4.8              Rent Roll; Tenant Estoppel Letters.  The Rent Roll is true and correct in all material respects.  After the Inspection Period ends without termination by Buyer, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain current (i.e., dated not earlier than the date sixty (60) days prior to Closing) Tenant Estoppel Letters from all Tenants under the Leases.  Seller shall not request any Tenant Estoppel Letters until after the expiration of the Inspection Period.  Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with one another regarding the preparation and delivery of the Tenant Estoppel Letters to the tenants (e.g., prior to delivery of any Tenant Estoppel to a tenant, Seller shall provide copies thereof to Buyer for its review and approval).  Seller shall deliver each Tenant Estoppel Letter as executed by the applicable tenant as and when received by Seller rather than waiting to deliver all of such Tenant Estoppels en masse. 

4.9              Condemnation.  To the best knowledge of Seller, neither the whole nor any portion of the Real Property, including access thereto, is subject to temporary requisition of use by any governmental authority or has been condemned, or taken in any proceeding similar to a condemnation proceeding, nor is there now pending or formally threatened any condemnation, expropriation, requisition or similar proceeding against the Property or any portion thereof.  Seller has received no notice nor has any other knowledge that any such proceeding is contemplated.

4.10          Consents and Approvals; No Violation.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller nor the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby will (a) conflict with or breach any provision of the organizational documents of Seller; (b) subject to the receipt of the Lender Consent, violate or breach any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture or deed of trust to which Seller is a party; or (c) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, judgment, statute, law or ruling of any court or governmental authority applicable to Seller.

4.11          Environmental Matters.  To the best of Seller’s knowledge, neither Seller nor any third party has used Hazardous Material at the Real Property except as may be reflected by the environmental assessment report to be delivered to Buyer as part of Buyer’s due diligence, or as otherwise set forth on Exhibit 4.11 attached hereto.

4.12          Foreign Investment and Real Property Tax Act.  Seller is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code, or under any comparable state statutes which are applicable to this transaction.  At Closing Seller will execute and deliver to Buyer an affidavit regarding such matters. 

4.13          Seller’s Knowledge.  When used herein, the term “to the best of Seller’s knowledge” or “to the best of knowledge of Seller” shall mean only the actual, current, conscious knowledge, without inquiry (not constructive or implied knowledge) of Seller’s representative Scott Porter.

4.14          Concessions and Commissions.  No tenants of the Property are entitled to any concessions, rebates, allowances, or free rent for any period after the Closing, and none of the Leases provide for commissions payable by the owner of the Property for the current term of any Lease that have not yet been paid by Seller.

4.15          Employees.  Seller has no employees at the Property and is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement, and neither Seller nor any of its affiliates (as described in Section 414(b), (c) and (m) of the Internal Revenue Code) has incurred any liability which could subject Buyer or any asset to be acquired by

11

 


 

 

 

Buyer pursuant to this Agreement to any lien or material liability under Sections 302(f), 4062, 4063, 4064, 4201 or 4301(b) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 401(a) (29) or 412 of the Internal Revenue Code.

4.16          Major Tenants.  No Major Tenant has provided written notice to Seller that it intends to cease operations on the Property or that it intends to file for bankruptcy protection from its creditors (collectively, a “Major Tenant Adverse Event”).  To the extent Seller receives such notice during the term of this Agreement prior to Closing, Seller shall promptly inform Buyer of the same, failing of which, the same shall be deemed a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties and a default under this Agreement.  In the event Seller receives written notice of a Major Tenant Adverse Event, Buyer shall have the right, upon notice thereof to Seller on or prior to Closing, to terminate this Agreement and thereupon to receive an immediate refund of the Earnest Money Deposit and neither party shall thereafter have any further liability or obligation hereunder except for such liabilities and obligations that are expressly stated herein to survive termination of this Agreement.

4.17          Patriot Act. Neither Seller nor any person, group, entity or nation that Seller is acting, directly or indirectly for, or on behalf of, is named by any 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 the United States Treasury Department as a terrorist, “Specially Designated National and Blocked Person,” or is otherwise a banned or blocked person, group, entity, or nation pursuant to any Law that is enforced or administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, and Seller is not engaging in the transaction contemplated hereby, directly or indirectly, on behalf of, or instigating or facilitating the same, directly or indirectly, on behalf of, any such person, group, entity or nation.  Seller is not engaging in such transaction, directly or indirectly, in violation of any Laws relating to drug trafficking, money laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering.  The investment of direct or indirect equity owners in Seller is not prohibited by applicable law and neither the transaction contemplated hereby nor this Agreement is or will be in violation of applicable law.  Seller has and will continue to implement procedures, and has consistently and will continue consistently to apply those procedures, to ensure the foregoing representations and warranties remain true and correct at all times prior to Closing.

4.18          Existing Loan.  To the best of Seller’s knowledge, the Existing Loan is in full force and effect.  Seller has not received any written notice of any uncured default from the Existing Lender or any other party charged with administering the Existing Loan on behalf of the lender thereunder.  Seller will immediately notify Buyer of any notice of default received by Seller under the Existing Loan.  During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller shall comply with and perform all of its obligations under the Existing Loan Documents.  True, accurate and complete copies of the Existing Loan Documents have been furnished to Buyer.

4.19          Kleinwood Environmental Reports.  True, accurate and complete copies of the environmental reports related to the PERC contamination at Kleinwood have been delivered to Buyer and such reports so delivered are all reports in Seller's possession or control relating to such contamination.

4.20          REA Estoppel Letters.  Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date, request an estoppel letter in form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer (each, an “REA Estoppel Letter”, collectively the “REA Estoppel Letters”) from each party to any declaration, reciprocal easement agreement, or like agreement benefiting and/or burdening the Property, and shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such REA Estoppel Letters prior to Closing.  Seller obtaining such REA Estoppel Letters shall not be a condition precedent to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW THE SALE PROVIDED FOR HEREIN ARE MADE ON AN “AS-IS, WHERE-IS” BASIS WITH ALL FAULTS.  FURTHERMORE, EXCEPT FOR ANY CLAIM THE BUYER MAY HAVE AS A RESULT OF THE BREACH BY THE SELLER OF ANY EXPRESS REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF SELLER SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS, BUYER DOES HEREBY RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE SELLER, ITS DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS AND ASSIGNS, FROM ANY AND ALL ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION, CLAIMS AND DEMANDS FOR, UPON OR BY REASON OF ANY DAMAGE, LOSS OR INJURY WHICH HERETOFORE HAVE BEEN OR WHICH HEREAFTER MAY BE SUSTAINED BY BUYER RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF THE PRESENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS OR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION ON OR IN THE VICINITY OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE SOIL AND/OR GROUNDWATER (HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS THE “CLAIMS”).  THIS RELEASE APPLIES TO ALL SUCH CLAIMS WHETHER THE ACTIONS CAUSING THE PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR IN THE VICINITY OF THE PROPERTY OCCURRED BEFORE OR AFTER THE CLOSING.  THIS RELEASE EXTENDS AND APPLIES TO, AND ALSO COVERS AND INCLUDES, ALL STATUTORY OR COMMON LAW CLAIMS THE BUYER MAY HAVE AGAINST THE SELLER. THE PROVISIONS OF ANY STATE, FEDERAL, OR LOCAL LAW OR STATUTE PROVIDING IN SUBSTANCE THAT RELEASES SHALL NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS, DEMANDS, INJURIES OR DAMAGES WHICH ARE UNKNOWN OR UNSUSPECTED TO EXIST AT THE TIME, TO THE PERSON EXECUTING SUCH RELEASE, ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED.  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING OR ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 6.  POSSESSION; RISK OF LOSS

6.1              Possession.  Possession of the Property will be transferred to Buyer at the conclusion of the Closing, subject to the Permitted Exceptions.

6.2              Risk of Loss.  All risk of loss to the Real Property and Improvements shall remain upon Seller until the conclusion of the Closing.  If, before Closing, any material and substantial portion of the Real Property and/or Improvements is damaged by fire or other casualty, or if any material and substantial portion of the Real Property and/or Improvements is taken or formally threatened by eminent domain, Seller shall, within ten (10) days of such damage or taking, notify Buyer thereof and Buyer shall have the option to:

(a)                terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller given within ten (10) business days after such notice from Seller; or

(b)               proceed with the purchase of all of the Property, in which event Seller shall assign to Buyer all Seller’s right, title and interest in all amounts due or collected by Seller under any insurance policies or as condemnation awards and, in the case of insurance, Buyer shall receive a credit Closing in the amount of any deductible and/or self insured retention.

     For purposes of this Section 6.2, “material and substantial”, (i) with respect to a casualty, means damage to the Real Property and/or Improvements of such nature that the cost of restoring the same to its condition prior to the casualty would exceed $500,000.00 with respect to Kleinwood or $350,000.00 with respect to Murray Landing or Vineyard; and (ii) with respect to condemnation, means a taking which would prevent or materially impair Buyer from using the Property for the use intended and/or which affects in any material adverse way vehicular access to the Real Property.  If less than a material and substantial portion of the Real Property and/or Improvements is damaged by fire or other casualty or taken or formally threatened by eminent domain, then Buyer shall have no rights to terminate the Agreement under this Section 6.2; provided, however, at Closing,

14

 


 

 

 

Seller shall assign to Buyer all Seller’s right, title and interest in all amounts due or collected by Seller under any insurance policies or as condemnation awards.

 7.  TITLE MATTERS

Seller has previously delivered to Buyer copies of the Existing Title Policies and Existing Survey.  Seller shall order new Title Insurance Commitments within three (3) business days after the Effective Date.  Within three (3) business days after receipt of the Title Insurance Commitments, Buyer shall order new Surveys or updates of the existing ones.  Buyer will have 10 business days after its receipt of both the new Title Insurance Commitments and the new Surveys (or update, as applicable), but in no event beyond the end of the Inspection Period, within which to notify Seller in writing of any conditions, defects, encroachments or other objections to title or survey which are not acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion.  Any matter disclosed by the Title Insurance Commitments (other than (i) liens arising through Seller which are removable by the payment of money, for which Seller shall be obligated to cure, and (ii) the Existing Loans, which the Buyer shall assume at Closing) or by the new Surveys (or update, as applicable) which is not timely specified in Buyer’s written notice to Seller, shall be deemed a Permitted Exception.  Seller shall have a period of five (5) business days after receipt of Buyer’s title objection letter in which to elect to cure such title objections, provided however that Seller shall not be obligated to cure or institute any litigation with respect thereto (other than liens arising through Seller).  If Seller elects to cure such title objections, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to cure such objections to title or survey by Closing.  If Seller elects not to cure such title objection(s), within five (5) days after Seller’s response, Buyer shall elect to (i) refuse to purchase the Property and terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Earnest Money Deposit; or (ii) waive such objection(s) and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, close the purchase of the Property, subject to the objection(s), and without reduction of the Purchase Price. In the event Buyer fails to deliver notice of its election to Seller, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to waive such objection(s) and close the purchase of the Property.

 8.  CLOSING DELIVERIES

8.1              Seller Deliveries.  At Closing Seller shall deliver:

(a)                A special warranty deed (“Warranty Deed”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8.1(a) for each Property, with such changes as are necessary to comply with state law in each state where the Property is located;

(b)               If requested by Buyer, a quit claim deed (“Quit Claim Deed”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8.1(b) conveying the Real Property to Buyer pursuant to the legal description set forth on the Survey;

15

 


 

 

 

required Tenant Estoppel Letters for any of the tenants other than the Major Tenants is not delivered at least three (3) business days prior to Closing, the Seller shall have the right, in fulfillment of this condition, to deliver a Landlord Estoppel Letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8.1(g) (“Landlord Estoppel Letter”).  If Seller delivers a Landlord Estoppel Letter for any tenant and within ninety (90) days thereafter delivers a Tenant Estoppel Letter from such tenant in form required herein and containing the same provisions as are included in the Landlord Estoppel Letter, Seller will be released from any and all liabilities and obligations thereafter accruing under such Landlord Estoppel Letter.  In the event Seller shall be unable to deliver a Tenant Estoppel Letter for any one or more of the Major Tenants, any Tenant Estoppel letter indicates any valid claim of default by Seller, as landlord, under the respective lease which is not cured on or before the Closing Date and/or any Tenant Estoppel Letter materially conflicts with the terms of the respective lease, then Buyer shall have the right, upon notice thereof to Seller, to terminate this Agreement, in which event, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to the Buyer and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement (except those indemnity and insurance obligations that specifically survive termination).  In the event that Buyer shall not reject any Tenant Estoppel so executed by the applicable tenant within seven (7) days after receipt thereof from Seller, the same shall be deemed accepted by Buyer

(h)               All REA Estoppel Letters obtained by Seller, if not already delivered to Buyer;

(i)                 An owner’s affidavit in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8.1(h);

(j)                 All documentation necessary to evidence the assumption of the Existing Loan Documents by Buyer and the release of Seller and any existing guarantor from all obligations under the Existing Loan Documents arising or accruing subsequent to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any assumption agreement, subject to Seller’s reasonable review and approval (collectively, the “Assumption Documents”);

(k)               Resolutions or affidavits of Seller authorizing the transaction described herein;

(l)                 All keys and other means of access to the Improvements in the possession of Seller or its agents, or if the Improvements are accessed by a master key, Buyer shall be responsible for re-keying such Improvements;

(m)             Letters to tenants signed by Seller notifying the tenants of the acquisition of the Property by Buyer and directing the tenants to pay all rents and other sums to Buyer from and after the Closing Date; and

(n)               Such other documents as the Title Company may reasonably request to effect the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

With regard to the Assumption Documents referenced in Section 8.1(i) above, in the event the Seller, Buyer and the Existing Lender are unable to agree upon acceptable terms for such Assumption Documents on or before the Closing Date, the Seller and Buyer shall each have a right to terminate this Agreement on the Closing Date, in which event the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to the Buyer and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement (except those indemnity and insurance obligations that specifically survive termination).

8.2              Buyer Deliveries.  At Closing Buyer shall deliver:

(a)                A direction to Escrow Agent to disburse the Earnest Money Deposit to Seller;

(b)               The balance of the Purchase Price after credit for the principal balance of the Existing Loan as of Closing;

(c)                All Assumption Documents, subject to Buyer’s reasonable review and approval;

(d)               The Assignment of Leases described in Subsection 8.1(d) above;

(e)                Resolutions or affidavits of Buyer authorizing the transactions described herein;

8.3              Reasonable Efforts.  Each of the parties hereto agrees to use reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 9.  BREACH; REMEDIES

9.1              Breach by Seller.  In the event of a breach of Seller’s obligations herein, Buyer may, at Buyer’s election: (i) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Earnest Money Deposit, and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement (except as expressly survive termination); (ii) enforce this Agreement by suit for specific performance; or (iii) waive such breach and close the purchase contemplated hereby, notwithstanding such breach.  In the event that specific performance shall not be available to Buyer due to the Seller’s intentional conveyance of the Property or a portion thereof to a bona fide third party for value in violation of the terms and conditions hereof, then, Buyer shall be entitled to damages in an amount equal to all third party out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, but not in excess of $100,000 in any event.

9.2              Breach by Buyer.  In the event of a breach of Buyer’s obligations herein, Seller’s sole legal and equitable remedy (except for breaches related to Buyer’s indemnity and insurance obligations) shall be to terminate this Agreement and retain Buyer’s Earnest Money Deposit as AGREED LIQUIDATED DAMAGES for such breach, and upon payment in full to Seller of such Earnest Money Deposit, the parties shall have no further rights, claims, liabilities or obligations under this Agreement (except the indemnity and insurance obligations of Buyer, for which Seller, in the event of a breach thereof by Buyer, shall have available to it all remedies at law or in equity).

 10.  MISCELLANEOUS 

10.1          Commissions.  Seller and Buyer represent to each other that neither Seller (in the case of Seller’s representation) nor Buyer (in the case of Buyer’s representation) has dealt with nor does it have any knowledge of any broker or other person who has or may have any claim against Seller, Buyer or the Property for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment arising out of or in connection with this transaction, other than Broker.  Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any other such claim arising by, through or under Buyer, and Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any other such claim arising by, through or under Seller.  Seller shall be solely responsible for and shall pay Broker a commission in the event of and at Closing pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Broker.

10.2          Notices.  All notices and demands of any kind which either party may be required or may desire to serve upon the other party in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing, signed by the party or its counsel identified below, and shall be served (as an alternative to personal service) by registered or certified

10.11      No Recording.  Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum notice or short form hereof shall be recorded.

10.12      Survival of Seller’s Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Article 4 hereof, shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months following the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”), at which time they will be of no further force or effect except as hereinafter provided in this Section 10.13.  No claim asserted after Closing for a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller shall be actionable or payable if the breach in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter which was known to Buyer prior to Closing or disclosed or referenced in this Agreement, the documents delivered as part of the due diligence documentation, the Existing Title Policies, Existing Survey, Title Insurance Commitment or Survey.  Seller shall not have any liability to Buyer for a breach of any representation or warranty (a) unless the valid claims for all breaches with respect to the Property collectively aggregate more than $10,000.00, in which event only the amount of such valid claims in excess of $10,000.00 shall be actionable, up to the Cap (as defined in this Section 10.12), and (b) unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach shall have been given by Buyer to Seller prior to the expiration of the Survival Period and an action shall have been commenced and filed by Buyer against Seller within sixty (60) days after delivery of notice of the alleged breach.  As used herein, the term “Cap” shall mean One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) in the aggregate.  In no event whatsoever shall Seller have any liability to Buyer in excess of the Cap for any claims asserted after Closing for a breach.

10.14      Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the exhibits attached hereto, supersedes all prior agreements between the parties as to the Property, if any, and constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement may not be modified, amended or otherwise changed in any manner except by a writing executed by Buyer and Seller or their respective counsel identified herein.

10.15      Facsimile or .pdf.  Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by telecopy or email (.pdf) shall be valid and effective to bind the party so signing.  Each party agrees to promptly deliver an execution original to this Agreement with its actual signature to the other party, but a failure to do so shall not affect the enforceability of this Agreement, it being expressly agreed that each party to this Agreement shall be bound by its own telecopied or emailed signature and shall accept the telecopied or emailed signature of the other party to this Agreement.

10.17      Kleinwood.  The Seller has previously disclosed that there is PERC contamination on the Kleinwood Property.  At Closing, the Buyer shall receive a credit in the amount of Four Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($450,000.00) (the “Environmental Credit”) against the Purchase Price with respect to PERC contamination at the Kleinwood Property.  Seller shall have no further obligations or liability with respect to the PERC contamination of the Kleinwood Property other than the payment of the Environmental Credit at Closing. 

10.18      Publix ROFO.  The Murray Landing Property and the Vineyard Property are each subject to a right of first offer (“ROFO”) in favor of Publix Super Markets, Inc. (“Publix”).  In the event Publix exercises its ROFO with respect to either Property, this Agreement shall terminate, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to the Buyer, and in the event such election is made after the loan assumption application has been submitted, the Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any Assumption Costs previously incurred by Buyer.

10.19      Escrow for Med Spa at Kleinwood Property.  Buyer and Seller have agreed to establish an escrow account at Closing with respect to space B134 (approximately 1,600 square feet) of the Kleinwood Property contemplated to be leased to Med Spa (the "Med Spa Space").  At Closing, Seller shall deposit with the Escrow Agent the sum of $26,400.00 (the “Med Spa Rent Escrow “) for twelve (12) months' (the "Med Spa Escrow Term") gross rent for the Med Spa Space.  The Med Spa Rent Escrow shall be held in an interest bearing account in the name of MCW-RC III Kleinwood Center, L.P.  During the Med Spa Escrow Term, until such time that Med Spa or a substitute tenant commences paying monthly rent in an amount not less than $2,200.00 (the “Med Spa Minimum Monthly Rent”) for the Med Spa Space, Buyer shall be entitled to monthly disbursements from the Med Spa Rent Escrow on the first (1st) day of each calendar month in an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate Med Spa Minimum Monthly Rent and the amount of monthly rent actually received by Buyer for the previous month with respect to the Med Spa Space (the “Med Spa Monthly Rent Payment”).  At Closing, the Buyer shall receive the pro-rated portion of such Med Spa Monthly Rent Payment for the month of Closing.  The Escrow Agent shall make such Med Spa Monthly Rent Payment within five (5) days after request from Buyer for such disbursement. 

     In the event Seller has executed a new lease (the “New Med Spa Lease”) with Med Spa or a substitute tenant prior to Closing, no escrow for tenant improvement allowance or leasing commissions shall be required at Closing.  In such event, the Seller shall pay the tenant improvement allowance and leasing commissions due under the New Med Spa Lease directly to the tenant and brokers as they become due.  If a New Med Spa Lease has not been executed at Closing, Seller shall deposit with the Escrow Agent the sum of $40,000.00 (the “Med Spa TI Escrow”) for tenant improvement allowance for the Med Spa Space, plus (iii) $5,600.00 (the “Med Spa LC Escrow”) for leasing commissions for the Med Spa Space.  At such time after Closing that the tenant under a new lease of the Med Spa Space is entitled to a tenant improvement allowance, the Escrow Agent shall disburse to Buyer a portion of the Med Spa TI Escrow in an amount equal to such tenant improvement allowance to be disbursed to such tenant in accordance with the new lease, not to exceed $40,000.00.  In addition, at such time that the leasing commission is due under the New Med Spa  Lease, the Escrow Agent shall disburse a portion of the Med Spa LC Escrow to the Buyer and/or to the applicable broker who procured the new lease in accordance with the separate agreement entered into with that broker, not to exceed $5,600.00.  In any event, the Seller acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for any additional landlord obligations necessary to deliver the Med Spa Space to the new tenant in the condition required under a new lease for the Med Spa Space.

10.20      Escrow for Little Caesar’s at Kleinwood Property.  Buyer and Seller have agreed to establish an escrow account at Closing with respect to approximately 1,500 square feet of the Kleinwood Property contemplated to be leased to Little Caesars Enterprises, Inc. (the "Little Caesars Space").  At Closing, Seller shall deposit with the Escrow Agent the sum of $33,000.00 (the “Little Caesars Rent Escrow”) for twelve (12)

21

 


 

 

 

months' (the "Little Caesars Escrow Term") gross rent for the Little Caesars Space.  The Little Caesars Rent Escrow shall be held in an interest bearing account in the name of MCW-RC III Kleinwood Center, L.P.  During the Little Caesars Escrow Term, until such time that Little Caesars Enterprises or a substitute tenant commences paying monthly rent in an amount not less than $2,750.00 (the “Little Caesars Minimum Monthly Rent”) for the Little Caesars Space, Buyer shall be entitled to monthly disbursements from the Little Caesars Rent Escrow on the first (1st) day of each calendar month in an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate Little Caesars Minimum Monthly Rent and the amount of monthly rent actually received by Buyer for the previous month with respect to the Little Caesars Space (the “Little Caesars Monthly Rent Payment”).  At Closing, the Buyer shall receive the pro-rated portion of such Little Caesars Monthly Rent Payment for the month of Closing.  The Escrow Agent shall make such Little Caesars Monthly Rent Payment within five (5) days after request from Buyer for such disbursement. 

     In the event Seller has executed a new lease (the “Little Caesars New Lease”) with Little Caesars Enterprises or a substitute tenant prior to Closing, no escrow for tenant improvement allowance or leasing commissions shall be required at Closing.  In such event, the Seller shall pay the tenant improvement allowance and leasing commissions due under the Little Caesars New Lease directly to the tenant and brokers as they become due.  If a Little Caesars New Lease has not been executed at Closing, Seller shall deposit with the Escrow Agent the sum of $37,500.00 (the “Little Caesars TI Escrow”) for tenant improvement allowance for the Little Caesars Space, plus (iii) $6,600.00 (the “Little Caesars LC Escrow”) for leasing commissions for the Little Caesars Space.  At such time after Closing that the tenant under a new lease of the Little Caesars Space is entitled to a tenant improvement allowance, the Escrow Agent shall disburse to Buyer a portion of the Little Caesars TI Escrow in an amount equal to such tenant improvement allowance to be disbursed to such tenant in accordance with the new lease, not to exceed $37,500.00.  In addition, at such time that the leasing commission is due under the Little Caesars New Lease, the Escrow Agent shall disburse a portion of the Little Caesars LC Escrow to the Buyer and/or to the applicable broker who procured the new lease in accordance with the separate agreement entered into with that broker, not to exceed $6,600.00.  In any event, the Seller acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for any additional landlord obligations necessary to deliver the Little Caesars Space to the new tenant in the condition required under a new lease for the Little Caesars Space.

10.21      1031 Exchange.  Buyer acknowledges that Seller may effect a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  Accordingly, Buyer agrees that it will cooperate with Seller to effect a tax-free exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section 1031 of the Code and the regulations promulgated with respect thereto.  Seller shall be solely responsible for any additional fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the like-kind exchange contemplated by this paragraph, and Buyer shall not be required to incur any debt, obligation or expense in accommodating Seller hereunder.  In no event shall Seller’s ability or inability to effect a like-kind exchange, as contemplated hereby, in any way delay the Closing or relieve Seller from its obligations and liabilities under this Agreement.  Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from any liability, losses or damages incurred by Buyer in connection with or arising out of the Section 1031 like-kind exchange, including but not limited to any tax liability.

10.22      Purchase of Property Only.  The parties acknowledge that the purchase and sale of the Property involves only the purchase and sale of the Property and that Seller is not selling a business nor do the parties intend that Buyer be deemed a successor of Seller with respect to any debts, liabilities and obligations of Seller other than the tenants under the Leases, any Contracts assumed by Buyer and any obligations and liabilities as owner of the Property.  Seller shall be liable for all payments and benefits to past and/or present employees of Seller in connection with the business being conducted on or from the Property as may have accrued through Closing (including, but not limited to, salaries, wages, commissions, bonuses, vacation pay, health and welfare contributions, pensions, profit sharing, severance or termination pay, or any other form of compensation or fringe benefit).

22

 


 

 

 

10.23      Escrow Agent.  The terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall constitute both an agreement between Seller and Buyer and instructions for Escrow Agent, which Escrow Agent shall acknowledge and agree to be bound by, as evidenced by its execution of this Agreement.  Seller and Buyer shall promptly execute and deliver to Escrow Agent any separate or additional escrow instructions requested by Escrow Agent which are consistent with the terms of this Agreement.  Any separate or additional instructions shall not modify or amend the provisions of this Agreement unless otherwise expressly agreed by mutual consent of Buyer and Seller.  Buyer and Seller both hereby acknowledge and agree that Escrow Agent shall hold and deliver the Earnest Money Deposit and all other deposits which may be made under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all liability and held harmless by both Seller and Buyer in the event Escrow Agent makes any disbursement of such monies in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.  Escrow Agent shall be relieved from any responsibility or liability and held harmless by both Buyer and Seller in connection with the discharge of Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder provided that Escrow Agent exercises ordinary and reasonable care in the discharge of such duties.

     By their execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Buyer and Seller acknowledge and confirm that under certain circumstances deposits (including the funds subject to this Agreement) may not be insured or fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).  Each party has made its own analysis of FDIC insurance regulations affecting, or potentially affecting, the funds subject to this Agreement and is not relying upon any advice from the Escrow Agent as to FDIC matters.  The Buyer and Seller understand and agree that Escrow Agent is holding the escrow funds as agent and that the funds are not trust funds.  Simultaneously with final disbursement of the escrow funds pursuant to this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall be released of all liability and responsibility under this Agreement.  The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any writing or instrument or signature which it, in good faith, believes to be genuine.  Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give any writing, notice, advice or instructions in connection with the provisions hereof, has been duly authorized to do so.  The Escrow Agent undertakes and agrees to perform only such duties as expressly set forth herein.  The duty of the Escrow Agent hereunder shall be limited to the safe keeping of the escrow funds and the disposition of same in accordance with the provisions hereof.  The Escrow Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require a written statement signed by the Buyer and Seller confirming satisfaction of all conditions precedent to disbursement of funds hereunder and authorizing disbursement of said funds, together with accrued interest, if any.  All notices to or from Escrow Agent shall be in writing.  The Buyer and Seller hereby release Escrow Agent from any losses incurred with respect to funds deposited hereunder by reason of the absence of or insufficiency of FDIC insurance with respect to such funds.  The Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Escrow Agent has entered into this Agreement at their specific request and, in order to induce Escrow Agent to accept said escrow, do hereby agree to indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from all loss, cost and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, which it may suffer or incur as a result of acting as Escrow Agent under this Agreement, including, without limitation, claims arising with respect to the absence or insufficiency of FDIC insurance for funds subject to this Agreement.  In the event of any dispute as to the disbursement of escrow funds or any claim thereto by any party or person, Escrow Agent shall have the right to bring a suit in interpleader in the Circuit Court for Duval County, Florida naming the parties to this Agreement and any other parties as may be appropriate in the opinion of Escrow Agent.  The Buyer and Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent from all costs, including attorneys’ fees, in connection with such interpleader action.  Upon the filing of said suit and deposit of the balance of escrow funds in the registry of the Court, Escrow Agent shall have the right to withdraw from said suit, and all obligations of Escrow Agent shall cease and terminate. 

10.24      No Back Offers or Agreements.  Seller shall not, during the term of this Agreement, enter into any back up offers, agreements, options or the like for the sale of the Property to any third party and nor shall

23

 


 

 

 

Seller market the Property for sale or otherwise solicit any of such back up offers, agreements, options or the like directly or indirectly through third parties. 

Books and Records.  Buyer has advised Seller that Buyer may be required to file, in compliance with certain laws and regulations (including, without limitation, Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission), audited financial statements, pro forma financial statements and other financial information related to the Property for up to three (3) fiscal years prior to Closing and any interim period during the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs (the “Financial Information”).  Following the Closing, Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonably efforts to cooperate with Buyer and its representatives and agents in the preparation of required Financial Information; provided, however, Seller shall not be required to incur any expenses or costs unless Buyer reimburses Seller for the same.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide any information deemed confidential by Seller in its reasonable discretion.  Buyer acknowledges Buyer may not use the results of its review under this Section 10.22 to pursue any claim against Seller under the terms of this Agreement
