Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the term “Property” shall expressly exclude any Rents (as such term is defined in Section 10.1 hereof) or any other amounts payable by tenants under the Leases for periods prior to the Close of Escrow, any Rent or other amounts payable by any former tenants of the Property, and any judgments, stipulations, orders, or settlements with any tenants under the Leases or former tenants of the Property (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excluded Property”) except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in Article 10 hereof.
3. | PURCHASE PRICE AND DEPOSIT. |
3.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property shall be One Hundred Thirty Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($130,250,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”).
3
3.2 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be payable as follows:
3.2.1 Within two (2) business days after the execution of this Agreement by Buyer and Seller, and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness hereof, Buyer shall deposit in escrow with Escrow Holder, in cash or current funds, the sum of Thirteen Million and 00/100 Dollars ($13,000,000.00) (the “Deposit”). Immediately upon Escrow Holder’s receipt of the Deposit (the “Opening of Escrow”), Escrow Holder shall be instructed by Buyer periodically to invest the Deposit in Treasury Bills or other short-term U.S. Government obligations, in repurchase contracts for the same or in a federally-insured money market account. All interest earned on the Deposit will belong to Buyer (subject to the terms of Section 13.1 below). Upon expiration of the Due Diligence Period, if Buyer has not previously terminated this Agreement by its terms, then the Deposit shall become nonrefundable subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, satisfaction of all conditions precedent for Buyer’s benefit hereunder.
3.2.2 Provided all the conditions in Section 7.1 hereof have been satisfied or waived in writing by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion, Buyer shall deposit in cash or current funds with Escrow Holder no later than 1:00 p.m. (California time) on or prior to the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.1(b) hereof) an amount equal to the Purchase Price less the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon plus or minus applicable prorations pursuant to Section 10 hereof.
3.3 Disposition of Deposit Upon Failure to Close. If the Close of Escrow fails to occur solely due to Buyer’s default under this Agreement (all of the conditions to Buyer’s obligation to close having been satisfied or waived in writing by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion), then the disposition of the Deposit shall be governed by Section 13.1 hereof; if the Close of Escrow fails to occur due to Seller’s default under this Agreement (all of the conditions to Seller’s obligation to close having been satisfied or waived), then the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon shall promptly be refunded to Buyer; and if the Close of Escrow fails to occur due to the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 hereof other than as a result of Buyer’s or Seller’s default under this Agreement, then the disposition of the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon shall be governed by Section 9.3 hereof.
3.4 Independent Contract Consideration. Additionally, at the same time as the deposit of the Deposit with the Escrow Holder, Buyer shall deliver to Seller in cash the sum of One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00) (the “Independent Contract Consideration”) which amount has been bargained for and agreed to as consideration for Buyer’s exclusive option to purchase the Real Property and the right to inspect the Real Property as provided herein, and for Seller’s execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Independent Contract Consideration is in addition to and independent of all other consideration provided in this Agreement, and is nonrefundable in all events.
4
4. | PROPERTY INFORMATION; TITLE REVIEW; INSPECTIONS AND DUE DILIGENCE; TENANT ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES; CONFIDENTIALITY. |
4.1 Property Information. Seller shall make available to Buyer within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, to the extent in Seller’s possession or at Seller’s local Property manager’s office, the following, all of which shall be made available for review and copying (at Buyer’s cost and expense) on an electronic data site or at Seller’s local Property manager’s office (collectively, the “Property Information”):
(a) the Leases;
(b) a current rent roll for the Real Property, indicating rents collected, scheduled rents and concessions, delinquencies, and security deposits held (collectively, the “Rent Rolls”);
(c) the most current operating statements for the Real Property for the prior three (3) calendar years, if available (collectively, the “Operating Statements”);
(d) copies of the Contracts and the Construction Contract;
(e) existing land title surveys, if any, for the Real Property (collectively, the “Existing Surveys”); and
(f) any environmental, soils and/or engineering reports prepared for Seller or Seller’s predecessors.
Under no circumstances shall Buyer be entitled to review any appraisals relating to the Property or any internal financial audits relating to the Property.
4.2 Title and Survey Review; Title Policy.
4.2.1 Delivery of Title Report. Seller shall promptly request the Title Company to deliver to Buyer a preliminary title report or title commitment covering the Real Property (the “Title Report”), together with copies of all documents (collectively, the “Title Documents”) referenced in the Title Report. Buyer, at its option and expense, may (a) obtain a new survey for the Real Property or (b) cause one or more of the Existing Surveys to be updated or recertified. Buyer understands and acknowledges that if Buyer elects to obtain a new survey or an updated or recertified survey for the Real Property the completion and/or delivery of the surveys or updated or recertified surveys shall not be a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer further acknowledges that Seller makes no representations or warranties, and Seller shall have no responsibility, with respect to the completeness of the Title Documents made available to Buyer by the Title Company.
4.2.2 Title Review and Cure. Commencing from the date of this Agreement and continuing through and including the Title Review Period, Buyer shall have the right to approve or disapprove the condition of title to the Real Property. On or before the expiration of the Title Review Period, Buyer shall deliver to Seller and Escrow Holder written notice
5
(“Buyer’s Title Notice”) of Buyer’s approval or disapproval of the matters reflected in the Title Report and any Existing Survey; Buyer’s Title Notice delivered by Buyer to Seller must state that it is a “Buyer’s Title Notice being delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2.2 of the Purchase Agreement.” The failure of Buyer to deliver to Seller Buyer’s Title Notice on or before the expiration of the Title Review Period shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s approval of the condition of title to the Real Property as reflected on the Title Report and the Existing Surveys and any new survey obtained by Buyer. If Buyer disapproves any matter of title shown in the Title Report or Existing Survey for the Real Property prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate, the parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement (except pursuant to any provisions which, by their terms, survive a termination of this Agreement), the Deposit (and any interest accrued thereon) shall be immediately returned to Buyer and Buyer shall immediately return all Property Information to Seller or destroy the same. Buyer shall have been deemed to have approved any title exception that Seller is not obligated to remove and to which either Buyer did not object as provided above, or to which Buyer did object, but with respect to which Buyer did not terminate this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, Seller covenants and agrees to remove (or cause to be removed) from the Property (which obligation shall be deemed satisfied if the same is insured over and the amount secured by any of the instruments referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) below have been paid and the holders of the same are obligated to cause the same to be released from the Property) concurrently with the Close of Escrow (i) all deeds of trust, mortgages and/or voluntary liens executed by Seller or expressly assumed by Seller in writing and recorded against the Real Property, and (ii) any involuntary monetary liens (other than mechanic’s liens that are considered Permitted Exceptions, or any other monetary liens for which Buyer receives a credit at Closing) which are of an ascertainable amount, and do not exceed $500,000 in the aggregate and are capable of being removed at Closing upon the payment of no more than $500,000 in the aggregate.
In addition, if any supplemental title commitment or title update issued subsequent to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period contains exceptions for recorded documents that are not set forth in the Title Report (but expressly excluding any exceptions arising out of any matters disclosed on any new or existing survey(s) for the Property) (“New Exceptions”), Buyer will be entitled to object to the New Exceptions by delivery of a notice of objections to Seller on or before the date that is five (5) days following Buyer’s receipt of such title supplement or update. If Buyer fails to deliver to Seller a notice of objections on or before such date, Buyer will be deemed to have waived any objection to the New Exceptions, and the New Exceptions will be included as Permitted Exceptions. Seller will have not less than three (3) business days from the receipt of Buyer’s notice (and, if necessary, Seller may extend the Closing Date to provide for such three (3) business day period and for three (3) business days following such period for Buyer’s response), within which time Seller may, but is under no obligation to remove the objectionable New Exceptions. If, within the three (3) business day period, Seller or the Title Company does not (or does not agree to) remove the objectionable New Exceptions, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller no later than three (3) business days following expiration of the three (3) business day cure period. If Buyer terminates this Agreement, the Deposit plus all interest accrued thereon will be promptly returned to Buyer, and the parties shall be released from all further obligations under this
6
Agreement (except those that expressly survive termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof). If Buyer fails to terminate this Agreement in the manner set forth above, the New Exceptions (except those that Seller and/or the Title Company has removed or agreed to remove) will be included as Permitted Exceptions.
4.2.3 Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. Subject to the terms hereof, as a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow, the Title Company shall have issued and delivered to Buyer, or shall have committed to issue and deliver to Buyer, with respect to the Real Property, an ALTA Extended Coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (2006 Form) (the “Title Policy”) issued by the Title Company as of the date and time of the recording of the Deed (as such term is defined in Section 6.1 hereof) for the Real Property (provided, however, Buyer shall only be entitled to a “standard coverage” title policy if Buyer does not provide the Title Company with a current survey in form sufficient to permit the Title Company to issue the “Extended Coverage”, as and to the extent required by the Title Company to issue same), in the amount of the Purchase Price insuring Buyer as owner of good, marketable and indefeasible fee simple title to the Real Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean and include (a) any lien to secure payment of real estate taxes, including special assessments, not delinquent, (b) all matters which could be revealed or disclosed by a physical inspection or a survey of the Real Property and matters affecting the Real Property which are created by or with the written consent of Buyer or which do not materially and deleteriously affect Buyer’s contemplated use of the Real Property, (c) the rights of the tenants, as tenants only, without any right to purchase the Property, under the Leases affecting the Real Property, (d) all exceptions disclosed by the Title Report relating to the Real Property and which are approved or deemed approved by Buyer in accordance with Section 4.2.2 hereof, (e) any exception for liens (or potential liens) for services, labor or materials heretofore or hereafter furnished to the Property for which Buyer is entitled to a credit at Closing pursuant to this Agreement, for which Buyer is expressly responsible for payment under the terms of this Agreement, and/or which arises from any services, labor or materials contracted for by any tenant at the Property and with respect to which any such tenant is responsible for payment under the terms of its Lease, and (f) all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and governmental regulations (including, without limitation, those relating to building, zoning and land use) affecting the development, use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Real Property.
4.3 Inspections; Due Diligence Period.
4.3.1 Inspections in General. Commencing from the Effective Date and continuing through and including the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer, its agents, and employees shall have a limited license (the “License”) to enter upon the Real Property for the purpose of making non-invasive inspections at Buyer’s sole risk, cost and expense. Before any such entry, Buyer shall provide Seller with a certificate of insurance naming Seller as an additional insured and with an insurer and insurance limits and coverage reasonably satisfactory to Seller. All of such entries upon the Real Property shall be at reasonable times during normal business hours and after at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Seller or Seller’s agent, and Seller or Seller’s agent shall have the right to accompany Buyer during any activities performed by Buyer on the Real Property. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary
7
herein, Buyer shall have no right to inspect any of the occupied space in the Real Property, and Buyer shall not contact or speak to any of the tenants under the Leases, unless, in each case, Buyer provides Seller with no less than twenty-four (24) hours prior written notice of such intention and Seller or Seller’s representative has the opportunity to be present during such inspections and/or discussions with tenant; any discussions with tenants shall immediately cease at the tenant’s request and any discussions with tenants must be limited to their existing tenancy, the Property generally, and their premises, and may not involve any lease renegotiations unless approved by Indemnitee. Inspections by Buyer shall not interfere with the rights of tenants. If any inspection or test disturbs the Real Property, Buyer will restore the Real Property to substantially the same condition as existed before the Buyer’s inspection or test. Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold Seller, Seller’s trustees, officers, tenants, agents, contractors and employees and the Real Property harmless from and against any and all losses, actual out-of-pocket costs, damages, claims, or liabilities, including but not limited to, mechanics’ and materialmens’ liens and Seller’s reasonable out of pocket attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with Buyer’s, or its agents’, contractors’, employees’, or invitees’ entry upon or inspection of the Real Property; provided the foregoing shall not cover any claims and liabilities (a) to the extent caused by Seller or any indemnified party, or (b) relating to a pre-existing matter to the extent merely discovered and not exacerbated by Buyer. The License may be revoked by Seller at any time and shall in any event be deemed revoked upon termination of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 4.3.1 shall survive the Close of Escrow or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
4.3.2 Environmental Inspections. The inspections under Section 4.3.1 may include non-invasive Phase I environmental inspections of the Real Property, but no Phase II environmental inspections or other invasive inspections or sampling of soil or materials, including without limitation construction materials, either as part of the Phase I inspections or any other inspections, shall be performed without the prior written consent of Seller, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute 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 review and approval. At Seller’s request, and provided that Seller is not in default under this Agreement, Buyer shall deliver to Seller (at no cost to Seller) copies of any Phase II or other environmental reports to which Seller consents as provided above without representation or warranty and with the understanding that Seller will not be entitled to rely on same.
4.3.3 Termination During Due Diligence Period. If Buyer determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, that the Real Property is unacceptable for Buyer’s purposes, for any reason or no reason, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving to Seller notice of termination (“Termination Notice”) on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which event the Deposit and all interest thereon shall be immediately refunded to Buyer, Buyer shall immediately return all Property Information to Seller (or destroy same) and, except for those provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall have no further obligations hereunder. If Buyer determines to proceed with the purchase of the Property pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, then Buyer shall, on or prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, so notify Seller and Escrow Holder in writing
8
(an “Approval Notice”), in which case Buyer and Seller shall proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. If Buyer fails to deliver to Seller and Escrow Holder an Approval Notice (or does deliver a Termination Notice) on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period pursuant to this Section, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer shall receive an immediate return of the Deposit, together with interest thereon, Buyer shall return (or destroy) all Property Information to Seller, and neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except for those that expressly survive the termination hereof.
4.4 Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Seller shall endeavor to secure and deliver to Buyer by the Closing Date estoppel certificates for all Leases consistent with the information in the Rent Rolls and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D or such form as may be required under the applicable Leases, dated no earlier than the Effective Date, showing no material adverse matters not disclosed hereunder, will not have been modified in any substantive, adverse manner and shall not reflect any fact or statement that, if true, would result in the breach (in any material respect) of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller hereunder (each, a “Conforming Tenant Estoppel”). Notwithstanding the above, Seller shall request an estoppel certificate from each tenant, and shall deliver to Buyer each duly executed estoppel certificate (“Tenant Estoppel Certificate”) received promptly after receipt of same. Further notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, prior to Seller requesting an estoppel certificate from each tenant, Buyer shall have the right to review and point out any inconsistencies with the forms of leases or other property information provided to Buyer on the proposed estoppel certificates before they are sent by Seller to each tenant. If Buyer fails to provide comment to the proposed estoppel certificates within two (2) business days of Buyer’s receipt of such proposed estoppel certificates, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the proposed estoppel certificates. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer shall notify Seller within three (3) business days of receipt of a copy of any executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate of its approval or disapproval thereof, and the basis of such disapproval, if disapproved; the failure of Buyer to notify Seller within such three (3) business day period of its approval or disapproval of any executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate shall be deemed to be Buyer’s approval of the same. Buyer may terminate this Agreement upon two (2) business days written notice to Seller if, no less than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller fails to deliver to Buyer Conforming Tenant Estoppels (or Tenant Estoppel Certificates approved or deemed approved by Buyer), executed by tenants under Leases covering at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the leased square footage of the Real Property (including each of the Major Tenants).

Seller shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Contractor’s Certificate(s) to the extent any of the Construction Work remains unsatisfied or unpaid as the Closing Date, but the failure of Seller to obtain any such Contractor’s Certificate(s) shall not constitute a breach or default by Seller hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall impair Seller’s (or any Seller affiliate’s) or Buyer’s (or any Buyer affiliate’s) right to disclose information relating to this Agreement or the Property (a) to any due diligence representatives and/or consultants that are engaged by, work for or are acting on behalf of, any securities dealers and/or broker dealers evaluating Seller, Buyer, or their affiliates, (b) in connection with any filings (including any amendment or supplement to any S-11 filing) with governmental agencies (including the United States Securities and Exchange Commission) by any REIT holding an interest (direct or indirect) in Seller, and (c) to any broker/dealers in the Seller’s, Buyer’s or any REIT's broker/dealer network and any of the REIT’s or Seller’s or Buyer’s investors.

The key terms of the new and pending lease transactions (the “New and Pending Lease Transactions”) reflected on Schedule 1-1 and Schedule 1-2 attached hereto shall be deemed approved by Buyer for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, as to any new leases or lease amendments entered into with the tenants described on Schedule 1-1 and Schedule 1-2, if any, Buyer shall have the right to approve such new leases and/or lease amendments in its sole and absolute discretion.

Following the Effective Date, Seller will not enter into any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Real Property subsequent to the Close of Escrow, or amend, modify or terminate an existing contract (except contracts for usual and customary property management matters entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause on 30-days’ notice without the payment of a fee), without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which may be given or withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion; provided,
11
however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer’s consent shall not be required for any contracts required to enable Seller to comply with the terms of the Leases or zoning regulations or to the extent required to address any health or safety conditions at the Property (“Excluded Contracts”) (further provided that (i) Seller shall endeavor to give reasonably practicable notice to Buyer of Seller’s entering into any such Excluded Contracts and (ii) Buyer shall not be obligated to assume any such Excluded Contracts or be obligated to pay any amounts payable thereunder or in connection therewith).

Further and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller may not amend, extend, terminate, or otherwise exercise or waive any right or obligation under the Construction Contracts without Buyer’s prior written approval, which shall be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.

Buyer shall be deemed to have disapproved of any new lease or any Lease amendment, expansion, or renewal if it has not notified Seller specifying Buyer’s approval of same, within five (5) days after its receipt of Seller’s written request for consent, together with a copy of the Lease amendment, expansion, or renewal or the new lease. At the Close of Escrow, (a) Buyer shall reimburse Seller for commissions, legal fees, the cost of tenant improvements, and all other leasing costs (other than free rent) and expenses paid by Seller with respect to the New and Pending Lease Transactions that are actually entered into in accordance with this Agreement and listed on, and consistent with, Schedule 1-1 attached hereto, and with respect to all other Lease amendments, expansions or renewals or new leases that were entered into pursuant to this Section 5.3 (to the extent such leasing costs are set forth in such Lease amendment, expansion or renewal or new lease or otherwise disclosed to Buyer in writing at the time such new lease or lease amendment is entered into) between the Effective Date and the Close of Escrow, (b) Buyer shall be entitled to a credit towards the Purchase Price equal to the leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances (available to the applicable tenant from and after the Closing Date) (i) referred to in Schedule 1-2 attached hereto to the extent such transactions have been entered into and the amounts set forth on Schedule 1-2 attached hereto remain unpaid (or unutilized, as the case may be) as of the Close of Escrow, except Buyer shall not be entitled to a credit at Closing for any portion of the $235,170 tenant improvement allowance for Jefferson Apartment Group, LLC (which tenant improvement allowance is addressed in Section 5.3B below), and (ii) to the extent arising out of an agreement entered into by Seller and the same is not an item for which Seller is entitled to a credit under Schedule 1-1, and (c) at Close of Escrow, Buyer shall assume in writing (pursuant to the Assignment of Leases and Contracts and Bill of Sale) Seller’s obligations (whether arising before or after the Closing Date) under the
12
Leases referred to in Schedules 1-1 and 1-2 attached hereto (to the extent they have been entered into in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, other than obligations to pay leasing commissions and/or tenant improvement allowances in excess of amounts for which Buyer is receiving a credit, unless any such leasing commissions and/or tenant improvement allowances are set forth in Schedule 1-1 attached hereto), and all new leases and Lease amendments, expansions or renewals entered into in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 5.3(A) shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed through September 30, 2017.
(B) In addition, at the Close of Escrow, Seller shall withhold a portion of the Purchase Price (“Seller TI Escrow”) in the amount of $235,170 (or such lesser amount to the extent the tenant under the Jefferson Apartment Group Lease draws on any portion of the Unused TI Allowance (as such terms are defined below) prior to the Closing, and Seller provides reasonable evidence thereof to Buyer and Escrow Holder prior to Closing) (“Unused TI Allowance Funds”) representing the unused tenant improvement allowance (“Unused TI Allowance”) under the lease with Jefferson Apartment Group, LLC, encumbering the Property (the “Jefferson Apartment Group Lease”). Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Section 5.3, the Unused TI Allowance Funds shall be used to pay the incurred costs of the Unused TI Allowance in accordance with the terms of the Jefferson Apartment Group Lease. Following receipt of a request for disbursement (that is validly given) from the tenant under the Jefferson Apartment Group Lease of the Unused TI Allowance Funds, Buyer shall have the right to deliver a copy of such request (hereinafter referred to as a “Request”) to Seller and to Escrow Holder, and Escrow Holder shall, within two (2) business days following receipt of such Request, release the requested amount from the Seller TI Escrow to the tenant under the Jefferson Apartment Group Lease (or if previously funded by Buyer to such tenant, to the Buyer) upon written notice to Buyer and Seller of such release. If any Unused TI Allowance Funds remain in the Seller TI Escrow on January 2, 2018, and is not subject of a Request delivered to Escrow Holder prior to such date, then Escrow Holder shall inform Buyer and Seller thereof in writing and Buyer shall have one (1) business day to submit a Request. After such one (1) business day has elapsed, any such amount that is not the subject of a previously delivered Request shall be returned by Escrow Holder to Seller within two (2) business days after such date. Seller and Buyer agree to enter into an escrow agreement (“Escrow Agreement”) with Escrow Holder at the Close of Escrow, in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6, to establish and govern the Seller TI Escrow, consistent with the provisions of this Section 5.3. The provisions of this Section 5.3(B) shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.
5.4 Damage or Condemnation. Risk of loss resulting from any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding which is commenced or has been threatened against the Real Property before the Close of Escrow, and risk of loss to the Real Property due to fire, flood or any other cause before the Close of Escrow, shall remain with Seller. If before the Close of Escrow the Real Property or any portion thereof shall be materially damaged, or if the Real Property or any material portion thereof shall be subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation or shall become the subject of any proceedings, judicial, administrative or otherwise, with respect to the taking by eminent domain or condemnation thereof, then Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of such event and Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement by delivering
13
written notice of such election to Seller within five (5) business days after Buyer learns of the damage or taking, in which event Buyer shall no longer be obligated to purchase, and Seller shall no longer be obligated to sell, the Real Property pursuant to this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate and Buyer shall be entitled to an immediate return of the Deposit, together with interest thereon, and, except for those provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive the termination hereof pursuant to the terms thereof, the parties hereto shall have no further obligations hereunder. If the Closing Date is within the aforesaid 5-business day period, then the Close of Escrow shall be extended to the second (2nd) business day following the end of said 5-business day period. If Buyer makes no such election to terminate this Agreement, and in any event if the damage is not material or a material portion of the Property not taken, 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 Close of Escrow, Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Buyer 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 Buyer any insurance proceeds that may thereafter be made for such damage or destruction, and give Buyer a credit at the Close of Escrow for any deductible under such policies. For purposes of this Section 5.4, the phrase(s) (i) “Material damage” or “Materially damaged” means damage (1) reasonably exceeding three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price of the Real Property or (2) which is not fully insured and for which Buyer will not receive, at Seller's election, a credit in the amount of the uninsured portion of such damage at Closing, (3) which gives tenants under Leases for 10,000 square feet or more in the aggregate (individually or collectively, as applicable, a “Termination Tenant”) the right to terminate their respective Leases, (4) which adversely affects access to or from the Property via public rights of way on a permanent basis, adversely affects access to and/or availability of parking, or causes the Property to be in violation of zoning requirements affecting the Property, and (ii) “material portion” means any portion of the Real Property that has a “fair market value” exceeding three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price of the Real Property, or such portion, the taking of which (1) gives Termination Tenants the right to terminate their respective Leases, (2) adversely affects access to or from the Property via public rights of way on a permanent basis, or adversely affects access to and/or availability of parking, (3) causes the Property to be in violation of zoning requirements affecting the Property, or (4) materially adversely affects the utility or value of the Property. The provisions of this Section 5.4 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.
5.5 Rights and Remedies Under Leases. From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall not exercise any rights or remedies under or in respect of any Lease, including without limitation applying the amount of any tenant security deposits toward any liability incurred by Seller by reason of any default by any tenant under a Lease, in each case without Buyer’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion.

Buyer shall apply Rent from tenants that are collected after the Close of Escrow first to Rents which are due to Buyer after the Close of Escrow, then to rents attributable to the month in which the Close of Escrow occurs and lastly to Rents which were due to Seller prior to the Close of Escrow. Any prepaid Rents for the period following the Closing Date shall be paid over by Seller to Buyer. Buyer will invoice tenants for a period of three (3) months following the Close of Escrow (and shall not be required to take any other action (including without limitation any action to institute legal proceedings or eviction or threaten to institute legal proceedings or eviction)) for any Rents applicable to the period before the Close of Escrow including, without limitation, sending to tenants bills for the payment of past due Rents. In addition to the foregoing, Seller may not pursue collection of any Rents that were past due as of the Closing Date, which means, among other things, that Seller shall have no right to (or to threaten to) terminate any Lease or disturb or terminate any tenant’s occupancy under any Lease in connection therewith. In addition, Buyer shall not receive a credit towards the Purchase Price for any free-rent periods under any new Leases or Lease Amendments entered into after the Effective Date in accordance with this Agreement, but shall be entitled to a credit for free rental periods in existence after the Close of Escrow under existing Leases signed by Seller. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed through September 30, 2017.
10.2 Operating Costs and Additional Rent Reconciliation. Seller, as landlord under the Leases, is currently collecting from tenants under the Leases additional rent to cover taxes, insurance, utilities (to the extent not paid directly by tenants), common area maintenance and other operating costs and expenses (collectively, “Operating Costs”) in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Real Property. To the extent that any additional rent (including, without limitation, estimated payments for Operating Costs) is paid by tenants to the landlord under the Leases based on an estimated payment basis (monthly, quarterly, or otherwise) for which a future reconciliation of actual Operating Costs to estimated payments is required to be performed at the end of a reconciliation period, Buyer and Seller shall make an adjustment at the Close of Escrow for the applicable reconciliation period (or periods, if the Leases do not have a common reconciliation period) based on a comparison of the actual Operating Costs to the estimated payments at the Close of Escrow. If, as of the Close of Escrow, Seller has received additional rent payments in excess of the amount that tenants will be required
21
to pay, based on the actual Operating Costs as of the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall receive a credit in the amount of such excess. If, as of the Close of Escrow, Seller has received additional rent payments that are less than the amount that tenants would be required to pay based on the actual Operating Costs as of the Close of Escrow, Seller shall receive a credit in the amount of such deficiency; provided, however, Seller shall not be entitled to the portion, if any, of such deficiency for which Seller received a credit at the Close of Escrow under clause (b) of Section 10.3 hereof. Operating Costs that are not payable by tenants either directly or reimbursable under the Leases shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer and shall be reasonably estimated based on the most recent actual bills available by the parties if final bills are not available, and reprorated promptly following receipt of final bills (provided, however, that such reparation must occur prior to or on September 30, 2017, but not thereafter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, past due amounts required by tenants in order to pay for or reimburse landlord for Operating Costs shall be treated for all purposes in the same manner as past due rents are treated in Section 10.1 above. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed through September 30, 2017.
10.3 Taxes and Assessments. Real estate taxes and assessments imposed by any governmental authority (“Taxes”) with respect to the Real Property for the relevant tax year in which the Real Property is being sold and that are not yet due and payable or that have not yet been paid and that are not (and will not be) reimbursable by tenants under the Leases (or under leases entered into after the Close of Escrow for vacant space existing at the Close of Escrow) as Operating Costs (or for which such tenant is in default) shall be prorated as of the Close of Escrow based upon the most recent ascertainable assessed values and tax rates and based upon the number of days Buyer and Seller will have owned the Real Property during such relevant tax year. Seller shall receive a credit for any Taxes paid by Seller and applicable to (a) any period after the Close of Escrow, and (b) with respect to any such Taxes payable for any period before the Close of Escrow to the extent such amounts are reimbursable as Operating Costs by (i) existing tenants under the Leases and not yet received from such tenants, or (ii) future tenants that may execute leases covering space in the Real Property that is vacant as of the Close of Escrow. Prior to or on September 30, 2017, Buyer and Seller shall re-prorate real estate tax reimbursements based on the actual, final numbers (to the extent available) and reconcile any adjustments due Seller or Buyer (as applicable) and Seller and Buyer shall remit to the other any amount owed to the other on account of such reconciliation on or before September 30, 2017. If, as of the Closing Date, Seller is protesting or has notified Buyer, in writing, that it has elected to protest any Taxes for the Real Property, which Seller may not do for any tax year occurring after the tax year in which the Closing Date occurs, then Buyer agrees that Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation), after the Closing Date, to continue such protest. In such case, any Taxes paid by Buyer after the Closing Date with respect to the Real Property shall be paid under protest and Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of any payments of Taxes made by Buyer with respect to the Real Property. Buyer further agrees to cooperate, at no cost or expense to Buyer, with all reasonable requests of Seller and execute any documents reasonably requested by Seller in connection with such protest so long as same does not expose or potentially expose Buyer to any cost or liability. As to the Real Property, any tax savings received (“Tax Refunds”) for the relevant tax year under any protest, whether filed by Seller or Buyer, shall be prorated between the parties based upon the number of days, if any, Seller and Buyer respectively owned the Real
22
Property during such relevant tax year after netting out all reasonable out of pocket fees and expenses paid to any third party for processing such protest, including reasonable out of pocket attorneys’ fees. Seller shall have the obligation to refund to any tenants in good standing as of the date of such Tax Refund, any portion of such Tax Refund paid to Seller which may be owing to such tenants, which payment shall be paid to Buyer within fifteen (15) business days of delivery to Seller by Buyer of written confirmation of such tenants’ entitlement to such Tax Refunds and Seller shall cooperate to provide all information in its (or Property manager’s) possession reasonably necessary to make the appropriate calculations hereunder. Buyer shall have the obligation to refund to tenants in good standing as of the date of such Tax Refund, any portion of such Tax Refund paid to it which may be owing to such tenants and Seller shall cooperate to provide all information in its (or Property manager’s) possession reasonably necessary to make the appropriate calculations hereunder. Seller and Buyer agree to notify the other in writing of any receipt of a Tax Refund within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of such Tax Refund. To the extent either party obtains a Tax Refund, a portion of which is owed to the other party, the receiving party shall deliver the Tax Refund to the other party within fifteen (15) business days of its receipt. If Buyer or Seller fail to pay such amount(s) to the other as and when due, such amount(s) shall bear interest from the date any such amount is due to Seller or Buyer, as applicable, until paid at the lesser of (a) twelve percent (12%) per annum and (b) the maximum amount permitted by law. The obligations set forth herein shall survive the Close of Escrow until September 30, 2017, and Buyer agrees that Buyer will cause any transferee to assume the obligations set forth herein.
10.4 Leasing Commissions, Tenant Improvements and Contracts. At Close of Escrow, Buyer shall assume (pursuant to the Assignment of Leases and Contracts and Bill of Sale) the obligation to pay all (a) leasing costs that are due or become due prior to the Closing Date to the extent that the same (i) arise from a new lease or any Lease amendment, extension or expansion hereafter entered into by Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5.3 above) to the extent disclosed in the new Lease or any such Lease amendment, extension or expansion or otherwise disclosed to Buyer in writing at the time the same is entered into, (ii) arise out of any New and Pending Lease Transactions (including, without limitation, the commissions and/or tenant improvements referenced in Section 5.3 hereof) to the extent disclosed in Schedule 1-1 and/or Schedule 1-2, and (b) leasing costs that are due after the Closing Date, to the extent disclosed in the Leases or any new Leases or Lease amendments entered into after the Effective Date (or disclosed in writing to Buyer at the time such new Leases and/or Lease amendments were entered into), or disclosed in Schedule 1-1 and/or Schedule 1-2 attached hereto. Buyer will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under (i) the Contracts and (ii) the Construction Contract (other than Pre-Closing Indemnification Obligations), pursuant to the terms of Section 4.5 hereof. Buyer and Seller shall each be entitled to the credits, if any, provided for in Section 5.3 hereof. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed through September 30, 2017.
10.5 Tenant Deposits. All tenant security deposits for each Lease in the amounts set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto and any other tenant security deposits obtained in connection with leases entered into in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (and interest thereon if
23
required by law or contract to be earned thereon) and not theretofore applied to tenant obligations under the Leases in accordance with this Agreement shall be transferred or credited, as applicable, to Buyer at the Close of Escrow or placed in escrow if required by law. As of the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall assume Seller’s obligations related to such tenant security deposits, but only to the extent actually transferred or credited to Buyer (“Transferred Security Deposits”). If any security deposits are in the form of a letter of credit, Seller’s obligation to deliver or credit such deposit shall be satisfied by the delivery by Seller of the original letter of credit to Buyer. Seller shall cooperate (at no cost, liability or reasonably foreseeable potential liability to Seller) with Buyer to transfer any such letters of credit, including signing any assignment document requested by the issuer and presented to Seller prior to or after Closing, but expressly excluding any obligation to draw on any letter of credit for the benefit of Buyer. All costs of the assignment of any letter of credit shall be paid by Buyer without prejudice to Buyer’s right to seek reimbursement from a tenant for such costs post-closing if permitted under the respective lease. The provisions of this Section 10.5 relating to any letters of credit shall survive the Close of Escrow through November 30, 2017.
10.6 Utilities and Utility Deposits. Utilities for the Real Property (excluding utilities for which payment is made directly by tenants), including water, sewer, electric, and gas, based upon the last reading of meters prior to the Close of Escrow, shall be prorated. Seller shall be entitled to a credit for all security deposits held by any of the utility companies providing service to the Real Property. Seller shall endeavor to obtain meter readings on the day before the Closing Date, and if such readings are obtained, there shall be no proration of such items and Seller shall pay at Close of Escrow the bills therefor for the period to the day preceding the Close of Escrow, and Buyer shall pay the bills therefor for the period subsequent thereto. If the utility company will not issue separate bills, Buyer will receive a credit against the Purchase Price for Seller’s portion as reflected on such bill, attributed to Seller’s period of ownership, and will pay the entire bill prior to delinquency after Close of Escrow. If Seller has paid utilities no more than thirty (30) days in advance in the ordinary course of business, then Buyer shall be charged its portion of such payment at Close of Escrow. Buyer shall be responsible for making any security deposits required by utility companies providing service to the Real Property.
10.7 Owner Deposits. Seller shall receive a credit at the Close of Escrow for all bonds, deposits, letters of credit, set aside letters or other similar items set forth on Schedule 3 attached hereto, if any, that are outstanding with respect to the Real Property that have been provided by Seller or any of its affiliates to any governmental agency, public utility, or similar entity (collectively, “Owner Deposits”) to the extent assignable to Buyer. To the extent any Owner Deposits are not assignable to Buyer, Buyer shall replace such Owner Deposits and endeavor to obtain the release of Seller (or its affiliates) from any obligations under such Owner Deposits; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to expend any sum or incur any liability to comply with this sentence. To the extent that any funds are released as a result of the termination of any Owner Deposits for which Seller did not get a credit, such funds shall be delivered to Seller immediately upon their receipt.
10.8 Construction Contract. Buyer shall be entitled to the Construction Contract Credit as set forth in Section 4.5 hereof. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed through September 30, 2017.
24
10.9 Final Adjustment After Closing. If final prorations cannot be made at the Close of Escrow for any item being prorated under this Section 10, then, provided Buyer and Seller identify any such proration (“Post Closing Proration”) in writing before the Close of Escrow, Buyer and Seller agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as invoices or bills are available and applicable reconciliation with tenants have been completed, with final adjustment to be made as soon as reasonably possible after the Close of Escrow (but in no event later than September 30, 2017 (the “Reproration Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in this Section 10, except as expressly provided above in this Section 10, all prorations under this Section 10 shall be final as of the Close of Escrow and shall not be subject to further adjustment (whether due to an error or for any other reason) after the Close of Escrow. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed through September 30, 2017.
11. | SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; AS-IS. |
11.1 Seller’s Representations and Warranties. In consideration of Buyer’s entering into this Agreement and as an inducement to Buyer to purchase the Real Property from Seller, Seller makes the following representations and warranties to Buyer:
(a) Seller is a limited liability company organized and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified and in good standing in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Seller has the legal right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized and no other action by Seller is requisite to the valid and binding execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.
(b) There is no agreement to which Seller is a party or to Seller’s Actual Knowledge binding on Seller which would prevent Seller from consummating the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
(c) Seller is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
(d) To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, except as disclosed on Schedule 4 attached hereto, Seller has not received written notice from any governmental agency of any currently pending condemnation proceedings relating to the Property.
(e) Seller has not (i) made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) filed any voluntary petition in bankruptcy or received written notice of the filing (or written notice of any threatened filing) of any involuntary petition by Seller’s creditors, or (iii) received written notice of the appointment of a receiver to take possession of all, or substantially all, of Seller’s assets.
(f) To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, except as disclosed in Schedule 4 attached hereto, Seller has received no written notice from any governmental agency that the Property or
25
the use and operation thereof violate any applicable federal, state or municipal law, statute, code, ordinance, rule or regulation (including those relating to environmental matters), except with respect to such violations as have been fully cured prior to the date hereof.
(g) To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, except as disclosed on Schedule 4 attached hereto, except with respect to slip and fall and similar claims or matters covered by Seller’s commercial liability insurance policy, Seller has not received service of process with respect to any litigation that has been filed against Seller (and has not received written notice of any threatened litigation sent by any potential claimant or its counsel) that arises out of the ownership or operation of the Property and would materially affect the Property or the use thereof, or Seller’s ability to perform hereunder.
(h) To the Seller’s Actual Knowledge, neither Seller nor any of its respective affiliates or constituents, is or will be (a) conducting any business or engaging in any transaction or dealing with any person appearing on the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) list of restrictions and prohibited persons (“Prohibited Person”) (which lists can be accessed at the following web address: http://www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/), including the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of any Prohibited Person; (b) dealing in, or otherwise engaging in any transaction relating to, any property or interests in property blocked pursuant to Executive Order No. 13224 dated September 24, 2001, relating to “Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism”; or (c) engaging in or conspiring to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempting to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any U.S. anti-money laundering law.
(i) Seller does not hold “plan assets” within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulations located at 29 C.F.R Section 25103.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
(j) Seller has delivered to Buyer correct and complete (in all material respects) copies of the Leases. The schedule of Leases listed on Exhibit C-3 attached hereto is a list of all of the Leases currently affecting the Real Property entered into by Seller or assumed by Seller and to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, are all the Leases currently affecting the Real Property. Seller has not received from any tenant (nor delivered to any tenant) under the Leases written notice of a current default under the Leases which default has not been cured. The Rent Roll attached hereto as Exhibit K is the most recent rent roll relied upon by Seller in the operation of the Real Property. The Rent Roll that Seller shall deliver at Closing pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof is the Rent Roll that Seller uses in the ordinary course of operating the Real Property. Except as set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto, to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, there are no security deposits, letters of credit or other refundable deposits or prepaid rents being held by Seller pursuant to the Leases. Except as disclosed in Schedules 1-1 and 1-2 attached hereto, to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, (i) there are no outstanding tenant improvement allowances owed by the Seller or tenant improvement obligations of the Seller in connection with the current terms of the Leases; and (ii) there are no leasing or brokerage commissions (or unpaid installments thereof) with respect to any Lease (including renewals, extensions or expansions in connection
26
therewith which have been exercised) which are outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything stated to the contrary in this Agreement, upon delivery to Buyer of an executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate that confirms the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties contained in this clause (j) as to the Lease referenced in such Tenant Estoppel Certificate, such confirmed representations and warranties set forth in this clause (j), as to such Lease (but not as to any of the other Leases), shall automatically, without any further action by Seller or Buyer, be void, and shall no longer be of any force or effect.
(k) Seller has delivered to Buyer correct and complete (in all material respects) copies of all Contracts which will survive Closing (for the avoidance of doubt, a contract containing a “tail obligation” is deemed a contract which will survive the Closing) and be binding on Buyer or the Property, and Seller has not received from any counterparty to such Contracts (nor delivered to any counterparty) under such Contracts written notice of a current default which default has not been cured.
For purposes of this Section 11.1, the phrase “To Seller’s Actual Knowledge” shall mean the actual (and not implied, imputed, or constructive) knowledge of Stephen Close (whom the Seller represents is the asset manager for the Real Property), without any inquiry or investigation of any other parties, including, without limitation, the tenants and the property manager of the Real Property.
The representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement shall survive the recordation of the Deed until November 30, 2017, and any action for a breach of Seller’s representations or warranties must be made and filed on or before November 30, 2017. If, after the Effective Date, but before the Close of Escrow, Seller becomes aware of any facts or changes in circumstances that would cause any of its representations and warranties in this Agreement to be untrue at Close of Escrow, Seller may notify Buyer in writing of such fact. In such case, or in the event Buyer obtains information which would cause any of Seller’s representations and warranties to be untrue at Close of Escrow, Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to either (i) terminate this Agreement to the extent that the failure of any such representation or warranty to be true would have a material and adverse effect on the Property or create a material liability of Buyer not contemplated in this Agreement, in which case (1) the Deposit and all interest thereon shall be immediately returned to Buyer, (2) if such representations and warranties were untrue as of the Effective Date (taking into consideration any “Actual Knowledge” qualifier therein), Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), together with invoices and receipts with respect thereto, incurred in connection with Buyer’s pursuit of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, not to exceed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) in the aggregate (inclusive of any amounts to be paid by Seller to Buyer for Buyer’s out-of-pocket expenses that may be payable under other provisions of this Agreement), and (3) neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement (except for those which survive termination of this Agreement pursuant to the express terms thereof); or (ii) to the extent Buyer is not permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (i) above, accept a qualification to Seller’s representations and warranties as of the Close of Escrow and complete the purchase and sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement, without any rights to recovery for breach of the unqualified representation and warranty. Other than as set forth in the immediately
27
preceding sentence, if Buyer proceeds with the Close of Escrow as set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 11.1), Buyer shall be deemed to have expressly waived any and all remedies for the breach of any representation or warranty discovered by Buyer prior to the Close of Escrow. Additionally, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Buyer obtains knowledge of a breach of a Seller representation or warranty that was untrue on the date hereof (taking into consideration any “Actual Knowledge” qualifier therein), or became untrue as a result of a Seller breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained herein, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, receive an immediate return of the Deposit, together with interest thereon, and shall be entitled to recovery of Buyer’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), together with invoices and receipts with respect thereto, incurred in connection with Buyer’s pursuit of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, not to exceed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) in the aggregate (inclusive of any amounts to be paid by Seller to Buyer for Buyer’s out-of-pocket expenses that may be payable under other provisions of this Agreement).
11.2 As-Is. As of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer will have:
(a) examined and inspected the Property and will know and be satisfied with the physical condition, quality, quantity and state of repair of the Property in all respects (including, without limitation, the compliance of the Real Property with the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 Pub.L. 101-336, 104 Stat. 327 (1990), and any comparable local or state laws (collectively, the “ADA”)) and by proceeding with this transaction following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall be deemed to have determined that the same is satisfactory to Buyer subject to all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller contained herein;
(b) reviewed the Property Information and all instruments, records and documents which Buyer deems appropriate or advisable to review in connection with this transaction, including, but not by way of limitation, any and all architectural drawings, plans, specifications, surveys, building and occupancy permits, and any licenses, leases, contracts, warranties and guarantees relating to the Real Property or the business conducted thereon, and Buyer, by proceeding with this transaction following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, shall be deemed to have determined that the same and the information and data contained therein and evidenced thereby are satisfactory to Buyer subject to all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller contained herein;

(d) at its own cost and expense, made its own independent investigation respecting the Property and all other aspects of this transaction, and shall have relied thereon and on the advice of its consultants in entering into this Agreement, and Buyer, by proceeding with
28
this transaction following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, shall be deemed to have determined that the same are satisfactory to Buyer subject to all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller contained herein.
In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in the Deed at the time the Deed is recorded (including, without limitation, any express or implied covenants set forth therein), Seller is transferring the Property to Buyer subject to all of the Permitted Exceptions.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, BUT SUBJECT TO ALL OF SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN, BUYER, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE OTHER RELEASORS, HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISK AND LIABILITY RESULTING OR ARISING FROM, OR RELATING TO THE OWNERSHIP, USE, CONDITION, LOCATION, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, OR OPERATION OF, THE PROPERTY.
THE FOREGOING WAIVERS, RELEASES AND AGREEMENTS BY BUYER IN THIS SECTION 12.2, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE RELEASORS, SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSE OF ESCROW AND THE RECORDATION OF THE DEED AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED MERGED INTO THE DEED UPON ITS RECORDATION.

13. | DEFAULT AND DAMAGES. |
13.1 DEFAULT BY BUYER. BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, IN THE EVENT THE CLOSE OF ESCROW FAILS TO OCCUR DUE SOLELY TO A BUYER DEFAULT (ALL OF THE CONDITIONS TO BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS TO CLOSE HAVING BEEN SATISFIED OR WAIVED IN WRITING BY BUYER IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION), SELLER WILL SUFFER DAMAGES IN AN AMOUNT WHICH WILL, DUE TO THE SPECIAL NATURE OF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SPECIAL NATURE OF THE NEGOTIATIONS WHICH PRECEDED THIS AGREEMENT, BE IMPRACTICAL OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN. IN ADDITION, BUYER WISHES TO HAVE A LIMITATION PLACED UPON THE POTENTIAL LIABILITY OF BUYER TO SELLER IN THE EVENT THE CLOSE OF ESCROW FAILS TO OCCUR DUE SOLELY TO A BUYER DEFAULT, AND WISHES TO INDUCE SELLER TO WAIVE OTHER REMEDIES WHICH SELLER MAY HAVE IN THE EVENT OF A BUYER DEFAULT. BUYER AND SELLER, AFTER DUE NEGOTIATION, HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WILL SUSTAIN IN THE EVENT OF SUCH BUYER DEFAULT. BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY AGREE THAT SELLER MAY, IN THE EVENT THE CLOSE OF ESCROW FAILS TO OCCUR SOLELY DUE TO A BUYER DEFAULT AND PROVIDED SELLER IS NOT IN DEFAULT HEREUNDER, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY HEREUNDER, TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO BUYER AND ESCROW HOLDER, CANCEL THE ESCROW AND RECEIVE THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND ESCROW HOLDER SHALL IMMEDIATELY DELIVER THE DEPOSIT TO SELLER. SUCH RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT BY SELLER IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY. OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 13.1, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL BUYER HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR A BREACH OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT (OTHER THAN BUYER’S
34
INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER).
35
NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 13.1 SHALL (A) PREVENT OR PRECLUDE ANY RECOVERY OF ATTORNEYS’ FEES OR OTHER COSTS INCURRED BY SELLER PURSUANT TO SECTION 15.5 OR (B) IMPAIR OR LIMIT THE EFFECTIVENESS OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF BUYER CONTAINED IN SECTION 4.3.1 AND SECTION 14 HEREOF. SELLER AND BUYER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 13.1 AND BY THEIR INITIALS IMMEDIATELY BELOW AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS.

15.2 Assignment; Binding on Successors and Assigns. Buyer shall not assign, transfer or convey its rights or obligations under this Agreement or with respect to the Property without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent Seller may withhold in its sole, absolute and subjective discretion; provided, however, Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement without Seller’s consent to an Affiliate (as hereinafter defined), so long as (i) Buyer provides Seller with notice of such assignment at least four (4) business days before the Closing Date of its intentions to assign its rights under this Agreement to the Affiliate, which notice must be accompanied by the name of such assignee and such assignee’s signature block, (ii) the
39
Affiliate assumes, jointly and severally, in writing Buyer’s obligations hereunder and the Affiliate agrees in writing to be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I and made a part hereof (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”), (iii) Buyer shall not be released from its obligations hereunder; and (iv) the assignee to which Buyer is assigning this Agreement is able to make the representation and warranty in Section 12.1(b) herein without violating the same. As used in this Section 15.2, the term “Affiliate” means (a) an entity (which may not consist of more than one entity) that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Buyer, (b) any fund or entity sponsored by Buyer or its direct or indirect owners, or (c) an entity (which may not consist of more than one entity) at least a majority of whose economic interest is owned by Buyer; and the term “control” means the power to direct the management of such entity through voting rights, ownership or contractual obligations. Any attempted assignment in violation of the provisions of this Section 15.2 without the prior written consent of Seller (if such consent is required hereunder) shall be void and Buyer shall be deemed in default hereunder. Any permitted assignments shall not relieve the assigning party from its liability under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, and except as provided to the contrary herein, the terms, covenants, conditions and warranties contained herein and the powers granted hereby shall inure to the benefit of and bind all parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and all subsequent owners of the Property.
15.3 Work Product. Effective upon and in the event of a termination of this Agreement for any reason, provided that Seller is not in default hereunder, Buyer shall assign and deliver to Seller (at no cost to Seller), without representation or warranty or ability to rely on same, and does hereby assign without the need for any further act or instrument (at no cost to Seller and solely to the extent assignable), all reports, plans, studies, documents, written information and the like which has been generated by Buyer’s third party consultants, whether prior to the Opening of Escrow or during the period of Escrow in connection with Buyer’s proposed acquisition, development, use or sale of the Real Property (but excluding any proprietary or confidential information, such as valuation studies, internal memoranda or reports, any financial projections, budgets, appraisals, architectural plans or drawings, or any information which is attorney-client privileged or required to be kept confidential by a written agreement entered into for legitimate purposes and not for the purpose of circumventing this provision; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any reports which have been generated by Buyer’s third-party consultants relating to the physical condition of the Property) (collectively, the “Work Product”). In such event, Buyer shall deliver the Work Product which has been assigned to Seller not later than five (5) days after the date of the termination of this Agreement, and Seller shall be subject to any and all terms of such Work Product. The Work Product shall be fully paid for and shall not be subject to any lien, encumbrance or claim of any kind. Buyer shall also return all materials and information (including, without limitation, the Property Information) given to it by Seller or its consultants during Escrow, in the same condition as delivered to Buyer, or destroy same. The provisions of this Section 15.3 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
15.4 Further Assurances. In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed or delivered by Seller or Buyer, Seller and Buyer hereby
40
agree to perform, execute and deliver, or cause to be performed, executed and delivered, on the Closing Date or thereafter any and all such further acts, deeds and assurances as Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, may reasonably require in order to consummate fully the transactions contemplated hereunder; including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating in connection with the transfer of the Domain Name (at no cost, liability or reasonably foreseeable potential liability to Seller). The provisions of this Section 15.3 shall survive the Closing through November 30, 2017.
15.5 Attorneys’ Fees. If any legal action or any arbitration or other proceeding is brought or if an attorney is retained for the enforcement of this Agreement or any portion thereof, or because of any alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other reimbursement for the reasonable fees of attorneys and other costs (including court costs and witness fees) incurred by it, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled. The term “prevailing party” means the party obtaining substantially the relief sought, whether by compromise, settlement or judgment. The provisions of this Section 15.5 shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
15.6 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants, Obligations and Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, none of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Close of Escrow or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
(b)Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Agreement, following the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, any claim under this Agreement that is based upon any breach of a representation or warranty, or a breach of a covenant, obligation or agreement under this Agreement shall be actionable and enforceable if and only if notice of such claim is given to the party which allegedly breached such representation or warranty, or breached such covenant, obligation or agreement on or before the expiration of the applicable survival period, if any, during which the same expressly survives under this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall Seller’s liability, if any, with respect to any breach of Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements contained herein or in any of the documents executed in connection with the Closing exceed Two Million Six Hundred Five Thousand Dollars ($2,605,000.00) in the aggregate (“Cap on Seller’s Liability”) (provided, however, that the foregoing Cap on Seller’s Liability shall not apply to any attorneys’ fees incurred by Buyer, the indemnification obligations for broker’s commissions under Section 14 above, or prorations in Section 10 hereof).
(d)The provisions of this Section 15.6 shall survive the Closing.
15.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties in respect to the subject matter hereof, and the parties intend for the
41
literal words of this Agreement to govern and for all prior negotiations, drafts, and other extrinsic communications, whether oral or written, to have no significance or evidentiary effect. The parties further intend that neither this Agreement nor any of its provisions may be changed, amended, discharged, waived or otherwise modified orally except only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the party to be bound thereby. The parties hereto fully understand and acknowledge the importance of the foregoing sentence and are aware that the law may permit subsequent oral modification of a contract notwithstanding contract language which requires that any such modification be in writing, but Buyer and Seller fully and expressly intend that the foregoing requirements as to a writing be strictly adhered to and strictly interpreted and enforced by any court which may be asked to decide the question. Each party hereto acknowledges that this Agreement accurately reflects the agreements and understandings of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and hereby waive any claim against the other party which such party may now have or may hereafter acquire to the effect that the actual agreements and understandings of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof may not be accurately set forth in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 15.7 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
15.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
15.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The provisions of this Section 15.9 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
15.10 Headings; Construction. The various headings of this Agreement are included for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof. When the context and construction so require, all words used in the singular herein shall be deemed to have been used in the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter and vice versa. The use in this Agreement of the term “including” and related terms such as “include” shall in all cases mean “without limitation.” All references to “days” in this Agreement shall be construed to mean calendar days unless otherwise expressly provided and all references to “business days” shall be construed to mean days on which national banks are open for business. The provisions of this Section 15.10 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
15.11 Time of Essence. Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition, obligation and provision hereof and failure to perform timely any of the terms, conditions, obligations or provisions hereof by either party shall constitute a material breach of, and non-curable (but waivable) default under this Agreement by the parties so failing to perform. The provisions of this Section 15.11 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
15.12 Partial Validity; Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held invalid or
42
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section 15.12 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
15.13 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and no third party is intended to, or shall have, any rights hereunder. The provisions of this Section 15.13 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
15.14 Intentionally Omitted.

Accordingly, neither party shall be deemed to be the author of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not be construed against either party. The provisions of this Section 15.15 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
15.16 Calculation of Time Periods. Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included at, unless such last day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for national banks in California, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the last day of any period of time described herein shall be deemed to end at 5:00 p.m. (California time).
15.17 Procedure for Indemnity. The following provisions govern actions for indemnity under this Agreement. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim for which indemnification is provided by a party in this Agreement, such indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnitor, deliver to the indemnitor written notice thereof and the indemnitor shall have the right to participate in and, if the indemnitor agrees in writing that it will be responsible for any actual out of pocket costs, expenses, judgments, damages, and losses incurred by the indemnitee with respect to such claim, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel (subject to approval of indemnitor not to be unreasonably withheld), with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitor, if the indemnitee reasonably believes that representation of such indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, under no circumstances shall indemnitor be required to pay for more than one legal counsel. The failure of indemnitee to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall relieve such indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee under this indemnity only if and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, and the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnitor will not relieve it of any
43
liability that it may have to any indemnitee other than under this indemnity. If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, then the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to such claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld such consent. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Buyer or Seller be liable under this Agreement for consequential, punitive, special or exemplary damages hereunder. The provisions of this Section 15.17 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed or any earlier termination hereof.
15.18 Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
15.19 No Personal Liability. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, Seller’s liability under this Agreement shall be limited to Seller’s interest in the Property and neither Seller, Seller’s constituent partners and/or members, Seller’s asset manager, nor Seller’s directors, employees or agents shall have any personal liability for any claim, cause of action or other liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the Property, whether based in Contract, common law, statute, equity or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall Buyer’s constituent partners and/or members, nor Buyer’s directors, employees or agents have any personal liability for any claim, cause of action or other liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Property, whether based in contract, common law, statute, equity or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 15.19 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
15.20 Joint and Several Liability. If Buyer is composed of more than one individual or entity, all obligations and liabilities of Buyer under this Agreement shall be joint and several as to each of the individuals or entities who compose Buyer. The provisions of this Section 15.20 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
15.21 Post-Closing Net Worth Requirement. Seller hereby covenants that, from the Closing Date through November 30, 2017 (the “Survival Period”), or, in the event Buyer has properly brought an action against Seller for the breach of any of Seller's representations, warranties, covenants and agreements that expressly survive Closing, to the conclusion of such action, Seller shall have and maintain a net worth of no less than the Cap on Seller’s Liability. By signing this Agreement in the signature place provided below, KBS REIT Properties, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, covenants and agrees that Seller shall comply with the provisions of this Section 15.21. The provisions of this Section 15.21 shall survive the Closing through the date that Seller is obligated to comply with the provisions of this Section 15.21.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement the day and year first above written.

Unless specifically defined in this Agreement, initially capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
C. Pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Purchase Agreement, concurrently with the Close of Escrow, Seller shall withhold a portion of the Purchase Price in the amount of the Unused TI Allowance Funds (which equals $______________________), the disposition of which Unused TI Allowance Funds shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Section 5.3 of the Purchase Agreement, which terms and conditions are incorporated herein by this reference.

3. Receipt and Investment of Funds. Escrow Holder hereby acknowledges receipt of the Unused TI Allowance Funds from Seller and, unless otherwise directed in writing by Buyer and Seller, shall not invest funds on deposit in the Seller TI Escrow.

(c) This Agreement shall not be deemed terminated until Escrow Holder has disbursed the entire amount of funds on deposit in the Seller TI Escrow in accordance with this Agreement and Escrow Holder has received written notice from Buyer and Seller that this Agreement has terminated.
5. Exculpation and Indemnification of Escrow Holder.
(a) Escrow Holder shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth herein.
