(f) Section 25359.7 of the California Health and Safety Code requires owners of nonresidential property who know or have reasonable cause to believe that a release of a hazardous material has come to be located on or beneath real property to provide written notice of that condition to a buyer of the real property. The only releases of the hazardous materials actually known to Seller, without duty of inquiry or investigation, are those specifically described as actual releases in the copies of Seller’s reports provided in the Due Diligence Materials. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer has been provided with an adequate opportunity to, and encouraged to, retain its own consultants and experts to conduct its own inspections and examinations of the Property and all matters relating to the Property. By its execution of this Agreement, Buyer: (i) acknowledges its receipt of the foregoing notice given pursuant to Section 25359.7 of the California Health and Safety Code and that it is aware of the benefits conferred to Buyer by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and the risks it assumes by any waiver of its benefits thereunder; and (ii) after receiving advice of its legal counsel, waives any and all rights or remedies whatsoever, express or implied, Buyer may have against Seller and/or the Seller Parties, including remedies for actual damages arising out of or resulting from any unknown, unforeseen or unanticipated presence or releases of hazardous materials from or on the Property, including, without limitation, any damages under Section 25359.7 of the California Health and Safety Code. The provisions of this subsection (f) shall survive the Closing and shall not be merged into the Grant Deed or other closing documents.

(g) Within ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Date, Seller shall cause Escrow Agent to provide Buyer with a natural hazard disclosure report prepared by the Natural Hazard Expert (as hereinafter defined below) relating to the Property, which reports are intended to disclose if the Property lies within the following natural hazard areas or zones: (i) a special flood hazard area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (California Civil Code Section 1103(c)(1)); (ii) an area of potential flooding (California Government Code Section 8589.4); (iii) a very high fire hazard severity zone (California Government Code Section 51178 et seq.); (iv) a wild land area that may contain substantial forest fire risks and hazards California Public Resources Code Section 4135; (v) earthquake fault zone (California Public Resources Code Section 2622); or (vi) a seismic hazard zone (California Public Resources Code Section 2696) (sometimes collectively, the “Natural Hazard Matters”).

The written reports prepared by the Natural Hazard Expert regarding the results of its full examinations will fully and completely discharge Seller from its disclosure obligations referred to herein, if and to the extent any such obligations exist, and, for the purpose of this Agreement: (A) the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1103.4 regarding non-liability of Seller for errors or omissions not within its personal knowledge, shall be deemed to apply; and (B) the Natural Hazard Expert shall be deemed to be an expert, dealing with matters within the scope of its expertise with respect to the examination and written report regarding the Natural Hazards Matters.

The originals (and where originals are not available or in Seller’s possession or control, copies) of all Buyer 3-14 Audit Documents shall become the property of Buyer upon Closing; provided that Seller may retain copies of any of such documents. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer in connection with any additional information or documentation Buyer may require with respect to Buyer’s 3-14 Audit, including answering Buyer’s questions regarding the Buyer’s 3-14 Audit Documents. The completion of Buyer’s 3-14 Audit shall not be a condition of Closing.

Prorations and Adjustments to Purchase Price.

(a) The following prorations and adjustments shall be made between Buyer and Seller at Closing, or thereafter if Buyer and Seller shall agree:

(i) All city, state and county real property taxes, assessments, ad valorem taxes and similar impositions levied or imposed upon or assessed against the Property set forth in the most recent tax bill (herein called the Taxes) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, with Seller being responsible for Taxes pertaining to Seller’s period of ownership of the Property and Buyer being responsible for Taxes pertaining to Buyer’s period of ownership of the Property (including the Closing Date). In the event that Seller has, prior to the Effective Date, protested or appealed, or, prior to the Closing Date, protests or appeals, the Taxes for the billing period in which Closing occurs, and such protest results in a reduction in the Taxes payable, Buyer shall, within ten (10) Business Days after Seller’s written request therefor, reimburse Seller in an amount equal to any refund for prior Taxes paid and credits against or discounts of any future tax liability Buyer receives with respect to any period of time the Property was owned by Seller. Any fees and costs actually expended by Seller Parties in connection with such protest shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller based on their respective period of ownership of the Property during the period of time to which such protest relates.

(ii) All utility charges for the Property including water, sewer, electric, gas, telephone, trash removal, garbage removal and cable or satellite television shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. Transfer fees required with respect to any such utility shall be paid by or charged to Buyer and Seller shall be credited with any deposits transferred to the account of Buyer; provided, however, that at either party’s election any one or more of such utility accounts shall be closed as of the Closing Date, in which event Seller shall be liable and responsible for all charges for service through the Closing Date and shall be entitled to all deposits theretofore made by Seller with respect to such utility, and Buyer shall be responsible for reopening and reinstituting such service in

 

- 9 -


Buyer’s name, and shall be responsible for any fees, charges and deposits required in connection with such new accounts. For any account that is not closed as of the Closing Date, if any final reading and billing cannot be obtained prior to the Closing Date, such utility expenses shall be prorated as of the Closing Date based on an estimate. Seller shall be credited with any utility deposits transferred to the account of Buyer.

(iii) All rents and other payments on account of financial obligations of tenants under the Existing Leases and the New Leases (herein collectively called “Rents”) for the month in which the Closing Date occurs, which have actually been paid as of the Closing Date, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. In the event that, at the time of Closing, there are any past due or delinquent Rents, Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts, without suit or any obligation to terminate any tenant’s lease, to collect such past due or delinquent Rents for a period of one hundred (120) days following Closing. Subsequent to Closing, all monies received by Buyer from or on behalf of any tenant owing delinquent Rents shall be applied and paid as follows: (x) such monies shall first be paid to Buyer for Rents due on and after the Closing Date, and (y) thereafter any remaining monies shall be paid to Seller for delinquent Rents due and payable for periods prior to the Closing Date.

(iv) Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of all, if any, refundable security deposits and other refundable tenant deposits held by Seller in connection with the Existing Leases and New Leases; provided, however, Buyer shall not receive a credit for any security or other tenant deposits which as of the Closing Date have been applied or expended for their intended purpose. Seller shall retain all security and other tenant deposits free and clear of any and all claims on the part of tenants and Buyer. Buyer shall be responsible for maintaining as security deposits and other deposits the aggregate amount so credited to Buyer in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and in accordance with the provisions of the Existing Leases and the New Leases relevant thereto. With respect to any security deposit which is evidenced by a letter of credit, Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, (x) deliver to Buyer at Closing such original letter of credit, and (y) execute and deliver at Closing such other instruments as the issuer of such letter of credit shall reasonably require in order to cause the named beneficiary under such letter of credit to be changed to Buyer.

(v) All amounts payable under any of the Service Agreements and other expenses of the Property (herein collectively called “Expenses”) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.

(vi) Any other items which are customarily prorated in connection with the purchase and sale of properties similar to the Project shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.

(b) It is the intent of Buyer and Seller that all Rents attributable to periods prior to the Closing Date shall accrue to the benefit of Seller, and all Rents attributable to periods including and after the Closing Date shall accrue to the benefit of Buyer, except as provided above. Furthermore, it is the intent of Buyer and Seller that all Taxes and Expenses attributable to

 

- 10 -


periods prior to the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Seller, and that all Taxes and Expenses attributable to periods including and after the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Buyer. Thus, in the event that, after Closing:

(i) Seller receives any Rents attributable to periods on and after the Closing Date, then Seller shall immediately remit such Rents to Buyer;

(ii) Buyer receives any Rents attributable to periods prior to the Closing Date, then Buyer shall immediately remit such Rents to Seller, except as provided above;

(iii) Seller receives any refunds of Taxes or Expenses attributable to periods on and after the Closing Date, then Seller shall immediately remit such refunds to Buyer; and

(iv) Buyer receives any refunds of Taxes or Expenses or credits against future taxes due attributable to periods prior to the Closing Date, then Buyer shall immediately remit such refunds to Seller.

(c) In the event that the amount of any item to be prorated is not determinable at the time of Closing, such proration shall be made on the basis of the bill from the previous billing cycle (or if there is no such bill, on the best available information), and there shall be no re-proration after Closing. In the event any prorated item is due and payable at the time of Closing, the same shall be paid at Closing. If any prorated item is not paid at Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the bills therefor promptly upon receipt thereof, and Buyer shall be responsible for the payment in full thereof within the time fixed for payment thereof and before the same shall become delinquent. In making the prorations required by this paragraph 6, the economic burdens and benefits of ownership of the Property for the Closing Date shall be allocated to Buyer.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall reconcile all Taxes and Expenses through December 31, 2017 (the “2017 TICAM Reconciliation”) and deliver the 2017 TICAM Reconciliation report to Seller together with such other information requested by Seller to enable Seller to review and confirm the 2017 TICAM Reconciliation. Upon Seller’s acceptance of the 2017 TICAM Reconciliation, if (i) the overall net result of the 2017 TICAM Reconciliation is the landlord owes a credit to the tenants (the “Tenant Refund Amount”), then Seller shall remit the Tenant Refund Amount to Buyer, or (ii) the overall net result of the 2017 TICAM Reconciliation is the tenants owe additional payments to the landlord (the “Landlord TICAM Amount”), then Buyer shall remit the Landlord TICAM Amount to Seller. The Tenant Refund Amount or Landlord TICAM Amount, as applicable shall be paid by the responsible party to the other party no later than the ninetieth (90th) day after the Closing Date.

(i) the standard or printed exclusions in the form of owner’s policy of title insurance referenced above that are not otherwise deleted by delivery of the Seller’s Affidavit, provided, however, that if Buyer pays the fees and premiums for an extended policy of title insurance providing for the removal of any such standard or preprinted exclusion then the same shall not constitute a Permitted Exception for purposes of this Agreement;

(ii) the lien for Taxes not due and payable on or before the Closing Date;

(iii) zoning ordinances affecting the Property;

(iv) the rights of parties in possession under Existing Leases or New Leases, as tenants only without any right or option to purchase all or any portion of the Property that has not been waived in connection with the sale contemplated under this Agreement;

(v) all matters listed on Exhibit “E” attached hereto, unless Seller agrees to cure or remove such matter in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 7(c) below, in which event such matter shall not be a Permitted Exception for purposes of this Agreement;

(vi) all matters, if any, waived or deemed to  have been waived by Buyer pursuant to this paragraph 7;

(vii) all matters arising under, or created by, Buyer; and

(viii) all matters that are disclosed by a current and accurate survey and inspection of the Property.

(b) Within three (3) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall cause a commitment for title insurance (herein called the “Title Commitment”) to be issued by Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company c/o New York Land Services, 630 Third Avenue, 12th Floor, New York, NY 10017, Attention: Vanessa Cohen, Telephone Number: (212) 490-2277 and Facsimile Number: (212) 490-8012 (in such capacity herein called “Title Company”), and copies of the Title Commitment and underlying title exception documents to be delivered to Buyer and Buyer’s counsel. The Title Commitment shall commit to insure Buyer’s title to the Property in the face amount of the Purchase Price upon receipt of all necessary requirements requested by the Title Company to be satisfied by Seller in order for the Title Policy to be issued for the Property at Closing (each a “Title Requirement” and collectively, the “Title Requirements”). The Seller’s Affidavit made by Seller to the title company shall be in the form attached hereto as Schedule “5” to Exhibit “F”. Buyer shall have until January 26, 2018 in which to examine the

 

- 12 -


Title Commitment and any other matters referenced in paragraph 7(a)(i) above and in which to give Seller written notice of any objections to matters set forth therein that render Seller’s title less than good and marketable fee simple title (herein called the Initial Notice). Buyer may reexamine title to the Property up to and including the Closing Date and give Seller written notice of any additional objections to matters appearing of record subsequent to the effective date of the Title Commitment, but Buyer’s failure to specify in the Initial Notice an objection to any matter appearing of record as of the date of the Initial Notice shall be deemed to be, and shall constitute, a waiver of any objection to such matter, and such matter shall thereafter constitute a Permitted Exception under this Agreement. Furthermore, if Buyer shall fail to give the Initial Notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any objection to all matters of record as of the effective date of the Title Commitment, and all such matters shall thereafter constitute Permitted Exceptions under this Agreement.

(c) Seller shall have until January 31, 2018 in which to review the Initial Notice, and, if Seller elects, in which to give Buyer written notice of any objections specified therein which Seller intends to attempt to satisfy and those Title Requirements which Seller agrees to satisfy by the Closing Date (herein called a “Cure Notice). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any matter which Seller agrees to cure and Title Requirement Seller agrees to satisfy in the Cure Notice shall not be a Permitted Exception. If Seller, with respect to any objection specified in the Initial Notice or any Title Requirement, either fails to give a Cure Notice or elects not to cure such objection or to satisfy such Title Requirement, and if Buyer thereafter does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to paragraph 5 hereof, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any objection specified in the Initial Notice as to which Seller has failed to give a Cure Notice or elected not to cure and those Title Requirements which Seller has elected (or is deemed to have elected) not to satisfy, and any such objection shall thereafter constitute a Permitted Exception under this Agreement. If, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer delivers a form of title commitment acceptable to Buyer that does not set forth any requirements inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, then the form of Title Policy that shall be delivered to Buyer at Closing shall be the form of title policy provided for in such commitment delivered to Seller, together with all endorsements attached thereto.

(d) Seller shall have until the Closing Date to satisfy all valid objections and Title Requirements other than those waived or deemed to have been waived by Buyer pursuant to paragraphs 7(b) and 7(c). Either Seller or Buyer may extend Closing by up to thirty (30) days, or such longer period as the parties may agree, to provide time for Seller to cure any such valid objection or to satisfy any Title Requirement. If Seller fails to satisfy any such valid objections, then, at the option of Buyer, and as its sole and exclusive alternatives and remedies, Buyer may:

(i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer promptly upon request, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall expire, and this Agreement shall become null and void; or

(ii) waive such satisfaction and performance and elect to consummate the purchase and sale of the Property, in which event all unsatisfied objections shall constitute Permitted Exceptions under this Agreement.

 

- 13 -


The remedies of Buyer as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph 7(d) shall be Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedies in the event Seller gives a Cure Notice and Seller fails to satisfy any valid objections, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph 7 to the contrary, Seller shall not, during the term of this Agreement, enter into, or (except as may be required by applicable law or instruments of record as of the Effective Date) consent in writing to, any instrument (other than (i) New Leases executed in the ordinary course of business prior to the Due Diligence Date (so long as Seller delivers a copy thereof to Buyer at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Due Diligence Date) and (ii) any service agreements executed in the ordinary course of business and cancelable upon thirty (30) days written notice and without penalty) that encumbers title to the Property or would otherwise be binding on Buyer, and that will have a material adverse effect on the value or continued use of the Property as currently used by Seller, and that Seller does not cause to be removed as an encumbrance to title to the Property prior to or in connection with Closing. After the expiration of the Due Diligence, Seller shall not enter into any new Leases or modify, extend, or terminate any Existing Leases without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion.

(f) Except as expressly provided herein, Seller shall have no obligation to take any steps, bring any action or proceeding or incur any effort or expense whatsoever to eliminate, modify or cure any objection Buyer may have pursuant to this paragraph 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer disapproves of, and Seller covenants and agrees to remove (or cause to be removed) from the Property concurrently with the Closing (x) all deeds of trust, mortgages and/or other debt instruments affecting the Property, (y) any liens which arise from Seller’s failure to pay amounts owing under any contract, and no such matters shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions, and (z) except as set forth in immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), any other monetary liens which do not exceed $50,000 in the aggregate.

(g) Seller shall attempt to obtain executed tenant estoppel certificates (“Tenant Estoppels) from the tenants under the Existing Leases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer Tenant Estoppels from tenants in the aggregate occupying at least eighty percent (80%) of the leased square footage in the Improvements, which Tenant Estoppels must include all tenants occupying 10,000 or more square feet (collectively, the “Required Tenant Estoppels”). The form of the Tenant Estoppels shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit “H” attached hereto and made a part hereof; provided, however, that if any tenant is required or permitted under the terms of its Existing Lease to deliver a different form of tenant estoppel, to provide less information or to otherwise make different statements in a certification of such nature than are set forth on Exhibit “H”, then Buyer shall accept any modifications made to such Tenant Estoppel to the extent that such changes are consistent with the minimum requirements set forth in such Tenant’s Lease. Satisfaction of the covenant to obtain the Tenant Estoppels prior to Closing shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close unless waived in writing by Buyer; provided, however, that in no event shall Seller’s failure to deliver to Buyer any of the Tenant Estoppels be deemed to be a default by Seller under this Agreement, so long as Seller has used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Tenant Estoppels.

(h) If requested by Buyer, Seller agrees to request from tenants at the Property an

 

- 14 -


executed Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in a form prepared by Buyer or such form as may be required under the applicable Existing Lease (collectively, the “SNDAs”). Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain executed SNDAs from such tenants on or prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that the receipt of executed SNDAs shall in no event be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close the sale contemplated under this Agreement.

(i) Seller hereby agrees, through the Closing and at the Seller’s sole cost and expense, to continue to operate, manage and maintain the Property in Seller’s ordinary course of business so that the Property shall be in the same condition on the Closing Date as on the Effective Date, subject to reasonable wear and tear and excluding any maintenance obligations that are the responsibility of the tenants at the Property.

(j) With respect to the construction work that is planned for the 21st floor at the Project as more particularly described on Exhibit “K” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “21st Floor Construction Work”), (i) Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Buyer contracts with firm pricing on or before January 25, 2018 for the performance of the 21st Floor Construction Work (collectively, the “Construction Contracts”), (ii) Buyer shall notify Seller in writing if the Construction Contracts are approved by Buyer, (iii) promptly after approval by Buyer, Seller shall execute the Construction Contracts and deliver copies of the executed Construction Contracts to Buyer, and (iv) at Closing, Seller shall assign the Construction Contracts to Buyer and give Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of 110% of the work that the contractor(s) estimates remains to be performed under the Construction Contracts and Buyer shall assume sole responsibility for the completion of the 21st Floor Construction Work from and after Closing.

8. Survey. Seller shall deliver as part of the Due Diligence Materials any ALTA As-Built survey of the Property currently in Seller’s or its property manager’s possession (the “Existing Survey”). Buyer shall have the right, at its option, to cause a surveyor duly licensed in the State of California to prepare an update to the Existing Survey or a new survey of the Property (in either case herein called the “Survey”). If Buyer obtains a Survey, the Survey shall be certified to Buyer, Seller and Title Company, and Buyer shall deliver one (1) print of such Survey to each of Seller and Title Company. Any objections of Buyer to matters on the Survey shall be provided to Seller, along with Buyer’s objections to title, in the Initial Notice.

9. Proceedings at Closing. On the Closing Date, Closing shall take place as follows:

(a) On the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Escrow Agent the following documents and instruments, duly executed by or on behalf of Seller:

  14. Remedies.

(a) IF THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE PROPERTY CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IS NOT CONSUMMATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES OR CONDITIONS WHICH CONSTITUTE A DEFAULT BY BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE EARNEST MONEY SHALL BE DELIVERED TO AND RETAINED BY SELLER AS SELLER’S FULL LIQUIDATED DAMAGES (AND NOT AS A PENALTY) FOR SUCH DEFAULT. BUYER AND SELLER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE FOREGOING LIQUIDATED DAMAGES ARE INTENDED NOT AS A PENALTY OR FORFEITURE WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT AS FULL LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676, AND 1677 IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT AND AS COMPENSATION FOR SELLER’S TAKING THE PROPERTY OFF THE MARKET DURING THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT. BUYER AND SELLER FURTHER AGREE THAT IN LIGHT OF

 

- 26 -


THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AT THE TIME OF THE EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE AMOUNT OF THE FOREGOING LIQUIDATED DAMAGES REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE HARM LIKELY TO BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY BUYER, AND THAT PROOF OF ACTUAL DAMAGES WOULD BE COSTLY OR IMPRACTICAL TO ASCERTAIN. SUCH DELIVERY OF THE EARNEST MONEY SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF SELLER BY REASON OF A DEFAULT BY BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND SELLER HEREBY WAIVES AND RELEASES ANY RIGHT TO SUE BUYER, AND HEREBY COVENANTS NOT TO SUE BUYER, FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR TO PROVE THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES EXCEED THE EARNEST MONEY WHICH IS HEREIN PROVIDED SELLER AS FULL LIQUIDATED DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY DUTY, OBLIGATION, LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY WHICH BUYER MAY HAVE UNDER THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPHS 18, 21 AND 23(T) OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and specifically agree to the foregoing liquidated damages provision.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if specific performance is not available to Buyer as a result of the transfer of the Property by Seller to a third party in breach of this Agreement, then Buyer shall have the right to bring an action for Buyer’s actual damages against Seller in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000.00. For the avoidance of doubt, the inability or failure of the Title Company to issue the Title Policy to Seller at Closing in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 12(b)(iv) evidencing the conveyance of good and marketable fee simple title to the Property to Buyer on the Closing Date shall not constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement unless such inability or failure is caused by a defect in Seller’s title to the Property which is not a

If any portion of the Improvements is damaged or destroyed by casualty after the Due Diligence Date and prior to Closing, and the cost of repair of such damage or destruction is reasonably estimated to exceed ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, Buyer shall have the right, at Buyer’s option, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller on or before the date ten (10) days after the date upon which Seller gives Buyer written notice of such casualty, in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer promptly upon request, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall expire, and this Agreement shall become null and void. In the event of lesser damage or destruction after the Due Diligence Date, Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement by reason of such damage or destruction.

(b) If any portion of the Improvements is damaged or destroyed by casualty prior to Closing and Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with any termination right, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the parties shall proceed to Closing without any reduction or adjustment in the Purchase Price, except that at Closing:

If all or any part of the Property is taken by eminent domain proceedings, or if there is the commencement or bona fide threat of the commencement of any such proceedings, on or before the Due Diligence Date, and Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to paragraph 5 hereof, Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement by reason of such taking. If all or any material part of the Property is taken by eminent domain proceedings after the Due Diligence Date, and prior to Closing, Buyer shall have the right, at Buyer’s option, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller on or before the date ten (10) days after the date upon which Seller gives Buyer written notice of such taking, in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer promptly upon request, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall expire, and this Agreement shall become null and void.

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them at the point where first defined, irrespective of where their use occurs, with the same effect as if the definitions of such terms were set forth in full and at length every time such terms are used.

(g) Pronouns. Wherever appropriate in this Agreement, personal pronouns shall be deemed to include the other genders and the singular to include the plural.

(h) Severability. If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall ever be held to be invalid or unenforceable, then in each such event the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term, covenant, condition or provision to any other person or any other circumstance (other than those as to which it shall be invalid or unenforceable) shall not be thereby affected, and each term, covenant, condition and provision hereof shall remain valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(i) Non-Waiver. Failure by any party to complain of any action, non-action or breach of any other party shall not constitute a waiver of any aggrieved party’s rights hereunder. Waiver by any party of any right arising from any breach of any other party shall not constitute a waiver of any other right arising from a subsequent breach of the same obligation or for any other default, past, present or future.

(j) Time of Essence; Dates. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. Anywhere a date certain is stated for payment or for performance of any obligation, the day certain so stated enters into and becomes a part of the consideration for this Agreement. If any date set forth in this Agreement shall fall on, or any time period set forth in this Agreement shall expire on, a day which is a Saturday, Sunday or federal or state holiday, such date shall automatically be

 

- 34 -


extended to, and the expiration of such time period shall automatically be extended to, the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal or state holiday. The final day of any time period under this Agreement or any deadline under this Agreement shall be the specified day or date, and shall include the period of time through and including such specified day or date. Any day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal or state holiday is herein sometimes called a “Business Day”.

(k) Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed under and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

(l) Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and agreements between Seller and Buyer with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property and other matters contained herein, and this Agreement contains the sole and entire understanding between Seller and Buyer with respect thereto. This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of Seller and Buyer.

(m) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Executed counterparts may be transmitted by telecopy, email or other electronic means and copies so transmitted when printed shall be deemed originals.

(n) Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation between Buyer and Seller arising under or in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party the expenses of litigation (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by the prevailing party.

(o) Authority. Each party hereto warrants and represents that such party has full and complete authority to enter into this Agreement and each person executing this Agreement on behalf of a party warrants and represents that he has been fully authorized to execute this Agreement on behalf of such party and that such party is bound by the signature of such representative.

(p) Counsel. Each party hereto warrants and represents that each party has been afforded the opportunity to be represented by counsel of its choice in connection with the execution of this Agreement and has had ample opportunity to read, review, and understand the provisions of this Agreement.

(q) No Construction Against Preparer. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party’s having or being deemed to have prepared or imposed such provision. Therefore, Seller and Buyer waive the effect of California Civil Code Section 1654 which interprets uncertainties in a contract against the party who drafted the contract.

(r) No Lien. This Agreement is not and shall not be deemed or considered to convey or be an interest in or lien against the Property.

 

- 35 -


(s) No Recording. In no event shall this Agreement or any memorandum hereof be recorded by Buyer in any public records, except to the extent required to maintain an action for specific performance, and any such recordation or attempted recordation shall constitute a breach of this Agreement by Buyer.    

(t) ADA Disclosure. Buyer acknowledges that the Project may be subject to the federal Americans With Disabilities Act (herein called the “ADA”). The ADA requires, among other matters, that tenants and/or owners of “public accommodations” remove barriers in order to make the Property accessible to disabled persons and provide auxiliary aids and services for hearing, vision or speech impaired persons. Without limiting the generality of any provision of this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in paragraph 11(d) above. Seller makes no warranty, representation or guarantee of any type or kind with respect to the Project’s compliance with the ADA (or any similar state or local law), and Seller expressly disclaims any such representation.    

(u) Prohibited Person; Buyer’s Funds; Patriot Act.

(i) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Prohibited Person” means any of the following: (i) a person or entity that is listed in the Annex to, or is otherwise subject to the provisions of, Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing (effective September 24, 2001) (herein called the “Executive Order”); (ii) a person or entity owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of any person or entity that is listed in the Annex to, or is otherwise subject to the provisions of, the Executive Order; (iii) a person or entity that is named as a “specifically designated national” or “blocked person” on the most current list published by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control    (herein called “OFAC”) at its official website, http://www.treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac; (iv) a person or entity that is otherwise the target of any economic sanctions program currently administered by OFAC; or (v) a person or entity that is affiliated with any person or entity identified in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv). Buyer represents and warrants to Seller, knowing that Seller is relying on such representation and warranty, that Buyer nor any person who owns a direct interest in Buyer is not now nor shall be at any time until Closing a Prohibited Person.    

(ii) Buyer has taken and shall continue to take until Closing, such measures as are required by law to assure that the funds used to pay to Seller the Purchase Price are derived (1) from transactions that do not violate United States law nor, to the extent such funds originate outside the United States, do not violate the laws of the jurisdiction in which they originated; and (2) from permissible sources under United States law and to the extent such funds originate outside the United States, under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they originated.

(iii) To the best of Buyer’s knowledge after making due inquiry, neither Buyer nor any Buyer Party, nor any Person providing funds to Buyer (1) is under investigation by any governmental authority for, or has been charged with, or convicted of, money laundering, drug trafficking, terrorist related activities, any crimes which in the United States would be predicate crimes to money laundering, or any violation of any Anti

 

- 36 -


Money Laundering Laws; (2) has been assessed civil or criminal penalties under any Anti-Money Laundering Laws (as defined herein); or (3) has had any of its funds seized or forfeited in any action under any Anti Money Laundering Laws. For purposes of this paragraph 23(u)(iii), the term “Anti-Money Laundering Laws” shall mean laws, regulations and sanctions, state and federal, criminal and civil, that (a) limit the use of and/or seek the forfeiture of proceeds from illegal transactions; (b) limit commercial transactions with designated countries or individuals believed to be terrorists, narcotics dealers or otherwise engaged in activities contrary to the interests of the United States; (c) require identification and documentation of the parties with whom a United States Financial Institution as defined in 31 U.S.C. 5312, as periodically amended, conducts business; or (d) are designed to disrupt the flow of funds to terrorist organizations. Such laws, regulations and sanctions shall be deemed to include the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, Pub. L. No. 107-56 (herein called the “Patriot Act”), the Bank Secrecy Act, 31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq., the Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. Section 1 et seq., the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. Section 1701 et seq., and the sanction regulations promulgated pursuant thereto by the OFAC, as well as laws relating to prevention and detection of money laundering in 18 U.S.C. Sections 1956 and 1957.

(iv) Buyer is in compliance with any and all applicable provisions of the Patriot Act.

(v) Press Release. After Closing, Buyer may issue a press release regarding the sale contemplated by this Agreement so long as such press release is first approved in writing (or via e-mail) by Seller, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(w) Jury Waiver. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE BUYER AND SELLER DO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, OR UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE DOCUMENTS DELIVERED BY BUYER AT CLOSING OR SELLER AT CLOSING, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ANY ACTIONS OF EITHER SELLER OR BUYER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY MANNER WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS OR DEFENSES ASSERTING THAT THIS AGREEMENT WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE). THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR SELLER AND BUYER TO ENTER INTO AND ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS DELIVERED BY BUYER AT CLOSING AND SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING OR THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF THE FOREGOING JURY TRIAL WAIVER IS DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT ANY LITIGATION BASED ON THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE RESOLVED BY A GENERAL REFERENCE

 

- 37 -


PROCEEDING IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 638 TO 645.2, INCLUSIVE, OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR THEIR SUCCESSOR SECTIONS, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE MODIFIED HEREIN.

ANY DISPUTE REGARDING THE SELECTION OF THE REFEREE SHALL BE RESOLVED BY JAMS OR THE ENTITY PROVIDING THE REFERENCE SERVICES, OR, IF NO ENTITY IS INVOLVED, BY THE COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 638 AND 640; 5) THE REFEREE SHALL BE AUTHORIZED TO PROVIDE ALL REMEDIES AVAILABLE IN LAW OR EQUITY APPROPRIATE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CONTROVERSY; 6) THE REFEREE MAY REQUIRE ONE OR MORE PRE-HEARING CONFERENCES; 7) THE PARTIES SHALL BE ENTITLED TO DISCOVERY, AND THE REFEREE SHALL OVERSEE DISCOVERY AND MAY ENFORCE ALL DISCOVERY ORDERS IN THE SAME MANNER AS ANY TRIAL COURT JUDGE; 8) A STENOGRAPHIC RECORD OF THE REFERENCE PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE MADE; 9) THE REFEREE’S STATEMENT OF DECISION SHALL CONTAIN FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE; 10) THE REFEREE SHALL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO RULE ON ALL POST-HEARING MOTIONS IN THE SAME MANNER AS A TRIAL JUDGE; 11) THE PARTIES SHALL PROMPTLY AND DILIGENTLY COOPERATE WITH EACH OTHER AND THE REFEREE AND PERFORM SUCH ACTS AS MAY BE NECESSARY FOR AN EXPEDITIOUS RESOLUTION OF THE DISPUTE; 12) EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 23(n) OR AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY SHALL BEAR 1/2 OF THE COSTS OF THE JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROCEEDING. THE REFEREE MAY NOT AWARD AGAINST EITHER PARTY ANY EXPENSES IN EXCESS OF THOSE THAT WOULD BE RECOVERABLE AS COSTS IF THE DISPUTE HAD BEEN LITIGATED TO FINAL JUDGMENT IN COURT. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 23(n), EACH PARTY TO THE JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROCEEDING SHALL BEAR ITS OWN ATTORNEYS’

FEES AND COSTS IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH PROCEEDING; AND 13) THE STATEMENT OF DECISION OF THE REFEREE UPON ALL OF THE ISSUES CONSIDERED BY THE REFEREE SHALL BE BINDING UPON THE PARTIES, AND UPON FILING OF THE STATEMENT OF DECISION WITH THE CLERK OF THE COURT, OR WITH THE JUDGE WHERE THERE IS NO CLERK, JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED THEREON. THE DECISION OF THE REFEREE SHALL BE APPEALABLE AS IF RENDERED BY THE COURT. THIS PROVISION SHALL IN NO WAY BE CONSTRUED TO LIMIT ANY VALID CAUSE OF ACTION, WHICH MAY BE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES.

ESCROW PROVISIONS

1. In performing any of its duties hereunder, Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability to anyone for any damages, losses or expenses, including, without limitation (i) any action taken or omitted 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. Escrow Agent may rely upon any instrument, pursuant to clause (ii) in the preceding sentence, as being duly executed, valid and effective, and as containing accurate information and genuine signatures.

2. Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the contrary, in the event of (a) a dispute between Seller and Buyer arising prior to or at the time of the delivery or other disposition of the Earnest Money by Escrow Agent pursuant hereto, which dispute shall be sufficient, in the sole discretion of Escrow Agent, to justify its doing so; (b) any dispute arises with respect to this Escrow Agreement, whether such dispute arises between the parties hereto or between the parties hereto and other persons, Escrow Agent is authorized to tender the Earnest Money into the registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction, together with such legal pleadings as it may deem appropriate, and thereupon Escrow Agent shall 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. Escrow Agent’s determination of whether a dispute exists between Seller and Buyer shall be binding and conclusive upon all parties hereto, notwithstanding any contention that no dispute exists. All costs and expenses incurred by Escrow Agent in taking any action pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by and paid pursuant to the indemnification of Escrow Agent contained in the following paragraph.

3. Buyer and Seller shall, and do hereby, jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold Escrow Agent harmless from, against and in respect of: (i) any and all demands, judgments, expenses, costs, losses, injuries or claims of any kind whatsoever whether existing on the date hereof or hereafter arising, incurred by Escrow Agent by reason of, from or in connection with this agreement or any action taken or not taken by Escrow Agent under or in connection with this agreement, except to the extent caused by Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, or by Escrow Agent’s grossly negligent mishandling of funds; and (ii) any and all counsel fees, expenses, disbursements of counsel, amounts of judgments, demands, assessments, costs, fines or penalties, and amounts paid in compromise or settlement, incurred or sustained by Escrow Agent by reason of, in connection with or as a result of any claim, demand, action, suit, investigation or proceeding (or any appeal thereof or relating thereto or other review thereof) incident to the matters covered by the immediately preceding clause (i), except to the extent cause by Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, or by Escrow Agent’s grossly negligent mishandling of funds.

4. If Escrow Agent is made a party to any judicial, nonjudicial or administrative action, hearing or process based on the acts of Buyer and Seller and not on the willful misconduct and/or gross negligence of Escrow Agent in performing its duties hereunder, then the

 

Exhibit D-1


losing party shall indemnify, save and hold harmless Escrow Agent from the expenses, costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Escrow Agent in responding to such action, hearing or process.

5. If Escrow Agent shall notify Seller and Buyer of its desire to be relieved of any further duties and liabilities hereunder, then Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to a successor escrow agent designated by Seller and Buyer. If Seller and Buyer shall fail to agree upon and designate a successor escrow agent within ten (10) days after having been requested by Escrow Agent to do so, then Escrow Agent shall in its discretion designate the successor escrow agent. The successor escrow agent designated by Seller and Buyer or by Escrow Agent, as the case may be, shall be a title insurance company, bank or trust company having trust powers in good standing and located in New York, and shall agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this agreement. Immediately upon agreement by the successor escrow agent to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this agreement, the original Escrow Agent shall be relieved of any and all duties and liabilities under or in connection with this agreement; provided, however, that no successor escrow agent shall assume any liability for the acts or omissions of its predecessor escrow agent(s) hereunder.
