          (a) Seller’s Deliveries.

          (c) Review of Preliminary Title Report/Survey. Not later than 5:00 p.m. PST on the date that is the later to occur of the following: (I) five (5) Business Days following Buyer’s receipt of the last of the Preliminary Title Report and the Survey; or (II) five (5) Business Days following the Effective Date, Buyer shall have the right to notify Seller in writing (“Disapproved Title Exceptions Notice”) of Buyer’s disapproval of any matters set forth in the Preliminary Title Report and the Survey (“Disapproved Title Exceptions”). In the event Buyer timely delivers to Seller a Disapproved Title Exceptions Notice, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to agree to cure one or more of the Disapproved Title Exceptions by giving Buyer written notice (“Cure Notice”) of such election not later than 5:00 p.m. PST on the date that is five (5) Calendar Days following Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s Disapproved Title Exceptions Notice. Following the timely receipt of a Disapproved Title Exceptions Notice from Buyer, if Seller fails to timely deliver a Cure Notice to Buyer, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any of the Disapproved Title Exceptions. A Disapproved Title Exception shall be deemed to have been cured if Seller causes such item to be removed from the record title of the Real Property prior to the Closing or otherwise cures such Disapproved Title Exception as reasonably determined by Buyer.
     In the event Seller timely elects (or is deemed to have timely elected) not to cure the Disapproved Title Exceptions, then prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period, Buyer may elect: (i) to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof; or (ii) to not terminate this Agreement and the Escrow pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof, in which case those Disapproved Title Exceptions which are not cured and which are not Monetary Obligations which Seller is obligated to cure on or before the Closing pursuant to Section 5.1(e) hereof, shall be deemed to constitute Permitted Title Exceptions.
     Following the timely receipt of a Disapproved Title Exceptions Notice from Buyer, if Seller elects to cure one or more of the Disapproved Title Exceptions, then Seller shall have until the Cure Deadline to either: (y) cure all of the applicable Disapproved Title Exceptions that Seller has elected to cure and deliver written notice to Buyer of such cure; or (z) deliver written notice to Buyer of Seller’s failure to cure one or more of the Disapproved Title Exceptions that Seller has elected to cure. In the event Seller: (A) timely elects to cure one or more of the Disapproved Title Exceptions; and (B) fails to timely cure one or more of the Disapproved Title Exceptions that Seller has elected to cure on or before the Cure Deadline, provided such Disapproved Title Exceptions are not the result of a breach by Seller of Section 5.1(e) or Section 5.1(f) hereof, then Seller shall not be in default under this Agreement and, in such a case, within one (1) Business Day following Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s notice of such failure to cure, Buyer may elect to either: (1) continue this Agreement in effect without modification and purchase and acquire the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, subject to such Disapproved Title Exceptions (which will be deemed to constitute “Permitted Title Exceptions”); provided, however, in such a case, the Scheduled Closing Date shall automatically be extended for ten (10) Business Days to the Extended Closing Date; or (2) terminate this Agreement and the Escrow pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.5(a) hereof, unless one or more of such Disapproved Title Exceptions are the result of a breach by Seller of Section 5.1(e) or Section 5.1(f) hereof, in which case the provisions of Section 8.6(a) hereof shall govern. Upon any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow pursuant to Section 4.1(c)(2) hereof, in addition to Buyer’s rights and remedies under Section 8.5(a) or 8.6(a) hereof, as applicable, Buyer shall be entitled to recover from Seller all of Buyer’s actual out-of-pocket legal fees, costs

 


 

and expenses, together with all other due diligence fees, costs and expenses, incurred in connection with this Agreement and its review of the Property.
     Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the term “Permitted Title Exceptions” include any Monetary Obligations, and Seller hereby agrees to and shall remove all Monetary Obligations on or before the Closing.
     Fee title to the Real Property shall be conveyed by Seller to Buyer subject only to the following exceptions to title (collectively, the “Permitted Title Exceptions”):
               (i) The Loan.
               (ii) Non-delinquent real and personal property taxes and assessments.
               (iii) The lien of supplemental taxes, if any, assessed pursuant to Chapter 3.5, commencing with Section 75, of the California Revenue and Taxation Code as a result of a change in ownership or new construction occurring on or after the date of the policy.
               (iv) Any lien voluntarily imposed by Buyer.
               (v) Any matters set forth in the Preliminary Title Report and the Survey that are approved by Buyer in accordance with the procedures and within the time periods set forth in Section 4.1(c) hereof.
               (vi) All New Title Exceptions approved by Buyer pursuant to Section 4.1(d) hereof.
          (d) New Title Exceptions. In the event that prior to the Closing, any new title exceptions are discovered by or revealed to Seller, which new title exceptions were not otherwise set forth or referred to in the Preliminary Title Report and/or in the Survey (“New Title Exceptions”), Seller shall deliver written notice to Buyer disclosing the existence of such New Title Exceptions, together with copies of all underlying documents. Each such New Title Exception shall be deemed to constitute a Disapproved Title Exception except to the extent Buyer gives Seller written notice of Buyer’s approval of one or more New Title Exceptions within five (5) Business Days (but in no event later than the Closing Date) after the date of Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s written notice of the existence of such New Title Exceptions (“New Title Exceptions Approval Notice”). In the event Buyer timely delivers to Seller a New Title Exceptions Approval Notice, those New Title Exceptions approved by Buyer pursuant to the New Title Exceptions Approval Notice shall be deemed to constitute Permitted Title Exceptions and the remaining New Title Exceptions shall continue to constitute Disapproved Title Exceptions. On or before the Cure Deadline, Seller shall either: (i) cause all New Title Exceptions which are not approved by Buyer pursuant to a New Title Exceptions Approval Notice (and which are therefore deemed to constitute Disapproved Title Exceptions) to be cured and deliver written notice to Buyer of such cure; or (ii) deliver written notice to Buyer of Seller’s failure to cure one or more of such Disapproved Title Exceptions. A New Title Exception which is deemed to constitute a Disapproved Title Exception shall be deemed to have been cured if Seller causes such item to be removed from record title to the Real Property prior to the Closing or otherwise cures such New Title Exception as reasonably determined by Buyer.

 


 

     In the event Seller does not timely cure one or more of those New Title Exceptions which are deemed to constitute Disapproved Title Exceptions, then Buyer may elect, at any time on or before the Closing Date, to either: (A) continue this Agreement in effect without modification and purchase and acquire the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, subject to such New Title Exceptions (which will be deemed to constitute “Permitted Title Exceptions”); provided, however, in such a case, the Closing Date shall automatically be extended to the Extended Closing Date; or (B) terminate this Agreement and the Escrow pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.5(a) hereof, unless such New Title Exceptions are the result of a breach by Seller of Section 5.1(e) or Section 5.1(f) hereof, in which case the provisions of Section 8.6(a) hereof shall govern. Upon any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow pursuant to Section 4.1(d)(B) hereof, in addition to Buyer’s rights and remedies under Section 8.5(a) or 8.6(a) hereof, as applicable, Buyer shall be entitled to recover from Seller all of Buyer’s actual out-of-pocket legal fees, costs and expenses, together with all other due diligence fees, costs and expenses, incurred in connection with this Agreement and its review of the Property.
     Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the term “Permitted Title Exceptions” include any Monetary Obligations, and Seller hereby agrees to and shall remove all Monetary Obligations on or before the Closing.

Buyer shall not materially interfere with any Tenant, occupant or invitee of the Real Property in making such inspections or tests, and shall return and restore the Property to substantially its original condition prior to such inspections or tests. Buyer shall not permit any liens or encumbrances to be placed against the Real Property in connection with Buyer’s investigation and inspection of the Real Property and/or in connection with Buyer’s activities on

Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer in connection with its investigation of the Permits and Entitlements, Contracts, Leases, Intangible Property, Personal Property and all other matters pertaining thereto.
     In the event Buyer disapproves or finds unacceptable, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, any matters reviewed by Buyer during the Investigation Period, Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof.

In the event Buyer desires not to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow, on or before 5:00 p.m. PST on the date of expiration of the Investigation Period, Buyer shall deliver written notice to Seller of Buyer’s election not to terminate this Agreement (“Buyer’s Election Not to Terminate”).
     In the event Buyer fails to timely deliver to Seller Buyer’s Election Not to Terminate in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.3, such failure shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s Election to Terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 4.2 hereof.

          (a) Prorations and Adjustments. The following adjustments and prorations shall be made as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (“Proration Date”), as though Buyer held title to the Property throughout the entire day in which the Closing occurs. Such adjustments and prorations shall be made on the basis of: (i) a 365-day year with respect to Taxes as provided in Section 11.2(a)(iii) hereof; and/or (ii) the number of days in the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs with respect to Revenues and Operating Expenses as provided in Sections 11.2(a)(i) and (ii), respectively, hereof, subject to the following provisions:
               (i) Revenues. All rentals, receipts and other revenues (including, but not limited to, reimbursements for Property Expenses, common area maintenance, real and

 


 

personal property taxes, insurance and other operating expense reimbursements, if applicable, but excluding percentage rent, if applicable) (collectively, the “Revenues”), billed to Tenants by Seller as of the Closing, but which are properly allocable to the period after the Proration Date, shall be credited to Buyer at the Closing. To the extent there are any Revenues owing to Seller as of the Closing which relate to periods of time prior to the Proration Date, but which have not actually been collected by Seller as of the Closing (“Delinquent Revenues”), Buyer shall not be obligated to pay to Seller (or give Seller a credit for), the amount of such Delinquent Revenues on the Closing. All Revenues which are received by Seller or Buyer subsequent to the Closing Date shall be applied: first, to amounts due to Buyer; and second, to Delinquent Revenues due to Seller. Seller and Buyer hereby agree to promptly remit to the other the amount of any Revenues received and owing to each other pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.2(a)(i). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 11.2 to the contrary, Seller retains its rights to recover Delinquent Revenues, including, without limitation, the right to collect (provided, however, Seller shall not have the right to file and maintain a lawsuit or other legal proceeding against a delinquent Tenant or evict a delinquent Tenant) the same from delinquent Tenants and/or third parties responsible for payment of such Delinquent Revenues. Buyer, at no cost and expense to Buyer, shall use commercially reasonable efforts (provided such commercially reasonable efforts shall not include an obligation to file and maintain a lawsuit or other legal proceeding against a delinquent Tenant or other third party or to evict a delinquent Tenant) to enforce the provisions of the Leases which require the Tenants to pay to Seller such Delinquent Revenues.
               (ii) Operating Expenses. All costs, fees and expenses (other than management fees and salaries) relating to the operation, management and repair of the Property, excluding Taxes, Leasing Commissions and Tenant Inducement Costs (collectively, the “Operating Expenses”), shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer at the Closing as of the Proration Date.
               (iii) Real and Personal Property Taxes. (A) All general and special real and personal property taxes and assessments (collectively, the “Taxes”), based on the regular tax bill for the current fiscal year (or, if such tax bill has not been issued as of the date of the Closing, the regular tax bill for the fiscal year preceding the current fiscal year) shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer at the Closing as of the Proration Date. Without limiting the foregoing, any and all accrued and unpaid supplemental or special real property taxes or assessments that relate to any time period prior to the Proration Date shall be the responsibility of Seller and, if not paid prior to or at Closing, shall be credited to the Buyer at Closing, and any and all supplemental or special real property taxes or assessments that relate to any time period on or after the Proration Date shall be the responsibility of Buyer and if paid by Seller prior to or at Closing, shall be credited to Seller at Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any supplemental or special real property taxes or assessments are levied prior to Closing, but are due and payable in one or more installments subsequent to the Closing, such supplemental or special real property taxes or assessments shall be allocated on a pro rata basis over the applicable payment period in question and prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Proration Date. Notwithstanding any of the terms and conditions to the contrary contained in this Section 11.2(a)(iii), in the event any such Taxes are paid for directly by the Tenants to the applicable taxing authorities, such Taxes shall not be prorated between Seller or Buyer.

 


 

               (iv) Percentage Rent. Any percentage rent payable under each Lease for the year in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Proration Date. Seller and Buyer acknowledge that sufficient information to enable Seller and Buyer to prorate percentage rent will not be available as of the Closing. Accordingly, the proration contemplated in this Section 11.2(a)(iv) shall be conducted subsequent to the Closing pursuant to Section 11.2(d) hereof.
               (v) Interest and Other Amounts Owing Under the Loan. All interest and other amounts owing under the Loan (excluding principal), shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer at the Closing as of the Proration Date.
               (vi) Loan Defeasance Costs. The Cash Purchase Price shall be credited by an amount equal to the Loan Defeasance Costs, provided, however, in no event shall the credit to the Cash Purchase Price that Buyer is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 11.2(a)(vi) exceed the sum of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00).
               (vii) Reserves. Inasmuch as the Loan will be subject to the Loan Defeasance, in the event there are any reserves under the Loan as of the Closing, Seller shall not assign or transfer any such reserves to Buyer, neither Seller nor Buyer shall receive a credit for any such reserves, Buyer shall not be obligated to reimburse Seller for any such reserves, and Seller shall have the right to secure a refund of such reserves from the Lender in conjunction with or following the Loan Defeasance.
          (b) Property Expense Pass-Throughs. To the extent the Leases require the Tenants to reimburse Seller for Operating Expenses and/or Taxes (collectively, the “Property Expenses”), in the event such Property Expenses are reconciled under the terms of the Leases at the end of the calendar year in which the Closing takes place, to reflect the actual Property Expenses incurred for the calendar year, such calendar year shall be deemed to constitute the “Reconciliation Period” for purposes of this Agreement and the following provisions shall apply:
               (i) On or before the Closing, Seller shall be responsible for computing and comparing on a Tenant-by-Tenant basis and delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth: (A) the amount of Property Expenses incurred and actually paid by Seller with respect to the Reconciliation Period; and (B) the amount of Property Expenses actually received by Seller from the Tenants and/or third parties under the Leases with respect to the Reconciliation Period (“Pre-Closing Property Expense Reconciliation”).
               (ii) Within sixty (60) Calendar Days following the expiration of the Reconciliation Period, Buyer shall compute the actual Property Expenses incurred and paid by Seller and Buyer and the actual Property Expenses reimbursed (or not reimbursed) by the Tenants and/or third parties (whether in the form of estimated payments or otherwise), to Seller and/or Buyer with respect to the Reconciliation Period (“Property Expense Reconciliation”). Following the completion of the Property Expense Reconciliation, Buyer shall submit the same to Seller for Seller’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event Seller fails to approve or disapprove of the Property Expense Reconciliation within ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of the same, such Property Expense Reconciliation shall be deemed approved by Seller. Following the approval (or deemed

 


 

approval) by Seller of the Property Expense Reconciliation, Buyer shall forward the Property Expense Reconciliation to the applicable Tenants. Buyer hereby covenants to use reasonable efforts to enforce the provisions of the Leases which require the Tenants and/or third parties to reimburse the landlord for Property Expenses with respect to the Reconciliation Period. To the extent Seller or Buyer receives any such Property Expense reimbursement payments with respect to the Reconciliation Period, the same shall constitute Revenues and shall be paid to Seller or Buyer in the manner contemplated in Section 11.2(a)(i) hereof.
               (iii) Following the completion of the Property Expense Reconciliation, if the Property Expenses incurred and paid by Seller for that portion of the Reconciliation Period in question preceding the Closing exceed the reimbursed Property Expenses actually received by Seller from the Tenants and/or third parties under the Leases (whether in the form of estimated payments or otherwise), with respect to the Reconciliation Period (“Property Expense Reimbursement Shortfall”), Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such Property Expense Reimbursement Shortfall, to the extent that Buyer shall have collected and received such actual identifiable amounts from the Tenants and/or third parties under the Leases, within ten (10) Business Days following Buyer’s collection and receipt of the same. If the reimbursed Property Expenses received by Seller from the Tenants and/or third parties under the Leases (whether in the form of estimated payments or otherwise), with respect to the Reconciliation Period preceding the Closing exceed the Property Expenses incurred and paid by Seller with respect to the Reconciliation Period (“Property Expense Reimbursement Surplus”), then Seller shall pay an amount equal to such Property Expense Reimbursement Surplus to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of the Property Expense Reconciliation. Upon Seller’s payment to Buyer of any such Property Expense Reimbursement Surplus, Buyer shall be obligated to reimburse or credit the Tenants for such Property Expense Reimbursement Surplus as required under their respective Leases.
               (iv) Seller and Buyer hereby agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with any disputes or claims by Tenants concerning the calculation of Property Expenses during the Reconciliation Period.
          (c) Security Deposits; Leasing Commissions and Tenant Inducement Costs. All unpaid Leasing Commissions, unpaid Tenant Inducements Costs and Security Deposits under the Leases shall be credited to Buyer at the Closing.
          (d) Final Accounting. Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that, on the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer may not have sufficient information to conduct and complete a final proration of all items subject to proration pursuant to this Section 11.2. Accordingly, Seller and Buyer agree that, as soon as is reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall make a final accounting of all items relating to the Property to be prorated between Seller and Buyer pursuant to this Section 11.2. In conjunction with the performance of such final accounting, following a request from Seller, Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of all monthly and other statements sent to the Tenants itemizing amounts owing under the Leases by the Tenants (together with copies of invoices, statements and other supporting documentation evidencing such expenditures and tenant ledgers and related documentation evidencing how Revenues were applied, all as reasonably requested by Seller). In the event it is determined, pursuant to such final accounting, that any amounts are due and owing by Seller to Buyer, then

 


 

Seller shall cause such amounts to be paid to Buyer within ten (10) Calendar Days after such final accounting is completed. In the event it is determined, pursuant to such final accounting, that any amounts are due and owing by Buyer to Seller, then Buyer shall cause such amounts to be paid to Seller within ten (10) Calendar Days after such final accounting is completed. All unpaid amounts shall accrue interest at the lesser of: (i) twelve percent (12%) per annum; or (ii) the maximum rate of interest allowable under applicable law, which interest, in either case, shall be deemed to accrue effective as of the date such payment was originally due.

Seller and Buyer hereby agree to and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other from and against any and all claims, costs, damages and/or liabilities arising from the breach of the foregoing representation by either Seller or Buyer, as the case may be.
ARTICLE 14

Seller hereby agrees to and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, agents, employees, attorneys, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors and assigns, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, agents, employees, attorneys, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors and assigns of all levels (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), from and against any and all claims, liabilities, causes of action, losses, costs, damages, attorneys’ fees, judgments or expenses (“Losses”), arising out of, or relating to, the following matters: (a) the breach by Seller of any of the representations and/or warranties made by Seller in or under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents; (b) the breach or default in the performance by Seller of any of the covenants or obligations to be performed by Seller under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents; (c) any claims, liabilities or obligations of Seller, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, arising out of or relating to, Seller’s previous ownership, management and/or operation of the Building; and (d) any claims, liabilities or obligations of Seller, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, arising out of or relating to the Loan prior to the Closing.
     Section 14.2 Notice and Opportunity to Defend.
          (a) Notice of Asserted Liability. In the event one or more Indemnitees receives written notice or otherwise becomes aware of any claims, liabilities, causes of action or any other circumstances that would give rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Agreement (“Asserted Liability”), such Indemnitees shall give written notice thereof to Seller (“Claims Notice”). Following the receipt of a Claims Notice, and without in any way

 


 

limiting or reducing the obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof, the provisions of Section 14.2(b) or (c), as applicable, shall govern.
          (b) Opportunity to Satisfy. Without in any way limiting or reducing the obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof, in the event Seller receives a Claims Notice from the Indemnitees for an Asserted Liability that is not a Third Party Claim, then, in such a case, Seller shall have a period of ten (10) Calendar Days to endeavor to cure and satisfy, at its sole expense, the matters which caused such Asserted Liability; provided, however, that in the event of an emergency situation, Indemnitees may elect to cure and satisfy the matters which caused such Asserted Liability and shall be entitled to reimbursement for all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the cure and satisfaction of such Asserted Liability pursuant to Section 14.2(d) hereof. In the event the matters are of a type that cannot be cured and satisfied within such ten (10) Calendar Day period, then Seller shall have such additional time as may be reasonably necessary to cure and satisfy such matters so long as Seller is diligently pursuing the cure and satisfaction and also so long as: (i) no Third Party Claim arises out of such Asserted Liability (in which case the provisions of Section 14.2(c) below shall apply); (ii) the Indemnitees have not incurred any unreimbursed Losses relating to such Asserted Liability; and (iii) such matters are cured and satisfied within ninety (90) Calendar Days from the date of the Claims Notice. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the cure and satisfaction of any such Asserted Liability, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be borne by and shall be the responsibility of Seller. Furthermore, and without limiting the obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof, Seller shall reimburse Indemnitees for all Losses incurred by Indemnitees in connection with any such Asserted Liability.
          (c) Opportunity to Defend. Without in any way limiting or reducing the obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof, in the event the Asserted Liability involves a Third Party Claim, Seller shall defend and satisfy such Third Party Claim and all costs, fees and expenses, including legal fees and costs, incurred in connection with the defense and satisfaction of such Third Party Claim, shall be borne by and be sole responsibility of, Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Seller fails to undertake the defense of the Asserted Liability, Indemnitees may elect to defend (by their own counsel), compromise and/or satisfy such Third Party Claim by delivering written notice of such election to Seller. Without in any way limiting or reducing the obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof, if Indemnitees elect to defend (by their own counsel), compromise and/or satisfy such Asserted Liability, Seller shall cooperate in the defense, compromise and satisfaction of such Asserted Liability. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the defense, compromise and satisfaction of any such Asserted Liability, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be borne by and shall be the sole responsibility of Seller. Furthermore, and without limiting the obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof, Seller shall reimburse Indemnitees for all Losses incurred by Indemnitees in connection with any such Third Party Claim.
          (d) Timing for Payment. In the event Indemnitees incur any Losses which were not otherwise paid or satisfied by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, Indemnitees shall deliver written notice to Seller advising Seller that Indemnitees have incurred such Losses (“Notice of Loss”). The Notice of Loss shall include an itemization of all of the Losses which Seller is required to pay pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this

 


 

Agreement. Within thirty (30) Calendar Days after the date of receipt by Seller of the Notice of Loss, Seller shall pay to Indemnitees the aggregate amount of the Losses described in such Notice of Loss. In the event Seller fails to timely pay to Indemnitees the aggregate amount of such Losses, any and all unpaid amounts shall accrue interest at the lesser of: (a) eighteen percent (18%) per annum; or (b) the maximum rate of interest allowable under applicable law, which interest, in either case, shall be deemed to accrue effective as of the date such payment was originally due.

          (b) The following provisions shall be added to the end of Section 2.5 of the Purchase Agreement:
“In determining the number of Units comprising the POP LP Units Consideration, Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that in the event the above-described calculation for the number of POP LP Units comprising the POP LP Units Consideration does not result in a whole number, and instead includes a fraction of a Unit, then, in such a case: (a) the number of POP LP Units shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number; and (b) the Cash Purchase Price shall be automatically increased by an amount equal to the value of the fractional Unit.”
          (c) All references in the Purchase Agreement to 39.5762% shall be deemed to refer to the percentage derived from dividing the POP LP Units Consideration by the Net Purchase Price.
     5. Costs, Expenses and Prorations. The following Section 11.2(e) is hereby added as a new Section to Article 11 of the Purchase Agreement:

          a. Filing of Shelf Registration Statement. Provided that such Holder has not elected, by written notice to the Company delivered prior to such date, not to be named therein, and provided the Holder has provided the Company with such information as the Company shall reasonably request, the Company shall, not later than the Required Filing Date (as defined herein) specified in the Supplement to which a Holder is a party, cause to be filed a Shelf Registration Statement or a Prospectus Supplement providing for the resale by such Holder of the Holder’s Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof. If the Company is

3


 

eligible as a WKSI, the Shelf Registration Statement shall use the automatic shelf registration process under Rule 415 and Rule 462 promulgated under the Securities Act. If the Company is not eligible as a WKSI or is otherwise ineligible to utilize the automatic shelf registration process, then the Company shall utilize Form S-3 (or any similar short-form registration statement), if it is then available, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as expeditiously as possible. The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep a Shelf Registration Statement covering the sale of each Holder’s Registrable Securities continuously effective under the Securities Act until such time as the aggregate market value of all outstanding Registrable Securities (assuming for this purpose that all Units then held by Holders were redeemed or exchanged for Shares) is less than $5 million and, subject to Section 3.a(7), further agrees to supplement or amend each Shelf Registration Statement, if and as required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder for Shelf Registrations.
          b. Alternate Registration Procedures. If the Company does not file a Shelf Registration pursuant to Section a by the applicable Required Filing Date for any Holder Group (such Holders, the “Affected Holders”, and the Registrable Securities, which were to be included in such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement, the “Affected Securities”), thereafter, the Affected Holders holding (or who would hold, after redemption of Units) a majority of the Affected Securities (and which shall have an aggregate market value of greater than $25 million) shall have the right exercisable by written notice to the Company (“Demand Notice”), to cause the Company to use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement and such other documents, including a Prospectus, as may be necessary in the judgment of both counsel for the Company and the one special counsel selected by the Affected Holders participating in the registration so as to permit a public offering and sale of their respective Affected Securities. Company agrees to prepare and file with the SEC, within one hundred twenty (120) days after it receives a Demand Notice from the Affected Holders, a Registration Statement on any available form covering the sale by the Affected Holders of Affected Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and, if eligible as a WKSI, shall use the automatic shelf registration process under Rule 415 and Rule 462 promulgated under the Securities Act, and if not eligible as a WKSI or not otherwise eligible to use the automatic shelf registration process, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable and use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act for a period of ninety (90) days following its effective date (“Effective Period”); provided, however, that if the Company is eligible to effect the registration on Form S-3, the Effective Period shall be one (1) year. The Company may terminate any such Registration Statement (or, if applicable, be relieved of its obligation to file any such Registration Statement) at such time as any new Shelf Registration Statement shall be available for the purposes set forth in Section a.
          c. Registration of Redemption.
  (1)   In lieu of complying with Sections a and b hereof, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to file a Registration Statement registering the issuance of Common Shares to one or more Holders if permitted under the

4


 

      Securities Act. If the Company so elects, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable after filing and to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until such time as the aggregate market value of all Shares for which such registrations have been effected and which remain unissued is less than $5 million and the Company shall supplement or amend each such Registration Statement if and as required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder. If the Company makes an election under this Section c, it shall be relieved of its obligations under Section 3, other than those contained in Sections 3.a(1)(ii), 3.a(4), 3.a(5), 3.a(6), 3.a(7), 3.a(9), 3.a(10), 3.a(12) and 3.b, which continuing obligations shall be deemed modified as appropriate to apply to the issuance of Shares to Holders.
 
  (2)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in order for any Registrable Securities that are issuable upon the exercise of conversion rights, redemption rights, options or warrants to be included in any registration pursuant to Section 2 hereof (including any Units), the exercise of such conversion rights, redemption rights, options or warrants must be effected no later than immediately prior to the closing of any sales under the Registration Statement pursuant to which such Registrable Securities are to be sold such that the Holder is the record holder of the Shares that are the subject to such conversion rights, redemption rights, option or warrants.
     3. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.
          a. Company Obligations. In connection with the Company’s obligations under Section 2 hereof, the Company shall:
  (1)   for each Holder Group, prepare and file with the SEC, within the time period referenced in Section 2 hereof, a Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement, as appropriate, which Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement and related Prospectus (i) shall be available for the sale by such Holders of the Registrable Securities attributable to the New Units or New Shares (as defined in the applicable Supplement) in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof permitted under applicable law and in accordance with the Partnership Agreement as communicated to the Company by such Holders, and (ii) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form required by the SEC to be filed therewith.
 
  (2)   for each Holder Group, (i) promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, post-effective amendments and supplements to the

5


 

      applicable Registration Statement, and any Prospectus contained therein, as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof as communicated to the Company by such Holders, (ii) respond promptly to any comments received from the SEC with respect to the applicable Registration Statement, or any amendment, post-effective amendment or supplement relating thereto, and (iii) otherwise comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof as communicated to the Company by the applicable Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be required to take any of the actions described in clauses (i) and (ii) above with respect to a Holder unless such Holder shall have provided all information and documents reasonably requested by the Company in connection with such actions.
 
  (3)   furnish to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of each applicable Prospectus, including each preliminary Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities; the Company consents to the use of such Prospectus, including such preliminary Prospectus, by each such Holder in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus or the preliminary Prospectus.
 
  (4)   use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify each Holder’s Registrable Securities not later than the First Sale Date specified in the Supplement to which the Holder is a party, under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as such Holder shall reasonably request in writing, keep each such registration or qualification effective during the period the applicable Registration Statement is required to be kept effective or during the period offers or sales are being made by such Holder, whichever is shorter, and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such Holder’s Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required (i) to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction or to register as a broker or dealer in such jurisdiction where it would not be required so to qualify or register but for this Section 3.1(4), (ii) to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) to submit to the general service of process in any such jurisdiction.
 
  (5)   notify each Holder when the applicable Registration Statement has become effective and notify each Holder of Registrable Securities

6


 

      promptly and, if requested by such Holder, confirm such advice in writing (i) when any post-effective amendments and supplements to the applicable Registration Statement become effective, (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) if the Company receives any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Holder’s Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, and (iv) of the happening of any event during the period the applicable Registration Statement is effective as a result of which the applicable Prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
 
  (6)   for each Holder Group, make every commercially reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement at the earliest possible moment.
 
  (7)   cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any Securities Act legend.
 
  (8)   for each Holder, provided that such Holder has provided all information and documents reasonably requested by the Company, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3.1(5)(iv) hereof, use its commercially reasonable efforts promptly to prepare and file a supplement or prepare, file and obtain effectiveness of a post-effective amendment to the applicable Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
 
  (9)   make available for inspection by the Holders of Registrable Securities and any counsel or accountant retained by such Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holders, counsel or accountant in connection with the applicable Registration Statement; provided, however, that such records, documents or information shall not be disclosed by the representatives, counsel or accountants or used for any purpose other than in connection with this Agreement unless (i) the disclosure of such records, documents or information is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or

7


 

      omission in such Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such records, documents or information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) such records, documents or information have been generally made available to the public by the Company.
 
  (10)   use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares to be listed on the principal securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed (provided that the Company shall not be obligated to obtain any listing that it does not then maintain).
 
  (11)   otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering at least 12 months which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.
 
  (12)   use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company to enable the applicable Holders to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.
 
  (13)   use commercially reasonable efforts to take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
          b. Limitation on Company’s Obligations. The Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall be limited as provided in this Section b.
  (1)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any Supplement, in the event that (1) the Company’s costs of compliance with the requirements of this Agreement and any Supplement do, or an event occurs that, as soon as it takes effect, will cause the Company’s costs of compliance with the requirements of this Agreement and any Supplement to, increase substantially for reasons beyond the Company’s control and having nothing to do with (w) the failure of the Company to meet the applicable eligibility requirements under the Securities Act in effect as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement, (x) the cost of legal services or other third-party services necessary to enable the Company to satisfy its obligations under the Agreement, (y) general economic conditions (including, without limitation, inflation), or (z) the general financial condition of the Company, and (2) the circumstance described in clause (1) above occurs

8


 

      or is ongoing at any time on or after the fifth anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the Company shall be relieved of its obligations under Sections 2 and a(1) through a(13) of the Agreement (and any provision of any Supplement concerning any of such sections), subject to the remaining terms of this Section b. If the Company reasonably and in good faith determines that the preceding sentence is applicable, then the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holders that hold Units or Registrable Securities at that time (the “Curtailment Notice”), which notice shall explain, in reasonable detail, the circumstances that are causing, or that will cause, the Company to experience a substantial increase in the cost of compliance. If any of such Holders notify the Company in writing during the 60-day period following the date of the Curtailment Notice (the “Notice Period”) that it wishes to sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall honor such request, even if it requires an undertaking by the Company beyond the expiration of the Notice Period, unless any cost to the Company that is not contemplated by the Agreement (i.e., any cost that is contemplated by clause (1) above) would be incurred in doing so. If the Company’s delivery of the Curtailment Notice is due to the occurrence of an event that, as soon as it takes effect, will cause a substantial increase in the Company’s cost of compliance pursuant to clause (1) above, then if the date of the Curtailment Notice is more than 90 days prior to such an event’s effective date, the Notice Period shall be extended to a date 30 days prior to such an event’s effective date. Except as set forth in the succeeding sentence, the Company shall have no obligations under Sections 2 or a(1) through 3.a(13) of this Agreement following the expiration of the Notice Period to any Holder that has not notified the Company during the Notice Period of its desire to sell its Registrable Securities. In addition, the Company hereby agrees to reasonably cooperate with those Holders that continue to hold Units or Registrable Securities following the expiration of the Notice Period so as to enable those Holders to explore alternative methods by which to effect the objectives of the Agreement for their benefit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section b, the Company shall have no right to terminate any of its obligations under Sections 2 or a(1) through a(13) of the Agreement pursuant to this Section b in the event that any or all of the Holders, prior to the expiration of the Notice Period, enter into an agreement with the Company, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, pursuant to which such Holders shall be obligated to reimburse the Company for the entirety of the increased costs of compliance referenced in clause (1) above.
 
  (2)   The Company may require each Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to the Company in writing such information regarding the proposed distribution by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

9


 

  (3)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any Supplement, the Company shall have no obligation to enter into any underwriting or other agreement or incur any expenses of counsel, accountants or otherwise, in connection with any underwritten offering by any Holder of its Registrable Securities.
     4. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.
     The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the filing of any Registration Statement. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, brokerage or dealer fees, fees and disbursements of counsel, accountants or other representatives of such Holder and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, be it pursuant to any Registration Statement, Rule 144 under the Securities Act or otherwise.
     5. RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC SALE BY HOLDERS OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES.
     Each Holder agrees with the Company that:
  (1)   If the Company determines, after consultation with counsel, that the filing of a Registration Statement under Section 2 hereof or the use of any Prospectus would require the disclosure of important information, which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as nonpublic or the disclosure of which would impede the Company’s ability to consummate a significant transaction, upon written notice of such determination by the Company, the rights of the Holders to offer, sell or distribute any Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or to require the Company to take action with respect to the registration or sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (including any action contemplated by Section 3 hereof) will be suspended until the date upon which the Company notifies the Holders in writing that suspension of such rights for the grounds set forth in this Section 5(1) is no longer necessary; provided, however, that the Company may not suspend such rights for an aggregate period of more than 90 days in any 12-month period.
 
  (2)   In the case of the registration of any underwritten equity offering proposed by the Company, each Holder agrees, if requested in writing by the managing underwriter or underwriters administering such offering, to any “lock up” or similar arrangement requested by such underwriter during the period commencing on a date day prior to the expected effective date of the Registration Statement covering such underwritten primary equity offering or, if such offering shall be a “take-down” from an effective Shelf Registration Statement, a date prior to the expected commencement date of such offering, and ending on a date, in each case specified by such managing underwriter in such written request to such Holder. Nothing in

10


 

      this Section 5(2) shall be read to limit the ability of any Holder to redeem its Units for Shares in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.
 
  (3)   In the event that any Holder uses a Prospectus in connection with the offering and sale of Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus, such Holder will use only the latest version of such Prospectus provided to it by the Company.
 
  (4)   In connection with and as a condition to the Company’s obligations under Sections 2 and 3 hereof, (i) such Holder will not offer or sell its Registrable Securities under the applicable Registration Statement unless it has received copies of the applicable Prospectus or any supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3.a(1) hereof and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective, (ii) upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.a(5)(iv) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder receives copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3.a(8) hereof and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice and (iii) such Holder will only sell its Registrable Securities in accordance with the provisions of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder.
     6. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.
          a. Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify each Holder of Registrable Securities and each of its officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, affiliates, agents, managers and partners (collectively, “Representatives”), and each person controlling such Holder and its Representatives, with respect to which such registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to Section 2, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter of the Registrable Securities held by or issuable to such Holder from and against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereto), joint or several, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened) in respect thereof, and expenses (as incurred or suffered and including, but not limited to, any and all expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any litigation or proceeding, whether commenced or threatened, and the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of legal counsel) in respect thereof (collectively “Damages”) arising out of or based on (1) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (including any preliminary, final or summary prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto), offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, (2) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material

11


 

fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (3) any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act or any state securities law applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Further notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon (x) the Company’s reliance on an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by any such Holder, any such underwriter or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, (y) such Holder’s or underwriter’s failure to deliver a copy of the prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such holder the number of copies of the same reasonably requested by such holder or underwriter, or (z) any violation or alleged violation by such Holder or such underwriter of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act or any state securities law.
          b. Indemnification by each Holder. Each Holder will, severally and not jointly, if Registrable Securities held by or issuable to such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its Representatives, each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a Registration Statement, each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each other such Holder, each of its Representatives and each person controlling such Holder, against damages arising out of or based on (1) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular or other document, (2) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (3) any violation by such Holder of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act, or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such Application, in each case of (1) and (2) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by such Holder specifically for use therein; provided, however, the total amount for which any Holder shall be liable under this Section b shall not in any event exceed the aggregate net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities held by such Holder in such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
          c. Notice of Claims. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section c (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual

12


 

knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense, and provided, further, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein, shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, unless such failure resulted in actual material detriment to the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation or which contains any admission of wrongdoing by such Indemnified Party.
          d. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in any case in which either: (i) any Person makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section d but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section d provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such Person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 6; then, and in each such case, the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are responsible for the portion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party, respectively, in connection with the statements, omissions or violations which resulted in such Damages, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Indemnifying Party on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action taken, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. If, however, the foregoing allocation is not permitted by applicable law, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative faults but also the relative benefits of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section d were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this Section d. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any claim referred to in this Section d shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section c, any legal or other fees, costs or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything in this Section d to the contrary, no Indemnifying Party (other than the Company) shall be required pursuant to this Section d to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Indemnifying Party from the sale of the Registrable Securities sold by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to the

13


 

Registration Statement giving rise to such claims, less all amounts previously paid by such Indemnifying Party with respect to such claims. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
     7. PARTICIPATION IN REGISTRATIONS.
          a. Cooperation. No Holder may participate in any registration hereunder unless such Holder cooperates with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, and for so long as the Company is obligated to file and keep effective the Registration Statement, provides to the Company, in writing, for use in the Registration Statement, all such information regarding such Holder and its plan of distribution of the Registrable Securities as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Company to prepare the Registration Statement and Prospectus covering the Registrable Securities, to maintain the currency of and effectiveness thereof and otherwise to comply with all applicable requirements of law in connection therewith.
          b. Immediate Discontinuance. Each Holder that is participating in any registration hereunder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.a(5)(ii)-(iv) above, such Person will immediately discontinue the disposition of its Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by such Section 3.1(h).
          c. Prompt Notice. Each Holder participating in any registration hereunder agrees to notify the Company promptly, but in any event within forty-eight (48) hours, after the date on which any Registrable Securities owned by such Holder have been sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration, if such date is prior to the termination of the effectiveness of such registration statement.
          d. Regulation M Restrictions. Each Holder agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, unless such sale or distribution complies with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act.
          e. Prospectus Delivery. Each Holder participating in any registration hereunder shall comply, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its representatives and agents to comply, in all material respects with the applicable Prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any sale pursuant to such registration.
     8. MISCELLANEOUS.
          a. Rule 144 Sales. The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, so as to enable any Holder to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In connection with any sale by any Holder of any Registrable Securities pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Company shall cooperate with such

14


 

Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery after such sale of stock certificates not bearing any Securities Act legend.
          b. Amendments and Waivers.

          e. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for the convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
          f. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland without reference to principles of conflicts of law.

          g. Specific Performance. The Company and the Holders acknowledge that there would be no adequate remedy at law if any party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, and accordingly agree that the Company and each Holder, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of another under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction.

          p. Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.
