11

No Property is a mobile home, manufactured home, modular home, condotel unit, individual condominium unit in a condominium project or a townhouse. Each Property may be leased to third parties without violating applicable laws or any agreements encumbering or otherwise applicable to such Property.

(c) Property Undamaged. No Property is damaged by water, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty (causing damages thereto in excess of any insurance coverage therefor less any deductible) so as to materially and adversely affect the value of such Property or the use of such Property as a residential dwelling.

(d) No Violations of Laws. To Seller’s knowledge, except as would not have a material adverse effect on the Properties, each Property is in compliance in all respects with all applicable laws, including without limitation zoning, subdivision and land use laws, regulations and ordinances, all applicable health, fire, and building codes, and all Environmental Laws. To Seller’s knowledge, no legal proceedings are pending or threatened with respect to the zoning of any Property.

All real estate and sales taxes and assessments, and other material charges (including, without limitation, homeowner association dues) with respect to each Property that are due and payable have been paid when due and payable, other than those that the applicable Waypoint Property Owner is disputing in good faith and that would not have a material adverse effect on such Property or the value thereof (and each such charge being so contested in good faith that is in excess of $10,000 is listed on Schedule 5.3(f)) of the Disclosure Letter. Except as disclosed in any Title Policy, there is not presently pending (and to Seller’s knowledge there is not contemplated) any special assessment against any Property or any part thereof. Except as disclosed in any Title Policy, no tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes.

(g) No Defaults under Agreements. To Seller’s knowledge, no Waypoint Property Owner is in material default under, nor has any Waypoint Property Owner received any notice that any event has occurred that with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a material default by Waypoint Property Owner under, and, to Seller’s knowledge, no applicable counterparty is in material default under, any contract, transaction, agreement, covenant, condition, restriction, Lease (as defined below), easement, encumbrance or instrument pertaining to any Property.

 

12

Any security deposits previously paid by any Tenant under any Lease (except to extent properly applied by the applicable Waypoint Property Owner pursuant to the terms of such Lease and applicable law) are held on behalf of such Tenant in accordance with applicable law and accounted for in the books and records of the applicable Waypoint Property Owner. Seller has previously delivered to Buyers true, correct and complete copies of each Lease. As used herein, “Lease” means any lease, sublease, rental or tenancy agreement encumbering any Property, and “Tenant” means any tenant, subtenant, or other occupant of any Property under any Lease.

Each such Title Policy is in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under any such Title Policy, and neither Seller nor any Waypoint Company nor Fund XI has done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage under any such Title Policy.

13


(c) Noncontravention.

(i) Neither the execution and the delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will (A) violate any constitution, statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge, or other restriction of any government, governmental agency, or court to which such Buyer is subject or any provision of the certificate of formation or organizational document of such Buyer or (B) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, or require any notice under any agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument, or other arrangement to which such Buyer is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its assets is subject (or result in the imposition of any lien upon any of its assets).

Except as expressly provided in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 of this Agreement, the parties disclaim any express or implied representation or warranty of any kind, including without limitation, any warranty of habitability, merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose concerning any of the Properties, the presence or absence of conditions on the Properties that could give rise to a claim for personal injury, property or natural resource damages, the income or expense from or of the Properties, the condition of the fixtures, structures, and all other personal property and equipment, or the condition of any of the aforementioned. Buyers acknowledge their opportunity to inspect the Waypoint Property Owners and their assets for defects.

14


all matters determined by Buyers necessary or appropriate in order to determine that the Waypoint Property Owners are suitable for Buyers’ intended use. BUYERS, WITH BUYERS’ COUNSEL, HAVE FULLY REVIEWED THE DISCLAIMERS AND WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE AND EFFECT THEREOF. BUYERS ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE DISCLAIMERS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH HEREIN ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT SELLER WOULD NOT HAVE AGREED TO SELL THE INTERESTS TO BUYERS FOR THE PURCHASE PRICE SET FORTH HEREIN WITHOUT THE DISCLAIMERS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. The provisions of this Section 5.5 shall survive the Closing.

ARTICLE VI.

Covenants

6.1 Tax Matters

(a) Each of Buyers, the Waypoint Companies, Fund XI, and the Investors agree that the sale and purchase of the Interests pursuant to this Agreement is an asset sale by Fund XI of the Properties for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any withholding obligations with respect to an Investor’s interests in Fund XI, including any distributions made with respect thereto (which distributions include proceeds arising as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), shall be the sole responsibility of Fund XI and such Investors, and Buyers shall not have any liability or responsibility for such obligations as result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyers, the Waypoint Companies, Fund XI and Investors agree to file all Fund XI Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the foregoing, and not take any inconsistent position, whether in any Tax Return, audit, examination, claim, adjustment litigation or other proceeding with respect to a Tax, unless required to do so by applicable law.

(b) Fund XI, Seller, and the Investors shall be liable for and pay, and pursuant to Section 7.1, shall jointly and severally, in the case of Fund XI and Seller, and severally, not jointly, in the case of Investors, indemnify and save and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any Damages incurred or suffered by such Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or relating or incident to, any Taxes imposed on any Waypoint Company or Fund XI, or for which any Waypoint Company or Fund XI may otherwise be liable, for any taxable year or period that ends on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to any taxable year or period beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date (each, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, including any Taxes imposed pursuant to any bulk sale statute, or otherwise, of any state or local jurisdiction, but excluding (i) any Transfer Taxes (which Buyers are responsible for under Section 2.1), (ii) any Taxes shown on the Closing Statements and taken into account as a reduction to the Purchase Price pursuant to Sections 4.2(b)(i) and Section 6.2 and (iii) any Taxes to the extent Seller made a payment to a Buyer for such Taxes pursuant to Section 6.2(b). For the avoidance of doubt, such obligations of Fund XI, Seller and the Investors with respect to such Damages for Taxes shall not be subject to the limitations on indemnification set forth in Article VII. For such purposes, whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of a Waypoint Company or Fund XI for a Straddle Period, the determination of the Taxes

 

15


of such Waypoint Company or Fund XI for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two taxable years or periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit of such Waypoint Company or Fund XI for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of the Waypoint Company or Fund XI (as applicable) were closed at the close of the Closing Date, provided, however, that without limiting Section 6.2(a), exemptions, allowances, deductions or Taxes that are calculated on an annual basis, such as property Taxes and depreciation deductions, shall be apportioned between such two taxable years or periods on a daily basis.

(c) Seller, Fund XI and Investors shall, at their own expense, timely prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed when due (including any extensions) all income Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to any Waypoint Company or Fund XI for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, whether or not such returns are to be filed after the Closing Date, and Seller, Fund XI and the Investors shall make or cause to be made all payments required with respect to any such Tax Returns. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, all Tax Returns that Seller, Fund XI and Investors (on behalf of the Waypoint Companies or Fund XI) are required to file or cause to be filed shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with past practice and, on such Tax Returns, no position shall be taken, election made or method adopted that is inconsistent with positions taken, elections made or methods used in preparing and filing similar Tax Returns in prior periods (including positions, elections or methods that would have the effect of deferring income to periods ending after the Closing Date or accelerating deductions to periods ending on or before the Closing Date). Seller shall submit such Tax Returns to Buyers for review and comment at least 30 days prior to the filing and due date of such Tax Return (including any extensions), and Seller shall in its reasonable discretion revise such Tax Returns to reflect any reasonable comments made by Buyers prior to the filing of such Tax Return. Buyers shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed when due (including any extensions) all other Tax Returns with respect to the Waypoint Property Owners or the Properties, and shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns; provided, however, that Seller, Fund XI and the Investors shall reimburse Buyers for any Taxes for which Indemnifying Parties are liable pursuant to Sections 6.1(b) and 7.1, and shall promptly pay to Buyers upon request, and in any event, no later than 10 days prior to the due date of such Tax Return, the amount of such Taxes for which Indemnifying Parties are liable pursuant to Sections 6.1(b) and 7.1. For the avoidance of doubt, such reimbursement obligations shall not be subject to the limitations on indemnification set forth in Article VII. Buyers shall provide for Seller’s review and comment at least 30 days prior to the filing and due date of such Tax Return (including any extensions), any non-income Tax Returns with respect to the Waypoint Property Owners or the Properties which are filed after the Closing Date to the extent such Tax Returns relate to a period beginning prior to the Closing Date, and Buyers shall in their reasonable discretion incorporate any reasonable comments thereon from Seller to the extent such comments relate to a period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date.

 

16


(d) Seller shall have the right, at its own expense, to control any Tax audits, initiate any claim for refund, and contest, resolve and defend against any assessment, notice of deficiency, or adjustment or proposed adjustment relating to Taxes with respect to the Waypoint Property Owners or the Properties which relate to taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, and Buyers shall have the right to participate in such proceedings at their own expense; provided that Seller shall not file any amended Tax Return without the consent of Buyers, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided further that Seller shall not pay, discharge, settle, compromise, litigate or otherwise dispose of any item subject to any Tax audit or other proceeding that could give rise to Taxes for which an Indemnified Party is liable or in a manner that will adversely affect an Indemnified Party (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the Waypoint Property Owners following the Closing) without obtaining the prior written consent of Buyers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any proceeding with respect to which Seller does not assume control may be settled or compromised in the discretion of Buyers, and any such settlement or compromise shall not affect an Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification under this Agreement.

(e) Buyers shall have the right, at their own expense, to control any other Tax audit, initiate any other claim for refund, and contest, resolve and defend against any other assessment, notice of deficiency, or other adjustment or proposed adjustment relating to Taxes with respect to the Waypoint Property Owners or the Properties; provided that, if an issue arises with respect to (i) any Taxes for any Straddle Period or (ii) any item the adjustment of which may cause an Indemnifying Party to become obligated to make any payment pursuant to Sections 6.1(b) and 7.1, then Buyers shall afford Seller the opportunity to participate in such proceedings at its own expense, and Buyers shall not settle any such issue, or file any amended Tax Return relating to such issue, without the consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Nothing herein shall be construed to impose on Buyers any obligation to defend the Waypoint Companies or Fund XI in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding.

(f) After the date hereof, Buyers, the Waypoint Companies, Fund XI, and Investors shall provide each other with such cooperation and information relating to the Waypoint Companies or Fund XI as the parties reasonably may request in (i) filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for Tax refund, (ii) determining any liability for Taxes or a right to a Tax refund, (iii) conducting or defending any proceeding in respect of Taxes or (iv) effectuating the terms of this Agreement. The Investors, Buyers, Fund XI and the Waypoint Companies shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, and all material records and other material documents relating thereto, until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by any party, any extensions thereof) of the taxable years to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate and until the final determination of any Tax in respect of such years. Any information obtained under this Section 6.1(f) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return, or claim for Tax refund, determining any liability for Taxes or right to a Tax refund, or in conducting or defending any proceedings in respect of Taxes.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 6.1 shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation (taking into account extensions thereof), and shall not be subject to the limitations on indemnification set forth in Article VII.

If any Closing Statement reflects prorations calculated based on an incorrect Closing Proration Time, then either at Closing or upon reproration after Closing, Buyers and Seller shall reprorate as of the correct Closing Proration Time.

(a) If tax or assessment bills for the applicable tax year in which the Closing occurs are not available on the Closing Date, taxes or assessments, as applicable, shall be prorated at Closing based upon the tax and assessment bills for the previous tax year, or, if available, based upon the current assessed valuation and current millage rates; in such event Seller and Buyers shall reprorate the taxes and assessments as actual or final tax and assessment bills for the tax year in which the Closing occurs are available.

(b) If the actual amounts of any proration or credit items are unavailable as of the Closing Date, then except as provided in Section 6.2(c) below, such proration or credit shall be made on the basis of an amount reasonably estimated by Buyers and Seller at Closing and Buyers and Seller shall thereupon reasonably reprorate or re-credit, as the case may be, such items (i) on the 90th day following the Closing Date if and to the extent the exact amounts for such proration or credit items become available, and (ii) again within one (1) year after the Closing Date or upon such earlier date as the exact amounts for such proration or credit items become available; provided that the proration items shown on the Closing Statements for entity level income and gross receipts Taxes imposed on the Waypoint Property Owners for the portion of the 2014 taxable year that ends on the Closing Date shall be reprorated, to the extent necessary, within 15 days after the Buyers’ filing of the 2014 Tax returns for the applicable Waypoint Property Owners. All amounts due to any Buyer as a result of any reproration or re-credit shall be paid promptly in cash to such Buyer by Seller.

19


(c) Each Releasing Party having reviewed this Section 6.4, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby voluntarily waives and releases any rights the undersigned may have under this provision, or under any statutory or non-statutory law of similar effect, and fully and generally releases all Liability for unknown or unsuspected claims set forth in the foregoing release.

ARTICLE VII.

Indemnification and Liquidity Covenant

7.1 General Indemnification by Seller.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, each Investor (all Investors collectively are referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall, severally, and not jointly, save and hold Buyers and their affiliates (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Investor) and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, successors, transferees and assignees, and respective representatives (each, an “Indemnified Party”), harmless from and against any and all costs, out-of-pocket losses, charges, liabilities, Taxes, obligations, actual damages, lawsuits, actions, judgments, deficiencies, demands, fees, claims, settlements (subject to Section 7.1(c)) and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, attorneys’ fees and expenses, all amounts paid in the investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing and costs of enforcing this indemnity (collectively, “Damages”), incurred or suffered in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or relating or incident to (x) any untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of, or other breach of, any covenant, representation or warranty of Fund XI, Seller or such Investor set forth herein or (y) Taxes for which Seller and Fund XI have indemnified the Indemnified Parties in accordance with Section 6.1. For the avoidance of doubt no Investor shall be liable for any Damages in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or relating or incident to any breach by any other Investor of any representation or warranty under Section 5.1; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no event limit the obligation of any Investor to pay Damages in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or relating or incident to any breach under this Agreement by such Investor (including without limitation under Section 5.1) and, subject to the terms of this Article VII, each Investor shall be liable for any Damages in connection with arising out of, resulting from or relating or incident to any breach of any representation or warranty under Section 5.2 or 5.3 or any other breach by Seller or Fund XI hereunder, including without limitation if the applicable obligation breached by Seller or Fund XI is also an obligation of any other Investor and is also breached by such other Investor.

(b) The claims for indemnity by any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 7.1 are referred to as “Indemnity Claims” and each an “Indemnity Claim”. The indemnity provided for in this Section 7.1 is not limited to Third-Party Claims (as defined in Section 7.1(c)) against any Indemnified Party, but includes Indemnity Claims incurred or sustained by any Indemnified Party in the absence of Third-Party Claims.

 

20


(c) Defense of Claims. If an Indemnity Claim is made, Buyers shall give written notice (a Claim Notice”) to the Investors as soon as practicable after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 7.1. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except and only to the extent that, an Indemnifying Party demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. In the case of an Indemnity Claim involving the assertion of a claim by a third party (whether pursuant to a lawsuit or other legal action or otherwise, a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Parties shall be entitled to take control of the defense and investigation of such Third-Party Claim and to pursue the defense thereof in good faith by appropriate actions or proceedings promptly taken or instituted and diligently pursued, including, without limitation, to employ and engage attorneys of their own choice reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to handle and defend the same, and to compromise or settle such Indemnity Claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event the Indemnifying Parties elect to assume control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or other legal action in accordance with this Section 7.1(c), the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost and expense, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Parties fail to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 7.1(c) within 5 business days after receipt of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party against which such Third-Party Claim has been asserted shall (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Investors) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise and settlement of such Third-Party Claim on behalf of and for the account of the Indemnifying Parties; provided that such Third-Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall be binding upon all of the Indemnifying Parties. The expenses of all proceedings, contests or lawsuits in respect of such Indemnity Claims (other than as specifically stated to the contrary herein) shall be borne jointly and severally by the Indemnifying Parties. Regardless of which party shall assume the defense of the claim, the parties agree to cooperate fully with one another in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include the providing of records and information which are relevant to such Third Party Claim and making employees and officers available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder and to act as a witness or respond to legal process. In the case of an Indemnity Claim for indemnification, if (and to the extent) the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement, then within ten (10) days after the occurrence of a final non-appealable determination with respect to such Indemnity Claim, the Indemnifying Parties shall pay an amount in cash equal to any Damages to the Indemnified Party. To the extent of any inconsistency between this Section 7.1(c) and Section 6.1 (Tax Matters), Section 6.1 shall control.

7.2 Termination. The indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Parties under Section 7.1 shall terminate as of the twelve month anniversary of the Closing Date, except with regard to (a) any Indemnity Claim made in good faith with respect to which a Claim Notice has been delivered before such date, and (b) Indemnity Claims or obligations described in Sections 7.3(a)(ii), 7.3(a)(iii), and 7.3(a)(iv), which Indemnity Claims shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation (taking into account extensions thereof)).

7.3 Limitations on Indemnity.

(a) Subject to the next sentence, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Parties for or arising out of Indemnity Claims shall not exceed, and the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to be indemnified for Damages to the extent the aggregate amount of such Damages exceed, 10% of the Purchase Price (the “Indemnification Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Indemnification Cap shall not limit the amount of Damages that the Indemnified Parties may recover in connection with Indemnity Claims that are based upon or arise out of;

(i) the fraud or willful misconduct of the Indemnifying Parties;

(ii) a breach of the representations and warranties regarding Investors’ ownership of Fund XI, Fund XI’s ownership of Seller, Seller’s ownership of the Interests, or the Waypoint Property Owners ownership of each Property (including without limitation as contained in Sections 5.1(b), 5.2(b), 5.2(h), 5.2(j) and 5.3(a)), or the Investors’, Fund XI’s or Seller’s authority to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iii) Third Party Claims to the extent of available insurance proceeds; and

(iv) Obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 6.1 (including without limitation Section 6.1(b)) and for any breaches of representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.2(d).

Furthermore, Damages recovered by the Indemnified Parties in connection with or arising out of the circumstances described in the foregoing (i) through (iv) shall not be counted in determining the amount of Damages that will be subject to the Indemnification Cap.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary (except for Section 6.1), the Indemnifying Parties shall not be responsible for, and the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to be indemnified for Damages for, any Indemnity Claim until the aggregate Damages under such Indemnity Claim and other Indemnity Claims exceeds $1,250,000 (the “Aggregate Indemnity Threshold”). For the avoidance of doubt, at the point at which the Damages under any single Indemnity Claim or collection of Indemnity Claims exceeds the Aggregate Indemnity Threshold, the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Indemnity Claims regardless of whether the Damages under any single Indemnity Claim is equal to or less than the Aggregate Indemnity Threshold.

 

22


(c) Under no circumstance shall an Investor’s liability for Damages under any Indemnity Claim exceed such Investor’s pro rata portion of such Damages, based on the percentages set forth on Exhibit A hereto, other than, subject to Section 7.1(a), with respect to liability for Damages incurred or suffered in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or relating or incident to any breach under this Agreement by such Investor, for which the parties agree that only the Investor who committed such breach shall be liable (and that such liability shall not be subject to the pro rata portion limitation of this sentence). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Parties agree that any Damages that are based upon or arise out of the circumstances described in Section 7.3(a)(i) shall be paid, up to its portion of the Purchase Price, by Waypoint Real Estate Group, LLC, with any Damages remaining thereafter under such claims, paid pursuant to the preceding sentence.

7.4 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payment (a) . For all Tax purposes, any indemnification payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

7.5 Liquid Assets (a) . Each Investor severally agrees with Buyers to maintain Liquid Assets not less than such Investor’s applicable Minimum Liquid Asset Amount until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that if there is any indemnity claim made by any Buyer in writing pursuant to this Article VII, Section 6.1 or Section 8.2 prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date against such Investor under this Agreement, then such Investor shall maintain such Investor’s applicable Minimum Liquid Asset Amount until such time as such claim is finally resolved and settlement reached and/or judgment rendered and, if applicable, all amounts owed by such Investor in respect of such claim are paid in full. As used herein, (a) “Liquid Assets” means unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and readily marketable securities (valued, in the case of securities at the then prevailing market price listed on NYSE or NASDAQ, as of any applicable date of determination) or such other assets or properties as Buyers may (in their sole discretion) deem acceptable as evidenced by Buyers’ written confirmation, and (b) the “Minimum Liquid Asset Amount” for each Investor is set forth on Schedule 7.5 of the Disclosure Letter.

8.3 Confidentiality. Buyers and their representatives shall hold in confidence all data and information obtained with respect to the Investors, Seller, the Waypoint Property Owners or their businesses in connection with this transaction, whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement (collectively, the “Seller Information), and shall not disclose the same to others (except with respect to the Waypoint Property Owners following the Closing) and the Investors shall and shall cause Seller and Fund XI to hold in confidence all data and information obtained with respect to Buyers or their businesses in connection with this transaction, whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement (collectively, the “Buyer Information); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prevent the Investors, Fund XI or Seller, on the one hand (collectively, “Waypoint Parties) or Buyers, on the other hand (Waypoint Parties and Buyers are each referred to herein as a “Disclosing Party) from (a) disclosing Seller Information or Buyer Information (as applicable) as needed to its members, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, beneficiaries, trustees, agents, representatives, attorneys, and accountants directly in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein (provided such Disclosing Party agrees to keep all such Seller Information or Buyer Information (as applicable) confidential under the same terms applicable to such Disclosing Party in this Section 8.3); (b) making (without the consent of, but upon notice to, the other Disclosing Party) any disclosure required by any applicable law or regulation or judicial process, (c) disclosing any Seller Information or Buyer Information (as applicable) generally available to the public except by reason of such Disclosing Party’s breach (or, in the case of a breach by the Investors, Fund XI, or Seller, the breach of any of the other Waypoint Parties) of this Agreement, (d) disclosing Seller Information or Buyer Information (as applicable) as required in connection with any enforcement of this Agreement or any of the other Closing documents, or (e) making any required disclosures in recorded documents, filed certificates and similar documents in connection with the Closing. If this Agreement is terminated or Buyers fail to perform hereunder, Buyers shall promptly return to the Investors any statements, documents, schedules, exhibits or other written information obtained from the Investors in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated herein and shall promptly deliver to the Investors any other information, data, financial statements, tests, studies, documents and other items relating to the Waypoint Property Owners in Buyers’ possession or control at no cost to the Investors. If this Agreement is terminated or any Investor or Seller fails to perform hereunder, such party shall promptly return to Buyers any statements, documents, schedules, exhibits or other written information obtained from Buyers in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated herein and shall promptly deliver to Buyers any other information, data, financial statements, tests, studies, documents and other items relating to Buyers in such party’s possession or control at no cost to Buyers. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by any of the Waypoint Parties, on the one hand, or Buyers, on the other hand, or any of their respective agents or representatives of this Section 8.3, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the breaching party or its agents or representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part, such confidential information. For the avoidance of doubt, the Waypoint Parties are collectively referred to as a “party” for the purposes of this Section 8.3. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the non-breaching party from pursuing any other available remedy at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach. The provisions of this Section 8.3 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

 

25


8.4 Public Disclosure. Prior to and after the Closing, any release to the public of information with respect to the sale contemplated herein or any matters set forth in this Agreement will be made only in the form approved by Buyers, and shall not contain the names of any of the Investors; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the disclosure of the names of any of the Investors in any public filing required by any government or regulatory authority whose supervision or oversight Buyers or any of their affiliates may be subject, or to the extent otherwise required by applicable law, any governmental or regulatory authority, or court of competent jurisdiction, in each case to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with any regulatory or legal requirements to which Buyers or their affiliates may be subject. The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

EACH OF THE INVESTORS, FUND XI, SELLER AND BUYERS ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

8.7 Assigns.

8.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the Investors, Fund XI, and Seller on the one hand, and Buyers on the other hand, concerning the sale of the Interests and supersedes all prior written or oral agreements between or among the parties hereto. No modification hereof or subsequent agreement relative to the subject matter hereof shall be binding on either party unless reduced to writing and signed by the party to be bound.

8.9 Exhibits and Schedules. The exhibits and schedules attached hereto are incorporated herein by this reference for all purposes.

8.10 Miscellaneous. The headings inserted at the beginning of each Section are inserted for convenience only and do not add to or subtract from the meaning of the contents of each section.

Pronouns, wherever used herein, and of whatever gender, shall include natural persons and corporations and associations of every kind and character, and the singular shall include the plural wherever and as often as may be appropriate. Time is of the essence of each provision of this Agreement in which time is an element.

8.11 Waiver. Any party hereto may specifically waive any breach of this Agreement by any other party, but no such waiver shall constitute a continuing waiver of similar or other breaches. A waiving party may at any time, upon notice given in writing to the breaching party, direct future compliance with the waived term or terms of this Agreement, in which event the breaching party shall comply as directed from such time forward. All remedies, rights, undertakings, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be cumulative and not mutually exclusive.

8.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement as applied to any party or to any circumstance shall be adjudged by a court to be void or unenforceable, the same shall in no way affect any other provision of this Agreement, the application of any such provision in any other circumstances or the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole.

8.13 Additional Acts. Except as otherwise provided herein, in addition to the acts contemplated to be performed, executed and delivered by the Investors, Fund XI, Seller or Buyers pursuant to this Agreement, the Investors, Fund XI, Seller and Buyers hereby agree to perform, execute and deliver or cause to be performed, executed and delivered at or following the Closing any and all further acts, deeds and assurances as Buyers or the Investors may reasonably require to (i) evidence and vest in Buyers the ownership of the Interests, and (ii) consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder.

8.14 Attorneys’ Fees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event any of the Waypoint Parties on the one hand, or Buyer on the other hand, files a lawsuit to enforce its rights under this Agreement, or any provisions contained herein, then the party that prevails in such action shall be entitled to recover, in addition to all other remedies to which it is entitled, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of court incurred in such lawsuit.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Waypoint Parties are collectively referred to as a “party” for the purposes of this Section 8.14.
