(d) All of Seller’s right, title and interest, if any, in and to all of the following items, to the extent assignable and without warranty (the “Intangible Personal Property”): (A) licenses, permits, building inspection approvals, certificates of occupancy, approvals, subdivision maps and entitlements issued, approved or granted by all governmental authorities in connection with or relating to the operation of the Property, (B) the right to use the name of the property (if any) in connection with the Property, other transferable intangible personal property of Seller used in connection with the ownership or operation of the Property and the goodwill of Seller in connection with the Property, (C) if still in effect, guaranties and warranties received by Seller from any contractor, manufacturer or other person in connection with the construction or operation of the Property, (D) covenants, conditions and restrictions, reciprocal easement agreements, area easement agreements and other common or planned development agreements or documents benefiting the Property and (E) licenses, consents, easements, rights of way and approvals obtained from private parties to make use of utilities and to provide vehicular and pedestrian ingress and egress for the Property.

1.4            Payment of Purchase Price. Purchaser’s obligation to pay the full Purchase Price is subject to the Property being one hundred percent (100%) occupied as of the Closing Date, with all Tenants occupying their respective spaces, open for business and paying full rent, including CAM, taxes and insurance, current and in accordance with the amounts shown on the rent roll attached hereto as Exhibit D (collectively, “Occupancy Requirements”). In the event the Occupancy Requirements are not satisfied on the Closing Date, then Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that the purchase price payable at Closing shall be an amount equal to the actual annual base minimum rent payable by such Tenants, less the amount, if any, by which the pass-through amounts (i.e., CAM, taxes and insurance) payable by such Tenants are less than one hundred percent (100%) of such Tenants’ collective proportionate share, and divided by a base rent divider of 7.3719%; provided, however, in no event shall such purchase price be less than Nineteen Million One Hundred Twenty-Two Thousand Five Hundred Sixty and 00/100 Dollars ($19,122,560.00) (“Initial Purchase Price Payment’). The Initial Purchase Price Payment shall be payable by Purchaser to Seller at Closing in immediate, same day U.S. funds by federal wire transfer as provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, with the total of all Earnout Payments made in accordance with Section 1.5, the total aggregate purchase price may increase to, but not exceed $23,997,286.00.

 

1.5 Earnouts. In the event the Occupancy Requirements are not satisfied at Closing, Seller shall have a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”) to earn the potential Earnout Payments. If Seller is successful in the leasing of the (i) vacant space currently existing as of the date hereof and shown on Exhibit I (the "Constructed Vacant Space") and (ii) vacant space located in a building to be constructed by Seller after the Closing (the “Unbuilt Vacant Space”, the Constructed Vacant Space and the Unbuilt Vacant Space shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Vacant Space”; it being acknowledged and agreed that should any tenant of the Property vacate its space after the Closing, such space shall not be, or be deemed to be, part of the Vacant Space), or any portion thereof, in accordance with the Leasing Parameters (as hereinafter defined) and each tenant shall have accepted their space “as is”, taken total possession, opened for business and commenced full rental payments, including CAM, taxes and insurance on a prorata basis under any such lease has occurred, all applicable tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions have been paid in full, and Purchaser has received an Estoppel Letter reasonably acceptable to Purchaser from each such tenant (collectively, the "Earnout Requirements"), then Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the actual annual base minimum rent under such lease for the applicable portion of the Vacant Space, divided by a base rent divider of 7.3719% (such amount being referred to as an "Earnout Payment"). Within ten (10) business days after the Earnout Requirements have been satisfied and Seller has notified Purchaser in writing that it has satisfied the Earnout Requirements (and provided the Earnout Period has not expired), there shall be an Earnout Closing (herein so called). At the Earnout Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the applicable

4
 

 

Earnout Payment, and Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (if not previously delivered), a down date endorsement to Purchaser's Owner's Policy of Title Insurance showing that there are no mechanic's or materialmens' liens affecting Purchaser's title to the Property caused by Seller.

It is expressly understood that (i) Seller shall waive its right to any remaining Earnout Payments if no lease for the applicable Vacant Space has been fully executed within twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date and (ii) no tenant for a Vacant Space can be Seller or an affiliate of Seller.

It shall be Seller’s responsibility and sole cost and expense for leasing out and paying all costs related to placing the tenants into the applicable Vacant Space, including, but not limited to, any commissions, tenant improvement allowances and concessions. Leasing of the Vacant Space shall be in accordance with the leasing parameters attached hereto as Exhibit J (the "Leasing Parameters"). Following the Closing, Seller shall be responsible on a monthly basis for all CAM, taxes and insurance due on a prorata basis for the Vacant Space until such time as Seller satisfies the Earnout Requirements for the Vacant Space, but in no event following the expiration of the Earnout Period.

Purchaser shall act in a commercially reasonable manner and in good faith during its review and determination of the approval of any new proposed tenant and/or lease presented to Purchaser. Also, Purchaser agrees to respond to any request for the approval of any new proposed tenant and/or lease presented to Purchaser within ten (10) business days after receipt of such request and all reasonable documentation required to evaluate such request by Purchaser, if Purchaser fails to respond to such request within such 10-business day period and such failure continues for a period in excess of five (5) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of notice of such failure, then such proposed tenant and/or lease shall be deemed approved by Purchaser.

With respect to the Unbuilt Vacant Space, Purchaser and Seller hereby agree to enter into at Closing (i) a construction management agreement reasonably acceptable to both parties and governing the construction of the Unbuilt Vacant Space and (ii) an escrow agreement reasonably acceptable to both parties whereby as Seller incurs costs to construct the building for the Unbuilt Vacant Space, Purchaser shall deposit funds in escrow with the Title Company in amounts equal to the costs incurred by and paid for by Seller, as reasonably evidenced by Seller. Purchaser agrees to provide Seller with drafts of both (i) and (ii) within twenty-one (21) days of the Effective Date.

The Property Information and all other information, other than matters of public record, furnished to, or obtained through inspection of the Property by, Purchaser, its affiliates, lenders, employees or agents relating to the Property, will be treated by Purchaser, its affiliates, lenders, employees and agents as confidential, and will not be disclosed to anyone other than on a need-to-know basis to Purchaser’s consultants who agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information, and the Property Information will be returned to Seller by Purchaser if the Closing does not occur within ten (10) days after Purchaser receives a written request for such Property Information from Seller.

2.2 Inspections. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 2.3 below, during the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall be permitted to make a complete review and inspection of the physical, legal, economic and environmental condition of the Property, including, without limitation, any leases and contracts affecting the Property, books and records maintained by Seller or its agents relating to the Property, pest control matters, soil condition, asbestos, PCB, hazardous waste, toxic substance or other environmental matters, compliance with building, health, safety, land use and zoning laws, regulations and orders, plans and specifications, structural, life safety, HVAC and other building system and engineering characteristics, traffic patterns, and all other information pertaining to the Property.

2.3 Conduct of Inspections.

 

(a) Inspections in General. During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser, its agents, and employees shall have the right to enter upon the Property for the purpose of making non-invasive inspections at Purchaser’s sole risk, cost and expense. Before any such entry and upon Seller’s request, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a certificate of insurance naming Seller as an additional insured and with an insurer and insurance limits (Minimum $1,000,000) and coverage reasonably satisfactory to Seller. All of such entries upon the Property shall be at reasonable times during normal business hours and after at least 24 hours prior notice to Seller or Seller’s agent, and Seller or Seller’s agent shall have the right to accompany Purchaser during any activities performed by Purchaser on the Property. Purchaser shall not unreasonably disturb the tenants on the Property. If any inspection or test disturbs the Property, Purchaser will restore the Property to the same condition as existed before the inspection or test. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and Seller’s shareholders, directors, officers, tenants, agents, contractors and employees and the Property from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, claims, or liabilities arising out of or in connection with any entry or inspections performed by Purchaser, its agents or representatives; provided, however, such indemnity shall not apply to any losses, costs, damages, claims or liabilities as a result of (i) the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or Seller’s shareholders, directors, officers, tenants, agents, contractors and employees or (ii) a condition existing at the Property prior to any entry by Purchaser onto the Property, except to the extent such pre-existing condition was negligently or knowingly worsened by any act of Purchaser, its agents or contractors. This indemnity shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement for a period of nine (9) months.

 

(b)            Environmental Inspections. The inspections under Paragraph 2.2 may include a non-invasive Phase I environmental inspection of the Property (to be paid for by Seller as set forth in Paragraph 6.8) but no Phase II environmental inspection or other invasive inspection or sampling of soil or materials, including without limitation construction materials, either as part of the Phase I inspection or any other inspection, shall be performed without the prior written consent of Seller, which may be withheld in its reasonable discretion, and if consented to by Seller, the proposed scope of work and the party who will perform the work shall be subject to Seller’s reasonable review and approval.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller’s consent shall not be required with respect to a customary and reasonable Phase I environmental audit and code and zoning compliance review of the Property.

 

(c)               Contact with Tenants and Governmental Authorities. Purchaser shall have the right to contact any Tenant or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Property.

2.4 Termination During Due Diligence Period. If Purchaser determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, for any reason or for no reason, that the Property is unacceptable for Purchaser’s purposes, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving to Seller notice of termination before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Upon receipt of Purchaser’s notice of termination, the Escrow Agent shall immediately refund the Earnest Money to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further rights or liabilities hereunder except for those provisions which survive the termination of this Agreement.

2.5 Purchaser’s Reliance on its Investigations. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and except for Seller’s representations and warranties in Paragraph 8.1 and the warranties of title in the deed and assignment of leases and contracts and bill of sale delivered at the Closing (“Seller’s Warranties”), this sale is made and will be made without representation, covenant, or warranty of any kind (whether express, implied, or, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, statutory) by Seller. As a material part of the consideration for this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to accept the Property on an “As is” and “Where is” basis, with all faults and any and all latent and patent defects, and except for Seller’s Warranties, no warranty or representation is being herein made by Seller as to (a) fitness for any particular purpose, (b) merchantability, (c) design, (d) quality, (e) condition, (f) operation or income, (g) compliance with drawings or specifications, (h) absence of defects, (i) absence of hazardous or toxic substances, (j) absence of faults, (k) flooding, or (1) compliance with laws and regulations including, without limitation, those relating to health, safety, and the environment. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has entered into this Agreement with the intention of making and relying upon its own investigation of the physical, environmental, economic use, compliance, and legal condition of the Property and that Purchaser is not now relying, and will not later rely, upon any representations and warranties made by Seller or anyone acting or claiming to act, by, through or under or on Seller’s behalf concerning the Property, except for Seller’s Warranties. The provisions of this Paragraph 2.5 shall survive indefinitely any closing or termination of this Agreement and shall not be merged into the closing documents.

ARTICLE 3: TITLE AND SURVEY REVIEW

 

3.1 Title Review. Within five (5) days after the Date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall order, at Seller’s cost and expense, (i) an ALTA Extended Coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance and contain the following title endorsements: Comprehensive and 3.1 zoning with parking and loading dock (the “Title Policy”) and (ii) a photocopy of (or hyperlink to) all documents (“Title Documents”) describing all title exceptions shown on the title commitment. Additionally, Seller shall order, at its sole cost and expense, a currently dated plat of survey certified to Purchaser, Purchaser’s lender (if any), Seller and the Title Company and prepared in accordance with the most recent standards for ALTA\ACSM Land Title Surveys, jointly established and adopted by ALTA and ACSM, including Table A items 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7(a), 7(b)(i), 8, 9, 10, 11(a), 11(b) 13,14 and 16-20 (the “Updated Survey”). The Updated Survey shall further list all schedule B items noted in the title commitment, plot the same or state whether or not each affects the Property. Seller shall provide the Updated Survey to Purchaser no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.

3.2 Title Objections. Purchaser may advise Seller in writing and in reasonable detail, not later than the ten (10) days following the receipt of the title commitment, the Title Documents and the Updated Survey, what exceptions, if any, are not acceptable to Purchaser (the “Title Objections”). Purchaser may object to the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined), and Seller shall have five (5) days after receipt of Purchaser’s Title Objections to give Purchaser notice that (a) Seller will remove any Title Objections from title (or, if acceptable to Purchaser, in its reasonable judgment, afford the Title Company necessary information or certifications to permit it to insure over such exceptions) or (b) Seller elects not to cause such exceptions to be removed or insured over. Seller’s failure to provide notice to Purchaser as to any Title Objection within such five (5) day period shall be deemed an election by Seller not to remove the Title Objection. If Seller so notifies or is deemed to have notified that Seller will not remove or insure over any or all of the Title Objections, Purchaser, as its sole remedy, shall have a period of five (5) days thereafter to determine whether (i) to proceed with the purchase and take the Property subject to such exceptions or (ii) to terminate this Agreement. Purchaser’s failure to give Seller notice shall be deemed to be an election by Purchaser under clause (i).

9
 

 

 

3.3 Permitted Exceptions. “Permitted Exceptions” shall include and refer to any zoning ordinances affecting the Property, the lien of ad valorem taxes for the calendar year of the Closing Date which are not due and payable as of the Closing Date and those matters listed on the Title Policy, as hereinafter defined, to which Purchaser has no objection or is deemed to have waived objection in accordance with Paragraph 3.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall remove at Seller’s sole cost and expense on or prior to the Closing Date and there shall not be treated as Permitted Exceptions any liens for monetary obligations voluntarily incurred by Seller (excluding any general or special assessments that are paid in installments to the extent not required to be paid as of the Closing Date) that are not assumed by Purchaser (for such purposes, all assessments collected with ad valorem real estate taxes shall be assumed by Purchaser and represent Permitted Exceptions), including, but not limited to, any deeds of trust covering the Property which secure any financing, any mechanic’s or material’s liens against the Property unless and to the extent of work done by or on behalf of Purchaser, any tax or judgment liens against Seller and the Property and any other title exception which is capable of being removed by payment of money.

3.4 Affidavits. Seller shall execute any commercially reasonable affidavits or indemnifications in connection with the issuance of Purchaser’s Title Policy, including, but not limited to, customary affidavits in form reasonably satisfactory to Seller as to authority, the rights of tenants in occupancy, the involvement of real estate brokers in the sale of the Property and the status of mechanics’ liens.

3.5 If any additional exceptions to title or survey are disclosed after the issuance of the initial title commitment (“New Title Objections”), the parties shall address the New Title Objections in the same manner provided above in Paragraph 3.3 but subject to the times frames as set forth below under this Paragraph 3.5 so that if Purchaser disapproves any of the New Title Objections, Seller shall have three (3) days to notify Purchaser in writing of its inability or unwillingness to remove such exceptions. If Seller does not provide such written notice, Seller shall be obligated to cause such matter to be removed prior to the Closing Date. In the event Seller shall so notify Purchaser within said period, Purchaser, by written notice to Seller no later than five (5) days thereafter, may do one of the following: (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event, the Earnest Money will be returned to Purchaser, and neither party will have any further liabilities or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, except the obligations which shall expressly survive such termination; or (ii) waive such exceptions and proceed with the transaction contemplated herein. Closing may be extended by either party if necessary to allow for the parties to benefit from the full time frames set forth in this Paragraph 3.5.

ARTICLE 4: OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS

4.1 Ongoing Operations. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller shall carry on its business and activities relating to the Property substantially in the same manner as it did before the Date of this Agreement and in compliance with all applicable laws, codes, statutes and governmental rules, regulations and requirements. Seller shall (a) keep all existing insurance policies affecting the Property in full force and effect, (b) not make any material alterations to the Property without first obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent, except to the extent such alterations are required by law or under any Lease and (c) not sell, assign or convey any right, title or interest whatsoever in or to the Property, or create or knowingly permit to attach any lien, security interest, easement, encumbrance, charge or condition affecting the Property.

4.2 Performance under Leases and Service Contracts. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller will perform its obligations under the Leases and Service Contracts (as defined herein) and other agreements that may affect the Property.

4.3 New Contracts.

4.4 Leasing Arrangements. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller shall obtain Purchaser’s consent, which Purchaser shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay, before entering into any Lease, amendment, expansion, or renewal. Purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to any such Lease, amendment, expansion, or renewal if it has not notified Seller as to Purchaser’s rejection of such Lease, amendment, expansion or renewal within three (3) business days after its receipt of Seller’s written request for consent, together with a description of the pertinent business terms of the Lease, amendment, expansion, or renewal. At Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller to the extent provided in Paragraphs 7.2 and 7.6 for commissions and the cost of tenant and related landlord improvements paid by Seller with respect to Leases that were entered into pursuant to this Paragraph 4.4 and shall assume in writing Seller’s obligation under such commission agreements and contracts for tenant and related landlord improvements with respect to such Leases that were entered into pursuant to this Paragraph 4.4 after the Date of this Agreement.

11
 

 

 

4.5 Damage or Condemnation. Risk of loss resulting from any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding which is commenced or has been threatened before the Closing, and risk of loss to the Property due to fire, flood or any other cause before the Closing, shall remain with Seller. If before the Closing the Property shall be materially damaged, or if the Property or any material portion thereof shall be subjected to a bona fide written threat of condemnation or any proceedings, judicial, administrative or otherwise filed by a governmental authority having power of eminent domain, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given within five (5) business days after Purchaser learns of the material details of the damage or taking, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser. If the Closing Date is within the aforesaid five (5) business day period, then Closing shall be extended to the next business day following the end of said five (5) business day period. If no such election is made, and in any event if the damage is not material, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the purchase contemplated herein, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, shall be effected with no further adjustment, and upon the Closing of this purchase, (i) Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Initial Purchase Price Payment in the amount of any deductibles under Seller’s insurance policies in addition to a credit in the amount of any award and/or insurance proceeds that Seller has received prior to Closing, and (ii) Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to any awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking, and Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser any insurance proceeds that, after Closing, be made for such damage or destruction. For the purposes of this paragraph, the phrases “material damage” and “materially damaged” means (a) damage costing in excess of Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) to repair, whether or not such damage is covered by insurance, (b) damage which causes a material loss to the income generated by the Property or (c) damage which permits a Tenant to terminate its Lease.

4.6 Tenant Estoppels. Seller shall use good faith efforts to secure and deliver to Purchaser, no later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, estoppel certificates for all Leases (including from Lease guarantors) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C or such form as may be required by the applicable Leases (hereinafter the “Tenant Estoppels”). Additionally, Seller shall use good faith efforts to obtain estoppel certificates reasonably acceptable to Purchaser from all parties to any reciprocal and/or operating easement agreements encumbering the Property, if any, by the Closing Date (the “REA Estoppels”).

ARTICLE 9: DEFAULT AND DAMAGES

9.1 Default by Purchaser. If Purchaser shall default in its obligation to purchase the Property pursuant to this Agreement and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) days after Purchaser’s receipt of notice of such default, Purchaser agrees that Seller shall have the right to require the Escrow Agent to deliver the Earnest Money to Seller as liquidated damages to compensate Seller for time spent, labor and services performed, and the loss of its bargain. Purchaser and Seller agree that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to affix damages if Purchaser so defaults and that the Earnest Money, together with the interest thereon, represents a reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages. Seller agrees to accept the Earnest Money as Seller’s total damages and relief hereunder if Purchaser defaults in its obligation to close hereunder beyond the applicable cure period. Seller’s retention or receipt of the Earnest Money is intended not as a penalty but as full liquidated damages. If Purchaser does so default beyond the applicable cure period, this Agreement shall be terminated and Purchaser shall have no further right, title, or interest in or to the Property. Purchaser hereby waives and releases any right to, and hereby covenants that it shall not sue the Seller or seek or claim a refund of said Earnest Money for any part thereof on the grounds it is unreasonable in amount and exceeding Seller’s actual damages or that its retention by Seller constitutes a penalty and not an agreed upon and reasonable liquidated damages.

9.2 Default by Seller. In the event Seller fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement for any reason and such failure continues for a period of five (5) days after Seller’s receipt of notice of such failure, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to elect one of the following: (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to the return by the Escrow Agent to Purchaser of the Earnest Money and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its actual out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred in connection with its contemplated acquisition of the Property in an amount not to exceed $50,000.00, or (b) to bring a suit for specific performance provided that any suit for specific performance must be brought within 180 days of Seller’s default, to the extent permitted by law, Purchaser waiving the right to bring suit at any later date. Purchaser hereby waives any other rights or remedies; provided, however, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 9.3 below, Seller shall remain liable for any and all damages arising as a result of Seller’s breach of Seller’s Warranties or if specific performance is not available to Purchaser due to Seller’s conveyance of the Property or encumbrance thereof. This Agreement confers no present right, title or interest in the Property to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees not to file a lis pendens or other similar notice against the Property except in connection with, and after, the filing of a suit for specific performance.

23
 

 

 

9.3 Limitations.

(a)             Limitation Period. Seller’s Warranties and Seller’s covenants, indemnities, warranties and representations contained in any document executed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall survive Purchaser’s purchase of the Property only for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the last day of the twelfth (12th) full calendar month after the Closing Date (the “Limitation Period”).

(b)            Disclosure. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, if Seller becomes aware during the pendency of this Agreement prior to Closing of any matters which make any of Seller’s Warranties untrue, Seller shall promptly disclose such matters to Purchaser in writing. In the event that Seller so discloses any matters which make any of Seller’s Warranties untrue in any material respect or in the event that Purchaser otherwise becomes aware during the pendency of this Agreement prior to Closing of any matters which make any of Seller’s Warranties untrue in any material respect, Seller shall bear no liability for such matters (provided that such untruth is not the result of Seller’s breach of any express covenant set forth in this Agreement), but Purchaser shall have the right to elect in writing on or before the Closing Date, (i) to waive such matters and complete the purchase of the Property without reduction of the Initial Purchase Price Payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) as to any matters disclosed following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, to terminate this Agreement, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to the return by the Escrow Agent to Purchaser of the Earnest Money.

(c)             Purchaser’s Knowledge. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, if, prior to Closing, Purchaser obtains actual knowledge that any of Seller’s Warranties are materially inaccurate or incorrect and Purchaser nonetheless proceeds with Closing, Seller shall have no liability for any such materially inaccurate or incorrect representation or warranty.

24
 

 

 

ARTICLE 10: EARNEST MONEY PROVISIONS

10.1 Investment and Use of Funds. At Purchaser’s option, the Escrow Agent shall invest the Earnest Money in government insured interest-bearing accounts satisfactory to Purchaser and shall not commingle the Earnest Money with any funds of the Escrow Agent or others. If the Closing under this Agreement occurs, the Escrow Agent shall apply the Earnest Money to the Initial Purchase Price Payment on the Closing Date.

10.2 Termination. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, upon not less than five (5) business days’ prior written notice to the Escrow Agent and the other party, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to the party requesting the same; provided, however, that if the other party shall, within said five (5) business day period, deliver to the requesting party and the Escrow Agent a written notice that it disputes the claim to the Earnest Money, Escrow Agent shall retain the Earnest Money until it receives written instructions executed by both Seller and Purchaser as to the disposition and disbursement of the Earnest Money, or until ordered by final court order, decree or judgment, which is not subject to appeal, to deliver the Earnest Money to a particular party, in which event the Earnest Money shall be delivered in accordance with such notice, instruction, order, decree or judgment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Earnest Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and the Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to provide notice to Seller or delay delivering the Earnest Money to Purchaser for the above-referenced five (5) business day period.

10.3 Interpleader. Seller and Purchaser mutually agree that in the event of any controversy regarding the Earnest Money, unless mutual written instructions are received by the Escrow Agent directing the Earnest Money’s disposition, the Escrow Agent shall not take any action, but instead shall await the disposition of any proceeding relating to the Earnest Money or, at the Escrow Agent’s option, the Escrow Agent may interplead all parties and deposit the Earnest Money with a court of competent jurisdiction in which event the Escrow Agent may recover all of its court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Seller or Purchaser, whichever loses in any such interpleader action, shall be solely obligated to pay such costs and fees of the Escrow Agent, as well as the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

25
 

 

 

10.4 Liability of Escrow Agent. 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 loss, cost or expense incurred by Seller or Purchaser resulting from the Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting the Escrow Agent’s scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, 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.
