If the Closing contemplated hereunder fails to take place for any reason, Purchaser shall promptly return all copies of materials copied from Seller’s books, records and files relating to the Property. It is understood and agreed that Seller shall have no obligation to obtain, commission or prepare any such books, records, files, reports or studies not now in Seller’s possession. Subject to the foregoing, Seller agrees to make available to Purchaser for

3.3 Condition of the Property.

(a) Seller recommends that Purchaser employ one or more independent engineering and/or environmental professionals to perform engineering, environmental and physical assessments on Purchaser’s behalf in respect of the Property and the condition thereof. Purchaser and Seller mutually acknowledge and agree that the Property is being sold in an “AS IS” condition and “WITH ALL FAULTS,” known or unknown, contingent or existing. Purchaser has the sole responsibility to fully inspect the Property, to investigate all matters relevant thereto, including, without limitation, the condition of the Property, and to reach its own, independent evaluation of any risks (environmental or otherwise) or rewards associated with the ownership, leasing, management and operation of the Property.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Purchaser does hereby unconditionally waive and release Seller, and its partners, beneficial owners, officers, directors, shareholders and employees from any present or future claims and liabilities of any nature arising from or relating to the presence or alleged presence of Hazardous Substances in, on, at, from, under or about the Property or any adjacent property, including, without limitation, any claims under or on account of any Environmental Law, regardless of whether such Hazardous Substances are located in, on, at, from, under or about the Property or any adjacent property prior to or after the date hereof. In addition, Purchaser does hereby covenant and agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Seller and its partners, beneficial owners, officers, directors,

 

13


shareholders and employees from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs or expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, existing and future, including any action or proceeding brought or threatened, or ordered by governmental authorities, relating to any Hazardous Substances which may be placed, located or released on the Property after the Closing Date. The terms and provisions of this Section 3.3 shall survive the Closing hereunder. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing herein shall be deemed to release or relieve Seller from liability for (i) any act of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Seller in connection with this transaction, (ii) any breach of or inaccuracy in the express representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 4.1 below or in any of the documents to be executed by Seller at Closing pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) any breach of Seller’s covenants hereunder or under any of the documents to be executed by Seller at Closing pursuant to this Agreement, subject to Purchaser waiving such breach and electing to close Escrow under the terms of this Agreement.

3.4 Title and Survey. Within two (2) Business Days after the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense order from the Title Company a preliminary owner’s title commitment with respect to the Property issued by the Title Company in favor of Purchaser (the “Title Commitment”). Purchaser may request that the Title Company make copies of the Title Commitment, and copies of all underlying recorded exceptions referenced in the Title Commitment, available to Seller on the Title Company’s website. Seller, at Seller’s cost and expense, shall arrange for the preparation of an update of the Existing Survey to be delivered to Purchaser on or before five (5) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Title Commitment (the “New Survey”). Purchaser shall have until the Business Day which is seven (7) Business Days prior to the last day of the Inspection Period to give written notice (the “First Title Notice”) to Seller of those objections which Purchaser may have to any exceptions to title disclosed in the Title Commitment or in any Survey or otherwise in Purchaser’s examination of title. From time to time at any time after the First Title Notice and prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser may give written notice of its objection to exceptions to title first appearing of record after the effective date of any updated title commitment or matters of survey reflected in the New Survey which were not reflected in the Existing Survey or the initial Title Commitment. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (except as to Monetary Objections affecting the Property which Seller shall be obligated to remove as a covenant of Seller at Seller’s sole cost and expense), to attempt to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any exceptions to title to which the Purchaser so objects. Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s First Title Notice or any objection notice by Purchaser subsequent to Purchaser’s First Title Notice, Seller shall give written notice to Purchaser informing Purchaser of Seller’s election with respect to such title exceptions objected to by Purchaser (“Seller’s Title Response”). If Seller fails to give Seller’s Title Response within such three (3) Business Day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure Purchaser’s objections (other than Monetary Objections). If Seller elects to attempt to cure any objections, Seller shall be entitled to one or more reasonable adjournments of the Closing of up to but not beyond the thirtieth (30th) day following the initial date set for the Closing to attempt such cure, but, except for Monetary Objections, Seller shall not be obligated to expend any sums, commence any suits or take any other action to effect such cure. Except as to Monetary Objections affecting the Property, if Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to cure any title exceptions to which Purchaser has objected or if, after electing to attempt to cure, Seller determines that it is unwilling or unable to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any such title exceptions, Purchaser’s sole remedy hereunder in such event shall be either (i)

 

14


to accept title to the Property subject to such title exceptions as if Purchaser had not objected thereto and without reduction of the Purchase Price (in which event such title exceptions shall become Permitted Exceptions) or (ii) to terminate this Agreement within three (3) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Seller either of Seller’s election not to attempt to cure any objection or of Seller’s determination, having previously elected to attempt to cure, that Seller is unable or unwilling to do so, or three (3) Business Days after Seller is deemed hereunder to have elected not to attempt to cure such objections (and upon any such termination, Escrow Agent shall return the entire Earnest Money to Purchaser) and the parties shall be released from their respective obligations under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller shall be obligated to cure or satisfy all Monetary Objections affecting the Property at or prior to Closing, and Seller may use the proceeds of the Purchase Price at Closing for such purpose. Only those exceptions noted in the Title Commitment (and on any updates thereto) or on the New Survey which Purchaser is willing to accept pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be included as Permitted Exceptions.

3.5 Operating Agreements. On or before ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser will designate in a written notice to Seller those Operating Agreements that are assignable by Seller which Purchaser will assume at Closing and which Operating Agreements will be terminated by Seller at Closing; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to terminate, and Purchaser shall assume Seller’s obligations arising from and after Closing under, all Operating Agreements which cannot be terminated by Seller upon no more than thirty (30) days prior notice or which can be terminated by Seller only upon payment of a fee, premium, penalty or other form of early termination compensation. Taking into account any credits or prorations to be made pursuant to Article 5 hereof for payments coming due after Closing but accruing prior to Closing, Purchaser will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under those Operating Agreements which Purchaser has designated will not be terminated. Seller, without cost to Purchaser, shall terminate at Closing all Operating Agreements that are not so assumed. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing on or prior to the date which is ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period of any Operating Agreements that Purchaser does not desire to assume at Closing, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to assume all such Operating Agreements and to have waived its right to require Seller to terminate such Operating Agreements at Closing.

3.6 Termination of Agreement. Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Inspection Period to determine, in Purchaser’s sole opinion and discretion, the suitability of the Property for acquisition by Purchaser or Purchaser’s permitted assignees. Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time on or before said time and date of expiration of the Inspection Period by giving written notice to Seller of such election to terminate. If Purchaser so elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.6 or fails to deliver its Notice of Election to Proceed to Seller and the Escrow Agent on or before 3:00 p.m. on the Approval Date as provided in Section 3.1 above, Escrow Agent shall pay the Initial Earnest Money to Purchaser, whereupon, except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any other or further rights or obligations under this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to so terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall have no further right

 

15


to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.6. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement shall not be void or voidable for lack of mutuality.

3.7 Confidentiality. All information acquired by Purchaser or any Purchaser’s Agents with respect to the Property, whether delivered by Seller or any of Seller’s representatives or obtained by Purchaser as a result of its inspection and investigation of the Property, examination of Seller’s books, records and files in respect of the Property, or otherwise (collectively, the “Due Diligence Material”) shall be used solely for the purpose of determining whether the Property is suitable for Purchaser’s acquisition and ownership thereof and for no other purpose whatsoever. The terms and conditions which are contained in this Agreement and all Due Diligence Material which is not published, not public knowledge or which is not available in the public domain shall be kept in strict confidence by Purchaser and shall not be disclosed to any individual or entity other than to those authorized representatives of Purchaser and Purchaser’s prospective and actual counsel, accountants, professionals, consultants, assignees, investors, attorneys and lenders who need to know the information for the purpose of assisting Purchaser in evaluating the Property for Purchaser’s potential acquisition thereof; provided however, that Purchaser shall have the right to disclose any such information if required by applicable law or as may be necessary in connection with any court action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement. Purchaser shall and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage or expense that Seller may suffer or incur (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred) as a result of the unpermitted disclosure or use of the Due Diligence Material to any individual or entity other than appropriate representatives of Purchaser and Purchaser’s counsel, accountants, professionals, consultants, assignees, investors, attorneys and lenders and/or the use of any Due Diligence Material for any purpose other than as herein contemplated and permitted. If Purchaser or Seller elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof permitting such termination, or if the Closing contemplated hereunder fails to occur for any reason, Purchaser will promptly return to Seller all Due Diligence Material in the possession of Purchaser and any of its representatives, and destroy all copies, notes or abstracts or extracts thereof, as well as all copies of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by Purchaser or for its use (whether in written or electronic form) containing or reflecting any Due Diligence Material. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or any of its representatives of this Section 3.9, Seller shall be entitled, in addition to other available remedies, to an injunction restraining Purchaser or its representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part, any of the Due Diligence Material and any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting or limiting Seller from pursuing any other available remedy, in law or in equity, for such breach or threatened breach. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing and any earlier termination of this Agreement.

McCall, Vice President of Asset Management, who has been actively involved in the management of Seller’s business in respect of the Property. There shall be no personal liability on the part of the individual named above arising out of any representations or warranties made herein or otherwise. The term “knowledge of Seller” or “to Seller’s knowledge” shall not be construed, by imputation or otherwise, to refer to the knowledge of Seller, or any affiliate of Seller, or to any other partner, beneficial owner, officer, director, agent, manager, representative or employee of Seller, or any of their respective affiliates, or to impose on the individual named above any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge, or the absence thereof, pertains.

4.3 Covenants and Agreements of Seller.

(a) Leasing Arrangements. During the pendency of this Agreement, provided Purchaser does not elect to terminate this agreement, Seller will not enter into any lease affecting the Property, or modify or amend in any respect, or terminate, any of the existing Leases without Purchaser’s prior written consent in each instance, which consent may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion. Each written request by Seller shall be accompanied by a copy of any proposed modification or amendment of an existing Lease or of any new Lease that Seller wishes to execute between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, including, without limitation, a description of any Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions associated with any proposed renewal or expansion of an existing Lease or with any such new Lease. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing of its approval or disapproval of any of the foregoing within three (3) Business Days of Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s written request, such failure by Purchaser shall be deemed to be the disapproval by Purchaser. At Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for any Tenant Inducement Costs, leasing commissions or other expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred by Seller pursuant to a renewal or expansion of any existing Lease or new Lease approved by Purchaser hereunder.

(b) New Contracts. During the pendency of this Agreement, provided Purchaser does not elect to terminate this agreement, Seller will not enter into any Operating Agreement or contract, or modify, amend, renew or extend any existing Operating Agreement or contract, that will be an obligation affecting the Property or any part thereof subsequent to the Closing without Purchaser’s prior written consent in each instance, which Purchaser may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause (and without penalty or premium) on thirty (30) days (or less) notice.

(c) Operation of Property. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller shall continue to operate the Property in a good and businesslike fashion consistent with Seller’s past practices.

20


expiration of the Inspection Period, the written Major Tenant Estoppel Certificate in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT “H-1” executed by the Major Tenant and written Tenant Estoppel Certificates in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT “H-2” executed by each tenant under the Leases other than the Major Tenant. The delivery of the executed Major Tenant Estoppel Certificate in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT “H-1” from the Major Tenant on or before the date which is five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, shall be an express condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to Close the purchase and sale transaction under this Agreement.

Subject to the condition that Seller deliver the Major Tenant Estoppel, delivery of executed Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the other tenants (other than the Major Tenant) shall be a condition of Closing only to the extent set forth in Section 6.1(c) hereof; and in no event shall the inability or failure of Seller to obtain and deliver said Tenant Estoppel Certificates (Seller having used commercially reasonable efforts as set forth above) be a default of Seller hereunder.

4.4 Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser makes the following representations and warranties to Seller:

(a) Organization, Authorization and Consents. Purchaser is a duly organized and validly existing corporation under the laws of the State of California.

(b) Action of Purchaser, Etc. Purchaser has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and upon the execution and delivery of any document to be delivered by Purchaser on or prior to the Closing, this Agreement and such document shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation and agreement of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.

(c) No Violations of Agreements. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Purchaser, nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, will result in any breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or conflict with or constitute a default under the terms of any indenture, deed to secure debt, mortgage, deed of trust, note, security agreement, evidence of indebtedness or any other agreement or instrument by which Purchaser is bound.

 

21

There shall be no personal liability on the part of the individual named above arising out of any representations or warranties made herein or otherwise. The term “knowledge of Purchaser” or “to Purchaser’s knowledge” shall not be construed, by imputation or otherwise, to refer to the knowledge of Purchaser or to any affiliate of Purchaser, or to any partner, beneficial owner, officer, director, agent, manager, representative or employee of Purchaser, or any of their respective affiliates, or to impose on the individual named above any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge, or absence of thereof, pertains. The representations and warranties made in this Agreement by Purchaser shall be continuing and shall be deemed remade by Purchaser as of the Closing Date, with the same force and effect as if made on, and as of, such date subject to Purchaser’s right to update such representations and warranties by written notice to Seller and in Purchaser’s certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(d) hereof.

25


 

(b) Reproration of Taxes. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of final bills for Taxes, the party receiving said final tax bills shall furnish copies of the same to the other party and shall prepare and present to such other party a calculation of the reproration of such Taxes based upon the actual amount of such items charged to or received by the parties for the year or other applicable tax period.

The provisions of this Section 5.4(b) shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date.

(c) Rents, Income and Other Expenses. Rents and any other amounts paid to Seller by the tenants under the Leases (and any new lease entered into in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and be adjusted against the Purchase Price on the basis of a schedule which shall be prepared by Seller and delivered to Purchaser for Purchaser’s review and approval prior to Closing. Seller and Purchaser shall prorate all rents, additional rent, common area maintenance charges, operating expense contributions, tenant reimbursements and escalations, and all other payments under the Leases (and any such new lease) received as of the Closing Date so that at Closing Seller will receive monthly basic rent payments through the day prior to the Closing Date and so that Seller will receive reimbursement for all expenses paid by Seller through the day prior to the Closing Date for which Seller is entitled to reimbursement under the Leases (including, without limitation, Taxes) (such expenses shall be reasonably estimated if not ascertainable as the Closing Date and then shall be re-adjusted as provided in (g) below when actual amounts are determined), and so that the excess, if any, is credited to Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller, upon receipt, any rents or other payments by the tenants under the Leases with respect to the Property that apply to periods prior to Closing but which are received by Purchaser after Closing; provided, however, that any rents or other payments by such tenants received by Purchaser after Closing shall be applied first to any current amounts then owed to Purchaser by such tenants, with the balance, if any, paid over to Seller to the extent of delinquencies existing on the date of Closing to which Seller is entitled. It is understood and agreed that Purchaser shall not be legally responsible to Seller for the collection of any rents or other charges payable with respect to the Leases of Seller or any portion thereof which are delinquent or past due as of the Closing Date but that Purchaser shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to collect the same, but without any obligation to seek eviction of the tenants or terminate any Lease; but Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall send monthly notices for a period of three (3) consecutive months in an effort to collect any rents and charges not collected as of the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 5.4(c) shall survive the Closing.

(d) Tenant Inducement Costs. Set forth on EXHIBIT “J” attached hereto and made a part hereof is a list of tenants at the Property with respect to which Tenant Inducement Costs and/or leasing commissions have not been paid in full as of the Effective Date. Seller and Purchaser recognize and agree that the Purchase Price has been reduced by the amount of the Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions payable to the Major Tenant pursuant to the Major Tenant Lease. In the event that Seller shall be required to pay all or any portion of such Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions prior to the Closing Date, the Purchase Price shall be increased pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Agreement. If said amounts have not been paid in full on or before Closing Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay amounts payable after Closing. Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement,

 

26


Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions which become due and payable (whether before or after Closing) (i) as a result of any renewals or extensions or expansions of existing Leases approved or deemed approved by Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.3(a) hereof between the Effective Date and the Closing Date and under any new Leases, approved by Purchaser in accordance with said Section 4.3(a), and (ii) all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions that first become due and payable after Closing. The provisions of this Section 5.4(e) shall survive the Closing.

(e) Security Deposits. Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit for Security Deposits (if any) transferred and assigned to Purchaser at Closing in connection with the Leases, together with a detailed inventory of such Security Deposits certified by Seller at Closing.

(f) Other Expenses. Any personal property taxes, installment payments of special assessment liens, vault charges, sewer charges, utility charges and normally prorated operating expenses actually paid or payable as of the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and adjusted against the Purchase Price, provided that within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Purchaser and Seller will make a further adjustment for such taxes, liens and charges which may have accrued or been incurred prior to the Closing Date, but not collected or paid at that date. In addition, within ninety (90) days after the close of the fiscal year(s) used in calculating the pass-through to tenants of operating expenses and/or common area maintenance costs under the Leases (where such fiscal year(s) include(s) the Closing Date), Seller and Purchaser shall, upon the request of either, re-prorate on a fair and equitable basis in order to adjust for the effect of any credits or payments due to or from tenants for periods prior to the Closing Date. All prorations shall be made based on the number of calendar days in such year or month, as the case may be. The provisions of this Section 5.4(f) shall survive the Closing.

(a) Seller shall have performed, in all material respects, all covenants, agreements and undertakings of Seller contained in this Agreement;

(b) All representations and warranties of Seller as set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of Closing, provided that solely for purposes of this subparagraph such warranties and representations shall be deemed to be given without being limited to Seller’s knowledge and without modification (by update or otherwise, as provided in Section 5.1(g) hereof);

27

The delivery of said Major Tenant Estoppel Certificate shall be a condition of Purchaser’s obligation to Close, but the failure or inability of Seller to obtain and deliver said Major Tenant Estoppel Certificate from the Major Tenant or any other Tenant Estoppel Certificate from any other tenant, Seller having used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the same from such tenant(s) under the Leases, shall not constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement.

In the event any of the conditions in this Section 6.1 have not been satisfied (or otherwise waived in writing by Purchaser) prior to or on the Closing Date (as same may be extended or postponed as provided in this Agreement), Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given prior to the Closing, whereupon (i) Escrow Agent shall return the Earnest Money to Purchaser; and (ii) except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any other or further rights or obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 7.

CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

7.1 Casualty. Risk of loss up to and including the Closing Date shall be borne by Seller. In the event of any immaterial damage or destruction to the Property or any portion thereof, Seller and Purchaser shall proceed to close under this Agreement, and Purchaser will

 

28


receive (and Seller will assign to Purchaser at the Closing Seller’s rights under insurance policies to receive) any 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 assume responsibility for such repair, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible, uninsured or coinsured amount under said insurance policies. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “immaterial damage or destruction” shall mean such instances of damage or destruction: (i) which can be repaired or restored at a cost of $500,000.00 or less; (ii) which can be restored and repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such damage or destruction; and (iii) which are not so extensive as to allow the Major Tenant to terminate its Lease on account of such damage or destruction.

In the event of any material damage or destruction to the Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by notice to Seller given within the earlier of twenty (20) days after Purchaser is notified by Seller of such damage or destruction, or the Closing Date, but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser is notified by Seller of such damage or destruction (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full 10-Business Day period to make such election): (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Earnest Money to Purchaser, or (ii) proceed to close under this Agreement, receive (and Seller will assign to Purchaser at the Closing Seller’s rights under insurance policies to receive) any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to the period on or after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (less any amounts reasonably expended for restoration or collection of proceeds) and assume responsibility for such repair, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under said insurance policies. If Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller notice of its election within the period set forth above, Purchaser will conclusively be deemed to have elected to proceed with the Closing as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. If Purchaser elects clause (ii) above, Seller will exercise its commercially reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Purchaser after the Closing to assist Purchaser in obtaining the insurance proceeds from Seller’s insurers. For purposes of this Agreement “material damage or destruction” shall mean all instances of damage or destruction that are not immaterial, as defined herein.

7.2 Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, all or any part of the Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body having the power of eminent domain or is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or sale in lieu thereof), or if Seller has received written notice that any condemnation action or proceeding with respect to the Property is contemplated by a body having the power of eminent domain (collectively, a “Taking”), Seller shall give Purchaser immediate written notice of such Taking. In the event of any immaterial Taking with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, Seller and Purchaser shall proceed to close under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “immaterial Taking” means such instances of Taking of the Property: (i) which do not result in a taking of any portion of the building structure of the building occupied by tenants on the Property; (ii) which do not result in a decrease in the number of parking spaces at the Property (taking into account the number of additional parking spaces that can be provided within one hundred eighty (180) days of such Taking) or unimpeded pedestrian and vehicular access to and from the Property; and (iii) which are not so extensive as to allow either of the tenants under the Leases to terminate their respective Leases or abate or reduce rent payable thereunder (unless business loss or rent

 

29


insurance (subject to applicable deductibles) or condemnation award proceeds shall be available in the full amount of such abatement or reduction, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for such deductible amount) on account of such Taking.

In the event of any material Taking of the Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by written notice to Seller given within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Seller, elect to terminate this Agreement, or Purchaser may choose to proceed to close. If Purchaser chooses to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.2, then the Earnest Money shall be returned immediately to Purchaser by Escrow Agent and the rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities of the parties hereunder shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect, except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement “material Taking” means all instances of a Taking that are not immaterial, as defined herein.

If Purchaser does not elect to, or has no right to, terminate this Agreement in accordance herewith on account of a Taking, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the sale of the Property contemplated by this Agreement, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, or sale in lieu thereof, shall be effected with no further adjustment and without reduction of the Purchase Price, and at the Closing, Seller shall assign, transfer, and set over to Purchaser all of the right, title, and interest of Seller in and to any awards applicable to the Property that have been or that may thereafter be made for such Taking. At such time as all or a part of the Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation and Purchaser has not elected to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 7.2, and provided that the Inspection Period has expired, (i) Purchaser shall thereafter be permitted to participate in the proceedings as if Purchaser were a party to the action, and (ii) Seller shall not settle or agree to any award or payment pursuant to condemnation, eminent domain, or sale in lieu thereof without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent thereto in each case.

ARTICLE 8.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

8.1 Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser fails to consummate this transaction for any reason other than (i) the default of Seller, (ii) failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close, or (iii) the exercise by Purchaser of an express right of termination granted herein, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy hereunder, to terminate this Agreement and to receive and retain the Earnest Money as full liquidated damages for such default of Purchaser, the parties hereto acknowledging that it is impossible to estimate more precisely the damages which might be suffered by Seller upon Purchaser’s default, and that said Earnest Money is a reasonable estimate of Seller’s probable loss in the event of default by Purchaser. Seller’s retention of said Earnest Money is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages. The right to retain the Earnest Money as full liquidated damages is Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of default hereunder by Purchaser, and Seller hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) sue the Purchaser: (a) for specific performance of this Agreement, or (b) to recover damages in excess of the Earnest Money. The foregoing liquidated damages provision shall not apply to or limit Purchaser’s liability for Purchaser’s obligations under Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.7 and 10.1 of this Agreement or for Purchaser’s obligation to pay to Seller all attorneys’ fees and costs of Seller to enforce the provisions of this Section 8.1.

 

30


Purchaser hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) sue Seller or seek or claim a refund of said Earnest Money (or any part thereof) on the grounds it is unreasonable in amount and exceeds Seller’s actual damages or that its retention by Seller constitutes a penalty and not agreed upon and reasonable liquidated damages.

8.2 Seller’s Default. If Seller fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement for any reason other than Purchaser’s default or the permitted termination of this Agreement by Seller or Purchaser as expressly provided herein, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, either (a) to receive the return of the Earnest Money from Escrow Agent, which return shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller from any and all liability hereunder, or (b) to enforce specific performance of the obligation of Seller to execute and deliver the documents required to convey the Property to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement; it being specifically understood and agreed that the remedy of specific performance shall not be available to enforce any other obligation of Seller hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after the Effective Date, Seller has conveyed title to the Property to another party or intentionally and knowingly taken any other action to defeat the remedy of specific performance, Purchaser shall be entitled to seek actual damages from Seller not to exceed Seven Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($700,000.00 U.S.). Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Section 8.2, Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of the default of Seller hereunder. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and to receive a return of the Earnest Money from Escrow Agent if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction on or before sixty (60) days following the date upon which the Closing was to have occurred.

ARTICLE 9.

ASSIGNMENT

9.1 Assignment. Subject to the next following sentence, this Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable by either party without the written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this Agreement and Purchaser’s rights hereunder (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s rights to enforce Seller’s representations, warranties and covenants against Seller) may be transferred and assigned without Seller’s consent to any business entity, entities or person(s) in which the Purchaser is a member or manager. Any assignee or transferee under any such assignment or transfer by Purchaser as to which Seller’s written consent has been given or as to which Seller’s consent is not required hereunder shall expressly assume all of Purchaser’s duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement by written instrument delivered to Seller as a condition to the effectiveness of such assignment or transfer. No assignment or transfer shall relieve the original Purchaser of any duties or obligations hereunder, and the written assignment and assumption instrument shall expressly so provide.

ARTICLE 10.

BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

10.1 Broker. Upon the Closing, and only in the event the Closing occurs, Seller shall pay a brokerage commission to CB Richard Ellis, Inc. (“Broker”) pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Broker. Broker is representing Seller in this transaction. Broker has joined in the execution of this Agreement for the purpose of acknowledging and agreeing that no real estate commission shall be earned by it or due it if the transaction contemplated herein does not close for any reason whatsoever. Broker acknowledges and agrees that it shall look solely to Seller, and not to Purchaser, for the payment of such commission, and Broker hereby waives and releases any present or future claims against Purchaser for the payment of such commission. In addition, Broker (upon receipt of its brokerage commission) agrees to execute and deliver to Seller and Purchaser at the Closing a release and waiver of any claim Broker may have against Purchaser or the Property. Broker shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Purchaser and Seller harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and costs of litigation, Purchaser or Seller shall ever suffer or incur because of any claim by any agent, salesman, or broker, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with regard to this Agreement or the sale and purchase of the Property contemplated hereby, and arising out of any acts or agreements of Broker. Seller shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and costs of litigation, Purchaser shall ever suffer or incur because of any claim by any agent, salesman, or broker, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with regard to this Agreement or the sale and purchase of the Property contemplated hereby, and arising out of any acts or agreements of Seller, including any claim asserted by Broker.

11.10 General Provisions. No failure of either party to exercise any power given hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance with any obligation specified herein, and no custom or practice at variance with the terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of either party’s right to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto, and no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, oral or otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein shall be of any force or effect. Any amendment to this Agreement shall not be binding upon Seller or Purchaser unless such amendment is in writing and executed by both Seller and Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1 hereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns. Time is of the essence in this Agreement. The headings inserted at the beginning of each Section are for convenience only, and do not add to or subtract from the meaning of the contents of each Section. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Except as otherwise provided herein, all rights, powers, and privileges conferred hereunder upon the parties shall be cumulative but not restrictive to those given by law. All personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether used in the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall include all genders, and all references herein to the singular shall include the plural and vice versa.

11.11 Attorney’s Fees.

11.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same original.

11.13 Further Assurances. Purchaser and Seller each agree to execute and deliver such other documents and instruments (including, without limitation, additional escrow instructions in conformity with this Agreement), and to take such other actions as may reasonably be required and which may be necessary to consummate this transaction and to otherwise effectuate the agreements of the parties hereto; provided that such additional documents, instruments or actions do not impose upon the parties any obligations, duties, liabilities or responsibilities which are not expressly provided for in this Agreement.

11.14 Tax Deferred Exchange. In the event that Seller wishes to enter into a tax-deferred exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“1031 Exchange”) for the Property, or Purchaser wishes to enter into a 1031 Exchange with respect to property owned by Purchaser in connection with this transaction, each of the parties agrees to cooperate with the other party in connection with such exchange, including the execution of such documents as may be reasonably

 

35

It is understood that a party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement may be assigned to a third party intermediary to facilitate the exchange. Each party hereby agrees to save, protect, defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless from any and all losses, costs, claims, liabilities, penalties and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, fees of accountants and other experts, and costs of any judicial or administrative proceeding or alternative dispute resolution to which the other may be exposed, due to any attempt to structure the transaction as a 1031 Exchange.

ARTICLE 12.

INDEMNIFICATION

12.1 Indemnification by Seller. Following the Closing and subject to Sections 12.3 and 12.4, Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser, its affiliates, members and partners, and the partners, shareholders, members, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, “Purchaser-Related Entities”) harmless from and against any and all costs, fees, expenses, damages, deficiencies, interest and penalties (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by any such indemnified party in connection with any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (“Losses”), arising out of, or in any way relating to, (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document, and (b) any breach of any covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement which survives the Closing or in any Closing Document.

12.2 Indemnification by Purchaser. Following the Closing and subject to Sections 12.3 and 12.4, Purchaser (and Purchaser’s assignees to whom any rights of Purchaser are assigned pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof) shall indemnify and hold Seller, its affiliates, and partners, and the partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, “Seller-Related Entities”) harmless from any and all Losses arising out of, or in any way relating to, (a) any breach of any representation or warranty by Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document, and (b) any breach of any covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement which survives the Closing or in any Closing Documents.

12.3 Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 12.1, (a) Seller shall not be required to indemnify Purchaser or any Purchaser-Related Entities under this Agreement unless the aggregate of all amounts for which an indemnity would otherwise be payable by Seller under Section 12.1 above exceeds the Basket Limitation and, in

 

36


such event, Seller shall be responsible for the entire amount including all amounts representing the Basket Limitation, (b) in no event shall the liability of Seller with respect to the indemnification provided for in Section 12.1 above exceed in the aggregate the Cap Limitation, (c) if prior to the Closing, Purchaser obtains knowledge of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement (a “Purchaser-Waived Breach”) and nonetheless proceeds with and consummates the Closing, then Purchaser and any Purchaser-Related Entities shall be deemed to have waived and forever renounced any right to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article 12 for, or any other claim or cause of action under this Agreement, at law or in equity on account of any such Purchaser-Waived Breach, and (d) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Basket Limitation and the Cap Limitation shall not apply with respect to Losses suffered or incurred as a result of breaches of any covenant or agreement of Seller set forth in Section 5.3, Section 5.4, Section 8.2 or Section 10.1 of this Agreement, but subject, however to any applicable limitations set forth in such Sections of this Agreement.

12.4 Survival. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement and the Closing Documents shall survive until the date which is three hundred sixty five (365) days after the Closing, unless a longer survival period is expressly provided for in this Agreement, or unless prior to the date which is three hundred sixty five (365) days after the Closing, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, delivers written notice to the other party of such alleged breach specifying with reasonable detail the nature of such alleged breach and files an action with respect thereto within sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice.

12.5 Indemnification as Sole Remedy. If the Closing has occurred, the sole and exclusive remedy available to a party in the event of a breach by the other party to this Agreement of any representation, warranty, or covenant or other provision of this Agreement or any Closing Document which survives the Closing shall be the indemnifications provided for under Section 3.1(c), Section 3.3(b), Section 10.1, and this Article 12.

12.6 Zoning and other Ordinances. Based solely on that certain Zoning Certification Letter dated October 9, 2006 from the Township of North Fayette, Seller warrants that: the Property has the following Zoning Classification B-2 General Business Zoning District; the present use is in compliance with that Zoning Classification; and there exists no notice of any uncorrected violations of ordinances presently applicable to the Property in its current undeveloped condition.

12.7 Sewage. The Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act of January 24, 1966, No. 537 P.L. 1535, as amended, requires that there be a statement regarding the availability of a community sewage system. A community sewage system is available to service the Property.

FORM OF ESCROW AGREEMENT

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), made and entered into this day of July, 2010, by and among MATTESON REAL ESTATE EQUITIES, INC, a California corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Purchaser”), WELLS VAF – 3000 PARK LANE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as “Seller”), and CHICAGO TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY (hereinafter referred to as “Escrow Agent”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller have entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement fully executed July 20, 2010 (hereinafter referred to as the “Contract”. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein, shall have the meanings set forth in the Contract; and

WHEREAS, Section 2.3(a) of said Contract provides for Purchaser’s payment to Escrow Agent, within two (2) days following the Effective Date of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) as Initial Earnest Money (as defined in the Contract) to be held and applied by said Escrow Agent in accordance with this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to set forth the terms and conditions of Escrow Agent’s holding, investment and disbursement of the Escrow Funds (as hereinafter defined).

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the agreements set forth in the Contract and the mutual covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Upon receipt, Escrow Agent shall acknowledge receipt of a check or wire transfer, payable to the order of Escrow Agent, in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) as the Initial Earnest Money. Said Initial Earnest Money, together with any Additional Earnest Money and any Extension Earnest Money actually deposited by Purchaser with Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Contract, all interest and other income earned on the Initial Earnest Money, the Additional Earnest Money any Extension Earnest Money and interest thereon being herein referred to as the “Escrow Funds”. Escrow Agent hereby agrees to hold, administer, and disburse the Escrow Funds pursuant to this Agreement and the Contract.

Exhibit “D-1”


 

2. At such time as Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser or Seller, or both, setting forth the identity of the party to whom such Escrow Funds (or portions thereof) are to be disbursed and further setting forth the specific section or paragraph of the Contract pursuant to which the disbursement of such Escrow Funds (or portions thereof) is being requested, Escrow Agent shall disburse such Escrow Funds pursuant to such notice; provided, however, that if such notice is given by either Purchaser or Seller but not both, Escrow Agent shall (i) promptly notify the other party (either Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be) that Escrow Agent has received a request for disbursement, and (ii) withhold disbursement of such Escrow Funds for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of such notice of disbursement and if Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser or Seller within said ten (10) day period which notice countermands the earlier notice of disbursement, then Escrow Agent shall withhold such disbursement until both Purchaser and Seller can agree upon a disbursement of such Escrow Funds. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree to send to the other, pursuant to Paragraph 6 below, a duplicate copy of any written notice sent to Escrow Agent and requesting any such disbursement or countermanding a request for disbursement.

3. In performing any of its duties hereunder, Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability to anyone for any damages, losses, or expenses, except for willful default, negligence, fraud or breach of trust, and it shall accordingly not incur any such liability with respect to (i) any action taken or omitted in good faith upon advice of its legal counsel given with respect to any questions relating to the duties and responsibilities of Escrow Agent under this Agreement, or (ii) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including any written notice or instruction provided for in this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons, and to conform with the provisions of this Agreement.

4. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 2 above, in the event of a dispute between Purchaser and Seller sufficient in the reasonable discretion of Escrow Agent to justify its doing so or in the event that Escrow Agent has not disbursed the Escrow Funds on or before the date which is six (6) months from the date hereof, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to tender the Escrow Funds into the registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction, together with such legal pleadings as it may deem appropriate, and thereupon be discharged from all further duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any such legal action may be brought in such court as Escrow Agent shall determine to have jurisdiction thereof.

5. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree to indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable costs of investigation and legal counsel fees, which may be imposed upon Escrow Agent or incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, including, without limitation, any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving the subject matter hereof, unless caused by the willful default, negligence, fraud or breach of trust by Escrow Agent.
