If any taxes which have been apportioned shall subsequently be reduced by abatement, the amount of such abatement, less the cost of obtaining the same and after deduction of sums payable to tenants under Leases or expired or terminated Leases, shall be equitably apportioned between the parties hereto.

The amount of such prorations shall be initially performed at Closing but shall be subject to adjustment in cash after the Closing as and when complete and accurate information becomes available, if such information is not available at the Closing.

Purchaser’s Right of Inspection; Feasibility Period

 

5.1. Right to Evaluate. Commencing on the date of this Agreement and continuing until 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, February 2, 2004, (the “Feasibility Period”), Purchaser and its agents shall have the right during business hours (with reasonable advance notice to Seller and subject to the rights of the tenants in possession), at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and at Purchaser’s and its agents’ sole risk, to perform inspections and tests of the Property and to perform such other analyses, inquiries and investigations as Purchaser shall deem necessary or appropriate; provided, however, that in no event shall (i) such inspections or tests unreasonably disrupt or disturb the on-going operation of the Property or the rights of the tenants at the Property, or (ii) Purchaser or its agents or representatives conduct any physical testing, drilling, boring, sampling or removal of, on or through the surface of the Property (or any part or portion thereof) including, without limitation, any ground borings or invasive testing of the Improvements (collectively, “Physical Testing”), without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. In the event Purchaser desires to conduct any such Physical Testing of the Property, then Purchaser shall submit to Seller, for Seller’s approval, a written detailed description of the scope and extent of the proposed Physical Testing, which approval may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. If Seller does not approve the Physical Testing or approves only a portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by sending written notice to Seller, elect to, either (i) terminate this Agreement or (ii) conduct during the Feasibility Period that portion of the Physical Testing approved by Seller, if any, or if Seller disapproves the entire proposed Physical Testing, affirmatively agree to forego any Physical Testing of the Property. In the event Purchaser terminates this Agreement as aforesaid, the Deposit shall be immediately refunded to Purchaser and this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect other than the Surviving Termination Obligations (as hereinafter defined). In no event shall Seller be obligated as a condition of this transaction to perform or pay for any environmental remediation of the Property recommended by any such Physical Testing. After making such tests and inspections, Purchaser agrees to promptly restore the Property to its condition prior to such tests and inspections (which obligation shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement). Prior to Purchaser entering the Property to conduct the inspections and tests described above, Purchaser shall obtain and maintain, at Purchaser’s sole cost and

expense, and shall deliver to Seller evidence of, the following insurance coverage, and shall cause each of its agents and contractors to obtain and maintain, and, upon request of Seller, shall deliver to Seller evidence of, the following insurance coverage: general liability insurance, from an insurer reasonably acceptable to Seller, in the amount of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit for personal injury and property damage per occurrence which insurance shall provide coverage against any claim for personal liability or property damage caused by Purchaser or its agents, employees or contractors in connection with such inspections and tests. Seller shall have the right, in its discretion, to accompany Purchaser and/or its agents during any inspection (including, but not limited to, tenant interviews) provided Seller or its agents do not unreasonably interfere with Purchaser’s inspection.

 

5.2. Inspection Obligations and Indemnity. Purchaser and its contractors shall: (a) not unreasonably disturb the tenants of the Improvements or interfere with their use of the Real Property pursuant to their respective Leases; (b) not interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Real Property; (c) not damage any part of the Property or any personal property owned or held by any tenant; (d) not injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller, its agents, contractors and employees or any tenant; (e) promptly pay when due the costs of all tests, investigations and examinations done with regard to the Property; (f) not permit any liens to attach to the Property by reason of the exercise of its rights hereunder; (g) restore the Improvements and the surface of the Real Property to the condition in which the same was found before any such inspection or tests were undertaken; and (h) not reveal or disclose any information obtained during the Feasibility Period concerning the Property to anyone outside Purchaser’s organization other than its agents, consultants, contractors, attorneys, accountants and representatives. Purchaser shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances or policies in conducting its inspection of the Property and Physical Testing. Purchaser shall, and does hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Seller, its partners, agents and their respective successors and assigns, harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, obligations, payments, damages, losses, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees) arising out of Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s agents’ actions taken in, on or about the Property in the exercise of the inspection right granted pursuant to Section 5.1, including, without limitation, (i) claims made by any tenant against Seller for Purchaser’s entry into such tenant’s premises or any interference with any tenant’s use or damage to its premises or property in connection with Purchaser’s review of the Property, and (ii) Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to this Section 5.2. This Section 5.2 shall survive the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement.

 

5.3. Seller Deliveries. Seller shall use its reasonable, good faith efforts to deliver to Purchaser or make available at the Property, at Seller’s option, all of the items specified on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Documents”), within five (5) business days after the Effective Date to the extent such items are in Seller’s possession; provided, however, except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 7.1 hereof, Seller makes no representations or warranties of any kind regarding the accuracy, thoroughness or completeness of or

 

- 8 -


conclusions drawn in the information contained in such documents, if any, relating to the Property. Purchaser hereby waives, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.1 any and all claims against Seller arising out of the accuracy, completeness, conclusions or statements expressed in materials so furnished and any and all claims arising out of any duty of Seller to acquire, seek or obtain such materials. Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding sentence, Seller shall not deliver or make available to Purchaser Seller’s internal memoranda, attorney-client privileged materials, internal appraisals and economic evaluations of the Property, and reports regarding the Property prepared by Seller or its affiliates solely for internal use or for the information of the investors in Seller. Purchaser acknowledges that any and all of the Documents that are not otherwise known by or available to the public are proprietary and confidential in nature and will be delivered to Purchaser solely to assist Purchaser in determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property. Purchaser agrees not to disclose such non-public Documents, or any of the provisions, terms or conditions thereof, to any party outside of Purchaser’s organization other than its agents, consultants and representatives. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Lease for Weatherford International, Inc., contains various rights of first offer and rights of first refusal relating to the Property. In the event Weatherford International, Inc. claims or alleges that it has not waived its right to purchase or otherwise acquire the Building under its Lease with respect to the sale from Seller to Purchaser contemplated by this Agreement, each of Seller and Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. Purchaser shall return all of the Documents, on or before three (3) business days after the first to occur of (a) such time as Purchaser notifies Seller in writing that it shall not acquire the Property, or (b) such time as this Agreement is terminated for any reason. This Section 5.3 shall survive any termination of this Agreement without limitation.

 

5.4. Independent Examination. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it has been, or will have been given, prior to the termination of the Feasibility Period, a full, complete and adequate opportunity to make such legal, factual and other determinations, analyses, inquiries and investigations as Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the acquisition of the Property. Purchaser is relying upon its own independent examination of the Property and all matters relating thereto and not upon any statements of Seller (excluding the limited matters expressly represented by Seller in Section 7.1 hereof) or of any officer, director, employee, agent or attorney of Seller with respect to acquiring the Property. Seller shall not, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 7.1, be deemed to have represented or warranted the completeness or accuracy of any studies, investigations and reports heretofore or hereafter furnished to Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 5.4 shall survive Closing and/or termination of this Agreement.

 

5.5. Termination Right. In the event that Purchaser determines, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, that it does not desire, for any or no reason, to acquire the Property, Purchaser shall provide written notice to Seller before the end of the Feasibility Period, and, subject to the Surviving Termination Obligations (as defined in Section 16.12 herein), this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit shall be delivered to Purchaser and thereupon neither party shall have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder. If Purchaser shall

 

- 9 -


fail to timely notify Seller in writing of its election to terminate this Agreement on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, time being of the essence, the termination right described in this Section 5.5 shall be immediately null and void and of no further force or effect. Purchaser’s failure to provide such notice on or before the end of the Feasibility Period shall constitute Purchaser’s waiver of the herein-described termination right. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, this is an “all or none” transaction and Purchaser has no right to terminate this Agreement as to any part of the Property.

 

5.6. Elevator Capital Improvements and Repairs by Seller. Seller has entered into a contract for certain elevator improvements to the elevators in the Building with Schindler Elevator Corp. dated January 6, 2004 (the “Elevator Contract”). Seller shall be responsible for the $299,604 cost of the work as described in the Elevator Contract, and, to the extent all the work is not completed thereunder by the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall receive a credit in the Purchase Price, which would be otherwise due, for the unfunded portion of the Elevator Contract. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver lien waivers, evidence of work in place and such other material and information as is reasonably necessary so that Purchaser can determine the amount of money necessary to finish such work, and the amount of the credit against the purchase price. At Closing, Purchaser shall assume the Elevator Contract and Seller’s obligations under the Elevator Contract and Seller shall be fully released therefrom.

 

ARTICLE VI.

 

Title and Survey Matters

 

6.1. Title. Purchaser shall receive, within a day after this Agreement is duly executed and delivered by all parties thereto, a current title insurance commitment (the “Commitment”) for an Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance from Chicago Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”), covering the Real Property, together with a copy of all exceptions set forth therein. Purchaser shall notify Seller within five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period in writing of any title exceptions identified in the Commitment which Purchaser reasonably disapproves. Any exception, exclusion from coverage or other matter shown in the Commitment as of the end of the Feasibility Period or otherwise not disapproved in writing within said time period shall be deemed approved by Purchaser and shall constitute a “Permitted Exception” hereunder. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that (i) all non-delinquent property taxes and assessments payable during 2004 and subsequent years, (ii) the rights of the tenants under the Leases and Approved New Leases (hereinafter defined), (iii) all matters created by or on behalf of Purchaser, including, without limitation, any documents or instruments to be recorded as part of any financing for the acquisition of the Property by Purchaser, and (iv) the exceptions to title identified on Exhibit D attached hereto, shall constitute “Permitted Exceptions”. Without Seller’s prior written consent, Purchaser shall not make any application to any governmental agency for any permit, approval, license or other entitlement for the Property or the use or development thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such title encumbrance results from a

 

- 10 -


matter willfully caused by Seller from and after the Effective Date, Seller must take affirmative action to cure such title defect and the failure of Seller to do so shall constitute a breach of this Agreement. Further, Seller must satisfy on or before the Closing (whether by payment, bonding around or otherwise), all mortgages and other liens filed against the Property as a result of Seller’s acts in order to permit the Title Company to issue the Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance free from any such liens, or Seller must pay a portion of the Purchase Price otherwise due to Seller at Closing, to satisfy such liens.

 

6.2. Survey. Purchaser shall receive, within a day after this Agreement is duly executed and delivered by all parties thereto, a current survey for the Property (the “Survey”) dated January 6, 2004. If the Survey discloses any matters which are unacceptable to Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period. Any survey matter shown on the Survey as of the end of the Feasibility Period or otherwise not disapproved in writing within said time period shall be deemed approved by Purchaser and shall constitute a “Permitted Exception” hereunder. Seller may, at its sole election, on or before the Closing Date, have the matters to which Purchaser has objected removed; provided, however, in no event will Seller be obligated to incur costs to do so.

Raisides and Seller represents that the foregoing is the individual with the responsibility for overseeing the sale of the Property.

 

7.3. Change in Representation/Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser shall not be entitled to rely on any representation made by Seller in this Article VII to the extent, prior to or at Closing, Purchaser shall have or obtain actual knowledge of any information that was contradictory to such representation or warranty; provided, however, if Purchaser determines prior to Closing that there is a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by Seller above, then Purchaser may, at its option, by sending to Seller written notice of its election either (i) terminate this Agreement or (ii) waive such breach and proceed to Closing with no adjustment in the Purchase Price and Seller shall have no further liability as to such matter thereafter, except for liens resulting from Seller’s acts. In the event Purchaser terminates this Agreement for the reasons set forth above, the Deposit shall be immediately refunded to Purchaser and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall thereafter have any other rights or remedies hereunder other than under Section 16.12 hereof. In furtherance thereof, Seller shall have no liability with respect to any of the foregoing representations and warranties or any representations and warranties made in any other document executed and delivered by Seller to Purchaser, to the extent that, prior to the Closing, Purchaser discovers or learns of information (from whatever source, including, without limitation the property manager, the tenant estoppel certificates or any Seller’s Estoppel delivered pursuant to Section 10.2.2 below, as a result of Purchaser’s due diligence tests, investigations and inspections of the Property, or disclosure by Seller or Seller’s agents and employees) that contradicts any such representations and warranties, or renders any such representations and warranties untrue or incorrect, and Purchaser nevertheless consummates the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

7.4. Survival. The express representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall not merge into any instrument or conveyance delivered at the Closing; provided, however, that any action, suit or proceeding with respect to the truth, accuracy or completeness of such representations and warranties shall be commenced, if at all, on or before the date which is six (6) months after the date of the Closing and, if not commenced on or before such date, thereafter such representations and warranties shall be void and of no force or effect.

8.1.1 Authority. Purchaser is a limited partnership, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware, and to the extent necessary, is qualified to conduct business in the State in which the Property is located. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Purchaser, is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, and does not violate any provision of any agreement or judicial order to which Purchaser is a party or to which Purchaser is subject. All documents to be executed by Purchaser which are to be delivered at Closing, at the time of Closing will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by Purchaser, at the time of Closing will be legal, valid and binding obligations of Purchaser, and at the time of Closing will not violate any provision of any agreement or judicial order to which Purchaser is a party or to which Purchaser is subject.

 

8.1.2. ERISA Compliance. Purchaser has informed Seller and Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller that Purchaser is not a “plan” nor a plan “fiduciary” nor an entity holding “plan assets” (as those terms are defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and its applicable regulations as issued by the Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service, “ERISA”) nor an entity whose assets are deemed to be plan assets under ERISA and that Purchaser is acquiring the Property for Purchaser’s own personal account and that the Property shall not constitute plan assets subject to ERISA upon conveyance of the Property by Seller and the closing of this Agreement between Purchaser and Seller. Seller shall not have any obligation to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement if the transaction for any reason constitutes a prohibited transaction under ERISA or if Purchaser’s representation is found to be false or misleading in any respect. The foregoing representation and warranty shall survive the Closing.

 

- 13 -


8.1.3. No Financing Contingency. It is expressly acknowledged by Purchaser that this transaction is not subject to any financing contingency, and no financing for this transaction shall be provided by Seller.

 

8.1.4. OFAC. Neither Purchaser nor any of its affiliates, nor any of their respective partners, members, shareholders or other equity owners, and none of their respective employees, officers, directors, representatives or agents, is a person or entity with whom U.S. persons or entities are restricted from doing business under regulations of the OFAC (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action.

 

8.2. Purchaser’s Acknowledgment. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Seller has not made, does not make and specifically disclaims any representations, warranties, promises, covenants, agreements or guaranties of any kind or character whatsoever, whether express or implied, oral or written, past, present or future, of, as to, concerning or with respect to (a) the nature, quality or condition of the Property, including, without limitation, the water, soil and geology, (b) the income to be derived from the Property, (c) the suitability of the Property for any and all activities and uses which Purchaser may conduct thereon, (d) the compliance of or by the Property or its operation with any laws, rules, ordinances or regulations of any applicable governmental authority or body, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or in connection therewith, (e) the habitability, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose of the Property, or (f) any other matter with respect to the Property, and specifically that Seller has not made, does not make and specifically disclaims any representations regarding solid waste, as defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations at 40 C.F.R., Part 261, or the disposal or existence, in or on the Property, of any hazardous substance or hazardous waste, as defined by the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, and other applicable state laws, and regulations promulgated thereunder. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, having been given the opportunity to inspect the Property, Purchaser is relying solely on its own investigation of the Property and not on any information provided or to be provided by Seller. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that any information provided or to be provided with respect to the Property was obtained from a variety of sources and that Seller has not made any independent investigation or verification of such information. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in any closing document, and as a material inducement to the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller, the sale of the Property as provided for herein is made on an “AS IS, WHERE IS” CONDITION AND BASIS “WITH ALL FAULTS.” Purchaser acknowledges, represents and warrants that Purchaser is not in a significantly disparate bargaining position with respect to Seller in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; that Purchaser freely and fairly agreed to

 

- 14 -


this acknowledgment as part of the negotiations for the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; that Purchaser is represented by legal counsel in connection with this transaction and Purchaser has conferred with such legal counsel concerning this waiver. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall in no event have any liability for breach of any representation, warranty or covenant herein or in any closing document in excess of $500,000, in the aggregate.

 

8.3. Purchaser’s Release. Purchaser on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns waives its right to recover from, and forever releases and discharges, Seller, Seller’s partners, trustees and agents of each of them, and their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns from any and all demands, claims, legal or administrative proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs or expenses known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with (i) the physical condition of the Property, (ii) the condition of title to the Property, (iii) the presence on, under or about the Property of any hazardous or regulated substance, or (iv) the Property’s compliance with any applicable federal, state or local law, rule or regulation, except such as arises out of breach of any of the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Article VII. The release set forth in this Section 8.3 includes claims of which Purchaser is presently unaware or which Purchaser does not presently suspect to exist which, if known by Purchaser, would materially affect Purchaser’s release to Seller. The terms and provisions of this Section 8.3 shall survive Closing and/or termination of this Agreement.

 

8.4. Survival. The express representations and warranties made in this Agreement by Purchaser shall not merge into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Closing; provided, however, that any action, suit or proceeding with respect to the truth, accuracy or completeness of all such representations and warranties (except for the representation and warranty set forth in Section 8.1.3) shall be commenced, if at all, on or before the date which is nine (9) months after the date of the Closing and, if not commenced on or before such date, thereafter shall be void and of no force or effect. The representation and warranty set forth in Section 8.1.3 hereof shall survive Closing and/or termination of this Agreement.

- 16 -


10.2. Conditions to Obligations of Purchaser. The obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement to purchase the Property and consummate the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions on or before the Closing Date, except to the extent that any of such conditions may be waived by Purchaser in writing at Closing.

 

10.2.1. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Seller. All representations and warranties of Seller in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date, with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties were made anew as of the Closing Date. Any changes to such representations disclosed by Seller pursuant to Section 11.2.4 shall be acceptable to Purchaser, and Seller shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all covenants and agreement required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by Seller prior to the Closing Date.

Seller will deliver Purchaser copies of the signed tenant estoppel promptly following Seller’s receipt and, if Purchaser fails to deliver a written acceptance notice to Seller within two (2) business days following the date of delivery, such signed tenant estoppel will be deemed disapproved by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller will also use reasonable efforts to obtain a Tenant estoppel certificate from each of the other tenants in the Project, on the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (or, if different, the form and content required by the applicable Lease), with no material changes thereto, but such Tenant estoppel certificates from the tenants other than Weatherford shall not be a condition of Closing.

Risk of Loss.

If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain, or is the subject of a pending taking which has not been consummated, or is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller shall notify Purchaser of such fact promptly after Seller obtains knowledge thereof. If such condemnation or casualty is “Material” (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller given not later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of Seller’s notice, or the Closing Date, whichever is earlier. If this Agreement is terminated, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder except with respect to the Surviving Termination Obligations. If this Agreement is not terminated, Seller shall not be obligated to repair any damage or destruction but (x) Seller shall assign, without recourse, and turn over to Purchaser all of the insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds, as applicable, net of any costs of repairs and net of reasonable collection costs actually incurred by Seller (or, if such have not been awarded, all of its right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to such fire or other casualty or condemnation including any rent abatement insurance for such casualty or condemnation and (y) the parties shall proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Purchase Price except for a credit in the amount of the applicable insurance deductible.

 

12.2. Condemnation Not Material. If the condemnation is not Material, then the Closing shall occur without abatement of the Purchase Price and, after deducting Seller’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in collecting any award, Seller shall assign, without recourse, all remaining awards or any rights to collect awards to Purchaser on the Closing Date.

 

12.3. Casualty Not Material. If the Casualty is not Material, then the Closing shall occur without abatement of the Purchase Price except for a credit in the amount of the applicable deductible and Seller shall not be obligated to repair such damage or destruction and Seller shall assign, without recourse, and turn over to Purchaser all of the insurance proceeds net of any costs of repairs and net of reasonable collection costs (or, if such have not been awarded, all of its right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to such fire or such casualty including any rent abatement insurance for such casualty and credit the Purchase Price with the amount of any applicable insurance deductible.

 

12.4. Materiality. For purposes of this Article XII (i) with respect to a taking by eminent domain, the term “Material” shall mean any taking whatsoever, regardless of the amount of the award or the amount of the Property taken, excluding, however, any taking solely of (x) subsurface rights or takings for utility easements or right of way easements, if the surface of the Property, after such taking, may be used in substantially the same manner as though such rights had not been taken, or (y) a lease of less than 10% of the rentable

 

- 20 -


square feet of the applicable Project for a term of less than five years, or if the Weatherford lease can be terminated or is otherwise materially adversely impacted, as a result thereof or in connection therewith, and (ii) with respect to a casualty, the term “Material” shall mean any casualty such that the cost of repair, as reasonably estimated by Seller’s engineer, is in excess of 5% of the Purchase Price allocated to the applicable Project in Section 4.3, or if the Weatherford lease can be terminated or is otherwise materially adversely impacted, as a result thereof or in connection therewith.

Default

 

13.1. Default by Seller. In the event the Closing and the transactions contemplated hereby do not occur as provided herein by reason of the default of Seller, Purchaser may elect, as the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser, to (i) terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit from the Escrow Agent, and in such event Seller shall not have any liability whatsoever to Purchaser hereunder other than with respect to the Surviving Termination Obligations or (ii) enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligation to convey the Property, without adjustment to, or credit against, the Purchase Price. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement (as provided in subsection (i) above) if Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller written notice of its intent to file a cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before thirty (30) days after written notice of termination from Seller or thirty (30) days after the originally scheduled Closing Date, whichever shall occur first, or having given Seller notice, fails to file a lawsuit asserting such cause of action within sixty (60) days after the originally scheduled Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall limit Purchaser’s remedies at law or in equity, as to the Surviving Termination Obligations.

 

13.2. Default by Purchaser. IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY DO NOT OCCUR AS PROVIDED HEREIN BY REASON OF ANY DEFAULT OF PURCHASER, PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER. THEREFORE, PURCHASER AND SELLER HEREBY AGREE A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT PURCHASER DEFAULTS AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY IS AND SHALL BE, AS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY), A SUM EQUAL TO THE DEPOSIT. UPON SUCH DEFAULT BY PURCHASER, SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE THE DEPOSIT FROM THE ESCROW AGENT AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND THEREUPON THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE TERMINATED AND NEITHER SELLER NOR PURCHASER SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE SURVIVING TERMINATION OBLIGATIONS. THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE THE FULL, AGREED

 

- 21 -


AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR PURCHASER’S DEFAULT AND FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY, ALL OTHER CLAIMS TO DAMAGES OR OTHER REMEDIES BEING HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY SELLER. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL LIMIT SELLER’S REMEDIES AT LAW OR IN EQUITY AS TO THE SURVIVING TERMINATION OBLIGATIONS.

Any notice sent by Seller or Purchaser (the “Notifying Party”) to the Escrow Agent shall be sent simultaneously to the other noticed parties pursuant to Section 16.1 herein (the “Notice Parties”). If the Notice Parties do not object to the Notifying Party’s notice to the Escrow Agent within ten (10) days after the Notice Parties’ receipt of the Notifying Party’s certificate to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall be able to rely on the same. If the Notice Parties send, within such ten (10) days, written notice to the Escrow Agent disputing the Notifying Party’s certificate, a dispute shall exist and the Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit as hereinafter provided. The parties

 

- 27 -


hereto hereby acknowledge that Escrow Agent shall have no liability to any party on account of Escrow Agent’s failure to disburse the Deposit if a dispute shall have arisen with respect to the propriety of such disbursement and, in the event of any dispute as to who is entitled to receive the Deposit, disburse them in accordance with the final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or to deposit or interplead such funds into a court of competent jurisdiction pending a final decision of such controversy. The parties hereto further agree that Escrow Agent shall not be liable for failure to any depository and shall not be otherwise liable except in the event of Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed on an equal basis by Purchaser and Seller for any reasonable expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent arising from a dispute with respect to the Deposit.

16.18. No Recording. Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or short form hereof shall be recorded or filed in any public land or other public records of any jurisdiction, by either party and any attempt to do so may be treated by the other party as a breach of this Agreement.

The respective parties hereto shall and hereby do waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, or for the enforcement of any remedy under any statute, emergency or otherwise.

 

16.20. Waiver of Consumer Rights. Purchaser and Seller each waive their respective rights under the Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act, Section 17.41 et seq., Business & Consumer Code, a law that gives consumers special rights and protections.
