3.2. Liquidated Damages. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE CLOSING OF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY TO BUYER, ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, IS MATERIAL TO SELLER. BUYER ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGES WILL BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IF SUCH TRANSACTION IS NOT CONSUMMATED DUE TO BUYER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

IN LIGHT OF THE FOREGOING AND ALL OF THE OTHER FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THIS TRANSACTION, AND FOLLOWING NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE PARTIES, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WOULD SUFFER BY REASON OF BUYER’S DEFAULT HEREUNDER. ACCORDINGLY, BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY AGREE THAT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH DEFAULT BY BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY GIVING NOTICE TO BUYER AND TITLE COMPANY. IN THE EVENT OF SUCH TERMINATION, SELLER SHALL RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER CLAIM SELLER MAY HAVE AT LAW OR IN EQUITY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE) ARISING BY REASON OF BUYER’S DEFAULT. THE PARTIES HAVE INITIALED THIS SECTION 3.2 TO ESTABLISH THEIR INTENT SO TO LIQUIDATE DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 3.2 SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT BUYER’S OBLIGATION TO PERFORM THE “CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS” AS DEFINED IN SECTION 4.6 BELOW.

Buyer’s failure to give any notice with respect to a condition shall be conclusively deemed to mean that such condition is not satisfied; however, the Closing shall constitute approval by Buyer of all matters to which Buyer has a right of approval and a waiver of all conditions precedent. If Buyer notifies Seller in writing, on or before the date for satisfaction of such condition, that any condition in Subsections 4.1.1 through 4.1.7 is unsatisfied, or if any condition in Subsections 4.1.1 through 4.1.7 is deemed unsatisfied, then, at the option of Buyer, this Agreement shall terminate upon written notice to Seller, and: (a) the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer; (b) neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any further obligations under this Agreement, except for those obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Buyer’s obligation to perform the Continuing Obligations (as defined in Section 4.6 below)); and (c) Seller shall have the right to sell the Property in accordance with the provisions of Section 36.4 of the Zynga Lease; provided, however, in the event this Agreement is terminated as a result of a material default by Seller hereunder, Buyer shall also have all of the rights and remedies available to Buyer under Subsection 13.2.2 below.

The foregoing exceptions to title are referred to collectively as the “Conditions of Title”.

6.2. Title Policy. Conclusive evidence of delivery of title in accordance with the foregoing shall be the willingness of Title Company to issue or commit to issue to Buyer, upon payment of its regularly scheduled premium, its ALTA extended owner’s policy of title insurance, in the amount of the Purchase Price, showing title to the Real Property vested of record in Buyer, subject only to the Conditions of Title (and the standard printed exceptions and conditions in the policy of title insurance) (the “Title Policy”). If Seller for any reason is unable to deliver title to the Real Property subject only to the Conditions of Title or is unwilling to remove or otherwise cure any title matter that is not a Condition to Title (other than the Existing Monetary Encumbrances), then Buyer’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement within

 

-11-


five (5) days after written notice from Seller of such inability or unwillingness (but not later than the Closing Date) and receive a return of the Deposit, and neither Seller nor Buyer shall thereafter have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Buyer’s obligation to perform the Continuing Obligations). Buyer shall have no right to commence any action for damages, specific performance or other relief as a result of Seller’s inability to deliver title to the Real Property subject only to the Conditions of Title or Seller’s unwillingness to remove or otherwise cure any title matter that is not a Condition to Title; provided, however, that Buyer shall have the right to commence an action for specific performance against Seller if: (i) at Closing Seller fails to remove from title the Existing Monetary Encumbrances; or (ii) Seller fails to remove from title any exceptions created by Seller on or after the date of Buyer’s Title Report (i.e., February 6, 2012) without the prior written consent of Buyer (other than new Leases signed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). Buyer acknowledges receipt from Seller of Seller’s Existing Survey for the Property. Any other survey (or update to Seller’s Existing Survey) necessary for the issuance of an ALTA title policy shall be obtained by Buyer at Buyer’s expense.

6.3. Endorsements/Affidavits. It is understood that Buyer may request a number of endorsements to the Title Policy. Buyer shall satisfy itself prior to the Closing Date that the Title Company will be willing to issue such endorsements in connection with the Title Policy at Closing. However, the issuance of such endorsements shall not be a condition to Closing and in no event shall Seller be obligated to provide any indemnity or other document in order to issue the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Closing Seller shall deliver to Title Company an owner’s affidavit in form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit J, intended to allow Title Company to issue the Title Policy.

7. DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OR TAKING; CONTINUED OPERATION.

7.1. Damage and Destruction. If at any time prior to the Closing, Seller determines that the Property has been destroyed or damaged by earthquake, flood or other casualty and that such damage will require more than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) to repair (a “Casualty”), or if a proceeding is instituted for the taking of all or any material portion of the Property under the power of eminent domain (a “Taking”), then Buyer shall have the right by giving written notice to Seller and Title Company within ten (10) business days after the date of receipt of prior written notice from Seller of any such Casualty or Taking, either to: (a) consummate the purchase of the Property in accordance with this Agreement; or (b) terminate this Agreement effective as of the date such notice of termination is given. If Buyer fails to give such notice within such ten (10) business day period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Article 7. The Closing Date shall be deferred, if necessary, to permit Buyer to have the ten (10) business day period following receipt of written notice from Seller of a Casualty or a Taking or such additional time as may reasonably necessary to allow Buyer to accurately assess the length of time needed to repair the Property in order for Buyer to make the election specified hereinabove. If Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Article 7, then the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any further obligations under this Agreement, except for those obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Buyer’s obligation to perform the Continuing Obligations). If Buyer elects to consummate the purchase of the

 

-12-


Property in accordance with this Agreement, then upon the Closing, there shall be a credit against the Purchase Price due hereunder due hereunder (“C/C Credit”) equal to: (i) the amount of any insurance proceeds (excepting therefrom rental loss insurance proceeds allocable to the period prior to Closing) or condemnation awards actually collected by and paid to Seller as a result of any such damage or destruction or condemnation, less any sums expended by Seller toward the restoration or repair of the Property, plus (ii) any deductible of Seller (except any earthquake deductible) incurred with respect to such damage or destruction. If the proceeds or awards have not been collected as of the Closing, or the restoration or repairs have not been completed by Seller, then such proceeds or awards shall be assigned to Buyer, except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums expended to repair or restore the Property. Buyer shall be bound to purchase the Property for the full Purchase Price in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, without regard to the occurrence or effect of any damage to the Property or destruction of any improvements thereon or condemnation of any portion of the Property, provided that: (a) the cost to repair any such damage or destruction, or the diminution in the value of the remaining Property as a result of a partial condemnation, does not exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), and the amount of insurance proceeds available to Seller, when added to the amount of Seller’s deductible, is sufficient to cover the cost to restore the damage to or destruction of the applicable improvements; and (b) upon the Closing, there shall be a credit against the Purchase Price due hereunder equal to the C/C Credit; provide further, however, if the facts described in the foregoing item (a) are not satisfied, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 7.1. Nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute an obligation on the part of Seller to carry or maintain any insurance of any kind whatsoever pertaining to the Property.

7.2. Operation of Property.

7.2.1. General Operation. During the period between the Effective Date of this Agreement and the earlier to occur of (a) the Closing Date, or (b) the termination of this Agreement, Seller (including Townsend Member and Townsend Systems) shall generally operate the Property (including, without limitation, the Membership Interests) in the same manner in which Seller operated the Property before the date of this Agreement (such operation obligations not including capital expenditures or expenditures not incurred in the normal course of business), and keep Buyer generally apprised of any material discussions or correspondence between Seller (including Townsend Member and Townsend Systems) and any existing or prospective tenants of the Property and any applicable governmental or regulatory authorities. After the Effective Date, Seller (including Townsend Member and Townsend Systems) shall not make any material physical change to the Property (including, without limitation, the Membership Interests) except for tenant improvements per approved Leases and as may be required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any equipment breaks after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing hereunder or earlier termination of this Agreement and if such equipment is required under any applicable Lease to be replaced or repaired by Seller (or Townsend Member or Townsend Systems), then the following shall be applicable: (i) Seller shall promptly and reasonably estimate the cost of such repairs or replacements and shall promptly advise Buyer in writing (the “Repair Notice”) of the nature of such repairs or replacements and the estimated cost or repair or replacement (the “Repair Estimate”); (ii) if Seller does not cause such repairs or replacements to be completed before Closing (it being agreed that Seller has no

 

-13-


obligation to cause such repair or replacement), then Seller shall assign to Buyer at Closing all insurance proceeds and warranties pertinent to such repairs or replacements; (iii) if the Repair Estimate exceeds $1,000,000, and if Seller does not elect to provide to Buyer at Closing a credit in an amount equal to the Repair Estimate, then for a period of five (5) days following delivery of the Repair Notice Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 above; and (iv) if the Repair Estimate is equal to or less than $1,000,000, then Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement and Seller shall have no obligation to cause the repair or replacement of such equipment.

7.2.2. Leases. On or after the Effective Date, Seller shall not terminate or amend any Leases or enter into any new Lease affecting any of the Property without first obtaining Buyer’s approval in Buyer’s sole discretion. If Buyer fails to give Seller notice of its approval or disapproval of any such proposed action within five (5) business days after Seller notifies Buyer of Seller’s desire to take such action, then Buyer shall be deemed to have given its approval.

7.2.3. Contracts. On or after the Effective Date, Seller (including Townsend Member and Townsend Systems) shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, without obtaining Buyer’s consent, to terminate or amend any Contracts or enter into any new Contract affecting any of the Property (including, without limitation, the Membership Interests); provided, however, that: (A) Seller shall promptly deliver written notice of any such action to Buyer, along with a copy of any instrument(s) related to such action; (B) Seller shall be solely liable for any new obligations created by any such termination or amendment of existing Contracts or by the execution of any new Contracts; and (C) Buyer shall receive an appropriate credit against the Purchase Price at Closing for any and all unpaid monetary obligations arising on or after the Closing Date which are attributable to any Contract executed by Seller on or after the Effective Date. (As used in this Agreement, “Contracts” means, collectively: (a) the contracts listed in the Schedule of Contracts, (b) contracts that are cancelable on thirty (30) days’ or less notice, and (c) contracts (other than Leases) entered into on or after the Effective Date in accordance with this Agreement.)

7.2.4. Outstanding Lease and Construction Obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Closing occurs, then:

(a) Seller shall be responsible for all unpaid tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions (collectively, the “Lease Costs”) payable by Seller for the initial term (or pursuant to any expansion or extension options that have been exercised by any tenant before the Effective Date) of any Leases (including the Zynga Lease) executed by Seller on or before the Effective Date, and Buyer shall receive an appropriate credit against the Purchase Price at Closing for any and all such unpaid Lease Costs arising on or after the Closing Date which are attributable to the initial term (or to any expansion or extension options that have been exercised by any tenant before the Effective Date) of any Lease executed by Seller on or before the Effective Date.

(b) Buyer shall be responsible for all Lease Costs with respect to any lease executed by Seller after the Effective Date in compliance with Subsection 7.2.2.

 

-14-


(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any contractors’, architects’, engineers’, space planners’ or similar contract has been entered into by Seller in connection with the performance of any of Seller’s obligations under Subsection 7.2.4(a) above and such contract has not been fully performed or paid by the Closing Date, then Buyer shall assume all of Seller’s obligations under such contract arising on or after the Closing Date to the extent that Buyer has received an appropriate credit against the Purchase Price at Closing for the costs not paid by Seller under such contract as of the Closing Date (except that Buyer shall not receive a credit for any costs that remain, as of the Closing Date, the obligation of a tenant under a Lease at the Property).

7.2.5. Title. Seller shall not cause or suffer any adverse change to the condition of title of the Property, including without limitation, any monetary liens (unless removed prior to Closing).

8.3. New Information. The preceding notwithstanding, Seller shall promptly advise Buyer if Seller acquires any information following the Effective Date which would make any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 8.2 above materially untrue; provided that

 

-17-


it shall not be a breach of such representation or warranty if the new information which renders the representation or warranty materially untrue was not known as of the Effective Date. If Seller or Buyer acquires any new information following the Effective Date which would make any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 8.2 above materially untrue, then, as Buyer’s sole remedy, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Seller and, in the event of such termination, all rights and obligations under this Agreement (except those that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, including the Continuing Obligations) shall cease and the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer; provided, however, if the new information causing any representation or warranty set forth in Section 8.2 above to be materially untrue is caused by an act(s) or omission(s) of Buyer or any of the agents, employees, contractors or other representatives of Buyer, then Buyer shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement or receive the return of Buyer’s Deposit as provided in this Section. If, prior to the Closing hereunder, Buyer becomes aware of any facts that make any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 8.2 above materially untrue, but Buyer nevertheless elects to close Escrow hereunder, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any claim against Seller based on such representation or warranty that Buyer knew was materially untrue as of the Closing. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the Closing.

9. SELLER’S DISCLAIMER; RELEASE AND INDEMNIFICATION OF SELLER.

9.1. Seller’s Disclaimer. Except for the representations and warranties by Seller set forth in Section 8.2, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the sale of the Property to Buyer is made without any warranty or representation of any kind by Seller, either express or implied, with respect to any aspect, portion or component of the Property, including: (i) the physical condition, nature or quality of the Property, including the quality of the soils on and under the Property and the quality of the labor and materials included in any buildings or other improvements, fixtures, equipment or personal property comprising a portion of the Property; (ii) the fitness of the Property for any particular purpose; (iii) the presence or suspected presence of hazardous materials on, in, under or about the Property (including the soils and groundwater on and under the Property); or (iv) existing or proposed governmental laws or regulations applicable to the Property, or the further development or change in use thereof, including environmental laws and laws or regulations dealing with zoning or land use. Buyer further agrees and acknowledges that, as of the Closing, Buyer shall have made such feasibility studies, investigations, environmental studies, engineering studies, inquiries of governmental officials, and all other inquiries and investigations, which Buyer shall deem necessary to satisfy itself as to the condition, nature and quality of the Property and as to the suitability of the Property for Buyer’s purposes. Buyer further agrees and acknowledges that, in purchasing the Property, Buyer shall rely entirely on its own investigation, examination and inspection of the Property and its analysis and evaluation of the property documents furnished by Seller to Buyer and not upon any representation or warranty of Seller, or any agent or representative of Seller that is not set forth in Section 8.2. THEREFORE, BUYER AGREES THAT, IN CONSUMMATING THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER SHALL ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY IN ITS THEN CONDITION, “AS IS, WHERE IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS, AND, SUBJECT TO SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN SECTION 8.2, SOLELY IN RELIANCE ON BUYER’S OWN INVESTIGATION, EXAMINATION, INSPECTION, ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF

 

-18-


THE PROPERTY. The agreements and acknowledgments contained in this Section 9.1 constitute a conclusive admission that Buyer, as a sophisticated, knowledgeable investor in real property, shall acquire the Property solely upon its own judgment as to any matter germane to the Property or to Buyer’s contemplated use of the Property, and not upon any statement, representation or warranty by Seller, or any agent or representative of Seller, which is not expressly set forth in this Agreement. At the Closing, upon the request of Seller, Buyer shall execute and deliver to Seller a certificate of Buyer reaffirming the foregoing.

9.2. Buyer’s Release of Seller. Buyer hereby waives, releases and forever discharges Seller and its officers, directors, employees and agents from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, demands, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses or compensation whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, which Buyer may have at the Closing or which may arise in the future on account of or in any way arising out of or connected with the Property, including: (i) the physical condition, nature or quality of the Property (including the soils and groundwater on and under the Real Property); (ii) the presence or release in, under, on or about the Property (including the soils and groundwater on and under the Real Property) of any hazardous materials; and (iii) the ownership, management or operation of the Property. At the Closing, upon the request of Seller, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a certificate of Buyer reaffirming the foregoing. Buyer hereby waives the protection of California Civil Code Section 1542, which reads as follows:

“ A general release does not extend to claims which the

creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the

time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must

have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

Buyer’s Initials:     /s/ DW            

However, the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2 shall not serve to release Seller from any breach of the express representations and warranties set forth in Section 8.2.

9.3. Intentionally Omitted.

9.4. Flood Hazard Zone. Buyer acknowledges that if the Real Property is located in an area which the Secretary of HUD has found to have special flood hazards, then pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Program, Buyer will be required to purchase flood insurance in order to obtain any loan secured by the Real Property from any federally regulated financial institution or a loan insured or guaranteed by an agency of the United States government. Buyer shall have sole responsibility to determine whether the Real Property is located in an area which is subject to the National Flood Insurance Program.

9.5. Seller’s Environmental Inquiry. Without limiting the express representations and warranties set forth in Section 8.2, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the sole inquiry and investigation Seller has conducted in connection with the environmental condition of the Property is to obtain the environmental report or reports that Seller has provided to Buyer, and that, for purposes of California Health and Safety Code Section 25359.7, Seller has acted reasonably in solely relying upon said inquiry and investigation.

 

-19-


9.6 California Required Natural Hazard Disclosure. Seller has commissioned JCP (1 ###-###-####) to prepare the natural hazard disclosure statement in the form required by California Civil Code Section 1103. Buyer acknowledges that this transaction is not subject to that Civil Code Section, but that nevertheless the form promulgated therein serves to satisfy other statutory disclosure requirements of the Government Code and Public Resources Code.

11.4.1. Assignment and Assumption Agreements A duly executed bill of sale, assignment, and assumption agreement in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit H (the “Bill of Sale, Assignment and Assumption Agreement”) and a duly executed Membership Assignment.

11.4.2. Other Documents. Such other documents and instruments as may be reasonably required to consummate this transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

11.5. Closing Prorations. At the Closing, all items of income and expense of the Property shall be prorated as provided in this Section 11.5 on the basis of a 365-day year, actual days elapsed for the month in which the Closing occurs, as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. If there is any delinquency or unpaid rent under the Zynga Lease as of the Closing Date, then Buyer shall pay to Seller at Closing all such delinquencies and unpaid rent. Except as provided in this Section 11.5, income and expenses attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be for the account of Seller, and income and expenses attributable to the period on and after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Buyer. Property taxes and assessments, and all other items of income and expense related to the Property shall be prorated through Escrow on the Closing Date by the parties. Percentage rents payable under the Leases with respect to periods on or before the Closing Date shall be paid by Buyer to Seller within five (5) business days of receipt. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following items shall be prorated through Escrow as described above:

(a) Base Rent. Rent and other charges under the Leases (to the extent such monies have actually been collected by Seller) shall be for the account of Seller for the period through the day before the Closing, except that Additional Rents (as defined below) shall be prorated in accordance with Section 11.5 (b) below. Rent and other charges under the Leases that are delinquent as of the Closing shall not be prorated, and rents and other amounts received by Buyer within twelve (12) months following the Closing from any tenant owing such delinquent rent or other charges shall be applied (i) first, to Buyer’s actual out-of-pocket costs of collection incurred with respect to such tenant; (ii) second, to rents due from such tenant for the month in which such payment is received by Buyer; (iii) third, to rents attributable to any period after the Closing which are past due on the date of receipt; (iv) fourth, to rents and other charges delinquent as of the Closing (and Buyer promptly shall remit such amounts to Seller); and (v)

 

-22-


finally, the remainder, if any, shall be retained by Buyer. Buyer agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any such delinquent rents (provided, however, that Buyer shall have no obligation to institute legal proceedings, including an action for unlawful detainer, against a tenant owing delinquent rents). After such twelve (12) month period mentioned above, all rents received by Buyer shall be retained by Buyer and Seller shall have no interest in the same. Seller may pursue collection of any rents that were past due as of the Closing, provided Seller shall have no right to terminate any Lease or any tenant’s occupancy under such applicable Lease in connection therewith. Seller agrees to deliver to Buyer any rents received by Seller for the period from and after the Closing Date.

(b) Additional Rents.

(i) Any percentage rent, escalation rent, charges for real estate taxes, operating and maintenance expenses, pass-throughs for roof, parking area and other capital asset replacements (including amortization payments), escalation rents or charges, electricity charges, cost of living increases or any other charges of a similar nature other than fixed or base rent under the Leases (collectively, the “Additional Rents”) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date between Buyer and Seller, with final adjusted proration payments to be made on or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date.

(ii) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer on an estimated basis with information regarding Additional Rents which were received by Seller prior to Closing and the amount of reimbursable expenses paid by Seller prior to Closing. If Seller’s collections of such amounts of Additional Rents is in excess of the amounts actually paid by Seller for such items for the period prior to Closing, then Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for the excess amounts collected. Buyer shall apply all such excess amounts to the charges owed by Buyer for such items for the period after the Closing and, if required by the Leases, shall rebate or credit the tenants with any remainder. If it is determined that the amount collected during Seller’s ownership period was less than the amounts actually paid by Seller for such items for the period prior to the Closing, then the collection and remitting of such amounts shall be governed by the provisions of subsection (a) above regarding the post-closing application of rents. With respect to reimbursable expenses paid by Seller prior to Closing, but not billed to tenants prior to Closing, Seller will provide to Buyer all relevant information including supporting documentation and Seller’s calculation of the amount to be billed to each tenant.

(iii) On or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a reconciliation of all expenses reimbursable by tenants under the Leases, and the amount of Additional Rents received by Seller and Buyer relating thereto (the “Reconciliation”). Upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, each party shall make available to the other all information reasonably required to confirm the Reconciliation. In the event of any overpayment of Additional Rents by the tenants to Seller, Seller shall promptly, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Reconciliation, pay to Buyer the amount of such overpayment and Buyer, as the landlord under the particular Leases, shall pay or credit to each applicable tenant the amount of such overpayment. Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against any costs, damages, liabilities, losses, expenses, liens or claims (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of Seller’s Reconciliation and/or failure to reimburse tenants for any

 

-23-


overpayments by tenants as of the Closing, which obligation shall survive the Closing. Seller’s Reconciliation shall be calculated based on the expenses actually incurred by Seller for the period covered by such Reconciliation and Seller’s period of ownership of the Property. If Seller determines following such Seller’s Reconciliation, that any tenant(s) have underpaid any such Additional Rents or other operating expenses or reimbursements allocable to any period prior to the Closing, then Seller may pursue collection of such shortfall in payments, provided Seller shall have no right to terminate any Lease or any tenant’s occupancy under any Lease in connection therewith.

(c) Taxes. All current real and personal property taxes, non-delinquent bonds or improvement assessments, general and special, non-delinquent public or governmental charges or assessments affecting the Property (including current assessments, liens or encumbrances for sewer, water, drainage or other public improvements whether completed or commenced on, or prior to, the date of this Agreement). If the Closing Date occurs before the tax rate or assessment is fixed, the proration of such taxes and assessments by Title Company shall be made at the Closing based upon the most recent tax bills available. If Seller receives any refunds as a result of any tax appeals that are attributable, in whole or in part, to any time periods that comprise a “Base Year” under any former or existing Lease, then Seller shall retain such refunds to the extent attributable to such “Base Year”, and if Seller receives any refunds as a result of any pending tax appeals that are attributable to any time periods that are subsequent to a “Base Year” under any former or existing Lease, then Seller shall retain such refunds to the extent attributable to such time periods or Seller shall, to the extent required by the terms of any such former or existing Lease, pay such refund to the tenant thereunder.

(d) Water/sewer. Water and sewer charges on the basis of the fiscal year for which assessed (if these are not prorated as part of a tax bill), but if there are water meters on the Real Property, Seller, to the extent it is able, shall furnish a reading effective as of the Closing Date, or if not feasible to do so, to a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, and the unfixed meter charges based thereon for the intervening period shall be apportioned on the basis of such last reading. Upon the taking of a subsequent actual reading, such apportionment shall be readjusted and Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall promptly deliver to the other the amount determined to be due upon such readjustment. If Seller is unable to furnish such prior reading, any reading subsequent to the Closing Date shall be apportioned on a per diem basis from the date of the reading immediately prior thereto and Seller shall pay the proportionate charges due up to the Closing Date. Unpaid water meter bills that are the obligations of tenants under their respective Leases and that are billed directly to such tenants shall not be adjusted.

(e) Contracts. Amounts paid or payable in respect of the Contracts which Buyer assumes at the Closing; provided, however, any and all such amounts to be prorated under this Subsection 11.5(e) are subject to the provisions of Subsection 7.2.3 above, if applicable, regarding credits to be made to Buyer.

(f) Utilities. Electricity, gas, telephone and other utilities and HVAC costs, expenses and income, except to the extent that tenants pay such costs directly to the supplier of such services.

 

-24-


(g) Leasing Costs. Any and all Leasing Costs to be prorated under this Subsection 11.5(g) are subject to the provisions of Subsection 7.2.4 above regarding credits to be made to either or both of Buyer and Seller.

11.6. Closing Costs. Seller shall pay the following closing costs: (i) all fees and costs for releasing all encumbrances, liens and security interests of record which are not Conditions of Title. Buyer shall pay the following closing costs: (w) City and County documentary or other transfer taxes payable upon recordation of the Deed; (x) the premium for Buyer’s policy of title insurance and any endorsements Buyer requires; (y) any and all costs, fees, title insurance premiums and other charges payable in connection with any financing obtained by Buyer to acquire the Property, including all escrow fees relating to the funding and/or recordation of such financing; and (z) all escrow fees. Each party shall pay one-half of any escrow cancellation fee charged by Title Company in connection with the purchase and sale of the Property. All other closing costs shall be paid by the parties in accordance with the custom then prevailing in the City and County of San Francisco. Except as may be otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transaction described herein.

11.7. Security Deposits. With respect to all Leases which are in effect at the Closing, Seller shall give Buyer at the Closing, through Escrow, a credit in the amount of all cash security deposits and other cash deposits (including any prepaid rent) then held by Seller under such leases.

11.8. Possession. Subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases, Seller shall deliver exclusive possession of the Property to Buyer at the Closing.

11.9. Closing Procedure. Upon receipt of the funds and instruments described in this Article 11 and written notice to proceed from Buyer and Seller, Title Company shall close Escrow when it is in a position to: (i) pay to Seller, in immediately available funds, the amount of the Purchase Price, as such amount may be increased or decreased as a result of the allocation of the closing costs and prorations as specified in Sections 11.5 and 11.6 and Seller’s obligations with respect to security deposits as specified in Section 11.7; and (ii) issue to Buyer the policy of title insurance referred to in Article 6. The Title Company shall record the Deed, and record all other documents, including deeds of reconveyance, necessary for title to the Property to be conveyed to Buyer subject only to the Conditions of Title referred to in Section 6.1 above. The Title Company is instructed to date all undated documents delivered into escrow the date the Close of Escrow occurs.

11.10. Escrow. Upon mutual execution of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller shall deposit an executed counterpart of this Agreement with the Title Company and this Agreement shall serve as instructions to the Title Company for consummation of the purchase and sale contemplated hereby. Seller and Buyer shall execute such supplemental escrow instructions as may be appropriate to enable Title Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement, provided such supplemental escrow instructions are not in conflict with this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any supplementary escrow instructions signed by Buyer and Seller, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

Title Company shall hold Buyer, Seller and their counsel free and harmless from and against any and all liability, claims, demands, damages and costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees and other litigation expenses, arising or resulting from the failure or refusal of Title Company to comply with such reporting requirements.

12. BROKERS. Seller and Buyer each warrant and represent to the other that no person, firm or entity other than Jones Lang LaSalle Americas Inc.

Seller shall pay all commissions and fees owing to Seller’s Broker as a result of the sale of the Property pursuant to a separate written agreement. Seller hereby discloses to Buyer that an affiliate of Seller, TMG Partners, is a licensed California real estate broker. To the extent that any commission or finder’s or other similar fee as a result of a sale of the Property is owed to Colliers International based upon contacts with Buyer, then Buyer shall be responsible to pay all amounts owing to Colliers International.

13. BUYER’S AND SELLER’S DEFAULT.

13.1. Buyer’s Default.

13.1.1. Default. Buyer shall be deemed to be in default under this Agreement if Buyer fails, for a reason other than Seller’s default hereunder or the failure of a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to perform hereunder, to meet, comply with or perform any covenant, agreement or obligation on Buyer’s part required within the time limits and in the manner required in this Agreement, or there shall have occurred a material breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer; provided, however, no such default shall be deemed to have occurred unless and until Seller has given Buyer written notice thereof, describing the nature of the default, and Buyer has failed to cure such default within ten (10) days of the receipt of such notice (but in any event before the Closing Date, unless such default occurs after Closing).

13.1.2. Liquidated Damages. If Buyer defaults in the obligation to purchase the Property, Seller shall be entitled to retain the Deposit made by Buyer hereunder as liquidated damages pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement.

 

-26-


13.2. Seller’s Default.

13.2.1. Default. Seller shall be deemed to be in default under this Agreement if Seller fails, for a reason other than Buyer’s default hereunder or the failure of a condition precedent to Seller’s obligation to perform hereunder, to meet, comply with, or perform any covenant, agreement or obligation on its part required within the time limits and in the manner required in the Agreement, or there shall have occurred a material breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller, provided, however, no such default shall be deemed to have occurred unless and until Buyer has given Seller written notice thereof, describing the nature of the default, and Seller has failed to cure such default within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice (but in any event before the Closing Date, unless such default occurs after Closing).

13.2.2. Remedies Before Closing. If Seller shall be deemed in default under Section 13.2.1 at or before Closing, and Buyer does not waive such default, Buyer may pursue one of the following remedies, each of which shall be Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy:

(a) Institute and prosecute an action to compel specific performance of this Agreement against Seller, in which case Buyer shall have no claim for damages or any other remedy against Seller; provided, however, if Buyer fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the City and County of San Francisco on or before the date thirty (30) days following the date upon which the Closing hereunder was to have occurred, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive back the return of its Deposit as provided in Section 13.2.2(b) below. Buyer shall only be entitled to bring a specific performance action against Seller if Seller breaches its obligation to convey the Property to Buyer when and as required pursuant to this Agreement. Seller expressly authorizes the offset of any attorneys’ fees awarded to Buyer as the prevailing party in any specific performance action against the Purchase Price to consummate any specific performance judgment.

(b) Terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Seller on or before the Closing Date and, in the event of such termination, Buyer shall be entitled, as Buyer’s sole remedy, to the prompt return of the Deposit made by Buyer hereunder, plus its out of pocket costs, not to exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), incurred in connection with this Agreement and Buyer’s due diligence and financing efforts.

All other claims of Buyer against Seller (other than post-closing covenants) shall be deemed waived to the extent provided in Section 9.2 above.

 

-27-


13.2.4. Termination Procedure. Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 13.2, the Deposit made by Buyer hereunder shall be promptly returned to Buyer. Seller shall be responsible for all cancellation charges and escrow charges required to be paid to the Title Company.

CERTIFICATION OF NON FOREIGN STATUS

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee (buyer) of a U. S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor (seller) is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445), 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 (buyer) that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by ***, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Seller:

1. Seller is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations). Seller is not a “disregarded entity” (as such term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations).

2. Seller’s U. S. employer identification number is                     .

3. Seller’s office address is:

    c/o TMG Partners

    100 Bush Street, 26th floor

    San Francisco, CA 94104

4. Transferor/seller is not a disregarded entity as defined in Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii).

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

Under penalties of perjury, the undersigned declares that he has examined this certification and to the best of his knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete, and he further declares that he has the authority to sign this document on behalf of Seller.
