THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of 8:00 a.m. Chicago, Illinois time on the 30th day of October, 2013 (the “Effective Date”) by and between UST-GEPT JOINT VENTURE, L.P., an Illinois limited partnership (“Seller”), and KBS CAPITAL ADVISORS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Seller is the owner and holder of the fee estate in that certain plots, pieces and parcels of land (the “Land”) commonly known as Citigroup Center and located at 500 West Madison Street, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois 60661, together with any and all appurtenant easement rights, and more particularly described in Schedule B annexed hereto, together with the 40-story, Class “A” office building and all other improvements (collectively, the “Building”) located on the Land, (the Building and the Land, together with all rights, privileges, easements, rights of way, appurtenances benefitting such Land and/or the Building, used or connected with the beneficial use or enjoyment of such Land and/or the Building, are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Premises”);

WHEREAS, Seller desires to cause the sale, assignment and transfer of its interests in and to the Property (as hereinafter defined) to Purchaser on the Closing Date, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and Purchaser desires to purchase the Property from Seller on the Closing Date, upon the terms more particularly set forth in this Agreement; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

 

  1.

DEFINITIONS.

When used in this Agreement, the capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth herein or as indicated on Schedule A attached hereto.

 

  2.

PURCHASE AND SALE.

(a)         On the Closing Date, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement: (i) the Premises, (ii) all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the fixtures, furnishings, furniture, equipment, machinery, inventory, appliances, works of art and all goodwill and other tangible and intangible personal property located at the Premises and used in connection with the operation thereof, including, without limitation, the tangible personal property listed on Schedule C attached hereto (the “Personalty”), but specifically excluding the property listed on Schedule M (the “Excluded Personalty”) and also excluding any tangible and intangible personal property owned by the tenants under the Leases (as hereinafter defined), by the property manager or by Metra, (iii) to the extent assignable, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the warranties (including, without limitation, all warranties made by any

The items described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x), and (xi) above and any rights and claims of Seller relating thereto, including, without limitation, indemnity rights, rights under contracts and instruments by which any of the foregoing were acquired, and other rights, causes of action and claims against any tenants or other third parties shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Property”.

(b)         Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the value of the Personalty that is included in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is de minimis, and no part of the Purchase Price (defined below) is allocable thereto.

 

  3.

PURCHASE PRICE; DEPOSIT.

(a)         The purchase price to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for the Property (the “Purchase Price”) is FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($425,000,000.00), subject to adjustment and apportionment as provided in Section 8 below, which shall be payable as follows:

 

2


(i)         Within two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver to First American Title Insurance Company (Attention: John E. Beckstedt, Jr., 30 North LaSalle Street, Suite 2700, Chicago, Illinois 60602) (312-917-7233), as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), the sum of TWO MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($2,000,000.00) (the “Initial Deposit”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Escrow Account (defined below). It shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement that Purchaser shall have delivered the Initial Deposit to the Escrow Agent not later than two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date.

(ii)         In the event Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then, not later than two (2) Business Days after the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent, the additional sum of EIGHT MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($8,000,000.00) (the “Additional Deposit”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Escrow Account. The (1) Initial Deposit, (2) Additional Deposit, (3) Extension Fee (as defined in Section 19(a) below), if applicable, and (4) all Income (as hereinafter defined) earned thereon are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Deposit”. In the event Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, the Deposit shall be non-refundable except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if this Agreement terminates or the Closing fails to occur, for any reason other than Purchaser’s failure to purchase the Property when it is obligated to do so under the terms of this Agreement, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser.

(iii)         At Closing, (A) the Deposit shall be applied to the Purchase Price and paid to Seller by Escrow Agent, and (B) Purchaser shall deliver the balance of the Purchase Price (i.e., the Purchase Price less the Deposit and less the Extension Fee, if applicable, as defined in Section 19(a) below) to Seller, as adjusted, if necessary, pursuant to Section 8 hereof.

(b)         The Deposit shall be held by Escrow Agent for the account of Purchaser and disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c)         In addition to delivering the Initial Deposit to Escrow Agent, as independent consideration (the “Independent Consideration”) for and in consideration of Seller’s entering into this Agreement, including providing to Purchaser the right to conduct its investigations of the Property, concurrently with the delivery of the Deposit to Escrow Agent, Purchaser shall deliver directly to Seller the sum of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00). The Independent Consideration is not applicable to the Purchase Price and shall be retained by Seller in all events, including in the event of Closing or any termination of this Agreement. Purchaser and Seller agree that the Independent Consideration together with the mutual covenants and agreements herein set forth are adequate to prevent this Agreement from merely constituting an option to purchase the Property as opposed to a purchase agreement.

 

  4.

RIGHTS OF INSPECTION AND CONFIDENTIALITY.

(a)         Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) on the Effective Date (the “Inspection Period”), to examine, inspect and investigate the Property as provided herein. If Purchaser (in its sole and absolute discretion for any reason or no reason)

 

3


notifies Seller in writing in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 20 below on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period that Purchaser elects not to consummate the purchase of the Property in accordance with this Agreement (the “Termination Notice”), then this Agreement shall thereupon be terminated, and the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further liability to the other under this Agreement, except as may otherwise expressly be set forth herein. If Purchaser fails to deliver a Termination Notice on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall be deemed waived and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

(b)         During the Inspection Period and thereafter (unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof), Purchaser shall have the right to inspect the Property, and the books, records and operations of Seller related thereto, in accordance with the terms of this Section 4. Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has made, or has caused to be made, available to Purchaser copies of the documents listed on Schedule D attached hereto (the “Due Diligence Materials”) to the extent in Seller’s possession or control (which shall include Seller’s control over its property manager), and Seller has permitted, and shall continue to permit, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives (defined below) to examine and audit the same and to make copies of same at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. Purchaser acknowledges that some or all of the Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) was prepared by third parties other than Seller, and in several instances, was prepared prior to Seller’s ownership of the Property. In addition, subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 4(h) below, Seller will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser (at no cost or expense to Seller) to deliver or make available to Purchaser or Purchaser’s accountants such information as is reasonably required for Purchaser to perform its S-X 3-14 audit mandated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“Purchaser’s 3-14 Audit”), to the extent in Seller’s possession or control, provided that Seller shall not be obligated to deliver any material that is subject to the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine.

(c)         Subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases, the rights of Metra under the Metra Declaration, the rights of the counterparty under the Pedestrian Bridge Agreement and the other provisions of this Section 4, Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, may at reasonable times, during normal business hours, upon at least twenty-four (24) hours prior written notice to Seller (which notice shall include the time and place of such entry and shall be delivered by email to Seller’s representatives and Seller’s property manager at the following e-mail addresses: brian.strickland1@ge.com, atomlinson@mbres.com and cmccormack@mbres.com), cause the Premises and all utility and service systems thereon to be inspected by such Purchaser Representatives, as Purchaser may designate, and Seller shall make available to Purchaser for interviews regarding the Property, Seller’s personnel, agents and managers and Purchaser shall have the right to interview the tenants leasing space in the Property, pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 4(d) below.

(d)         In conducting the inspection of the Premises on behalf of Purchaser, neither Purchaser nor any of Purchaser’s agents, employees, attorneys, accountants, consultants, advisors, lenders, investors, inspectors, appraisers, engineers, contractors, experts, partners, prospective partners, prospective investors, investment advisors, securities dealers, broker/dealers, mortgage brokers and officers (collectively, “Purchaser’s Representatives”) shall

 

4


(i) contact or have any discussions with any of Seller’s affiliates or their employees (if any), Seller’s property management company’s employees, or tenants at (with respect to any such tenant’s lease or tenancy at the Premises or Purchaser’s intended purchase of the Property), or contractors providing services to, the Premises, in each case unless Purchaser shall give Seller at least one (1) Business Day written notice at the e-mail addresses set forth above of such interview, provided that one or more representatives of Seller or its management company shall have the right to be present at all times during such interviews; (ii) unreasonably interfere with the business of Seller, Seller’s affiliates, Metra, the counterparty under the Pedestrian Bridge Agreement or any tenant conducted at the Premises; (iii) damage the Premises or any portion thereof; (iv) enter into any portions of the Premises intended for the exclusive occupancy by a tenant, Metra or the counterparty under the Pedestrian Bridge Agreement unless accompanied by a representative of Seller or its management company and, if so requested by such tenant, Metra or the counterparty under the Pedestrian Bridge Agreement, a representative of such tenant, Metra or the counterparty under the Pedestrian Bridge Agreement, as applicable; or (v) contact any governmental agencies (other than Metra) regarding this Agreement, the Property or the Seller (other than for the purpose of gathering information regarding the current zoning compliance of the Property, searching the public records relating to the Property’s compliance with any applicable laws, and other customary title, tax and violation searches). Seller may, from time to time, establish reasonable rules of conduct for Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives in furtherance of the foregoing. In conducting any inspection, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives shall at all times comply with, and shall be subject to, all other terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement. Purchaser shall schedule and coordinate all inspections, including, without limitation, any environmental tests, with Seller or its management company and shall give Seller or its management company at least one (1) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof. Seller shall be entitled to have one or more representatives of Seller or its management company to be present at all times during each such inspection.

(e)         Prior to entry onto the Premises by Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s Representatives, Purchaser shall obtain for itself, and obtain or require from each of Purchaser’s Representatives entering the Premises, at a minimum the following insurance: (i) comprehensive general liability insurance, combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of $2,000,000 for each occurrence and annual aggregate, such policy to include Seller and its property management company as additional insureds for all activities arising out of the performance of Purchaser’s or its Purchaser’s Representatives’ inspection of the Property, (ii) errors and omissions insurance, $1,000,000 for each occurrence and annual aggregate, (iii) comprehensive automobile liability insurance, combined single limit for bodily injury, death and property damages of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 in the aggregate, and (iv) worker’s compensation and employer’s liability insurance, with limits of liability not less than those required by applicable law. All insurance to be carried by Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives in accordance with this Section 4(e) shall be maintained from creditworthy companies reasonably acceptable to Seller. Prior to any entry on the Premises, Purchaser shall provide Seller with copies of certificates of insurance evidencing the foregoing insurance coverages. Seller acknowledges and agrees that it has received evidence of the insurance required to be maintained under this Section 4(e) and that it has approved the same.

(f)         If any inspection or test or any entry by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives onto the Property disturbs and/or damages the Property, Purchaser shall, as soon

 

5


as reasonably possible, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, restore the Property where Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives have performed any inspection or test to substantially the same condition it was in immediately prior to such inspection or test, failing which Seller may perform the work of restoration and Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the cost and expense thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller in its reasonable discretion believes that the damage does not require immediate repair, Seller shall not repair such damage prior to Closing (or the earlier termination of this Agreement), and shall instead convey the Property to Purchaser subject to such damage; provided that if the Closing does not occur for any reason, then Purchaser shall still be responsible for such reimbursement to Seller for the cost and expense thereof. The provisions of this Section 4(f) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

(g)         Upon any termination of this Agreement for any reason other than Seller’s default, Purchaser, upon written request from Seller (and only if and to the extent requested), agrees to promptly deliver to Seller copies of any and all reports, studies, environmental audits, environmental assessments, or other documents or information prepared by or for Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives or obtained by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives with respect to the Property at no cost or expense to Seller; provided, however, Purchaser shall have no obligation to deliver to Seller copies of any (i) appraisals or other economic evaluations of, or projections with respect to, all or any portion of the Property, including, without limitation, budgets prepared by or on behalf of Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser, and (ii) any documents, materials or information which are subject to attorney/client, work product or similar privilege, which constitute attorney communications with respect to the Property and/or Purchaser, or which are subject to a confidentiality agreement; provided further, however, that all such reports, studies, environmental audits, environmental assessments, or other documents or information shall be provided subject to the terms of any confidentiality provisions contained therein and without any representations and warranties on the part of Purchaser of any kind regarding the accuracy or thoroughness of the information contained in the materials provided to Seller. All inspection fees, appraisal fees, engineering fees and other costs and expenses of any kind incurred by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives relating to such inspection of the Premises and its other due diligence shall be at the sole expense of Purchaser. Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives shall obtain and maintain insurance from creditworthy companies as described in Section 4(e) and, upon request of Seller or as otherwise required herein, provide written evidence of same. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives shall not be permitted to conduct borings of the Premises or drilling, or any other invasive or intrusive testing (including, without limitation, any Phase II environmental audit), in or on the Premises in connection with the preparation of an environmental audit or in connection with any other inspection of the Premises without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent may be granted or denied in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion). The provisions of this Section 4(g) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

(h)         Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any and all of the information, reports, agreements, contracts, projections, studies, audits, assessments, documents, financial statements and analysis of any kind or nature which is delivered to Purchaser by, or at the direction of Seller, or any of its agents or affiliates, or prepared by, or for Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives, or otherwise derived in connection with Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s

 

6


Representatives inspection of the Property, or activities at the Premises, is proprietary and confidential in nature (the “Diligence Confidential Information”) and will be delivered to and/or commissioned by Purchaser solely to assist Purchaser in determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are, proprietary and confidential in nature (the “Agreement Confidential Information” and, together with the Diligence Confidential Information, the “Confidential Information”). Purchaser agrees, prior to Closing, not to disclose, directly or indirectly, the contents of the Confidential Information to any party; provided, however, that Purchaser may disclose any Confidential Information (1) to the extent legally compelled to do so, or to the extent required by legal process or (2) to Purchaser’s Representatives on a “need to know” basis as necessary to complete Purchaser’s inspection and review of the Property or to comply with rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and/or the United States Internal Revenue Service in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, provided, further, that each of such Purchaser’s Representatives is directed by Purchaser to comply with the provisions of this Section 4(h). Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall impair Purchaser’s (or any entity for which Purchaser now or hereafter acts as the investment advisor) right to disclose information relating to this Agreement or the Property (a) from and after the expiration of the Inspection Period, to any due diligence representatives and/or consultants that are engaged by, work for or are acting on behalf of any securities dealers and/or broker dealers evaluating Purchaser or its permitted assignee hereunder (or any entity for which Purchaser (or its permitted assignee hereunder) now or hereafter acts as the investment advisor), (b) in connection with any filings (including any amendment or supplement to any S-11 filing) with governmental agencies (including the United States Securities and Exchange Commission) by any REIT holding (or contemplating holding) an interest (direct or indirect) in any entity for which Purchaser now or hereafter acts as the investment advisor, and (c) from and after the expiration of the Inspection Period, to any broker/dealers in Purchaser’s (or Purchaser’s permitted assignee hereunder) or such REIT’s broker/dealer network and any of such REIT’s investors. In permitting Purchaser and the Purchaser’s Representatives to review the Confidential Information, Seller has not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third party benefits or relationships of any kind, either express or implied, have been offered, intended or created by Seller and any such claims are expressly rejected by Seller and waived by Purchaser. Purchaser shall return to Seller or destroy all originals and all copies of the Confidential Information (including, without limitation, any materials prepared by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives incorporating the Confidential Information) on the first to occur of (i) such time as Purchaser determines that it shall not purchase the Property, or (ii) such time as this Agreement is terminated for any reason, provided that Purchaser shall have the right to retain a copy of the foregoing consistent with its document retention policy subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Section 4(h). Purchaser further acknowledges that Seller has not made and does not make any warranty or representation regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or the source(s) thereof. Seller has not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information. Nothing herein shall prevent the use of the Confidential Information in connection with the enforcement of, or dispute concerning, this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 4(h) shall survive the termination of this Agreement but shall terminate at Closing.

 

7


(i)       Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and its direct and indirect shareholders, officers, directors, partners, principals, members, employees, agents, contractors, attorneys, accountants, consultants and any successors or assigns of the foregoing (collectively with Seller, the “Seller Related Parties”) harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, liens, claims, liabilities or expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and disbursements) incurred by any of Seller’s Related Parties (but expressly excluding any consequential, special or punitive damages), to the extent they relate to, arise out of or are the result of (i) Purchaser’s and/or Purchaser’s Representatives’ access to, or inspection of the Premises, or any tests, inspections or other due diligence conducted pursuant to this Agreement, and/or (ii) the breach by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives of the confidentiality requirements and inspection obligations described in this Section 4; provided, however, that the preceding indemnity shall not apply to (1) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or the Seller Related Parties or (2) the mere existence or discovery (as opposed to exacerbation or aggravation) or disclosure of a pre-existing Property condition or Property information by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives, so long as such disclosure is made in compliance with the terms of Section 4(h) hereof. Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure any of Purchaser’s and/or Purchaser’s Representatives’ violations of this Section 4. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, no termination hereof shall terminate Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to this Section. The provisions of this Section 4(i) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

(j)       Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Seller, express or implied by inference or otherwise, to any party for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials to the Property or any part thereof, nor as giving Purchaser any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials that would give rise to the filing of any liens against the Property or any part thereof. Purchaser agrees to promptly cause the removal of, and indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless with respect to, any mechanic’s or similar lien filed against the Property or any part thereof by any party performing any labor or services at the Property or supplying any materials to the Property at Purchaser’s request. The provisions of this Section 4(j) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

(k)       Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that the Access and Indemnity Agreement dated as of October 2, 2013 relating to this transaction is hereby expressly terminated and of no further force and effect, except for obligations relating to any inspections conducted prior to the Effective Date.

 

  5.

ESCROW AGENT; ESCROW PROVISIONS.

(a)       Upon receipt by Escrow Agent of the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall cause the same to be deposited into an interest bearing account at an institution selected by Escrow Agent and jointly approved by Seller and Purchaser (the “Escrow Account”) (it being agreed that Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the amount of interest which accrues thereon). All interest or other income accrued on the Deposit (the “Income”) shall be paid to or applied for the benefit of the same party entitled to the Deposit and the party receiving the Income or having the same applied to its benefit shall be responsible for paying any income taxes thereon. The tax identification numbers of the parties hereto shall be furnished to Escrow Agent upon request.

 

8


(b)       Escrow Agent shall acknowledge receipt of the Deposit and agrees to hold the Deposit in the Escrow Account pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement for application in accordance with the provisions hereof, upon the following terms:

(i)       Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth herein. Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person to make any payment or delivery or to enforce any obligation of any person to perform any other act. Escrow Agent shall be under no liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto (other than Escrow Agent) or any maker, guarantor, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person to perform such person’s obligations under any such document. Except for amendments to this Agreement hereinafter referred to and except for joint instructions given to Escrow Agent by Seller and Purchaser relating to the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to recognize any agreement between any or all of the persons referred to herein, notwithstanding that references thereto may be made herein and whether or not it has knowledge thereof.

(ii)       In its capacity as Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the genuineness or validity of any security, instrument, document or item deposited with it and shall have no responsibility other than to faithfully follow the instructions contained herein, and it is fully protected in acting in accordance with any written instrument given to it hereunder by any of the parties hereto and reasonably believed by Escrow Agent to have been signed by the proper person. Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give any notice hereunder has been duly authorized to do so. Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Deposit. Promptly after the receipt by Escrow Agent of (a) notice of any demand by either party claiming that it is entitled to the Deposit or (b) any other claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by either party, Escrow Agent shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any of the other parties hereto, send a copy of such notice to the other party and inform the other party of such claim; but the failure by Escrow Agent to give such notice shall not relieve any party from any liability which such party may have to Escrow Agent hereunder. If Escrow Agent shall receive written notice from either party within five (5) Business Days after delivery of such notice instructing Escrow Agent to not deliver the Deposit to the other party or to otherwise hold the Deposit, or if for any reason there is any dispute or uncertainty concerning any action to be taken hereunder, Escrow Agent shall either (1) take no action and shall continue to hold the Deposit until it has received instructions in writing concurred to by Seller and Purchaser or until directed by a final order of judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, whereupon Escrow Agent shall take such action in accordance with such instructions or such order, or (2) at its option, pay the Deposit into a court of competent jurisdiction in the county in which the Premises is located and to interplead both Seller and Purchaser, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall be released from any further liability or obligation to either Seller or Purchaser. Seller hereby irrevocably agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere in this Agreement, if Purchaser timely delivers a Termination Notice on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then the Deposit shall be immediately distributed by Escrow Agent to Purchaser without the need for any notice to or from or any consent or instruction from Seller and notwithstanding any instruction or notice to the contrary from Seller and Seller acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right to give any such contrary instructions.

(iii)       It is understood and agreed that the duties of Escrow Agent are purely ministerial in nature. Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, except for acts of willful misconduct or gross negligence. Escrow Agent may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is reasonably believed by Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a final judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Illinois, or a Federal court in such jurisdiction or a writing delivered to Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto.

(iv)       Escrow Agent shall have the right to assume in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the proper person or persons that a fact or an event by reason of which an action would or might be taken by Escrow Agent does not exist or has not occurred, without incurring liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, in reliance upon such assumption.

(v)       Except in connection with Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless jointly and severally by the other parties hereto from and against any and all expenses or loss suffered by Escrow Agent (as Escrow Agent), including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim, which arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of Escrow Agent hereunder or the monies held by it hereunder.

(vi)       From time to time on and after the date hereof, Seller and Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Escrow Agent such further documents and instruments and shall do and cause to be done such further acts as Escrow Agent shall reasonably request (it being understood that Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to make any such request) to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected in acting hereunder.

(vii)       Escrow Agent may resign at any time as Escrow Agent hereunder upon giving five (5) days’ prior written notice to that effect to both Seller and Purchaser. In such event, the successor Escrow Agent shall be a nationally recognized title insurance company or other person acceptable to both Seller and Purchaser. Such party that will no longer be serving as Escrow Agent shall deliver, against receipt, to such successor Escrow Agent, the Deposit held by such party, to be held by such successor Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. If no such successor has been designated on or before such party ceases to be Escrow Agent hereunder, whether by resignation or otherwise, its obligations as Escrow Agent shall continue until such successor is appointed, provided, however, its sole obligation thereafter

 

10


shall be to safely keep all monies then held by it and to deliver the same to the person, firm or corporation designated as its successor or until directed by a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, whereupon Escrow Agent shall make disposition thereof in accordance with such order; provided further, however, that such Escrow Agent, in such event, shall deliver the Deposit against receipt, to any bank or trust company or title insurance company operating in Chicago, Illinois selected by such party. If no successor Escrow Agent is designated and qualified within five (5) days after its resignation is effective, such party that will no longer be serving as Escrow Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent.

  7.

TITLE INSURANCE, LIENS.

(a)      (i)       The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller has made available to Purchaser a copy of the owner’s title insurance policy issued by First American Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”), with an effective date of June 6, 2005, as File No. NCS-159275-CHI1 (the “Existing Title Policy”) and the Existing Survey relating to the Premises. Prior to the Effective Date, Seller delivered to, or caused to be delivered to, Purchaser or Purchaser’s counsel, and Purchaser acknowledges receipt of, an updated title commitment for an ALTA (2006) owner’s policy of title insurance and identified as File No. 3020-618295 with an effective date of September 11, 2013 (and last revised October 9, 2013) (the “Commitment”), together with either hard copies of, or on-line access to copies of, the exceptions to title referred to therein, issued by the Title Company. Prior to the Effective Date, Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, obtained a current ALTA/ACSM survey of the Premises (the “Updated Survey”). To the extent the same has not been done prior to the Effective Date, Purchaser shall cause the Updated Survey to be certified to the Title Company, and shall deliver a copy of the Updated Survey to Seller and the Title Company promptly after the Effective Date. Except as set forth in Section 7(a)(iii) below, Purchaser has waived its right to object to any matters, liens, encumbrances or other title exceptions appearing on such Commitment and Updated Survey; provided, however, Purchaser shall have the right to object by delivery of written notice (collectively, the “Title Objections”) to Seller and Seller’s attorneys, on or prior to the earlier of (i) five (5) days after receipt of notice of a new exception or encumbrance (which is not a Permitted Encumbrance and which was not revealed by the initial Commitment or the Updated Survey), and (ii) the Closing Date, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, to any item that becomes of record after the date of the initial Commitment.

(ii)       Except as set forth in Section 7(a)(iii) below, it is expressly understood that in no event shall Seller be required to bring any action or institute any proceeding, or to otherwise incur any costs or expenses in order to attempt to eliminate any Title Objections or to otherwise cause the cure, removal or satisfaction of any Title Objections. Within two (2) Business Days following receipt of Purchaser’s written notice of Title Objections, Seller shall notify Purchaser whether Seller intends to cure, remove or satisfy any of the Title Objections or whether Seller is unable or unwilling to cure any of the Title Objections (“Seller’s Response Notice”). Failure by Seller to deliver a Seller’s Response Notice shall be deemed an election by Seller to not cure any of the Title Objections. If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to cure any of the Title Objections, then Purchaser shall either: (1) notify Seller in writing of its intention to either terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, or (2) proceed to Closing and accept title to Premises subject to the Title Objections, without any abatement of the Purchase Price, or any liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of such Title Objections. In the event Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its intention to either terminate or close over such Title Objections within two (2) Business Days following receipt (or deemed receipt) of Seller’s Response Notice, then Purchaser shall be

 

12


deemed to have elected to close the transactions contemplated hereunder, subject to the Title Objections (without any abatement of the Purchase Price, or any liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of such Title Objections, except as expressly provided in Section 7(a)(i) above).

(iii)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be obligated to (1) satisfy all the requirements listed Exceptions 19, 21, 22 and 23 in Schedule B-Part Two of the Commitment that are the obligation of Seller under this Agreement, (2) remove all mortgages and other financing documents affecting the Premises which were created by Seller, including, without limitation, removal of Exceptions 4, 5, 6 and the SNDAs referenced in Exceptions 9, 10 and 11 in Schedule B-Part Two of the Commitment and (3) remove or satisfy all other mechanics liens and all judgment liens affecting the Premises, which were voluntarily caused or created by Seller, (all such liens referred to in this subsection (3) being referred to collectively as, “Monetary Liens”); provided, however, that Seller shall not have the obligation to remove any Monetary Liens unless such Monetary Lien is an ascertainable, fixed amount, and the cost of removing (by bonding or otherwise) same shall not exceed an aggregate amount of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND and 00/100 DOLLARS ($200,000.00) (the “Monetary Lien Cap Amount”) together with all other Monetary Liens. If Seller is required or elects to remove a Monetary Lien pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to postpone the Closing for a period of thirty (30) days in order to endeavor to remove such Monetary Lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Title Company is willing to insure over such Monetary Lien (without additional cost to Purchaser) by permitting Seller to provide an escrow deposit, then Seller shall not be required to remove such Monetary Lien; provided, that Seller shall not be permitted to make an escrow deposit amount which exceeds $2,500,000.00 without Purchaser’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If a Monetary Lien can be removed (by bonding or otherwise) but Seller elects not to remove any of such Monetary Lien(s) because the cost of removing same, or the associated liability to the bonding company, plus the cost of obtaining the bond exceeds the Monetary Lien Cap Amount, then Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole discretion, proceed to the Closing and accept payment of up to the Monetary Lien Cap Amount (but without any other modifications to this Agreement) or terminate this Agreement upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice and receive a refund of the Deposit. If the cost of removing any Monetary Lien(s), in the aggregate, is less than the Monetary Lien Cap Amount, Seller shall, at its sole option, either remove such item or pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the reasonable cost to remove same (up to the Monetary Lien Cap Amount).

(iv)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Seller is unable either to (1) eliminate the Title Objections by the Scheduled Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), unless the same are waived in writing by Purchaser (with no obligation to do so) without any abatement in the Purchase Price, or (2) remove its existing mortgage and other financing documents affecting the Premises as required under Section 7(a)(iii)(2) above because the required 30-day period advance written notice of payoff has not been satisfied or waived by Seller’s lender, then Seller may, upon prior notice (“Title Cure Notice”) to Purchaser, adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days (“Title Cure Period”), in order to attempt to eliminate such exceptions.

 

13


(v)       Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute any warranty, representation or agreement by Seller as to the location of separate lots in, or acreage of, the Premises.

(vi)       The extended coverage ALTA (2006) owner’s title policy to be issued Purchaser at Closing pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii) below (the “Title Policy”) shall (1) insure Purchaser in the amount of the Purchase Price and otherwise be in the same form as the pro forma owner’s title policy attached hereto as Exhibit 15 (the “Pro Forma Title Policy”) and (2) at Purchaser’s election, contain co-insurance and/or reinsurance (as selected by Purchaser) from one or more title companies selected by Purchaser, provided that the Title Company shall act as the lead insurer; provided, that in all events the issuance of any endorsements requested by Purchaser (whether or not attached to the Pro Forma Title Policy) shall not be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations to proceed with Closing and the Closing shall not be extended due to Purchaser’s requirements for any such endorsements. Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall pay at the Closing the cost of the base premium charges for the issuance of the Title Policy, but excluding any increase in the base premium charges in excess of $0.38 per $1,000 resulting from any such co-insurance and/or reinsurance obtained or required by Purchaser. Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, shall pay at the Closing the cost of any endorsements Purchaser may request to the Title Policy (including the cost of extended coverage over the so-called “general exceptions”, but excluding endorsements to cure any Title Objections which Seller is required to cure or has agreed to cure under this Agreement). Purchaser acknowledges that Seller makes no representation whether or not the Title Company will issue any endorsements to the Title Policy which are requested by Purchaser. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that it is relying solely upon its Title Policy. If Purchaser has a claim under its Title Policy and the subject matter of that claim also constitutes a breach of any warranty made by Seller in this Agreement, the Deed (as hereinafter defined) or any other instrument or agreement delivered pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the Closing, Purchaser agrees that it will look first to its Title Policy for recovery on such claim, and Purchaser shall not assert any claim against Seller for a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant with respect to such claim unless and until Purchaser has pursued its remedies against the Title Company to final nonappealable judgment and has not been made whole, except to the extent a claim against Seller would be time-barred by operation of this Agreement, or by applicable law, to permit such action to be so concluded in which event, unless Seller expressly agrees to toll any such time periods, Purchaser may pursue a simultaneous action against Seller. The provisions of this Section 7(a)(vi) shall survive Closing and delivery of the Deed.

APPORTIONMENTS.

(a)       The following shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser (based on the periods to which they relate and are applicable, and regardless when payable, except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary) as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Apportionment Date”), such that Purchaser shall be treated as the owner of the Property for purposes of prorations of income and expenses, on and after the day of Closing:

(i)       all (x) fixed or so-called base rent payment obligations (“Fixed Rents”) and (y) reimbursement obligations or payment obligations in respect of operating

 

14

(ii)      real estate taxes are to be apportioned based on Section 8(c) hereof. Sewer rents and taxes, water rates and charges (to the extent not accounted for pursuant to clause (i) above or (iii) below), vault charges and taxes, business improvement district taxes and assessments and any other governmental taxes, charges or assessments levied or assessed against the Premises (collectively, with real estate taxes, “Property Taxes”), on the basis of the respective periods for which each is assessed or imposed, are to be apportioned in accordance with Section 8(c) hereof;

(iii)      charges for all utilities (to the extent not paid directly by tenants under the Leases) and other due and unpaid operating expenses shall be paid by Seller (and apportioned if necessary) in accordance with Section 8(d) hereof;

(iv)      prepaid fees for licenses and other permits, including, without limitation, any fees payable to the City of Chicago under the Pedestrian Bridge Agreement, assigned to Purchaser at the Closing (which cover any period after the Closing);

(v)      any amounts prepaid or payable by the owner of the Property under Contracts (if any) which are to be assumed by Purchaser at Closing; and

(vi)      the annual fee payable by Metra for the year in which Closing occurs relating to the “Commuter Facilities Easement” and other rights granted to Metra under the Metra Declaration; and

(vii)    all other operating expenses with respect to the Premises to the extent such matters are customarily apportioned in connection with real estate closings of commercial properties located in downtown Chicago, Illinois.

(b)      (i) Any past due and delinquent Fixed Rents or Additional Rent owing by any tenant for any period through the Apportionment Date shall not be prorated. If, on the Apportionment Date, there are any past due Fixed Rents or Additional Rent owing by any tenant for any period through the Apportionment Date, Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect the same after the Closing Date by billing such tenant (provided Purchaser shall not be obligated to institute legal proceedings against any tenant or guarantor with regard to the same, but Seller shall retain its right to institute legal proceedings or pursue other remedies against such tenant or guarantor after the Closing Date in the event payment has not been received within sixty (60) days after Closing so long as such proceeding does not seek a termination of the Lease or eviction of such tenant). Purchaser shall not compromise or settle any such rent arrearages without Seller’s prior written consent. Any Fixed Rent and Additional Rent received (net of Purchaser’s reasonable costs of collection) from any tenant or guarantor on or after the Closing Date shall be applied in the following order of priority (without duplication):

 

15


(A) first, to current Fixed Rent and Additional Rent due and payable under such Lease, (B) second, to Fixed Rent and Additional Rent arrearages with respect to for the period following the month in which the Closing Date occurs and for all subsequent periods thereafter, (C) third, to Fixed Rent and Additional Rent arrearages with respect to the month in which the Closing Date occurs (subject to apportionment pursuant to Section 8(a) above), (D) fourth, to Fixed Rent and Additional Rent arrearages with respect to the period prior to the month in which the Closing Date occurs, and (E) all other Fixed Rent and Additional Rent collected shall belong to Purchaser, provided, however, if any Fixed Rent and/or Additional Rent payment is specifically marked or readily ascertainable as payment for a particular month during which Seller owned the Property and (x) such tenant’s Fixed Rent and/or Additional Rent was, in fact, in arrears for such month and (y) Seller has not received Fixed Rent and/or Additional Rent from said tenant for such month pursuant to this Section 8(b), then such Fixed Rent and/or Additional Rent payment shall belong to Seller (and if said Fixed Rent and/or Additional Rent payment is made by check payable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall endorse the check and promptly deliver the same to Seller). Any Fixed Rents and/or Additional Rent received directly or indirectly by Seller or Purchaser following the Apportionment Date which are the property of the other, shall be held in trust and paid to the other within ten (10) Business Days following receipt thereof.

(ii)       Except as is otherwise provided in the Leases, certain tenants under Leases pay their proportionate share of Additional Rent, which in most cases, provides for payments of monthly estimates with an adjustment at the end of each fiscal year applicable to such Additional Rent. Additional Rent is determined, in most cases, with respect to a fiscal year commencing January 1, and ending December 31. All amounts received by Seller as interim payments of Additional Rent before the Closing Date shall be prorated between the Seller and Purchaser, based on a year-to-date reconciliation completed by Seller’s property manager, of the actual Additional Rent collected by Seller to the underlying operating expenses to which they relate. If, as of Closing, Seller has received Additional Rent in excess of the expenses incurred by Seller which are reimbursable as Additional Rent prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall receive a credit in the amount of such excess at Closing. If, as of the Closing Date, Seller has incurred expenses reimbursable as Additional Rent in excess of the amount of Additional Rent actually received from tenants, Seller shall receive a credit in the amount of such deficiency at Closing. As soon as practicable after the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall fully cooperate with one another in good faith re-prorating such Additional Rent at the time that such estimates are actually adjusted or reconciled pursuant to the term of the Leases. Any amounts due by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, from such re-proration shall be paid within fifteen (15) Business Days after the same is determined (except that any amounts due by Purchaser that is to be paid by tenants shall not be payable to Seller until Purchaser collects the same from such tenants).

(c)       Property Taxes shall be apportioned on a cash basis, such that Property Taxes for the Premises for the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the Closing occurs (which are due and payable in the calendar year in which the Closing occurs) (the “Apportioned Property Taxes”) shall be prorated on the basis of 100% of the most recent ascertainable full-year tax bill for the Premises, it being agreed that Property Taxes for the Premises for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs (which are due and payable in the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Closing occurs) and subsequent years shall not be prorated and shall be the sole responsibility of Purchaser. If the Closing Date shall

 

16


occur before the issuance of a full-year tax bill for the Apportioned Property Taxes, the Property Taxes shall be reprorated by the parties within ten (10) Business Days after the issuance of the actual tax bill and Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall make an appropriate payment to the other based on such recalculation. Seller hereby expressly reserves the right to continue, commence and conduct any tax abatement or reduction proceedings relating to the Premises in respect of real estate taxes for the calendar year 2012 (due and payable in the calendar year 2013) (subject to apportionment as stated below) and for all prior real estate tax years, subject to Seller’s compliance under the Leases for reconciliation with the tenants of any amount of tax abatement or refunds obtained, and Purchaser shall have the right to commence and conduct any tax abatement or reduction proceedings relating to the Premises for the calendar year 2013 (due and payable in the calendar year 2014) and all subsequent years, subject to Purchaser’s compliance under the Leases for reconciliation with the tenants of any amount of tax abatement or refunds obtained. Seller shall not have the right to contest or appeal any assessments or real estate taxes for the year 2013 (due and payable in the calendar year 2014). Seller shall have the sole right and discretion to compromise or settle any tax certiorari or reduction proceedings relating to the Premises for the calendar year 2012 (due and payable in the calendar year 2013) and all prior real estate tax years, subject to Seller’s compliance under the Leases for reconciliation with the tenants of any amount of tax abatement or refunds obtained. Purchaser agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller in all such proceedings at no cost, expense, liability or potential liability to Purchaser. As between Purchaser and Seller (subject to the rights, if any, of tenants under the Leases), real estate tax refunds for periods prior to the calendar year 2012 (due and payable in the calendar year 2013), shall be the sole property of Seller. As between Purchaser and Seller (subject to the rights, if any, of tenants under the Leases), real estate tax refunds for periods the calendar year 2013 (due and payable in the calendar year 2014) and subsequent calendar years shall be the sole property of Purchaser. Real estate tax refunds and credits received after the Closing Date which are attributable to the calendar year 2012 (due and payable in the calendar year 2013) shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser, after deducting the expenses of collection thereof. To the extent received by either party, sums payable to the other party hereunder shall be held by the receiving party as a trust fund, and remitted to the other party within ten (10) Business Days of receipt.

(d)       To the extent the same are not paid directly by tenants under the Leases, Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that the amounts of all telephone, electric, gas, steam, sewer, water bills, trash removal bills, and janitorial and maintenance service bills (collectively, “Utilities”) relating to the Property and allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be determined and paid by Seller before Closing, if possible, or shall be paid thereafter by Seller or adjusted between Purchaser and Seller after the same have been determined. Seller shall attempt to have all utility meters read as of one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall promptly pay all unpaid bills, which obligation shall survive Closing. Seller shall further attempt to obtain from the provider of same, all other service statements and bills of account.

(e)       Leasing Commissions (as defined below) and Tenant Inducement Costs (as defined below) payable with respect to any Leases shall be allocated as set forth in this Section 8(e) between Seller and Purchaser.

 

17


(i)       Seller shall be responsible only for payment of (x) all Leasing Commissions and Tenant Inducement Costs, including, without limitation, rent abatement concessions whether attributable to periods occurring prior to or after the Closing, under any Lease documents executed and in existence as of October 3, 2013 (lists of which are attached hereto as Schedules E and K), but expressly excluding the obligation to re-carpet, repaint or replace wall coverings under the GSA Leases if the GSA has not given written notice of the need thereof prior to the Closing Date, and (y) all Leasing Commissions and/or Tenant Inducement Costs due and payable in connection with those Pending Lease Transactions (as hereinafter defined) listed on Schedule N attached hereto which have been finalized and completed pursuant to written Lease documentation as of the Closing Date (the “Finalized Pending Lease Transactions”). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Seller be responsible for, or to pay or give Purchaser credit for, (A) the cost to re-carpet, repaint or replace wall coverings under the GSA leases if the GSA has not given written notice of the need thereof prior to the Closing Date, (B) Leasing Commissions and/or Tenant Improvement Costs, including, without limitation, rent abatement concessions, arising in connection with, or granted under, any new Leases, any amendments to existing Leases or any options, extensions, renewals, expansions or any other obligations of the landlord exercised or executed on or after October 3, 2013 under existing Leases other than for the Finalized Pending Lease Transactions, or (C) costs for any capital improvements and repairs to the Premises other than as may be set forth in the Finalized Pending Lease Transactions (and also subject to the terms of Sections 8(g) and 10(c) below). To the extent that Seller has not paid any of the Tenant Improvements Costs and/or Leasing Commission for which it is expressly responsible hereunder as of the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing against the Purchase Price for any such unpaid amounts and Purchaser shall assume, in writing, the obligation to pay any such unpaid amounts.

In connection therewith, Seller shall retain liability for the payment of any Leasing Commissions and/or Tenant Inducement Costs (x) due and payable in connection with the Finalized Pending Lease Transactions, (y) contained in new Leases or any amendments to existing Leases exercised or executed on or after October 3, 2013 in violation of the terms of Section 10(b)(i) of this Agreement and (z) arising under any options, extensions, renewals, expansions or any other

If, as of the Closing Date, Seller shall have paid any Tenant Inducement Costs and/or Leasing Commissions for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller therefor at Closing.

(iii)       Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that pursuant to Section 4 of the first amendment to the Lease with National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA. (“NUFIC”), the landlord thereunder has the option to elect to pay NUFIC the amount of any then-remaining rent abatement (the “NUFIC Rent Abatement Payment”), whereupon any rent abatement that was scheduled to occur thereafter under the NUFIC Lease shall have no further force or effect, and the original NUFIC Lease shall be deemed amended to delete the rent abatement following the date of such election by the landlord (the “NUFIC Rent Abatement Payment Option”). Without altering or modifying the allocation of Tenant Improvements Costs agreed to by Seller and Purchaser pursuant to Sections 8(e)(i) and (ii) above, Seller agrees that Seller shall deliver to NUFIC at Closing a letter exercising the NUFIC Rent Abatement Payment Option (the “NUFIC Abatement Notice Letter”), and (c) at Closing, Seller shall pay the NUFIC Rent Abatement Payment directly to NUFIC (through a wire transfer from the Escrow Agent).

(iv)       For purposes hereof, “Tenant Inducement Costs” shall mean any out-of-pocket payments required under a Lease to be paid by the landlord thereunder (including the cost of work to be performed by or on behalf of the landlord) to or for the benefit of the tenant thereunder, which is in the nature of a tenant inducement or concession, including, without limitation, tenant improvement costs, and other work allowances, lease buyout costs, free rental periods, legal fees and expenses and moving allowances, and the term “Leasing Commissions” shall mean any leasing commission payable to any broker in connection with a Lease for the initial term of such Lease or in connection with any renewal, or extension period and/or expansion option under a Lease.

(v)       For purposes of this Agreement, Seller and Buyer hereby agree that the cost to re-carpet, repaint or replace wall coverings as may be required by the landlord under the GSA Leases shall be set and valued at $5.00 per rentable square foot of the applicable premises.

(f)       Purchaser shall have no right to receive any rental insurance proceeds which relate to the period prior to the Closing Date and, if any such proceeds are delivered to Purchaser, Purchaser shall, within ten (10) Business Days following receipt thereof, pay the same to Seller.

(g)       To the extent that Seller has entered into and executed one or more written contracts or work authorizations prior to Closing for the performance of capital improvements and repairs to the Premises (a “Capital Repair Item”) that do not constitute Required Work (governed by Section 10(c) below) or Tenant Inducement Costs (governed by Section 8(e)

 

19


above), and said Capital Repair Item has not been fully completed and/or paid for as of the Closing Date, then (1) to the extent any such contract or work authorization is written on a fixed-fee basis, Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing against the Purchase Price for the remaining unpaid amount for such Capital Repair Item based on the contract price payable by Seller under the executed contract(s) or work authorization(s) (regardless of when the work, services or other obligations were performed or are to be performed), (2) to the extent any such contract or work authorization is written on a guaranteed maximum price basis, Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing against the Purchase Price for the remaining unpaid amount for such Capital Repair Item based on the maximum contract price payable by Seller under the executed contract(s) or work authorization(s) (regardless of when the work, services or other obligations were performed or are to be performed), subject to reproration as provided in subsection (5) below (items (1) and (2) above being referred to herein as the “Pre-Closing Capital Costs”), (3) Seller shall provide Purchaser with such information and documentation as is reasonably requested by Purchaser, including, without limitation, a contractor’s certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 13 so long as the fee payable under such contract or work authorization exceeds $100,000.00, relating to the progress of such Capital Repair Item and costs paid, or due and payable, for such Capital Repair Item, (4) at Closing, Purchaser shall assume in writing (which may be as part of the Assignment and Assumption of Leases, Contracts, Pedestrian Bridge Agreement and Metra Declaration referenced in Section 18(c)(ii) hereof) the existing contract(s) or work authorization(s) relating to such Capital Repair Item and the obligation to pay any such remaining unpaid amounts for which Purchaser was given a credit at Closing, and (5) with respect to any contract or work authorization assumed by Purchaser that is written on a guaranteed maximum price basis and is completed under the guaranteed maximum price, then promptly after the completion of the work related to such Capital Repair Item, Seller and Purchaser shall re-prorate the credit given to Purchaser at Closing based on the final total amount due and payable to the contractor. Seller agrees not to enter into any contract or work authorization for a Capital Repair Item that is not on a fixed fee or guaranteed maximum price basis.

(h)       At or prior to the Closing, Seller and Purchaser, and/or their respective agents or designees, shall each deposit with Escrow Agent executed counterparts to a settlement statement consistent with this Agreement in the form customarily used by the Escrow Agent for transactions in the Chicago metropolitan area (the, “Closing Statement”) which will show the net amount due either to Seller or to Purchaser as the result of the adjustments and prorations provided for herein, and such net due amount will be added to or subtracted from the cash balance of the Purchase Price to be paid to Seller at the Closing pursuant to Section 3 hereof, as applicable. Except with respect to Property Taxes (which will be reprorated upon receipt of actual bills) and Additional Rent (which shall be reprorated in accordance with the terms of Section 8(b)(ii) above), Seller and Purchaser agree that if the final determination of the adjustments and prorations provided for herein are not capable of being determined at or prior to the Closing, then Seller and Purchaser shall allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis on or before June 30, 2014, and the net amount due Seller or Purchaser, if any, by reason of adjustments to any Closing Statement, shall be paid in cash by the party obligated therefor within ten (10) Business Days following that parties’ final determinations. The adjustments, prorations and determinations agreed to by Seller and Purchaser shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. Prior to and following the Closing Date, each party shall provide the other with such information as the other shall reasonably request (including, without limitation, access to

 

20


the books, records, files and ledgers) information and data with respect to the Property during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice in order to make the preliminary and final adjustments and prorations provided for herein.

(i)       From the Closing Date until such time as the amounts due to each other are fully resolved and reconciled, the parties shall, from time to time, share such accounting as is reasonable under the circumstances to fully resolve all prorations provided for under this Section 8. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the Closing.

 

  9.

PROPERTY NOT INCLUDED IN SALE.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is expressly agreed by the parties hereto that any fixtures, furniture, furnishings, equipment or other tangible or intangible personal property (including, without limitation, trade fixtures in, on, around or affixed to the Building) owned or leased by Metra, any tenant, or by any managing agent, leasing agent, contractor, or employee at the Premises, shall not be included in the Property to be sold to Purchaser hereunder.

 

  10.

COVENANTS; PRECLOSING RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF SELLER.

(a)       From the Effective Date until the Closing Date, Seller shall:

(i)       maintain in full force and effect the casualty insurance policies in effect with respect to the Premises as of the Effective Date, or policies providing similar coverage at the same levels, subject to customary exceptions at the time of renewal or issuance, which, without limitation, may not insure against acts of terrorism, war (declared or undeclared), or the like, and shall deliver to Purchaser, upon request, reasonable evidence of same including certificates of such insurance;

(ii)       operate and manage the Property in a manner consistent with Seller’s current practice; provided, however, subject to Sections 8(g) and 10(c) hereof, Seller shall not be obligated to perform, or pay for, any capital improvements or capital repairs at the Premises ; and

(iii)       except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section 10(b) below, not grant, create or consent to the imposition of any new lien or encumbrance upon the Property without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion.

(b)       From the Effective Date until the Closing Date, Seller shall refrain from, except as permitted herein, without Purchaser’s prior approval, which may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion:

(i)       terminating, cancelling, amending or modifying any existing Lease, or entering into any new Lease for space at the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser’s approval rights under this Section 10(b) shall not apply to, and Purchaser shall have no approval rights whatsoever over, the following: (1) the termination of any Lease as a result of the tenant’s default thereunder, (2) amendments or modifications to existing Leases in

 

21


connection with the exercise by a tenant of any existing expansion, contraction, right of first offer, right of first renewal, renewal or early termination right set forth in, in accordance with and which Seller is contractually required to permit under the terms of any such Lease (provided, however that Seller shall in all events give Purchaser executed copies of any such amendments or modifications), and (3) documentation to evidence and finalize the leasing transactions currently pending as of the Effective Date and set forth on Schedule N attached hereto (the “Pending Lease Transactions”); provided that no changes may be made to the draft documentation provided to Purchaser regarding the Pending Lease Transactions except with Purchaser’s consent in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 10(b);

(ii)       amending or modifying (other than non-material amendments or modifications or amendments and/or modifications which do not survive the Closing) or renewing any of the Contracts that will survive the Closing; provided that such prior approval shall not be required with respect to any Contracts that are terminable, without premium or penalty, on not more than thirty (30) days’ notice;

(iii)       entering into any new Contracts which are not terminable, without premium or penalty, on not more than thirty (30) days’ notice; or

(iv)       amending or modifying the Pedestrian Bridge Agreement or the Metra Declaration (it being acknowledged and agreed that neither the Pedestrian Bridge Agreement nor the Metra Declaration shall be terminated by Seller without Purchaser’s prior approval, which may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion).

Seller shall promptly provide Purchaser with a fully executed copy of any new Lease or amendment to existing Lease approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, together with a copy (to the extent in Seller’s possession or control) of any tenant broker’s commission agreement related to such new Lease or amendment to existing Lease. Purchaser expressly acknowledges that there can be no assurance that any Lease will be in place and binding against the applicable tenant at the time of the Closing, and that the termination of any of the Leases prior to Closing by reason of (1) the expiration of its term, (2) the default of the tenant thereunder, or (3) a failure of a proposed tenant for a proposed Lease to follow through with the execution thereof as of the Closing, shall not excuse Purchaser from its obligation to complete Closing and to pay the full Purchase Price.

(c)       Prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right at its option, but not the obligation, to make (A) capital improvements or capital repairs required by law, or (B) capital improvements or capital repairs which may be required in the event of an emergency to preserve the Property (collectively, “Required Work”) without Purchaser’s prior approval. In the event that Seller deems it necessary to perform Required Work, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Purchaser of such Required Work as soon as practicable. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 8(e) above, in the event Seller elects to perform any Required Work, then the cost of such Required Work shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser based upon the number of days of the projected useful life of such Required Work that Seller owned the Property after each of the Required Work were made, on the one hand, with Purchaser responsible for the remainder of the projected useful life of each of such Required Work, on the other. If such Required Work is not completed and paid for prior to Closing, then, no later than

 

22


three (3) Business Days prior to Closing, Seller shall provide Purchaser with such information and documentation as is reasonably requested by Purchaser, including, without limitation, a contractor’s certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 13 so long as the fee payable under such contract or work authorization for the Required Work exceeds $100,000.00, relating to the progress of such Required and costs paid, or due and payable, for such Required Work, and, at Closing, Purchaser shall assume in writing (which may be as part of the Assignment and Assumption of Leases, Contracts, Pedestrian Bridge Agreement and Metra Declaration referenced in Section 18(c)(ii) hereof) the existing contract(s) or work authorization(s) relating to such Required Work and the obligation to pay any such remaining unpaid amounts as apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as provided in this Section 10(c).

(d)       At the Closing, Seller (i) shall credit to Purchaser the amount of cash Security Deposits then held by Seller in the amounts referenced on Schedule J attached hereto and not (x) applied to defaults that have occurred and are continuing for a period of sixty (60) days, (y) applied by Seller or returned to tenants in connection with a termination of any such tenants’ Leases or the termination of such tenants’ right of possession thereunder or (z) otherwise applied by Seller or returned to tenants in accordance with the terms of such tenants’ Leases. At Closing, Seller shall cooperate to execute and delivery such documentation (which documentation shall be prepared by Purchaser and submitted to Seller for review prior to Closing) as is necessary to transfer or cause to be transferred to Purchaser the unapplied Security Deposits then held by Seller in the form of a letter of credit or any form other than cash (provided that such documentation shall be held at the Property and shall not be deposited into escrow with the Escrow Agent). To the extent that any Security Deposit which is comprised of a letter of credit or other non-cash security is not transferable as of the Closing for any reason, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other following the Closing so as to transfer the same to Purchaser or to obtain a replacement letter of credit with respect thereto in favor of Purchaser and, in either case, Purchaser shall upon receipt thereof assume Seller’s obligations with respect to such Security Deposit pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser. Until any such letter of credit shall be transferred or replaced, Seller shall hold the same in trust for the benefit of Purchaser and shall draw upon the same and deliver the proceeds to Purchaser or return the same to the applicable tenant, in each case only upon Purchaser’s request, provided that Seller is legally permitted to do so and same does not require Seller to make an untrue statement or representation, and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller from any and all loss, cost, damage, liability or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and disbursements) incurred by Seller as a result of any such actions taken by Seller at Purchaser’s written request. In the event any tenant under a Lease in existence at Closing is not required to pay for, or does not pay for, the cost of any fees and charges imposed by the issuer(s) to effect a transfer its non-cash Security Deposit, then Seller and Purchaser shall equally split for the cost of any such applicable fees and charges for such transfer. Purchaser shall assume all obligations under applicable law with respect to all Security Deposits actually delivered to Purchaser or for which Purchaser received a credit at Closing. The provisions of this Section 10(d) shall survive the Closing.

(e)       Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, whenever in this Agreement Seller is required to obtain Purchaser’s approval with respect to any transaction described therein, Purchaser shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, within three

 

23


(3) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s request therefor, notify Seller of its approval or disapproval of same. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its approval or disapproval within said three (3) Business Day period, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the same.

(f)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) Seller will terminate at Closing its existing property management and/or leasing agreement for the Premises and the MB Property Management Leases, and (ii) Seller will terminate at Closing, all other Contracts that are terminable on not more than thirty (30) days’ notice without payment of any penalty or termination, that Purchaser advises Seller in writing prior to expiration of the Inspection Period that it elects to be terminated; provided, however, to the extent that any required termination notice periods under such other Contracts have not expired as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall assume any such Contracts at Closing for the period until such notice period has expired. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Purchaser will be required to assume all of Seller’s duties and obligations, if any, under the Union Contracts (as hereinafter defined).

(g)       Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Metra to duly execute and deliver to Purchaser on or before Closing an estoppel certificate with respect to the Metra Declaration (the “Metra Declaration Estoppel Certificate”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9) or such other form as is willing to be delivered by Metra, which in all events shall be completed based upon the applicable actual facts and circumstances. Purchaser acknowledges that under the terms of the Metra Declaration, Metra is under no obligation to provide the Metra Declaration Estoppel Certificate or any other estoppel certificate, and accordingly that receipt of the Metra Declaration Estoppel Certificate shall not be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations to proceed with Closing.

(h)       Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the counterparty to the Pedestrian Bridge Agreement to duly execute and deliver to Purchaser on or before Closing an estoppel certificate with respect to the Pedestrian Bridge Agreement (the “Pedestrian Bridge Estoppel Certificate”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 12 or such other form as is willing to be delivered by such counterparty, which in all events shall be completed based upon the applicable actual facts and circumstances. Purchaser acknowledges that under the terms of the Pedestrian Bridge Agreement, the counterparty to the Pedestrian Bridge Agreement is under no obligation to provide the Pedestrian Bridge Estoppel Certificate or any other estoppel certificate, and accordingly that receipt of the Pedestrian Bridge Estoppel Certificate shall not be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations to proceed with Closing. For purposes of this Section 10(h), “commercially reasonable efforts” shall mean a one-time request by Seller to the counterparty to the Pedestrian Bridge Agreement to execute the Pedestrian Bridge Estoppel Certificate with no further requests or follow-up required by Seller unless otherwise agreed to by Seller in its sole and absolute discretion.

(i)       Seller agrees that upon the request of Purchaser, Seller shall deliver to tenants of the Property the form of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement required by Buyer’s lender (“SNDAs”) and shall request that such tenants execute and return the SNDAs prior to Closing; provided, however, that it shall not be a condition to Closing that Seller deliver to Purchaser the executed SNDAs and Seller’s failure to deliver the executed SNDAs to

 

24


Purchaser shall not constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement. Purchaser shall be responsible for preparing the forms of the SNDAs to be delivered to any tenant and submitting the same to Seller for delivery to the tenants.

(j)       Seller shall (i) remain an entity in good standing in the State of Illinois and not legally dissolve at any time prior to the later of the occurrence of (A) and (B) in clause (ii) immediately following, and (ii) maintain a minimum liquid net worth of at least THREE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($3,000,000.00), subject to increase as provided below, until the later of (A) expiration of the Survival Period (as hereinafter defined) and (B) the date of final, non-appealable dismissal or final resolution of any court action between Purchaser and Seller filed by Purchaser prior to the date that is forty-five (45) days after the expiration of the Survival Period. In the event (1) the Illinois Tax Certificate, the County Notice and/or City Notice are delivered prior to Closing Date or the Closing Extension Period, as applicable, and (2) any of the Illinois Tax Certificate, the County Notice and/or City Notice disclose outstanding liabilities or require the holdback of sales proceeds or other funds and (3) Seller elects to provide Purchaser with an indemnity agreement at Closing as permitted under Section 18(d)(iii)(3), then the minimum net worth required to be maintained by Seller under this Section 10(j) shall be increased by an amount equal to disclosed outstanding liabilities or holdback amount set forth in the Illinois Tax Certificate, the County Notice and/or City Notice until such time as release letters are issued by the applicable governmental entities confirming the satisfaction of the prior outstanding liabilities, at which time the minimum liquid net worth requirement hereunder shall be reduced back to $3,000,000.00. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall any of the officers, directors, trustees, managers, members, partners or investment managers of Seller have any liability whatsoever to Purchaser or the Purchaser Related Parties under the terms of this Section 10(j). The terms of this Section 10(j) shall survive the Closing for the period of time set forth in this paragraph.

 

  11.

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING.

(a)       Purchaser’s obligation to close the transactions hereunder shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, provided that Purchaser, at its election, upon written notice delivered to Seller at or prior to the Closing, may waive all or any of such conditions (and in the absence of such satisfaction or waiver, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser):

(i)       Purchaser shall have received from Seller, no later than three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, fully executed Approved Estoppels (as defined below), dated not earlier than forty-five (45) days prior to Closing (provided, that if Purchaser elects to extend the Scheduled Closing Date pursuant to Section 19(a) below, the Approved Estoppels may be dated not earlier than sixty (60) days prior to Closing), from (a) all Major Tenants and (b) not less than eighty percent (80%), in the aggregate (the “Required Percentage”), of the net rentable office and retail square footage (but not leased rooftop, storage, parking, advertising facility, telecommunications or mechanical room square footage) leased by the remaining Tenants (exclusive of the square footage leased under the MB Property Management Leases) in the Building as of the Effective Date (collectively, the “Remaining Tenants”); provided, however, that if any tenant (including, without limitation, any tenant under a GSA Lease) is required or permitted under the terms of its Lease (or with respect to the tenants under the GSA Leases,

 

25


under applicable law or regulation) to provide a different form of estoppel, provide less information or to otherwise make different statements in a certification of such nature than are set forth on the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, then Purchaser shall accept any such alternate form. In the event that Purchaser receives a Prepared Estoppel to which it reasonably objects, Purchaser shall deliver written notice of such objection to Seller (an “Estoppel Objection Notice”) within three (3) Business Days of its receipt of such Prepared Estoppel. Purchaser agrees that it shall not be reasonable to object to any Prepared Estoppel: (1) which includes the insertion by a tenant of “knowledge”, “no written notice” or other similar qualifier into all or any of paragraphs 1 (with respect to full force and effect of the Lease only), 2, 3 (with respect to the rentable square footage of the leased premises only), 10 and 11, (2) which contains or reveals minor or non-material technical or de minimis breaches, contradictions or modifications, (3) which discloses or reveals any breach or default which has been disclosed by Seller to Purchaser on Schedule I attached hereto, or (4) which includes the insertion by tenant of language stating to the effect that nothing in its estoppel certificate shall be deemed to alter or modify any of the terms and conditions of its Lease. Failure of Purchaser to timely deliver an Estoppel Objection Notice shall be deemed a waiver of Purchaser’s right to object hereunder and such Prepared Estoppel shall be deemed an Approved Estoppel for all purposes under this Section 11(a)(i) and applied to the Required Percentage. If Purchaser timely delivers a valid Estoppel Objection Notice and Seller is unwilling or unable to provide an Approved Estoppel curing the objections set forth in the Estoppel Objection Notice, then the Prepared Estoppel objected to in the Estoppel Objection Notice shall be deemed disapproved for purposes of this Section 11(a)(i). Seller agrees to remit a Prepared Estoppel to each of the office and retail tenants under the Leases other than the MB Property Management Leases; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to bring any actions against any tenant or to pay any amounts to any tenants to obtain an Approved Estoppel for such tenants. In addition, Seller agrees to use commercially reasonably efforts to provide Purchaser with a copy of each Prepared Estoppel concurrently with the delivery of the same to each tenant. As used herein, “Prepared Estoppel” shall mean the estoppel certificates prepared and delivered by Seller to each Major Tenant and Remaining Tenant, which shall be based on the form of estoppel certificate attached hereto as Exhibit 1. Prepared Estoppels approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser as provided above are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Approved Estoppels”.

(ii)      Seller shall have executed and delivered to Purchaser all of the Closing Documents (as hereinafter defined) required of Seller under this Agreement.

(iii)     The Title Company (and co-insurer and/or reinsurer, if applicable) is ready, willing and able and irrevocably committed to issue to Purchaser the Title Policy for the Premises, subject only to receipt of payment of the title premium and charges therefor and the Permitted Encumbrances, and as required pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(iv)     Seller shall have performed in all material respects all of its covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement and shall not be in default thereunder.

(v)      Except for (1) those representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 13(a) that become untrue in the ordinary course of business but do not

 

26


disclose a material, adverse effect on Seller and/or the Property (it being agreed that no material, adverse effect shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder as a result of the natural expiration of the term of a Lease or Contract or of the exercise of an expansion, contraction, renewal, early termination or other similar right of tenant under the express terms and provisions of a Lease or Contract), and/or (2) those representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 13(a) that become untrue due to events or actions expressly provided for in this Agreement, all of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 13(a) of this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (it is noted for avoidance of doubt that (whether or not the same constitutes a default by Seller) if any such representations or warranties are not so true and correct in all material respects, it shall be deemed a failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligations but it shall not also be deemed a default by Seller if any such representations or warranties (which were true when made) have become untrue after the date hereof due to any reason other than an improper act or omission to act of Seller which act or omission violates the obligations of Seller under this Agreement).

(vi)       Seller shall have satisfied the terms and conditions related to the NUFIC Rent Abatement Payment Option required under Section 8(e)(iii) hereof.

Purchaser acknowledges that Seller does not guarantee the satisfaction of any of the conditions precedent listed above in clauses (i) (other than Seller’s agreement to remit a Prepared Estoppel to each of the office and retail tenants under the Leases other than the MB Property Management Leases), (iii) and (v) of this Section 11(a), and that Seller’s failure to satisfy such conditions (for any reason other than Seller’s bad faith or improper act in violation or breach of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement) shall not be deemed to be a default hereunder but rather, same shall merely be a failure of a condition to Closing, in which event Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit, or to close and waive the failed condition(s) and proceed with Closing. Further, at Seller’s election, Seller shall be permitted to extend the Closing Date for any period of time up to twenty (20) days in order to satisfy the condition for delivery of Approved Estoppels set forth in Section 11(a)(i).

(b)       Seller’s obligation to close the transactions hereunder shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, provided that Seller, at its election, upon written notice delivered to Purchaser at or prior to the Closing, may waive all or any of such conditions (and in the absence of such satisfaction or waiver, subject to the terms of Section 21(a) below, Seller may terminate this Agreement and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, unless such the failure of any such condition precedent constitutes a default by Purchaser under this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be delivered, and belong, to Seller):

(i)      Purchaser shall have executed and delivered to Seller all of the Closing Documents required of Purchaser under this Agreement.

(ii)     Purchaser shall have performed in all material respects all of its covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement and shall not be in default thereunder.

 

27


(iii)       Purchaser shall be ready, willing and able to deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller through the Escrow Agent at Closing the balance of the Purchase Price and the Escrow Agent shall be ready, willing and able to deliver to Seller the Deposit.

(iv)       The representations and warranties made by Purchaser in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (it is noted for avoidance of doubt that (whether or not the same constitutes a default by Purchaser) if any such representations or warranties are not so true and correct in all material respects, it shall be deemed a failure of a condition to Seller’s obligations but it shall not also be deemed a default by Purchaser if any such representations or warranties (which were true when made) have become untrue after the date hereof due to any reason other than an improper act or omission to act of Purchaser which act or omission violates the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement).

Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that either party’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Section 11(a) or Section 11(b), as applicable, shall also constitute a default by such failing party under this Agreement if such failure occurs or arises from such failing party’s bad faith or any improper act in violation or breach of such failing party’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

  12.

FIRPTA COMPLIANCE.

Seller shall comply with the provisions of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended), as the same may be amended from time to time, or any successor or similar law. Seller acknowledges that Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a United States real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. To inform Purchaser that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a United States real property interest by Seller, Seller hereby represents and warrants that Seller is not a foreign person as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations. On the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver, or caused to be delivered, to Purchaser a certification as to Seller’s non-foreign status in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and shall comply with any temporary or final regulations promulgated with respect thereto and any relevant revenue procedures or other officially published announcements of the Internal Revenue Service of the U.S. Department of the Treasury in connection therewith.

 

  13.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

(iii)       This Agreement constitutes, and all of the Closing Documents to be delivered by Seller at the Closing will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with their terms. Seller has taken all necessary action to authorize and approve the execution and delivery of this Agreement and all of the Closing Documents to be delivered by Seller at the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iv)       To Seller’s actual knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule F attached hereto, there is no pending or threatened action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding, whether legal or administrative or in mediation or arbitration, at law or in equity against Seller, before or by any court or federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality (i) affecting the Property or (ii) which would prevent Seller from performing its material obligations under this Agreement on the Closing Date and, to Seller’s actual knowledge, there are no judgments, decrees or orders entered on a suit or proceeding against Seller, an adverse decision in which might, or which judgment, decree or order does, adversely affect Seller’s ability to perform its obligations pursuant to, or Purchaser’s rights under, this Agreement, or which seeks to restrain, prohibit, invalidate, set aside, rescind, prevent or make unlawful this Agreement or the carrying out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(v)       Attached hereto as Schedule G is a true, correct, and complete list of the Leases and all amendments and guarantees relating thereto in effect as of the Effective Date affecting the Property.

31


Data-Room Website; (4) Purchaser shall be automatically deemed to have actual knowledge of the contents of all Approved Estoppels delivered prior to the Closing Date; and (5) to the extent that Purchaser obtains or is deemed to have obtained actual knowledge prior to Closing pursuant to clauses (1), (2), (3) and/or (4) above that any of Seller’s representations or warranties were untrue when made or have become untrue, Purchaser shall be deemed to have knowledge of such misrepresentation, and Purchaser shall not have the right to bring any lawsuit or other legal action against Seller, nor pursue any other remedies against Seller, as a result of the breach of the representation caused thereby. Purchaser’s sole remedy as a result of such breach of the representation which is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice to Seller shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit (thereby waiving all rights to seek and recover Damages against Seller). Thereafter, Purchaser and Seller shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for those rights or obligations that are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof; and if, notwithstanding such breach of a representation, Purchaser elects to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its rights to recover Damages from Seller following the Closing.

(iv)     The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance by Purchaser of its obligations hereunder do not and will not conflict with or violate any law, rule, judgment, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental or

 

32


quasi-governmental entity with jurisdiction over Purchaser, including, without limitation, the United States of America, the State of Illinois or any political subdivision of either of the foregoing, or any decision or ruling of any arbitrator to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser is bound or affected, which would prevent Purchaser from performing its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

(v)      Neither Purchaser, nor any person controlling or controlled by Purchaser, is a country, territory, individual or entity named on a Government List, and the monies used in connection with this Agreement and amounts committed with respect thereto, were not and are not derived from any activities that contravene any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-bribery laws and regulations (including funds being derived from any person, entity, country or territory on a Government List or engaged in any unlawful activity defined under Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 1956(c)(7)). For purposes of this paragraph “Government List” means any of (a) the two lists maintained by the United States Department of Commerce (Denied Persons and Entities), (b) the list maintained by the United States Department of Treasury (Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons), and (c) the two lists maintained by the United States Department of State (Terrorist Organizations and Debarred Parties).

Reg. 49,079 (September 24, 2001) and does not engage in any dealings or transactions and is not otherwise associated with any such persons or entities.

(vi)      Purchaser is indirectly Controlled by Charles J. Schreiber, Jr., Peter M. Bren, Peter McMillan III, and Keith David Hall. “Controlled by” means the power and authority to direct the business and affairs of a person by reason of the ownership of a majority of the beneficial interests in such person, directly or indirectly.

Neither Purchaser is a party in interest, as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA, with respect to the General Electric Pension Trust.

(g)         All of the representations and warranties contained in Section 13(f) shall survive the Closing for the Survival Period. Each such representation and/or warranty shall automatically be null and void and of no further force and effect after the expiration of the Survival Period unless, prior to the end of the Survival Period, Seller shall have given written notice to Purchaser of such breach of a representation or warranty and within thirty (30) days of the delivery of such written notice shall have commenced a Proceeding.

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION.

(a)         If all or any part of the Premises is damaged by fire or other casualty following the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date (and not caused by the negligence of Purchaser, the Purchaser Representatives, and/or any of their affiliates), whether or not such damage affects a material part of the Premises, then:

(i)         if there is no Material Loss (as defined below), neither party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the parties shall nonetheless consummate this transaction in accordance with this Agreement, without any abatement of the Purchase Price or any liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of said destruction or damage except as set forth in the next sentence and except that the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of any deductible. In such event, Seller shall assign to Purchaser and Purchaser shall have the right to make a claim for and to retain any casualty and rent loss insurance proceeds received under the casualty insurance policies in effect with respect to the Premises on account of said physical damage or destruction as shall be necessary to perform repairs to the Premises and/or to rebuild the Premises to substantially the same condition as it existed prior to the occurrence of such fire or other casualty.

(ii)         if there is a Material Loss, Purchaser and Seller shall each have the option, exercisable within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty (and the Closing Date shall be extended as necessary to permit the full running of such 10-Business Day period), TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to the other party, whereupon the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and this Agreement shall be deemed canceled and of no further force or effect, and neither party shall have any further rights or liabilities against or to the other except for such provisions which are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof. If a fire or other casualty described in this clause (ii) shall occur, and neither party hereunder shall have timely elected to terminate this Agreement, then Purchaser and Seller shall consummate this transaction in accordance with this Agreement, without any abatement of the Purchase Price or any liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of said destruction or damage (except that the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of any deductible) and, in such event, Seller shall assign to Purchaser and Purchaser shall have the right to make a claim for and to retain any casualty insurance proceeds received under the casualty insurance policies in effect with respect to the Premises on account of said physical damage or destruction as shall be necessary to perform repairs to the Premises and/or to rebuild the Premises to substantially the same condition as it existed prior to the occurrence of such fire or other casualty.

For purposes of this Section 14(a), a “Material Loss” shall collectively mean the Property or any part thereof is damaged by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date which (i) would cost in excess of TWENTY MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($20,000,000) to repair and Seller, at its sole option, does not elect to repair the same prior to Closing, (ii) causes access to the Property to be materially adversely affected on a permanent basis, (iii) results in the

Property violating any laws or failing to comply with zoning or any covenants, conditions or restrictions affecting the Property, (iv) entitles any Major Tenant or any combination of Remaining Tenants occupying in the aggregate 40,000 or more rentable square feet of space at the Premises to terminate its Lease, and such right is not waived in writing, (v) entitles any Major Tenant or any combination of Remaining Tenants occupying in the aggregate 40,000 or more rentable square feet of space at the Premises to abate rent (which right is not waived in writing) for a period of more than two (2) months and which abatement is not fully covered by rental interruption insurance, or (vi) is not fully insured and for which Purchaser will not receive, at Seller’s election, a credit in the amount of the uninsured portion of such damage upon the Closing.

(b)         The estimated cost to repair and/or restore, as contemplated in subsection (a) above, shall be established by estimates obtained by Seller from independent contractors, subject to Purchaser’s review and reasonable approval of same and the provisions of Section 14(c) below.

(c)         Any disputes under this Section 14 as to the cost of repair or restoration shall be resolved by expedited arbitration before a single arbitrator acceptable to both Seller and Purchaser in their reasonable judgment in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, provided that, if Seller and Purchaser fail to agree on an arbitrator within five (5) days after a dispute arises, then either party may request the American Arbitration Association to designate an arbitrator. Such arbitrator shall be an independent architect or engineer having at least ten (10) years of experience in the construction of similar type class office buildings in the downtown Central Business District of Chicago, Illinois. The determination of the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. The costs and expenses of such arbitrator shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser.

(d)         Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing if the Property or any part thereof is damaged by fire or other casualty.

(e)         The provisions of this Section 14 shall survive Closing.

(i)         if such Taking does not involve a Material Taking (as defined below), neither party shall have any right to terminate this Agreement and the parties shall nonetheless consummate this transaction in accordance with this Agreement (it being understood that in the event that a portion of the Premises is taken, Seller shall be relieved of its duty to convey the title to the portion of the parcel so taken) without any abatement of the Purchase Price or any liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of said Taking, provided, however, that Seller shall, on the Closing Date (i) assign and remit to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep, the net proceeds of any award or other proceeds of such

 

35


Taking which may have been collected by Seller as a result of such Taking less the reasonable expenses incurred by Seller in connection with such Taking, or (ii) if no award or other proceeds have been collected, deliver to Purchaser an assignment of Seller’s right to any such award or other proceeds which may be payable to Seller as a result of such Taking and Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the reasonable expenses incurred by Seller in connection with such Taking.

(ii)         if such Taking involves a Material Taking, Purchaser and Seller shall each have the option, exercisable within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice of such Taking (and the Closing Date shall be extended as necessary to permit the full running of such 10-Business Day period), TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to the other party, whereupon the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and this Agreement shall be deemed canceled and of no further force or effect, and neither party shall have any further rights or liabilities against or to the other except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, which are expressly provided to survive the termination hereof. If a Taking described in this clause (ii) shall occur and neither party shall have timely elected to terminate this Agreement, then Purchaser and Seller shall consummate this transaction in accordance with this Agreement (it being understood that in the event that a portion of the Premises is taken, Seller shall be relieved of its duty to convey the title to the portion of the parcel so taken), without any abatement of the Purchase Price or any liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of such Taking, provided, however, that Seller shall, on the Closing Date, (i) assign and remit to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep, the net proceeds of any award or other proceeds of such Taking which may have been collected by Seller as a result of such Taking less the reasonable expenses incurred by Seller in connection with such Taking, or (ii) if no award or other proceeds shall have been collected, deliver to Purchaser an assignment of Seller’s right to any such award or other proceeds which may be payable to Seller as a result of such Taking and Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the reasonable expenses incurred by Seller in connection with such Taking.

(b)         Any disputes under this Section 15 as to whether the Taking constitutes a Material Taking shall be resolved by expedited arbitration before a single arbitrator acceptable to both Seller and Purchaser in their reasonable judgment in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association; provided that if Seller and Purchaser fail to agree on an

40


1.         a certificate or other written instrument issued by the Illinois Department of Revenue (the “Illinois Tax Certificate”) stating that the withholding obligations under Section 902(d) (“Section 902(d)”) of the Illinois Income Tax Act (“Act”) do not apply to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or specifying the holdback of sale proceeds which will satisfy Purchaser’s obligations under said Section 902(d) of the Act;

2.         a notice (the “County Notice”) from the Cook County Department of Revenue (the “County”) under the provisions of Section 34-92 of the Cook County Uniform Penalties, Interest and Procedures Ordinance (the “County Ordinance”) and, if available, a certificate (the “County Certificate”) from the County stating that all taxes, interest, penalties or nontax debts owed by Seller under the County Ordinance effective for all periods prior to the Closing Date have been paid in full or specifying the holdback of sale proceeds which will satisfy Purchaser’s obligations under the County Ordinance; and

3.         a written notice or other written instrument issued by the City of Chicago Department of Revenue (the “City Notice”) indicating that Purchaser has no obligation to withhold any amounts from the Purchase Price upon the transfer of the Property pursuant to the City of Chicago Bulk Sales Ordinance (Sec. 3-4-140 of the Uniform Revenue Procedures Ordinance of the Municipal Code of Chicago) (the “City Code Bulk Sales Ordinance”) or specifying the holdback of sale proceeds which will satisfy Purchaser’s obligations under the City Code Bulk Sales Ordinance.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (x) if Seller provides evidence to Purchaser that Seller has furnished the requisite notice to the Illinois Department of Revenue as required by Section 902(d) of the Act and such taxing authority has not responded with a written instrument within the time frame required by Section 902(d) of the Act, thereby releasing Purchaser of transferee liability, Seller shall be deemed to have obtained and delivered to Purchaser the Illinois Tax Certificate stating that no funds are required to be withheld, (y) if Seller provides evidence to Purchaser that Seller has furnished the requisite notice to the County as required by the applicable sections of the County Ordinance, and the County has not responded with a written notice within the time frame required under the applicable sections of the County Ordinance, thereby releasing Purchaser of any transferee liability, Seller shall be deemed to have obtained and delivered to Purchaser the County Notice stating that no funds are required to be withheld, and (z) if Seller provides evidence to Purchaser that Seller has furnished the requisite notice to the City of Chicago Department of Revenue as required by the City Code Bulk Sales Ordinance and such taxing authority has not responded with a written instrument within the time frame required by the City Code Bulk Sales Ordinance, thereby releasing Purchaser of transferee liability, Seller shall be deemed to have obtained and delivered to Purchaser the City Notice stating that no funds are required to be withheld.

(ii)         Extension of Closing Date for Failure to Receive Notices and Certificates. If the Illinois Tax Certificate, the County Notice, or the City Notice is not delivered to Purchaser as required in Section 18(d)(i) above on or before three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller may elect to extend the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days (the “Closing Extension Period”), to obtain such Illinois Tax Certificate, County Notice and/or City Notice by notifying Purchaser in writing no less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date of its election to extend the Closing Date and the number of days by which the Closing

 

41


Date will be so extended. If Seller has not delivered to Purchaser the Illinois Tax Certificate, the County Notice or the City Notice (i) prior to the Closing Date and Seller does not elect to extend the Closing Date for the Closing Extension Period as provided above, or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Closing Extension Period (if Seller extends the Closing Date for the Closing Extension Period as provided above), then Seller shall notify Purchaser which written instrument was not received by Seller and Seller may notify Purchaser that Seller will provide the Indemnity (as defined below) at Closing pursuant to option (3) in Section 18(d)(iii) below with respect to the certificate or notice not so obtained.

(iii)         Seller’s Options if Notices and/or Certificates Require the Holdback of Funds. If the Illinois Tax Certificate, the County Notice and/or City Notice are delivered prior to the Closing Date or the Closing Extension Period, as applicable, and (A) the Illinois Tax Certificate requires that funds be withheld pursuant to the terms of Section 902(d) of the Act, (B) the County Notice is delivered specifying the holdback of sale proceeds which will satisfy Purchaser’s obligations under the County Ordinance, and/or (C) the City Notice is delivered specifying the holdback of sale proceeds which will satisfy Purchaser’s obligations under the City Code Bulk Sales Ordinance, Seller may elect any of the following options, in its sole discretion:

1.         upon written notice delivered to Purchaser prior to the Closing Date (or prior to the expiration of the Closing Extension Period, as applicable) extend the Closing Date (or the Closing Extension Period, as applicable) to a date that is no more than thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of the Illinois Tax Certificate, the County Notice or the City Notice, as applicable, but in no event beyond January 24, 2014 (the “Resolution Closing Extension Period”), to resolve any issues it has with the Illinois Tax Certificate, the County Notice and/or the City Notice;

2.         proceed to Closing and deposit into escrow, pursuant to an escrow agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser (“Escrow Agreement”), cash (which may be taken from the cash balance of the Purchase Price to be delivered by Purchaser pursuant to Section 18(b)(i) above) in the amount necessary to comply with the withholding requirements imposed by Section 902(d) of the Act, the County Ordinance, and/or the City Code Bulk Sales Ordinance; as applicable (collectively, the “Required Withholding Amount”); or

3.         Seller may provide Purchaser with an indemnity agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 11, pursuant to which Seller indemnifies Purchaser with respect to all liabilities which may be imposed upon Purchaser as a result of the Section 902(d) obligations, the County Ordinance, and/or the City Code Bulk Sales Ordinance, as applicable (the “Indemnity”).

(iv)         Seller’s Rights Following Receipt of Notices and/or Certificates. If Seller elects options (2) or (3) in Section 18(d)(iii) above and subsequently obtains a written instrument from the Illinois Department of Revenue, a written instrument from the Cook County Department of Revenue, or a written instrument from the City of Chicago Department of Revenue, as applicable, indicating that Purchaser is not required to hold back any such sales proceeds, then, (i) in accordance with the express terms of the Indemnity, the Indemnity will

 

42


become null and void, or (ii) in accordance with the express terms of the Escrow Agreement, any escrowed cash with respect to the obligation covered by the applicable written instrument shall be immediately returned to Seller upon written direction by Seller to the Escrow Agent and Purchaser which is not objected to by Purchaser within three (3) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of such directive from Seller. Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller (at no cost, expense, liability or potential liability to Purchaser) to obtain the applicable written instruments and/or releases from the Illinois Department of Revenue, the Cook County Department of Revenue, and the City of Chicago Department of Revenue, as applicable.

If Seller elects option (2) in Section 18(d)(iii) above, Seller shall deposit the cash in escrow with the Escrow Agent, as escrowee, pursuant to terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, but in any event complying with Section 902(d) of the Act, the County Ordinance and/or the City Code Bulk Sales Ordinance, as applicable.

(v)         Limitations on Seller’s Right to Provide Indemnity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 18(d), if Seller elects option (3) in Section 10.8(d)(iii) above (whether pursuant to Section 18(d)(ii) or 18(d)(iii)) with respect to the obligations under Section 902(d) of the Act, the County Ordinance, and/or the City Code Bulk Sales Ordinance, as applicable, and the Required Withholding Amount is more than $3,000,000, within three (3) days after Seller elects option (3) and notifies Purchaser in writing of such election, Purchaser may by written notice to Seller indicate that Purchaser is unwilling to accept the Indemnity pursuant to option (3), failing which, Seller may provide the Indemnity with respect to the applicable obligation at Closing. If Purchaser timely furnishes such written notice to Seller stating it is unwilling to accept the option (3) Indemnity, then Seller shall have the right, by furnishing written notice to Purchaser on or prior to three (3) Business Days following receipt of such written notice from Purchaser, to either elect option (2) above (unless the Required Withholding Amount is unknown) and proceed to Closing or to terminate this Agreement (failing which, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement). If Seller elects or is deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser by the Escrow Agent, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and all further rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate (except as may otherwise expressly be set forth herein).

(vi)         Submissions by Seller to City of Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois Department of Revenue. Seller covenants and agrees that, within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller shall (i) submit to the City of Chicago Department of Revenue, Cook County Department of Revenue, and the Illinois Department of Revenue such applications and documents as are required to procure the Illinois Tax Certificate, the County Notice and the City Notice, (ii) promptly provide Purchaser copies of such applications and documents submitted to the City of Chicago Department of Revenue, Cook County Department of Revenue, and the Illinois Department of Revenue, and (iii) promptly provide to Purchaser with copies of all certificates or other written instruments (including the Illinois Tax Certificate, the County Notice, and the City Notice) received by the City of Chicago Department of Revenue, Cook County Department of Revenue, or the Illinois Department of Revenue in response to the foregoing submissions, as Seller receives the same.

 

43


(vii)         Confirmation of Conditions. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Section 18(d), as a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to acquire the Property and to consummate the Closing, Seller acknowledges and agrees that the following shall have occurred in connection with the provisions of this Section 18(d) and with respect to Section 902(d) of the Act, the County Ordinance, and the City Code Bulk Sales Ordinance:

2.         as to the County Ordinance, either (A) Purchaser has received the County and the County Notice states that no withholding is required or, if it requires withholding, (x) Seller has complied with such withholding requirements in the manner provided above in this Section 18(d) and in accordance with the County Ordinance, or (y) Seller has provided an Indemnity complying with the provisions set forth above in this Section 18(d) (including, without limitation, the requirement that Purchaser shall not be obligated to accept an Indemnity for withholding obligations under Section 902(d) of the Act, the County Ordinance, and the City Code Bulk Sales Ordinance in excess of $2,000,000 in the aggregate subject to Purchaser’s compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 18(d)(v) above); or (B) Seller has provided evidence to Purchaser that Seller has furnished the requisite notice to the Cook County Department of Revenue to obtain the County Notice and the Cook County Department of Revenue has not responded with a written instrument within the time frame required by the County Ordinance such that, as a result, Purchaser is released from any transferee liability under the County Ordinance.

DEFAULT BY PURCHASER OR SELLER.

(a)         If (x) Purchaser defaults in the payment of the Purchase Price or on its obligation to acquire the Property when it is obligated to do so under the terms of this Agreement or (y) if Purchaser shall default in the performance of any of its other obligations to be performed on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to any default under this clause (y) only, such default caused actual material damages to Seller and continues for ten (10) days after written notice to Purchaser, Seller, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and, upon such termination, Seller, in the event of a termination under subsection (x) only, shall be entitled to retain the Deposit and Extension Fee (if deposited hereunder) as liquidated damages for Purchaser’s default hereunder, it being agreed that the damages by reason of Purchaser’s default are difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and thereafter Purchaser and Seller shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for those that are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof.

(b)         If (x) Seller defaults in any of its obligations to be performed on the Closing Date or (y) Seller defaults in the performance of any of its obligations to be performed prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any default under this clause (y) only, such default caused actual material damages to Purchaser and continues for ten (10) days after written notice to Seller, Purchaser as its sole and exclusive remedy by reason thereof (in lieu of prosecuting an action for damages or proceeding with any other legal course of conduct, the right to bring such actions or proceedings being expressly and voluntarily waived by Purchaser, to the extent legally permissible, following and upon advice of counsel) shall have the right, subject to the other provisions of this Section 21(b), either (i) to seek to obtain specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder in accordance with applicable Illinois law (it being expressly

 

48


acknowledged by Purchaser that the remedy of specific performance is an appropriate remedy in the event of a default by Seller under this Agreement), provided that any action for specific performance shall be commenced within forty-five (45) days after such default, or (ii) to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit and in addition thereto, in the event Seller’s breach is willful, Seller shall pay to Purchaser any actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including title, escrow, legal, inspection fees, surveyor’s, environmental, engineering or other consultant’s fees) incurred by Purchaser’s in connection with the performance of Purchaser’s due diligence review of the Property and the negotiation and performance of this Agreement and the assumption of the Existing Loan, not to exceed a maximum of $200,000.00 in the aggregate (collectively, the “Section 21(b) Break Up Costs”), it being understood that if Purchaser fails to commence an action for specific performance within forty-five (45) days after such default, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit and, if applicable, the Section 21(b) Break Up Costs, or (iii) waive said default in writing and proceed to Closing without any reduction in the Purchase Price. Upon such return and delivery of the Deposit and, if applicable, payment of the Section 21(b) Break Up Costs, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party hereto shall have any further obligations hereunder except for those that are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof. In no event shall Seller’s direct or indirect partners, shareholders, members, managers, owners or affiliates, any officer, manager, director, employee or agent of the foregoing, or any affiliate or controlling person thereof have any liability for any claim, cause of action or other liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Property, whether based on contract, common law, statute, equity or otherwise. In no event shall Seller be liable for any special, punitive, speculative or consequential damages.

(c)         In the event either party hereto is required to employ an attorney because any litigation arises out of this Agreement between the parties hereto, the non-prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party all reasonable fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in connection with such litigation.

(d)         The provisions of this Section 21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

  22.

1031 EXCHANGE.

Seller may effect a tax-deferred exchange (each, an “Exchange”) in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue code of 1986, as amended, which Exchange will involve an exchange of another property or properties, and the Premises, so long as same does not postpone the Closing Date. Purchaser agrees to accommodate Seller by participating in the Exchange provided that (a) Purchaser shall not incur any cost, expense, liability or potential liability in connection with Seller’s Exchange, (b) Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all cost, loss, liability and expenses arising out of or in connection with Seller’s Exchange, (c) such Exchange is carried out in accordance with all applicable laws and all documentation concerning the Exchange shall be reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and its attorneys and Purchaser shall not be obligated to execute any documentation other than a simple consent or take title to any property other than the Property, (d) such Exchange does not adversely affect Purchaser in any material respect, regarding the terms and conditions of the transaction, (f) such Exchange does not have an adverse effect on title set forth

 

49


in this Agreement and (g) Purchaser is not required to enter into any agreement with (or for the benefit of) another party or accept any instrument or document from another party or execute or deliver any instrument or document to or in favor of another party. The terms and provisions of this Section 22 shall survive the Closing.

 

  23.

MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)         Whenever in this Agreement it is provided that Purchaser’s successors and/or transferees and/or assignees shall have any rights or obligations, such phrase shall be deemed to include all designees of Purchaser as well as all of the transferees, successors and assigns of Purchaser and such designees.

(b)         This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and together constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction of this Agreement may be executed by one or more parties hereto, and an executed copy of this Agreement may be delivered by one or more parties hereto by facsimile or similar instantaneous electronic transmission device pursuant to which the signature of or on behalf of such party can be seen, and such execution and delivery shall be considered valid, binding and effective for all purposes as of the date hereof.

(c)         Any consent or approval to be given hereunder (whether by Seller or Purchaser) shall not be effective unless the same shall be given in advance of the taking of the action for which consent or approval is requested and shall be in writing. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any consent or approval requested of Seller or Purchaser may be withheld by Seller or Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion.

(d)         The following provisions govern any actions for indemnity under this Agreement or any Closing Documents. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim, such indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnitor, deliver to the indemnitor written notice thereof and the indemnitor shall have the right to participate in and, if the indemnitor agrees in writing that it will be responsible for any costs, expenses, judgments, damages, and losses incurred by the indemnitee with respect to such claim, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitee, if the indemnitee reasonably believes that representation of such indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure of indemnitee to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall relieve such indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee under this indemnity if and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, and the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnitor will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnitee other than under this indemnity. If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, then the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to such claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld such consent.

 

50


(e)         Escrow Agent is hereby designated the “real estate reporting person” for purposes of Section 6045 of Title 26 of the United States Code and Treasury Regulation 1.6045-4 and any instructions or settlement statement prepared by Escrow Agent shall so provide. Upon the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall file Form 1099 information return and send the statement to Seller as required under the aforementioned statute and regulation. Seller and Purchaser shall promptly furnish their federal tax identification numbers to Escrow Agent and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Escrow Agent in connection with Escrow Agent’s duties as real estate reporting person.

(f)         In no event shall any officer, director, limited partner, member, shareholder, agent or employee of Purchaser or Seller or its respective partners be personally liable for any of the obligations of Purchaser or Seller, respectively, under this Agreement or otherwise.

(g)        This Agreement contains all of the terms agreed upon between Seller and Purchaser with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, between Seller and Purchaser are merged into this Agreement.

(h)        This Agreement may not be changed, modified or terminated, except by an instrument executed by Seller and Purchaser.

(i)         No waiver by either party of any failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply. Either party may waive any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement made for its benefit provided such waiver is in writing and signed by the party waiving such term or condition.

(j)          If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(k)         The headings of the various sections of this Agreement have been inserted only for the purposes of convenience and are not part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed in any manner to modify, explain, expand or restrict any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(l)         This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois without giving effect to conflict of laws principles thereof.

(m)        This Agreement and the various rights and obligations arising hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Seller and Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns, provided, however, that none of the representations or warranties made by Seller hereunder shall inure to the benefit of any person or entity that may succeed to Purchaser’s interest in the Property or this Agreement (other than persons or entities related to or affiliated with Purchaser or its constituent members and any Controlled Affiliate)

 

51


after the Closing Date. Further, none of Purchaser’s representations and warranties shall inure to any person or entity other than Seller.

(n)         Purchaser shall not assign or otherwise transfer (x) this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder whether prior to or after Closing or (y) prior to Closing only, any of the direct or indirect ownership interests in Purchaser, in either case without first obtaining Seller’s prior written consent thereto, provided, however, that the Purchaser named herein shall have the one-time right to assign this Agreement prior to Closing to a Controlled Affiliate (as defined below) without the consent of Seller but upon prior notice to Seller. “Controlled Affiliate” shall mean (i) any entity indirectly or directly controlling, controlled by or under common control with Purchaser, or (ii) the majority of the beneficial interests in which are owned, directly or indirectly, by Purchaser as of the date of the assignment and the Closing Date, or (iii) an entity for which Purchaser directly or indirectly serves as the investment advisor. “Controlled by” means the power and authority to direct the business and affairs of the assignee by reason of the ownership of a majority of the beneficial interests in such assignee, by contract or otherwise. Any such assignment shall be conditioned upon Purchaser delivering to Seller an executed original of the assignment and assumption agreement wherein the assignee assumes all of the obligations of the Purchaser named herein and proof reasonably satisfactory to Seller that the assignee constitutes a “Controlled Affiliate”. An assignment or transfer of this Agreement shall not relieve the Purchaser named herein of any of its obligations hereunder at any time on or prior to the Closing Date; provided, that if Purchaser’s assignee has satisfied all of the Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement as of the Closing, the Purchaser named herein shall automatically be released from any further obligation or responsibilities under this Agreement after consummation of the Closing. In addition, Purchaser shall not at or prior to the Closing re-sell the Property to any other person or entity that is not a Controlled Affiliate through a “double escrow” or other similar mechanism without Seller’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall Purchaser have the right to assign this Agreement to any person or entity owned or controlled by an employee benefit plan if Seller’s sale of the Property to such person or entity would, in the reasonable opinion of Seller’s ERISA advisors or consultants, create or otherwise cause a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA. If Purchaser assigns this Agreement or transfers any ownership interest in Purchaser, and such assignment or transfer would make the consummation of the transaction hereunder a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA and necessitate the termination of this Agreement then, notwithstanding any contrary provision which may be contained herein, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

(o)        Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum hereof may be recorded without first obtaining Seller’s prior written consent thereto which may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion.

(p)        This Agreement is an agreement solely for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser (and their permitted successors and/or assigns). No other person, party or entity shall have any rights hereunder nor shall any other person, party or entity be entitled to rely upon the terms, covenants and provisions contained herein. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have the right to delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

52


(q)        The parties hereto agree to submit to personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court located in Cook County, Illinois in any action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement and, in furtherance of such agreement, the parties hereby agree and consent that without limiting other methods of obtaining jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction over the parties in any such action or proceeding may be obtained within or without the jurisdiction of any federal or state court located in the Cook County, Illinois.

(r)         SELLER AND PURCHASER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH, OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

(s)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, whenever Seller is granted a right to extend the Closing Date under the terms of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser agree that (i) all Seller’s extension periods shall run concurrently with each other and not on a consecutive basis (i.e., “stacking” of any such extension rights shall not be permitted), (ii) each such extension period shall run for the applicable period commencing from the Scheduled Closing Date (as the same may be extended by Purchaser pursuant to Section 19(a) above), and (iii) in no event shall the Closing Date extend beyond January 24, 2014.

(t)         Seller and Purchaser each agree to take such further steps, and deliver such further documents, as are reasonably necessary in order to implement the transactions contemplated hereby, including the execution and delivery of supplemental escrow instructions to the extent reasonably requested by the Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall have any obligations to take and such steps or execute or deliver any such further documents if the same would be inconsistent in any material respect with the rights and obligations of the parties contemplated by this Agreement.

(u)        Purchaser and Seller each acknowledge that: (a) they have consulted and been represented by independent counsel in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and that it has bargaining power equal to that of the other parties hereto in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement; (b) they have executed this Agreement with the advice of such counsel; and (c) this Agreement is the result of arms length negotiations between the parties hereto and the advice and assistance of their respective counsel. Notwithstanding any rule of law to the contrary: (i) the fact that this Agreement was prepared by Seller’s counsel as a matter of convenience shall have no import or significance, and any uncertainty or ambiguity in this Agreement shall not be construed against Seller in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement because Seller’s counsel prepared this Agreement; and (ii) no deletions from prior drafts of this Agreement shall be construed to create the opposite intent of the deleted provisions.

(v)        Prior to the Closing Date, the obligations of Seller under this Agreement or directly or indirectly arising out of this Agreement shall be limited solely to Seller’s interest in the Property (including all rents, profits and proceeds thereof), and neither Purchaser nor anyone else claiming by or through Purchaser shall have any claim against any other asset of Seller or any other person. The provisions of this Section 23(v) are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other limitations on the liability of Seller set forth in this Agreement.

 

53


(w)        Acceptance by Purchaser at Closing of the Deed shall constitute an acknowledgment by Purchaser of full performance by Seller of all of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, except for the obligations of Seller which are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive Closing. Any of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement that are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive Closing or that shall imply performance or observance after the Closing Date shall survive Closing and delivery of the Deed, notwithstanding any presumption to the contrary.

(x)        The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE for the performance of all actions (including, without limitation, the giving of notices, the delivery of documents and the funding of money) required or permitted to be taken by Purchaser only under this Agreement. Subject to Section 19 hereof, whenever action must be taken (including, without limitation, the giving of notice, the delivery of documents or the funding of money) by Purchaser under this Agreement, prior to the expiration of, by no later than or on a particular date, such action must be completed by 5:00 p.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) on such date.

(y)        THE SUBMISSION OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR EXAMINATION IS NOT INTENDED TO NOR SHALL IT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL, OR A RESERVATION OF, OR OPTION OR PROPOSAL OF ANY KIND FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY. EITHER PARTY MAY TERMINATE DISCUSSIONS OR NEGOTIATIONS AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON. THE DELIVERY OF ANY DRAFT DOCUMENTS AND THE PROVISION OF ANY COMMENTS IN RESPONSE THERETO BY THE PARTIES’ COUNSEL WILL NOT PRECLUDE THE PARTIES FROM RAISING COMMENTS OR RESPONDING TO PROVISIONS, EVEN IF THOSE PROVISIONS WERE SET FORTH IN PRIOR DRAFTS OR COMMENTARY. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY DRAFT OF THIS AGREEMENT CREATE ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AND BINDING ONLY WHEN A COUNTERPART HEREOF HAS BEEN EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY EACH PARTY HERETO AND THE EARNEST MONEY IS DELIVERED TO THE TITLE COMPANY.

(z)        The provisions of this Section 23 shall survive the Closing or the termination hereof.

(a)        Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that except for the representations and warranties of Seller expressly set forth in this Agreement and in any document, certificate, or instrument delivered by Seller to Purchaser at Closing (collectively, the “Closing Documents”), Seller has not made and does not make any warranty or representation regarding the truth, accuracy, content, completeness, or suitability for any purpose, of the Confidential Information or the source(s) thereof. Except for the limited obligation of the Seller Knowledge Party to make due inquiry under Section 13(d) of this Agreement regarding matters as to which representations and warranties are made by Seller hereunder, Seller has not undertaken any independent investigation as to truth, accuracy, content,

 

54


completeness, or suitability for any purpose, of the Confidential Information, and Purchaser shall not have any recourse against Seller or any of the other Exculpated Parties (defined below) in the event of any errors therein or omissions therefrom unless that same results from a breach by Seller of any representations and warranties of Seller expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the Closing Documents. Purchaser further expressly acknowledges that, except for the representations and warranties of Seller expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the Closing Documents for the applicable survival period, neither Seller, nor any person acting on behalf of Seller, nor any person or entity which prepared or provided any of the materials reviewed by Purchaser in conducting its due diligence, nor any direct or indirect officer, director, partner, shareholder, employee, agent, representative, accountant, advisor, attorney, principal, affiliate, consultant, contractor, property manager, successor or assign of any of the foregoing parties (Seller, and all of the other parties described in the preceding portions of this sentence (other than Purchaser) shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Exculpated Parties”) has made, and is not now making, and Seller specifically disclaims, any warranties, representations or guaranties of any kind or character, express or implied, oral or written, past, present or future, including, without limitation, those with respect to (i) the Leases, (ii) the Contracts, (iii) the Personalty, (iv) the Property, (v) the value, financial condition of, the revenues and expenses generated by, or associated with, the Property or otherwise relating to the Property, (vi) matters of title, (vii) environmental matters relating to the Property or any portion thereof, (viii) geological conditions, including, without limitation, subsidence, subsurface conditions, water table, underground water reservoirs, limitations regarding the withdrawal of water and earthquake faults and the resulting damage of past and/or future earthquakes, (ix) whether, and to the extent to which, the Property or any portion thereof is affected by any stream (surface or underground), body of water, flood prone area, flood plain, floodway or special flood hazard, (x) drainage, (xi) soil conditions, including the existence of instability, past soil repairs, soil additions or conditions of soil fill, or susceptibility to landslides, or the sufficiency of any undershoring, (xii) the availability of any utilities to the Property or any portion thereof including, without limitation, water, sewage, gas and electric, (xiii) the usages of adjoining property, (xiv) access to the Property or any portion thereof, (xv) the compliance with the plans and specifications of the Property, (xvi) the size, location, age, use, design, quality, description, suitability, structural integrity, operation, or physical condition of the Property or any portion thereof, (xvii) any liens, encumbrances, rights or claims on or affecting or pertaining to the Property or any part thereof, (xviii) the compliance of the Property with Environmental Laws (defined below), or the presence of Hazardous Substances (defined below) in or on, under or in the vicinity of the Property, (xix) the condition or use of the Property or compliance of the Property with any or all past, present or future federal, state or local ordinances, rules, regulations or laws, building, fire or zoning ordinances, codes or other similar laws, regulations and rules applicable to the Property, or the compliance by the Property therewith, (xx) the existence or non-existence of underground storage tanks, (xxi) any other matter affecting the stability or integrity of the Property, (xxii) the potential for further development of the Property, (xxiii) the existence of vested land use, zoning or building entitlements affecting the Property, (xxiv) the merchantability of the Property or fitness of the Property for any particular purpose (Purchaser affirming that Purchaser has not relied on Seller’s skill or judgment to select or furnish the Property for any particular purpose, and that Seller makes no warranty that the Property is fit for any particular purpose), (xxv) tax consequences or (xxvi) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

55


(b)        Purchaser hereby acknowledges that, except for the representations and warranties of Seller expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the Closing Documents for the applicable survival period, Purchaser has not relied upon, and will not rely upon, either directly or indirectly, any information, representation or warranty of Seller or any of the other Exculpated Parties, and further acknowledges that no such other representations or warranties have been made. Purchaser represents that it is a knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated purchaser of real estate, and that, except for the representations and warranties of Seller expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the Closing Documents for the applicable survival period, it is relying solely on its own expertise and that of Purchaser’s consultants in purchasing the Property. Purchaser acknowledges that, prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement it has examined, reviewed and inspected, and during the Inspection Period it will examine, review and inspect, all matters that in Purchaser’s judgment bear upon the Property and its value and suitability for Purchaser’s purposes. Purchaser shall rely solely on its own independent investigation and inspection of the Property (except for the representations and warranties of Seller expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the Closing Documents), and shall conduct such inspections and investigations of the Property as Purchaser deems necessary. Upon Closing, Purchaser shall take the risk that adverse matters, including, but not limited to, adverse physical and environmental conditions, may not have been revealed by Purchaser’s inspections and investigations (except for the representations and warranties of Seller expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the Closing Documents for the applicable survival period). Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that upon Closing, Seller shall sell and convey to Purchaser and Purchaser shall accept the Property “as is, where is”, with all faults (except for the representations and warranties of Seller expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the Closing Documents for the applicable survival period). Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that there are no oral agreements, warranties or representations, collateral to or affecting the Property by Seller or any of the other Exculpated Parties. Seller is not liable or bound in any manner by any oral or written statements, representations, or information pertaining to the Property furnished by any real estate broker, agent, employee, servant or other person, unless the same are specifically set forth or referred to herein. Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchase Price reflects the “as is” nature of this sale and any faults, liabilities, defects or other adverse matters that may be associated with the Property. Purchaser has fully reviewed the disclaimers and waivers set forth in this Agreement with its counsel and understands the significance and effect thereof.

(c)        From and after Closing, Purchaser agrees for itself and for its heirs, successors and assigns, to waive all of its rights under this Agreement (if any) and any Environmental Laws to require Seller to remediate or “clean up” the Premises, including without limitation, Purchaser’s rights under CERCLA or any analogous state laws. Purchaser acknowledges having inspected the Property, having observed its physical characteristics and existing conditions and having had the opportunity to conduct such investigation and study on and of said property and adjacent areas as it deems necessary and hereby waives any and all objections to or complaints regarding (including, but not limited to, federal, state or common law based actions and any private right of action under state and federal law to which the Property is or may be subject, including, but not limited to, CERCLA and RCRA) physical characteristics and existing conditions, including, without limitation, structural and geologic conditions, subsurface soil and water conditions and solid and hazardous waste and Hazardous Substances on, under, adjacent to or otherwise affecting the Property. Purchaser further hereby takes the risk

 

56


of changes in applicable laws and regulations relating to past, present and future environmental conditions on the Property and the risk that adverse physical characteristics and conditions, including, without limitation, the presence of Hazardous Substances or other contaminants, may not have been revealed by its investigation. “Environmental Laws” shall mean any federal, state or local statute, regulation or ordinance or rule of common law or any judicial, administrative or arbitral decree or decision, whether now existing or hereinafter enacted, promulgated or issued, in any way relating to the protection of the environment, including, inter alia, any hazardous materials, petroleum or any fraction thereof, drinking water, groundwater, wetlands, landfills, open dumps, outdoor air quality, indoor air quality, microbial matter, mycotoxins, storage tanks, underground storage tanks, solid waste, waste water, storm water runoff, waste emissions or wells.

Section 4321 et seq.); (ix) the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (codified in scattered sections of 10 U.S.C., 29 U.S.C., 33 U.S.C. and 42 U.S.C.); (x) Title III of the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act (40 U.S.C.

Section 1100 et seq.); and (xvi) the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.), and (xvii) any analogous present or future state or local statutes or laws. “Hazardous Substances” shall mean any hazardous, toxic or dangerous waste, substance or material, pollutant or contaminant, as defined for purposes of the CERCLA (defined below), or the RCRA (defined below), or any other federal, state or local law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Property, or any substance which is toxic, explosive, corrosive, flammable, infectious, radioactive, carcinogenic, mutagenic or otherwise hazardous, or any substance which contains gasoline, diesel fuel or other petroleum hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), radon gas, urea formaldehyde, asbestos, lead, or electromagnetic waves.

(d)        WITHOUT LIMITING THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 24(C) ABOVE AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE LAST SENTENCE OF THIS SECTION 24(D), EFFECTIVE AS OF AND FROM AND AFTER THE CLOSING DATE, PURCHASER HEREBY RELEASES SELLER AND THE EXCULPATED PARTIES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES WHETHER THE SUIT IS INSTITUTED OR NOT) WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, LIQUIDATED

PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PURCHASER HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF PURCHASER’S SELECTION AND PURCHASER IS GRANTING THIS RELEASE OF ITS OWN VOLITION AND AFTER CONSULTATION WITH PURCHASER’S COUNSEL. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE FOREGOING RELEASE SHALL NOT EXTEND TO (A) THE COVENANTS AND REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS FOR THE APPLICABLE SURVIVAL PERIOD, (B) SELLER’S FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, AND (C) ANY OF SELLER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OF THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS.

SCHEDULE I

Lease Defaults

 

1.

On August 29, 2013, Seller sent non-monetary default letter to Burger Joint Chicago Bar & Grill LLC relating to the installation of aluminum fencing around the outdoor patio area of the premises in violation of the Lease. The aluminum fencing was bolted into the sidewalk concrete in violation of the Lease. Seller has notified this tenant that the fencing must be removed and that the sidewalk must be repaired, at tenant’s expense, to its prior condition. Prior to the Effective Date, the tenant removed the fencing, but Seller is currently obtaining pricing for the cost to repair the sidewalk.

 

2.

Seller sent Happytuse Inc. (d/b/a Dunkin Donuts) a letter dated October 23, 2013 asserting a default by this tenant for failure to pay percentage for the years 2007 through 2012, storage rent for the months of August through October 2013 and code violations payable for the month of August 2013 under its Lease in the total amount of $173,375.37.

 

3.

On April 23, 2013 and July 29, 2013, Seller received notices from Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., as tenant, and its counsel, respectively, alleging a default by Seller in connection with timely remedying certain leaks and seepage issues in Oppenheimer’s premises in alleged violation of Article 7 of Oppenheimer & Co.’s Lease. Seller vehemently denies any failure on its part to timely address such issues. Nonetheless, Seller agreed to take the action set forth in that certain letter dated October 23, 2013 from Seller to the tenant to address the tenant’s concerns.

FIRPTA CERTIFICATE

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. To inform                                                       (the “Transferee”) that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by UST-GEPT Joint Venture, L.P., an Illinois limited partnership (“Transferor”), Transferor hereby certifies to Transferee, as follows:

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

2.         Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Section 1.1445.2(b)(2)(iii) of Income Tax Regulations.

3.         The U.S. employer identification number of Transferor is                                     ;

4.         Transferor’s principal office address is c/o GE Asset Management Incorporated, 1600 Summer Street, Stamford, Connecticut 06905; and

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

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

NOVATION AGREEMENT

UST-GEPT JOINT VENTURE, L.P., an Illinois limited partnership (“Transferor”), with its office at c/o GE Asset Management Incorporated, 1600 Summer Street, Stamford, Connecticut 06905, and [                                             ] (“Transferee”), with an office at [                                                                 ]; and the                                                          (“Government”) enter into this Agreement effective as of                                              ,201    , the date of closing.

A.         THE PARTIES AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING FACTS:

(1)         The Government has entered into a certain contract (“Lease”) with the Transferor, namely:

U.S. Government Lease for Real Property (Lease No.                         ) dated                          by and between UST-GEPT Joint Venture, L.P., an Illinois limited partnership, as landlord, and the United States of America, as tenant, as amended by [                                                     ], and more particularly described in Exhibit A that is attached hereto and made a part hereof, with respect to certain premises (“Premises”) which are located at 500 West Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois 60661.

The term, “the Lease,” as used in this Agreement, means the above lease and all other contracts, including all modifications, made between the Government and the Transferor before the effective date of this Agreement (whether or not performance or payment have been completed and releases executed if the Government or the Transferor has any remaining rights, duties, or obligations under these contracts.) Included in the term, “the Lease,” are also all modifications made under the terms and conditions of these contracts between the Government and the Transferee, on or after the effective date of this Agreement.

(2)         As of the date hereof, the Transferor has transferred to the Transferee all of its rights in and to the Lease by virtue of various instruments, including, but not limited to, an Assignment and Assumption of Leases, Contracts and Pedestrian Bridge Agreement between the Transferor and the Transferee (the “Assignment of Leases”).

(3)         The Transferee has acquired all of the rights of the Transferor under and pursuant to the Lease by virtue of the above transfer.

(4)         The Transferee has assumed all obligations and liabilities of the Transferor under the Lease by virtue of the above transfer.

(5)         The Transferee is in a position to fully perform all obligations that may exist under the Lease.


(6)         It is consistent with the Government’s interest to recognize the Transferee as the successor party to the Lease.

(7)         Evidence of the above transfer has been filed with the Government.

 

B.

      IN CONSIDERATION OF THESE FACTS, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT BY THIS AGREEMENT:

(1)         The Transferor confirms the transfer to the Transferee, and waives any claims and rights against the Government that it now has or may have in the future in connection with the Lease.

(2)         The Transferee agrees to be bound by and to perform the Lease in accordance with the conditions contained in the Lease. The Transferee also assumes all obligations and liabilities of, and all claims against, the Transferor under the Lease as if the Transferee were the original party to the Lease.

(3)         The Transferee ratifies all previous actions taken by the Transferor with respect to the Lease, with the same force and effect as if the action had been taken by the Transferee.

(4)         The Government recognizes the Transferee as the Transferor’s successor in interest in and to the Lease. The Transferee, by this Agreement, becomes entitled to all rights, titles, and interests of the Transferor in and to the Lease, as if the Transferee were the original party to the Lease. Following the effective date of this Agreement, the term “Lessor”, as used in the Lease, shall refer to the Transferee.

(5)         Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in it shall be construed as a waiver of any rights of the Government against the Transferor.

(6)         All payments and reimbursements previously made by the Government to the Transferor, and all other previous actions taken by the Government under the Lease, shall be considered to have discharged those parts of the Government’s obligations under the Lease. All payments and reimbursements made by the Government which occur after the date of this Agreement in the name of or to the Transferor shall have the same force and effect as if made to the Transferee, and shall constitute a complete discharge of the Government’s obligations under the Lease, to the extent of the amounts paid or reimbursed.

(7)         The Transferor and the Transferee agree that the Government is not obligated to pay or reimburse either of them for, or otherwise give effect to, any costs, taxes, or other expenses, or any related increases, directly or indirectly arising out of or resulting from the transfer or this Agreement, other than those that the Government, in the absence of this transfer or Agreement, would have been obligated to pay or reimburse under the terms of the Lease.

(8)         The Transferor guarantees payment of all liabilities and the performance of all obligations that the Transferee (i) assumes under this Agreement or (ii) may undertake in the


future should the Lease be modified under its terms and conditions. The Transferor waives notice of, and consents to, any such future modifications.

(9)         The Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified by this Agreement. Each party has executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

(10)         As between the Transferor and Transferee only, their respective obligations and liabilities one to the other shall continue to be as set forth in the Assignment of Leases and the Purchase and Sale Agreement executed between them.
