ARTICLE VII
AGREEMENTS AFFECTING THE PROPERTY

 

Section 7.1          Purchaser’s Approval of Agreements Affecting the Property. Seller acknowledges and agrees that it was a material inducement to Purchaser entering into this Agreement that any and all benefits, rights, and interests associated with the Property remain in the same condition existing as of the Effective Date and, as a result, Seller shall not be entitled, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, to (i) alter, amend, modify, supplement, or extend the term of any existing Intangible Property or enter into any new leases, contracts, agreements, or other instruments associated with the Property, (ii) alter, amend, or modify the Revenues (as defined in Section 8.5 below) of any existing Intangible Property or enter into any new leases, contracts, agreements, or other instruments associated with the Property until Closing, (iii) make any tenant and other capital improvements in connection with the Property, or (iv) cancel or terminate any existing Intangible Property or commence any collection, unlawful detainer, or other remedial action against any tenant or contract vendor. In addition, Seller will not sell, encumber, convey, assign, pledge, lease, or contract to sell, convey, assign, pledge, encumber or lease all or any part of the Property, nor restrict the use of all or any part of the Property, nor take or cause or allow to be taken any action in conflict with this Agreement at any time between the Effective Date and the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 7.2          Assignment of Intangible Property. The Seller’s Disclosures shall include full and complete copies of any and all Intangible Property, together with detailed statements, summaries, and supplemental information as to such Intangible Property. To the extent Intangible Property is assignable, all Intangible Property shall be fully assigned to and assumed by Purchaser as of the Closing by execution by both Parties of an Assignment and Assumption of Intangible Property, in a form to be negotiated and agreed-upon in good faith by the Parties (the “Assignment of Intangible Property”). The Assignment of Intangible Property shall state and be consistent with the non-assumption of liabilities provided for in Section 1.2 above. No later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline, Seller will obtain any written estoppel certificates required by Purchaser concerning the Intangible Property signed by each such tenant or third-party prior to Closing, which estoppel certificates shall be in a form to be negotiated and agreed-upon in good faith by the Parties.

Without limitation, from the Effective Date to the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not do, suffer or permit, or agree to do, any of the following: (i) enter into any transaction with respect to or affecting the Property that would in any way prevent Seller’s full and complete performance under this Agreement, or limit or adversely affect Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement or as an owner of the Property following Closing (including, without limitation, anything that may subject Purchaser to any cost, liability, or expense or otherwise interfere with, delay, or increase the cost of Purchaser’s acquisition, development, use, maintenance, and operation of the Property); (ii) sell, encumber, pledge, or grant any interest in the Property or any part thereof in any form or manner whatsoever; (iii) enter into, amend, waive any rights under, terminate, or extend any document or instrument affecting the Property without the prior written consent of Purchaser; or (iv) without limiting the foregoing, change the physical characteristics of the Property in any respect unless Purchaser has given its prior written approval to any such change. For purposes of this Section 7.3, it shall not be unreasonable for Purchaser to refuse to consent to any matter that may subject Purchaser to any cost, liability, or expense or otherwise interfere with, delay, or increase the cost of Purchaser’s acquisition, development, use, maintenance, and operation of the Property.

Any prior correspondence, memoranda, or agreements are replaced in total by this Agreement together with the exhibits hereto.

 

Section 9.3          Entry and Indemnity. In connection with any entry by Purchaser, or its authorized agents, employees, or contractors onto those portions of the Property inspected by Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement, Purchaser shall give Seller reasonable advance notice twenty-four (24) hours prior to such entry (which may be delivered in writing, by e-mail, or orally) and shall conduct such entry and any inspections in connection therewith so as to minimize, to the extent reasonably possible, interference with the activities of Seller and the existing tenant, which in some circumstances may mean that Seller may require more than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice to Seller prior to the performance of said inspections given the sensitive and confidential nature of Seller’s business activities for its clients. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to any entry to perform any on-site testing, Purchaser shall give Seller notice thereof, including the identity of the authorized company or persons who will perform such testing and a reasonable explanation of the proposed scope of the testing. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any costs, damages, liabilities, losses, expenses, liens, or claims arising out of or relating to any entry on the Property by Purchaser, its authorized agents, employees, or contractors in the course of performing the inspections, testing, or inquiries provided for in this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to (i) the mere discovery of a pre-existing condition unless caused by Purchaser, or (ii) costs, damages, liabilities, losses, expenses, liens, or claims arising out of or relating to Seller’s negligence or willful misconduct.

To the extent Purchaser assigns its interest the Two Million dollar ($2,000,000.00) balance shall be paid to Seller at Closing. Any such assignment shall not constitute a waiver or release by Seller of any claims of Seller against Purchaser. In the event this Agreement is assigned as provided for above, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties to this Agreement. Seller’s consent shall not be required for any assignment by Purchaser that complies with this Section 9.6 and so long as the applicable Assigns have expressly assumed all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement upon consummation of such assignment. Notwithstanding the forgoing, nothing herein shall be construed to prevent Seller from unilaterally making an assignment to any entity or person working in cooperation with Seller for tax and / or estate planning purposes so long as such assignee agrees to cooperate and perform under this agreement.
