Within five (5) Business Days of the Effective Date, Sellers shall transmit Sellers’ Due Diligence Materials to Purchaser or provide access to a data site, to the extent that Sellers’ Due Diligence Materials are in Sellers’ actual possession and control, are otherwise available for transmission, have not already been transmitted to Purchaser, and do not otherwise constitute

19


 

legally-privileged information or attorney work product. Each item of Sellers’ Due Diligence Materials shall be a true, correct, and complete copy of the document it purports to be, and shall include, without limitation, the following items (collectively, “Sellers’ Due Diligence Materials”):

4.1.14
Inspections. Ryan Bell of CNL Financial Group Investment Management, LLC is Seller’s designated representative for handling all matters related to the Inspections. Purchaser and Purchaser’s Inspectors shall have the right to enter

20


 

upon the Condominium Property, at their own risk, and to perform, at Purchaser’s expense, such Inspections as Purchaser may reasonably deem as appropriate; provided, however, that Purchaser and Purchaser’s Inspectors shall only have the right to conduct such Inspections insofar as Sellers are permitted to conduct such inspections pursuant to the Condominium Documents and Tenant Leases, as applicable. In connection with such Inspections, Purchaser covenants with Sellers that Purchaser and Purchaser’s Inspectors shall (a) not materially interfere with the operation of the Businesses or materially disturb the Assets or the business operations of Sellers’ tenants, and (b) exercise Purchaser’s inspection rights in the least intrusive manner as reasonably possible so as to minimize the impact of the Inspections on the Assets, the Businesses, and any other business activity of Sellers or Sellers’ tenants at the Condominium Property. Purchaser must give Sellers at least two (2) Business Days’ advanced notice of its intent to conduct an Inspection before such Inspection can occur. Purchaser or its parent company and Purchaser’s Inspectors shall: (x) maintain insurance coverage with commercially-reasonable policy amounts covering the performance of the Inspections; (y) name Sellers and Managers as additional insureds under all such policies; and (z) immediately tender such proof of said insurance coverage as Sellers reasonably request. Sellers have the right to disallow any Inspection until Sellers are reasonably satisfied with Purchaser’s and/or Purchaser’s Inspectors’ compliance with the insurance coverage requirements cited in the immediately preceding sentence. Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, save, insure, pay, defend, protect, and hold harmless Sellers and Managers (each Manager being a third party beneficiary of such indemnification obligation) from and against any and all damage or loss, including court costs, expert witness fees, and attorneys’ fees, that are sustained or incurred as a result of, and all death, personal injury, or property damage caused by or related to, Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s Inspectors’ due diligence activities, including the Inspections. The indemnity obligation of this Section 4.1.2 shall survive Closing and/or the termination of this Agreement. Immediately upon the conclusion of any Inspection, Purchaser shall restore the Assets to the condition which they existed immediately prior to the commencement of such Inspection.
4.1.15

Sellers and Managers shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser during the Due Diligence Period in order to arrange communications, pursuant to a schedule to be reasonably agreed upon by Purchaser and Sellers, in order to allow Purchaser to interview representatives of tenants under Tenant Leases as part of Purchaser’s due diligence review of the Condominium Property.

21


 

Sellers shall have the option of having a representative at said interviews. Purchaser shall apprise Sellers from time to time as to its plans for communicating with such individuals and afford Sellers with the opportunity to be present during any such communications.
4.2    Matters Relating to Title to the Assets.
4.2.5
Status of Title. Within ten (10) days after the Effective Date, Sellers shall obtain and deliver to Purchaser, at the cost of either Seller or Purchaser based on local custom of the Province of British Columbia (with respect to the Whistler Resort Property) and the Province of Ontario (with respect to the Blue Mountain Resort Property), current title searches (collectively, the “Title Searches”) with respect to the Condominium Units. Purchaser may order, at its own cost, Surveys. Any alleged defects in, or objections to, the title shown in the Title Searches submitted by Purchaser to Sellers in a Notice shall constitute “Title Exceptions,” and any alleged defects in, or objections to, the title shown in the Surveys submitted by Purchaser to Sellers in a Notice shall constitute “Survey Defects.” The Purchaser shall provide Sellers with a Notice of all Title Exceptions and Survey Defects (a “Title Notice”) for each particular Condominium Unit within ten (10) days of receipt of the Title Searches, and if applicable, a Survey of the applicable Condominium Units. Purchaser’s failure to object to any Title Exceptions and Survey Defects prior to such date shall be deemed a waiver by Purchaser of Purchaser’s right to object to any such Title Exceptions and Survey Defects. Sellers shall have ten (10) days from the date on which they receive Purchaser’s Title Notice in which to respond to such Title Notice. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Sellers shall have no obligation to cure any Title Exceptions or Survey Defects unless Sellers otherwise expressly assume such an obligation in a Title Notice. Title Exceptions and Survey Defects which Sellers expressly agree to cure in a Title Notice to Purchaser shall constitute “Unpermitted Exceptions”. All Title Exceptions and Survey Defects which Sellers have not expressly agreed to cure in a Notice to Purchaser shall constitute “Permitted Exceptions.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, if Sellers have not so advised Purchaser in writing of Sellers’ agreement to cure or not cure any Title Exception or Survey Defect prior to the above-referenced date, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure the same. With respect to Permitted Exceptions, Purchaser may elect prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (regardless of when Purchaser receives Sellers’ Notice), to either (a) accept such title to the Condominium Property subject to said Permitted Exceptions, with no abatement of the Purchase Price, or (b) to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.5 hereof. If Purchaser has not so advised

22


 

Sellers in writing of Purchaser’s election under the immediately preceding sentence prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed in accordance with clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence. Sellers shall cure Unpermitted Exceptions at their own expense. If Sellers elect to, but are unable to cure Unpermitted Exceptions by Closing, Sellers may, in accordance with Sellers’ rights under Section 8.1 of this Agreement, extend the Closing Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days and attempt to cure such Unpermitted Exceptions. In the event that the Sellers exercise their right to extend the Closing Date as aforesaid, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the “Closing Date” (as defined in the US Companion Contract) shall concurrently be deemed extended for an equivalent amount of time
4.2.6
Failure of Title to the Assets. If, on the Closing Date or the conclusion of any extension period taken by Sellers pursuant to Section 4.2.1 hereof, whichever occurs later, title to the Condominium Property is subject to any Unpermitted Exception that Purchaser has not otherwise waived pursuant to Section 4.2.1 hereof, Purchaser may elect, as its sole right and remedy, to either (a) accept such title to the Condominium Property subject to said Unpermitted Exception, with no abatement of the Purchase Price (except to the extent of monetary liens caused by Sellers of a definite, fixed, and ascertainable amount not in excess of the Purchase Price which will be discharged on Closing), or (b) to terminate this Agreement and proceed pursuant to Section 10.1(a) hereof.
4.3    Contracts. Purchaser shall identify to Sellers, in writing during the Due Diligence Period, all Contracts that Purchaser wishes to assume at Closing from Sellers. After the conclusion of the Due Diligence Period, but before Closing, Sellers shall effectuate the termination of all Contracts not identified by Purchaser during the Due Diligence Period, without any cost to Purchaser, unless Purchaser directs Sellers otherwise before a Contract is cancelled. Unless Purchaser instructs Sellers in writing during the Due Diligence Period to retain a Contract, Purchaser shall have no recourse against Sellers if Sellers elect to cancel a Contract after the Due Diligence Period concludes. Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to cause the Contracts to be transferred to Purchaser. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) Sellers shall not be required to effectuate any assignment of any Contract to Purchaser that would require Sellers and/or Managers to continue to be liable thereunder for matters arising after the date of such assignment, and (b) all transfers of Contracts by Sellers to Purchaser shall be at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.
4.4    Licenses and Permits. Purchaser shall identify to Sellers, in writing during the Due Diligence Period, all Licenses and Permits which Purchaser wishes to assume from Sellers at

23


 

Closing. Purchaser shall be responsible for obtaining the transfer of all such Licenses and Permits (to the extent they are transferable). Purchaser shall, promptly, but no later than forty-five (45) days prior to Closing, submit all necessary applications and other materials to the appropriate Governmental Authority and take such other actions to effectuate the transfer of the Licenses and Permits and/or the issuance of new Licenses and Permits as of the Closing. Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to cause the Licenses and Permits to be transferred (to the extent they are transferable) or to cause new Licenses and Permits to be issued to Purchaser. Sellers may, or may direct Managers to, terminate any of the Licenses and Permits not identified for assignment by Purchaser in writing during the Due Diligence Period. Purchaser shall have no recourse against Sellers if Sellers elect, after the Due Diligence Period concludes, to cancel Licenses and Permits that are not identified for retention by Purchaser in writing during the Due Diligence Period. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) Sellers shall not be required to effectuate any assignment of any Licenses and Permits to Purchaser that would require Sellers and/or Managers to continue to be liable thereunder for matters arising from acts occurring after the date of such assignment, and (b) all transfers of Licenses and Permits by Sellers and/or Managers to Purchaser, and the issuance of any Licenses and Permits to Purchaser, shall be at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.
4.5    Purchaser’s Election Whether to Proceed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Termination Notice is delivered, then this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, and the parties hereto shall have no further obligations to one another hereunder (except for any obligations or liabilities that expressly survive termination of this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement with respect to less than all of the Assets.
4.6    Automatic Termination. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, the Parties acknowledge and agree that any termination of the US Companion Contract or the Share Purchase Agreement (except if the latter is terminated pursuant to a Purchased Shares Termination Notice) shall cause this Agreement to be terminated automatically.

31


 

6.2.11
Taxable Period Including the Closing Date. Sellers shall have the right to commence, continue, and settle any proceeding to contest any Taxes for any taxable period which includes the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser desires to contest any Taxes for such taxable period prior to Closing and Sellers have not yet commenced any proceeding or process to contest any such Taxes for such taxable period, Purchaser may request Sellers to do so. If Sellers desire to contest such Taxes, Sellers shall provide written notice to Purchaser within ten (10) days after receipt of Purchaser’s request confirming that Sellers will contest such Taxes, in which case Sellers shall proceed to contest such Taxes, and Purchaser shall not have the right to contest such Taxes. If Sellers fail to provide such written notice confirming that the applicable Seller will contest such Taxes within such ten (10) day period, Purchaser shall have the right to contest such Taxes, and Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with respect to any such contest made by Purchaser. Any refunds or abatements awarded in such proceedings shall be used first to reimburse the Party contesting such Taxes for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Party in contesting such Taxes, and the remainder of such refunds or abatements shall be prorated between Sellers and Purchaser as of the Cut-Off Time, and the Party receiving such refunds or abatements promptly shall pay such prorated amount due to the other Party.
6.2.12
Cooperation. Sellers and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Party contesting the Taxes (at no cost or expense to the Party not contesting the Taxes other than any de minimis cost or expense or any cost or expense which the requesting Party agrees in writing to reimburse) and to execute and deliver any documents and instruments reasonably requested by the Party contesting the Taxes in furtherance of the contest of such Taxes.

From and after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, whichever occurs first, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not, and to not permit Managers to, take any of the following actions without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed by Purchaser: (x) fail to pay all taxes and special assessments levied against or incurred in connection with the ownership and/or operation of the Assets, insofar as the same become due and payable; (y) enter into any transaction with respect to or affecting the Assets which would materially and adversely affect or bind Purchaser from and after the Closing (for the sake of clarification, a Lifestyle Sale Event does not qualify as such a transaction); and (z) enter into, amend, waive any rights under, terminate, or extend any Tenant Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, beginning on the date that is ten (10) days prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, the Sellers consent and agree that they shall not materially revise the terms of the Management Agreements or the Head Leases without Purchaser’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

6.4    Notices and Filings. Sellers and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other (at no cost or expense to the Party whose cooperation is requested, other than any de minimis cost or expense or any cost or expense which the requesting Party agrees in writing to reimburse) to provide written notice to any Person under any Contracts and Licenses and Permits, and to effect any required registrations or filings with any Governmental Authority or other Person, regarding the change in ownership of the Condominium Property, the Businesses, or the other Assets.
6.5    Further Assurances. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing or termination of this Agreement, whichever occurs first, Sellers and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things

33


 

necessary, proper, or advisable to consummate the transactions described in this Agreement, including, without limitation, (a) obtaining all necessary consents, approvals, and authorizations required to be obtained from any Governmental Authority or other Person under this Agreement or Applicable Law, and (b) effecting all registrations and filings required under this Agreement or Applicable Law.

Purchaser shall apprise Sellers and Managers from time to time as to its plans for communicating with such employees, and to complete such communications in advance of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.7, Purchaser shall have the right to directly communicate with Ryan Bell of CNL Financial Group Investment Management, LLC, and any Persons listed on Schedule 6.7, involving matters with respect to the Condominium Property or any other Assets, provided however, Ryan Bell or another representative of Sellers may be present at any meeting or on-site visit or on any call with any said persons.

6.10    Securities Filings. Purchaser shall use commercially-reasonable efforts to promptly provide Sellers, upon Sellers’ prior written request therefor, with such information as Sellers

34


 

determine and Purchaser agreed to in writing, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, is necessary to complete any filings with the SEC or other Governmental Authority which is made by Sellers or their Affiliates. Notwithstanding Section 6.1, Sellers and their Affiliates shall have the right to include any and all information concerning the Assets and the transactions memorialized by this Agreement deemed necessary by Sellers, in their reasonable discretion, to be incorporated into any regulatory filings made by Sellers or their Affiliates with the SEC or other Governmental Authority, including without limitation on Form 8-K or Form 10-K; provided, however, that Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of any such filing to Purchaser in advance of such filing. The terms and provisions of this Section 6.10 shall survive the Closing.

Said Required Tenant Estoppels shall be in the form and substance required of such tenants by each respective Tenant Lease or, if the form is not set forth in the Tenant Lease, then in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller agrees to request estoppel certificates from each tenant occupying any portion of the Condominium Units prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and prior to Closing Seller shall forward to Purchaser all estoppel certificates received by Seller from any such tenant. If any of the estoppel certificates received by Seller pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.11 state that landlord is in default under the terms of that Tenant Lease or landlord has failed to undertake maintenance, repairs or replacements which are the responsibility of the landlord pursuant to the terms of the Tenant Lease and the applicable Seller, as landlord, does not dispute such claim by the Tenant (the “Escrow Obligations Claims”), then: (a) the Escrow Obligations Claims shall be reflected on the Seller’s Closing Bringdown Certificate, (b) Seller shall give Purchaser a credit at Closing for the costs of the unfunded Escrow Obligations Claims in accordance with the terms of Section 9.2.4 hereof and Purchaser shall be responsible thereafter for such Escrow Obligations Claims, and (c) the Tenant or tenanted square footage represented by any Tenant Lease for such estoppel certificates shall count towards the requirement of Sellers to provide the Required Tenant Estoppels. If any of the estoppel certificates contains content which is deemed incorrect by Sellers, Sellers shall notify Purchaser (the “Incorrect Estoppel(s)”). Sellers shall have no obligations to pursue corrections to Incorrect Estoppel certificates

35


 

provided Sellers have otherwise provided the Required Tenant Estoppels as set forth hereinabove and said Incorrect Estoppels shall not count towards the Required Tenant Estoppels. Sellers make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy or content of the Incorrect Estoppel certificates.

42


 

Closing takes place before the real property taxes and special assessments are fixed for the tax year in which the Cut-Off Time occurs, the apportionment of real property taxes and special assessments will be made on the basis of the real property taxes for the immediately preceding tax year based upon the maximum discount allowed and available. There shall be no re-proration of taxes after Closing. All delinquent taxes and all delinquent assessments, if any, on the Assets will be paid at Closing from funds accruing to Sellers.

9.2.14
Income and Expense; Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. The parties hereby agree that all income received from the operation of the Businesses through the Cut-Off Time shall be the property of Sellers; accordingly, all expenses derived from the operation of the Businesses through the Cut-Off Time shall be the obligation of Sellers. All income received from the operation of the Businesses after the Closing Date shall be the property of Purchaser; accordingly, all expenses derived from the operation of the Businesses after the Closing Date shall be the obligation of Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2.3, at Closing, Sellers (or Sellers’ designee(s)) shall receive a credit from Purchaser for all accounts receivable owing to the Head Lessee with respect to the Businesses at Closing, and Purchaser shall receive an assignment of all such accounts receivable from the Head Lessee. Accordingly, following Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to retain all such accounts receivable received by Purchaser. Sellers and Purchaser mutually covenant and agree to jointly file with the Canada Revenue Agency, following Closing and within a reasonable time not to exceed 60 days, an Election in Respect of the Sale of Debts Receivable pursuant to subsection 22(1) of the Tax Act.

Purchaser shall not receive a credit for any non-assignable security deposits held by Sellers which Sellers shall return to the tenant under

43


 

such Tenant Lease, and Purchaser shall obtain any replacement security deposit from such tenant, with any such non-assignable security deposits held by Sellers being noted in Schedule 2.2.7.
9.2.16

9.2.17
Licenses and Permits. All amounts prepaid, accrued, or due and payable under any Licenses and Permits transferred to Purchaser shall be prorated as of the Cut-Off Time between Sellers and Purchaser. Sellers shall receive a credit for all deposits made by Sellers under the Licenses and Permits (together with any interest thereon) which are transferred to Purchaser or which remain on deposit for the benefit of Purchaser.
9.2.18
Method of Pro-ration. All pro-rations will be made as of midnight on the day that is one (1) day prior to the Closing (as may be extended pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof), based on a 365-day year or the actual number of days during the month in which the Closing occurs, as applicable (the “Cut-Off Time”), with Sellers retaining all income and revenue and paying all expenses accrued as of said date prior to the Closing and Purchaser retaining all income and revenue and paying all expenses accrued as of said date of Closing.

All utility services in the name of Sellers shall be prorated as of the Cut-Off Time between Sellers and Purchaser. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain readings for all utilities as of the Cut-Off Time. If readings cannot be obtained as of the Cut-Off Time, the cost of such utilities shall be prorated between Sellers and Purchaser by estimating such cost on the basis of the most recent bill for such service; provided, however, that after the Closing, the Parties shall re-prorate the amount for such utilities and pay any deficiency in the original proration to the other Party promptly upon receipt of the actual bill for the relevant billing period.

44


 

Sellers shall receive a credit for all deposits transferred to Purchaser or which remain on deposit for the benefit of Purchaser with respect to such utility contracts.
9.2.20
Re-Prorations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein but except as set forth in Section 9.2.1 herein, if during the ninety (90) day period following the Closing Date, any Party in its reasonable discretion believes that any of the Prorations as reflected on the Closing Statement are not based on actual or accurate figures, such Party shall have the right to request that such Prorations be re-prorated, and upon such request the Parties agree in good faith to endeavor to accomplish such re-proration as soon as practicable following such request. Any re-prorations shall be made in the same manner contemplated in this Section 9.2. This Section 9.2.9 shall survive Closing.
9.3    Cash. All cash on hand, escrow, and reserve accounts of Sellers for the period prior to the Closing Date shall remain the property or responsibility, as applicable, of Sellers. Sellers shall be responsible for the payment of all expenses on account of services and supplies furnished to and for the benefit of the Assets or Businesses through but not including the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all expenses on account of services and supplies furnished to and for the benefit of the Assets or Businesses on and after the Closing Date.

All Taxes applicable to the conveyance of any of the Blue Mountain Condominium Units, and, if applicable, the Whistler Condominium Units or registering of the deed by which a Condominium Unit will be conveyed shall be paid as set forth on Schedule 9.7. For certainty, notwithstanding anything herein contained, provided that the HST/GST Undertaking and Indemnity is delivered, the Purchaser shall not be required to pay HST/GST on any portion of the Purchase Price allocated to real property, in accordance with the allocation of Purchase Price in Schedule 3.4, at Closing.

ARTICLE X
    
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
10.1    Sellers’ Default. If, at or any time prior to Closing, Sellers, US Parties or CLP Canada Nominee, Inc. (“Share Seller”) fail to perform in any material respect their covenants or obligations under this Agreement, the US Companion Contract or the Share Purchase Agreement, which breach or default is not caused by a Purchaser Default and no material Purchaser’s Default has occurred which remains uncured (a “Sellers’ Default”), and Sellers, US Parties and/or Share Seller, as applicable, fail to cure such Sellers’ Default within ten (10) Business Days of receiving Notice from Purchaser of same, then Purchaser may elect as its sole and exclusive remedy one (1) of the following described remedies: (a) terminate this Agreement by providing Notice to Sellers, and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except those rights and obligations which expressly survive such termination; or (b) waive such default, covenant, or obligation without any reduction in or setoff against the Purchase Price and proceed to Closing pursuant to this Agreement. In the event Purchaser chooses to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.1(a) hereof, Purchaser shall receive a full refund of the Deposit without deduction or set-off. If Purchaser fails to make an election of remedies as set forth herein then it shall be deemed that Purchaser has elected option (a) above and this Agreement shall be terminated. If Purchaser elects option (b) above and Sellers refuse to proceed to Closing, then Purchaser may enforce its rights by pursuing an action for specific performance, if said action is filed within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date. If Purchaser elects option (b) above and Sellers render consummation of the transaction contemplated under this Agreement impossible by conveying any of the Assets to a third party then Purchaser may seek any and all actual damages available to Purchaser, without effect being given to any limitations on Purchaser’s recovery or remedies as may be set forth herein.

46


 

10.2    Purchaser’s Default. If, at any time prior to Closing, Purchaser fails to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement, the US Companion Contract or the Share Purchase Agreement, which breach or default is not caused by a Sellers’ Default and no material Sellers’ Default has occurred which remains uncured (a “Purchaser’s Default”), and Purchaser fails to cure such Purchaser’s Default within ten (10) Business Days of receiving Notice from Sellers of same (except for a failure to make a Purchaser’s Closing Delivery, for which there shall be no right to Notice or a cure period), then Sellers may elect, as their sole and exclusive remedy, to: (a) terminate this Agreement by providing Notice to Purchaser, retain the Deposit, and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except those rights and obligations which expressly survive such termination; or (b) waive such default, covenant, or obligations and proceed to Closing pursuant to this Agreement.
10.3    No Punitive or Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Party shall be liable to any other Party under this ARTICLE X or ARTICLE XII hereof for punitive, special, lost profits, or other consequential damages.
10.4    Joint and Several Liability. Subject to Section 5.1, the individual entities that comprise the Sellers and the US Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for all duties, obligations, and claims against Sellers and the US Parties, and Purchaser may seek to enforce this Agreement and all such duties, obligations, and claims against all such entities that comprise Sellers and the US Parties, some of the entities that comprise Sellers and the US Parties, or only one entity that is part of Sellers or the US Parties, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion.
10.5    Protection of Trustee. Notwithstanding anything express or implied in this Agreement to the contrary, the maximum liability of the Trustee under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any liability for interest, costs, expenses and/or any other sums recoverable under this Agreement) shall not exceed the value of the property held in the Trust from time to time and which is in the Trustee’s possession or under its control as trustee of the Trust, PROVIDED THAT the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any breach of trust by, or fraudulent or criminal acts of, the Trustee.
ARTICLE XI
    
RISK OF LOSS
11.1    Casualty. If, at any time after the Effective Date and prior to Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, there is material damage or destruction by fire or any other casualty to (i) ten percent (10%) or more of the aggregate gross floor area of all Condominium Units at a Resort Property, (ii) twenty percent (20%) or more of the aggregate gross floor area of all Condominium Units at the Resort Properties, or (iii) such damage would allow one or more tenants under Tenant Leases occupying in aggregate ten percent (10%) or more of the aggregate

47


 

floor area of the Condominium Units at a Resort Property to terminate their respective Tenant Leases (each, a “Casualty”), Sellers shall give written notice of each such Casualty to Purchaser promptly after the occurrence of such Casualty, and if such Casualty renders the applicable Condominium Units at a Resort Property incapable of being operated on an economically practicable basis immediately following the occurrence of such Casualty, Purchaser shall have the right to elect, by providing written notice to Sellers within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt of Sellers’ written notice of such Casualty, to either: (a) terminate this Agreement in its entirety; or (b) extend the Closing Date for such time as reasonably necessary for Sellers to restore such Condominium Units at a Resort Property to a substantially similar condition at which it existed immediately prior to the Casualty. In the event that Purchaser elects option (b) of the immediately preceding sentence, but Sellers do not complete the restoration of the applicable Condominium Units at a Resort Property within thirty (30) days following the Casualty, Purchaser shall have the option to exercise option (a) of the immediately preceding sentence. If Purchaser fails to provide written notice of its election to Sellers within such thirty (30) day time period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed to Closing pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 11.1. If the Closing is scheduled to occur within Purchaser’s thirty (30) day election period, the Closing Date shall, upon Purchaser’s election, be postponed until the date which is five (5) Business Days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day election period.
11.2    Expropriation. If at any time after the Effective Date and prior to Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, any Governmental Authority commences any expropriation proceeding, condemnation proceeding, or other similar proceeding with respect to (i) ten percent (10%) or more of the aggregate gross floor area of all Condominium Units at a Resort Property, (ii) ten percent (10%) or more of the aggregate gross floor area of all Condominium Units at the Resort Properties, or (iii) such proceeding would allow one or more tenants under Tenant Leases occupying in aggregate twenty percent (20%) or more of the aggregate floor area of the Condominium Units at a Resort Property to terminate their respective Tenant Leases (a “Expropriation”), Sellers shall give written notice of such Expropriation to Purchaser promptly after Sellers receive notice of such Expropriation, and if such Expropriation renders the applicable Condominium Units at a Resort Property incapable of being operated in an economically practicable basis immediately following the occurrence of such Expropriation, then Purchaser shall have the right to elect, by providing written notice to Sellers within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt of Sellers’ written notice of such Expropriation, to either: (a) terminate this Agreement in its entirety; or (b) proceed to Closing, without terminating this Agreement, in which case Sellers shall assign to Purchaser all of any Sellers’ right, title, and interest in all proceeds and awards from such Expropriation. If Purchaser fails to provide written notice of its election to Sellers within such time period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed to Closing pursuant to clause (b) of the preceding sentence. If the Closing is scheduled to occur within Purchaser’s thirty (30) day election period, the Closing shall, upon

48


 

Purchaser’s election, be postponed until the date which is five (5) Business Days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day election period.
11.3    Damage Not in Excess of Threshold. If the damage with respect to a Casualty or the Expropriation encompasses less than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate floor area of the Blue Mountain Condominium Units at the Blue Mountain Resort Property or twenty percent (20%) or more of the aggregate gross floor area of all Condominium Units at the Resort Properties (and provided no tenant under the Tenant Leases has the right to terminate its Tenant Lease as a result of such Casualty or Expropriation proceeding), Purchaser shall proceed to Closing and take the Blue Mountain Resort Property as diminished by such events, and Sellers shall assign to Purchaser their rights to receive insurance proceeds (provided that Purchaser shall receive a credit equal to the amount of the applicable Seller’s Deductible) or the award for the Expropriation.
ARTICLE XII
    
SURVIVAL, INDEMNIFICATION, AND RELEASE
12.1    Survival. The Parties’ obligations in respect of the representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE V hereof are updated as of the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and shall survive for a period of the earlier of: (a) six (6) months after the Closing Date and (b) December 1, 2016 (if all or substantially all of the assets of CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. have been sold) (the “Survival Period”). Each Party shall have no liability to the other Party for a breach of any representation or warranty unless Notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach shall have been given by the non-breaching Party to the breaching Party prior to the expiration of the Survival Period and an action shall have been commenced by the non-breaching Party against the breaching Party within sixty (60) days of the expiration of such Survival Period (the “Action Period”).
12.2    Indemnification by Sellers. Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE XII and any other express provision of this Agreement, Sellers shall indemnify, save, insure, pay, defend, protect, and hold harmless Purchaser’s Indemnitees from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any of Purchaser’s Indemnitee to the extent resulting from (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers in this Agreement and/or the “Seller” under the Share Purchase Agreement; and (b) any breach by Sellers, and/or any breach by the “Seller” under the Share Purchase Agreement, of any of their covenants or obligations under this Agreement and/or the Share Purchase Agreement. Such Indemnification shall survive for the Survival Period. Sellers’ aggregate liability to any and all Purchaser’s Indemnitees shall not exceed TWO PERCENT (2%) of the aggregate of the Purchase Price plus the Purchase Price under the US Companion Contract plus the Purchase price under the Share Purchase Agreement (the “Seller’s

49


 

Indemnification Cap”). Sellers shall not be liable to the Purchaser’s Indemnitees for any Indemnification Loss incurred by them hereunder until the aggregate amount of all such Indemnification Loss, plus any “Indemnification Loss” (as defined in the US Companion Contract) exceeds FIFTY THOUSAND AND/NO DOLLARS ($50,000.00) (the “Seller’s Deductible”), in which event Sellers shall be liable for all Indemnification Loss exceeding the Seller’s Deductible; provided, however, that the maximum aggregate amount of Indemnification Loss incurred by the Purchaser’s Indemnitees for which Sellers shall be liable shall be the Seller’s Indemnification Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller’s indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 12.2 shall terminate on the date the parent company CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. has sent a request to its shareholders to sell substantially all of its assets excluding the Assets (“Lifestyle Sale Event”), provided Sellers have escrowed the Escrowed Indemnification Cap Amount (as defined hereinbelow) at the time of the Lifestyle Sale Event. If the Lifestyle Sale Event occurs prior to the end of the Survival Period, Sellers shall escrow the full amount of Seller’s Indemnification Cap with the Sellers’ Solicitors, less any claims paid under this Section 12.2 (the “Escrowed Indemnification Cap Amount”). If the Lifestyle Sale Event occurred and the Survival Period has not expired, upon the occurrence of an Indemnification Loss and provided Purchaser has complied with the terms set forth in this ARTICLE XII, funds from the Escrowed Indemnification Cap Amount in the amount of the Indemnification Loss shall be disbursed to Purchaser upon written demand by Sellers and Purchaser. The Escrowed Indemnification Cap Amount shall be returned to CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. at the expiration of the Action Period, if no action has been commenced or is pending against Sellers.
12.3    Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE XII, Purchaser shall indemnify, save, insure, pay, defend, and hold harmless Seller Indemnitees from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Seller Indemnitee to the extent resulting from: (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser in this Agreement; (b) any breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement; and (c) any and all damage or loss sustained or incurred as a result of Purchaser’s due diligence activities, including any Inspections, environmental site assessments, and any other inspections, tests, or work conducted by any Person other than Sellers working with or on behalf of Purchaser or one or more of Purchaser’s Inspectors expressly excluding damages or loss that results from any environmental assessments which occurred prior to Purchaser or Purchaser’s activities as part of the Inspections and that is required to be disclosed to, reported to, or filed with a governmental agency by law. Such Indemnification shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months after the Closing Date. Purchaser’s aggregate liability to any and all Seller Indemnitees shall not exceed TWO PERCENT (2%) of the aggregate of the Purchase Price plus the Purchase Price under the Share Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Purchaser’s Indemnification Cap”). Purchaser shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnitees for any Indemnification Loss incurred by

50


 

them until the aggregate amount of all such Indemnification Loss, plus any “Indemnification Loss” (as defined in the US Companion Contract) exceeds FIFTY THOUSAND AND/NO DOLLARS ($50,000.00) (the “Purchaser’s Deductible”), in which event Purchaser shall be liable for all Indemnification Loss exceeding the Purchaser’s Deductible; provided, however, that the maximum aggregate amount of Indemnification Loss incurred by the Seller’s Indemnitees for which Purchaser shall be liable shall be Purchaser’s Indemnification Cap.
12.4    Indemnification Procedure; Notice of Indemnification Claim.
12.4.1
If any of the Seller Indemnitees or the Purchaser’s Indemnitees (as the case may be) (each, an “Indemnitee”) is entitled to defense or indemnification under any other provision in this Agreement (each, an “Indemnification Claim”), the Party required to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee (the “Indemnitor”) shall not be obligated to defend, indemnify, save, insure, pay, defend, protect or hold harmless such Indemnitee until such Indemnitee provides Notice to such Indemnitor after such Indemnitee has actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances on which such Indemnification Claim is based or a Third-Party Claim is made on which such Indemnification Claim is based, describing in reasonable detail such facts and circumstances or Third-Party Claim with respect to such Indemnification Claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnitee in notifying any Indemnitor shall relieve the Indemnitor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnitor thereby is prejudiced.
12.4.2
Any Indemnitor will have the right to defend the Indemnitee, at Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense, against the Third Party Claim with counsel of Indemnitor’s choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee so long as: (a) the Indemnitor provides Notice to the Indemnitee within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnitee has given Notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnitor will indemnify the Indemnitee from and against the entirety of any Indemnification Loss the Indemnitee may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim and costs related to the defense of the Third Party Claim; (b) the Indemnitor provides the Indemnitee with evidence acceptable to the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder; (c) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief; (d) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnitee, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to

51


 

the continuing business interests of the Indemnitee; and (e) the Indemnitor conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.
12.4.3
So long as the Indemnitor is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 12.4.2 above: (a) the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at Indemnitee’s sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim; (b) the Indemnitee will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor; and (c) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee.
12.4.4
In the event any of the conditions in Section 12.4.2 hereof is or becomes unsatisfied, however: (a) the Indemnitee may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnitee need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnitor in connection therewith); (b) the Indemnitor will reimburse the Indemnitee promptly and periodically for the reasonable costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses); and (c) the Indemnitor will remain responsible for any Indemnification Loss the Indemnitee may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this ARTICLE XII.
12.5    Exclusive Remedy for Indemnification Loss; Interpretation. Except for claims based on fraud, the indemnification provisions in this ARTICLE XII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnitee with respect to any claim for Indemnification Loss arising from or in connection with this Agreement. The Parties shall take into account the time cost of money (using the prime rate as reported from time to time in The Wall Street Journal as the discount rate) in determining Indemnification Loss for purposes of this ARTICLE XII.
12.6    Waiver and Release. Except as to any right or remedy of Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement and/or the Seller Closing Deliveries, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its agents, heirs, successors and assigns waives, releases, acquits and forever discharges Sellers and their Affiliates, owners, officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, and representatives, of and from any and all claims whatsoever, direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen (including but not limited to claims for cost recovery or contribution under Environmental Laws), which such Person or any of such Person’s heirs, successors, or assigns now has or which may arise in the future on account of or in any way related to or in connection with any past, present or future aspect, feature, characteristic, circumstance or condition relating

52


 

to, arising out of or in connection with any of the Property. The foregoing waiver and release shall apply to any and all such claims which in whole or in part are caused by or arise out of the negligence of any Seller and/or any strict liability; provided, however, that such waiver and release shall not apply to any claims to the extent such claims, in whole or in part, are caused by or arise out of the gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud of any Seller.
ARTICLE XIII

13.1.2
Receipt of Notices. All Notices sent by a Party (or its counsel) pursuant to Section 13.1.1 under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been received by the Party to whom such Notice is sent upon (a) delivery to the address of the recipient Party, provided that such delivery is made prior to 5:00 p.m. (local time for the recipient Party) on a Business Day, otherwise the following Business Day, or (b) the attempted delivery of such Notice if (i) such recipient Party refuses delivery of such Notice, or (ii) such recipient Party is no longer at such address, and such recipient Party failed to provide the sending Party with its current address pursuant to Section 13.1.3 hereof.
13.1.3
Change of Address. The Parties and their respective counsel shall have the right to change their respective address for the purposes of this Section 13.1 by providing a Notice of such change in address as required under this Section 13.1.
13.1.4
Delivery by Party’s Counsel. The Parties agree that the attorney for such Party shall have the authority to deliver Notices on such Party’s behalf to the other Party hereto.
13.2    Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the time period for the performance of any covenant or obligation, or satisfaction of any condition or delivery of any Notice or item required under this Agreement shall expire on a day other than a Business Day, such time period shall be extended automatically to the next Business Day.
13.3    Assignment.
13.3.5
Assignment by Purchaser. Purchaser shall not assign this Agreement or any interest therein to any Person without the prior written consent of Sellers, which consent may be granted or withheld in Sellers’ sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the right to assign all of its rights under this Agreement to, or direct the Sellers that title to the Assets (or some of them) be transferred to, one or more Affiliates after Notice to Sellers, but in which case such assignment shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 13.3.1, the sale of a Controlling

55


 

interest in Purchaser (or any Person with Control of Purchaser) shall constitute an assignment of this Agreement.
13.3.6
Assignment by Sellers. Sellers shall have the right, in their sole and absolute discretion, to assign this Agreement and all of their interests therein in connection with a sale of the Assets to a prospective acquiror if, and to the extent that, such acquiror assumes all of Sellers’ rights and obligations under this Agreement (a “Sellers’ Assignment”). The sale of a Controlling Interest in Sellers or in any Person with Control of Sellers shall not constitute an assignment of this Agreement. In connection with any prospective Sellers’ Assignment or the sale of a Controlling Interest in Sellers or any Person with Control of Sellers, and subject to the express provisions of this Agreement, Sellers may provide such information concerning this Agreement, the Assets, and the Purchaser as a prospective acquiror shall require in order to evaluate this Agreement, as well as to evaluate the Assets in the event that this Agreement expires or is otherwise terminated prior to Closing pursuant to the terms and provisions set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prospective acquiror shall have the same obligations of Sellers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
13.4    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
13.5    Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies on any Person other than: (a) the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; (b) any Indemnitee, to the extent such Indemnitee is expressly provided any right of defense or indemnification in this Agreement; and (c) Managers, to the extent Managers are expressly provided any right of indemnification in this Agreement.
13.6    Rules of Construction. The following rules shall apply to the construction and interpretation of this Agreement:
13.6.1
Singular words shall connote the plural as well as the singular, and plural words shall connote the singular as well as the plural, and the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter, as the context may require.
13.6.2
All references in this Agreement to particular articles, sections, subsections or clauses (whether in upper or lower case) are references to articles, sections, subsections or clauses of this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to particular exhibits or schedules (whether in upper or lower case) are references to the exhibits and schedules attached to this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly stated or clearly apparent from the context of such reference.

56


 

13.6.3
The headings in this Agreement are solely for convenience of reference and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement nor shall they affect its meaning, construction, or effect.
13.6.4
Each Party and its counsel have reviewed and revised (or requested revisions of) this Agreement and have participated in the preparation of this Agreement; therefore, any rules of construction requiring that ambiguities are to be resolved against the Party which drafted the Agreement or any exhibits hereto shall not be applicable in the construction and interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits hereto.
13.6.5
The terms “sole discretion” and “absolute discretion” with respect to any determination to be made a Party under this Agreement shall mean the sole and absolute discretion of such Party, without regard to any standard of reasonableness or other standard by which the determination of such Party might be challenged.
13.7    Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be or rendered invalid or unenforceable at any time in any jurisdiction, such term or provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, or the validity or enforceability of such affected term or provision at any other time or in any other jurisdiction.
13.8    Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario. The venue for any legal or equitable action brought under this agreement shall be Toronto, Ontario. The Parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of Ontario in connection with any claims or controversy arising out of this Agreement and that venue for such actions shall be in Toronto, Ontario. Each Party (for themselves and all its respective Indemnitees) hereby submit to jurisdiction and consent to venue in such courts, and waive any defense based on forum non conveniens, provided that any Party may seek injunctive relief or specific performance with respect to any of the Assets in the courts of the Province in which such Assets are situated and may incorporate a claim against Sellers of such or Asset with respect to any claim for injunctive relief or specific performance.
13.9    Waiver of Trial by Jury. The Parties hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waive any right that any party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation based hereon, or arising out of, under or in connection with this agreement or any other documents executed in connection herewith, or in respect of any course of conduct, statements (whether oral or written), or actions of any party. This provision is a material inducement for each of the Parties to enter into this Agreement.

57

If any litigation or other court action, arbitration, or similar adjudicatory proceeding is commenced by any Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement against any other Party, all fees, costs, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, incurred by the Prevailing Party in such litigation, action, arbitration, or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing Party; provided, however, that if a Party to such litigation, action, arbitration, or proceeding prevails in part, and loses in part, the court, arbitrator, or other adjudicator presiding over such litigation, action, arbitration, or proceeding shall award a reimbursement of the fees, costs, and expenses incurred by such Party on an equitable basis. “Prevailing Party” within the meaning of this Section also includes a party who dismisses an action for recovery hereunder in exchange for payment of the amount allegedly due, performance of covenants allegedly breached, or considerations substantially equal to the relief sought in the action or proceeding.
13.11    Incorporation of Recitals, Exhibits and Schedules.

Any matter disclosed in any schedule to this Agreement shall be deemed to be incorporated in all other schedules to this Agreement.
13.12    Liability of Interest-Holders in Sellers and their Affiliates. Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that none of the members, partners, shareholders, or other holders of beneficial interests of or in Sellers or any of Sellers’ Affiliates shall be personally liable for any obligation or responsibility of Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates hereunder by virtue of being a member, partner, shareholder, or holder of any beneficial interest of or in Sellers or any of Sellers’ Affiliates.

Purchaser recognizes and acknowledges that Sellers are independent entities, to whom Purchaser will solely look and who are solely responsible for the obligations and liabilities of Sellers recited herein, arising hereunder, or in any manner related to the transactions contemplated hereby.

13.14    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the US Companion Contract, and the Share Purchase Agreement and the agreements to be executed and delivered in connection herewith (as expressly set forth herein) set forth the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties hereto and shall supersede any other agreements and understandings (written or oral) between the Parties on or prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to the transactions described in this Agreement.
