Section 8.01        Transaction Characterization.

 

(a)          The parties intend that all components of the Transaction shall be considered a single integrated transaction and shall not be severable.

 

(b)          The parties intend that the conveyance of the Property to Purchaser be an absolute conveyance in effect as well as form, and that the instruments of conveyance to be delivered at Closing shall not serve or operate as a mortgage, equitable mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, trust conveyance or financing or trust arrangement of any kind, nor as a preference or fraudulent conveyance against any creditors of Seller. After the execution and delivery of the Deed, Seller will have no legal or equitable interest or any other claim or interest in any Property. The parties also intend for the Existing Lease to be a true lease and not a transaction creating a financing lease, capital lease, equitable mortgage, mortgage, deed of trust, security interest or other financing arrangement, and the economic realities of the Existing Lease are those of a true lease. Neither party shall contest the validity, enforceability or characterization of the sale and purchase of the Property by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement as an absolute conveyance, and both parties shall support the intent expressed herein that the purchase of the Property by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement provides for an absolute conveyance and does not create a joint venture, partnership, equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or arrangement, security interest or the like, if, and to the extent that, any challenge occurs.

 

(c)          Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any Affiliate to, at any time, take any action or fail to take any action with respect to the preparation or filing of any statement or disclosure to Governmental Authority, including without limitation, any income tax return (including an amended income tax return), to the extent that such action or such failure to take action would be inconsistent with the intention of the parties expressed in this Section 8.01.

 

Section 8.02         Risk of Loss.

 

(a)          Condemnation. If, prior to Closing, action is initiated to take any of the Property, or any portion thereof, by eminent domain proceedings or by deed in lieu thereof, Seller shall giver Purchaser prompt written notice of the commencement of such action and Purchaser may elect at or prior to Closing, to:

 

(i)          terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit, in which event Seller and Purchaser shall be relieved and discharged of any further liability or obligation under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein (including without limitation, the payment of Transaction Costs and the other expenses as set forth in Section 2.05); or

 

27 

 

 

(ii)         proceed to close, in which event all of Seller’s assignable right, title and interest in and to the award of the condemning authority shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price.

 

(b)          Casualty. Seller shall give Purchaser prompt written notice of any Casualty. Seller assumes all risks and liability for damage to or injury occurring to the Property by fire, storm, accident, or any other casualty or cause until the Closing has been consummated. If the Property, or any part thereof, suffers any damage prior to the Closing from fire or other casualty, which Seller, at its sole option, do not elect to fully repair, Purchaser may elect at or prior to Closing, to:

 

(i)          terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit, in which event Seller and Purchaser shall be relieved and discharged of any further liability or obligation under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein (including without limitation, the payment of Transaction Costs and the other expenses as set forth in Section 2.05); or

 

(ii)         consummate the Closing, in which event all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage (less an amount equal to any expense and costs reasonably incurred by such Seller to repair or restore the Property, which shall be payable to such Seller upon such Seller’s delivery to Purchaser of satisfactory evidence thereof) shall be assigned to Purchaser at Closing, and Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit in the amount of Tenant’s (or Seller’s, as the case may be) deductible at Closing.

 

(c)          Maintenance of Property and Insurance. From the Effective Date until Closing, Seller shall take such reasonable and necessary action to continue to cause Tenant to (A) maintain the Property or cause the Property to be maintained in good condition and repair, all in accordance with the Existing Lease, (B) maintain all insurance for the Property in accordance with the Existing Lease, and (C) comply in all respects with all other provisions of the Existing Lease which are required to be complied with by Landlord.

 

Section 8.03       Notices. All notices, demands, designations, certificates, requests, offers, consents, approvals, appointments and other instruments given pursuant to this Agreement (collectively called “Notices”) shall be in writing and given by (a) hand delivery, (b) express overnight delivery service, (c) facsimile transmission, (d) E-Mail or (e) certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed to have been delivered upon (i) receipt, if hand delivered, (ii) the next Business Day, if delivered by a reputable express overnight delivery service, (iii) receipt of confirmation of facsimile or E-Mail transmission, if delivered by facsimile or E-Mail, or (iv) the third Business Day following the day of deposit of such notice with the United States Postal Service, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
