To the extent available and in the possession or control of the Vendor, the Vendor will make available to the Purchaser for the Purchaser’s review copies of the following until the Due Diligence Date and after such date at the Purchaser’s written request:
 
 
(a)
existing surveys or certificates of location for the Property, if any;

realty tax bills with respect to the Property for the two most recent tax years, and the most current tax assessment together with all assessment appeals, if any, and material filed in support thereof;
 
 
(f)
a certificate of insurance issued by the Vendor’s insurer, confirming the Vendor’s insurance coverage with respect to the Building; and
 
 
(g)
such other documents, plans, reports, bills, statements and other information relating to Subject Assets as the Purchaser may reasonably require.
 
The Vendor will execute and deliver to the Purchaser within three (3) Business Days after receipt of a written request from the Purchaser, authorizations to Governmental Authorities necessary to permit the Purchaser to obtain information from their files, provided each such authorization expressly states that there shall not be any inspections by a Governmental Authority with respect to the Property and none is authorized or requested and such authorization must otherwise be satisfactory to the Vendor, acting reasonably.  The Purchaser shall not request any Governmental Authority to inspect any of the Property.
 
2.3
Access to Property
 
 
(a)
Subject to the Purchaser complying with each of its obligations herein, from and after the Execution Date to and including the Due Diligence Date, and subject to any restrictions on the Vendor’s ability to grant access to the Property (which the Vendor shall use its best efforts to have waived), the Purchaser and its Representatives shall have access to the Property during the Vendor’s normal business hours upon reasonable notice to the Vendor, at the Purchaser’s sole risk and expense, for the purpose of inspecting the Property, including without limitation performing physical and structural inspections, soil tests and environmental audits.  Such inspections, tests and audits shall be conducted in a
 
- 7 -


 
manner that minimizes interference with the use of the Property. The Vendor or its agents shall accompany the Purchaser and its agents, consultants and employees on any inspections and shall have the right, acting reasonably, to approve, or to refuse approval for, invasive or intrusive inspections, tests and audits, if any are proposed by the Purchaser, prior to such inspections, tests and audits being undertaken.  No such inspections, tests or audits shall occur unless the Purchaser has given the Vendor at least three (3) complete Business Day’s prior written notice and complies with the foregoing requirements.  If, at any time, the Purchaser’s access to the Property shall be denied or impeded for any reason (other than by reason of the Purchaser's failure to comply with, or the proper imposition by the Vendor of, the access conditions set out in this Section 2.3(a)) such that the Purchaser is unable to conduct its Due Diligence of the Property, the Due Diligence Date shall automatically be extended by the number of days corresponding to the number of days on which such access was so denied or impeded.
 
 
(b)
The Purchaser shall repair any damage caused by inspections, tests and audits performed by the Purchaser or its agents, consultants or employees and fully indemnify the Vendor from all costs of repairing any damage caused by such inspections, tests or audits and all Claims relating to any such inspections, tests and audits and from all Claims incurred by the Vendor as a result thereof.  This indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement regardless of the cause of such termination.
 
2.4
Purchaser’s Investigations
 
 
(a)
On or before 5:00 p.m. on the Due Diligence Date, the Purchaser shall conduct (subject to compliance with other relevant provisions of this Agreement) all investigations, inspections, reviews, tests and audits relating to the Subject Assets and the Property (including, without limitation, title to the Subject Assets and the Property and compliance with Applicable Laws) and the transactions provided for herein (collectively referred to herein as the “Due Diligence”) which the Purchaser deems necessary or desirable.
 
 
(b)
The Purchaser shall be entitled, on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Due Diligence Date, in its sole and absolute discretion, to determine whether it is satisfied with the results of its Due Diligence.  The Purchaser shall be deemed to not be satisfied with the result of its Due Diligence unless the Purchaser delivers to the Vendor on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Due Diligence Date a written notice in the form attached hereto (with the relevant details inserted therein) as Schedule D (the “Satisfaction Notice”) stating that it is satisfied with the results of its Due Diligence.  If the Purchaser fails to give the Vendor a Satisfaction Notice by such time, then this Agreement shall terminate automatically at such time and, upon such termination, the Purchaser and Vendor shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement (except for those obligations which are expressly stated to
 
- 8 -


 
survive the termination of this Agreement) and the Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be returned to the Purchaser forthwith without deduction.
 
 
(c)
If the Purchaser does deliver the Satisfaction Notice to the Vendor by such time, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.1), the Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its right to raise any objection to, or to have or make any Claim regarding, any circumstance, defect, matter or issue in respect of the Subject Assets or the Property, or any other aspect thereof of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, any objection or Claim relating to the Vendor’s title to the Subject Assets or any matter relating to title to the Property or the existence of any Encumbrances (other than Encumbrances to be Discharged), as such title and Encumbrances exist on the Due Diligence Date, any non-compliance with Applicable Laws, or any Contract, Encumbrance or other instrument).  The Purchaser retains the right to make valid objections to title or other requisitions, in each case, in writing to the extent that any document or instrument that is not a Permitted Encumbrance is registered against title to the Property or any work order or deficiency notice or other similar notice of non-compliance is otherwise issued or filed after the Due Diligence Date and before the Closing Date.  If, within ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of such written requisition from the Purchaser, the Vendor advises the Purchaser in writing (the “Requisition Notice”) that the Vendor is unwilling or unable to remove or satisfy the Purchaser’s objections, then, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or any intermediate acts or negotiations in respect of such objections, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Vendor to be delivered by the earlier of (i) the date on which Closing is scheduled to occur, and (ii) the tenth Business Day after the Requisition Notice is received by the Purchaser.  In such event, the Deposit, together with all interest accrued thereon, shall be returned to the Purchaser forthwith without deduction.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser also agrees that, subject to Section 7.3(d), the Purchaser shall not have the right to seek an abatement to the Purchase Price or any other remedy by virtue of any matters Disclosed to the Purchaser prior to the Due Diligence Date or as a result of any circumstance, defect, matter or issue in respect of the Subject Assets or the Property in respect of the Subject Assets or the Property, or any other aspect thereof of any nature whatsoever, in existence at the Due Diligence Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the Closing does take place the foregoing does not derogate from the Purchaser’s rights in the event of any breach of a representation or warranty made in this Agreement by the Vendor, except as is otherwise provided in the last sentence of Section 2.7.
 
2.5
Confidentiality
 
 
(a)
The Vendor and Purchaser agree that each party:
 
- 9 -


 
(i)
shall keep all provisions of this Agreement confidential and shall not disclose any of its provisions to any Person; and
 
 
(ii)
shall keep confidential all Confidential Information and shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any Person, except as required by Applicable Laws or as permitted pursuant to Subsection 2.5(b) hereof and except (A) to those trustees, directors, officers, employees and advisors of each of the parties who are participating in the Transaction or are otherwise specifically in writing approved by the other party (all such Persons being referred to as “Representatives”), and (B) to the officers, employees and solicitors of any lender to the Purchaser (all such Persons being referred to as “Lender Representatives”) in connection with any financing to be undertaken by the Purchaser in connection with the Subject Assets.  The Vendor and the Purchaser shall cause all Representatives, and the Purchaser shall cause all Lender Representatives, who, in each case, receive any information of the nature referred to above to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.5.
 
 
(b)
Neither the Vendor nor the Purchaser shall issue any press release or other public announcement or release information with respect to this Agreement to the press or the public unless the same has been mutually approved by the Vendor and the Purchaser or such disclosure is in the good faith opinion of the Purchaser or the Vendor, as the case may be, required in order to comply with any Applicable Laws, with any agreement between any affiliate of the Vendor and any inspector in respect of Hollinger Inc. appointed under the Canada Business Corporations Act, or the rules, orders or regulations of any stock exchange or to satisfy the obligations of the Vendor under Permitted Encumbrances, and then only after prior consultation with the other party hereto, if possible.
 
 
(c)
It is agreed that if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, each party shall promptly return, or cause to be returned, to the other party all written Confidential Information in the possession or control of the other party or any other Person to whom Confidential Information has been provided and shall destroy, or cause to be destroyed, any Confidential Information stored in or on any computer memory, disk, tape or other contrivance whatsoever in the possession or control of the other party or any other Person to whom the other party has provided Confidential Information.  On request of a party, the other party shall certify that it has complied with its obligation under this Section.
 
 
(d)
The provisions of this Section are supplementary to the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement and do not in any way derogate from the obligations of the Purchaser pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement.  In the case of any conflict between the provisions of this Section and the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, the latter shall prevail.

- 10 -

 
(e)
The provisions of this Section 2.5 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement, regardless of the cause of such termination.
 
2.6
Settlement of Documents
 
The parties shall proceed diligently and in good faith to attempt to agree, on or before the Due Diligence Date, upon the contents of all Closing Documents to be executed and delivered by the Vendor and the Purchaser; provided that in the case of any Closing Documents to be executed and delivered in the form set out in a schedule to this Agreement, such form shall not be subject to further negotiations and the Vendor shall provide all details and/or information necessary to complete such documents, subject to the Purchaser’s approval of the accuracy of such details and information, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
 
2.7
Subsequent Deliveries
 
Any documentation or other information provided by the Vendor to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.2 may be amended or supplemented by the Vendor as necessary from time to time until the Due Diligence Date.  In addition, if the Vendor becomes aware of a failure to provide any document or other information that it is required to provide in accordance with Section 2.2 at any time prior to the Due Diligence Date, it may advise the Purchaser in writing of such failure and deliver such information to the Purchaser at any time prior to the Due Diligence Date.  If the Purchaser delivers a Satisfaction Notice pursuant to Section 2.4 prior to 5:00 p.m. on the Due Diligence Date, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted for all purposes all matters which have been Disclosed to the Purchaser on or before the Due Diligence Date and if any representation or warranty of the Vendor is incorrect or inaccurate but the Purchaser has received written notice from the Vendor or its Representatives on or before the Due Diligence Date of the instrument, circumstance, action, omission, matter or issue which causes such representation or warranty to be incorrect or inaccurate, then such representation and warranty shall be deemed to have been qualified by reference to such instrument, circumstance, matter or issue.
 
If the Vendor receives from any Governmental Authority any directives or orders referred to in Section 2.2(d) between the Due Diligence Date and the Closing Date, the Vendor shall deliver a copy of same to the Purchaser as expeditiously as possible.
 
2.8
Excluded Chattels
 
For greater certainty, the Subject Assets shall not include any of the Excluded Chattels, and the Excluded Chattels shall not be conveyed to the Purchaser on Closing.

(a)
Prior to 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day following the date this Agreement is executed and delivered by both parties hereto the Purchaser shall pay $500,000 (the “Initial Deposit”) by certified cheque or negotiable bank draft to the Vendor’s Solicitors to be invested by the Vendor’s Solicitors in trust, as the Purchaser directs, in a term deposit or other similar certificate of deposit with a Canadian Schedule I chartered bank maturing on the Closing Date.  Contemporaneously with the payment of the Initial Deposit by the Purchaser to the Vendor’s Solicitors, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Vendor’s Solicitors a deposit authorization in the form attached hereto as Schedule H.
 
 
(b)
Unless this Agreement has terminated pursuant to Section 2.4, prior to 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the first Business Day following the Due Diligence Date, the Purchaser shall pay $500,000 (the “Additional Deposit”) as a further deposit to the Vendor’s Solicitors to be invested, as the Purchaser directs, by the Vendor’s Solicitors on the same terms as referred to in Subsection 3.1(a).  In this Agreement, “Deposit” means the Initial Deposit and, if applicable, the Additional Deposit.  Contemporaneously with the payment of the Additional Deposit by the Purchaser to the Vendor’s Solicitors, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Vendor’s Solicitors a deposit authorization in the form attached hereto as Schedule H.
 
 
(c)
If the Transaction is not completed for any reason other than the default of the Purchaser (and for greater certainty the failure to submit a Satisfaction Notice is not a default of the Purchaser), the Deposit (together with all interest accrued thereon) shall be returned to the Purchaser forthwith thereafter without deduction.  If the Transaction is not completed as a result of the default of the Purchaser, the Deposit, together with interest thereon, shall be forfeited to the Vendor and thereupon be paid to the Vendor, without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the Vendor at law or in equity as a result of such default.

relating to the Deposit and interest earned thereon.  The Vendor’s Solicitors will not, under any circumstances, be required to verify or determine the validity of any notice or other document whatsoever delivered to the Vendor’s Solicitors and the Vendor’s Solicitors are hereby relieved of any liability or responsibility for any loss or damage which may arise as the result of the acceptance by the Vendor’s Solicitors of any such notice or other document in good faith (provided that the Vendor’s Solicitors shall not be relieved of any liability or responsibility for any loss or damage which may arise if the Vendor’s Solicitors release the Deposit to a party hereto after having received prior written notice from the other party hereto claiming entitlement to such Deposit or a dispute to such entitlement).
 
3.2
Method of Payment of Purchase Price
 
On Closing the Purchase Price shall be satisfied as follows:
 
 
(a)
by application of the Deposit and interest earned thereon held by the Vendor’s Solicitors; and
 
 
(b)
by payment to the Vendor, or as the Vendor directs in writing, of an amount (the “Balance”) equal to the Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3, less the aggregate of the amounts referred to in paragraph 3.2(a).  The Balance shall be paid on Closing by the Purchaser by certified cheque or negotiable bank draft of one of the five largest (by asset size) Schedule I Canadian chartered banks.
 
If at any time the Vendor delivers to the Purchaser a direction in writing in respect of the payment of the Balance the Purchaser shall forthwith provide, at the Vendor’s request, in favour of any lender to the Vendor and/or affiliates of the Vendor an irrevocable acknowledgement of such direction and an agreement to act in accordance therewith unless otherwise agreed to by such lender.

Adjustments

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Vendor shall be responsible for all expenses and liabilities, including, without limitation, the expense of paying and registering discharges of all Encumbrances to be Discharged, and be entitled to receive all revenues accrued in respect of the Subject Assets up to and including the Closing Date.  After the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall be responsible for all expenses and liabilities accruing in respect of the Subject Assets after the Closing Date and shall be entitled to all revenues accruing in respect of the Subject Assets after the Closing Date.  Except as otherwise provided herein, all adjustments for income and operating expenses, utilities, taxes (including local improvement charges and assessments and business taxes) and other adjustments established by the usual practice in the City of Toronto, shall be made as of the Closing Date and shall be paid on the Closing Date pursuant to a statement of adjustments to be prepared by the Vendor and approved by the Purchaser, each acting reasonably.

(b)
If the final cost or amount of any item which is to be adjusted cannot be determined at Closing, then an initial adjustment for such item shall be made at Closing, such amount to be estimated by the Vendor, acting reasonably, as of the Closing Date on the basis of the best evidence available at the Closing as to what the final cost or amount of such item will be.  All amounts which have been estimated as at the Closing Date because they have not been finally determined at that date (the “Post Closing Adjustments”) shall be finally adjusted on a post-closing basis once they have been determined and finalized.  In each case when a Post Closing Adjustment is determined, the Vendor or the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall within thirty (30) days of determination, provide a complete statement thereof, together with particulars relating thereto in reasonable detail, to the other and within thirty (30) days thereafter the parties hereto shall make a final adjustment as of the Closing Date for the Post Closing Adjustment in question.  In the case of any dispute between the parties hereto with respect to any Post Closing Adjustments, the final amount of such Post Closing Adjustments shall be determined by the audit firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP and the cost of such determination shall be shared equally between the parties hereto.  Either party may refer any such dispute to Deloitte & Touche LLP for such determination and such determination shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.  The Vendor and Purchaser agree to execute and deliver on the Closing Date an undertaking to re-adjust and pay the amount of any Post Closing Adjustments as may be owing pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all adjustments and Post Closing Adjustments to be made pursuant to this Subsection 3.3(b) shall, in any event, be completed on or before the date which is the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Final Adjustment Date”) and no claim for any re-adjustment may be made by either party thereafter, unless such claim is a claim contemplated by the provisions of Section 6.3, in which case such provisions shall apply.  It is agreed that no adjustments shall be made with respect to insurance premiums and that the Purchaser shall not assume or take an assignment of the Vendor’s insurance policies.
 
 
(c)
In the event that there are any realty or business tax appeals for the period prior to Closing, the Vendor may, at its option, continue such appeals and shall be entitled to receive any payment resulting therefrom, provided that the Vendor shall consult with the Purchaser with respect to, and the Purchaser acting reasonably shall have the right to approve, any final settlement or disposition of any such appeal.  Any refund or reassessment for the 2006 calendar year (after deduction of out-of-pocket expenses in conducting any such appeal or reassessment, including any commissions payable to agents or consultants) shall be readjusted as of the Closing Date after the conclusion of any assessment appeal and notwithstanding such readjustment occurs after the Final Adjustment Date.  The Purchaser agrees to co-operate with the Vendor with respect to all such appeals or reassessments (provided that such cooperation shall not entail the expenditure of any money by the Purchaser other than its own administrative expenses and any legal fees incurred by the Purchaser in connection therewith) and to provide the Vendor
 
- 14 -

 
with access to any necessary documents or materials required to continue any such appeals or reassessments.  To the extent the Purchaser receives payment of any refund or reassessment for the period prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall hold such refund or reassessment payment in trust for the Vendor and shall endorse (without recourse) in favour of the Vendor and deliver to the Vendor all such payment cheques forthwith upon receipt.
 
 
(d)
The Purchaser shall provide the Vendor and its auditors, during normal business hours at any time and from time to time after Closing until the Final Adjustment Date upon reasonable prior notice to the Purchaser, access to the books, files and records of the Purchaser relating exclusively to the Subject Assets, for the purpose of calculating or verifying the amount of any Adjustments and dealing with any tax appeals.
 
 
(e)
On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall issue replacement letters of credit and/or security deposits for the letters of credit and/or security deposits with respect to the Property, if any, (all of which shall be Disclosed to the Purchaser prior to the Due Diligence Date) and shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause the Vendor’s letters of credit and/or security deposits with respect to the Property to be released and returned to the Vendor.  Provided that to the extent that the Purchaser is unable to cause such letters of credit and/or security deposits to be released and returned to the Vendor, in lieu of issuing the replacement letters of credit and/or security deposits referred to above, the Purchaser shall cause matching letters of credit and/or security deposits to be provided to the Vendor, which matching letters of credit and/or security deposits may be drawn upon by the Vendor if and to the extent that the Vendor’s letters of credit and/or security deposits are drawn upon.
 
3.4
Allocation of Purchase Price

(b)
Except as expressly provided in Section 6.1, the Vendor makes no representations or warranties of any nature whatsoever with respect to any information or documentation Disclosed to the Purchaser, nor with respect to the Subject Assets (including, without limitation, the Vendor’s title thereto and any Encumbrances), the Property or any other assets or the Transaction including, without limitation, (i) the structural integrity or any other aspect of the physical condition of the Building, (ii) the conformity of the Building to any plans or specifications for the Property (including, but not limited to, any plans and specifications that may have been or which may be provided to the Purchaser), (iii) the conformity of the Property to past, current or future applicable zoning or building code requirements or other Applicable Laws, (iv) the existence of soil instability, past soil repairs, soil additions or conditions of soil fill or any other matter affecting the stability or integrity of the Lands, or any Building situated on or as part of the Property, (v) the sufficiency of any drainage, (vi) whether the Property is located wholly or partially in a flood plain or a flood hazard boundary or similar area, (vii) the existence or non-existence of underground storage tanks, (viii) the availability of public utilities and services for the Property, (ix) the fitness or suitability of the Property for occupancy or any intended use (including matters relating to health and safety and the environment), (x) the potential for further development of the

(c)
As part of the Purchaser’s agreement to purchase the Subject Assets and accept the Subject Assets and the Property “as-is, where-is”, and not as a limitation on such agreement, the Purchaser hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all actual or potential rights or claims the Purchaser might have against the Vendor pursuant to any warranty, express or implied, of any kind or type, other than those representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement, or in any of the Closing Documents relating to the Property or any other assets, the Subject Assets, the Property Conditions or any other aspect of the Transaction.  Such waiver is absolute, unlimited and includes, but is not limited to, waiver of express warranties, implied warranties, warranties of fitness for a particular use, warranties of merchantability, warranties of occupancy, strict liability and claims of every kind and type, including, but not limited to, claims regarding defects, whether or not discoverable, product liability claims, or similar claims, and to all other extent or later created or conceived of strict liability or strict liability type claims and rights.

6.5
Bulk Sales Legislation
 
The Vendor shall comply with the provisions of any statutes governing bulk sales or similar legislation applicable to the Transaction on or before Closing.
 
6.6
Third Party Claims
 
 
(a)
In the case of Claims made by a third party after the Closing (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which the Claiming Party seeks to make a Claim against the Responding Party as a result of the breach by the Responding Party of any representation, warranty, certification or covenant made by such Responding Party in or pursuant to this Agreement or any Closing Document, the Claiming Party shall give written notice to the Responding Party of any such Third Party
 
- 27 -


 
Claim forthwith after receiving notice thereof.  If the Claiming Party fails to give such written notice to the Responding Party, such failure shall not preclude the Claiming Party from making such Claim against the Responding Party, but its right to indemnification may be reduced to the extent that such delay prejudiced the defence of the Third Party Claim or increased the amount of liability or the cost of the defence.
 
 
(b)
The Responding Party shall have the right, by written notice to the Claiming Party given not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice referred to in Subsection 6.6(a), to assume the control of the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim.
 
 
(c)
Upon the assumption of control of any Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party as contemplated by Subsection 6.6(b), the Responding Party shall diligently proceed with the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim at its sole expense, including, if necessary, employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Claiming Party and, in connection therewith, the Claiming Party shall co-operate fully (but at the expense of the Responding Party with respect to any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Claiming Party) to make available to the Responding Party all pertinent information and witnesses under the Claiming Party’s control, make such assignments and take such other steps as in the opinion of counsel for the Responding Party, acting reasonably, are reasonably necessary to enable the Claiming Party to conduct such defence.  The Claiming Party shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim at its own expense and no Third Party Claim shall be settled, compromised or otherwise disposed of without the prior written consent of the Claiming Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  If the Responding Party elects to assume control of the Third Party Claim as contemplated by Subsection 6.6(b), the Claiming Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of the Third Party Claim unless the Responding Party consents in writing to such payment or unless the Responding Party, subject to the last sentence of Subsection 6.6(d), withdraws from the defence of such Third Party Claim or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of the Responding Party is entered against the Claiming Party in respect of such Third Party Claim.
 
 
(d)
If the Responding Party fails to give written notice to the Claiming Party as contemplated by Subsection 6.6(b), the Claiming Party shall be entitled to make such settlement of the Third Party Claim, or otherwise deal therewith, as it deems appropriate, acting reasonably, and such settlement or any other final determination of the claim or demand shall be binding upon the Responding Party.  If the Responding Party fails to defend or, if after commencing or undertaking such defence, fails to prosecute or withdraws from such defence, the Claiming Party shall have the right to undertake the defence or settlement thereof.  If the Claiming Party assumes the defence of any Third Party Claim and proposes
 
- 28 -


 
to settle it prior to a final judgment thereon or to forego any appeal with respect thereto, then the Claiming Party shall give the Responding Party prompt written notice thereof, and the Responding Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defence of such Third Party Claim.

Operation Before Closing
 
From the date hereof until Closing, the Vendor shall operate the Property in accordance with its current management practices applicable to the Property.
 
7.2
Damage Before Closing
 
The interest of the Vendor in and to the Property shall be at the risk of the Vendor until Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  The Vendor covenants and agrees to notify the Purchaser in writing of any and all loss or damage to the Property in excess of $50,000 forthwith following the occurrence thereof.  If loss or damage to the Property occurs, then:
 
 
(a)
if the cost of repair or restoration, in the opinion of the Vendor’s architect or engineer, will exceed an amount equal to 35% of the Purchase Price (such damage being referred to herein as “Substantial Damage”), then the Vendor or the Purchaser may by notice to the other party within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of such Substantial Damage, elect to terminate this Agreement in which event this Agreement shall automatically terminate, be null and void and of no further force and effect whatsoever, the Purchaser and Vendor shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement (except those which are expressly stated to survive any termination of this Agreement) and the Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be returned to the Purchaser forthwith without deduction; and
 
 
(b)
if such loss or damage is not Substantial Damage, or is Substantial Damage but neither party has elected to exercise the termination right with respect to the Agreement, pursuant to Subsection 7.2(a), then neither party shall have any right to terminate this Agreement by virtue thereof, the Vendor shall pay any insurance deductibles in respect of such loss or damage, the Purchaser shall be entitled to all proceeds of property insurance in respect of such loss or damage (except that portion, if any, required to reimburse the Vendor for repair or restoration work it has done prior to Closing and insurance for loss of income prior to Closing, all of which shall be paid to the Vendor), the parties shall complete the Transaction and the Purchaser shall promptly and diligently repair such damage at its own expense following Closing.
 
- 29 -


 
The Vendor covenants and agrees that, during the entire period of time from and including the Execution Date to and including the Closing Date, the Vendor shall maintain the same or substantially similar insurance as disclosed to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.2(f) above.  If the damage or destruction occurs at such time that there is insufficient time for the Vendor or the Purchaser to make its election hereunder, the Closing Date shall be postponed to a date which is five (5) Business Days after the earlier of the date such election is made or the period for making such election has expired, or if such date is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day thereafter.
 
7.3
Leasing and Contracts
 
 
(a)
The Vendor shall not enter into any new material Contract (unless such Contract is terminable without penalty upon notice of not more than thirty (30) days) after the date hereof without the prior approval of the Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  In the case of each such Contract where the approval of the Purchaser is required, such approval shall be deemed to have been given if no response is received from the Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days following written request therefor sent in accordance with the provisions hereof.
 
 
(b)
At any time after the date hereof, the Vendor shall not voluntarily materially amend or terminate any material Contract without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed .  In each such case where the approval of the Purchaser is required, such approval shall be deemed to have been given if no response is received from the Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days following written request therefor sent in accordance with the provisions hereof.
 
 
(c)
If any Contracts involving the provision of services to the Property, or other similar Contracts, also apply to any other properties, the Vendor shall be entitled, with the consent of the Purchaser, prior to the Due Diligence Date, to amend each such Contract, or replace it with a new or restated agreement, in order to provide that the Contract, as so amended or replaced (it being agreed that the Contract as so amended or replaced is the Contract for all purposes of this Agreement), shall not apply to any properties other than the Property.
 
 
(d)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no default by any Person other than the Vendor under any Permitted Encumbrances or Contract (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy or event of insolvency) or repudiation or termination thereof, or proceeding for relief therefrom, at any time after the Due Diligence Date, and no other change adverse to the Subject Assets or the Property or their value at any time after the Due Diligence Date (it being acknowledged that the Purchaser has a right of termination prior to the Due Diligence Date pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof), other than a change caused by the wrongful act of the Vendor, shall entitle the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement or to an
 
- 30 -


 
abatement of the Purchase Price or any other right or remedy whatsoever, the Purchaser agreeing to accept the risk of the foregoing.  The foregoing does not relieve, however, the Vendor from any consequences of any default by the Vendor under any such Permitted Encumbrance or Contract where the result of such default would be the breach by the Vendor of any of its representations or warranties or non-satisfaction of the conditions set out in Section 4.2, it being agreed that in the case of any such default, if it has a material adverse effect on the Property, the Purchaser shall be entitled to an adjustment of the Purchase Price by the amount of the diminution in value of the Property caused by such default, if any, but no other remedy.
 
7.4
Assignment of Contracts
 
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an assignment of, or an attempt to assign to the Purchaser, any Contract or Permitted Encumbrance which is (i) not assignable, or (ii) not assignable without the approval or consent of the other party or parties thereto, without first obtaining such approval or consent (collectively “Non-Assignable Rights”).  The failure to obtain any such approval or consent, or the fact that a Contract or Permitted Encumbrance is not assignable, shall not entitle the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement or to any other right or remedy whatsoever (without prejudice to the right of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement prior to the Due Diligence Date pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.4 if the Purchaser is not satisfied with its Due Diligence).  In connection with such Non-Assignable Rights the Vendor shall, at the request of the Purchaser and in each case at the Purchaser’s expense:
 
 
(a)
apply for and use all reasonable efforts to obtain all such consents or approvals, in a form satisfactory to the Purchaser acting reasonably, provided that nothing herein shall require the Vendor to make any payment to any other party to any of the Contracts; and
 
 
(b)
co-operate with the Purchaser in any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide the benefits of such Non-Assignable Rights to the Purchaser, including without limitation, holding any such Non-Assignable Rights in trust for the Purchaser or acting as agent for the Purchaser, provided that pursuant to such arrangements the Purchaser fully indemnifies the Vendor for all obligations or liabilities incurred thereunder or in connection therewith.
 
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Section and any other provision of this Agreement, this Section shall prevail.  This provision survives the Closing.
 
7.5
Trade-Marks
 
No trade-marks, trade-names, logos, commercial symbols, business names or other intellectual property rights are conveyed or intended to be conveyed to the Purchaser as part of the Subject Assets.
