PACTRA has paid its Excess TI Reimbursement in full. Purchaser has no claim as to any Excess TI Cost Reimbursement from either DHL or PACTRA, and Seller reserves its rights to such Excess TI Cost Reimbursements. Seller will have the right to collect the Excess TI Cost Reimbursement from DHL after Closing to the extent the Excess TI Cost Reimbursement from DHL has not been paid as of the Closing Date; provided that in no event shall Seller be permitted to take any action to dispossess a Tenant of possession.

E. DIA Escrow
One Hundred Sixty-Four Thousand One Hundred Sixty-Nine Dollars ($164,169.00) (the "DIA Escrow") of the Purchase Price will be deposited into a joint order escrow with the Title Company at Closing. These funds are comprised of $21,850 for the estimated current cost to complete the Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA) improvements and the amount of $142,319 for the estimated current cost to complete the Bio-Retention Basin improvements pursuant to the letter from Kier & Wright Civil Engineers & Surveyors, Inc ("K&W"), dated April 20, 2018, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit J. The $164,169 is K&W's estimate of the work required under the DIA. Purchaser acknowledges, however, that the actual cost of the work may vary; and Seller does not represent or warrant that this estimate will be the final cost of the work. The DIA Escrow will be deemed to have completely satisfied Seller's obligations under the DIA, and Purchaser shall be responsible for all of Seller's obligations under the DIA from and after the Closing. The DIA Escrow shall be immediately released to Purchaser when Purchaser has replaced the Landscape Bond and DIA Bond as described in Section 8(C)(2)(f) below.
F. | Independent Contract Consideration. |
A portion of the Earnest Money equal to ONE HUNDRED AND N0/100ths DOLLARS ($100.00), which amount Seller and Purchaser agree has been bargained for as consideration for Seller's execution and delivery of this Agreement and Purchaser's right to inspect the Project pursuant hereto shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, be deemed non-refundable under all circumstances.

All representations and warranties of Purchaser in this Agreement shall survive the Closing indefinitely.
SECTION 5. OPERATION OF THE PROJECT PRIOR TO CLOSING AND POST-CLOSING LANDSCAPE OBLIGATION.
Seller agrees to do all of the following, from and after the date hereof and prior to the Closing:
(A) Operate and maintain the Project in the same manner as it is currently being operated and shall, subject to damage, destruction or loss to the Project in which event Purchaser shall have the rights set forth in Section 7(D) below, cause the Project to be, on the Closing Date, in the same condition as exists as of the date of this Agreement (normal wear and tear excepted).
(B) Maintain, or cause to be maintained, all existing insurance carried by Seller on the Improvements.

Promptly after the Due Diligence Deadline, Seller shall send notice terminating any Contract which Purchaser does not want to assume; and, as for any Contract (other than any property management agreement) terminated by Seller where the termination will not be effective until after Closing, Purchaser shall assume such Contracts, and shall be responsible for any normal charges payable under such Contract, but in each case only for the period from and after the Closing Date through the effective date of such termination.
(F) As an obligation that will survive the Closing, Seller will agree to use reasonable good faith efforts to confirm the initial landscape improvement acceptance date by the City of Tracy (“Acceptance Date”) under the Landscape Maintenance Agreement, such date being the date which the City of Tracy acknowledges as the commencement date of the two (2) year period under the Landscape Maintenance Agreement, during which the LMA Bond must be maintained. Seller will deliver City’s written confirmation to Purchaser, which may be in the form of an email, letter, signed permit card, notice or other City of Tracy format (“City’s Acceptance Date Confirmation”).

Should the City of Tracy find deficiencies related to poor maintenance of the Project’s landscaping which are not related to the original installation thereof (for example, dead or dying plants, broken or malfunction irrigation systems), Purchaser will be solely responsible for curing such deficiencies at its expense. Upon receipt of the City’s Acceptance Date Confirmation, Seller’s obligations under this Section 5(F) will terminate and Seller will have no further obligations under this Section 5(F). If Seller is unable to obtain the City’s Acceptance Date Confirmation within the Acceptance Date Confirmation Period, Seller shall have no further obligation with respect to the Landscape Maintenance Agreement or the landscaping at the Project; and the Purchaser shall thereafter be solely responsible with respect thereto.
SECTION 6. ACCESS TO THE PROJECT.

(A) Purchaser has obtained a current title insurance commitment from the Title Company for the Project (the "Title Commitment"); and, as soon as reasonably possible, Purchaser shall also obtain a current survey of the Project (the "Survey"). Purchaser previously delivered written notice dated May 14, 2018 ("Purchaser's Title Notice") to Seller of any matters set forth in the Survey or Title Commitment which have been disapproved by Purchaser, and all matters set forth therein which have not been disapproved by Purchaser in Purchaser's Title Notice shall be deemed "Permitted Exceptions." Seller shall have until 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the date one (1) business day following the mutual execution of this Agreement to send Purchaser written notice in its sole discretion ("Seller's Title Notice") notifying Purchaser that it has elected to correct on or prior to Closing any matters which Purchaser has disapproved; and Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any other matters set forth in Purchaser's Title Notice, provided, however, Seller shall in any event cause (i) any mortgages or deeds of trust placed on the Project by Seller to be discharged and released as of the Closing, and (ii) any judgment liens against Seller and any mechanic liens as a result of work done by Seller which are placed on the Project to be discharged and released. Notwithstanding the foregoing, due to the recent nature of the construction on the Project, Purchaser acknowledges that (1) Seller may be required to provide a separate affidavit and/or indemnity to the Title Company to eliminate any general mechanic’s lien exception from the Title Policy; and (2) Purchaser may be required to accept a specific mechanic’s lien exception for any ongoing work for which Purchaser will receive a credit at Closing or for which money has been placed in escrow with the Title Company (collectively, the “Specific Lien Issues”). Purchaser agrees that addressing the Specific Lien Issues in the manner set forth above is acceptable to Purchaser. Seller may extend the Closing Date for up to ten (10) days in order to cure any title exceptions which Seller has elected or is obligated to cure hereunder. If Seller does not elect to correct any matters disapproved by Purchaser as set forth above, Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline''' in which to elect either to waive its objection to such matters in which case such matters shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions or terminate this Agreement and obtain a refund of the Earnest Money; and Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to waive its objection to such matters if Purchaser does not notify Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline. As a condition of the Purchaser's obligation to proceed with the Closing, the Title Company shall have committed to issue to Purchaser a title insurance policy (the "Title Insurance Policy") with Purchaser named as insured, dated as of the Closing Date, with a liability limit equal to the Purchase Price, insuring that title to the Land and the Improvements is vested in Purchaser, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and Tenant Leases.
(B) As a condition of Purchaser's obligation to proceed with Closing (and not as a default), Purchaser shall be satisfied in its sole and absolute discretion with all aspects of the Project; provided, however, if Purchaser does not notify Seller by the Due Diligence Deadline that it is not so satisfied, this condition shall be deemed waived by Purchaser. If Purchaser does notify Seller by the Due Diligence Deadline that it is not satisfied with the Project, this Agreement shall terminate, except for those provisions which by their terms survive such termination; and, except as set forth in Section 2(A) above, the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser.
(C) As a condition to each party's obligation to perform hereunder, the due performance by the other of all undertakings and agreements to be performed by the other hereunder and the truth in all material respects of each representation and warranty as set forth herein made pursuant to this Agreement by the other at the Closing Date except for such changes as are expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, if either party cannot remake any of its representations and warranties in all material respects as of Closing through no fault of its own, the other party's sole remedies shall either be to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money (except for the Initial Non-Refundable Amount if any representation or warranty cannot be remade through no fault of Seller) or waive the condition that such representation or warranty be remade as of Closing.
11 |
(D) As a condition to Purchaser's obligation to perform hereunder (and not as a default), that there shall not have occurred between the date hereof and the Closing Date, inclusive, destruction of or damage or loss to the Project (whether or not covered by insurance proceeds) from any cause whatsoever the cost of which to repair exceeds $750,000 or entitles any tenant to terminate its Tenant Lease. Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of such damage, and Purchaser shall have five (5) business days after receipt of such notice in which to elect to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement within such period or if the cost of repairing the damage to the Project is less than $750,000 (and no tenant has the right to terminate its Tenant Lease), the parties shall proceed with the Closing in which case Seller shall assign to Purchaser any claims for proceeds from the insurance policies covering such destruction or damage (and give Purchaser a credit for the amount of any deductible thereof or any uninsured portion of the casualty up to an amount equal to $750,000, there shall be no other adjustment in the Purchase Price and Seller shall have no obligation to repair such damage. In the event the Agreement is not terminated, Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims without the prior written consent of Purchaser.
(E) As a condition to Purchaser's obligation to perform hereunder (and not as a default), that there shall not have occurred at any time or times on or before the Closing Date any taking or threatened taking of the Project or any material part thereof by condemnation (or any condemnation that allows any tenant to terminate its Tenant Lease), eminent domain or similar proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may elect to waive such condition in which case Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any proceeds resulting from any such proceeding. In the event the Agreement is not terminated, Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims without the prior written consent of Purchaser.
(F) Purchaser acknowledges that it has received a tenant estoppel certificate from Pactra in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 and that such tenant estoppel certificate satisfies any requirement with respect thereto in connection with the Pactra Tenant Lease. As a condition to Purchaser's obligations to perform hereunder (and not as a default), however, Seller shall have delivered to Purchaser a written acknowledgment (the "DHL Tenant Estoppel Certificate") from Exel, Inc., d/b/a DHL Supply Chain (USA), dated as of a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to Closing, without material deviation from either the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2 or the form required under its Tenant Lease or in such other forms reasonably approved by Purchaser. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the DHL Tenant Estoppel Certificate; provided, however, if Seller is unable to obtain the DHL Tenant Estoppel Certificate required herein, Purchaser shall have the option as its sole and exclusive remedies of (i) terminating this Agreement and, except as set forth in Section 2(A) above with respect to the Initial Non-Refundable Amount, obtaining a refund of the Earnest Money or (ii) proceeding with the Closing and waiving the requirement that it receive the DHL Tenant Estoppel Certificate.
(G) As a condition to Purchaser's obligations to perform hereunder (and not as a default), no tenant shall have terminated, or given notice of intent to terminate, its Tenant Lease pursuant to the terms of such Tenant Lease or otherwise. No tenant shall have abandoned its premises or filed for voluntary bankruptcy or be subject to an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding.
(H) Seller shall use reasonable good faith efforts to transfer to Purchaser the roof warranty for the Project (the “Roof Warranty”) from GAF, including submitting the application for the transfer of the Roof Warranty with GAF, paying the $500 transfer fee and arranging for the roof inspection by GAF required to transfer the Roof Warranty to Purchaser. If Seller obtains an inspection report from GAF which confirms that the Roof Warranty may be transferred to Purchaser, Seller and Purchaser shall proceed with the Closing subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and Seller’s obligations with respect to the Roof Warranty shall be deemed satisfied except that Seller shall file the
12 |
assignment of the Roof Warranty to Purchaser with GAF immediately following the Closing. The Closing Date shall be deemed automatically extended to the date that is two (2) business days after the satisfaction of this condition; provided, however, if such inspection report is not obtained by June 27, 2018, Purchaser shall, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either (1) terminate this Agreement (other than those provisions of the Agreement which by their terms survive termination of this Agreement), in which case, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser, or (2) elect to proceed to Closing without the inspection report (and roof warranty transfer requirement). If Purchaser fails to notify Seller by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on June 27, 2018, that it has elected to waive the foregoing condition pursuant to clause (2) in the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (1) in the immediately preceding sentence.

(d) an assignment of the Tenant Leases, in the form of Exhibit I hereto (the "Assignment of Tenant Leases"), executed by Seller;
13 |

(h) the original of all Tenant Leases, Contracts, licenses and permits, plans and specifications, operating manuals and guaranties and warranties with respect to the Project to the extent they are in the possession of Seller or its agents, provided, however, Seller shall have access to such items after Closing to the extent reasonably necessary for Seller to resolve any legal matters with respect to the Project relating to the period prior to the Closing;
(i) all keys and combinations to locks located at the Project;
(j) a termination of the existing management agreement for the Project;
(k) such evidence as Purchaser or the Title Company may reasonably require as to the due authorization, execution and delivery by Seller of this Agreement and the documents required to be executed by Seller hereunder;
(l) a certificate executed by Seller reaffirming that Seller's representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing except as may be set forth in such certificate, provided such certificate shall be subject to the qualifications and limitations on Seller's liabilities set forth in this Agreement; and
(m) any transfer tax declarations required to be signed by Seller under applicable law in connection with the Deed.
(2) At the Closing (or, except in the case of clause (f) below, at such later date as set forth below), Seller shall have received each of the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller (it being agreed by Seller that the documents attached hereto as exhibits are satisfactory in form to Seller), all of which shall have been deposited by Purchaser in escrow with the Title Company at least one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date (or such later time as is designated below):
(a) payment of the Purchase Price, plus or minus prorations;
(b) copies of the Assignment of Contracts and the Assignment of Tenant Leases, executed by Purchaser;
(c) such evidence as Seller or the Title Company may reasonably require as to the due authorization, execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and the documents required to be executed by Purchaser hereunder;
(d) a certificate executed by Purchaser reaffirming that Purchaser's representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing except as may be set forth in such certificate, provided such certificate shall be subject to the qualifications and limitations on Purchaser's liabilities set forth in this Agreement; and
14 |
(e) any transfer tax declarations required to be signed by Purchaser under applicable law in connection with the Deed;
(f) within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller that Purchaser has (i) replaced the "Landscape Bond" (also referred to herein as "LMA Bond") in the amount of $356,270.00, which was provided by Seller pursuant to the terms of the that Landscape Maintenance Agreement and (ii) replaced the "DIA Bond" in the amount of $150,000, which was provided by Seller pursuant to that certain City of Tracy Deferred Improvement Agreement NEI Phase 2 – Ridgeline Industrial Building on Pescadero Avenue, between Seller and the City of Tracy, which was recorded with the San Joaquin County Recorder as Document 2018 039087 ("DIA"). (The replacement bonds to be provided by Purchaser pursuant to this clause (f) are referred to collectively as the “Replacement Bonds.”) If Purchaser has not replaced the Landscape Bond and DIA Bond at Closing with the Replacement Bonds, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless, for any and all losses, liabilities and expenses incurred as a result of claims made against either the Landscape Bond or the DIA Bond during the period from Closing until such time as Purchaser has replaced the Landscape Bond and DIA Bond with the Replacement Bonds.
D. Prorations.
The Purchase Price for the Project shall be subject to prorations and credits as follows to be determined as of 12:01 A.M. on the Closing Date, the Closing Date being a day of income and expense to Purchaser, with all prorations being based on the actual number of days in the year; provided, however, if Seller's bank does not receive the Purchase Price by 1:00 p.m. its time on the Closing Date, the prorations shall be determined as of 12:01 a.m. on the first business day following the Closing Date:
1. Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for all rents, including estimated payments for operating expenses and real estate taxes, collected by Seller prior to the Closing and allocable to the period after Closing but not for any rent which has not been collected by Seller. No credit shall be given the Seller for accrued and unpaid rent or any other non-current sums due from tenants until said sums are paid, and Seller shall retain the right to collect any such rent provided Seller does not sue to evict any tenants or terminate any Tenant Leases. Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts after Closing to collect any rent under the Tenant Leases which has accrued as of the Closing; provided, however, Purchaser shall not be obligated to sue any tenants or exercise any legal remedies under the Tenant Leases or otherwise pursue such amounts other than the ordinary course of business. Any portion of any rents collected subsequent to the Closing Date and properly allocable to periods prior to the Closing Date shall be paid, promptly after receipt, to the Seller, but subject to all of the provisions of this Section; and any portion thereof properly allocable to periods on or subsequent to the Closing Date shall be paid to Purchaser. All payments collected from tenants after Closing by either Seller or Purchaser shall be applied to the rent designated by the tenant making such payment. If such tenant does not designate the rent to which such payment shall be applied, such payments shall first be applied to the month in which the Closing occurs, then to any rent due to Purchaser for the period after Closing and finally to any rent due to Seller for the period prior to Closing; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller collects any payments from tenants after Closing through its own collection efforts, Seller may first apply such payments to rent due Seller for the period prior to the Closing. Any cash security deposits held by Seller at Closing shall be credited to Purchaser on the Closing Date, and any non-cash security deposits held by Seller at Closing, including letters of credit, shall be transferred to Purchaser at Closing. In furtherance of the foregoing, upon the Closing Date, Seller shall have obtained, prepared and executed a bank transfer application to transfer any letters of credit issued pursuant to a Tenant Lease to Purchaser, which application shall be delivered by Seller to the bank within one (1) business date following the Closing Date. Thereafter, the parties shall work together in good faith to cause the bank to issue the transferred letter of credit to Purchaser
15 |
as soon as feasible. During the term of this Agreement, Seller shall not apply any security deposits without the prior written consent of Purchaser.
2. The adjustment rent or escalation payments payable under the Tenant Leases for taxes and operating expenses shall be reprorated after their final determination based on Seller's and Purchaser's respective share of such taxes and operating expenses. Within sixty (60) days following the Closing, Seller shall deliver Purchaser all back-up invoices for costs incurred by Seller as operating expenses in calendar year 2018, so as to allow Purchaser to perform a year end reconciliation as required under the Tenant Leases. As soon as reasonably possible after the end of the year in which the Closing occurs, Purchaser shall make a final calculation of the real estate taxes and operating expenses for the Project for such year as well as the adjustment rent or escalation payments payable under the Tenant Leases in connection therewith. Purchaser shall also calculate Purchaser’s and Seller’s share thereof as set forth in the preceding sentence which calculation shall be submitted to Seller for its reasonable approval but only as to the portion affecting Seller. Seller shall provide its approval or disapproval of such calculation within ten (10) days after receiving the calculation; and, if Seller does not notify Purchaser of its approval or disapproval within such ten (10) day period, Seller shall be deemed to have approved such calculation. If Seller has collected more in estimated payments from the tenants for operating expenses and taxes than it is entitled to retain after the final reconciliations are completed, Seller shall pay such excess to Purchaser for refund to the tenants; and, if Seller has collected less in estimated payments than it is entitled to receive after the final reconciliations are completed, Purchaser shall bill the tenants for such amount and shall remit such amounts to Seller upon receipt. Such obligations shall survive the Closing Date.
3. Except to the extent they are directly paid by the tenants, real estate and personal property taxes due and payable with respect to the Project in the year in which the Closing occurs (regardless of when such taxes are assessed or accrue), together with any costs incurred by Seller in protesting such taxes or the assessments on the Project, shall be prorated based on the portion of the applicable tax year which has elapsed prior to the Closing Date. If the amount of any such taxes has not been determined as of Closing, such credit shall be based on the most recent ascertainable taxes and shall be reprorated upon issuance of the final tax bill. If the taxes can be paid on a discounted basis, the proration shall be done on the basis of the discounted amount payable at the earlier of the Closing Date or the date on which such taxes were paid. Seller shall also give Purchaser a credit for any special assessments against the Project which are due and payable prior to Closing, and Purchaser shall be responsible for all special assessments due and payable on or after the Closing.
4. If, after the Closing, Purchaser or Seller receives (in the form of a refund, credit, or otherwise) any amounts as a result of a real property tax contest, appeal, or protest (a "Protest"), such amounts will be applied as follows: first, to reimburse Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, for all costs incurred in connection with the Protest; second, to Purchaser for payment of refunds payable to past, present, or future tenants of the Project, in accordance with the terms of any Tenant Leases; and third, to Seller to the extent that such Protest covers the period prior to the Closing Date and to Purchaser to the extent that such Protest covers the period from and after the Closing Date. Seller will not initiate any new Protest without the prior reasonable approval of Purchaser, and Seller will not unreasonably refuse to initiate a Protest prior to the Closing Date if Purchaser so requests in writing.
5. Utilities and fuel payable by the owner of the Project, including, without limitation, steam, water, electricity, gas and oil, which are not directly paid by tenants, shall be prorated as of the Closing. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to cause the meters, if any, for utilities to be read the day on which the Closing Date occurs and to pay the bills rendered on the basis of such readings. If any such meter reading for any utility is not available, then adjustment therefor shall be made on the basis of the most recently issued bills therefor which are based on meter readings no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date; and such adjustment shall be reprorated when the next utility bills are received. Purchaser shall
16 |
give Seller a credit at Closing for all deposits with utility companies serving the Project in which case Seller shall assign its rights to such deposits to Purchaser at the Closing; or, at Seller's option, Seller shall be entitled to receive a refund of such deposits from the utility companies, and Purchaser shall post its own deposits.
6. Charges payable by the owner of the Project under the Contracts assigned to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be prorated on an accrual basis.
At least three (3) days prior to Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a draft closing statement setting forth the prorations required hereunder. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller shall agree on a revised closing statement to the extent additional information is received after Closing with respect to the prorations described above; and within sixty (60) days after the end of the year in which the Closing has occurred, Purchaser and Seller shall agree on final prorations provided, however, Seller shall in any event be entitled to recover its share of any tax refunds or percentage rents as set forth herein paid after such final prorations. The party owing money to the other party based on any revisions to the prorations shall make such payment within ten (10) business days after agreement on such revisions, except as may be otherwise provided herein with respect to Operating Expenses.
E. Closing Costs.
Purchaser shall pay (1) the cost of the portion of ALTA extended coverage in the Title Policy (defined below) and any endorsements to the Title Policy, (2) the cost of the Survey requested by Purchaser, (3) one-half of any escrow or closing charge by the Title Company, (4) any recording fees payable in connection with the recording of the deed hereunder, and (5) its own due diligence and legal expenses. Seller shall pay (1) any transfer taxes payable in connection with the recording of the deed hereunder, (2) the premium for the CLTA coverage in the Title Policy, (3) one-half of any escrow or closing charge by the Title Company, and (4) its own legal expenses.
F. | Leasing Expenses. |
Purchaser shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless against, any brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other leasing costs in connection with any Tenant Leases executed after the date of this Agreement, lease amendments executed after the date hereof or in connection with options exercised after the date of this Agreement, including any such costs payable pursuant to the C&W Commission Agreement. In addition, Purchaser shall give Seller a credit at Closing for any such expenses or costs which are paid by Seller prior to Closing in connection with any Tenant Leases or amendments thereto executed, or options under Tenant Leases exercised, after the date of this Agreement. On or before Closing, Seller will either pay or give Purchaser a credit for the unpaid portion of the Unfunded Allowance or any unpaid commissions for any Tenant Leases and tenant lease amendments executed prior to the date of this Agreement, except for any commissions due and payable under the C&W Commission Agreement in connection with any options exercised after the date hereof under the Tenant Lease with Pactra USA, Inc.; and Purchaser shall be responsible for paying such portion after Closing.
SECTION 9. WAIVER; SEVERABILITY.
Each party hereto may, at any time or times, at its election, waive any of the conditions to its obligations hereunder by a written waiver expressly detailing the extent of such waiver (and no other waiver or alleged waiver by such party shall be effective for any purpose). No such waiver shall reduce the rights or remedies of such party by reason of any breach by the other party or parties of any of its or their obligations hereunder. If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall to any extent be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of
17 |
the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby.
SECTION 10. BROKERS.
Each party represents and warrants to the other that it has not engaged or dealt with any brokers or finders in connection with the transactions set forth herein except for the Broker, and each party shall indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any claim, liability, loss or damage resulting from the indemnifying party's breach of the foregoing representation and warranty or from any party claiming a brokerage commission is due through such party's acts. Seller shall be obligated to pay any commissions or fees due the Broker.
SECTION 11. SURVIVAL; FURTHER INSTRUMENTS.
Except as expressly set forth herein, none of the terms and provisions herein shall survive the Closing, and neither party shall be entitled to bring any cause of action against the other party with respect thereto after Closing. Each party will, whenever and as often as it shall be requested so to do by the other, cause to be executed, acknowledged or delivered any and all such further instruments and documents as may be necessary or proper, in the reasonable opinion of the requesting party, in order to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement and as are consistent with this Agreement.
SECTION 12. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFITS.
This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Purchaser and Seller and their respective successors and assigns (subject to the limitation on assignment set forth below), and no other person or persons shall have any right or remedy or other legal interest of any kind under or by reason of this Agreement. Whether or not either party hereto elects to employ any or all of the rights, powers or remedies available to it hereunder, such party shall have no obligation or liability of any kind to any third party by reason of this Agreement or by reason of any of such party's actions or omissions pursuant hereto or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
SECTION 13. REMEDIES.
A. | Purchaser Defaults. |
If Purchaser defaults in its obligation to close escrow as provided in this Agreement, Seller's sole remedy shall be to recover the Earnest Money as liquidated damages; provided, however, the Earnest Money shall not be deemed liquidated damages or a limit as to Purchaser's indemnification obligations under the Access Agreement. The parties agree that Seller's damages in the event of a failure by Purchaser to Close Escrow will be difficult to determine and that the Earnest Money is a fair estimate of those damages. THE AMOUNT PAID TO AND RETAINED BY SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PURSUANT TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS SHALL BE SELLER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IF PURCHASER FAILS TO CLOSE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY. THE PARTIES HERETO EXPRESSLY AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER'S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE BY PURCHASER TO CLOSE ESCROW WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO ASCERTAIN AND THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE EARNEST MONEY PLUS ANY INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON REPRESENTS THE PARTIES' REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 12, SELLER AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION IS NOT
18 |
INTENDED AND SHOULD NOT BE DEEMED OR CONSTRUED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY PURCHASER'S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS IN THE ACCESS AGREEMENT.
SELLER'S INITIALS: /s/ W.C.T. PURCHASER'S INITIALS: /s/ J.R.W.
B. | Seller Defaults. |
If Seller shall default hereunder prior to Closing, Purchaser shall be entitled as its sole remedies to either (i) terminate this Agreement and obtain a refund of all of the Earnest Money (including the Non-Refundable Amount) and reimbursement of its actual out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with this Agreement in an amount not to exceed Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00); or (ii) to sue for specific performance of this Agreement; and Purchaser waives any other rights or remedies at law or equity. Seller shall have no liability after Closing for the breach of any representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement and any closing documents delivered pursuant hereto except to the extent the loss suffered by Purchaser as a result of such breaches exceeds $50,000 in the aggregate, and in no event shall Seller's liability after Closing for a breach of Seller's representations, warranties and covenants under this Agreement and any closing documents delivered pursuant hereto as a result of such breaches exceed two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price in the aggregate. The foregoing cap, however, shall in no event be applicable to Seller's obligations with respect to prorations, the payment of commissions or the obligations to complete the Outstanding TI Work. For six (6) months following the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain access to funds so as to have the ability to satisfy any post-closing obligations that it may have hereunder.
SECTION 14. NOTICES.
All notices and other communications which either party is required or desires to send to the other shall be in writing and shall be sent by (i) e-mail or facsimile provided a copy thereof is also sent by one of the following means, (ii) hand delivery, (iii) registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (iv) nationally-recognized overnight courier service.

Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall issue any press release with respect to Purchaser's acquisition of the Project or the terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent may be withheld in such party's sole discretion.

SECTION 20. LIKE-KIND EXCHANGE
Each party agrees to reasonably cooperate with the other party in effecting an exchange transaction by the other party which includes the Project pursuant to Section 1031 of the United States Internal Revenue Code, provided that any exchange initiated by either party shall be at such party's sole cost and expense and shall not delay the Closing; and neither party shall be obligated to accept title to any other property as a result of such exchange. Each party hereby agrees to take all reasonable steps on or before the Closing Date to facilitate such exchange if requested by the other party, provided that (a) no party making such accommodation shall be required to acquire any substitute property, (b) such exchange shall not affect the representations, warranties, liabilities, covenants and obligations of the parties to each other under the Agreement, (c) no party making such
21 |
accommodation shall incur any additional cost, expense or liability in connection with such exchange (other than expenses of reviewing and executing documents required in connection with such exchange), and (d) no dates in the Agreement will be extended as a result thereof unless by mutual written agreement of the parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, if Seller so elects to close the transfer of the Property as an exchange, then (i) Seller, at its sole option, may delegate its obligations to transfer some or all of the assets under the Agreement, and may assign its rights to receive all or a portion of the Purchase Price from Purchaser, to a deferred exchange qualified intermediary (a "QI") or to an exchange accommodation titleholder ("EAT"), as the case may be; (ii) such delegation and assignment shall in no way reduce, modify or otherwise affect the obligations of Seller pursuant to the Agreement; (iii) Seller shall remain fully liable for its obligations under the Agreement as if such delegation and assignment shall not have taken place; (iv) QI or EAT, as the case may be, shall have no liability to Purchaser; and (v) the closing of the transfer of the Project to Purchaser shall be undertaken by direct deed, assignment and other appropriate conveyance from Seller (or, if applicable, from other affiliates of Seller whom Seller will cause to execute such deeds, assignments and other appropriate instruments of conveyance) to Purchaser or to EAT, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, if Purchaser so elects to close the acquisition of the Project as an exchange, then (i) Purchaser, at its sole option, may delegate its obligations to acquire the Project under the Agreement, and may assign its rights to receive the Project from Seller, to a QI or to an EAT, as the case may be; (ii) such delegation and assignment shall in no way reduce, modify or otherwise affect the obligations of Purchaser pursuant to the Agreement; (iii) Purchaser shall remain fully liable for its obligations under the Agreement as if such delegation and assignment shall not have taken place; (iv) QI or EAT, as the case may be, shall have no liability to Seller; and (v) the closing of the acquisition of the Project by Purchaser or the EAT, as the case may be, shall be undertaken by direct deed from Seller (or, if applicable, from other affiliates of Seller whom Seller will cause to execute such deeds, assignments and other appropriate instruments of conveyance) to Purchaser (or to EAT, as the case may be).
SECTION 21. MISCELLANEOUS.
This Agreement (including all Exhibits hereto which are hereby incorporated by reference) contains the entire agreement between the parties respecting the matters herein set forth and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties hereto respecting such matters. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state where the Project is located. Purchaser may not assign its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller except Purchaser may assign all or any portion of this Agreement or its rights hereunder, or delegate all or any portion of its duties or obligations to an affiliate of Purchaser without Seller's written consent; any assignee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the assignor's obligations hereunder, and the assignor shall remain liable hereunder. Except in connection with a 1031 exchange, Seller shall not assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder, or delegate any of its obligations, without the prior written approval of Purchaser. For purposes of this Section 21, an affiliate of Purchaser shall include (a) any entity that is owned, controlled by or is under common control with Purchaser (a "Purchaser Control Entity"), and (b) any entity in which one or more Purchaser Controlled Entities directly or indirectly is the general partner (or similar managing partner, member or manager) or owns more than 50% of the economic interests of such entity, or (c) any entity (or subsidiary thereof) that is advised by an affiliate of BCI IV Advisors LLC. Purchaser shall notify Seller at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing of any assignment of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each provision hereof. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, changed or modified orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom any amendment, change or modification is sought. Purchaser shall not record this Agreement, any memorandum of this Agreement, any assignment of this Agreement or any other document which would cause a cloud on the title to the Project. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile or other electronic signature, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument. The section headings appearing in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not intended, to any extent and for any purpose, to limit or define the text of any section
22 |
or any subsection hereof. The parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and 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.
SECTION 22. ADDITIONAL REIT PROVISIONS.
A. Post-Closing Access to Records. Upon receipt by Seller of Purchaser's reasonable written request at anytime and from time to time within a period from the Closing until the later of (i) 2 years after Closing, or (ii) for the period any tenant has the right under its lease for the Project to audit such books and records of Seller, Seller shall, at Seller's principal place of business, during Seller's normal business hours, make all of Seller's records relating to the Project, other than those previously delivered to Purchaser and other than any privileged or confidential books and records, available to Purchaser for inspection and copying (at Purchaser's sole cost and expense).
B. Information and Audit Cooperation. To the extent necessary to enable Purchaser to comply with any financial reporting requirements applicable to Purchaser and upon at least five (5) business days prior written notice to Seller, within 90 days after the Closing Date, Seller shall reasonably cooperate (at no cost or liability to Seller) and allow Purchaser's auditors to audit the trial balance related to the operation of the Project for the calendar year prior to the Closing Date and for the portion of the calendar year starting on January 1 through the Closing Date. Other than any representation, warranty or covenant otherwise set forth in this Agreement or the documents delivered at Closing, Seller makes no representations, warranties or covenants with respect to the trial balance or the books and records which may be reviewed in auditing the same, and Purchaser releases and waives any liability or claims against Seller related to the trial balance or the books and records which may be reviewed and audited.
