This provision shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.

ARTICLE II

PURCHASE PRICE

2.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price is SIXTEEN MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND and 00/100 DOLLARS ($16,850,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price, net to Seller without deduction, credit to Purchaser or expense to Seller, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, will be deposited by Purchaser with Escrow Agent (as defined in Section 3.1) no later than the time of Closing by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds. No portion of the Purchase Price shall be allocated, nor attributable, to any items of personal property. The Purchase Price must be received by Escrow Agent by 1:00 P.M. on a particular day in order for Closing to be deemed to have taken place as of such date.

ARTICLE III

DEPOSIT AND OPENING OF ESCROW

3.1 Deposit. Within three (3) Business Days following the Effective Date (time being of the essence), Purchaser will deposit ONE MILLION and 00/100 DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) (the “Deposit”) with Chicago Title Insurance Company, 2828 Routh Street, Suite 800, Dallas, Texas 75201 (in such capacity, Escrow Agent”) by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds and will provide Escrow Agent with a fully completed form W-9 which provides Purchaser’s tax identification number. If Purchaser fails to deposit the Deposit within the time period provided for in this Section 3.1, Seller may, at any time prior to Escrow Agent’s receipt of the Deposit, terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall be terminated and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

3.2 Interest Bearing. The Deposit shall be held by Escrow Agent in an interest-bearing escrow account with the banking institution set forth in Section 14.1(a). All interest and income on the Deposit will be remitted to the party entitled to the Deposit pursuant to this Agreement.

 

11


3.3 Application. If Closing occurs, the Deposit will be credited against the Purchase Price at Closing. If Closing does not occur in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Deposit shall be delivered to the party entitled to the Deposit, as provided in this Agreement. In all events, the Deposit shall be held in escrow by Escrow Agent, in trust in accordance with the provisions of Article XIV.

3.4 Independent Consideration. Within three (3) Business Days following the Effective Date, Purchaser shall pay to Seller as further consideration for this Agreement, in cash, by certified or bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds, the sum of ONE HUNDRED and 00/100 DOLLARS ($100.00) (the “Independent Consideration”). Such Independent Consideration shall not be part of, and shall be in addition to the Deposit and the Purchase Price. The Independent Consideration is independent of any other consideration provided hereunder, shall be fully earned by Seller upon the Effective Date, and is not refundable under any circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event the Deposit is returnable to Purchaser for any reason under this Agreement and such Independent Consideration shall not then have been paid to Seller, an amount equal to such Independent Consideration shall be withheld by the Escrow Agent from the Deposit and not delivered to Purchaser, but shall instead be delivered to Seller in satisfaction of Purchaser’s obligation to pay such Independent Consideration.

ARTICLE IV

(a) Performance by Seller. Seller’s performance in all material respects of the obligations, covenants and deliveries required of Seller under this Agreement.

(b) Seller’s Deliveries. Seller’s delivery at Closing of the following, all documents to be executed originals, unless otherwise set forth below, and, if applicable, witnessed and properly acknowledged, provided, however, that delivery of the items set forth in Section 4.1(b)(iii), (iv) and (ix) may be accomplished via on-site delivery at the Property after Closing or in such other manner as agreed by Purchaser and Seller:

(i) A deed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Deed”), subject to the following matters:

(1) Non-delinquent real property taxes, water and sewer charges and all assessments (governmental and private) and unpaid installments thereof which are not yet due and payable, subject to the provisions of Section 11.2;

(2) Any matter (including any lien, encumbrance or easement) voluntarily imposed or consented to in writing by Purchaser prior to or as of Closing, or created by, through or under Purchaser;

 

12


(3) Laws and governmental rules, regulations, including all building codes, zoning regulations and ordinances, that affect the Property and its use, operation and maintenance;

(4) Such state of facts as are or as may be shown on an accurate and current survey of the Property and by inspection of the Property;

(6) Rights of tenants, as tenants only, under the terms and conditions of the Leases; and

(7) the Permitted Exceptions.

(ii) An Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit E (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”);

(iii) All original Leases to the extent available (and if unavailable, copies thereof to the extent available), and all leasing and other files relating to the Property and all other licenses, certificates, permits, plans, books, records and reports, any letters of credit held as security deposits under any of the Leases and all instruments reasonably required to transfer such letters of credit to Purchaser and other materials that comprise the Intangible Property, to the extent such items are in Seller’s actual possession, all such items to be delivered within five (5) Business Days following Closing;

(iv) The Service Agreements (copies of which shall be acceptable if originals are unavailable), which are being assumed by Purchaser;

(v) A Certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F that Seller is not a “foreign person”;

(vi) A copy of an Assistant Secretary’s Certificate evidencing the authority of individuals to execute any instruments executed and delivered by Seller at Closing, together with a certificate of good standing of Seller;

(vii) A bill of sale in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G;

(viii) A closing statement in form and content satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser (the “Closing Statement”) signed by Seller, which Closing Statement may be transmitted via PDF;

(ix) All keys and lock combinations for the Property and all leasing and other files relating to the Property and all other licenses, certificates, permits, plans, books, records and reports and other materials that comprise the Intangible Property, to the extent such items are in Seller’s actual possession or control;

(x) Original tenant estoppel certificates executed by all tenants under existing Leases and New Leases at the Property (the “Required Tenant Estoppel

 

13


Certificates”) shall be delivered to Purchaser at least three (3) Business Days prior to Closing. Seller shall not be obligated to obtain estoppel certificates from any party occupying any portion of the Improvements pursuant to a license agreement and the portion of the Improvements occupied by such licensees shall not be included in leased square footage of the Improvements for the purpose of calculations under this Section 4.1(b)(x). Each Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate: (1) will be on the form attached to the applicable Lease, if any, or if there is no form attached to the Lease, then will be substantially on the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (provided, however, if any Lease limits the provisions to be included in any estoppel certificate, the form may be modified accordingly); (2) will not have been modified in any substantive, adverse manner; and (3) must be dated within 30 days of the Closing Date. The addition of any knowledge qualifications to an estoppel certificate will not in and of itself cause such tenant estoppel certificate to fail to satisfy the requirements for an acceptable Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate. An estoppel certificate shall be an acceptable Required Estoppel Certificate notwithstanding that such estoppel certificate may contain claims that are based on (x) facts disclosed in the Property Documents or on the Exhibits or Schedules hereto and the items referenced to thereon, including facts disclosed in the Leases, prior to the Effective Date, or (y) an assertion by the tenant that there are amounts due from landlord to such tenant allocable to periods prior to Closing and which, under the terms of this Agreement or by separate agreement, Seller has agreed or shall agree to pay prior to Closing (or to give Purchaser a credit at Closing for such amounts at Closing). If any Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate contains statements or allegations that a default or potential default exists on the part of Seller under the applicable Lease or contains information inconsistent with any representations of Seller contained in this Agreement and Purchaser elects to close the purchase and sale transaction contemplated herein notwithstanding the existence of such statements, allegations or information, then such Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate shall be deemed acceptable for purposes of this Section 4.1(b)(x), notwithstanding the existence of such allegations, statements or information and Seller shall have no liability whatsoever to Purchaser hereunder with respect to the existence of such allegations, statements or information. If a tenant’s obligations have been guaranteed and if the Lease or the guaranty require the guarantor to sign a certification, the estoppel certificate must include a certification by the applicable guarantor that the guaranty remains in effect in accordance with its terms. If the Lease or guaranty does not require guarantor to sign a certification, Seller will request a certification from any guarantor but obtaining such certificate(s) is not a condition to the Closing. The completed forms of the estoppel certificates must be prepared by Seller and submitted to Purchaser for Purchaser’s review and approval, prior to delivery to tenant. If Purchaser fails to approve or disapprove the completed form of the tenant estoppels within two (2) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt thereof, Purchaser will be deemed to have approved the completed form of the tenant estoppels. In the event Seller fails, for any reason, to deliver to the Purchaser the required number of Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.1(b)(x) prior to Closing, then Seller will not be deemed in default hereunder, and Purchaser’s sole remedy will be to terminate this Agreement, whereupon Escrow Agent will return the Deposit to Purchaser and this Agreement shall be terminated and thereafter neither party shall have any further right or obligation to the other hereunder, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

(i) deliver the Purchase Price (as adjusted pursuant to the executed Closing Statement) to Seller in the form of a wire transfer of immediately available funds, and (ii) release for recordation the Deed and such other Closing Documents as are to be recorded.

ARTICLE VI

6.1 Review and Approval of Documents and Materials. Within two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller will deliver to Purchaser copies of the documents (i) which pertain to the Property, (ii) are located at the Property or are in any property manager’s office and (iii) are non-proprietary and not privileged, at Seller’s sole cost and expense (the “Property Documents”).

6.2 Reliability of Information. The Property Documents and other information

 

17


provided by Seller to Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement are for informational purposes only. Subject to Seller’s Representations, Purchaser (a) is not in any way entitled to rely upon the accuracy of the information within the Property Documents and other information provided by Seller and (b) Purchaser will rely exclusively on its own inspections and consultants with respect to all matters Purchaser deems relevant to its decision to acquire the Property. The provisions of this Section 6.2 shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Deed or other termination of this Agreement and shall not be deemed merged into the Deed or any instrument of conveyance delivered at Closing.

6.3 Due Diligence Period. Purchaser will have until 5:00 P.M. on December 12, 2017 (the “Due Diligence Period”) to review the Property Documents and other materials pertaining to the Property and, subject to Section 7.1, to conduct such studies, tests, interviews and inspections as it deems appropriate to analyze the feasibility of the acquisition and ownership of the Property and to determine, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, that the Property is suitable for acquisition by Purchaser.

6.4 Termination. If, for any reason or no reason, Purchaser determines in its sole and absolute discretion within the Due Diligence Period that it does not want to acquire and own the Property, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice of termination (“Notice of Termination”) to Seller and Escrow Agent on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (time being of the essence). Upon receipt of such Notice of Termination, Escrow Agent shall forthwith refund the Deposit to Purchaser without the need for any further action and Seller and Purchaser shall be released from all further obligations to each other under this Agreement (with the exception of those obligations which expressly survive termination). If Purchaser fails to deliver a Notice of Termination as provided herein, Purchaser will be deemed to have approved acquisition of the Property and to have waived any right to (a) terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Article VI, and (b) will have no further right to terminate this Agreement, except as may be otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

INSPECTIONS

ARTICLE VIII

TITLE AND SURVEY

8.1 Title Documents. Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a commitment for title insurance (“Title Commitment”) for the Property from the Dallas office of Chicago Title Insurance Company (in such capacity, the “Title Company”).

8.2 Survey. Within two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date, Purchaser will order any recertification of Seller’s existing survey or a new survey (in each case, the “Survey”) that Purchaser has elected to obtain.

8.3 Title Objections. Purchaser will have until the 6:00 p.m. EST on December 8, 2017 to examine title to the Property and the Survey and in Purchaser’s sole discretion to object, by delivery of a notice of objections to Seller, time being of the essence, to any exceptions to title disclosed on the Title Commitment and to any matters disclosed on the Survey (the “Exceptions”). In no event shall Exceptions include any Monetary Lien Removal Obligations (as defined below). Upon receipt of such objections from Purchaser, Seller may, but is under no obligation to, remove or agree to remove the objectionable Exceptions, except Seller agrees to cause to be removed at Closing any liens, mortgages or deeds of trust recorded against the Property created by, through or under Seller and any security instrument(s) recorded against the Property in connection with the foregoing (“Monetary Lien Removal Obligation”). If Seller or Title Company does not (or does not agree to) remove or insure over (without payment of additional premium) the objectionable Exceptions on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article VI. If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article VI, the Exceptions and all other matters otherwise affecting title to the Property, except those matters Seller and/or the Title Company has removed or insured over or agreed to remove or insure over or which Seller is obligated to remove, will constitute the “Permitted Exceptions”.

8.4 Title Updates. If any supplemental title commitment or update issued subsequent to the date of the Title Commitment contains exceptions (the “New Exceptions”) other than those in the Title Commitment, Purchaser will be entitled to object to the New Exceptions by delivery of a notice of objections to Seller on or before the date that is five (5) days following Purchaser’s receipt of such supplement or update or, if earlier, the Closing Date (time being of the essence). If Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller a notice of objections on or before such date (time being of the essence), Purchaser will be deemed to have waived any objection to the New Exceptions, and the New Exceptions will be included as Permitted Exceptions. Seller will have not less than ten (10) days from the receipt of Purchaser’s notice (and, if necessary, Seller may extend the Closing Date to provide for such ten (10) day period and for five (5) days following such period for Purchaser’s response), within which time Seller may, but is under no obligation to remove or insure over the objectionable New Exceptions. If, within the ten (10) day period, Seller or Title Company does not (or does not agree to) remove or insure over the objectionable New Exceptions, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller no later than five (5) days following expiration of the (10) day cure period. If Purchaser terminates this Agreement, the Deposit will be promptly returned to Purchaser, and the parties shall be released

 

19


from all further obligations under this Agreement (except those that expressly survive termination of this Agreement). If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement in the manner set forth above, the New Exceptions (except those Seller and/or Title Company has removed or insured over or agreed to remove or insure over) will be included as Permitted Exceptions.

8.5 Encumbrances. The existence of mortgages, liens, or other encumbrances not permitted hereby shall not be objections to title but must be removed by Seller at the Closing by delivery to the Title Company at the Closing of properly executed instruments in recordable form necessary to satisfy the same together with recording and/or filing fees (or an appropriate credit against the Purchase Price given for such fees), and Purchaser and Seller agree that such mortgages, liens or other encumbrances may be paid out of the cash consideration to be paid by Purchaser.

8.6 Notice of Commencement. Work affecting the Property performed or to be performed by or on behalf of a tenant or subtenant under a Lease will not be Seller’s responsibility. Accordingly, notices of commencement of work to be performed by contractors or subcontractors engaged by such tenants or subtenants will not constitute objections to title.

8.7 Seller’s Failure to Remove. If Seller fails on or before Closing to remove any objectionable Exception or New Exception that Seller agreed in accordance with the terms of this Article to remove, then Purchaser may elect either to close with no adjustment to the Purchase Price or to terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit back. If Seller fails on or before Closing to remove any Monetary Lien Removal Obligation, then Purchaser may elect either to close with no adjustment to the Purchase Price or to exercise its remedies under Section 12.2 of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

RISK OF LOSS

9.1 Casualty. If the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing then promptly after Seller becomes aware of the damage or destruction Seller will notify Purchaser thereof (the “Damage Notice”). If the cost of repair is less than two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price, Closing will proceed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the full Purchase Price, notwithstanding the damage or destruction; provided, however, that Seller will pay or assign to Purchaser at Closing all insurance proceeds, if any, resulting from such casualty damage and credit to Purchaser any applicable deductible amounts under the insurance policies pursuant to which the insurance proceeds are paid or assigned. If the cost of repair is equal to or greater than two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price, Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after the date of the Damage Notice (and Closing will be extended as needed to provide for such 10-day period), in which event the Deposit will be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement within the 10-day period, Closing will proceed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the full Purchase Price, notwithstanding the damage or destruction and Seller will pay or assign to Purchaser at Closing all insurance proceeds, if any, resulting from the casualty and credit to Purchaser any applicable deductible amounts under the insurance policies pursuant to which the insurance proceeds are paid or assigned.

 

20


9.2 Condemnation. If, prior to Closing, a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding (“Taking”) is commenced against the Property, Seller will give Purchaser notice within ten (10) days after Seller receives notice that the proceeding has commenced.

(a) If the Taking is a Material Taking (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser may, by written notice to Seller (“Taking Notice”) elect to terminate this Agreement, which Taking Notice shall be sent no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of Seller’s notice (and Closing will be extended as needed to provide for such 30-day period). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Material Taking” shall be a Taking which (i) causes a material reduction in size of the Property or materially or adversely interferes with the planned use and operation of the Property, (ii) materially or adversely affects the ingress and egress to or from the Property, or (iii) in Purchaser’s reasonable opinion, adversely affects the market value of the Property;

(b) If the Taking is not a Material Taking or if it is a Material Taking and Purchaser does not give Seller a Taking Notice in accordance with Section 9.2(a), Purchaser will complete the transaction contemplated hereby without abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser all rights, if any, to receive the award payable as a result of such proceeding.

ARTICLE X

OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY

10.1 Operations. From the Effective Date through the Closing Date, Seller will continue to operate and maintain the Property substantially consistent with its standards of operation and maintenance prevailing immediately prior to the Effective Date.

10.2 Tenant Defaults. It is agreed that no representations have been made and no responsibility is assumed by Seller with respect to the continued occupancy of the Property or any part thereof by any tenant or tenants or subtenant or subtenants now or hereafter in possession. Seller will not institute any proceedings against a tenant without Purchaser’s prior approval which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Purchaser will be deemed to have approved commencement of proceedings if Purchaser fails to respond within three (3) Business Days after Purchaser receives written notice of Seller’s intent to commence proceedings.

10.3 Service Agreements. Seller may not, without Purchaser’s consent, enter into new service agreements and amend existing Service Agreements (collectively, “New Service Agreements”) with respect to the Property. Purchaser will be deemed to have consented to any proposed New Service Agreement unless Seller receives written notice from Purchaser, specifically setting forth the areas of objection within three (3) Business Days following receipt by Purchaser of the proposed New Service Agreement.

10.4 Leases. Seller may not, without Purchaser’s consent, enter into new leases and amend existing Leases (“New Leases”) with respect to the Property, including agreements to make leasehold improvements and pay leasing commissions. Purchaser will be deemed to have consented to any proposed New Lease unless Seller receives written notice from Purchaser,

 

21


specifically setting forth the areas of objection within three (3) Business Days following receipt by Purchaser of the proposed New Lease. Seller must include a summary of all tenant finish costs, leasing commissions and other costs associated with any New Lease in any notice delivered by Seller to Purchaser.

10.5 Purchaser Assumes Costs. Upon Closing, Purchaser will assume all liability for, and shall thereafter pay, all amounts (including tenant concessions and tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions or fees): (i) due under or in connection with, New Service Agreements and New Leases entered into in accordance with this Agreement; and (ii) that become payable on or after the Closing Date in connection with existing Leases and Service Agreements (notwithstanding the fact that such amounts under clauses (i) and (ii) may have been ascertainable prior to the Closing Date). If Seller has provided any tenant with free rent under the terms of its Lease (the “Free Rent”), then Seller agrees, at the Closing, to provide Purchaser with a credit against the Purchase Price equal to that portion of the Free Rent, if any, covering the period after the Closing Date (which Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s option, direct the Title Company to deliver to an escrow account designated by Purchaser). Except as set forth above, Seller will be responsible to pay all leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs currently due and payable under the Leases or that will be due and payable prior to the Closing under the Leases.

ARTICLE XI

Other than Seller’s legal fees, State, County and local transfer taxes, sales, use, gross receipts or similar taxes, the cost of recording any instruments required to discharge any liens or encumbrances against the Property required to be discharged by Seller at Closing, expenses Seller might incur in connection with its election to remove objections to title, real estate excise taxes associated with the transfer of the Property, the cost of the base Title Policy (but not the cost of extended coverage or any endorsements), payments made to the Broker as and to the extent provided in Section 15.4 of this Agreement, one-half of the escrow charges and any apportionment to be made pursuant to this Article XI, Purchaser shall pay all costs and expenses of this transaction including any charges associated with the recording of the Deed, title search and examination costs and charges, title premiums and fees associated with extended coverage or any endorsements, Survey costs (including expenses for the Survey ordered by Seller in order to expedite the sale, up to an amount not to exceed $5,000, but only if such Survey was certified in the past three (3) months), one-half of the escrow charges, and costs and expenses for or in connection with any loan obtained by Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Property or otherwise (including any intangibles, documentary and other taxes and the cost of any lender’s title insurance policy).

22


sellers or is customarily paid by sellers. The provisions of this Section 11.1 shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Deed and shall not be deemed merged into the Deed or any instrument of conveyance delivered at Closing

11.2 Prorations. The following are to be apportioned between Purchaser and Seller as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (provided, however, that in the event that any of the Leases or subleases, if any, covering all or part of the Property provide that the tenants or subtenants thereunder are responsible for direct payment of any of the expenses to the applicable taxing authority or service provider, such expenses shall not be apportioned as between Seller and Purchaser):

(a) Property taxes in accordance with the practice prevailing in the city, county and state where the Property is located;

Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller in connection with any such appeal. If Seller is successful in any such tax appeal related to the calendar year in which Closing occurs, Purchaser and Seller shall share in the cost of such appeal and rebates or refunds in the same proportion as the proration of real estate taxes set forth on the Closing Statement executed by the parties at Closing. Seller will also calculate and apply to the Property’s tenants’ accounts credits and charges if and where applicable. Seller will provide copies of this calculation, along with copies of the billings, to Purchaser, along with any balance due to Purchaser. If Purchaser is successful in any such tax appeal attributable to Seller’s period of ownership of the Property, Purchaser and Seller shall share in the cost of any such appeal and rebates or refunds in the same proportion as the proration of the real estate taxes set forth on the Closing Statement executed by the parties at Closing.

23


11.3 Rents. (a) Purchaser will receive a credit for all prepaid Rents, if any, paid by any tenants. Rents under the Leases will be adjusted and prorated on an “if as and when collected” basis. If, on the Closing Date, there are any unpaid rents for the month of Closing or past due Rents owed by any tenant for any prior period, Rents collected by Purchaser after the Closing Date from such tenants will be applied first, to amounts due Purchaser for periods following the month in which the Closing occurred, second, to the month of Closing; third, to amounts due Seller for the month prior to Closing; and fourth, to amounts due Seller for periods prior to the month before the Closing occurred. The party receiving such amount shall pay to the other party the portion to which it is entitled, within ten (10) days of its receipt of same.

(b) Supplementing subsection (a) above, additional or escalation rent based upon (x) a percentage of sales or (y) tenant’s share of real estate taxes, operating expenses, labor costs, costs of living indices or porter’s wages (collectively, “Overage Rent”) shall be adjusted and prorated on an “if, as and when collected” basis. The following shall apply to the extent Overage Rent is billed on the basis of Landlord’s estimates or an annual budget, which is subject to subsequent reconciliation and readjustment with each such tenant at the end of the applicable year:

(i) At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a reconciliation statement for calendar year 2017 through the end of the calendar month preceding the Closing Date, with all necessary supporting documentation, as to the Overage Rent paid by the tenants for calendar year 2017. Such reconciliation statement shall indicate any difference between the Overage Rent paid by the tenants (based on Seller’s annual 2017 budget for real estate taxes and operating expenses) and the amount that should have been paid by the tenants through the Closing Date (based on the actual expenses covering such time period);

(ii) If Seller has collected more on account of such Overage Rent than such actual amount for such time period (with it being acknowledged that such calculation shall be made only with respect to actually collected Overage Rent sums for such time period, and not any such sums that may be so receivable from tenants), then the amount of such difference shall be credited to Purchaser at Closing;

(iii) If Seller has collected less from the tenants for Overage Rents than the actual amounts for such time period, then the amount of such under-collected rents shall be paid and delivered to Seller if, as and when collected from the applicable tenant following the final reconciliation for the calendar year 2017;

(iv) Any Seller proposed prorations relating to Overage Rent shall be subject to Purchaser’s review and reasonable approval.

(c) The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall survive Closing for a period of one (1) year.

11.4 Costs Incurred Under New Leases. At Closing, Seller shall receive a credit from Purchaser in the aggregate amount of all tenant concessions, tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions or fees actually paid by Seller prior to Closing under or in connection with any New Leases entered into in accordance with this Agreement.

 

24


11.5 Security Deposits. All security deposits made by any of the tenants of the Property now held by Seller, as shown on Exhibit B-1, or hereafter received by Seller prior to Closing, will be turned over or credited to Purchaser at Closing, less any portions thereof that have been applied in accordance with the applicable Lease. If Seller is holding any Security Deposits in the form of letters of credit, Purchaser will not receive a credit for such Security Deposits, but Seller must deliver to Purchaser, at the Closing, the original of any such letter of credit, together with all transfer forms (executed, acknowledged and authenticated by Seller, as appropriate) and transfer fees required by the issuer thereof in order for Purchaser to have same transferred to Purchaser immediately following the Closing. Purchaser will indemnify and hold Seller harmless and free from any liability with respect to security deposits turned over or credited to Purchaser and such hold harmless will include any security deposits in the form of letters of credit which are transferred or re-issued in the name of Purchaser. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to cause Security Deposits that are in the form of a letter of credit or other instrument to be transferred to re-issued in the name of Purchaser, and, until such transfer or re-issuance, Seller shall, as Purchaser’s agent and only at Purchaser’s direction, draw on any letter of credit in accordance with the applicable Lease and deliver the proceeds to Purchaser. In the event Purchaser makes such a direction, and Seller effects a draw on the letter of credit and delivers the applicable proceeds to Purchaser, Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from any claims arising therefrom, including any assertion by a tenant that such draw was wrongful or a breach of the applicable Lease, which indemnification shall be inclusive of reasonable attorney’s fees, expenses and disbursements. The provisions of this Section 11.5 shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Deed and shall not be deemed merged into the Deed or any instrument of conveyance delivered at Closing.

11.6 Final Adjustment After Closing. If final bills are not available or cannot be issued prior to Closing for any item being prorated under this Article, including calendar year Seller CAM reconciliations, if any, then Purchaser and Seller agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as such bills are available, final adjustment to be made as soon as reasonably possible after Closing. Payments in connection with the final adjustment will be due within ten (10) Business Days of notice. Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate and to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such adjustments, other than for real estate taxes or CAM charges, not more than sixty (60) days after Closing. Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to complete adjustments for real estate taxes and for CAM charges on or before the date which is one (1) year after the Closing. This Section 11.6 shall survive Closing.

11.7 Actual Number of Days. All prorations and/or adjustments provided for in this Agreement will be made based on the actual number of days in the month, unless specifically stated otherwise.

12.1 Default by Purchaser. IF PURCHASER FAILS TO CONSUMMATE THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN SELLER’S DEFAULT OR THE PERMITTED TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT BY EITHER SELLER OR PURCHASER AS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER WILL BE ENTITLED, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RECEIVE THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR THE BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT. IT IS AGREED BETWEEN SELLER AND PURCHASER THAT THE ACTUAL DAMAGES TO SELLER IN THE EVENT OF SUCH BREACH ARE IMPRACTICAL TO ASCERTAIN, AND THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE THEREOF. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, SELLER SHALL RETAIN ALL ITS RIGHTS PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AT LAW, AND/OR IN EQUITY, AND NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 12.1, WILL LIMIT THE LIABILITY OF PURCHASER UNDER (I) ANY INDEMNITY PROVIDED BY PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT; (II) ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS EXECUTED AND DELIVERED TO SELLER PURSUANT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR (III) ANY ACTIONS COMMENCED AFTER CLOSING WITH RESPECT TO ANY OBLIGATION OR REPRESENTATION OF EITHER SELLER OR PURCHASER, WHICH BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT SURVIVES CLOSING, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROVISIONS REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY AND PAYMENT OF BROKERAGE FEES.

12.2 Default by Seller. In the event of any default by Seller in the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser’s sole remedies will be either to: (a) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit in full consideration of any claims Purchaser may have against the Seller or (b) to commence within sixty (60) days of the date Closing was to have occurred and diligently prosecute an action in the nature of specific performance; provided, if the default by Seller is a willful failure to close, in addition to its other rights, Purchaser may collect from Seller an amount equal to Purchaser’s actual out of pocket costs incurred in the negotiation of this Agreement and the investigation of the Property up to $75,000. If an action in the nature of specific performance is not an available remedy or if Purchaser elects to commence such action and is unsuccessful, then the Deposit will be returned to Purchaser and the parties released from their obligations under this Agreement (except those that expressly survive termination of this Agreement). Under no circumstances will Purchaser have available to it an action at law or otherwise for damages, except as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII

(j) To Seller’s knowledge, no pending or threatened litigation involving the Property or Seller or any party having an ownership in or otherwise controlling Seller exists which if determined adversely would restrain or otherwise adversely affect the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, would declare illegal, invalid or non-binding any of Seller’s obligations or covenants to Purchaser under this Agreement or would likely detrimentally affect the value or the use or operation of the Property for its intended purpose. Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly of any such litigation of which Seller becomes aware

13.2 Definition of Seller’s Knowledge. Any representation and/or warranty made “to Seller’s knowledge” will not be deemed to imply any duty of inquiry. For purposes of this Agreement, the term Seller’s “knowledge” means the actual knowledge of the Designated Representative of Seller, without taking into account any constructive or imputed knowledge, and will not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other officer, director, agent, employee or representative of Seller, or any affiliate of Seller, or to impose upon such Designated Representative any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge or

ESCROW PROVISIONS

14.1 Escrow Provisions. The Deposit and any other sums (including any interest earned thereon) which the parties agree shall be held in escrow (collectively “Escrow Funds”), shall be held by Escrow Agent, in trust and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:

 

  (a) Escrow Agent hereby agrees to hold, administer, and disburse the Escrow Funds pursuant to this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall invest such Escrow Funds in a segregated, interest-bearing money market account at a banking institution reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser, as provided in Section 3.2 and such Escrow Funds shall, unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, be held at such banking institution until disbursed as provided herein, and all such disbursements shall be made to the appropriate payees directly from such banking institution. In the event any interest or other income shall be earned on such Escrow Funds, such interest or other income shall become a part of the Escrow Funds and will be the property of the party entitled to the Deposit pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser’s and Seller’s Federal Identification Numbers are set forth below.

 

  (b)

At such time as Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser or Seller, or both, setting forth the identity of the party to whom such Escrow Funds (or portions thereof) are to be disbursed and further setting forth the specific

 

30


  section or paragraph of the Agreement pursuant to which the disbursement of such Escrow Funds (or portions thereof) is being requested, Escrow Agent shall disburse such Escrow Funds pursuant to such notice; provided, however, that if such notice is given by either Purchaser or Seller but not both (except as to a notice of termination delivered by Purchaser under the provisions of Section 6.4, as to which notice of Purchaser only shall be required for the release to Purchaser of the Deposit by Escrow Agent hereunder), Escrow Agent shall (i) promptly notify the other party (either Purchaser or Seller as the case may be) that Escrow Agent has received a request for disbursement, and (ii) withhold disbursement of such Escrow Funds for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of such notice of disbursement and if Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser or Seller within said ten (10) day period which notice countermands the earlier notice of disbursement, then Escrow Agent shall withhold such disbursement until both Purchaser and Seller can agree upon a disbursement of such Escrow Funds. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree to send to the other, pursuant to Section 15.6 below, a duplicate copy of any written notice sent to Escrow Agent and requesting any such disbursement or countermanding a request for disbursement.

 

  (c) In performing any of its duties hereunder, Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability to anyone for any damages, losses, or expenses, except for willful default, gross negligence or breach of trust, and it shall accordingly not incur any such liability with respect to (i) any action taken or omitted in good faith upon advice of its legal counsel given with respect to any questions relating to the duties and responsibilities of Escrow Agent under this Agreement, or (ii) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including any written notice or instruction provided for in this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons, and to conform with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

  (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.1(b) (except as to a notice of termination delivered by Purchaser under the provisions of Section 6.4,, as to which notice of Purchaser only shall be required for the release to Purchaser of the Deposit by Escrow Agent hereunder), in the event of a dispute between Purchaser and Seller sufficient, in the sole discretion of Escrow Agent to justify its doing so or in the event that Escrow Agent has not disbursed the Escrow Funds on or before ten (10) days after the Closing Date, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to tender into the registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction the Escrow Funds, together with such legal pleadings as it may deem appropriate, and thereupon be discharged from all further duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any such legal action may be brought in a federal or state court in Maricopa County, Arizona, or, if such courts do not have jurisdiction as to the parties or matters involved then such court as Escrow Agent shall determine to have jurisdiction thereof.

 

  (e)

Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature

 

31


  page hereof in order to confirm that upon receipt of the Deposit the Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Funds in escrow, and shall disburse the Escrow Funds pursuant to the provisions of this Article XIV.

15.7 Assignment. Purchaser will not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder without Seller’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, and any attempted assignment or transfer without Seller’s consent will be null and void ab initio and of no force and effect. The foregoing notwithstanding, provided that Purchaser is in compliance with the conditions hereinafter set forth, Purchaser shall have the right to assign this Agreement, without Seller’s consent, provided (a) the assignment is effective on or before the Closing Date, (b) the assignment is to one Affiliated Entity (as defined below) created by Purchaser for the purpose of purchasing the Property or to an investment advisory client of Purchaser or an entity formed on its behalf, (c) the assignment provides for the assumption of all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, (d) that such assignee has assumed any and all obligations and liabilities of Purchaser under this Agreement, but, notwithstanding such assumption, Purchaser shall continue to be liable hereunder, and (e) Purchaser provides Seller, at least three (3) Business Days’ prior to Closing, with written notice of such assignment. An “Affiliated Entity” shall mean an entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Purchaser named herein. Any assignment which fails to meet the criteria of this Section 15.7 or to which Seller has not otherwise consented shall be null and void ab initio and of no force and effect.

15.8 Further Assurances. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree to complete, execute and deliver to the appropriate governmental authorities any returns, affidavits or other instruments that may be required with respect to any transfer, gains, sales, stamps and similar taxes, if any, arising out of this transaction. The provisions of this Section will survive Closing.

15.9 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona without reference to such State’s conflicts of laws principles.

15.10 Offer Only. This Agreement will not constitute a binding agreement by and between the parties hereto until such time as this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each such party and the Deposit is deposited with the Escrow Agent in accordance with this Agreement.

15.11 Access to Property Files. All files at the Property that relate to tenants whose leases have terminated and who have vacated their units at the Property prior to Closing (the “Former Tenant Lease Files”), together with any and all rights, defenses, causes of action and claims relating thereto, shall remain the property of Seller. Former Tenant Lease Files may be removed from the Property by Seller on or prior to Closing.

15.12 E-mail or PDF Signatures. Signatures to this Agreement, the Site Access and Indemnification Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement transmitted by e-mail, PDF or other electronic imaging shall be valid and effective to bind the party so signing. Delivery of the execution original of this Agreement or any e-mail signature or PDF thereof may be given on behalf of a party by the attorney of such party.

 

34


15.13 Severability. If any portion of this Agreement becomes or is held to be illegal, null or void or against public policy, for any reason, the remaining portions of this Agreement will not be affected thereby and will remain in force and effect to the fullest extent permissible by law.

15.14 No Waiver. No waiver by Purchaser or Seller of a breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement by the other party will be construed or held to be a waiver of any succeeding or preceding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. No waiver of any default by Purchaser or Seller under this Agreement will be implied from any omission by the other party to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect a default other than as specified in such waiver. The consent or approval by Purchaser or Seller to or of any act by the other party requiring the consent or approval of the first party will not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary such party’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar acts by the other party.

15.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which, when taken together shall constitute fully executed originals.

15.16 Limitation of Liability. If Purchaser becomes aware after Closing of any breach and/or violation of any of Seller’s Representations or of any other matter for which Seller would or could become liable to Purchaser, whether hereunder or under any Closing Document, and Purchaser timely commences any action(s) to enforce any alleged breach and/or violation of any of Seller’s Representations or to enforce any other claims for liability against Seller and, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any document executed by Seller pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, in no event shall Seller be liable for any special, consequential, speculative, punitive or similar damages, nor shall Seller’s liability in any such event or events exceed in the aggregate $353,000.00 (“Seller’s Maximum Liability”) and no claim by Purchaser may be made and Seller shall not be liable for any judgment in any action based upon any such claim unless and until Purchaser’s claims are for an aggregate amount in excess of $50,000.00, in which event Seller’s liability respecting any final judgment concerning such claim(s) shall be for the entire amount thereof, subject to Seller’s Maximum Liability. The amount of Seller’s Maximum Liability shall be inclusive of attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements and ancillary court and experts’ costs and fees. Seller agrees that, during the Survival Period, Seller will not make any distribution, dividend or other payment to Seller’s equity owners to the extent that, as a result thereof, the unencumbered capital available to Seller to satisfy any claim under this agreement would be less than Seller’s Maximum Liability. Seller also acknowledges that Seller’s obligations with respect to any covenant, indemnity, representation or warranty under this Agreement which expressly survives the Closing shall be considered a “liability” for purposes of any distribution limitation imposed under the organizational laws (e.g., Sections 18-607(b) and 18-804(c) of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and Sections 17-607(b) and 17-804(c) of the Delaware Limited Partnership Act) applicable to Seller; provided however, that all of Seller’s liabilities hereunder shall be subject to all of the limitations on liability set forth in this

 

35


Agreement, including this Section 15.16. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the limitation as to Seller’s liability in this Section 15.16 does not apply to Seller’s liability with respect to prorations and adjustments under Article XI or to claims under Section 15.4. The provisions of this Section 15.16 shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Deed and shall not be deemed merged into the Deed or any instrument of conveyance delivered at Closing.

15.17 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

15.18 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, each and all of the provisions of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and will be binding upon the successors-in-interest and assigns of the parties hereto. As used in the foregoing, “successors” refers to the successors to all or substantially all of the assets of the parties hereto and to their successors by merger or consolidation.

15.19 No Partnership or Joint Venture. Seller or Purchaser will not, by virtue of this Agreement, in any way or for any reason be deemed to have become a partner of the other in the conduct of its business or otherwise, or a joint venturer. In addition, by virtue of this Agreement there shall not be deemed to have occurred a merger of any joint enterprise between Purchaser and Seller.

15.20 No Recordation. Seller and Purchaser each agrees that neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or notice hereof shall be recorded, and Purchaser further agrees (a) not to file any notice of pendency, lis pendens or other instrument (other than a judgment) against the Property or any portion thereof, and (b) to be responsible for and to indemnify Seller against all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller by reason of the filing by Purchaser of any such notice of pendency, lis pendens or other instrument. The provisions of this Section 15.20 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

15.21 Designation Agreement. Section 6045(e) of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (herein collectively called the “Reporting Requirements”) require an information return to be made to the United States Internal Revenue Service, and a statement to be furnished to Seller, in connection with the Transaction. Escrow Agent is either (x) the person responsible for closing the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements) or (y) the disbursing title or escrow company that is most significant in terms of gross proceeds disbursed in connection with the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements). Accordingly:

(a) Escrow Agent is hereby designated as the “Reporting Person” (as defined in the Reporting Requirements) for the Transaction. Escrow Agent shall perform all duties that are required by the Reporting Requirements to be performed by the Reporting Person for the Transaction.

 

36


(b) Seller and Purchaser shall furnish to Escrow Agent, in a timely manner, any information requested by Escrow Agent and necessary for Escrow Agent to perform its duties as Reporting Person for the Transaction.

(c) Each of the parties hereto shall retain this Agreement for a period of four (4) years following the calendar year during which Closing occurs.

The provisions of this Section 15.21 will survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed and shall not be deemed merged into the Deed or any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Closing.

15.22 Section 1031 Exchanges. Purchaser and Seller agree that, at either Purchaser’s or Seller’s sole election, this transaction may be structured as an exchange of like-kind properties under Section 1031 of the Code, and the regulations and proposed regulations thereunder. The parties agree that if either wishes to make such election, it must do so by written notice to the other party at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. If either so elects, the other shall reasonably cooperate, provided any such exchange is consummated pursuant to an agreement that is mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller and which shall be executed and delivered on or before the Closing Date. The electing party shall in all events be responsible for all liability, costs and expenses related to the Section 1031 exchange and shall fully indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any and all liability, claim, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements), proceedings and causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of, connected with or in any manner related to such 1031 exchange that would not have been incurred by the non-electing party if the transaction were a purchase for cash. In no event shall any party be required to take record title to any property other than the Property in connection with such transaction, nor shall the non-electing party be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the replacement property. Seller shall not by any agreement or acquiescence to an exchange have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to Purchaser that the exchange in fact complies with the Code.

15.23 Seller Survival Period. (a) Seller’s covenants, agreements, indemnities, warranties and representations contained in this Agreement and in any document executed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement (except for those set forth in Sections 11.1, 13.1(d), 13.1(i), 15.4, 15.16, 15.21 and this Section 15.23 which are meant to and shall survive indefinitely) and in any Closing Document (except as may be expressly provided in any Closing Document) shall survive Purchaser’s purchase of the Property only for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending six (6) months after the Closing Date or, if another period of time is specified, such other period of time (as applicable, the “Survival Period”). It is expressly agreed that any action, suit or proceeding with respect to the truth, accuracy or completeness of all representations and warranties in this Agreement or the breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or in any Closing Document (except as set forth above), shall be commenced, if at all, on or before the end of the Survival Period (time being of the essence) and, if not commenced on or before such date, thereafter will be void and of no force or effect. Purchaser shall provide written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Survival Period of any alleged breach of such covenants, indemnities, warranties or representations and shall allow Seller thirty

 

37


(30) days within which to cure such breach, or, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, an additional reasonable period of time so long as a cure has been commenced and is being diligently pursued. If Seller fails to cure such breach after written notice and within such cure period, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be an action at law for actual damages as a consequences thereof, which must be commenced, if at all, within the Survival Period; provided, however, that if within the Survival Period Purchaser gives Seller written notice of such a breach and Seller notifies Purchaser of Seller’s commencement of a cure, commences to cure and thereafter terminates such cure effort, Purchaser shall have an additional thirty (30) days from the date of such termination within which to commence an action at law for damages as a consequence of Seller’s failure to cure. The Survival Period referred to herein shall apply to known as well as unknown breaches of such covenants, indemnities, warranties or representations. Purchaser’s waiver(s) and release(s) set forth in Sections 1.6 and 1.7 shall apply fully to liabilities under such covenants, indemnities, representations and warranties and is hereby incorporated by this reference. Purchaser specifically acknowledges that such termination of liability represents a material element of the consideration to Seller.

(b) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, if Seller becomes aware during the pendency of this Agreement prior to Closing of any matters which make any of its representations or warranties untrue, Seller shall promptly disclose such matters to Purchaser in writing. In the event that Seller so discloses any matters which make any Seller’s representations and warranties untrue in any material respect or in the event that Purchaser otherwise becomes aware during the pendency of this Agreement prior to Closing of any matters which make any of Seller’s representations or warranties untrue in any material respect, Seller shall bear no liability for such matters (provided that such untruth is not the result of Seller’s breach of any express covenant set forth in this Agreement), but Purchaser shall have the right to elect in writing on or before the Closing Date, (i) to waive such matters and complete the purchase of the Property without reduction of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) as to any matters disclosed following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, to terminate this Agreement and receive its Deposit.

(c) The provisions of this Section 15.23 will survive Closing and the delivery of the Deed or termination of this Agreement and shall not be deemed merged into the Deed or any instrument of conveyance delivered at Closing.

15.24 Calculation of Time Periods. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, in computing any period of time described in this Agreement, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless such last day is not a Business Day, in which event the period shall run until the next day which is a Business Day.

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

THIS CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the              day of                 , 20     between                      as Reviewer (the “Reviewer”) a                     , with an address at                          and                      (the “Company”), having an address at c/o TA Realty, LLC, 28 State Street, 10th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02019.

RECITALS

The Company has agreed to permit the Reviewer to review certain proprietary information pertaining to the real estate identified in Schedule A annexed hereto (the “Asset”) for the sole purpose of allowing Reviewer to determine whether Reviewer wishes to make an offer to purchase the Asset (“Transaction”). Reviewer agrees that the information may be used for no other purpose.

In connection therewith, the Company has agreed to permit the Reviewer to review and inspect certain non-public documents, files and other information relating to the Asset and/or the Transaction, which information (the “Evaluation Material”) may include economic, commercial, marketing and financial information that is confidential and/or proprietary in nature. Therefore, the Company has required the Reviewer to execute and deliver this Agreement as a condition to any right to review and inspect the information. Evaluation Material includes all information regarding the Asset and/or Transaction disclosed by or on behalf of the Company other than information that (i) at the time of disclosure or thereafter is available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement; (ii) is already in Reviewer’s possession or becomes available to Reviewer on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Company, provided that such source is not bound by an obligation of confidentiality to Company; or (iii) has been independently developed by Reviewing Party without violation of this Agreement.

In consideration of being granted the opportunity to review and inspect the Evaluation Material, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

Section 1. Purpose. The Reviewer agrees that its review and inspection of the Evaluation Material shall be solely to conduct due diligence not as an agent, representative or broker of any undisclosed party, other than Reviewer’s investment advisory clients.

Section 2. Non-Disclosure and Use of Evaluation Material.

(a) The Reviewer agrees that, except as set forth below, all Evaluation Material shall be used by the Reviewer solely for the purpose stated above. The Reviewer further agrees not to disclose any of the Evaluation Material, to any third party other than its Representatives (as defined below), without the prior written consent of the Company.


(b) Any of the Evaluation Material that is required to be disclosed by law or by regulatory or judicial process may be disclosed without the Reviewer being in breach of its obligations under this Agreement. The Reviewer will provide the Company written notice at the address provided herein (to the extent not prohibited by law) so as to enable the Company, at its sole expense to take action to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy to ensure confidential treatment of the Evaluation Material. The Reviewer agrees to furnish only that portion of the Evaluation Material as is legally required and agrees to cooperate with the Company on a reasonable basis in its efforts to obtain a protective order.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Reviewer may disclose the Evaluation Material to its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, lenders, accountants, investors, financial advisors and affiliates (collectively, “Representatives”) who need to know such information for purposes of evaluating the potential purchase transaction, it being agreed that Reviewer shall make each such Representative aware of the confidential nature of the Evaluation Material and shall require each such Representative to treat such Evaluation Material confidentially in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 3. Review of Evaluation Material. The Evaluation Material will be made available for review by Representatives of the Reviewer at a location and time and in a manner determined by the Company.

Section 4. Return or Destruction of Evaluation Material. Upon written demand by the Company or upon termination of the Agreement, the Reviewer agrees to promptly destroy the Evaluation Material previously delivered to Reviewer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Reviewer may retain one copy of the Evaluation Material if required by law, regulation or mandated by prudent corporate policy, and will continue to treat it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Furthermore with regard to information in electronic form which is difficult to extract, Reviewer will retain such information and continue to treat it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. All of the Reviewer’s obligations hereunder and all of the Company’s rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any retained information shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 5. Reliance on Third Party Engineering and Environmental Reports and Other Evaluation Material.

(a) The Reviewer acknowledges and agrees that the Company makes no warranties or representations, whether express or implied, in fact or in law, with respect to the content, accuracy or completeness of financial statements, documents pertaining to the real property and improvements on the Asset and any of the Evaluation Material, unless expressly set forth in a separate agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided therein, all Evaluation Material, including, without limitation, the engineering and environmental reports of third party engineering and environmental firms, has been prepared for use solely and exclusively by the Company or the Company’s predecessors in interest. Such reports and other Evaluation Material


are provided for information purposes only, and the Reviewer hereby agrees that such reports and other Evaluation Material shall not be relied upon as indicators of the value of the Asset. The Company has not directed the manner or method any such firm or other person utilized in performing its work or producing its report or other Evaluation Material, and the Reviewer shall make its own independent determination as to the adequacy or correctness thereof or the assumptions used and conclusions reached therein. The Reviewer specifically acknowledges that the engineering and environmental consultant industries may not be regulated and that neither the scope of any such work nor any such report may satisfy various governmental requirements or identify all possible engineering or environmental issues or concerns. The Reviewer also acknowledges that conditions at any particular portion of the Asset and the surrounding area may have changed since such reports were performed.

(b) The Reviewer shall not have the right to rely upon, and hereby expressly agrees not to rely upon, the conclusions or other data set forth in any reports or any other Evaluation Material and shall have no recourse against the Company or its shareholders, partners, members, officers, trustees, employees, agents, advisors, counsel or other representatives, including the preparers of such reports or other Evaluation Material, in the event of any errors therein or omissions therefrom or for any other reason, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties hereto in a separate written agreement. The Company shall not (i) have any obligation or responsibility whatsoever, or (ii) make any representation or warranty or assume any duty or obligation, for the adequacy, completeness, accuracy, form or content of the scope of any work or any such report or other Evaluation Material, the existence or non-existence of any facts related thereto, the performance or quality of any work performed or the absence of defects therefrom, or the financial condition or professional qualifications of or the reporting thereof by any such firm or other person, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties hereto in a separate written agreement. Only those representations and warranties that may be made by the Company in the definitive documentation regarding the Transaction contemplated hereby shall have any legal effect. The Company’s acceptance, review or use of any such report or other Evaluation Material shall not constitute (i) an approval of any such report or other Evaluation Material, (ii) a waiver of any of its rights under any agreements it has relating to environmental matters, or (iii) a release of any person of its obligations under any agreements it has relating to environmental matters.

(c) The Reviewer’s decision to purchase or not to purchase the Asset is and will be based on the Reviewer’s independent evaluation of the Asset. The Reviewer is experienced in evaluating, owning and holding commercial real estate in the nature of the Asset. The Reviewer is familiar with the risks associated with commercial real estate sale transactions.

(d) The Company agrees not to claim any conflict of interest solely by reason of any such engineering or environmental firms whose work is part of the Evaluation Material, discussing its report with the Reviewer or the Reviewer utilizing any such firm in its investigation of the Asset, provided that the Reviewer shall be solely responsible for any associated costs and expenses. If the Reviewer utilizes any such firm, the Reviewer acknowledges and agrees that it has selected such firm on the basis of independent information and has not relied upon or received any recommendation from the Company and that such firm and the Reviewer shall be responsible for determining the appropriate level or inquiry and scope of services to be provided to the Reviewer, and such firm shall conduct such services


independent of the services conducted for the Company. Although such firm may utilize records it utilized on behalf of the Company, the Reviewer and such firm shall be solely responsible for determining the need to update or further research such records, without reliance on the Company. Reviewer shall promptly provide to the Company (without recourse or cost to, nor any representation or warranty by, Reviewer) a copy of all final, non-confidential engineering or environmental reports, provided the Company signs a non-reliance letter if requested by Reviewer and the Company agrees that any such engineering or environmental report shall not be distributed to any third party during the period that the Reviewer is evaluating the Evaluation Material or any time thereafter, if Reviewer acquires the Asset.

Section 6. Property Inspection. The Reviewer agrees that without written consent from the Company, the Reviewer will not seek to gain access to any non-public areas of the Asset, or to any books and records of the Asset other than those made available by the Company. The Reviewer agrees not to communicate with any tenant, property manager, engineer, or other person having rights and/or responsibilities with respect to the Asset or any of the Evaluation Material without prior written notice to the Company, and permitting the Company to have a representative present during such communications.

Section 7. Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (a) twelve (12) months from the date hereof, or (b) the sale, if any, of the Asset to the Reviewer or the Reviewer’s affiliate or subsidiary or permitted assignee under any purchase and sale agreement for the Asset, in which case this Agreement shall be attached as an exhibit to the purchase and sale agreement between the Company and the Reviewer or the Reviewer’s permitted affiliate or subsidiary.

Section 8. Remedies. In the event the Reviewer or any of its Representatives fails in any respect to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the Reviewer shall be liable to the Company for such breach, and the Company shall be entitled to exercise any right, power or remedy available to the Company at law or in equity for such breach. Such remedies may include, without limitation, the right to sue for specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief and/or damages. No forbearance, failure or delay in exercising any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof.

Section 9. Applicable Law. This Agreement is governed by and will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles.

Section 10. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement (“Notices”) must be in writing and must be sent by (i) personal delivery, (ii) certified mail, return receipt requested, (iii) for next day delivery by nationally recognized overnight delivery service that provides evidence of the date of delivery with all charges prepaid, or (iv) electronic mail, in any case with all charges prepaid, addressed to the appropriate party at its address indicated in this Agreement. The Reviewer or the Company each may change from time to time the address to which Notices must be sent, by Notice given in accordance with this Section. All Notices given in accordance with this Section will be deemed to have been received three (3) Business Days after having been deposited in any mail depository regularly maintained


by the United States Postal Service, if sent by certified mail, on the date delivered if by personal delivery or electronic mail or one (1) Business Day after having been deposited with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, if sent by overnight delivery, or on the date delivery is refused, as indicated on the return receipt or the delivery records of the delivery service, as applicable. Notices given by counsel to a party in accordance with the above shall be deemed given by such party.

Section 11. Unenforceable Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be illegal or unenforceable or would operate to invalidate this Agreement, then the provision will be deemed to be expunged, and this Agreement will be construed as though the provision was not contained herein and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

Section 12. Entire Agreement. Any agreements between the parties relating to the matters described herein are contained in this Agreement, which contains the complete and exclusive statement of the agreements between the Company and Reviewer, except as the Company and Reviewer may later agree in writing to amend this Agreement.

Section 13. No Oral Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, waived or terminated orally or by any act or omission made individually by the Company or Reviewer but may be amended, waived or terminated only by a written document signed by the party against whom enforcement of the amendment, waiver or termination is sought.

Section 14. No Discussion. Reviewer shall not discuss bid pricing with any other party other than its Representatives, or reveal to any party other than its Representatives the amount of Reviewer’s bid.

Section 15. E-mail or PDF Signatures. To facilitate execution of this Agreement, Reviewer may provide its signature by electronic mail (e-mail), or portable document format (PDF) of the signature page to Company, which shall be effective as an original signature page for all purposes. Delivery of the execution original to the Agreement or any e-mail signature or PDF thereof may be given on behalf of Reviewer by the attorney of Reviewer.

Section 16. No Agreement of Sale. Nothing contained herein or otherwise shall obligate the Company to convey, or the Reviewer to acquire, the Asset, it being understood that such obligation shall only arise, if at all, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement negotiated and executed by the Company and Reviewer on terms acceptable to both, in each of their sole and absolute discretion.
