If on the Closing Date it should appear that the Property is adversely affected by any encumbrance, lien defect, encroachment or objection which is not a Permitted Exception (collectively, “Non-Permitted Title Objections”), then in such event, Seller, at Seller’s election, shall have the privilege to remove or satisfy the same, and shall, for that purpose, be entitled to one or more adjournments of the Closing for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days beyond the date scheduled for Closing. Seller shall not be required to bring any action or proceeding or to otherwise incur any expense to remove or discharge any Non-Permitted Title Objection (except for the obligation to remove certain liens and encumbrances pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof). If there shall be any Non-Permitted Title Objections and Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller elects not to, or cannot, remove or discharge such Non-Permitted Title Objections, Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole discretion, may elect to terminate this Contract by notice given within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s notice, in which case Purchaser shall elect either to receive a return of the Deposit or to accept the Non-Permitted Title Objections and proceed to Closing. If Purchaser fails to timely cancel this Contract as provided in the preceding sentence, Purchaser shall accept such title as can be conveyed through the Deed. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, an attempt by Seller to remove or discharge any Non-Permitted Title Objection shall not be deemed to be or create an obligation of Seller to remove or discharge the same.

6.4 Property Debt. As of the Effective Date, the Property is subject to that certain mortgage held by 1st United Bank.

(a) Organization Pre-Closing; Authority. Seller is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Florida. Seller has the right, power and authority to make and perform its obligations under this Contract.

(b) Execution; Valid and Binding Obligation. The execution, delivery and performance of this Contract in accordance with its terms, does not violate the limited liability company agreement of Seller, or any contract, agreement, commitment, order, judgment or decree to which Seller is a party or by which it is bound (subject to the GSA Consent). This Contract is a valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights and by general principles of equity (whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(c) Leases. A true, correct and complete copy of the GSA Lease has been delivered to Purchaser, and constitutes the only lease, license or other written agreement for the use or occupancy of the Property to which Seller is a party and which will be binding on Purchaser following the Closing Date, except as may otherwise be set forth in the Permitted Exceptions. The GSA Lease is in full force and effect, and there are no pending modifications or amendments to the GSA Lease. Seller has not received or delivered a written notice declaring a default under the GSA Lease. None of Seller’s interest in the GSA Lease or of Seller’s right to receive the rentals payable by the GSA Tenant thereunder has been assigned, conveyed, pledged or in any manner encumbered by Seller, other than as collateral for the First United Construction Loan. Neither the GSA Tenant nor, to Seller’s knowledge, any other person has any purchase option, termination option, right of first refusal, right of first offer or similar right to purchase the Property or any portion thereof.

(d) Property Contracts. Set forth on Schedule I is a true, correct and complete list of the management agreement and other agreements relating to the operation, maintenance and management of the Premises (the “Property Contracts”), to which Seller is a party and which may be binding on the Premises after the Closing. Seller does not guarantee or undertake that any of the Property Contracts will be in effect as of the Closing. Seller has not received any written notice of a default under the Property Contracts, except for any defaults that have been cured or waived. There are no Property Contracts that are not either terminable at will or on thirty (30) days’ (or fewer) notice (or sixty (60) days’ notice in the case of the management agreement). Seller shall not modify the Property Contracts or enter into any new agreements or contracts unless same are terminable on thirty (30) days’ (or fewer) notice without penalty.

 

11


(e) Financial Statements. To Seller’s knowledge: (i) the financial statements of Property operations to be provided by Seller to Purchaser or its accountants pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, will present fairly, in all material respects, the information contained therein for the periods indicated therein; and (ii) all material expenses associated with Property operations have been recorded in Seller’s general ledger provided or to be provided by Seller to Purchaser or its accountants pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Employee Obligations. Seller has not hired, retained or employed any employees or contractors in connection with the ownership, operation or management of the Property, whose contracts will be binding upon Purchaser after the Closing (other than the Property Contracts).

(g) Condemnation. To Seller’s knowledge, as of the Effective Date, Seller has not received any written notice that there are any pending or threatened condemnation, eminent domain or similar proceedings pertaining to the Property or any portion thereof or the improvements thereon.

(h) Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule J attached hereto or for matters fully covered (excluding deductibles) by one or more insurance policies, to Seller’s knowledge, as of the Effective Date, there is no action, suit or other proceeding pending against Seller pertaining to the Property which, if determined adversely to Seller, would have a material adverse effect on the Property or Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under this Contract.

(i) Violations of Law. To Seller’s knowledge, as of the Effective Date, Seller has not received written notice from any governmental authority: (i) that the Property or its present operation and use violate or conflict with any federal, state, county or other municipal laws, ordinances, orders, regulations and requirements, which violation has not been cured; or (ii) that such governmental authority intends to revoke any certificate of occupancy issued in connection with the Property or any material license or permit which is necessary for the operation of the Property.

(j) Non-Compliance. To Seller’s knowledge, as of the Effective Date, Seller has not received any written notice that Seller or the Property is not in compliance with the terms and provisions of the covenants, conditions, restrictions, rights-of-way, or easements affecting the Property.

(k) Certificates, Licenses, Permits and Authorizations. To Seller’s knowledge, Seller has obtained all certificates, licenses, permits and authorizations required to operate the Property in accordance with the GSA Lease.

(l) Consents. Other than the GSA Consent, no consents are required to be obtained in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Contract by Seller.

 

12


(m) Rights of First Refusal and Purchase Options. Seller has not granted to any other person or entity any right of first refusal or purchase option with respect to the Property or any interest therein.

(n) Environmental. To Seller’s knowledge, as of the Effective Date, Seller has not received any written notice, report or information regarding any violations of, or any corrective, investigatory or remedial obligations, arising under applicable environmental laws with respect to the Property.

(o) Foreign Person. Seller is not a “foreign person” as that term is defined in Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.

(p) OFAC. Seller is not acting, directly or indirectly for, or on behalf of, any person, group, entity or nation 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 other banned or blocked person, entity, or nation pursuant to any law that is enforced or administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, and is not engaging in this transaction, directly or indirectly, on behalf of, or instigating or facilitating this transaction, directly or indirectly, on behalf of, any such person, group, entity or nation.

8.2 Knowledge. The representations of Seller set forth in Section 8.1 that are to “Seller’s knowledge” or that are “known to Seller” are made to the actual knowledge of Mark Levin and Thomas Litten (each, a “Key Person”), without such individual having any duty or obligation to make an independent inquiry or investigation. Any reference to Seller’s “receipt” or language similar thereto of notices or other written documents shall mean the actual receipt of the same by a Key Person. In no event shall Purchaser be entitled to assert any cause of action against any Key Person, nor shall any Key Person have any personal liability whatsoever for any matter under or related to this Contract.

8.3 Survival. At the Closing, Seller shall restate the representations made in Section 8.1 above. The representations made in Section 8.1, and any restatement of such representations shall survive the Closing, but only for a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing (the “Survival Period”), except that the financial representations in subsection 8.1(e) shall not survive Closing.

8.4 Notice of Material Adverse Change. Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of any event or circumstance known to Seller which makes any representation or warranty of Seller under this Contract untrue in any material and adverse respect.

8.5 Liability for Misrepresentations. If any representation of Seller shall fail to be true in any material and adverse respect, Seller will attempt in good faith to remedy the misrepresentation (without any obligation to incur any costs or expenses). If despite Seller’s good faith efforts, the representation remains untrue as of Closing, Purchaser’s sole remedy prior to Closing shall be to waive the untrue representation and proceed to Closing, or to terminate this

 

13


Contract and receive the return of the Deposit. Upon Purchaser’s receipt of the Deposit, this Contract shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and, except for those provisions expressly stated to survive the termination of this Contract, neither party shall have any rights or obligations against or to the other. Seller shall have the option to rescind Purchaser’s termination of this Contract and adjourn the Closing for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days beyond the date scheduled for the Closing in order to make any such representation true in all material respects. If the Closing shall take place without Purchaser making an objection to an untrue representation, which is Known to Purchaser, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all liability of Seller by reason of such untrue representation. If Closing takes place and a representation set forth in Section 8.1 above that is untrue on the Closing Date first becomes Known to Purchaser after Closing, Purchaser may bring an action against Seller for any actual damages (but not consequential, punitive, or special damages) sustained by Purchaser, including reasonable attorneys fees, as a consequence of such untrue representation, provided that (i) such action is brought prior to the expiration of the Survival Period; and (ii) in no event shall Seller be liable for damages in excess of $25,000.

8.6 Purchaser’s Representations. Purchaser represents that:

(a) Purchaser is, and at the Closing shall be, a limited liability company. Purchaser has the right, power and authority to make and perform its obligations under this Contract, and Purchaser is not required to obtain governmental approval, consent or filing (other than the GSA Consents and related filings).

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Contract in accordance with its terms, is duly authorized and does not violate the organizational documents of Purchaser, or any contract, agreement, commitment, order, judgment or decree to which Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound.

(c) This Contract is a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

(d) Purchaser is not acting, directly or indirectly for, or on behalf of, any, person, group, entity or nation 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 other banned or blocked person, entity, or nation pursuant to any law that is enforced or administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, and is not engaging in this transaction, directly or indirectly, on behalf of, or instigating or facilitating this transaction, directly or indirectly, on behalf of, any such person, group, entity or nation.

(e) Purchaser covenants and warrants that the representations in the preceding sentences of this Section 8.6 will be true on the Closing with respect to Purchaser or any permitted assignee of Purchaser and Purchaser or such assignee shall deliver to Seller at Closing copies of Purchaser’s organizational documents and resolutions and/or consents and certificates as necessary to substantiate that such representations of Purchaser are true as of the Closing.

9. Seller’s Covenants.

9.1 Leasing Practice.

(a) Provided that Purchaser is not in default under this Contract, Seller shall not, without Purchaser’s prior approval, which shall be at Purchaser’s sole discretion, enter into any modifications, renewals or extensions of the GSA Lease other than those required pursuant to the terms of the GSA Lease (collectively, “GSA Lease Modifications”). Purchaser agrees to grant or deny consent in writing (and provide, in reasonable detail, the reasons for any denial) within five (5) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s request, which request shall contain copies of all material information related to such request and a summary of the material terms of the proposed GSA Lease Modification and such other information as reasonably requested by Purchaser. Purchaser’s failure to timely respond in writing to Seller’s request shall be deemed a consent to the proposed GSA Lease Modification. Seller shall, from time to time, inform (orally or in writing) Purchaser of any negotiations and promptly give notice to Purchaser of any GSA Lease Modification and a copy of any instruments executed and any material information delivered in connection with the GSA Lease Modification. The term “GSA Lease” shall include any GSA Lease Modifications made after the Effective Date which are permitted under this Section 9.1.

(b) Seller may continue to grant consent or approval to a request made by a GSA Tenant under the GSA Lease, if such consent or approval is required to be granted pursuant to the applicable provisions of the GSA Lease and only with the approval of Purchaser if Seller is required to exercise reasonable or sole judgment or discretion in determining whether to grant such consent or approval. Purchaser agrees to advise Seller in writing, within five (5) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s notice, whether Purchaser elects that the GSA Tenant’s request be granted or denied (and provide the reasons for any denial), which election shall be made in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment or sole discretion, as applicable. Purchaser’s failure to timely respond in writing to Seller’s notice shall be deemed an election to consent to the proposed request.

(c) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no representation has been made and no responsibility has been assumed by Seller with respect to the continued occupancy of the Premises, or any part thereof, by the GSA Tenant following Closing. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enforce its rights against the GSA Tenant by summary proceeding or in any other manner.

(d) Prior to Closing or any sooner termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Seller shall not sell, mortgage, pledge, encumber, hypothecate, or otherwise transfer all of any part of the Property or any interest therein.

(e) Prior to Closing or any sooner termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Seller shall provide Purchaser with monthly operating statements for the Property for July, 2010 and subsequent months, within twenty (20) days after the end of each month.

 

15


(f) Prior to Closing or any sooner termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Seller shall, at no expense or liability to Seller, reasonably cooperate with Purchaser’s auditor in connection with delivery of any audit opinions or comfort letters related to audited financial statements prepared by Purchaser’s auditor. In connection therewith, Seller shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 5.2 and 15.6 of this Agreement, provide Purchaser’s auditor with access to the Property and information reasonably requested by the auditor, to the extent such information in Seller’s possession or control (all without representation or warranty of any kind, except as expressly provided in Section 8.1). Seller hereby consents to the dissemination of any such audited financial statements, opinions, or letters as may be required by Purchaser’s auditor for inclusion in any registration statements, prospectuses, or similar documents in connection with syndications, private placements or public offerings of securities by Purchaser, or any of Purchaser’s affiliates or assigns and any reporting requirements for the same under applicable federal and state securities laws. All costs and expenses associated with any reports, opinions, or letters required by this section shall be borne by Purchaser.

(g) Prior to Closing or any sooner termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Seller shall not knowingly and intentionally take any affirmative action that would cause any violation of any law, or governmental rule or regulation applicable to the Property.

9.2 Personal Property and Equipment. After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller agrees not to transfer to any third party or remove any Personal Property or Equipment owned by Seller and material to the operation or maintenance of the Premises and located in the Premises, unless such Personal Property or equipment is obsolete or replaced with a substantially similar item.

9.3 Tax Protest Proceedings. Seller shall have the authority to prosecute, settle and withdraw proceedings to review any real estate tax assessment for the Premises covering the calendar years prior to and in which the Closing occurs at Seller’s expense. Purchaser acknowledges that it has no interest in any proceedings or refunds applicable to any calendar tax year prior to the year in which the Closing occurs. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall survive the Closing. If Purchaser desires to commence or prosecute any real estate tax assessment proceedings, Seller will cooperate with Purchaser in doing so, at Purchaser’s expense.

9.4 Operation and Maintenance. From and after the Effective Date until the Closing Date, Seller shall operate and maintain the Premises consistent with the terms of the GSA Lease, excepting normal wear and tear and loss or Casualty. Seller shall not have any obligation whatsoever to make any capital expenditures unless required pursuant to the GSA Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall (i) maintain in effect substantially the same insurance with respect to the Premises as it currently maintains, (ii) use reasonable efforts to collect all rent due before Closing in accordance with the Seller’s current customary practices, (iii) timely perform its obligations under the GSA Lease in accordance with its customary practice, and (iv) perform all repairs and maintenance of the Premises and pay all bills related to the Premises in accordance with its current customary practices.

 

16


9.5 Lease Status Report and GSA Consents.

(a) Prior to Closing, Seller shall obtain a lease status report (also know as a statement of lease), for the GSA Lease (the “Lease Status Report”) from the GSA Tenant, which Lease Status Report shall be in the form provided by the GSA Tenant and addressed to Purchaser and, at Purchaser’s request, Purchaser’s lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the required Lease Status Report cannot be timely delivered, Seller or Purchaser may, but shall not be obligated to, adjourn the Closing for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days, to obtain the required Lease Status Report. If Seller, after exercising or waiving in writing its adjournment right set forth in this subsection, does not or cannot deliver the required Lease Status Report, or the Lease Status Report indicates that Seller is in default under the GSA Lease or that the GSA Lease is subject to any claims or offset or is not in full force and effect, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Contract and receive the return of the Deposit, or to close notwithstanding the lack of the Lease Status Report, without any reduction of the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall notify Seller upon the date that is not later than five (5) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Lease Status Report, of Purchaser’s objections to the Lease Status Report and its election to terminate this Contract. Purchaser’s failure to timely respond to Seller in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed its approval of the Lease Status Report.

(b) Seller shall obtain the GSA Consent from the GSA Tenant on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, if the required GSA Consent cannot be timely delivered, Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, adjourn the Closing for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days, to obtain the required GSA Consent. If Seller, after exercising or waiving in writing its adjournment right set forth in this subsection, does not or cannot deliver the required GSA Consent, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Contract and receive the return of the Deposit, or to close notwithstanding the lack of the GSA Consent, without any reduction of the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may elect to waive the requirement that the GSA Consent be obtained prior to Closing, in which case (i) Seller may require reasonable assurances that the only condition to delivery of the GSA Consent after the Closing Date is proof of the transfer and conveyance of the Property pursuant to the Deed, and (ii) Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses and damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Seller on account of any failure to obtain the GSA Consent, including any claims for breach or default of the GSA Lease by virtue of the failure to obtain the GSA Consent. The foregoing indemnification shall survive Closing.

(b) If for any reason Seller is unable to satisfy all of the conditions of Closing by the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right to delay closing for up to thirty (30) days to give Seller an opportunity to satisfy such conditions or to waive the closing condition and close. If Seller cannot satisfy such conditions within this additional period, notwithstanding anything else in this Contract, Purchaser may waive the closing condition and close, without a reduction in the Purchase Price, or terminate this Contract, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall be released from all further obligations and liabilities hereunder, other than those which expressly survive termination of this Contract.

10.3 Conditions Precedent to Obligation of Seller.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract, on the Closing Date, Seller’s obligations under this Contract are expressly contingent on the following being true and correct (“Seller’s Closing Conditions”):

20


(c) It is a further condition of Seller’s obligation to close that the Purchase Price being paid by Purchaser to Seller at Closing is sufficient to pay in full the Seller’s Obligations and to obtain the First United Release and any other release described in the Creditor Agreements. If the amount required to pay the Seller’s Obligations exceeds the Purchase Price, Seller may terminate the Contract by written notice to Purchaser and Escrow Agent, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall be released from all further obligations and liabilities hereunder, other than those which expressly survive termination of this Contract.

10.4 Closing and Location.

(a) Subject to the adjournments expressly allowed elsewhere in this Contract, the closing of the transaction contemplated by this Contract shall take place on or before September 7, 2010, unless Seller and Purchaser mutually agree to an earlier or later date or such Closing Date is extended pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that Purchaser is not then in default hereunder, Purchaser may extend the Closing Date one time to September 30, 2010 by giving Seller and Escrow Agent written notice of Purchaser’s election to so extend the Closing Date, and wire transferring to Escrow Agent the additional sum of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000), all on or before September 1, 2010 at 5 p.m. Eastern time.

The Closing shall occur by submitting documents to escrow with the Escrow Agent as escrow holder and pursuant to escrow instructions from each party hereto which shall be consistent with the terms of this Contract (unless such party, or an authorized representative thereof is attending in person, in which case escrow instructions would not be necessary).

10.5 Closing Expenses.

(a) Seller’s Expenses. Seller shall pay: (i) one-half of any escrow or closing charge of the Escrow Agent; and (ii) the documentary stamp taxes on the Deed.

21


(c) The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Contract.

10.6 Prorations and Credits at Closing.

(a) Prorations. All items which would normally and customarily be prorated in a real estate sale, including real estate taxes, personal property or use taxes, and sales taxes, installments of general and special assessments due and payable in the year of Closing, utility bills, annual installments of any assessment, amounts due or revenues under the Assumed Property Contracts and any prepaid amounts related to the foregoing, shall be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. on the day before the Closing Date, with Seller being charged and credited for all of same prior to the Closing Date, and Purchaser being charged and credited for all of same on and after the Closing Date. Rent and other amounts due by the GSA Tenant under the GSA Lease will be prorated as of the Closing Date and will be paid to the party entitled to receive such payment promptly upon being collected. Taxes will be prorated using the maximum discount allowed by law. If the actual amounts of certain agreed upon items to be prorated are not known as of the Closing Date, the prorations shall be made on the basis of the best evidence then available; provided that, within one hundred twenty (120) days after Closing, Purchaser and Seller will make a further adjustment for all such amounts which may have accrued or been incurred prior to the Closing Date (including, but not limited to, real estate taxes), but not received or paid at that date. In the event that any item of income or expense is prorated at Closing in error or on the basis of an estimate, or if it is determined that the parties failed to prorate an item at Closing which should have been prorated, Purchaser and Seller agree to make a further adjustment of such item(s) at a final reconciliation to be performed within one (1) year after the Closing Date. To the extent that either party is required to pay to the other any sum based on the foregoing post-Closing adjustments of prorated items, Purchaser and Seller each agree to make such payments within fifteen (15) days after the post-Closing adjustments have been calculated and agreed to. This provision shall survive Closing.

(b) Delinquent GSA Rents. If, as of the Closing, the GSA Tenant has failed to pay any amounts due and payable thereunder in any months prior to the month in which the Closing occurs identified by Seller in writing at Closing (the “Delinquent Rents”) shall remain Seller’s property. Purchaser shall not be obligated to file suit to collect any Delinquent Rents. After Closing, Seller shall be entitled to commence and/or continue any collection efforts against the GSA Tenant, including, but not limited to, commencing and/or continuing prosecuting a lawsuit, so long as such lawsuit is for money damages only and does not seek the remedy of eviction.

(c) Preparation of Prorations. At least five (5) days before the Closing Date, Seller shall work with the Escrow Agent to have Escrow Agent prepare and deliver to Purchaser an unaudited statement (the “Preliminary Settlement Statement”) showing allocations and prorations described in this Contract, calculated as of 11:59 p.m. on the day preceding the Closing Date, on the basis of a three hundred sixty five (365) day year. Purchaser and its representatives shall be afforded reasonable access to Seller’s books and records with respect to the Premises to confirm the accuracy of the Preliminary Settlement Statement. Purchaser and Seller shall agree upon any final adjustments to be made to the Preliminary Settlement Statement no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and Escrow Agent shall prepare and distribute the final settlement statement (the “Settlement Statement”) to the parties hereto no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date.

 

22


11. Default.

11.1 Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser breaches its obligations under this Contract, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Contract by written notice given to Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall forfeit all claims to the Property and the Deposit paid or payable in accordance with this Contract, which shall be construed as full liquidated damages to the Seller. The parties agree that all monies paid and to be paid in accordance with this Contract shall be considered as liquidated damages by reason of the fact that: (a) the damage which is a result of the Purchaser’s failure to perform is an uncertain amount or is difficult to prove; (b) the parties intended to liquidate damages; and (c) the amount of any such monies is a reasonable estimate of the amount of the damage which would be incurred by Seller. The actual tender of the closing deliveries by Seller shall not be necessary, if the Purchaser has clearly indicated, prior to the Closing Date, that it will not or cannot perform the obligations set forth in this Contract. The retention by Seller of the Deposit paid or payable hereunder as liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 11.1 shall constitute Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of a default by Purchaser.

11.2 Seller’s Default. If, for any reason whatsoever other than upon Seller’s willful default, Seller shall be unable to convey title to a Property to Purchaser subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Contract, Purchaser may elect to obtain a refund of the Deposit. Upon the making of such refund to Purchaser, this Contract shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, except for those provisions expressly stated to survive the termination of this Contract and the lien, if any, of Purchaser against the Premises shall wholly cease. Seller’s “willful default” will include any breach of an obligation that Seller has undertaken under this Contract which is in Seller’s reasonable control with respect to which (i) Seller has not undertaken reasonable and good faith efforts to comply or (ii) which a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine is a “willful default”. Seller “reasonable and good faith efforts” shall not include litigation or the obligation to incur any cost or liability or spend any sums, except as may be expressly required by other provisions of this Contract. Purchaser’s sole remedy for Seller’s willful default as to the Property shall be to elect to cancel this Contract as to that Property and receive from the Seller reimbursement of the Deposit (plus actual out-of-pocket third party costs, including attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Purchaser after the Effective Date in connection with Purchaser’s inspections and other due diligence; provided, however, that Seller’s liability for such costs shall not exceed $25,000 in the aggregate), or to commence an action for specific performance within sixty (60) days after the alleged default by Seller. Purchaser hereby waives all other rights and remedies that it might have, including the right to sue for damages, except with respect to Seller’s willful default of this Contract.

12. Risk of Loss.

12.1 Condemnation.

(a) A “Taking” shall mean, if, at any time prior to the Closing Date, condemnation proceedings are instituted, or notice of intent to condemn is given, with respect to all or any portion of the Property shall be taken in the exercise of the power of condemnation or

 

23


eminent domain by any sovereign, municipality or other public or private authority. In the event of a Taking which give rises to a termination right of the GSA Tenant, Purchaser shall have the option, to be exercised by notice to Seller not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Seller, either to terminate this Contract and receive the return of the Deposit, in which case the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Contract, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination, or to consummate the purchase of the Property without reduction of the Purchase Price, in which event the right to collect any condemnation award or compensation for such condemnation shall be assigned by Seller to Purchaser at Closing. In case of a Taking which does not give rise to a termination right of the GSA Tenant, this Contract shall remain in full force and effect and on the Closing Date either (A) Purchaser shall be entitled to any condemnation award to be granted and Seller shall assign all of its right, title and interest to such award to Purchaser, less such sums, if any, actually and reasonably expended by Seller to prosecute such claim and restore the Premises, or (B) if such award shall have been paid to Seller, such award, as shall be reduced by the such sums, if any, actually and reasonably expended by Seller to prosecute such claim and restore the Premises shall be paid to Purchaser. Seller agrees to deliver promptly after receipt thereof any and all written notices of a Taking received by Seller after the date hereof.

12.2 Destruction or Damage.

(a) If all or any part of the Premises is damaged by fire or other casualty (the “Casualty”) occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date, whether or not such damage affects a material part of any portion of the Premises, then:

(i) if the estimated cost of repair or restoration is less than or equal to One Million No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and, if the estimated time to substantially complete such repair or restoration is six months (6) months or less (after receipt of insurance proceeds) and the GSA Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate the GSA Lease or reduce lease payments by more than five percent (5%) as a result of such fire or other casualty, neither party shall have the right to terminate this Contract and the parties shall proceed to consummate this transaction in accordance with this Contract, without any abatement of the Purchase Price or any liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of such destruction or damage. In such event, Seller shall assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall have the right to make a claim for and to retain any casualty insurance proceeds received under, the casualty insurance policy in effect with respect to the Premises on account of such physical damage or destruction as shall be necessary to perform repairs to the Premises and/or to restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the occurrence of such fire or other casualty, and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the cash due at Closing for the amount of the deductible on such casualty insurance policy paid by Purchaser.

(ii) if (x) the estimated cost of repair or restoration exceeds One Million No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), (y) the estimated time to substantially complete such repair or restoration exceeds six (6) months, or (z) the GSA Tenant shall be entitled to terminate the GSA Lease or reduce lease payments by more

 

24


than five percent (5%) as a result of such fire or other casualty, Purchaser shall have the option, exercisable within fifteen (15) business days after the later of (i) receipt of notice of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty and (ii) receipt by Purchaser of the construction expert’s determination of the estimated cost to repair and/or restore and the estimated time such repair and/or restoration, to terminate this Contract by delivering notice of such termination to Seller, whereupon the Deposit (together with any interest accrued thereon) shall be returned to Purchaser, and this Contract shall be deemed canceled and of no further force or effect, and neither party shall have any further rights or liabilities against or to the other except for such rights or liabilities which are expressly provided in this Contract to survive the termination hereof. If a fire or other casualty described in this Section 12.2(a)(ii) shall occur and Purchaser shall not timely elect to terminate this Contract, then Purchaser and Seller shall consummate this transaction in accordance with this Contract, without any abatement of the Purchase Price or any liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of such destruction or damage and, in such event, Seller shall assign to Purchaser and Purchaser shall have the right to make a claim for and to retain any casualty insurance proceeds received under the casualty insurance policy in effect with respect to the Premises on account of such physical damage or destruction as shall be necessary to perform repairs to the Premises and/or restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the occurrence of such fire or other casualty and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the cash due at Closing for the amount of the deductible on such casualty insurance policy paid by Purchaser.

(iii) In the event that Seller and Purchaser shall disagree as to the estimated cost to repair and/or restore and the estimated time to complete contemplated in Section 12.2(a) above, then such dispute shall be determined by arbitration as provided in Article 14. The Closing Date may be extended up to a maximum extension of ninety (90) days, as reasonably required to obtain such estimates from the construction expert to determine the availability and amount of insurance proceeds and give the notices required under this Section 12.2. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate and exercise due diligence to obtain such damage estimates from the construction expert and to adjust the insurance claim with, and collect insurance proceeds from, the applicable insurer(s).

(b) The provisions of this Section 12.2 supersede any law applicable to the Premises governing the effect of fire or other casualty in contracts for real property.

13. Escrow.

13.1 Closing Escrow. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that Escrow Agent undertakes hereunder to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein. The Deposit and any other funds deposited with Escrow Agent will be held and disbursed as follows:

(a) Escrow Agent may (i) act in reliance upon any writing or instrument or signature which it, in good faith, believes to be genuine, (ii) assume the validity and accuracy of any statement or assertion contained in such a writing or instrument, and (iii) assume that any person purporting to give any writing in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

 

25


(b) Seller and Purchaser agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent from and against any and all actual claims, liabilities, losses, actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, or any other reasonable expenses, fees or charges of any character or nature whatsoever, which Escrow Agent may incur or with which it may be threatened solely by reason of its acting as escrow agent hereunder, except to the extent resulting from Escrow Agent’s gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct; and in connection therewith, to indemnify Escrow Agent against any and all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the cost of defending any action, suit or proceedings or resisting any claim; provided, however, that if such expenses are incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with litigation between Seller and Purchaser, the responsibility for indemnifying Escrow Agent for such expenses will belong solely to the non-prevailing party.

(c) Escrow Agent shall hold and disburse the Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Escrow Agent will not make any disbursement of the Deposit (except at a Closing pursuant to a fully executed Settlement Statement) without giving written notice to the party which will not receive the disbursement at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the scheduled disbursement. The failure of the party not receiving the disbursement to object to the disbursement by written notice to the other party and to Escrow Agent prior to the scheduled disbursement will constitute binding acquiescence of such party to the disbursement.

(d) If there is any disagreement about the interpretation of this Contract, or about the rights and obligations, or the propriety, of any action contemplated by Escrow Agent hereunder, Escrow Agent may, and upon the request of either Seller or Purchaser, shall file an action in interpleader to resolve such disagreement, but Escrow Agent will not take any other action unless both Seller and Purchaser agree in writing to such action. Escrow Agent will be indemnified (by Seller or Purchaser, whichever is the non-prevailing party) as set forth in the foregoing subsection (b) in connection with such interpleader action, and will be fully protected in suspending all or a part of its activities under this Contract until a final judgment in the interpleader action is received.

(e) Escrow Agent may consult with counsel of its own choice and will have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel. The costs of such counsel shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser, and the selection of such counsel shall be subject to the reasonable prior approval of Seller and Purchaser. Escrow Agent otherwise will not be liable for any mistakes of fact or error of judgment, or for any acts or omissions of any kind unless caused by its fraud willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(f) Escrow Agent may resign upon fifteen (15) days’ written notice to Seller and Purchaser, and if a successor escrow agent is not appointed within such fifteen (15) day period, Escrow Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to name a successor.

 

26


14. Arbitration.

(a) In the event of a dispute, controversy or difference between Purchaser and Seller over any disbursement request or release request (each, a “Claim”), at the request of either party, such dispute, controversy or difference shall be submitted to arbitration by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the “expedited arbitration” procedures of the commercial arbitration rules then in effect, except as modified by this Article 14. The arbitration tribunal shall be comprised of three (3) arbitrators each of whom shall have at least five (5) years’ experience in GSA leased or operated buildings, one to be appointed by each of Lessee and Operator and the third to be appointed by the American Arbitration Association.

(b) After being duly appointed, the arbitrators shall proceed with all reasonable dispatch to determine the issue. Prior to the commencement of arbitration hearings, the arbitrators shall provide an oath or undertaking of impartiality. The arbitrator shall have no power to alter, modify or amend the terms of this Contract. The decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing and in duplicate, one counterpart thereof to be delivered to each of the parties the “Final Determination”). Any award of the arbitrators shall be limited to a determination as to whether and to what extent a Claim should be paid out of the Post-Closing Escrow.

(c) The arbitration shall be conducted in Miami, Florida and the arbitration session shall be held not later than twenty (20) days after the final selection of the arbitrators. The costs of arbitration shall be allocated by the arbitrator to be paid by the non-prevailing party. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator in accordance with this Article 14 may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

15. Miscellaneous.

15.1 Broker. Seller and Purchaser represent to each other that neither party has dealt with any broker or real estate consultant other than Holliday Fenaglio Fowler, L.P. (“Broker”) in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Contract. Seller agrees to pay all fees, commissions or other charges due to Broker, if, as and when the Closing occurs hereunder, pursuant to a separate agreement with Broker. Seller and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold the other free and harmless from and against any actual liabilities, damages, costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered by the indemnified party arising from a misrepresentation or a breach of any covenant made by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Section. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing or termination of this Contract.

15.2 Assignment of this Contract. This Contract may not be assigned by Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller, except to an affiliate of Purchaser (a) that is controlled by, or under common control with, Purchaser (which shall include any entity in which Purchaser, or its members or its members’ principals, possess, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of its management and policies, whether through ownership of voting securities or otherwise), or (b) in which Purchaser or an affiliate of Purchaser is a member or principal, so long as in either case any such entity or entities are controlled in whole or part by Purchaser (for itself or together with a co-managing member) and after delivery of written notice thereof to the Seller. Purchaser and any permitted assignee of Purchaser shall execute and

 

27


deliver to Seller within five (5) days prior to Closing an assignment and assumption agreement whereby Purchaser assigns all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Contract to such assignee, and such assignee assumes all of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, without Purchaser being released from such obligations. A direct or indirect transfer, sale or assignment of the majority stock interest in a corporate purchaser or the majority membership interest in a limited liability company purchaser or the majority or any general partnership interest of a partnership purchaser shall constitute an assignment of this Contract, which assignment or attempted assignment shall be void if made without the prior written consent of Seller. No assignment of this Contract shall relieve Purchaser from any of its obligations set forth herein arising prior to or after the effective date of the assignment.

15.3 Attorneys’ Fees. If a Purchaser or Seller institute a legal proceeding against the other party in connection with this Contract, the non-prevailing party in such proceeding shall reimburse the prevailing party all reasonable attorneys’ fees paid by the prevailing party or on behalf of Escrow Agent in connection with such proceeding.

15.4 Notices. All notices hereunder to Seller or Purchaser shall be sent: (i) by Federal Express or other overnight courier which obtains a signature upon delivery; (ii) via facsimile; or (iii) by hand delivery, in each case addressed to such party at the address of such party set forth below or at such other address as such party shall designate from time to time by notice:

(b) All Evaluation Material shall not be used or duplicated by Purchaser in any way detrimental to Seller, or for any purpose other than evaluating a possible purchase of the Premises by Purchaser, for any equity/joint venture partners or obtaining financing.

The Related Parties shall be informed of the confidential nature of the Evaluation Material and shall be directed to keep all such information in the strictest confidence and use such information only for the purpose of evaluating a possible purchase by Purchaser. Purchaser will promptly, upon request of Seller following the termination of this Contract, deliver to Seller all Evaluation Material furnished by Seller, whether furnished before or after the date hereof, without retaining copies thereof. Purchaser will direct Related Parties to whom Evaluation Material is made available not to make similar disclosures and any such disclosure shall be deemed made by and be the responsibility of Purchaser.

15.22 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. SELLER AND PURCHASER EACH HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE EACH PARTY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

  Re: Irrevocable Notice for Disbursements

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain [Deposit Account Agreement] between [Seller Name] (“Owner”) and [Depository Institution] (the “Bank”) dated as of ____________________ (“Account Agreement”) designated account number ________________ (the “Account”).

As you know, Owner has entered into that certain Contract for Sale with BC Development Co., LLC, a Missouri limited liability company (together with its successors and assigns, the “Buyer”), for the purchase and sale of certain real property owned by Owner (the “Property”). Owner leases the Property to the United States of America, General Services Administration (the “GSA”), which is the sole tenant of the Property, and the GSA deposits its rent payment into the Account monthly. Contemporaneously with Buyer’s acquisition of the Property from Owner, Owner will assign all of its rights in and to the lease for the Property and rents received from the Property pursuant to a Bill of Sale, Assignment and Assumption Agreement by and between Owner and Buyer. However, the GSA may continue to make payments to the Account instead of to an account designated by Buyer.

In order to ensure that rent payments are directed to Buyer, Owner hereby irrevocably directs Bank to disburse funds received into the Account by Bank after the date hereof to an account designated by Buyer in writing to Bank immediately after receipt of such funds by Bank.

Owner hereby agrees that this Letter Agreement shall be irrevocable, shall not be amended, except with the prior written consent of Buyer, and shall supersede any modification, amendment or alteration of the Account Agreement (whether executed prior to this Letter Agreement or after). No changes shall be made to the Account Agreement regarding the amount of or conditions to disbursement or any other material terms.

The parties executing this Letter Agreement recognize and agree that Buyer is the third-party beneficiary of this Letter Agreement. This Letter Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which is an original and all of which together constitute one document.

The Deposit shall be held in escrow by Escrow Agent, in an interest-bearing escrow account with interest to accrue for the benefit of the party entitled to the Deposit hereunder.

Seller and its members shall indemnify and hold Purchaser, its members and its indirect owners harmless from and against any and all costs associated with its obligations under this Section 9.6(b) as well as any losses suffered by such parties for Seller’s failure to comply with the covenants contained in this Section 9.6(b). The provisions of this Section 9.6(b) shall expressly survive the Closing until the later of (i) the Survival Period, or (ii) the date upon which Seller delivers to Purchaser the final LEED® certification for the Improvements.
