Section 2.5    Prorations and Adjustment. The following items shall comprise prorations and adjustments to be determined as of 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) of the date immediately preceding the Closing Date (such time and date referred to as the “Adjustment Time”), and shall increase or decrease the cash portion of the Purchase Price payable at Closing pursuant to Section 2.1, as the case may be:
(a)    Collected Rent. All rent (including, without limitation, all base rents, additional rents and retroactive rents) and all other income (and any applicable state or local tax on rent) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Rents”) collected under Leases in effect on the Closing Date shall be prorated based on the actual number of days in the month in which the Closing occurs (or other period for which such Rent may be paid). Uncollected Rent shall not be prorated. Buyers shall apply Rent from tenants that are collected on or after the Closing Date first to Rents then currently owing to Buyers, second to Rents attributable to the month in which Closing occurs, and third attributable to the period prior to the Adjustment Time. If applicable, for a period of six (6) months after the Closing Date, Buyers will make reasonable efforts to request and invoice any past due Rent, without suit or expending any funds or taking any action against such tenant, to collect any Rents applicable to the period before the Closing Date and will transfer the same to Sellers, net of any recovery costs incurred by Buyers, subject to the adjustments with respect to any past due Rent as set forth herein. In the event Sellers receive any Rent payments after the Closing Date and such payments are properly due to the Buyers, then Sellers shall promptly remit all such payments to Buyers within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the same. Buyers’ and Sellers’ obligations under the preceding sentences shall not be subject to any survival period limitations or other liability limitations set forth herein. For a period of up to six (6) months after the Closing Date, Sellers may pursue collection of any Rents that were past due as of the Closing Date, provided that, with respect

15
   
   
 



to any tenant currently in occupancy at any Property, Sellers shall have no right to terminate any Lease, institute a suit for collection, distrain for Rents, or otherwise disturb any tenant’s occupancy under any Lease in connection therewith. Buyer shall receive a credit for all leasing commissions or tenant improvements or allowances to become due under, or arising out of, the Leases including with respect to any renewal or option terms, which would be payable in and applicable to the period from and after Closing, and Seller shall be responsible for the same. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer shall receive credits at Closing in the amounts of (i) THREE HUNDRED TWENTY ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY FOUR AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($321,454.00) relating to the tenant extension allowance due on or about June 2018 for the benefit of Pharmaceutical Product Development, Inc. (“PPD”) as a current tenant at the Real Property located at 5150 McCrimmon Parkway, Morrisville, North Carolina (“5150 McCrimmon Parkway”) and (ii) ONE HUNDRED FORTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($140,000.00) relating to the outstanding HVAC tenant allowance for the benefit of Peak 10, Inc. at 5150 McCrimmon Parkway. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aforementioned HVAC tenant allowance credit shall not be applied if the PPD Tenant Estoppel Certificate or Landlord Estoppel Certificate, as applicable, includes a statement that such HVAC tenant allowance has been fully paid and used by PPD.
(b)    Prepaid Items. Prepaid charges, payments and accrued charges made by any Seller under any contracts to which it is a party and which are assigned to Buyers pursuant to the Warranties, Service Contracts and Permits Assignments will be prorated as of the Adjustment Time and (i) Sellers will be credited with a proportion of such charges and payments equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of days that have elapsed from the beginning of the calendar month during which the Closing occurs through, but excluding, the Closing Date and the denominator of which is equal to the number of days in the entire calendar month during which the Closing occurs and (ii) the Buyers will be credited with the remainder of such charges and payments.
(c)    Real Estate Taxes and Assessments. Real estate taxes and assessments imposed by any Governmental Authority with respect to any Real Property for the relevant tax year in which the Real Property is being sold and that are not yet due and payable or that have not yet been paid shall be prorated as of the Adjustment Time based upon the most recent ascertainable assessed values and tax rates during such relevant tax year. Following Closing, upon Buyers’ receipt of the actual tax bill for the year in which Closing occurs for any Property, if any adjustment is required with respect to the tax proration made as of the Adjustment Time, within thirty (30) days following receipt of such bill, the Sellers and Buyers shall each, as the case may be, pay to the other any amount required as a result of such adjustment. Sellers shall receive a credit for any Taxes paid by Sellers applicable to any period after the Adjustment Time. If, as of the Effective Date, Sellers are protesting or have notified Buyers in writing that they have elected or may elect to protest any Taxes for a Real Property, then Buyers agree that Sellers shall have the right (but not the obligation), after the Closing Date, to continue such protest. In such case, any Taxes paid by Buyers after the Closing Date with respect to such Real Property shall be paid under protest and Buyers shall promptly notify Sellers of the payment of any such Taxes. Buyers further agree to cooperate with Sellers, at no cost

16
   
   
 



to Buyers and Buyers shall have no obligation to bring or participate in any suit or other action, and execute any documents reasonably requested by Sellers in connection with such protest. As to any Real Property, any tax savings received (“Tax Refunds”), net of expenses, for the relevant tax year under any protest, shall be prorated between the parties as of the Adjustment Time. Sellers and Buyers agree to notify the other in writing of any receipt of a Tax Refund within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Tax Refund. To the extent either party obtains a Tax Refund, a portion of which is owed to the other party, the receiving party shall deliver the Tax Refund to the other party within thirty (30) days of its receipt. If Buyers or Sellers fail to pay such amount(s) to the other as and when due, such amount(s) shall bear interest from the date any such amount is due to Sellers or Buyers, as applicable, until paid at the lesser of (a) twelve percent (12%) per annum and (b) the maximum amount permitted by Law. The obligations set forth herein shall survive the Closing Date;
(d)    Tenant Deposits. All tenant security deposits actually received by the Sellers (and interest thereon if required by Law or contract to be earned thereon) and not theretofore applied to tenant obligations under the Leases shall be transferred or credited to Buyers at Closing or placed in escrow if required by Law. As of the Closing, Buyers shall assume all of Sellers’ obligations related to tenant security deposits to the extent credited or turned over in escrow. Buyers will indemnify, defend, and hold Sellers harmless from and against all demands and claims made by tenants arising out of the transfer or disposition of any security deposits to the extent credited or turned over in escrow and will reimburse Sellers for all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or that may be incurred as a result of any such claims or demands as well as for all loss, expenses, verdicts, judgments, settlements, interest, costs and other expenses incurred or that may be incurred by Sellers as a result of any such claims or demands by tenants;
(e)    Letters of Credit. Sellers shall cooperate with Buyers to have any letters of credit in respect of any Leases assigned to Buyers and to the extent not so assigned as of Closing, hold any letters of credit and draw on them at Buyers’ request (and promptly provide the funds so drawn to Buyer) until a new letter of credit may be issued (or the existing letter of credit is so assigned) to Buyers or their designee. This obligation of Sellers will survive Closing.
(f)    Utilities and Utility Deposits. Utilities for each Real Property (excluding utilities for which payment is made directly by tenants), including water, sewer, electric, and gas, based upon the last reading of meters prior to the Closing, shall be prorated as of the Adjustment Time. Each applicable Seller shall be entitled to a credit for all security deposits held by any of the utility companies providing service to any Real Property. Sellers shall endeavor to obtain meter readings on the day before the Closing Date, and if such readings are obtained, there shall be no proration of such items and each applicable Seller shall pay at Closing the bills therefor for the period to the Adjustment Time, and Buyers shall pay the bills therefor for the period subsequent thereto. If the utility company will not issue separate bills, Buyers will receive a credit against the Purchase Price for such Seller’s portion and will pay the entire bill prior to delinquency after Closing. If the Sellers

17
   
   
 



have paid utilities in advance in the ordinary course of business, then Buyers shall be charged its portion of such payment at Closing. Buyers shall be responsible for making any security deposits required by utility companies providing service to any Real Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Seller pays the utility bills and, directly or through a billing service, bills the tenants for such utilities, then to the extent not reimbursed by tenants prior to Closing, post-Closing in connection with the final reconciliation provided for hereunder, based upon the receipt of final utility bills, such Seller shall receive a credit based upon the actual amount collected from tenants for the amount of utility charges incurred by such Seller (and paid to the utility companies) and reimbursable to such Seller from tenants for periods prior to Closing (“RUBS”). In the event any Buyer is unable to establish new utility arrangements with any utility provider then the applicable Seller shall maintain the applicable existing utility arrangement for up to ninety (90) days post-Closing. All utility costs any Seller incurs as a result of any utility extension shall be Buyer’s obligation and shall be appropriately adjusted for in connection with the final adjustment hereunder;
(g)    Owner Deposits. Each applicable Seller shall receive a credit for all bonds, deposits, letters of credit, set aside letters or other similar items, if any, that are outstanding with respect to the Real Property that have been provided by such Seller or any of its Affiliates to any governmental agency, public utility, or similar entity (collectively, “Owner Deposits”) if such Owner Deposits are validly transferred to the Buyers. To the extent that any funds are released as a result of the termination of any Owner Deposits for which such Seller did not get a credit and Buyers receive same, such funds shall be delivered to such Seller promptly upon their receipt;
(h)    Final Adjustment After Closing. If final prorations cannot be made at the Closing for any item being prorated under this Section 2.5, then Buyers and Sellers agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as invoices or bills are available and applicable reconciliation with tenants have been completed, with final adjustment to be made as soon as reasonably possible after the Closing (but in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing, except that adjustments arising from any tax protest under Section 2.5(c) shall not be subject to such 120-day limitation, but shall be made as soon as reasonably possible, and further except that reprorations of taxes and other expenses and charges subject to a yearend reconciliation shall be made within thirty (30) days following receipt of the actual bill for the year in which Closing occurs for each Property), to the effect that income and expenses are received and paid by the parties on an accrual basis with respect to their period of ownership. Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due no later than thirty (30) days after the 120-day period referenced above, except that adjustments arising from any tax protest under Section 2.5(c) hereof or as otherwise set forth in the preceding sentence shall not be subject to such 120 day limitation, but shall be made as soon as reasonably possible. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Sellers and provide Sellers with supporting documentation to confirm the final prorations for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing other than with respect to taxes and other expenses requiring yearend reconciliation which obligation shall survive for one (1) year after the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in

18
   
   
 



this Section 2.5, except for adjustments arising from any tax protest under Section 2.5(c), and except for any post-Closing prorations determined and paid within one hundred twenty (120) days or one (1) year after the Closing as set forth above, all prorations made under this Section 2.5 shall be final as of the Closing and shall not be subject to further adjustment after the Closing.
(i)    For the avoidance of doubt, all cash and cash equivalents and all accounts receivable of Sellers to the extent applicable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be retained by the Sellers and remain the property of Sellers.
(j)    All obligations to make any payments required under this Section 2.5 that accrue prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period shall survive such survival period until so paid in full.
(k)    Audit of Final Adjustments. If Buyers and Sellers do not agree on the computation of the prorations and adjustments to create the final adjustments, then each party shall prepare its own calculation of the final adjustments and such calculations will be promptly submitted to a firm of independent accountants of nationally recognized standing, reasonably satisfactory to Buyers and Sellers (who shall have no material relationship with Sellers or Buyers) to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating the final adjustments. The firm of independent accountants will deliver to Buyers and Sellers, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth its calculation of the final adjustments. That report will be final and binding upon Buyers and Sellers. The cost of the independent accountants’ review and report will be borne by the party whose calculation of the final adjustments is at the greatest variance with the independent accountants’ calculation of the final adjustments. If the report reflects a net adjustment in favor of Sellers, Buyers will pay to Sellers the amount of that adjustment in cash to Sellers no later than ten (10) Business Days after the determination of the adjustment. If the report reflects a net adjustment in favor of Buyers, Sellers will pay to Buyers the amount of that adjustment in cash to Buyers no later than ten (10) Business Days after the determination of the final adjustments. If Buyers and Sellers cannot agree on a firm of independent accountants for purposes of calculating the final adjustments, Buyers shall choose a firm of independent accountants and Sellers shall choose a firm of independent accountants, and the firms chosen by Buyers and Sellers shall jointly choose a third firm of independent accountants to act as the independent accounts for purposes of this provision.
Section 2.6    Assumed Contracts. Schedule 2.6 sets for the Service Contacts for which Buyers will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date (the “Assumed Contracts”). Any payments or penalties incurred in connection with the termination of any Service Contract, other than the Assumed Contracts, shall be borne by Sellers. Prior to or at Closing, Sellers shall provide Buyers with written evidence that Sellers have sent notices of termination with respect to all Service Contracts, except for Assumed Contracts, affecting each Property. All labor, service, supply, insurance, brokerage, leasing and maintenance contracts relating to the Improvements or the Real Property which are not Assumed Contracts shall be terminated as of Closing, and Sellers shall be responsible for all costs and expenses thereunder, and Sellers shall indemnify and hold

19
   
   
 



harmless Buyers and their Affiliates from and against any and all claims and Losses of whatever kind, type or nature made by any counterparty to such contracts. Seller’s obligations under this Section 2.6 shall survive the Closing.

DEFAULT; FAILURE OF CONDITION; TERMINATION
Section 9.1    Buyer’s Default. If as of the Closing Date, Buyers are in material default (which is not fully cured after specific written demand for cure by Sellers within the later of (a) the Closing Date and (b) seven (7) Business Days of such demand) in any of its representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement, then, Sellers may elect to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Buyers, in which case Buyers shall immediately forfeit the Deposit, and the Deposit Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Sellers as Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy, and the parties hereto shall have no further obligations under this Agreement (except for such obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, provided that if as a result of any error or negligence by Buyers’ transmitting bank or Deposit Escrow Agent’s receiving bank, any default shall arise, Buyers’ time to comply shall be automatically extended to enable the applicable bank to cure same.
THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 9.1, THE DAMAGES THAT SELLERS WOULD SUSTAIN AS A RESULT OF SUCH TERMINATION WOULD BE DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO ASCERTAIN AND THAT THE DEPOSIT CONSTITUTES A REASONABLE GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT SELLERS SHALL RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS FULL AND COMPLETE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND NOT AS A PENALTY AND AS SELLERS’ SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE

47
   
   
 



REMEDY FOR SUCH TERMINATION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SELLERS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THOSE OBLIGATIONS WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE SUCH TERMINATION.
Section 9.2    Seller Default. If Sellers, prior to the Closing, default in their representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement, and such default continues for more than ten (10) days after written notice from Buyers (other than a failure to close on the scheduled Closing Date for which there shall be no cure period), then Buyers, at Buyer’s election and as its sole and exclusive remedies, may elect to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case Sellers shall reimburse Buyers for their actual, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, not to exceed TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($2,500,000.00), the Deposit Escrow Agent shall refund the Deposit to Buyers, and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement (except for such obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement), or (ii) seek specific performance of Sellers’ obligation to consummate the transactions for Closing pursuant to this Agreement (provided, however, at any time after seeking specific performance, Buyer may elect option (i) above).

ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT BUYERS SHALL RETAIN SUCH LIQUIDATED SUM AS FULL AND COMPLETE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND NOT AS A PENALTY AND AS BUYERS’ SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR SELLERS’ ACTS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT BUYERS’ SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITH

48
   
   
 



RESPECT TO THOSE OBLIGATIONS WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that any default under this Agreement by any one Seller shall constitute a default by all Sellers hereunder.

Section 9.5    Casualty and Condemnation.
(a)    Material Reconstruction Event. If, at any time prior to Closing there is damage, destruction or a taking with respect to a Real Property (provided that any such damage or destruction is not caused by Sellers or their Representatives) (such property, the “Damaged Property”) such that such damage or condemnation results in the absence of reasonable access to the Damaged Property or affects the use of the Damaged Property as it was used prior to any such casualty or taking, and would cost, in Seller’s reasonable estimate, more than 5% of the Allocated Purchase Price of the Damaged Property to rebuilt, or to Sellers’ Knowledge, the Damaged Property is in material violation of applicable zoning or building laws (a “Material Reconstruction Event”), the applicable Seller shall give Buyers written notice pursuant to this Agreement of such loss or damage.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.5(a) to the contrary, in the event of any damage to any Property by fire or other casualty, if (i) the applicable Seller’s insurance company refuses to recognize Buyers as the assignees of the insurance proceeds and such Seller has not agreed to pay or credit to Buyers the amount which Buyers would have otherwise received from such Seller’s insurance company, (ii) the applicable Seller fails to maintain insurance with respect to such damage and rent loss associated therewith, and such Seller has not agreed to pay or credit to Buyers the amount which Buyers would have otherwise received as insurance proceeds pursuant to this Article IX, or (iii) such damage results in loss of rents for which Buyers will not receive compensation for such loss after Closing or, at the election of the applicable Seller, a credit in the amount of such anticipated loss of rents, then Buyers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as provided above.
(b)    Immaterial Event. If prior to the Closing, a portion of any Real Property is condemned, damaged or destroyed and such portion does not constitute a Material Reconstruction Event, then (provided that any such damage or destruction is not caused by Sellers or their Representatives) the parties shall nonetheless consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (including with respect to such Damaged Property), without any abatement of the Purchase Price, and upon the occurrence of the Closing, Buyers shall be entitled to the benefit of any and all applicable insurance proceeds or condemnation awards payable in connection with such Damaged Property (and Buyers shall be credited the amount of any deductible payable under any insurance policy covering such damage).
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, the provisions of Sections 9.5(a) or (b) are applicable, Sellers, at their sole cost and expense, shall take such actions and otherwise cooperate with Buyers post-Closing to insure that Buyers get the full benefit of such provisions, even if the parties hereto are not able to accomplish the same directly, and the benefits of Sections 9.5(a) and (b) must be obtained indirectly.
