Such mutually-agreed allocations are not established necessarily for financial or accounting purposes other than for tax accounting.

 

ARTICLE III.

Closing, Prorations and Closing Costs

 

3.1.         Closing.  The closing of the purchase and sale of the Property shall occur at 10:00 a.m. (local time at the Property) on January 14, 2015 and shall be held through escrow using a so-called “gap closing” at the offices of Stewart Title Guaranty Company (“Escrow Agent” and “Title Company”), or at such other place agreed to by Seller and Purchaser.  “Closing” shall be deemed to have occurred when both (a) the Title Company has been instructed by both parties to record the Deeds (as hereinafter defined) and (b) the Purchase Price has been delivered to Seller. Time is hereby made of the essence.  The date of Closing is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

 



 

3.2.         Prorations.

 

3.2.1.      The following shall be apportioned with respect to the Property as of the end of the Transition Period (as defined in Section 6.1.1), as if Purchaser were vested with title to the Property as of the end of the Transition Period.

 

(a)  rents, if any, as and when collected (the term “rents” as used in this Agreement includes all payments due and payable by Tenants under the Leases);

 

(b)  taxes (including personal property taxes on the Personal Property) and assessments levied against the Property;

 

(c)  payments under the Contracts;

 

(d)  gas, electricity and other utility charges for which Seller is liable, if any, such charges to be apportioned at Closing on the basis of the most recent meter reading occurring prior to Closing; and

 

(e)  any other accrued or prepaid operating expenses for the Property and, to the extent customarily prorated between a purchaser and a seller in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, any other items pertaining to the Property.

 

3.2.2.      Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions:

 

(a)  At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser any security deposits and prepaid rents (for periods on or after the end of the Transition Period) under the Leases or credit to the account of Purchaser the unapplied amount of such security deposits and prepaid rents.  All prepaid rents covering the period of time commencing on or after the end of the Transition Period shall be delivered by Seller to Purchaser on the Closing Date, or Purchaser may elect to receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of such prepaid rents.

 

(b)  Any taxes paid at or prior to Closing shall be prorated based upon the amounts actually paid.  If taxes and assessments for the current year have not been paid before Closing, Seller shall be charged at Closing an amount equal to that portion of such taxes and assessments which relates to the period before the end of the Transition Period and Purchaser shall pay the taxes and assessments prior to their becoming delinquent.  Any such apportionment made with respect to a tax year for which the tax rate or assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been fixed shall be based upon the most recent ascertainable, and shall be re-prorated post-Closing once final taxes and assessments for such period have been determined.

 

3.2.3.      Reconciliations.  If any of the amounts to be apportioned under this Section 3.2 were (a) not prorated and apportioned at the Closing due to the unavailability of the information necessary to compute such proration, (b) were prorated or apportioned at the Closing based upon estimated or incomplete information, or (c) were based on any errors or omissions in computing prorations which errors or omissions are discovered subsequent to the Closing, such apportionments shall be recalculated as soon as possible after the availability of required

 



 

information, and any overpayment or underpayment due either party shall be adjusted by suitable payment of one to the other.

 

3.2.4.      The provisions of this Section 3.2 shall survive Closing for a period of twelve (12) months, after which time all prorations shall be deemed final.

 

3.3.         Closing Costs.  Seller shall pay (a) the fees of any counsel representing Seller in connection with this transaction; and (b) all State, County and local transfer taxes and fees payable upon the transfer of the Property to Purchaser.  Purchaser shall pay (i) the fees of any counsel representing Purchaser in connection with this transaction; (ii) the cost of its title policy, including any endorsements requested by Purchaser to its title policy; and (iii) the fees for recording the deed conveying the Real Property to Purchaser.  Any other costs or expenses incident to this transaction and the closing thereof not expressly provided for above shall be allocated between and paid by the parties in accordance with Practice Standard No. 2 of the Real Estate Bar Association for Massachusetts’ Handbook of Standards and Forms.

7.2.         Post-closing Employment.  Effective as of the end of the Transition Period, Purchaser shall, or cause an affiliate of Purchaser to, make offers of employment to each Seller Employee, with such employment to be effective as of the end of the Transition Period (a “Transferring Employee”).

 

7.3.         Employee Benefits.  Purchaser shall, or cause an affiliate of Purchaser to, provide employee benefits to the Transferring Employees on terms and conditions that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the Transferring Employees than those provided to the similarly-situated employees of Purchaser or such affiliate.  Purchaser shall assume GPC’s existing 401(k) plan effective as of the end of the Transition Period. GPC shall remain responsible for, and indemnify Purchaser from, any unfunded pension liability relating to any Transferring Employee not otherwise subject to the Union Agreement (as defined below) accruing prior to the end of the Transition Period.

 

7.4.         Local 25.  Effective as of the end of the Transition Period, Purchaser shall assume all of GPC’s obligations under that certain Memorandum of Agreement effective April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2019 by and between Teamsters Local Union No. 25 and GPC (together  with the

 



 

collective bargaining agreement referenced therein and that that certain Withdrawal Agreement dated as of March 31, 2014 (with respect to that New England Teamsters and Trucking Industry Pension Fund) and that certain Reentry Agreement dated as of March 31, 2014 (with respect to that New England Teamsters and Trucking Industry Pension Fund), collectively the “Union Agreements”), including any pension fund withdrawal liabilities under the Union Agreements.

 



 

7.4.1.            General.  With respect to the Property and pursuant to the Union Agreements, Seller employs employees who are members of collective bargaining units represented by certain unions and participating in those Multiemployer Pension Plans (the “Multiemployer Pension Plans”) identified in the Union Agreements and, with respect to the members of such collective bargaining units, has an obligation to contribute to the Multiemployer Pension Plans.  Seller and Purchaser intend by the provisions that follow to comply with and utilize the sale of assets rule of Section 4204 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980 (“ERISA”).

 

7.4.2.            Nature of Transaction.  The sale of the Property reflected in this Agreement is a bona fide, arm’s length sale of assets.  Purchaser is unrelated to Seller within the meaning of Section 4204 of ERISA.

 

7.4.3.            Contribution Base Units.  From and after the end of the Transition Period, Purchaser agrees that it shall have an obligation to contribute to the Multiemployer Pension Plans with respect to the Property for substantially the same number of contribution base units as Seller had immediately prior to the sale.  Purchaser agrees that the determination of the number of contribution base units and the duration of the obligation to maintain such contribution base units necessary to satisfy Section 4204 shall be made in accordance with Section 4204 of ERISA and such rules as the respective Multiemployer Pension Plans may have adopted, or may adopt, except to the extent that Purchaser defeats the application of such rules by waiver or challenge.

 

7.4.4.            During the period commencing on the first day of the first plan year beginning after the end of the Transition Period and ending on the expiration of the fifth such plan year (the “Contribution Period”), Purchaser shall provide to each Multiemployer Pension Plan either a bond, letter of credit or an escrow in an amount and manner meeting the requirements of Section 4204 of ERISA.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this subsection 7.4.4 to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be obligated to provide any bond, letter of credit or escrow required herein in the event and to the extent Purchaser obtains from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”) or the respective Multiemployer Pension Plan a proper variance or exemption under Section 4204(c) of ERISA and the applicable regulations thereunder, provided any and all requirements of such variance or exemption are met.  Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in connection with any application for such a variance or exemption made by Purchaser to the PBGC and/or to the Multiemployer Pension Plans.  The cost of any bond, letter of credit or escrow provided under this subsection 7.4.4 shall be paid be Seller.

 

7.4.5.            From and after the first day of employment as provided in Section 7.2 hereof, until final determination, Seller authorizes Purchaser to initiate arbitration, litigation or to do any other act which Purchaser deems, in its discretion, appropriate in order to reduce or eliminate any withdrawal liability or any escrow or bonding requirement imposed by any of the Multiemployer Pension Plans which Purchaser is required to satisfy under the terms of this Section 7.4.  Seller agrees to reasonably assist Purchaser, at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser, in any proceedings commenced in accordance with this subsection 7.4.5.

 



 

7.4.6.            Attribution of Contribution History to Purchaser.  Purchaser acknowledges that any withdrawal liability of Purchaser to the Multiemployer Pension Plan shall be determined as if Purchaser had been required to contribute to the Multiemployer Pension Plan in the year in which the applicable end of the Transition Period occurs and the four preceding plan years the amount that Seller was required to contribute with respect to the Property for such five plan years.

 

7.4.7.            If Purchaser Withdraws Within Five Years.  If Purchaser withdraws from the Multiemployer Pension Plan in a complete withdrawal, or in a partial withdrawal with respect to the Property during the first five plan years beginning with the first plan year beginning after the end of the Transition  Period, then:

 

(i)            Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall pay the Multiemployer Pension Plan any and all withdrawal liability on account of such withdrawal when due;

 

(ii)           if Purchaser fails or refuses to pay the Multiemployer Pension Plan any part of its withdrawal liability on account of such withdrawal when due, Seller shall have the right (but no obligation) to make such payment on behalf of Purchaser; and

 

(iii)          Seller agrees that, if Purchaser’s withdrawal liability to the Multiemployer Pension Plan (if any) is not paid, then Seller shall be secondarily liable to the Multiemployer Pension Plan for any withdrawal liability that Seller would have to the Multiemployer Pension Plan with respect to the Property but for Section 4204 of ERISA.

 

7.4.8.            If Seller is Liquidated Within Five Years.  If all or substantially all of Seller’s assets are distributed, or if Seller is liquidated, during the first five plan years beginning with the first plan year beginning after the plan year in which the end of the Transition Period occurs, then Seller agrees to provide a bond or amount in escrow equal to the present value of the withdrawal liability that Seller would have had as a result of this sale of assets but for Section 4204 of ERISA, unless Seller timely secures a waiver of such requirement by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

 

7.5.         Credit for Prior Service.  Purchaser agrees that from and after the end of the Transition Period, Transferring Employees shall be credited with their length of service with Seller for purposes of vesting, eligibility, and benefit accruals under all employee benefit plans, programs and policies (other than Employee Pension Plans (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) subject to Title IV of ERISA) in which the Transferring Employees may participate in or be covered under from and after the end of the Transition Period.  Such service credit shall also be taken into account for purposes of benefit computation under all vacation, sick leave, paid time off, and severance plans or policies that may apply to the Transferring Employees after the Transition Period.

 

7.6.         Terms of Coverage.  To the extent that any Transferring Employee becomes covered under any Employee Welfare Benefit Plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) of Purchaser or an affiliate of Purchaser, any restrictions on coverage for pre-existing conditions or requirements for evidence of insurability under such plans will be waived for such Transferring Employees.

 



 

Purchaser shall ensure that each Transferring Employee who becomes covered under an Employee Welfare Benefit Plan that is a group health plan (including a “group health plan” as defined in Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code) shall receive credit for those sums paid in the current year under the corresponding Seller Employee Benefit Plan as deductibles, coinsurance and co-payments, towards any deductible and/or out-of-pocket maximum that may apply under such Purchaser or Purchaser affiliate plan.  As used herein, “Employee Benefit Plan” shall mean any (i) Employee Welfare Benefit Plan, (ii) nonqualified deferred compensation retirement plan or arrangement, or (iii) any agreement, plan, program, fund, policy, contract or arrangement providing compensation, pension, retirement, superannuation, profit sharing, thirteenth month, severance, change in control, termination indemnity, redundancy pay, bonus, incentive compensation, group insurance, death benefit, health, cafeteria, flexible benefit, medical expense reimbursement, dependent care, stock option, stock purchase, stock appreciation rights, savings, consulting, vacation pay, holiday pay, life insurance, or other employee benefit or fringe benefit plan, program or arrangement covering any employee or former employee, and the beneficiaries and dependents of any employee or former employee, regardless of whether it is private, funded, unfunded, financed by the purchase of insurance, contributory or non-contributory.

 

7.7.         No Third Party Beneficiaries.  The provisions of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of the respective parties to this Agreement and nothing in this Article VII, express or implied, shall confer upon any employee of the Seller, or legal representative or beneficiary thereof, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement.  Nothing in this Article VII, express or implied, shall be (i) deemed an amendment of any plan providing benefits to any employee, or (ii) construed to prevent Purchaser or its affiliate from terminating or modifying to any extent or in any respect any benefit plan that Purchaser or its affiliate may establish or maintain.
