At Seller’s option, Seller may coordinate all title matters directly with Christine Monti, Esq. of Advantage Title, 201 Old Country Road, Suite 200, Melville, NY 11747, Telephone: (631) 424-6100, Email: cmonti@advantagetitle.com, as agent for Stewart Title Company (the “SELLER’S TITLE COMPANY”). Seller’s Title Company and Title Company shall enter into a sharing agreement pursuant to which they shall share all title insurance premiums payable in connection with the issuance of the Title Policy (as defined below) so that Title Company receives seventy-five percent (75%) of the title premiums and Seller’s Title Company receives twenty-five percent (25%) of the title insurance premiums. Purchaser and Seller agree that Title Company shall be the lead title company. To the extent Seller’s Title Company:

(ii)    is unwilling to insure over or indorse over any title exceptions that Title Company is willing to indorse or insure over,

If any defects, objections or exceptions in the title to the Property appear in the Title Commitment (other than the Permitted Encumbrances) which Purchaser is not required to accept under the terms of this Agreement, Seller agrees to use good faith efforts to cure the same prior to the Closing, and in any event to cure, at its expense, the following: (a) judgments against Seller, (b) leasehold mortgages by Seller and other liens which can be satisfied by the payment of a liquidated amount, and (c) defects, objections or exceptions which can be removed by payments not to exceed, in the aggregate, the sum of $100,000.00. Seller, in its discretion, may adjourn the Closing for up to sixty (60) days in order to eliminate unacceptable defects, objections or exceptions. If, after complying with the foregoing requirements, Seller is unable to eliminate all unacceptable defects, objections or exceptions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or before such adjourned date for the Closing, Purchaser shall elect either (x) to terminate this Agreement by notice given to the Seller, in which event the provisions of Section 3.4 shall apply, or (y) to assume the

SMRH:479720967.5

Lease subject to such unacceptable defects, objections or exceptions with a credit against or reduction in the Purchase Price. Seller agrees and covenants that it shall not voluntarily place or consent to or acquiesce in a third party placing any defects, objections or exceptions to title to the Property from and after the date of the first issuance of the Title Commitment for the Lease. However, nothing herein shall require Seller to start any lawsuit or other proceeding, or incur any expense in excess of an aggregate of $100,000.00, to clear from title any matter pursuant to clause (c) above.

3.3     It shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close that:

(a)(1) Seller assign its eighty percent (80%) interest in the Ground Lease pursuant to Section 8.4(a) below, (2) Seller assign its twenty percent (20%) interest in the Ground Lease to Purchaser pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement, and (3) the Title Company insure, at a standard rate for such insurance, one hundred percent (100%) of the leasehold interest in the Property equal to the amount of $48,000,000.00 (which represents the sum of the Purchase Price paid for the 80% interest in the Ground Lease and the $9,600,000 value attributable to the twenty percent (20%) interest in the Ground Lease assigned pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement) in the name of Purchaser or its designees, after execution and delivery of the Ground Lease Assignment as defined in and pursuant to Section 8.4(a), by a standard leasehold fee insurance policy substantially in the form of EXHIBIT 3.3(a) attached hereto, with endorsements as may be available and are required by Purchaser, including a non-imputation endorsement(s) as each entity assigning the one hundred percent (100%) interest in the Ground Lease, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and other matters, other than the Permitted Encumbrances (the "TITLE POLICY").

    (b) Seller shall provide such affidavits (including title affidavits and survey affidavits of no change) and undertakings as the Title Company may reasonably require, including to customary affidavit(s) to enable Title Company to issue a non-imputation endorsement in favor of KBS affiliate member of the Joint Venture as to the knowledge of each of the entities assigning the one hundred percent (100%) of the Ground Lease. In addition, if the Title Commitment discloses judgments, bankruptcies or other returns against other persons having names the same as or similar to that of Seller, Seller shall, upon request, deliver to the Title Company affidavits showing that such judgments, bankruptcies or other returns are not against Seller or any of its affiliates. Upon request by Purchaser, Seller shall deliver any affidavits and documentary evidence as reasonably required by the Title Company to eliminate the standard or general exceptions in the Title Policy.

    (c) The words "insurable title" and "insurable" as used in this Agreement are hereby defined to mean title, which is insurable at standard rates (without special premium) by the Title Company without exception other than the Permitted Encumbrances and the standard printed 2006 ALTA policy and survey exceptions.

3.4 If Purchaser and Seller mutually determine that it is not possible for Seller to assign and/or cause to be assigned one hundred percent (100%) of the leasehold estate of the Ground Lease to Purchaser at Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Joint Venture Agreement, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Deposit to Purchaser. In such event, neither party shall

have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than those which are expressly stated herein to survive any such termination.

shall return to Seller all Proprietary Information, provided that Purchaser shall have the right to retain copies of such Proprietary Information in connection with Purchaser’s internal record retention policies.

This provision shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
8. CLOSING

    8.1 The closing of the transaction contemplated hereby (the “CLOSING”) shall occur on December 10, 2016 (such date, as the same may be adjourned by Seller pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, being herein referred to as the “CLOSING DATE”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to adjourn the Closing Date to a date no later than December 28, 2016, by delivering written notice of the exercise of such right of adjournment and an additional deposit in the sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the original Closing Date, which additional deposit shall be added to, and become part of, the Deposit. TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE with respect to Purchaser’s obligations to pay the additional deposit and perform its obligations on the Closing Date, as same may be adjourned pursuant to Section 3.2 and this Section 8.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event Purchaser’s Lender (as defined below), fails to finance the transaction on the Closing Date (whether as a result of a failed closing condition or lender’s decision not to proceed with the financing), Purchaser shall have the further right to adjourn the Closing Date to a date not later than January 27, 2017, by delivering written notice of the exercise of such right of adjournment and an additional deposit in the sum of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date. TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE with respect to Purchaser’s obligations to pay the additional deposit and perform its obligations on the Closing Date, as same may be adjourned pursuant to Section 3.2 and this Section 8.1 and in the event Purchaser so extends the Closing Date, the Adjustment Date (hereinafter defined) shall nevertheless be December 28, 2016, and not January 27, 2017.

SMRH:479720967.5

8.2 The Closing will occur through an escrow with the Escrow Agent on the Closing Date.

8.3 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Purchaser expressly agrees and acknowledges that Purchaser’s obligations hereunder are not in any way conditioned upon or qualified by Purchaser’s ability to obtain financing of any type or nature whatsoever (i.e., whether by way of debt financing or equity investment, or otherwise) to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby. Seller, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, shall reasonably cooperate with a prospective lender of Purchaser in granting such lender access to the Property for the purpose of inspecting the Property upon reasonable notice and at a reasonable time and obtaining an appraisal of the Property. As between the members of Purchaser, KBS shall have exclusive control over the process used in obtaining any financing desired to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby, provided all of the members of Purchaser use good faith efforts to cooperate with KBS and its agents in such process. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event Ground Lessor fails or refuses to provide to Purchaser’s lender (which is currently contemplated to be PCCP, LLC, SL Green or their respective affiliates) (“PURCHASER’S LENDER”) (1) an acknowledgement of Purchaser’s Lender’s status as a Leasehold Mortgagee (as defined in the Ground Lease) entitled to all Mortgagee Protections as required by Section 19.4, and 19.6 of the Ground Lease, (2) any modifications to the Ground Lease requested by Purchaser’s Lender in accordance with Section 19.5 of the Ground Lease, and (3) an estoppel certificate from Ground Lessor in favor of Purchaser’s Lender pursuant to Section 22.1 of the Ground Lease, and Purchaser’s Lender refuses to close on a Leasehold Mortgage by reason of such failure or refusal, then, upon receipt of notice of such refusal from Purchaser’s Lender (which may be in the form of an email from Purchaser’s Lender or counsel stating that any or all of the documents described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) are conditions to the closing of the Mortgage Loan as opposed to a formal notice from Purchaser’s Lender), either Purchaser or Seller may extend the Closing Date for up to sixty (60) days upon written notice to the other given one (1) business day following receipt of such notice from Purchaser’s Lender, during which time the parties shall together (a) seek to enforce Tenant’s rights under Sections 19.4, 19.5, 19.6 and 22.1 of the Ground Lease, and (b) pursue financing with (x) SL Green or its affiliate (“SL Green Lender”) and (y) any other lender selected by Purchaser. If by the end of such sixty (60) day period Ground Lessor has not delivered the documents required by Sections 19.4, 19.5, 19.6 and 22.1 of the Ground Lease and SL Green Lender (or other lender selected by Purchaser) has not closed on its financing by reason of such failure or refusal, either Purchaser or Seller may terminate this Agreement on written notice to the other at any time following the expiration of such sixty (60) day period, the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser by Escrow Agent, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than those expressly stated to survive such termination.

8.4 On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, deliver or cause to be delivered to Escrow Agent the following:

(a) the following assignments of Seller’s eighty percent (80%) interest in the Ground Lease (each a “GROUND LEASE ASSIGNMENT” and collectively, the "GROUND LEASE ASSIGNMENTS”): (1) an Assignment and Assumption of Ground Lease in the form annexed hereto as EXHIBIT 8.4(a), duly executed and acknowledged by Seller with respect to its thirty percent

For avoidance of doubt, the Ground Lease Assignments to be executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 8.4(a) will assign an aggregate eighty percent (80%) interest in the Ground Lease to Purchaser at Closing. The remaining twenty percent (20%) of the Ground Lease will be assigned to Purchaser pursuant to a Ground Lease Assignment being delivered at the Closing in accordance with the Joint Venture Agreement by virtue of an in kind contribution of such twenty percent (20%) interest being made by Onyx pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement;

8.6 Seller shall pay all transfer taxes, recording fees and charges necessary or required in order for the Ground Lease Assignments to be recorded in the appropriate county register's or recorder's office, including, without limitation, the New York City transfer tax, if applicable, provided, however, Purchaser acknowledges that Seller may be entitled to a “mere change of identity” exemption for twenty (20%) percent of transfer taxes due. In the event Seller is not entitled to such exemptions Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any such taxes that may be assessed against Purchaser (the parties acknowledging that Seller is primarily liable for the payment of any such taxes). Purchaser shall pay all title insurance premiums and examination fees and the costs (if any) of its due diligence investigations, except as may specifically be provided for herein. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney's fees. The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall survive the Closing.

(b) Real property taxes on the basis of the fiscal year for which assessed (including, without limitation, taxes, business improvement district taxes and/or assessments and any other governmental taxes, charges or assessments levied or assessed against the Property). If the Closing

SMRH:479720967.5
22
 
 
 
 




shall occur before the tax rate or assessment is fixed, the apportionment of such real property taxes and personal property taxes, if any, at the Closing shall be upon the basis of the tax rate for the immediately preceding tax year applied to the latest assessed valuation; however, adjustment will be made upon the actual tax amount, when determined.

(c) Water charges and sewer rents on the basis of the fiscal year, but if there be water meters on the Property, Seller shall obtain a meter reading thereof effective through the Adjustment Date, or if not feasible to so read, to a date not more than thirty (30) days before the Adjustment Date, and the unfixed meter charges based thereon for the intervening period shall be apportioned on the basis of such last reading. Upon the taking of a subsequent actual reading, such apportionment shall be readjusted and Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, will promptly deliver to the other the amount determined to be so due upon such readjustment. If Seller is unable to furnish such a meter reading prior to Closing, then any meter reading obtained by Purchaser after the Closing shall be used to calculate the meter charges on a per diem basis and the resultant per diem amount used to calculate the charges due by Seller for the period from the date of the last meter reading prior to the Closing up to the date of Closing, which charges Seller shall pay. Unpaid water meter bills which are the direct obligations of subtenants in accordance with the terms of their Subleases shall not be adjusted nor shall the same be deemed an objection to title and Seller will take title subject thereto to the extent such subtenants remain in possession under valid Subleases.
(d) Utility charges, including, but not limited to, electricity, gas, steam, all prorated based upon the most current bill unless actual readings are obtained as of the Adjustment Date, in which case such actual readings shall govern and such party shall pay the amount billed to it.
(e) Fuel on the Property (if any) on the Adjustment Date based upon a reading made by Seller’s supplier as close as obtainable to the Adjustment Date (reasonably adjusted to the quantity present on the Adjustment Date). The value thereof shall be calculated at Seller’s last cost (including sales tax), as evidenced by a paid invoice from such supplier.
(f) If Seller has engaged consultants for the purpose of protesting the amount of taxes or the assessed valuation for certain tax periods for the Property (“PROTEST PROCEEDING”) any cash refunds or proceeds actually distributed (collectively, “CASH REFUNDS”) will be apportioned as described below. Any Cash Refunds (including interest thereon) on account of a favorable determination, after deduction of costs and expenses incurred for such Protest Proceedings and payment of any reimbursements owing to tenants, shall be: (i) the property of Seller to the extent such Cash Refunds were for taxes paid by Seller applicable to a period prior to the Closing Date, (ii) prorated between Purchaser and Seller for taxes paid for a period during which the Closing Date occurred, and (iii) the property of Purchaser for taxes for a period after the Closing Date. Seller shall have the obligation to refund to any tenants in good standing as of the date of such Cash Refund, any portion of such Cash Refund paid to it which may be owing to such tenants, which payment shall be paid to Purchaser within fifteen (15) business days of delivery to Seller by Purchaser of written confirmation of such tenants’ entitlement to such Cash Refunds. Purchaser shall have the obligation to refund to tenants in good standing as of the date of such Cash Refund, any portion of such Cash Refund paid to it which may be owing to such tenants. Seller and Purchaser agree to notify the other in writing of any receipt of a Cash Refund within fifteen (15) business days of

SMRH:479720967.5

12. BROKER

Purchaser and Seller represent that they have not dealt with any brokers, finders or salesmen in connection with this transaction other than Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (“Broker”) and agree to indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which either party may sustain, incur or be exposed to by reason of any claim for fees or commissions made by a broker (other than Broker) through the other party. Purchaser shall pay Broker its fees and commissions in connection with this Agreement pursuant to a separate agreement by and between Purchaser and Broker. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing or other termination of this Agreement.

13. CONDEMNATION/CASUALTY

13.1 In the event that, prior to the Closing, Seller shall become aware of the institution or threatened institution of any proceeding (judicial, administrative or otherwise), by eminent domain or otherwise (“EMINENT DOMAIN PROCEEDING”), which proposes to affect all or a material portion of the Property, Seller shall give notice (the "CONDEMNATION NOTICE") to Purchaser promptly thereafter. Within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of the Condemnation Notice, Purchaser shall have the right and option, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice thereof.

13.4 In the event that Purchaser shall elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Article 13, the Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Deposit to Purchaser and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than those which are expressly stated herein to survive any such termination. In the event that Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement, Seller shall promptly assign all proceeds of such Casualty and/or taking to Purchaser, the same shall be Purchaser’s sole property, and Purchaser shall have the sole right to settle any claim in connection with the Property.
  
14. PUBLICATION; CONFIDENTIALITY

14.1 Neither party shall have the right to make such public announcements or filings with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. Further, neither party shall issue any such announcement without the prior approval of the other party as to the text of the announcement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall impair Purchaser’s (or its affiliates’) right to disclose information relating to this Agreement or the Property (a) to any due diligence representatives and/or consultants that are engaged by, work for or are acting on behalf of, any securities dealers and/or broker dealers evaluating Purchaser and/or its affiliates, (b) in connection with any filings (including any amendment or supplement to any S-11 filing) with governmental agencies (including the SEC) by any REIT holding an interest (direct or indirect) in Purchaser, and (c) to any broker/dealers in the REIT’s broker/dealer network and any of the REIT’s investors.

14.2 Subject to the provisions of Section 14.1 above, without the prior written consent of the other party, until Purchaser shall make a public announcement as provided in Section 14.1, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall disclose, and Seller and Purchaser will direct their respective representatives, employees, agents and consultants not to disclose, to any person or entity the fact that Purchaser and Seller have entered into an agreement to assign the Lease or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may disclose those terms and conditions which are required to be disclosed pursuant to law or in order to comply with this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the disclosing party (i) shall use its best efforts to limit the disclosure to the information necessary, (ii) shall advise any party to whom disclosure is made that said terms and conditions are subject to a confidentiality requirement, and (iii) shall obtain the agreement of said party to keep any information disclosed to it as confidential; PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any disclosure by Purchaser that is expressly authorized pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.1 above, and Purchaser shall be permitted to make any such disclosure in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a breach of the provisions of this Section 14, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to all of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, at law and/or in equity.

15. REMEDIES

15.1 In the event the Closing of the transactions contemplated herein do not occur as a result of willful default on the part of Purchaser, then Seller shall be entitled to compensation as a result thereof. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain

SMRH:479720967.5
27
 
 
 
 




the extent of the detriment, and therefore, Seller and Purchaser agree that, so long as Seller is not then in default under this Agreement, if Purchaser defaults, Seller shall be entitled to receive the Deposit from the Escrow Agent as liquidated damages and as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, which amount represents a bona fide good faith estimate of damages that Seller would suffer in such event. Upon Seller’s receipt of the Deposit, this Agreement shall be terminated, and, thereupon, the parties shall have no further obligations one to the other under this Agreement (except those obligations expressly provided herein to survive the termination of this Agreement). The parties agree that Seller’s receipt of the Deposit as liquidated damages shall be the sole and exclusive relief to which Seller might otherwise be entitled as a result of Purchaser’s default, Seller hereby specifically waiving any and all other rights which it may have to damages, specific performance or any other remedy as a result of Purchaser’s default.

15.2 (a) If, after complying with the terms of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser mutually agree that it is not possible for Seller to assign the Lease in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then the sole obligation and liability of Seller shall be to perform in accordance with Section 3.4, following which this Agreement shall be deemed canceled and the parties hereto shall be released of all obligations and liabilities under this Agreement, except for those provisions which are expressly stated to survive the cancellation or termination of this Agreement.

(b)     (i) Except as set forth in Section 15.2(b)(ii) below, in the event of any willful default on the part of Seller or Seller's failure to comply with any agreement by Seller in any material respect, Purchaser shall be entitled (x) to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller, in which event (1) Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser, (2) Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses), as supported by documentation reasonably satisfactory to Seller, incurred in connection with Purchaser’s due diligence investigations and negotiation and execution of this Agreement, not to exceed $150,000.00 in the aggregate, and (3) neither party shall thereafter have any other further obligations under this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein, or (y) to commence an action against Seller within ninety (90) days of such default seeking specific performance of Seller's obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that if the remedy of specific performance is not available because Seller willfully assigned the Ground Lease to a third party in contravention of this Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled to seek compensatory damages not to exceed $3,000,000.00 in the aggregate.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event of any breach or default on the part of Seller of the representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement (which shall survive the Closing as provided in Section 4.3 below)(collectively, the “LIMITED SURVIVING CLOSING OBLIGATIONS”), Purchaser shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies available at law or in equity including, without limitation, the right to bring an action for damages (excluding special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages); provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser bring any action for damages against Seller with respect to any Limited Surviving Closing Obligations where the aggregate total of such damages is less than $50,000.00, and further provided that Seller’s liability, if any, with respect to any Limited Surviving Closing Obligations shall in no event exceed $500,000.00 in the aggregate.


SMRH:479720967.5

15.3 The acceptance of the Ground Lease Assignments by Purchaser shall be deemed a full performance and discharge of every agreement and obligation of Seller required to be performed under this Agreement, except those provisions which are expressly stated in this Agreement to survive the Closing or which, by their terms, cannot be performed or complied with until after the Closing.

15.4 The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.

16. NOTICES

16.1 All notices, demands, requests, or other writings (individually, a "NOTICE" and collectively, "NOTICES") required to be given or made or sent under this Agreement, or which may be given or made or sent, by either party hereto to the other, shall be in writing, signed by the party giving the same or by its attorneys, and shall be delivered by: (i) using any nationally-recognized overnight delivery service with all transmittal fees prepaid, properly addressed; (ii) personal delivery; or (iii) transmitted by facsimile or email, provided that such facsimile or e-mail transmission is confirmed within one (1) Business Day thereafter in the manner set forth in either clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence, to the other party at the address of such other party set forth below or at such other address within the continental United States as such other party may designate by written notice specifically designated as a notice of change of address and given in accordance herewith; provided, however, that the time period in which a response to any such notice, election, demand or request must be given shall commence on the date of receipt thereof. Delivery or attempted delivery to a party or to any officer, partner, member, agent or employee of such party at said address shall constitute receipt. Rejection or other refusal to accept or inability to deliver because of changed address of which no written notice has been received shall also constitute receipt. Any such notice, election, demand, request or response shall be addressed as follows:

17.8 Purchaser shall not be permitted to record this Agreement except to the extent required by applicable law to maintain an action for specific performance, and any purported recording of this Agreement in contravention of the foregoing shall be immediately canceled by Purchaser, upon demand, and shall constitute a default hereunder, which is not capable of being cured.

17.13 This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive benefit of Purchaser and Seller, and their respective successors and assigns, and no third parties are intended to or shall have any rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any Brokers.

18.3 The Deposit shall be released or delivered to Seller at Closing or upon termination of this Agreement due to Purchaser’s failure to close when Purchaser is otherwise obligated to do so, except as expressly provided in Section 13.4 hereof. The Deposit shall be released or delivered to the party entitled thereto pursuant to this Agreement with reasonable promptness after the Escrow Agent shall have received written notice:
(a) from Purchaser authorizing release of the Deposit to Seller; or
(b) from Seller authorizing the return of the Deposit to Purchaser; or
(c) from either Seller or Purchaser stating that an event has occurred under this Agreement entitling the party delivering such notice to the Deposit, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall deliver written notice (the “DEFAULT NOTICE”) thereof to the other party and, unless such other party shall have delivered a written notice of objection to the Escrow Agent within ten (10) Business Days following receipt by

SMRH:479720967.5
32
 
 
 
 




such other party of the Default Notice, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to the party initially requesting the Deposit.
18.4 The Escrow Agent is to be considered as a depository only, shall not be deemed to be a party to any document other than this Agreement, and shall not be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the sufficiency, manner of execution, or validity of any written instructions, certificates or any other documents received by it, nor as to the identity, authority or rights of any persons executing the same. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely at all times on written instructions given by Seller and/or Purchaser, or their respective attorney, as the case may be and as required hereunder, without any necessity of verifying the authority therefor.
18.5 It is further understood by Seller and Purchaser that if, as a result of any disagreement between them or adverse demands and claims being made by any of them upon the Escrow Agent, or if the Escrow Agent otherwise shall become involved in litigation with respect to this Agreement, the Escrow Agent may deposit the Deposit with a court of competent jurisdiction in New York and/or in accordance with the order of a court of competent jurisdiction in New York, and in any such event, Seller and Purchaser agree that they, jointly and severally, are and shall be liable to the Escrow Agent and shall reimburse the Escrow Agent on demand for all costs, expenses and reasonable counsel fees it shall incur or be compelled to pay by reason of any such litigation. Seller and Purchaser agree between themselves that each shall be responsible to advance one-half of all amounts due the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 18.5 provided that any such advance by Seller or Purchaser as a result of any dispute or litigation between them shall be without prejudice to their right to recover such amount as damages from the breaching party.
18.6 In taking or omitting to take any action whatsoever hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be protected in relying upon any written notice, paper, or other document reasonably believed by it to be genuine, or upon evidence reasonably deemed by it to be sufficient, and in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable hereunder for any act performed or omitted to be performed by it hereunder in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
18.7 Upon the satisfaction of the mutual obligations of the parties hereunder, the Title Company shall promptly submit for recording or filing, as applicable, all appropriate instruments delivered to it at the Closing. If necessary, Title Company and/or Escrow Agent are authorized to insert the Closing Date in any blanks in the closing documents.
18.8 The Escrow Agent shall have no right or obligation to approve any amendment to this Agreement unless such amendment purports to affect the Escrow Agent’s rights or obligations hereunder.
18.9 The Escrow Agent hereby agrees to serve as the “real estate reporting person” (as such term is defined in Section 6045(e) of the Code). This Agreement shall constitute a designation agreement, the name and address of the transferor and transferee of the transaction contemplated hereby appear in Section 16 hereof, and Seller. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.  The duties of Escrow Agent are only as herein specifically provided, and are purely ministerial in nature.  Escrow  Agent shall neither be responsible for, or under, nor chargeable with knowledge of, the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document in

SMRH:479720967.5
33
 
 
 
 




connection herewith, and shall be required to act in respect to  disbursement of the Deposit only as provided in this Agreement.  This Agreement sets forth all the obligations of Escrow Agent with respect to any and all matters pertinent to the escrow contemplated hereunder and no additional obligations of Escrow Agent shall be implied from the terms of this Agreement or any other Agreement.  Escrow Agent shall incur no liability in connection with the discharge of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise in connection therewith, except such liability as may arise from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Escrow Agent.
This Article 18 shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to its internal conflicts of law principles (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law).
18.10    Seller and Purchaser must provide completed W9 forms for the Deposit to be deposited into an interest bearing account.              
18.11 The Escrow Agent shall notify Seller and Purchaser promptly upon its receipt at any time of the Deposit or any portion of the Deposit.
18.12 Escrow Agent, by signing this Agreement at the end hereof where indicated, signifies its agreement to hold the Deposit for the purpose as provided in this Agreement. In the event of any dispute, Escrow Agent shall have the right to deposit the Deposit in court to await the resolution of such dispute. In any event, Escrow Agent shall not be personally liable so long as it acts in good faith.
18.13 Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability by reasons of any action or non-action taken by it in good faith or pursuant to the judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Escrow Agent shall have the right to rely upon the genuineness of all certificates, notices and instruments delivered to it pursuant hereto, and all the signatures thereto or to any other writing received by Escrow Agent purporting to be signed by any party hereto, and upon the trust of the contents thereof. Before making paying or delivery of any moneys or documents held by Escrow Agent pursuant thereto, Escrow Agent shall have the right to require delivery to it of an executed and acknowledged receipt for the subject matter of the delivery to be made by Escrow Agent. In the event of any dispute between the parties as to whether either party is in default hereunder or as to any other material fact, Escrow Agent shall have the right to refrain from taking any further action with respect to the subject matter of the escrow until it is reasonably satisfied that such dispute is resolved or action by Escrow Agent is required by an order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to consult with other counsel in connection with its duties hereunder. Seller and Purchaser jointly and severally agree to reimburse Escrow Agent for its reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred as a result of any dispute or litigation arising hereunder.
