Prior to the Effective Date, Purchaser has caused to be prepared and delivered to Seller: (a) a current commitment for title insurance or preliminary title report (the "Title Commitment") issued by the Title Company, in the amount of the Purchase Price and on a ALTA 1992 Standard Form commitment, with Purchaser as the proposed insured, and (b) copies of all documents of record referred to in the Title Commitment as exceptions to title to the Property.
Section 5.2 New or Updated Survey. Purchaser may elect to obtain a new survey or revise, modify, or re-certify an existing survey ("Survey") as necessary in order for the Title Company to delete the survey exception from the Title Policy or to otherwise satisfy Purchaser's objectives.
Section 5.3 Title Review. During the Title and Survey Review Period, Purchaser shall review title to the Property as disclosed by the Title Commitment and the Survey. Purchaser shall have the right, up until expiration of the Title and Survey Review Period, to object in writing (“Purchaser’s Exception Notice”) to any title matters which are disclosed in the Title Commitment or Survey (herein collectively called “Liens”). Unless Purchaser shall timely object to the Liens, such Liens shall be deemed to constitute “Permitted Exceptions”. Any exceptions which are timely objected to by Purchaser shall be herein collectively called the “Title Objections.” If, on or before two (2) business days before the end of the Inspection Period, Seller fails to cause or covenant to Purchaser in writing to remove or endorse over any Title Objections prior to the Closing in a manner satisfactory to Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion (Seller having no obligation to agree to cure or correct any such Title Objections), Purchaser may elect, prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period to either (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, in which event the Earnest Money (if previously deposited by Purchaser) shall be returned to Purchaser and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive such Title Objections, in which event such Title Objections shall be deemed additional “Permitted Exceptions” and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price. Purchaser shall have the right to amend Purchaser’s Exception Notice (“Purchaser’s Amended Exception Notice”) to object to any title matters that are not Permitted Exceptions which are first disclosed in any supplemental reports or updates to the Title Commitment or Survey delivered to Purchaser after the end of the Inspection Period provided that Purchaser objects to the same within five (5) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the applicable supplemental reports or
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT – PAGE 10 |
updates to the Title Commitment or Survey but in no event after Closing. If Seller fails to take the action requested by Purchaser in Purchaser’s Amended Exception Notice, Purchaser may elect prior to Closing to proceed under either clause (a) or (b) of the sentence which precedes the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lien which is a financial encumbrance created by or through Seller such as a mortgage, deed of trust, or other debt security, attachment, judgment, lien for delinquent real estate taxes and delinquent assessments, mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien, which is outstanding against the Property, or any part thereof, that is revealed or disclosed by the Title Commitment or by any updates thereto or by any UCC, tax lien and judgment searches with respect to Seller (herein such financial encumbrances are referred to as “Financial Encumbrances”) shall in no event be deemed a Permitted Exception, and Seller hereby covenants to remove all Financial Encumbrances on or before the Closing Date. Seller further agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are voluntarily created by, under or through Seller after the Effective Date without Purchaser's consent (if requested, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The term "Permitted Exceptions" shall mean: the specific exceptions (excluding exceptions that are part of the promulgated title insurance form) in the Title Commitment and/or Survey (or if Purchaser does not obtain a Survey, all matters that a current, accurate survey of the Property would show) to which Purchaser has not timely objected as of the end of the Title and Survey Review Period and which Seller is not required to remove as provided above; matters created by, through or under Purchaser; real estate taxes not yet due and payable; rights of tenants under the Leases; and any licensees under any Service Contracts not terminated as of Closing.
Section 5.4 Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. In the event that the Title Company does not issue at Closing, or unconditionally commit at Closing to issue, to Purchaser, an extended coverage ALTA owner's form title policy (2006) in accordance with the Title Commitment, insuring Purchaser's title to the Property in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the standard exceptions and exclusions from coverage contained in such policy and the Permitted Exceptions (the "Title Policy"), Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Earnest Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement.

6.1.4 Leasing; Contracts. Seller will not amend or terminate any existing Lease or contract or enter into any new Lease or new contract that will affect the Property subsequent to the Closing without providing Purchaser (a) all relevant supporting documentation, as reasonably determined by Seller and Purchaser, including, without limitation, tenant, licensee or other third party financial information to the extent in Seller's possession, and (b) as to any such amendment or termination of a Lease or contract or new Lease or new contract that will affect the Property subsequent to the Closing and, in each case, which is to be executed after the expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller's request for Purchaser's approval. If Purchaser's consent is requested by Seller as to any amendment or termination of a Lease or contract that will be affect the Property subsequent to the Closing, or as to a new Lease or new contract that will be affect the Property subsequent to the Closing, Purchaser agrees to give Seller written notice of approval or disapproval of a proposed amendment or termination of a Lease or contract or new Lease or new contract that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the Closing within four (4) business days after Purchaser's receipt of the items in Section 00 and Section 00. If Purchaser does not respond to Seller's request within such time period, then Purchaser will be deemed to have approved such amendment, termination or new Lease or new contract. Purchaser's approval rights and obligations will vary depending on whether the request for approval from Seller is delivered to Purchaser before or after the expiration of the Inspection Period, as follows:
(1) With respect to a request for approval delivered by Seller to Purchaser before the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser's consent shall not be required. Moreover, whether or not Purchaser consents to an amendment or termination of a Lease or contract or the entering into of a new Lease or new contract, Seller may amend or terminate a Lease or contract or enter into a new Lease or contract at any time prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period; however, if Purchaser does not consent to same or is not deemed to have approved same, and if Seller elects to amend or terminate a Lease or contract or enter into a new Lease or contract that will affect the Property subsequent to the Closing notwithstanding Purchaser's failure to approve same, then Purchaser may, at the time Seller notifies Purchaser of the execution of said amendment, termination or new Lease or contract that will affect the Property subsequent to the Closing, elect to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Earnest Money; provided that if Purchaser does not elect to terminate within five days after said notification from Seller, then Purchaser shall have waived its right to terminate pursuant to this Section 0.
(2) With respect to a request for approval delivered by Seller to Purchaser after the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser may withhold its consent at its reasonable discretion, and Seller may not amend or terminate a Lease or contract or enter into a new Lease or new contract that will affect the Property subsequent to the Closing without Purchaser's written consent.

Section 6.2 Damage. If prior to Closing the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller shall estimate the cost to repair and the time required to complete repairs and will provide Purchaser written notice of Seller's estimation (the "Casualty Notice") as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of the casualty.
6.2.1 Material. In the event of any Material Damage to or destruction of the Property or any portion thereof prior to Closing, either Seller or Purchaser may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other on or before the expiration of 30 days after the date Seller delivers the Casualty Notice to Purchaser (and if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended to give the parties the full thirty-day period to make such election and to obtain insurance settlement agreements with Seller's insurers). Upon any such termination, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement. If neither Seller nor Purchaser so terminates this Agreement within said 30-day period, then the parties shall proceed under this Agreement and close on schedule (subject to extension of Closing as provided above), and as of Closing Seller shall assign to Purchaser, without representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of Seller's rights in and to any resulting insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction and Purchaser shall assume full responsibility for all needed repairs, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under such insurance policies (but the amount of the deductible plus insurance proceeds shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the cost of repair or (b) the Purchase Price and a pro rata share of the rental or business loss proceeds, if any). For the purposes of this Agreement, "Material Damage" and "Materially Damaged" means damage which, (a) in Seller's reasonable estimation, exceeds $200,000.00 to repair or (b) in Seller’s reasonable estimation will take longer than 120 days to repair.
6.2.2 Not Material. If the Property is not Materially Damaged, then neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, and Seller shall, at its option, either (a) repair the damage before the Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (and if necessary, Seller may extend the Closing Date up to 30 days to complete such repairs), or (b) credit Purchaser at Closing for the reasonable cost to complete the repair (in which case Seller shall retain all insurance proceeds and Purchaser shall assume full responsibility for all needed repairs).
Section 6.3 Condemnation. If proceedings in eminent domain are instituted with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by written notice to Seller given within ten days after Seller notifies Purchaser of such proceedings (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to give Purchaser the full ten-day period to make such election), either: (a) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Earnest Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) proceed under this Agreement, in which event Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Purchaser its entire right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Purchaser shall have the sole right after the Closing to negotiate and otherwise deal with the condemning authority in respect of such matter. If Purchaser does not give Seller written notice of its election within the time required above, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (b) above.

With respect to Unbilled Tenant Receivables, Purchaser covenants and agrees to (i) bill the same when billable and (ii) cooperate with Seller to determine the correct amount of operating expenses and/or taxes due. The provisions of this Section 00 shall survive the Closing.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the requirements of Section 00(B) above, if the final reconciliation or determination of operating expenses and/or taxes due under the Leases shows that a net amount is owed by Seller to Purchaser, said amount shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser within ten (10) business days of such final determination under the Leases.

Section 8.5 Tenant Deposits.

If the LOC cannot be unilaterally transferred by the beneficiary, then Seller shall have no obligation except to deliver said original LOC into escrow at Closing and Purchaser shall then be responsible for working directly with the tenant and/or financial institution after Closing to obtain a new LOC with Purchaser as the beneficiary at Purchaser’s cost. In such an event, if a default by the tenant should occur after the Closing that would give rise to the Landlord having the right to cash the existing LOC before a replacement LOC is obtained, and the proceeds of said LOC are assignable pursuant to its terms, then Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in drawing upon said existing LOC so long as Purchaser (a) delivers the existing LOC back to Seller and (b) indemnifies Seller for any claims, liabilities, fees or expenses in connection with such action(s). As of the Closing, Purchaser shall assume Seller's obligations related to tenant, licensee and occupant security deposits, but only to the extent they are credited or transferred to Purchaser.

Section 9.3 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties set forth in this Article 9 are made as of the Effective Date and, except as provided in Section 0, are remade as of the Closing Date and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing, but shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months (the "Survival Period"). Terms such as "to Seller's knowledge," "to the best of Seller's knowledge" or like phrases mean the actual present and conscious awareness or knowledge of Chris McNeer ("Seller's Representative"), without any duty of inquiry or investigation; provided that so qualifying Seller's knowledge shall in no event give rise to any personal liability on the part of Seller's Representatives, or any of them, or any other officer or employee of Seller, on account of any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller herein. Said terms do not include constructive knowledge, imputed knowledge, or knowledge Seller or such persons do not have but could have obtained through further investigation or inquiry. No broker, agent, or party other than Seller is authorized to make any representation or warranty for or on behalf of Seller. Each party shall have the right to bring an action against the other on the breach of a representation or warranty hereunder, but only on the following conditions: (a) the party bringing the action for breach first learns of the breach after Closing and files such action within the Survival Period, and (b) neither party shall have the right to bring a cause of action for a breach of a representation or warranty unless the damage to such party on account of such breach (individually or when combined with damages from other breaches) equals or exceeds $25,000. Neither party shall have any liability after Closing for the breach of a representation or warranty hereunder of which the other party hereto had knowledge as of Closing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any agreement contemplated by this Agreement, or any rights which Purchaser might otherwise have at law, equity, or by statute, whether based on contract or some other claim, Purchaser agrees that any liability of Seller to Purchaser will be limited to FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($400,000.00) (the “Seller Liability Cap”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the following shall not be counted toward or subject to the Seller Liability Cap: (a) Seller's liabilities or obligations under Article 8 or Sections 1.2, 10.3, or 10.4 of this Agreement or (b) Seller liability for claims brought under applicable law based on fraud. The provisions of this 0 shall survive the Closing. Any breach of a representation or warranty that occurs prior to Closing shall be governed by Article 10.
ARTICLE 10
Default and Remedies
Section 10.1 Seller's Remedies. If the parties fail to consummate the purchase of the Property due to a Purchaser default, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Agreement and retain the Earnest Money as liquidated damages and not as penalty, in full satisfaction of claims against Purchaser hereunder. Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller's damages resulting from Purchaser's default are difficult, if not impossible, to determine and the Earnest Money is a fair estimate of those damages which has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of such damages to be certain. Notwithstanding anything in this 0, in the event of Purchaser's default or a termination of this Agreement, Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event Purchaser or any party related to or affiliated with Purchaser is asserting any claims or right to the Property that would otherwise delay or prevent Seller from having clear, indefeasible and marketable title to the Property. Nothing contained in this 0 shall serve to otherwise limit Seller’s legal or equitable rights and remedies against Purchaser arising out of Purchaser’s obligations under Section 3.4, 0, 0, 0 and 0 hereof. If the Closing is consummated, Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event Purchaser fails to perform any obligation of Purchaser under this Agreement.
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT – PAGE 23 |
Section 10.2 Purchaser's Remedies. If Seller fails to consummate the sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise defaults on its obligations hereunder at or prior to Closing for any reason except failure by Purchaser to perform hereunder, or if prior to Closing any one or more of Seller's representations or warranties are breached in any material respect, and such default or breach is not cured by the earlier of the third (3rd) business day after written notice thereof from Purchaser or the Closing Date (Purchaser hereby agreeing to give such written notice to Seller within one business day after Purchaser first learns of any such default or breach by Seller, except no notice or cure period shall apply if Seller fails to consummate the sale of the Property hereunder), Purchaser shall elect, as its sole remedy, either to (a) terminate this Agreement by giving Seller timely written notice of such election prior to or at Closing and recover the Earnest Money, (b) enforce specific performance to consummate the sale of the Property hereunder, or (c) waive said failure or breach and proceed to Closing without any reduction in the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Closing fails to occur as a result of a Seller default, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser if Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller written notice of its intent to file a claim or assert a cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before fifteen (15) business days following the scheduled Closing Date or, having given such notice, fails to file a lawsuit asserting such claim or cause of action in the county in which the Property is located within three (3) months following the scheduled Closing Date. Purchaser's remedies with respect to Seller defaults shall be limited to those described in this 0 and 0 and 0 hereof; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 10.2 shall serve to otherwise limit Purchaser’s legal or equitable rights and remedies against Seller arising out of Seller’s obligations under 0, 0 or 0 hereof. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER'S DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS, OWNERS OR AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF THE FOREGOING, OR ANY AFFILIATE OR CONTROLLING PERSON THEREOF HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, COMMON LAW, STATUTE, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.
Section 10.3 Attorneys' Fees. In the event either party hereto employs an attorney in connection with claims by one party against the other arising from the operation of this Agreement, the non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party all reasonable fees and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with such claims.
Section 10.4 Other Expenses. If this Agreement is terminated due to the default of a party, then the defaulting party shall pay any fees or charges due to Escrow Agent for holding the Earnest Money as well as any escrow cancellation fees or charges and any fees or charges due to the Title Company for preparation and/or cancellation of the Title Commitment.
Section 10.5 Net Worth Covenant. Until the expiration of the Survival Period (or such longer period as may be applicable pursuant to the immediately following sentence), Seller covenants that it shall maintain a tangible net worth in an amount not less than Seller’s Liability Cap. The covenant of Seller set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall survive Closing until the expiration of the Survival Period, except to the extent that a claim against Seller is filed by Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, in which case such covenant shall survive until such claim is resolved.
