2.                  Purchase and Sale of the Properties. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Sellers agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Sellers, the Properties for the Purchase Price.

 

3.                  Payment of Purchase Price.

 

(a)                The portion of the Purchase Price to be paid by Buyer to Sellers at Closing shall be the Purchase Price less the outstanding principal balance of the Loans as of the Closing Date(s) of the Encumbered Properties (the "Cash Portion of the Purchase Price"), plus or minus prorations, credits and adjustments as provided in Section 4 and elsewhere in this Agreement. The allocation of the Purchase Price and Earnest Money among the Properties is set forth on Schedule 3(a) attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Cash Portion of the Purchase Price shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Escrow Agent, at the time of Closing, or as otherwise agreed to between Buyer and Sellers. If Closing hereunder is held with respect to less than all of the Properties, or is held on more than one different occasion, according to the express terms hereof, the Purchase Price and Earnest Money shall be applied based on the allocations set forth in Schedule 3(a) at each such Closing with respect to the Properties subject to such Closing.

 

(b)               Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall have no obligation to purchase an Encumbered Property unless and until (and subject to any of Buyer's termination rights contained in this Agreement) Sellers and Buyer have secured from the existing mortgagee of such Encumbered Property (the "Lender") approval for an assumption of the loan secured by such Encumbered Property (each assumption, a "Loan Assumption" and collectively, the “Loan Assumptions,” and each loan, a "Loan" and collectively, the “Loans,” respectively) to be executed by Buyer at Closing, which, as to each such Encumbered Property, shall have:

(i)               an original principal balance as set forth on Schedule 3(b) attached hereto and made a part hereof;

 

(ii)              an annual interest rate as set forth on Schedule 3(b) attached hereto;

 

(iii)             a maturity date as set forth on Schedule 3(b) attached hereto;

 

(iv)            such loan document modifications as Buyer may request to address Buyer’s parent’s compliance with real estate investment trust laws and regulations and its offering materials, including, but not limited to, modifications to covenants regarding ongoing financial reporting, transfers and distributions of excess cash flow; and

 

(v)              no requirement for personal recourse liability from any shareholder, owner, officer or employee of Buyer, except for customary carve-out guaranties that are acceptable to Buyer in its reasonable discretion.

 

(c)                Except as provided below, Buyer shall be responsible for any and all fees and expenses of Lender in connection with the Loan Assumption, including without limitation, Lender’s legal fees, and any assumption fee imposed by the Lender and/or servicer of the Loans in connection with the Loan Assumptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Sellers shall be solely responsible for the payment of any fees and expenses incurred or imposed by Lender and/or its counsel arising from matters that Sellers submit to Lender for review and/or approval, exclusive of the Loan Assumption (e.g., modifications to documents that require Lender approval under the Loan Documents (defined below)); provided, however, Buyer and Sellers shall each be responsible for one-half of any fees and expenses incurred or imposed by Lender and/or its counsel relating to the assignment of the PILOT Agreements (defined below) to Buyer. Sellers shall receive reimbursement of or a credit at Closing for the balance of any FF&E replacement or other reserves held by the Lender, as well as any utility deposits paid by Sellers in connection with the Encumbered Properties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a Loan Assumption is not approved by Lender on or before the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Date, or if Lender affirmatively disapproves a Loan Assumption for any reason at any time, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, solely with respect to the applicable Encumbered Property, receive a refund of the pro-rata portion of the Earnest Money set forth on Schedule 3(a) attached hereto applicable to such terminated Encumbered Property, Sellers shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer’s actual third party expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with its due diligence on such terminated Encumbered Property up to $25,000, and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder with respect to such terminated Encumbered Property, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. In addition to Buyer’s termination right set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, if a Loan Assumption is not approved by Lender on or before the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Date, Sellers shall have the absolute right to terminate the Purchase and Sale Agreement, solely with respect to the applicable Encumbered Property, at which time the Escrow Agent shall return the pro-rata portion of the Earnest Money set forth on Schedule 3(a) attached hereto applicable to such terminated Encumbered Property and Sellers shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer’s actual third party expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with its due diligence on such terminated Encumbered Property, not to exceed $15,000.00, and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder with respect to such terminated Encumbered Property, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.

(d)               Commencing on the date that is the fifth (5) business day after the Effective Date, Buyer and Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts, including without limitation, the furnishing of all commercially reasonable documents, executed forms, instruments, financial statements and other materials requested by Lender, in a timely manner, to obtain the consent of the Lender to:

 

(i)               the transfer of the Encumbered Properties to Buyer or a bankruptcy remote, special purpose entity or entities to be formed by Buyer to purchase the Encumbered Properties as permitted pursuant and subject to the provisions of Section 25 herein (collectively, the "Buyer Entity"), the governance of which may involve an independent director(s) or other person who is not employed by Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer;

 

(ii)              the assumption of the Loans by Buyer or the Buyer Entity;

 

(iii)             the loan document modifications referenced in Section 3(b)(iv) above; and

 

(iv)             a release of Sellers and/or any of its affiliates, members or
principals from all liabilities arising under the Loans for periods after Closing, including, without limitation, any liability under any guaranty or indemnity executed by Sellers and/or any of its affiliates, members or principals in favor of Lender relating to the Loans; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Sellers acknowledges that Buyer will propose the Buyer Entity (which Buyer Entity shall be formed and established to qualify as bankruptcy remote, special purpose entity in compliance with the customary requirements for so-called "securitized loans") to the Lender to assume the Loans and Buyer will offer either American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust II, Inc., a Maryland corporation, or American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust II Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, to the Lender to provide guarantees of non-recourse carve outs and any required environmental or other indemnity. If Lender consents to the assumption of the Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Buyer Entity shall assume and agree to pay and perform from and after Closing the obligations under the Loans, in each case subject to the prorations and adjustments provided for in this Agreement.

 

(e)                The parties agree that the value of the Personalty is de minimis, and no part of the Purchase Price is allocated to it.

 

4.                  Proration of Expenses and Payment of Costs and Recording Fees.

 

(a)                Prorations. The following items will be prorated as of 12:01 A.M. on each Closing Date, as applicable, with all items of income and expense for the Properties being borne by Buyer from and after (and including) the Closing Date: Tenant Receivables (hereinafter defined) and other income and rents that have been collected by Sellers as of Closing; fees and assessments; prepaid expenses and obligations under service contracts which are assigned, if any; accrued operating expenses; ground rent and other amounts paid and payable under the Ground Leases; Real Estate Taxes; and any assessments by private covenant for the then-current calendar year of Closing.

 

7
 

 

(b)               Taxes

 

(i)                 If Real Estate Taxes for the year of Closing are not known or cannot be reasonably estimated, Real Estate Taxes will be prorated based on Real Estate Taxes for the year prior to Closing. Any additional Real Estate Taxes in the nature of “roll back” taxes or relating to the year of Closing arising out of a change in the use of the Land and Improvements or a change in ownership shall be paid by Sellers when due and payable, and Sellers will indemnify Buyer from and against any and all such Real Estate Taxes arising out of the transfer of the Properties, which indemnification obligation will survive the Closing.

 

(ii)               If Sellers have engaged or will engage prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, consultants for the purpose of protesting the amount of taxes or the assessed valuation for certain tax periods for the Properties (“Protest Proceedings”), any cash refunds or proceeds actually distributed (collectively, “Cash Refunds”) will be apportioned as described below. Any Cash Refunds (including interest thereon) on account of a favorable determination, after deduction of costs and expenses incurred for such Protest Proceedings, shall be: (A) the property of Sellers to the extent such Cash Refunds were for Real Estate Taxes paid by Sellers applicable to a period prior to the Closing Date; (B) prorated between Buyer and Sellers for taxes paid for a period during which the Closing Date occurred; and (C) the property of Buyer for Real Estate Taxes for a period after the Closing Date. Sellers and Buyer agree to notify the other in writing of any receipt of a Cash Refund within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of such Cash Refund. To the extent either party obtains a Cash Refund, a portion of which is owed to the other party, the receiving party shall deliver the Cash Refund to the other party within fifteen (15) Business Days of its receipt. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that Sellers have the right to initiate proceedings to protest the valuation of any of the Properties prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Sellers agree to give Buyer notice of Sellers’ intent to initiate such proceedings prior to initiation of such proceedings and at any time subsequent to the end of the Due Diligence Period shall obtain Buyer’s consent to initiation of such proceedings, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(c)                Utilities. Buyer will take all steps necessary to effectuate the transfer of all utilities to its name as of the Closing Date, and where necessary, post deposits with the utility companies. Sellers will use reasonable efforts to have all utility meters read as of the day preceding the Closing Date. If such utilities are not read as of the day preceding the Closing Date, such utilities shall be estimated at Closing based on the most recent bills and reprorated when the bills for the period in which the Closing occurs are received. Sellers will be entitled to recover any and all deposits held by any utility company as of the Closing Date.

 

8
 

 

(d)               Tenant Receivables. Rents due from Tenants under Leases (including operating expense and real estate tax contributions or reimbursements and similar charges (collectively, “Pass-Through Expenses”)), set-offs due or required to be paid under or by reason of the Leases (collectively called “Tenant Receivables”) shall be adjusted by appropriate credit to Sellers or Buyer (as the case may be) on each Closing Date. If, at the Closing Date, any Tenant is in arrears in the payment of rents (“Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables”), Sellers will disclose the same to Buyer in writing or on the rent roll to be delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section 10 hereof and such amounts shall not be adjusted on the Closing Date. Prior to each Closing Date, Sellers shall use Sellers’ current business practices to collect Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables. If Buyer shall collect Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, then Buyer shall turn over to Sellers the arrearages so collected, less the reasonable cost of collection thereof, if any; provided, however, Sellers may continue to seek to collect the Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables by legal action following the Closing Date. All rents collected by Buyer after the Closing Date (except for amounts specifically billed and paid as end of year reconciliation payments for Pass-Through Expenses, which shall be separately accounted for and allocated, pro rata, between Sellers and Buyer as their interest may appear) shall be first applied to rents due and payable after the Closing Date and only the excess thereof shall be paid over to Sellers on account of the Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables. Buyer shall prepare the reconciliation of Pass-Through Expenses for the Properties for calendar year 2014 and shall be responsible for settling up with Tenants regarding such Pass-Through Expenses. Each Seller agrees to cause its property manager to cooperate with Buyer in preparing such reconciliation. To the extent that items to be apportioned hereunder may be required to be paid directly by a Tenant under its Lease, the same shall not be apportioned, provided, however, that such items shall have been paid by such Tenant currently through the month including the Closing Date. Sellers expressly agree that if Sellers receive any amounts after the Closing Date which are attributable, in whole or in part, to any period after the Closing Date, Sellers will notify Buyer of such fact and will remit to Buyer that portion of the monies so received by Sellers to which Buyer is entitled within ten (10) business days after receipt thereof. With respect to unbilled Tenant Receivables, Buyer covenants and agrees to cause its property manager to (A) bill the same in the ordinary course of its business and (B) cooperate with Sellers to determine the correct amount of operating expenses and/or taxes due. The provisions of this subparagraph 4(d) shall survive Closing and the delivery of each Deed and Assignment and Assumption of Ground Lease (hereinafter defined, and collectively, the “Transfer Documents”).

 

A reconciliation or determination of Pass-Through Expenses, Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables and unbilled Tenant Receivables due under the Leases shall be made at Closing to the extent possible. To the extent such information is not available at Closing, the foregoing shall be subject to adjustment following the Closing in accordance with the terms of Section 4(d) above.

 

(e)                If final bills are not available or cannot be issued prior to Closing for any item being prorated under Section 4(a) through (d), then, for each separate item for which an adjustment is to be made, the following will apply: (i) initially the matter subject to allocation at Closing (including without limitation the Pass-Through Expenses) shall be re-prorated within sixty (60) days following the Closing; (ii) a further adjustment of prorated items shall occur one hundred twenty (120) days following the close of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs; and (iii) a final adjustment shall occur not later than twelve (12) months after the Closing. All such rights and obligations under this Section 4(e) will survive the Closing.

 

9
 

 

(f)                All security deposits under the Leases collected and not properly applied by Sellers as of the Closing (and interest thereon if required by law or contract) must be transferred or credited to Buyer at Closing. As of the Closing, Buyer will assume each Sellers’ obligations related to the security deposits, but only to the extent they are credited or transferred to Buyer.

 

(g)               Sellers shall pay or be charged with the following costs and expenses in connection with this transaction:

 

(i)                 Premiums for the Title Policies as set forth on Schedule 4(g), attached hereto;

 

(ii)               Transfer taxes and conveyance fees on the sale and transfer of the Properties as set forth on Schedule 4(g), attached hereto;

(iv)             Except as set forth in Section 4(h)(vi) below and on Schedule 11(g), any leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs, rent abatements, and other leasing expenses in connection with any Leases or Lease renewals or amendments entered into prior to the date hereof; and

 

(v)               One-half of Escrow Agent’s closing fee.

 

(h)               Buyer shall pay or be charged with the following costs and expenses in connection with this transaction:

 

(i)                 Premiums for the Title Policies as set forth on Schedule 4(g), attached hereto, except Buyer shall pay for all special endorsements and any survey endorsements;

 

(ii)               Transfer taxes and conveyance fees on the sale and transfer of the Properties as set forth on Schedule 4(g), attached hereto;

 

(iii)             the cost of the surveys (including any costs of certifying such surveys to Buyer, Approved Assignees and, if applicable, Lender) ordered for the Properties;

 

(iv)             all costs and expenses in connection with the assumption of the Loans by Buyer, including appraisal, points, any assumption fee, commitment fees and the like, the Lender’s legal fees, the Lender’s title insurance expenses and costs for the filing of all documents necessary to complete such financing and related documentary stamp tax and intangibles tax;

 

(v)               Buyer shall pay for Phase I environmental study and due diligence investigations;

 

(vi)             any leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs and other leasing expenses in connection with any Leases or Lease renewals and Lease expansions or amendments entered into or exercised on or after the date hereof, provided that Sellers have disclosed such commissions, costs or expenses to Buyer prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period or Buyer has approved, in its sole discretion, such commissions, costs or expenses after the end of the Due Diligence Period, and Buyer shall only be obligated to pay such costs and expenses if the Closing occurs;

 

10
 

 

(vii)           One-half of Escrow Agent’s closing fee;

 

(viii)         All fees relating to the recording of the Transfer Documents for the Properties; and

(i)                 Interest on the Loan shall be prorated as of Closing, and Sellers shall receive a credit at Closing for any money of Sellers held by Lender in escrow as of the Closing.

 

(j) Each party shall pay its own legal fees incidental to the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.                  Examination of Properties. Sellers and Buyer hereby agree as follows:

 

(a)                Buyer shall order title commitments (the “Title Commitments and each, a Title Commitment”) from the Escrow Agent as well as an ALTA survey of each of the Properties promptly after the Effective Date. All matters shown in the Title Commitments or surveys (Title Matters”) with respect to which Buyer fails to object by written notice to Sellers prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions”. Except for the documents evidencing and securing repayment of the Loans (which shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions), Permitted Exceptions shall not include any mechanic’s lien or any monetary lien, fine or penalty, or any deeds of trust, mortgage, or other loan documents secured by the Properties (collectively, “Liens”). Sellers shall be required to cure or remove all Liens (by payment or bond deposit or indemnity acceptable to Escrow Agent). Sellers shall have no obligation to cure any Title Matter objected to, except the Liens as aforesaid, unless Sellers notify Buyer that Sellers have elected to remove or cure within five (5) business days following receipt of Buyer’s objections (and no response within such time period shall be deemed an election by Sellers not to remove or cure). In the event that Sellers refuse (or are deemed to have refused) to remove or cure any objections, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Sellers given within five (5) business days after receipt of Sellers’ notice, upon which termination the Earnest Money, and all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein (without diminution of Buyer’s express right to a Partial Termination described in Section 6(b) below). If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement within such five (5) business day period, any objections which Sellers have not agreed to cure shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions. If any matter not revealed in a Title Commitment is discovered by Buyer or by the Escrow Agent and is added to a Title Commitment by the Escrow Agent at or prior to Closing, Buyer shall have until the earlier of (i) five (5) business days after Buyer’s receipt of the updated, revised Title Commitment showing the new title exception, together with a legible copy of any such new matter, or (ii) the Closing Date, to provide Sellers with written notice of its objection to any such new title exception (an “Objection”). If Sellers do not remove or cure such Objection prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected Property and such termination shall be treated in the same manner as a Partial Termination described in Section 6(b) below, in which case the applicable portion of the Earnest Money, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder with respect to such Property, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein; and, if Sellers do not remove or cure such Objection prior to the Closing and Buyer nonetheless elects to proceed with the Closing, such Objections shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions.

(b)               Within two (2) business days following the Effective Date, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer, or make available to Buyer on an accessible due diligence website, copies of the following documents and materials pertaining to the Properties, to the extent same are in Sellers’ possession or control, and for each day that passes thereafter until all of the Due Diligence Materials are delivered or made available to Buyer, the Due Diligence Period and the Closing Dates shall be extended by one (1) business day: (i) a complete copy of the Ground Leases and all Leases affecting the Properties and all amendments and material correspondence relating thereto (unless the same have been previously provided to Buyer); (ii) a copy of all surveys and site plans of the Properties, including without limitation any as-built survey obtained or delivered to Tenants of the Properties in connection with its construction; (iii) a copy of all architectural plans and specifications and construction drawings and contracts for improvements located on the Properties (which shall only be delivered after Closing to Buyer’s property manager); (iv) a copy of Sellers’ title insurance policies relating to the Properties; (v) a copy of the certificate of occupancy and of all governmental permits/approvals for the Properties; (vi) a copy of the most recent Phase I environmental report for the Properties; (vii) copies of the Properties’ real estate tax bills for the current and prior two (2) tax years or, if the Property has been owned by the Seller for less than two (2) tax years, for the period of ownership; (viii) the monthly operating statements of the Properties for 2012 and 2013, and the annual operating statements of the Properties for 2010 and 2011; (ix) current delinquency reports for the Properties and monthly delinquency reports of the Plank Property, the Stockbridge Property, the Village Center Property and the Arrowhead II Property for 2012 and 2013; (x) all service contracts which affect the Properties, if any; (xi) a copy of all warranties relating to the improvements constructed on the Properties, including without limitation any structural slab or roof warranties; (xii) a written inventory of all items of personal property to be conveyed to Buyer, if any; (xiii) Tenant financials for each Tenant, to the extent reasonably available to Sellers and consistent with each such Tenant’s reporting requirements; (xiv) a copy of all primary and secondary state licenses or regulatory permits for the Properties; (xv) the notes, mortgages and other documents securing repayment of the Loans (collectively, the “Loan Documents”); (xvi) a copy of any documents relating to a waiver of life safety code or physical plant requirements; (xvii) all PILOT and/or IDA agreements affecting the Properties (“PILOT Agreements”); and (xviii) the operating budgets (which are included in the ARGUS reports previously delivered to Buyer) and any CAM reconciliations of the Properties for 2012 and 2013, if available (collectively, the “Due Diligence Materials”). Sellers shall deliver or make available to Buyer on an accessible due diligence website any other documents relating to the Properties reasonably requested by Buyer, to the extent within Sellers’ possession or reasonably obtainable by Sellers or Sellers’ counsel, within three (3) business days following such request; provided, however, Sellers shall not be obligated to deliver any proprietary, privileged or confidential documents. Additionally, during the term of this Agreement, Buyer, its agents and designees, shall have the right to enter the Properties for the purposes of inspecting the Properties, conducting soil tests, and making surveys, mechanical and structural engineering studies, inspecting construction, and conducting any other investigations and inspections as Buyer may reasonably require to assess the condition and suitability of the Properties; provided, however, that such activities by or on behalf of Buyer on the Properties shall continue to be subject to any terms set forth in any written access and confidentiality agreement entered into with respect to the Properties by and between Buyer and Sellers or their affiliates. Buyer shall have the unconditional right, for any reason or no reason, to terminate this Agreement as to all Properties by giving written notice thereof to Sellers and the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which event this Agreement shall become null and void with respect to all Properties, Buyer shall receive a refund of the Earnest Money, together with all interest earned thereon, and all rights, liabilities and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall expire, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. In addition to Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement as to all of the Properties during the Due Diligence Period for any reason or no reason at all, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to any single Property, but no more than two (2) Properties in total, if the Property subject to termination has specific material title, survey, zoning or environmental issues that a commercially reasonable buyer would not elect to close over, in which event this Agreement shall become null and void with respect to the terminated Property or Properties, Buyer shall receive a refund of the pro-rata portion of the Earnest Money set forth on Schedule 3(a) attached hereto applicable to such terminated Property or Properties, and all rights, liabilities and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate with respect to (but only with respect to) such terminated Properties, except as otherwise expressly set forth therein (a “Partial Termination”). If Buyer fails to give such notice prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph shall thereafter be null and void, except as otherwise expressly agreed to, time being of the essence.

(c)                It shall be a condition of Closing that Sellers shall have obtained, at least three (3) days prior to each Closing, as applicable, an estoppel certificate from (i) Tenants (A) occupying all Properties which are single-tenant Properties, (B) representing, collectively, at least seventy-five percent (75%) of all occupied rentable space at each Property, and (C) occupying, pursuant to one or more leases, twenty percent (20%) or more of all occupied rentable space at a Property, (ii) the Ground Lessors, (iii) the Required Guarantors, and (iv) the applicable government agencies that are parties to the PILOT Agreements (the “Estoppel Certificates”, and each, an “Estoppel Certificate”), and Sellers shall use good faith efforts to obtain the same. So long as Sellers use commercially reasonable efforts, the failure to obtain an estoppel from any Guarantor shall not be a condition to closing, except as expressly set forth in clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence. The estoppels requested shall be based either on the form attached hereto as Exhibit G or, to the extent applicable, on forms prescribed or permitted by the applicable lease, covenant or other instrument. Sellers shall promptly deliver to Buyer photocopies or pdf files of each executed Estoppel Certificate when Sellers receive the same. Sellers shall request the Estoppel Certificates required herein applicable to the Unencumbered Properties within two (2) business days of the Effective Date (and simultaneously provide Buyer with a copy of such request). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to request any Estoppel Certificates applicable to the Arrowhead II Property until Seller has obtained written evidence of partnership approval to consummate the transactions contemplated herein with respect to such Property. Buyer and Sellers shall agree upon a reasonable time for Sellers to request Estoppel Certificates required herein applicable to the Encumbered Properties in light of the anticipated timing of applicable Loan Assumption approvals. All Estoppel Certificates shall be certified to Buyer, the Approved Assignee, their lenders and successors and assigns.

 

13
 

 

(d)               Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Estoppel Certificates in accordance with Section 6(c) above from all Tenants and Guarantors and estoppel certificates reasonably acceptable to Buyer from any parties to reciprocal and/or operating easement agreements (“REA Estoppel Certificates”), as applicable for the Properties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that Seller is unable, despite commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain any Estoppel Certificate which is a condition of Closing by the date previously scheduled for Closing, Seller shall have the right to postpone the Closing with respect to the affected Properties upon written notice to Buyer up to fifteen (15) additional business days in order to obtain such Estoppel Certificate. For the avoidance of doubt, such postponement shall not affect the Closing with respect to the remainder of the Properties and, with respect to each such Closing, the Purchase Price and Earnest Money shall be applied as provided in Section 3(a) above.

 

(e)                With respect to the Unencumbered Properties, within two (2) business days following the Effective Date, Sellers shall request from any party that may have any right of first refusal, right of first offer or other option to purchase any of the Properties from Sellers a written waiver of such option (collectively, the “Purchase Option Waivers”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to request any Purchase Option Waivers applicable to the Arrowhead II Property until Seller has obtained written evidence of partnership approval to consummate the transactions contemplated herein with respect to such Property. Buyer and Sellers shall agree upon a reasonable time for Sellers to request Purchase Option Waivers applicable to the Encumbered Properties in light of the anticipated timing of applicable Loan Assumption approvals.

 

(f)                With respect to any of the Leasehold Properties, in the event the applicable Ground Lease shall be subject to being extinguished by a foreclosure of a mortgage on the underlying fee estate, the Seller must cause the applicable fee mortgagee to execute a non-disturbance agreement satisfactory to Buyer as a condition to Closing.

 

(g)               If any Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof is not of record, it shall be a condition of Closing that Seller shall have obtained from the applicable Ground Lessor a memorandum of Ground Lease in form and substance acceptable to Buyer (the “Memo of Ground Lease”). Within five (5) business days following the Effective Date, Seller shall request the Memo of Ground Lease from any Ground Lessor under an unrecorded Ground Lease.

 

14
 

 

7.                  Risk of Loss/Condemnation. Upon an occurrence of a casualty, condemnation or taking, Sellers shall notify Buyer in writing of same. Until Closing, the risk of loss or damage to the Properties, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be borne by Sellers. In the event all or any portion of the Properties is damaged in any casualty or condemned or taken (or notice of any condemnation or taking is issued) so that (a) with respect to multi-tenant Properties, any Tenant leasing greater than twenty percent (20%) of the rentable square footage of any Property leased on the date hereof has exercised a right of termination under its Lease, (b) with respect to the Leasehold Properties, the applicable Ground Lessor has exercised a right of termination under the Ground Lease, (c) with respect to single-tenant properties, the Tenant has exercised a right of termination under its Lease, or (d) with respect to any casualty, if the cost to repair such casualty would exceed $500,000 per Property, or (c) with respect to any condemnation, any Improvements or access to the Properties or more than five percent (5%) of any Property is (or will be) condemned or taken, then, Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to (but only with respect to) the affected Properties by providing written notice of such termination to Sellers within ten (10) business days after Buyer’s receipt of written notice of such condemnation, taking or damage, upon which termination, the Purchase Price and Earnest Money shall be prorated as provided in Section 3(a) above, and the pro rata portion of the Earnest Money applicable to the affected Properties, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Buyer and neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. With respect to any condemnation or taking (of any notice thereof), if Buyer does not elect to cancel this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Sellers shall assign to Buyer at the Closing, the rights of Sellers to the awards, if any, for the condemnation or taking, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep all such awards. With respect to a casualty, if Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement or does not have the right to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Sellers shall assign to Buyer at the Closing, the rights of Sellers to the proceeds under Sellers’ insurance policies covering such Properties with respect to such damage or destruction (or pay to Buyer any such proceeds received prior to Closing) and pay to Buyer the amount of any deductible with respect thereto, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep any monies received from such insurance policies (other than any rent loss or business interruption insurance proceeds for the period prior to the Closing Date).

 

8.                  Earnest Money Disbursement. The Earnest Money shall be held by Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:

 

(a)                If the Closing occurs, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to, or upon the instructions of, Sellers and Buyer on the Closing Date to be applied as part payment of the Purchase Price (subject to the express provisions hereof with regard to partial Closings and proration of the Purchase Price and Earnest Money). If for any reason the Closing does not occur, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to Sellers or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this clause (a). Subject to the last sentence of this clause (a), if for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand (the “Demand”) upon Escrow Agent for payment of the Earnest Money, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of the Demand within one (1) business day after receipt of the Demand. If Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within five (5) business days after the giving of such notice by Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make the payment set forth in the Demand. If Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such period, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Sellers and Buyer or a final judgment of a court. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (a), if Buyer delivers a notice to Escrow Agent and Sellers stating that Buyer has terminated this Agreement with respect to one or more of the Properties on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Escrow Agent shall immediately return the portion of the Earnest Money set forth on Schedule 3(a) attached hereto applicable to such terminated Property, together with all interest earned thereon, to Buyer without the necessity of delivering any notice to, or receiving any notice from Sellers.

 

15
 

 

(b)               The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that 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 Sellers or Buyer resulting from Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting the scope or nature of Escrow Agent’s duties. Sellers and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that Escrow Agent shall hold the Earnest Money in escrow, and shall disburse the Earnest Money pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.

 

9.                  Default

 

(a)                In the event that Sellers are ready, willing and able to close in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, and Buyer defaults in any of its obligations undertaken in this Agreement, Sellers shall be entitled, as their sole and exclusive remedy, to either: (i) if Buyer is willing to proceed to Closing, waive such default and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; or (ii) declare this Agreement to be terminated, and Sellers shall be entitled to immediately receive all of the Earnest Money as liquidated damages as and for Sellers’ sole remedy. Upon such termination, neither Buyer nor Sellers shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Sellers and Buyer agree that (a) actual damages due to Buyer’s default hereunder would be difficult and inconvenient to ascertain and that such amount is not a penalty and is fair and reasonable in light of all relevant circumstances, (b) the amount specified as liquidated damages is not disproportionate to the damages that would be suffered and the costs that would be incurred by Sellers as a result of having withdrawn the Properties from the market, and (c) Buyer desires to limit its liability under this Agreement to the amount of the Earnest Money paid in the event Buyer fails to complete Closing, and such amount shall be paid to Sellers as liquidated damages and as Sellers’ sole remedy hereunder. Sellers hereby waive any right to recover the balance of the Purchase Price, or any part thereof, and the right to pursue any other remedy permitted at law or in equity against Buyer.

 

16
 

 

(b)               In the event of a default in the obligations herein taken by Sellers with respect to any one or more of the Properties, Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either: (i) waive any unsatisfied conditions and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; (ii) terminate this Agreement solely with respect to the Properties to which the default is applicable by delivering written notice thereof to Sellers no later than Closing, upon which termination the Purchase Price and Earnest Money shall be prorated as provided in Section 3(a) above, and the portion of the Earnest Money applicable to the affected Properties, together with all interest earned therein, shall be refunded to Buyer, and Sellers shall pay to Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement, not to exceed $25,000 per Property, which return and payment shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Sellers and Buyer from any and all liability hereunder, except those which are specifically stated herein to survive any termination hereof; (iii) enforce specific performance of Sellers’ obligations hereunder; or (iv) by notice to Sellers given on or before the Closing Date, extend the Closing Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days (the “Closing Extension Period”), and the “Closing Date” shall be moved to the last day of the Closing Extension Period. If Buyer so extends the Closing Date, then Sellers may, but shall not be obligated to, cause said conditions to be satisfied during the Closing Extension Period. If Sellers do not cause said conditions to be satisfied during the Closing Extension Period, then Buyer shall have the remedies set forth in Section 9(b) (i) through (iii) above except that the term “Closing” shall read “Extended Closing”.

 

(c)                Sellers shall have no liability after Closing for the breach of any representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement and any closing documents delivered pursuant hereto except to the extent the loss suffered by Buyer as a result of such breaches exceeds $50,000 for each Property to which the loss is applicable, and in no event shall each Sellers’ liability after Closing under this Agreement and any closing documents delivered pursuant hereto as a result of such breaches exceed, with respect to each such breach, two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the portion of the Purchase Price allocable to each Seller’s Property to which such breach may be applicable (the “Liability Limitation”).

 

(d)               NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THE PARTIES HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND RELEASE ANY RIGHT, POWER OR PRIVILEGE EITHER MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECEIVE FROM THE OTHER PARTY ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, STATUTORY OR TREBLE DAMAGES OR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WITH RESPECT TO ANY BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGING AND AGREEING THAT THE REMEDIES HEREIN PROVIDED, WILL IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES BE ADEQUATE. THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND RELEASE SHALL APPLY IN ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

 

(e)                NO PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEEK A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND EACH WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CLOSING DOCUMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY EACH PARTY, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. ANY PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY EACH PARTY HERETO.

 

17
 

  

10.              Closing. Each Closing shall consist of the execution and delivery of documents by Sellers and Buyer, as set forth below, and delivery by Buyer to Sellers of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

At Closing, Buyer shall instruct Escrow Agent to deliver the Earnest Money, together with all interest earned thereon, to Sellers, which shall be applied to the Purchase Price, shall deliver the balance of the Purchase Price to Sellers and shall execute and deliver execution counterparts of the applicable closing documents referenced in this Section 10. Buyer shall have the right to advance the Closing upon five (5) business days prior written notice to Sellers; provided that all conditions precedent to both Buyer’s and Sellers’ respective obligations to proceed with Closing under this Agreement have been satisfied (or, if there are conditions to a party’s obligation to proceed with Closing that remain unsatisfied, such conditions have been waived by such party). Buyer shall have a one-time right to extend the Closing for up to fifteen (15) business days upon written notice to Sellers to be received by Sellers on or prior to the date scheduled for the Closing. If Buyer timely exercises this right to extend, any document that Sellers are obligated to provide that is “time sensitive” does not need to be provided again by Sellers. The Closing shall be held through the mail, by delivery in escrow of the closing documents to the Escrow Agent, on or prior to the Closing or such other place or manner as the parties hereto may mutually agree.

 

11.              Representations by Sellers. For the purpose of inducing Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the sale and purchase of the Properties in accordance herewith, each Seller individually makes the following representations and warranties to Buyer as of the date hereof:

 

(a)                Seller is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization, and to the extent required by law, the State in which the Seller’s Property is located. Seller has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all closing documents to be executed by Seller, and to perform all of Seller’s obligations hereunder and thereunder. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and all closing documents to be executed by Seller, nor the performance of the obligations of Seller hereunder or thereunder will result in the violation of any law or any provision of the organizational documents of Seller or will conflict with any order or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality of any nature by which Seller is bound. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not require the consent or approval of any court, administrative or governmental authority and does not result in the creation or imposition of any lien or equity of any kind whatsoever upon, or give to any other person any interest or right (including any right of termination or cancellation) in or with respect to, any material agreement to which Seller is a party or the business or operations of Seller or any of its properties or assets;

 

20
 

 

(b)               Seller has not received any written notice of any current or pending litigation, condemnation proceeding or tax appeals affecting Seller or Seller’s Property and Seller does not have any actual knowledge of any pending litigation or tax appeals against Seller or Seller’s Property; Seller has not initiated, nor is Seller participating in, any action for a change or modification in the current subdivision, site plan, zoning or other land use permits for Seller’s Property;

 

(c)                Seller has not entered into any contracts or agreements for the providing of goods or services with respect to Seller’s Property which will be binding upon Buyer after the Closing other than the contracts and agreements referenced on Schedule 11(c), annexed hereto which will be assigned to Buyer at Closing;

 

(d)               With respect to the Loans, the Sellers of the Encumbered Properties make the following representations and warranties: (i) attached hereto as Schedule 11(d) is a complete list of the Loan Documents; (ii) the Loan Documents are valid and in full force and effect on the date hereof; and (iii) to Seller’s actual knowledge, no Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Documents) has occurred and is continuing, nor, to Seller’s actual knowledge, has any material event or omission occurred which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default by Seller thereunder;

 

(e)                Except for violations which have been cured or remedied on or before the date hereof, Seller has not received any written notice from (or delivered any notice to) any governmental authority regarding any violation of any law applicable to Seller’s Property;

In the event that either party (the “Exchanging Party”) desires to effectuate such an exchange, then the other party (the “Non-Exchanging Party”) agrees to cooperate fully with the Exchanging Party in order that the Exchanging Party may effectuate such an exchange; provided, however, that with respect to such Exchange (a) all additional costs, fees and expenses related thereto shall be the sole responsibility of, and borne by, the Exchanging Party; (b) the Non-Exchanging Party shall incur no additional liability as a result of such exchange; (c) the contemplated exchange shall not delay any of the time periods or other obligations of the Exchanging Party hereby, and without limiting the foregoing, the scheduled date for Closing shall not be delayed or adversely affected by reason of the Exchange; (d) the accomplishment of the Exchange shall not be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the Exchanging Party's obligations under the Agreement; (e) the Non-Exchanging Party shall not be required to hold title to any land other than the Properties for purposes of the Exchange, and (f) the Exchanging Party shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder.

The Non-Exchanging Party shall not, by reason of the Exchange, (i) have its rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any representations, warranties and covenants made by the Exchanging Party in this Agreement (including but not limited to any warranties of title, which, if any Seller is the Exchanging Party, shall remain warranties of Seller), or in any of the closing documents (including but not limited to any warranties of title, which, if any Seller is the Exchanging Party, shall remain warranties of Seller) contemplated hereby, adversely affected or diminished in any manner, or (ii) be responsible for compliance with or deemed to have warranted to the Exchanging Party that the Exchange complies with Section 1031 of the Code.

26.              Attorneys’ Fees. In any action between Buyer and Sellers as a result of failure to perform or a default under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party, and the other party shall pay to the prevailing party, the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs incurred in such action.

 

27.              Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each of Buyer’s and Sellers’ obligations hereunder.

 

28.              Counterparts; Electronic Signatures.

30.              Anti-Terrorism. Each party represents to the other party that neither it nor any of its affiliates, are in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law (as hereinafter defined) or engages in or conspires to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law. “Anti-Terrorism Laws” shall mean any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, including: Executive Order No. 13224; the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56, as the same has been, or may hereafter be, renewed, extended, amended or replaced; the applicable laws comprising or implementing the Bank Secrecy Act; and the applicable laws administered by the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (as any of the foregoing may from time to time be amended, renewed, extended, or replaced).

The audit shall be at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, and Buyer shall reimburse Sellers for any reasonable third-party costs and expenses Sellers incur in connection with such audit promptly after Buyer’s receipt of reasonable supporting documentation of such costs and expenses. Sellers understand and acknowledge that Buyer is required to file audited financial statements related to the Properties with the SEC within seventy-one (71) days of the Closing Date. Sellers agree to provide necessary operating statements and related requested documentation to the Buyer’s auditors on a timely basis to facilitate Buyer’s timely submission of such audited financial statements.

If, as of the Closing Date of the 310 Lafayette Property, the Seller of the 310 Lafayette Property has not already paid in full the tenant improvement allowance payable to Saint Mary’s under any of its Leases (the “Saint Mary’s Leases”), Seller may, in lieu of crediting such remaining tenant improvement allowance against the Purchase Price, deposit such remaining tenant improvement allowance in escrow with the Escrow Agent pursuant to an escrow agreement by and among, Saint Mary’s, Escrow Agent and Seller (to be assigned by Seller to Buyer at Closing), in form and substance mutually agreeable to Buyer, Saint Mary’s and Escrow Agent, which agreement shall provide for the release of the escrowed funds upon satisfaction of the conditions for release of funds contained in the Saint Mary’s Leases (the “Saint Mary’s TI Escrow Agreement”).

 

30
