Clark Street, Chicago, Illinois 60601, Attn: Nancy Castro.

shall be adjusted at the Date of Closing, so that the amount of the reduction of the principal balance of the Loans between the date hereof and the Date of Closing shall increase the cash payment payable at the Date of Closing pursuant to paragraph 2(b)(iii).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Purchaser and Lender cannot mutually agree upon the terms of the Loan assumption with respect any one or more of the Projects as provided in Section 32 hereof, then Purchaser shall have the option, at its cost and expense, to pay off or cause to be defeased, as appropriate and as permitted by the Loan documents, the Loans on those Projects, and in such event, the net Purchase Price paid to Sellers shall be reduced by the principal balances of the Loans for said Projects as of the Date of Closing, but shall not be reduced by the amount of any other related costs or expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with such pay offs or defeasances.

(vii)                           operating statements and real estate tax bills for the prior three (3) years in Seller’s possession, if any.

 

(b)                                 Subject to extension as provided below, from the Effective Date until 5:00 p.m. eastern time on the date that is thirty (30) days from and after the Effective Date (the “Examination Period”), Purchaser shall be given the opportunity to (i) make a physical inspection of the Land and Improvements, including an inspection of the environmental condition thereof upon prior notice  to the Seller and Tenants,

 

12



 

(ii) examine the Deliveries and other documents and files concerning the leasing, maintenance, operation and financial performance of the Property, (iii) conduct such non-invasive physical engineering and other studies and tests on or of each of the Projects upon prior notice to the Seller and Tenants and (iv) to interview Tenants upon prior notice to the Seller and Tenants, all as Purchaser deems appropriate in its sole discretion.  Where notice is required to be given pursuant to any subsection of the preceding sentence, such notice may be given to the designated parties by telephone or electronic mail.  Purchaser’s rights to make a physical inspection of the Property, to conduct such non-invasive physical engineering and other studies and tests on or of each of the Projects, and to interview Tenants are subject to the rights of Tenants under the Leases and no invasive inspection, including, but not limited to inspections of the roof, may be conducted without Sellers’ and Tenants’ express written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Purchaser shall provide a liability insurance policy naming the Sellers as additional insureds in an amount not less than $2,000,000 with respect to Purchaser’s inspections of the Property.  If the results of said inspections shall be, in the Purchaser’s absolute and sole discretion, unsatisfactory for any reason or no reason at all, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice of same to Sellers in writing prior to the expiration of the Examination Period, and upon delivery of such notice, this Agreement shall be null and void, the Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for any obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.  If Purchaser fails to deliver such a notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Examination Period, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and at such time the Deposit shall become nonrefundable to Purchaser except as otherwise provided herein.  Purchaser hereby indemnifies the Sellers, its partners, successors, assigns and Tenants from any loss, cost or expense resulting from Purchaser’s inspection.  This indemnity will survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Purchaser will secure all necessary committee approvals, including a German appraisal and depositary bank approval, prior to the expiration of the Examination Period.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that Sellers have not delivered to Purchaser, on or before the expiration of the Examination Period, written evidence from all of the Tenants declining their rights of first refusal under their Leases, then the Examination Period shall be extended for a period of fifteen (15) business days in order to permit the delivery of such evidence.  If, prior to the end of the Examination Period as extended, Sellers still have not delivered such written evidence to Purchaser with respect to all of the Tenants, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the end of the extended Examination Period.  In such event, Purchaser shall be entitled to a prompt refund of the Deposit, together with reimbursement of its third party out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Property, which amount shall be capped

 

13



 

as set forth in Section 11(b) of this Agreement.

 

10.                                 Examination of Title.

 

(a)                                  Initial Title Examination.  Not later than five (5) days following the Effective Date, Sellers shall furnish Purchaser with a commitment for title insurance for each Project (each, a “Title Commitment”) issued by Closing Agent, together with complete, copies of all recorded easements, restrictions, declarations and other exceptions affecting the respective Projects.  Purchaser shall have until the end of the Examination Period to examine the Title Commitments and to object to Sellers, in writing, to any title exceptions other than the Permitted Exceptions.  Except as provided below, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any title objections which could be raised based upon the contents of the Title Commitments, if said objections are not made by the end of the Examination Period.  If any Seller notifies Purchaser that any title defects will not be cured or corrected with respect to a particular Project, then this Agreement, at the option of Purchaser, may be terminated, in which event the Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser.  If Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement and agrees to take title to the Property subject to one or more title exceptions which were not initially acceptable to Purchaser, this transaction shall proceed to close as herein provided.  Sellers shall not be obligated to remove any title defect except for any Monetary Objections (as hereinafter defined), which Seller shall be obligated to cure (or insure, bond or endorse over).  For purposes of this Agreement, “Monetary Objections” shall mean (a) any mortgage, deed to secure debt, deed of trust, security interest or similar security instrument entered into by any Seller encumbering all or any part of the Property, other than the Mortgages to be assumed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (b) any mechanic’s, materialman’s or similar liens caused by Sellers, and  (c) any judgment of record against a Seller in a county or other applicable jurisdiction in which one or more of the Projects is located that has a material adverse effect on such Seller’s title to the applicable Project.  Sellers shall be obligated to cure (or insure, bond or endorse over) all Monetary Objections set forth in the Title Commitments, whether or not Purchaser expressly objects thereto in writing.  Furthermore, in the event that any Title Commitment or update thereto indicates a lien of ad valorem real or personal property taxes, assessments and governmental charges affecting all or any portion of the Property that are delinquent, Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Tenant to pay such delinquent taxes or assessments and obtain a discharge or such lien prior to Closing pursuant to such Tenant’s obligations under its Lease.

 

(b)                                 Pre-Closing “Gap” Title Defects.  Purchaser may, at or prior to Closing, notify Sellers in writing of any objections to title defects not caused by the acts of Purchaser and first raised by the Closing Agent or the surveyor between the effective date of the applicable Title Commitment and the Date of Closing that have a material and adverse effect on title to the Property.  Purchaser must notify Sellers of any such objections within three (3) business days of Purchaser’s learning of the matters and, in any event, not later than Closing, and Sellers shall

 

14



 

have the right, but not the obligation (except as to Monetary Objections), to cure such objections.  Within three (3) business days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice of objections, Sellers shall notify Purchaser in writing whether Sellers elect to attempt to cure such objections.  If Sellers elect to attempt to cure any such matters, the original scheduled date for Closing may, at Sellers’ option, be extended by a reasonable additional time to effect such cure, but in no event shall the extension exceed the earlier of: (i) fifteen (15) days after the original scheduled Date of Closing or (ii) the Drop Dead Close Date.  If Sellers elect not to cure any objections specified in Purchaser’s notice (other than the Monetary Objections), or if Sellers are unable to effect a cure prior to the Closing (or any date to which the Closing has been adjourned), Purchaser shall have the following options: (a) to accept a conveyance of the Property subject to the Permitted Exceptions, specifically including any matter objected to by Purchaser which Sellers are unwilling or unable to cure (or insure, bond or endorse over, as appropriate) other than the Monetary Objections; or (b) to terminate this Agreement by sending written notice thereof to Sellers, in which event the Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser.  If Sellers notify Purchaser that Sellers do not intend to attempt to cure any such title objection (other than the Monetary Objections), or if, having commenced attempts to cure any objection, Sellers later notify Purchaser that Sellers shall be unable to effect a cure thereof (other than the Monetary Objections), Purchaser shall, within three (3) business days after such notice has been given, but in no event later than the Drop Dead Close Date, notify Sellers in writing whether Purchaser shall elect to accept the conveyance under clause (a) or to terminate this Agreement under clause (b).

 

11.                                 Termination.

 

(a)                                  Sellers’ Remedies upon Purchaser’s Default.  If Purchaser defaults and fails to consummate the purchase of the Property pursuant to this Agreement for any reason other than default of Sellers or termination hereof pursuant to an express right granted to Purchaser in this Agreement, then Sellers, as their sole remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by notifying Purchaser thereof, in which event Closing Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Sellers as liquidated damages, whereupon neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as may expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Purchaser’s Remedies upon Sellers’ Default.  If Sellers fail to consummate the sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement for any reason other than default of Purchaser or termination hereof by Sellers in accordance with an express right granted to Sellers in this Agreement, Purchaser’s sole remedies shall be either (i) to receive a refund of the Deposit, together with its documented third-party costs and expenses incurred in connection with its inspection of the Property and negotiation of this Agreement, not to exceed Two Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($200,000.00) , which refund and reimbursement shall operate to terminate this Agreement, whereupon neither party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as may expressly survive the termination of

 

15



 

this Agreement, or (ii) to enforce specific performance of Sellers’ obligation to convey title to the Property to Purchaser.  At no time will Purchaser be permitted to file a lis pendens or other lien against the Properties or record this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Notice and Cure.  Neither Purchaser nor any Seller will be deemed to be in default hereunder until and unless such party has been given written notice of its failure to comply with the terms hereof and thereafter does not cure such failure within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice; provided, however, that this Section 11(c) will not be applicable to Purchaser’s failure to deposit the First Deposit or Second Deposit on the dates required hereunder or to a party’s failure to make any deliveries or payments required of such party on the Closing Date.  The Date of Closing will be automatically extended, if necessary, to provide such ten (10) business day cure period, provided that in no event shall the Date of Closing be extended beyond the Drop Dead Close Date.

 

12.                                 Leases.   Between the Effective Date and the Date of Closing, Sellers shall not, without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion:

 

(a)                                  terminate any Lease;

 

(b)                                 amend or in any way modify the terms of any Lease; or

 

(c)                                  grant any concessions or rent rebates to any Tenant in connection with its Lease for any period following the Date of Closing.

 

A copy of any termination, amendment, renewal or expansion of an existing Lease or of any new Lease (each, a “Proposed Lease Transaction”) that Seller wishes to execute between the Effective Date and the Date of Closing shall be submitted to Purchaser for its review prior to execution by Seller.  Purchaser’s failure to grant its approval or give written notice of its disapproval of any such Proposed Lease Transaction within five (5) business days after receipt of a copy of said document, together with a request for such consent, shall be deemed a disapproval of said Proposed Lease Transaction.

 

13.                                 Tenant EstoppelsPurchaser’s obligation to close the purchase and sale of the Property is further conditioned upon Purchaser receiving a Conforming Tenant Estoppel Certificate (as hereinafter defined) dated no more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing from each Tenant at every Project.  As used in this Agreement, the term “Conforming Tenant Estoppel Certificate” means a duly executed tenant estoppel in the form required by a Tenant’s Lease, that (a) does not contain any disclosure that is materially adverse to Purchaser and (b) does not reveal any default under the applicable Lease or a condition which with notice or the passage of time would constitute a default under the applicable Lease.  In the event that one or more Sellers fails to deliver a Conforming Tenant Estoppel Certificate as required by this Section 13, such failure shall constitute the failure of a condition, and Purchaser shall have the rights set forth in Section 5(a) hereof.

 

16



 

14.                                 Insurance and Damage to Properties.  In the event of a Major Casualty (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Sellers, in which event the Deposit shall be refunded promptly 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 such Major Casualty (which notice shall state the cost of repair or restoration thereof as opined by an architect as provided below), then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Project, in which event the applicable Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any claims and proceeds that Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies relating to the affected Project, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy or the cost of such repairs as determined below.  For purposes of this Section 14, “Major Casualty” refers to a loss or damage to any Project such that (a) the cost of repairing or restoring the Project in question to substantially the same condition which existed 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 ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price allocated to such Project, or (b) any Tenant in the Project would be permitted to terminate its Lease at the Project.  If Purchaser does not give written notice to Seller of Purchaser’s reasons for disapproving an architect within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of the proposed architect, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the architect selected by Seller.  In the event of loss or damage of any Project that does not constitute a Major Casualty, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, provided Seller assigns to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies relating to the Project in question, in which case the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy or the cost of such repairs.

 

15.                                 Condemnation.  In the event of a Major Condemnation (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser may terminate this Agreement only by written notice to Sellers, in which event the Deposit shall be refunded promptly 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 such Major Condemnation, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Project, in which event the applicable Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award or proceeds that Seller may have with respect to the affected Project, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to such condemnation award or proceeds.  For purposes of this Section 15, “Major Condemnation” refers to any condemnation proceeding or exercise of the right of eminent domain, either temporary or permanent, with respect to a Project such that (a) any Tenant in the Project would be permitted to terminate its Lease at the Project, (b) the rent payable by any Tenant under its Lease at the Project is materially reduced, or (c) the current use of the Project is permanently and materially impaired.  In the event of a condemnation of with respect to any Project that does not constitute a Major Condemnation, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, provided Seller assigns to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any condemnation awards or

 

17



 

proceeds relating to the Project in question.

25



 

refusal, pursuant to its Lease, to purchase the Property.  Within two (2) business days after the execution of this Agreement, Sellers shall submit this Agreement and/or any other materials required to be delivered pursuant to the terms of the Leases to Tenants for their review.  If any Tenant timely exercises its right to purchase the Property, Sellers shall deliver written notice of same to Purchaser (together with a copy of Tenant’s written exercise of such right), and this Agreement thereafter shall be terminated.  In such event, Purchaser shall be entitled to a prompt refund of the Deposit, together with reimbursement of its third party out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Projects, which amounts shall be capped as set forth in Section 11(b) of this Agreement.

31.                                 Confidentiality.  Purchaser and Sellers agree that, prior to Closing, the terms of this Agreement (including the Purchase Price) shall remain confidential and private in all respects, and that said terms shall not be disclosed directly to anyone, except their attorneys, advisors, agents, lenders, bankers, tax preparers, contractors, as required by law or court order or to other entities who may have a bona fide need to know the terms for tax, underwriting, investing or legal reasons; provided, however, Purchaser shall be permitted to disclose the existence of this Agreement and pertinent information relating hereto to its investors and in connection with its fundraising efforts in Germany.  Purchaser and Sellers agree not to contact, or respond to requests from, any media outlet regarding the terms of this Agreement prior to Closing without the prior written consent of all parties.  From and after Closing, either party may release to the public such information as such party is required to release under applicable United States securities laws or German investment laws and regulations governing real estate funds with respect to the sale contemplated herein or any matters set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Purchase Price.  Any public release of information not required by law from and after Closing by either party shall be subject to the other party’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

32.                                 Loan Assumptions.

 

(a)                                  Not more than five (5) business days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall formally apply to Lender, as the holder of the applicable Mortgage, for its consent to purchase the applicable Project and to assume the obligations under the Loan secured by such Mortgage in connection with its purchase of that Project.  Purchaser and each Seller agree to execute and deliver all documents that are reasonably required by Lender in order to accomplish the assumption of each Loan by Purchaser, and Sellers agree to otherwise reasonably cooperate with

 

26



 

Purchaser and Lender in order to facilitate the assumption by Purchaser of each Loan.  Purchaser shall pay all costs (including, without limitation, Lender’s legal fees and the one percent (1%) loan assumption fee specified in each Mortgage, but excluding any legal fees incurred by any Seller) incurred in connection with the consent and assumption process.  If Lender has not consented to the sale of any Project and assumption of its associated Mortgage by Purchaser or Purchaser’s permitted assignee within the time period set forth in the applicable Mortgage (each, a “Consent Period Expiration Date”), and if Purchaser and Lender have not otherwise mutually agreed upon the terms of the Loan assumption documentation as of the applicable Consent Period Expiration Date (which documentation shall include, without limitation, amendments to the Loan documents to (i) reflect the organizational structure of the new borrower under the Loan and to permit, without Lender consent, certain transfers of interests among new borrower and its affiliates, and (ii) provide that any change in the identity of the investors holding interests in the Fund shall not be deemed a transfer under the Loan documents and shall be permitted thereunder, together with any other modifications reasonably requested by Purchaser after its review of the Loan documents during the Examination Period), then Purchaser shall have the option (in lieu of the termination of this Agreement as provided below), at its cost and expense, by giving notice to Seller within three (3) business days after the applicable Consent Period Expiration Date, to pay off or cause to be defeased, as appropriate, the Loan secured by that Project in connection with the Closing, and in such event, the net Purchase Price paid to Sellers shall be reduced by the principal balance of the Loan for said Project as of the Date of Closing, but shall not be reduced by the amount of any other related costs or expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with such pay off or defeasance.  If Lender does not consent to the sale of a Project and assumption of its associated Mortgage by Purchaser prior to the Consent Period Expiration Date in accordance with the requirements set forth above, and if Purchaser does not timely deliver notice of its intent to pay off or defease any such Loan, then this Agreement shall be terminated and the Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Tenants exercise their right of first refusal to purchase the Property after the commencement by Purchaser of the loan assumption process contemplated by this Section 32, then Purchaser shall promptly receive a refund of the Deposit, together with reimbursement by Sellers of all documented costs and expenses for which Purchaser is responsible for payment in connection with the Loan assumption process, including, without limitation, any and all application, assumption and legal fees, not to exceed Two Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($200,000.00) (such reimbursement to be in addition to any reimbursement rights that Purchaser may have under Section 29 of this Agreement in such instance), which refund and reimbursement shall operate to terminate this Agreement, whereupon neither party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as may expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Purchaser and Sellers anticipate

 

27



 

that Lender will require a substitute guarantor or other security under each Loan with respect to any claims Lender may have arising from and after Closing with respect to the environmental indemnity and non-recourse carve-out provisions of the Loan documents (it being understood that Sellers’ guarantor will not be released from any obligations arising prior to Closing).  Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge that Purchaser shall offer to Lender as security for any such claims arising from and after closing the following with respect to each Loan:  (i) Kan Am Grund Kapitalanlagegesellschaft mbH, acting on its own behalf and not for the benefit of the Fund, shall be substituted as a replacement guarantor with respect to the environmental indemnity and non-recourse carve-out provisions of the Loan documents on terms substantially similar to those of Sellers’ existing guarantor, and (ii) the special purpose entity to which Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned with respect to the applicable Project pursuant to Section 19 hereof shall deposit in cash in an interest bearing account designated by Lender an amount equal to six months’ rent payable by the Tenant or Tenants leasing said Project (each, a “Loan Security Deposit”).  Any interest earned on the Loan Security Deposits shall inure to the benefit of Purchaser.  In the event of a successful claim by Lender with respect to the environmental indemnity and non-recourse carve-out provisions of the Loan documents, and after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods thereunder, Lender shall be permitted to draw upon the appropriate Loan Security Deposit to pay any such claims.  Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that in the event Lender rejects the proposal set forth in this Section 32(b) at any time prior to Closing, and if Purchaser and Lender cannot otherwise mutually agree upon an alternative security arrangement, with any such other agreement being acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Sellers, in which event the Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser.

 

(c)                                  Each Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from Lender prior to the expiration of the Examination Period either (i) a written estoppel certificate on Lender’s standard form, or otherwise substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit R (each, a “Lender Estoppel”) with respect to the Loan for each Project, certifying at a minimum, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and the date through which interest has been paid, the list of documents which evidence the Loan, including, without limitation, all amendments or modifications thereto, and that no notice of default under the such loan documents has been given by Lender to the applicable Seller, or (ii) an agreement from Lender to incorporate the certifications set forth above in subsection (i) into the respective assumption documentation for each respective Loan.  Sellers’ inability to obtain an executed Lender Estoppel or commitment pursuant to subsections (i) or (ii) above prior to the expiration of the Examination Period shall not be considered a default of Sellers’ obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, Sellers agree that in such instance, if Purchaser elects to proceed with the Closing and waives its right to terminate the Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the Examination Period pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof, Sellers shall thereafter

 

28



 

continue to cooperate with Purchaser and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the same prior to Closing.

 

33.                                 Tax-Deferred Exchange.    Either Seller or Purchaser may sell or acquire the Property as part of a tax-deferred exchange of real estate pursuant to the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code as amended from time to time.  Either party shall be entitled to use a third-party intermediary as part of the tax-deferred exchange, and the parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other to accomplish such tax-deferred exchange(s), provided that (a) it is understood and agreed that the party requesting the exchange shall be required to pay all costs and expenses of the exchange, (b) the non-requesting party shall not be required to make any representation or warranty relative to the condition of any real estate or be required to take title to any real estate other than the Property and (c) the exchange must otherwise be accomplished without reduction or alteration of the rights of the non-requesting party under this Agreement.

 

34.                                 Special Provisions Related to Markham ProjectThe provisions of Exhibit S attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference shall apply to the purchase and sale of the Markham Project, and to the extent of any conflicts between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of Exhibit S, the provisions of Exhibit S shall control with respect to the Markham Project.

 

35.                                 Markham Rental Withholding Taxes.  During the Examination Period, and continuing up to the Date of Closing if necessary, Purchaser shall finalize the ownership structure for its special purpose entity (“Markham SPE”) that shall take assignment of Purchaser’s rights to acquire the Markham Project pursuant to Section 19 hereof.  Thereafter, Purchaser shall confer with AMEX Canada, as the Tenant at the Markham Project, to (a) establish an arrangement under the Lease that complies with any withholding obligations that may be applicable to Markham SPE under Part XIII of the Income Tax Act, if any, and (b) negotiate the terms of an appropriate amendment to the Lease to evidence such arrangement.  In the event that Purchaser has not agreed to such an arrangement or amendment with AMEX Canada as of the Date of Closing, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that unless and until such an arrangement is agreed upon, AMEX Canada may and shall withhold from any rent payments due and payable to Markham SPE from and after Closing any amounts required to be withheld from such rent pursuant to Part XIII of the Income Tax Act.  In the event that the condition set forth in Section 5(b)(5) hereof is not satisfied on or before the Closing Date, and if Sellers elect to waive such condition and proceed to Closing, then Markham SPE shall agree to indemnify Sellers for any losses suffered as a result of Markham SPE’s failure to comply with any such tax obligations arising under Part XIII of the Income Tax Act with respect to rents payable from and after Closing pursuant to the Markham Project Lease.  In such event, Purchaser shall cause Markham SPE to deliver at Closing an indemnification agreement reasonably acceptable to Sellers, which agreement shall also provide that any third party purchaser to whom the Markham Project is subsequently sold shall assume the indemnification obligations set forth therein for any claims or obligations arising thereunder from and after the date of such third party purchaser’s acquisition of the Markham Project.  Furthermore, in the event that AMEX Canada has not committed in writing prior to

 

29



 

Closing to look solely to Sellers (or their affiliates under the Indemnity Agreement and Indemnification Guaranty) for any tax obligations or claims arising with respect to rents due and payable prior to Closing under Part XIII of the Income Tax Act, Sellers hereby acknowledge that they (and their affiliates under the Indemnity Agreement and Indemnification Guaranty) shall remain liable for all such obligations and shall indemnify Markham SPE and Purchaser from and against any losses suffered in connection therewith from and after Closing, including, without limitation, any exercise by AMEX Canada of its rental setoff rights with respect to such tax obligations under its Lease.  In such event, Sellers agree that they shall deliver at Closing an indemnification agreement reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, and Sellers’ obligations thereunder shall be guaranteed by Guarantor.  Sellers agree that they shall cooperate in good faith with Purchaser and AMEX Canada and use commercially reasonable efforts in order to secure the releases of their or their affiliates’ obligations as described in
Section 5(b)(5) hereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties acknowledge that Purchaser shall in no event be obligated to take an assignment of or assume the Indemnity Agreement or the Indemnification Guaranty.
