13


THIS SECTION 10.2 SHALL SURVIVE THE CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSE OF ESCROW.

11. Covenants. From and after the date of this Agreement and until Closing or any termination or cancellation of this Agreement, Seller, without the prior written consent of Buyer, shall not (i) enter into a contract or agreement for the sale, transfer or conveyance, exchange, encumbrance or other disposition of all or any portion of the Property; (ii) grant a lien, pledge, encumbrance, security interest, option, right of first refusal, charge, license, right of way, dedication or easement against or across the Property which will not be released or removed prior to Close of Escrow; (iii) enter into any maintenance, management or service contracts for the Property which will remain in force and effect after the Closing; (iv) terminate any liability or hazard insurance for the Property prior to Close of Escrow; or (v) commit or permit to be committed any waste to the Property. Seller shall promptly furnish Buyer with any notice concerning the Property that Seller receives from any appraisal district, taxing authority or other governmental entity.

12. Broker’s Commission. Concerning any brokerage commission, Seller and Buyer agree as follows:

12.1 Seller and Buyer warrant, each to the other, that they have not dealt with any finder, broker or realtor in connection with the Transaction other than Steve Mahood of Moody Rambin Interests, and Dennis N. Johnston (collectively, the “Brokers”).

12.2 Seller shall pay a commission to the Brokers in the amount of 6% of the Purchase Price, such that  1/2 of the Brokers fee shall be paid to Steve Mahood of Moody Rambin Interests and  1/2 of the Brokers fee shall be paid to Dennis N. Johnston, only upon the occurrence of the Close of Escrow.

12.3 Seller shall and does hereby indemnify Buyer against, and agrees to hold Buyer harmless for and from any claim, demand or suit for any brokerage commission, finder’s fee or similar charge in respect of the execution of this Agreement or the Transaction based on any act by or agreement or contract with Seller, and for all losses, obligations, costs, expenses and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Buyer on account of or arising from any such claim, demand or suit.

12.4 Except for the commission payable by Seller to Brokers pursuant to Section 12.2, Buyer shall and does hereby indemnify Seller against, and agrees to hold Seller harmless for and from any claim, demand or suit for any brokerage commission, finder’s fee or similar charge in respect of the execution of this Agreement or the Transaction based on any agreement or contract with Buyer, and for all losses, obligations, costs, expenses and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Seller on account of or arising from any such claim, demand or suit.

The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive the Closing Date and the delivery of the Special Warranty Deed.

13. Assignment. Buyer may assign this Agreement or any of its rights under this Agreement to any person or entity in which Buyer or its affiliates hold an equity or ownership

 

14


interest or to any person or entity for which Buyer (or an affiliate) provides investment or management services without Seller’s consent. Buyer may not otherwise assign this Agreement or any of its rights under this Agreement to any person, partnership, corporation or other entity other than pursuant to this Section 13 without Seller’s written consent.

14. Risk of Loss. In the event of any material loss, contamination, damage or taking of the Property or any portion thereof prior to the Close of Escrow, Buyer may, within 10 Business Days after Buyer receives notice of such loss, contamination, damage or taking, or prior to Close of Escrow, whichever occurs first, cancel this Agreement. In the alternative, Buyer may attempt to negotiate an appropriate downward adjustment of the Purchase Price. If Seller and Buyer cannot agree upon such a downward adjustment within a reasonable period (not to exceed 10 Business Days from the date Buyer receives notice of the loss, damage, contamination or taking or Close of Escrow), Buyer may cancel this Agreement. If (i) Buyer waives any such loss, damage or taking and proceeds to consummate the Transaction or (ii) the loss, damage or taking is not material, the Transaction shall continue as set forth in this Agreement, then Seller, at the Close of Escrow and as a condition precedent thereto, shall pay to Buyer or apply against the Purchase Price the amount of any insurance or condemnation proceeds attributable thereto which have been received by Seller, and assign to Buyer as of the Close of Escrow all rights or claims to such proceeds payable thereafter. For purposes of this Section, a loss, damage, contamination or taking shall be deemed material if it results in the permanent loss of use of 5% or more of the square footage of the Property, or results in potential loss in value of more than 5% of the Purchase Price. The Closing Date shall be extended as necessary to permit Buyer and Seller to comply with this Section 14.

15. Remedies.

15.1 Buyer’s Remedies. If Seller fails to perform any of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and such failure continues for five days after Seller’s receipt of written notice from Buyer, then Buyer may, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for such failure, pursue one of the following: (i) waive such failure and proceed to consummate the Transaction (provided that in no event shall Buyer have the right to waive any of Seller’s conditions precedent hereunder); (ii) obtain specific performance of this Agreement; or (iii) if and only if, specific performance is not available to Buyer for any reason, recover damages due to such failure of Seller to perform hereunder; or (iv) cancel this Agreement and receive a return of the Earnest Money Deposit.

15.2 Seller’s Remedies. If Buyer fails to perform any of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement and such failure continues for five days after Buyer’s receipt of written notice from Seller, then Seller shall as its sole and exclusive remedy be entitled to cancel this Agreement and retain the Earnest Money Deposit (including any and all additional Earnest Money Deposits) in accordance with Section 4, as Seller’s agreed and total liquidated damages. Seller and Buyer agree that actual damages would be difficult to calculate and that the Earnest Money Deposit is a reasonable estimate of the damages Seller will incur in the event of a default by Buyer. In no event shall Seller be entitled to recover any other monetary damages against Buyer due to any such failure of Buyer to perform hereunder.

 

15


16. Cancellation. If this Agreement is to be cancelled pursuant to the provisions hereof, such cancellation shall be effected by the canceling party giving written notice of the cancellation to the other party and Escrow Agent. Upon such cancellation, Escrow Agent shall dispose of the Earnest Money Deposit in accordance with Section 4 and return all documents deposited in the Escrow to the party who supplied the documents. Upon such delivery of Earnest Money and documents, this Agreement and the Escrow shall be deemed cancelled and terminated, and except as expressly provided herein, neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder.

17. Attorneys’ Fees. If there is any litigation between Seller and Buyer to enforce or interpret any provisions hereof or rights arising hereunder, the unsuccessful party in such litigation, as determined by the court, shall pay to the successful party, as determined by the court, all costs and expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the successful party, such fees to be determined by the court sitting without a jury.

18. Notices. Except as otherwise required by law, any notice given in connection with the Transaction shall be in writing and shall be given by personal delivery, overnight courier service, telecopy, electronic mail or United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to Seller or Buyer at the addresses set forth below (or at such other address as Seller or Buyer or the person receiving copies may designate in writing). Notice shall be deemed to have been received on the date on which notice is delivered, if notice is given by personal delivery, telecopy or electronic mail, on the day after the delivery to the overnight courier service, if such a service is used, on the earlier of actual receipt or the third day after deposit in the mail, if mailed. Copies of all notices given to Seller or Buyer shall be given to Escrow Agent.

Accordingly, the terms and provisions hereof shall be construed in accordance with their usual and customary meanings. Seller and Buyer hereby waive the application of any rule of law which otherwise would be applicable in connection with the construction of this Agreement that ambiguous or conflicting terms or provisions should be construed against the party who (or whose attorney) prepared the executed Agreement or any earlier draft of the same.

30. Interpretation. If there is any specific and direct conflict between, or any ambiguity resulting from, the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any document, instrument or other agreement executed in connection herewith or in furtherance hereof, including any exhibits hereto, the same shall be consistently interpreted in such manner as to give effect to the general purposes and intention as expressed in this Agreement, which shall be deemed to prevail and control.
