As used herein, “Unpermitted Exceptions” means, (i) all mortgages, deeds of trust, mechanics liens (other than with respect to the Ongoing Work, provided that Seller satisfies its obligations with respect thereto under Section 11.5) for work, labor and/or materials procured by, or by Manager at the direction of, Seller, judgment liens, Tax liens or any other monetary liens or monetary encumbrances (other than real estate Taxes or assessments that are a lien but not yet due and payable) encumbering title to the Property which may be removed in accordance with its terms by payment of a liquidated amount (any of the foregoing
20
2230752.03F-NYCSR03A - MSW


individually or collectively, “Monetary Encumbrances”), (ii) any New Title Exceptions objected to by Purchaser that are voluntarily created by Seller, or by Manager at the direction of Seller, without Purchaser’s consent, (iii) the Operating Lease, (iv) Taxes which constitute Title Exceptions which would be delinquent if unpaid at Closing; provided, however, that if any such Taxes are payable in installments, such obligation shall apply only to the extent such installments would be delinquent if unpaid at Closing, and (v) any other Title Exceptions objected to by Purchaser (excluding Monetary Encumbrances) which may be removed in accordance with its terms by payment of a liquidated amount, which, in each case, Seller is required to remove of record at or prior to Closing, regardless of whether Purchaser fails to object to such Title Exceptions, provided that in the case of Title Exceptions described in clause (v), Seller’s obligation to remove such exceptions shall be limited to the aggregate sum of One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (other than Title Exceptions set forth on Schedule 5.1.1, which shall not be applied towards such sum), beyond which such Title Exceptions shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions; provided, however, that (i) the rights and interests of customers and guests at the Hotel to occupy rooms as guests only on a transient license basis, (ii) the rights of tenants or licensees under the Tenant Leases, as tenants only, pursuant to the Tenant Leases, (iii) the rights of Manager or any of its Affiliates under the HMA Documents, (iv) the rights of the Condominium Association and the Condominium Board under the Condominium Documents, (v) the rights of any party other than Seller under the Golf Course Use Agreements, the Tennis License Agreement, the Hotel Facilities Agreement, the Cost Sharing Agreement or the Revenue Sharing Agreement, (vi) the rights of any party to any instrument or agreement which constitutes a Permitted Exception, and (vii) all liens and encumbrances caused or created by Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Inspectors, shall in no event constitute Unpermitted Exceptions and shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions.
5.3.2.    Permitted Exceptions. All Title Exceptions to which Purchaser does not object to in writing prior to the Effective Date, other than the Unpermitted Exceptions, shall constitute Permitted Exceptions to title to the Real Property and are hereby approved by Purchaser.
5.3.3.    Updated Title Commitment or Survey. If any update of the Title Commitment (the “Title Report Update”) delivered to or received by Purchaser after the Effective Date discloses any Title Exception which was not previously disclosed in the Title Commitment (a “New Title Exception”), or the Updated Survey discloses any defect which was not previously disclosed in the Existing Survey (a “New Survey Defect”), and (i) such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect does not constitute a Permitted Exception, (ii) Purchaser otherwise did not have Knowledge of such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect as of or prior to the Effective Date, (iii) such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect would have more than a de minimis adverse effect on the operation of the Property after the Closing, and (iv) such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect was not caused by Purchaser or any Person on behalf of Purchaser, then Purchaser shall have the right to request Seller to remove or cure such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect at or prior to Closing by providing written notice to Seller within the earlier of: (A) five (5) Business Days after receiving such Title Report Update or Updated Survey, or (B) the Closing (the “New Title and Survey Objection Notice”). Should Purchaser fail to timely deliver to Seller a New Title and Survey Objection Notice, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved such matters and such matters shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions; provided, however, that if any new Unpermitted Exceptions appear in a Title Report Update, Seller shall be required to cure such Unpermitted Exceptions regardless of whether Purchaser fails to object to such Unpermitted Exception so long as Purchaser delivers to Seller a copy of the Title Report Update or Updated Survey setting forth such Unpermitted Exceptions within the same period for delivery of a New Title and Survey Objection Notice (failing which, such Unpermitted Exceptions shall be deemed accepted by Purchaser and shall thenceforth be Permitted Exceptions hereunder). If Purchaser timely provides a New Title and Survey Objection Notice to Seller, Seller may elect, by providing written notice (the “New Title and Survey Election Notice”) to Purchaser within the earlier of five (5) Business Days after Seller’s receipt
21
2230752.03F-NYCSR03A - MSW


of such New Title and Survey Objection Notice or Closing, to notify Purchaser in writing whether it intends (1) to remove or cure such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect at or prior to Closing, or (2) not to remove or cure such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect (provided that Seller shall be required to remove and/or cure any Unpermitted Exceptions as of the Closing so long as Purchaser timely delivers to Seller a copy of the Title Report Update, updated Existing Survey or Updated Survey setting forth such Unpermitted Exceptions as provided in the preceding sentence). If Seller does not provide a New Title and Survey Election Notice to Purchaser within such time period, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove or cure such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect pursuant to clause (2) of the preceding sentence (other than Unpermitted Exceptions for which Purchaser has timely delivered to Seller a copy of the Title Report Update, updated Existing Survey or Updated Survey setting forth such Unpermitted Exceptions as provided above, all of which Seller is required to remove and/or cure as of Closing). If Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to remove or cure a New Title Exception or New Survey Defect, then Purchaser shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to such election (or deemed election) of Seller, to elect, by providing written notice (the “New Title and Survey Response Notice”) to Seller within the earlier of five (5) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of the New Title and Survey Election Notice (or the date on which Seller is deemed to have elected not to remove or cure such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect, as applicable) or the Closing to (I) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser in accordance with the Deposit Escrow Agreement, and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination, or (II) proceed to Closing pursuant to this Agreement and accept title to the Real Property subject to such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect which thereafter shall be deemed to constitute a Permitted Exception, without any credit against the Purchase Price for such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect. If Purchaser does not timely provide a New Title and Survey Response Notice to Seller within such time period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed to Closing pursuant to clause (II) of the preceding sentence.
5.3.4.    Removal of Unpermitted Exceptions. Seller shall have no obligation to cure any Title Exceptions other than the Unpermitted Exceptions. Seller may cure any Unpermitted Exception by removing such Unpermitted Exception from title, causing the Title Company to omit such Unpermitted Exception from the Title Policy, or causing the Title Company to provide affirmative coverage with respect to such Unpermitted Exception or collection thereof (other than for Monetary Encumbrances), at any time prior to or at Closing.
5.3.5.    Replacement of Title Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article V, in the event that the Title Company or any title company retained by Purchaser shall raise an exception to title which is not a Permitted Exception, Seller shall have no obligation to eliminate such exception and Purchaser shall have no right to terminate the Agreement by reason of such exception (and such exception shall be deemed a Permitted Exception) if the Title Company or another nationally recognized title company, as applicable, shall be prepared to insure title to the Property at regular rates either omitting, or providing affirmative coverage with respect to, such exception as provided in Section 5.3.4.
5.3.6.    Extension of Closing Date. If Seller determines that it will be unable to cure any Unpermitted Exceptions in the manner provided in Section 5.3.4 at or prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, subject to Section 10.1, to postpone the Closing one or more time(s) to a date no later than December 30, 2022. upon written notice thereof to Purchaser no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the then scheduled Closing Date.
5.4    Title Policy. At Closing, Seller shall cause the Title Company (or another nationally recognized title company) to issue a title insurance policy to Purchaser (which may be in the form of a mark-up of the Title Commitment) in accordance with the Title Commitment, insuring
22
2230752.03F-NYCSR03A - MSW


Purchaser’s valid fee interest in the Land as of the Closing Date, in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (the “Title Policy”). Purchaser may obtain any endorsements to the Title Policy as may be available in the jurisdiction where the Land is located but the same shall not be a condition to the Closing. The Title Policy shall be an ALTA extended coverage title policy if Purchaser pays the premiums and costs of obtaining such extended coverage as provided in Section 11.4.2.
5.5    Conveyance of the Land. At Closing, Fee Seller shall convey Fee Seller’s right, title and interest in the Land subject only to all (i) Permitted Exceptions, and (ii) Unpermitted Exceptions which are cured in a manner prescribed under Section 5.3.4 at or prior to Closing.

Seller shall receive a credit at Closing in an amount equal to any amounts Fee Seller or Leasehold Seller paid under the Ongoing Work Contracts for work during the period after the Cut-Off Time, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at the Closing in an amount equal to any amounts which have accrued with respect to work during the period through the Cut-Off Time under the Ongoing Work Contracts but not been paid as of the Closing. Upon assignment of any applicable Ongoing Work Contracts by Fee Seller and/or Leasehold Seller to Purchaser and receipt by Purchaser and Seller of the applicable credits described in this Section 11.5.1, Seller shall have no further liability to Purchaser or any other Person for the Ongoing Work or the costs associated therewith. Seller shall provide any lien waivers or other reasonable documentation required by the Title Company (as modified to include Seller’s reasonable revisions) to provide mechanics lien coverage under the Title Policy for the Ongoing Work which may have been completed prior to the Closing Date.
11.5.2.    Prior to the Closing, Seller shall not terminate any Ongoing Work Contracts, or enter into any new contracts for capital projects on the Property, including any engineering agreements, architect agreements, development design agreements, contractor agreements and similar agreements, or any amendments of Ongoing Work Contracts which modify the scope of work or consideration thereunder (collectively, “New Ongoing Work Contracts”), in each case without the consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event any New Ongoing Work Contract is entered into with the consent of Purchaser, such New Ongoing Work Contract shall become an Ongoing Work Contract and the work contemplated thereby shall be Ongoing Work, all of which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 11.5.1 above; provided, however, that notwithstanding the terms and conditions of Section 11.5.1 above, Seller shall receive a credit at Closing in an amount equal to any amounts Fee Seller or Leasehold Seller paid under the New Ongoing Work Contracts for any period, and Purchaser shall not be entitled to any credit for amounts paid or payable under the New Ongoing Work Contracts. Purchaser has pre-approved the information, documentation and parameters for certain anticipated New Ongoing Work Contracts as set forth on Schedule 11.5.2, and acknowledges and agrees that its approval rights set forth in this Section 11.5.2 with respect
47
2230752.03F-NYCSR03A - MSW


to such anticipated New Ongoing Work Contracts shall be limited solely to the terms and provisions of the final documentation therefor which is inconsistent with the information, documentation and parameters set forth on Schedule 11.5.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event Seller terminates any New Ongoing Work Contracts in accordance with this Section 11.5.2, such New Ongoing Work Contracts shall not be assigned to Purchaser, and Seller shall not receive a credit for any costs paid thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall have no obligation to enter into any New Ongoing Work Contract, regardless of whether Purchaser has approved the same. In the event any New Ongoing Work Contracts are entered into or any New Ongoing Work Contracts are terminated as provided in this Section 11.5.2, all representations and warranties pertaining to the Ongoing Work and Ongoing Work Contracts shall be deemed modified accordingly.
11.6    Unresolved Items. This Section 11.6 shall apply to Unresolved Items which are to be resolved by the Arbiter pursuant Section 11.2.22. Any Unresolved Items shall be resolved by the Arbiter consistent with fair and reasonable industry standards. Purchaser shall provide (or cause Manager to provide, as applicable) to the Arbiter all access to the books and records of the Property as are necessary to promptly resolve the Unresolved Items. Purchaser and Seller shall act in good faith to cause the Arbiter to resolve any Unresolved Items within ten (10) Business Days after such items have been referred to it. The costs, fees and expenses of the Arbiter shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser. The items of the Final Statement which have been agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser under Section 11.2.22, together with the Unresolved Items as resolved by the Arbiter in accordance with this Section 11.6, shall, collectively, constitute the Final Statement for all purposes hereunder. Purchaser and Seller agree to (i) be bound by such Final Statement and (ii) act in accordance with such Final Statement in making any true-up payments under Section 11.2.22, in each case unless otherwise required by a change in Applicable Law or in connection with any reprorations expressly provided for under Sections 11.2.1, 11.2.11 or 11.2.15. The provisions of this Section 11.6 shall survive the Closing until the Final Statement is resolved as provided in this Section 11.6 and the final true-up payment has been made pursuant thereto.
ARTICLE XII
TRANSITION PROCEDURES
12.1    Safe Deposit Boxes. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall notify all guests or customers who are then using a safe deposit box at the Property (which is located outside of a guest room) advising them of the pending change in ownership of the Property and requesting them to conduct an inventory and verify the contents of such safe deposit box. All inventories by such guests or customers shall be conducted under the joint supervision of employees, agents or representatives of Seller and Purchaser. Upon such inventory and verification (or in the event such guest or customer does not verify the contents of such safe deposit box, the removal by such guest or customer of the contents thereof), Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all keys, receipts and agreements for such safe deposit box (and thereafter such safe deposit box shall be deemed an “Inventoried Safe Deposit Box”). If this Agreement is terminated after such inventory, Purchaser shall return all keys, receipts and agreements to Seller for such Inventoried Safe Deposit Boxes immediately upon such termination. Upon Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all keys in Seller’s Possession for all safe deposit boxes not then in use, and a list of all safe deposit boxes which are then in use, but not yet inventoried by the depositor, with the name and room number of such depositor. After the Closing, the Parties shall make appropriate arrangements for guests and customers at the Hotel to inventory and verify the contents of the non-Inventoried Safe Deposit Boxes (or remove the contents thereof), and upon such inventory and verification or removal, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all keys, receipt and agreements for such safe deposit box (and such safe deposit box thereafter shall constitute an Inventoried Safe Deposit Box). Purchaser shall be responsible for, and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees in accordance with Article XV from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred
48
2230752.03F-NYCSR03A - MSW


by any Seller Indemnitees with respect to, any theft, loss or damage to the contents of any safe deposit box from and after the time such safe deposit box is deemed an Inventoried Safe Deposit Box pursuant to this Section 12.1. Seller shall be responsible for, and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnitees in accordance with Article XV from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to, any theft, loss or damage to the contents of any safe deposit box prior to the time such safe deposit box is deemed an Inventoried Safe Deposit Box. This Section 12.1 shall survive the Closing.
12.2    Baggage. On the Closing Date, employees, agents or representatives of the Parties jointly shall make a written inventory of all baggage, boxes and similar items checked in or left in the care of Seller at the Hotel, and Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the keys to any secured area which such baggage and other items are stored (and thereafter such baggage, boxes and other items inventoried shall be deemed the “Inventoried Baggage”). Purchaser shall be responsible for, and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees in accordance with Article XV from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Seller Indemnitees with respect to any theft, loss or damage to any Inventoried Baggage from and after the time of such inventory, and any other baggage, boxes or similar items left in the care of Purchaser which was not inventoried by the Parties. Seller shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnitees in accordance with Article XV from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to any theft, loss or damage to any Inventoried Baggage prior to the time of such inventory, and any other baggage, boxes or similar items left in the care of Seller which was not inventoried by the Parties. This Section 12.2 shall survive the Closing.
12.3    IT Systems. With respect to the IT Systems other than the Excluded Property, the Parties shall cooperate with each other in (i) obtaining any consents or approvals necessary for the assignment or transfer of such IT Systems from Seller to Purchaser, or a new license for such IT Systems (as the case may be), and (ii) Purchaser shall pay any fees or expenses charged by the licensor, vendor or supplier of such IT Systems in respect of such assignment or transfer or new license (as the case may be).
ARTICLE XIII
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
13.1    Seller’s Default. If, at or any time prior to Closing, Seller fails to perform its covenants or obligations under this Agreement in any material respect, which breach or default is not caused by a Purchaser Default (a “Seller Default”), and no Purchaser Default has occurred which remains uncured, then Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedies, may elect to (a) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser in accordance with the Deposit Escrow Agreement, and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination; (b) proceed to Closing without any reduction in or setoff against the Purchase Price, in which case Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such Seller Default; or (c) seek a court order for specific performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a termination of this Agreement due to a Seller Default, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for all of its reasonable actual, third party out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder including, without limitation, diligence costs, financing costs and attorneys’ fees and costs (as substantiated by invoices for the same), in an aggregate amount not to exceed Three Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($350,000.00).
13.2    Seller’s Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not have the right to exercise its remedies under clauses (a) or (c) of Section 13.1 for a Seller Default or failure of a Purchaser Closing Condition under Section 9.2.1(a) or 9.2.1(b) (a “Purchaser Closing Condition Failure”), unless Purchaser has provided written notice to Seller
49
2230752.03F-NYCSR03A - MSW


specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Seller Default or Purchaser Closing Condition Failure (as the case may be), and Seller has not cured such Seller Default or Purchaser Closing Condition Failure (as the case may be) on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Seller Cure Period”). Seller shall further have the right (but not the obligation) to cure any Seller Default or Purchaser Closing Condition Failure by providing an indemnification to the Purchaser Indemnitees in accordance with Article XV from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitees as a result of the events or circumstances on which such Seller Default or Purchaser Closing Condition Failure is based (the “Indemnification Cure Right”), in which case Section 15.2 shall be deemed amended at Closing to provide for such indemnification by Seller, and Purchaser shall proceed to Closing without any reduction in or setoff against the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the Indemnification Cure Right shall be limited to Indemnification Losses that are liquidated amounts or otherwise readily ascertainable. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnification Cure Right shall (x) not be available to cure any Purchaser Closing Conditions under Section 9.2.1(c) through (f), (y) not be subject to the Threshold or the Cap, and (z) if Seller elects to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to the Indemnification Cure Right, such obligation shall survive Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period (the Parties agreeing that any such statute of limitations with respect to such indemnification obligation shall be tolled pending any claim period and during the pendency of any claims related to the underlying matter).
13.3    Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser fails to perform any of its other covenants or obligations under this Agreement in any material respect which breach or default is not caused by a Seller Default (a “Purchaser Default”), and such Purchaser Default is not the result of a Seller Default that has occurred and remains uncured, then Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may elect to (A) terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Purchaser, in which case the Deposit shall be disbursed to Seller in accordance with the Deposit Escrow Agreement, and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination, or (B) proceed to Closing pursuant to this Agreement, in which case Seller shall be deemed to have waived such Purchaser Default.
13.4    LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED PURSUANT TO SECTION 13.3 HEREOF, THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER WOULD SUSTAIN AS A RESULT OF SUCH TERMINATION WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO ASCERTAIN. ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT SELLER SHALL RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS FULL AND COMPLETE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES (AND NOT AS A PENALTY) AS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR SUCH TERMINATION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IN ADDITION TO THE DEPOSIT AND REIMBURSEMENT OF SUCH COSTS AND EXPENSES, SELLER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THOSE OBLIGATIONS OF PURCHASER WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE SUCH TERMINATION. THIS SECTION 13.4 SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
ARTICLE XIV
RISK OF LOSS
14.1    Casualty. If, at any time after the Effective Date and prior to Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, the Real Property or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed by fire or any other casualty (a “Casualty”), Seller shall give written notice of such Casualty to Purchaser promptly after the occurrence of such Casualty.
14.1.1.    Material Casualty. If the amount of the repair restoration of the Real Property required by a Casualty equals or exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price (a “Material Casualty”), and such Material Casualty was not caused by Purchaser or Purchaser’s
50
2230752.03F-NYCSR03A - MSW


Inspectors or their respective employees, agents or representatives, then Purchaser shall have the right to elect, by providing written notice to Seller within the earlier of December 20, 2022 or ten (10) days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s written notice of such Material Casualty, to (a) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser in accordance with the Deposit Escrow Agreement, and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination, or (b) proceed to Closing, without terminating this Agreement, in which case Seller shall provide Purchaser with a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the applicable insurance deductible, and transfer and assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all proceeds from all casualty and business interruption insurance policies maintained by Seller with respect to the Property, except those proceeds allocable to business interruption and costs incurred by Seller for the period prior to the Closing. If Purchaser fails to provide written notice of its election to Seller within such time period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed to Closing pursuant to clause (b) of the preceding sentence. If the Closing is scheduled to occur within Purchaser’s ten (10) day election period, the Closing shall be postponed until the date which is five (5) Business Days after the expiration of such ten (10) day election period but in no event beyond December 30, 2022.
14.1.2.    Non-Material Casualty. In the event of any (i) Casualty which is not a Material Casualty, or (ii) Material Casualty which is caused by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Inspectors or their respective employees, agents or representatives, then Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement, but shall proceed to Closing, in which case Seller shall (A) if such Casualty was not caused by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Inspectors or their respective employees, agents or representatives, provide Purchaser with a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the lesser of: (1) the applicable insurance deductible, and (2) the reasonable estimated costs for the repair or restoration required by such Casualty to substantially the same quality and condition of the Property immediately prior to such Casualty, and (B) transfer and assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all proceeds from all casualty and lost profits insurance policies maintained by Seller with respect to the Property, except those proceeds allocable to any lost profits or costs incurred by Seller for the period prior to the Closing.
14.2    Condemnation. If, at any time after the Effective Date and prior to Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, any Governmental Authority commences any condemnation proceeding or other proceeding in eminent domain with respect to all or any portion of the Real Property (a “Condemnation”), Seller shall give written notice of such Condemnation to Purchaser promptly after Seller receives notice of such Condemnation.
14.2.1.    Material Condemnation. If the Condemnation would (i) result in the permanent loss of more than twenty percent (20%) of the value of the Property as determined by an independent third-party appraisal of an appraiser reasonably selected by Seller, (ii) result in any permanent material reduction or restriction in access to the Land or Improvements, or (iii) have a materially adverse effect on the operation of the Property after the Closing Date as conducted prior to such Condemnation (a “Material Condemnation”), then Purchaser shall have the right to elect, by providing written notice to Seller within the earlier of December 20, 2022 or ten (10) days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s written notice of such Material Condemnation, to (A) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser in accordance with the Deposit Escrow Agreement, and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination, or (B) proceed to Closing, without terminating this Agreement, in which case Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in all proceeds and awards from such Material Condemnation. If Purchaser fails to provide written notice of its election to Seller within such time period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed to Closing pursuant to clause (B) of the preceding sentence. If the Closing is scheduled to occur within Purchaser’s ten
51
2230752.03F-NYCSR03A - MSW


(10) day election period, the Closing shall be postponed until the date which is five (5) Business Days after the expiration of such ten (10) day election period but in no event beyond December 30, 2022.
14.2.2.    Non-Material Condemnation. In the event of any Condemnation other than a Material Condemnation, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement, but shall proceed to Closing, in which case Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in all proceeds and awards from such Condemnation.
ARTICLE XV

15.4.1.    Failure to Provide Notice within Survival Period. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, an Indemnitee which is seeking defense or indemnification for a breach of any representations or warranties shall be entitled to indemnification for such breach only if the Indemnitee has given written notice to the Indemnitor in accordance with Section 15.5.1 prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period.
15.4.2.    Indemnification Threshold and Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) Seller shall not be required to provide indemnification to the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Section 15.2 except to the extent the aggregate amount of all Indemnification Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnitees for which Purchaser otherwise would be entitled to indemnification under Section 15.2 exceeds Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) (the “Threshold”), and (B) Seller’s liability for any and all indemnification claims shall not exceed three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”); (x) provided, however, that in the event the Purchaser Indemnitees suffer Indemnification Losses in excess of the Cap and Seller actually receives insurance proceeds in excess of the Cap on account of the Indemnification Losses paid over to the Purchaser Indemnitees, Seller shall pay the amount of such excess insurance proceeds to the applicable Purchaser Indemnitees, less any applicable deductibles and Seller’s costs and expenses of collection, and (y) provided, further, however, the Threshold and Cap shall not apply to (i) any Indemnification Losses arising from Seller’s fraud, (ii) any amounts for any brokerage commission or fees, (iii) prorations or post-closing adjustments pursuant to Section 11.2, (iv) any amounts under an Indemnification Cure Right pursuant to Section 13.2, and (v) any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnitees in making any Indemnification Claim and enforcing the provisions of this Article XV.

15.5.2.    Resolution of Indemnification Claim Not Involving Third-Party Claim.

15.5.3.    Resolution of Indemnification Claim Involving Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnification Claim involves a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, at its cost and expense, and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim, provided that (i) the counsel for the Indemnitor who shall conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee (unless selected by Indemnitor’s insurance company), (ii) the Indemnitee, at its cost and expense, may participate in, but shall not control, the defense of such Third-Party Claim, and (iii) the Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement or other agreement which requires any performance by the Indemnitee, other than the payment of money which shall be paid by the Indemnitor.

2230752.03F-NYCSR03A - MSW


without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Indemnitor’s sole and absolute discretion.

15.5.4.    Accrual of Indemnification Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall have no right to indemnification against the Indemnitor for any Indemnification Claim which (i) does not involve a Third-Party Claim but is disputed by Indemnitor, until such time as such dispute is resolved by written agreement or other means as the Parties otherwise may agree in writing, or (ii) involves a Third-Party Claim, until such time as such Third-Party Claim is concluded, including any appeals with respect thereto; provided, however, the Indemnitor shall assume the defense or pay the costs of the defense for such Third-Party Claim during the pendency of such Third-Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Article XV.
15.5.5.    Tax Treatment of Indemnity. Seller and Purchaser agree that any indemnity payments made under this Agreement shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by a Determination.

16.1.2.    Receipt of Notices. All Notices sent by a Party under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been received by the Party to whom such Notice is sent upon (i) delivery to the address, facsimile number or e-mail address of the recipient Party, provided that such delivery is made prior to 5:00 p.m. (local time for the recipient Party) on a Business Day, otherwise the following Business Day, or (ii) the attempted delivery of such Notice if (A) such recipient Party refuses delivery of such Notice, or (B) such recipient Party is no longer at such address, facsimile number or e-mail address, and such recipient Party failed to provide the sending Party with its current address, facsimile number or e-mail address pursuant to Section 16.1.3.
16.1.3.    Change of Address. The Parties and their respective counsel shall have the right to change their respective address, facsimile number and/or e-mail address for the purposes of this Section 16.1 by providing a Notice of such change in address, facsimile number and/or e-mail address as required under this Section 16.1.
16.1.4.    Delivery by Party’s Counsel. The Parties agree that the attorney for such Party shall have the authority to deliver Notices on such Party’s behalf to the other Party hereto.
16.2    No Recordation. Neither Purchaser, any Affiliate of Purchaser, nor any Person acting by or on behalf of Purchaser shall record this Agreement, or any memorandum or other notice of this Agreement, in any public records; provided, that, if Purchaser commences, in good faith, an action for specific performance following a Seller Default in accordance with Section 13.1, Purchaser may file a lis pendens in connection with such action for specific performance. In the event of a violation of the preceding sentence, Purchaser hereby grants a power of attorney to Seller (which power is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable) to record on behalf of Purchaser a memorandum or other notice executed by Purchaser removing this Agreement or any memorandum, lis pendens or other notice of this Agreement from the public records or evidencing the termination of this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser (i) acknowledges that the filing of a lis pendens or other evidence of Purchaser’s rights or the existence of this Agreement against all or a portion of the Property could cause significant monetary and other damages to Seller and (ii) hereby agrees to indemnify Seller from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in the enforcement of the foregoing indemnification obligation) arising out of the breach by Purchaser of any of its obligations under this Section 16.2.
16.3    Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the time period for the performance of any covenant or obligation, satisfaction of any condition or delivery of any
56
2230752.03F-NYCSR03A - MSW


Notice or item required under this Agreement shall expire on a day other than a Business Day, such time period shall be extended automatically to the next Business Day.
16.4    Assignment. Purchaser shall not assign this Agreement or any interest therein to any Person, without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to designate one or more of its Affiliates as its nominees to receive title to the Property (or any portion thereof), and/or assign all of its right, title and interest in this Agreement to any Affiliate of Purchaser by providing written notice to Seller no later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing; provided, however, that (a) any such Affiliate remains an Affiliate of Purchaser through the Closing, (b) Purchaser shall not be released from any of its liabilities and obligations under this Agreement by reason of such designation or assignment unless and until the Closing occurs, and (c) such designation or assignment shall not be effective until Purchaser has provided Seller with a fully executed copy of such designation or assignment and assumption instrument, which shall (i) provide that Purchaser and such designee or assignee shall be jointly and severally liable for all liabilities and obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement, (ii) provide that Purchaser and its designee(s) or assignee(s) agree to pay any additional transfer tax as a result of such designation or assignment, and (iii) include a representation and warranty in favor of Seller that all representations and warranties made by Purchaser in this Agreement are true and correct with respect to such designee or assignee as of the date of such designation or assignment, and will be true and correct as of the Closing.

57
2230752.03F-NYCSR03A - MSW

16.8.5.    The terms “hereby,” “hereof,” “hereto,” “herein,” “hereunder” and any similar terms shall refer to this Agreement, and not solely to the provision in which such term is used.
16.8.6.    The terms “include,” “including” and similar terms shall be construed as if followed by the phrase “without limitation”.
16.8.7.    The terms “sole discretion” and “sole and absolute discretion” with respect to any determination to be made a Party under this Agreement shall mean the sole and absolute discretion of such Party, without regard to any standard of reasonableness or other standard by which the determination of such Party might be challenged.
16.9    Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be or rendered invalid or unenforceable at any time in any jurisdiction, such term or provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, or the validity or enforceability of such affected term or provision at any other time or in any other jurisdiction.
16.10    JURISDICTION AND VENUE. ANY LITIGATION OR OTHER COURT PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN THE NEW YORK STATE SUPREME COURT IN NEW YORK COUNTY OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND SELLER (FOR ITSELF AND ALL SELLER INDEMNITEES) AND PURCHASER (FOR ITSELF AND ALL PURCHASER INDEMNITEES) HEREBY SUBMIT TO JURISDICTION AND CONSENT TO VENUE IN SUCH COURTS, AND WAIVE ANY DEFENSE BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS.
16.11    WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION OR OTHER COURT PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

Any matter disclosed in any schedule to this Agreement shall be deemed to be incorporated in all other schedules to this Agreement.
16.14    Updates of Schedules. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall have the right to amend and supplement any schedule, or provide a new schedule, to this Agreement from time to time without Purchaser’s consent to the extent that (i) such schedule
58
2230752.03F-NYCSR03A - MSW


needs to be amended, supplemented, or provided to maintain the truth or accuracy of the applicable representation or warranty or the information disclosed therein due to a change in facts or circumstances which is not otherwise a default under this Agreement, or (ii) the underlying representation or warranty was qualified herein to Seller’s Knowledge and Seller did not have Knowledge as of the Effective Date of the matter being disclosed in such amendment, supplement, or new schedule (each, a “New Disclosure”). If Seller makes any such New Disclosure, then such New Disclosure shall be expressly permitted and shall in no event constitute a Seller Default; provided, however, that in the event any New Disclosure (a) would make Seller's representations and warranties as set forth in this Agreement incorrect in any material respect as of the Closing, and (b) has or could reasonably be expected to result in a monetary loss and/or loss of value with respect to the Property that exceeds Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) ((a) and (b), collectively, the “Materiality Threshold”), Purchaser shall have the right, exercisable by written notice delivered to Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to treat such New Disclosure as a Purchaser Closing Condition Failure, subject to Seller’s right to cure under the provisions of Section 13.2. Should Purchaser fail to deliver such written notice to Seller before the scheduled Closing Date, such failure shall conclusively mean that Purchaser has determined to waive such right and proceed to Closing without any credit against the Purchase Price on account of such New Disclosure. Should Purchaser elect not terminate this Agreement as a result of any New Disclosure (or not have the right to terminate this Agreement due to Purchaser’s failure to timely deliver written notice of a New Disclosure’s breach of the Materiality Threshold, Seller’s cure of the resulting Purchaser Closing Condition Failure or otherwise), Purchaser shall proceed to Closing notwithstanding any such New Disclosure without any credit against the Purchase Price on account of such New Disclosure, and the corresponding representation or warranty to which such New Disclosure relates shall be deemed qualified by such New Disclosure for the purposes of limiting the defense and indemnification obligations of Seller under this Agreement.
16.15    Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties hereto, and shall supersede any letter of intent and any other agreements and understandings (written or oral) between the Parties on or prior to the Effective Date with respect to the transaction described in this Agreement.
16.16    Amendments, Waivers and Termination of Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 16.14, no amendment or modification to any terms or provisions of this Agreement, waiver of any covenant, obligation, breach or default under this Agreement or termination of this Agreement (other than as expressly provided in this Agreement), shall be valid unless in writing and executed and delivered by each of the Parties.
16.17    Not an Offer. The delivery by Seller of this Agreement executed by Seller shall not constitute an offer to sell the Property, and Seller shall have no obligation to sell the Property to Purchaser, unless and until all Parties have executed and delivered this Agreement to all other Parties.
16.18    Execution of Agreement. A Party may deliver executed (which shall include execution via electronic signature or scan of an original signature, in either case in .pdf format) signature pages to this Agreement by facsimile or e-mail transmission to any other Party, which facsimile or e-mail copy shall be deemed to be an original executed signature page. This Agreement may be executed (which shall include execution via electronic signature or scan of an original signature, in either case in .pdf format) in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which counterparts together shall constitute one agreement with the same effect as if the Parties had signed the same signature page.
