ARTICLE III

INSPECTION OF PROPERTY; PROPERTY DOCUMENTATION

3.1 During the “Inspection Period” (which Inspection Period is defined to be the thirty (30) day period from and after the Effective Date), Purchaser shall have the right to enter the Property to undertake, at its sole cost and expense, site, engineering, appraisal, environmental and such other inspection, analyses and studies of the Property, and Purchaser shall have the right to review the Walgreen Lease, operating expenses, and other documents relating to the Property and to take such other actions as Purchaser deems necessary to satisfy itself that it wishes to proceed with the purchase of the Property upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. During the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall have the right to employ one or more environmental consultants or other professional(s) to perform a so-called “Phase I” environmental assessment (the “Assessment”) of the Property, and Seller acknowledges and consents to the Assessment. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and its environmental consultants (but without third party expense to Seller). Purchaser shall not have the right to perform a Phase II or any other invasive testing without Seller’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If requested by Seller, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller copies of all data and reports prepared by or on behalf of Purchaser during the Inspection Period.

3.2 In connection with Purchaser’s exercise of its rights under this Agreement, Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that it shall cause all studies, investigations and inspections (including, but not limited to, the Assessment), performed at the Property pursuant to this Article III to be performed in a manner that does not unreasonably disturb or disrupt the tenancy or business operations of the Tenant. For the avoidance of doubt, all access onto the Property shall be coordinated with Seller in order to comply with the requirements of the Walgreen Lease. Further, Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to repair any damage that occurs to the Property due to Purchaser’s actions, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, and to return the Property to the same condition as existed immediately prior to Purchaser’s inspection or actions. During the Inspection Period, Purchaser’s engineers, architects, employees, contractors and agents shall maintain public liability insurance policies with its current insurer and in a commercially reasonable amount insuring against personal injury and property damage claims arising as a result of their activities at the Property during the Inspection Period. Purchaser hereby indemnifies, protects, defends and holds Seller, its agents, representatives and environmental consultants (“Seller Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, causes of action, judgments, damages, costs and expenses that Seller Indemnitees suffer or incur as a result of any damage caused at, to, in, or at the Property as a result of any of the following: (i) any injury to persons or property damage caused by or resulting from the inspections or the Assessment conducted by Purchaser, its agents, representatives or environmental consultants during the Inspection Period; or (ii) construction liens filed or asserted in connection with the such inspections or the Assessment conducted by Purchaser, its agents, representatives or environmental consultants. Purchaser’s undertakings pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

3.3 If Purchaser determines that the results of any inspection, test, examination or review do not meet Purchaser’s criteria, in its sole discretion, for the purpose of financing or operation of the Property in the manner contemplated by Purchaser in its sole discretion (without explanation), then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement, by written notice to Seller (the “Termination Notice”), with a

 

3


copy to Escrow Agent, given not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the last day of the Inspection Period (the “Approval Date”), which notice may be given via email. If Purchaser fails to timely deliver a Termination Notice to Seller prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Approval Date, Purchaser shall be automatically deemed to have forever waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Article III. Upon the timely and proper termination of this Agreement by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Deposit, together with all interest thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further liability to the other hereunder, except as provided in Sections 3.2, 11.3 and Article X of this Agreement. If, as of the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser accepts the Property in its condition or is deemed to have accepted the Property in its condition, then the Deposit shall be deemed nonrefundable (except for a Seller default as set forth in Article VII of this Agreement or a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX hereof) to Purchaser as of that date and this transaction shall proceed to Closing in accordance with its terms.

3.4 Each party agrees to maintain in confidence, the information contained in this Agreement or pertaining to the sale contemplated hereby and the information and data furnished or made available by Seller to Purchaser, its agents and representatives in connection with Purchaser’s investigation of the Property and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement; provided, however, that each party, its agents and representatives may disclose such information and data (a) to such party’s accountants, lenders, attorneys, underwriters, ratings agencies, partners, investors, consultants and other advisors in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Representatives”) to the extent that the Representatives reasonably need to know such information and data in order to assist, and perform services on behalf of, Seller or Purchaser; (b) to the extent required by any applicable statute, law or regulation (including public filings pursuant to reporting obligations under securities laws) or requested by a governmental or regulatory authority; and (c) in connection with any litigation that may arise between the parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

3.5 Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, no later than five (5) business days after the Effective Date, the following documents (collectively, “Seller’s Deliveries”), to the extent the same are in Seller’s possession and control: (a) copies of all environmental condition reports relating to the Property; (b) copies of any existing surveys relating to the Property; (c) copies of Seller’s most recent owner’s title policy issued in connection with the Property; (d) the Walgreen Lease; and (e) the Budget (as defined in the Declaration) prepared pursuant to the Declaration for calendar year 2017.

ARTICLE IV

TITLE AND SURVEY

4.1 At the Closing, Seller agrees to deliver to Purchaser a covenant deed (the “Deed”), in recordable form, conveying the Property to Purchaser, and subject to the following items (the “Permitted Exceptions”): (1) taxes not yet due and payable; (2) those matters that may be specifically approved, in writing, by Purchaser or deemed accepted by Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.3 below; (3) the rights of the Tenant under the Walgreen Lease; (4) the Declaration of Easements, Covenants and Restrictions recorded as Document No. 20091221-0111922 with the Office of the Kent County Register of Deeds, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Declaration of Easements, Covenants and Restrictions recorded as Document No. 20160603-0045816 with the Office of the Kent County Register of Deeds (collectively, the “Declaration”); and (5) matters arising out of any act of Purchaser or its agents, employees or representatives.

4.2 As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, Seller shall, at the sole cost and expense of Seller, deliver to Purchaser, the following:

(a) A commitment (the “Title Commitment”) issued by Escrow Agent (hereinafter, the “Title Company”), dated after the Effective Date, for an owner’s title insurance policy (the “Title Policy”), in the full amount of the Purchase Price, showing fee simple title to the Property in Seller, together with copies of all recorded documents evidencing title exceptions raised in “Schedule B” of such title commitment. Seller shall use commercially reasonably efforts to deliver such commitment within ten (10) days following the Effective Date.

(b) Pursuant to Section 3.5 of this Agreement, Seller will deliver to Purchaser the survey for the Property prepared by Driesenga & Associates, Inc., dated November 30, 2015 (the “Existing Survey”).

4.3 The Title Commitment and Existing Survey delivered by Seller are collectively referred to as “Title Evidence.” If the Title Evidence discloses any matters to which Purchaser, in its reasonable discretion, shall object (the “Defects”), Purchaser shall notify Seller thereof (the “Defect Notice”), in writing, within five (5) business days following the receipt by Purchaser of the Title Evidence and thereafter Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure and remove, or obtain title insurance for, such Defects prior to the Closing. Within five (5) business days after Seller’s receipt of the Defect Notice, Seller shall notify Purchaser (“Seller’s Response Notice”) as to those Defect(s), if any, that Seller shall attempt to cure or obtain title insurance for prior to the Closing, if any, provided that the form and substance of such title insurance over a Defect shall be reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. If Seller fails to deliver such Seller’s Response Notice to Purchaser within five (5) business days, Seller shall be deemed to have notified Purchaser that Seller shall not attempt to cure or obtain title insurance for any Defect(s) raised in the Defect Notice. If Seller notifies Purchaser (or is deemed to notify Purchaser) that it will not attempt to cure or obtain title insurance for any or all Defect(s), then Purchaser may: (1) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given within five (5) days after Purchaser receives (or is deemed to receive) Seller’s Response Notice, in which event (x) the Deposit, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser, and upon return of the Deposit and payment of the Reimbursement, neither party shall have any further liability to the other hereunder, except as provided in Sections 3.2, 11.3 and Article X of this Agreement; or (2) proceed to close without reduction in or offset against the Purchase Price, and thereafter Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted such Defect(s) as Permitted Exceptions, and Purchaser shall be deemed to automatically and forever waive any and all claims and liabilities against Seller with respect to such Defect(s). To the extent that Purchaser fails to timely and properly notify Seller (pursuant to this Section 4.3) of any such Defect(s), Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the same and to automatically and forever waive its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section and such Defect(s) shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions for all purposes hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall be obligated to remove (i) all mortgages which affect the Premises, and (ii) all mechanics liens, monetary liens and all judgment liens affecting the Premises (collectively, clauses (i) and (ii) are hereinafter referred to as “Monetary Liens”). If a Monetary Lien can be removed (by bonding or otherwise) but Seller fails to remove any of such Monetary Lien(s), then Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole discretion, (x) proceed to the Closing (accepting title subject to such Monetary Liens) and accept a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the Monetary Lien (but without any other modifications to this Agreement) or (y) terminate this Agreement upon five (5) business days prior written notice and receive a refund of the Deposit.

4.4 Purchaser may obtain, at its option, an update of the Existing Survey, certified by the surveyor as having been prepared in accordance with the most currently available minimum detail and classification requirements of ALTA/ACSM (the “Updated Survey”). The cost of any Updated Survey shall be paid by Purchaser. If obtained by Purchaser, the Updated Survey will be provided to Seller. Purchaser may, prior to the Closing Date, notify Seller in writing of Purchaser’s objection to any exceptions to title (“Supplemental Exceptions”) first raised by the Title Company after delivery of the Title Commitment or the Updated Survey. If Purchaser does not expressly object in writing to any Supplemental Exceptions prior to the date that is five (5) business days after receipt of the Supplemental Exception, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved any such Supplemental Exceptions and same shall be a Permitted Exception. With respect to any objections to Supplemental Exceptions set forth in such notice, Seller shall have the same option (or obligation, with respect to Monetary Liens) to cure and Purchaser shall have the same options to accept title subject to such matters or to terminate this Agreement as applicable to any notice of objections made by Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.3, above.

ARTICLE V

CLOSING

The purchase and sale contemplated herein shall be consummated at a closing (the “Closing”) to take place through an escrow with the Michigan office of the Title Company, on the basis of a “New York-style” closing. The Closing shall occur no later than fifteen (15) days after the Approval Date, or at such other time as the parties may agree upon in writing (the “Closing Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the one-time right to extend the Closing Date for five (5) additional business days upon written notice to Seller prior to the initial Closing Date.

6.15 That this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, and the execution and performance of this Agreement does not and will not conflict with, or cause a default under any agreement to which Seller is a party or by which Seller or the Property is bound.

All references in this Agreement to “Seller’s knowledge,” “Seller’s actual knowledge” or words of similar import shall refer only to the actual knowledge of P. Caroline Roberts, Seller’s designated property manager, without any duty of investigation or inquiry, and, notwithstanding any fact or circumstance to the contrary, shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other person or entity.

All representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months thereafter, subject to further survival as provided below. In the event that any representation or warranty set forth herein is false, then Seller agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Purchaser from and against all costs, expenses, losses, fees, claims, liabilities, and damages that Purchaser may incur, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and court costs, provided that any such claim for indemnification must be made by Purchaser prior to the expiration of said six (6) month period, and if any such claim is so made, the representation or warranty that is the subject thereof shall continue to survive until the claim is fully and finally resolved. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser is and, at Closing, will be justifiably relying on Seller’s representations and warranties in this Agreement.

Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly if Seller becomes aware of any condition, state of facts or other matter, which would make any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Article VI untrue in any material respect prior to the Closing Date. At any time between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller may update any representation or warranty made in this Agreement to the extent that the same is no longer true and Purchaser shall, within five (5) days after the delivery of

 

8


such updated representation or warranty from Seller, have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to either (1) terminate this Agreement and receive the prompt return of the Deposit from Escrow Agent and thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further liability, obligation or responsibility to the other under this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or (2) proceed to the Closing. If Purchaser does not notify Seller in writing of its election of option (1) or option (2) in the preceding sentence prior to the expiration of such five (5) day period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and the Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser. If Purchaser becomes aware that any of the representations, covenants and warranties contained in this Agreement are untrue in any material respect, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of the representation, covenant or warranty which Purchaser believes is untrue in any material respect (“Warranty Notice”). Seller shall have ten (10) days after receipt of a Warranty Notice to cure the untruth, but shall have no obligation to do so. If Seller is unable or unwilling to cure the same within said ten (10) day period, Purchaser may, at its option, exercise its rights under either option (1) or option (2) above within five (5) days after the expiration of such ten (10) day period as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies in such event. If Purchaser does not notify Seller in writing within such five (5) day period of its election of option (1) or option (2) above, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and the Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser. No claim by Purchaser or its permitted assignees and successors for a breach of a representation or warranty of Seller shall be actionable or payable if the breach in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter, which was actually known to Purchaser (either because Purchaser has discovered that a representation or warranty is untrue or Seller has disclosed to Purchaser by written notice that a representation or warranty is untrue) prior to the Closing. If Purchaser elects to consummate the transaction described herein with such actual knowledge, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any action against Seller with respect to a breach of such representation or warranty.

Except as is otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Seller hereby specifically disclaims any warranty (oral or written) concerning (i) the nature and condition of the Property and the suitability thereof for any and all activities and uses that Purchaser may elect to conduct thereon, (ii) the manner, construction, condition and state of repair or lack of repair of any improvements located thereon, (iii) the nature and extent of any right-of-way, lien, encumbrance, license, reservation, condition or otherwise, (iv) the compliance of the Property or its operation with any laws, rules, ordinances, or regulations of any government or other body, it being specifically understood that Purchaser shall have full opportunity, during the Inspection Period, to determine for itself the condition of the Property; and (v) any other matter whatsoever except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Except as is otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the sale of the Property as provided for herein is made on a strictly “AS IS” “WHERE IS” basis as of the Closing Date. Except as is otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Purchaser expressly acknowledges that, in consideration of the agreements of Seller herein, SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW, INCLUDING, BUT IN NO WAY LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY OF QUANTITY, QUALITY, CONDITION, HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE PROPERTY, ANY IMPROVEMENTS LOCATED THEREON OR ANY SOIL CONDITIONS RELATED THERETO.

PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PURCHASER IS NOT RELYING ON (AND SELLER HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND RENOUNCES) ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES MADE BY OR ON BEHALF OF SELLER OF ANY

KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER, EXCEPT AS IS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT. OTHER THAN CLAIMS RELATED TO A BREACH OF A REPRESENTATION SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER, FOR PURCHASER AND PURCHASER’S SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, HEREBY RELEASES SELLER FROM AND WAIVES ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AND LIABILITIES AGAINST SELLER FOR, RELATED TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION AT THE PROPERTY (OR THE PRESENCE OF ANY MATTER OR SUBSTANCE RELATING TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY), INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CLAIMS AND/OR LIABILITIES RELATING TO (IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER) ANY HAZARDOUS, TOXIC OR DANGEROUS MATERIALS OR SUBSTANCES LOCATED IN, AT, ABOUT OR UNDER THE PROPERTY, OR FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION (ACTUAL OR THREATENED) BASED UPON, IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF CERCLA (THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION AND LIABILITY ACT OF 1980, 42 U.S.C. ‘9601 ET SEQ., AS AMENDED BY THE SUPERFUND AMENDMENT AND REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 1986, AND AS MAY BE FURTHER AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME), THE RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT OF 1976, 42 U.S.C. ‘6901 ET SEQ., OR ANY OTHER CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION (INCLUDING ANY FEDERAL OR STATE BASED STATUTORY, REGULATORY OR COMMON LAW CAUSE OF ACTION) RELATED TO ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS OR LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO OR AFFECTING THE PROPERTY.

Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in the foregoing portion of Article VI were a material factor in Seller’s acceptance of the Purchase Price and that Seller was unwilling to sell the Property to Purchaser unless Seller was released as expressly set forth above.

7.2 If Seller shall have failed (prior to a material default by Purchaser hereunder) to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by Seller within the time for performance as specified herein (including Seller’s obligation to close), Purchaser may either (i) terminate Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the Deposit, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser, and Seller shall pay to Purchaser all of Purchaser’s costs and expenses incurred through the date of termination, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, the cost of the Updated Survey, the cost of the Assessment, and any other third party costs incurred by Purchaser, provided, however that in no event shall Seller be obligated to reimburse Purchaser for any costs and/or expenses in excess of $30,000.00; or (ii) Purchaser may file an action for specific performance of this Agreement. Purchaser shall have no other remedy for any default by Seller, including any right to damages.
