21. Escrow Agent.

 

A. It is understood and agreed that the duties of the Escrow Agent are purely ministerial in nature. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the Seller or Purchaser, or to anyone else, for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, except for acts of willful misconduct or negligence. The Escrow Agent may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained), which is reasonably believe by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a final order or judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, or a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall give its consent thereto.

 

B. If for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Agent for payment or refund, as the case may be, of all or any portion of the Earnest Money Deposit, including any additional payments deposited into escrow pursuant to this Agreement, such party shall, simultaneously with its written demand upon the Escrow Agent, give written notice of such demand to the other party by the same means of communication employed by such party to make demand upon the Escrow Agent. If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment or refund, as the case may be, within seven (7) business days after the receipt of such written demand by Escrow Agent and the other party, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment or refund, as the case may be; provided, however, if Escrow Agent

 

16


receives timely written objection from the other party, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions from both parties to this Agreement or until a judgment on the determination is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall make disposition thereof in accordance with such instructions or such order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Escrow Agent receives written notice that Purchaser has terminated this Agreement during the Inspection Period, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to immediately refund to Purchaser any deposits made by Purchaser which are refundable upon such termination in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without Seller’s consent or the notice and five-day waiting period requirements set forth above.

 

22. Weekends. Holidays. Etc. If the time period by which any right, option or election provided for under this Agreement must be exercised, or by which any act required hereunder must be performed, or by which the Closing must be held, expires on a day which is a Saturday, Sunday, or official federal or a state holiday for the state in which the Property is located, then such time period shall be automatically extended through the close of business on the next business day.

 

23. Further Assurances. From time to time, at either party’s request, whether on or after Closing, and without further consideration, the other party shall execute and deliver any further instruments of conveyance and take such other actions as the requesting party may reasonably require to complete more effectively the transfer of the Property to Purchaser, provided the same are customarily required in similar transactions in the city and state of New York.

 

24. Entire Agreement and Amendments. This Agreement, together with all exhibits attached hereto or referred to herein, contain all representations and the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any prior correspondence, memoranda or agreements are replaced in total by this Agreement and exhibits hereto. This Agreement may only be modified or amended upon the written consent of both parties.

 

25. Attorney’s Fees. In the event any dispute between the parties hereto should result in litigation, the prevailing party shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs, including but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees. This section shall survive the Closing.

 

26. Survival. None of the warranties and representations of either party contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing unless specifically get forth in this Agreement to survive. All provisions of this Agreement that are expressly set forth to survive shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

 

27. Governing Law. This Agreement and all transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Property is located. The parties herein waive trial by jury and agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of a court of subject matter jurisdiction located in the county in which the Property is located.

 

28. Miscellaneous.

 

A. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, changed, modified or discharged orally, except by an agreement in writing signed by the party against who any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

 

17


B. The captions or section titles contained in this Agreement are for convenience and reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this context of this Agreement.

 

C. Either party’s right to approve or disapprove matters as provided for in this Agreement shall be in the sole discretion of such party, unless otherwise set forth herein. No such approval or disapproval shall affect either party’s representations and warranties herein or waive any rights of either party to rely upon any of the representations and warranties of the other party.

 

D. Any references herein to either party in respect of an indemnity that runs to the benefit of such party shall be deemed to include the constituents of that party, including without limitation that party’s members and managers.

 

E. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

(Storage Deluxe, Fordham Road, Bronx, NY)

 

This Fourth Amendment to the Purchase and Sale Agreement is made and entered into as of the 6th day of May, 2004 (this “Amendment.”), by and between FORDHAM ROAD STORAGE PARTNERS, LLC (“Seller”) and EXTRA SPACE DEVELOPMENT, LLC (“Purchaser”).

 

WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated December 1, 2003, as amended by each of the First Amendment to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of January 23,2004, the Second Amendment to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of February 26, 2004, and the Third Amendment to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2004 (collectively, “Agreement”), for that certain self-storage facility located at 245 West Fordham Road, Bronx, NY 10468, as more particularly described in the Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties now desire to further amend the Agreement as set forth herein;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1. The Purchase Price shall be increased by One Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($150,000.00). Accordingly, the first sentence of Section 3 of the Agreement shall be amended to state: “The Purchase Price to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for the Property shall be the total sum of Fourteen Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($14,150,000.00), which sum shall be paid as follows and in accordance with Section 8C:”

 

2. The Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent within two (2) business days after the date hereof an additional Earnest Money Deposit under the Agreement in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) such that the total amount of the Earnest Money Deposit under the Agreement shall be One Million 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00). The Earnest Money Deposit under the Agreement in the amount of One Million 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) shall be non-refundable, except as otherwise set forth in the Agreement, and shall be credited to the Purchase Price at Closing.

 

3. The Closing Date (“Closing Date”) shall be the earlier of: (a) the date that is fourteen (14) days after the date that Purchaser’s Initial Public Offering becomes effective and the proceeds thereof have been received by Purchaser, and (b) August 16, 2004. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE, as to Purchaser only, as to the foregoing Closing Date. Failure by Purchaser to timely close title to the. Property as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a material default under the terms and conditions of the Agreement, entitling the non-defaulting party to obtain the remedies set forth for such party in Section 15 of the Agreement.

 

4. Purchaser hereby waives, as a condition to closing, the ability to assume the GECC Loan, as set forth in Section 9 A of the Agreement, and any and all references in the Agreement making closing subject to the assumption of the GECC Loan by Purchaser are hereby stricken and omitted in their entirety. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s election, elect to Close title on or before the Closing Date (the “Closing Election”) by either: (i) paying off and satisfying the GECC Loan, in which event Purchaser shall be responsible for any and all costs and expenses in connection therewith including without limitation any prepayment penalties, attorneys fees and any other GECC Fees, if any; (ii) defeasing the GECC Loan, in which event Purchaser shall be responsible for any and all costs and expenses in connection therewith, including without limitation any prepayment penalties, attorneys fees and any other GECC Fees, if any; or (iii) assuming the GECC Loan, in which event Purchaser shall be responsible for any and all costs and expenses in connection therewith. If Purchaser

 

- 1 -


chooses one of the foregoing Closing Elections, Seller agrees to cooperate and assist Purchaser, as needed, to complete such Closing Election (at no cost or expense to Seller); and Seller agrees to execute and timely deliver any usual and customary documents required by the lender or loan servicer in connection with the assumption or defeasance of the GECC Loan. In addition, in the event that Purchaser elects to assume or defease the GECC Loan, Purchaser shall make reasonable efforts to obtain a release by GECC of Seller and all guarantors from any and all obligations under the GECC Loan for events occurring after the Closing Date. In the event and to the extent that Purchaser is unable to obtain such releases from GECC, Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and the guarantors against any and all damages, claims, causes of action and costs and expenses, including attorneys fees, arising out of events occurring after the Closing Date, which Seller or the guarantors may incur in connection with the obligations set forth under the guaranties executed by Seller and the guarantors in connection with the GECC Loan. In no event will Seller incur any costs or expenses in connection with Purchaser’s Closing Election. Purchaser shall notify Seller of the Closing Election no later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date. In the event of Purchaser’s failure to so timely notify seller of the closing election, it shall be deemed that the election shall be paying off and satisfying the GECC Loan as set forth above in this paragraph 4 and Purchaser shall close title on the closing date as set forth on this agreement as modified by this Fourth Amendment. No matter what Purchaser elects as the Closing Election, in no event shall such election alter, modify or otherwise delay the Closing Date as set forth in paragraph 3 above,

 

5. Seller hereby reaffirms that as set forth in the last sentence of Section 5 of the Agreement, Seller will provide to Purchaser on an ongoing basis (at least monthly) updated reports of the items in 1,2, 3, and 14 of Exhibit B to the Agreement. Purchaser expressly acknowledges that Seller’s agreement to deliver such items is for informational purposes only and is given purely as on accommodation to Purchaser, the delivery of such items shall in no way be deemed a representation or warranty by Seller, and no matter the contents thereof, it shall not be a default by Seller under the Agreement, Purchaser’s obligations under the Agreement shall in no way be diminished, altered, or amended, including without limitation Purchaser’s obligation to close title as set forth in the Agreement as amended by this Fourth Amendment. To the extent that this paragraph is inconsistent with any representations or warranties contained in the Agreement, this paragraph shall control.

 

6. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that any discrepancies which may exist between the financial statements provided by Seller during Purchaser’s 314 audit and the financial statements otherwise provided by Seller to Purchaser, prior to, during and after the Inspection Period, are hereby deemed acceptable. Purchaser hereby approves of the contents set forth in all such financial statements reviewed by Purchaser and its consultants including without limitation the net operating income for Seller’s self storage business and, in light of Purchaser’s approval of the foregoing, Purchaser hereby waives any rights and/or remedies that Purchaser may have under the Agreement, at law or in equity with respect to such 314 audit and such financial statements including without limitation any right arising out of such audit or financial statements that Purchaser may have to cancel the Agreement or refuse to close title thereunder.

 

7. Each of Seller and Purchaser hereby waive their respective claims as set forth in (a) that certain letter dated April 9, 2004 from Stadtmauer Bailkin LLP to Extra Space Development LLC, and (b) that certain letter dated April 16, 2004 from Tannenbaum Helpern Syracuse & Hirschtritt LLP to Stadtmauer Bailkin LLP.
