ARTICLE VII

 

RISK OF LOSS

 

7.1. Minor Damage. In the event of loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof which is not “major” (as hereinafter defined), this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect provided Seller performs any necessary repairs or, at Seller’s option, assigns to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to the proceeds Seller actually receives with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use all reasonable and diligent efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. If Seller elects to assign its insurance proceeds to Purchaser, such right to assign being subject to Seller actually receiving proceeds from its insurance claim, the date of Closing shall be extended to allow for Seller to obtain such proceeds and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Purchaser.

 

7.2. Major Damage. In the event of a “major” loss or damage, either Seller or Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser. If neither Seller nor Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) business days after Seller sends Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of major loss or damage, then Seller and

 

13


Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with Closing, in which event Seller shall, at Seller’s option, either (a) perform any necessary repairs, or (b) assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to the proceeds actually received by Seller with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use all reasonable and diligent efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. If Seller elects to assign the proceeds actually received from a casualty claim to Purchaser, the date of Closing shall be extended to allow for Seller to obtain such proceeds and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy. For the avoidance of doubt, subpart (b) of this Section 7.2 shall apply only in the event Seller’s insurance provides coverage for the involved casualty and Seller actually receives proceeds in settlement of its casualty claim under its insurance policy. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Purchaser.

 

7.3. Definition of “Major” Loss or Damage. For purposes of Sections 7.1 and 7.2, “major” loss or damage refers to the following: (a) loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof such that Purchaser, as the tenant under the Lease, has the right terminate the Lease pursuant to Section 9(b) or Section 9(c) of the Lease, and (b) any loss due to a condemnation which permanently and materially impairs the current use of the Property.

DISCLAIMERS AND WAIVERS

 

9.1. No Reliance on Documents. Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of any materials, data or information delivered by Seller to Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that all materials, data and information delivered by Seller to Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby are provided to Purchaser as a convenience only and that any reliance on or use of such materials, data or information by Purchaser shall be at the sole risk of Purchaser, except as otherwise expressly stated herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (a) any environmental or other report with respect to the Property which is delivered by Seller to Purchaser (excluding any report that was commissioned by Purchaser) shall be for general informational purposes only, (b) Purchaser shall not have any right to rely on any such report delivered by Seller to Purchaser, but rather will rely on its own inspections and investigations of the Property and any reports commissioned by Purchaser with respect thereto, and (c) neither Seller, any affiliate of Seller nor the person or entity which prepared any such report delivered by Seller to Purchaser shall have any liability to Purchaser for any inaccuracy in or omission from any such report.

 

9.2. Disclaimers. It is understood and agreed that Seller is not making and has not at any time made any warranties or representations of any kind or character, expressed or implied, with respect to the Property, including, but not limited to, any warranties or representations as to habitability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title (other than Seller’s limited warranty of title to be set forth in the Deed), zoning, tax consequences, latent or patent physical or environmental condition, utilities, operating history or projections, valuation, governmental approvals, the compliance of the Property with governmental laws, the truth, accuracy or completeness of any documents related to the Property or any other information provided by or on behalf of Seller to Purchaser, or any other matter or thing regarding the Property. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that upon Closing Seller shall sell and convey to Purchaser and Purchaser shall accept the Property “as is, where is, with all faults”. Purchaser has not relied and will not rely on, and Seller is not liable for or bound by, any expressed or implied warranties, guaranties, statements, representations or information pertaining to the Property or relating thereto (including specifically, without limitation, any property information packages distributed with respect to the Property) made or furnished by Seller, the manager of the Property, or any real estate broker or agent representing or purporting to represent Seller, to whomever made or given, directly or indirectly, orally or in writing. Purchaser represents to Seller that Purchaser has conducted such investigations of the Property, including but not limited to, the physical and environmental conditions thereof, as Purchaser deems necessary to satisfy itself as to the condition of the Property and the existence or nonexistence or curative action to be taken with respect to any hazardous or toxic substances on or discharged from the Property, and will rely solely upon same and not

 

15


upon any information provided by or on behalf of Seller or its agents or employees with respect thereto. Upon Closing, Purchaser shall assume the risk that adverse matters, including but not limited to, construction defects and adverse physical and environmental conditions, may not have been revealed by Purchaser’s investigations, and Purchaser, upon Closing, shall be deemed to have waived, relinquished and released Seller (and Seller’s officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents) from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action (including causes of action in tort), losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, which Purchaser might have asserted or alleged against Seller (and Seller’s officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents) at any time by reason of or arising out of any latent or patent construction defects or physical conditions, violations of any applicable laws (including, without limitation, any environmental laws) and any and all other acts, omissions, events, circumstances or matters regarding the Property. Purchaser agrees that should any cleanup, remediation or removal of hazardous substances or other environmental conditions on the Property be required after the date of Closing, such clean-up, removal or remediation shall be the responsibility of and shall be performed at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser.

 

9.3. Effect and Survival of Disclaimers. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that the compensation to be paid to Seller for the Property takes into account that the Property is being sold subject to the provisions of this Article IX. Seller and Purchaser agree that the provisions of this Article IX shall survive Closing.

[FORM OF]

FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT

 

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445 of the Code), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by THE WELLS FUND XI – FUND XII – REIT JOINT VENTURE (“Transferor”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Transferor:

 

  1.   Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Code and Income Tax Regulations);

 

  2.   Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in §1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations;

 

  3.   Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is ###-###-####; and

 

  4.   Transferor’s office address is c/o Wells Real Estate Funds, 6200 The Corners Parkway, Suite 250, Norcross, Georgia 30092.

 

Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

 

Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct, and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.
