ARTICLE 8

PRORATIONS, DEPOSITS, COMMISSIONS

8.1 Prorations for Taxes. To the extent tenants are required to pay real and personal ad valorem taxes (“Taxes”) directly under their respective Leases, Taxes will not be prorated, and accordingly, Purchaser shall look solely to the tenants under their respective Leases for payment of all Taxes. To the extent tenants are not required to pay Taxes directly under their respective Leases, then the following shall apply with respect to the proration of Taxes:

8.1.1 If Taxes for the year of Closing are not known or cannot be reasonably estimated, Taxes shall be prorated based on Taxes for the year prior to Closing;

8.1.2 Any additional Taxes relating to the year of Closing arising out of a change in ownership shall be assumed by Purchaser effective as of Closing and paid by Purchaser when due and payable, and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller from and against any and all such Taxes, which indemnification obligation shall survive the Closing; and

8.3.2 Tenant Receivables. Rents due from tenants under Leases and from tenants or licensees under License Agreements and Operating Expenses and Taxes payable by tenants under Leases and licenses under License Agreements (collectively, “Tenant Receivables”) and not collected by the Subsidiary as of Closing shall not be prorated between Seller and Purchaser at Closing but shall be apportioned on the basis of the period for which the same is payable and if, as and when collected, as follows:

(a) Tenant Receivables and other income received from tenants under Leases, and/or tenants or licensees under License Agreements after Closing shall be applied in the following order of priority: (1) first, to payment of the current Tenant Receivables then due for the month in which the Closing Date occurs, which amount shall be apportioned between Purchaser and Seller as of the Closing Date as set forth in Section 8.3 hereof (with Seller’s portion thereof to be delivered to Seller); (2) second, to payment of Tenant Receivables first coming due after Closing but applicable to the period of time before Closing, (collectively, “Unbilled Tenant Receivables”), which amount shall be delivered to Seller; (3) third, to Tenant Receivables first coming due after Closing and applicable to the period of time after Closing, which amount shall be retained by the Subsidiary; and (4) thereafter, to delinquent Tenant Receivables which were due and payable as of Closing but not collected by the Subsidiary as of Closing (collectively, “Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables”), which amount shall be delivered to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have the right to pursue on behalf of the Subsidiary the collection of Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables for a period of six (6) months after Closing without prejudice to Seller’s rights or Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, provided, however, Seller shall have no right to cause the Subsidiary to cause any such tenant or licensee to be evicted or to exercise any other “landlord” remedy (as set forth in such tenant’s Lease or licensee’s License Agreement) against such tenant other than to sue for collection. Any sums received by the Subsidiary to which Seller is entitled shall be held in trust for Seller on account of such past due rents payable to the Subsidiary, and Purchaser shall remit to Seller any such sums received by the Subsidiary to which Seller is entitled within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof less reasonable, actual costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and disbursements, if any.

The provisions of this Section 8.3.2(a) shall survive the Closing.

 

-27-


(b) Purchaser acknowledges that the Subsidiary as the landlord under the Leases (and/or as the licensors under the License Agreements) may be collecting from tenants under the Leases (and/or licensees under the License Agreements) additional rent relating to Operating Expenses or Taxes. To the extent that any such additional rent is paid by any tenants to the landlord under the Leases (and/or by any licensees to the licensor under the License Agreements) based on an estimated payment basis (whether monthly, quarterly, or otherwise) for which a future reconciliation of actual Operating Expenses or Taxes to estimated payments of Operating Expenses or Taxes is required to be performed at the end of a reconciliation period, Purchaser and Seller shall determine prior to the Closing whether such tenants and/or licensees have, in the aggregate, made an overpayment or underpayment of additional rent relating to Operating Expenses or Taxes (such determination to be based on a comparison of reasonable estimates of actual annual Operating Expenses and Taxes to the estimated payments being made by such tenants and/or licensees). If such determination indicates that such tenants and/or licensees have made an overpayment of additional rent relating to Operating Expenses or Taxes, Purchaser shall receive a credit toward the Purchase Price in the amount of such overpayment and the Subsidiary shall retain all obligations and liabilities relating to such overpayment. If, however, such determination indicates that such tenants and/or licensees have made an underpayment of additional rent relating to Operating Expenses or Taxes, Purchaser shall cause the Subsidiary to bill the tenants for the same promptly after the Closing and remit the same to Seller as and when collected. If such review indicates that it cannot be determined as of the Closing Date whether a tenant has overpaid or underpaid its additional rent relating to Operating Expenses or Taxes, Purchaser shall cause the Subsidiary to bill the tenant for the same at the end of the reconciliation period, and any overpayment with respect to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser or any underpayment with respect to the period prior to the Closing Date, when received from the tenant, shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent Purchaser, Seller or the Subsidiary receives a check or wire transfer from any tenant in the exact amount of the item payable by such tenant or referencing the item to which the check or wire transfer relates, such check or wire transfer shall be (i) applied directly to the applicable item or (ii) if such item was previously paid by the Subsidiary during Seller’s Ownership Period, reimbursed to Seller, or if such item was paid by the Subsidiary thereafter, reimbursed to Purchaser.

8.4 Miscellaneous Prorations. Without duplication of, and to the extent not addressed by Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3, all other items that are customarily subject to proration and adjustment, including without limitation, “Base Rent”, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, it being agreed that for purposes of prorations and adjustments, Purchaser shall be deemed the owner of the Partnership Interests on the Closing Date.

8.5 Leasing Costs. Seller agrees to cause the Subsidiary pay or discharge at or prior to Closing (and provide Purchaser with evidence of payment thereof), or provide Purchaser with a credit at Closing in the amount of, all leasing commissions, costs for tenant improvements, lease buyout costs, moving allowances, design allowances, legal fees and other costs, expenses and allowances incurred in order to induce a tenant to enter into a Lease or Lease renewal or extension or to induce a licensee to enter into a License Agreement (collectively, the “Leasing

 

-28-


Costs”) that are indicated on Schedule 9.1.5 as being payable by Seller. Purchaser agrees to cause the Subsidiary to pay all Leasing Costs indicated on Schedule 9.1.5 as being payable by Purchaser as and when they become due. Seller shall have no obligation to pay, and as of Closing the Subsidiary shall retain, the obligation to pay, all Leasing Costs payable with respect to any option to renew or option to expand that has not been exercised prior to the Effective Date, which obligation shall survive the Closing.

8.6 Closing Costs. Closing costs shall be allocated between Seller and Purchaser in accordance with Section 1.2.

8.7 Final Adjustment After Closing. If final bills are not available or cannot be issued prior to Closing for any item being prorated under Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.5, then Purchaser and Seller agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as such bills are available, final adjustment to be made as soon as reasonably possible after the Closing. Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due within thirty (30) days of written notice. All such rights and obligations shall survive the Closing.

8.8 Tenant Deposits. All tenant and licensee security deposits collected and not applied by the Subsidiary (and interest thereon if required by law or contract) as of the Closing Date shall be retained by the Subsidiary at Closing. As of the Closing, the Subsidiary shall retain their obligations related to tenant and licensee security deposits, but only to the extent the security deposits are retained by the Subsidiary at Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.8, deposits in the form of letters of credit will not be transferred or credited at the Closing. All letters of credit will remain in the name of the Subsidiary at Closing. Purchaser and Seller shall each pay one-half (1/2) of the costs and expenses, if any, of delivering the letters of credit to Purchaser. In the event that prior to a transfer of any such letter of credit to Purchaser, Purchaser deems it advisable to cause the Subsidiary to draw on the same, Seller will cooperate in such presentation, and direct payment by virtue of any such presentation to the Subsidiary, and if Seller receives any such payment it will promptly deliver such payment in the form received and endorsed, without recourse, to Purchaser on behalf of the Subsidiary. Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold Seller harmless from all claims, causes of actions, actions, damages, costs, liabilities and expenses, including (without limitation) reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may arise out of any such presentation or related payment, other than by reason of any actions of Seller other than at the written direction of Purchaser. If any security deposit is held in a form other than cash or a letter of credit, for example, debt or equity securities, at Closing, such debt or equity securities shall continue to be held by the Subsidiary.

8.9 Commissions. Seller is responsible to Financial Advisor for a real estate fee at Closing in accordance with a separate agreement between Seller and Financial Advisor and at Closing Seller shall pay to Financial Advisor the entire real estate fee due under the separate agreement between Seller and Financial Advisor. Financial Advisor may share its commission with any other financial advisor or licensed broker involved in this transaction. Subject to Seller’s representations in this Section 8.9, under no circumstances shall Seller owe a commission or other compensation directly to any financial advisor, broker, agent or person

 

-29-


other than Financial Advisor. No affiliate, subsidiary or party related in any way to Purchaser shall claim a commission or fee from Seller or Financial Advisor. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that no real estate brokerage commission or real estate fee is payable to any person or entity in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby other than Financial Advisor, and agrees to and does hereby indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless against the payment of any commission or real estate fee to any other person or entity claiming by, through or under Seller including Financial Advisor. Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that no real estate brokerage commission or real estate fee is payable to any person or entity in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, and agrees to and does hereby indemnify and hold Seller harmless against the payment of any commission or real estate fee to any other person or entity claiming by, through or under Purchaser excluding Financial Advisor. The foregoing indemnifications shall extend to any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs) arising as a result of such claims and shall survive the Closing.

8.10 Accounts. At or prior to Closing, Seller shall cause all then existing accounts in the name of the Subsidiary to be closed and the proceeds therein distributed to Seller.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Seller on behalf of the Subsidiary settle any Pre-Closing Tax Appeal without the prior consent of Purchaser, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless Seller is required to settle such Pre-Closing Tax Appeal on behalf of the Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of the applicable Lease. If Seller elects not to pursue on behalf of the Subsidiary any Pre-Closing Tax Appeal, Seller shall so notify Purchaser within a reasonable period after the Closing, and Purchaser, at its option, may elect to pursue on behalf of the Subsidiary such Pre-Closing Tax Appeal, unless Purchaser is required to pursue on behalf of the Subsidiary such Pre-Closing Tax Appeal pursuant to the terms of the applicable Leases, in which case Purchaser shall pursue on behalf the Subsidiary such Pre-Closing Tax Appeal.

Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to inspect the Property and observe its physical characteristics and existing conditions and the opportunity to conduct such investigation and study on and of the Property and adjacent areas as Purchaser deems necessary, and, except as set forth herein or in any Closing document, Purchaser hereby FOREVER RELEASES AND DISCHARGES Seller from all responsibility and liability, including without limitation, liabilities and responsibilities for the landlord’s obligations under the Leases relating to the physical, environmental or legal compliance status of the Property, arising after the Effective Date, and liabilities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act Of 1980 (42 U.S.C. Sections 9601 et seq.), as amended (“CERCLA”), regarding the condition, valuation, salability or utility of the Property or its suitability for any purpose whatsoever (including, but not limited to, with respect to the presence in the soil, air, structures and surface and subsurface waters, of Hazardous Materials or other materials or substances that have been or may in the future be determined to be toxic, hazardous, undesirable or subject to regulation and that may need to be specially treated, handled and/or removed from the Property under current or future federal, state and local laws, regulations or guidelines, and any structural and geologic conditions, subsurface soil and water conditions and solid and hazardous waste and Hazardous Materials on, under, adjacent to or otherwise affecting the Property). Except as set forth herein or in any closing documents, Purchaser further hereby WAIVES (and by Closing this transaction will be deemed to have WAIVED) any and all objections and complaints (including, but not limited to, federal, state and local statutory and common law based actions, and any private right of action under any federal, state or local laws, regulations or guidelines to which the Property are or may be subject, including, but not limited to, CERCLA) concerning the physical characteristics and any existing conditions of the Property, including, without limitation, the landlord’s obligations under the Leases relating to the physical, environmental or legal compliance status of the Property, arising after the Effective Date. Purchaser further hereby assumes the risk of changes in applicable laws and regulations relating to past, present and future environmental conditions on the Property and the risk that adverse physical characteristics and conditions, including, without limitation, the presence of Hazardous Materials or other contaminants, may not have been revealed by its investigation.

11.4 “Hazardous Materials” Defined. For purposes hereof, “Hazardous Materials”“ means “Hazardous Material,” “Hazardous Substance,” “Pollutant or Contaminant,” and “Petroleum” and “Natural Gas Liquids,” as those terms are defined or used in Section 101 of CERCLA, and any other substances regulated because of their effect or potential effect on public health and the environment, including, without limitation, PCBs, lead paint, asbestos, urea formaldehyde, radioactive materials, putrescible materials, and infectious materials.

11.5 Intentionally Deleted.

11.6 Survival. The terms and conditions of this ARTICLE 11 shall expressly survive the Closing, and shall not merge with the provisions of any closing documents.

Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the disclaimers and other agreements set forth herein are an integral part of this Agreement and that Seller would not have agreed to sell the Partnership Interests to Purchaser for the Purchase Price without the disclaimers and other agreements set forth above.

ARTICLE 12

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Parties Bound; Assignment. This Agreement, and the terms, covenants, and conditions herein contained, shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns of each of the parties hereto. Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to Seller, assign its rights under this Agreement upon the following conditions: (a) the assignee of Purchaser must be (i) an entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Purchaser or (ii) an entity advised by an affiliate of Purchaser’s advisor, Dividend Capital Total Advisors LLC, (b) Intentionally Deleted, (c) Intentionally Deleted, (d) the assignee of Purchaser shall assume all obligations of Purchaser hereunder, but Purchaser shall remain primarily liable for the performance of Purchaser’s obligations, (e) a copy of the fully executed written assignment and assumption agreement shall be delivered to Seller at least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, (f) the requirements in Section 12.17 are satisfied and (g) such assignment shall in no event delay the Closing.

12.2 Headings. The article, section, subsection, paragraph and/or other headings of this Agreement are for convenience only and in no way limit or enlarge the scope or meaning of the language hereof.

12.3 Invalidity and Waiver. If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid or inoperative, then so far as is reasonable and possible the remainder of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and operative, and, to the greatest extent legally possible, effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion held invalid or inoperative. The failure by either party to enforce against the other any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s right to enforce against the other party the same or any other such term or provision in the future.

 

-42-


12.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects, including validity, construction, interpretation and effect, by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Each of Purchaser and Seller hereby (i) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the State, City and County of New York for the purpose of any action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than a New York state court or federal court located in the State, City and County of New York. Each of Purchaser and Seller hereby consents to and grants any such court jurisdiction over the person of such party and over the subject matter of any such dispute and agrees that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 12.10, or in such other manner as may be permitted by law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof on such party.

12.5 Survival. The provisions of this Agreement that contemplate performance after the Closing and the obligations of the parties not fully performed at the Closing (other than any unfulfilled closing conditions which have been waived or deemed waived by the other party) shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing.

12.6 Entirety and Amendments. The exclusivity obligations and covenants set forth in that certain letter of intent dated April 2, 2010 between iStar Financial Inc., on behalf of Seller, and Purchaser are hereby incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the Property. This Agreement may be amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing executed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. All Schedules and Exhibits hereto are incorporated herein by this reference for all purposes. All information disclosed on any one Schedule and not disclosed on the other Schedules shall, to the extent applicable, be deemed to be disclosed on such other Schedules.

12.7 Time. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.

12.8 Intentionally Omitted.

12.9 No Electronic Transactions. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree this Agreement shall not be executed, entered into, altered, amended or modified by electronic means. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereby agree the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not be conducted by electronic means, except as specifically set forth in the “Notices” section of this Agreement.

12.10 Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be served on the parties at the addresses set forth in Section 1.3. Any such notices shall, unless otherwise provided herein, be given or served (a) by depositing the same in the United States mail, postage paid, certified and addressed to the party to be notified, with return receipt requested, (b) by overnight delivery using a nationally recognized overnight courier, (c) by

 

-43-


personal delivery, or (d) by Portable Document Format (PDF) so long as a copy thereof is also sent by one of the other delivery methods set forth in Sections 12.10(a), (b) or (c). Notice given in accordance herewith for all permitted forms of notice other than by electronic mail, shall be effective upon the earlier to occur of actual delivery to the address of the addressee or refusal of receipt by the addressee. In no event shall this Agreement be altered, amended or modified by electronic mail or electronic record. A party’s address may be changed by written notice to the other party; provided, however, that no notice of a change of address shall be effective until actual receipt of such notice. Copies of notices are for informational purposes only, and a failure to give or receive copies of any notice shall not be deemed a failure to give notice. Notices given by counsel to the Purchaser shall be deemed given by Purchaser and notices given by counsel to the Seller shall be deemed given by Seller.

12.11 Construction. The parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and agree that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto.

12.12 Calculation of Time Periods; Business Day. Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless such last day is not a Business Day, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is a Business Day. The last day of any period of time described herein shall be deemed to end at midnight local time in New York, New York. As used herein, the term “Business Day”“ means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for national banks in the City of New York, New York or Colorado.

12.13 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall constitute one Agreement.

12.14 Recordation. Without the prior written consent of Seller, there shall be no recordation of either this Agreement or any memorandum hereof, or any affidavit pertaining hereto, and any such recordation of this Agreement or memorandum or affidavit by Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller shall constitute a default hereunder by Purchaser, whereupon Seller shall have the remedies set forth in Section 10.1 hereof. In addition to any such remedies, Purchaser shall be obligated to execute an instrument in recordable form releasing this Agreement or memorandum or affidavit, and Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to this Section 12.14 shall survive any termination of this Agreement as a surviving obligation.

12.15 Further Assurances. In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed and/or delivered by either party at Closing, each party agrees to perform, execute and deliver, but without any obligation to incur any additional liability or expense, on or after the Closing any further deliveries and assurances as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or to further perfect the transfer of the Partnership Interests to Purchaser.

 

-44-


12.16 Discharge of Obligations. The acceptance of the Partnership Interests Power by Purchaser shall be deemed to be a full performance and discharge of every representation and warranty made by Seller herein and every agreement and obligation on the part of Seller to be performed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, except those which are herein specifically stated to survive Closing.

12.17 ERISA. Under no circumstances shall Purchaser have the right to assign this Agreement to any person or entity owned or controlled by an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) if Seller’s sale of the Partnership Interests to such person or entity would, in the reasonable opinion of Seller’s ERISA advisors or consultants, create or otherwise cause a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA or any other applicable law with an effect similar to that of Section 406 of ERISA including, but not limited to, Section 4975 of the Code (each such law, a “Similar Law”). In the event Purchaser assigns this Agreement or transfers any ownership interest in Purchaser, and such assignment or transfer would make the consummation of the transaction hereunder a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA or any Similar Law and would therefore either (a) necessitate the termination of this Agreement, or (b) cause Seller to incur liability under ERISA or such Similar Law if the transaction were consummated, then, in either case, notwithstanding any contrary provision which may be contained herein, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and thereafter the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for rights and obligations which, by their terms, survive the termination hereof. Anything in this Section 12.17 to the contrary notwithstanding, Seller shall have no right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.17 if Purchaser’s assignee expressly reaffirms in a writing addressed to Seller the representation in Section 9.2.5.

12.18 No Third Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser only and are not for the benefit of any third party, and accordingly, no third party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing, except that a tenant of the Property may enforce Purchaser’s indemnity obligation under Section 4.10 hereof.

12.19 Reporting Person. Purchaser and Seller hereby designate First American as the “reporting person” pursuant to the provisions of Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

12.20 Post-Closing Access. From and after the Closing, the Purchaser will, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, permit Seller and Seller’s agents and representatives access (and will permit copying of materials pertaining to the period prior to the Closing), during business hours from time to time, to the Lease Files and other Property-related information upon reasonable advance notice to the Purchaser. This Section 12.20 shall survive the Closing.

12.21 Waiver of Jury Trial. SELLER AND PURCHASER HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE RELATED DOCUMENTS, ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN SELLER AND PURCHASER RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE TRANSACTIONS

 

-45-


CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED BETWEEN SELLER AND PURCHASER. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS). THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RELATED DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

12.22 Information and Audit Cooperation. Within 75 days after the Closing Date, Seller, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to Seller, shall allow Purchaser’s auditors access to the books and records of Seller relating to the operation of the Property for the two (2) year period prior to the Closing Date to enable Purchaser to comply with any financial reporting requirements applicable to Purchaser, upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Seller. In addition, Seller shall provide Purchaser’s designated independent auditors a representation letter regarding the books and records of the Property in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit H.

12.23 Bulk Sales Laws . Seller shall (i) comply with the bulk transfer requirements of the state in which the Property is located, (ii) keep Purchaser apprised of Seller’s compliance with such requirements and (iii) indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser harmless of and from any and all liabilities, claims, demands and expenses of any kind or nature which arise out of the failure of Seller to so comply with such requirements.
