Item 1.01.             Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 14, 2019, we entered an Agreement of Purchase and Sale, or the GPT Purchase Agreement, with certain subsidiaries of GPT Operating Partnership LP, or collectively, GPT, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire from GPT eight industrial properties located in the Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio market areas with an aggregate of approximately 4.2 million rentable square feet for a purchase price of $280.0 million, excluding acquisition related costs.

 

The GPT Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. Pursuant to the GPT Purchase Agreement, on February 14, 2019, we completed the acquisition of seven of the eight GPT properties for a purchase price of $249.5 million, excluding acquisition related costs. The acquisition of the remaining industrial property for a purchase price of $30.5 million, excluding acquisition related costs, is expected to occur by April 15, 2019, subject to an option for either party to terminate the GPT Purchase Agreement solely with respect to such property at any time.

 

Also on February 14, 2019, we entered an Agreement of Purchase and Sale, or the CCIT II Purchase Agreement, with certain indirect subsidiaries of Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT II), Inc., or collectively, CCIT II, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire from CCIT II 18 industrial properties located in 12 states with an aggregate of approximately 8.7 million rentable square feet for a purchase price of $625.3 million, excluding acquisition related costs and including the assumption of $57.0 million of mortgage debt.

 

Pursuant to the CCIT II Purchase Agreement, we paid to CCIT II a deposit in the amount of $31.3 million which is non-refundable after the expiration of the 30 day due diligence period, and we have the right to terminate the CCIT II Purchase Agreement at any time prior to the expiration of such due diligence period. The CCIT II Purchase Agreement provides for our right to exclude up to 2 of the18 CCIT II properties from the acquisition due to a casualty or condemnation of a property. The CCIT II Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. The acquisition of the 18 CCIT II properties is expected to occur by April 15, 2019, subject to an option for either party to extend the closing date of the acquisition of certain properties to obtain certain approvals and documentation.

 

We acquired seven of the eight GPT properties and expect to acquire the remaining properties pursuant to the GPT Purchase Agreement and CCIT II Purchase Agreement, or collectively, the Purchase Agreements, with cash on hand from the proceeds from our $650.0 million mortgage loan we obtained in January 2019 and borrowings under our $750.0 million revolving credit facility.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreements are not complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies of the Purchase Agreements attached as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.01.             Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the completion of the acquisition of seven of the GPT properties pursuant to the GPT Purchase Agreement is incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.

WARNING CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

THIS CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K CONTAINS STATEMENTS THAT CONSTITUTE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 AND OTHER SECURITIES LAWS.  ALSO, WHENEVER WE USE WORDS SUCH AS “BELIEVE”, “EXPECT”, “ANTICIPATE”, “INTEND”, “PLAN”, “ESTIMATE”, “WILL”, “MAY” AND NEGATIVES OR DERIVATIVES OF THESE OR SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS, WE ARE MAKING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE BASED UPON OUR PRESENT INTENT, BELIEFS OR EXPECTATIONS, BUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO OCCUR AND MAY NOT OCCUR. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN OR IMPLIED BY OUR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF VARIOUS FACTORS.  FOR EXAMPLE:

 

·                                          THIS CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K STATES THAT WE ENTERED AN AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE EIGHT PROPERTIES FROM GPT AND AN AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE 18 PROPERTIES FROM CCIT II AND THE ACQUISITIONS OF THE REMAINING PROPERTIES ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR BY APRIL 15, 2019. THE REMAINING ACQUISITIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS. THESE CONDITIONS MAY NOT BE MET AND THESE ACQUISITIONS MAY NOT OCCUR, MAY BE DELAYED OR THE TERMS MAY CHANGE.

 

·                                          THIS CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K INDICATES THAT WE INTEND TO ACQUIRE THE REMAINING PROPERTIES WITH CASH ON HAND AND BORROWINGS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY. WE MAY, HOWEVER, SEEK TO OBTAIN ALTERNATE FINANCING WHICH MAY BE ON TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT ARE LESS FAVORABLE TO US THAN OTHERWISE USING CASH ON HAND OR BORROWINGS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY. IN ADDITION, OUR ABILITY TO BORROW UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY IS SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS, WHICH WE MAY FAIL TO SATISFY. FURTHER, WE ARE OBLIGATED TO PAY INTEREST ON OUR BORROWINGS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AT A RATE EQUAL TO LIBOR PLUS A PREMIUM THAT IS SUBJECT TO ADJUSTMENT BASED UPON CHANGES TO OUR LEVERAGE. ACCORDINGLY, WE ARE VULNERABLE TO CHANGES IN SHORT TERM INTEREST RATES, SPECIFICALLY LIBOR. AS A RESULT, OUR COST OF BORROWING MAY BE HIGHER THAN CURRENTLY EXPECTED AND MAY REDUCE THE EXPECTED BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITIONS TO US.

 

THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN OUR FILINGS WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, OR SEC, INCLUDING UNDER THE CAPTION “RISK FACTORS” IN OUR PERIODIC REPORTS, OR INCORPORATED THEREIN, IDENTIFIES OTHER IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE DIFFERENCES FROM OUR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. OUR FILINGS WITH THE SEC ARE AVAILABLE ON THE SEC’S WEBSITE AT WWW.SEC.GOV.

 

YOU SHOULD NOT PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE UPON OUR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.

 

EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW, WE DO NOT INTEND TO UPDATE OR CHANGE ANY FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF NEW INFORMATION, FUTURE EVENTS OR OTHERWISE.

ADJUSTMENTS

 

Unless otherwise provided below, the following are to be adjusted and prorated between Seller and Buyer as of 11:59 P.M. on the day preceding the Closing, based upon a 365-day year, with Buyer being deemed to be the owner of the Assets during the entire day of the Closing Date and being entitled to receive all operating income of the Assets, and being obligated

 

25


 

to pay all operating expenses of the Assets, with respect to the Closing Date and the net amount thereof under this Article X shall be added to (if such net amount is in Seller’s favor) or deducted from (if such net amount is in Buyer’s favor) the Purchase Price payable at Closing:

 

SECTION 10.1.                                   Fixed Rents and Additional Rents.

 

(a)                                 All fixed rents (collectively, “Fixed Rents”) and Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined); Fixed Rents and Additional Rent being together referred to herein as “Rents”) which is not delinquent and paid by Tenants in connection with the Tenants’ occupancy of the Assets, security deposits (except as hereinafter provided) and other tenant charges shall be prorated with Seller being entitled to Rents attributable to periods prior to Closing and Buyer being entitled to Rents attributable to periods from and after Closing. Seller shall deliver or provide a credit in an amount equal to all prepaid Rents for periods from and after the Closing Date and all refundable cash security deposits (to the extent the foregoing were made by Tenants and are not applied in accordance with this Agreement or forfeited prior to the Closing) as set forth on Schedule 10.1, to Buyer on the Closing Date. A list of the unapplied tenant security deposits held by Seller under the Space Leases as of the Effective Date is set forth on Schedule 10.1.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Rents that are delinquent (or payable but unpaid) as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated on the Closing Date.  At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a schedule of all such delinquent or payable but unpaid rent.  Buyer shall include such delinquencies (or unpaid amounts) in its normal billing (and Buyer shall deliver to Seller, concurrently with the delivery to Tenants, copies of all statements relating to Rent for a period prior to the Closing) and shall  in good faith use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the collection of such past due Rents after the Closing Date (but Buyer shall not be required to call an event of default, litigate or implement collection procedures specifically in connection with the recovery from Tenants of such delinquencies or other unpaid amounts which are delinquent). To the extent Buyer receives payment of delinquent Rents (or income in connection with other tenant charges) on or after the Closing Date, such payments shall be applied (1) first, to the delinquent Rent (or other tenant charges) owed to Buyer in connection with the applicable Space Lease for the period following the month in which the Closing occurs, (2) second, toward the delinquent Rent (or other tenant charge) for the month in which the Closing occurs and (3) then to any delinquent rents (or other tenant charges) owed to Seller, with Seller’s share thereof being promptly delivered to Seller; provided, however, that any year-end or similar reconciliation payment shall be allocated as hereinafter provided.  Seller shall have no rights to collect such sums directly from the Tenants, and hereby covenants and agrees not to seek such sums in any manner whatsoever, including but not limited to bringing lawsuits against the Tenants for such collection, disturbing the possession, use or occupancy of the Tenants, seeking the termination of the applicable Space Lease or otherwise pursuing the eviction of such Tenant.  With respect to delinquent or other uncollected rents and any other amounts or other rights of any kind respecting Tenants who are no longer Tenants of the Property as of the Closing Date, Seller shall retain all of the rights relating thereto. For the purposes of this Section 10.1, the term “Additional Rent” shall mean amounts payable under any Space Lease for (A) so-called common area maintenance or “CAM” charges, and (B) so-called “escalation rent” or additional rent based upon increases in real estate taxes or operating expenses or labor costs or cost of living or porter’s wages or insurance or other expenses of the Assets or otherwise and to the extent that a Space Lease provides for base year amounts for operating expenses or taxes, such base year amounts shall be prorated in determining Additional Rent with respect to such Space Lease. As to any Additional Rent in respect of an accounting

 

26


 

period that shall have expired prior to the Closing but which is payable after the Closing, Buyer shall pay the entire amount over to Seller upon Buyer’s receipt thereof subject to this Section 10.1(a). Buyer shall include such Additional Rent delinquencies (or unpaid amounts) in its normal billing and shall in good faith use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the collection of such past due Additional Rent after the Closing Date (but Buyer shall not be required to litigate or implement collection procedures specifically in connection with the recovery from Tenants of such delinquencies or other unpaid amounts).  This Section 10.1(a) and the obligations set forth herein shall survive the Closing for twelve (12) months.

 

(b)                                 In order to enable Buyer to make any year-end reconciliations of tenant reimbursements of Additional Rent for the year in which the Closing takes place after the end thereof, Buyer shall determine the amount actually paid or incurred by Seller in connection with the expenses used to calculate the Additional Rent for the portion of the year of Closing during which Seller owned the Property (“Seller’s Actual Reimbursable Tenant Expenses”) and the Additional Rent for such actually paid to Seller by Tenants for the portion of the year in which Closing occurs during which Seller owned the Property (“Seller’s Actual Tenant Reimbursements”). On or before the date that is one hundred sixty (160) days after the end of the year in which the Closing takes place (the “Reconciliation Period”), Buyer shall deliver to Seller a reconciliation statement (“Buyer’s Reconciliation Statement”) setting forth (i) Seller’s Actual Reimbursable Tenant Expenses, (ii) Seller’s Actual Tenant Reimbursements, and (iii) a calculation of the difference, if any, between the two (i.e., establishing that Seller’s Actual Reimbursable Tenant Expenses were either more or less than or equal to Seller’s Actual Tenant Reimbursements). Any amount due Seller pursuant to the foregoing calculation (in the event Seller’s Actual Tenant Reimbursements are less than Seller’s Actual Reimbursable Tenant Expenses) or Buyer (in the event Seller’s Actual Tenant Reimbursements are more than Seller’s Actual Reimbursable Tenant Expenses), as the case may be, shall be paid by Buyer to Seller or by Seller to Buyer, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after delivery of Buyer’s Reconciliation Statement to Seller. If Buyer is paid any such amount by Seller, Buyer thereafter shall be obligated to promptly remit the applicable portion to the particular Tenants entitled thereto. Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold Seller and the other seller related parties harmless from and against any Losses arising out of or resulting from Buyer’s failure to remit any amounts actually received from Seller to Tenants in accordance with the provisions hereof. If Buyer has directly or indirectly transferred its interest in any part of the Assets to a successor-in-interest or assignee prior to the end of the Reconciliation Period, then, on or before the transfer of such interest, Buyer shall (i) in writing expressly obligate such successor-in-interest or assignee to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.1, and (ii) deliver written notice of such transfer to Seller, and thereafter Seller shall make the deliveries specified above with respect to the Property to Buyer’s successor-in-interest or assignee.  Buyer’s Reconciliation Statement shall be final and binding for purposes of this Agreement absent manifest error.  The provisions of this Section 10.1(b) shall survive Closing until the end of the Reconciliation Period.

 

(c)                                  Seller shall be responsible for the reconciliation with Tenants of Additional Rent and Tenant reimbursements thereof for any calendar year prior to the year in which the Closing takes place. If the amount of Tenant reimbursements collected by Seller for such prior years is less than the amount of costs paid by Seller for such period in connection with the expenses used to calculate the Additional Rent (or less than the amount that Seller is entitled to recover under the terms of the Space Leases), then Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to

 

27


 

collect such amounts from the Tenants in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 10.1(a). If the amount of Tenant reimbursements collected by Seller for such prior calendar year exceeds the amount of costs paid by Seller with respect to such period (or the amount that Seller is entitled to recover under the terms of the Space Leases), then, to the extent required under the terms of the Space Leases, Seller shall remit such excess amounts to Buyer or to the applicable Tenants as instructed by Buyer. In connection with the foregoing, Seller shall be permitted to make and retain copies of all Space Leases and all billings concerning Tenant reimbursements for such prior years, and Buyer covenants and agrees to otherwise cooperate with Seller (at no out-of-pocket cost to Buyer) for the purpose of enabling Seller to adequately respond to any claim by Tenants for reimbursement of Tenant reimbursements previously paid by such Tenants which response shall be made by Buyer. The provisions of this Section 10.1(c) shall survive the Closing for twelve (12) months.

 

(d)                                 Until such time as all amounts required to be paid to Seller by Buyer pursuant to Section 10.1 shall have been paid in full, Buyer shall furnish to Seller, upon Seller’s request, a reporting of rents which have been collected by Buyer with respect to Space Leases with delinquent Rents as of the Closing.  The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing for twelve (12) months.

 

(e)                                  For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Closing, Seller shall have no right to contact or communicate with any Tenant without the prior written approval of Buyer.

 

SECTION 10.2.                                   Taxes and Assessments. All real estate and personal property taxes and assessments with respect to the Assets located (a) in Indiana, shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer on a “cash basis” and (b) in Kentucky, shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer on an “accrual basis”.  Accordingly (assuming the Closing occurs in calendar year 2019), (x) with respect to the Assets located in Indiana, (1) Buyer and Seller shall prorate the real estate taxes at Closing based on real estate taxes payable in the calendar year 2019 (despite the fact that such taxes are assessed with respect to the calendar year 2018) (the “2018 Taxes”) with Seller being responsible for Seller’s Share (as defined below) of the 2018 Taxes and Buyer being responsible for Buyer’s Share (as defined below) of the 2018 Taxes and (2) all real estate and personal property taxes and assessments assessed for such Assets for the year of Closing (i.e., 2019) but payable in a subsequent year shall not be prorated and shall be payable by Buyer and (y) with respect to the Assets located in Kentucky, Buyer and Seller shall prorate the real estate taxes at Closing based on real estate taxes for the calendar year 2019 (regardless of when payable) with Seller being obligated to pay that portion of such taxes and assessments with respect to such Assets for all periods prior to the Closing Date and Buyer being obligated to pay the portion of such taxes and assessments with respect to such Assets for all periods from and after the Closing Date.  In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for, nor shall Buyer receive a credit with respect to (i) any taxes payable in the calendar year 2020, (ii) any increase in the taxes on the Assets resulting from the sale of the Assets contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) any change in use of the Assets or Property on or after the Closing Date, or (iv) any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date.  If any assessments on the Assets or Property are payable in installments, then the installment allocable to the period in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated as of the Closing Date (with Buyer being obligated to pay that portion of such installment attributable to the period on and after the Closing Date, as well as all installments coming due on or after the Closing Date). If Closing shall occur before the actual taxes payable during the year in

 

28


 

which Closing occurs are known, the apportionment of taxes shall be upon the basis of taxes for the Property payable during the immediately preceding tax year, calculated using the maximum discount allowed by law; provided, however, that, if the taxes payable during the year in which Closing occurs are thereafter determined to be more or less than the taxes payable during the preceding year, Seller and Buyer shall promptly (but no later than December 31 of the year such taxes have been paid in full) adjust the proration of such taxes, and Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall pay to the other any amount required as a result of such adjustment; this covenant shall survive the Closing until December 31 of the year such taxes have been paid in full.  For purposes of this Section 10.2, (I) Seller’s Share shall mean the amount, expressed as a percentage, equal to the number of days the in 2019 in which the Seller owned the Assets (excluding the Closing Date) divided by 365 and (II) Buyer’s Share shall 100% minus Seller’s Share.

 

SECTION 10.3.                                   Water and Sewer Charges. Water rates, water meter charges, sewer rents and vault charges, if any (other than any such charges, rates or rents which are payable by Tenants pursuant to such Tenants’ Space Leases, for which no adjustment shall be made), shall be adjusted and prorated on the basis of the fiscal period for which assessed. If there is a water meter, or meters, on the Assets, Seller agrees that it shall at the Closing furnish a reading of same to a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing and the unfixed meter charges and the unfixed sewer rent thereon for the time intervening from the date of the last reading shall be apportioned on the basis of such last reading, and shall be appropriately readjusted after the Closing on the basis of the next subsequent bills. Unmetered water charges shall be apportioned on the basis of the charges therefor for the same period of the preceding calendar year, but applying the current rate thereto.

 

SECTION 10.4.                                   Utility Charges. Buyer shall transfer all utilities at the Property to its name as of the Closing Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter and where necessary, post deposits with the utility companies, and shall provide Seller evidence of the same at Closing and Seller shall terminate its accounts with such utility companies or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter and provide Buyer with evidence of the same at Closing. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all utility meters to be read as of the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to recover any and all deposits held by any utility company as of the Closing Date; provided that if any such deposit is transferred to Buyer at Closing, Seller shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of the deposit so transferred. All charges for utilities shall be prorated within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date.

 

SECTION 10.5.                                   Reserved.

 

SECTION 10.6.                                   Reserved.

 

SECTION 10.7.                                   Leasing Costs. Seller shall be responsible and Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for all Leasing Costs that are payable by reason of (i) the execution of a Space Lease in existence as of the Effective Date (an “Existing Lease”), (ii) the renewal, extension, expansion of, or the exercise of any other option under, an Existing Lease prior to the Effective Date, and (iii) amendments of an Existing Lease entered into prior to the Effective Date, in each case as set forth on Schedule 10.7 (collectively, “Seller’s Leasing Costs”). Buyer shall be responsible for the payment (or, in the case of any amounts payable prior to Closing, the reimbursement to Seller) of all other Leasing Costs, including all Leasing Costs as a result of

 

29


 

renewals, extensions, expansions, or the exercise of any other option, occurring on or after the Effective Date under Existing Leases (collectively, “Buyer’s Leasing Costs”). In addition, Buyer shall assume the economic effect of any “free rent” or similar rent concessions pertaining to the period from and after the Closing Date and Buyer shall not receive a credit to the Purchase Price from Seller with respect to any “free rent” or similar rent concessions. If, as of the Closing Date, Seller shall have paid any Leasing Costs which are Buyer’s Leasing Costs, Buyer shall reimburse Seller therefor at Closing. Seller shall pay (or cause to be paid) prior to Closing or credit Buyer at Closing (to the extent unpaid), all Leasing Costs that remain unpaid or outstanding as of the Closing Date which are Seller’s Leasing Costs.

 

SECTION 10.8.                                   Assumed Contracts. Amounts due under the Assumed Contracts with Buyer to receive a credit at Closing for any amounts unpaid and attributable for the period prior to the Closing Date and Seller to receive a credit at Closing for any amounts previously paid and attributable to the period on and following the Closing Date.

 

SECTION 10.9.                                   Miscellaneous. If applicable, all owner’s association, condominium or similar fees and assessments due and payable with respect to the Property with respect to the year in which the Closing occurs shall be adjusted and prorated based on the periods of ownership by Seller and Buyer during such year.

 

SECTION 10.10.                            Tenant Obligations. Notwithstanding any herein to the contrary, there shall be no proration or credit in favor of Buyer or Seller for taxes, utilities, owner’s association fees or similar fees and assessments or other operating expenses or amounts to the extent a Tenant is obligated under its Space Lease to pay the same directly to the applicable third party, including, without limitation, the applicable service provider and/or Governmental Authority entitled to payment.

 

SECTION 10.11.                            Other Adjustments. If applicable, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted at Closing to reflect the adjustment of any other item which, under the explicit terms of this Agreement, is to be apportioned at Closing. Any other items of operating income or operating expense that are customarily apportioned between the parties in real estate closings of comparable commercial properties in the metropolitan area where the Property are located, shall be prorated as applicable.

 

SECTION 10.12.                            Re-Adjustment. In the event any prorations or apportionments made under this Article X shall prove to be incorrect for any reason, then any party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same. Any item that cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available and reprorated when the information is available. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all reprorations contemplated by this Agreement shall be completed within one (1) year after Closing (subject to extension solely as necessary due to the unavailability of final information but in no event to exceed two (2) years after Closing). The obligations of Seller and Buyer under this Article X shall survive the Closing for two (2) years.

1.                                                                                           In consideration of Buyer’s execution of that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale (the “Agreement”) to which this “Joinder” is attached (and of which it forms a part), the undersigned (“Seller Parent”), hereby agrees to fulfill the post-Closing payment obligations of Seller on a joint and several basis with Seller under Section 11.1 of the Agreement (the “Obligations”) in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, in each case subject to the limitations set forth in the Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Joinder and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Agreement.

 

2.                                                                                           Seller Parent acknowledges that Seller Parent is an affiliate of Seller and that Seller Parent will derive substantial benefits from the execution of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and that Seller Parent’s execution of this Joinder is a material inducement and condition to Buyer’s execution of the Agreement.

 

3.                                                                                           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Joinder, the obligations and liabilities of Seller Parent under this Joinder are subject to all limitations applicable to Seller’s obligations and liabilities under the Agreement, including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Article XI of the Agreement, and all such limitations are incorporated herein by this reference as if set forth in full herein. Without limitation on the foregoing: (a) in no event shall Seller Parent’s liability under this Joinder exceed the Cap Limitation (subject to reduction for any claims or amounts actually paid by Seller and credited against the Cap Limitation) in the aggregate for all claims made by Buyer and any Buyer-Related Entities hereunder; and (b) all obligations and liabilities of Seller Parent under this Joinder (including any cause of action by reason of a breach thereof) shall survive the Closing but not beyond the Representation Termination Date unless a longer or shorter survival period is expressly provided for in this Agreement; provided, however, that no claim for indemnification and no action or proceeding with respect to such claims that are subject to the Representation Termination Date or a longer or shorter survival period as expressly provided for in the Agreement shall be valid or enforceable, at law or in equity, unless a claim notice is delivered prior to the Representation Termination Date or the applicable longer or shorter survival period as expressly provided for in this Agreement it being understood that, if such proceeding is commenced prior to the Representation Termination Date, then all rights and remedies with respect to the matters which are the subject of such proceeding shall survive until full and final resolution of such claim and, if applicable, full payment of any amounts owed to Buyer. Each of the obligations set forth in this Joinder is an unconditional guaranty of payment, not collection, and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that Buyer first attempt to collect any amounts from Seller or resort to any security or other means of collecting payment. A separate proceeding or proceedings may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor to enforce the obligations set forth in this Joinder, irrespective of whether any action is brought against Seller or any other person or whether Seller or any other person are joined in any such proceeding or proceedings.

 

4.                                                                                           The following Sections of the Agreement shall apply to this Joinder as though herein set forth in full, mutatis mutandis: Section 11.3, Section 11.4, Section 11.5, Section 11.8, Section 15.6 through Section 15.19 (with any notice to Seller Parent to be sent to the addresses set forth for Seller in Section 15.9 of the Agreement) and Section 15.21 through

 


 

Section 15.24. Seller Parent hereby makes each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1 of the Agreement as to itself.

CERTIFICATE OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS

 

[PROPERTY NAME; ADDRESS]

 

This certificate (this “Certificate”) is furnished to [                       ], a [                       ] (“Buyer”), pursuant to that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated as of [                      , 20   ] between [SELLER], a [                           ] (“Seller”) and Buyer, for the purpose of establishing and documenting the non-foreign affidavit exemption to the withholding requirement of Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

Section 1445 of the Code provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person.  For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445 of the Code), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be deemed the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity.  To inform Buyer that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by [SELLER], a [                          ] (“Transferor”) (the owner, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, of Seller, which is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of transferor:

 

1.              Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Code and Income Tax Regulations).

 

2.              Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations.

 

3.              Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is [                   ]

 

4.              Transferor’s office address is [                                        ].

 

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

 


 

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

ARTICLE 1
PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE PROPERTY

 

Section 1.1.           Purchase and Sale.  Subject to the provisions, terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, all of the Property, but specifically excluding any rights to use any legal or trade names of Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates in any manner, and reserving and retaining the non-exclusive right to bring insurance, indemnity, or other similar claims under or with respect to the Leases, Real Property or Intangible Property relating to Seller’s ownership of the Property prior to Closing.

 

Section 1.2.           Purchase Price; Deposit.  Buyer will pay the Purchase Price as described in this Section.  All payments will be made in immediately available funds delivered into escrow with Escrow Agent.

 

(a)           Buyer will deliver the Deposit within three (3) Business Days following the Effective Date.  Escrow Agent will place the Deposit in a separate account on behalf of Seller and Buyer.  Buyer will instruct Escrow Agent whether Buyer elects to have such account be interest-bearing.

 

(b)           The Deposit will be applied as follows: (i) if Buyer terminates this Agreement when Buyer is expressly entitled to do so as provided in this Agreement, the Deposit (less the Transaction Fee, as provided below) will be returned to Buyer; (ii) if the Deposit is to be received by Seller as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Deposit will be paid to Seller; and (iii) if Closing occurs, the Deposit will be credited to Buyer, applied against the Purchase Price, and paid to Seller at Closing.

 

(c)           Buyer will acquire the Ruskin Site subject to the Loan, and upon assumption of the Loan Buyer will receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of the Closing Date.

 

(d)           Buyer will deliver the cash balance of the Purchase Price, as adjusted for any prorations, credits and adjustments to be made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in immediately available funds to Escrow Agent not later than the Closing Date, to be paid to Seller upon Closing.

 

(e)           The Transaction Fee is the independent consideration for the execution of this Agreement by Seller and the provision of the Diligence Period by Seller to Buyer (it being understood that Buyer also expects to incur substantial costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement and Buyer’s inspections as contemplated by Section 2.1 in reliance upon Buyer’s rights under this Agreement).  Upon any termination of this Agreement prior to Closing, the Transaction Fee will be deducted from the Deposit and paid by Escrow Agent to Seller.  The Transaction Fee is earned by Seller as of the Effective Date of this Agreement and is non-refundable in all events, and any reference in this Agreement to a return of the Deposit to Buyer will mean such amount “less the Transaction Fee;” provided, however, that if Closing occurs, the Transaction Fee will be included in the Deposit amount credited to Buyer and applied to the Purchase Price as provided above.

Section 1.3.           Escrow Instructions.  This Agreement, including the Escrow Instructions, will constitute the instructions for Escrow Agent’s handling of the purchase and sale transaction contemplated herein.  Seller and Buyer will execute such supplemental escrow instructions as may reasonably be required by Escrow Agent to enable Escrow Agent to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and Buyer and Seller may each individually request that Escrow Agent enter into such supplemental escrow instructions as either of them may reasonably require provided the same do not conflict with the terms of this Agreement.  If any conflict exists between this Agreement and the provisions of any supplemental escrow instructions, as between Buyer and Seller, the terms of this Agreement will control unless a contrary intent is expressly indicated in the supplemental instructions and such supplemental instructions are signed by both Buyer and Seller.

 

Section 1.4.           All or Nothing Purchase and Sale.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in Sections 1.7, 1.8, 3.7 and 5.1, this Agreement provides Buyer with the right to either purchase all, or none, of the Property but does not give Buyer the right to purchase (or Seller the obligation to sell) less than all of the Property, notwithstanding the presence of any Title Objection Matters or other Diligence Period objections that Buyer may have with respect to any one or more of the Sites; or any asserted breach, default or nonperformance by Seller or Buyer with respect to any one or more of the Sites.  For the avoidance of doubt, if Buyer or Seller extends the Closing Date with respect to more that one Site pursuant to Section 1.7 (with respect to the Joplin Site), Section 1.8 (with respect to the St. Louis Site) and/or Section 5.1 (with respect to the Ruskin Site), then any asserted breach, default or nonperformance by Seller or Buyer under this Agreement with respect to one of those Sites shall be deemed a breach, default or nonperformance by Seller or Buyer under this Agreement with respect to all of those Sites until such time as the Closing shall have occurred with respect to any such Site, in which case neither Party shall have any right to terminate or otherwise rescind this Agreement or unwind the Closing with respect to such Site for which the Closing has occurred.

 

Section 1.5.           Loan Assumption for Ruskin Site.

 

(a)           Buyer’s obligation to close on the purchase of the Property from Seller pursuant to this Agreement, and Seller’s obligation to close on the sale of the Property to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, are each contingent upon the written approval by Lender of Seller’s assignment to, and Buyer’s assumption of, the Loan in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer (collectively, the “Loan Assumption Approval”).  Seller’s obligation to close on the sale of the Property to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement is also contingent upon Lender’s agreement pursuant to the assumption documents to release Seller, its affiliates and any existing guarantors, from all liability arising under or with respect to the Loan from and after Closing in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 5.1 hereof, the Loan Assumption Approval shall not be considered to have been given unless and until Buyer, Seller and Lender have agreed on the final forms of all documents necessary to evidence Buyer’s assumption of the Loan and the release of Seller as herein provided.

 

(b)           Buyer will submit Buyer’s portion of Lender’s completed loan assumption application, along with any required information, loan application fees and deposits, to Lender not later than ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date, and Buyer will thereafter use good faith and diligent efforts to obtain the Loan Assumption Approval.  In seeking the Loan Assumption Approval, Buyer agrees (i) to reasonably cooperate with Lender’s customary requests for delivery of information, (ii) to enter into commercially reasonable loan assumption documents in form and content customarily required of similarly situated buyers in similar

 

9


 

transactions, and (iii) to comply with any other commercially reasonable requirements and conditions of Lender in connection with the assumption of the Loan.  Buyer acknowledges that the economic terms of the Loan will not be modified in connection with the Loan Assumption Approval and that Buyer’s obligation to assume the Loan is not conditioned upon Lender providing any modifications or concessions to the economic terms of the Loan; provided, that Buyer likewise is not obligated to agree to any modification of the economic terms of the Loan or any material modification of any of the other terms of the Loan in order to obtain the Loan Assumption Approval.  Seller will reasonably cooperate with Buyer in applying for and obtaining the Loan Assumption Approval, including delivering such notices or requests and providing such information as may be required in connection therewith or otherwise reasonably requested by Buyer or Lender, and Seller will use good faith and diligent efforts to assist Buyer in obtaining the Loan Assumption Approval from Lender.  Buyer will provide Seller with regular updates of the status of the Loan Assumption Approval, including without limitation, promptly after any Seller request therefor.

 

(c)           At the Closing, Buyer will timely pay any loan assumption fee required by Lender in connection with the Loan Assumption Approval in an amount not to exceed one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan (the “Loan Assumption Fee”); provided, however, Buyer shall have no obligation to pay the Loan Assumption Fee if the Closing does not occur. Buyer will also pay all other reasonable and customary fees, costs and expenses of Lender associated with issuance of the Loan Assumption Approval, including without limitation all reasonable attorneys’ fees, title costs, appraisal fees, rating agency fees, if applicable, and other third party costs incurred or imposed by Lender or the Loan servicer in connection with Buyer’s application for and pursuit of the Loan Assumption Approval (collectively, the “Loan Assumption Costs”), which obligation will expressly survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.  If this Agreement is terminated after Buyer pays any Loan Assumption Costs (including without limitation, any applicable loan application fees or deposits), Buyer shall be entitled to receive any such Loan Assumption Costs which are refunded, reimbursed or returned by Lender (if any).

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.5(a) to the contrary, if, despite the Parties’ commercially reasonable efforts, Lender has not provided preliminary written approval of Seller’s assignment to, and Buyer’s assumption of, the Loan (the “Preliminary Loan Assumption Approval”) within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, then, until the Preliminary Loan Assumption Approval is obtained, either Buyer or Seller will have the unilateral right to terminate this Agreement upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of termination given to the non-terminating Party.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, Escrow Agent will return the Deposit to Buyer and this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate, except for Obligations Surviving Termination.

 

Section 1.6.           Seller Approval Contingencies.  The obligations of Seller to proceed to Closing and convey the Property to Buyer as provided in this Agreement are subject to Seller having received the approval of this transaction from both (a) the board of directors (or the appropriate committee or subset thereof, if applicable) of Cole REIT prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period (the “CCIT II Board Approval”) and (b) certain lenders under Seller’s unsecured line of credit (the “Unsecured Lenders’ Approval” and, together with the CCIT Board Approval, collectively, the “Approvals”).  Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to timely pursue and obtain the Approvals, and will provide prompt notice to Buyer if and when each Approval is obtained.  If Seller has not provided notice to Buyer that Seller has obtained the Approvals prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period, then at any time after the expiration

 

10


 

of the Diligence Period and until (but in no event after) Seller has provided notice to Buyer that Seller has obtained the Approvals in accordance with this Section 1.6, Buyer may terminate this Agreement upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Seller.  If Seller provides notice to Buyer that Seller has obtained the Approvals prior to the termination date specified in Buyer’s notice to Seller under this Section 1.6, then this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and Buyer’s termination shall be considered void ab initio.  If Seller fails to provide notice to Buyer that Seller has obtained the Approvals and this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 1.6, then Escrow Agent will return the Deposit to Buyer and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all of its documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement (which reimbursement obligation shall survive such termination), provided, however, in no event shall such reimbursement exceed Four Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($450,000.00) (the “Cost Reimbursement Cap”), which obligation shall survive any such termination, and this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate, except for Obligations Surviving Termination.  Seller’s receipt of the Approvals as provided above is a condition precedent to Seller’s obligation to close escrow under this Agreement, but any inability of Seller to obtain the Approvals shall not be deemed a breach or default by Seller under this Agreement.

 

Section 1.7.           Joplin TIF Agreements Contingency.

 

(a)           In order to close on the Joplin Site, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that it shall be an obligation of Seller to obtain the approval of City of Joplin and UMB Bank, N.A. to the assignment and assumption of the Joplin TIF Agreements (the “Joplin TIF Assignment Approval”), which Joplin TIF Assignment Approval shall be evidenced by documentation recognizing Buyer as the Company and the Owner of the Bonds (as such terms are defined in the Joplin TIF Agreements) under the Joplin TIF Agreements, which documentation shall be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to each of Seller and Buyer.  After such closing, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer to secure delivery to Buyer of an original bond properly executed by the City of Joplin and authenticated by UMB Bank, N.A., together with assurances reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that such bond is the only outstanding bond issued in connection with the Joplin TIF Agreements.  Buyer and Seller agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approvals, documentation and assurances.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Joplin TIF Assignment Approval has not been obtained on or before the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, then either Seller or Buyer may extend the Closing with respect to the Joplin Site only (the “Joplin Closing”) to the date which is five (5) Business Days following the Parties’ receipt of the Joplin TIF Assignment Approval (the “Joplin Closing Date”) by giving written notice thereof to the other Party on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.  If either Seller or Buyer elects to extend the Joplin Closing to the Joplin Closing Date as aforesaid, then (i) the Closing with respect to the balance of the Property (other than the Joplin Site and, if applicable, the St. Louis Site pursuant to Section 1.8 and the Ruskin Site pursuant to Section 5.1(b)) shall occur on the Closing Date, (ii) the Purchase Price to be paid by Seller to Buyer at the Closing shall be reduced by the amount of the Allocated Purchase Price for the Joplin Site on Schedule A-1 (the “Joplin Allocated Purchase Price”), (iii) the Escrow Agent shall retain and continue to hold the amount of Seven Hundred Sixty Thousand and 00/100ths Dollars ($760,000.00) (together with interest earned thereon, the “Joplin Allocated Deposit”) from the Deposit to be credited to Purchaser and paid to Seller at the Joplin Closing.  Following the Closing, (X) the Joplin Site shall continue to be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (Y) all references in this

 

11


 

Agreement to the Closing, the Closing Date, the Deposit and the Purchase Price shall mean, with respect to the Joplin Site, the Joplin Closing, the Joplin Closing Date, the Joplin Allocated Deposit and the Joplin Allocated Purchase Price, respectively.  For the avoidance of doubt, if Buyer elects to extend the Joplin Closing to the Joplin Closing Date in accordance with this Section 1.7, then, following the Closing, neither Party shall have any right to terminate or otherwise rescind this Agreement or unwind the Closing with respect to the balance of the Property for which the Closing has occurred.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if the St. Louis TIF Assignment Approval has not been obtained on or before the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, then either Seller or Buyer may extend the Closing with respect to the St. Louis Site only (the “St. Louis Closing”) to the date which is five (5) Business Days following the Parties’ receipt of the St. Louis TIF Assignment Approval (the “St. Louis Closing Date”) by giving written notice thereof to the other Party on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.  If either Seller or Buyer elects to extend the St. Louis Closing to the St. Louis Closing Date as aforesaid, then (i) the Closing with respect to the balance of the Property (other than the St. Louis Site and, if applicable, the Joplin Site pursuant to Section 1.7 and the Ruskin Site pursuant to Section 5.1(b)) shall occur on the Closing Date, (ii) the Purchase Price to be paid by Seller to Buyer at the Closing shall be reduced by the amount of the Allocated Purchase Price for the St. Louis Site on Schedule A-1 (the “St. Louis Allocated Purchase Price”), (iii) the Escrow Agent shall retain and continue to hold the amount of Three Million Two Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand and 00/100ths Dollars ($3,225,000.00) (together with interest earned thereon, the “St. Louis Allocated Deposit”) from the Deposit to be credited to Purchaser and paid to Seller at the St. Louis Closing.  Following the Closing, (X) the St. Louis Site shall continue to be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (Y) all references in this Agreement to the Closing, the Closing Date, the Deposit and the Purchase Price shall mean, with respect to the St. Louis Site, the St. Louis Closing, the St. Louis Closing Date, the St. Louis Allocated Deposit and the St. Louis Allocated Purchase Price, respectively.  For the avoidance of doubt, if Buyer elects to extend the St. Louis Closing to the St. Louis Closing Date in accordance with this Section 1.8, then, following the Closing, neither Party shall have any right to terminate or otherwise rescind this Agreement or unwind the Closing with respect to the balance of the Property for which the Closing has occurred.

(a)           During the Diligence Period, Buyer will conduct such commercially reasonable, non-invasive investigations, studies or tests of the Property as Buyer deems necessary to determine whether Buyer desires to complete the acquisition of the Property.  Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion and for any reason or no reason whatsoever, may reject the Property by giving written notice of termination to Seller (the “Termination Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period.  If Buyer timely gives a Termination Notice, Escrow Agent will return the Deposit to Buyer and this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate, except for Obligations Surviving Termination.  Alternately, Buyer may accept the Property by giving written notice of acceptance to Seller and Escrow Agent (the “Acceptance Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period.  If Buyer timely delivers an Acceptance Notice, or fails to deliver either a Termination Notice or an Acceptance Notice prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period, Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the Property, the Deposit will become nonrefundable to Buyer (other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement), and this Agreement will continue in effect subject to the other provisions hereof.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer will have the opportunity during the Diligence Period to inspect and investigate all aspects of the Property to Buyer’s satisfaction.  Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the failure of Buyer to deliver a Termination Notice prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period will constitute a waiver by Buyer of its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.1(a).

 

(b)           Seller has previously delivered to Buyer, or made available to Buyer by diligence website or other electronic means to which Buyer has been given access, the Seller Deliveries, and Seller will deliver or make available to Buyer such other information concerning the Property as Buyer may reasonably request in writing to the extent the same is in Seller’s possession or control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller will have no obligation to deliver or disclose to Buyer any of Seller’s attorney-client privileged materials, appraisals, internal memoranda, or internal evaluations of the Property or any part thereof.  Except as may be otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the Closing Documents, Seller makes no representations or warranties of any kind regarding the accuracy, thoroughness or completeness of or conclusions drawn in the information contained in the Seller Deliveries or any other Diligence Materials.

 

(c)           If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Buyer will promptly return to Seller any Diligence Materials delivered to Buyer in physical form in connection with the Property.

 

Section 2.2.           Title and Survey Matters; Objections.

 

(a)           Prior to the Effective Date, Seller obtained from Title Company and made available to Buyer as part of the Seller Deliveries a title insurance commitment or preliminary title report showing the status of title to each Site (collectively, the “Title Commitment”).  During the Diligence Period Buyer may also, at Buyer’s expense, obtain a new or updated ALTA survey of a Site performed by a registered surveyor and certified to Buyer and the Title Company, and any other party required by Buyer.  Buyer will deliver or e-mail a copy of the current version of any such new Survey to Seller and Title Company promptly after Buyer’s receipt thereof.  Any matters disclosed by the Title Commitment or Survey which are approved, deemed approved, or

waived by Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall constitute “Permitted Exceptions.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all of the Leases shall be considered Permitted Exceptions.

 

(b)           If any exceptions appear on the Title Commitment, or any encroachments or other title conditions are shown on the Survey, that are not acceptable to Buyer, as determined by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion, Buyer will provide written notice to Seller and Title Company of such unacceptable matters (“Title Objection Matters”) not later than five (5) Business Days before the end of the Diligence Period.  In addition, Buyer will have the right to notify Seller and Title Company of any additional Title Objection Matters that first appear on any updates to the Title Commitment or Survey issued after the expiration of the Diligence Period and that materially and adversely impact the Property (a “Post-Diligence Title Defect”), so long as any such additional objection (i) is made by Buyer within five (5) Business Days after Buyer receives the updated Title Commitment adding such new matter for a Site (but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date), and (ii) includes Buyer’s estimated calculation of the expected reduction in fair market value of the affected Site caused by such Post-Diligence Title Defect.  In addition, Buyer shall provide Seller with such supporting documentation and information concerning any Post-Diligence Title Defect as Seller may reasonably request, to the extent such documentation or information is in Buyer’s reasonable possession or control.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, any new Title Objection Matters will be deemed to materially and adversely impact the Property if Buyer reasonably determines that such new Title Objection Matters would reasonably be expected to reduce the fair market value of the affected Site by an amount in excess of the greater of (X) the Threshold Amount, or (Y) one percent (1.0%) of the allocated portion of the Purchase Price applicable to the affected Site, individually or in the aggregate.   Unless timely objected to in writing by Buyer as Title Objection Matters as provided above, all matters disclosed by the Title Commitment or Survey (or any updates thereto) shall be deemed to constitute Permitted Exceptions.

 

(c)           Seller may elect (but is not obligated) to cure or attempt to cure any Title Objection Matters, and Seller will notify Buyer in writing within five (5) Business Days after Seller receives Buyer’s notice of Title Objection Matters if Seller elects to cure any of such objections; provided, however, Seller shall be obligated to cure and discharge all Monetary Encumbrances at or prior to the Closing regardless of whether or not Buyer objects to the same as Title Objection Matters.  If neither Seller nor Title Company elects within such period to cure the Title Objection Matters, then within five (5) Business Days thereafter (but in any event prior to the Closing Date), Buyer will elect to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event Escrow Agent will return the Deposit to Buyer and thereafter the Parties will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for Obligations Surviving Termination, or (ii) waive any uncured Title Objection Matters and proceed to Closing; provided, however, in the event Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence, Seller may nullify such election by agreeing (in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion) to pay to Buyer, as a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing, the expected reduction in fair market value caused by any Post-Diligence Title Defect(s) as set forth in Buyer’s notice of additional Title Objection Matters; provided, however, Seller shall not have any right to provide such a credit in excess of the greater of (X) Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100ths Dollars ($500,000.00), or (Y) five percent (5.0%) of the allocated portion of the Purchase Price applicable to the affected Site, individually or in the aggregate for all such Title Objection Matters affecting such Site, without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion.  Failure of Buyer to respond in writing within such five-Business Day period shall be deemed an election by Buyer to waive any uncured Title Objection Matters and proceed

 

14


 

to Closing.  Any Title Objection Matters so waived (or deemed waived) by Buyer shall be deemed to constitute Permitted Exceptions.

 

(d)           Seller has no obligation to bring any action or proceeding or incur any expense to cure, remove or otherwise address any Title Objection Matter (other than Monetary Encumbrances).  Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price being paid at Closing to cure or remove any Monetary Encumbrances and/or other Title Objection Matters that Seller has agreed to cure or remove, provided the Title Company must thereupon either remove such Title Objection Matter as an exception to title or “cure” such Monetary Encumbrance or other Title Objection Matter by affirmatively insuring over or providing such other coverage as may be reasonably acceptable to Buyer with respect to such Title Objection Matter.  Seller will be entitled to a reasonable extension of the Closing Date (not to exceed thirty (30) days) for the cure or removal of any Title Objection Matters that Seller elects to cure or remove.  For purposes of this Section, a Title Objection Matter that is not completely removed as an exception to title but has been cured as required above will, as so cured, be a Permitted Exception.

 

(e)           Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property is conditioned upon Title Company being irrevocably committed at Closing to issuing its Title Policy for each Site, upon payment of the applicable premium therefor and the satisfaction by Buyer of the customary Buyer’s conditions and requirements thereto.  If the Title Company is not irrevocably committed to issuing its Title Policy for each Site at Closing as aforesaid, Buyer will have the option, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice of termination delivered to Seller and Escrow Agent prior to or upon such Closing Date, or (ii) proceed to Closing as scheduled.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 2.2, Escrow Agent will return the Deposit to Buyer and thereafter the Parties will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for Obligations Surviving Termination.

 

Section 2.3.           Entry, Insurance and Indemnity.

 

(a)           Buyer must give Seller not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice of any desired entry by any Buyer Parties onto any Site, which notice may be given by e-mail to Ms. Sofia Tobar (email: stobar@cimgroup.com), provided that contemporaneous notice is also given to Seller as required by Section 7.1 hereof.  Buyer shall coordinate such entry and any related testing or inspections with Seller.  Seller has the right to have a representative present during any entry by any Buyer Parties onto any Site.  All such inspections must be performed in a manner that is intended not to damage any Site and to avoid any unreasonable interference with the use of the Property by Seller or any Tenants, subtenants, occupants, licensees, customers or invitees of the Property or with the activities occurring thereon.  Buyer and the Buyer Parties will comply with the reasonable rules and restrictions imposed by Seller or any Tenant, subtenant, occupant or licensee of the Property (as to such party’s premises) and with the terms of all Leases affecting the areas entered.  Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has been provided with various Leases and other occupancy agreements affecting the Property and, as such, is aware of (or has the ability to familiarize itself with) all such rules, restrictions and/or terms therein.  To the extent Seller wishes to impose additional reasonable rules and restrictions, it may do so by providing written notice thereof to Buyer.

 

(b)           Buyer will not have the right to conduct any “Phase II” environmental assessments or to otherwise perform any invasive testing or work (such as the collection of soil or water samples or other tests involving the penetration of the surface or subsurface of the Property or of any components of the property improvements) (“Invasive Work”) without the

 

15


 

prior written approval of Seller, which approval may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion (except as hereinafter provided) and may, if granted, be conditioned upon such precautions as Seller deems advisable to protect itself and the Property.  If, however, Buyer obtains an ASTM Phase I environmental study performed by a reputable consultant that concludes a Phase II environmental study of any Site (or aspects thereof) needs to be performed, and as a result Buyer desires to have a Phase II performed, Buyer will provide written notice to Seller (the “Phase II Notice”) following its receipt of such ASTM Phase I environmental study.  If Buyer provides a Phase II Notice, Buyer will thereafter promptly provide to Seller, for Seller’s review, comment and written approval prior to the performance of any work at the Site relating to such Phase II, a written request for approval accompanied by (i) Buyer’s agreement with Buyer’s environmental consultant for the performance of the Phase II, (ii) the detailed scope of work such consultant proposes to perform for such Phase II, including without limitation the details of any entry upon and activities to be performed by or for such consultant at or about the Site, (iii) a copy of Buyer’s ASTM Phase I environmental study containing the recommendation for the Phase II, and (iv) an insurance certificate from Buyer’s consultant evidencing that such consultant will be providing Seller and the other Seller Parties with liability insurance protection not less than is required under Section 2.3(c) of this Agreement with respect to the Phase II.  Upon receipt of the foregoing, Seller shall promptly review and shall not unreasonably withhold its approval to such request.  Buyer will pay all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer and Buyer’s consultants in connection with the Phase II.  Upon request by Seller, Buyer will provide a copy of the completed Phase II report to Seller.  The parties agree that the performance of a “Phase I” Environmental Site Assessment pursuant to ASTM protocol and/or any indoor air quality sampling or radon testing that, in any case, does not entail any penetration of the surface of the Property or collection of any soil or water samples, does not constitute Invasive Work.

 

(c)           Buyer will maintain commercial general liability insurance with a financially responsible insurance company covering liabilities arising from the activities of Buyer and all Buyer Parties in, upon, about or with respect to the Property and Buyer’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement.  Such insurance policy must have limits of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 aggregate (which limits may include applicable excess or umbrella coverage).  Buyer’s policy must insure the contractual liability of Buyer’s indemnification and defense obligations under this Agreement and must (i) name Seller, the applicable Tenant and the other Seller Parties as additional insureds with respect to all matters arising out of or relating to the activities of Buyer or any other Buyer Parties in, upon, about or with respect to the Property, (ii) contain a cross-liability provision, and (iii) be primary and noncontributing with any other insurance available to Seller, any applicable Tenant and the other Seller Parties.  Buyer must provide Seller with evidence of such insurance coverage prior to any entry upon or inspection of the Property.

 

(d)           Buyer will pay all costs incurred in connection with Buyer’s due diligence activities regarding the Property, will promptly repair and restore any damage caused to the Property by such activities so that the Property is repaired and restored to substantially the same condition as it was in immediately prior to such damage, and will not permit any mechanics or other liens to be filed against the Property as a result of such activities.  BUYER WILL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD THE SELLER PARTIES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF ANY ACTIVITIES OF THE BUYER PARTIES IN, UPON OR ABOUT THE PROPERTY PRIOR TO CLOSING; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT BUYER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INDEMNIFYING SELLER FOR THE MERE DISCOVERY OF ANY PRE-EXISTING ADVERSE CONDITION ON THE PROPERTY (ENVIRONMENTAL OR OTHERWISE) OR FOR CLAIMS TO THE EXTENT CAUSED

 

16


 

SOLELY BY SELLER’S OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.  Buyer’s indemnity and insurance obligations under this Article 2 are not limited by the liquidated damages provisions contained in Article 6.  The provisions of this Section will survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 2.4.           AS-IS SALE.  BUYER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT (A) SUBJECT TO THE EXPRESS TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS, SELLER IS SELLING AND BUYER IS PURCHASING THE PROPERTY “AS IS, WHERE IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS” AND (B) EXCEPT FOR SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS, BUYER IS NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS OR AGREEMENTS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, FROM SELLER OR ANY SELLER PARTY AS TO ANY MATTER CONCERNING OR RELATING TO THE PROPERTY, OR SET FORTH, CONTAINED OR ADDRESSED IN THE DILIGENCE MATERIALS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE COMPLETENESS THEREOF), INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION: (I) THE QUALITY, NATURE, HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS, USE, OPERATION, VALUE, MARKETABILITY, ADEQUACY OR PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY OR ANY ASPECT OR PORTION THEREOF (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS, FOUNDATION, ROOF, APPURTENANCES, ACCESS, LANDSCAPING, PARKING FACILITIES, ELECTRICAL, MECHANICAL, HVAC, COMMUNICATION, PLUMBING, SEWAGE, AND UTILITY SYSTEMS, FACILITIES AND APPLIANCES, SOILS, GEOLOGY, GROUNDWATER AND INTERNAL AIR QUALITY); (II) THE DIMENSIONS OR LOT SIZE OF THE REAL PROPERTY OR THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THEREON OR OF ANY TENANT’S OR OCCUPANT’S SPACE THEREIN OR COMMON AREAS THEREOF; (III) THE DEVELOPMENT OR INCOME POTENTIAL, OR RIGHTS OF OR RELATING TO, THE PROPERTY, OR THE SUITABILITY, VALUE, ADEQUACY, OR FITNESS OF THE PROPERTY FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE; (IV) THE ZONING OR OTHER LEGAL STATUS OF THE PROPERTY OR ANY OTHER PUBLIC OR PRIVATE RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF THE PROPERTY; (V) THE COMPLIANCE OF THE PROPERTY OR ITS OPERATION WITH ANY APPLICABLE CODES, LAWS, REGULATIONS, STATUTES, ORDINANCES, COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS OF ANY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT); (VI) THE ABILITY OF BUYER TO OBTAIN ANY NECESSARY GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS, LICENSES OR PERMITS FOR THE CURRENT USE OR BUYER’S INTENDED USE, DEVELOPMENT OR REDEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY; (VII) THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS OR OTHER HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS ON, IN, UNDER, ABOVE OR ABOUT THE PROPERTY, ANY PART THEREOF, OR ANY ADJOINING OR NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES; (VIII) THE QUALITY OF ANY LABOR OR MATERIALS USED IN ANY IMPROVEMENTS; (IX) THE CONDITION OF TITLE TO THE PROPERTY; (X) ANY LEASES OR ANY CONTRACTS OR OTHER AGREEMENTS AFFECTING THE PROPERTY OR THE INTENTIONS OF ANY PERSON WITH RESPECT TO THE NEGOTIATION AND/OR EXECUTION OF ANY LEASES, CONTRACTS OR AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY OR ANY PORTION THEREOF; (XI) THE ECONOMICS OF, OR THE INCOME AND EXPENSES, REVENUE OR EXPENSE PROJECTIONS OR OTHER FINANCIAL MATTERS RELATING TO, THE OWNERSHIP OR OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY; OR (XII) THE LOAN, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE LENDER, OR THE WILLINGNESS OF LENDER TO PROVIDE THE LOAN ASSUMPTION APPROVAL.  WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, BUYER

 

17


 

ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS, BUYER IS NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS OR AGREEMENTS OF SELLER, ANY OTHER SELLER PARTY, OR ANY AGENT OR BROKER OF SELLER, WHETHER IMPLIED, PRESUMED OR EXPRESSLY PROVIDED AT LAW OR OTHERWISE, OR ARISING BY VIRTUE OF ANY STATUTE, COMMON LAW OR OTHER RIGHT OR REMEDY IN FAVOR OF BUYER.  BUYER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT SELLER IS UNDER NO DUTY TO MAKE ANY INQUIRY REGARDING ANY MATTER THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE KNOWN TO SELLER, ANY OTHER SELLER PARTY, OR ANY OTHER AGENT OR BROKER OF SELLER.

 

IF BUYER PURCHASES THE PROPERTY, ANY REPORTS, REPAIRS OR WORK REQUIRED OF OR BY BUYER FOLLOWING THE CLOSING ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF BUYER, AND BUYER AGREES THAT THERE IS NO OBLIGATION ON THE PART OF SELLER TO BUYER EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER CLOSING TO MAKE ANY CHANGES, ALTERATIONS OR REPAIRS TO THE PROPERTY OR TO CURE ANY VIOLATIONS OF LAW OR TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF ANY INSURER OR GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE FOREGOING ACKNOWLEDGMENT SHALL NOT IMPAIR OR RESTRICT BUYER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES FOR SELLER’S BREACH OF ANY OF THE EXPRESS TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS.  BUYER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING THE ISSUANCE OR RE-ISSUANCE OF ANY CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY OR ANY OTHER APPROVAL OR PERMIT NECESSARY FOR TRANSFER OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PROPERTY OR ANY PORTION THEREOF AND FOR ANY IMPROVEMENTS, REPAIRS OR ALTERATIONS NECESSARY TO OBTAIN THE SAME, ALL AT BUYER’S SOLE COST AND EXPENSE.

 

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION WILL SURVIVE THE CLOSING OR ANY EARLIER TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

Section 2.5.           Release.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.4, but subject to all of the express rights and remedies reserved to Buyer in this Agreement and the other Closing Documents, Buyer, for itself, the other Buyer Parties, and any assignee of Buyer’s interests under this Agreement, waives all rights to recover from, and forever releases, discharges and covenants not to sue, Seller and the other Seller Parties with respect to any and all Claims that Buyer may have against Seller or the other Seller Parties related to the Property or any part thereof, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, that may exist or arise on account of or in any way be connected with the Property (including without limitation the physical, operational, environmental, and structural condition of the Property) or any law or regulation applicable thereto, including without limitation any such Claims or other matters relating to the use, presence, discharge or release of Hazardous Materials on, under, in, above or about the Property; provided, however, the foregoing release does not extend to Lender.  Buyer assumes the risk that Buyer’s investigations of the Property may not reveal all aspects and conditions of the Property.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Buyer is an experienced and knowledgeable purchaser of real property; (b) Buyer expressly accepts and fully understands the limitations of liability contained in this Agreement; and (c) the limitations contained in this Agreement are reasonable.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller has agreed to enter into this Agreement in consideration for and in reliance upon the limitations of liability contained in this Agreement, that the Purchase Price is based in part on such limitations of liability, and that Seller would not have agreed to execute this Agreement or sell the Property to Buyer on terms that did not include such limitations of liability.

THE WAIVERS AND RELEASES CONTAINED IN SECTIONS 2.4 AND 2.5 EXTEND TO ALL CLAIMS OF ANY NATURE AND KIND WHATSOEVER, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR NOT SUSPECTED, AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, BUYER WAIVES ANY PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE LAW THAT OTHERWISE MAY LIMIT OR PROHIBIT SUCH WAIVERS AND RELEASES.  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION WILL SURVIVE THE CLOSING OR ANY EARLIER TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

ARTICLE 3
OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY; CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

 

Section 3.1.                                Operation of the Property.  Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall continue to operate and maintain the Property in the ordinary course of business consistent with Seller’s past practices.  Without limiting the foregoing, Seller will (a) maintain (or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Tenant to maintain, as appropriate) its respective Site in substantially the same condition as existed on the Effective Date, subject to reasonable wear and tear and any damage or destruction by Casualty, Condemnation (both as defined below), or other causes or events beyond the reasonable control of Seller; (b) maintain (or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Tenant to maintain, as appropriate) all existing or required insurance with respect to each Site; and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all of its obligations under all Leases, Contracts, Related Agreements, Legal Requirements and Permitted Exceptions in all material respects.

 

Section 3.2.                                Amendments to Property Agreements.  Except as provided in Section 3.3 below, Seller shall obtain Buyer’s approval prior to entering into any new agreement affecting the Property or any amendment to or termination of any Lease, Loan Document or Related Agreement or otherwise exercising any rights or remedies under any Lease (including, without limitation, before applying or drawing down on any security deposit or letter of credit for any Lease), Loan Document or Related Agreement, provided that (i) if Buyer fails to either give or expressly refuse such consent within five (5) Business Days of receiving the written request from Seller, such consent shall conclusively be deemed to have been given; and (ii) Buyer’s consent (x) may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to any of the foregoing acts that is proposed not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period; and (y) may be granted or withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion with respect to any such amendment or termination that is proposed between the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period and Closing; provided, further, if any act for which Seller is obligated to seek Buyer’s consent under this Section 3.2 is required under the applicable underlying document, then Buyer’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed regardless of when such consent is requested. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Related Agreement for the lease with the Town of Bethlehem Industrial Development Agency for the parcel of land described in Exhibit A-14 and the improvements located thereon expired by its own terms on December 31, 2018, hereby consents to Seller acquiring fee title to the land and improvements constituting such Property as contemplated by such Related Agreement, and acknowledges and agrees that, upon Seller acquiring fee title to the land and improvements constituting such Property, the Site described in Exhibit A-14 shall no longer be a “TIF Site” hereunder.

 

19


 

Section 3.3.                                Contracts.

 

(a)                                 Any Contracts existing on the Effective Date will be provided to Buyer as a part of the Seller Deliveries for Buyer’s review during the Diligence Period.  Seller shall obtain Buyer’s approval prior to entering into any new service contracts, maintenance contracts, site equipment leases, and like contracts and agreements affecting the Property or any amendment to or termination of any Contract unless the same is being entered into in the ordinary course of business and such Contract or other agreement will not extend beyond the Closing or is terminable upon not more than thirty (30) days’ notice without payment of any fee or penalty.

 

(b)                                 Not later than the expiration of the Diligence Period, Buyer will deliver a written notice to Seller setting forth which, if any, of the Contracts Buyer elects to have Seller terminate.  Seller will deliver notices of termination prior to or at Closing terminating those Contracts that Buyer so timely notifies Seller to terminate, and Seller will be responsible for any termination penalties or fees associated with the termination of such Contracts.  At Closing, Seller will assign to Buyer, to the extent assignable, and Buyer will assume, all remaining Contracts for each Site pursuant to the General Assignment described in Section 5.3 below.  Any amounts paid or payable under any Contracts being assigned to Buyer will be appropriately prorated between the Parties at Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Contracts that are in effect on the Effective Date are not terminable without cause or penalty upon thirty (30) days’ or less notice, Seller will have no obligation to terminate such non-terminable Contracts, and at Closing Buyer will accept the assignment of such non-terminable Contracts.

 

(c)                                  Seller will cause all property management agreements and/or leasing brokerage or commission agreements to which Seller is a party to be terminated with respect to the Property effective as of the Closing Date, and Seller will be solely responsible for any termination fees or other payments due under any such terminated agreements.  This Section 3.3 shall survive the Closing.

 

Section 3.4.                                Cooperation.  If Closing occurs, from and after Closing, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with each other and use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such documents contemplated by this Agreement or take such ministerial acts, at no material cost to the acting party, reasonably requested by the other in connection with this Agreement and the Closing.  This Section 3.4 shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months.

 

Section 3.5.                                Casualty.  If any of the Property is damaged or destroyed by one or more fires or other casualty events (“Casualty”) prior to Closing, Seller will provide prompt written notice to Buyer of such Casualty.  If the applicable Site is “materially damaged or destroyed” (as defined below) by such Casualty, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller within ten (10) Business Days after Buyer receives notice of the occurrence of such Casualty (and, if applicable, the Closing Date shall automatically be extended until the date which is five (5) Business Days following the expiration of such ten-Business Day period).  If Buyer so terminates this Agreement, then Escrow Agent will return the Deposit to Buyer and neither Party will have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for Obligations Surviving Termination.  If Buyer does not so terminate this Agreement, or if the applicable Site is not deemed “materially damaged or destroyed,” Buyer will remain bound to purchase the Property for the full Purchase Price pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, without regard to the occurrence or effects of the Casualty; provided that (a) if a Tenant is responsible under its Lease for insuring a Site suffering a Casualty, then at Closing Seller will assign to Buyer Seller’s interest in the property insurance proceeds payable to Seller (if any) under such Tenant’s insurance for the restoration of the physical damage to such Site, or (b) if

 

20


 

Seller is responsible under the applicable Lease for insuring a Site suffering a Casualty, then at Closing Seller will provide Buyer with a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the property insurance proceeds that would be payable to Seller (if any) under Seller’s insurance for the repair of the physical damage to such Site, plus any deductible amount applicable thereto, up to (but not to exceed) the allocated Purchase Price amount for such Site, and net of any costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Seller prior to Closing in connection with the Casualty.  For purposes of this Section, a Site shall be deemed “materially damaged or destroyed” if (i) the aggregate estimated repair cost for the Site suffering such Casualty is greater than ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price allocated to such Site (as specified on Schedule A for such Site); (ii) if the Tenant is responsible under the Lease for insuring such Site suffering a Casualty but the landlord (rather than such Tenant) is responsible under such Lease for performing the repair or restoration of such Site, and (x) the insurance proceeds amount that would be assigned to Buyer on account of any property insurance as provided above for such Site (together with any contribution required to be made by the Tenant) is not reasonably sufficient to fund any repairs Buyer would be required to make to return such Site to the condition required by the Lease, and (y) Seller does not agree (in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion) to pay or credit Buyer for the anticipated shortfall; (iii) if Seller is responsible under the Lease for insuring and restoring a Site suffering a Casualty but (x) the insurance proceeds amount (including applicable deductible) that would be credited to Buyer as provided above for such Site is not reasonably sufficient to fund any repairs Buyer would be required to pay for or make to return such Site to a condition as good as existed immediately prior to the Casualty, and (y) Seller does not agree (in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion) to pay or credit Buyer for the anticipated shortfall; (iv) any Tenant has the express right to terminate its Lease as a result of the Casualty affecting such Tenant’s Site, unless irrevocably waived in writing by such Tenant, or (v) any Tenant having the right to permanently or temporarily abate or offset rent under its applicable Lease, and Seller does not agree (in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion) to pay or credit to Buyer an amount sufficient, as determined by Seller and Buyer in the exercise of their commercially reasonable business judgment, to offset such abated or offset rent.

 

Section 3.6.                                Condemnation.  If any condemnation proceedings are instituted, or notice of any condemnation or intent to condemn is given, with respect to all or any portion of the Real Property (a “Condemnation”) prior to Closing, Seller will provide prompt written notice to Buyer of such Condemnation.  If the Condemnation will result in a “material and adverse effect” (as defined below) to a Site, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller within ten (10) Business Days after the date Buyer receives notice of such Condemnation (and, if applicable, the Closing Date shall automatically be extended until the date which is five (5) Business Days following the expiration of such ten-Business Day period).  If Buyer so terminates this Agreement, then Escrow Agent will return the Deposit to Buyer and neither Party will have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for Obligations Surviving Termination.  If Buyer does not so terminate this Agreement, or if a Condemnation will not result in a “material and adverse effect” to the affected Site, Buyer will remain bound to purchase the Property for the full Purchase Price pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, without regard to the occurrence or effect of the Condemnation; provided that at Closing Seller will assign to Buyer Seller’s interest in the award(s) payable to Seller on account of the Condemnation (if any), but net of any costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Seller prior to Closing in connection with the Condemnation.  For purposes of this Section, “material and adverse effect” means (a) a permanent reduction in the rentable square footage of any Improvements resulting from the Condemnation, (b) a permanent reduction in the parking spaces at any Site below the number of parking spaces required by applicable zoning or other requirements, (c) any material loss of access to any Site, (d) if Seller is responsible under the Lease for restoring a Site suffering a Condemnation but (i) the condemnation award proceeds

 

21


 

that would be assigned to Buyer as provided above for such Site are not reasonably sufficient to fund any restoration Buyer would be required to make to return the Real Property of such Site to a lawful operating condition, and (ii) Seller does not agree (in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion) to pay or credit Buyer for the anticipated shortfall; or (e) any Tenant having the express right to terminate its Lease as a result of the Condemnation affecting such Tenant’s Site, unless irrevocably waived in writing by such Tenant.

 

Section 3.7.                                Excluded Sites.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Site shall be affected by a Casualty or Condemnation that would give Buyer the right to terminate this Agreement, then Buyer shall have the right to designate the Site affected by such Casualty or Condemnation as an “Excluded Site” in a written notice delivered to Seller within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of written notice from Seller of the applicable Casualty or Condemnation. If Buyer designates any Site as an Excluded Site in accordance with this Section 3.7, then (a) this Agreement will terminate with respect to such Excluded Site only and such Excluded Site shall not be considered part of the Property for purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any Obligations Surviving Termination); (b) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to such Excluded Site on Schedule A for such Excluded Site; (c) neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any liability hereunder with respect to such Excluded Property, except for any Obligations Surviving Termination; and (d) the parties shall proceed with the Closing on all of the Property (excluding such Excluded Site) under all of the other terms and provisions of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.7 to the contrary, in no event shall Buyer have the right to designate more than two (2) Sites as Excluded Sites.

 

ARTICLE 4
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

Section 4.1.                                Representations and Warranties of Seller.  Subject to the information disclosed by the Diligence Materials, Title Commitment and Survey that were delivered or made available to Buyer not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period, Seller makes the following representations and warranties to Buyer as of the Effective Date and (except as may be disclosed in writing to Buyer after the Effective Date) again as of the Closing Date (as if first made on and as of the Closing Date, except as may have been otherwise so disclosed in writing to Buyer):

(j)                                    Schedule A-1 for the Ruskin Site sets forth a complete list of all Loan Documents.  The copies of the Loan Documents delivered to Buyer are complete and accurate copies of such Loan Documents.  Seller has not received written notice of any existing default or breach by Seller under the Loan Documents, and to Seller’s knowledge there is no existing or uncured default or breach, and no facts or circumstances currently exist that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default or breach, by Seller under the Loan Documents.

 

(k)                                 The copies of the Leases delivered to Buyer are complete and accurate copies of the Leases in Seller’s files that Seller relies upon in connection with its ownership and operation of each Site.  To Seller’s knowledge, such Leases constitute the entire agreement between Seller and the applicable Tenant regarding such Tenant’s lease and occupancy of such Site.  Seller has not given or received written notice of any existing default or breach under any Lease, which breach or default has not been cured.  Seller has not given or received written notice of, and, except as set forth in Schedule A, Seller has no knowledge of, any facts or circumstances currently existing that, with the passage of time, could reasonably be expected to constitute a material default or breach under any Lease.  Schedule A for each respective Site, identifies any security deposit, letter of credit or other form of security currently held by Seller under the Lease with respect to such Site.

 

(l)                                     Schedule A for each respective Site sets forth a complete list of all Related Agreements applicable to such Site.  The Joplin TIF Agreements and the Saint Louis TIF Agreements include all of the agreements in effect as of the Effective Date with respect to the subject matter thereof.  The copies of the Related Agreements delivered to Buyer are complete and accurate copies of the Related Agreements in Seller’s files that Seller relies upon in

 

23


 

connection with its ownership and operation of each Site.  Seller has not received nor given written notice of any existing default or breach under the Related Agreements which breach or default has not been cured.  To Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule A for each respective Site, no facts or circumstances currently exist that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, could reasonably be expected to constitute a material default or breach under any Related Agreement.

 

(m)                             The copies of the Contacts delivered to Buyer are complete and accurate copies of the Contracts in Seller’s files.  Seller has not received nor given written notice of any existing default or breach under any Contract which breach or default has not been cured.

 

(n)                                 To Seller’s knowledge, except for the Contracts, the Leases, the Loan Documents (as to the Ruskin Site only), the Related Agreements and the Permitted Exceptions, from and after the Closing, neither Buyer nor the Property will be bound by any other material agreements or contracts entered into by Seller with respect to the Property or any portion thereof.

 

(o)                                 Seller has not received any written notice alleging any violation by it or any Site of any applicable Legal Requirements or Permitted Exceptions which violation has not been cured.

 

For purposes of this Agreement and any Closing Documents, whenever the phrases “to the best of Seller’s knowledge”, or the “knowledge” of Seller or words of similar import are used, they shall be deemed to refer to the current, actual, conscious knowledge only, and not any implied, imputed or constructive knowledge, without any independent investigation having been made or any implied duty to investigate, of the representative(s) of Seller with the responsibility for directly overseeing the management and operations of the Property.  Such individual(s) will have no personal liability under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Property.

 

Section 4.2.                                Representations and Warranties of Buyer.  Buyer makes the following representations and warranties to Seller as of the Effective Date and (except as may be disclosed in writing to Seller after the Effective Date) again as of the Closing Date:

 

(a)                                 Buyer is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of formation and, to the extent legally required to do so, is or will prior to Closing be duly qualified to transact business in each State in which the Property is located; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and all Closing Documents to be executed and delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement are within the organizational power of Buyer and have been or will prior to Closing be duly authorized.

 

(b)                                 Buyer has not filed any voluntary petition in bankruptcy or suffered the filing of any involuntary petition by Buyer’s creditors or suffered the appointment of a receiver to take possession of any of Buyer’s property.  As of the Closing Date, Buyer will have sufficient funds to pay the Purchase Price and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to Buyer’s knowledge, threatened against Buyer that Buyer reasonably expects would affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents to be executed and delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

 

24


 

(d)                                 This Agreement constitutes, and each Closing Document executed by Buyer will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws and equitable principles affecting rights of creditors generally.

 

Section 4.3.                                OFAC and Source of Funds.  Buyer and Seller each represent and warrant to the other, and to Escrow Agent, that (a) such Party is not a Restricted Person; (b) such Party is not knowingly acting, directly or indirectly, for, on behalf of, or in conjunction with any Restricted Person and is not engaging in, instigating or facilitating this transaction for or on behalf of any Restricted Person; (c) such Party is not engaging in this transaction, directly or indirectly, in violation of any laws relating to drug trafficking, money laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering; and (d) none of the funds of such Party to be utilized in this transaction have been or will be derived from any unlawful activity with the result that such Party, its funds, or the Property is subject to potential seizure, forfeiture or other such remedy or that this Agreement or the transactions hereunder are or will be in violation of any applicable laws or regulations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Seller nor Buyer is making any representation or warranty regarding any of its public shareholders under this Section 4.3.  The provisions of this Section 4.3 will survive the Closing (in this sole instance, without regard to the limitations contained in Section 4.5 but subject to any applicable statute of limitations) or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 4.4.                                Inaccuracy Discovered Prior to Closing.  Neither Party may rely on any representation or warranty made by one Party (the “Maker”) to the other Party (the “Recipient”) in this Agreement or in any Closing Document to the extent that the Recipient has, receives or obtains actual knowledge prior to Closing that such representation or warranty was, is or has become inaccurate or incorrect in any respect (an “Inaccuracy”).  If either Party believes or determines prior to or at Closing that an Inaccuracy exists (regardless of which Party made the underlying representation or warranty), then such Party will promptly give written notice thereof to the other Party.  The Maker will have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such Inaccuracy within five (5) Business Days of the Maker’s delivery or receipt of such notice (and if reasonably required, the Closing will be extended by no more than thirty (30) days to allow for such cure).  Regardless of whether such cure is attempted or effected by the Maker, the Recipient’s sole remedy with respect to an Inaccuracy that is actually known by the Recipient prior to Closing is to terminate this Agreement by giving the Maker written notice of the Recipient’s termination of this Agreement within five (5) Business Days following the end of the Maker’s five (5) Business Day cure period (but in any event, prior to the Closing); provided, however, that if both (a) the anticipated losses to the Recipient as a direct result of the Inaccuracy, as determined by Seller and Buyer in the exercise of their commercially reasonable business judgment (the “Anticipated Loss Amount”) is less than the greater of (i) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00), or (ii) if the Inaccuracy primarily relates to a specific Site, two and one half percent (2.50%) of the allocated portion of the Purchase Price applicable to such Site, and (b) the Maker elects (in the Maker’s sole and absolute discretion) to pay or credit to the Recipient an amount equivalent to such Anticipated Loss Amount, then the sole and exclusive remedy of the Recipient for such Inaccuracy shall be to receive such Anticipated Loss Amount from the Maker at Closing.  If the Recipient terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.4, (1) Escrow Agent will return the Deposit to Buyer, regardless of whether Buyer is the Maker or the Recipient, and (2) neither Party will have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for Obligations Surviving Termination.  If the Recipient does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.4, the Recipient shall be conclusively deemed to have elected to waive the Inaccuracy and all effects or consequences thereof, and the Maker will have no liability whatsoever with respect to the Inaccuracy.  In

 

25


 

furtherance of the foregoing, each Party agrees that the Maker will have no liability with respect to any representation or warranty to the extent that, prior to the Closing, the Recipient has, receives or obtains actual knowledge of an Inaccuracy (from whatever source, including without limitation from disclosure by or on behalf of the Maker) and the Recipient nevertheless proceeds to close the purchase or sale of the Property under this Agreement without availing itself of the termination remedy provided under this Section 4.4.  The provisions of this Section will survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 4.5.                                Survival of Representations and Warranties.  Subject in all respects to Section 4.4, the representations and warranties made by each Party in this Agreement or any Closing Document will survive the Closing only until the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”).  Any Claims for, relating to or arising from an Inaccuracy are limited in all respects to any actual damages the Recipient sustains from the Recipient’s reasonable reliance upon the representation or warranty prior to obtaining actual knowledge of the Inaccuracy.  In no event will either Party be liable to the other Party for any consequential, special or punitive damages suffered by a Party as a result of any Inaccuracy.  If an Inaccuracy is discovered after Closing and the Recipient desires to pursue any remedy against the Maker with respect to such Inaccuracy, then the Recipient must give the Maker a Claim Notice detailing the Inaccuracy upon or prior to the Expiration Date.  Any Claims that a Recipient might otherwise have or have had against a Maker with respect to any Inaccuracy, whether such Inaccuracy or such Claims are known or unknown, will not be valid or effective if a Claim Notice detailing the Inaccuracy has not been given to the Maker on or prior to the Expiration Date; provided, however, that if and to the extent that such delivery would violate applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 362 of Title 11 of the United Stated Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), the Expiration Date as to any Claim so barred shall be deemed tolled and will not expire until thirty (30) days after a Claim Notice for such Claim may lawfully be delivered.  For the avoidance of doubt, except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, following the Expiration Date, each Party shall be deemed to be fully discharged and released (without the need for separate releases or other documentation) from any liability or obligation to the other Party (and to its other Buyer Parties or Seller Parties, as applicable) with respect to any Inaccuracy, known or unknown, not detailed in a Claim Notice delivered to the other Party on or prior to the Expiration Date.  Further, any Claims that either Party may have at any time against the other Party for any matter with respect to which a Claim Notice has been given to the other Party on or prior to the Expiration Date may be the subject of subsequent litigation brought by the claiming Party, but only if (a) such litigation is commenced against and duly served upon the other Party on or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days following the Expiration Date (the “Claim Bar Date”) provided, however, that if and to the extent that commencement or service of litigation would violate applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Claim Bar Date as to any Claim so impacted shall be deemed tolled and will not expire until thirty (30) days after commencement or service of litigation may lawfully occur or Buyer is otherwise able to pursue such Claim pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.  For the avoidance of doubt, following the Claim Bar Date, each Party shall be deemed to be fully discharged and released (without the need for separate releases or other documentation) from any liability or obligation to the other Party (and to its other Buyer Parties or Seller Parties, as applicable) with respect to any Claim, known or unknown, except for any Claim for which both (a) a Claim Notice was given by the claiming Party to the other Party on or prior to the Expiration Date, and (b) litigation upon the Claim has been commenced by the claiming Party and duly served upon the other Party prior to or upon the Claim Bar Date.  This Section (and Sections 4.4 and 6.4) collectively provide the sole remedies of each Party with respect to any Inaccuracy and each Party expressly waives any other rights or remedies such Party might otherwise have at law or in equity with respect to any

 

26


 

Inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of the other Party.  The provisions of this Section will survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 5
CLOSING, DELIVERIES AND PRORATIONS

 

Section 5.1.                                Closing.

 

(a)                                 The Closing and the delivery of all items to be delivered by the Parties at the Closing will be performed through an escrow closing conducted by Escrow Agent on the Closing Date.  Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this Agreement, the Closing Date may not be accelerated or extended without the prior written approval of both Seller and Buyer.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Loan Assumption Approval has not been obtained in accordance with Section 5.1(a) on or before the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, then either Seller or Buyer may extend the Closing with respect to the Ruskin Site only (the “Ruskin Closing”) to the date which is five (5) Business Days following the Parties’ receipt of the Loan Assumption Approval (the “Ruskin Closing Date”) by giving written notice thereof to the other Party on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.  If either Seller or Buyer elects to extend the Ruskin Closing to the Ruskin Closing Date as aforesaid, then (i) the Closing with respect to the balance of the Property (other than the Ruskin Site) shall occur on the Closing Date, (ii) the Purchase Price to be paid by Seller to Buyer at the Closing shall be reduced by the amount of the Allocated Purchase Price for the Ruskin Site on Schedule A-1 (the “Ruskin Allocated Purchase Price”), (iii) the Escrow Agent shall retain and continue to hold the amount of Six Million One Hundred Eighty Thousand and 00/100ths Dollars ($6,180,000.00) (together with interest earned thereon, the “Ruskin Allocated Deposit”) from the Deposit to be credited to Purchaser and paid to Seller at the Ruskin Closing.  Following the Closing, (X) the Ruskin Site shall continue to be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (Y) all references in this Agreement to the Closing, the Closing Date, the Deposit and the Purchase Price shall mean, with respect to the Ruskin Site, the Ruskin Closing, the Ruskin Closing Date, the Ruskin Allocated Deposit and the Ruskin Allocated Purchase Price, respectively.  For the avoidance of doubt, if Buyer elects to extend the Ruskin Closing to the Ruskin Closing Date in accordance with this Section 5.1(b), then, following the Closing, neither Party shall have any right to terminate or otherwise rescind this Agreement or unwind the Closing with respect to the balance of the Property for which the Closing has occurred.

 

Section 5.2.                                Estoppel Certificates.

 

(a)                                 Within ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Date, Seller will request from each Tenant, and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and provide to Buyer at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, an estoppel certificate (each, a “Tenant Estoppel Certificate” and collectively, the “Tenant Estoppel Certificates”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G or otherwise in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if a form of estoppel certificate is attached to or otherwise specified by a Lease or if it is the policy of a Tenant that a particular form of estoppel certificate be used, and such form is consistent with the requirements of such Tenant’s Lease, that form shall be deemed acceptable to Buyer for that Lease and (ii) a Tenant Estoppel Certificate shall not be considered to be reasonably satisfactory to Buyer if it contains any information or statements that are both materially inconsistent with the information set forth in the Leases and materially adverse to Buyer or if it alleges any monetary default, any material

 

27


 

non-monetary default or any facts or circumstances which, with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time, could reasonably be expected to result in a monetary default or a material non-monetary default under the applicable Lease (unless such facts or circumstances alleging any monetary default or non-monetary default by Seller are remedied by Seller to the applicable Tenant’s satisfaction prior to Closing); provided, however, Buyer shall have no basis to reject a Tenant Estoppel Certificate based upon any information or statement therein to the extent the facts underlying such information or statement were known to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, including, without limitation, any information contained in the Seller Deliveries or in the exceptions to Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Schedules A-1 through A-18, inclusive.  If Buyer desires that the Tenant Estoppel Certificates expressly be addressed to an intended assignee of Buyer and/or any specific lender of Buyer, Buyer will notify Seller in writing of the names of such entities not later than five (5) Business Days following the Effective Date; otherwise, the Tenant Estoppel Certificates shall be addressed to Buyer, its successors and assigns, and any lender of Buyer; provided, however, the Tenant Estoppel Certificate for the Ruskin Site shall be addressed to the Lender.  A Tenant Estoppel Certificate shall be deemed approved in the form received from the Tenant if Buyer has not given written objection thereto to Seller prior to the earlier of (i) three (3) Business Days after receipt by Buyer, or (ii) the Closing Date.  If a Tenant Estoppel Certificate has not been obtained from each Tenant and provided to Buyer at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer may extend the Closing Date for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate (by written notice of extension delivered to the other not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the then-scheduled Closing Date) for the purpose of obtaining the Tenant Estoppel Certificates.  If the Closing Date is not so extended or if the Closing Date is so extended but all the Tenant Estoppel Certificates have not been obtained and provided to Buyer at least three (3) Business Days prior to the extended Closing Date, Buyer will have the option, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to either (X) terminate this Agreement by written notice of termination delivered to Seller prior to or upon such extended Closing Date, or (Y) proceed to Closing as scheduled without receiving the missing Tenant Estoppel Certificate(s).

 

(b)                                 Seller will request from each fee owner of a TIF Site, and use commercially reasonably efforts to obtain and provide to Buyer at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, an estoppel certificate from the fee owner of each TIF Site (each, a “TIF Estoppel Certificate” and collectively, the “TIF Estoppel Certificates”) in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.  Any inability of Seller to obtain a TIF Estoppel Certificate from any fee owner of a TIF Site shall not be deemed a breach or default by Seller under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any TIF Estoppel Certificate contains any information or statements that are both materially inconsistent with the information set forth in the corresponding Related Agreements and materially adverse to Buyer, or if it alleges any monetary default of Seller, any material non-monetary default of Seller or any facts or circumstances which, with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time, could reasonably be expected to result in a monetary default of Seller or a material non-monetary default of Seller, Buyer will have the option, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to either (X) terminate this Agreement by written notice of termination delivered to Seller prior to or upon such extended Closing Date, or (Y) proceed to Closing as scheduled without any adjustment to the Purchase Price); provided, however, Buyer shall have no basis to terminate this Agreement based upon any information or statement in a TIF Estoppel Certificate to the extent the facts underlying such information or statement were known to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, including, without limitation, any information contained in the Seller Deliveries or in the exceptions to Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Schedules A-1 through A-18, inclusive.

 

28


 

(c)                                  Buyer’s obligation to proceed with Closing is conditioned upon all Tenant Estoppel Certificates being dated not more than sixty (60) days prior to the originally scheduled Closing Date (i.e., the date first set forth Closing hereunder prior to any extension of the Closing Date for any reason).  If any Tenant Estoppel Certificate is dated more than sixty (60) days prior to the originally scheduled Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain either (i) a new Tenant Estoppel Certificate from the applicable tenant in the same form and substance as previously approved (or deemed approved) by Buyer, or (ii) a bring down letter from the applicable Tenant confirming that all statements set forth in its corresponding Tenant Estoppel Certificate remain true and correct.  Seller may extend the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days (by written notice of extension delivered to Buyer and Escrow Agent) for the purpose of obtaining current Tenant Estoppel Certificates or bring down letters, as applicable.  If Seller does not so extend the Closing Date or if Seller so extends the Closing Date but all the current Tenant Estoppel Certificates or bring down letters have not been obtained and delivered to Buyer at least three (3) Business Days prior to extended Closing Date, Buyer will have the option, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to either (1) terminate this Agreement by written notice of termination delivered to Seller and Escrow Agent prior to or upon such extended Closing Date, or (2) proceed to Closing as scheduled without receiving the missing updated estoppel certificates or bring down letters.

 

(d)                                 Without limiting any of the other terms or provisions of this Agreement, Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property is conditioned upon none of the Tenants being the subject of a voluntary bankruptcy case, filing or petition.  If the foregoing condition is not satisfied as of the Closing Date, then Buyer will have the option, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice of termination delivered to Seller and Escrow Agent prior to or upon such Closing Date, or (ii) proceed to Closing as scheduled.

 

(e)                                  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 5.2, Escrow Agent will return the Deposit to Buyer and thereafter the Parties will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for Obligations Surviving Termination.  Buyer’s receipt of the Tenant Estoppel Certificates (or updated estoppel certificates or bring down letters) as provided above is a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close escrow under this Agreement, but any inability of Seller to obtain a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from any Tenant (or updated estoppel certificates or bring down letters) shall not be deemed a breach or default by Seller under this Agreement.

 

Section 5.3.                                Closing Documents.

 

(a)                                 On or before the Closing Date, Seller will deposit the following into escrow with respect to each Site (as applicable), with all documents having been duly executed and, if to be recorded, acknowledged by Seller:

 

(i)                                     a Special Warranty Deed (or the state-specific counterpart thereof) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Deed”);

 

(ii)                                  a Bill of Sale in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Bill of Sale”);

 

(iii)                               an Assignment and Assumption of Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Assignment of Lease”);

 

(iv)                              an Assignment of Contracts and Intangible Property in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “General Assignment”);

 

29


 

(v)                                 such documents as may reasonably be required to effectuate the transfer, assignment and assumption, as appropriate, of the Related Agreements between Seller and Buyer, all in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer (the “Related Agreement Assignments”);

 

(vi)                              intentionally omitted;

 

(vii)                           all documents required of Seller by the Loan Assumption Approval to effectuate the assignment to, and assumption by, Buyer of the Loan;

 

(viii)                        the closing settlement statement showing all prorations, adjustments and other closing costs provided for under this Agreement, including, without limitation, those contained in Section 5.4 and Section 5.6 of this Agreement (the “Settlement Statement”);

 

(ix)                              such disclosures and reports (including tax reporting and withholding certificates) as are required of Seller by applicable state and local law in connection with the conveyance of the Property;

 

(x)                                 a notice to be given to the Tenant stating that the Site has been sold to Buyer and that, after the Closing, all rents should be paid to or as directed by Buyer;

 

(xi)                              a confirmation pursuant to Section 1445(b)(2) of the Code that Seller is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the Code;

 

(xii)                           Seller’s “owner’s affidavit” or comparable assurance to Title Company regarding work performed, parties in possession, so-called “gap” exceptions against acts of Seller only, and other matters as may customarily be required by Title Company, in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller and Title Company; and

 

(xiii)                        such other documents as may be specifically required under this Agreement, and such other customary documents as are necessary and appropriate to effect the Closing and are reasonably acceptable to Seller.

 

(b)                                 On or before the Closing Date, Buyer will deposit the following into escrow with respect to each Site (as applicable), with all documents having been duly executed and, if to be recorded, acknowledged by Buyer:

 

(i)                                     the Purchase Price, less the amount of the Deposit and the principal amount of the Loan being assumed by Buyer, and as adjusted and reflected in the Settlement Statement;

 

(ii)                                  counterparts of the Bill of Sale, the Assignment of Lease, the General Assignment, the Related Agreement Assignments and the Settlement Statement;

 

(iii)                               intentionally omitted;

 

(iv)                              all documents required of Buyer by the Loan Assumption Approval to effectuate the assignment to, and assumption by, Buyer of the Loan;

 

30


 

(v)                                 such disclosures and reports (including tax reporting and withholding certificates) as are required of Buyer by applicable state and local law in connection with the conveyance of the Property; and

 

(vi)                              such other documents as may be specifically required under this Agreement, and such other customary documents as are necessary and appropriate to effect the Closing and are reasonably acceptable to Buyer.

 

(c)                                  The Parties agree that the form documents attached as exhibits to this Agreement are acceptable to accomplish the conveyances contemplated by this Agreement.  The consummation of the Closing shall be deemed to be a full performance and discharge of every obligation on the part of each Party to be performed under this Agreement, other than those that are specifically stated in this Agreement to survive the Closing.

 

Section 5.4.                                Prorations.  Items of income and expense relating to the Property will be adjusted between Seller and Buyer for each Site, on a Site-by-Site basis, as provided below.  Closing Date prorations will be made as of 12:01 A.M. local time at each Site on the day of Closing as if Buyer was the owner of the Property for the entire Closing Date.

 

(a)                                 Base rents, and any estimate or impound payments for common area maintenance charges, insurance, Real Estate Taxes or other expenses related to the Property paid by the Tenant to Seller under the Lease (collectively, “Rents”) for the month of Closing will be prorated as of the Closing Date to the extent such Rents have been collected by Seller.

 

(b)                                 Real Estate Taxes due and payable in the calendar year of Closing will be prorated as of the Closing Date except to the extent directly payable or reimbursed in not more than semi-annual lump sums by a Tenant under its Lease.  Due adjustment will be made for any unapplied impound amounts for Real Estate Taxes that may be credited at Closing by Seller to Buyer.  If the Closing occurs before the tax rate for a Site is fixed for the then current year, the apportionment of Real Estate Taxes for that Site will be made on the basis of the tax rate for the immediately preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation of that Site, subject to reconciliation in accordance with Section 5.4(j) once the actual Real Estate Taxes for such period are known.

 

(c)                                  Interest payable under the Loan will be prorated as of the Closing Date, with Buyer being responsible for interest accruing on and after the Closing Date and Seller being responsible for interest accruing prior to the Closing Date.  Seller will receive a credit from Buyer at Closing for the amount of any impounds, escrows, reserves, or similar funds held by Lender in connection with the Loan which are not refunded or to be refunded to Seller in connection with Buyer’s assumption of the Loan, and Seller will assign to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such transferred impounds, escrows, reserves, or similar funds.

 

(d)                                 All other items of income and expense for each Site which are customarily prorated between sellers and buyers of similar properties, including but not limited to any utility charges, maintenance charges, and charges under any Contracts (to the extent assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement), Related Agreements, or Permitted Exceptions (but excluding any such items paid or payable directly by any Tenant under its Lease to parties other than Seller), will be prorated as of the Closing Date.  For any utilities that are in the name of Seller, Buyer and Seller will cooperate to arrange for final utility readings as close to the Closing Date as possible and the issuance of a final bill to Seller, with Buyer being designated the billing

 

31


 

party in lieu of Seller from and after the Closing Date.  Seller will be entitled to receive and retain any deposits of Seller held by utility companies with respect to the Property.

 

(e)                                  If any Site or aspects thereof are operated by Seller such that Seller is collecting estimated or impound amounts for Real Estate Taxes, operating expenses, or other costs and expenses related to the ownership, use or operation of such Site (“Site Expense”), the Parties will pursue a reconciliation of such Site Expense as provided below in this Section.  As between Seller and Buyer, Seller will compute any Site Expense reconciliations that may be necessary under the Lease to determine whether an Underpayment or Overpayment (both as defined below) exists with respect to Seller’s period of ownership in the year of Closing for the respective Site.  To the extent available at Closing, Seller will provide such reconciliations (and reasonable supporting information) to Buyer. If Seller’s reconciliations determine that any amounts were “overpaid” by the Tenant of the Site during Seller’s period of ownership in the year of Closing (an “Overpayment”), Seller will credit Buyer the net aggregate amount (if any) of such Overpayment at Closing.  If Seller’s reconciliations determine that any amounts were “underpaid” by the Tenant of the Site during Seller’s period of ownership in the year of Closing (an “Underpayment”), then Buyer shall remit the amount of such Underpayment to Seller promptly following Buyer’s receipt of such Underpayment from the applicable Tenant.  If not available at Closing, Seller will provide such reconciliations (and reasonable supporting information) to Buyer for such Site within ninety (90) days after Closing; and unless Buyer reasonably objects thereto within (30) days of their receipt, thereupon Seller will pay to Buyer the amount of any Overpayment set forth therein, or Buyer will pay to Seller the amount of any Underpayment set forth therein promptly following Buyer’s collection of the same from Tenant, in each case as may be indicated by such reconciliations for such Site (net of any amount that may have been estimated or determined by Seller and Buyer and paid or credited for such purpose at Closing).  For clarity, “overpaid” as used above means the Tenant made Site Expense payments to Seller during Seller’s period of ownership of the subject Site in the year of Closing (“Collections”) in excess of the actual amounts properly accrued or expended by Seller for such Site Expense during such period, and “underpaid” means that the Site Expense amount for the Tenant during such period exceeded the Collections amount for the Tenant of such Site during such period.  Buyer will be responsible for preparing and providing any final full-year Site Expense reconciliations required to be provided to any Tenant pursuant to its Lease and for settling any adjustments required with such Tenant as a result of such reconciliations (provided, that Buyer may utilize and rely upon the reconciliations and supporting information received from Seller for such purpose).

 

(f)                                   Unless otherwise directed by a Tenant in writing, all Rents collected from Tenants following the Closing will be applied first to Rents accrued for the month in which the Closing Date occurred, then to delinquent Rents accrued post-Closing, and finally to delinquent rents accrued pre-Closing, in each case in inverse order of maturity.  From and after the Closing, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any delinquent Rents owed to Seller and, provided that Buyer is discharging such efforts in good faith, Seller will not take any action to collect any delinquent Rents owed to it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have no obligation to institute any litigation against or evict any Tenant in connection with such efforts.

 

(g)                                  If, after Closing, (i) Seller receives any Rents or other amounts from any Tenant, Seller will hold such amounts in trust and promptly remit the same to Buyer for application in accordance with this Section 5.4 or (ii) Buyer receives any Rents that properly belong to Seller in accordance with this Section 5.4, Buyer will hold such amounts in trust and promptly remit the same to Seller.

 

32


 

(h)                                 If a net amount is owed by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.4, such amount shall be credited against the Purchase Price at the Closing.  If a net amount is owed by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Section 5.4, such amount shall be paid together with the Purchase Price at the Closing.

 

(i)                                     Seller will supply all information reasonably required to calculate the prorations contemplated by this Section to Escrow Agent and Buyer (including, without limitation, a year-to-date general ledger, excluding balance sheet accounts, a tenant receivables ledger and such other reasonable and customary back-up information as may be reasonably requested by Buyer and in Seller’s possession or control) for each Site not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.  The Parties will cooperate in the review and finalization of such prorations for Closing.  The Purchase Price, prorations and any other credits and adjustments will be reflected on the Settlement Statement.

 

(j)                                    If, following the Closing, either Party discovers any errors in or omissions from the prorations as set forth on the Settlement Statement, the Parties shall make such adjustments and reconciliations as are necessary to correct such errors or omissions; provided, however, the Party seeking such adjustment must send written notice thereof to the other Party on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

 

(k)                                 The provisions of this Section 5.4 that by their terms are to occur after Closing will survive the Closing.

 

Section 5.5.                                Security Deposits.  Seller will pay to Buyer, as a credit against the Purchase Price, the amount of any cash security deposit being held by Seller pursuant to any Lease and not yet refunded to the related Tenant or applied pursuant to such Lease.  With respect to any security deposit that is held in the form of a letter of credit, Seller shall deliver to Buyer at the Closing the original letter of credit together with such original transfer and assignment documentation as may be necessary for Buyer to thereafter effect the transfer of the letter of credit to Buyer and Seller shall provide Buyer with a credit at the Closing for any fees or expenses charged by the issuing banks with respect to such transfers (unless such fees and expenses are to be paid by a Tenant pursuant to its applicable Lease, in which case Buyer shall collect such amount from such Tenant).  Furthermore, upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall administer any such letters of credit on behalf of Buyer until such time as the letters of credit are transferred to Buyer, and Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Seller in administrating any such letters of credit at Buyer’s request.  This Section 5.5 will survive the Closing.

 

Section 5.6.                                Closing Costs.  At Closing, Seller will pay (a) the costs of releasing any financing liens or other encumbrances that are required to be released by Seller and of recording such releases; (b) one-half of the reasonable fees and costs due Escrow Agent for its escrow services under this Agreement; (c) the title insurance costs and charges for standard coverage for the Title Policies for the Sites in each applicable state to the extent Seller is responsible for the same as set forth on Schedule 5.6; (d) any state, county or local documentary or real estate transfer taxes for the Sites in each applicable state to the extent Seller is responsible for the same as set forth on Schedule 5.6; and (e) all other costs this Agreement expressly requires Seller to pay.  At Closing, Buyer will pay (i) the title insurance costs and charges for standard coverage for the Title Policies for the Sites in each applicable state to the extent Buyer is responsible for the same as set forth on Schedule 5.6; (ii) all title insurance costs and charges for extended coverage, title endorsements, lender policies or other coverage requested by Buyer; (iii) the cost of any new or updated Survey obtained by Buyer;

 

33


 

(iv) the cost of recording the Deeds and any other Closing Documents; (v) any state, county or local documentary or real estate transfer taxes for the Sites in each applicable state to the extent Buyer is responsible for the same as set forth on Schedule 5.6; (vi) one-half of the reasonable fees and costs due Escrow Agent for its escrow services under this Agreement; (vii) all unpaid Loan Assumption Costs; (viii) any Loan Assumption Fee (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.5(c)); and (ix) all other costs this Agreement expressly requires Buyer to pay.  Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, Seller and Buyer will each be solely responsible for and bear all of their own respective transaction costs and expenses, including without limitation all expenses of legal counsel, accountants, and other advisors and consultants incurred at any time in connection with pursuing or consummating the transaction contemplated herein.  Any other closing costs and charges not specifically designated as the responsibility of either Party in this Agreement will be paid by the Parties with respect to each Site according to the usual and customary allocation/apportionment of such costs by Escrow Agent in the jurisdiction in which such Site is located.  The provisions of this Section 5.6 will survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 5.7.                                Brokers.  The Parties acknowledge the involvement in this transaction of the “Broker” named as such in the Summary of Terms (“Broker”), whose commission if Closing occurs will be the responsibility of Seller pursuant to a separate agreement between Broker and Seller.  Except for the Broker, Buyer and Seller each state and confirm to the other that no broker, finder or comparable Person was utilized by it in arranging or bringing about this transaction and that there are no claims or rights for brokerage fees, commissions, finders’ fees, or comparable fees or compensation due to any other Person in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based on any dealings with it.  Seller will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from and against any claim for a commission, fee or other compensation due to Broker.  If any other Person asserts a claim for a commission, fee or other compensation based upon any contact, dealings or communication with Buyer or Seller, then the Party through whom such Person makes its claim will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party from such claim and any and all costs, damages, liabilities or expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the other Party in connection with such claim.  This Section 5.7 is intended only to set forth the agreements of the Parties and in no event shall the Broker be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary of, or have any rights or obligations under, this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 5.7 will survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 5.8.                                Withholding Amounts.  Any amounts that Buyer is required or responsible for withholding under applicable Legal Requirements shall be escrowed with Escrow Agent at Closing pursuant to an escrow agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, Seller and Escrow Agent.  This Section 5.8 will survive the Closing.

 

Section 5.9.                                Bulk Sales Laws.  Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with one another to comply with any so-called “bulk sales laws” or similar laws (if any) applicable to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.  Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from and against any taxes or penalties imposed upon Buyer as a result of Seller’s failure to comply with any so-called “bulk sales laws” or similar laws which are applicable to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.  This Section 5.9 will survive the Closing.

 

Section 5.10.                         Allocation of Purchase Price.  Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that (a) the allocations of the Purchase Price for each Site are provided solely for the purposes of Sections 3.7 and 5.1 and for determining the transfer taxes and title insurance costs payable

 

34


 

by the parties at the Closing and (b) that there is little or no Personal Property included within the Property and no portion of the Purchase Price will be allocated or attributable to Personal Property.

 

ARTICLE 6
DEFAULT; REMEDIES

 

Section 6.1.                                Default by Seller.  If Seller fails to perform any obligation of Seller under this Agreement prior to or at Closing and does not cure such failure (a) within one (1) Business Day after receipt of written notice from Buyer asserting such failure, if Seller fails to timely deliver Closing Documents or authorize Closing if and when required of Seller for Closing to occur under this Agreement, or (b) within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Buyer asserting such failure, if Seller fails to perform any other obligation of Seller (any such failure, if not cured within such period, being a “Seller Default”), then Buyer will elect by giving written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent after the occurrence of such Seller Default, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against Seller, either to (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer shall receive a return of the Deposit, Seller will reimburse Buyer for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement (which obligation shall survive such termination), provided, however, in no event shall such reimbursement exceed the Cost Reimbursement Cap, and, except for Obligations Surviving Termination, neither of the Parties will have any further liability or obligation under this Agreement, or (ii) to bring a suit for specific performance against Seller to compel Seller to convey the Property to Buyer as required under this Agreement; provided, however, in connection with any suit for specific performance, Buyer must (x) maintain the full Deposit in escrow until and during the pendency of such action, and (y) demonstrate to the court’s reasonable satisfaction that Buyer had the ability to fund on the Closing Date (and, upon any subsequent award of specific performance of such conveyance, will have the ability to fund) the balance of the Purchase Price. Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement (as provided in Subsection 6.1(i) above) if Buyer does not deliver to Seller written notice of Buyer’s intent to file a cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before sixty (60) days after such Seller Default, or having timely given Seller such notice, fails to file and serve Seller with a lawsuit asserting such cause of action within sixty (60) days after such notice.

 

Section 6.2.                                Default by Buyer.  If Buyer fails to perform any obligation of Buyer under this Agreement prior to or at Closing and does not cure such failure (a) within one (1) Business Day after receipt of written notice from Seller asserting such failure, if Buyer (i) fails to timely pay or deposit any amount of money required to be paid or deposited by Buyer under this Agreement, or (ii) fails to timely deliver Closing Documents or authorize Closing if and when required of Buyer for Closing to occur under this Agreement, or (b) within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Seller asserting any such failure, if Buyer fails to perform any other obligation of Buyer (any such failure, if not cured within such period, being a “Buyer Default”), then Seller will be entitled, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy against Buyer, at law and/or in equity, to terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit as Seller’s agreed and total liquidated damages by giving written notice of termination to Buyer and Escrow Agent after the occurrence of such Buyer Default.  Seller shall be responsible for allocating the Deposit among each Selling Entity.  The Parties have agreed that Seller’s actual damages in the event of a Buyer Default would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine.  The Parties have therefore agreed that, considering all the facts and circumstances existing as of the Effective Date, the amount of the Deposit is a reasonable estimate of the damages that Seller would incur in the event of a Buyer Default.  Each Party specifically confirms the accuracy of the statements

 

35


 

made above and the fact that each Party was represented by counsel who explained, at the time this Agreement was made, the consequences of this liquidated damages provision.

 

Section 6.3.                                Limitations on Liability.

 

(a)                                 Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 above provide each Party’s sole remedies for any failure by the other Party to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement prior to or at Closing, but will not limit any rights or remedies that either Party may have for a breach or default by the other Party after Closing with respect to those provisions of this Agreement, or those provisions of the Closing Documents, that are expressly stated to survive Closing.  However, in no event will either Party be liable to the other Party for any consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages suffered by a Party as a result of any failure, breach or default, either before or after Closing, by the other Party under this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents, and each Party expressly waives any right to recover any such consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages caused to such Party by the other Party.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents, (i) Seller will have no liability whatsoever with respect to any Claims suffered or incurred by, asserted or assessed against, or imposed upon Buyer or any Buyer Party under or with respect to this Agreement, the Property, or any Closing Document, except to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Claims exceed One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Threshold Amount”), in which event the entire amount of such Claims shall be recoverable from the first dollar (and not just to the extent they exceed the Threshold Amount); and (ii) in no event will the total aggregate liability of Seller and any Seller Parties for any or all Claims with respect to the entirety of the Property and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Closing Documents exceed Nine Million Three Hundred Seventy-Nine Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($9,379,500.00) (the “Maximum Amount”).  Buyer shall not make any such Claims or deliver any such Claim Notice unless Buyer in good faith believes the Claims would exceed the Threshold Amount, and Buyer shall not seek or receive for such Claims any remedies or awards that individually or in the aggregate would exceed the Maximum Amount.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.3(b) to the contrary, (X) the Threshold Amount and the Maximum Amount shall not apply to any Claims for a breach by any Seller Entity of any of its obligations under Sections 1.6, 5.4, 5.7, 5.9 and 7.5 of this Agreement, and any amounts owing or paid in connection with any such Claims shall not be considered for purposes of determining whether the Threshold Amount or Maximum Amount has been exceeded.

 

Section 6.4.                                Cole REIT Credit Support.  Cole REIT joins this Agreement for the sole purpose of providing credit support for certain obligations of Seller as, and only to the extent, set forth in this Section.  Cole REIT hereby agrees that, if Seller is obligated to make a payment to Buyer for (a) a Claim asserted by Buyer against Seller under Section 4.5 of this Agreement, or (b) a Claim asserted by Buyer against Seller after Closing for a breach by Seller of a covenant, agreement, indemnity or other obligation of Seller that is expressly provided to survive Closing under this Agreement, and, in either case, Seller fails to pay Buyer the amount determined to be Seller’s obligation to Buyer within thirty (30) days after the final determination of Seller’s responsibility for such Claim (either item (a) or (b) above being a “Section 6.4 Claim”), then within ten (10) Business Days of receiving a written demand therefor from Buyer (given to Cole REIT in care of Seller at the notice addresses specified for Seller in this Agreement), Cole REIT shall cause Seller’s obligations under the Agreement to be satisfied by paying or causing Seller to pay, in Cole REIT’s sole discretion, the amount of such Section 6.4 Claim to Buyer, provided

 

36


 

that the aggregate liability of Cole REIT for all Claims under this Section shall not exceed the Maximum Amount, except with respect to Claims excluded therefrom pursuant to the last sentence of Section 6.3(b).  Cole REIT’s obligations under this Section 6.4 shall commence at Closing and expire on the date that is the latest to occur of (i) the Expiration Date, (ii) if any Claim is properly asserted by Buyer against Seller prior to the Expiration Date, the Claim Bar Date, or (iii) if any action is properly filed by Buyer against Seller prior to the Claim Bar Date, final resolution of such action, in each case subject to any extension or tolling of the Expiration Date or the Claim Bar Date as provided for in Section 4.5.  Cole REIT’s obligations under this Section 6.4 shall not be diminished or impaired by the bankruptcy of any Seller Entity or any Seller Entity’s inability to pay any Claim it would otherwise owe to Buyer.  Cole REIT represents that each Seller Entity is an indirect subsidiary of Cole REIT, that Cole REIT expects to realize a material benefit from the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby and that this Section 6.4 constitutes, the legal, valid and binding obligation of Cole REIT, enforceable against Cole REIT in accordance with its terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws and equitable principles affecting rights of creditors generally.

 

Section 6.5.           Survival.  The terms, provisions and limitations of this Article 6 will survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 7
MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 7.1.           Notices.  Any notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be given in writing and delivered to the recipient’s notice address as provided in this Agreement either (a) in person, (b) by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, (c) by a commercial overnight courier that guarantees next Business Day delivery and provides a delivery confirmation to the sender, or (d) by email; provided, that any emailed notice purporting to either terminate this Agreement or provide notice of an asserted failure, breach or default by the other Party must be followed by a hard copy thereof given within one (1) Business Day thereafter that is delivered in accordance with one of the preceding subsections (a)-(c), unless receipt of such hard copy is expressly waived by a reply email from the recipient Party in response to such notice email.  The notice addresses for the Parties are as set forth in the Summary of Terms.  Either Party may specify a different or additional domestic (United States) notice address for itself as such Party may from time to time desire by giving notice thereof in writing as provided above to the other Party.  If sent by email, a notice shall be deemed given upon the date when such email is transmitted by the sending Party to the receiving Party’s notice address, and shall be deemed received on that same date unless such notice is transmitted by the sender after 5:00 p.m. local time in Phoenix, Arizona, in which case receipt by the receiving Party shall be deemed to be upon the next Business Day.  If personally delivered, a notice shall be deemed given and received upon the date of such delivery.  If sent by overnight courier service, a notice shall be deemed given upon the date of deposit with such courier and deemed received upon the date of delivery or refusal of delivery at the notice address.  If sent by certified mail, a notice shall be deemed given and received on the fourth Business Day after deposit into the US Mail.  Notices from or signed by the legal counsel for a Party will be equally effective as a notice from such Party itself.

 

Section 7.2.           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and the Closing Documents, contains all agreements, representations, warranties and covenants made by Buyer and Seller and constitutes the entire understanding between the Parties with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property.  All Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any Closing Documents) are fully

 

37


 

incorporated as a part of this Agreement.  Any prior correspondence, memoranda, letters of intent, or other agreements between the Parties, including without limitation any oral or written statements made by the Seller Parties or the Buyer Parties, are not binding on or enforceable against either Party, and are entirely superseded and replaced by this Agreement.

 

Section 7.3.           Confidentiality.  Seller will be providing certain Confidential Information in connection with Buyer’s evaluation of the transaction and the Property during the term of this Agreement, and Buyer will obtain additional Confidential Information pursuant to Buyer’s due diligence investigations of and regarding the Property and Tenants.  Buyer agrees to keep the Confidential Information strictly confidential and shall not disclose, permit the disclosure of, release, disseminate or transfer, whether written or orally or by any other means, such Confidential Information, in whole or in part, in any manner; provided, however, that the Buyer Parties may make such limited disclosures to and among the Buyer Parties as may reasonably be required in connection with Buyer’s evaluation of the Property.  Buyer agrees that the other Buyer Parties must be informed by Buyer of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and must be required by Buyer to treat the Confidential Information in confidence as required under this Agreement.  Buyer will be responsible for ensuring the compliance of all Buyer Parties with the terms of this Agreement.  Buyer will take all appropriate measures to safeguard the confidentiality and avoid any disclosure of Confidential Information to any unauthorized Person by Buyer or the Buyer Parties.  No license is granted, directly or indirectly, to any of the Confidential Information.  If this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing, then except as provided in Section 2.1(c) above, Buyer will destroy, and cause each of the Buyer Parties to destroy, all materials containing Confidential Information.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) to the extent required by a Buyer Party’s customary internal policies or other legal requirements applicable to such Buyer Party, such Buyer Party may retain a copy of Confidential Information solely to satisfy such requirements, provided that such Buyer Party must otherwise strictly maintain the confidentiality thereof; (b) a Buyer Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required to be disclosed pursuant to court order,  subpoena or other legal requirements, but only after such Buyer Party has notified Seller of any request, court order or subpoena seeking or requiring disclosure of Confidential Information and has given Seller the reasonable opportunity to appeal or challenge the same; and (c) a Buyer Party may disclose Confidential Information in any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement.  Buyer agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement by Buyer or any Buyer Parties and Seller will be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach.  The confidentiality covenants and obligations set forth in this Agreement will survive for a period of one (1) year after (i) any termination of this Agreement prior to Closing, as to all Confidential Information, or (ii) the Closing, but only as to Confidential Information relating to Seller or any Seller Parties and not as to Confidential Information relating to the Property. For clarity, the foregoing provisions shall not limit or preclude disclosures regarding this Agreement that are expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.20 below.

 

Section 7.4.           Time.  Time is of the essence in the performance of each of the Parties’ respective obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that if a deadline or date for performance, or for the giving or receipt of a notice, falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such deadline or date shall be deemed extended to the next Business Day.

 

Section 7.5.           Attorneys’ Fees.  In addition to the remedies provided in Article 6 above, if there is any litigation, action or other proceeding between the Parties (“Action”) to enforce any provisions or rights arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the Closing Documents, the Party that is determined to have prevailed in such Action will also be entitled to

 

38


 

an award against the non-prevailing Party for all costs and expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, reasonably incurred by the prevailing Party in connection with the prosecution or defense of such Action. The provisions of this Section will survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 7.6.           Merger of Obligations.  Obligations that are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive or be performed after the Closing will not merge with the transfer of legal title to the Property but will remain in effect until fulfilled; all other obligations of the Parties will merge with and be extinguished upon the transfer of legal title to the Real Property to Buyer at Closing.

 

Section 7.7.           Assignment.  Subject to the provisions of this Section, Buyer may, by written notice given to Seller not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, assign Buyer’s right to receive the conveyance of any Site or Sites under this Agreement to one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries of Buyer.  Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement are not otherwise transferable, assignable or delegable, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion.  No transfer, assignment or delegation (to a wholly-owned subsidiary or otherwise) shall be deemed to release, diminish or otherwise affect the obligations of the original Buyer under this Agreement, including the original Buyer’s obligations to pay the Purchase Price at Closing and to indemnify Seller and the other Seller Parties in accordance with the terms hereof; and any such wholly-owned subsidiary (or other approved transferee, assignee or delegee) must expressly agree for the benefit of Seller and the Seller Parties to assume such obligations and that the conveyance of the Property to such party will be subject to all of the terms, provisions, conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement to the same extent as if such party was the original Buyer executing this Agreement. Any attempted transfer, assignment or delegation by Buyer in contravention of this Section will be null and void.  Subject to the limitations described herein, this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

 

Section 7.8.           1031 Exchange.  Each Party may structure its acquisition or sale, as applicable, as part of a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Code.  Each Party will reasonably cooperate with the other (at no cost or liability to the cooperating Party) in effectuating such a like-kind exchange, including signing such documents as may be reasonably and customarily necessary to acknowledge such exchange; provided, however, that (a) the Closing will not be delayed thereby, (b) the exchanging Party will not be released from any liability or obligation under this Agreement, and (c) the cooperating Party will not incur any additional liability or undertake any additional obligation as a result of any such like-kind exchange.  The Party employing the like-kind exchange structure will pay all costs and expenses associated with effectuating such exchange.

 

Section 7.9.           Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue.  THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT AS TO REAL PROPERTY MATTERS DIRECTLY RELATED TO A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL SITE AND WHICH MUST NECESSARILY BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE RESPECTIVE REAL PROPERTY OF SUCH SITE IS LOCATED (the “Property State”), WHICH MATTERS AS TO A SPECIFIC SITE WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE RESPECTIVE PROPERTY STATE FOR SUCH SITE.  For the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding involving this Agreement, each Party expressly submits to the jurisdiction of all federal and state courts sitting in the State of Arizona or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and consents that any order, process, notice of motion or

 

39


 

other application to or by any such court or a judge thereof may be served within or without such court’s jurisdiction by registered mail or by personal service, provided that a reasonable time for appearance is allowed, and each Party agrees that such courts will have jurisdiction over any such suit, action or proceeding commenced by any Party.  Each Party irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in any federal or state court sitting in the State of Arizona or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  The foregoing provisions are not intended to establish the State of Arizona or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as the exclusive forum for any suit, action or proceeding involving this Agreement, but merely to establish the consent and agreement of each Party to such non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the event of any contest or dispute over such matters.

 

Section 7.10.        Waiver of Trial by Jury.  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY WAIVES, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON, UNDER OR BY VIRTUE OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS, THE PROPERTY, OR ANY CLAIMS OR ACTIONS PERTAINING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING.

 

Section 7.11.        Interpretation of Agreement.  The Article, Section and other headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning of any provision contained in this Agreement.  Where the context so requires, (a) the use of the singular shall include the plural and vice versa and the use of the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter; (b) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision; and (c) the words “including” and “include” and other words of similar import will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.”  All monetary amounts expressed in “dollars” or designated by a “$”, “USD” or “US$” symbol or abbreviation refer to a monetary amount payable within the United States in the current lawful, dollar-denominated official currency of the United States of America.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement represent the result of negotiations by the Parties, and each Party has been represented by counsel of, and to the extent of, such Party’s own choosing, and neither Party has acted under any duress or compulsion, whether legal, economic or otherwise.  Consequently, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with their usual and customary meanings, and the Parties each waive the application of any rule of law that might otherwise be applicable that ambiguous or conflicting terms or provisions contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against the Party that prepared (or whose attorney prepared) the executed Agreement or any earlier draft of this Agreement or the provision in question.

 

Section 7.12.        Amendments; No Waiver.  No modification, waiver, amendment or discharge of or under this Agreement will be valid unless contained in a writing signed by the Party against whom enforcement is sought.  No waiver by Seller or Buyer of a breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement will be construed or held to be a waiver of any succeeding or preceding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement.

 

Section 7.13.        No Recording.  Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or short form thereof may be recorded by Buyer or any Buyer Party.  Any such recording of this

 

40


 

Agreement or a memorandum or short form hereof by Buyer or any Buyer Party will constitute an immediate Buyer Default under this Agreement, and in addition to Seller’s other remedies therefor, Seller may conclusively establish the complete release and removal of such recorded document simply by recording a copy of this provision of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.13 to the contrary, Buyer shall have the right to file a lis pendens against the Property in connection with a suit for specific performance in accordance with Section 6.1.

 

Section 7.14.        No Third Party Beneficiary.  Except as may be expressly stated herein, the provisions of this Agreement do not and are not intended to benefit any third parties.

 

Section 7.15.        Severability.  If, in any action to enforce this Agreement, any one or more of the covenants, agreements, conditions, provisions, or terms of this Agreement is, in any respect or to any extent (in whole or in part), held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, all remaining portions thereof that are not so held, and all other covenants, agreements, conditions, provisions, and terms of this Agreement, will not be affected by such holding, but will remain valid and in force to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

Section 7.16.        Drafts Not an Offer.  The submission of a draft of this Agreement by one Party to another is not intended by either Party to be an offer to enter into a legally binding contract with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property.  The Parties will not be legally bound in any manner with respect to a purchase and sale of the Property unless and until each of Seller and Buyer have duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

 

Section 7.17.        Consent Standards.  Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, any consent, determination, election or approval required to be obtained, or permitted to be given, by or on behalf of either Party under this Agreement will be given, withheld or made (as the case may be) by such Party in the exercise of such Party’s commercially reasonable discretion and within a commercially reasonable period of time.

 

Section 7.18.        Counterparts; Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.  Signatures to this Agreement sent by email (including “.pdf”), or delivered by other electronic means will be valid and effective to bind the Party so signing.  Each Party agrees to promptly deliver a “hard copy” of this Agreement bearing such Party’s original manual ink signature to the other Party upon request, but a failure to do so will not affect the enforceability of this Agreement.

 

Section 7.19.        Intentionally Omitted.

EXHIBIT F

 

ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS

 

1.                                      Escrow Agent is authorized to take all appropriate action necessary to comply with this Agreement.

 

2.                                      All money deposited or payable under this Agreement prior to Closing will be deposited with Escrow Agent, unless otherwise specified.  All funds received by Escrow Agent will be deposited by Escrow Agent in a federally-insured account in a State or National Bank (FDIC insured) unless otherwise directed in writing by both Seller and Buyer.  Escrow Agent may not commingle the Deposit with other funds held in its “trustees account”.  Escrow Agent will invest the Deposit in an interest-bearing account meeting the above requirements if so directed by Buyer.  Any interest earned on the Deposit will be treated and reported as the income of Buyer (regardless of the ultimate disposition of the Deposit) and Buyer will be responsible for paying all taxes on any interest earned on the Deposit, which obligation will survive the Closing.

 

3.                                      Disbursement of funds from Escrow Agent to Seller or Buyer will be made by wire transfer.  Unless otherwise specified by a Party, disbursement of any funds to any payee other than Seller or Buyer may be made by check of Escrow Agent.  Escrow Agent will be under no obligation to disburse any funds represented by check or draft and no check or draft will be considered to have been deposited with Escrow Agent in compliance with any of the requirements hereof until Escrow Agent has commercially reasonable assurance that such check or draft has been or will be honored.

 

4.                                      Any Party seeking release or disbursement of the Deposit prior to Closing will make written demand therefor upon both Escrow Agent and the other Party.  If Escrow Agent intends to release the Deposit to either Party pursuant to this Agreement (other than at Closing), then Escrow Agent will give the other Party not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice of such fact and if Escrow Agent receives written notice during such five (5) Business Day period that such other Party objects to the release, then Escrow Agent will not release the Deposit and any such dispute will be resolved as provided herein.  Escrow Agent will promptly notify both Parties of any actual release of the Deposit.  All notices will be provided as required under the notice provisions of this Agreement.

 

5.                                      When this Agreement and all title requirements have been complied with (including without limitation all conditions set forth in any closing instructions agreed to by Escrow Agent), Escrow Agent will deliver, file or record in the appropriate public office all necessary documents, disburse all funds and cause the Title Company to issue the appropriate Title Policies.

 

6.                                      Escrow Agent may for reasonable cause resign upon ten (10) days written notice to the Parties; provided that Escrow Agent will transfer the Deposit together with all documents and other funds then held by Escrow Agent to a successor escrow agent acceptable to both Seller and Buyer who agrees in writing to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or if Seller and Buyer cannot agree upon an acceptable successor escrow agent, then Escrow Agent will have the right to resign and interplead the Deposit together with all documents and other funds then held by Escrow Agent to a court of competent jurisdiction.

 


 

7.                                      If conflicting demands are made upon Escrow Agent concerning this Agreement where this Agreement does not clearly specify the course of action Escrow Agent is required to take, Escrow Agent shall either (a) hold any money and documents deposited under this Agreement that are the subject of such conflict until it receives mutual instructions by all Parties or until a civil action will have been concluded in a court of competent jurisdiction, determining the rights of the Parties or (b) at its discretion, commence a civil action to interplead any conflicting demands to a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

8.                                      Subject to the other terms and provisions hereof, Escrow Agent will be entitled to rely upon any judgment, certification, demand or other writing delivered to it under this Agreement without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein, the propriety or validity thereof, or the jurisdiction of a court issuing any such judgment.  Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon (x) any instrument or signature believed to be genuine and duly authorized, and (y) advice of counsel in reference to any matter or matters connected therewith.

 

9.                                      Escrow Agent will have no liability whatsoever arising out of or in connection with its activity as escrow agent except in the case of its negligence or willful misconduct or a breach by Escrow Agent of these Escrow Instructions and Seller and Buyer jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent from all loss, cost, claim, damage, liability and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may be incurred by reason of its acting as escrow agent unless caused by Escrow Agent’s negligence or willful misconduct or a breach by Escrow Agent of this Agreement.  As between Seller and Buyer, if Escrow Agent incurs any loss, cost, claim, damage, liability or expense for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder in connection with any dispute between Seller and Buyer, then the Party that does not substantially prevail in such dispute shall be responsible for any such loss, cost, claim, damage, liability or expense.

 

10.                               If escrow fails to close because of Seller’s default, Seller will be liable for any cancellation charges of Escrow Agent.  If escrow fails to close because of Buyer’s default, Buyer will be liable for any cancellation charges of Escrow Agent.  If escrow fails to close for any other reason, Seller and Buyer will each be liable for one-half of any cancellation charges of Escrow Agent.

 

11.                               Escrow Agent will be “the person responsible for closing” the transaction pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 6045(e), including preparing and filing the applicable IRS Form(s) 1099-S in compliance with Section 6045(e).  The provisions of these Escrow Instructions will survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
