2.4                  Loan Assumption.

 

2.4.1       Application for Loan Assumption.  Within five (5) business days after Seller has provided Buyer the request forms and requirements from Lender for the Loan Assumption (the “Application Deadline”), Buyer shall apply, in good faith, to the Lender for approval of the assignment by Seller, and assumption by Buyer, of Seller’s interest in the Loan.  Buyer and Seller agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in connection with said application process and each party shall submit to Lender any information reasonably requested by Lender to complete and approve said application by the Assumption Approval Deadline (as hereinafter defined).  Buyer agrees that Buyer shall pay any required loan assumption review fee to the Lender as and when required by the Lender and/or Servicer in accordance with the Loan Documents.  Seller has informed Buyer that certain Affiliates of Seller (each a “Seller Guarantor”) have provided certain standard non-recourse carve-out guaranties and/or environmental indemnities to the Lender with respect to the Loan and that Lender will require Buyer to provide a financially responsible person or entity to provide a substantially similar guaranty and indemnity (a “Replacement Guarantor”).  Buyer agrees that Buyer will offer a Replacement Guarantor who shall, in Lender’s sole discretion, satisfy the financial conditions currently required to be maintained by the applicable Seller Guarantor(s) pursuant to the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, provided that Seller and Buyer shall have satisfied its obligations under this Section 2.4, the failure of Lender to approve the assignment and assumption of the Loan by the Assumption Approval Deadline shall not constitute a default by either Seller or Buyer.

 

2.4.2       Certain Condition Precedent Regarding Loan Assumption.  Without limitation to any of the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement, it shall be a condition to Buyer’s and Seller’s obligation to close the purchase and sale of the Property that the Lender shall have approved, in writing, the assumption of the Loan by Buyer and the release of Seller and Seller Guarantor and approval of Buyer’s Replacement Guarantor within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date (the “Assumption Approval Deadline”).  If Lender fails to approve the assumption of the Loan, the release of Seller and Seller Guarantor and approval of Buyer’s Replacement Guarantor by Buyer on or before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the Assumption Approval Deadline, then either Buyer or Seller, in their sole and absolute discretion, may extend the Assumption Approval Deadline for ten (10) additional days (the “Extended Assumption Approval Deadline”) by notice in writing to the other party prior to the expiration of the Assumption Approval Deadline; provided, however, that if Lender fails to approve the assumption of the Loan by Buyer, the release of Seller and the Seller Guarantor and approval of Buyer’s replacement Guarantor on or before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the Extended Assumption Approval Deadline, then either Buyer or Seller may thereafter terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other at any time after the expiration of the Extended Assumption Approval Deadline; provided, however, that if the Lender approves

 

10



 

Buyer’s assumption of the Loan before the delivery of such termination notice, then such termination notice shall be null and void.  In the event of such termination the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer so long as the Buyer is not otherwise in material default hereunder and the parties shall have no further liability to each other except as set forth herein.

 

2.4.3       Closing of Loan Assumption.  Upon Lender’s approval of Buyer’s assumption of the Loan, Seller and Buyer agree to execute such documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and to take all other steps necessary to promptly close the loan assumption on the Closing Date, the completion of which shall include Lender’s release of Seller and the Seller Guarantor from future liability with respect to the Loan.  Concurrent with the Closing of the assumption of the Loan and provided the Lender shall agree, all reserve accounts maintained by such Lender on behalf of Seller in connection with the Loan, if any,  shall be assigned by Seller to Buyer at the Closing and Seller shall receive a credit at Closing equal to the amounts so assigned.  If the Lender shall not so agree to the assignment and assumption of existing reserves at Closing as aforesaid, such reserves shall not be assigned to or assumed by Buyer and Seller shall not receive a credit therefor at Closing, and if required by Lender, Buyer shall establish replacement reserves in the amounts reasonably required by Lender but such amounts shall not be in excess of the amounts currently required by the Loan Documents, and if Lender requires such additional reserves, Buyer shall have no obligation to agree thereto and such requirement shall be deemed to be a “material change” in the Loan Documents as contemplated in Section 9.4.1 hereof, and Buyer shall upon Seller’s request and expense, reasonably cooperate with Seller’s efforts to recover such Seller reserves from Lender.  All costs and fees of assuming the Loan shall be at Buyer’s sole cost and expense and Buyer shall pay all assumption deposit fees, application fees, review processing fees, legal fees, and loan assumption fees when charged by the Lender and/or Servicer in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents in connection with the assumption thereof.

 

2.4.4       Materiality.  The provisions of this Section 2.4 are material and included as a material portion of the consideration given by Buyer to Seller in exchange for Seller’s agreement to enter into and perform under this Agreement

 

2.5                  General Assumption.  As additional consideration for the purchase and sale of the Property, at Closing Buyer will: (a) assume and perform (i) all of the covenants and obligations of Seller, Seller’s predecessors in title and Seller’s Affiliates pursuant to the Leases and Approved Contracts (including, without limitation, those relating to any Deposits) which arise on or after the Closing Date, and (ii) all obligations under the Leases and Approved Contracts relating to the physical and environmental condition of the Property arising on or after the Closing Date; and (b) assume and agree to discharge, perform and comply with each and every liability, duty, covenant, debt or obligation of Seller or any of its Affiliates resulting from, arising out of, or in any way related to any Licenses and Permits and arising on or after the Closing Date.  By closing under this Agreement, Buyer hereby indemnifies, defends, and holds Seller, Seller’s Affiliates and their respective partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, managers, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all claims, liens, damages, demands, causes of action, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, losses, costs and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) asserted against or incurred by Seller

3.3                  Site Visits.  During the pendency of this Agreement, Buyer and its Licensee Parties shall have reasonable access to the Property at agreed upon times for agreed upon purposes on at least one (1) business day prior notice to Seller.  Such notice shall describe the scope of the Due Diligence Buyer intends to conduct during Buyer’s access to the Property.  Seller shall have the right to have a representative present during any visits to or inspections of the Property or any meetings or discussions with any Tenant by Buyer or any Licensee Parties or any Governmental Entity.  Buyer will conduct its Due Diligence in a manner so as to minimize, to the extent reasonably possible to do so, any interference with the operations and occupancy of the Property and to minimize, to the extent reasonably possible to do so, any disturbance to Tenants.  Buyer will not enter the Property or contact any leasing agents or the Property Manager of the Property or any Governmental Entity without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Neither Buyer nor any Licensee Parties may contact any Tenants or make any inquiries of such Tenants including, without limitation, those which in any way relate to the Property, without Seller’s prior written consent which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion.  In the event Buyer desires to conduct any physically intrusive Due Diligence, such as sampling of soils, other media, building materials, or the like, Buyer will identify in writing exactly what procedures Buyer desires to perform and request Seller’s express written consent.  Seller may withhold or condition consent to any physically intrusive Due Diligence in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion.  Upon receipt of Seller’s written consent, Buyer and all Licensee Parties shall, in performing such Due Diligence, comply with any agreed upon procedures and with any and all Laws including, without limitation, any Environmental Laws.

3.5                  Restoration; No Liens.  Buyer shall promptly pay when due the costs of all entry and inspections and examinations done with regard to the Property and repair and/or restore the Property to the condition in which the same were found before any such entry upon the Property and inspection or examination was undertaken.  Buyer shall not permit any mechanics’ or other liens to be filed against the Property as a result of labor or materials furnished in connection with its Due Diligence.  If any such lien is filed against the Property as a result of the activities of Buyer or any Licensee Parties, then within ten (10) days after receipt of written demand from Seller or any other notice of such lien, Buyer shall either cause the same to be discharged of record by payment of the claim or posting of a bond, or will take such other action as may be reasonably acceptable to protect Seller, Seller’s Affiliates and the Property from any loss or damage arising from such lien.  In the event Buyer fails to release any lien by payment, bond or otherwise as set forth herein, Seller may pay such amounts necessary to cause the release of the lien and Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller one hundred percent (100%) of the amount so paid, in addition to Seller’s other costs (including, but not limited to attorneys’ fees) necessary to discharge the lien(s)).  Buyer’s obligations under this Section 3.5 shall expressly survive the Closing or, if the purchase and sale is not consummated, any termination of this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 3.5 shall survive the Closing or, if the purchase and sale is not consummated, any termination of this Agreement.

 

3.6                  Due Diligence Indemnity.  Buyer shall defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless Seller, Seller’s Affiliates and their respective partners, shareholders, members, officers, directors, employees and agents, as applicable, and the Property Manager from and against all Losses (whether arising out of injury or death to persons or damage to the Property or

 

14



 

otherwise) including, but not limited to, costs of remediation, restoration and other similar activities, mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens and attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with Buyer’s Due Diligence, Buyer’s breach of its obligations under Section 3.7 or Buyer’s or any Licensee Parties’ entry upon the Property; provided, however, that Buyer shall have no obligations under this Section 3.6 to the extent the Losses are caused solely by the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller, Seller’s Affiliates, Seller’s partners, shareholders, members, officers, directors, employees and agents, as applicable, and/or the Property Manager or result from the mere discovery by Buyer of pre-existing conditions at the Property and the Buyer promptly notifies Seller in writing of such discovery.  The provisions of this Section 3.6 shall survive the Closing or, if the purchase and sale is not consummated, any termination of this Agreement.

 

3.7                  Confidentiality.  Buyer agrees that any information obtained by Buyer or its Affiliates or their respective attorneys, partners, accountants, brokers, property management companies, third party consultants, lenders or investors (collectively, for purposes of this Section 3.7, the “Permitted Outside Parties”) in the conduct of its Due Diligence shall be treated as confidential pursuant to Section 10.11 of this Agreement and shall be used only to evaluate the acquisition of the Property from Seller.  Buyer further agrees that within its organization, or as to the Permitted Outside Parties, the Due Diligence Items and all other information obtained by Buyer pursuant to its Due Diligence will be disclosed and exhibited only to those persons within Buyer’s organization or to those Permitted Outside Parties who are involved in determining the feasibility of Buyer’s acquisition of the Property.  Buyer further acknowledges that the Due Diligence Items, all information relating to the leasing arrangements between Seller and any Tenant or prospective tenants, and all other information obtained by Buyer pursuant to its Due Diligence are proprietary and confidential in nature.  Buyer agrees not to divulge the contents of such Due Diligence Items or any other information except in strict accordance with this Section 3.7 and Section 10.11 of this Agreement.  In permitting Buyer and the Permitted Outside Parties to review the Due Diligence Items and other information to assist Buyer, Seller has not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third party benefits or relationships of any kind, either express or implied, have been offered, intended or created by Seller and any such claims are expressly rejected by Seller and waived by Buyer and the Permitted Outside Parties, for whom, by its execution of this Agreement, Buyer is acting as an agent with regard to such waiver.  The provisions of this Section 3.7 shall survive the Closing or, if the purchase and sale is not consummated, any termination of this Agreement.

 

3.8                  Due Diligence Period.  Unless Buyer delivers to Seller and Escrow Agent written notice terminating this Agreement on or before the end of the Due Diligence Period which notice may be for any reason, or no reason, (the “Disapproval Notice”), this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.  If Buyer fails to give Seller the Disapproval Notice, then Buyer shall be deemed to have approved all of the matters described in Sections 3.1 and 3.2.  If Buyer timely elects to terminate its obligations hereunder as described above, then Buyer shall be entitled to the immediate return of the Deposit and Buyer shall return all Due Diligence Items to Seller and provide to Seller, promptly after receipt of a request from Seller, originals of all third party reports, studies and appraisals relating to the Property in its possession, without representation or warranty and at no cost to Seller.  The foregoing obligation shall survive any termination of this Agreement.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, provided that Buyer has not delivered the Disapproval Notice, Buyer, after the expiration of the

 

15



 

Due Diligence Period, may continue to conduct further physical Due Diligence or other examinations, inspections, tests, studies and investigations regarding the Property; provided, however, that except as otherwise expressly provided in Sections 5.1 and 10.2.2, in no event shall Buyer have any right to terminate or otherwise modify its obligations hereunder after the end of the Due Diligence Period as a result of any such further Due Diligence or other examinations, inspections, tests, studies or investigations regarding the Property, and the provisions of this Article 3, including, without limitation, the indemnification provisions, shall continue to apply.

 

3.9                  Delivery of Buyer’s Due Diligence Materials.  Buyer agrees that if Buyer terminates this Agreement for any reason permitted hereunder, including Buyer’s disapproval of its Due Diligence within the Due Diligence Period, then Buyer shall, at Seller’s request and at no cost to Seller, assign to Seller all of its rights, interest and title to copies of all third party drafts and final surveys, environmental site assessments, appraisals, examinations, inspections, tests, studies and investigations of the Property or any other similar documents or materials applicable to the Property, obtained by Buyer during the Due Diligence Period (collectively, “Buyer’s Due Diligence Materials”).  Buyer’s obligations under this Section shall expressly survive the termination and/or expiration of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 4

TITLE, SURVEY & CONTRACTS

 

4.1                  Title to Real Property.  Buyer shall obtain (a) a preliminary report or commitment to issue an owner’s policy of title insurance with respect to the Property issued by the Title Company (the “Title Commitment”), and (b) copies of all recorded documents referred to on Schedule B of the Title Commitment as exceptions to coverage (the “Title Documents”).  Buyer shall instruct Escrow Agent to deliver a copy of the Title Commitment and the Title Documents to Seller concurrent with its delivery of the same to Buyer.

 

4.2                  Certain Exceptions to Title.  Buyer shall have the right to object in writing to any title matters that are not Permitted Exceptions and that are disclosed in the Title Commitment (herein collectively called “Liens”) on or before the tenth (10th) day prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.  Buyer’s failure to disapprove the Liens in writing within such period shall constitute Buyer’s approval of all such Liens.  All such Liens which are timely objected to by Buyer shall be herein collectively called the “Title Objections”.  Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect (but shall not be obligated) to remove or cause to be removed, or insured over, at its expense, any Title Objections, and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing for the purpose of such removal, which removal will be deemed effected by, among other things, the issuance of title insurance reasonably acceptable to Buyer eliminating or insuring against the effect of the Title Objections.  Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) days after receipt of Buyer’s notice of Title Objections (the “Title Cure Period”), whether Seller elects to remove the same.  If Seller is unable to remove or endorse over any Title Objections prior to the expiration of the Title Cure Period, or if Seller elects not to remove one or more Title Objections by the expiration of the Title Cure Period, Buyer may elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy therefore, to either (a) terminate this Agreement on or before the end of the Due Diligence Period, in which event the Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and,

 

16



 

thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive, in writing, such Title Objections, in which event such Title Objections shall be deemed additional “Permitted Exceptions” and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price.  If before the end of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer elects to proceed with the transaction contemplated herein, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to waive those Title Objections Seller elected not to remove or endorse over and its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.2.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be obligated at Closing to cause the release of the Liens of any financing obtained by Seller which is secured by the Property other than the Loans.

 

4.3                  Additional Exceptions.  In the event the Title Commitment is amended or updated after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (each, a “Title Commitment Update”), Buyer shall furnish Seller with a written statement of approval or objections to any matter first raised in a Title Commitment Update that affects title to the Real Property and that was not caused by Buyer or any Licensee Parties within five (5) business days after its receipt of such Title Commitment Update together with a legible copy of each new exception raised therein (each, a “Title Commitment Update Review Period”).  Should Buyer fail to notify Seller in writing of any objections to any matter first disclosed in a Title Commitment Update prior to the expiration of the applicable Title Commitment Update Review Period, as applicable, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved such matters whereupon they shall become Permitted Exceptions. If, however, Buyer objects to such new exception, then Seller shall have until 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the fifth (5th) business day after Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s written objection in which to notify Buyer, in Seller’s sole discretion, either (a) that Seller will remove the new disapproved exception(s) prior to the Close of Escrow and, thereafter, Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing for the purpose of such removal, which removal will be deemed effected by, among other things, the issuance of title insurance reasonably acceptable to Buyer eliminating or insuring against the effect of the Title Objections, or (b) that Seller will not remove the new disapproved exception(s).  If Seller does not elect to do either (a) or (b), such silence shall be conclusively deemed to constitute Seller’s election not to remove any new exception(s) disapproved by Buyer.  If Seller elects not to remove any new disapproved exception(s), whether by giving notice thereof or by failing to give notice, then Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the fifth (5th) business day after Seller’s election (or deemed election) not to cure the disapproved exception in which to elect (y) to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder or (z) to waive in writing Buyer’s previous disapproval of (and thereby accept) any items that Seller does not elect to remove.  Buyer’s failure to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice of such election on or before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the fifth (5th) business day after Seller’s election or deemed election not to remove the new disapproved exception shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s irrevocable election to waive Buyer’s previous disapproval whereupon the disapproved exception shall become a Permitted Exception.  If, however, Buyer does elect to terminate this Agreement, then this Agreement shall so terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligations to the other hereunder except to the extent any such obligation expressly survives the termination of this Agreement.

 

4.4                  Survey Objections.  Buyer shall have the right to obtain a new survey or an update of any survey provided by Seller (the “Survey”) at its sole cost and expense. 

 

17



 

Promptly upon receipt of the Survey, Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, shall deliver a copy to Seller and to Escrow Agent.  No later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to notify Seller, in writing, of any matters disclosed on the Survey that are not Permitted Exceptions and that affect Buyer’s title to the Property.  Buyer’s failure to obtain the Survey or disapprove any matters disclosed by the Survey on or before such time shall constitute Buyer’s approval of the matters disclosed by the Survey or matters that would have been disclosed had Buyer obtained a Survey.  All such matters which are timely objected to by Buyer shall be herein collectively called the “Survey Objections”.  Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, may within five (5) days of receipt of Buyer’s notice of Survey Objection elect (but shall not be obligated) to remove or cause to be removed, or insured over, at its expense, any Survey Objections, and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing for the purpose of such removal, which removal will be deemed effected by, among other things, the issuance of title insurance reasonably acceptable to Buyer eliminating or insuring against the effect of the Survey Objections.  Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) days after receipt of Buyer’s notice of Survey Objections (the “Survey Cure Period”), if any, whether Seller elects to cure the same.  If Seller is unable to cure or endorse over any Survey Objections prior to the expiration of the Survey Cure Period, or if Seller elects not to remove one or more Survey Objections, Buyer may elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy therefore, to either (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent on or before the end of the Due Diligence Period, in which event the Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive, in writing, such Survey Objections, in which event the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price.  If before the end of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer elects to proceed with the transaction contemplated herein, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to waive those Survey Objections Seller elected not to cure and its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.4.

 

4.5                  Title Insurance.  At Closing, the Title Company shall issue to Buyer or be irrevocably committed to issue to Buyer a CLTA standard coverage form title policy (the “Title Policy”) in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring that fee simple title to the Land is vested in Buyer subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.  Buyer shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide ALTA extended coverage and/or such endorsements (or amendments) to the Title Policy as Buyer may reasonably require and/or increased liability as Buyer may reasonably require, provided that the same shall (a) be at no cost to Seller, (b) impose no additional liability on Seller, (c) not be a condition to the Closing and, accordingly, if Buyer is unable to obtain any of the foregoing, Buyer shall nevertheless be obligated to proceed to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without reduction of or set off against the Purchase Price, and (d) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of Buyer’s request.

 

4.6                  Contracts.  On or before the tenth (10th) day prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to disapprove, by written notice to Seller, any of the Contracts that are not terminable upon thirty (30) days or less prior notice.  If Buyer desires to have any Contract terminated that is not expressly terminable upon thirty (30) days’ or less notice (any, a “Non-Terminable Contract”), then Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any such Non-Terminable Contract that it desires to have terminated.  Within five (5) days following receipt of any such Buyer notice, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing whether Seller, in

 

18



 

its sole and absolute discretion, is willing to terminate such Non-Terminable Contract.  If Seller notifies Buyer that it is unwilling to terminate any such Non-Terminable Contracts, then Buyer shall have the right, until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, either to waive in writing its prior disapproval of the corresponding Non-Terminable Contract(s) or to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer.  If Buyer fails to waive any such prior disapproval and does not terminate this Agreement before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its prior disapproval of the corresponding Non-Terminable Contract(s).  All of the Contracts which are either terminable on thirty (30) days or less notice or which are not disapproved by Buyer, or with respect to which Buyer’s initial disapproval is waived or deemed to be waived hereunder, are referred to herein as the “Approved Contracts.”

 

ARTICLE 5

8.3                  Lease Enforcement.  Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1 above, prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enforce the rights and remedies of the landlord under any Pre-Effective Date Lease or New Lease, by summary proceedings or otherwise (including, without limitation, the right to remove any Tenant), and to apply all or any portion of any Tenant Deposits then held by Seller toward any loss or damage incurred by Seller by reason of any defaults by Tenants, and the exercise of any such rights or remedies shall not affect the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement in any manner or entitle Buyer to a reduction in, or credit or allowance against, the Purchase Price or give rise to any other claim on the part of Buyer.

9.7                  Prorations and Closing Costs.

 

9.7.1       Prorations.

 

(a)           Seller and Buyer agree to adjust, as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Proration Time”) on the then applicable six (6) month real property tax billing period, the following (collectively, the “Proration Items”):  real estate and personal property taxes and assessments (subject to the terms of Section 9.7.1(b) below), utility bills (except as hereinafter provided), and collected Rents (subject to the terms of Section 9.7.1(b) below) payable by the owner of the Property.  Seller will be charged and credited for the amounts of all of the Proration Items relating to the period up to and including the Proration Time, and Buyer will be charged and credited for all of the Proration Items relating to the period after the Proration Time. Such preliminary estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on a preliminary closing statement to be prepared by Seller and submitted to Buyer for Buyer’s approval prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement”).  The Closing Statement, once agreed upon, shall be signed by Buyer and Seller and delivered to the Escrow Agent for purposes of making the preliminary proration adjustment at Closing subject to the final cash settlement provided for below.  The preliminary proration shall be paid at Closing by Buyer to Seller (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Buyer (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Buyer) by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by Buyer in payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing.  If the actual amounts of the Proration Items are not known as of the Proration Time, the prorations will be made at Closing on the basis of the best evidence then available; thereafter, when actual figures are received (not to exceed 120 days after closing), re-prorations will be made on the basis of the actual figures, and a final cash settlement will be made between Seller and Buyer.  No prorations will be made in relation to insurance premiums, and Seller’s insurance policies will not be assigned to Buyer.  The provisions of this Section 9.7.1(a) will survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months.

 

(b)           Buyer will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the prorated amount (as of the Proration Time) of all Rent previously paid to or collected by Seller and attributable to any period following the Proration Time.  Rents are “Delinquent” when they were due prior to the Closing Date, and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Closing Date.  Delinquent Rents will not be prorated.  All sums collected by Buyer from and after Closing from each Tenant will be applied first to current amounts owed by such Tenant and then to Delinquent Rent owed by such Tenant to the extent not previously collected by Seller.  Buyer shall deliver to Seller all Delinquent Rent collected hereunder on a monthly basis within five (5) days of the end of each calendar month. Buyer shall not have an exclusive right to collect

 

34



 

any sums due Seller from Tenant under the Leases and Seller hereby retains the right to collect any sums due Seller from Tenants under the Leases for any sums due Seller for period attributable to Seller’s ownership of the Property; provided, however, Seller shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings including eviction against any current Tenant.  The provisions of this Section 9.7.1(b) will survive the Closing.

 

(c)           All ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes with respect to the Property shall be prorated as of the Proration Time on a cash basis for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, regardless of the year for which such taxes are assessed.

 

(d)           Water, gas, steam, electricity and other public utility charges will be paid by the Seller to the utility company to the Closing Date.  The Seller shall arrange for a final reading of all utility meters (covering gas, water, steam and electricity) as of the Closing.  To the extent required by the applicable utility company to maintain continuity of service to the Property, Seller and Buyer shall jointly execute a letter to each of such utility companies advising such utility companies of the termination of the Seller’s responsibility for such charges for utilities furnished to the Property as of the date of the Closing and commencement of the Buyer’s responsibilities therefor from and after such date.  If a bill is obtained from any such utility company as of the Closing, then Seller shall pay such bill on or before the Closing.  If such bill shall not have been obtained on or before the Closing, then Seller shall, upon receipt of such bill, pay all such utility charges as evidenced by such bill or bills pertaining to the period prior to the Closing, and the Buyer shall pay all such utility charges pertaining to the period thereafter.  Any bill which shall be rendered which shall cover a period both before and after the date of Closing shall be apportioned between the Buyer and the Seller as of the Closing.  Seller will be entitled to all deposits presently in effect with the utility providers, and Buyer will be obligated to make its own arrangements for deposits with the utility providers.

 

(e)           Revenues (but not up-front payments), if any, arising out of telephone booths, vending machines, washing machines or other income-producing agreements shall be adjusted and prorated on an if, as and when collected basis.  Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer expressly acknowledges and agrees that the unit fee paid up-front by Comcast of California/Colorado/Texas/ Washington, Inc. (“Comcast”) under that certain Service Agreement by and between Seller and Comcast dated October 25, 2007 shall not be prorated.

 

(f)            Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing for all Tenant Deposits then outstanding under the Leases and for all Rent paid in advance (to the extent not prorated as set forth in (b) above).  As of the Closing, Buyer shall assume Seller’s obligations related to the Tenant Deposits.  Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from and against all demands and claims made by Tenants arising out of the transfer or disposition of such Tenant Deposits transferred to Buyer.  The provisions of this Section 9.7.1(f) shall expressly survive the Closing.

 

(g)           Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing for all payments due or owing under any Approved Contracts for periods prior to the Closing Date, which amounts shall be prorated as of the Proration Time.  If Seller has paid any

 

35



 

amounts under any Approved Contracts for periods after the Proration Time, Buyer shall pay such amounts to Seller at Closing in addition to the Purchase Price.

 

(h)           Seller shall receive a credit for any and all Reimbursable Lease Expenses as set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement, to the extent that the same have been paid by Seller prior to Closing.  Each party shall make available to the other all Commission Agreements, records, bills, vouchers and other data in such party’s control verifying Reimbursable Lease Expenses and the payment thereof.

 

9.7.2       Closing Costs.  Seller shall pay (a) the county transfer taxes, and (b) costs and charges customarily charged to sellers in accordance with common escrow practices in the county in which the Property is located, other than those costs and charges specifically required to be paid by Buyer hereunder.  Buyer shall pay (a) the premium associated with the issuance of the Title Policy including, without limitation, the premium of any extended coverage, any coverage in excess of the Purchase Price and all endorsements Buyer may require in accordance with Section 4.4, (b) Escrow Agent’s costs and fees, (c) the recording fees required in connection with the transfer of the Property to Buyer, and (d) any additional costs and charges customarily charged to buyers in accordance with common escrow practices in the county in which the Property is located, other than those costs and charges specifically required to be paid by Seller hereunder.

 

9.8                  Broker.  Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Seller that (a) Broker is only representing Seller in this transaction, (b) it did not employ or use any broker or finder to arrange or bring about this transaction, and (c) there are no claims or rights for brokerage commissions or finder’s fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than the commission (“Broker’s Commission”) required to be paid by Seller to Broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Broker.  Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that Seller has not employed any broker with respect to this transaction, other than Broker, and Seller shall only pay the Broker’s Commission.  If any person brings a claim for a commission or finder’s fee based upon any contact, dealings, or communication with Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than Broker, then Buyer shall defend Seller from such claim, and shall indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless from any and all costs, damages, claims, liabilities, or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Seller with respect to the claim. If any person brings a claim for a commission or finder’s fee against Seller based upon any contact, dealings, or communication with Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than Broker, then Seller shall defend Buyer from such claim, and shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any and all costs, damages, claims, liabilities, or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Buyer with respect to the claim.  The provisions of this Section 9.8 shall survive the Closing or, if the purchase and sale is not consummated, any termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 10

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

10.1                Amendment and Modification.  This Agreement may be amended, modified, or supplemented only by a written agreement signed by Buyer and Seller.

 

10.2                Risk of Loss and Insurance Proceeds.

 

10.2.1     Minor Loss.  Buyer shall be bound to purchase the Property for the full Purchase Price as required by the terms hereof, without regard to the occurrence or effect of any damage to the Property or destruction of any improvements thereon or condemnation of any portion of the Property, provided that: (a) the cost to repair any such damage or destruction, or the diminution in the value of the remaining Property as a result of a partial condemnation, equals $500,000 or less, and (b) upon the Closing, there shall be a credit against the Purchase Price due hereunder equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds (other than business interruption or rental loss insurance applicable to the period prior to Closing) or condemnation awards collected by Seller as a result of any such damage or destruction or condemnation, plus the amount of any insurance deductible, less any sums expended by Seller directly toward the restoration or repair of the Property.  If the proceeds or awards have not been collected as of the Closing, then such proceeds (including business interruption or rental loss insurance of Seller which would be applicable to any period subsequent to Closing) or awards shall be assigned to Buyer, except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums expended prior to the Closing to repair or restore the Property, without a reduction of the Purchase Price.

 

10.2.2     Major Loss.  If the amount of the damage or destruction or condemnation as specified above exceeds $500,000, then Buyer may at its option, to be exercised by written notice to Seller within ten (10) business days of Seller’s notice of the occurrence of the damage or destruction or the commencement of condemnation proceedings, terminate this Agreement.  Buyer’s failure to elect to terminate this Agreement within said ten (10) business day period shall be deemed an election by Buyer to consummate this purchase and sale transaction.  If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement within such ten (10) business day period, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement.  If Buyer elects or is deemed to have elected to proceed with the purchase, then upon the Closing, there shall be a credit against the Purchase Price due hereunder equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds (other than business interruption or rental loss insurance applicable to the period prior to Closing) or condemnation awards collected by Seller as a result of any such damage or destruction or condemnation, plus the amount of any insurance deductible, less any sums expended by Seller directly toward the restoration or repair of the Property.  If the proceeds or awards have not been collected as of the Closing, then such proceeds (including business interruption or rental loss insurance of Seller which would be applicable to any period subsequent to Closing) or awards shall be assigned to Buyer, except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums expended prior to the Closing to repair or restore the Property, without a reduction to the Purchase Price.

 

37



 

10.2.3     Insurance Proceeds Assignment.  With respect to the requirement of Seller under Sections 10.2.1 and 10.2.2 above, to assign to Buyer the right to receive insurance awards and payments to be due Seller, Seller agrees that in the event that Seller’s insurance carrier(s) do not permit assignment thereof to Buyer, Seller agrees to request and obtain from the insurance carrier(s) a “policy endorsement” whereby Buyer shall be added as a “loss payee” under the Seller’s policies effective as of the Closing Date.  Thereafter, Seller shall use its good faith efforts to promptly pursue on behalf of Buyer and for Buyer’s benefit such unpaid awards and payments including any payments under business interruption or rental loss insurance applicable to any period subsequent to Closing.

10.18              Electronic Signatures.  Signatures to this Agreement, any amendment hereof and any notice given hereunder, transmitted by telecopy or electronic mail shall be valid and effective to bind the party so signing.  Each party agrees to promptly deliver an execution original of this Agreement (and any amendment hereto) with its actual signature to the other party, but a failure to do so shall not affect the enforceability of this Agreement (or any amendment hereto), it being expressly agreed that each party to this Agreement shall be bound by its own telecopied or e-mailed signature and shall accept the telecopied or e-mailed signature of the other party to this Agreement.

 

10.19              No Reservation of Property.  The preparation and/or delivery of unsigned drafts of this Agreement shall not create any legally binding rights in the Property and/or obligations of the parties, and Buyer and Seller acknowledge that this Agreement shall be of no effect until it is duly executed by both Buyer and Seller.

 

10.20              Natural Hazard Disclosure.  Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Seller may be required to disclose if the property lies within the following natural hazard areas or zones:  (i) a special flood hazard area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (California Civil Code Section 1103(c)(1)); (ii) an area of potential flooding (California Government Code Section 8589.4); (iii) a very high fire hazard severity zone (California Government Code Section 51178 et seq.); (iv) a wild land area that may contain substantial forest fire risks and hazards (Public Resources Code Section 4135; (v) earthquake fault zone (Public Resources Code Section 2622); or (vi) a seismic hazard zone (Public Resources Code Section 2696) (sometimes all of the preceding are herein collectively called the “Natural Hazard Matters”).  Accordingly, Seller shall no later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration

Property and the Shopping Center may, from time-to-time, need to grant one another additional easements, rights-of-ways, rights etc. to ensure access to certain portions of the Property and/or the Shopping Center (e.g. the roof of the Property) and the proper and equitable management and ownership of each asset; (d) Buyer covenants that Buyer will grant Seller and its successor and assigns such easements and rights-of-way and make such accommodations as may from time-to-time be reasonably necessary; provided, however, that no such grants or accommodations shall (i) have a material adverse effect on the value of the Property, or (ii) materially interfere with the use of the Property as a residential community, and (e) the foregoing covenant shall run with the Land and shall be evidenced by a covenant recorded against the Land at the Closing (the “Covenant Running With The Land”) which covenant shall be in the form of Exhibit H which shall be negotiated in good faith on the terms and conditions described herein and if agreed upon shall be attached hereto as an amendment to this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.  In the event that the parties have not agreed upon such Exhibit by the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, either party by notice to the other shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and the parties shall have no further obligation to one another except as set forth herein.  Buyer agrees that its obligations hereunder shall expressly survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.  Moreover, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that its breach of the terms and conditions of this Section 10.23 will constitute immediate and irreparable damage to the Seller and its successors and assigns, which cannot be fully and adequately compensated in money damages and which will warrant preliminary and other injunctive relief, an order for specific performance, and other equitable relief.  In connection with the foregoing, Buyer further agrees that no bond or other security shall be required in obtaining such equitable relief and Buyer hereby consents to the issuance of such injunction and to the ordering of specific performance.  Buyer acknowledges that Seller’s remedies hereunder are cumulative and other action may be taken and remedies enforced against it in the event of a breach of this Section.

 

10.24              Prohibition of Condominium Conversion.  Buyer represents, warrants and covenants to Seller that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Buyer shall not, for a period of ten (10) years from August 1, 2003, the date of completion of construction of the Improvements (the “Completion Date”), convert the Property into condominiums or similar forms of subdivided ownership.  In connection with the foregoing, Buyer further agrees that (a) the prohibition against condominium conversions is reasonable under the circumstances existing as of the Effective Date, (b) if Buyer sells or otherwise transfers the Property within ten (10) years of the Completion Date, then Buyer shall notify its buyer in writing of this restriction and include a similar prohibition against condominium conversions in any purchase and sale or similar agreement to so transfer the Property, (c) Buyer shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Seller and its Affiliates harmless, from any and all Losses resulting from Buyer’s breach of the representation, warranty and covenant contained in this Section 10.24, (d) without in any way limiting the materiality of the other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 10.24 are material and included as a material portion of the consideration given by Buyer to Seller in exchange for Seller’s performance under this Agreement, (e) Buyer acknowledges that Seller has given Buyer material concessions regarding this transaction in exchange for Buyer agreeing to the provisions of this Section 10.24, and (f) Buyer’s obligations under this Section 10.24 shall expressly survive the Closing and the deliver of the Deed.  In addition, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that its breach of the terms and conditions of this Section 10.24 will constitute immediate and irreparable damage to the Seller, which cannot be fully and adequately

 

46



 

compensated in money damages and which will warrant preliminary and other injunctive relief, an order for specific performance, and other equitable relief.  In connection with the foregoing, Buyer further agrees that no bond or other security shall be required in obtaining such equitable relief and Buyer hereby consent to the remedy of an injunction or specific performance to the extent Seller is entitled thereto.  Buyer acknowledges that Seller’s remedies hereunder are cumulative and other action may be taken and remedies enforced against it in the event of a breach of this Section.  At the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall record a memorandum of agreement (the “Memorandum”).

 

10.25              Rule 3-14 Audit.  Seller acknowledges that under Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, Buyer is required to obtain certain information in connection with reports Buyer is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.25, Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer’s auditors in the preparation of such audited financial statements.  In furtherance of the foregoing, (a) Seller shall, during normal business hours and upon not less than three (3) business days’ prior written notice, allow Buyer’s auditors reasonable access to such books and records maintained by Seller and Property Manager exclusively in respect of the Property solely to the extent necessary to prepare and file such audited financial statements in compliance with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X; and (b) if Seller has audited financial statements with respect to the Property, Seller shall provide Buyer’s auditors with a copy of such audited financial statements; provided, however, that Buyer expressly acknowledges and agrees that if Seller does not have audited financial statements with respect to the Property, Seller shall be under no obligation to cause such audited financial statements to be prepared.  Seller’s obligation to cooperate shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year.  In consideration of the foregoing, Buyer agrees that Buyer shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Seller, Property Manager and their respective Affiliates, partners, shareholders, members, officers, directors, managers, agents, and employees from and against any and all Losses of any kind or nature, arising out of or in any way connected with Seller’s provision of the materials required by this Section 10.25, including without limitation lawsuits by shareholders or regulators or any other persons whatsoever.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall only be obligated to provide to Buyer Seller’s accounting information at the Property level, and shall not be obligated to provide any information concerning Seller’s capital structure or debt or any of the following: (i) information contained in Seller’s credit reports, credit authorizations, credit or financial analyses or projections, investment analyses, account summaries or other documents prepared solely for Seller’s internal purposes and not directly related to the operation of the Property, including any valuation documents and information regarding the value of the Property and the price paid by Seller therefor; (ii) material which is subject to attorney-client privilege or which is attorney work product; (iii) sales contracts, appraisal reports, letters or loan matters; (iv) financial statements or information relating to Seller or any Affiliate of Seller other than those at the Property level; (v) Seller’s tax returns; or (vi) material which Seller is legally or contractually required to maintain as confidential.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Buyer expressly agrees that Seller’s delivery of any information under this Section 10.25 (X) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 10.11, above; (Y) does not in any manner increase any liability of Seller under this Agreement, or (Z) obviate or waive the “AS IS” provisions of Section 7.2.2, above.  Subject to the terms of this Section 10.25, Seller’s and Buyer’s respective obligation under this Section 10.25 shall expressly survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.
