2. Purchase and Sale of the
Property. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, Seller agrees to sell to Buyer and Buyer agrees to purchase from
Seller the Property.
3. Purchase
Price and Payment.
(a) The
purchase price (“Purchase
Price”) to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the Property is the aggregate
of (i) the Base Purchase Price, plus (ii) Buyer’s Closing Costs (as defined in
Section 4 of this Agreement below.
(b) All
amounts payable by Buyer to Seller under this Agreement, after adjustment for
assumption of the Loan, unless otherwise specified, shall be paid by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the Escrow Agent on the Closing
Date.
4. Proration of Expenses
and Payment of Costs and Recording Fees.
(a) All
real estate taxes, water and sewer use charges, and any other charges and
assessments constituting a lien on the Property (collectively “Taxes and
Assessments”) shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as
follows:
(i) Seller
shall be responsible for that portion of the Taxes and Assessments equal to (x)
the total of the Taxes and Assessments due and payable during the calendar year
in which the Closing occurs, multiplied by (y) a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the number of days in such calendar year prior
to the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be 365; and
4
(ii) Buyer
shall be responsible for that portion of the Taxes and Assessments equal to (x)
the total such taxes due and payable during the calendar year in which the
Closing occurs, multiplied by (y) a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the number of days in such calendar year
occurring on and subsequent to the Closing Date, and the denominator of which
shall be 365.
(b) All
rents (including operating expense and real estate tax contributions or
reimbursements and similar charges (collectively, “Tenant
Pass-Throughs”)), credits, security deposits and set-offs due or required
to be paid under or by reason of the Leases shall be adjusted pro-rata by
appropriate credit to the Seller or Buyer (as the case may be) on the Closing
Date. If, at the Closing Date, any Tenant is in arrears in the
payment of rents, Seller will disclose the same to Buyer in writing or on the
Rent Roll and such amounts shall not be adjusted on the Closing
Date. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall use Seller’s current
business practices to collect such arrearages. Buyer shall use
reasonable efforts to collect any such arrearages after the Closing Date, and
Buyer shall turn over to Seller the arrearages so collected, less the reasonable
cost of collection thereof, if any; provided, however, Buyer shall only be
obligated to do so for a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing
Date. After such ninety (90) day period, Seller may seek to collect
the arrearages by legal action. All rents collected by Buyer after
the Closing Date (except for amounts specifically billed and paid as end of year
reconciliation payments for Tenant Pass-Throughs, which shall be separately
accounted for and allocated, pro rata, between Seller and Buyer as their
interest may appear) shall be first applied to rents payable after the Closing
Date and only the excess thereof shall be paid over to Seller on account of the
arrearages. To the extent that items to be apportioned hereunder may
be required to be paid directly by a Tenant under its Lease,
same shall not be apportioned, provided, however, that such items shall have
been paid by such Tenant currently through the month including the Closing
Date. In addition, Seller shall (i) account to and turn over to Buyer
any and all security deposits paid by existing Tenants (“Tenant Security
Deposits”), or (ii) provide Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price in
the amount of the Tenant Security Deposits. The provisions of this
subparagraph (b) shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Deed and the
Assignments (each, as defined below), and shall survive the expiration of this
Agreement.
(c) Accrued
payments of debt service on account of the Loan shall be prorated as of the date
immediately preceding the Closing Date together with a credit or debit for all
escrows and reserves held by Lender or to be held by Lender pursuant to the
Loan.
(d) Seller
shall pay or be charged with the following costs and expenses in connection with
this transaction which costs shall be referred to as “Seller’s
Closing Costs”:
(i)
Any and all state and local transfer taxes on the sale and transfer of the
Property shall be paid by Seller;
(ii) All
costs and expenses incurred by Lender or any other third party (other than Buyer
or any assignee of Buyer permitted under this Agreement) in connection with the
Loan Assumption (as defined herein) shall be paid by the Seller, including any
assumption fee or legal costs associated therewith, that are not paid by the
Lender provided, however, in the event
the Seller has the opportunity to pay a commercially reasonable fee to Lender to
accelerate the Loan Assumption approval process (the “Acceleration
Fee”), Seller agrees to pay the Acceleration Fee in an amount not to
exceed Four Thousand Dollars and No/00 ($4,000) and Buyer shall reimburse Seller
for any such Acceleration Fee.
5
(iii) Broker’s
commission payments (for both leasing and sales commissions earned), in
accordance with Section 23 of this Agreement; and
(iv) Any
costs incurred in connection with the release of exceptions to title that are
not “Permitted Exceptions” (as defined herein), including, but not limited to,
prepayment penalty fees and recording fees for documents providing for the
release of the Property from the such exceptions.
Seller’s
Closing Costs shall be capitalized and are deemed to be included in the Base
Purchase Price for the Property.
(e) Buyer
shall pay or be charged with the following costs and expenses in connection with
this transaction, which costs shall be referred to as “Buyer’s
Closing Costs”:
(i) 100%
of all Owner’s Title Insurance policy premiums, including any endorsements
issued in connection with such policies; and
(ii) Buyer
shall pay for the cost of its own survey, Phase 1 environmental study and due
diligence investigations.
Buyer’s
Closing Costs shall be paid or reimbursed by Seller and shall be added to the
Base Purchase Price to establish the Purchase Price for the Property, and Buyer
shall pay for any and all costs resulting from such increase in Purchase Price,
including, without limitation, any additional transfer taxes paid by Seller on
account thereof, to the effect that Seller’s payment of Buyer Closing Costs is
economically neutral to Seller.
(f)
Each party shall pay its own legal fees incidental to the negotiation, execution
and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby.
(g) Fuel
oil shall be measured the day prior to the Closing Date and shall be prorated
between Buyer and Seller as of the Closing Date.
(h) Salaries,
payroll taxes and fringe benefits payable to employees.

title, conditions, easements, assessments, restrictions, and encumbrances except
Permitted Exceptions.

6. Examination of

follows:
(a) Buyer
shall order a title commitment (the “Title
Commitment”) from Escrow Agent promptly after the date
hereof. All matters shown in the Title Commitment with respect to
which Buyer fails to object prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period
shall be deemed “Permitted
Exceptions”; provided, however, Permitted Exceptions shall not include
and Seller shall be obligated to cure or remove any mechanic’s lien or any
monetary lien or any deeds of trust, mortgages, or other loan documents secured
by the Property, except for taxes and special assessments not yet due and
payable, or any mortgage and related documents executed in connection with the
Loan Assumption. If any matter not revealed in the Title Commitment
is discovered by Buyer or by the Escrow Agent and is added to the Title
Commitment by the Escrow Agent at or prior to Closing, Buyer shall have until
the earlier of (i) ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of the updated, revised
Title Commitment showing the new title exception, together with a legible copy
of any such new matter, or (ii) the Closing Date, to provide Seller with written
notice of its objection to any such new title exception (an “Objection”). If
Seller does not, within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of an Objection,
remove or cure such Objection, Buyer may terminate this Agreement, in which case
the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer. In addition, if such
Objection was caused by an act of Seller or by reason of Seller’s refusal to act
Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all out of pocket costs and expenses incurred
hereunder and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder, except
as otherwise expressly set forth herein.
(b) Within
the time period set forth in Section 1(e), Seller shall have provided to Buyer

which affect the Property; (x) a copy of any management agreement relating to
the management of the Property;and (xi) copies of the material loan documents
for the Loan (collectively, the “Due
Diligence Materials”). To the extent in Seller’s possession,
Seller shall deliver any other documents relating to the Property reasonably
requested by Buyer within three (3) business days following such
request. Additionally, during the term of this Agreement, Buyer, its
agents and designees, shall have the right to enter the Property for the
purposes of inspecting the Property, and making surveys, environmental and
appraisal inspections, mechanical and structural engineering studies; provided,
however, that such activities by or on behalf of Buyer on the Property shall not
damage the Property nor interfere with the conduct of business by any Tenant
under the Leases; and provided further, however, that Buyer shall indemnify and
hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims or damages to the
extent resulting from the activities of Buyer on the Property. Buyer
shall repair any and all damage caused, in whole or in part, by Buyer and return
the Property to its condition prior to such damage, which obligation shall
survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement. Buyer shall
deliver to Seller an insurance policy which shall contain a contractual
indemnity provision covering such indemnity. Seller shall reasonably
cooperate with the efforts of Buyer and Buyer’s representatives to inspect the
Property. After the Effective
Date, Buyer shall be permitted to speak and/or meet with any two (2) Tenants
whose leases expire in 2011 in connection with Buyer’s due diligence, provided
that Seller shall have the right, either in person or by his designee, to
accompany Buyer at all times at any such meeting and participate in any
conference calls between Buyer and such Tenants Buyer shall give
Seller reasonable written notice (which in any event shall not be less than two
(2) business days) before entering the Property, and Seller may have a
representative present during any and all examinations, inspections and/or
studies on the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may not
conduct a Phase 2 environmental inspection without the prior consent of Seller,
which may be withheld or granted in Seller’s sole discretion. Buyer
shall have the unconditional right, for any reason or no reason, to terminate
this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to the
expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which event this Agreement shall
become null and void, Buyer shall receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money, and all
rights, liabilities and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall
expire, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. If Buyer does
not deliver to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period a
written notice stating that it waives its right to terminate this Agreement,
then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement, for any
reason or no reason at all.

shall use good faith efforts to obtain an estoppel certificate from each Tenant
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 (the
“Tenant

Seller Estoppel in substantially the form attached as Exhibit F-2 (a “Seller
Estoppel”) for such missing Tenant Estoppel Certificates relating to its
premises, provided that Buyer shall not be required to accept a Seller Estoppel
for more than 25% of the Tenants. If Seller delivers a Seller
Estoppel, and if thereafter a Tenant Estoppel Certificate is received from the
Tenant under the Lease covered by such Seller Estoppel, then such Tenant
Estoppel Certificate shall be substituted for the applicable Seller Estoppel and
Seller shall have no further liability thereunder, provided that the Tenant
Estoppel Certificate contains no material changes from the Seller Estoppel, or
if materially changed, is otherwise acceptable to Buyer. The
provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.
7. Risk of
Loss/Condemnation. Upon an occurrence of a casualty,
condemnation or taking, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of
same. Until Closing, the risk of loss or damage to the Property,
except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be borne by
Seller. In the event all or any portion of the Property is damaged in
any casualty or condemned or taken (or notice of any condemnation or taking is
issued) so that: (a) any Tenant has a right of termination or
abatement of rent under the Leases, or (b) with respect to any casualty, if the
cost to repair such casualty would exceed $500,000, or (c) with respect to any
condemnation, any Improvements or access to the Property or more than five
percent (5%) of the Property is (or will be) condemned or taken, then, Buyer may
elect to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of
such termination to Seller within ten (10) business days after Buyer’s receipt
of notice of such condemnation, taking or damage, upon which termination the
Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer and neither party hereto shall have any
further rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except as
otherwise expressly set forth herein. With respect to any
condemnation or taking (of any notice thereof), if Buyer does not elect to
cancel this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase
Price and Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing the rights of Seller to
the awards, if any, for the condemnation or taking, and Buyer shall be entitled
to receive and keep all such awards (net of all reasonable third party costs and
expenses expended or incurred by Seller in order to obtain such
proceeds). With respect to a casualty, if Buyer does not elect to
terminate this Agreement or does not have the right to terminate this Agreement
as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Seller shall
assign to Buyer at the Closing the rights of Seller to the proceeds under
Seller’s insurance policies covering such Property with respect to such damage
or destruction (or pay to Buyer any such proceeds received prior to Closing) and
pay to Buyer the amount of any deductible with respect thereto, and
Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep any monies received from such
insurance policies.

8. Xxxxxxx Money
Disbursement. The Xxxxxxx Money shall be held by Escrow Agent,
in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following
provisions:
(a) Escrow
Agent shall invest the Xxxxxxx Money in a money market account with Citizens
Bank, and shall promptly provide Buyer and Seller with confirmation of the
investments made.
(b) If
the Closing occurs, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to, or upon the
instructions of, Seller and Buyer on the Closing Date to be applied as part
payment of the Purchase Price. If for any reason the Closing does not
occur, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to Seller or Buyer only upon
receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following
provisions of this clause (b). Subject to the last sentence of this
clause (b), if for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes
a written demand (the “Demand”) upon Escrow Agent for payment of the Xxxxxxx
Money, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of the Demand
within one business day after receipt of the Demand. If Escrow Agent
does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed
payment within five (5) business days after the giving of such notice by Escrow
Agent, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make the payment set forth in the
Demand. If Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within
such period, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise
directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment
of a court. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause
(b) if Buyer delivers a notice to Escrow Agent stating that Buyer has terminated
this Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then
Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Xxxxxxx Money to Buyer without the
necessity of delivering any notice to, or receiving any notice from
Seller.
(c) The
parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their
request and for their convenience, that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be
the agent of either of the parties, and that Escrow Agent shall not be liable to
either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in
good faith, and not in disregard of this
Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any liabilities
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by
Seller or Buyer resulting from Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting Escrow
Agent scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Buyer shall jointly
and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all
liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements)
incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder,
except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by Escrow Agent in bad
faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of
Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in the place
indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that Escrow Agent has
received and shall hold the Xxxxxxx Money in escrow, and shall disburse the
Xxxxxxx Money pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.

9. Default
(a) In
the event that Seller is ready, willing and able to close in accordance with the
terms and provisions hereof, and Buyer defaults in the performance of any of its
obligations under this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to, as its sole and
exclusive remedy to either: (i) if Buyer is willing to proceed to
Closing, waive such default and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms
and provisions hereof; or (ii) declare this Agreement to be terminated, and
Seller shall be entitled to immediately receive all of the Xxxxxxx Money as
liquidated damages as and for Seller’s sole remedy. Upon such
termination, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights, obligations
or liabilities hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein. Seller and Buyer agree that (a) actual damages due to Buyer’s
default hereunder would be difficult and inconvenient to ascertain and that such
amount is not a penalty and is fair and reasonable in light of all relevant
circumstances, (b) the amount specified as liquidated damages is not
disproportionate to the damages that would be suffered and the costs that would
be incurred by Seller as a result of having withdrawn the Property from the
market, and (c) Buyer desires to limit its liability under this Agreement to the
amount of the Xxxxxxx Money paid in the event Buyer fails to complete
Closing. Seller hereby waives any right to recover the balance of the
Purchase Price, or any part thereof, and the right to pursue any other remedy
permitted at law or in equity against Buyer. In no event under this
Section or otherwise shall Buyer be liable to Seller for any punitive,
speculative or consequential damages.
(b) In
the event that Seller defaults in the performance of any of its obligations
under this Agreement, Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy,
either: (i) waive any unsatisfied conditions and proceed to Closing
in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof without any abatement in the
payment of the Purchase Price; (ii) terminate this Agreement by delivering
written notice thereof to Seller no later than Closing, upon which termination
the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Buyer, Seller shall pay to Buyer all of
the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this
Agreement, which return and payment shall operate to terminate this Agreement
and release Seller and Buyer from any and all liability hereunder, except those
which are specifically stated herein to survive any termination hereof; (iii)
enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder; or
(iv) by notice to Seller given on or before the Closing Date, extend the Closing
Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days (the “Closing
Extension Period”) to permit Seller to remedy any such default, and the
“Closing Date” shall be moved to the last day of the Closing Extension Period,
AS TO WHICH DATE, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. If Buyer so extends the
Closing Date, then Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, cause said
conditions to be satisfied during the Closing Extension Period. If
Seller does not cause said conditions to be satisfied during the Closing
Extension Period, then Buyer shall have the remedies set forth in Section
9(b)(i) through (iii) above.
10
10. Closing. The
Closing shall consist of the execution and delivery of documents by Seller and
Buyer, as set forth below, and delivery by Buyer to Seller of the Purchase Price
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Seller shall deliver

herewith, Seller makes the following representations and warranties to Buyer as
of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date.
(a) Seller

laws of its state of organization, and to the extent required by law, the State
in which the Property is located. Seller has the power and authority
to execute and deliver this Agreement and all closing documents to be executed
by Seller, and to perform all of Seller’s obligations hereunder and
thereunder. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
all closing documents to be executed by Seller, nor the performance of the
obligations of Seller hereunder or thereunder will result in the violation of
any law or any provision of the organizational documents of Seller or will
conflict with any order or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality
of any nature by which Seller is bound;
(b) Except
as set forth on Schedule 11 attached hereto and made a part hereof, Seller has
not received any written notice of any current or pending litigation,
condemnation proceeding or tax appeals affecting Seller or the Property and
Seller does not have any knowledge of any proposed or pending condemnation
proceeding, pending litigation or tax appeals against Seller or the Property;
Seller has not initiated, nor is Seller participating in, any action for a
change or modification in the current subdivision, zoning or other land use
permits for the Property;
(c) Except
as set forth on Schedule 11, Seller has not entered into any contracts,
subcontracts or agreements (including agreements for any brokerage or leasing
commissions) affecting the Property which will be binding upon Buyer after the
Closing other than the Leases;
12
(d) Except
for violations cured or remedied on or before the Closing Date, Seller has not
received any written notice from (or delivered any notice to) any governmental
authority regarding any violation of any law applicable to the Property and
Seller does not have knowledge of any such violations;
(e) Intentionally
Deleted.
(f) Intentionally
Deleted.
(g) There
are no occupancy rights, leases or tenancies affecting the Property other than
the Leases or subleases identified on Exhibit I attached
hereto. Neither this Agreement nor the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby is subject to any first right of refusal or
other purchase right in favor of any other person or entity; and apart from this
Agreement, Seller has not entered into any written agreements for the purchase
or sale of the Property, or any interest therein which has not been
terminated;
(h) Intentionally
Deleted.
(i) To
Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the environmental reports previously
delivered by Seller to Buyer, no hazardous substances have been generated,
stored, released, or disposed of on or about the Property in violation of any
law, rule or regulation applicable to the Property which regulates or controls
matters relating to the environment or public health or safety (collectively,
“Environmental
Laws”). Seller has not received any written notice from (nor
delivered any notice to) any federal, state, county, municipal or other
governmental department, agency or authority concerning any petroleum product or
other hazardous substance discharge or seepage. For purposes of this
Subsection, “hazardous substances” shall mean any substance or material which is
defined or deemed to be hazardous or toxic pursuant to any Environmental
Laws. To Seller’s knowledge, there are no underground storage tanks
located on the Property; and
(j) Exhibit
H attached hereto is a true, correct and complete listing of all warranties in
effect for the Property (the “Warranties”).
The
representations and warranties of Seller in clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (g) and
(i) above shall survive Closing for a period of one (1) year.
12. Representations
by
Buyer. Buyer represents and warrants to, and covenants with,
Seller as follows:

Delaware, is authorized to consummate the transaction set forth herein and
fulfill all of its obligations hereunder and under all closing documents to be
executed by Buyer, and has all necessary power to execute and deliver this
Agreement and all closing documents to be executed by Buyer, and to perform all
of Buyer’s obligations hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement and
all closing documents to be executed by Buyer have been duly authorized by all
requisite corporate or other required action on the part of Buyer and are the
valid and legally binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable in accordance with
their respective terms. Neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and all closing documents to be executed by Buyer, nor the performance
of the obligations of Buyer hereunder or thereunder will result in the violation
of any law or any provision of the organizational documents of Buyer or will
conflict with any order or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality
of any nature by which Buyer is bound.
13
The

10 above;
(b) Except

premises demised under their respective Leases and paying full and unabated rent
under their respective Leases and no Tenant shall have assigned or sublet the
premises demised under their respective Lease;
(c) The
representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement shall have
been true when made and shall be true in all material respects at and as of the

Agreement to be performed or complied with by Seller prior to or at the
Closing;
(d) Intentionally

precedent on and as of the Closing Date or the waiver thereof by
Seller:

16. Seller
Covenants. Seller agrees that it: (a) shall
continue to operate and manage the Property in the same manner in which Seller
has previously operated and maintained the Property; (b) shall, subject to
Section 7 hereof and subject to reasonable wear and tear, maintain the Property
in the same condition as exists on the date hereof; and (c) shall
not: (i) amend any of the Leases in any manner, nor enter into any
new lease, license agreement or other occupancy agreement with respect to the
Property without the prior written consent of Buyer, which will not be
unreasonably withheld; (ii) consent to an assignment of the Leases or a sublease
of the premises demised thereunder or a termination or surrender thereof without
Buyer’s prior written consent, which, after the expiration of the Due Diligence
Period may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion; (iii) terminate any of the
Leases nor release any guarantor of or security for the Leases unless required

promptly inform Buyer in writing of any material event adversely affecting the
ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Property, whether insured or
not.
17. Performance on
Business Days. A "business day" is a day which is not a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday recognized by the Federal
Government. Furthermore, if any date upon which or by which action is
required under this Agreement is not a business day, then the date for such
action shall be extended to the first day that is after such date and is a
business day.
15
18. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire
agreement among the parties hereto and no modification of this Agreement shall
be binding unless in writing and signed by all parties
hereto. No prior agreement or understanding pertaining to the
subject matter hereof (including, without limitation, any letter of intent
executed prior to this Agreement) shall be valid or of any force or effect from
and after the date hereof.
19. Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any
person or circumstance (except with respect to the payment of the Purchase
Price), shall be invalid or unenforceable, at any time or to any extent, then
the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to persons
or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable,
shall not be affected thereby. Each provision of this Agreement shall
be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law
20. No Representations or
Warranties. Buyer hereby acknowledges, understands and agrees
that it has an opportunity to inspect the Property as set forth in Section 6
herein, and except as set forth in this Agreement, the Property shall be
conveyed at Closing to Buyer in “as-is” condition with no representation or
warranties whatsoever.
21. Applicable
Law. This Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the
State of New York.
22. Tax-Deferred
Exchange. Buyer and Seller respectively acknowledge that the
purchase and sale of the Property contemplated hereby may be part of a separate
exchange (an “Exchange”)
being made by each party pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated with respect
thereto. In the event that either party (the “Exchanging
Party”) desires to effectuate such an exchange, then the other party (the
“Non-Exchanging
Party”) agrees to cooperate fully with the Exchanging Party in order that
the Exchanging Party may effectuate such an exchange; provided, however, that
with respect to such Exchange (a) all additional costs, fees and expenses
related thereto shall be the sole responsibility of, and borne by, the
Exchanging Party; (b) the Non-Exchanging Party shall incur no additional
liability as a result of such exchange; (c) the contemplated exchange shall not
delay any of the time periods or other obligations of the Exchanging Party
hereby, and without limiting the foregoing, the scheduled date for Closing shall
not be delayed or adversely affected by reason of the Exchange; (d) the
accomplishment of the Exchange shall not be a condition precedent or condition
subsequent to the Exchanging Party's obligations under the Agreement; and (e)
the Non-Exchanging Party shall not be required to hold title to any land other
than the Property for purposes of the Exchange. The Exchanging Party
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Non-Exchanging Party harmless from any
and all liability, damage or cost, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney's fees that may result from Non-Exchanging Party's cooperation with the
Exchange. The Non-Exchanging Party shall not, by reason of the Exchange, (i)
have its rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any
representations, warranties and covenants made by the Exchanging Party in this
Agreement (including but not limited to any warranties of title, which, if
Seller is the Exchanging Party, shall remain warranties of Seller), or in any of
the closing documents (including but not limited to any warranties of title,
which, if Seller is the Exchanging Party, shall remain warranties of Seller)
contemplated hereby, adversely affected or diminished in any manner, or (ii) be
responsible for compliance with or deemed to have warranted to the Exchanging
Party that the Exchange complies with Section 1031 of the Code.
16
23. Broker’s
Commissions. Buyer and Seller each hereby represent that,
except for the Brokers, there are no other brokers involved or that have a right
to proceeds in this transaction. Seller shall be responsible for
payment of commissions to the Broker pursuant to a separate written agreement
executed by Seller. Seller and Buyer each hereby agree to indemnify
and hold the other harmless from all loss, cost, damage or expense (including
reasonable attorneys' fees at both trial and appellate levels) incurred by the
other as a result of any claim arising out of the acts of the indemnifying party
(or others on its behalf) for a commission, finder's fee or similar compensation
made by any broker, finder or any party who claims to have dealt with such party
(except that Buyer shall have no obligations hereunder with respect to any claim
by Broker). The representations, warranties and indemnity obligations
contained in this section shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination
of this Agreement.
24. Assignment. Buyer,
without the consent of Seller, may assign its rights under this Agreement,
provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of any of its
obligations hereunder until Closing is complete and provided further that such
assignment will not frustrate, delay or otherwise have an adverse effect on the
completion of the Loan Assumption. Without relieving Buyer of any
liability under the contractual nature of this Agreement, and without assigning
all or any portion of this Agreement, it is understood and agreed to by Seller
that Buyer intends to take title in the name of a wholly owned bankruptcy remote
special purpose entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing and without
further consent by Seller, it is understood and agreed to by Buyer and Seller
that Buyer intends to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to
the American Realty Capital New York Recovery REIT, Inc. or a subsidiary
thereof; provided however, that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of any of
its obligations hereunder until Closing is complete. Any other
assignment by Buyer shall require Seller’s prior written consent which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
25. Attorneys’
Fees. In any action between Buyer and Seller as a result of
failure to perform or a default under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover from the other party, and the other party shall pay to
the prevailing party, the prevailing party’s attorneys’ fees and disbursements
and court costs incurred in such action.
26. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be
considered one and the same agreement, and shall become a binding agreement when
one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered
to the other party. A facsimile or photostatic copy of an executed
counterpart or signature page to this Agreement shall be given the same effect
as the original.
27. Anti-Terrorism. Neither
Buyer or Seller, nor any of their affiliates, are in violation of any
Anti-Terrorism Law (as hereinafter defined) or engages in or conspires to engage
in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or
avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any
Anti-Terrorism Law. “Anti-Terrorism Laws” shall mean any laws relating to
terrorism or money laundering, including: Executive Order No. 13224; the Uniting
and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept
and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56, as the same has been, or
may hereafter be, renewed, extended, amended or replaced; the applicable laws
comprising or implementing the Bank Secrecy Act; and the applicable laws
administered by the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset
Control (as any of the foregoing may from time to time be amended, renewed,
extended, or replaced).
17
28. Loan
Assumption.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall have no
obligation to purchase the Property unless and until (and subject to any of
Buyer’s termination rights contained in this Agreement) Seller has secured from
the existing mortgagee of the Property (the “Lender”)
approval for an assumption of the loan secured by the Property (the “Loan
Assumption” and “Loan”
respectively) to be executed by Buyer at Closing, which shall have:
(i) an
original principal balance of not less than Fourteen Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars and No/00 ($14,500,000);
(ii) an
annual interest rate of not more than six and two tenths percent
(6.20%);
(iii) an
annual debt service of not more than One Million One Hundred Sixty Four Thousand
Nine Hundred Sixteen and No/00 ($1,164,916);
(iv) cash
escrow balances fully funded by Seller of not less than Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars and No/00 ($500,000);
(v) a
maturity date on or after November 1, 2012; and
(vi) no
requirement for personal recourse liability from any shareholder, owner, officer
or employee of Buyer.
Seller
shall be responsible for any and all fees and expenses of Lender or any other
third party (other than Buyer or any assignee of Buyer permitted under this
Agreement) in connection with the Loan Assumption; provided, however Buyer shall
pay Four Thousand Dollars and No/00 ($4,000) to Lender in connection with the
Acceleration Fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, if the Loan Assumption is not completed on or before the date
that is one hundred fifteen (115) days after the end of the Due Diligence
Period, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive a
full refund of the Xxxxxxx Money and thereafter neither party shall have any further
rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except as otherwise expressly set
forth herein.
18
(b) Buyer
and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts, including without
limitation, the furnishing of all commercially reasonable documents, executed
forms, instruments, and other materials requested by Lender, in a timely manner,
to obtain the consent of the Lender to:
(i) the
transfer of the Property to Buyer or a bankruptcy remote, special purpose entity
to be formed by Buyer to purchase the Property as permitted pursuant and subject
to the provisions of Section 24 (the
“Buyer
Entity”) the governance of which may involve an independent director(s)
or other person who is not employed by Buyer or an affiliate of
Buyer,
(ii) the
assumption by Buyer or the Buyer Entity of the Loan with no change or
modification in the terms of the Loan; and
(iii) a
release of Seller and/or its affiliates from all liabilities arising under the
Loan for periods after Closing, including, without limitation, any liability
under any guaranty or indemnity executed by Seller and/or its affiliates in
favor of Lender relating to the Loan; provided, however, that notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller acknowledges that Buyer will
propose the Buyer Entity (which entity Buyer agrees shall be formed and
established to qualify as bankruptcy remote, special purpose entities in
compliance with the customary requirements for so-called “securitized loans”) to
the Lender to assume the Loan and Buyer will determine in its sole and absolute
discretion the entity it will offer to the Lender to provide guarantees of
non-recourse carve outs and any required environmental or other
indemnity. If Lender consents to the assumption of the Loan in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Buyer Entity shall assume
and agree to pay and perform at Closing the Loan obligations that arise from and
after the Closing, in each case subject to the prorations and adjustments
provided for in this Agreement.
29. No
Recording. The parties hereto agree that neither this
Agreement nor any memorandum or notice hereof shall be recorded. Any
recordation or attempted recordation by Buyer shall constitute a default by
Buyer.
