, public liability and property damage insurance in amounts and in form and substance

Section 11.4                                Time.  Time is of the essence in the performance of each of the parties’ respective obligations contained herein.

 

Section 11.5                                Further Assurances.  The parties hereby agree to (i) take such additional actions and to execute and deliver such additional documents as shall be necessary to consummate the Transaction and (ii) execute, deliver, record and furnish such documents as may be necessary to correct any errors of a typographical nature or inconsistencies which may be contained in this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 11.5 shall survive the Closing.

 

Section 11.6                                Jury Trial Waiver.  The parties hereby agree to waive any right to trial by jury with respect to any action or proceeding brought by either party or any other Person, relating to (a) this Agreement and/or any understandings or prior dealings between the parties hereto, or (b) the Property or any part thereof.  The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that this Agreement constitutes a written consent to waiver of trial by jury pursuant to any applicable state statutes.

Section 11.9                                Counterparts and Facsimile.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  The parties contemplate that they may be executing counterparts of this Agreement transmitted by facsimile or electronic transmission and agree and intend that a signature by facsimile or electronic transmission shall bind the party so signing with the same effect as though the signature were an original signature.

Section 11.10         Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.

 

(a)           Each of Seller and Buyer hereby agree that the State of New York has a substantial relationship to the parties and to the Transaction, and in all respects (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, matters of construction, validity and performance) this Agreement and the obligations arising hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed therein (without regard to its conflict of laws principles) and all applicable law of the United States of America.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, Seller hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any claim to assert that the law of any other jurisdiction governs this Agreement.

 

(b)           Any legal suit, action or proceeding against either party arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be instituted in any federal or state court sitting in the State of New York, and Seller waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in the State of New York, and each party hereby expressly and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any suit, action or proceeding.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent or prohibit Buyer from instituting any suit, action or proceeding in any other proper venue or jurisdiction in which Seller is located or where service of process can be effectuated.

 

Section 11.11         Confidentiality.  Prior to the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall each maintain as confidential any and all Proprietary Information obtained in connection with the Transaction and, accordingly, each party agrees not to disclose all or any portion of such Proprietary Information to any third party for any reason.  Each item of Proprietary Information shall be used by the recipient thereof solely for the purpose of evaluating and determining such recipient’s interest in consummating the Transaction.  Each party agrees that it will not make copies of, or permit any other person to make copies of, the Proprietary Information for any reason.  Each party agrees that it will not retain any item of Proprietary Information after the use thereof is no longer required, and that it will either destroy or return to the other party all written materials constituting Proprietary Information, except to the extent that such destruction is prohibited by law, rule or regulation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party will be required to destroy or return any Proprietary Information that may be stored electronically in such party’s information technology system, whether in the form of an e-mail, saved file or otherwise.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each party shall be permitted to disclose any or all of the Proprietary Information to:  (i) those principals, employees, representatives, lenders, consultants, counsel, accountants and other professional advisors of such party who have a legitimate need to review or know such Proprietary Information and who have, prior to disclosure, agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of confidentiality set forth herein; and (ii) any government or self-regulatory agency whose supervision or oversight such party or any of its affiliates may be subject to the extent required by applicable law, any Governmental Authority or a court of competent jurisdiction, in each case to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with any legal or regulatory requirements to which such party or its affiliates may be subject.  Upon disclosing Proprietary Information to any Person to the extent permitted hereunder, Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall advise such Person of the confidential nature thereof, and shall take all reasonable precautions to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of such

information by such Person.  In addition, at or prior to the Closing, neither party shall issue any press release or other public announcement regarding the Transaction without first obtaining the other party’s written approval with respect to the release or announcement and the content thereof.  After the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall be permitted to make such disclosures regarding the Property and the Transaction as are similar or consistent with Buyer’s and Seller’s respective general public disclosure policy, including disclosures made by Buyer and its affiliates to their investors, lenders and analysts.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Seller shall not use the name, logo or other trademarks of the other party without the prior, written consent of the non-disclosing party, but, once the Buyer or Seller, as applicable, have provided its consent for a disclosure, publication or other marketing material containing such party’s name, logo, or other trademark, then such disclosure, publication or marketing material may thereafter be used without obtaining the non-disclosing’s party prior written consent.  This provision shall survive the Closing, or, if the Transaction is not consummated, beyond the termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 11.12         Maintenance of the Property, Insurance.  Between Seller’s execution of this Agreement and the Closing, Seller shall manage and maintain the Property in the ordinary course and in the same manner and condition as before the making of this Agreement, as if Seller were retaining the Property.  Seller shall make such repairs and replacements to and of the Property as shall be necessary for Seller to comply this Section 11.12.  Through the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain or cause to be maintained, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, the Existing Insurance Policies.

 

Section 11.13         Interpretation of Agreement.  The article, section and other headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning of any provision contained herein.  Where the context so requires, the use of the singular shall include the plural and vice versa and the use of the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter.

 

Section 11.14         General Rules of Construction.  The parties acknowledge that this Agreement has been freely negotiated by both parties, that each party has had the opportunity to review and revise this Agreement, that each party has had the opportunity to consult with counsel with regard to this Agreement, and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments or exhibits to this Agreement.

 

Section 11.15         [Intentionally Omitted].

 

Section 11.16         Limited Liability.  Any claim based on or in respect of any liability of Seller under this Agreement shall be enforced only against Seller and its assets, properties and funds, and not against the assets, properties or funds of any of its trustees, officers, directors or shareholders, the general partners, officers, directors or shareholders thereof, or any employees or agents of Seller.  Any claim based on or in respect of any liability of Buyer under this Agreement shall be enforced only against Buyer and its assets, properties and funds, and not against the assets, properties or funds of any of its trustees, officers, directors or shareholders, the general partners, officers, directors or shareholders thereof, or any employees or agents of Buyer.

 

27



 

Section 11.17         Amendments.  This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by Buyer and Seller.

 

Section 11.18         Attorney Fees.  In the event that a party hereto prevails against the other party in any action to enforce the obligations of such other party under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be reimbursed by the other for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred thereby with respect to such action (including reasonable attorneys’ fees).
