|
(a) Capitalization. The Post-Closing Organizational Chart is true, correct and complete in all respects. Each Purchased Entity has been duly organized, is validly existing, and is in good standing as a Delaware limited liability company. Each Purchased Entity is in good standing and is qualified to do business in the state in which such Purchased Entity’s Designated Properties are located. Seller Holdco is the direct holder of 100% of the membership interests (and beneficial interests) in each Purchased Entity other than GPT Canton Subowner LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LTF Michigan Subowner”), free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, claims or liabilities of any kind or nature. GPT LF ML 1 Owner LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Seller Holdco (“LTF Michigan Owner”), is the direct holder of 100% of the membership interests and (beneficial interests) in LTF Michigan Subowner, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, claims or liabilities of any kind or nature. There are no membership interests in any of the Purchased Entities other than the interests directly owned by Seller Holdco and, with respect to LTF Michigan Subowner, interests directly owned by LTF Michigan Owner and there has been no amendment or other modification to the operating agreement of such Purchased Entity except as disclosed to Purchaser, nor has there been any revocation or termination of the same. No Purchased Entity owns, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or other ownership interests in any person or entity other than the ownership interests in LTF Michigan Subowner directly owned by LTF Michigan Owner. There are no outstanding options, warrants, calls, rights, commitments or agreements obligating LTF, Seller Holdco or any Purchased Entity to issue, deliver or sell any membership interests or other equity interests or beneficial interests in a Purchased Entity, and there are no outstanding securities or other rights which are convertible or exchangeable into any shares, membership interests or other equity interests or beneficial interests in such Purchased Entity. None of LTF, Seller Holdco nor any such Purchased Entity is subject to any obligation to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire or to register any shares, membership interests or any other equity interest or beneficial interest in such Purchased Entity. None of LTF, Seller Holdco nor LTF Michigan Owner is a party to any equity holder, member, operating, voting or similar arrangements with respect to any shares, membership interests or any other equity interests or beneficial interests in a Purchased Entity and has not granted a proxy, power of attorney or other authority with respect to any shares, membership interests or any other equity of any Purchased Entity to any other person or entity.
4 First Amendment to PSA (Gramercy) |
No action has been taken to affect a dissolution or in contemplation of a dissolution of such Purchased Entity. None of LTF, Seller Holdco nor LTF Michigan Owner has committed or obligated itself in any manner whatsoever to sell the Purchased Interests to any party other than Purchaser, including any interests in the Purchased Entity, or the Designated Properties owned by the Purchased Entity. None of the membership interests of the Purchased Entities have been certificated and no Purchased Entity has opted into Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code. True, complete, and correct copies of the organizational documents of the Purchased Entities have been delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Escrow Date. The Purchased Interests were issued in compliance with the organizational documents of the Purchased Entities and were not issued (i) subject to any preemptive, subscription, conversion or similar rights of any person or (ii) in violation of any agreement or applicable law (including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws). |
|
(b) Ownership of Properties. The only assets held by any of the Purchased Entities are (i) the Designated Properties set forth opposite such Purchased Entity’s name on Schedule 1.1 attached hereto, which Purchased Entity solely owns the Designated Property set forth opposite such Purchased Entity’s name on Schedule 1.1 and (ii) with respect to LTF Michigan Owner, the membership interests in LTF Michigan Subowner. No Purchased Entity has engaged in any business other than the business of directly owning its Designated Properties other than, with respect to LTF Michigan Owner, the equity of LTF Michigan Subowner. |
|
(c) Litigation and Bankruptcy. There is no action, suit, claim, complaint, demand, administrative or other proceeding, charge, grievance, dispute, assertion, arbitration or investigation pending or threatened in writing against any Purchased Entity. There are no pending Bankruptcy proceedings involving any Purchased Entity in which such Purchased Entity is a debtor. Prior to the date hereof, no Purchased Entity has been a debtor under any type of Bankruptcy proceeding. No Purchased Entity has received, during the last 12 months, any court filing, formal written charge or complaint or written request for arbitration, mediation, administrative hearing or similar legal or quasi-legal proceeding with respect to the Purchased Entity, its Designated Properties, or the operation of the Purchased Entity’s business, which has not been resolved, settled or dismissed with prejudice. No injunction, decree, order, writ or judgment is outstanding with respect to any Purchased Entity or the membership interests of any Purchased Entity and to Seller’s actual knowledge, no event has occurred or circumstance exists that could give rise to or serve as a basis for the commencing of any such action. |
|
(d) Obligations. None of Seller, LTF, Seller Holdco nor LTF Michigan Owner has entered into any contracts, subcontracts or agreements of any kind affecting the Purchased Interests which will be binding upon Purchaser or any Purchased Entity after the Closing, other than the Leases. No Purchased Entity is a party to, or restricted by any provisions within, any credit agreement, loan, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, permit, concession, franchise, license, other contract, agreement or instrument regarding the assignment of the interests in the Purchased Entity. At Closing, no Purchased Entity shall have any Pre-Existing Liabilities other than those that were contemplated if the Designated Properties were conveyed to Purchaser by Deed as originally contemplated by the Agreement. |
|
(e) Employees. No Purchased Entity (or any predecessor) has or has ever had any employees. |
5
First Amendment to PSA (Gramercy)

(f) No Financial Statements. No Purchased Entity maintains its own financial statements. |
|
(g) Directors and Officers. No Purchased Entity (or any predecessor) has or has ever had any directors, officers or managers. |
|
(h) Books and Records. The books and records of each of the Purchased Entities, true, correct and complete copies of which shall be delivered to Purchaser at Closing have been maintained to reflect their assets and liabilities and in accordance with commercially accepted business practices, including the maintenance of a system of internal controls adequate for the size, operations and business of the Purchased Entities to provide reasonable assurances that (a) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and (b) accounts, notes and other receivables and inventory are recorded accurately. |
|
(i) Tax Matters. |
|
(i) Each Purchased Entity has timely filed with the appropriate governmental authority all federal, state, local and non-U.S. Tax Returns required to be filed by or on behalf of such Purchased Entity, taking into account any extensions of time within which to file such Tax Returns permitted by law, and all such Tax Returns were complete and correct in all respects. Each Purchased Entity has duly paid (or there has been paid on their behalf) all Taxes (as defined below) required to be paid by it, whether or not shown on any Tax Return. No Purchased Entity currently is the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. No claim has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where any Purchased Entity does not file Tax Returns that such Purchased Entity is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. “Tax Return” or “Tax Returns” means any return, declaration, report, claim for refund or information return or statement relating to Taxes, including any schedule or attachment thereto, and including any amendment thereof, required to be filed with a Tax Authority. “Tax Authority” means any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the assessment, determination, collection or other imposition of Taxes. |
|
(ii) There are no audits, examinations or investigations by any governmental authority or other proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened with regard to any Taxes or Tax Returns of any Purchased Entity; (ii) no deficiency for Taxes of any Purchased Entity has been claimed, proposed or assessed in writing or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened, by any Tax Authority, which deficiency has not yet been settled except for such deficiencies which are being contested in good faith; (iii) no Purchased Entity has waived any statute of limitations with respect to the assessment of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect to any Tax assessment or deficiency for any open tax year; and (iv) no Purchased Entity has entered into any “closing agreement” as described in Section 7121 of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign income tax law). The Seller has made available to Purchaser true and correct copies of any Tax Returns (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amended Tax Returns), if any, filed by or on behalf of any Purchased Entity at any time since it became directly or indirectly owned by the Seller. |
6
First Amendment to PSA (Gramercy)
|
(iii) To the extent applicable, each Purchased Entity has complied, in all material respects, with all applicable Laws relating to the payment and withholding of Taxes (including withholding of Taxes pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446, 1471-1474 and 3402 of the Code or similar provisions under any state, local and foreign laws) and have duly and timely withheld and, in each case, have paid over to the appropriate taxing authorities all material amounts required to be so withheld and paid over on or prior to the due date thereof under all applicable laws, including all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid by it in connection with amounts paid or owing to any independent contractor, creditor, member or any third party. |
|
(iv) There are no liens for Taxes upon any property or assets of any Purchased Entity except liens for Taxes not yet delinquent or that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. |
|
(v) There are no Tax allocation or sharing agreements or similar arrangements with respect to or involving any Purchased Entity, and after the Closing Date no Purchased Entity shall be bound by any such Tax allocation agreements or similar arrangements or have any liability thereunder for amounts due in respect of periods prior to the Closing Date. |
|
(vi) No Purchased Entity has requested, has received or is subject to any written ruling of a governmental authority or has entered into any written agreement with a governmental authority with respect to any Taxes. |
|
(vii) No Purchased Entity (i) has been a member of an affiliated, combined or consolidated group filing a consolidated federal income Tax, (ii) has become a successor to any entity by way of merger, liquidation or other transaction, or (iii) has any liability for the Taxes of any person under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise. |
|
(viii) No written power of attorney that has been granted by any Purchased Entity currently is in force with respect to any matter relating to Taxes. |
|
(ix) At all times since its formation, each Purchased Entity is and has been properly classified for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes as “disregarded as an entity separate from its owner,” Seller, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-2(c)(2)(i). |
|
(x) No Purchased Entity will be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any item of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date as a result of any: (A) change in method of accounting for a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date; (B) use of an improper method of accounting for a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date; (C) “closing agreement” as described in (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. income Tax law) executed on or prior to the Closing Date; (D) intercompany transaction or excess loss account described in Treasury Regulations under Code §1502 (or any

|
(xi) Each Purchased Entity did at no time and does not own any partnership interests, limited liability company interests, stocks, notes or other securities within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 except for interests in other Purchased Entities. |

If any Purchased Entity has entered into any transaction such that, if the treatment claimed by it were to be disallowed, the transaction would constitute a substantial understatement of federal income Tax within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code, then there is substantial authority for the federal tax treatment of such transaction within the meaning of Section 6662(d) of the Code. |
(j)ERISA. None of the Purchased Entities hold the “plan assets” of any “benefit plan investor” as defined by Section 3(42) of ERISA.”
