Except as set forth in Section 2.8 hereof, the Existing Partners shall be entitled to receive all cash in the accounts of the Partnership on the Closing Date.  Existing Partners shall be responsible for all real and personal property taxes payable by Capital I for any period prior to and including the Closing Date.  Capital I and Inland acknowledge that tenants have made estimated payments for such tenants’ proportionate share of taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and other charges (“NNN Charges”) that are reimbursable to the landlord under such tenant leases.  Inland and Manager (as defined in Section 2.11 hereof) shall make a final reconciliation of 2004 NNN Charges on or before April 30, 2005.  The Existing Partners shall be entitled to any amounts collected from tenants in 2005 and attributable to periods on or before the Closing Date, and shall be liable for any amounts due to tenants and attributable to periods on or before the Closing Date.  Inland shall be entitled to any amounts collected from tenants in 2005 and attributable to periods after the Closing Date, and shall be liable for any amounts due to tenants and attributable to periods after the Closing Date.  All accrued charges pursuant to Contracts and utility charges (whether or not service is continued by Inland) for periods prior to and including the Closing Date shall be determined as of the Closing Date and paid by the Existing Partners (“Accrued Expenses”).  Any of such Accrued Expenses for periods prior to and including the Closing Date which have not been paid and are not reflected on the closing statement prepared by Capital I and Inland as of the Closing Date shall be paid by Capital I prior to delinquency (subject to Capital I’s right to contest same).  Inland shall make a good-faith attempt to collect delinquent rents for Capital I’s benefit after the Closing and after first applying any such rental payments so received to rents and late charges and the costs of collection thereof in each case accruing after the Closing Date, the remainder of such collections, if any, shall be remitted to Capital I promptly upon receipt by Inland or Capital I after Closing (up to the amount of such delinquent rents); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to require Inland to institute any suit or collection procedure to collect such delinquent rents.  Inland need not attempt to collect rents that are more than ninety days delinquent and the foregoing obligation of Inland to remit any amounts in respect thereof to Capital I shall also terminate ninety days after the Closing Date, except as to recovery of 2004 NNN Charges, which shall terminate on December 31, 2005.  To the extent that the actual amount of all such charges, expenses and income referred to in this section are unavailable on the Closing Date, the foregoing prorations shall be based on estimates using the most recently available statement for each such item to be prorated (provided that, if the actual amount of real and personal property ad valorem taxes and special assessments for the present tax year are not available, the proration shall be based upon the taxes for the previous tax year) and, if after the Closing Date the actual amount of any such closing proration that was based on an estimate is determined to be more or less than the amount adjusted for at Closing, the parties shall promptly (but no later than the date which is the first anniversary of the Closing Date) adjust such proration.

 

2.8           Security Deposits.  All security deposits and any prepayment of rental or other sums attributable to any period beyond the Closing Date, collected (and, except to the extent

2.10         Mortgage Liens.  At Closing, the Existing Partners shall cause Capital I to cause the Mortgage Liens to be released at or prior to Closing, with Capital I having the right to apply the Contributed Capital or a portion thereof for such purpose.

ARTICLE VI

TITLE AND SURVEY

 

6.1           Delivery of Title Commitment and Survey.  Within five (5) days of the Effective Date, Capital I shall deliver to Inland the following items, to the extent not already delivered to Inland pursuant to the Real Property Agreement:

 

(a)          Title Commitment.  The Title Commitment (as hereinafter defined), together with legible copies of any and all title exception documents referenced therein.  The “Title Commitment” shall mean a commitment or commitments for one or more TLTA Owner’s Title Insurance Policy (Form B) for the Capital I Real Property issued by the Chicago Title Insurance Company in the full amount of the Property Value, covering title to the Capital I Real Property on or after the date hereof, showing the Partnership as owner of the Capital I Real Property in fee simple, and providing for full extended coverage over all general title exceptions contained in such policies and containing the following special endorsements to the extent available (collectively, the “Special Title Endorsements”), owner’s comprehensive, access, survey (legal description equivalency), contiguity (if applicable), encroachment (if applicable), non-imputation, and deletion of the arbitration provision and creditors’ rights provision.  The Owner’s Policy described herein together with the Special Endorsements is referred to herein as the Title Policy.

 

(b)          Survey.  An ALTA ACSM Title Survey of the Capital I Real Property prepared in accordance with the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys jointly established by the American Land Title Association and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping in 1999, that meets the accuracy requirements of an Urban Survey, as defined therein, and includes items 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 (a, b and c), 8-11 and 13-16 of Table A thereof (the “Survey”).

 

6.2           Title and Survey Objections.

 

(a)          In the event (i) the Survey shows any easement, right-of-way, encroachment, conflict, protrusion or other matter affecting the Capital I Real Property that is unacceptable to Inland, or (ii) any exceptions appear in the Title Commitment that are unacceptable to Inland, Inland shall notify Capital I in writing of such facts (“Inland’s Title Objections”) not later than 5:00 p.m.  Central Time upon the date which is the later of October 29, 2004 or five (5) business days after the date Inland has received delivery of both the Survey and Title Commitment (the “Title Approval Period”) but in no event later than the expiration of the Inspection Period.  Upon the expiration of the Title Approval Period, except for Inland’s Title Objections, Monetary Liens (as hereafter defined), and any other matters arising subsequent to the date of the Survey and Title Commitment, Inland shall be deemed to have accepted the Survey, the Title Commitment and all matters shown or addressed therein, including, without limitation, any easement, right of way, encroachment, conflict, discrepancy, overlapping of improvements, protrusion, lien, encumbrance, restriction, condition, covenant, exception or other matter with respect thereto (collectively, the “Approved Title Matters”).

 

27



 

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except for any Monetary Liens and any matters created by Capital I after the date of the Title Commitment, Capital I shall have no obligation to take any steps or bring any action or proceeding or otherwise to incur any effort or expense whatsoever to eliminate or modify any of Inland’s Title Objections; provided, however, Capital I, at its sole option, may attempt to eliminate or modify all or a portion of Inland’s Title Objections to Inland’s reasonable satisfaction prior to the Closing Date.  In the event Capital I is unable or unwilling to attempt to eliminate or modify all of Inland’s Title Objections to the reasonable satisfaction of Inland, Capital I shall provide written notice thereof to Inland within five (5) business days of its receipt of Inland’s Title Objections (“Capital I’s Notice”). Inland may thereafter elect to close notwithstanding Inland’s Title Objections (in which case Capital I shall have no liability to eliminate or modify, and Inland shall take the Capital I Property subject to Inland’s Title Objections) or Inland may (as its sole and exclusive remedy) terminate this Agreement by delivering notice thereof in writing to Capital I, in which event neither party shall have any obligation hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations and Inland shall be entitled to return all of the Earnest Money, including any portion thereof that may have been designated as the Breakup Fee.  Capital I shall cause all mortgages, deeds of trust and monetary liens (including liens for delinquent taxes, mechanics’ liens and judgment liens) affecting the Capital I Property and all indebtedness secured thereby (the “Monetary Liens”) to be satisfied, released and discharged of record on or prior to the Closing Date.

7.3                                 Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each of Capital I and Inland will pay its own costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

7.4                                 Public Announcement.  Neither party hereto shall make any public announcement or disclosure of any information related to this Agreement to outside brokers or third parties, before or after the Closing, without the prior written specific consent of the other party; however, either party may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement if required by Law or court order, and to its attorneys, accountants, employees and existing or prospective financial partners provided same are advised by such party of the confidential nature of such terms and conditions and agree to maintain the confidentiality thereof (in each case, prior to disclosure).  The consent by either party to any disclosures shall not be deemed to be a waiver on the part of such party of

 

29



 

any prohibition against any future disclosure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Inland may make any and all SEC filings deemed appropriate by Inland.

 

7.5                                 Further Assurance.  Capital I and Inland agree that, from time to time after the Closing, upon the reasonable request of the other, they will cooperate and will cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate with each other to effect the orderly transition of the business, operations, and affairs of Capital I.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) Capital I will provide, and will cause its respective Affiliates to provide, representatives of Inland reasonable access to all books and records of Capital I and their Affiliates reasonably requested by Inland in the preparation of any post-Closing financial statements, reports, Tax Returns, or Tax filings of Capital I; (b) Inland will provide, representatives of the Existing Partners reasonable access to all pre-Closing books and records of Capital I reasonably requested by Capital I in the preparation of any post-Closing financial statements, reports, Tax Returns, or Tax filings of Capital I; and (c) each party hereto will execute such documents and instruments as the other party hereto may reasonably request containing terms and conditions mutually satisfactory to each party hereto to further effectuate the terms hereof.

7.7                                 Amendment.  This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a writing duly executed by or on behalf of Capital I and Inland.

 

7.8                                 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which will constitute one and the same instrument.

 

7.9                                 No Third Party Beneficiary.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, the terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of Capital I, the Existing Partners, Inland, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.

 

7.10                           Governing Law.  This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Texas (without regard to the principles of conflicts of Law) applicable to a Contract executed and performable in such state.

30



 

Affiliate of The Inland Real Estate Group, Inc., or any Affiliate of Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc.; provided, however, that Inland shall remain liable for all obligations of Inland under this Agreement.  Inland may assign this Agreement and its rights hereunder to any affiliate,

 

7.13                           Provisions.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations under this Agreement of Capital I, the Existing Partners and Inland will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable; (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom; and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a legal, valid, and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may then be legal, valid and enforceable under applicable Law.

 

7.14                           Confidentiality.  Affiliates of Capital I and Inland have entered into the Confidentiality Agreement dated September 22, 2004, attached hereto and incorporated herein, and such Confidentiality Agreements shall be binding upon the parties herein.

 

7.15                           Condemnation.  If, prior to the Closing, action is initiated to take any of the Capital I Property by eminent domain proceedings or by deed in lieu thereof, Inland may either at or prior to Closing (a) terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of all of the Earnest Money, including any amount designated as a Breakup Fee, or (b) consummate the Closing, in which latter event all of Capital I’s assignable right, title and interest in and to the award of the condemning authority shall be assigned to Inland at the Closing and there shall be no reduction in the Contributed Capital.

 

7.16                           Casualty.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Capital I assume all risks and liability for damage to or injury occurring to the Capital I Property by fire, storm, accident, or any other casualty or cause until the Closing has been consummated.  If the Capital I Property, or any part thereof, suffers any damage in excess of $2,000,000.00 or in any amount that would allow any of the Major Tenants to abate rent or terminate their lease prior to the Closing from fire or other casualty which Capital I, at their sole option, does not elect to repair, Inland may either at or prior to Closing (a) terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Earnest Money, or (b) consummate the Closing, in which latter event all of Capital I’s right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage to the extent the amount of such insurance does not exceed the Contributed Capital, shall be assigned to Inland at the Closing and Inland shall receive a credit for the deductible.  If the Capital I Property, or any part thereof, suffers any damage equal to or less than $2,000,000.00 prior to the Closing, Inland agrees that it will consummate the Closing and accept the assignment of the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage plus an amount equal to Capital I’s deductible under its insurance policy and there shall be no reduction in the Contributed Capital.

 

7.17                           Maintenance and Contracts.  From the Effective Date of this Agreement until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement:

 

31



 

(a)                                   Capital I shall cause the Subsidiary of Capital I to operate and maintain the Capital I Property in the ordinary course of business consistent with the manner in which it has heretofore been operated and maintained.  Capital I shall maintain property and casualty insurance on the Capital I Property in the same amounts and for the same coverage as it has heretofore maintained for the Capital I Property.

 

(b)                                  Capital I will cause the Subsidiary of Capital I to perform all of Capital I’s respective material obligations under the Contracts.  Capital I will not, without the prior written consent of Inland (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), modify, enter into, or renew any Contract.

 

7.18                           Leasing.  From the Effective Date of this Agreement through the expiration of the Inspection Period, Capital I will cause the Subsidiary of Capital I to not, without the prior written consent of Inland (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), modify, enter into, or renew any Leases.  Inland’s failure to respond in writing within four (4) business days of Capital I’s request for consent shall be deemed an approval of Capital I’s request, provided that at the time of any request for approval, if there remain less than four (4) business days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, the Inspection Period shall be extended to give Inland at least four (4) business days to respond.  Subsequent to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Capital I shall not modify, enter into, or renew any leases except upon the express written consent of Inland which may be granted or withheld in Inland’s sole and absolute discretion.
