  13.3

Insurance. Seller shall maintain the property insurance coverage currently in effect for the Property, or comparable coverage, through the earlier of any termination of this Agreement or the applicable Closing Date.

 

  13.4

Waiver. The provisions of this Article 13 supersede the provisions of any applicable Laws with respect to the subject matter of this Article 13.

ARTICLE 14 - ESCROW PROVISIONS

The Deposit and any other sums (including, without limitation, any interest earned on such other sums) which the parties agree shall be held in escrow (herein collectively called the “Escrow Deposits”), shall be held by the Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:

 

  (a)

The Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Deposits in government insured non-interest bearing instruments reasonably satisfactory to both Buyer and Seller, shall not commingle the Escrow Deposits with any funds of the Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Buyer and Seller with confirmation of the investments made.

 

  (b)

If the HC IV Closing occurs, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to, or upon the instructions of, Seller on the HC IV Closing Date.

 

  (c)

If for any reason the HC IV Closing does not occur, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this Subsection (c). If for any reason the HC IV Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Agent for payment of the Escrow Deposits, the Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of such demand. If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within ten (10) days after the giving of such notice, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If the Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such period, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court.

 

  (d)

The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller or Buyer resulting from the Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting the Escrow Agent’s scope or nature of

 

47


 

its duties. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent.

 

  (e)

The Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that the Escrow Agent has received and shall hold the Escrow Deposits in escrow, and shall disburse the Escrow Deposits pursuant to the provisions of this Article 14.

The provisions of this Article 14 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or earlier termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 15 - MISCELLANEOUS

 

15.1

Buyer’s Assignment. Buyer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part to one or more Affiliates of Buyer without the written consent of Seller. Except as otherwise provided, Buyer shall not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder to any individual or entity without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent Seller may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, and any such assignment shall be null and void ab initio. In the event of any permitted assignment by Buyer, any assignee shall assume any and all obligations and liabilities of Buyer under this Agreement but, notwithstanding such assumption, Buyer shall continue to be liable hereunder.

 

15.2

Designation Agreement. Section 6045(e) of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (herein collectively called the “Reporting Requirements”) require an information return to be made to the United States Internal Revenue Service, and a statement to be furnished to Seller, in connection with the Transactions. Escrow Agent is either (x) the person responsible for closing the Transactions (as described in the Reporting Requirements) or (y) the disbursing title or escrow company that is most significant in terms of gross proceeds disbursed in connection with the Transactions (as described in the Reporting Requirements). Accordingly:

 

  (a)

Escrow Agent is hereby designated as the “Reporting Person” (as defined in the Reporting Requirements) for the Transactions. Escrow Agent shall perform all duties that are required by the Reporting Requirements to be performed by the Reporting Person for the Transactions.

15.3

Survival/Merger.

15.4

Integration; Waiver. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, embodies and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the Transactions and all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument. No waiver by either party hereto of any failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply.

 

15.5

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State in which the Property is located.

 

15.6
