from the Lenders for all matters arising or accruing from and after the Closing under all existing guaranties and indemnities from Seller and its Affiliates related to the Existing Indebtedness (collectively, the “Seller Guaranties”), such release to be in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller (collectively, the “Seller Release”). As used herein, an “Affiliate” of a person is an entity controlling, controlled by, under common control with such person. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (a) in order to obtain the Seller Release, Purchaser may be required to provide guaranties and indemnities substantially similar in form and content to the Seller Guaranties from entities with creditworthiness acceptable to the Lenders (collectively, the “Replacement Guaranties”) and Purchaser agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to provide such Replacement Guaranties, and (b) in order to obtain the Consent, Purchaser may be required to provide the Lenders with opinions, assignments, and other documents and agreements similar to those provided by Seller, its Affiliates and the Transferred Companies in connection with the origination and servicing of the Existing Indebtedness or otherwise appropriate for the transactions contemplated by the Consent (collectively, the “Substitute Loan Documents”) and Purchaser agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to provide the Substitute Loan Documents. The Consent, the Seller Release, the Replacement Guaranties, the Substitute Loan Documents and any other documents reasonably required by the Lenders in connection with the Consent which are customary in transactions similar to the Consent are sometimes collectively referred to herein as, the “Consent Documentation.”  The Consent Documentation shall be reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith and shall use reasonable efforts to assist in obtaining each Consent; provided, however, that each party shall bear its own out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith and any fees, deposits, penalties, premiums, costs or expenses charged by the Lenders or for which the Lenders seek reimbursement including those of servicers and rating agencies (collectively, the “Consent Fees”) in connection with the Consent and/or the Consent Documentation shall be allocated as follows:  (i) Purchaser shall pay the first Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) of the Consent Fees and (ii) any Consent Fees remaining after such payment by Purchaser shall be divided equally by Seller and Purchaser and paid by the parties accordingly.

 

2.             TITLE AND SURVEY

 

2.1           Title Examination; Commitment for Title Insurance.

 

Prior to the date of this Agreement, Purchaser has obtained from the Escrow Agent or an affiliate thereof (in such capacity, the “Title Company”), an ALTA title insurance commitment dated July 13, 2007 (collectively, the “Title Commitment”) covering each Individual Property and a copy of each document referenced in the Title Commitment as an exception to title to each Individual Property. Prior to the date of this Agreement, the Seller has provided Purchaser a copy of the existing title insurance policies for each Individual Property.

 

2.2           Surveys. Prior to the date of this Agreement, Seller has delivered to Purchaser copies of the existing surveys for each Individual Property (collectively, the “Existing Surveys”). Prior to the date of this Agreement, Purchaser has ordered from a surveyor or surveying firm, licensed by the State of Illinois, an ALTA survey of each Individual Property (collectively, the “Surveys”) reflecting the total area of each

Individual Property, the location of all improvements, recorded easements and encroachments, if any, located thereon and other matters of record with respect thereto. Purchaser shall cause the surveyor to deliver a copy of each of the Surveys, and any revisions thereto, to Seller and the Title Company simultaneously with the delivery to Purchaser, which Surveys shall be certified to Seller, Purchaser and the Title Company.

 

2.3           Pre-Closing “Gap” Title Defects. Purchaser may, at or prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing of any (a) objections to title first arising between the effective date of Purchaser’s Title Commitment referred to above and the date on which the transaction contemplated herein is scheduled to close or (b) objections to survey matters first arising between the date of Existing Surveys and the date on which the transaction contemplated herein is scheduled to close. With respect to any objections to title or survey matters set forth in such notice, Seller and the Applicable Trust shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such objections, provided that Seller or the Applicable Trust, shall be obligated to satisfy or discharge any Seller Encumbrance with respect to the applicable Individual Property, other than Existing Indebtedness. Within ten (10) days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice of objections, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing whether Seller or the Applicable Trust elects to attempt to cure such objections. If Seller or the Applicable Trust elects to attempt to cure an item contained in a notice of objection from Purchaser or is obligated to cure a Seller Encumbrance, Seller or the Applicable Trust shall have until the date of Closing to attempt to remove, satisfy or cure the same, and for this purpose Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing if additional time is required, but in no event shall the adjournment exceed fifteen (15) Business Days after the date for Closing set forth in Section 4.1 hereof; provided, however, that Seller shall give not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Purchaser that Seller elects to extend the date of Closing in accordance with the terms of this sentence. If Seller or the Applicable Trust elects to attempt to cure an item contained in a notice of objection from Purchaser, then Seller or the Applicable Trust, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to cure such item. If Seller and the Applicable Trust elect not to cure any objections specified in Purchaser’s notice (other than with respect to a Seller Encumbrance), or if Seller and the Applicable Trust are unable to effect a cure prior to the Closing (or any date to which the Closing has been adjourned) (other than with respect to a Seller Encumbrance), Purchaser shall have the following options:  (i) to acquire the Shares, in which case Purchaser agrees that the Property shall be subject to any matter objected to by Purchaser which Seller is unwilling or unable to cure, without reduction of the Purchase Price; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement by sending written notice thereof to Seller, and upon delivery of such notice of termination, this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except to the extent that any right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives termination of this Agreement.

 

For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Seller Encumbrance” shall mean:  (i) a mortgage or deed of trust granted or voluntarily assumed by one of the Property LLCs (other than the Existing Indebtedness), (ii) real estate taxes for the Property which are due and payable and delinquent as of Closing or (iii) a judgment lien or a mechanics or suppliers lien on the Property as a result of a judgment against or for work performed for or

 

6



 

material supplied to Seller, the Transferred Companies, Illinois Manager, or the Property Managers prior to Closing, and not through any action or inaction of Purchaser or any tenant of the Property (references to tenant of the Property shall include a reference to subtenants of 10/120 Ground Lessee, in its capacity as a sublandlord) or any other person or entity. For the purposes of this Agreement, Seller and the Applicable Trust shall be deemed to have cured a Seller Encumbrance by causing the Title Company to insure over the underlying lien or by bonding over the lien in accordance with legal requirements in effect in the jurisdiction where the Individual Property is located in a manner to be approved by Purchaser, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, sufficient to allow the Title Company to issue the Title Policy required under Section 4.5 below.

 

3.             DUE DILIGENCE

 

3.1           Study Period.

 

Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. Dallas, Texas time on August 14, 2007 (the “Study Period”) to perform a feasibility study of the Transferred Companies, the Shares and the Property, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, including, but not limited to, review and approval of the physical and environmental characteristics and condition of the Property and performance of marketing and feasibility studies, structural and engineering investigations, tax returns, auditing of books and records of the Property, financial analyses and verification of existing zoning. Seller agrees to provide Purchaser and its agents and representatives, upon at least twenty-four (24) hours advance written notice, reasonable access to the Property during normal business hours, subject to the rights of tenants, and to all books, records, files, financial data, leases and contracts relating to the Property (except financial projections, budgets, appraisals, and similar proprietary, confidential or privileged documents, reports and records and internally prepared memoranda and reports) and to reasonably cooperate in such examinations and to cause the property manager to reasonably cooperate in such examinations following the Effective Date for the purpose of performing, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, the above-referenced studies, physical inspections, investigations and tests on the Property (collectively, the “Tests”), provided that no such tests shall be conducted without (i) at least one (1) business day prior written notice to Seller and (ii) if any such Tests are invasive, Seller’s prior written approval of such Tests in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall not need Seller’s consent to conduct non-invasive and Phase I environmental studies. Purchaser shall be required to conduct such Tests in a manner as to not unreasonably disturb or interfere with the current use of the Property. Upon completion of such Tests, Purchaser agrees at its sole cost to promptly restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Tests, including, but not limited to, the prompt removal of anything placed on the Property in connection with such Tests. Purchaser shall have the right to interview tenants; provided, however, Seller shall have the right to have a representative of Seller present at all times while Purchaser is meeting with any tenant. Prior to Purchaser’s entering the Property to conduct the inspections and tests described above, Purchaser shall obtain and maintain (and shall deliver to Seller evidence thereof), at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, general liability insurance, from an insurer reasonably acceptable

to Seller, in the amount of at least Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) combined single limit for personal injury and property damage per representation, occurrence, such policies to name Seller as an additional insured party, which insurance shall provide coverage against any claim for personal liability or property damage caused by Purchaser or its agents, representatives, employees or contractors in connection with such inspections and tests. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Seller), protect, and hold Seller and the Transferred Companies and their respective agents, servants, attorneys, officers, partners, shareholders, consultants, contractors, directors, tenants, members, representatives and employees (collectively, the “Owner Parties”) harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, expense, claim, damage, or expense (including, without limitation, mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which any of the Owner Parties may sustain or incur by reason of or in connection with any Tests made by Purchaser, or any of its employees, consultants, engineers, agents, representatives or contractors (collectively, the “Purchaser’s Designees”) relating to or in connection with the Property, or entries by any of Purchaser’s Designees onto the Property or during the conduct of any of the feasibility studies whether such Tests, entries or studies were made before or after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnity obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the Closing.

 

3.2           Right to Terminate.

 

If for any or no reason whatsoever Purchaser determines in its sole and absolute discretion that the Shares, the Transferred Companies or the Property or any aspect thereof is unsuitable, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to the expiration of the Study Period, and if Purchaser gives such notice of termination within the Study Period, this Agreement shall terminate. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this section, then neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for any obligations of either party pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement which survive a termination), the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and each party shall bear its own costs incurred hereunder. If Purchaser fails to give Seller a notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Study Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved all aspects of the Property and the Transferred Companies and to have elected to proceed with the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

4.             CLOSING

 

4.1           Time and Place. The consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby (“Closing”) shall be held at the offices of the Escrow Agent or such other location as the parties shall mutually agree, on or before 2:00 p.m. Dallas, Texas time, on October 4, 2007, as such date may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Closing Date”). Any wires of the Purchase Price shall be initiated by Purchaser no later than 10:00 a.m. Dallas, Texas time on the Closing Date.

Except as provided below, an additional deposit in the amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (the “Second Additional Deposit”) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent within one (1) Business Day of the date of Purchaser’s Extension Notice if Purchaser elects to extend Closing as provided herein, by federal wire transfer of immediately available funds, to be held in escrow by Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(ii)           real property taxes (including personal property taxes on the Personal Property) and assessments levied against the Property or the Transferred Companies, provided, however, that if any assessments are paid in installments, then only the installments for the period that includes the Closing Date shall be prorated, and installments for any period after the Closing shall be the obligation of Purchaser pursuant to its indirect ownership of the Property LLCs;

(ii)           Any property taxes and assessments paid at or prior to Closing shall be prorated as follows: (i) property taxes and assessments on the Property assessed for the 2006 calendar year, all of which are payable in the 2007 calendar year, shall be prorated as of Closing based upon the amounts actually paid or payable by the Property LLCs in 2007; and (ii) property taxes and assessments on the Property assessed for the 2007 calendar year, all of which are payable in the 2008 calendar year, will be the responsibility of Purchaser and such taxes and assessments shall not be prorated at Closing. Seller shall not be responsible for any increase in the assessed value of the Property after Closing, such increased valuation and resulting increase in the taxes actually due being the sole responsibility of Purchaser. Any income tax refunds that are received by the Trusts or the Property LLCs, and any amounts credited against income tax to which the Trusts or the Property LLCs become entitled, that relate to income tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the date of the Closing shall be for the account of Seller, and Purchaser shall pay over to Seller any such refund or the amount of any such credit within 15 days after receipt or entitlement thereto.

 

(iii)         Charges referred to in this Section 4.4 which are payable by any tenant to a third party, if any, shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Purchaser shall accept the Shares notwithstanding that the Trusts or their subsidiaries have liability for any such unpaid charges and Purchaser and its subsidiaries shall look solely to the tenant responsible therefore for the payment of the same. If Seller or the Trusts or their subsidiaries shall have paid any of such charges on behalf of any tenant, and shall not have been reimbursed therefore by the time of Closing, Purchaser shall credit to Seller an amount equal to all such charges so paid by Seller. Seller shall retain all amounts received prior to Closing from any tenant with respect to property taxes and assessments, but Seller shall credit to Purchaser at Closing an amount equal to any such payments which are attributable to the period from and after Closing consistent with the method set forth in Section 4.4.2(ii).

 

(iv)          Seller shall receive the entire advantage of any discounts for the prepayment of any taxes, water rates or sewer rents.

 

13



 

(v)           As to gas, electricity and other utility charges referred to in Section 4.4.1(iv) above, Seller may on notice to Purchaser elect to pay one or more of all of said items accrued to the date hereinabove fixed for apportionment directly to the person or entity entitled thereto, and to the extent Seller so elects, such item shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Seller’s obligation to pay such item directly in such case shall survive the Closing.

 

(vi)          The Personal Property is included in this sale, without further charge. Seller shall pay any and all sales or similar taxes payable in connection with the Personal Property and Seller shall execute and deliver any tax returns required of it in connection therewith, said obligations of Seller to survive Closing.

 

(vii)         Unpaid and delinquent rent as of the Closing shall not be prorated, but if and when collected by Seller or Purchaser (or the Property LLCs) after Closing shall be delivered as follows:  (a) if Seller collects any unpaid or delinquent rent for the Property, Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Purchaser any such rent which Purchaser is entitled to hereunder relating to the date of Closing and any period thereafter, and (b) if Purchaser or the Trusts, or their subsidiaries collect any unpaid or delinquent rent from the Property, Purchaser shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Seller any such rent which Seller or the Trusts or their subsidiaries are entitled to hereunder relating to the period prior to the date of Closing. Seller and Purchaser agree that (y) all rent received by any party within the first thirty (30) day period after the date of Closing shall be applied first to delinquent rents owed with respect to pre-Closing periods, then to rents due in the month of Closing, and then to delinquent rents owed with respect to post-Closing periods, and (z) all rent received by any party after the first thirty (30) day period after the date of Closing shall be applied first to current rentals, then to delinquent rents owed with respect to post-Closing periods and then to delinquent rents owed with respect to pre-Closing periods, in inverse order of maturity. Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts after Closing to collect (or cause to be collected) all rents as promptly as practicable in the usual course of the operation of the Property, provided that Purchaser shall have no obligation to file suit or expend any material sums to collect any delinquent rents owed with respect pre-Closing Periods. Purchaser (or the Property LLCs) shall hold all landlord’s liens, if any, in their entirety to enforce the payment of any delinquent rentals and Seller shall be deemed to have transferred all of its right title and interest in such landlord’s liens, if any.

 

(viii)       At Seller’s option:  (x) all cash in bank accounts or on hand owned by any of the Transferred Companies or Property Managers; (y) all insurance refunds relating to insurance concerning the Property (which insurance shall not be continued by Seller beyond Closing, except as provided in Article 8 hereof) and (z) all other prepaid items which are capable of being refunded (whether prior to, upon or after Closing) on cancellation of an Operating Agreement shall be either:  (a) distributed to Seller immediately prior to the

 

14



 

Closing and shall be excluded from the sale contemplated by this Agreement or (b) credited to Seller at Closing, except as provided above with respect to any tenant security made by a tenant under the Leases.

 

(ix)          An amount equal to (i) certain obligations of the Property LLCs to pay for tenant improvements in connection with the Leases executed prior to the Effective Date (but excluding amendments or extension and renewal options and other tenant rights under those Lease entered into or exercised after the Effective Date), (ii) certain leasing commissions in connection with the Leases (but excluding amendments or extension and renewal options and other tenant rights under those Lease entered into or exercised after the Effective Date), and (iii) unpaid leasing commissions, tenant improvement allowances and other tenant concessions set forth in the Morgan Stanley Lease (as hereinafter defined) as more particularly set forth on Schedule 4.4.2(ix) attached hereto, shall be credited to Purchaser at Closing. Purchaser may escrow such funds for the purposes of paying for the obligations under the Leases, including using such funds to apply against rent as specified in the Leases. Seller and Purchaser agree to update Schedule 4.4.2(ix) at Closing.

 

(x)           An amount equal to the free rent under the Leases, as more particularly set forth on Schedule 4.4.2(x), shall be credited to Purchaser at Closing. Such amount shall be adjusted depending upon the Closing Date in the manner set forth on Schedule 4.4.2(x).

 

(xi)          An amount equal to all of the funds (excluding any letters of credit held by the Lenders that will be released to Seller in connection with the Closing) of any of the Transferred Companies currently held by the Lenders in connection with the Existing Indebtedness, including, without limitation, impound, reserve and escrow funds, shall be credited to Seller at Closing.

 

(xii)        An amount equal to $114,980.00 shall be credited to Purchaser at Closing, which represents fifty percent (50%) of the lease termination payment payable to Seller that has already been received by Seller from Rolfe & Nolan in connection with the termination of its lease.

 

(xiii)       An amount equal to $11,503,625.30 shall be credited to Purchaser at Closing, which represents the unpaid amounts and expenses for certain renovations and improvements to the Property, as more particularly set forth on Schedule 4.4.2(xiii). Such amount shall be adjusted upon the Closing Date based on the unpaid amounts and expenses for such renovations and improvements as of the Closing Date.

 

4.4.3     Seller shall use reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser an initial draft of the Closing Statement at least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, which, once agreed to, shall be the “Closing Statement.”

 

4.4.4     The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall survive Closing.

4.5           Closing Costs and Post Closing Adjustments.

 

4.5.1     Closing Costs.

Seller shall pay all title examination fees of Title Company and for the cost of the premium for the standard coverage portion of the coverage owner’s policies of title insurance to be issued to Purchaser by the Title Company at Closing (collectively, the “Title Policy”), without endorsements and the costs of the Surveys. Purchaser shall pay (u) the fees of any counsel representing Purchaser in connection with this transaction; (v) the premium for any endorsements requested by Purchaser to the Title Policy; (w) one-half of any Escrow Agent’s fee; and (x) the costs of the Surveys.

All other costs and expenses incident to this transaction and the closing thereof shall be paid by the party incurring the same. The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall survive Closing.

 

4.5.2     Post Closing Adjustments. Seller has completed its reconciliation for charges paid in calendar year 2006 for percentage rents, escalation charges for real estate taxes, insurance, parking charges, marketing fund charges, operating expenses, maintenance escalation rents or charges, cost-of-living increases or other charges of a similar nature (“Additional Rents”) charged to tenants under the Leases. Seller agrees to directly reimburse the applicable tenant  (as opposed to credit future rent) for the amounts of Additional Rent calculated by Seller as being due to such tenant for the calendar year 2006. With respect to any Additional Rent (including Additional Rent collected by landlord (references to a landlord of a Property shall include a reference to 10/120 Ground Lessee in its capacity as a sublandlord) for the period from January 1, 2007 through Closing) which is not finally adjusted between the landlord and any tenant under any Lease until after the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall submit to Seller, within thirty (30) days after the Additional Rents have been finally adjusted between landlord and the tenants, a supplemental statement covering any such Additional Rents or any other items which have been finally adjusted between the landlord and such tenants, containing a calculation of the adjustments of such Additional Rents. In the event Seller or the landlord is obligated to reimburse a tenant for Additional Rent for calendar year 2006 in an amount in excess of the amount paid by Seller as described above or with respect to Additional Rent paid during the period from January 1, 2007 through Closing, then Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for such amount within thirty (30) days after receipt of the supplemental statement. If Purchaser or the landlord recovers any Additional Rent from any tenant attributable to calendar year 2006 or the period from January 1, 2007 through Closing, then Purchaser shall pay such amount to Seller within thirty (30) days of collecting such payments. With respect to each item of Additional Rent, each party shall make available to the other party during regular business hours the records relating to such items for inspection or audit by such party or its representatives.

Such opinion shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4.6.1, which such opinion shall be based on customary assumptions and representations (including an assumption that for purposes of the opinion each Trust’s taxable year ended with the Closing, and an assumption that each Trust satisfied the distribution requirement described in Code Section 857(a)(1) for the hypothetical short taxable year beginning January 1, 2007 and ending with the Closing), and shall be subject to such changes or modifications from the language in such form opinion as deemed necessary or appropriate by Goodwin Procter LLP and reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser;

If Purchaser has not received acceptable tenant estoppel certificates from tenants representing 75% of the rentable square footage of each Individual Property, excluding rentable square footage not then subject to any Lease, by the Estoppel Return Date, then Seller may provide estoppel certificates executed by Seller meeting the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 4.6 for tenants leasing up to 10% of the rentable square footage other than Major Tenants, and such Seller estoppel certificates shall be deemed to be acceptable, with liability under any such Seller estoppel certificate to terminate upon subsequent receipt of a tenant estoppel certificate confirming the same subject matter; provided, however, that such tenant estoppel shall be deemed to confirm the same subject matter notwithstanding that certifications regarding no default, no offset and the like are limited to the knowledge of the tenant. If Purchaser has not received acceptable (or deemed acceptable) tenant estoppel certificates as provided herein on or before the Closing Date, then Purchaser at its sole option may (i) waive the tenant estoppel condition

References to the “knowledge” or “best knowledge” of Seller or words of similar import shall refer only to the actual knowledge of the Designated Employee and shall not be construed, by imputation or otherwise, to refer to the knowledge of any affiliate of Seller, to any property manager, or to any other officer, director, agent, manager, representative or employee of Seller or any affiliate of Seller or to impose upon such Designated Employee any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge, or the absence thereof, pertains. As used herein, the term “Designated Employees” shall refer to Sara Shank, Seller’s asset manager for the Property, the employee of Seller with primary responsibility for coordinating the transactions contemplated herein.

 

5.5           Seller’s Indemnity, Survival of Seller’s Representations and Warranties; Maximum Liability.

 

5.5.1     Survival. The representations and warranties contained in Section 5.3 hereof, as updated by the certificates of Seller to be delivered in accordance with Section 4.2.5 hereof, and the covenants set forth in this Agreement to be performed by Seller between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, shall survive Closing for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Property Representation Expiration Date”). The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 hereof shall survive Closing for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Remaining Representation Expiration Date”) in each case as updated by the certificate of Seller to be delivered to Purchaser at Closing in accordance with Section 4.2.5 hereof.

 

5.5.2     Seller’s Indemnification Obligations. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.5, from and after the Closing until the Property Representation Expiration Date or the Remaining Representation Expiration Date, as applicable (which Remaining Representation Expiration Date shall be applicable to any claims under Sections 5.5.2(iii)), Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, the Transferred Companies (as the Transferred Companies are constituted after Closing) and their officers, directors, affiliates, members, partners, representatives, agents, and any successors or assigns of Purchaser (the “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) from and against any costs or expenses (including, without limitation, taxes and reasonable

attorneys’ fees), judgments, liabilities, fines, losses, claims and damages (collectively, “Damages”), as incurred, to the extent they arise out of or are a result of:

 

(i)            the breach or any inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement;

 

(ii)           any breach or default by Seller of any covenant or agreement of Seller hereunder;

 

(iii)         third-party claims against any Purchaser Indemnified Party arising out of events that occur prior to the Closing and during the period of ownership by Seller of the Trusts and which purport to be related to any obligation or liability of the Transferred Companies (as the Transferred Companies are constituted prior to Closing), the Property Managers or Illinois Manager, including, without limitation, contractual and tort claims and/or liabilities and the litigation referred to in Schedule 5.2.5, provided that the foregoing shall not include (and, except to the extent provided for in Sections 5.5.2(i) and 5.5.2(ii), Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Party for) claims based upon or arising out of:  (w) environmental matters (other than claims for bodily injury or personal injury based on events prior to Closing, but not property damage), including, without limitation, any obligation to remediate any Hazardous Substances, or (x) the physical condition of the Property, including, without limitation, patent and latent defects, title and zoning matters, governmental approvals, valuation, and compliance of the Property with laws, other than third-party claims for bodily injury, personal injury or property damage based on events prior to Closing; (y) any obligations contained in the documents evidencing the Existing Indebtedness, or (z) tax matters, except in each case to the extent of a breach of an express representation and warranty of the Seller in this Agreement.

 

5.5.3     Notice and Resolution of Claims. No claim for indemnification under Section 5.5.2 shall be actionable or payable (a) to the extent Purchaser received a proration, adjustment or credit at Closing for such claim; (b) if the claim in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter which was known to any Purchaser Indemnified Party (other than the Transferred Companies or the Property Managers as constituted prior to Closing) prior to or at Closing (it being agreed that any written information delivered to Purchaser prior to or at Closing is deemed to be known to any Purchaser Indemnified Party but shall not vary Seller’s representations and warranties except to the extent provided in Section 4.2.5); (c) if the claim results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Purchaser or any successor to or assignee of Purchaser; (d) unless and until the valid claims under this Section 5.5 collectively aggregate more than Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000.00) (the “Deductible”), in which event, subject to Section 5.5.3, only the amount of such claims over and above the Deductible shall be actionable; or (e) unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such claim shall have been given by any Purchaser Indemnified Party to Seller (x) promptly after it has notice of such claim (provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the obligations of Seller unless and only

 

33



 

to the extent that Seller are actually prejudiced thereby) and (y) in all events prior to the Property Representation Expiration Date or the Remaining Representation Expiration Date, as applicable. The foregoing is not intended to limit any duty of any Purchaser Indemnified Party to mitigate damages to the extent required under applicable law.

 

In the event that such claim involves a claim by a third party against the Purchaser Indemnified Party which seeks Damages in an amount in respect of which indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.5 would be available, Seller shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to decide whether Seller will undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of Seller’s choosing (subject to the reasonable approval of the Purchaser Indemnified Party) and at its own expense, the settlement or defense thereof (including, without limitation, the defense thereof by any insurer and any claims against any insurer and the conduct and control of any claims against any insurer with respect to such third party claim), and if Seller so decides, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall cooperate with Seller in connection therewith, provided that the Purchaser Indemnified Party may participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by it, and provided further, that the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Purchaser Indemnified Party unless:  (a) the employment of such separate counsel shall have been approved by Seller in connection with the settlement or defense of such action, (b) Seller shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser Indemnified Party to direct the settlement or defense of such action, or (c) the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to Seller, in any of which events the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall constitute Damages hereunder. Seller shall have the sole right to settle or compromise any action which Seller determines to undertake, conduct and control as aforesaid, subject to the approval of the appropriate Purchaser Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion, if the amount of the settlement would not serve to release all of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from all liability in connection with such claim. In the event Seller does not undertake to conduct and control the defense of any claim, no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall settle the same without the prior written approval of Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

Seller and the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall cooperate reasonably in all aspects of any investigation, defense, pretrial activities, trial, compromise, settlement or discharge of any claim in respect of which indemnity is sought pursuant to this Section 5.5, including, but not limited to, by providing the other party with reasonable access to employees and officers (including as witnesses) and other reasonable non-privileged information.

 

5.5.4     Sole Recourse; Maximum Liability. Purchaser, on behalf of each Purchaser Indemnified Party, agrees that (i) its sole recourse in the event of a breach of any representation, covenant or warranty made by Seller hereunder or any claim for Damages, in each case if Closing has occurred, shall be solely to Seller, and not to any of its affiliates or any officers, directors, agents or representatives of Seller or its affiliates, provided that Seller maintains a net worth at least equal to the Seller Liability Cap through the Remaining Representation Expiration Date to satisfy its indemnity

 

34



 

obligations hereunder, and (ii) Seller’s maximum aggregate liability to Purchaser, pursuant to this Agreement if the Closing has occurred, shall not otherwise exceed Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000.00) (the “Seller Liability Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller Liability Cap, as to any breach of Sections 5.2.6(ii), (vi), (viii), (ix) and (x), and 5.6.6 shall not exceed Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00). Purchaser further agrees to first use all reasonable efforts to seek recovery under any insurance policies, service contracts and Leases applicable to such claim prior to seeking recovery from Seller, and Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser for that portion of Purchaser’s claim which is satisfied from such insurance policies, service contracts or Leases. Seller agrees that it will maintain a net worth of at least Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00) through the Remaining Representation Expiration Date. Seller hereby waives its rights to indemnification from the Transferred Companies in connection with its liabilities accruing prior to the Closing, other than to the extent covered by existing insurance, including, without limitation, so called “D&O Coverage.”

 

5.6           Covenants of Seller. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement or hereafter agreed to in writing by Purchaser, Seller hereby covenants with Purchaser as follows:

 

5.6.1     Conduct of Business Pending Closing. From the Effective Date until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to operate and maintain or cause the Property to be operated and maintained in a manner generally consistent with the manner in which the Property has been operated and maintained prior to the Effective Date, subject to reasonable wear and tear, casualty and taking by eminent domain and shall keep on hand sufficient materials, supplies, equipment, inventory and other personal property for the efficient operation and management of the Property in a manner as currently operated, and shall perform when due, all of Seller’s obligations under the Leases and other contracts affecting the Property in each case in all material respects, and otherwise in accordance with applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations affecting the Property. From and after the Effective Date, Seller will not permit the Transferred Companies, the Property Managers or Illinois Manager to apply any security deposits held pursuant to the Leases without the prior consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Seller shall refrain from (and cause the Property Managers, the Transferred Companies and Illinois Manager to refrain from) transferring any of the Property, or creating on the Land any easements; provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude Seller from (i) replacing any equipment, supplies or machinery in the ordinary course of operating the Property or (ii) entering into any easements or other documents required by any applicable governmental or quasi-governmental authority or provider of utility services.

 

5.6.2     Operating Agreements.From and after the Effective Date until the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not permit the Transferred Companies, the Property Managers or Illinois Manager to modify, extend, renew or, cancel (in any case, except as a result of a default by the other party thereunder) any Operating Agreements, or enter into any new Operating Agreements unless cancelable on thirty (30) or fewer days’ notice without payment of a premium or penalty,

 

35



 

without Purchaser’s prior written consent in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall permit the assignment of and the transfer of all rights and obligations accruing to 10/120 Property Manager under that certain Management Agreement dated as of October 3, 2006 by and between 550 West Washington Property LLC and 10/120 South Riverside Illinois Property Manager LLC (the “Continuing Management Agreement”), which assignment and transfer shall occur prior to or concurrently with the Closing, and which assignment and transfer shall not require the prior written consent of Purchaser so long as 10/120 Property Manager is released from all liability arising after the date of the assignment of the Continuing Management Agreement.

 

5.6.3     Insurance. From and after the Effective Date until the date of Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller shall cause the Transferred Companies, Illinois Manager and the Property Managers to keep in full force and effect the insurance policies in effect on the Effective Date or policies providing similar (but no less) coverage. At Closing, Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of its rights under the Liability Policies with respect to any claims relating to the period prior to Closing (whether such claims are made before or after Closing) relating to the Property, the Property Managers or the Transferred Companies, including, but not limited to, the right to submit claims directly to the applicable insurer. Seller shall provide Purchaser with all information reasonably required for Purchaser to submit any claims related to a period prior to Closing, including any deadlines or other conditions under the applicable Liability Policies and will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in the submission, processing and resolution of such claims. To the extent that any assignment of rights under the Liability Polices is not permitted by the express terms of the Liability Policies or applicable law, then upon receipt of notice from Purchaser regarding any pre-Closing claims subject to coverage under the Liability Policies, Seller shall timely submit such claims to the applicable insurer upon request of Purchaser and be responsible for processing and resolution of such claims with the applicable insurer as directed by Purchaser at its expense, provided that no claim will be settled or compromised without Purchaser’s consent in its sole and absolute discretion, if the settlement will not serve to release all applicable Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Property from all liability in connection with such claims. Seller and Purchaser shall not take any action to limit, invalidate or reduce any coverage that is provided under the Liability Policies as of Closing with respect to any pre-Closing claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any claims are made in connection with Seller’s obligations hereunder, including its obligation to indemnify Purchaser, Seller shall have all rights of control and resolution of such claims as set forth in Section 5.5.3. To the extent any claims are made against the Property, the Property Managers or the Transferred Companies relating to a period prior to the time the Property LLCs owned the Property, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in directing those claims to the prior Owner of the Property. The foregoing covenants in this Section 5.6.4, with the exception of the first sentence, shall survive closing.

 

5.6.4     Investments. Unless this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing, Seller shall not cause or permit the Transferred Companies, Illinois Manager, or the Property Managers to make any investment in, any loan to, or any acquisition of the

 

36



 

securities of any other Person, or make any acquisition of any new assets or incur any new indebtedness (or series of related capital investments, loans and acquisitions), except (i) for trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business, and (ii) in connection with the Kimco OFP Purchase Transaction pursuant to the Kimco Purchase Agreement.

 

5.6.5     REIT Compliance. Except as set forth in Section 5.6.8, Seller shall take all commercially reasonable steps, or forbear from taking steps, necessary prior to the Closing to ensure that each of the Trust’s ownership and operation until the Closing would permit each Trust to qualify as a REIT for that Trust’s taxable year that includes the Closing.

 

5.6.6     No Transfer of Assets; Mergers or Acquisitions. Unless this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing, Seller shall not cause or permit the Trusts, Illinois Manager, OFP Equity, OFP Holding, 200 South Wacker Services, OFP Services, the Property Managers or the Property LLCs to: (i) sell, transfer, further encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of the Property or any portion thereof or (ii) merge or consolidate with or acquire all or substantially all of the assets or business of any Person, except in connection with the Kimco OFP Purchase Transaction pursuant to the Kimco Purchase Agreement.

 

5.6.7     No Amendments to Organizational Documents. Unless this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing, Seller shall not cause or permit the Transferred Companies, Illinois Manager or the Property Managers to amend their respective Organizational Documents in any material respect except that each Trust shall be permitted to amend its Declaration of Trust to the extent necessary to permit the consummation of this Agreement and in form and substance provided to Purchaser as reasonably approved by Purchaser.

 

5.6.8     Redemption of Preferred Shareholders’ Shares. Seller and Purchaser shall make mutually satisfactory arrangements to cause each Trust, at Closing, to redeem the preferred shares in such Trust held by the parties identified on Schedule 5.2.3(i)(A), Schedule 5.2.3(ii)(A) and Schedule 5.2.3(iii)(A) attached hereto, such that, following such redemptions, the Seller’s Shares constitute one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares in each Trust. Seller shall provide Purchaser reasonable evidence of such redemption.

 

5.6.9     Leases. Except as expressly provided herein, Seller shall, and shall cause each of the Property Managers, Illinois Manager and the Property LLCs to, refrain from amending any existing Lease without Purchaser’s written approval, as provided below, provided that Purchaser shall have no ability to interfere with the administration by Seller, the Property Managers, Illinois Manager or the Property LLCs of any existing Lease as required by the terms of such Lease. In addition, except as expressly provided herein, neither Seller nor any of the Property Managers, Illinois Manager and the Property LLCs shall enter into any new leases with respect to the Property (each, a “Proposed New Lease”), without Purchaser’s written approval, as provided below in this Section 5.6.10, provided, however that Purchaser’s written approval shall not be required for, and Seller may enter into, a new lease with Morgan Stanley at One Financial Place

 

37



 

on the business terms referenced in Schedule 5.6.10, (the “Morgan Stanley Lease”) which Morgan Stanley Lease shall not be a Proposed New Lease and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing equal to all unpaid leasing commissions, tenant improvement and other tenant concessions set forth in the Morgan Stanley Lease. Seller shall furnish Purchaser with a true and complete copy of any Proposed New Lease into which Seller or the Property Managers, Illinois Manager or the Property LLCs desire to have any of the Property LLCs enter and such financial information with respect to the proposed tenant as Seller, the Property Managers, Illinois Manager or the Property LLCs may have in their possession. Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days from receipt of such Proposed New Lease to approve or disapprove the same, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that Purchaser does not approve any such Proposed New Lease, Purchaser shall notify Seller, in writing, of such disapproval prior to expiration of the aforesaid five (5) Business Day period, stating in such written notification under what conditions, if any, Purchaser’s approval would be forthcoming and Purchaser’s agreement to approve such Proposed New Lease if such conditions are satisfied. All costs of tenant improvements and leasing commissions payable after Closing with respect to any lease with respect to the Property executed between the Effective Date and the Closing Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be paid by Purchaser. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser copies of any written notices that Seller sends, from and after the Effective Date to its Lenders under Section 4.1.6(c)(v) of the loan agreements related to the Existing Indebtedness applicable to each of 200 South Wacker Property and 10/120 South Riverside Property.

 

5.6.10   Audit by Purchaser. Purchaser has advised Seller that Purchaser must cause to be prepared up to three (3) years of audited financial statements and the interim period between from January 1, 2007 through Closing in respect of the Property in compliance with the policies of Purchaser and certain laws and regulations, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, Rule 3-14. Seller agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser’s auditors in the preparation of such audited financial statements (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing covenant shall survive the Closing). Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence (a) Seller shall, during normal business hours, allow Purchaser’s auditors reasonable access to such books and records maintained by Seller, the Property Manager and the Property LLCs (and any other manager of the Property) in respect of the Property as necessary to prepare such audited financial statements; (b) Seller shall use reasonable efforts to provide to Purchaser such financial information and supporting documentation as are necessary for Purchaser’s auditors to prepare audited financial statements; (c) if Purchaser or its auditors require any information that is in the possession of the party from which Seller purchased all or a portion of the Property, Seller shall contact such prior owner of the Property and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from such party the information requested by Purchaser; (d) Seller will make available for interview by Purchaser and Purchaser’s auditors, the manager of the Property or other agents or representatives of Seller responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Property and the keeping of the books and records in respect of the operation of the Property; and (e) if Seller has audited financial statements with respect to the Property, Seller shall promptly provide Purchaser’s auditors with a copy of such

 

38



 

audited financial statements. If after the Closing Date Seller obtains an audited financial statement in respect of the Property for a fiscal period prior to the Closing Date that was not completed as of the Closing Date, then Seller shall promptly provide Purchaser with a copy of such audited financial statement. The foregoing covenants shall survive Closing.

 

5.6.11   Recycled Entity. In order to facilitate the financing of the Property by Purchaser, to the extent a lender requires representations and warranties relating to the Property LLCs and the conduct of its business for the period from the formation of each Property LLC through the Closing similar in nature to those required by Standard & Poor’s for recycled entities in its May 1, 2003 publication relating to U.S. CMBS Legal and Structured Finance Criteria, Seller shall cooperate in good faith to submit a certification to Purchaser of such facts, to the extent the same are true or indicate which facts or requirements are not true or are qualified.

 

5.6.12   Purchaser’s Financing. Seller agrees that to the extent reasonably requested by Purchaser, Seller will consider and reasonably cooperate with in good faith any modifications to the existing structure of the Trusts and the Property LLCs that do not have any adverse tax, economic or other consequences to Seller, so that Purchaser meets lender requirements for financing the Property.

 

5.6.13   Kimco OFP Purchase Transaction Not a Breach or Default. 5.6.14              Notwithstanding the representations and covenants of Seller in this Section 5 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the creation or existence of the OFP Trust Loan and the debt obligation thereunder, as incurred to acquire the Kimco OFP Interest, shall not constitute a breach or default under this Agreement provided that Seller applies a portion of the Purchase Price allocated to One Financial Place in full satisfaction of the OFP Trust Loan at Closing.

 

5.7           Tax Matters.

 

5.7.1     Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser Indemnified Party from and against any Damages as incurred, to the extent they arise out of or are a result of any taxes, including, without limitation, interest, penalties and additions thereto (other than (x) transfer taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes assessed in connection with the sale or transfer of stock, a property or any interest therein, or any other tax, for which responsibility is allocated to Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.5 of this Agreement or (y) any real property taxes or assessments for which responsibility is allocated to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) imposed on the Transferred Companies, the Property Managers or Illinois Manager relating to taxable periods or portions thereof ending on or before the date of the Closing or allocable to the portion thereof through the date of the Closing pursuant to this paragraph, other than arising from (i) a breach of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, (ii) change in law following the Closing that increases the taxes on any of the Transferred Companies, the Property Managers or Illinois Manager, (iii) a failure by Purchaser to cause each Trust to make sufficient distributions following the Closing, eligible for dividends paid deductions, to eliminate any income tax liability of each Trust for such Trust’s taxable year that includes the Closing, or (iv) any other action or

 

39



 

activity of the Transferred Companies, the Property Managers or Illinois Manager after the Closing that increases their taxes for periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date. If the Closing Date is other than the last day of a taxable period of the Trusts, the tax attributable to the operations of the Transferred Companies or the Property Managers for the portion of the period up to and including the date of the Closing shall be (i) in the case of all taxes based on or in respect of income, the tax computed on the basis of the taxable income or loss of the entity for such partial period ending on or before the date of Closing as determined from its books and records, and (ii) in the case of all other taxes (other than those allocated pursuant to Section 4.4.1(ii)), on the basis of the actual activities of the entity for such partial period ending on or before the date of Closing as determined from its books and records. Except for taxes on income arising from operations in the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date, Seller shall not be responsible for any taxes attributable to income, action or activity on the Closing Date and on or after the Closing. The indemnity under this Section 5.7.1 is subject to the limitations and other provisions of Section 5.5 of this Agreement (which for the avoidance of doubt the parties acknowledge include the survival period, procedural requirements, Deductible and maximum liability provisions therein), except that: (i) the indemnity under this Section 5.7.1 is not subject to Section 5.5.2(iii)(z), and (ii) the Deductible does not apply to accrued but unpaid taxes of the Transferred Companies, the Property Managers or Illinois Manager for their respective taxable periods which include the Closing. With respect to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence: (a) such accrued but unpaid taxes shall not be taken into account when determining whether the Deductible threshold has been met under Section 5.5.3 with respect to any other claims; and (b) any tax refunds that are received by a Transferred Company, a Property Manager or Illinois Manager, and any amounts credited against tax to which a Transferred Company, a Property Manager or Illinois Manager becomes entitled, that relate to tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the date of the Closing shall be for the account of Seller, and Purchaser shall pay over to Seller any such refund or the amount of any such credit within 15 days after receipt or entitlement thereto.

 

5.7.2     Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared, at the cost and expense of Seller, on a timely basis (including any automatically available extensions) tax returns for the Transferred Companies and the Property Managers (including the applicable 1099s, K-1s or similar schedules and reports which are part of or derived from any such tax returns) for federal and state income, unincorporated business taxable income or any similar type of net income tax applicable to any said entity for all such tax returns (i)  which are due prior to the Closing, (ii) which relate to taxable or other relevant periods ending before January 1, 2007 or (iii) which are for a taxable period beginning January 1, 2007.

 

All such tax returns, and any tax returns prepared pursuant to Section 5.7.2, shall in all events be prepared in a manner consistent with the prior tax returns as to all continuing elections, characterizations and other matters and, to the extent applicable, the structure and intent of the relevant underlying documents and this Agreement and otherwise in accordance with applicable law. All such tax returns shall be provided to the other party at least 45 days prior to the date any such tax return is due (including any automatically available extensions), which other party shall have 30 days after receipt of

 

40



 

each tax return to review such tax return and comment thereon. Upon the expiration of such 30 day period, the party receiving and reviewing such tax return, if acceptable, shall promptly sign and file, or cause to be signed and filed, such tax return pursuant to this Section 5.7.2. In the event there is a dispute between the parties in regards to the approval of a tax return, the parties shall appoint a mutually acceptable “Big Four” accounting firm to resolve such dispute prior to the expiration of such 45 day period.

 

Each party hereto shall make available, or cause to be made available, to the other party all the relevant and necessary books and records to enable such party to prepare or review, as the case may be, all such tax returns subject to the standards of the preceding provisions and otherwise consistent with Section 5.7.4 below and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement.

 

5.7.3     Purchaser shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, at the expense of Purchaser, on a timely basis (including all automatically available extensions) all tax returns of the Transferred Companies and the Property Managers other than those provided for in Section 5.7.2 above. In the case of any such return for a period that includes the Closing, Purchaser shall provide Seller the proposed tax return at least 45 days prior to the date such tax return is due (including any automatically available extensions), which Seller shall have 30 days after receipt of such tax return to review and comment thereon. All such tax returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the prior tax returns as to all continuing elections, characterizations and other matters and, to the extent applicable, the structure and intent of the relevant underlying documents and this Agreement and otherwise in accordance with applicable law. Purchaser shall pay or cause the Transferred Companies and the Property Managers to pay all taxes shown to be due and payable thereon. Furthermore, Purchaser shall pay or cause the Transferred Companies and the Property Managers to pay all taxes shown to be due and payable on any return for a period that includes the Closing even if such tax return is prepared by or caused to be prepared by the Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the later of (i) 15 days after receipt of written notice from Purchaser and (ii) seven days prior to the due date for the payment of the applicable tax, Seller shall pay to Purchaser any amounts for which Seller is liable pursuant to Section 5.7.1 for taxable periods that include the Closing.

 

5.7.4     Without limiting the foregoing, after the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall:

 

(i)            assist (and cause their respective affiliates to assist) the other in preparing any tax returns which such other person is responsible for preparing and filing in accordance with this Section 5.7;

 

(ii)           cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation of the tax returns pursuant to this Section 5.7 and in connection with any steps or procedures required to be undertaken in compliance with Sections 856 through 860 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder;

 

41



 

(iii)         cooperate fully in preparing for any audits of, or litigation, administrative or other proceedings and any other disputes with taxing authorities regarding any tax returns with respect to the Transferred Companies or the Property Managers or otherwise with respect to taxes that may be imposed upon or otherwise payable by the Transferred Companies or the Property Managers;

 

(iv)          make available to the other party and to any governmental entity as reasonably requested all information, records, and documents of the Transferred Companies and the Property Managers relating to taxes;

 

(v)           provide timely notice to the other party in writing of any pending or threatened tax audits or assessments with respect to the Transferred Companies or the Property Managers for taxable periods for which such other party may have a liability for taxes under this Agreement;

 

(vi)          furnish each other with copies of all correspondence received from any governmental entity in connection with any tax audit or information request with respect to any taxable period for which the other party may have a liability for taxes under this Agreement;

 

(vii)         provide the other party with timely notice of the commencement of any audit by any governmental entity or of any judicial proceeding involving a governmental entity that relates to any liability for taxes, or any transaction or activity of the Transferred Companies or the Property Managers for which the other may have a liability for taxes under this Agreement;

 

(viii)       as applicable, prepare and/or file, or cause to be prepared and/or filed, all tax returns, all such tax returns to be prepared in a manner consistent with the prior tax returns as to all continuing elections, characterizations and other matters and, to the extent applicable, the structure and intent of the relevant underlying documents and this Agreement and otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.7.4 or in Section 5.5.3 to the contrary, all aspects of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to taxes attributable to a taxable year ending before January 1, 2007 shall be controlled by and be the sole responsibility of the Seller. All aspects of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to taxes attributable to a taxable year commencing on or after January 1, 2007 shall be controlled by and be the sole responsibility of the Purchaser, unless the audit, litigation or other proceeding relates to a taxable period for which a tax return was prepared by or caused to be prepared by Seller, in which case such audit, litigation or other proceeding shall be controlled by and be the sole responsibility of the Seller. Notwithstanding any indication in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall settle any audit, litigation or other proceeding relating to a period ending prior to the Closing Date or for the taxable year of each Trust beginning January 1, 2007 if such settlement is based, in whole or in part, on the conclusion that each Trust did not qualify as a real estate investment trust satisfying the requirements of Sections 856

through 860 of the Code at all times during such periods. To the extent that any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to taxes relates to (i) a challenge to the position that any Trust’s deduction for dividends paid (as defined in Section in Section 561 of the Code) for its taxable year beginning January 1, 2007 will be of such a magnitude that (a) the distribution requirement of Section 857(a) will be satisfied for the taxable year beginning January 1, 2007 and (b) the Trust’s “real estate investment trust taxable income” (as defined in Section 857(b)(2) of the Code) for its taxable year beginning January 1, 2007 will be reduced to zero, (ii) a challenge to the position that the Trust will not constitute a personal holding company (as defined in Section 542 of the Code) for its taxable year beginning January 1, 2007 or (iii) activities on or after the Closing of any Transferred Company or Property Manager, Purchaser agrees to pay or promptly reimburse any out-of-pocket costs incurred by Seller in connection with such audit, litigation or other proceeding including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of legal counsel and accountants retained by Seller in connection therewith.

6.             REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF PURCHASER

 

6.1           Representations and Warranties of Purchaser.

 

Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller as of the Effective Date:

 

6.1.1        Organization. Purchaser is a limited partnership duly organized validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Texas.

 

6.1.2        Power and Authority. Purchaser has all requisite, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to acquire the Shares as provided in this Agreement and to carry out Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, and all requisite action necessary to authorize Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder have been, or by the Closing will have been, taken. The person signing this Agreement on behalf of Purchaser is authorized to do so.

 

6.1.3        Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will violate any statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge or other restriction of any government, governmental agency or court to which Purchaser is subject, nor will it conflict with any of the organizational documents of Purchaser.

 

43



 

6.1.4        No Litigation. There is no action, suit, arbitration, unsatisfied order or judgment, government investigation or proceeding pending against Purchaser which, if adversely determined, could individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

6.1.5        Investment Intent. Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares have been offered and will be sold to Purchaser pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and is purchasing the Shares for investment purposes and has no present intent to distribute, resell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of such Shares other than in full compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Purchaser has had the opportunity to review such documents and to ask such questions of Seller as Purchaser has deemed pertinent to its decision to invest in the Shares. Purchaser is fully capable of assessing the risks associated with ownership of the Shares.

 

6.1.6        Status as Permitted Transferee. Purchaser and affiliated entities which are directly or indirectly under common control with Purchaser or directly or indirectly control Purchaser or are controlled by Purchaser (i) have a net worth, as determined as of the Effective Date, of at least $400,000,000 (exclusive of the value of the Property), and (ii) control, directly or indirectly, real estate assets with a market value of at least $800,000,000 (exclusive of the value of the Property).

 

6.2           Survival of Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties.  The representation and warranties of Purchaser set forth in Section 6.1.5 hereof and all covenants of Purchaser contained herein shall survive Closing and shall be a continuing representation, warranty and covenant without limitation. All other representations and warranties of Purchaser shall survive Closing for a period of twelve (12) months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an assignment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.4, the representation made Section 6.1.1 shall be made so as to conform to the facts of assignee’s organizational status.

 

6.3           Purchaser’s Indemnity; Maximum Liability.

 

6.3.1     Purchaser’s Indemnification Obligations. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.3, from and after the Closing until the Property Representation Expiration Date or the Remaining Representation Expiration Date, as applicable (which Remaining Representation Expiration Date shall be applicable to any claims under Sections 6.3.1(iii) and 6.4.1 below), Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and Seller’s officers, directors, affiliates, director members or partners, representatives, agents, and any successors or assigns of Seller (the “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against any Damages as incurred, to the extent they arise out of or are a result of:

 

(i)            the breach or any inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement;

 

44



 

(ii)           any breach or default by Purchaser of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser hereunder; or

 

(iii)         third party claims against any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of events that occur on or after the Closing and during the period of ownership by Purchaser and which purport to be related to any obligation or liability of the Transferred Companies (as the Transferred Companies are constituted on and after the Closing), including, without limitation, contractual and tort claims and/or liabilities, provided that the foregoing shall not include (and, except to the extent provided for in Sections 6.3.1(i) and 6.3.1(ii), Purchaser shall not be obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Party for) claims based upon or arising out of:  (w) environmental matters (other than claims for personal injury but not property damage), including, without limitation, any obligation to remediate any Hazardous Substances, or (x) the physical condition of the Property, including, without limitation, patent and latent defects, title and zoning matters, governmental approvals, valuation, and compliance of the Property with laws, other than third-party claims for personal injury or property damage; (y) any obligations contained in the documents evidencing the Existing Indebtedness, or (z) tax matters, except in each case to the extent of a breach of an express representation and warranty of Purchaser in this Agreement.

 

6.3.2     Notice and Resolution of Claims. No claim for indemnification under Section 6.3.1 shall be actionable or payable (a) to the extent Seller received a proration, adjustment or credit at Closing for such claim; (b) if the claim in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter which was known to any Seller Indemnified Party prior to or at Closing; (c) if the claim results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller or any successor to or assignee of Purchaser; (d) unless and until the valid claims under this Section 6.3 collectively aggregate more than the Deductible, in which event, subject to Section 6.3.3, only the amount of such claims over and above the Deductible shall be actionable; or (e) unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such claim shall have been given by any Seller Indemnified Party to Purchaser (x) promptly after it has notice of such claim (provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the obligations of Purchaser unless and only to the extent that Purchaser is actually prejudiced thereby) and (y) in all events prior to the Property Representation Expiration Date or the Remaining Representation Expiration Date, as applicable. The foregoing is not intended to limit any duty of any Seller Indemnified Party to mitigate damages to the extent required under applicable law.

 

In the event that such claim involves a claim by a third party against the Seller Indemnified Party which seeks Damages in an amount in respect of which indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.3 would be available, Purchaser shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to decide whether Purchaser will undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of Purchaser’s choosing (subject to the reasonable approval of the Seller Indemnified Party) and at its own expense, the settlement or defense thereof, and if Purchaser so decides, the Seller Indemnified Party shall cooperate with Purchaser in connection therewith, provided; that the Seller Indemnified Party may

 

45



 

participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by it, and provided further, that the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Seller Indemnified Party unless:  (a) the employment of such separate counsel shall have been approved by Purchaser in connection with the settlement or defense of such action, (b) Purchaser shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Seller Indemnified Party to direct the settlement or defense of such action, or (c) the Seller Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to Purchaser, in any of which events the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall constitute Damages hereunder. Purchaser shall have the sole right to settle or compromise any action which Purchaser determines to undertake, conduct and control as aforesaid, subject to the approval of the appropriate Seller Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion, if the amount of the settlement would not serve to release all of the Seller Indemnified Parties from any liability in connection with such claim. In the event Purchaser does not undertake to conduct and control the defense of any claim, no Seller Indemnified Party shall settle the same without the prior written approval of Purchaser, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

Purchaser and the Seller Indemnified Party shall cooperate reasonably in all aspects of any investigation, defense, pretrial activities, trial, compromise, settlement or discharge of any claim in respect of which indemnity is sought pursuant to this Section 6.3, including, but not limited to, by providing the other party with reasonable access to employees and officers (including as witnesses) and other reasonable non-privileged information.

 

6.3.3     Sole Recourse; Maximum Liability. Seller, on behalf of each Seller Indemnified Party, agrees that (i) its sole recourse in the event of a breach of any representation, covenant or warranty made by Purchaser hereunder or any claim for Damages, in each case if Closing has occurred, shall be solely to Purchaser, and not to any of its affiliates or any officers, directors, agents or representatives of Purchaser or its affiliates, provided that Purchaser maintains a net worth at least equal to the Purchaser Liability Cap through the Remaining Representation Expiration Date to satisfy its indemnity obligations hereunder, and (ii) Purchaser’s maximum aggregate liability to Seller, pursuant to this Agreement if the Closing has occurred, shall not otherwise exceed Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000.00) (the “Purchaser Liability Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser Liability Cap, as to any breach of Section 6.4.2 and 6.4.3 shall not exceed Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00). Seller further agrees to first use all reasonable efforts to seek recovery under any insurance policies and service contracts applicable to such claim prior to seeking recovery from Purchaser, and Purchaser shall not be liable to Seller for that portion of Seller’s claim which is satisfied from such insurance policies and service contracts. Purchaser agrees that it will maintain a net worth of at least exceed Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00) through the Remaining Representations Expiration Date.

 

6.4           Covenants of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby covenants with Seller that Purchaser shall furnish to Seller copies of any third party reports received by Purchaser in connection with any inspection of the Property for the presence of Hazardous

 

46



 

Substances. Purchaser hereby assumes full responsibility for such inspections and, except for claims based on representations or warranties contained in Section 5.3.6 or based on Section 5.5.2(iii) hereof irrevocably waives any claim against Seller arising from the presence of Hazardous Substances on the Property. Purchaser shall also furnish to Seller, without representation or warranty, express or implied, copies of any other third party reports received by Purchaser relating to any other inspections of the Property conducted on Purchaser’s behalf, if any (including, specifically, without limitation, any reports analyzing compliance of the Property with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), 42 U.S.C. §12101, et seq., if applicable), but excluding any appraisals or other evaluations of value.

 

6.4.1     Ownership in Compliance with the REIT Rules. As of the Closing and after giving effect to the acquisition of the Shares by Purchaser and at all times during the portion of the taxable year of each Trust that begins as of the Closing and ends after the Closing, not more than fifty percent (50%) in value of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of each of the Trusts will be owned, directly or indirectly, or through the application of the attribution rules of Code section 544 (as modified by Code section 856(h)(1)(B)), by five (5) or fewer individuals (defined in Code section 542(a)(2) (as modified by Code section 856(h)(3)) to include certain entities).

 

6.4.2     Continuation of REIT Election.

 

(i)            Purchaser covenants that after the Closing it will take all necessary steps, or forebear from taking steps (or cause each Trust to take (or forebear from taking such steps, as the case may be) as may be needed) to maintain the classification and treatment of the Trusts as REITs for the Trusts’ taxable year that includes the Closing.

 

(ii)           Purchaser covenants that it will take all steps within its control (including for example, causing the Trusts to make distributions that qualify for the dividends paid deductions set forth in Section 857(b)(2)(B) of the Code and Section 561 of the Code) such that each Trust satisfies the 90% distribution requirement of Code Section 857(a)(1) and each Trust’s real estate investment trust taxable income (as defined in Section 857(b)(2) of the Code) will be reduced to zero for the taxable year of such Trust that includes the Closing.

 

(iii)         Purchaser covenants and agrees that prior to January 1, 2008, no Trust shall acquire, accept transfer of, or hold, or allow any subsidiary to acquire, accept transfer of, or hold, any assets other than the property that each Trust holds immediately prior to the Closing.

 

(iv)          Purchaser covenants that no Trust will take any action that is inconsistent with the Trust’s status as a REIT for periods ending on or before December 31, 2006.

 

6.4.3     Subsequent Filings. Promptly after Closing, Purchaser shall cause to be filed in the states of Delaware, Maryland and Illinois name change certificates to

 

47



 

delete from the legal name of each Trust any reference to “Beacon Capital” or “BCSP” and Purchaser shall provide evidence to Seller of such filings promptly thereafter.

 

6.4.4     Tax Matters. To cooperate with Seller to the extent provided for in Section 5.7, including, without limitation, causing the tax returns to be signed by Purchaser, as applicable.

 

6.4.5     Information regarding Purchaser’s Potential Compliance with REIT Status. Following the Closing, Purchaser shall promptly provide such information as is reasonably requested by Seller or Seller’s third-party consultants with respect to Purchaser’s ability to cause each Trust to maintain its status as a REIT for such Trust’s taxable year that includes the Closing, including, without limitation, an opinion of Purchaser’s counsel, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4.6.1 (modified as reasonably needed to reflect the fact that Purchaser’s counsel will address post-Closing REIT compliance and modified to provide that, with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser’s counsel may rely on the opinion of Goodwin Procter LLP dated as of the Closing Date and described in Section 4.6.1), regarding each Trust’s conformity, since the Closing Date, with the requirements for qualification and treatment as a REIT during its taxable year that includes the Closing.

 

The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall survive Closing.

 

7.             DEFAULT

 

7.1           Default by Purchaser. In the event that Purchaser defaults in its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for any reason other than:  (x) Seller’s default hereunder, (y) a failure of a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder or (z) the permitted termination of this Agreement by Seller or Purchaser as herein expressly provided, prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive, liquidate (by Escrow Agent drawing upon the Acceptable Letters of Credit) and retain the Deposit as liquidated damages and as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy for a breach of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement prior to Closing. Thereafter, except for Purchaser’s obligations which by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser shall have no further obligations to each other. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that the damages to Seller in the event of a breach of this Agreement prior to Closing would be difficult or impossible to determine, that the amount of the Deposit represents the parties best and most accurate estimate of the damages that would be suffered by Seller if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement should fail to close and that such estimate is reasonable under the circumstances existing as of the date of this Agreement and under the circumstances that Seller and Purchaser reasonably estimate would exist at the time of such breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement that survive Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, then Seller shall be entitled to pursue any and all remedies available at or law or in equity, as a result of such default, including, without limitation the right to recover damages against Purchaser, including, without limitation, damages suffered by Seller and/or its direct and indirect partners as a result of one or more of the Trusts not

 

48



 

qualifying as a REIT for such Trust’s taxable year beginning January 1, 2007, subject to Section 6.3. The provisions of this Section 7.1 shall survive Closing. With respect to any default by Purchaser after Closing, Seller acknowledges and agrees that Seller’s sole remedy shall governed by the terms of Section 6.3 hereof.

 

7.2           Default by Seller. In the event that Seller defaults in its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for any reason other than:  (x) Purchaser’s default hereunder, (y) a failure of a condition precedent to Seller’s obligations hereunder or (z) the permitted termination of this Agreement by Seller or Purchaser as herein expressly provided, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, either (a) to receive the return of the Deposit, which return and reimbursement shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller from any and all liability hereunder, or (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligation to execute the documents required to convey the Shares to Purchaser, it being understood and agreed that the remedy of specific performance shall not be available to enforce any other obligation of Seller hereunder. Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages of any kind in the event of Seller’s default hereunder prior to Closing. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive back the Deposit if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in Maryland, on or before sixty (60) days following the date upon which Closing was to have occurred. With respect to any default by Seller after Closing, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser’s sole remedy shall governed by the terms of Section 5.5 hereof.

 

8.             RISK OF LOSS

 

8.1           Minor Damage. In the event of loss or damage to the Property which is not “major”, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect provided Seller performs any necessary repairs or, at Seller’s option, provides that all right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds each Trust or their subsidiaries may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the Property are assigned to Purchaser or retained by the Applicable Trust or the Property LLCs. In the event that Seller elects to have the Property LLCs perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to cause such repairs to be completed promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. If Seller elects to cause a casualty claim to remain in a Trust or their subsidiaries, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the deductible amount under the applicable insurance policy, and, subject to Seller’s rights under Section 8.4, the amount of any uninsured loss. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to a casualty or condemnation to the Property shall pass to Purchaser due to its ownership of the Trusts and their subsidiaries.

 

8.2           Major Damage. In the event of a “major” loss or damage, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) days after Seller sends Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of major loss or damage, then Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with

 

49



 

Closing, in which event Seller shall, at Seller’s option, either (a) perform or cause the Property LLCs to perform any necessary repairs, or (b) take such steps to ensure that the Trusts or the Property LLCs retain all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller, the Trusts and the Property LLCs may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the Property, notwithstanding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. If Seller elects to assign a casualty claim to Purchaser, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy, and, subject to Seller’s rights under Section 8.4, the amount of any uninsured loss. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to a casualty or condemnation to the Property shall pass to Purchaser due to its ownership of the Trusts and the Property LLCs.

 

8.3           Definition of “Major” Loss or Damage. For purposes of Sections 8.1 and 8.2, “major” loss or damage refers to the following:  (i) loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof such that the cost of repairing or restoring the Property, in the aggregate, to a condition substantially identical to that of the Property prior to the event of damage would be, in the opinion of an architect selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Purchaser, equal to or greater than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00), (ii) any loss due to a condemnation which permanently and materially impairs the current use of the Property or results in a reduction in the value of the Property in the aggregate in excess of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00), as determined by reference to the amount of the condemnation award, or (iii) any material (judged across the Property as a whole) loss, through condemnation, of access, parking or development or air rights relating to the Property as reasonably determined by Purchaser, or if the proposed condemnation would result in the loss of or a change in the Property’s status as a legally conforming use. If Purchaser does not give notice to Seller of Purchaser’s reasons for disapproving an architect within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of the proposed architect, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the architect selected by Seller.

 

8.4           Uninsured Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a loss or damage to any of the Property, for which no insurance or other third party compensation is available to reimburse the cost to remedy such loss or damage and such uninsured loss exceeds Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00), then within ten (10) days of Seller sending written notice to Purchaser of such uninsured loss, Seller shall either elect to:  (1) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, or (2) give a credit to Purchaser at Closing equal in amount to the cost to remedy the uninsured loss, as reasonably determined by Seller and Purchaser, provided that if the parties are unable to agree on the amount of the uninsured loss to be credited against the Purchase Price, either party may terminate the Agreement.

 

50



 

9.             COMMISSIONS

 

9.1           Brokerage Commissions. In the event the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is consummated, but not otherwise, Seller agrees to pay to Eastdil Secured, L.L.C. (“Broker”) at Closing a brokerage commission pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Broker. Each party agrees that should any claim be made for brokerage commissions or finder’s fees by any broker or finder, through or on account of any acts of said party or its representatives, said party will indemnify and hold the other party free and harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

10.           DISCLAIMERS AND WAIVERS

 

10.1         No Reliance on Documents. Except as expressly stated herein, Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of any materials, data or information delivered by Seller to Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that all materials, data and information delivered by Seller to Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby are provided to Purchaser as a convenience only and that any reliance on or use of such materials, data or information by Purchaser shall be at the sole risk of Purchaser, except as otherwise expressly stated herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (a) any environmental or other report with respect the Property which is delivered by Seller to Purchaser shall be for general informational purposes only, (b) Purchaser shall not have any right to rely on any such report delivered by Seller to Purchaser, but rather will rely on its own inspections and investigations of the Property and any reports commissioned by Purchaser with respect thereto, and (c) neither Seller, any affiliate of Seller nor the person or entity which prepared any such report delivered by Seller to Purchaser, shall have any liability to Purchaser for any inaccuracy in or omission from any such report.

 

10.2         DISCLAIMERS AND WAIVERS. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT SELLER IS NOT MAKING AND HAS NOT AT ANY TIME MADE ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS AS TO HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ZONING, TAX CONSEQUENCES, LATENT OR PATENT PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION, UTILITIES, OPERATING HISTORY OR PROJECTIONS, VALUATION, GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS, THE COMPLIANCE OF THE PROPERTY WITH LAWS, THE TRUTH, ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF SELLER TO PURCHASER, OR ANY OTHER MATTER OR THING REGARDING THE PROPERTY.

PROVIDED OTHERWISE IN THIS AGREEMENT. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER HAS NOT RELIED AND WILL NOT RELY ON, AND SELLER IS NOT LIABLE FOR OR BOUND BY, ANY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, GUARANTIES, STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE SHARES OR THE PROPERTIES OR RELATING THERETO (INCLUDING SPECIFICALLY, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PROPERTY INFORMATION PACKAGES DISTRIBUTED WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY AND THE SHARES) MADE OR FURNISHED BY SELLER OR ANY REAL ESTATE BROKER OR AGENT REPRESENTING OR PURPORTING TO REPRESENT SELLER, TO WHOMEVER MADE OR GIVEN, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ORALLY OR IN WRITING, UNLESS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. PURCHASER REPRESENTS TO SELLER THAT PURCHASER HAS CONDUCTED, OR WILL CONDUCT PRIOR TO CLOSING, SUCH INVESTIGATIONS OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS THEREOF, AS PURCHASER DEEMS NECESSARY TO SATISFY ITSELF AS TO THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY AND THE EXISTENCE OR NONEXISTENCE OR CURATIVE ACTION TO BE TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO ANY HAZARDOUS OR TOXIC SUBSTANCES ON OR DISCHARGED FROM THE PROPERTY, AND WILL RELY SOLELY UPON SAME AND NOT UPON ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF SELLER OR ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES WITH RESPECT THERETO, OTHER THAN SUCH REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF SELLER AS ARE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.

10.3         Effect and Survival of Disclaimers. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that the compensation to be paid to Seller for the Shares has been decreased to take into

 

52



 

account that the Shares are being sold subject to the provisions of this Article 10. Seller and Purchaser agree that the provisions of this Article 10 shall survive Closing.

 

11.           MISCELLANEOUS

 

11.1         Confidentiality. Purchaser and its representatives shall hold in strictest confidence all data and information obtained with respect to Seller, the Transferred Companies, Illinois Manager, or the Property Managers (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) or its business, whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and shall not disclose the same to others; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed that Purchaser may disclose such data and information to the employees, consultants, accountants and attorneys of Purchaser provided that such persons are informed of the confidentiality provisions and are directed  to treat such data and information confidentially. In addition, to the extent that Purchaser determines that Purchaser is required to notify any federal, state or local governmental agency, or any other party, with respect to the conditions at the Property or as otherwise discovered by Purchaser, Purchaser shall notify Seller immediately, and Seller shall make such disclosures as Seller deems appropriate. If Seller determines that Seller will not make a disclosure and Purchaser feels that such disclosure is still required by law and notifies Seller to that effect, then Seller shall hire an independent consultant reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser to determine whether or not such disclosure is required and such determination will be binding upon both Seller and Purchaser. In the event this Agreement is terminated or Purchaser fails to perform hereunder, Purchaser shall promptly destroy or return to Seller any statements, documents, schedules, exhibits or other written information obtained from the Seller Parties in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated herein. It is understood and agreed that, with respect to any provision of this Agreement which refers to the termination of this Agreement and the return of the Deposit to Purchaser, such Deposit shall not be returned to Purchaser unless and until Purchaser has fulfilled its obligation to destroy or return to Seller any materials delivered to Purchaser by Seller. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or its agents or representatives of this Section 11.1, the Seller Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction restraining Purchaser or its agents or representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part, such confidential information. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Seller from pursuing any other available remedy at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) the foregoing covenant of confidentiality shall not be applicable to any information published by Seller as public knowledge or otherwise available in the public domain; (ii) Purchaser shall be permitted to disclose such information as may be recommended by Purchaser’s legal counsel in order to comply with all financial reporting, securities laws, court order, subpoena and other legal requirements applicable to Purchaser, including any required disclosures to the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (iii) any duty of confidentiality set forth in this Agreement shall terminate upon Closing. The provisions of this Section 11.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement prior to the Closing.

 

53



 

11.2         Public Disclosure. Any press release to the public of information with respect to the sale contemplated herein or any matters set forth in this Agreement will be made only in a form approved by Purchaser and Seller and their respective counsel (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), provided, however, either party shall have the right after Closing to issue a press release announcing the sale of the Shares and the resulting ownership and control of the Property without prior written approval of the other so long as the press release does not expressly disclose the economic terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser, and Seller and their respective agents may make such disclosures as are required by law or in connection with non-public marketing efforts or internal reporting requirements, including, without limitation, reports by either party to their respective investors. The provisions of this Section 11.2 shall survive Closing.

 

11.3         Discharge of Obligations.

11.4         Assignment. Purchaser may not assign its rights under this Agreement without first obtaining Seller’s written approval, which approval may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement, without first obtaining Seller’s written approval, to any wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser. In the event Seller’s written approval is given to an assignment of this Agreement, or if Purchaser assigns this Agreement as otherwise permitted, Purchaser shall nevertheless remain liable for the performance of all covenants and conditions of this Agreement, and, in the case of an assignment, such liability shall be joint and several. The provisions of this Section 11.4 shall survive Closing.

Any notice pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing by (a) personal delivery, or (b) reputable overnight delivery service with proof of delivery, or (c) United States Mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or (d) legible facsimile transmission sent to the intended addressee at the address set forth below, or to such other address or to the attention of such other person as the addressee shall have designated by written notice sent in accordance herewith, and shall be deemed to have been given either at the time of personal delivery, or, in the case of expedited delivery service or mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein, or, in the case of facsimile transmission, as of the date of the facsimile transmission provided that an original of such facsimile is also sent to the intended addressee by means described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above.

EPS Solutions, Inc., DHR International, Inc., Trizec Hahn 10/120 Fee, LLC, Trizec Hahn Regional Pooling, LLC, and others, as defendants, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Case No. 02 CH 20598 - The case involves Walsh Construction’s foreclosure of an $80,000 lien claim from work it did for EPS solutions, DHR International’s predecessor in interest. In the trial court, Walsh Construction was found to have a valid lien claim for $80,000, plus interest, and DHR International was found to owe the owner indemnity against the lien claim. DHR International appealed and posted a $125,000 letter of credit as security for a stay pending appeal. The Appellate Court recently affirmed the decision of the trial court, but DHR International has petitioned for a rehearing. When the previous owner sold the building, it gave the title company an indemnity, and the title company insured over the foreclosure proceedings.

One Financial Place Property LLC (“Landlord”)

 

 

 

Tenant:

 

Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (“Tenant”)

 

 

 

Building:

 

440 South LaSalle Street

 

 

Chicago, Illinois

 

 

 

Premises:

 

Between 59,560 and 73,501 rentable square feet (“RSF”) located, on the entire 37th and 38th floor and a portion of the 39th floor of the Building. Tenant’s Premises shall be calculated in accordance with BOMA 1996 standards.

 

 

 

 

 

The Building has the ability to provide space for Tenant’s emergency power, supplemental cooling, UPS and roof space requirements. Such use shall be at the then current market rates for such space.

 

 

 

Swing Space:

 

Effective July 1, 2007 the Building should have 14,722 RSF on the 32nd floor Tenant shall be allowed to use this space as swing space at no cost, except for utilities charges, during Tenant’s construction of its improvements.

 

 

 

39th Floor Premises:

 

Please note that the economic terms outlined in this proposal contemplate the use of Swing Space to accommodate Tenant’s reconstruction of its space. Costs in relation to making 20,312 RSF on the 39th floor available thus allowing Tenant to build out nearly the entire 39th floor and move into that floor with minimal disruption to its daily operations are also factored into this response. Morgan Stanley will be able to renovate its recently vacated space and continue to do so. Ideally, this will eliminate any groups or occupiers from having to “move twice” in the reconstruction process.

 

 

 

 

 

The delivery of the 39th floor premises is subject to Landlord relocating one existing tenant off of the 39th floor,. Delivery of Suite 3990 shall be subject to Landlord’s relocation of this tenant in a timely fashion.

Financial Escalation:

 

The Net Base Rental Rate shall be escalated by 2 ½% per annum beginning on the first anniversary of the Renewal Lease Term.

 

 

 

Net Free Rent:

(As example, if the lease is executed in June 30, 2007, Tenant’s Net Base Rent shall begin being abated on July 1, 2007. On January 1, 2008, until it is exhausted, Tenant shall receive a Net Base Rent credit for the total Net Base Rent paid from January 1-June 30, 2007).

In the event Tenant does not utilize all of the Initial Allowance towards the completion of its space, Tenant shall be allowed to credit up to $20.00 per RSF of the unused allowance towards payment of rent.
