-3-


2.2    Deposit. No later than one (1) business day following the Effective Date, Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Holder the Deposit. The Deposit shall be deposited by Escrow Holder in an interest-bearing account at a federally insured institution as Escrow Holder and Seller deem appropriate and consistent with the timing requirements of this Agreement. The interest thereon shall accrue to the benefit of the party receiving the Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge that there may be penalties or interest forfeitures if the applicable instrument is redeemed prior to its specified maturity. The term “Deposit” hereunder shall include all interest so earned thereon. Buyer agrees to provide its Federal Tax Identification Number to Escrow Holder upon the Opening of Escrow. The Deposit shall be non-refundable except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Deposit together with interest accrued thereon shall be: (i) applied and credited toward payment of the Purchase Price at the Close of Escrow, or (ii) retained by Seller as permitted pursuant to Section 16.2, below, or (iii) returned to Buyer in all other instances if this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than as set forth in Section 16.2 below.

2.3    Cash Balance. No later than 10:00 a.m. Pacific time on the Closing Date, Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Holder cash by means of a confirmed wire transfer through the Federal Reserve System or cashier’s check in the amount of the balance of the Purchase Price, plus Buyer’s share of expenses and prorations as described in this Agreement.

2.4    Independent Consideration. Concurrently with Buyer’s delivery of the Deposit, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, by means of a wire transfer via Escrow, an amount equal to One Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($100.00) as independent consideration for Seller’s performance under this Agreement (“Independent Consideration”), which shall be retained by Seller in all instances. The Independent Consideration is independent of any other consideration provided hereunder, shall be deemed fully earned by Seller upon the Effective Date hereof, shall be promptly forwarded by Escrow Holder to Seller and is not refundable under any circumstances.

3.    Escrow and Title.

3.1    Opening of Escrow. Buyer and Seller shall promptly deliver a fully executed copy of this Agreement to Escrow Holder (which delivery may be in counterparts), and the date of Escrow Holder’s receipt thereof is referred to as the “Opening of Escrow”. Seller and Buyer shall execute and deliver to Escrow Holder any additional or supplementary instructions as may be necessary or convenient to implement the terms of this Agreement and close the transactions contemplated hereby, provided such instructions are consistent with and merely supplement this Agreement and shall not in any way modify, amend or supersede this Agreement. Such supplementary instructions, together with the escrow instructions set forth in this Agreement, as they may be amended from time to time by the parties, shall collectively be referred to as the “Escrow Instructions.” The Escrow Instructions may be amended and supplemented by such standard terms and provisions as the Escrow Holder may request the parties hereto to execute; provided, however, that the parties hereto and Escrow Holder acknowledge and agree that in the event of a conflict between any provision of such standard terms and provisions supplied by the Escrow Holder and the Escrow Instructions, the Escrow Instructions shall prevail.

3.2    Close of Escrow/Closing. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Close of Escrow” or the “Closing” shall mean the date on which the “Deed” (as defined in Section 5.1.1, below) is recorded in the Official Records of the County where the Land is located (the “Official Records”), or if the Closing occurs with Seller’s consent prior to date on which the Deed is recorded as a part of a “gap” closing, the date on which such gap Closing occurs. The Close of Escrow shall occur on the Closing Date, subject to

 

-4-


extension or accelerations of the Closing as provided in the other provisions of this Agreement. Buyer’s and Seller’s failure to perform their respective obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the timely delivery by Buyer of the balance of the Purchase Price, shall constitute a material and non-curable default under this Agreement.

3.3    Title Insurance. At the Close of Escrow, and as a condition thereto, the Title Company shall issue to Buyer ALTA extended coverage Owner’s Policies of Title Insurance (each a “Title Policy” and collectively, the “Title Policies”) substantially in the forms of the proforma title policies attached hereto as Exhibit L (collectively, the “Proforma Policies”), with liability in the amount of the allocated Purchase Price with respect to each Parcel, showing title to the Property, on a Parcel by Parcel basis, vested in Buyer, subject only to (i) the preprinted standard exceptions in such Title Policy, (ii) exceptions approved or deemed approved by Buyer pursuant to Section 4.2, (iii) the rights of tenants under the Leases as tenants only, without rights of first refusal or options to purchase, (iv) non-delinquent real property taxes and special assessments, (v) any exceptions arising from Buyer’s actions, local, state and federal laws, ordinances or governmental regulations, including, but not limited to, building and zoning laws, ordinances and regulations, now or hereafter in effect relating to the Property, and (vi) any matters which would be disclosed by an accurate survey or physical inspection of the Property (collectively, the “Permitted Exceptions”); provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any exception for mechanic’s liens be considered a Permitted Exception other than (A) mechanic’s liens arising from contracts entered into by a tenant responsible for the payment thereof in accordance with the terms of such tenant’s Lease, or (B) mechanic’s liens arising from ongoing work being performed by Seller for which Buyer is credited at Closing or for which Buyer is otherwise responsible to pay pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement so long as any such exception for mechanic’s liens is limited to the amount of the credit provided to Buyer at Closing or the amount for which Buyer is responsible for payment under the express terms of this Agreement. Buyer shall be responsible to have prepared and delivered to the Title Company one or more ALTA surveys (collectively, “ALTA Survey”) of the Property, at Buyer’s expense. Buyer shall pay the additional premium for extended coverage in excess of the standard portion of the Title Policy and the cost of any title policy endorsements requested by Buyer and any lender policy for Buyer’s lender (if any). The Close of Escrow shall not be extended due to Buyer’s Title Policy requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer fails to provide an ALTA Survey for the Property acceptable to the Title Company for purposes of issuing the Title Policy, then the Title Policy to be issued on the Close of Escrow shall be an ALTA extended coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance which shall include a general survey exception.

4.    Contingencies; Conditions Precedent to the Close of Escrow.

4.1    Buyer’s Review.

4.1.1    Delivery of Due Diligence Items; Communication with Tenants.

(a)    Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has made (and prior to Closing, Seller shall continue to make) available to Buyer and Buyer’s representatives vis-à-vis Seller’s online due diligence room relating to the Property (the “Data Site”), for Buyer’s inspection and copying at Buyer’s expense and/or at Seller’s offices for inspection and right to copy, at Buyer’s expense, the following: (i) copies of the most recent environmental studies, soils studies, and other similar reports relating to the environmental condition of the Property (“Reports”); (ii) copies of the most recent ALTA survey of the Real Property; (iii) copies of the Leases; (iv) copies of all construction contracts that Seller is a party to, service contracts or service agreements relating to the operation and maintenance of the Property currently in effect (but expressly excluding any contracts Seller determines are “master contracts” affecting properties other than the Property) (collectively, the “Contracts”, a list of which is attached hereto as Exhibit J); (v) property tax bills for the last two (2) fiscal tax years (or, if the Property has been owned by Seller for less

 

-5-


than two (2) years, for such period of Seller’s ownership), and the property tax bill for the current year to the extent in the possession of Seller; and (vi) operating statements for the Property for the last two (2) calendar years and the current year-to-date (the foregoing items in clauses (i) through (vi), collectively, “Due Diligence Items”); provided, however, each of the foregoing shall only be deemed to be a Due Diligence Item to the extent available on the Data Site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Seller be obligated to provide to Buyer any confidential or proprietary materials or information (including, without limitation, internal memoranda of Seller, budgets, financial analyses or projections, appraisal reports or other valuation information, organizational, financial and other documents relating to Seller or its affiliates, any reports or studies that have been superseded by subsequent reports or studies, any property condition assessments or reports, and any documents or information subject to attorney-client privilege or that constitute attorney work product); provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any third-party reports relating to the physical condition of the property (other than property condition assessments or reports) constitute confidential or proprietary materials or information. Except as expressly set forth herein, Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the sufficiency, truthfulness, completeness or accuracy of the Due Diligence Items or that the Due Diligence Items are complete copies of the same. Buyer acknowledges and understands that all such materials made available by Seller were only for Buyer’s convenience in making its own examination and determination prior to the Effective Date as to whether it wishes to purchase the Property, and, in so doing, Buyer has relied exclusively upon its own independent investigation, verification and evaluation of every aspect of the Property and not upon any of the Reports or materials supplied by Seller.

(b)    Prior to the Effective Date, Buyer had the opportunity to conduct customary tenant interviews with major tenants under the Leases.

4.1.2    Entry Rights. Subject to the rights of the tenants under the leases at the Property, Buyer shall have the right to review and investigate the physical and environmental condition of the Property, the character, quality, value and general utility of the Property, the zoning, land use, environmental and building requirements and restrictions applicable to the Property, the state of title to the Property, and any other factors or matters relevant to Buyer’s decision to purchase the Property. Buyer shall provide Seller with at least one (1) business day’s prior email notice or telephone notice with a confirmation email [***] of its desire to enter upon the Property for inspection and/or testing and any such inspections or testing shall be conducted at a time and manner reasonably approved by Seller and to minimize disruption or interference with the tenants. Seller shall have the right to be present at any such inspections or testings. Prior to conducting any inspections or testing, Buyer or its consultants shall deliver to Seller a certificate of insurance naming Seller as additional insured (on a primary, non-contributing basis) evidencing commercial general liability and property damage insurance, issued by a carrier which is licensed or authorized to do business in California, with limits of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) for liability coverage, and not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) for property damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be permitted to undertake any air or paint sampling or any intrusive or destructive testing of the Property, including, without limitation, a “Phase II” environmental assessment (collectively, the “Intrusive Tests”), without in each instance first obtaining Seller’s prior written consent thereto, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. If Seller fails to advise Buyer of its approval of any proposed Intrusive Tests within two (2) business days after request, such failure shall be deemed Seller’s disapproval thereof. Promptly following any and all testing and inspections conducted by or on behalf of Buyer, Buyer shall restore the Property to substantially its condition prior to such tests and inspections. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller and the “Seller Group” (defined in Section 10.1.2, below) harmless from any and all costs, loss, damages or expenses of any kind or nature arising out of or resulting from any entry and/or activities upon the Property by Buyer and/or Buyer’s agents, employees, contractors or consultants; provided, however, such indemnification obligation shall not be applicable (i) to the extent of Buyer’s mere discovery of any pre-existing adverse physical condition at the Property or (ii) with respect to any such liability arising

 

-6-


due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or the Seller Group. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall not be relieved of its obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller in the event that, and to the extent that, any pre-existing condition is aggravated by Buyer and/or Buyer’s representatives in connection with any inspection of the Property. Seller acknowledges Buyer may desire to discuss or otherwise inquire about matters related to the Property with various governmental entities, the tenants of the Property and utilities and other third parties (such third parties are, collectively, the “Third Parties”). Upon at least one (1) business day’s prior email notice or telephone notice with a confirmation [***], Buyer shall be permitted to contact any Third Parties to discuss such matters so long as Seller is given the opportunity to be present at any such discussions; provided, however, that Buyer shall have the right without notice to Seller to contact governmental entities to perform normal and customary inquiries regarding zoning and code compliance.

4.1.3    Contracts. The Contracts listed on Exhibit N are the Contracts which Buyer desires be terminated on or before the Closing, and which, by their express terms, may be terminated on or before the Closing (the “Disapproved Contracts”); provided, however, in no event shall Seller be required to terminate any Contracts which by their terms are not terminable prior to the Closing or require the payment of any termination, penalties or charges unless Buyer pays the same (“Non-Terminable Contracts”). Seller shall provide written notice of termination to those applicable third parties with respect to such Disapproved Contracts (that are not Non-Terminable Contracts) on or before the Closing and shall terminate the same as of Closing. Those Contracts not expressly disapproved by Buyer and the Non-Terminable Contracts (collectively, the “Approved Contracts”) shall be assigned by Seller to Buyer at the Closing to the extent allowable under such Approved Contracts pursuant to the “Assignment of Contracts” (as that term is defined in Section 5.1.4 below).

4.1.4    Approval. Buyer hereby approves of the Property, and acknowledges and agrees that any access to the Property or Due Diligence Items conducted by Buyer on or after the Effective Date shall not provide Buyer with the right to terminate this Agreement on account of any due diligence matter or to receive a refund of the Deposit.

4.1.5    Due Diligence Items. In the event Buyer does not purchase the Property for any reason, within five (5) days after the date this Agreement is terminated Buyer shall return to Seller all documents, information and other materials supplied by Seller to Buyer. In the event Buyer does not purchase the Property for any reason other than a Seller default, Buyer shall provide to Seller within five (5) days after the date this Agreement is terminated any inspection reports, studies, surveys, and other reports and/or test results relating to the Property which were developed by or on behalf of Buyer or prepared by consultants retained by Buyer in contemplation of this Agreement, at no charge to Seller, but without any representation or warranty of any kind, and with respect to such reports Seller shall be subject to any confidentiality restrictions set forth therein.

4.2    Title Review and Additional Title Matters.

4.2.1    Title Review. Seller shall remove on or before the Closing Date (a) liens secured by deeds of trust securing loans made to Seller, (b) mechanics’ liens relating to work pursuant to any agreements to which Seller is a party, (c) judgment liens against Seller, any matters recorded by Seller against the Property after the Effective Date other than matters required by law to the extent consented to by Buyer in its reasonable discretion, (e) any other monetary liens of an ascertainable amount that does not exceed [***] in the aggregate and are capable of being removed upon the payment of no more than [***] in the aggregate, and (f) delinquent taxes (“Monetary Liens”). Except for Monetary Liens, all matters shown in the Proforma Policies and ALTA Survey shall be deemed to be approved by Buyer. The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller shall have the right to apply or cause Escrow Holder to apply all or any portion of the Purchase Price to cause the release of any item included in a Title Notice or any Monetary Lien, as applicable.

 

-7-


4.2.2    Supplemental Title Review. If there are any changes to the Proforma Policies after the Effective Date and prior to Closing, Escrow Holder will deliver to Buyer and Seller a Supplemental Preliminary Title Report, together with copies of any new recorded exceptions listed therein (“Supplemental Report”). If a Supplemental Report discloses any material and adverse change(s) to the condition of title to the Property not caused by Buyer (each, a “Material Adverse Change”), then Buyer will have until five (5) business days after receipt of any Supplemental Report to deliver to Seller and Escrow Holder written notice (a “Title Notice”), approving or disapproving the Material Adverse Change(s) set forth in the Supplemental Report. The failure of Buyer to timely deliver a Title Notice with respect to a Supplemental Report will constitute its approval thereof. If Buyer delivers a Title Notice disapproving any Material Adverse Change(s) identified in that report, then within three (3) business days of its receipt of such Title Notice, Seller shall deliver written notice to Buyer and Escrow Holder identifying which Material Adverse Change(s), if any, Seller shall undertake to cure (and the term “cure” as used in this Section 4.2.2 shall include removal or insuring or endorsing over such Material Adverse Change) (“Seller’s Response”). If the cure for any particular Material Adverse Change is to insure or endorse over the same (as opposed to remove) (the “Subject Material Adverse Change”), then, in addition to such cure, upon and following the Closing, Seller and “Seller’s Guarantor,” as set forth in the “OPLP Guaranty,” as each of those terms are defined in Section 16.5, below, shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold Buyer harmless from any and all third-party costs, loss, damages or expenses to the extent resulting or arising from the Subject Material Adverse Change (“MAC Title Indemnity”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of an indemnity agreement executed and delivered at Closing, substantially in the form of the OPLP Guaranty modified to provide that the underlying obligation is the MAC Title Indemnity. The MAC Title Indemnity shall be freely assignable to any lender providing financing to Buyer or a successor owner of the particular Property subject to the MAC Title Indemnity (and its lender) until such time as the Subject Material Adverse Change is removed or otherwise released from the title records of such Property. The MAC Title Indemnity shall survive the Closing indefinitely, and shall not be subject to the “Floor Amount” or the “Cap Amount,” as those terms are defined in Section 16.5, below, the “Survival Period,” as that term is defined in Section 11.14, below, or any other post-Closing limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provision of the MAC Title Indemnity shall be at Seller’s sole election and Seller shall set forth in its Seller’s Response whether or not it will provide the MAC Title Indemnity at Closing. If Seller delivers a Seller’s Response within such three (3) business day period, then it shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property that Seller cures each such Material Adverse Change undertaken to be cured in Seller’s Response, as set forth therein (“Seller Cure Items”). Seller shall have until the Closing Date to make such arrangements or take such steps with respect to the Seller Cure Items as set forth in Seller’s Response; provided, however, that (i) Seller may extend the Closing for a period not to exceed five (5) business days as shall be required to effect such cure, and (ii) except with respect to any Monetary Liens (all of which Seller agrees to have removed on or before the Closing Date), Seller shall have no obligation whatsoever to expend or agree to expend any funds, to undertake or agree to undertake any obligations or otherwise to cure or agree to cure any Material Adverse Changes. If Seller does not timely deliver a Seller’s Response, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to not remove or otherwise cure any Material Adverse Changes disapproved by Buyer, other than Monetary Liens which Seller shall remain obligated to have removed as set forth above. If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to remove the disapproved Material Adverse Change(s), or Seller elects to insure or endorse over the disapproved Material Adverse Change(s) but does not elect to provide the MAC Title Indemnity, or Seller fails to timely cure the Seller Cure Items, then Buyer will have an additional three (3) business days after receipt of notice of Seller’s Response or Seller’s deadline to cure the Seller Cure Items to notify Seller whether it elects to (a) proceed with the purchase and acquire the Property subject to the disapproved Material Adverse Change(s) and without any reduction in the Purchase Price, in which case the disapproved Material Adverse Change(s) will be deemed approved (and will be Permitted Exceptions), or (b) terminate

 

-8-


this Agreement and Escrow. Buyer’s failure to give Seller such notice will be deemed to be an election by Buyer to proceed under clause (a) above. For avoidance of doubt, if Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to remove the disapproved Material Adverse Change(s) or Seller fails to timely cure the Seller Cure Items, the same shall not be a default on the part of Seller but rather Buyer shall have the rights set forth in the immediately preceding two sentences. The Closing Date shall be automatically extended to accommodate the time periods set forth in this Section 4.2.2.

4.3    Conditions Precedent to Buyer’s Obligations:

4.3.1    Title Policy. On or before the Closing, Title Company shall have committed to issue to Buyer the Title Policy described in Section 3.3.

4.3.2    Required Estoppel Certificates; SNDAs. Seller covenants and agrees that (i) Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to Buyer for review and approval (within such time period as reasonably required in order for tenant estoppel certificates to be dated within thirty (30) days of Closing to be delivered to Buyer prior to Closing), the estoppel certificates Seller intends to deliver to the tenants (“Prepared Estoppels”), which shall be based on the form of estoppel certificate attached hereto as Exhibit E or in the form required by a tenant’s lease, and (ii) Seller shall remit, or cause to be remitted, the Prepared Estoppels to all the tenants of the Property for signature (within such time period as reasonably required in order for tenant estoppel certificates dated within thirty (30) days of Closing to be delivered to Buyer prior to Closing) following Buyer’s notice to Seller that Buyer has approved the Prepared Estoppels (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and any such disapproval shall only be on the basis of a materially factually incorrect statement or material factual omission within the required estoppel form, which Seller may or may not incorporate in its reasonable judgment to conform with the requirements of this Section 4.3.2). Buyer’s failure to provide Seller with written notice of its reasonable disapproval, together with the specific changes that Buyer is requesting to be made to the Prepared Estoppels, of the Prepared Estoppels within three (3) business days after Buyer’s receipt of the same shall be deemed Buyer’s approval thereof. Upon the receipt of Buyer’s approval (or deemed approval) of the Prepared Estoppels, Seller shall deliver the same to the tenants. On or before the date which is three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date (the “Estoppel Delivery Date”), Seller shall have delivered to Buyer the Required Estoppel Certificates, in substantially the form of the Prepared Estoppel approved (or deemed approved) by Buyer prior to their distribution to tenants (or in the form a tenant is required to deliver under its Lease) (the “Estoppel Delivery Condition”). In the event Seller is unable to obtain the executed Required Estoppel Certificates to satisfy the Estoppel Delivery Condition by the Estoppel Delivery Date (provided that Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall have no obligation to terminate any tenant’s lease or otherwise bring an action against any tenant for a breach thereof), Buyer may elect to (i) subject to Seller’s right to extend the Estoppel Delivery Date, below, terminate this Agreement and Escrow pursuant to Section 4.4, below, or (ii) waive such condition and proceed to the Closing. To the extent that any signed Required Estoppel Certificate is a “Non-Complying Estoppel Certificate” (as defined in the following sentence), Buyer shall have two (2) business days after receipt of such Non-Complying Estoppel Certificate to approve or disapprove the Required Estoppel Certificate so received (and the failure to timely do so shall constitute approval thereof). A “Non-Complying Estoppel Certificate” means a Required Estoppel Certificate which (a) discloses material adverse economic terms of the applicable Lease that are not expressly disclosed in the applicable Lease or to Buyer by Seller prior to the Effective Date, (b) [***], (c) is not substantially in the form of the Prepared Estoppel approved (or deemed approved) by Buyer prior to their distribution to tenants or substantially in the form a tenant is required to deliver under its Lease, other than de minimis changes or changes approved by Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld) or a form proposed by a tenant so long as the statements in such form do not omit material statements that are otherwise required to be made by the tenant under its Lease, (d) is not dated within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, or (e) discloses any matter that materially and adversely affects the value or the operation of the Property. For avoidance of doubt, a Required Estoppel Certificate shall

 

-9-


not be a Non-Complying Estoppel Certificate if it states that (A) the tenant thereunder is in default under the subject Lease, (B) with respect to subsection (a) or (e) above, the matter is of an ascertainable amount (as reasonably approved by Buyer) and Seller elects, in its sole discretion, to provide Buyer with a credit for such amount at Closing, [***] (each a “Seller’s Estoppel” and collectively “Seller’s Estoppels”) which Seller’s Estoppels shall be deemed to comply with this Section 4.3.2 and shall satisfy Seller’s obligation with respect to such tenant. Seller shall be entirely released from liability under a Seller Estoppel upon delivery to Buyer of a Required Estoppel Certificate from the corresponding tenant to the extent such Required Estoppel Certificate is in a form which complies with this Section 4.3.2, and Seller shall have the right to continue to communicate and coordinate with such tenant(s) following Closing with respect to obtaining any such Required Estoppel Certificate. If, despite the use of commercially reasonable efforts, Seller is unable to obtain the Required Estoppel Certificates to satisfy the Estoppel Delivery Condition or declines to provide a Seller’s Estoppel for any particular tenant, the same shall not be considered a default on the part of Seller, but rather a failure of a condition precedent to Closing.

Seller agrees that upon the request of Buyer, Seller shall deliver to tenants of the Property the form of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement required by Buyer’s lender (“SNDAs”) and shall request that such tenants execute and return the SNDAs prior to Closing; provided, however, that it shall not be a condition to Closing that Seller deliver to Buyer the executed SNDAs and Seller’s failure to deliver the executed SNDAs to Buyer shall not constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement.

4.3.3    Seller’s Performance. Seller shall have duly performed in all material respects each and every covenant of Seller hereunder.

4.3.4    Accuracy of Representations and Warranties. On the Closing Date, all representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 11 shall be true and correct in all material respects as if made on and as of the Closing Date except for (i) any inaccuracies therein as to which Buyer has “Buyer’s knowledge” (as defined in Section 11.12, below) prior to the Effective Date, and (ii) any changes in circumstances contemplated or permitted by this Agreement.

4.3.5    Contractor’s Certificates. To the extent Seller is to assign, and Buyer is to assume, any construction contracts in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, it shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close that Seller shall either deliver to Buyer at Closing (i) a contractor’s certificate in the form of the contractor’s certificate attached hereto as Exhibit S (“Contractor’s Certificate”) and dated within two (2) weeks of the Closing Date, or (ii) deliver to Buyer a seller’s certificate (“Seller’s Certificate”) in the form of the Contractor’s Certificate. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain corresponding unconditional lien waivers for any portion of such construction contract that has been paid by Seller but the same shall not be a condition to Closing.. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything stated to the contrary herein, the Contractor’s Certificate or Seller’s Certificate, as applicable, to be delivered under the terms and provisions of this Section 4.3.5 may omit paragraph 1 thereunder to the extent the underlying construction contract is, by its express terms, freely assignable without the requirement of any consent or approval of any party.

4.3.6    Violations. As of the Effective Date, Buyer has not received documentation from the City in response to Buyer’s request for (i) a customary zoning letter for each Property address, and (ii) confirmation that there are no existing violations of the fire code that remain uncured or otherwise unresolved at any of the Property addresses in the City’s files (the “Missing Code Information”). If such Missing Code Information, once received by Buyer, discloses the existence of a material zoning or other code violation that would result in material damages to Buyer, then, as a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, Seller, at its sole election, may (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such noted violations to be cured prior to Closing (provided the same are reasonably susceptible to cure), which cure must be completed by

 

-10-


Closing, and shall be considered complete once the City closes such violation (and Seller may extend the Closing by up to ninety (90) days in order to effectuate such cure), or (ii) provide a credit to Buyer at Closing in the amount reasonably necessary for Buyer to undertake such cure post-Closing (in an amount reasonably approved by Buyer). Promptly upon receipt of the Missing Code Information, Buyer shall either (i) confirm in writing to Seller that no action needs to be taken by Seller hereunder and the provisions of this Section 4.3.6 are null and void and no further force or effect, or (ii) request in writing that Seller cure identified material violations set forth in the Missing Code Information (which request shall include the Missing Code Information). Seller’s failure to cure, for any or no reason, or election not to cure or credit such identified material violations as set forth above shall not be a default on the part of the Seller hereunder, but rather a failure of a condition precedent to Closing in favor of Buyer.

4.4    Failure of Conditions Precedent to Buyer’s Obligations. Buyer’s obligations with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to such obligations for Buyer’s benefit set forth in Section 4.3. If Buyer terminates this Agreement by notice to Seller because of the failure of such conditions precedent (and Seller does not timely dispute such termination), then (i) Escrow Holder shall return the Deposit to Buyer (plus interest accrued on the Deposit only while held by Escrow Holder) in accordance with Buyer’s written instructions within five (5) business days following Buyer’s delivery of a written termination notice to Seller and Escrow Holder so long as Buyer is not then in breach or default under this Agreement, (ii) Seller and Buyer shall each pay one-half (12) of any Escrow cancellation fees or charges, and (iii) except for Buyer’s indemnity and confidentiality obligations and any other provisions under the Agreement which expressly survive termination of the Agreement, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations to one another under this Agreement.

4.5    Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Obligations. The Close of Escrow and Seller’s obligations with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are subject to the timely satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions: (i) Buyer shall have duly performed in all material respects each and every covenant of Buyer hereunder, and (ii) Buyer’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date. Without limitation of the foregoing, Buyer shall have timely delivered the Purchase Price pursuant to the provisions of Section 2, above.

8.1    Ad Valorem Taxes. All real estate and personal property taxes attributable to the Property will be prorated at Closing. Seller shall be charged with all such taxes up to, but not including, the Closing Date. If the applicable tax rate and assessments for the Property have not been established for the year in which Closing occurs, the proration of real estate and/or personal property taxes, as the case may be, will be based upon the rate and assessments for the preceding year. All taxes imposed because of a change of use of the Property after Closing will be paid by Buyer. All taxes imposed as a result of or in connection with the sale of the Property will be paid by Buyer. Real property tax refunds and credits received after the Closing which are attributable to a fiscal tax year prior to the fiscal year of the Closing shall belong to Seller, and those which are attributable to the fiscal tax year in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated based upon the date of Closing.

8.2    Excise, Transfer and Sales Taxes. Buyer will be responsible for the payment of all excise, transfer, sales and use taxes imposed with respect to the conveyance of the Personal Property contemplated by this Agreement and will indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from the payment of such taxes.

 

-14-


8.3    Lease Rentals. All non-delinquent rents (including all accrued tax and operating expense pass-throughs), charges and revenue of any kind receivable from the Leases and other income of the Property will be prorated at Closing. Seller will receive all rents (including all accrued tax and operating expense pass-throughs), charges and other revenue of any kind receivable from the Leases up to, but not including, the Closing Date. No proration will be made with respect to any delinquent rents of any kind receivable from the Leases for any period before Closing. All amounts collected by Buyer subsequent to Closing that relate to delinquent rents or other income from the Property will be promptly remitted to Seller; provided, however, all rents or other income from the Property that do not identify a specific invoice number received by Buyer after Closing will be applied first to any then-current rental or other income period following the Closing, second to the rental or other income period in which the Closing occurred, and third to satisfy delinquent rental or other income obligations for any period before Closing not prorated at Closing. Seller will retain all ownership rights relating to any such delinquent rents or income; if Buyer has not collected the same within thirty (30) days from the Closing Date, then Seller may take such action as it deems necessary to collect such delinquent rents or other income, including the commencement of an action against the tenants under the Leases or any other person liable for such delinquent rents, but not including any action for unlawful detainer or other action seeking to terminate such tenant’s occupancy of its premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of such operating expenses and other charges and expenses are payable by tenants under the Leases (collectively, the “Tenant Charges”) on an estimated basis, then the Tenant Charges shall be reconciled against actual charges and expenses as of and at the Closing, to the extent then possible, and Seller shall provide a proposed reconciliation for Buyer’s approval. Buyer shall have a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the end of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs to provide Seller with a final reconciliation of Tenant Charges. Seller shall provide Buyer with any comments to Buyer’s draft within ten (10) business days following receipt, and the final reconciliation of Tenant Charges, as mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer, shall be known as the “Final Reconciliation”). Seller agrees to provide Buyer with reasonable accounting records or a copy of the general ledger for Seller’s ownership period during the calendar year of Closing, to be used by Buyer when preparing the proposed reconciliation. If the Final Reconciliation shows that Seller owes Buyer additional sums, Seller shall deliver such amount to Buyer within ten (10) days after determination of the Final Reconciliation. If the Final Reconciliation shows that Buyer owes Seller additional sums, Buyer shall pay such amount to Seller within ten (10) days after determination of the Final Reconciliation and collection of such sums from the tenants (provided that Buyer shall use commercially reasonable good faith efforts to collect such sums). Other than as set forth above, there shall not be any further reconciliation of such Tenant Charges after the Final Reconciliation thereof, the proration of such Tenant Charges pursuant to the Final Reconciliation being conclusively presumed to be accurate. After the Final Reconciliation of Tenant Charges is made by and between the parties, Buyer shall be solely liable and responsible to the tenants under the Leases for such reconciliation of Tenant Charges under the Leases.

8.4    Security Deposit. Buyer shall be credited and Seller shall be charged with the balance of any unapplied security deposits then held by Seller under the Leases. The amounts of the security deposits held by Seller as of the Effective Date are set forth on Exhibit K attached hereto. With respect to any security deposits that are held in the form of a letter of credit (“Letters of Credit”), then Seller shall, on the Closing Date (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter) (i) execute and deliver to Buyer such original assignment and/or transfer documentation as may be necessary to effect the transfer of each Letter of Credit , and (ii) concurrently deliver to Buyer the originals of such Letters of Credit or other applicable documents (collectively, the “LC Documentation”). Buyer shall be responsible for the amount of the transfer fee required under such Letters of Credit, and shall otherwise cooperate with Seller to effectuate such transfers, including but not limited to by providing all information required by the issuing bank for a new beneficiary. Once Seller delivers the documentation required from Seller in order to effectuate the transfer, Buyer shall be solely responsible for delivering such documentation to the issuing bank and otherwise taking the necessary steps to effectuate the transfer of the Letters of Credit (provided that Seller will reasonably cooperate with any post-Closing Buyer requests with regard to the transfer of the Letters of Credit, at no material out of pocket cost to Seller).

 

-15-


8.5    Operating Expenses. All utility service charges for electricity, heat and air conditioning service, other utilities, elevator maintenance, common area maintenance, taxes other than real estate taxes such as rental taxes, other expenses incurred in operating the Property that Seller customarily pays and that are not paid by tenants on an estimated or other basis, and any other costs incurred in the ordinary course of business or the management and operation of the Property not so paid by tenants, shall be prorated on an accrual basis; provided, however, that Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have final meter readings made and to terminate service, and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer service to its name, as of the Closing. Seller shall pay all such expenses that accrue prior to the Close of Escrow and Buyer shall pay all such expenses accruing on the Close of Escrow and thereafter. Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain billings and meter readings as of the Close of Escrow to aid in such prorations.

8.6    Leasing Costs. If the Closing occurs, (i) Seller shall be responsible and shall pay for (A) all costs of tenant improvement work or allowances, third-party leasing commissions and other leasing costs (collectively, the “Leasing Costs”) relating to the current term of those Leases executed as of the Effective Date [***], and (B) the tenant improvement allowance, free rent and leasing commissions for 10398 Pacific Center Court (the “Vacant Building”) in the amounts set forth on Exhibit K (“Vacant Building Costs”), and (ii) Buyer shall be responsible and shall pay for the Leasing Costs relating to or arising from (a) the exercise by any tenant, after the Effective Date, of a renewal, expansion or extension option contained in any of the Leases executed as of the Effective Date so long as such Leasing Costs are contemplated (i.e., there is a reference to the same) in the Lease (e.g., there is a fair market value determination of rent and concessions) and including broker commissions if it is a brokered transaction, provided that, for any options exercised prior to Closing, Seller shall promptly disclose to Buyer if a broker commission will be involved and if so, will cooperate with the Buyer to reasonably negotiate a “market” commission rate with such broker, if the rate was not already set; (b) any “New Leases” (as that term is defined in Section 9.2) entered into after the Effective Date in accordance with the terms of Section 9.2 so long as such Leasing Costs are expressly disclosed to Buyer in writing at the time Seller requests Buyer’s consent for such New Lease under the provisions of Section 9.2, except with respect to a New Lease for the Vacant Building (as further set forth Section 8.6.1 below), and (c) any Leasing Costs which are specifically designated as being the responsibility of Buyer as set forth in Exhibit K attached hereto. Any Leasing Costs which are the responsibility of Buyer which are paid by Seller prior to the Closing shall be reimbursed by Buyer to Seller at the Closing through the Escrow. If, on the Closing, there are any outstanding or unpaid Leasing Costs which are the responsibility of Seller as set forth herein, then on the Closing, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit toward the payment of the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of such unpaid Leasing Costs, and following the Closing (A) Buyer shall assume and be responsible for the payment of such Leasing Costs to the extent of such credit, (B) subject to Section 4.3.5 above, Seller shall assign to Buyer all construction contracts that Seller is a party to relating to such outstanding Leasing Costs, and (C) Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller for the failure to complete such work related to such outstanding Leasing Costs for which Buyer received a credit.

8.6.1    Vacant Building Costs. If a New Lease is entered into for the Vacant Building prior to the Closing in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.2, below (the “Vacant Building New Lease”), and if any the Vacant Building Costs become due thereunder prior to Closing, Seller shall be responsible and pay for the Vacant Building Costs due under such Vacant Building New Lease in accordance with the provisions thereof and any Vacant Building Costs not disbursed as of the Closing shall be credited to Buyer as provided for in Section 8.6, above; provided, however, if the tenant inducement costs under such Vacant Building New Lease are in excess of the Vacant Building Costs, Seller shall only be obligated to pay an amount up to the Vacant Building Costs prior to Closing and, if Closing occurs,

 

-16-


Buyer shall be solely responsible for any tenant inducement costs under such Vacant Building New Lease that are in excess of the Vacant Building Costs. In addition, as an accommodation to Buyer, even if there is no Vacant Building New Lease, Buyer shall have the right, prior to Closing but subject to the terms of this Section 8.6.1, to utilize up to [***] of the “TI” amount set forth in Exhibit K for the Vacant Building (the “Vacant Building Pre-Closing Disbursement Amount”) to renovate the Vacant Building (the “Vacant Building Renovations”). Buyer shall notify Seller when and if it desires to proceed with the Vacant Building Renovations. Seller shall have the right to approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (i) all plans, specifications, entitlements, permits and similar items relating to the Vacant Building Renovations, (ii) the identity of the architect, general contractor and all subcontractors, consultants and other vendors that Buyer desires to retain to design and construct the Vacant Building Renovations, (iii) the form of all design, construction, consultant and other vendor contracts relating to the Vacant Building Renovations. Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate and coordinate to establish appropriate mechanics and processes for the implementation of the Vacant Building Renovations. For avoidance of doubt, if Seller signs any contracts for the Vacant Building Renovations as an accommodation to Buyer, Seller shall have no obligation to obtain lien waivers or a Contractor’s Certificate or provide a Seller’s Certificate in lieu thereof at Closing (but Buyer shall have full rights to interact directly with the subject contractor to obtain a Contractor’s Certificate and corresponding lien waivers).

8.7    Contracts. Amounts payable under the Contracts shall be prorated on an accrual basis. Seller shall pay all amounts due thereunder which accrue prior to the Close of Escrow and Buyer shall pay all amounts accruing on the Close of Escrow and thereafter.

8.8    Free Rent. Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing equal to the amount of any “free rent” available to tenants with respect to the current term of the Leases existing as of the Effective Date and an initial estimate is shown on Exhibit K attached hereto and the free rent component of the Vacant Building Costs. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, the credit with respect to free rent shall be subject to adjustment only based on Seller’s and Buyer’s respective periods of ownership of the Property, and not with respect to amount or any other factor (for purposes of clarity, any portion of any free rent period that occurs during Seller’s period of ownership of the Property shall be deducted from the credit provided to Buyer at Closing). From and after Closing, Buyer shall be solely responsible for all free rent associated with the Leases, including any New Leases.

8.9    Proration Statement. At least two (2) business days prior to the Close of Escrow, the parties shall agree upon all of the prorations to be made and submit a statement to Escrow Holder setting forth the same. In the event that any prorations, apportionments or computations made under this Section 8 shall require final adjustment, then the parties shall make the appropriate adjustments promptly when accurate information becomes available and either party hereto shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same, but in no event shall such final adjustment occur later than one hundred eighty (180) days following the Close of Escrow (other than with respect to the Final Reconciliation). Any corrected adjustment or proration shall be paid in cash to the party entitled thereto.

8.10    Survival. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the Close of Escrow for the applicable time periods specifically set forth in Section 8.3 and Section 8.9, above.

9.    Covenants of Seller. Seller hereby covenants with Buyer, as follows:

9.1    Contracts. Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller will not enter into any new Contracts or any amendments or modifications to the existing Contracts (collectively, “New Contracts) without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, and which consent will be deemed to have been given by Buyer if Buyer does not notify Seller in writing to the contrary within three (3) business days after Seller provides written notice to Buyer of such New Contract. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller will provide Buyer with copies of all New Contracts.

 

-17-


9.2    Leases. Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller will not enter into any new Leases or any amendments or extensions of existing Leases (collectively, “New Leases”) without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion, and which consent will be deemed to have been given by Buyer if Buyer does not notify Seller in writing to the contrary within three (3) business days after Seller provides written notice to Buyer of such New Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller will timely provide Buyer with copies of any and all proposals and/or letters of intent for any New Lease.

9.3    Operation in the Ordinary Course. Subject to Sections 9.1 and 9.2, above, and except to the extent that such maintenance is the obligation of any tenant under the Leases, from the date of this Agreement until the Close of Escrow, Seller shall (i) operate and manage the Property in the ordinary course and consistent with Seller’s past practices, (ii) maintain all present services and amenities, (iii) maintain the Property in good condition, repair and working order (but Seller shall not be required to make capital improvements), (iv) keep on hand sufficient materials, supplies, equipment and other personal property for the efficient operation and management of the Property, (v) maintain all property damage insurance policies carried by Seller with respect to the Property in effect as of the Effective Date (or obtain comparable replacement policies), and (vi) perform when due, and otherwise comply with, all of Seller’s obligations and duties under the Leases and Approved Contracts.

All Personal Property and Intangible Personal Property shall be conveyed to Buyer by Seller at the Close of Escrow free from any liens, encumbrances or security interests of any kind or nature other than the Permitted Exceptions.

9.4    Declaration and REA Estoppels. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an estoppel from (a) the Pacific Corporate Center – North Owners’ Association pursuant to that certain Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Units 2, 3, 4 and 6 of Pacific Corporate Center, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P (the “Declaration Estoppel”), (b) GC Pacific Center Court Owner LLC pursuant to that certain Access and Driveway Easement Agreement dated May 7, 2019, and recorded in the Official Records of San Diego County, California on May 8, 2019, as Document No. 2019-0171949 in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P-2 (the “Access Easement Estoppel”) and (c) Mira Mesa Business Centre, LTD pursuant to that certain Reciprocal Easement Agreement dated September 15, 1992, and recorded in the Official Records of San Diego County, California on September 24, 1992, as Document No. 1992-0606808 in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P-3 (the “REA Estoppel”, together with the Declaration Estoppel and the Access Easement Estoppel, the “Title Estoppels”). Seller’s failure to obtain any of the Title Estoppels shall not be a default on the part of Seller nor shall it be a condition precedent to Closing.

9.5    In-Progress Capital Projects. Seller is currently undertaking the following capital projects: (i) new elevator construction at 10398 Pacific Center Court pursuant that certain Agreement for Construction Between Owner and Contractor [***] “Contractor”, and (ii) asphalt repair at 10390, 10394 and 10398 Pacific Center Court pursuant to that certain Engagement Letter [***] “Contractor” (such elevator construction and asphalt work, collectively, the “Capital Work”).

9.6    Title Matters. From and after the Effective Date, Seller covenants and agrees not to record any new title matter encumbering the Property that will not be removed from the Property by Buyer prior to the Closing, other than matters required by law to the extent consented to by Buyer in its reasonable discretion.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Buyer may, without prior notice to Seller, contact governmental entities to seek entitlements to allow the further development and/or redevelopment of the Property (or any portion thereof) as an office and/or life science project (or other use reasonably approved in advance by Seller) provided that Buyer may not do anything that would have a material and adverse effect on the value of the Property (the “Intended Development”). Seller agrees, at no material cost to Seller, to reasonably cooperate with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s obtainment of the Intended Development, including, but not limited, by executing applications and other related documentation (including executing a letter in favor of the City advising the City that Buyer has authority to process and prepare documentation for the Intended Development) and responding promptly to Buyer to enable timely and complete responses to inquiries by the City regarding the Intended Development.

10.1.6    California Natural Hazard Disclosure. Buyer acknowledges that any Seller owning Property located in the State of California is required to disclose if such Property lies within the following natural hazardous areas or zones: (a) a special flood hazard area (any type Zone “A” or “V”) designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Cal.

Code Section 8589.4); (c) a very high fire hazard severity zone designated pursuant to Cal. Gov. Code Section 51178 or 51179 (in which event the owner maintenance obligations of Cal. Gov. Code Section 51182 would apply) ( Cal. Gov. Code Section 51183.5); (d) a wildland area that may contain substantial forest fire risks and hazards designated pursuant to Cal. Pub. Resources Code Section 4125 (in which event (i) such Seller would be subject to maintenance requirements of Cal. Pub.

The written report prepared by the Natural Hazard Expert regarding the results of its examination fully and completely discharges such Seller from its disclosure obligations under California Civil Code Section 1103, and, for the purpose of this Agreement, the provisions of Civil Code Section 1103.4 regarding the non-liability of Seller for errors and/or omissions not within its personal knowledge shall be deemed to apply. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer will independently evaluate and investigate whether any or all of such natural hazards affect the applicable Property, and Seller shall have no liabilities or obligations with respect thereto. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall execute and deliver to Seller an acknowledgement of receipt of the Natural Hazards Disclosure Statement. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the matters set forth in the Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement may change on or following the Closing Date for such Property and that Seller has no obligation to update, modify, or supplement the Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement following such Closing Date.

THIS PROVISION IS AN ESSENTIAL ASPECT OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

If after the Effective Date and prior to Closing Buyer obtains “Buyer’s knowledge” (as defined below) of any Material Exception Matter, Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity, shall have the option of (i) waiving the same, and proceeding with the Close of Escrow without any reduction in Purchase Price, or (ii) terminating this Agreement, in which event the Deposit and any other funds deposited by Buyer into the Escrow and all interest earned thereon shall be returned to Buyer so long as Buyer is not then in breach or default under this Agreement. Any such election shall be made by Buyer not later than three (3) business days from Buyer obtaining Buyer’s knowledge of such Material Exception Matter.

(and Seller shall have the right to delay the Closing for up to ten (10) business days to effectuate such cure). If Seller makes such foregoing election, then Buyer’s original notice under clause (ii) above shall be deemed Buyer’s election to not terminate this Agreement and proceed pursuant to clause (i) above. If Buyer does not timely elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.12 and elects to proceed to Closing hereunder, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all remedies at law or in equity with respect to any Material Exception Matter. Whenever phrases such as “Buyer obtained knowledge“ or “Buyers knowledge“ are used in this Section 11.12 or otherwise used herein with regard to the “knowledge” of Buyer, they will be deemed to refer exclusively to the current actual (as opposed to constructive) knowledge of [***] (Buyers Representatives”) (who shall have no personal liability by virtue of being included as a Buyer Representative), at the times indicated only, if any, without duty of inquiry whatsoever. In no event shall Seller be liable to Buyer for (except to the extent expressly elected by Seller pursuant to this Section 11.12), or be deemed to be in default under this Agreement by reason of, any breach of a representation or warranty if Buyer had Buyer’s knowledge thereof prior to Closing. Buyer’s Representatives are the representatives of Buyer that will have the most knowledge of all due diligence matters relating to the Property and shall be deemed to have “actual” knowledge of all third party reports prepared by or on behalf of Buyer, the content of all executed and delivered tenant estoppel certificates, and all direct written communications sent from Seller to Buyer’s Representatives at least two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date. As used in this Section 11.12, the term “Material Exception Matter” shall mean a matter which would make a representation or warranty of Seller contained in Sections 11.1 through 11.11 above (collectively, “Seller’s Representations”) untrue or incorrect that would cause monetary damage to Buyer or adversely impact the value of the Property in an amount equal to or in excess of [***], provided that, notwithstanding the second grammatical sentence of this Section 11.12, Buyer shall be obligated to proceed with Closing nonetheless if such monetary damage is equal to or less than [***] and Seller, at its sole option, credits Buyer (or for purposes of a Material Exception Matter to the representation in Section 11.7 (a “Litigation Issue”), provides Buyer with an indemnity from Seller and Seller’s Guarantor at Closing on substantially the same form as the OPLP Guaranty, modified to indemnify Buyer for the Litigation Issue, which indemnity shall be freely assignable to Buyer’s lender, any successor owner of the affected Property (and its lender) and shall not be subject to the Survival Period, Floor Amount, Cap Amount, or other post-Closing limitations for such monetary damages that are in excess of [***].

11.13    Seller’s Knowledge. Whenever phrases such as “to Seller’s knowledge” or “Seller has no knowledge” or similar phrases are used in Seller’s Representations or otherwise used herein with regard to the “knowledge” of Seller, they will be deemed to refer exclusively to matters within the current actual (as opposed to constructive) knowledge of the Seller’s Representative, who Seller represents and warrants is the person on behalf of Seller who is most likely to have knowledge of the facts and circumstances covered by the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 11.1 through 11.11 above. No duty of inquiry or investigation on the part of Seller or Seller’s Representative will be required or implied by the making of any representation or warranty which is so limited to matters within Seller’s current actual knowledge, and in no event shall Seller’s Representative have any personal liability therefor.

11.14    Survival. Seller’s Representations, as updated as of the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will survive Closing for a period of six (6) months after the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”). No claim for a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller will be actionable or payable if (i) Buyer does not notify Seller in writing of such breach and commence a “legal action” thereon within said six (6) month period, or (ii) the breach in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter which was actually known to Buyer prior to Closing.

20.5    Disclosure by Law. In the event that Buyer or any Buyer’s Representatives are requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable law, regulation or legal process to disclose any of the Information , Buyer will notify Seller promptly (unless prohibited by law) so that Seller may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in Seller’s sole discretion , waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and if Seller seeks such an order, Buyer shall provide such cooperation as Seller shall reasonably request). In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained or that Seller waives compliance with the terms of this Agreement and that Buyer of any Buyer’s Representatives are nonetheless legally compelled to disclose such Information, Buyer or Buyer’s Representatives, as the case may be, will furnish only that portion of the Information which it is advised by counsel is legally required and will give Seller written notice (unless prohibited by law) of the Information to be disclosed as far in advance as practicable and exercise all efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Information.

22.    Survival. Except as expressly set forth to the contrary herein, no representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Seller contained herein shall survive the Closing.

 

-35-


23.    Joint and Several Liability.
