14. Termination; Remedies; Seller Indemnity.

 

(a) Without limiting anything contained in subsection 8(c), if the Closing does not occur by reason of Seller’s default hereunder that is not cured within ten (10) days after Seller first has knowledge of such default, then Buyer shall be entitled to pursue its right to specifically enforce this Agreement and to record a notice of pendency of action against the Property.

 

(b) Without limiting anything contained in subsection 8(c), if the Closing does not occur by reason of Buyer’s default hereunder that is not cured within ten (10) days after Buyer first has knowledge of such default, then Seller shall have the right as its sole and exclusive remedy to terminate this Agreement by notifying Buyer in writing thereof, in which case Buyer shall pay Seller $50,000.00 as liquidated damages.

 

(c) In addition to any and all other obligations of Seller under this Agreement (including without limitation under any indemnity or similar provision set forth herein), and except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement (including, without limitation, in subsection 14(b) hereof), Seller hereby fully and forever releases, discharges, acquits, indemnifies, protects, and agrees to defend (with counsel selected by Seller and approved by Buyer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and hold Buyer, Buyer's members, partners, trustees, ancillary trustees, officers, directors, shareholders, beneficiaries, agents, employees, independent contractors and any person or entity in Control of, having Control over, or under common Control with Buyer, regardless of the number of tiers of ownership (collectively, “Buyer’s Affiliates”), and lenders to Buyer and to all Buyer’s Affiliates, wholly free and harmless of, from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, settlements, obligations, duties, indebtedness, debts, controversies, losses, remedies, choses in action, liabilities, costs, penalties, fines, damages, injury, judgments, forfeiture, losses (including without limitation diminution in the value of the Properties) or expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees, consultant fees, testing and investigation fees, expert fees and court costs), whether known or unknown, whether liquidated or unliquidated (collectively, “Claims”), arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not be applicable to the extent, and only to the extent, any such Claims are directly attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer, as determined by a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

 

15. Disclosure.

 

(a) Buyer and Seller shall keep information regarding terms of this Agreement confidential, except that each Party may disclose the terms this Agreement (i) to its, and its affiliates’, officers, directors, employees, accountants, agents, potential financing sources, legal counsel and such other third parties as reasonably necessary to effectuate the closing of the transaction contemplated herein, and (ii) as required by law, administrative agency or court order. Without limiting the foregoing, neither Party will announce or otherwise make public the terms of this transaction without the prior consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, except as reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities laws, any of Buyer and Seller, and each employee, representative or other agent of such Party, may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the Tax Treatment and Tax Structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”) and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such Tax Treatment and Tax Structure. As used in this subsection, (i) “Tax Treatment” means, and is strictly limited to, the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Transaction, and does not include, without limitation, any of the following, in each case to the extent not related to the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Transaction: information relating to the identity of any Party to the Transaction or any of such party’s employees, representatives, or other agents; the existence and status of negotiations between the Parties; and financial, business, legal or other information regarding a Party (or any of its employees, representatives or other agents); and (ii) “Tax Structure” means, and is strictly limited to, any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Transaction, and does not include, without limitation, any of the following, in each case to the extent not related to any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Transaction: information relating to the identity of any Party to the Transaction or any of such Party’s employees, representatives, or other agents; the existence and status of negotiations between the Parties; and financial, business, legal or other information regarding a Party (or any of its employees, representatives or other agents). The authorization of tax disclosure set forth in this subsection is retroactively effective to the commencement of the first discussions between the parties regarding the Transaction. The foregoing provisions are meant to be interpreted so as to prevent the Transaction from being treated as offered under “conditions of confidentiality” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

 

 

16. Further Assurances. Both Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with one another and in a timely manner execute any and all additional documents, papers and other assurances, and shall do any and all acts reasonably necessary to give effect to the purchase and sale provided for herein.

 

17. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is adjudicated by a court having jurisdiction over a dispute arising herefrom to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions hereof and such remaining provisions shall continue in force and effect to the full extent permitted by law.

 

18. Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

 

(a) This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles, and except in any action to specifically enforce performance of this Agreement, in which event the law of the state of the Real Property with respect to which such specific performance is requested shall govern.

 

(b) SELLER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK OR WITHIN THE COUNTY AND STATE IN WHICH ANY PROPERTIES IS LOCATED AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO BUYER’S ELECTION, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS. SELLER ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

 

(c) EACH OF BUYER AND SELLER, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, WAIVES, RELINQUISHES AND FOREVER FORGOES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO BUYER’S ENTERING INTO THE AGREEMENT.

 

 

19. Whole Agreement; Modification. Except as provided below, this Agreement is the entire agreement between Seller and Buyer concerning the sale of the Property and no modification hereof or subsequent agreement relative to the subject matter hereof shall be binding on either Party unless reduced to writing and signed by the Party to be bound. All Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are incorporated herein by this reference for all purposes.

 

20. Survival. The provisions of Sections 4, 6 (other than subsection 6(c)), 8, 11, 12 and 14 through 27 (inclusive), and subsection 7(b), shall survive Closing and any termination of this Agreement for a period of six (6) months.

 

21. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of each and every provision of this Agreement. In the event that the last day for taking any action or serving notice under this Agreement falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the time period shall be extended until the following business day.

 

22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile or photocopy signature on this Agreement or any notice delivered hereunder shall have the same legal effect as an original signature.

 

23. Attorneys’ Fees. If any action or proceeding is instituted to enforce or interpret any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and costs from the losing Party.

 

24. No Waiver. The waiver by one Party of the performance of any covenant, condition or promise, or of the time for performing any act, under this Agreement shall not invalidate this Agreement nor shall it be considered a waiver by such Party of any other covenant, condition or promise, or of the time for performing any other act required, under this Agreement. The exercise of any remedy for which this Agreement provides shall not be a waiver of any remedy provided by law, and the provisions of this Agreement for any remedy shall not exclude any other remedies unless they are expressly excluded.

 

25. Date of Agreement. All references in this Agreement to “the date hereof” or similar references shall be deemed to refer to the first date set forth above.

 

26. Transaction Characterization. The Parties intend that the conveyance of the Properties to Buyer be an absolute conveyance in effect as well as form, and the instruments to be delivered at Closing (including, without limitation, the Lease Agreement and the other Transaction Documents) are not intended to serve or operate as a mortgage, equitable mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or financing or trust arrangement of any kind. After the execution and delivery of the Deed, Seller will have no legal or equitable interest or any other claim or interest in the Property other than as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Furthermore, the Parties intend for the Lease Agreement to be a true lease and not a transaction creating a financing lease, capital lease, equitable mortgage, mortgage, deed of trust, security interest or other financing arrangement, and the economic realities of the Lease Agreement are those of a true lease. Notwithstanding the existence of the Lease Agreement, neither Party shall contest the validity, enforceability or characterization of the sale and purchase of the Property by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement as an absolute conveyance, and both Parties shall support the intent expressed herein that the purchase of the Property by Buyer provides for an absolute conveyance and does not create a joint venture, partnership, equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or arrangement, security interest or the like, if and to the extent that any challenge occurs.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Buyer and Seller have executed this Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
