All such inspections will be non-destructive in nature, and specifically will not include any physically intrusive testing. Purchaser will not conduct any soil, groundwater, soil vapor or surface water sampling of the Asset unless approved in writing in advance by Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and Purchaser will not provide the results of any soil, groundwater, soil vapor or surface water sampling unless agreed to in writing by Seller, except as may be required by applicable laws or regulations, and except that Purchaser may provide such results to Purchaser's consultants, prospective lenders and such prospective lenders' consultants.

Purchaser will notify Seller not less than two (2) Business Days in advance of making any such inspection by telephone to Vickie Bock at (404) 407-1746 and all contact with tenants will be coordinated first through Vickie Bock.

 

(b)          If the Closing is not consummated, Purchaser will promptly deliver copies of all non-confidential and non-proprietary reports, surveys and other information furnished to Purchaser by third parties in connection with its inspections to Seller; provided, however, that delivery of such copies and information will be without warranty or representation whatsoever, express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranty or representation as to ownership, accuracy, adequacy or completeness. This Section 3.1(b) will survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

(c)          To the extent that Purchaser or any of its representatives, agents or contractors damages or disturbs the Asset, Purchaser will immediately return the same to substantially the same condition which existed prior to the damage or disturbance. Purchaser hereby agrees to and will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all expense, loss or damage which Seller may incur (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees actually incurred) as a result of any negligent act or omission of Purchaser or its representatives, agents or contractors, other than any expense, loss or damage to the extent arising from any negligent act or omission of Seller during any such inspection and other than any expense, loss or damage resulting from the discovery or release of any Hazardous Substances at the Asset (other than Hazardous Substances brought on to the Asset by Purchaser or its representatives, agents or contractors, or any release of Hazardous Substances resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Purchaser or its representatives, agents or contractors). This indemnification agreement will survive the Closing and any earlier termination of this Agreement. Purchaser will maintain and will ensure that Purchaser's consultants and contractors maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than $2,000,000, combined single limit, and in form and substance adequate to insure against all liability of Purchaser and its consultants and contractors, respectively, and each of their respective agents, employees and contractors, arising out of inspections and testing of the Asset made on Purchaser's behalf. Purchaser agrees to provide to Seller a certificate of insurance with regard to each applicable liability insurance policy prior to any entry on the Land by Purchaser or its consultants or contractors, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 3.1.

 

3.2          Purchaser's Access to Seller's Records. From the Effective Date until the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller will allow Purchaser and Purchaser's representatives, on reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours, to have access to Seller's existing non-confidential books, records and files relating to the Asset either (i) through the secure electronic data room established by Seller with Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P., or (ii) at the offices of Seller in Atlanta, Georgia, for the purpose of inspecting and (at Purchaser's expense) copying the same. Except as may be specifically provided in this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller makes no representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever, express or implied, with respect to the ownership, enforceability, accuracy, adequacy or completeness or otherwise of any of such records, evaluations, data, investigations, reports, or other materials. If the Closing fails to take place for any reason,

 

10
 

 

Purchaser will promptly return or destroy all copies of materials copied from Seller's books, records and files relating to the Asset. It is understood and agreed that Seller has no obligation to obtain, commission or prepare any books, records, files, reports or studies not now in Seller's possession. Seller has uploaded the documents in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (xi) and (xii) below to the electronic data room referred to in clause (i), above. To the extent not in the electronic data room on the Effective Date, Seller agrees to make available to Purchaser for inspection and copying, without limitation, the following books, records and files relating to the Asset, all to the extent the same are in Seller's possession or control:

 

(i)Copies of current tax bills and assessor's statements of current assessed value with respect to the Asset.

 

(ii)Copies of operating statements for calendar years 2011 and 2012 and year to date with respect to the Asset.

 

(iii)Copies of the current accounts receivable report, most recent CAM/tax reconciliations, and current CAM and tax calculations and invoices.

 

(iv)Copies of all Leases, Guaranties and Commission Agreements existing as of the Effective Date.

 

(v)Copies of insurance certificates for tenants under the Leases.

 

(vi)Copies of the Rubenstein Commission Agreement and the Leasing Agreement.

(viii)A copy of the NTB Contract.

 

(ix)A copy of the Option Agreement.

 

(x)A copy of Seller's (or its affiliate's) current policy or policies of title insurance with respect to the Land and Improvements, and a schedule of any pending insurance claims.

 

(xi)A copy of the Existing Survey.

 

(xii)Copies of the Existing Environmental Reports.

 

(xiii)Copies of any financial statements or other financial information of the tenants under the Leases.

 

(xiv)All available construction, architectural and engineering plans and specifications in Seller's possession relating to the development, condition, repair and maintenance of the Asset.

 

11
 

  

(xv)Copies of all available warranties, guaranties and bonds in effect with respect to the Asset.

 

(xvi)Copies of all available permits, licenses, approvals and certificates of occupancy applicable to the Asset.

 

3.3          Condition of the Asset . Seller recommends that Purchaser employ one or more independent engineering and/or environmental professionals to perform engineering, environmental and physical assessments of the Asset.

 

3.4          Title and Survey. Seller will provide Purchaser with a current ALTA title insurance commitment from the Title Company with respect to the Asset (the "Title Commitment") and the Existing Survey. However, the premiums for all owner’s and lender’s title insurance policies issued for the Property at Closing will be shared equally by an agent or direct office of the Title Company selected by Seller and an agent or direct office of the Title Company selected by Purchaser. As provided in Section 5.3, Seller will pay for all costs to prepare the Title Commitment and the basic premium for Purchaser's title insurance. Seller and Purchaser will share equally the cost of the Existing Survey (in the amount of $8,980.18) and Purchaser will pay for the cost of any updates to the Existing Survey. Purchaser will have until the day which is five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period to give written notice (the "First Title Notice") to Seller of any objections Purchaser has to any exceptions to title disclosed in the Title Commitment or any matters revealed by the Existing Survey. At any time after the First Title Notice and prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser may give written notice of exceptions to title first appearing of record after the effective date of the Title Commitment or on any update to the Existing Survey (as updated from time to time). Seller has the right, but not the obligation (except as to Monetary Objections), to attempt to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any exceptions to title to which Purchaser objects. Within five (5) days after receipt of Purchaser's First Title Notice, Seller will give written notice to Purchaser informing Purchaser of Seller's election with respect to such objections. If Seller fails to give written notice within the five (5) day period, Seller is deemed to have declined to cure the objections (other than Monetary Objections). Except as to Monetary Objections, if Seller declines, or is deemed to have declined, to cure any exceptions to title to which Purchaser has objected or if, after electing to attempt to cure, Seller determines that it is unable to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any such exceptions, Purchaser's sole remedy will be either (i) to accept title to the Asset subject to such exceptions as if Purchaser had not objected and without reduction of the Purchase Price, or (ii) to terminate this Agreement within three (3) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Seller declining to cure any objection or advising Purchaser that Seller is unable to do so. On any such termination under clause (ii) above, Escrow Agent will return the Earnest Money to Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, it shall not be necessary for Purchaser to include specific reference to any Monetary Objections in the First Title Notice or otherwise; rather all Monetary Objections will be deemed made by Purchaser, whether or not specifically identified by Purchaser, and Seller is obligated to cure or satisfy all Monetary Objections at or prior to Closing, and may use the proceeds of the Purchase Price at Closing for such purpose.

 

3.5          Operating Agreements. Not less than five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser will designate in writing which Operating Agreements, if any,

 

12
 

 

Purchaser will assume and which Operating Agreements will be terminated by Seller at Closing; provided, however, that Seller will not be obligated to terminate, and Purchaser will assume Seller's obligations arising from and after Closing under, all Operating Agreements, if any, that cannot be terminated by Seller upon thirty (30) days, or less, prior notice or that can be terminated by Seller only upon payment of a fee, premium, penalty or other form of early termination compensation. Taking into account any credits or prorations to be made pursuant to Article 5, Purchaser will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under those Operating Agreements which will not be terminated. Seller, without cost to Purchaser, will terminate at Closing all Operating Agreements that are not so assumed. If Purchaser fails to give notice to Seller, Purchaser will be deemed to have elected to reject all the Operating Agreements and to have required Seller to terminate such Operating Agreements at Closing.

 

Seller will terminate the Leasing Agreement effective as of closing; however, Purchaser will be responsible for payment of leasing commissions payable to the leasing agent under the Leasing Agreement to the extent provided in Section 4.1(f).

 

3.6          Termination of Agreement. Purchaser will have until the expiration of the Inspection Period to determine, in Purchaser's sole opinion and discretion, the suitability of the Asset for acquisition by Purchaser. Purchaser has the right, in Purchaser's sole opinion and discretion, to terminate this Agreement at any time on or before expiration of the Inspection Period by giving written notice to Seller. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.6, Escrow Agent will pay the Earnest Money to Purchaser, and, except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period: (i) Purchaser will deliver the First Additional Earnest Money to Escrow Agent in the same manner as the Initial Earnest Money within three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the Inspection Period, and it is agreed that the Initial Earnest Money and the First Additional Earnest Money will be non-refundable on expiration of the Inspection Period pursuant to this Section 3.6 except (a) in the event of a default by Seller, or (b) a termination of this Agreement as a result of a casualty or condemnation pursuant to Article 7 or as a result of the failure of Seller to deliver the Required Tenant Executed Estoppels by the Closing Date, as may be extended pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) Purchaser will have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.6.

 

3.7          Confidentiality. All information acquired by Purchaser or any of its designated representatives (including by way of example, but not in limitation, the members, officers, directors, shareholders and employees of Purchaser, and Purchaser's engineers, consultants, counsel and potential lenders and partners, and the members, officers, directors, shareholders and employees of each of them) with respect to the Asset, whether delivered by Seller or any of Seller's representatives or obtained by Purchaser as a result of its inspection and investigation of the Asset, examination of Seller's books, records and files, or otherwise (collectively, the "Due Diligence Material") will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether the Asset is suitable for Purchaser's acquisition and ownership and for no other purpose whatsoever. The terms and conditions which are contained in this Agreement and all Due Diligence Material which is not published as public knowledge or which is not generally available in the public domain will be kept in strict confidence by Purchaser and will not be disclosed to any individual

 

13
 

 

or entity other than to those agents, representatives, advisers, consultants, or attorneys of Purchaser, or Purchaser's lender(s), who Purchaser or Purchaser's lender(s) determines need to know the information for the purpose of assisting Purchaser or Purchaser's lender(s) in evaluating the Asset. However, Purchaser will have the right to disclose any such information if required by applicable law or as may be necessary in connection with any court action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, and Purchaser shall have the right to disclose the existence of this Agreement and the fact that Purchaser has contracted to purchase the Asset and to make such disclosures as are permitted in Section 11.4 below. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage or expense that Seller may suffer or incur (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred) as a result of the unpermitted disclosure or use of any of the Due Diligence Material to any individual or entity other than as permitted above and/or the use of any Due Diligence Material for any purpose other than contemplated and permitted in this Agreement. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement or if the Closing fails to occur for any reason, Purchaser will promptly destroy or return to Seller all Due Diligence Material in the possession of Purchaser and any of its representatives, and will destroy all copies, notes or abstracts or extracts, as well as all copies of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by Purchaser or for its use (whether in written or electronic form) containing or reflecting any Due Diligence Material. Seller agrees not to disclose the economic terms of this Agreement to any party except Seller's partners, lenders, agents, employees and consultants.

 

ARTICLE 4
Representations, Warranties AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

 

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

 

(a)          Organization, Authorization and Consents. Seller is a duly organized and validly existing entity under the laws of the State of its formation. Seller has the right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to convey the Asset in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(b)          Action of Seller, Etc. Seller's obligations under this Agreement are conditioned on receipt of approval of this Agreement from the board of directors of Cousins Properties Incorporated. Seller will have until the date which is ten (10) business days after the Effective Date to receive the approval. Seller will advise Purchaser in writing of the board's determination. If the board does not approve the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Seller will terminate this Agreement not later than the date which is ten (10) business days after the Effective Date. In that event, the Earnest Money will be returned to Purchaser, Seller will reimburse Purchaser for its actual and reasonable third party costs incurred with respect to this Agreement and its pursuit of the Asset, not to exceed $25,000.00, and, except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement. On the execution and delivery of any document to be delivered by Seller on or prior to the Closing, this Agreement and such document will constitute the valid and binding obligation and agreement of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except as

 

14
 

 

enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.

 

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

 

(d)          Litigation. Seller has no actual knowledge of any investigation, action or proceeding that is pending or threatened, which (i) if determined adversely to Seller, does or would materially and adversely affect the use or value of the Asset, or (ii) questions the validity of this Agreement or any action taken or to be taken pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) involves condemnation or eminent domain proceedings involving the Asset.

 

As a matter of information only, there is a lawsuit pending against Cousins TSMC in the Circuit Court of Platte County, Missouri styled Relling v. Cousins Tiffany Springs MarketCenter LLC (Case No. 13AE-CV00121).

 

(e)          Existing Leases and Guaranties. Other than the Leases with the tenants listed on Exhibit "F", to Seller's actual knowledge, there is no agreement with respect to the occupancy of the Asset which will be binding on Purchaser after the Closing. Exhibit "F" contains a complete list of all Guaranties with respect to the signed Leases. The copies of the Leases and Guaranties delivered by Seller to Purchaser are true, correct and complete copies including all amendments. Except as set forth on Exhibit "G", to Seller's actual knowledge, (i) there is no tenant under the Leases that is in default in any material respect under its Lease, and (ii) no default by Seller, as landlord, has occurred and is continuing under any Lease.

 

Best Buy, a tenant at the Asset, alleged in a letter dated May 7, 2013 that Cousins TSMC, the landlord under the Best Buy Lease, is in default under the Best Buy Lease for failure to undertake repairs of damage caused by an apparent act of vandalism to the Best Buy store.  Cousins TSMC has determined that the damage caused by the vandals affects non-structural aspects of the premises except for a bollard in the sidewalk in front of the premises, and that such damage does not constitute "casualty damage" requiring repair by landlord under the terms of the Best Buy Lease.  Cousins Properties Incorporated, as agent for Cousins TSMC, by letter to Best Buy dated May 14, 2013, explained that: (i) Best Buy will be responsible for repairing all non-structural damage pursuant to its obligations under its Lease; and (ii) Cousins TSMC will repair the damaged bollard located on the sidewalk in front of the Best Buy premises, as it is within the common area.  Seller agrees to keep Purchaser informed of any developments related to this dispute and to promptly forward to Purchaser any material correspondence delivered to or received from Best Buy.   

 

(f)          Leasing Commissions; Management and Leasing Agreements. (i) Seller has not entered into any (and to Seller's knowledge, there are no) lease brokerage agreements, leasing commission agreements or other agreements providing for payments of any amounts for leasing activities or procuring tenants with respect to the Asset ("Commission Agreements")

 

15
 

  

other than as disclosed on Exhibit "C", and (ii) Seller has not entered into any (and to Seller's knowledge, there are no) agreements currently in effect relating to the management and leasing of the Asset other than the Leasing Agreement. Except as expressly contemplated in Section 4.4(a) and except as set forth on Exhibit "G", all leasing commissions and brokerage fees accrued or due and payable under the Commission Agreements for the signed Leases have been paid in full by Seller. Seller will terminate the Leasing Agreement at Closing. Except as expressly contemplated in Section 4.4(a), Purchaser will be responsible for the payment of all leasing commissions payable for (A) any new leases entered into after the Effective Date that have been approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser, and (B) the leasing commissions listed in item 1 of Exhibit "G", which are described in the next sentence. In addition, Purchaser will be responsible for any commission due: (i) to Lane4 as a result of the leasing by Purchaser of any portion of the Asset to a Prospect within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Leasing Agreement is terminated, which will occur at Closing; and (ii) under the Rubenstein Commission Agreement. The copies of the Rubenstein Commission Agreement and the Leasing Agreement provided by Seller to Purchaser are true, correct and complete, and to Seller's actual knowledge there are no defaults by Seller or any other party under either the Rubenstein Commission Agreement or the Leasing Agreement.

 

(g)          Taxes and Assessments. Except as may be set forth on Exhibit "J", Seller has not filed, and has not retained anyone to file, notices of protests against, or to commence action to review, real property tax assessments against the Asset which remain pending.

 

(h)          Environmental Matters. Except as may be set forth in any of the Due Diligence Material or as otherwise may be disclosed in writing by Seller, to Seller's actual knowledge, there are no violations of any Environmental Law with respect to the Asset.

 

(i)          Compliance with Laws. To Seller's knowledge, there are no violations of law with respect to the Asset.

 

(j)          Other Agreements. Seller has delivered a true, correct and complete copy of the NTB Contract (including all amendments) to Purchaser and, to Seller's knowledge, the NTB Contract is in full force and effect and no default has occurred thereunder. Except for the Leases, the Guaranties, the Commission Agreements, the Leasing Agreement, the Operating Agreements, the NTB Contract, and the Permitted Exceptions, Seller has entered into no (and to Seller's knowledge, there are no) service contracts, leases, management agreements, brokerage agreements, sale agreements, option agreements or other agreements or instruments in force or effect that grant to any person or any entity any right, title, interest or benefit in and to all or any part of the Asset or any rights relating to the use, operation, management, leasing, maintenance, repair or purchase of all or any part of the Asset which will survive the Closing or be binding upon Purchaser other than those which Purchaser has agreed in writing to assume prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period (or is deemed to have agreed to assume) or which are terminable upon thirty (30) days' notice without payment of premium or penalty.

 

Purchaser acknowledges that the parties to the OEA currently are negotiating a Third Amendment to Operation and Easement Agreement (the "Third Amendment to OEA"), which will reconfigure that portion of the Land known as Outparcels 6 and 7 and modify the list of

 

16
 

 

prohibited uses for the Asset. Purchaser agrees that: (i) Seller will have the right to further negotiate and enter into the Third Amendment to OEA, a copy of which is posted in the electronic data room, and (ii) upon full execution, the Third Amendment to OEA will become a part of the OEA.

 

(k)          Seller Not a Foreign Person. Seller is not a "foreign person" which would subject Purchaser to the withholding tax provisions of Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

(l)          Condemnation; Assessments. Seller has no actual knowledge of any pending or threatened proceedings for taking by condemnation or eminent domain of any part of the Asset. To Seller's actual knowledge, there are no special assessments affecting the Asset.

 

(m)          Employees. Seller has no employees to whom by virtue of such employment or otherwise Purchaser will have any obligation after the Closing.

 

The representations and warranties made in this Agreement by Seller will be continuing and will be deemed remade by Seller as of the Closing Date, with the same force and effect as if made on, and as of, such date, subject to Seller's right to update such representations and warranties by written notice to Purchaser and in Seller's certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(g). All representations and warranties made in this Agreement by Seller will survive the Closing for a period of two hundred seventy (270) days. On the expiration of the two hundred seventy (270) day period, all representations and warranties will be of no further force or effect except to the extent that with respect to any particular alleged breach, Purchaser gives Seller written notice prior to the expiration of the two hundred seventy (270) day period of such alleged breach with reasonable detail as to the nature of such breach and files an action against Seller within one hundred eighty (180) days after the notice.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller will have no liability to Purchaser for the breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement unless the loss resulting from Seller's breach of its representations and warranties exceeds, in the aggregate, Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00 US), in which event Seller will be liable for each dollar of damages resulting from the breach or breaches of its representations and warranties, but in no event will Seller's total liability for any such breach or breaches exceed, in the aggregate, Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00 US). In no event will Seller be liable for, nor will Purchaser seek, any consequential, indirect or punitive damages; and in no event will any claim for a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller be actionable or payable if the breach in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter which was known to Purchaser prior to the Closing or which was contained in the Due Diligence Material or in any of Seller's files, books or records made available to Purchaser for inspection.

 

4.2          As-Is Sale; Release. Purchaser acknowledges (i) that Purchaser has entered into this Agreement with the intention of making and relying on its own investigation or that of Purchaser's own consultants and representatives with respect to the physical, environmental, economic and legal condition of the Asset, and (ii) that Purchaser is not relying upon any statements, representations or warranties of any kind, other than those specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any document to be executed and delivered by Seller to Purchaser at the

 

17
 

 

Closing, made (or purported to be made) by Seller or anyone acting or claiming to act on Seller's behalf. Purchaser will inspect the Asset and will be fully familiar with its physical condition and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller set forth herein, will purchase the Asset in an "as is" condition, "with all faults," on the Closing Date.

 

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION TO THE CONTRARY, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any document to be executed and delivered by Seller to Purchaser at the Closing, SELLER HAS NOT MADE AND DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES TO PURCHASER WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW, WITH RESPECT TO THE ASSET, INCLUDING, BUT IN NO WAY LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY OF CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY, HABITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE, OR WITH RESPECT TO THE VALUE, PROFITABILITY OR MARKETABILITY OF THE ASSET. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any document to be executed and delivered by Seller to Purchaser at the Closing, SELLER HAS NOT MADE, DOES NOT AND WILL NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH REGARD TO THE CONDITION OR COMPLIANCE OF THE ASSET WITH RESPECT TO ANY ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, HUMAN HEALTH, SAFETY, OR LAND USE LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS, ORDERS OR REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE PERTAINING TO THE USE, HANDLING, GENERATION, TREATMENT, STORAGE, MANAGEMENT, OR DISPOSAL OF ANY TOXIC OR HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES, HAZARDOUS WASTE OR TOXIC, REGULATED SUBSTANCES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION PETROLEUM PRODUCTS, ASBESTOS, LEAD-BASED PAINT AND OTHER SUBSTANCES. PURCHASER IS PURCHASING THE ASSET IN AN "AS IS" CONDITION, "WITH ALL FAULTS" AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR GUARANTEES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW, OF ANY KIND, NATURE, OR TYPE WHATSOEVER FROM OR ON BEHALF OF SELLER, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any document to be executed and delivered by Seller to Purchaser at the Closing.

 

Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Purchaser unconditionally waives and releases Seller, and its partners, beneficial owners, officers, directors, shareholders and employees from any present or future claims and liabilities of any nature arising from or relating to the physical, economic and legal condition of the Asset and the presence or alleged presence of Hazardous Substances in, on, at, from, under or about the Asset or any adjacent property, including, without limitation, any claims under or on account of any Environmental Law, regardless of whether such Hazardous Substances are located in, on, at, from, under or about the Asset or any adjacent property prior to or after the date of this Agreement. In addition, Purchaser covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Seller and its partners, beneficial owners, officers, directors, shareholders and employees from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs or expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, existing and future, including any action or proceeding brought or threatened, or ordered by governmental authorities, relating to any Hazardous Substances which

 

18
 

 

may be placed, located or released on the Asset after the date of Closing. The terms and provisions of this Section 4.2 will survive the Closing.

 

4.3          Knowledge Defined. All references in this Agreement to the "knowledge of Seller" (or words of similar import) will refer only to the actual knowledge of (a) Vickie Bock, the senior property manager of the Asset, who has been actively involved in the management of the Asset, (b) Stephanie Hart, Vice President of Cousins Properties Incorporated, and (c) Marli Quesinberry, Director of Asset Management of Cousins Properties Incorporated. Except for the individuals set forth above, the term "knowledge of Seller" (or words of similar import) will not be construed, by imputation or otherwise, to refer to the knowledge of any affiliate of Seller, or to any other partner, beneficial owner, officer, agent, manager, representative or employee of Seller, or any of their respective affiliates, or to impose on the individual named above any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge, or the absence thereof, pertains. There will be no personal liability on the part of the individual named above arising out of any representations or warranties made in this Agreement or otherwise.

 

4.4          Covenants and Agreements of Seller

 

(a)          Leasing Arrangements; NTB Contract. During the pendency of this Agreement except as provided in this clause (a), Seller will not enter into any lease affecting the Asset, or modify, amend, or terminate, the existing Leases without Purchaser's prior written consent in each instance, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and which will be deemed given unless withheld by written notice to Seller given within five (5) Business Days after Purchaser's receipt of Seller's written request, each of which requests will be accompanied by a copy of any proposed modification or amendment of an existing Lease or of any new Lease that Seller wishes to execute between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, including, without limitation, a description of any Tenant Concessions and leasing commissions associated with any proposed renewal or expansion of an existing Lease or with any such new Lease. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing of its approval or disapproval within the five (5) Business Day period, such failure by Purchaser will be deemed to be the approval of Purchaser. At Closing, Purchaser will reimburse Seller for any Tenant Concessions, leasing commissions or other reasonable, out of pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, actually incurred by Seller pursuant to a renewal or expansion of any existing Lease or new Lease entered into after the Effective Date for an effective period after the Closing Date, and approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser in connection with Purchaser's approval of the applicable renewal of expansion of an existing Lease or a new Lease, and Purchaser will assume any such new Lease and will assume those obligations of Seller under such new Lease that were approved or deemed approved by Purchaser, including the obligation to pay Tenant Concessions and leasing commissions, prorated based on each party's respective period of ownership (if and to the extent the new Lease commences prior to the date of Closing).

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser's consent is not required for managerial activities related to the Leases such as providing estoppel certificates and executing agreements establishing critical lease dates (such as commencement dates, rent commencement dates, expiration dates, etc.). Seller will deliver copies of all of such documents promptly to Purchaser [but in all events not later than five (5) Business Days prior to Closing], and will also keep Purchaser informed on the status of the

 

19
 

 

leasing activities described in this Section 4.4(a). With regard to all correspondence to and from Seller and Purchaser relating to leasing activities pursuant to this Section 4.4(a), it is agreed that the correspondence may be given by e-mail only, on a Business Day, to Marli Quesinberry (MarliQuesinberry@cousinsproperties.com) of Seller and Jeff DeWeese (jdeweese@LPC.com) of Purchaser so that the timeliness of information sharing and response on these matters will be enhanced.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Seller will be permitted to continue to work on, and to finalize, if terms are agreed on, the following leases on substantially the terms outlined below; however, base rental amounts may be reduced up to five percent (5%) and tenant allowances may be increased by up to five percent (5%) without further consent from Purchaser:

Pro rata pass throughs for real estate taxes and insurance and CAM charges of $2.48 psf fixed increasing at 4% per year starting January 2015. $25.00 psf tenant allowance. Broker commission 4%.

 

Purchaser will assume the obligations of Seller under the NTB Contract unless it is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to Closing. Seller will provide Purchaser with copies of all notices given and received under the NTB Contract after the Effective Date. Seller will and is authorized to continue to perform the obligations of Seller under the NTB Contract. At the Closing, if the sale under the NTB Contract has closed, Purchaser will receive a credit for the net sales proceeds received by Seller.

 

(b)          New Operating Agreements. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller will not enter into any contract, or modify, amend, renew or extend any existing contract, that will be an obligation affecting the Asset subsequent to the Closing without Purchaser's prior written consent in each instance (which Purchaser agrees not to withhold or delay unreasonably), except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause (and without penalty or premium) on 30 days (or less) notice.

 

(c)          Operation of Asset. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller will continue to operate the Asset in a manner consistent with Seller's current practices.

 

20
 

  

(d)          Insurance. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller will, at its expense, continue to maintain the insurance policies covering the Improvements which are currently in force and effect.

 

(e)          Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser within the period expiring five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the "Estoppel Delivery Period"), estoppel certificates ("Estoppel Certificates") executed by each of the tenants under the Leases of the Asset as of the Effective Date, in the form and substance of the letter attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "I" (unless such tenant's Lease provides for a different form of estoppel, in which event the form required by such Lease will be requested from the tenant). The form of Estoppel Certificate attached as Exhibit "I" is subject to modification as reasonably requested by Purchaser’s lender. Purchaser will use its best efforts to obtain its lender’s proposed modifications, if any, to the form of Estoppel Certificate within five (5) business days after the Effective Date. Estoppel Certificates that (1) are dated not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, (2) have all blanks completed or marked not applicable, as appropriate, (3) have all exhibits completed and attached, as applicable, (4) do not indicate (x) any material discrepancy from the due diligence materials provided by Seller to Purchaser, (y) any Lease amendment, assignment or subletting that was not previously provided by Seller to Purchaser and which is not reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, or (z) any material and adverse claim or landlord default, and (5) if any associated guaranty requires the guarantor to enter into an estoppel certificate, is signed by such guarantor (items (1)-(5) being collectively referred to herein as the "Estoppel Requirements") are herein referred to as the "Tenant Executed Estoppels". The Estoppel Certificate with respect to the Ulta Lease shall confirm the amount of the Ulta Deferred Rent actually paid by Ulta and the amount of the Ulta Deferred Rent still owing as of the date of such Estoppel Certificate. In the event that Seller shall not have obtained Tenant Executed Estoppels from Tenants occupying at least 80% of the total leased square footage of tenant space within the Asset, and which must include the Major Tenants (collectively, the "Required Tenant Executed Estoppels"), at the Closing, then Seller shall not be in default under this Agreement and Purchaser, at Purchaser's option and as Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy, shall (a) have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice of termination to Seller on or before the expiration of three (3) days following the expiration of the Estoppel Delivery Period, in which event the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser by Escrow Agent, and the parties shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, one to the other, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (b) proceed with the Closing, or (c) adjourn the Closing for a period not exceeding thirty (30) days to allow Seller additional time to obtain the Required Tenant Executed Estoppels (but no further extension will be permitted if Purchaser has previously elected to extend the Closing Date). In addition, Seller will also have the right to extend Closing for thirty (30) days in order to satisfy the condition related to the Required Tenant Executed Estoppels by written notice to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Estoppel Delivery Period. Seller agrees to forward each executed Estoppel Certificate received by Seller from a Tenant to Purchaser within three (3) business days after Seller's receipt of same and Purchaser agrees to give written notice to Seller of any deficiency in any Estoppel Certificate within three (3) business days after Purchaser's receipt of same. If Purchaser elects to proceed with the Closing without receiving the Required Tenant Executed Estoppels, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to waive this requirement and shall have no further right to object thereto. In addition to the foregoing, Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and Purchaser's

 

21
 

  

lender, at no cost or expense to Seller, in seeking to obtain executed subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements (the "SNDAs") from the tenants under the Leases. Purchaser will use good faith efforts to submit the complete SNDAs to Seller ten (10) business days after the Effective Date so they can be sent with the Estoppel Certificates. Further, Seller agrees that Purchaser and Purchaser's lender shall have the right to deal directly with the tenants under the Leases in negotiating and obtaining the execution of the SNDAs, provided such actions are taken following notice to and in coordination with Seller's counsel. Receipt of the SNDAs is not a condition to Closing.

 

(f)          OEA Estoppel Certificates. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts (but without obligation to incur any cost or expense other than nominal costs) to obtain and deliver to Purchaser prior to Closing estoppel certificates from Target Corporation, Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. and J. C. Penney Properties, Inc. as contemplated in the OEA (the "OEA Estoppel Certificates"), provided that delivery of such signed OEA Estoppel Certificates will be a condition of Closing but in no event will the inability or failure of Seller to obtain and deliver the OEA Estoppel Certificates be a default of Seller.

 

The estoppel certificate requested from J.C. Penney Properties, Inc. will also include appropriate estoppel provisions regarding the JCP Supplemental Agreement.

 

(g)          Prospects Under Leasing Agreement. Section 7(b) of the Leasing Agreement provides that Lane4 Property Group, Inc. ("Lane4") will be owed a commission if, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of the Leasing Agreement, a lease is entered into for any portion of the Asset with any party whose name was disclosed to Seller by Lane4 as being in active negotiation during the term of the Leasing Agreement (a "Prospect").  Lane4 is required to submit a list of Prospects to Seller within ten (10) days after expiration of the Leasing Agreement.  Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Lane4 to submit its list of Prospects on or before the Closing Date.  In any event, upon receipt of the list, Seller will promptly forward Purchaser a copy.

 

(h)          Assignment of Traffic Signal Agreement. The Land is subject to a Cooperative Agreement for Public Improvement for Signalization dated September 5, 2007, between the City and Tiffany Square, Inc., recorded as Document No. 14676 in Book 1110, Page 744 of the Official Records of Platte County, Missouri (the "Signalization Agreement"). Tiffany Square, Inc. assigned its interest in the Signalization Agreement to Cousins TSMC pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption of Cooperative Agreement for Public Improvement for Signalization N. Skyview Avenue and N. Tiffany Springs Road dated September 12, 2007, recorded as Document No. 20070147744 in Book 1110, Page 840 of the aforesaid records. The Signalization Agreement addresses the payment of the costs of installing a traffic signal at the intersection of N. Skyview Avenue and N. Tiffany Springs Road. Under the Signalization Agreement, assignment of Cousins TSMC's interest is subject to the written consent of the City. Accordingly, Seller will endeavor (but without obligation to incur any cost or expense) to obtain and deliver to Purchaser prior to Closing the written authorization of the City to assign the Signalization Agreement to Purchaser.

5.4           Prorations and Credits.

(a)          Taxes. All general and special real estate taxes and assessments imposed by any governmental authority ("Taxes") for the year in which the Closing occurs will be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date. If the Closing occurs prior to the receipt by Seller of the tax bill for the calendar year or other applicable tax period in which the Closing occurs, Taxes will be prorated for such calendar year or other applicable tax period based upon the prior year's tax bill. Seller has the right to appeal 2013 Taxes, and Seller and Purchaser will be entitled to their appropriate prorated portions of any resulting refund. If the date for filing any required appeal of 2013 Taxes occurs prior to Closing, Seller will also have the right to file an appeal for 2013 Taxes and Purchaser will continue the appeal. Seller and Purchaser will not prorate Taxes for that portion of the Land known as Outparcel 8, because KCGC, LLC, the ground tenant for that parcel, is obligated under its Lease to pay Taxes directly to the applicable governmental authorities.

 

(b)          Re-proration of Taxes. If applicable, within thirty (30) days after Purchaser's receipt of final bills for Taxes, Purchaser will prepare and present to Seller a calculation of the re-proration of such Taxes based upon the actual amount of such Taxes for the year in which the Closing occurs. The parties will make the appropriate adjusting payment between them within thirty (30) days after presentment to Seller of Purchaser's calculation and appropriate back-up information. In addition, if Taxes are appealed for 2013, Seller will be entitled to its proportionate share of any refund or reduction in Taxes (after deduction by Purchaser of its actual third party costs of the appeal), and Seller and Purchaser will again re-prorate Taxes, as applicable, when the appeal is finalized. The provisions of this Section 5.4(b) will survive the Closing.

 

(c)          Rents and Other Income. Rents and any other amounts paid to Seller by the tenants will be prorated as of the Closing Date and be adjusted against the Purchase Price on the basis of a schedule which will be prepared by Seller and delivered to Purchaser for Purchaser's review and approval prior to Closing. Seller and Purchaser will prorate all rents, additional rent, percentage rent, common area maintenance charges, operating expense contributions, tenant reimbursements and escalations, and all other payments under the Leases received as of the Closing Date. Seller will retain monthly basic rent payments paid by tenants and which are attributable to the period through the day prior to the Closing Date. Seller will retain operating expense payments paid by tenants and applicable to those expenses paid or payable by Seller through the day prior to the Closing Date for which Seller is entitled to reimbursement under the Leases (including, without limitation, Taxes, charges for appeals

 

27
 

 

relating to Taxes to the extent permitted under the Leases, and insurance). The expenses will be reasonably estimated if not ascertainable as of the Closing Date. The expenses will be readjusted as provided in Section 5.4(g) below when actual amounts are determined. Seller agrees to and will pay to Purchaser, upon receipt, any rents or other payments by tenants under their respective Leases that apply to periods from and after the Closing or expenses incurred by Purchaser after Closing but which are received by Seller after Closing. Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller, upon receipt, any rents or other payments by tenants under their respective Leases that apply to periods prior to Closing or expenses incurred by Seller prior to Closing but which are received by Purchaser after Closing. It is understood and agreed that Purchaser will not be legally responsible to Seller for the collection of any rents or other charges payable with respect to the Leases which are delinquent or past due as of the Closing Date; but Purchaser agrees that Purchaser will send monthly notices for a period of three (3) consecutive months in an effort to collect any rents and charges not collected as of the Closing Date. Seller shall have the right to pursue the tenants under the Leases for sums due Seller for periods attributable to Seller's ownership of the Asset subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)Seller acknowledges it has no right to dispossess a tenant or terminate a Lease.

 

(ii)Seller will not institute any lawsuit until a period of nine (9) months of unsuccessful collection efforts has occurred and only if the amount due exceeds $5,000.00; the right of Seller to file a lawsuit will be subject to Purchaser’s reasonable consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event will Seller be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings seeking forfeiture of a security deposit, eviction of a tenant or the termination of a Lease. The provisions of this Section 5.4(c) will survive the Closing.

 

Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that, pursuant to the First Amendment between Cousins Tiffany Springs MarketCenter LLC and Ulta Salon, Cosmetics and Fragrance, Inc. ("Ulta"), dated October 29, 2010, Ulta was granted the right to defer payments of Base Rent during the period from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2012, in an aggregate amount of $200,000.00 (the "Ulta Deferred Rent"), but Ulta also agreed to repay this Ulta Deferred Rent in monthly installments of $4,166.67, payable over a forty-seven (47) consecutive month period commencing on October 1, 2012. Although Ulta is contractually obligated to make these monthly payments, such payments were not reflected in the underwriting of the aggregate Ulta lease rent. Accordingly, Seller and Purchaser agree that at Closing Seller shall be entitled to a credit for the portion of the Ulta Deferred Rent which becomes due and payable after the Closing Date, discounted to present value using a discount rate of 8%, and Purchaser shall be entitled to retain all payments relating to the Ulta Deferred Rent which are received after the Closing Date.

 

To the extent there are any payments made to or by Seller under any Permitted Exceptions (or any recorded documents that benefit the Land) (for example, reciprocal easement

 

28
 

 

agreements or other cost-sharing agreements) such amounts will be appropriately prorated between Seller and Purchaser.

 

(d)          Percentage Rents. Percentage rents, if any, collected by Seller or Purchaser from any tenant under such tenant's Lease for the percentage rent accounting period in which the Closing occurs will be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date, as, if, and when received by Seller or Purchaser. Seller's pro rata share will be an amount equal to the total percentage rentals paid for such percentage rent accounting period under the applicable Lease multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of days in such accounting period prior to Closing and the denominator of which will be the total number of days in such accounting period, and Purchaser's pro rata share will be an amount equal to the total percentage rentals paid for such percentage rent accounting period under the applicable Lease multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of days in such accounting period from and after Closing and the denominator of which will be the total number of days in such accounting period. The provisions of this Section 5.4(d) will survive the Closing.

 

(e)          Tenant Concessions; Leasing Commissions. Set forth on Exhibit "K" is a list of Tenant Concessions which have not been earned, performed or paid in full as of the Effective Date. Purchaser will receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the aggregate amount of all such Tenant Concessions remaining unearned, unpaid or unperformed as of Closing, including all costs and expenses relating to the Seller Accountable Lease, if any, and Purchaser will assume the obligation to perform the obligations relative to such Tenant's Concessions and to pay such amounts remaining payable after Closing. Other than with respect to the Seller Accountable Lease, if it is finalized before Closing, Purchaser will further be responsible for the payment of all Tenant Concessions which become due and payable (whether before or after Closing) as a result of any renewal or extensions or expansions of existing Leases approved or deemed approved by Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.4(a) between the Effective Date and the Closing Date and under any new Leases, approved or deemed approved by Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.4(a) (including, without limitation, the Purchaser Accountable Lease, if it is finalized before Closing).

 

Other than with respect to the Seller Accountable Lease, if it is finalized before Closing, Purchaser will be responsible for the payment of all leasing commissions and brokerage fees which become due and payable (whether before or after Closing) as a result of any renewal or extensions or expansions of existing Leases approved or deemed approved by Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.4(a) between the Effective Date and the Closing Date and under any new Leases, approved or deemed approved by Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.4(a) (including, without limitation, the Purchaser Accountable Lease, if it is finalized before Closing).

 

The provisions of this Section 5.4(e) will survive the Closing.

 

(f)          Security Deposits. Purchaser will receive at Closing a credit for all Security Deposits under the Leases.

 

(g)          Utilities; Operating Expenses; Year End Reconciliation. Seller will cooperate with Purchaser to transfer utilities to Purchaser's name effective as of the Closing in a manner so as to avoid any interruption of utilities. The parties will request all utility suppliers to

 

29
 

 

read the utility meters so that the final bill is issued to Seller with charges through the day prior to Closing and Seller will be responsible for all utility charges through the day prior to Closing and Purchaser will be responsible for all utility charges from and after the day of Closing. Personal property taxes (if any), installment payments of special assessment liens, sewer charges, and normally prorated operating expenses actually paid or payable by Seller as of the Closing Date (which will include expenses under all Operating Agreements which, even if terminated at or prior to Closing as provided in Section 3.5, continue by their terms for a period after Closing) will be prorated as of the Closing Date and adjusted against the Purchase Price. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Purchaser and Seller will make a further adjustment for such expenses which may have accrued or been incurred prior to the Closing Date, but which were not paid as of the Closing Date. In addition, within ninety (90) days after the close of the fiscal year(s) used in calculating the pass-through to tenants of taxes, insurance premiums, operating expenses and/or common area maintenance costs under the Leases (where such fiscal year(s) include(s) the Closing Date), Purchaser will prepare year-end reconciliation statements and submit them to Seller for Seller's review and reasonable approval. Purchaser will deliver reconciliation statements to the tenants. Seller and Purchaser will re-prorate, on a fair and equitable basis, all rents and income prorated pursuant to this Section 5.4 as well as all expenses prorated pursuant to this Section 5.4. Purchaser will pay any amount owed to Seller on or before the later of (a) ten (10) business days after the final approval by Seller and Purchaser of the reconciliations statements, and (b) ninety (90) days after the close of the fiscal year or, as applicable, Seller will pay any amounts owed to Purchaser within such time period. When reconciliations are done, all prorations of rent and other income will be made based on the cumulative amounts collected from tenants in such fiscal year and applied first to actual expense amounts paid by Seller prior to the Closing Date and then to Purchaser for actual expense amounts paid by Purchaser from and after the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 5.4(g) will survive the Closing.

instances of damage or destruction: (i) which can be repaired or restored at a cost of $500,000.00 or less; (ii) which are not so extensive as to allow any Major Tenant to terminate its Lease on account of such damage or destruction; and (iii) in which Seller's rights under its rent loss insurance policy covering the Asset are assignable to Purchaser and will continue pending restoration and repair of the damage or destruction.

 

In the event of any material damage to the Asset, Purchaser may, at its option, by giving notice to Seller within the earlier of twenty (20) days after Purchaser is notified by Seller of such damage or destruction, or the Closing Date (but in no event will Purchaser have less than ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified by Seller of such damage or destruction to make the decision) (and if necessary the Closing Date will be extended to give Purchaser the full 10-day period to make such election): (i) terminate this Agreement, and Escrow Agent will promptly return the Earnest Money to Purchaser, or (ii) proceed to close under this Agreement, receive (and Seller will assign to Purchaser at the Closing Seller's rights under insurance policies to receive) any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to the period on or after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (less any amounts reasonably expended for restoration or collection of proceeds), and Purchaser will assume responsibility for such repair. If Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller notice of its election within the period set forth above, Purchaser will be deemed to have elected to proceed with the Closing as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. If Purchaser elects clause (ii) above, Seller will cooperate with Purchaser after the Closing to assist Purchaser in obtaining the insurance proceeds from Seller's insurers. For purposes of this Agreement "material damage or destruction" means all instances of damage or destruction that are not immaterial, as defined above.

 

7.2           Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, all or any material part of the Asset (as reasonably determined by Purchaser) is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body having the power of eminent domain or is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or a sale in lieu), or if Seller has received written notice that any material condemnation action or proceeding with respect to the Asset is contemplated by a body having the power of eminent domain, Seller will give Purchaser prompt written notice, and Purchaser may by giving written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after the receipt of such notice from Seller, elect to cancel this Agreement. If Purchaser chooses to cancel this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.2, then the Earnest Money will be returned promptly to Purchaser by Escrow Agent and the rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities of the parties under this Agreement will immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect, except for those provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not elect to cancel this Agreement, the sale of the Asset will be effected with no further adjustment and without reduction of the Purchase Price, and at the Closing, Seller will credit to Purchaser all awards theretofore received by Seller, and will assign, transfer, and set over to Purchaser all of the right, title, and interest of Seller in and to any awards applicable to the Asset that have been or that may be made for such taking.

 

ARTICLE 8
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

 

8.1           Purchaser's Default. If Purchaser fails to consummate this transaction for any reason other than Seller's default, failure of a condition to Purchaser's obligation to close, or the

 

32
 

 

exercise by Purchaser of an express right of termination granted in this Agreement, Seller will be entitled, as its sole remedy at law and in equity, to terminate this Agreement and to receive and retain the Earnest Money as full liquidated damages for such default of Purchaser. The parties acknowledge that it is impossible to estimate more precisely the damages which might be suffered by Seller on Purchaser's default, and that the Earnest Money is a reasonable estimate of Seller's probable loss in the event of default by Purchaser. Seller's retention of the Earnest Money is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages. The right to retain the Earnest Money as full liquidated damages is Seller's sole and exclusive remedy in the event of a default by Purchaser, and Seller hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it will not) sue Purchaser: (a) for specific performance of this Agreement, or (b) to recover damages in excess of the Earnest Money. The foregoing liquidated damages provision will not apply to or limit Purchaser's obligations under Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.7, 5.4, and 10.1 of this Agreement. Purchaser waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it will not) sue Seller or seek or claim a refund of the Earnest Money on the grounds it is unreasonable in amount and exceeds Seller's actual damages or that its retention by Seller constitutes a penalty and not agreed upon and reasonable liquidated damages.

 

8.2           Seller's Default. If Seller fails to consummate this transaction for any reason other than Purchaser's default, failure of a condition to Seller's obligation to close, or the permitted termination of this Agreement by Seller or Purchaser as expressly provided in this Agreement (not including for this purpose a termination by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 8.2), Purchaser will be entitled, as its sole remedy, except as set forth below in this Section 8.2 and in Section 11.10, either (a) to receive the return of the Earnest Money from Escrow Agent, which return will operate to terminate this Agreement and, except as set forth below, release Seller from any and all liability under this Agreement, or (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller's obligation to execute and deliver the documents required to convey the Asset to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement. Seller's willful withholding of a disclosure, until after the expiration of the Inspection Period, of known information that would render a representation or warranty materially untrue or materially misleading will constitute a default by Seller. In addition to the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to recover from Seller the total amount of the reasonable and actual out of pockets costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and Purchaser's pursuit of the purchase of the Asset, up to, but not exceeding, $250,000.00. Except as set forth herein, Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of Seller's default. Purchaser will be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and to receive a return of the Earnest Money from Escrow Agent if Purchaser fails to file a suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Asset is located on or before sixty (60) days following the date on which the Closing was to have occurred. The foregoing provisions will not apply to or limit Seller's obligations under Section 10.1 of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 9
ASSIGNMENT

 

9.1           Assignment. Subject to the next following sentence, this Agreement is not assignable by Purchaser without the written consent of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this Agreement and Purchaser's rights may be transferred and assigned to an affiliate of the REIT. For the purposes of this Agreement, an "affiliate" means an entity owned

 

33
 

 

or controlled by or under common ownership or control with the REIT. Further, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser is entering into this Agreement for and on behalf of a special purpose entity named ARC TSKCYMO001, LLC ("Approved Assignee"), which is an affiliate of the REIT, and Purchaser intends, and shall have the right, to assign Approved Assignee its rights under this Agreement prior to the Closing. Any assignee or transferee under any such assignment or transfer by Purchaser as to which Seller's written consent has been given or as to which Seller's consent is not required will expressly assume all of Purchaser's duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement by written instrument delivered to Seller as a condition to the effectiveness of the assignment. No assignment will relieve the original Purchaser of any duties or obligations under this Agreement, and the written assignment and assumption instrument will expressly so provide. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of Seller and Purchaser and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is not intended and will not be construed to create any rights in or to be enforceable in any part by any other persons.

 

ARTICLE 10
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

 

 

10.1     Broker. At the Closing, and only in the event the Closing occurs, Seller will pay a brokerage commission to Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. ("Broker") pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Broker. Broker is representing Seller in this transaction. Seller will indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, and expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred and costs of litigation, Purchaser ever suffers or incurs because of any claim by any agent, salesman, or broker, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with regard to this Agreement or the sale and purchase of the Asset, and arising out of any acts or agreements of Seller, including any claim asserted by Broker. Likewise, Purchaser will indemnify and hold Seller free and harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, and expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred and costs of litigation, Seller ever suffers or incurs because of any claim by any agent, salesman, or broker, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with respect to this Agreement or the sale and purchase of the Asset and arising out of the acts or agreements of Purchaser. This Section 10.1 will survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

such Business Day (otherwise, it will be deemed received on the next Business Day after the day of transmission of such notice and confirmation of such transmission, provided a second copy of the notice is sent by another permitted method). Notice by either party may be given by the attorneys for such party.

 

11.2     Possession. Full and exclusive possession of the Asset, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and the rights of the tenants under the Leases, will be delivered by Seller to Purchaser on the Closing Date.

 

11.3     Time Periods. If the time period by which any right, option, or election provided under this Agreement must be exercised, or by which any act required under this Agreement must be performed, or by which the Closing must be held, expires on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, then such time period will be automatically extended through the close of business on the next regularly scheduled Business Day.

 

11.4     Publicity. The parties agree that, prior to and in connection with Closing, no party will, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, contact or conduct negotiations with public officials, make any public announcements or issue press releases to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party, unless required by law, including making such public statements or filings as may be required under any SEC regulations applicable to either Seller or Purchaser (or their affiliates), or as may be otherwise advised by Seller's or Purchaser's counsel, as the case may be, if Seller or Purchaser is a public entity or is owned or controlled by a public entity. The foregoing shall not restrict Purchaser from contacting public officials to the extent necessary in connection with Purchaser's due diligence to obtain verification of zoning, land use entitlements, permits, compliance with code and/or certificates of occupancy. Seller and Purchaser will each have the right to approve the initial press release of the other party issued in connection with the Closing, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. No party will record this Agreement or any notice of this Agreement.

 

11.5     Discharge of Obligations. The acceptance by Purchaser of the Limited Warranty Deed will be deemed to constitute the full performance and discharge of each and every warranty and representation made by Seller and Purchaser and every agreement and obligation on the part of Seller and Purchaser to be performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, except those warranties, representations, covenants and agreements which are specifically provided in this Agreement to survive Closing.

 

11.6     Severability. This Agreement is intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of the provision to any person or circumstance, is, for any reason and to any extent held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will not be affected and will be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

 

11.7     Construction. This Agreement will not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that this Agreement may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being mutually acknowledged and agreed that Seller

 

36
 

 

and Purchaser and their respective counsel have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement. Accordingly, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments.

 

11.8     Survival. Except for those provisions of this Agreement which are stated to expressly survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement will merge into the execution and delivery of the deed from Seller to Purchaser.

 

11.9     General Provisions. No failure of either party to exercise any power given under this Agreement or to insist on strict compliance with any obligation specified in this Agreement, and no custom or practice at variance with the terms of this Agreement, will constitute a waiver of either party's right to demand exact compliance with the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of Seller and Purchaser, and no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, oral or otherwise, not embodied in this Agreement or are or will be of any force or effect. Any amendment to this Agreement must be in writing and executed by both Seller and Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, the provisions of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding on the parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns. Time is of the essence in this Agreement. The headings inserted at the beginning of each paragraph are for convenience only, and do not add to or subtract from the meaning of the contents of each paragraph. This Agreement will be construed and interpreted under the laws of the State in which the Asset is located. All personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether used in the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender will include all genders, and all references to the singular will include the plural and vice versa.

 

11.10   Attorneys' Fees. If Purchaser or Seller brings an action at law or equity against the other in order to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or as a result of an alleged default under this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action will be entitled to recover court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred from the non-prevailing party.

 

11.11   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when taken together will constitute one and the same original. To facilitate the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the parties may execute and exchange counterparts of the signature pages by facsimile or email (in PDF format), and the signature page of either party to any counterpart may be appended to any other counterpart.

 

11.12   Survival. The provisions of this Article 11 will survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

11.13   Rule 3-14 Audit and SEC Filing Requirements. Within nine (9) months after the Closing, Purchaser's auditor may conduct an audit, as may be required of Purchaser pursuant to Rule 3-14 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X (the "Audit"), of the accounting records of the Asset for the last complete fiscal year immediately preceding the Closing Date and the stub period through the Closing Date (the "Audit Period"). Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser's auditor in the conduct of the Audit, but shall not be required to incur any cost, liability or expense, and Purchaser shall advance to Seller its

 

37
 

 

estimated reasonable, out of pocket costs to be incurred in connection with said cooperation. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) Purchaser or its designated independent or other auditor may audit the accounting records of the Property, at Purchaser's expense and, upon Purchaser's prior written request of at least ten (10) Business Days, Seller shall allow Purchaser's auditors reasonable access to such books and records as are then maintained by Seller in respect to the Property and pertaining to the Audit Period as reasonably necessary to conduct the Audit (but without any specific obligation to maintain any such books and records); and (b) Seller shall use reasonable efforts to provide to Purchaser such existing financial information as may be reasonably required by Purchaser for Purchaser's auditors to conduct the Audit. Any such audit or review shall occur at the corporate headquarters of Seller; provided, Seller will provide all relevant information electronically to Purchaser's auditor if such relevant information exists in electronic format as of the date that Seller receives Purchaser’s Audit request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have no obligation to update any information previously provided to Purchaser or its auditors, and the obligations of Seller hereunder shall be strictly limited to providing such information or documentation as may be in the possession or control of Seller, at no unreimbursed cost to Seller, and in the format that Seller has from time to time maintained such information, with no obligation to compile such information except other than in the form it then exists. Seller shall provide a letter to Purchaser's auditors in substantially the form attached hereto as Schedule 12 or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser. All information provided in connection with this Section 11.13 shall be subject to the confidentiality requirements of Section 3.7 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller has not and does not warrant the accuracy of its accounting records and Purchaser shall not be entitled to rely upon the same as being true, correct, complete or accurate.

WITNESSETH:

 

A.           Purchaser and Seller have entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement fully executed June __, 2013 (the "Contract").

 

B.           Section 2.3(a) of the Contract provides for Purchaser's payment to Escrow Agent, contemporaneously with Purchaser's execution and delivery of the Contract to Seller, of $650,000.00 as the Initial Earnest Money to be held and applied by Escrow Agent in accordance with this Agreement.

 

C.           Section 4.4(a) of the Contract provides for a portion of the Purchase Price to be held by Escrow Agent in connection with the NTB Contract (as defined in the Contract).

 

D.           Seller, Purchaser and Escrow Agent desire to set forth the terms and conditions of Escrow Agent's holding, investment and disbursement of the Escrow Funds and the NTB Escrowed Funds (as defined in the Contract).

 

In consideration of the agreements set forth in the Contract and the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, Seller, Purchaser and Escrow Agent, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1.          Escrow Agent acknowledges receipt of a check or wire transfer, payable to the order of Escrow Agent, in the amount of $650,000.00 as the Initial Earnest Money. The Initial Earnest Money, together with the First Additional Earnest Money and Second Additional Earnest Money (if any), as defined in the Contract, the NTB Escrowed Funds, and all interest and other income earned on the Earnest Money (as such term is defined in the Contract), are referred to as the "Escrow Funds". Escrow Agent agrees to hold, administer, and disburse the Escrow Funds pursuant to this Agreement and the Contract. Escrow Agent will invest the Escrow Funds in a money market account with a national banking association or other bank acceptable to Seller and Purchaser in the Boston, Massachusetts metropolitan area. All interest or other income will be earned for the account of Purchaser and will be held, invested and disbursed as a part of the Escrow Funds.

If Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser or Seller within the ten (10) day period which countermands the earlier notice of disbursement, then Escrow Agent will withhold such disbursement until both Purchaser and Seller can agree upon a disbursement of the Escrow Funds. Purchaser and Seller agree to send to the other, pursuant to Paragraph 6 below, a duplicate copy of any written notice sent to Escrow Agent and requesting any such disbursement or countermanding a request for disbursement.

 

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

 

4.          Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 2 above, in the event of a dispute between Purchaser and Seller sufficient in the sole discretion of Escrow Agent to justify its doing so, Escrow Agent will be entitled to tender the Escrow Funds into the registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction, together with such legal pleadings as it may deem appropriate, and will be discharged from all further duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any such legal action may be brought in such court as Escrow Agent determines to have jurisdiction.

 

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

 

6.          Notices under this Agreement will be given in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Contract.

Financing Plan, as amended by these ordinances, is hereinafter referred to as the "Amended Plan"), and the Agreement between the Tax Increment Financing Commission of Kansas City, Missouri (the "Commission") and MD Management, Inc. ("MD") dated March 30, 2006 (the "Redevelopment Agreement") for the Construction of Certain Road Improvements Within and Adjacent to Projects 6-10 and 14-20 of the Amended Plan. By accepting this deed, Grantee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the conveyance is subject to the terms and conditions of the Redevelopment Agreement which are, by the terms of the Redevelopment Agreement, binding upon the owner of the Property, including, without limitation, the obligation to (i) provide to the Commission the name, address, federal tax identification number, MITS number and location code (if applicable) (the "Business Information") of each business located on the Property which is obligated to pay local, county, state or federal taxes, with the exception of property zoned for residential uses, and thereafter such documentation as is required by the Commission's Economic Activity Tax Policy and Procedures then in effect (the "Eats Documentation"), and (ii) include a provision in all subsequent deeds or leases from Grantee for all or a portion of the Property obligating the transferee under such deed or lease to furnish the Business Information and the Eats Documentation. The foregoing obligations shall inure to and be binding upon Grantee and its heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns and the successors and assigns of any of Grantee's transferees or lessees and shall constitute a benefit held by MD and the Commission until such time as the Amended Plan terminates.

 

By accepting this deed, Grantee hereby acknowledges that the Property is located in an "Impact Fee Benefit District" (as that term is defined below) and is subject to the Kansas City, Missouri Impact Fee Ordinance (Chapter 39 of the Kansas City Municipal Code) (the "Ordinance"), which provides that any person or entity constructing a new development within one of Kansas City's established arterial street Impact Fee Benefit Districts is obligated to pay an arterial street impact fee (an "Impact Fee"). Grantee further acknowledges the Ordinance requires payment of an Impact Fee as a condition to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for buildings constructed on the Property, and agrees that so long as the previous owner of the Property, Tiffany Square, Inc., a Kansas corporation ("TSI") has Impact Fee credits ("Credits") available from Kansas City, Missouri ("City"), Grantee will purchase Credits in the amount of its required Impact Fees from TSI at the time Impact Fees are otherwise payable to the City with respect to the Property. Such purchase will be at a purchase price for the Credits equal to the purchase price which would otherwise be payable to the City for such Impact Fees if the Impact Fees were paid directly to the City. Grantee will require its tenants and occupants of the Property to purchase said Credits as described above.
