(vii) Any financing statements, chattel mortgages, encumbrances or mechanics’ or other liens entered into by, or arising from, any financing statements filed on a day more than five (5) years prior to the Closing and not extended or renewed since the date of original filing and any financing statements, chattel mortgages, encumbrances or mechanics’ or other liens filed against property no longer contained in the Property, provided that the Title Insurer shall remove them as exceptions from the title insurance policy to be issued to Purchaser at Closing or shall affirmatively insure over them;

4.1.1. Purchaser acknowledges receipt of the Title Commitment issued by the Title Company as well as the Survey, which Purchaser shall cause to be certified to the Title Company, Purchaser, Seller and, if applicable, Purchaser’s lender. Purchaser will cause copies of the Title Commitment, all documents of record which are listed as exceptions in the Title Commitment and the Survey (collectively, the “Title Materials”) to be delivered to Seller. If an update or endorsement to the Title Commitment delivered to Purchaser after the Effective Date or a revision to the Survey (“Title/Survey Update”) issued after the Effective Date discloses a title or Survey matter that was not disclosed in the Title Materials or in a previous Title/Survey Update, which in each case are not Permitted Exceptions, Purchaser may deliver to Seller, within five (5) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Title/Survey Update (“Title/Survey Update Review Period”) a written objection (an “Objection”) to such defect first disclosed on the Title/Survey Update accompanied by a copy of the Title/Survey Update. Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed to accept title subject to all matters reflected in the Title Commitment and any Title/Survey Update and to the state of facts shown on the Survey, other than Objections that have been timely given, so long as such Objections are to matters that are not Permitted Exceptions and provided that, in no event shall Purchaser be deemed to have agreed to accept title subject to (i) monetary liens, encumbrances or security interests against Seller and/or the Property that have been created, consented to or affirmatively permitted by Seller in writing (including, without limitation, the items listed as items 4 and 19-24 of Schedule B-II of the Title Commitment unless such documents are assigned to Purchaser’s lender as provided in Section 4.2 below), (ii) encumbrances that have been voluntarily placed against the Property by Seller after the Effective Date without Purchaser’s prior written consent and that will not otherwise be satisfied on or before the Closing or (iii) exceptions that can be removed from the Title Commitment by Seller’s delivery of a customary owner’s title affidavit or gap indemnity, provided same shall not require any indemnities except for such “gap” indemnity or require any escrows or holdbacks unless consented to by Seller, in each instance, in its sole and absolute discretion (all of the foregoing hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Seller’s Required Removal Items”). All title matters and exceptions set forth in the Title Commitment and any Title/Survey Update and the state of facts shown on the Survey which are not Objections, or which are thereafter deemed to be accepted or waived by Purchaser as hereinafter provided, other than the Seller’s Required Removal Items, are hereafter referred to as the “Permitted Exceptions”.
4.1.2. If Purchaser notifies Seller within the Title/Survey Update Review Period of Objections which are not Permitted Exceptions, then within five (5) business days after
6
Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s notice, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing (“Seller’s Title Response Notice”) of the Objections which Seller agrees to satisfy at or prior to the Closing, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, and of the Objections that Seller cannot or will not satisfy. Failure by Seller to respond to Purchaser by the expiration of said five (5) business day response period shall be deemed as Seller’s election not to cure the Objections raised by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall, in any event, be obligated to satisfy Seller’s Required Removal Items. If Seller chooses not to satisfy all or any of the Objections other than the Seller’s Required Removal Items, Seller shall notify Purchaser thereof within the allowed five (5) business day period, then Purchaser shall have the option to be exercised within five (5) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Seller’s Title Response Notice of either (i) terminating this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller, whereupon (A) Purchaser shall receive a full return of the Deposit, and (B) except for obligations that this Agreement expressly states survive termination, neither party shall have any further rights against the other hereunder, or (ii) electing to consummate the purchase of the Project, in which case Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such Objections, without any adjustment in the Purchase Price, and such Objections shall become “Permitted Exceptions” for all purposes hereunder. Failure by Purchaser to respond to Seller by the expiration of said five (5) business day response period shall be deemed its election to waive the applicable Objection(s), which shall automatically become “Permitted Exceptions”. If, at or prior to the Closing, Seller is unable or unwilling to satisfy any Objections that Seller has agreed to satisfy in Seller’s Title Response Notice, subject to Seller’s rights in the immediately following sentence, Purchaser shall have the sole option, at Purchaser’s sole discretion and without having any other right or remedy, (i) to adjourn the Closing Date by giving written notice of such adjournment to Seller in order to allow Seller additional time to satisfy such Objections, (ii) to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller, whereupon (A) Purchaser shall receive a full return of the Deposit, (B) except for obligations that this Agreement expressly states survive termination, neither party shall have any further rights against the other hereunder, and (C) Seller shall be obligated to reimburse Purchaser on demand all of Purchaser’s verifiable third-party, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with its investigation of the Property and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, up to the aggregate amount of $100,000.00, upon presentation of invoices therefor (the “Purchaser’s Reimbursement Cap”), or (iii) to close this transaction in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof and accepting title in its then existing condition with all matters set forth in the Title Commitment or on the Survey (other than Seller’s Required Removal Items and Objections that Seller has cured) being deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to Purchaser having the adjournment and/or termination rights described in subparagraphs (i)-(ii) of the immediately prior sentence, Seller shall have the right (but no obligation) to extend the Closing Date in order to cure any such Objections, in one or more adjournments, for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate.
4.1.3. It is a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close that the Title Company shall be prepared to cause title to the Property to be insured with a 2006 ALTA Owners Policy of Title Insurance to Purchaser (the “Title Policy”) , at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, insuring Purchaser’s fee simple title to the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.
7
4.2 The Property is currently encumbered by a mortgage in the approximate outstanding principal balance of $70 million in favor of Manufacturer’s and Traders Trust Company (the “Existing Mortgage”). Seller shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Purchaser in arranging for an assignment of the Existing Mortgage to Purchaser’s designee, without representation, warranty or recourse by or to Seller, provided that (i) such cooperation by Seller shall be without charge or cost to Seller, (ii) all costs related to the assignment of the Existing Mortgage in lieu of a satisfaction of such Existing Mortgage (including, without limitation, all legal fees incurred by the holder of the Existing Mortgage), as distinguished from the amount required to pay the principal, interest, and any prepayment charges due to the holder of such Existing Mortgage in connection with such assignment, shall be Purchaser’s obligation to pay, (iii) such assignment shall not delay the Closing Date, and (iv) any net benefit to Purchaser in mortgage recording tax savings, will be split at Closing equally between Purchaser and Seller. In connection therewith, upon the assignment of the Existing Mortgage to Purchaser’s designee at Closing, Seller shall receive a credit from Purchaser for fifty percent (50%) of such mortgage recording tax savings amount at Closing, after deduction of all third party costs incurred by Purchaser related to such assignment (including, without limitation, all legal fees incurred by the holder of the Existing Mortgage). Seller shall not be responsible, in any manner whatsoever, for any failure of any holder of the Existing Mortgage to deliver an assignment of the Existing Mortgage. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller makes no representation of its ability to deliver an assignment from the holder of the Existing Mortgage encumbering the Property. If the holder of the Existing Mortgage does not assign the Existing Mortgage to Purchaser’s designee at Closing, then Seller shall be obligated, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to obtain a satisfaction of the Existing Mortgage at the Closing (and Seller may use or instruct the Title Company to use any cash portion of the Purchase Price for the Property to satisfy the Existing Mortgage). If the holder of the Existing Mortgage does assign the Existing Mortgage to Purchaser’s designee at Closing, Seller shall use or instruct the Title Company to use a portion of the Purchase Price to pay the holder of the Existing Mortgage the principal, interest, and any prepayment charges due to such holder in connection with such assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing (or anything herein to the contrary), in no event shall the Closing be contingent upon the assignment of the Existing Mortgage or any financing of the purchase of the Property by Purchaser.
Section 5. Closing Date. Provided that all of the conditions to Purchaser’s obligation to close shall be satisfied in accordance with Section 10 herein, and subject to adjournment by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, as provided in this Agreement, the sale contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated and closed through an escrow arrangement with the Title Company on or before November 28, 2012, TIME OF THE ESSENCE, or such earlier or later date as the parties may mutually agree upon in writing. The terms and conditions of such escrow arrangement shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement and shall otherwise be reasonably acceptable to Seller, Purchaser and the Title Company. The consummation and the closing of the purchase and sale of the Project as contemplated by this Agreement are herein referred to as the “Closing,” and the date on which the Closing occurs is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to each party’s respective rights to adjourn the Closing Date pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement in the event certain of Purchaser’s conditions to Closing have not been satisfied, Purchaser shall have the
8
one-time right to extend the scheduled date of Closing for up to thirty (30) days by delivering written notice to Seller prior to the date on which the Closing is scheduled to occur and by depositing an additional xxxxxxx money deposit of $2,000,000.00 (the “Extension Deposit”) with Title Company on or prior to the initially scheduled Closing Date (as the same previously may have been adjourned, if applicable).
Section 6. “AS IS”. Purchaser acknowledges that prior to the Effective Date Purchaser has made such investigations and inspections of the Project and the books and records relating thereto as it has deemed necessary to satisfy itself as to all matters relating to its purchase of the Project. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Purchaser shall purchase the Project in its “AS IS” condition as of the Effective Date, subject to reasonable wear and tear until Closing and subject to casualty damage as herein provided.
This Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto contain all the terms of the agreement entered into between the parties, and Purchaser acknowledges that neither Seller nor any representatives of Seller has made any representations or held out any inducements to Purchaser, other than those herein expressed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser has not relied on any representations or warranties of Seller other than as expressly set forth herein or in any document executed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, in either case express or implied, as to (i) the current or future real estate tax liability, assessment or valuation of the Property; (ii) the potential qualification of the Property for any and all benefits conferred by federal, state or municipal laws, whether for subsidies, special real estate tax treatment, insurance, mortgages, or any other benefits, whether similar or dissimilar to those enumerated; (iii) the availability of any financing for the purchase, alteration, rehabilitation or operation of the Property from any source, including but not limited to, state, city, or federal government or any institutional lender; (iv) the physical condition of the Property; or (v) compliance with any applicable law, rule or regulation, building code, zoning code and Environmental Law (defined in Section 8.1.15).
Except as set forth in Sections 8.4 and 16 herein, nothing in this Section 6 shall be deemed to limit Seller’s liability as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities that survive the Closing.
The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the Closing and conveyance of title to the Property.
Section 7. Satisfaction of Liens. If at the Closing there are any liens on the Property which Seller is obligated to pay and discharge, provided that Seller shall be permitted to bond over same, provided such bonded liens are omitted from the Title Policy, Seller shall have the right to instruct the Title Company to use any cash portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same. Provided that Seller shall have delivered to the Title Company at or before the Closing acceptable pay-off letters from any lien holders verifying the amounts to be paid at Closing to satisfy and release such liens of record and Seller authorizes the Title Company to use the Purchase Price (or a portion thereof) to pay such liens, such that the Title Company will issue at Closing the Title Policy without exception thereto, then the mere existence of any such liens to be satisfied and released out of the Purchase Price shall not be deemed unsatisfied Objections to title.

11.1.15. such other instruments and documents which shall be necessary in connection with the transaction contemplated herein and which do not impose, create, or potentially create any liability or expense upon Seller not expressly required under this Agreement; and
11.1.16. to the extent not previously delivered by Seller to Purchaser, the Tenant Executed Estoppels, the REA Estoppel and any other documents contemplated by Section 10; and to the extent not previously delivered by Seller to Purchaser, (a) records and files which are in Seller’s possession or control relating to the current operation and maintenance of the Project, including, without limitation, current tax bills, current water, sewer, utility and fuel bills, payroll records, billing records for Tenants, repair and maintenance records and the like which affect or relate to the Project, (b) all documents necessary to conduct 2012 Tenant reconciliations as described in Section 14 hereof, including, without limitation, a CAM reconciliation for the period from January 1, 2012 to the Closing Date, (c) all architectural and engineering plans and specifications relating to the Property in Seller’s possession or control, and (d) all original Leases and Contracts, Approvals, and Warranties. Seller’s obligation to provide the files and materials listed herein shall survive the Closing.
Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in preparing the Closing Statement, beginning no less than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date.
11.2 Seller shall diligently and in good faith endeavor to obtain and deliver to Purchaser estoppel certificates dated not sooner than within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date in the form of Exhibit “D-1” attached hereto and made a part hereof (or in such form as may be prescribed under any Lease or in the form required by any Tenant’s lease, provided same are certified to Purchaser, Purchaser’s lender and their respective successors and assigns) (“Estoppel Certificate”) duly executed by each of the Tenants of the Property. Estoppel Certificates in the form described above executed by Tenants and that (1) are dated not sooner than within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, (2) have all blanks completed or marked not applicable, as appropriate, (3) have all exhibits completed and attached, as applicable, (4) do not indicate: (x) any material discrepancy from the Rent Roll or Leases, (y) any Lease amendment that was not previously provided by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.1, or (z) any adverse claim or landlord default which, together with any adverse changes referenced in Section 10.1, any
22
adverse matters referred to in Section 10.5, and any adverse matters disclosed in other Estoppel Certificates, is reasonably anticipated to have an adverse economic impact, in the aggregate, which would exceed the Floor (items (1)-(4) being collectively referred to herein as the “Estoppel Requirements”) are herein referred to as the “Tenant Executed Estoppels,” it being agreed that the inclusion of qualifications as to knowledge shall not cause any Estoppel Certificate to be non-compliant. Claims of any Tenant set forth in any Estoppel Certificate shall not be deemed (alone or in combination with other matters), to cause such Estoppel Certificate not to be a Tenant Executed Estoppel unless the facts underlying such claims are materially inconsistent with Seller’s representations or agreements under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, an Estoppel Certificate shall be a Tenant Executed Estoppel notwithstanding that such Estoppel Certificate may contain claims that are based on (i) facts disclosed in writing to Purchaser prior to Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement or (ii) an assertion by any Tenant that there are amounts due from Seller to such Tenant allocable to periods prior to the Closing and for which amounts Seller has advised Purchaser prior to the Closing, without being under any obligation to do so, that it shall pay at or prior to Closing. It shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property that Seller shall have obtained Tenant Executed Estoppels from (i) all Tenants listed on Exhibit “D-2” annexed hereto (the “Key Tenants”) and (ii) Tenants leasing at least seventy-five (75%) of the square footage of the leased portion of the remainder of the Project (after subtracting the square footage leased by the Key Tenants) (collectively, the “Required Tenant Executed Estoppels”) by the Closing. In the event that Seller is unable to obtain the Required Tenant Executed Estoppels prior to the scheduled date for Closing, Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days in the aggregate to obtain such Tenant Executed Estoppels. In addition, Seller shall have the option, but in no event shall be under any obligation, to deliver an Estoppel Certificate executed by Seller that satisfies the Estoppel Requirements (a “Seller Estoppel Certificate”) for each Lease, other than the Leases of the Key Tenants, for which Seller does not obtain a Tenant Executed Estoppel, and Purchaser agrees to accept same in the place of Tenant Executed Estoppels with respect to Tenants leasing up to fifty percent (50%) of the square footage in the Center not leased by the Key Tenants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, subsequently, Purchaser receives a Tenant Executed Estoppel for which Seller had previously delivered a Seller Estoppel Certificate, Seller shall be released from any liability in regards to its Seller Estoppel Certificate, it being acknowledged that thereafter such Tenant Executed Estoppel shall replace such Seller Estoppel Certificate. In the event that Seller fails to extend the Closing Date as permitted hereunder to obtain the Required Tenant Executed Estoppels or fails, after exercising such thirty (30) day extension, to satisfy the requirements of this Section 11.2, Purchaser shall have the right to (x) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller, whereupon (A) Purchaser shall receive a full return of the Deposit, and (B) except for obligations that this Agreement expressly states survive termination, neither party shall have any further rights against the other hereunder, or (y) adjourn the Closing Date for a period not exceeding thirty (30) days by giving written notice to Seller in order to allow Seller additional time to obtain the Required Tenant Executed Estoppels. Seller agrees to forward any Tenant Executed Estoppels received by Seller from a Tenant to Purchaser promptly after Seller’s receipt of same.
23
11.3 At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver the following documents in addition to payment of the balance of the Purchase Price:
11.3.1. evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller of Purchaser’s authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the documents to be delivered by it pursuant thereto;
11.3.2. an instrument of assumption of all of Seller’s obligations under the Leases in the form of Exhibit “C-1” executed by Purchaser;
11.3.3. an instrument of assumption of all of Seller’s obligations under those Contracts being assumed by Purchaser, in the form of Exhibit “C-5” executed by Purchaser;
11.3.4. the Closing Statement executed by Purchaser; and
11.3.5. such other instruments or documents which shall be necessary in connection with the transaction herein contemplated and which do not impose, create, or potentially create any liability or expense upon Purchaser not expressly required under this Agreement, including any transfer tax forms.
The acceptance of the Deed by Purchaser shall be deemed to be full performance and discharge of any and all obligations on the part of Seller to be performed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, except where such agreements and obligations are specifically stated to survive.
11.4 With respect to the $2,500,000 letter of credit delivered by BJ’s Wholesale Club, Inc. to Seller under its Lease, Seller will deliver to Purchaser at Closing the original letter of credit and an executed counterpart of the related transfer request form, directing the issuer of such letter of credit to transfer such letter of credit to Purchaser in the full amount thereof. In addition, following the Closing, upon the request of Purchaser, Seller will execute and deliver any supplemental documents required by the issuer of such letter of credit in order to transfer such letter of credit to Purchaser, provided any such additional documents do not impose any additional liability or expense upon Seller.
Section 12. Brokerage. Each of Seller and Purchaser represents and warrants to the other that no brokers, finders or other parties have been involved with it in this transaction except HFF, LP (“Broker”). Seller shall pay a commission to Broker with respect to the transaction contemplated herein pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Broker and shall indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser harmless against any costs, claims or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of any claim by Broker for such commission. Seller and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other against any costs, claims or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of the breach of their respective representations and/or agreements hereunder. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.
Section 13. Notices. All notices or other communications hereunder to either party shall be (i) in writing and shall be deemed to be given on the earlier to occur of (a) actual receipt, (b) the date of electronic or facsimile transmission in the case of delivery by facsimile or electronic mail (provided that the original thereof shall be promptly sent by overnight courier for next business day delivery), (c) the following business day after the date of delivery to a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) the third business day after deposit of both

Section 14. Prorations and Costs.
14.1 Prorations. Purchaser and Seller shall apportion as of midnight of the day preceding the Closing, the items hereinafter set forth. Any errors or omissions in computing apportionments at Closing shall be promptly corrected. The obligations set forth in this Section 14 shall survive the Closing. The items to be adjusted are:
14.1.1. City ad valorem taxes and other assessments for the tax year in which the Closing occurs.
25
14.1.2. all base rent, percentage rent and additional rent and similar charges to the extent collected by Seller. Any base rent, percentage rent, additional rent or other charges received from a Tenant after the Closing shall be applied in the following order of priority:
1. First, to the rents owing for the calendar month in which the Closing occurred;
2. Second, to any rents then owing for any calendar month or months following the calendar month in which the Closing occurred; and
3. Third, to rents owing for any calendar month or months preceding the calendar month in which the Closing occurred until the Tenant, under the applicable Lease, is current.
For a period of six (6) months after the Closing, Purchaser shall xxxx Tenants for all amounts due under their Leases accruing prior to the Closing (including, without limitation, base rent, additional rent, percentage rent or other Tenant charges for the year 2012) and shall use reasonable efforts to collect from Tenants any base rent, additional rent, percentage rent or other Tenant charges owing with respect to the period prior to the Closing. To the extent delinquent amounts for base rents, additional rents, percentage rents and other tenant charges for the period prior to the Closing (“Delinquent Rents”) are collected by Purchaser, subject to clauses 1, 2 and 3 above, such amounts, net of reasonable costs of collection, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, shall be paid to Seller no later than ten (10) business days following the date on which such amounts have been received by Purchaser or its agent. Purchaser shall not be obligated to expend any funds or commence legal proceedings to collect any Delinquent Rents. In no event shall Seller commence or pursue any legal proceedings against any Tenant after the Closing other than actions against Key Tenants for non-payment of rent. Any such action must be commenced within sixty (60) days after Closing, and Seller shall not have the right to seek eviction. Further, in the event Seller commences any such action and the applicable Tenant names Purchaser as a third party defendant or otherwise causes Purchaser to be named in any such action, Seller shall indemnify and defend Purchaser from such claims except with respect to any claims asserted by such Tenant relating to matters arising after the Closing.
At Closing, percentage rents shall be separately apportioned based on the percentage rents actually collected by Seller. Such apportionment shall be made separately for each Tenant who is obligated to pay percentage rent on the basis of the fiscal year set forth in the Tenant’s Lease for the determination and payment of percentage rent. Any percentage rent received from a Tenant after the Closing shall be applied as follows: (a) Purchaser shall be entitled to a prorata portion of such percentage rent payment based on the number of days within the applicable percentage rent fiscal year period that Purchaser owned the Project and (b) Seller shall be entitled to a prorata portion of such percentage rent payment based on the number of days within the applicable percentage rent period that Seller owned the Project.
No later than one (1) year after the Closing Date (the “Final Adjustment Date”), Seller and Purchaser shall make a final adjustment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.1 of percentage rent and other items of additional rents for which final adjustments or prorations could not be determined at the Closing, if any, because of the lack of
26
actual statements, bills or invoices for the current period, the year end adjustment of common area maintenance, taxes and like items, the unavailability of final sales figures or amounts for percentage rent or any other reason. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 14.1.3, any net adjustment in favor of Purchaser or Seller is to be paid in cash by the other no later than ten (10) business days after such final adjustment has been made.
14.1.3. To the extent Tenants pay monthly estimates of common area maintenance charges, central plant charges, taxes and similar expenses (collectively, “Charges”) with an adjustment at the end of each fiscal year applicable to Charges, they shall be prorated in accordance with this Section. Until the adjustment described in this Section is made, all amounts received by Seller as interim payments of Charges before the Closing Date shall be retained by Seller, except that all interim payments received by either party for the month in which the Closing Date occurs shall be prorated as between Seller and Purchaser based upon the number of days in that month and the party receiving the interim payment shall remit to (if received on or after the Closing Date) or credit (if received before the Closing Date) the other party its proportionate share. All amounts received by Purchaser as interim payments of Charges on or after the Closing Date shall be retained by Purchaser until year end adjustment and determination of Seller’s allocable share thereof except to the extent provided in Section 14.1.2 above. No later than the Final Adjustment Date, Seller’s allocable share of actual Charges for Leases in effect as of the Closing Date shall be determined by multiplying the total payments due from each Tenant for such fiscal year (the sum of estimated payments plus or minus year end adjustments) by a fraction, the numerator of which is Seller’s actual cost of providing common area maintenance services and taxes (as the case may be) prior to the Closing Date (within that portion of the fiscal year prior to the Closing Date in which the applicable Lease is in effect), and the denominator of which is the cost of providing such services and paying such taxes for the entire fiscal year (or that portion of the fiscal year in which the applicable Lease is in effect). If, on the basis of amounts actually incurred and the estimated payments received by Seller, Seller has retained amounts in excess of its allocable share, it shall remit, within thirty (30) days after notice from Purchaser of the excess owed Purchaser, such excess to Purchaser. If, on the basis of the foregoing amounts, Seller has retained less than its allocable share (the “Seller Shortfall”), Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts for a period of ninety (90) days after the Final Adjustment Date to collect the Seller Shortfall from the Tenants of the Property and, to the extent collected by Purchaser, Purchaser shall promptly remit the Seller Shortfall, net of reasonable costs of collection, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, to Seller. Purchaser shall not be obligated to expend any funds or commence legal proceedings to collect any Seller Shortfall. In no event shall Seller commence any legal proceedings against any Tenant after the Closing with respect to any Seller Shortfall.
In the event there is a dispute with any Tenant relating to Charges billed by Seller relating to the period prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall be responsible for resolving such dispute with such Tenant and, if it is determined that credits are due to such Tenant with respect to such charges, Seller shall remit such amount either to the Purchaser or directly to the Tenant within ten (10) days after determination thereof. In the event there is a dispute with any Tenant relating to Charges billed by Purchaser relating to the period after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be responsible for resolving such dispute with such Tenant and, if it is determined that credits are due to such Tenant with respect to such charges, Purchaser shall remit such amount to the Tenant within ten (10) days after determination thereof.
27
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in the preceding paragraph, Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain all reconciliation payments made by Tenants with respect to Charges for the calendar years preceding the calendar year of Closing, and shall be responsible for any amounts owed to Tenants in connection with the final reconciliation of Charges for such prior calendar years. If any such reconciliation payment with respect to Charges for a calendar year preceding the year in which the Closing occurs is received by Purchaser after the Closing, Purchaser shall remit such payment to Seller within ten (10) business days after receipt. If any Tenant which is owed a refund with respect to Charges for a calendar year preceding the calendar year of Closing deducts or sets off such amount against rents or other charges owed by such Tenant after the Closing, Seller shall remit such amount to Purchaser promptly following the occurrence of such set off or deduction.
14.1.4. All other income and all operating expenses of the Project for the assumed Contracts and public utility charges and charges and/or payments under the REAs with respect to the Project shall be prorated at the Closing effective as of the Closing Date, and appropriate cash adjustments shall be made by Purchaser and Seller. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate to arrange for final utility readings as close to the Closing Date as possible and the issuance of a final xxxx to Seller with Purchaser being designated the billing party in lieu of Seller for all utilities that may be in the name of Seller from and after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the management agreement and leasing agreement, if any, for the Property shall be terminated as of the Closing date and there shall be no apportionment of any fees or charges thereunder.
14.1.5. At Closing, any prepaid rents and security deposits under the Leases (together with any interest accrued thereon) shall be transferred to Purchaser either directly or by way of a credit in favor of Purchaser.
14.1.6. If, at Closing, the Property or any part thereof shall have been affected by an assessment or assessments, which are or may become payable in annual installments, of which the first installment is then a charge or lien, then for the purposes of this Agreement, all the unpaid installments of any such assessment due and payable in calendar years prior to the year in which the Closing occurs shall be paid by Seller and all installments becoming due and payable after the Closing shall be assumed and paid by Purchaser, except, however, that any installments which are due and payable in the calendar year in which the Closing occurs shall be adjusted pro rata. However, if such an assessment or assessments shall be due in one lump sum payment, then to the extent such assessment(s) is for improvements in place as of the date of this Agreement, then such assessment(s) shall be paid by Seller but if such assessment(s) is for improvements to be made subsequent to the date of Closing, then the same shall be paid by Purchaser.
14.1.7. All unpaid tenant improvement costs or allowances, free rent periods or rental abatements, concessions and other inducements and all brokerage commissions relating to the Leases listed on Schedule “1.5” hereto with respect to the current term of any Leases and space demised to such Tenants as of the date hereof, and any amounts owing by Seller hereunder or pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, shall be the obligation of Seller. Except as provided in Section 25 hereof with respect to Leases of Suite L and Suite G5, Purchaser shall be responsible for all tenant improvement costs or allowances, free rent periods or rental
28
abatements, concessions and other inducements and all brokerage commissions relating to any Leases entered into after the Effective Date with the approval of Purchaser, as well as all tenant improvement costs or allowances, free rent periods or rental abatements, concessions and other inducements and brokerage commissions relating to or arising from any renewal, expansion, or extension of any of the existing Leases listed on Schedule “1.5” hereto. Seller’s obligations described in this Section either (i) shall be paid at Closing (or paid when due if sooner) by Seller with evidence of payment delivered to Purchaser at Closing, or (ii) Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for any such amount(s) not paid.
14.1.8. At Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for (i) amounts paid to Seller by Tenants, merchants and other associations for promotional funds, and other similar contributions or payments, if any and (ii) all funds held by Seller with respect to outstanding gift certificates, if any.
14.2 Purchaser’s Costs. Purchaser will pay:
14.2.1. The fees and disbursements of Purchaser’s counsel, inspecting architect, engineer, environmental consultant and other consultants, if any;
14.2.2. Any closing escrow fees of the Title Company;
14.2.3. The cost of the Title Commitment and the Title Policy, including any search and exam fees, as well as the cost of all endorsements thereto ;
14.2.4. Any costs relating to any financing obtained by Purchaser (including, without limitation, any mortgage taxes and any additional title premiums resulting from obtaining a loan title policy);
14.2.5. The cost of the Survey; and
14.2.6. Recording fees (other than the cost of recording any releases that Seller is required or has agreed to remove in accordance with this Agreement).
14.3 Seller’s Costs. Seller will pay:
14.3.1. The fees and disbursements of Seller’s counsel;
14.3.2. The cost of releasing all liens, judgments and other encumbrances that Seller has agreed to or is required to remove in accordance with this Agreement; and
14.3.3. Any transfer taxes relating to the conveyance of the Property to Purchaser.
Section 15. Damage or Destruction Prior to Closing and Condemnation.
15.1 If prior to the Closing the Property is damaged or destroyed but not materially damaged or destroyed, by fire or other casualty, Purchaser shall nonetheless be required to perform this Agreement and shall be entitled to the casualty insurance proceeds
29
payable with respect thereto (including without limitation any business income, rent loss or like insurance proceeds relating to Property income lost or abated for periods following Closing (such lost or abated income, the “Lost Income”)) under the policies of insurance maintained by Seller (collectively, the “Insurance Proceeds”) and to a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the deductible under any insurance policy maintained by the Seller which covers such damage or destruction, but without any further reduction or credit against the Purchase Price. If the Property is materially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement on written notice to Seller given within ten (10) business days after receiving notice of the occurrence of such fire or casualty. If Purchaser shall exercise such option to terminate, the Purchaser shall receive a full refund of the Deposit and except for obligations that this Agreement expressly states survive termination, neither party shall have any further rights against the other hereunder. If Purchaser does not exercise such option to terminate, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and Purchaser shall be entitled to the Insurance Proceeds plus a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the deductible under any insurance policy maintained by Seller which covers such damage or destruction. For purposes hereof, the Project shall be deemed “materially damaged or destroyed” if (i) the cost of repair and restoration to the Property of such damage or destruction as estimated by the engineer or contractor selected by Seller and Purchaser is greater than $5 Million, in the case of the premises leased to BJ’s Wholesale, greater than $2 Million, in the case of the improvements located on Lot 5, or greater than $1 Million, in the case of the other improvements located on the Land (such amounts, a “Significant Portion”), (ii) if such damage or destruction would entitle Tenants paying rents with an aggregate capitalized value of $1,000,000 or more, based on a capitalization rate of 6.14%, to terminate their Lease(s) (to the extent such Tenants have not waived such right), (iii) if such damage or destruction would entitle Tenants to xxxxx their rent with resulting Lost Income not covered by Insurance Proceeds which can be assigned to Purchaser after the Closing in excess of $60,000.00, or (iv) if such damage or destruction is not covered by insurance, or if such insurance is not for the full replacement cost, except for deductible amounts. This Article is an express agreement to the contrary of Section 5-1311 of the New York General Obligations Law.
15.2 In the event prior to Closing a condemnation proceeding is commenced, a condemnation proceeding is concluded, or all or any part of the Property is conveyed in lieu of condemnation, which condemnation would have a material and adverse effect on the Property, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Purchaser shall receive a full refund of the Deposit, and except for obligations that this Agreement expressly states survive termination, neither party shall have any further rights against the other hereunder. In the event Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement or in the event such condemnation proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Property, Purchaser shall thenceforth be required to close the transaction contemplated hereunder and Seller shall assign to Purchaser, at the Closing, all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and to any condemnation claim and/or award payable with respect to the Property. For purposes of this Section 15.2, a “material and adverse effect” shall include the taking of Improvements resulting in a reduction in the value of the Property in amounts in excess of the amounts set forth in Section 15.1 as a “Significant Portion” with respect to the respective portions of the Property described therein, or a condemnation or conveyance in lieu thereof that will entitle Tenant(s) paying rents with an aggregate capitalized value of $1,000,000 or more, based on a capitalization rate of 6.14%, to terminate their Leases (to the extent that such Tenant(s) do not waive such rights), or that will entitle Tenants to xxxxx their rent with resulting Lost Income in excess of $60,000.00.

Section 16. Remedies.
16.1 IF THE SALE IS NOT CONSUMMATED DUE TO ANY DEFAULT BY PURCHASER HEREUNDER, THEN SELLER, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR PURCHASER’S DEFAULT, SHALL RETAIN THE DEPOSIT, AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, THE PARTIES HAVING AGREED THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE TO CONSUMMATE THIS SALE DUE TO PURCHASER’S DEFAULT, WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE. AFTER NEGOTIATION, THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT, CONSIDERING ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER WOULD INCUR IN SUCH EVENT. EACH PARTY WAS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL WHO EXPLAINED, AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT WAS MADE, THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION. THE FOREGOING SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE SELLER’S UNCONDITIONAL AND IRREVOCABLE ELECTION OF A REMEDY FOR A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
16.2 A. Subject to this Section, if Seller shall default in its obligations under this Agreement, beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, or if there shall be a material breach discovered by Purchaser before Closing of any of Seller’s representations or warranties in Section 8 hereunder, the parties hereto agree that Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be limited either (a) to the termination of this Agreement, in which event Purchaser shall receive a full return of the Deposit and, in addition, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with Purchaser’s investigation of the Property and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement up to the Purchaser’s Reimbursement Cap, or (b) to specific performance of this Agreement, provided Purchaser initiates such action no later than sixty (60) days after any rights of Purchaser arise due to such uncured Seller default or breach hereunder. For purposes of this Section, “material” shall mean any state of facts which, taken alone or together with all other untruths or inaccuracies and all such covenants with which Seller has not materially complied, can reasonably be anticipated to have an economic impact, in the aggregate, in excess of the Floor (as hereinafter defined). Seller may elect to provide Purchaser with a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of the damage estimated by Purchaser to result or potentially result from such breach or default by delivering notice of such intention to Purchaser no later than ten (10) days from the date of Purchaser’s notice to cure any such material breach, in which case such breach shall be deemed cured and Purchaser shall no longer have the right to terminate the Agreement as a result thereof.
B. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 16.2A above, if specific performance is unavailable as a remedy to Purchaser because of Seller’s affirmative intentional act in breach of this Agreement for the purpose of avoiding the transaction described in this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right to pursue any remedy at law or in equity including, without limitation, a claim for money damages.
31
C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the representations of Seller set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement shall survive the Closing under this Agreement for a period of six (6) months after the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”); provided, however, that the representations of Seller set forth in this Agreement with respect to Leases shall not survive the Closing to the extent a Tenant Executed Estoppel covering substantially the same matter is delivered. Each such Seller representation shall automatically be null and void and of no further force and effect after the Survival Period unless, prior to the end of the Survival Period, Purchaser shall have asserted in writing a specific claim with respect to the particular Surviving Seller Representation and commenced a legal proceeding within forty-five (45) days thereafter against Seller alleging that Seller is in breach of such surviving Seller representation and that Purchaser has suffered actual damages as a result thereof (a “Proceeding”). In no event shall Purchaser be entitled to assert any consequential, special or punitive damages, nor shall it be entitled to any award or payment based on such damages. If Purchaser timely commences a Proceeding, and a court of competent jurisdiction, pursuant to a final, non-appealable order in connection with such Proceeding, determines that (1) the applicable surviving Seller representation was breached as of the Closing Date and (2) Purchaser suffered actual damages (the “Damages”) by reason of such breach and (3) Purchaser did not have knowledge of such breach prior to the Closing, then Purchaser shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Damages, but in no event in an amount greater than the Ceiling (as hereinafter defined); provided, however, Purchaser shall not be entitled to pursue any claim against Seller for Damages to Purchaser that are less than the Floor (as hereinafter defined). If Purchaser has claim(s) against Seller, in excess of the Floor in the aggregate, then Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue the actual loss suffered by Purchaser in connection with such claim(s) against Seller, but in no event shall Seller’s liability for any and all claims exceed the Ceiling. For purposes of this Section 16, Purchaser shall be deemed to have knowledge of the fact in issue prior to Closing if Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx or Xxxx X. Xxxx had actual (and not imputed or constructive) knowledge of the fact in issue prior to Closing or if such information is included in any Lease, Contract, or any other Property Information provided by Seller to Purchaser with respect to the Property. Purchaser represents that Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx and Xxxx X. Xxxx are the persons within Purchaser’s organization with primary responsibility for Purchaser’s due diligence with respect to the Property. As used herein, “Floor” shall mean with respect to any claim or claims against Seller for breach of any Surviving Seller Representation, SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND AND 00/100 Dollars ($75,000.00), and “Ceiling” shall mean THREE MILLION AND 00/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00). The provisions of this Section 16 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy after closing for breaches of Seller’s representations and warranties.
16.3 The provisions of Sections 16.1 and 16.2 hereof shall not limit any rights or remedies that either party may have against the other after the Closing with respect to those provisions of this Agreement that survive Closing or the documents delivered pursuant to Sections 11.1 and 11.3 hereof.
Section 17. Reporting Requirements. Purchaser and Seller shall each deposit such other instruments required to close the escrow and consummate the purchase and sale of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof, including, without limitation, an agreement designating the Title Company as the “Reporting Person” for the transaction pursuant to Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and executed
32
by Seller, Purchaser and the Title Company, but in no event shall such instruments impose, create or potentially create any liability for Seller or Purchaser not expressly provided for herein. Such agreement shall comply with the requirements of Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
Section 18. Miscellaneous.
18.1 This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties and supersedes any other previous agreement, oral or written, between the parties. This Agreement cannot be changed, modified, waived or terminated orally but only by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, personal representatives and permitted successors and assigns, subject, however, to limitations set forth herein regarding assignments of this Agreement.
18.2 In the event of a default by either party hereto which becomes the subject of litigation, the losing party agrees to pay the reasonable legal fees of the prevailing party. For purposes of this Section, a party will be considered to be the “prevailing party” if (a) such party initiated the litigation and substantially obtained the relief which it sought (whether by judgment, voluntary agreement or action of the other party, trial, or alternative dispute resolution process), (b) such party did not initiate the litigation and either (i) received a judgment in its favor, or (ii) did not receive judgment in its favor, but the party receiving the judgment did not substantially obtain the relief which it sought, or (c) the other party to the litigation withdrew its claim or action without having substantially received the relief which it was seeking. The provision of this Section shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.
18.3 This Agreement may be executed by facsimile, by email (in “.pdf” format) and/or in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
18.4 This Agreement shall be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
18.5 The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not constitute substantive matters to be considered in construing same.
18.6 The parties agree that neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or notice thereof shall be recorded.
18.7 This Agreement may be assigned by Purchaser in whole (but not in part) to an affiliate of Purchaser which Purchaser controls or which is under common control with Purchaser, without the prior written consent of the Seller provided, that Seller, within no less than three (3) business days prior to Closing, shall have received written notice of such assignment(s) together with an executed copy of each assignment and assumption instrument pursuant to which Purchaser assigns all of its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement to the assignee(s) (including all rights to the Deposit) and the assignee(s) assume and agree to be bound by all of the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement. No assignment of this
33
Agreement shall release Purchaser herein; provided, however, with respect to any assignment, if Closing occurs the assigning party (but not the assignee) shall be relieved of all its obligations arising under this Agreement before, on and after Closing. For purposes of this Section 18.7, “control” shall mean the authority to make management decisions regarding the day-to-day operations of the entity and co-authority with respect to customary major decisions.
18.8 Submission of this form of Agreement for examination shall not bind Seller or Purchaser in any manner nor be construed as an offer to sell and no contract or obligations of Seller or Purchaser shall arise until this Agreement is executed by both Seller and Purchaser and delivery is made to each and the Deposit has been made by Purchaser.
18.9 Each of the parties agrees that upon request from the other party following the Closing and without further consideration, such party shall do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts or instruments as shall be reasonably requested by a party in order to effect or carryout the transactions contemplated herein provided same do not impose any obligations or liabilities upon the party not contemplated in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 18.9 shall survive the Closing.
18.10 If the final date of any period set forth herein (including, but not limited to, the Closing Date) falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the State of Arizona, or the United States of America, the final date of such period shall be extended to the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. The term “days” as used herein shall mean calendar days, with the exception of “business days”, which term shall mean each day except for any Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the State of New York, or the United States of America.
Section 19. Confidentiality. All Property Information provided by Seller or its agents and representatives to Purchaser with respect to the Property (“Confidential Information”) shall be treated as confidential information by Purchaser, using the same degree of care with respect to the Confidential Information as Purchaser employs with respect to its own proprietary or confidential information of like importance and make no use of any such disclosed information not independently known to Purchaser except in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may disclose Confidential Information (i) to its respective consultants, investors, lenders, appraisers, attorneys, accountants, advisers, and affiliates (collectively, “Related Parties”), provided the Purchaser shall advise each parties of the confidential nature of such information and that such parties are required to maintain the confidentiality thereof, and (ii) to the extent Purchaser is required to disclose the same pursuant to a court order, applicable laws or regulations or pursuant to a legal dispute between Purchaser and Seller. Purchaser and the Related Parties shall not be obligated to keep confidential any Confidential Information that (1) is already in the public domain, (2) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Purchaser, or (3) is or becomes available to Purchaser on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller who, to Purchaser’s knowledge, is not subject to a confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation of secrecy to, Seller prohibiting such disclosure. Purchaser’s obligations under the foregoing provisions of this Section shall terminate on the earlier of (x) twelve months from the Effective Date, or (y) the Closing Date. Except as required by applicable law, each party agrees
34
that it shall not publicize this transaction after the Closing without the prior written approval of the other party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. This provision shall survive Closing.
Section 20. Time of Essence. With respect to each party’s performance of each of its respective obligations under this Agreement involving a date for performance, whether expressly stated herein or pursuant to an extension or adjournment right, as the case may be, including, without limitation, Closing, TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE.
Section 21. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 22. Rights of First Refusal. If any of the Leases contain tenant rights of first refusal or rights of first offer to purchase the Property (either such right, a “ROFR”), Seller shall deliver a written right of first refusal or offer notice to the applicable Tenant in accordance with the requirements of the applicable ROFR within five (5) days after the Effective Date. Seller agrees that if any Tenant gives notice of its intent to exercise its ROFR under its Lease or does actually exercise such ROFR, this Agreement shall be deemed to terminate, provided that Purchaser shall receive a full return of the Deposit and Seller shall promptly reimburse to Purchaser all reasonable out-of-pocket and third party property diligence expenses incurred by Purchaser, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
Section 23. Tenant Audit Right. In the event that any Tenant has the right to inspect and audit the books, records and other documents of the landlord under its Lease which evidence the purchase price of the Property, the development and construction costs of the improvements, and/or common area maintenance costs and expenses, Seller hereby covenants and agrees that it shall retain such books, records and other documents which will enable such Tenant to conduct a full and complete audit thereof until the date that is six (6) months after the latest date that such Tenant could demand an inspection and/or audit thereof pursuant to its Lease and, upon written request therefor from Purchaser, or any successor or assign, thereof, shall provide both Purchaser and such Tenant with reasonable access thereto and otherwise reasonably cooperate with both Purchaser and such Tenant with respect to such inspection and/or audit by such Tenant. In the event such Tenant claims any right to a credit, refund or other reimbursement as a result of such audit, Seller shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Indemnified Parties from any and all Claims relating thereto or arising therefrom. The provisions of this Section 23 shall survive Closing.
Section 24. SEC S-X 3-14 Audit. In order to enable Purchaser to comply with reporting requirements, Seller agrees to provide Purchaser and its representatives information sufficient for Purchaser to comply with SEC Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, including Seller’s most current financial statements relating to the financial operation of the Property for the current fiscal year and the most recent pre-acquisition fiscal year, and upon request, support for certain operating revenues and expenses specific to the Property. Seller understands that certain of such financial information may be included in filings required to be made by Purchaser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This Section 24 shall survive Closing for a period of one (1) year.
35
Section 25. New Leases.
25.1 Purchaser acknowledges that Seller is in negotiations with Value Depot and Mama Xxxxx’x BBQ for leases of Suite L (4,365 square feet) and Suite G5 (1,550 square feet), respectively, at the Property. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has provided Purchaser with copies of the letters of intent entered into by Seller for such new leases. Purchaser hereby approves the terms set forth in such letters of intent, provided that the final terms and conditions of such leases shall remain subject to the approval of Purchaser, not to be unreasonably withheld.
25.2 In the event that an approved Lease is entered into by Seller with Mama Xxxxx’x BBQ or Value Depot prior to Closing:
25.2.1. Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the sum of (i) any unpaid or undisbursed portion of any third party leasing commissions, tenant improvement allowance or other allowances, and other out-of-pocket expenses required to be paid by the landlord in connection with such Lease (collectively, “Leasing Costs”), and (ii) pro forma rent (including base rent and triple net charges), at the monthly rate provided for in such Lease for the first full lease year following the rental commencement date and the expiration of any applicable abatements or concessions, for the period commencing on the date of Closing and continuing until the last day of the month in which payment of full base rent and triple net charges are projected to commence under such Lease (“Stub Rent”).
25.2.2. Following the Closing, if the actual rent commencement date under such Lease (the “Actual Rent Commencement Date”) occurs before the projected rent commencement date (the “Projected Rent Commencement Date”), Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the difference between the Stub Rent credit received by Purchaser at Closing and the amount that the Stub Rent credit would have been if the Projected Rent Commencement Date for such Lease had been the same as the Actual Rent Commencement Date. If, however, the Actual Rent Commencement Date under such Lease does not occur on or before the Projected Rent Commencement Date, then from and after the Projected Rent Commencement Date Seller shall pay to Purchaser, on the first day of each month following the Projected Rent Commencement Date until the Actual Rent Commencement Date occurs, additional pro forma rent (including base rent and triple net charges) at the monthly rate set forth above (“Additional Stub Rent”); provided, however, such Additional Stub Rent shall be pro rated for the calendar month in which the Actual Rent Commencement Date occurs under such Lease.
25.2.3. Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for any improvements required to be constructed by the Landlord pursuant to the terms of any Lease entered into with Mama Xxxxx’x BBQ or Value Depot in order to bring the applicable space to “white box” condition, as described in the approved letters of intent with Mama Xxxxx’x BBQ and Value Depot (such improvements being herein referred to as the “Landlord Improvements”). Following the Closing, Seller and its contractors and subcontractors shall have a license to enter the applicable space for the purpose of constructing the Landlord Improvements. Any construction undertaken by Seller shall be diligently undertaken and performed in a good and workmanlike manner, with new materials, free of all liens, in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances and regulations governing construction,
36
and in a manner which will not unreasonably interfere with the occupancy of the other tenants of the Property or otherwise unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Property. Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, its successors and assigns, from and against any loss, cost, liability, damage or expense to the extent arising from construction of the Landlord Improvements by Seller or its contractors, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Purchaser, its agents, contractors or representatives.
25.2.4. Following the Closing and prior to commencing or continuing construction of any Landlord Improvements, Seller shall obtain or require its contractor to obtain and deliver to Purchaser evidence of, and thereafter maintain so long as such construction activity is occurring, at least the minimum insurance coverages set forth below:
(a) Commercial General Liability insurance covering all operations by or on behalf of the Seller and its contractor(s), in an amount no less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, naming Purchaser as an additional insured, covering personal injury liability, premises and operations, products and completed operations, broad form property damage (including completed operations), explosions, collapse, and underground hazards, and contractual liability;
(b) Automobile liability insurance coverage including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned automobiles, with limits of not less than $500,000 combined single limit each accident for bodily injury or property damage;
(c) Worker’s compensation and employer’s liability insurance; and
(d) Fire and extended coverage insurance with respect to the applicable premises, naming Purchaser as the insured, in the so-called “Builder’s Risk 100% Completed Value Non-Reporting” form.
25.2.5. This Section 25 shall survive the Closing.
Section 26. Master Leases.
26.1 In the event that an approved Lease is not entered into with Mama Xxxxx’x BBQ for Suite G5 prior to Closing, then at Closing Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Master Lessee”), an affiliate of Seller, shall enter into an agreement with Purchaser pursuant to which Master Lessee shall master lease such premises from Purchaser for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date (the “Master Lease Period”) upon the following terms and conditions:
26.1.1. Master Lessee shall provide an allowance to Purchaser in the amount of up to $345,000 with respect to base rent, real estate taxes, operating expenses, and insurance costs attributable to Suite G5 during the Master Lease Period (the “Suite G5 Rent Allowance”), as well as an allowance of up to $105,000 for Leasing Costs (as defined in Section 25.2.1 above) in connection with the leasing of such premises (the “Suite G5 Leasing Cost Allowance”).
37
26.1.2. Commencing on the date of Closing, and thereafter on the first day of each subsequent month during the Master Lease Period, Master Lessee shall pay to Purchaser the sum of $5,762.00, or an appropriate pro rata portion thereof for any partial month (the “Suite G5 Master Lease Rent”), in payment of base rent, real estate taxes, operating expenses, and insurance costs allocable to Suite G5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser enters into a Lease with a third party for Suite G5 at any time during the Master Lease Period, then from and after the date on which the tenant under such Lease commences payment of rent until the end of the Master Lease Period, Master Lessee shall be obligated to pay only the amount of the shortfall, if any, between (x) the amount of base rent and triple net charges payable by such third party tenant under such Lease, and (y) the Suite G5 Master Lease Rent, and Master Lessee shall be released of any additional liability with respect to Suite G5 Master Lease Rent (regardless of whether the third party tenant thereafter actually pays the amounts due under its Lease).
26.1.3. In the event that Purchaser enters into a Lease of Suite G5 with a third party during the Master Lease Period, Master Lessee shall reimburse Purchaser for any Leasing Costs incurred by Purchaser in connection with such Lease, up to the amount of the Suite G5 Leasing Cost Allowance. Such reimbursement shall be paid by Master Lessee to Purchaser within five (5) business days after Master Lessee’s receipt of a reimbursement request for such costs from Purchaser, together with copies of invoices or other documentation evidencing such costs. If Suite G5 is fully leased to a third party tenant during the Master Lease Period and the Leasing Costs attributable to such space are less than the full amount of the Suite G5 Leasing Cost Allowance, the Master Lessee shall be entitled to retain the unused portion of the Suite G5 Leasing Cost Allowance. To the extent Suite G5 is not fully leased within the Master Lease Period, however, any unused portion of the Suite G5 Leasing Allowance shall be paid to Purchaser by the Master Lessee at the expiration of the Master Lease Period.
26.2 In the event that an approved Lease is not entered into with Value Depot for Suite L prior to Closing, then at Closing Master Lessee shall enter into an agreement with Purchaser pursuant to which Master Lessee shall master lease such premises from Purchaser for the Master Lease Period upon the following terms and conditions:
26.2.1. Master Lessee shall provide an allowance to Purchaser in the amount of up to $1,000,000 with respect to rents, real estate taxes, operating expenses, and insurance costs attributable to Suite L during the Master Lease Period (the “Suite L Rent Allowance”), as well as an allowance of up to $200,000 for Leasing Costs in connection with the leasing of such premises (the “Suite L Leasing Cost Allowance”).
26.2.2. Commencing on the date of Closing, and thereafter at the beginning of each subsequent month during the Master Lease Period, Master Lessee shall pay to Purchaser the sum of $16,871.00, or an appropriate pro rata portion thereof for any partial month (the “Suite L Master Lease Rent”), in payment of base rent, real estate taxes, operating expenses, and insurance costs allocable to Suite L. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser enters into a Lease with a third party for Suite L at any time during the Master Lease Period, then from and after the date on which the tenant under such Lease commences payment of rent until the end of the Master Lease Period, Master Lessee shall be obligated to pay only the amount of the shortfall, if any, between (x) the amount of base rent and triple net charges payable by such third
38
party tenant under such Lease, and (y) the Suite L Master Lease Rent, and Master Lessee shall be released of any additional liability with respect to the Suite L Master Lease Rent (regardless of whether the third party tenant thereafter actually pays the amount due under its Lease).
26.2.3. In the event that Purchaser enters into a Lease of Suite L with a third party tenant during the Master Lease Period, Master Lessee shall reimburse Purchaser for any Leasing Cost incurred by Purchaser in connection with such Lease, up to the amount of the Suite L Leasing Cost Allowance. Such reimbursement shall be paid by Master Lessee to Purchaser within five (5) business days after Master Lessee’s receipt of a reimbursement request for such costs from Purchaser, together with copies of invoices or other documentation evidencing such costs. If Suite L is fully leased to one or more third party tenants during the Master Lease Period and the Leasing Costs attributable to such space are less than the full amount of the Suite L Leasing Cost Allowance, the Master Lessee shall be entitled to retain the unused portion of the Suite L Leasing Cost Allowance. To the extent Suite L is not fully leased within the Master Lease Period, however, any unused portion of the Suite L Leasing Cost Allowance shall be paid to Purchaser by the Master Lessee at the expiration of the Master Lease Period.
26.3 During the Master Lease Period, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to market and lease any premises which are master leased pursuant to this Section 26 (the “Master Leased Space”) in accordance with sound, reasonable and prudent leasing practices. Purchaser agrees that all new Leases of Master Leased Space entered into by Purchaser during the Master Lease Period shall be on market terms, including, without limitation, with respect to any “free rent” or reduced rent periods or other concessions provided under or in connection with such new Leases. Promptly after execution thereof, and in any event upon request, Purchaser shall provide Master Lessee with a copy of any Lease of the Master Leased Space executed by Purchaser during the Master Lease Period.
26.4 During the Master Lease Period Master Lessee shall have the non-exclusive right, but not the obligation, either directly or through Master Lessee’s agents, to solicit prospective tenants for the Master Leased Space. Purchaser shall approve or disapprove of any letter of intent or lease proposed by Master Lessee within ten (10) calendar days after receipt by Purchaser of a request for approval from Master Lessee. Approval of any such proposed letter of intent or lease shall be within Purchaser’s discretion, provided that Purchaser shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any such proposed letter of intent or lease so long as the letter of intent or proposed lease meets the leasing guidelines attached hereto as Schedule “26.4”. If Purchaser does not approve or disapprove a proposed lease or letter of intent within the ten (10) day approval period described above, such letter of intent or proposed lease shall be deemed approved.
26.5 Master Lessee, at Master Lessee’s sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for any Landlord Improvements required to be constructed by the Landlord pursuant to the terms of any Lease of the Master Leased Space. Subject to (i) Purchaser’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) of the contractor for the Landlord Improvements, and (ii) Purchaser’s execution of an approved Lease for the applicable space, Master Lessee and its contractors and subcontractors shall have a license to enter the applicable space for the purpose of constructing the Landlord Improvements. Any construction undertaken by Master Lessee shall be diligently
39
undertaken and performed in a good and workmanlike manner, with new materials, free of all liens, in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances and regulations governing construction, and in a manner which will not unreasonably interfere with the occupancy of the other tenants of the Property or otherwise unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Property. Master Lessee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, its successors and assigns, from and against any loss, cost, liability, damage or expense to the extent arising from construction of the Landlord Improvements by Master Lessee or its contractor, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Purchaser, its agents, contractors or representatives.
26.6 Prior to commencing construction of any Landlord Improvements, Master Lessee shall obtain or require its contractor to obtain and deliver to Purchaser evidence of, and thereafter maintain so long as such construction activity is occurring, at least the minimum insurance coverages set forth in Section 25.2.4 above.
26.7 Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as may be expressly set forth to the contrary in this Section 26, Master Lessee shall have no obligations or liabilities with respect to the Master Leased Space, including, without limitation, any obligation relating to (i) utilities, (ii) occupying the Master Leased Space or conducting any business therein, (iii) repair, restoration, replacement or maintenance of the Master Leased Space, (iv) compliance with any applicable laws, rules, regulations or orders of any governmental authority (including, without limitation, any of the foregoing as they may relate to Hazardous Materials), and (v) maintenance of insurance pertaining to the Master Leased Space.
26.8 At Closing, Purchaser and Master Lessee shall enter into Master Lease(s) which incorporates the applicable terms of this Section 26.
Section 27. Jake’s Rental Support.
27.1 At Closing, Seller shall deliver an agreement from the Master Lessee to Purchaser with respect to the Lease to Jake’s Wayback Hamburgers (the “Jake’s Lease”) providing as follows (the “Jake’s Rental Support Obligation”)
27.1.1. If for any monthly period (or partial monthly period) between the date of Closing and the first (1st) anniversary of the date of Closing (the “Jake’s Rental Support Period”), Jake’s Wayback Hamburgers (“Jake’s”) fails to pay the full amount of rent (including CAM, tax, and insurance contributions) when and as due under the terms of its Lease, and provided such failure continues after all applicable notice and cure periods set forth in the Jake’s Lease have been exhausted by Purchaser, then Master Lessee shall pay to Purchaser upon demand the unpaid amount due for such month (or an appropriate pro rata portion thereof for any partial calendar month period) under the Jake’s Lease. The liability of Master Lessee pursuant to the Jake’s Rental Support Obligation shall reduce as a result of each payment of rent made by Jake’s to Purchaser applicable to the Jake’s Rental Support Period. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the rent due from Jake’s during the Jake’s Rental Support Period, notwithstanding any payment by the Master Lessee pursuant to this Section 27. In the event Master Lessee makes a payment to Purchaser under the Jake’s Rental Support Obligation and Jake’s later pays said amount to Purchaser, Purchaser shall promptly refund to
40
Master Lessee the amount previously paid by Master Lessee. In the event any amounts due from Jake’s under the Jake’s Lease are abated due to casualty or condemnation, Master Lessee’s obligation under the Jake’s Rental Support Obligation shall be abated accordingly. In no event shall Master Lessee have any liability to Purchaser for rent payments which are due under the Jake’s Lease after the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date.
27.1.2. In order to draw upon the Jake’s Rental Support Obligation, Purchaser shall deliver written notice to Master Lessee certifying that Purchaser has exhausted all notice and cure periods under the Jake’s Lease for the applicable month and the amount of any payment shortfall for such month (a “Deficiency Notice”). Master Lessee shall pay the specified amount to Purchaser within five (5) business days after receipt of such Deficiency Notice.
27.1.3. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 27.1.2 above, if the Closing occurs after the tenth (10th) day of the calendar month of Closing and Seller has not received payment of the monthly rent due from Jake’s for such calendar month, Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for its pro rata share of such monthly rent, which credit shall be applied against the Jake’s Rental Support Obligation.
