created, which reads as follows:
|
|
9.9
|
Forced
Sale.
|
(a) Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time
following the Liquidity Date, each Member (such Member being the “Triggering Member”)
shall have the right to require the marketing and sale of any Property or both
Properties (the "Forced Sale
Procedure") and to exclusively control such sale and marketing without
the approval of the Responding Member (as defined below), subject to the
following provisions of this Section 9.9, provided that the Responding
Member and its Affiliates shall reasonably cooperate to effect such marketing
and sale in a timely manner.
(b) The
Triggering Member may trigger the Forced Sale Procedure with respect to all (but
not less than all) of any Property or both Properties (the “Subject Property”) by
delivering to the other Member (the "Responding Member") a
notice (the "Forced
Sale Notice") identifying one or both of the Properties as the Subject
Property and indicating that the Triggering Member wishes to cause a sale of the
Subject Property.
(c) Following
the delivery of the Forced Sale Notice, the Triggering Member shall, on a
commercially reasonable basis, commence the marketing and sale of the Subject
Property for and on behalf of the Company; provided that each Member and
its Affiliates shall have a reasonable opportunity to bid to be a purchaser. The
Triggering Member shall deliver to the Members copies of all of the offers that
it receives in respect of the Subject Property and each Member shall have the
right to submit additional bids in response thereto.
(d) If
the Forced Sale Procedure does not result in a sale of the Subject Property on
or before the one hundred twentieth (120th) day immediately following the
delivery of the Forced Sale Notice (the “Termination Date”),
the Forced Sale Procedure and the rights of the Triggering Member to market and
sell the Subject Property pursuant to the Forced Sale Notice shall terminate on
the Termination Date, and (i) the Responding
Member shall thereafter have the right to invoke the Forced Sale Procedure with
respect to the Subject Property or any other Property and (ii) the Triggering Member
shall not have the right to invoke the Forced Sale Procedure or issue a Forced
Sale Notice with respect to any Property for a period of one year following the
Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Triggering Member fails to complete a sale of the
Subject Property as a result of the
failure of the Responding Member to reasonably cooperate in the sale and
marketing of the Subject Property in accordance with this Section 9.9, and such
failure continues for a period of ten (10) days following written notice of such
failure (which notice shall describe the matters for which cooperation is needed
in reasonable detail and state that failure to cooperate may result in an
extension of the Termination Date pursuant to this paragraph), the Termination
Date may be extended for an additional period of sixty (60) days by written
notice given by the Triggering Member with reasonable promptness
thereafter.
-4-
(e) It
shall be a condition of any sale pursuant to the Forced Sale Procedure
that:
(i) The
sale provides for payment of the purchase price in cash;
(ii) Unless
approved by all Members, the Triggering Member may only accept on behalf of the
Company an offer that is a Qualifying Offer (as defined below), and if more than
one Qualifying Offers is received, the Qualifying Offer that provides for the
highest purchase price for the Subject Property;
(iii) As
used herein, “Qualifying Offer”
means a duly executed, binding, written offer by a Member or a financially
qualified, bona fide third party, for the purchase of the Subject Property from
each Subsidiary that owns title to the Subject Property (collectively, the
“Subject
Subsidiary”) for an all-cash purchase price, and on an “as is, with all
faults” basis, and otherwise containing terms, conditions, representations,
warranties and indemnities binding on the Subject Subsidiary as seller of the
Subject Property that are commercially reasonable in the United States real
estate market for agreements for the purchase and sale of shopping centers
similar in size and complexity to the Subject Property, provided, however,
that a Qualifying Offer shall not contain any term, covenant, representation,
warranty, indemnification, guarantee or other provision that would impose any
liability or obligation on the Company, the Manager or the Members.
(iv) The
property manager in respect of the Subject Property offers the purchaser of the
Property (including the Class A Member or Class B Member and/or any of their
respective Affiliates if it is the purchaser), at such purchaser's option,
either (i) to resign as the property manager of the Subject Property at the time
of closing of title without payment of any penalty or other amount (other than
amounts accruing with respect to the property manager's services prior to the
date of the property manager's resignation); provided that the property
manager must be given not less than thirty (30) days notice of the date of
closing by such purchaser or the Triggering Member that it must resign on that
date (or, if the date of closing is not reasonably ascertainable thirty (30)
days prior to closing, such shorter time period, not less than ten(10) days, as
is reasonable under the circumstances) which notice may be revoked in the event
that the closing does not occur, or (ii) to remain as property manager of the
Subject Property on terms to be reasonably agreed upon between the property
manager and the purchaser for an appropriate transition period.
