THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals, the mutual covenants and agreements herein set forth and the benefits to be derived therefrom, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Purchaser and Seller agree as follows:

 

1.             PURCHASE AND SALE.

 

Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, and Seller shall sell to Purchaser, the Land, together with: (i) all buildings and improvements located on, in, under, or upon the Land (the “Improvements”) and any and all rights, hereditaments, tenements, easements, licenses, profits, issues and privileges presently thereon or appertaining to the Land or Improvements (all of the foregoing, collectively with the Land and Improvements shall be referred to herein as the “Real Property”); (ii) Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Leases (as defined in Section 9.1.5) and any security deposits paid by tenants or subtenants under the Leases and any guaranties thereof; (iii) all furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment (excluding computer hardware and software), tools and other tangible property (collectively, the “Personal Property”), if any, owned by Seller, located on the Real Property and used solely in connection therewith; and (iv) to the extent assignable or transferable and, subject to the terms hereof, all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in and to all intangible property (the “Intangible Property”), if any, pertaining to the Land, the Improvements or the Personal Property or the use thereof, including without limitation, an assignment of all roof warranties together with the consent of the warrantor, if required (provided that such consent may be obtained immediately post-Closing if required under the warranty), and all other warranties and guarantees (provided that Seller shall not be responsible for any costs related to the transfer of any warranties and guarantees, including any work required to be performed in order to effectuate such transfer), permits, certificates of occupancy, licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, transferable utility contracts, and any plans and specifications (items (i) through (iv) above, together with the Land, are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Property”). All of the foregoing expressly excludes all property owned by tenants, subtenants or other users or occupants of the Property pursuant to the Leases.

 

 

 

 

2.             PURCHASE PRICE.

 

The total consideration to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for the Property is FOURTEEN MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($14,600,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:

 

2.1           Earnest Money.

 

2.1.1        Purchaser shall deliver to Fidelity National Title Group National Commercial Services – Atlanta, Attn. Linda Hart (the “Title Company”) within one (1) business day of the Effective Date earnest money in the sum of ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($150,000.00) (together with any interest thereon, net of investment costs, the “Initial Earnest Money”). Purchaser’s failure to timely deliver the Initial Earnest Money as provided herein shall render this Agreement null and void. In the event Purchaser shall have timely delivered the Notice to Proceed (as hereinafter defined), as provided in Section 4.1.1 below, on or prior to the expiration of the Review Period (as hereinafter defined), then Purchaser shall, within one (1) business day after the expiration of the Review Period, deliver to the Title Company additional earnest money in the sum of ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($150,000.00) (the “Additional Earnest Money”). If this Agreement is terminated, the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser or delivered to Seller as provided for below and neither party shall have any further liability to the other hereunder (except for liabilities that expressly survive termination of this Agreement). The Initial Earnest Money and the Additional Earnest Money, together with any interest earned thereon, net of investment costs, are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Earnest Money.” The Earnest Money shall be held and, at Purchaser’s election, invested by the Title Company in an interest bearing account with a federally insured financial institution reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. Any and all interest earned on the Earnest Money shall be reported to Purchaser’s federal tax identification number.

 

2.1.2        If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transaction”) closes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be applied as a credit to the Purchase Price, and the Title Company shall deliver the Earnest Money to Seller as partial payment of the Purchase Price on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined).

 

2.1.3        Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a portion of the Earnest Money in the amount of $100.00 shall be non-refundable and shall be distributed to Seller upon any termination of this Agreement as independent consideration for Seller’s performance under this Agreement and for the rights granted to Purchaser hereunder. Such $100.00 independent consideration shall be deducted from any refund or delivery of the Earnest Money to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and shall simultaneously be distributed to Seller.

 

2.2           Cash at Closing. At Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Seller, with current, federal funds wire transferred to Title Company, an amount equal to the Purchase Price, minus the sum of the Earnest Money which Seller shall receive at Closing from the Title Company, and plus or minus, as the case may require, the closing prorations and adjustments to be made pursuant to Section 5.4 below (collectively, the “Cash Amount”).

3.             EVIDENCE OF TITLE.

 

3.1           Seller shall convey to Purchaser all of its right, title and interest in and to the Real Property at Closing by a special warranty deed subject only to (1) all real estate taxes and assessments due and payable after the date of Closing, (2) all encumbrances, rights-of-way, easements, covenants, conditions, restrictions and other matters of record, (3) zoning and other governmental restrictions and regulations, (4) all unrecorded written leases and the rights of tenants as tenants only thereunder, and (5) all matters that would be disclosed by a diligent inspection and/or an accurate survey of the Property (collectively, the “Permitted Exceptions”).

 

3.2           Purchaser has ordered, to be paid for by Seller, at its sole cost and expense, a current standard coverage title insurance commitment for an ALTA 2006 owner’s policy of title insurance committing the Title Company to insure Purchaser in the amount of the Purchase Price as the fee simple owner of the Real Property, without standard exceptions (the “Title Commitment”), together with copies of all recorded encumbrances and exceptions to title, from the Title Company. Seller has delivered to Purchaser a copy of that certain ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey of the Real Property, dated January 28, 2010, and performed by Johnston’s Surveying Inc., as Job No. 10-006 (the “Existing Survey”). Purchaser may order an updated survey of the Real Property at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. If Purchaser shall obtain an updated survey of the Real Property prior to the expiration of the Title Objection Period (as defined below), such updated survey shall be the “Survey”; otherwise, the Existing Survey shall be the “Survey”. Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on November 23, 2016 (the “Title Objection Period”) within which to object, by written notice to Seller, to any exceptions to title set forth in the Title Commitment and/or to any state of facts in or disclosed by the Survey (the “Title Objection Notice”). Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted all matters shown in the Title Commitment and the form and substance of the Survey, except only for matters expressly objected to in the Title Objection Notice prior to the expiration of the Title Objection Period. Seller shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on November 28, 2016 (such day, the “Seller Response Date”) in which to notify Purchaser that (i) Seller will cure the Title Objection Notice exceptions from title or, if applicable, cure the matters as shown on the Survey on or before the Closing Date; provided, that in no event shall Seller be obligated hereunder to effect such a cure, or (ii) Seller elects not to cause such exceptions or matters to be cured. If Seller fails to notify Purchaser of its election by the Seller Response Date, then Seller shall be deemed to have given notice under clause (ii) above. If Seller gives (or is deemed to have given) notice under clause (ii) above, then Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Review Period in which to notify Seller and the Title Company that (x) Purchaser will nevertheless proceed with the Transaction and take title to the Real Property subject to such exceptions and such matters without reduction of the Purchase Price, or (y) Purchaser is terminating this Agreement. If Purchaser does not provide any notice contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to take title to the Real Property pursuant to clause (x) above. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to clause (y), then this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, no party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for rights, liabilities or obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement), and the Title Company shall immediately return the Earnest Money to Purchaser. If Seller elects to cure the Title Objection Notice exceptions from title or to cure the matters as shown on the Survey, the Seller will use good faith efforts to do so. After the title review, objection and response periods, provided that this Agreement has not been terminated, Purchaser may seek to obtain from the Title Company a proforma policy of title insurance acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion, issued by the Title Company in accordance with the updated Title Commitment showing Purchaser as the insured thereunder in the amount of the Purchase Price and being subject only to (1) all real estate taxes and assessments due and payable after the date of Closing, (2) the rights of tenants under the Leases, as tenants only, (3) the encumbrances or exceptions to title shown on the Title Commitment to which Purchaser does not object pursuant to the terms hereof or which are otherwise allowed pursuant to this Agreement or which with Purchaser’s consent are waived and accepted, and (4) any matters shown on the Survey to which Purchaser does not object pursuant to the terms hereof or which are otherwise allowed pursuant to this Agreement or which with Purchaser’s consent are waived and accepted and expressly excluding (i) the “standard” exceptions, (ii) Monetary Liens (as defined below), and (iii) taxes and assessments with respect to Seller and/or the Real Property which are past due as of Closing (the “Proforma Policy”) and shall seek the Title Company’s irrevocable commitment to issue the Title Policy in accordance with the Proforma Policy.

3.3           Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3 to the contrary, (a) Purchaser shall have no obligation to object to any mortgages, deeds of trust, mechanic’s liens, materialmen’s liens or judgment liens, excluding any of the foregoing monetary liens caused by or resulting from the acts of tenants or Purchaser (collectively, “Monetary Liens”), and all Monetary Liens are hereby deemed title objections, (b) Seller shall be obligated to satisfy, release, and discharge all Monetary Liens encumbering the Property on or before the Closing Date (provided, however, that if Monetary Liens are paid off as of Closing and the Title Company insures over such Monetary Liens as of Closing, the recordable release may be delivered after Closing so long as Seller uses diligent efforts to obtain such releases as soon as practicable after Closing) regardless of whether Purchaser specifically objects to them, and (c) except as provided in clause (b) above, Seller shall have no obligation to take any steps, bring any action or proceeding or incur any effort or expense whatsoever to eliminate, modify or cure any objection Purchaser may have pursuant to this Section 3 or otherwise.

 

3.4           To the extent that Purchaser may elect, at its option, to request the Title Company to issue endorsements to Purchaser’s owner’s policy of title insurance to be issued pursuant to the Title Commitment (the “Title Policy”), (i) the issuance of such endorsements shall be solely at Purchaser’s cost and expense unless Seller specifically agreed to provide any such endorsement to cure or remove a title or survey defect in response to Purchaser’s Title Objection Notice, and (ii) no such endorsements shall be a pre-condition to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Transaction.

Purchaser shall bear the cost of all such inspections, tests, investigations, or studies. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, in the event that (x) the phase I environmental site assessment of the Real Property that Purchaser shall obtain during its investigation of the Property (i) shall recommend that a phase II environmental site assessment of the Real Property be conducted, and (ii) indicates the existence of a recognized environmental condition at the Real Property, and (y) Purchaser delivers to Seller a proposal by Purchaser’s environmental consultant indicating the scope of the phase II environmental site assessment (including the location of any borings to be located on the Real Property) and Seller consents to the same in accordance with this Section 4.1.2 prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then Purchaser shall have an additional fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the Review Period (the “Phase II Period”) to perform the phase II environmental site assessment in accordance with the approved proposal. If the phase II environmental site assessment finds contamination on, at, under or migrating from the Real Property in excess of applicable state or federal commercial/industrial regulatory limits, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Phase II Period, in which event this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder except those that expressly survive termination.

At Seller’s election, Seller may designate and notify Purchaser in writing of the name of a representative of Seller to accompany Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives while on the Property, in which event Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives shall not enter onto the Property unless so accompanied.

 7 

 

 

4.3.1           Seller shall have obtained and delivered to Purchaser at least one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date an Estoppel Certificate executed by (i) Publix Super Markets, Inc. (“Major Tenant”), and (ii) other tenants of the Property under Leases which shall be in effect at Closing such that the Estoppel Certificates from such other tenants collectively cover at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the area leased by tenants (other than Major Tenant) under Leases of the Property as of the Closing Date (the “Estoppel Threshold”). As used herein, “Estoppel Certificate” shall mean a certificate (i) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1, such other form as required by the applicable Lease, or such form standardly used by any tenant, and (ii) that (a) does not allege any pending or threatened defaults or unperformed material obligation of Seller, defects or material issues with respect to the Property, or other facts contrary in any material respect to the facts contained in the Leases, and (b) is dated no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller’s failure to obtain a sufficient number of Estoppel Certificates to reach the Estoppel Threshold at least one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date (the “Estoppel Condition”) shall not be a default under this Agreement. Seller shall use diligent, commercially reasonable good-faith efforts to obtain from, and deliver to Purchaser, Estoppel Certificates from all tenants.

 

With respect to any tenants for which Seller is unable to obtain an Estoppel Certificate by the date that is one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date (other than Major Tenant) sufficient to reach the seventy-five percent (75%) threshold for tenants other than Major Tenant provided herein, Seller, in its sole discretion, shall have the option of delivering and executing at Closing an estoppel certificate (a “Seller Estoppel”) confirming, with respect to the applicable tenant Lease, the lease documents and additional agreements, financial terms, and no defaults (except as set forth on Exhibit I-2 hereto), in generally the same form as the Estoppel Certificate that was to be obtained from the tenant hereunder with the applicable lease information completed therein, which Seller Estoppel shall survive the Closing for the Survival Period (as hereinafter defined). If Seller obtains an Estoppel Certificate from a tenant after a Seller Estoppel has been provided to satisfy the Estoppel Threshold, the Seller Estoppel shall be deemed retracted and Purchaser may only rely on the substituted Estoppel Certificate. This Section 4.3.1 shall survive the Closing of this Agreement and shall not merge into the deed.

 

4.3.2           As of the Closing Date, none of the following shall exist or shall have been commenced against or with respect to Seller: (a) commencement of a case under Title 11 of the U.S. Code or under any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy or similar law; (b) appointment of a trustee or receiver of any property interest; (c) an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (d) an attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of a substantial property interest; or (e) a dissolution or liquidation.

 

4.3.3           Seller shall have performed, observed and complied in all material respects with all of the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, observed and complied with by Seller at or prior to Closing, including, without limitation, the delivery of the items described in Section 5.2.

 

4.3.4           All of Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Section 9.1 shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and remain true and correct as of the Closing Date, subject to any Disclosure Notices (as hereinafter defined).

4.3.5           The absence as of Closing of a Material Adverse Change. A Material Adverse Change is defined as “the Major Tenant ceases operating from the Real Property, terminates its Lease and/or files for protection from its creditors under the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any similar state equivalent and/or announces that it shall be so ceasing operations, terminating its Lease and/or filing for such protection”.

4.3.7           Major Tenant shall have either (a) delivered on or before the Closing a written waiver of its right of first offer with respect to the Property (the “ROFO”), or, (b) after having received the requisite written notice of this Agreement in the form required, allowed the period during which Major Tenant was entitled to exercise its right of first offer to pass without exercising such right on or before Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser agree that that certain waiver letter from Major Tenant, dated as of October 26, 2016, is sufficient to satisfy the condition set forth in this Section 4.3.7 for the Transaction as contemplated by the specific terms of this Agreement.

 

4.3.8           Seller shall have obtained and delivered to Purchaser the FFY Lease executed by FFY (as hereinafter defined) upon the terms and conditions set forth in the LOI attached hereto as Exhibit 4.3.8.

 

4.4           Conditions Precedent – Seller. It shall be conditions precedent to Seller’s obligation to sell the Property to Purchaser that (i) Purchaser shall have performed, observed and complied in all material respects with all of the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, observed and complied with by Purchaser at or prior to Closing, including, without limitation, the delivery of the items described in Section 5.3, (ii) all of Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained in Section 9.3 shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and remain true and correct as of the Closing Date, (iii) Major Tenant has either delivered on or before the Closing a waiver of its ROFO, or, after having received the requisite written notice of this Agreement, has allowed the period during which Major Tenant was entitled to exercise its ROFO to pass without exercising such right (provided, however, that Seller and Purchaser agree that that certain waiver letter from Major Tenant, dated as of October 26, 2016, is sufficient to satisfy the condition set forth in this Section 4.4(iii) for the Transaction as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement).

4.5           Failure of Condition Precedent. If any condition set forth in Section 4.3 above is not satisfied by Seller or waived by Purchaser in writing at or prior to Closing, then (a) if Seller’s default is a cause of such failure, Purchaser shall have the rights set forth in Section 8.1, and (b) if Seller’s default is not the cause of such failure, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Seller, at which time the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further rights, liabilities or obligations under this Agreement, except for those that expressly survive termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller or Purchaser may extend the Closing Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days by written notice to the other party to permit Seller additional time to attempt to satisfy any condition in Section 4.3 that is not satisfied as of the Closing Date. If any condition set forth in Section 4.4 is not satisfied by Purchaser or waived by Seller at or prior to Closing, then Seller shall have the rights set forth in Section 8.2.

Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 5.4 above, all taxes and assessments shall be prorated based (i) on the parties’ respective periods of ownership, and (ii) on the most recent ascertainable tax bill if the current bill is not then available and based upon the maximum discount rate allowed in the applicable jurisdiction. To the extent that the actual taxes and assessments for the current year differ from the amount apportioned at Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.8 of this Agreement. Any and all refunds, credits, or increases respecting the amount of any real property taxes or other taxes or assessments charged in connection with the Property related to the period prior to the Closing Date shall belong to Seller and those related to the Closing Date and later shall belong to Purchaser. To the extent that any tenant pays its real property tax and assessment obligations directly to the taxing authority, the portion of real property taxes and assessments attributable to such tenant shall not be prorated hereunder and Purchaser shall not receive a credit at Closing with respect thereto. Except as set forth herein, taxes and assessments, special and otherwise, which are a lien against the Real Property and which are due and payable on or prior to the date of Closing, and any other taxes which are assessed and due or owing by Seller with respect to the period prior to the date of Closing, shall be paid (or caused to be paid) by Seller at or prior to Closing.

5.8           Post-Closing Proration. Except as otherwise provided herein, any expense amount which cannot be ascertained with certainty as of Closing (and for which Seller and Purchaser are unable to adjust and/or allocate at or prior to Closing) shall be prorated on the basis of the parties’ reasonable estimates of such amount. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate and use good faith diligent efforts to prepare a reconciliation statement and final proration statement within one hundred fifty (150) days after the end of the year in which Closing occurs. Upon Seller’s and Purchaser’s mutual approval of the reconciliation statement, Seller shall pay Purchaser, or Purchaser shall pay Seller, as the case may be, for any adjustments that need to be made as against the Closing Statement. With respect to any reproration of expense contributions, real estate tax contributions and other Tenant reimbursements and additional rent (including common area maintenance or other operating cost pass-throughs reimbursements) payable by Tenants to Seller pursuant to the Leases (collectively, the “Tenant Contributions”), such reproration shall not be made on the basis of a per diem method of allocation, but shall instead be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser on the basis of the relative share of actual expenses in question incurred by Seller and Purchaser during the calendar year in question. Seller covenants to provide Purchaser with any information, books or records necessary to finalize such calculation. To the extent any Tenants are due refunds as a result of the post-Closing reconciliation performed by Purchaser, Seller shall pay to Purchaser Seller’s pro rata portion of such refunds with respect to periods prior to Closing within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor from Purchaser; provided, Seller’s pro rata portion shall be reduced by any amounts which may have been credited to Purchaser at Closing with respect to such refunds owed to Tenants. To the extent any additional amounts are due from Tenants with respect to periods prior to Closing, Purchaser shall promptly pay to Seller its pro rata share of such reimbursements or percentage rents to the extent actually collected by Purchaser from such Tenants after Closing.

5.9           Third Party Payments. Notwithstanding any term, condition or provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any of the amounts which are allocable between the Seller and Purchaser as set forth in Sections 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6, above that are payable by any tenant directly to a third party shall not be apportioned hereunder, and (i) Purchaser shall accept fee simple title to the Property subject to any of such amounts unpaid and Purchaser shall look solely to the tenant responsible therefor for the payment of same, and (ii) if Seller shall have paid any of such amounts on behalf of any tenant, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, upon receipt of such amounts from such Tenant, Purchaser shall promptly pay to Seller such amounts to the extent the amounts paid are attributable to periods from and after the Closing Date to the extent actually collected by Purchaser from such tenant after Closing.

 

5.10         Leasing Commissions and Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall be responsible for all Leasing Costs (as hereinafter defined) that are payable by reason of (i) the execution of a Lease which occurs prior to the Effective Date (an “Existing Lease”), (ii) the exercise by a tenant of any renewal, extension, expansion or other option under an Existing Lease, which exercise occurs prior to the Effective Date, (iii) any amendment of an Existing Lease entered into prior to the Effective Date, and (iv) the execution of the FFY Lease, regardless of whether the FFY Lease is executed prior to or after the Effective Date.  Purchaser and Seller shall be responsible for all Leasing Costs that become due and payable as a result of (1) any Leases first entered into on or after the Effective Date (“New Leases”), (2) amendments to Leases entered into after the Effective Date to renew, extend, expand or otherwise amend Existing Leases or New Leases, and (3) the exercise by a tenant of any renewal, extension, expansion or other option under an Existing Lease, which exercise occurs on or after the Effective Date (all such Leasing Costs incurred with respect to each of the foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3) being herein collectively called the “Shared Leasing Costs”), in each case prorated as follows:  (i) Seller’s portion shall be equal to the Shared Leasing Costs times a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the amount of fixed rent due and payable during the term of such New Lease, amendment, renewal, extension or expansion described above, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be equal to the total amount of the fixed rent payable during the term of such New Lease, amendment, renewal, extension or expansion, and (ii) Purchaser’s portion shall be equal to the balance of the Shared Leasing Costs payable in respect of each such New Lease, amendment, renewal, extension or expansion described above.  Purchaser shall assume the economic effect of any “free rent” or other rent concessions pertaining to the period from and after the Closing under (x) any New Lease, (y) any amendments to Leases entered into after the Effective Date to renew, extend, expand or otherwise amend Existing Leases or New Leases, and (z) any exercise by a tenant of any renewal, extension, expansion or other option under an Existing Lease, which exercise occurs on or after the Effective Date.  For purposes hereof, “Leasing Costs” shall mean, with respect to a particular Lease, all capital costs, expenses incurred for capital improvements, equipment, painting, decorating, partitioning and other items to satisfy the construction obligations of the landlord under such Lease (including any expenses incurred for architectural or engineering services in respect of the foregoing), “tenant allowances” in lieu of or as reimbursements for the foregoing items, payments made for purposes of satisfying or terminating the obligations of the tenant under such Lease to the landlord under another lease (i.e., lease buyout costs), relocation costs, temporary leasing costs, leasing commissions, brokerage commissions, legal, design and other professional fees and costs, in each case, to the extent the landlord is responsible for the payment of such cost or expense under the relevant Lease or any other agreement relating to such Lease.  If, as of the Closing Date, Seller shall have paid any Leasing Costs for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller therefor at Closing.  Seller shall pay (or cause to be paid), prior to Closing, or credit Purchaser at Closing (to the extent unpaid) all Leasing Costs for which any Seller is responsible pursuant to the foregoing provisions.

Seller shall be solely responsible for, and Purchaser shall have no obligations whatsoever with respect to, any costs or expenses in connection with the collection of any amounts due to Seller from tenants or other third parties that are to be prorated at Closing but for which Seller has not received payment by Closing.

To the extent any tenants are due refunds as a result of such Tenant Audits, Seller shall pay such amounts as are attributable to the period of its ownership of the Property (not on the basis of a per diem method of allocation but instead on the basis of the relative share of actual expenses in question incurred by Seller during the calendar year in question), and Purchaser shall pay such amounts as are attributable to the period of its ownership of the Property (not on the basis of a per diem method of allocation but instead on the basis of the relative share of actual expenses in question incurred by Purchaser during the calendar year in question).

6.             CASUALTY LOSS AND CONDEMNATION.

 

6.1           If the Property is damaged by fire, storm, or other casualty prior to Closing, Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser in writing of the same (“Casualty Notice”) and if the cost of repairing such damage is estimated by a licensed architect selected by Seller:

 

6.1.1           to be equal to or less than TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($250,000), then Purchaser and Seller shall proceed with Closing as set forth herein without repair of the casualty damage and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the deductible under Seller’s property casualty insurance coverage for the Property and Seller shall absolutely assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to all insurance proceeds from any insurance on the Property (including any rent loss insurance allocable to the period from and after Closing and less amounts used, after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s prior written consent to the same, for reasonable repairs, provided that no such prior written consent shall be required for repairs necessitated by emergency) that may thereafter be paid for such damage or destruction.

 

 17 

 

 

6.1.2           to be greater than TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($250,000), or, in the event that as a result of such casualty Major Tenant has the right to terminate its Lease, then, notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, either (i) Purchaser may (as its sole and exclusive remedy) terminate this Agreement by giving notice to such effect to Seller within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Casualty Notice (in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and, except for rights, liabilities and obligations that expressly survive termination, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement) or (ii) Purchaser may proceed with Closing as set forth herein without repair of the casualty damage and receive an absolute assignment of Seller’s rights, title and interest in any such casualty proceeds (including all rights, title and interest of Seller in and to all insurance proceeds from Seller’s insurance covering the Property, including any rent loss insurance allocable to the period from and after Closing and less amounts used, after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s prior written consent to the same, for reasonable repairs, provided that no such prior written consent shall be required for repairs necessitated by emergency), and a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the deductible under Seller’s insurance coverage for the Property plus any amounts previously paid to Seller as insurance proceeds in connection with such casualty. The Closing Date, if necessary, shall be extended in order to provide Purchaser with the full ten (10) business days in which to elect to terminate following receipt of the Casualty Notice. Purchaser’s failure to give timely notice under Section 6.1.2(i) shall be deemed to be an election under Section 6.1.2(ii).

 

6.2           If notice of any action, suit or proceeding shall be given prior to Closing for the purpose of condemning any part of the Property, or if a Material Portion of the Real Property is taken by eminent domain or becomes subject to a taking by eminent domain or a deed in lieu of condemnation prior to Closing, Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser in writing of the same (the “Eminent Domain Notice”) and Purchaser must elect, within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Eminent Domain Notice (as its sole and exclusive remedy) to either (i) terminate this Agreement by giving notice to such effect to Seller (in which event, the Earnest Money shall be returned to the Purchaser, this Agreement shall terminate and, except for rights, liabilities and obligations that expressly survive termination, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement), or (ii) proceed with Closing as set forth herein and accept title to the Real Property subject to such taking or proceeding together with an assignment of all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and to any proceedings, and proceeds or compensation that remain unpaid to Seller in connection with such taking and a credit against the Purchase Price for any amounts previously paid to Seller as condemnation proceeds or compensation in connection with such taking. The Closing Date, if necessary, shall be extended in order to provide Purchaser with the full ten (10) business days in which to elect to terminate following receipt of the Eminent Domain Notice. Purchaser’s failure to give timely notice under Section 6.2(i) shall be deemed to be an election under Section 6.2(ii). As used herein, “Material Portion” shall mean that such taking by eminent domain or a deed in lieu of condemnation, (a) would reduce the value of the Real Property by TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($250,000) or more, (b) would allow Major Tenant to terminate its Lease, (c) would permanently reduce the parking ratio at the Property below current zoning requirements or the requirements set forth in Major Tenant’s Lease; or (d) which would permanently impede in any material way any of the vehicular access points into the Real Property through the condemnation (or the tendering of a deed in lieu thereof) of any such access points or through the permanent closure or material reduction in the utility of any of the roadways adjoining the Real Property or in proximity to the Real Property (e.g., the reduction of the number of lanes within a roadway servicing the Real Property or the actual closure of any such roadway). In the event a portion of the Real Property that is not a Material Portion is taken or to be taken by eminent domain or becomes subject to a taking by eminent domain or a deed in lieu of condemnation prior to Closing, then Purchaser and Seller shall proceed with Closing as set forth herein and Purchaser shall accept title to the Real Property subject to such taking or proceeding, together with an assignment of all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and to any proceedings, and proceeds or compensation that remain unpaid to Seller in connection with such taking and shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for any amounts previously paid to Seller as condemnation proceeds or compensation in connection with such taking.

 

 18 

 

 

7.             BROKERAGE. Seller and Purchaser represent and warrant that the only broker they have used in connection with this transaction is HFF (“Broker”). If and only if Closing occurs, Seller agrees to pay any and all brokerage commission or other fees due to Broker pursuant to a separate agreement for services rendered in connection with the sale and purchase of the Property and Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any liability in connection with any and all brokerage commission or other fees due to Broker. Seller and Purchaser shall each indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims of all other brokers and finders claiming by, through or under the indemnifying party and in any way related to the sale and purchase of the Property, this Agreement or otherwise, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with such claim. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that Broker shall not make and Broker has no authority to make on behalf of Seller any representations regarding the Property or its condition, use or cost. This Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

8.             DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

 

8.1           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Seller fails to perform any of its obligations or agreements contained herein prior to Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and fails to cure such default within five (5) business days following written notice thereof from Purchaser, then, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, Purchaser shall elect either: (i) to terminate this Agreement, in which event, the Title Company shall immediately return the Earnest Money to Purchaser, and, Seller shall within 10 days after receipt of a reasonably detailed statement therefor from Purchaser, together with reasonable supporting documentation evidencing such costs and expenses, reimburse to Purchaser all third party out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the Transaction, up to a maximum of $30,000.00, including reasonable legal fees and due diligence expenses, and upon such termination and payment of such reimbursement, neither party shall have any further rights, liabilities or obligations under this Agreement (except for those that expressly survive termination), or (ii) to enforce specific performance of this Agreement, provided that any suit for specific performance must be brought within thirty (30) days after Seller’s default, failing which, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to specific performance to the maximum extent permitted by law. In the event specific performance is not available to Purchaser because Seller has sold, transferred, or otherwise conveyed the Property to a bona fide third party in breach of this Agreement, then, in the event of termination of this Agreement by Purchaser, in addition to the return of the Earnest Money to Purchaser and payment of such reimbursement amount as aforesaid up to a maximum of $30,000.00, Seller shall, within five (5) business days thereafter, pay to Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the amount of the Earnest Money, the same being deemed Purchaser’s damages on account thereof, the exact amount of damages to be suffered by Purchaser on account of any such default being difficult if not impossible to ascertain and Purchaser and Seller agreeing that such amount is a reasonable approximation of the damages to be suffered by Purchaser on account thereof.

 

 19 

 

 

8.2           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Purchaser fails to perform any of its obligations or agreements contained herein in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and fails to cure such default within five (5) business days following written notice thereof from Seller (provided, however, that no cure period shall extend into 2017 for Purchaser’s failure to close on the Closing Date), then Seller, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder may terminate this Agreement and receive the Earnest Money as liquidated damages, and upon such termination, neither party shall have any further rights, liabilities or obligations under this Agreement (except for those that expressly survive termination). The parties acknowledge and agree that the actual damages in the event of a default by Purchaser are uncertain in amount and difficult to ascertain, and that the Earnest Money, as a liquidated damages amount, is reasonable.

 

8.3           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall either party hereto be liable for, and each party, on behalf of itself and its respective successors and assigns, hereby waives any claim against the other for, any consequential, special, indirect, or punitive damages arising under or in connection with this Agreement.

 

8.4           The provisions of this Section shall not limit Purchaser’s or Seller’s right to pursue and recover on a claim with respect to any of obligations surviving the Closing.

 

9.             REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

 

9.1           Representations and Warranties of Seller. As of the Effective Date, Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:

 

9.1.1           Seller is a limited liability company, duly formed, validly existing and in good standing, and is qualified to do business under, the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

9.1.2           Seller is the sole owner of the Property and has the right to execute this Agreement and, except for the rights of Major Tenant to purchase the Property pursuant to the terms of its Lease, to sell the Property without obtaining the consent, approval, release, or signature of any other party. Seller has full power, right and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Seller’s Closing Documents and bind Seller hereto. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and Seller’s Closing Documents by Seller and the signatories hereof have been duly and properly authorized by proper limited liability company action in accordance with applicable law and with the operating agreement of Seller such that this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms.

 

 20 

 

 

9.1.3           To Seller’s knowledge, Seller has not received from any governmental authority written notice of any violation of any building, fire, health code, environmental, zoning ordinance or the Americans with Disabilities Act or any other federal, state or local statute, ordinance, rule or other law (collectively referred to herein as “Applicable Laws”) that remains uncured and would be applicable to the Property.

 

9.1.4           Attached hereto as Exhibit C is a true and complete listing of all union, maintenance, service, brokerage, advertising and other like contracts and agreements to which Seller is a party affecting the ownership and operation of the Property (collectively, the “Service Contracts”). Other than as set forth in the Service Contracts, Seller has not contracted for any services or employment at the Real Property. Seller has made no commitments or obligations therefor which will bind Purchaser as a successor-in-interest with respect to the Real Property.

 

9.1.5           Exhibit I-1 is a rent roll which is a true and correct list of all leases in effect at the Property (the “Leases”), except for those listed as “Deep Green” and “Divisions Maintenance Group”. To Seller’s knowledge, except as disclosed on Exhibit I-2, the rent roll truly, accurately, fully and completely sets forth the information to be contained therein, the Leases are in full force and effect, no tenant is in default under any Lease, and Seller has not received written notice that Seller is in default under any Lease. To Seller’s knowledge, the Leases delivered to Purchaser by Seller are all of the lease documents and/or occupancy agreements with respect to the Real Property in Seller’s possession and are true, accurate and complete copies of the Leases in Seller’s possession. To Seller’s knowledge, none of the tenants under the Leases have any options or rights of first refusal to acquire the Real Property except for Major Tenant.

 

9.1.6           Except as set forth on Exhibit L attached hereto (the “Pending Litigation List”), Seller has not received written notice of any litigation, arbitration, mediation, action, suit, investigation, proposed condemnation or any other proceeding of any kind pending, or to Seller’s knowledge, threatened or contemplated against the Property.

 

9.1.7           Seller and all persons or entities having beneficial interests in the Property are “United States Persons,” and are not “foreign persons”, “foreign partnerships,” “foreign trusts,” or “foreign estates” as defined in Section 1445(f)(3) and Section 7701(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the purchase of the Property by Purchaser as contemplated herein will not be subject to the withholding requirements of Section 1445(a) of the Code.

 

9.1.8           The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Seller’s Closing Documents and the consummation of the Transaction will not result in any breach of the terms of, conditions of, or constitute a default under, any instrument or obligation by which Seller or the Property is bound, or violate any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court in any litigation or statute, rule or regulation which is applicable to Seller or to the Property.

 

 21 

 

 

9.1.9           Seller is not a person or entity that and shall not be a person or entity that: (i) is acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of terrorists or terrorist organizations, including those persons or entities that are included on any of the applicable lists issued by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”); (ii) resides or has a place of business in a country or territory named on any of such lists or which is designated as a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction by the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (“FATF”); (iii) is a “Foreign Shell Bank” within the meaning of the USA Patriot Act; or (iv) resides in or is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction designated by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury under Sections 311 or 312 of the USA Patriot Act as warranting special measures due to money laundering concerns. Seller is not engaging in such transaction, directly or indirectly, in violation of any Laws relating to drug trafficking, money laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering. The investment of direct or indirect equity owners in Seller is not prohibited by applicable law and neither the transaction contemplated hereby nor this Agreement is or will be in violation of applicable law. Seller has and will continue to implement procedures, and has consistently and will continue consistently to apply those procedures, to ensure the foregoing representations and warranties remain true and correct at all times prior to Closing.

 

9.1.10         Except as set forth in the Leases, no tenants of the Real Property are entitled to any concessions, rebates, allowances, or free rent or any other Leasing Costs for any period after the Closing. Except as set forth in Exhibit I-2, none of the Leases or other instruments that will be assigned to Purchaser at Closing provide for leasing or brokerage commissions payable by the owner of the Property that have not yet been paid by Seller.

 

9.1.11         Seller has no employees at the Real Property and is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement, and neither Seller nor any of its affiliates (as described in Section 414(b), (c) and (m) of the Internal Revenue Code) has incurred any liability which could subject Purchaser or any asset to be acquired by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement to any lien or material liability under Sections 302(f), 4062, 4063, 4064, 4201 or 4301(b) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 401(a) (29) or 412 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

9.1.12         Seller has no knowledge that Major Tenant intends to cease operations from the Real Property. To the extent Seller obtains such knowledge during the term of this Agreement prior to Closing, Seller shall promptly inform Purchaser of the same, failing of which, the same shall be deemed a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.

 

9.1.13         Seller has not received written notice from any counterparty to the REA that Seller or the Property is in default under the REA.

 

9.1.14         The operating budget, operating statements, general ledgers, capital budgets, reconciliation statements and all other financial statements delivered or to be delivered or made available for review and copying by Seller to Purchaser, are used by Seller in the ordinary course of Seller’s business.

 

9.2           Seller’s Knowledge. When used in this Agreement, the term “to Seller’s knowledge” (a) shall mean and be limited to the actual (and not imputed, implied or constructive) current knowledge, without duty of inquiry, of Christian Trani, Asset Manager (the “Knowledge Individual”) and not to any other persons or entities, and (b) shall not apply to or be construed to apply to information or material which may be in the possession of Seller generally or incidentally, but which is not actually known to the Knowledge Individual. Similarly, any reference to any written notice, claim, litigation, filing or other correspondence or transmittal to Seller set forth herein shall be limited to refer to only those actually received by or known to the Knowledge Individual in the limited manner provided in clauses (a) - (b) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Knowledge Individual shall have no personal liability whatsoever with respect to any matters set forth in this Agreement or any of Seller’s representations and/or warranties herein being or becoming untrue, inaccurate or incomplete.

 

 22 

 

 

9.3           Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. As of the Effective Date, Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller as follows:

 

9.3.1           Purchaser is a limited liability company, duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware;

 

9.3.2           Purchaser has full power, right and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Purchaser have been duly and properly authorized by proper limited liability company action in accordance with applicable law and with the governing documents of Purchaser, such that this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

 

9.3.3           Purchaser is not a person or entity that and shall not be a person or entity that: (i) is acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of terrorists or terrorist organizations, including those persons or entities that are included on any of the applicable lists issued by OFAC; (ii) resides or has a place of business in a country or territory named on any of such lists or which is designated as a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction by FATF; (iii) is a “Foreign Shell Bank” within the meaning of the USA Patriot Act; or (iv) resides in or is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction designated by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury under Sections 311 or 312 of the USA Patriot Act as warranting special measures due to money laundering concerns; and

 

9.3.4           The execution and delivery of this Agreement and all other documents executed by Purchaser in connection with the Transaction, and the consummation of the Transaction will not result in any breach of the terms of, conditions of, or constitute a default under, any instrument or obligation by which Purchaser is bound, or violate any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court in any litigation to which Purchaser is a party.

 

9.4           Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 9 shall be deemed to be remade as of Closing and shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the deed for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”). Notice of any claim as to a breach of any representation or warranty must be made to Seller (or to Purchaser, as applicable) prior to the expiration of such Survival Period. Provided notice is sent within such Survival Period, the party making the claim shall have until the later of (x) thirty (30) days after the non-claiming party provides written notice of its denial of the claim, or (y) thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Survival Period to commence an action with respect to the claim. If an action is not commenced within the applicable 30-day period above, the claiming party will be deemed to have waived its right to assert such claim.

 

 23 

 

 

9.5           Modifications of Representations and Warranties. If at any time after the Effective Date and prior to Closing, either Purchaser or Seller becomes aware of information that causes a representation and warranty contained in Section 9.1 or Section 9.3 to become untrue in any material respect, said party shall promptly disclose said information in writing to the other party hereto (a “Disclosure Notice”). If Closing occurs, such representations and warranties shall be deemed qualified and amended as set forth in the Disclosure Notice (and, in such event, Seller shall no longer have any liability hereunder with respect to that portion of the representation, warranty or certification superseded herein). Further, all representations and warranties of Seller are deemed updated by virtue of the contents and disclosures set forth in any Estoppel Certificate delivered to Purchaser in connection with this Agreement.

 

9.6           Purchaser Knowledge. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, all of the representations, warranties and certifications (collectively, the “Representations”) which are made by Seller and set forth herein or in any of the documents or instruments required to be delivered by Seller hereunder, shall be subject to the following conditions and limitations: (a) there shall be no liability on the part of Seller for any breach of a Representation arising from any matter or circumstance of which Purchaser had knowledge at Closing (including matters and circumstances described in any Disclosure Notice); and (b) in the event that prior to the time of Closing, during the course of Purchaser’s inspections, studies, tests and investigations conducted pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, or through other sources (including any Disclosure Notice), Purchaser gains knowledge of a fact or circumstance which, by its nature, indicates that a Representation was or has become untrue or inaccurate, and such fact or circumstance was not intentionally withheld from Purchaser by Seller with the intent to defraud Purchaser, then Purchaser shall not have the right to bring any lawsuit or other legal action against Seller, nor pursue any other remedies against Seller, as a result of the breach of the Representation caused thereby, but Purchaser’s sole and exclusive right and remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations to the other party hereunder, except for the obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that such right of termination shall not be available for breaches of Representations that have no material impact on the value of the Property. The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that none of Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants herein may be relied on by the Title Company, whether by subrogation or otherwise.

 

9.7           Limitation on Liability. Purchaser agrees that its sole remedies with respect to any untruth or inaccuracy of Seller’s representations and warranties that are discovered after the Closing are set forth in this Section 9.7. Until the expiration of the Survival Period, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser of and from any and all losses, costs, liabilities, damages and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Purchaser on account of the breach by Seller of any one or more of the Representations. Purchaser’s failure to (i) deliver written notice to Seller asserting a claim, on or before the expiration of the Survival Period, and (ii) file suit in a court of competent jurisdiction with respect thereto in accordance with the time periods set forth in Section 9.4 above, shall be deemed a waiver and release of all claims for losses resulting from any breach of Seller’s representations and warranties that were first discovered by Purchaser after Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the amount of such losses, costs, liabilities, damages and expenses for which Seller shall be liable under this indemnification exceed, when aggregated together with all other losses for which Seller is liable pursuant to this Agreement, THREE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($350,000.00) (the “Maximum Loss Amount”). For purposes hereof, Purchaser agrees that unless the total aggregate damages incurred by Purchaser exceed TWENTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($20,000.00) (the “Floor”), Purchaser shall not make any claim against Seller in connection therewith and Seller shall have no liability in connection therewith, but for the avoidance of doubt, in the event damages exceed the Floor, Seller’s liability shall extend to the entire amount of Purchaser’s damages (not to exceed the Maximum Loss Amount). Kite Realty Group, L.P. (“Member”) hereby joins in the execution of this Agreement to evidence its guaranty of all sums due from Seller under the foregoing indemnity. This Section 9.7 shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the Survival Period, if Closing shall occur, and shall survive termination of this Agreement, if this Agreement is terminated.

The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive termination of this Agreement

 

12.           OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY

 

From the Effective Date until the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller shall own, manage and operate the Property in a manner consistent with past practices. Specifically, Seller hereby covenants and agrees to the following:

 

 27 

 

 

12.1         Seller may (subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 12.1 and Section 12.2), in the ordinary course and consistent with Seller’s current practices, negotiate with prospective tenants. Between the Effective Date and the date three (3) business days prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Seller may enter into any new written leases, contracts, easements or other agreements affecting the Property or its operation (or any modifications, renewals, supplements, terminations, extensions, side letters or other agreements relating to any existing Leases, contracts, easements or agreements) and shall provide Purchaser notice thereof, together with a copy of such lease, contract, easement or other agreement, on or before the date three (3) business days prior to the expiration of the Review Period. From and after the date three (3) business days prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Seller shall not enter into any new leases, contracts, easements or other agreements affecting the Property or its operation (or any modifications, renewals, supplements, terminations, extensions, side letters or other agreements relating to any existing Leases, contracts, easements or agreements), other than (a) any lease agreement or amendment or termination which is required pursuant to an existing Lease or memorializes an exercise of an existing right or option under an existing Lease, and (b) service contracts or other agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business and which are cancelable by Seller without penalty on or before the Closing Date, unless Seller obtains Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent, after the date three (3) business days prior to the expiration of the Review Period, may be given or denied in Purchaser’s sole discretion. In any case where Purchaser’s consent is required under this Section 12.1, if Purchaser does not respond to Seller’s consent request within five (5) business days of Seller’s request, Purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to the subject of the consent request. No rents or deposits with respect to the Property are or on the Closing Date will be held by Seller, except security deposits and prepaid rents for the current month.

 

12.2         Any leases consented to (or deemed consented to) by Purchaser pursuant to Section 12.1 shall constitute Leases for all purposes under this Agreement (and any references herein to the term “Leases” shall mean and include those consented to pursuant to Section 12.1) and shall be added to Exhibit I-2 attached hereto. Notwithstanding Section 12.1 of this Agreement, Seller shall have the unilateral right, in Seller’s sole but reasonable discretion, in an emergency situation to enter into any contract or agreement necessary to protect the Property and/or the persons thereon, provided that (a) Seller fully performs all obligations under such contract or agreement (monetary or non-monetary) and (b) the contract or agreement is terminated on or before the Closing Date.

 

12.3 Seller shall continue to offer the Property for lease in the same manner as currently conducted pursuant to its normal course of business and shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed as to the status of leasing prior to the Closing Date.

 

12.4         Seller shall conduct the business of the Property in the ordinary course and Seller shall not (i) sell, further pledge, or otherwise transfer or dispose of all or any part of any Property (except for such items of Personal Property as become obsolete or are disposed of in the ordinary course of business) or any direct interest in Seller, or enter into any agreement to do so; (ii) create or agree to any easements, liens, mortgages, encumbrances or other interests that would affect the Property or Seller’s ability to comply with this Agreement; (iii) fail to maintain and repair the Property in at least the manner that Seller has done previously; and/or (iv) terminate any tax appeals, condemnation awards proceedings, insurance settlement negotiations or proceedings, zoning changes, public roadway and/or traffic realignment negotiations with public authorities or the like, and/or storm water management agreements, and the like benefiting the Property. In the event that Seller receives any notices of violation of laws or municipal ordinances, regulations, orders or requirements of departments of housing, building, fire, labor, health, or other state, city or municipal departments or other governmental authorities having jurisdiction against or affecting the Property or the use or operation thereof, and Seller does not promptly comply with the same, Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement and, in such event this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder except those that expressly survive termination.

 

 28 

 

 

12.5         Seller shall terminate (or deliver written notice of termination with respect to) all Service Contracts so that all Service Contracts are terminated on or before the Closing Date.

 

12.6         Seller shall maintain in full force and effect its current or equivalent property insurance on the Property and shall give Purchaser prompt written notice of any fire or other casualty or any notice regarding condemnation, eminent domain or any other taking affecting the Property after the Effective Date.

 

12.7         Seller shall use best efforts to promptly deliver to Purchaser copies of any written communications (including e-mails, letters, invoices and the like) sent by Seller to, or received by Seller from, any tenants of the Property or service or materials providers to the Property relating to defaults, audits, repair requests, lease or other contract modifications, terminations, extensions, payment requests, and other similar communications of a material nature sent or received from and after the Effective Date up through the Closing.

 

13.           MISCELLANEOUS.

 

13.1         All prior understandings and agreements heretofore between Seller and Purchaser with respect to the Property are merged in this Agreement and Seller’s Closing Documents. This Agreement, Seller’s Closing Documents and Purchaser’s Closing Documents fully and completely express the agreement of the parties, there are no written or oral agreements between the parties relating to this transaction that are not expressly set forth herein and this Agreement supersedes all prior oral or written agreements relating to this Transaction. Purchaser further acknowledges that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the Seller’s Closing Documents, neither Seller nor Purchaser nor any agent or representative of such party has made, and Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, is not liable for or bound in any manner by, any express or implied warranties, guarantees, promises, statements, inducements, representations or information pertaining to the Property.

 

13.2         Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable without the prior written consent of Seller in Seller’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right, without the necessity of obtaining Seller’s consent but with prior written notice to Seller, to assign its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement to any subsidiary of either of its affiliates Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT I or Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT II or other entity that is wholly-owned or controlled by Purchaser or its principals, at any time before the Closing Date. Purchaser shall in no event by released from any of its obligations or liabilities hereunder in connection with any assignment. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon Seller and Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns.

 

13.3         This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except in a written document signed by Seller and Purchaser.

 

 29 

 

 

13.4         This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State, without reference to its choice of law principles.

 

13.5         Any notice required or permitted to be delivered hereunder shall be in writing and be deemed received when (i) personally delivered (including delivery via email, provided that such email specifically states that it is intended to be notice as required pursuant to Section 13.5 of this Agreement and delivery is confirmed), or (ii) one (1) business day after being deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier service, charges prepaid, and properly addressed for next-day delivery, addressed as follows:

13.6         WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. PURCHASER AND SELLER EACH DO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, OR UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE DOCUMENTS DELIVERED BY PURCHASER AT CLOSING OR SELLER AT CLOSING, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ANY ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY MANNER WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS OR DEFENSES ASSERTING THAT THIS AGREEMENT WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE). IN ADDITION, PURCHASER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO SEEK RESCISSION OF THE TRANSACTION. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR SELLER TO ENTER INTO AND ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS DELIVERED BY PURCHASER AT CLOSING AND SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING OR ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

13.7         Except as may be required by law, rule or regulation or court order, or in connection with the enforcement or defense to enforcement of this Agreement, or which is a matter of public record, without the prior written consent of Seller, Purchaser shall not disclose to any third party the existence of this Agreement or any term or condition thereof or the results of any inspections or studies undertaken in connection herewith. Purchaser agrees to keep confidential and not to use, other than in connection with its determination whether to proceed with the purchase of the Property in accordance with Section 4 hereof, any of the documents, material or information regarding the Property supplied to Purchaser by Seller or by any third party at the request of Seller, including, without limitation any environmental site assessment reports furnished to Purchaser, except Purchaser may share such documents, material and information with Purchaser’s consultants, agents, potential lenders and potential investors and joint venture partners on a “need to know” basis, unless Purchaser is compelled to disclose such documents, material or information by law or by subpoena. The foregoing confidentiality provisions and limitations of disclosure shall not apply with respect to any information which was lawfully in the possession of Purchaser prior to disclosure by Seller or is generally available to the public (other than as a result of wrongful Purchaser’s disclosure thereof). Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all losses, damages (but not consequential damages), claims and liabilities of any kind (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of Purchaser’s breach of this Section 13.7. In the event that the Closing does not occur in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser shall promptly destroy all of the documents, materials and information regarding the Property supplied to Purchaser by Seller or at the request of Seller, return such documents, materials and information to Seller. The provisions of this Section 13.7 shall survive termination of this Agreement. Upon Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall have the right to issue press releases, filings and other publicity concerning the transaction contemplated hereby, provided that any such press releases, filings or other publicity prior to Closing shall be subject to Seller’s and Purchaser’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

13.8         Intentionally omitted.

 

13.9         This Agreement or any notice or memorandum hereof shall not be recorded in any public record. A violation of this prohibition shall constitute a material breach by Purchaser, entitling Seller to terminate this Agreement.

 

 32 

 

 

13.10       Seller and Purchaser hereby designate Title Company to act as and perform the duties and obligations of “reporting person” with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement for purposes of 26 C.F.R Section 1.6045-4(e)(5) relating to the requirements for information reporting on real estate transactions closed on or after January 1, 1991. In this regard, Seller and Purchaser each agree to execute at Closing, and to cause the Title Company to execute at Closing, a Form 1099-S Statement, designating Title Company as the reporting person with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

 

13.11       The captions and headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not in any way limit, amplify, or otherwise modify the provisions of this Agreement.

 

13.12       If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never composed a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement.

 

13.13       Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be understood to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

 

13.14       No covenant, term or condition of this Agreement, other than as expressly set forth herein, shall be deemed to have been waived by Seller or Purchaser unless such waiver is in writing and executed by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be. A waiver by any party of a performance obligation or default under any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed (i) a waiver of a further obligation or default under the same provision or (ii) a waiver of an obligation or default under any other provision.

 

13.15       Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as authorizing Purchaser to apply for a zoning change, variance, subdivision maps, lot line adjustment, or other discretionary governmental act, approval or permit with respect to the Property prior to the Closing, and Purchaser agrees not to do so. Purchaser agrees not to submit any reports, studies or other documents, including plans and specifications, impact statements for water, sewage, drainage or traffic, environmental reports, or energy conservation checklists to any governmental agency prior to the Closing. Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property shall not be subject to or conditioned upon Purchaser’s obtaining any variances, zoning amendments, subdivision maps, lot line adjustment or other discretionary governmental act, approval or permit.

 

13.16       If an action by any party requires the consent or approval of another party, that consent or approval shall be given, if at all, in writing, and any consent or approval given in one instance shall not be deemed a consent or approval in any other instance.

 

13.17       Any list of examples set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to be illustrative, not exhaustive, unless explicitly specified otherwise. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa. The use of the neuter singular pronoun to refer to any party shall be a proper reference even though that party may be an individual, a business entity, or a group of two or more individuals or business entities. All attachments referenced within the Agreement shall be deemed incorporated in the Agreement by such reference.

PURCHASER AND SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THERE ARE NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND, ACCORDINGLY, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, NO THIRD PARTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY BROKER AND THE TITLE COMPANY) SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF SUCH THIRD PARTY OR AGAINST THE INTERESTS OF PURCHASER OR SELLER. EITHER OF SELLER OR PURCHASER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY ANY SUCH THIRD PARTY AGAINST SELLER OR PURCHASER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THE PARTIES’ INTENTIONS.

 

15.           TIME OF PERFORMANCE. Time is of the essence in this Agreement. In the event the provisions of this Agreement provide for the performance of an obligation by Purchaser or Seller on a day other than a business day, then the time for the performance of such obligation shall be automatically adjourned to the first (1st) business day immediately succeeding the day on which such obligation would otherwise be required to be performed. In the event the provisions of this Agreement provide that Purchaser or Seller shall have the right to adjourn the performance of an obligation by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, to a day that is other than a business day, then Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, shall have the right to adjourn the time for the performance of such obligation to the first (1st) business day immediately succeeding the day on which such adjourned obligation would otherwise be required to be performed. As used herein, the term “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or any day that is a federal holiday.

 

16.           COUNTERPART EXECUTION; EXECUTION BY FACSIMILE. This Agreement may be executed in more than one identical counterpart, each of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to be one (1) instrument.

17.           LEGAL REPRESENTATION. Each party hereto has been represented by legal counsel in connection with the negotiation of the transactions herein contemplated and the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement.

18.           NO SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SELLER AND PURCHASER. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that the relationship between Purchaser and Seller is solely a commercial relationship, and the execution of this Agreement by Purchaser and Seller shall not create (and neither Purchaser nor Seller intends to create) any relationship of principal and agent between Purchaser and Seller, or any partnership or joint venture relationship between Purchaser and Seller. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be deemed to be a fiduciary of the other party.

 

 34 

 

 

19.           ATTORNEYS’ FEES. If any action, suit, arbitration or other proceeding is instituted by any party to this Agreement for the purpose of interpreting any of the terms hereof or to prevent or remedy a default hereunder by any other party, for otherwise relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for all of such prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in each and every such action, suit, arbitration or other proceeding, including any and all appeals or petitions therefrom. As used in this paragraph, (i) “attorneys’ fees” shall be deemed to mean the reasonable, actual costs of any legal services actually performed in connection with the matters involved, calculated on the basis of the usual fee charged by the attorney and any paralegals and legal staff performing such service, and (ii) “prevailing party” includes, but is not limited to, a party who obtains legal counsel or brings any action against the other party by reason of an alleged breach or default and obtains substantially the relief sought, whether by compromise, settlement or judgment.

 

20.           FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party hereto agrees that, from and after the Closing, upon the reasonable request of the other party hereto and without further consideration, such party will execute and deliver to such other party such documents and further assurances and will take such other actions (without cost to such party) as such other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the purpose and intention of this Agreement, including, but not limited, to the effective consummation of the transactions contemplated under the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of the Section 20 shall survive the Closing.

 

21.           RADON GAS. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county health department.

 

22.           SEC FILINGS.

 

(a) Seller’s Filings. Seller has advised Purchaser that Seller may be required to file, in compliance with certain laws and regulations (including, without limitation, Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission), audited financial statements, proforma financial statements or other financial information related to the Property for the period of time related to its period of ownership of the Property (the “Financial Information”). Following Closing, Purchaser agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Seller and its representatives and agents (at Seller’s sole cost and expense and without any liability to Purchaser) in the preparation of the Financial Information for Seller’s benefit, including providing Seller with copies of or reasonable access to any books and records related to the Property that Seller may reasonably request after Closing, to the extent the same are in the possession or control of Purchaser. Furthermore, Purchaser agrees to provide any reasonably required representations to the auditors with respect to such Financial Information for Seller’s benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be required to incur any costs and expenses in connection with the preparation of such Financial Information for Seller’s benefit or its cooperation with Seller hereunder.

 35 

 

 

(b) Purchaser’s Filings.

Following the Closing, Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser and its representatives and agents (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and without any liability to Seller) in the preparation of the Financial Information; provided, however, Seller shall not be required to incur any out of pocket expenses or costs unless Purchaser reimburses Seller for the same. Seller shall maintain and allow access to, during normal business hours, such books and records of Seller and Seller’s manager of the Property reasonably related to the Property that Seller does not deem proprietary or confidential. Further, so long as the persons in charge of management of the Property at the time of Closing remains in the employ of Seller or an affiliate of Seller, Seller will make such persons available for interview.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide any information concerning (a) Seller’s capital structure or debt, (b) Seller’s financial analyses or projections, investment analyses, account summaries or other documents prepared solely for Seller’s internal purposes and not directly related to the operation of the Property, (c) Seller’s tax returns or (d) financial statements of Seller or any affiliate of Seller (other than Property-level financial statements).  Purchaser may not use the results of its review under this Section to pursue any claim against Seller under the terms of this Agreement.

23.           LIKE-KIND EXCHANGE. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the purchase and sale of the Property may be part of a tax-free exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code for either Seller or Purchaser. Each party hereby agrees to take all reasonable steps necessary before, on or after the Closing Date, to facilitate such exchange if requested by the other party at the sole cost of the exchanging party; provided, that the party making such accommodation shall not be required to acquire any substitute property or incur any cost, expense or other obligation in connection with such exchange, and provided, further, that the Closing shall not be delayed, impaired or complicated thereby. The cooperating party shall not be required to take title to or convey any real or personal property other than the Property, and the cooperating party shall only be required to execute the standard facilitator documents customarily utilized by qualified intermediaries (e.g. assignment of purchase agreement forms) and such other agreements which may be reasonably requested by the other party.

 

24.           NO ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES. The parties acknowledge that the purchase and sale of the Property involves only the purchase and sale of the Property and that Seller is not selling a business nor do the parties intend that Purchaser be deemed a successor of Seller with respect to any liabilities of Seller to any third parties other than the tenants under the Leases. Accordingly, Purchaser shall neither assume nor be liable for the Seller Debts or any of the debts, liabilities, taxes or obligations of, or claims against any other person or entity, of any kind or nature, whether existing now, upon Closing or at any time thereafter, which shall be solely those of Seller, and Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser against any loss, cost, liability, damage or expense with respect thereto. This Section 24 shall survive Closing for the Survival Period. Seller’s Debts is defined as “the following debts, liabilities, taxes, obligations and claims: (i) all payments and benefits owed to past and/or present employees of Seller in connection with the business being conducted on or from the Real Property as may have accrued through Closing, including, but not limited to, salaries, wages, commissions, bonuses, vacation pay, health and welfare contributions, pensions, profit sharing, severance or termination pay, or any other form of compensation or fringe benefit; (ii) all claims related to third-party lawsuits filed or threatened against Seller in connection with personal injury or property damage caused by Seller and occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to Closing; (iii) fines or penalties levied or assessed against Seller by a governmental authority for violations of laws committed by Seller at the Property with respect to the period prior to Closing, but specifically excluding any fines or penalties that are levied or assessed for violations of laws committed by a tenant or other third party (or for any violations of laws, the curing of which is a responsibility of a tenant under its Lease); and (iv) liabilities and obligations of Seller under the Service Contracts.”

 

 36 

 

 

25.           FURTHER COVENANT. Seller shall advise Purchaser of any knowledge Seller has or comes into with respect to (i) a Material Adverse Change prior to Closing, or (ii) one or more tenants ceasing operations from the Property.
