2.             PURCHASE PRICE.  The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:

 

(a)           Within two (2) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of a fully executed electronic or hard copy of this Agreement, the sum of $2,000,000.00 (the “Earnest Money Deposit”) delivered to Partners Title Company (the “Escrow Agent”) by federally wired immediately available funds to be held by the Escrow Agent, by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  Upon deposit, this Earnest Money Deposit of $2,000,000.00 is nonrefundable unless Seller is in default hereunder or if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement which provides for a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit;

 

(b)           On the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), the balance of the Purchase Price adjusted in accordance with the prorations by federally wired immediately available funds delivered to the Escrow Agent’s account.

(e)           If (i) Seller or an affiliate of Seller becomes a debtor in bankruptcy, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, under Title 11 of the U.S. Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or under any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy law or other similar law; (ii) a trustee or receiver of any property interest is appointed; or (iii) Seller makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors and the Property constitutes property of the bankruptcy estate, then for purposes of this Agreement, the rejection of this Agreement by court order or operation of law, shall constitute a “termination” hereunder and Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Earnest Money Deposit.  Seller acknowledges that its rights and interest in and to the Earnest Money Deposit, are limited to a right of payment only pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the escrow provisions and that the Earnest Money Deposit, shall not be property of the bankruptcy estate.

 

3.             TITLE COMMITMENT AND SURVEY

 

(a)   Attached hereto as Exhibit E is an updated Commitment for Title Insurance Order No. 71075069-X59 dated July 16, 2009 (“Title Commitment”) for an owner’s

 

4



 

CLTA standard coverage title insurance policy (“Title Policy”) issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company, with cooperation from Partners Title Company (“Title Insurer”).  The owner’s Title Policy issued at Closing will be an ALTA 2006 owner’s policy in the amount of the Purchase Price, dated effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to: (i) real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable; (ii) existing leases; and (iii) those title exceptions set forth in Schedule B of the Title Commitment that are: (A) not objected to by Purchaser within the time or manner set forth in this Agreement, or (B) after such objection, are not timely cured (or timely agreed to be cured) by Seller and ultimately waived by Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement.  All of the above are herein referred to as the “Permitted Exceptions”.  Purchaser has delivered a notice to Seller in the form of a letter dated March 19, 2009, from Purchaser’s counsel (“Purchaser’s Notice”, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E-1) pertaining to an earlier version of the Title Commitment dated February 13, 2009 (“Initial Title Commitment”) which lists those title matters in the Initial Title Commitment that are not approved by Purchaser (“Unpermitted Exceptions”).  Seller has responded to the Purchaser’s Notice by a letter dated July 22, 2009 (“Seller’s Reply”, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E-2) and included therewith the revised Title Commitment attached hereto as Exhibit E issued by the Title Company.  Purchaser issued a response letter dated July 29, 2009 (“Purchaser’s Revised Notice”, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E-3) setting forth Purchaser’s remaining Unpermitted Exceptions (“Purchaser’s Updated Title Objections”) based upon Seller’s Reply and the Title Commitment. Seller responded to Purchaser’s Revised Notice on August 3, 2009 (“Seller’s Response”, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E-4).  Subject to Purchaser’s rights under Paragraph 20, Purchaser has approved all of the title exceptions set forth in Schedule B of the Title Commitment as described in subparagraph (iii) above as modified by Purchaser’s Notice, Purchaser’s Revised Notice, Seller’s Reply and

 

5



 

Seller’s Response and agrees, subject to Purchaser’s rights under Paragraph 20 hereof, to take title to the Property subject to those Unpermitted Exceptions as modified by Seller’s Reply and Seller’s Response.  Seller shall be obligated to comply with the terms of Seller’s Reply and Seller’s Response with respect to the Title Commitment; provided, however, Seller has disclosed to Purchaser that Seller has not caused the filtration units and filter inserts at the Property to be inspected and maintained in accordance with the Master Covenant and Agreement Regarding On-Site BMP Maintenance recorded as against the Property on December 14, 2004 as Document ###-###-#### (“BMP Maintenance Covenant”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no exceptions or liens related to financing on the Property or other liens of a definite and ascertainable amount will be considered Permitted Exceptions, and Seller shall Cure such items accordingly by fully paying for such items on or prior to the Closing Date or bonding around such items (but not by insuring over) in a manner acceptable to Purchaser in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion on or prior to the Closing Date.  If any update to the Title Commitment discloses matters which are not reflected on the Title Commitment and Purchaser objects to the same (an “Additional Title Exception”), Purchaser shall give notice (“Purchaser’s Additional Notice”) to Seller of such Additional Title Exception within three (3) business days after the receipt of such update.   Seller shall have three (3) business days after receipt of Purchaser’s Additional Notice (the “Additional Title Cure Period”) to either (i) have the Additional Title Exceptions removed from the Title Commitment, or (ii) obtain a commitment from the Title Insurer to “insure over” the Additional Title Exceptions to Purchaser’s satisfaction, or (iii) commit to “bond over” the Additional Title Exceptions to Purchaser’s satisfaction (collectively, “Additional Title Cure”).  If, during the Additional Title Cure Period, Seller does not perform the Additional Title Cure or commit to perform the Additional Title Cure all of the Additional Title Exceptions, then Purchaser can,

 

6



 

within three (3) business days after the expiration of the Additional Title Cure Period, elect to either take title to the Property subject to such uncured Additional Title Exceptions or terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Earnest Money.  Purchaser’s failure to deliver Purchaser’s Additional Notice shall be conclusive evidence that Purchaser has approved all of the Additional Title Exceptions set forth in Schedule B of the updated Title Commitment as described above, and its failure to terminate this Agreement within three (3) business days after expiration of the Additional Title Cure Period shall be deemed an election by Purchaser to take title to the Property subject to the Additional Title Exceptions as modified by Seller’s Additional Title Cure, if at all.   The Title Commitment shall be conclusive evidence of good title as therein shown as to all matters insured by the policy, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.  On the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the Title Insurer to issue the Title Policy or a “marked up” commitment in conformity with the updated Title Commitment attached as Exhibit E hereto, as modified in accordance with this Paragraph 3(a) and subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, providing an irrevocable commitment by the Title Insurer to issue the Title Policy in accordance with this Agreement.  Seller shall pay the costs of the Title Policy.  Purchaser shall pay the additional costs of an “extended coverage” Title Policy and any special endorsements which Purchaser requires.

 

(b)           Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a survey of the Property, updated January 8, 2009, prepared by Hovell & Pilarski Engineering (the “Survey”).  Purchaser approves the Survey; provided, however, upon execution of this Agreement by Seller and Purchaser, Purchaser may request the surveyor to update the Survey, have it recertified to Purchaser and the Title Company and show additional items on the Survey as noted in Purchaser’s Notice with respect to the Survey, all of the foregoing at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. If the revised Survey discloses matters which are not reflected on the Survey and

 

7



 

demonstrate that the Property is not in compliance with applicable building and zoning codes (a “Survey Defect”), Purchaser shall give notice (“Survey Defect Notice”) to Seller of such Survey Defect.  Seller shall have five (5) business days after receipt of such Survey Defect Notice (“Survey Cure Period”) to either cure or commit to cure (“Survey Cure”) the Survey Defects or advise Purchaser that Seller will not cure the Survey Defects.  If Seller fails to deliver written notice to Purchaser of its election to either cure or not cure the Survey Defects prior to the expiration of the Survey Cure Period, Seller will be deemed to have elected not to cure the Survey Defects.  If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to cure one or more of the Survey Defects, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within three (3) business days after expiration of the Survey Cure Period and receive a full refund of the Earnest Money Deposit.  Purchaser’s failure to terminate this Agreement within three (3) business days after expiration of the Survey Cure Period shall be deemed an election by Purchaser to accept the Survey, as modified by Seller’s Survey Cure, if at all.

 

(c)           Purchaser shall pay for any additional work which Purchaser requires, except for those matters that Seller timely cures or commits to cure as provided herein.

 

(d)           If Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to subparagraph (a) or (b) under this Paragraph 3, then the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to the Purchaser and this Agreement shall be terminated, and except as specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, neither party shall have any further obligation or liability hereunder.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will either of the following be deemed a Permitted Exception: (i) any title matter (whether an Unpermitted Title Exception or an Additional Title Exception) to which Purchaser objects in accordance with the terms of this Agreement that Seller Cures or commits to Cure, or as otherwise set forth in Paragraph 20 hereof (unless expressly waived thereafter by Purchaser hereunder); or (ii) any Survey Defect

 

8



 

that Seller cures or commits to cure in accordance herewith; provided, however, Purchaser shall accept all Unpermitted Exceptions and all Survey Defects that have been Cured.

 

4.     CONDITION OF TITLE/CONVEYANCE.  Seller agrees to convey fee simple title to the Property by Grant Deed (“Deed”) in recordable form subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.  If Seller is unable to convey title to the Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions because of the existence of an additional title exception not shown on the Title Commitment (“New Exception”), then Purchaser can elect to take title to the Property subject to the New Exception or terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Earnest Money Deposit.  If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph, then the Earnest Money Deposit shall be delivered to the Purchaser and except as specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, neither party shall have any further obligation or liability hereunder.  Notwithstanding the aforesaid, all liens of a definite ascertainable amount which are New or Unpermitted Exceptions shall be fully paid for by Seller at or before Closing or bonded around by Seller (but not insured over) at or before Closing in a manner acceptable to the Title Insurer to remove the same from the Title Commitment.  Purchaser’s election to terminate under this Paragraph 4 is not intended to limit any remedy to which Purchaser may be entitled to under this Agreement, including (without limitation) any remedy for a Seller default.

 

5.     PAYMENT OF CLOSING COSTS. Seller shall pay: (a) the costs of the transfer taxes or documentary stamps to be paid with reference to the recording of the Deed, if any; and (b) any costs associated with Seller’s financing on the Property, including prepayment fees and per diem interest.  Purchaser shall pay the closing costs with reference to any loan which Purchaser obtains.  Purchaser and Seller shall equally share the Escrow Agent’s escrow fees.  Each party shall pay its attorney’s fees and other legal costs in connection with this Agreement (subject to the express limitations herein).  All other costs not expressly addressed in this Paragraph 5 or

 

9



 

elsewhere in this Agreement will be the responsibility of the party typically responsible for such costs in a transaction in the county where the Property is located.

 

6.             DAMAGE, CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION.

 

(a)   The risk of loss or damage to the Property by fire or other casualty prior to Closing is borne by Seller; provided that the disposition of the Property following a fire or casualty shall be governed by this Paragraph 6.  Seller shall give Purchaser prompt notice of any destruction of any part of the Property or the commencement of any condemnation proceedings against the Property between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date.  If the Property suffers damage as a result of any insured casualty prior to the Closing Date and can be repaired or restored for $250,000 or less, then Seller shall commence the repair or restoration in a expeditious manner, pursuant to construction, repair and restoration contracts approved in advance  by Purchaser, in Purchaser’s commercially reasonable judgment (“Repair Contracts”) (except no such advance approval shall be required in the case of an emergency, as determined by Seller in its commercially reasonable judgment, that requires prompt repair or restoration by Seller, provided Seller provides copies of such Repair Contracts to Purchaser promptly after obtaining the same) and the Closing will occur with no reduction in the Purchase Price, provided that, with respect to such damage that has not been repaired or restored, at Closing: (i) Seller shall assign to Purchaser all proceeds of property insurance payable to Seller, less any amounts paid by Seller to repair, restore, or clean up the Property; (ii) Purchaser will receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of any deductible under Seller’s property insurance policy; (iii) Purchaser shall accept the Property and remaining Improvements in their damaged state; (iv) Seller has no further obligation to repair or restore any damaged or destroyed portions of the Property; and (v) Seller will assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s rights, title and interest under the Repair Contracts, pursuant to an assignment document

 

10



 

in substantially the same form as the assignment of Service Contracts contemplated by this Agreement.  If the cost of repair or restoration exceeds $250,000, then Purchaser can elect to either: (a) terminate this Agreement within seven (7) business days after receipt of written notice of the cost to repair or restore such casualty and receive a full refund of the Earnest Money Deposit; or (b) proceed to Closing with no reduction in the Purchase Price and at Closing: (i) Seller shall assign to Purchaser all proceeds of property insurance payable to Seller, less any amounts paid by Seller to repair, restore, or clean up the Property; (ii) Purchaser will receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of any deductible under Seller’s property insurance policy; (iii) Purchaser shall accept the Property and remaining Improvements in their damaged state; and (iv) Seller has no further obligation to repair or restore any damaged or destroyed portions of the Property.

 

(b)   If condemnation proceedings (“Proceedings”) are instituted against the Property and Purchaser, in its commercially reasonable judgment, determines that such  proceedings would have a material adverse impact on the Property, then Purchaser can elect to either take the Property subject to the Proceedings along with an assignment of Seller’s interest in the Proceedings or terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Earnest Money Deposit.  If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, it shall be by notice to the Seller within fifteen (15) business days after Seller notifies Purchaser of the Proceedings and Purchaser shall receive a full refund of the Earnest Money Deposit.  If Proceedings are instituted against the Property and Purchaser does not have the option to terminate this Agreement as provided above, then at Closing, Purchaser will take an assignment of Seller’s interest in the Proceedings.

 

(c)   If the Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Paragraph, then the Earnest Money Deposit shall be delivered to the Purchaser and except as specifically provided for

 

11



 

elsewhere in this Agreement, neither party shall have any further obligation or liability hereunder.

 

7.             AS-IS CONDITION.

 

(a)   Except as may be specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any document executed by Seller in connection with the Closing (the “Closing Documents”), Purchaser is not relying on Seller having made any inquiry as to the condition of the Property or the Leases, and except as may be specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any of the Closing Documents, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it will be purchasing the Property based solely upon its inspection and investigations of the Property and that Purchaser will be purchasing the Property “AS IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” based upon the condition of the Property as of the date of this Agreement, subject to reasonable wear and tear and, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 6, loss by fire or other casualty or condemnation from the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date.  Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that, except as may otherwise be specifically set forth in Paragraph 18 or elsewhere in this Agreement or in any of the Closing Documents, neither Seller nor its consultants, brokers or agents have made any other representations or warranties of any kind upon which Purchaser is relying as to any matters concerning the Property, including, but not limited to, any implied warranty as to the quality of the construction of the Property or its fitness for use as an apartment project, the condition of the Land or any of the Improvements, whether or not the Property is subject to airport corridor noise, the existence or nonexistence of asbestos, lead in water, lead in paint, radon, underground or above ground storage tanks, petroleum, toxic waste or any Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Substances (as such terms are defined below), whether or not the Property is affected by the Natural Hazard Laws (as such term is defined below), the Tenants of the Property or the Leases affecting the Property,

(b)           Seller has provided to Purchaser certain unaudited historical financial information regarding the Property relating to certain periods of time in which Seller owned the Property.  Except as may be otherwise specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement or in any of the Closing Documents, Seller makes no representation or warranty that such material is complete or accurate or that Purchaser will achieve similar financial or other results with respect to the operations of the Property, it being acknowledged by Purchaser that Seller’s operation of the Property and allocations of revenues or expenses may be vastly different than Purchaser may be able to attain.  Purchaser acknowledges that it is a sophisticated and experienced purchaser of real estate and further that Purchaser has relied upon its own investigation and inquiry with respect to the operation of the Property and releases Seller and the Related Parties from any liability with respect to such historical information.

21



 

a default by Purchaser.  Upon receipt of Purchaser’s Notice, Seller shall have the right to cure such Breach within ten days after receipt of such notice (or, if earlier, the Closing Date).   If Seller is unable to timely cure the Breach, then Seller shall so notify Purchaser (“Seller’s Notice”).  In the event of such an uncured Breach (regardless of whether Seller’s Notice is delivered), Purchaser can either waive the Breach or, upon notice to Seller and to the Escrow Agent, terminate this Agreement and seek any other remedy to which Purchaser is entitled hereunder.  In such event, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to the Purchaser and except as specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, neither party shall have any further obligation or liability hereunder.

Rents actually collected for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs (exclusive of Delinquent Rent, as hereinafter defined, but including prepaid rents covering a period subsequent to Closing); water and other utility charges; fuels; prepaid revenues and expenses covering a period subsequent to Closing (including payments made to Seller arising out of or related to the OPA (defined below), the Redevelopment Plan (defined below) or any affordable housing regulations); real and personal property taxes (“Property Taxes”); and other similar revenue and expense items shall be adjusted ratably as of 11:59 P.M. Pacific Time on the Closing Date (“Proration Date”), and credited or debited to the balance of the cash due at Closing. All regular and supplemental taxes and assessments attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Seller. All regular and supplemental taxes and assessments attributable to the period after the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Purchaser. If the amount of any of the items to be prorated is not then ascertainable, the adjustment thereof shall be on the basis of the most recent ascertainable data.  With respect to Property Taxes, if Closing occurs before the current fiscal year’s tax bills are available, the proration will be based upon the previous fiscal year’s tax bill and the proration shall be readjusted and settled by Seller and Purchaser within ten (10) business days after such tax bill is issued. If special assessments have been levied against the Property for improvements, then the amount of any installments which are attributable to periods on or prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by the Seller; and the amount of installments which are attributable to periods

 

24



 

after the Closing Date shall be paid by the Purchaser.  If any charges, expenses or other items to be prorated hereunder are unavailable on the Closing Date, a readjustment will be made within ten (10) business days following the availability of accurate bills and figures.

(c)           SECURITY DEPOSITS.  The full amount of the security deposits (and interest thereon if required by law) for the return of which Purchaser or any subsequent owner of the Property could be held accountable or responsible on or after the Closing Date will, at Closing, be paid to Purchaser by Seller and assumed by Purchaser.

(c)           Seller hereby covenants that prior to the Closing:

 

(i)            At all times from the Effective Date to the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain in force all existing fire and extended coverage insurance policies and comprehensive general liability insurance policies covering the Property.

 

(ii)           Seller shall operate, lease and manage the Property (or to cause its property manager to do so) in at least the same manner that Seller (or its property manager, as the case may be) has heretofore operated, leased and managed the Property (wear and tear, and casualty excepted).  Seller shall not enter into Leases with a term longer than eighteen (18) months, and at no time will there be more than an aggregate

 

38



 

total of fifteen (15) Leases with original terms shorter than six (6) months.  Seller shall not modify, terminate, assign or amend existing Leases or provide new incentives to new or existing tenants that are inconsistent in any material respect with the rent and concession guidelines attached hereto as Exhibit X without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in its commercially reasonable discretion.

40



 

Purchaser in facilitating any discussions Purchaser or its affiliates may have with all management personnel with respect to the potential hire of the personnel by Purchaser’s affiliated management company.  Additionally, prior to Closing, Seller shall cause the management personnel to cooperate with Purchaser’s management company in the transition of the management of the Property.

 

(xi)           From the Effective Date through the Closing Date, Seller shall not create any additional encumbrances on the Property, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, to be given or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

(xii)          In addition to any claim or notice identified on Exhibit V hereto, Seller will, prior to Closing, but in any event within 2 business days after Seller’s knowledge thereof, notify Purchaser of any claim asserted by a tenant of which Seller has written notice that could adversely affect the right of landlord to collect rent from such tenant, and of any written notice of default or breach on the part of landlord under any of the Leases (collectively, a “Tenant Claim”).

(xiv)        Seller shall terminate all Master Agreements, to the extent they affect the Property, effective as of the Closing;

 

(d)           Purchaser’s right to make a claim against Seller for a breach of an indemnity (except for Seller’s indemnity for a brokerage commission), representation, warranty or covenant under this Agreement or the Exhibits attached hereto (“Claim”) shall expire on the one year anniversary of the Closing and delivery of the Deed (“Survival Date”).  As to any Claim, Purchaser must: (i) notify Seller of the existence of the Claim in question (“Claim

 

41



 

Notice”); and (ii) if not otherwise resolved, then Purchaser may, at its option, institute legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction within one (1) year after the Survival Date (“Judicial Proceedings Date”).  Any Claim for which a Claim Notice is not delivered by Purchaser to Seller on or prior to the Survival Date or for which legal proceedings are not instituted on or prior to the Judicial Proceedings Date, then such Claim shall be deemed to have been waived by Purchaser and rendered null and void and of no further force or effect.  Seller’s total liability in the aggregate for all Claims shall not exceed One Million ($1,000,000.00) Dollars.  Seller shall not be liable for any Claim(s) until the aggregate of all Claims exceeds Twenty Thousand ($20,000.00) Dollars.  The terms and limitations placed upon Seller in this Paragraph 18(d) shall apply notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement.  Fairfield California Housing Fund LLC (“FCHF”) irrevocably and absolutely guarantees to Purchaser the timely payment in full for all amounts due and payable to Purchaser in connection with a Claim (subject to the aggregate limitation on liability of $1,000,000 set forth above).  FCHF represents and warrants that FCHF, as an affiliate of Seller, derives substantial benefit in consideration for the foregoing guaranty.

 

19.           COMPLIANCE WITH OFAC.

R. 3152, Public Law 107-56, and the Executive Order and the regulations promulgated thereunder and including persons and entities named on the OFAC Specially Designated Nations and Blocked Persons List.  If Purchaser obtains knowledge that Purchaser has become listed on the Lists or has been indicted, arraigned, or custodially detained on charges involving money laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering, Purchaser shall immediately notify Seller and in such event, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Contract without penalty or liability to Seller immediately upon delivery of written notice thereof to Purchaser.  In such event the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser.

44



 

(iv)          There shall be no more than five (5) Tenant Claims, or any number of Tenant Claims in excess of $25,000 in the aggregate, outstanding at Closing that have not been cured by Seller.

45



 

(i)            The CRA shall have approved for execution, and executed and delivered to the Escrow Agent for Closing, a Partial Assignment of Owner Participation Agreement and Consent to Assignment (“OPA Assignment”) of the OPA, in substantially the same form as the form attached hereto as Exhibit U, which is hereby approved by Seller and Purchaser, subject to modification as required by the CRA.  Seller and Purchaser covenant and agree to cooperate in good faith to diligently resolve any changes to the OPA Assignment required by the CRA, and Seller further covenants to use best efforts to obtain the approval and execution of the OPA Assignment, in the form attached hereto (as required to be modified by the CRA), by the CRA prior to the Closing Date; and

 

(ii)           The MTA shall have approved for execution, and executed and delivered to the Escrow Agent for Closing, an assignment and assumption of the Greenways License Agreement (“MTA Licensee Agreement”) between the Seller and Purchaser substantially in the form of Exhibit Y hereto (the “MTA Assignment”), which is substantially the same form as the Assignment and Assumption of the Greenway License Agreement and MTA Consent dated July 1, 2008 between Seller and CRA, a copy of which Seller has provided to Purchaser, and Seller further covenants to use best efforts to obtain the approval and execution of the MTA Assignment by the MTA prior to the Closing Date.

 

(c)           If there is a failure of a Closing Condition, Purchaser can either (i) waive such failure and close this transaction, or (ii) notify Seller in writing that Purchaser has elected to terminate this Agreement and obtain a return of the Earnest Money Deposit (which notice shall specify the details of such failure); provided, however, that a termination by Purchaser for a failure of a Closing Condition shall not become effective until the time and date scheduled for

 

46



 

Closing, and then only if the Closing Condition shall not have been satisfied by such time and date.  In event of termination for a failure of a Closing Condition, Purchaser shall receive a full refund of the Earnest Money Deposit, and except as may be specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, neither party shall have any further liability hereunder; provided, however, an Insolvency Event shall not be deemed a Seller default under any provision of this Agreement, including without limitation, Paragraph 18(b)(xiii) hereof.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, if despite the cooperation and good faith efforts of the Seller and Purchaser to satisfy the Additional Closing Conditions, the same have not been satisfied as of the October 15, 2009, then either party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party on or before the October 16, 2009, whereupon the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations under this Agreement.

 

(e)           A failure of any Closing Condition or Additional Closing Condition under this Paragraph 20 shall not limit or supersede any remedy to which either party is otherwise entitled under this Agreement, including (without limitation) any remedy for a default or breach.

25.           EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT.  The parties hereto will each execute three (3) copies of this Agreement and forward them to the Escrow Agent.  Seller’s three (3) executed copies of this Agreement will be accompanied with a direction to deliver a fully executed copy of this Agreement to the Purchaser and to the Seller.

 

26.           GOVERNING LAW.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state in which the Property is located.

 

27.           ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all other negotiations, understandings and representations made by and between the parties and the agents, servants and employees.

 

49



 

28.           COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

29.           CAPTIONS.  Paragraph titles or captions contained herein are inserted as a matter of convenience and for reference, and in no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

 

30.           NON-BUSINESS DAYS.  Whenever action must be taken (including the giving of notice of the delivery of documents) under this Agreement during a certain period of time (or by a particular date) that ends (or occurs) on a non-business day, then such period (or date) shall be extended until the immediately following business day.  As used herein, “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday.

 

31.           SEVERABILITY.  If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or 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.

 

32.           NO WAIVER.  No waiver by a party of any breach of this Agreement or of any warranty or representation hereunder by the other party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach by such other party (whether preceding or succeeding and whether or not of the same or similar nature), and no acceptance of payment or performance by a party after any breach by the other party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or of any representation or warranty hereunder by such other party, whether or not the first party knows of such breach at the time it accepts such payment or performance.  No failure or delay by

 

50



 

a party to exercise any right it may have by reason of the default of the other party shall operate as a waiver of default or modification of this Agreement or shall prevent the exercise of any right by the first party while the other party continues to be so in default.

 

33.           ATTORNEYS’ FEES.  In the event either party commences legal proceedings against the other party pursuant to any right to do so under this Agreement, then the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

35.           CONFIDENTIALITY.  Purchaser and Seller each hereby agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any information obtained with reference to the Property, including but not limited to the Reports, confidential, provided that the parties may reveal such information regarding the terms and provisions of this Agreement: (a) as may be necessary in their reasonable discretion to comply with the provisions of this Agreement; (b) in the ordinary course of business; or (c) to parties (or their employees, agents, due diligence analysts or other representatives) from or through whom

38.           MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.  This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against any party merely by virtue of the fact that the same has been prepared by such party or its counsel, it being recognized that each party hereto has contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement,

 

52



 

and that each party hereto acknowledges and waives any claim contesting the existence and the adequacy of the consideration given by the other parties hereto in entering into this Agreement.Except as to those obligations which specifically survive the Closing, all of Seller’s other obligations hereunder shall merge with the Deed.

53



 

itself and its officers, directors, affiliates, employees, agents, independent contractors and subcontractors and anyone directly employed by Releasing Party at the Property or for whose acts at the Property Releasing Party is liable (collectively, “Personnel”), as a material part of the consideration for this Agreement, hereby releases and waives all claims and demands against MTA for any loss, damage or injury of Releasing Party and/or its Personnel arising out of an Assumed Transit Proximity Risk. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

 

THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN ADVISED BY LEGAL COUNSEL AND IS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS:

 

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

 

THE UNDERSIGNED, BEING AWARE OF THIS CODE SECTION, HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE AGAINST THE RELEASED PARTIES THEREUNDER, AS WELL AS UNDER ANY OTHER STATUTES OR COMMON LAW PRINCIPLES OF SIMILAR EFFECT.

The provisions of this Paragraph shall forever survive the delivery and recording of the Deed.

 

41.           NONDISCRIMINATION AND NONSEGREGATION.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person, or group of

 

54



 

persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual preference/orientation, age, disability, medical condition, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) acquired or perceived, retaliation for having filed a discrimination complaint, marital status, national origin or ancestry in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Property, nor shall the Purchaser or any person claiming under or through Purchaser establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees or vendees of the land.

 

42.           RIGHT TO AUDIT.  At Purchaser’s request, at any time before Closing or within three (3) years after Closing, and without cost or expense to Seller, Seller shall provide to Purchaser’s designated independent auditor reasonable access to the books and records of the Property to the extent in Seller’s possession, and all related information in Seller’s possession regarding the period for which Purchaser is required to have the Property audited under the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller from any claim, damage, loss, or liability to which Seller is at any time subjected by any person who is not a party to this Agreement as a result of Seller’s compliance with this Paragraph, except to the extent any such claim, damage, loss, or liability arises from Seller’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation.  The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

43.           PAST PAYMENTS AND FUTURE PAYMENTS.

 

(a)           Purchaser shall have no liability for nor any right, title or interest in any Past Plan Payments (as defined herein) or any other amounts due Seller under the OPA attributable to the period of Seller’s ownership of the Property, and on and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be entitled to all Future Plan Payments (as defined herein) attributable to

Purchaser’s period of ownership of the Property relating to the Property.  Seller shall have no right, title or interest in any Future Plan Payments from and after the Closing Date, nor shall Seller have any liability to Purchaser for any failure by Purchaser to receive any or all of such Future Plan Payments, unless the reason that Purchaser did not receive such Future Plan Payments was also a breach by Seller of a specific representation or warranty under this Agreement.

 

(b)           Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has not yet received, but expects to receive, payments under the HUD Loan with respect to the tax year July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009, which Seller anticipates to be approximately $204,849.00 (the “2009 Payments”), which payments are not a Future Plan Payment and is the property of Seller.  In the event that the CRA pays any of the 2009 Payments after the Closing to Purchaser, regardless of whether such payments are more or less than the amounts anticipated by Seller as provided herein, Purchaser shall promptly remit the full amount of same to Seller.  Seller also has not received such payments with respect to the tax year July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010, which Seller anticipates to be approximately $208,946 (the “2010 Payments”), which payments, upon receipt by either Purchaser or Seller (unless received prior to the Closing Date, then on the Closing Date), are to be prorated as of the Closing Date and the Seller’s prorated amount of the 2010 payments is also not a Future Plan Payment and is the property of Seller. In the event that the CRA pays any of the 2010 Payments after the Closing to Purchaser, Purchaser shall prorate the same as of the Closing Date and promptly remit the prorated amount due Seller to Seller together with back up documentation in support of the prorated amount.  In the event that the CRA pays any of the 2010 Payments after the Closing to Seller, Seller shall prorate the same as of the Closing Date and promptly remit the prorated amount due Purchaser to Purchaser together with back up documentation in support of the prorated amount.

(c)           The CRA annual subsidy payment of $1,988,276.24 for the CRA fiscal year July 1, 2009 - June 30, 2010 (“CRA 2009/10 Payment”) is expected to be paid by CRA on or about September 30, 2009 which payment, upon receipt by either Purchaser or Seller (unless received prior to the Closing Date, then on the Closing Date), is to be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date. Seller’s prorated amount of the CRA 2009/10 Payment is not a Future Plan Payment and is the property of Seller.  In the event that the CRA pays any of the CRA 2009/10 Payment after the Closing to Purchaser, Purchaser shall prorate the same as of the Closing Date and promptly remit the prorated amount due Seller to Seller together with back up documentation in support of the prorated amount. In the event that the CRA pays any of the CRA 2009/10 Payment after the Closing to Seller, Seller shall prorate the same as of the Closing Date and promptly remit the prorated amount due Purchaser to Purchaser together with back up documentation in support of the prorated amount.
