2. Purchase Price.
Subject to the charges, prorations and other adjustments set forth in this Agreement, the total Purchase Price of the Property shall be One Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($150,000,000) (“Purchase Price”) payable as follows:
2.1 | Deposit/Further Payments/Down Payment. |
2.1.1 | Within two (2) business days of the Effective Date, Buyer shall deposit into Escrow the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Initial Deposit”), in the form of a wire transfer payable to Fidelity National Title Company, 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, XX 00000, Attn: Xxxxxxx Xxxx, telephone (000) 000-0000 (“Escrow Holder”). In the event Buyer acquires the Property, the Initial Deposit shall be applied towards the Purchase Price. |
2.1.2 | It is understood and agreed that the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) of the Initial Deposit (the “Nonrefundable Portion”) shall be deemed earned by Seller as of the date it is deposited with Escrow Holder. The Nonrefundable Portion (as part of the Deposit) will be applied to the Purchase Price at Closing, provided, however, the Nonrefundable Portion will be refunded to Buyer in the event there is a failure of a Buyer’s condition precedent as set forth in Section 10.1 of this Agreement. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Buyer’s condition precedent set forth in Subsection 10.1.4 (closing of the Loan Assumption) is not satisfied, Seller shall only be entitled to retain the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) of the Deposit, and the entire remainder of the Deposit (including, without limitation, $150,000 of the Nonrefundable Portion) shall be refunded to Buyer in accordance with the terms of Section 10 of this Agreement. |
2.1.3 | Within one (1) business day following the last day of the Inspection Period (as defined in Section 6.1 below), and provided that Buyer has delivered an Approval Notice (as defined in Section 6.1 below), Buyer shall deposit into Escrow the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Additional Deposit”), in the form of a wire transfer payable to Escrow Holder. Escrow Holder shall place the Additional Deposit into an interest bearing money market account at a bank or other financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, and interest thereon shall be credited to Buyer’s account. The Initial Deposit, and to the extent it has been deposited, the Additional Deposit, shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Deposit”). |
2.2 | Subject to the terms of this Section 2.2, Buyer shall assume at Closing the loan in the original principal amount of Ninety Million Dollars ($90,000,000), which currently encumbers the Property (the “Loan”). The Loan was originally made by LaSalle Bank National Association (together with its successors, the “Lender”), and is evidenced and/or secured by a number of documents which are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”. |
2.2.1 | The Lender’s consent and approval is required before the Buyer will be permitted to assume the Loan, and it is understood and agreed that the closing of the assumption of the Loan (“Loan Assumption”) on the terms set forth in loan assumption agreement to be executed and delivered by Buyer (or Buyer’s successor) and Lender prior to Closing shall be a condition to Closing hereunder. Seller acknowledges that Buyer will be requesting Lender’s consent to the Loan Assumption by a single purpose entity formed to purchase the Property which entity may include as members, directly or indirectly, Buyer, a co-investor and/or a preferred equity provider. Any guaranty which may be required in connection with the Loan Assumption, will be provided by Buyer or an affiliate of or co-venturer of Buyer which has sufficient net worth to satisfy the Lender’s reasonable requirements, but in no event will any individual provide a guaranty of the Loan. Buyer confirms that it is Buyer’s intent to form a venture to acquire the Property with a co-investor in a preferred equity or similar structure, provided, however, if Lender does not approve the Loan Assumption with such newly formed venture as the buyer/borrower, Buyer will then seek Lender’s approval of the Loan Assumption with a single purpose entity formed by Buyer (without the preferred equity/venture structure) as the buyer/borrower. |
2.2.2 | Seller acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall pay any assumption fees and any and all other costs, fees or expenses (other than Buyer’s own legal fees) in connection with attempting to obtain Lender’s approval of the assumption of the Loan and, if the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is consummated, in connection with the assumption of the Loan (collectively, the “Loan Assumption Related Fees”). In connection with such approval, the parties shall diligently, promptly and in good faith attempt to obtain such approval and both parties will supply the information reasonably requested by Lender with respect to such approval. Further, Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause Lender to confirm in connection with the Loan Assumption that no breach or default (nor any event which with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute a breach or default) has occurred under the Loan Documents, and to obtain Lender’s agreement to look solely to Seller with respect to any obligations arising under the Loan Documents prior to Closing, provided, however that the failure of the Lender to make such confirmation or agreement shall not be deemed a Seller default or a failure of a condition precedent to this Agreement.. |
2.2.3 | Except for the payment of any Loan Assumption Related Fees, which Seller shall be responsible for paying to Lender, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender within fifteen (15) business days following the Effective Date a package containing all information initially requested by Lender regarding Buyer and Buyer’s proposed acquisition of the Property and the related Loan assumption. Such package will in any event be submitted to Lender within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date. Furthermore, if Lender requires the submission of additional documents or information, Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly assemble the necessary information and make the required submissions. Buyer agrees to proceed with diligence to obtain Lender’s consent to the Loan Assumption. Seller agrees to cooperate with and reasonably assist Buyer’s efforts to obtain Lender’s approval of the Loan Assumption. |
2.3 | On or before Closing, Buyer shall deposit into Escrow the balance of the Purchase Price (subject to adjustments and prorations as set forth herein), by wire transfer payable to Escrow Holder. |
3. Title to Property.
During the Inspection Period (hereafter defined) Buyer shall review and approve the Title Documents (hereinafter defined) and the Survey (hereinafter defined). If the Title Documents or Survey reflect or disclose any defect, exception or other matter affecting the Property (“Title Defects”) that is unacceptable to Buyer, then prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall provide Seller with written notice (“Title Notice”) of Buyer’s objections. Seller may, at its sole option, elect to cure or remove the objections made by Buyer. Should Seller elect to attempt to cure or remove the objection, it shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to acquire the Property that Seller cures such title objection prior to the Closing. Unless Seller provides written notice to Buyer, within five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, that Seller intends to cure Buyer’s title objections, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure or remove Buyer’s title objections, and Buyer shall be entitled, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy to either (a) not deliver an Approval Notice as referenced herein, in which case the Additional Deposit shall not be submitted by Buyer; or (b) elect to waive the objections and close this transaction as otherwise contemplated herein. If Buyer shall fail to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3, all matters shown on the Survey and all matters described in the Title Report, except for (x) monetary liens (other than the Loan Documents, as modified pursuant to the Loan Assumption), which were not created by the Buyer; and (y) any matters the Seller has agreed to cure in writing, shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions.” The Loan Documents, as modified pursuant to the Loan Assumption, shall be Permitted Exceptions. If Buyer is notified of any new Title Defect (which was not disclosed to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period) following the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall have five (5) days from the date of such notification to deliver a Title Notice with respect to any such new Title Defect and Seller shall have five (5) business days to respond to Buyer’s Title Notice with respect to such new Title Defects. If Buyer does not elect to cure such new Title Defects, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller within ten (10) business days following Buyer’s delivery of such new Title Notice.

Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection with the prosecution of any such proceedings and to take all steps, whether before or after the Closing, as may be necessary to carry out the intention of this subparagraph, including the delivery to Seller, upon demand, of any relevant books and records, including receipted tax bills and cancelled checks used in payment of such taxes, the execution of any and all consent or other documents, and the undertaking of any acts necessary for the collection of such refund by Seller. Buyer agrees that, as a condition to the transfer of the Property by Buyer, Buyer will cause any transferee to assume the obligations set forth herein. Tax records need not be kept longer than seven years.
(b) Rents. Buyer will receive a credit at the Closing for all rents collected by Seller prior to the Closing and allocable to the period from and after the Closing based upon the actual number of days in the month. No credit shall be given the Seller for accrued and unpaid rent or any other non-current sums due from Tenants until these sums are paid. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller after the Closing to collect any rent under the Tenant Leases which has accrued as of the Closing; provided, however, Buyer shall not be obligated to xxx any Tenants or exercise any legal remedies under the Tenant Leases or to incur any expense over and above its own regular collection expenses. All payments collected from Tenants after the Closing shall first be applied to the month in which the Closing occurs, then to any rent due to Buyer for the period after Closing and finally to any rent due to Seller for the period prior to Closing. Seller shall not engage in collection efforts post-closing.
(c) CAM Expense. To the extent that Tenants are reimbursing the landlord for common area maintenance and other operating expenses (collectively, “CAM Charges”), CAM Charges shall be prorated at Closing and again subsequent to Closing, as of the date of Closing on a lease-by-lease basis with each party being entitled to receive a portion of the CAM Charges payable under each Lease for the CAM Lease Year in which Closing occurs, which portion shall be equal to the actual CAM Charges incurred during the party’s respective periods of ownership of the Property during the CAM Lease Year. As used herein, the term “CAM Lease Year” means the twelve (12) month period as to which annual CAM Charges are owed under each Lease. Five (5) days prior to Closing the Seller shall submit to Buyer an itemization of its actual CAM Charges operating expenses through such date and the amount of CAM Charges received by the Seller as of such date, together with an estimate of CAM Charges to be incurred to, but not including, the Closing. In the event that the Seller has received CAM Charges payments in excess of its actual CAM Charges operating expenses, the Buyer shall be entitled to receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the excess. In the event that the Seller has received CAM Charges payments less than its actual CAM Charges operating expenses, to the extent that the Leases provide for a “true up” at the end of the CAM Lease Year, the Seller shall be entitled to receive any deficit but only after the Buyer has received any true up payment from the Tenant. Upon receipt by either party of any CAM Charge true up payment from a Tenant, the party receiving the same shall provide to the other party its allocable share of the “true up” payment within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof.
(d) Operating Expenses. All operating expenses (including all charges under the service contracts and agreements assumed by Buyer) shall be prorated, and as to each service provider, operating expenses payable or paid to such service provider in respect to the billing period of such service provider in which the Closing occurs (the “Current Billing Period”), shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the Current Billing Period prior to the Closing and the number of days in the Current Billing Period from and after the Closing, and assuming that all charges are incurred uniformly during the Current Billing Period. If actual bills for the Current Billing Period are unavailable as of the Closing, then such proration shall be made on an estimated basis based upon the most recently issued bills, subject to readjustment upon receipt of actual bills.
(e) Security Deposits; Prepaid Rents. Prepaid rentals and other tenant charges and security deposits (including any portion thereof which may be designated as prepaid rent) under Tenant Leases, if and to the extent that such deposits are in Seller’s actual possession or control and have not been otherwise applied by Seller to any obligations of any Tenants under the Tenant Leases, shall be credited against the Purchase Price, and upon the Closing, Buyer shall assume full responsibility for all security deposits to be refunded to the Tenants under the Tenant Leases (to the extent the same are required to be refunded by the terms of such Tenant Leases or applicable). In the event that any security deposits are in the form of letters of credit or other financial instruments (the “Non-Cash Security Deposits”), Seller will cooperate with Buyer to have Buyer named as beneficiary under the Non-Cash Security Deposits; and Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of any letter of credit transfer fees which are not required to be paid by tenants under the terms of their Leases. Buyer will not receive a credit against the Purchase Price for such security deposits. Seller will cause each original letter of credit and all necessary original transfer documentation to be placed into Escrow so that Buyer is named as Beneficiary thereunder effective as of Closing, and the original letter of credit in Buyer’s name is delivered to Buyer immediately following Closing, or if for any reason such timing is not possible, Seller will cooperate with Buyer and place into Escrow such documentation as may be necessary to cause any such letter of credit to be issued in Buyer’s name immediately following Closing.
(f) Leasing Costs. Seller shall receive a credit at the Closing for all leasing costs, including tenant improvement costs and allowances, and its pro-rata leasing commissions, previously paid by Seller in connection with any Lease or modification to an existing Lease which was entered into after the Effective Date and which is approved or deemed approved by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, which approval included approval of the tenant improvement costs. The Seller’s pro-rata share shall be equal to a fraction which has as its numerator the number of months left in the base term of the Lease after the Closing and which has as its denominator the number of months in the base term of the Lease. Seller shall pay for all tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions and other leasing costs with respect to the premises leased as of the Effective Date by the Tenants pursuant to the Tenant Leases in effect as of the Effective Date, and will grant to Buyer a credit toward the Purchase Price at Closing for any such improvement allowances, free rent, leasing commissions or other leasing costs which are unpaid as of the Closing or apply to periods after the Closing, but only if and to the extent such leasing costs were not shown in the property revenue proforma as delivered to Buyer prior to the Effective Date. For purposes of clarification only, it is understood and agreed that Buyer will receive a credit at closing for any tenant improvement costs (as determined and agreed upon by Buyer and Seller), tenant improvement allowances or leasing commissions attributable to Leases in effect as of the Effective Date which remain unpaid or outstanding as of the date of Closing, and, in connection with any such credits granted to Buyer at Closing, Seller and Buyer shall agree upon the terms of Buyer’s assumption of the legal and monetary responsibility for such work and/or obligations arising from and after Closing.
(g) Percentage Rent. Any percentage rents due or paid under any of the Leases (“Percentage Rent”) shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller outside of Closing as of the Closing on a Lease-by-Lease basis, as follows; (a) Seller shall be entitled to receive the portion of the Percentage Rent under each Lease for the Lease Year in which Closing occurs, which portion shall be the ratio of the number of days of said Lease Year in which Seller was Landlord under the Lease to the total number of days in the Lease Year, and (b) Buyer shall receive the balance of Percentage Rent paid under each Lease for the Lease Year. As used herein, the term “Lease Year” means the twelve (12) month period as to which annual Percentage Rent is owed under each Lease. Upon receipt by either Buyer or Seller of any gross sales reports (“Gross Sales Reports”) and any full or partial payment of Percentage Rent from any tenant of the Property, the party receiving the same shall provide to the other party a copy of the Gross Sales Report and a check for the other party’s prorata share of the Percentage Rent within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof. In the event that the Tenant only remits a partial payment, then the amount to be remitted to the other party shall be its prorata share of the partial payment. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to require either Buyer to Seller to pay to the other party its prorata share of the Percentage Rent prior to receiving the Percentage Rent from the Tenant, and the acceptance or negotiation of any check for Percentage Rent by either party shall not be deemed a waiver of that party’s right to contest the accuracy or amount of the Percentage Rent paid by the Tenant.
(h) Loan Assumption Matters. Interest and any required principal payments due in the month of Closing on the Loan shall be ratably prorated. Seller shall receive a credit in the amount of any impounds or deposits with Lender if the same are assigned to Buyer at Closing. Buyer shall receive a credit for any amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents with respect to periods prior to Closing to the extent such amounts remain unpaid as of Closing.
7.7.2 | Calculation; Reproration. Prior to Closing the parties shall jointly prepare an estimated closing statement which shall set forth the costs payable under Sections 7.5 and 7.6 and the prorations and credits provided for in Subsection 7.7.1 and elsewhere in this Agreement. Any item which cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available and adjusted when the information is available in accordance with this subparagraph; provided, however, that there shall be no reproration for taxes and assessments. The estimated closing statement as adjusted as aforesaid and approved in writing by the parties shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Statement”. If the prorations and credits made under the Closing Statement shall prove to be incorrect or incomplete for any reason, then either party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same; provided, however, that there shall be no reproration for taxes and assessments; and further provided that any adjustment shall be made, if at all, within sixty (60) days after the Closing (except with respect to CAM Charges, in which case such adjustment shall be made within thirty (30) days after the information necessary to perform such adjustment is available and in no event later than April 2007 or such later date as may be reasonably agreed upon by the parties in light of when the Closing occurs), and if a party fails to request an adjustment to the Closing Statement by a written notice delivered to the other party within the applicable period set forth above (such notice to specify in reasonable detail the items within the Closing Statement that such party desires to adjust and the reasons for such adjustment), then the prorations and credits set forth in the Closing Statement shall be binding and conclusive against such party. |
7.7.3 | Items Not Prorated. Seller and Buyer agree that (a) none of the insurance policies relating to the Property will be assigned to Buyer and Buyer shall responsible for arranging for its own insurance as of the Closing; and (b) utilities, including telephone, electricity, water and gas, shall be read on the Closing and Buyer shall be responsible for all the necessary actions needed to arrange for utilities to be transferred to the name of Buyer on the Closing, including the posting of any required deposits and Seller shall be entitled to recover and retain from the providers of such utilities any refunds or overpayments to the extent applicable to the period prior to the Closing, and any utility deposits which it or its predecessors may have posted. Accordingly, there will be no prorations for insurance or utilities. In the event a meter reading is unavailable for any particular utility, such utility shall be prorated in the manner provided in subparagraph (1)(d) above. |
7.7.4 | Indemnification. Buyer and Seller shall each indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any claim in any way arising from the matters for which the other receives a credit or otherwise assumes responsibility pursuant to this Section. |
7.7.5 | Survival. This Section 7.7 shall survive the Closing, provided that all prorations shall be settled by April 2007 (or such later date as may be agreed upon by the parties in light of when the Closing occurs). |
7.8 | Determination of Dates of Performance. |
Promptly after delivery to Buyer of the Title Report, Escrow Holder shall prepare and deliver to Buyer and Seller a schedule which shall state each of the following dates:
7.8.1 | The date of Opening of Escrow pursuant to Section 6.1; |
7.8.2 | The date of receipt of the Title Report by Buyer; |
7.8.3 | The date by which title must be approved by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.2; |
7.8.4 | The date by which the Inspections must be approved by Buyer pursuant to Subsection 5.1.1; |
7.8.5 | The date by which the amounts described in Section 2 must be deposited by Buyer, for which determination Escrow Holder shall assume satisfaction of the condition expressed in Section 2 on the last date stated for its satisfaction; and |
7.8.6 | The date of Closing pursuant to Section 6.2. |
If any events which determine any of the aforesaid dates occur on a date other than the date specified or assumed for its occurrence in this Agreement, Escrow Holder shall promptly redetermine as appropriate each of the dates of performance in the aforesaid schedule and notify Buyer and Seller of the dates of performance, as redetermined.
8. Representations, Warranties, and Covenants.
8.1 | Representations of Seller. Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date hereof and as of the Closing as follows: |
8.1.1 | Seller is a limited partnership duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the State of California. Subject to receipt of the approval of the board of directors of G REIT, Inc., described in Section 10.2 of this Agreement, Seller has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. |
8.1.2 | Seller is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). |
8.1.3 | To Seller’s knowledge, no actions, suits, or proceedings are pending, or have been threatened by any organization, person, individual, or governmental agency that concerns or affects the Property or Seller’s right to perform its obligations hereunder. |
8.1.4 | To Seller’s knowledge, Seller has received no notice of any violations of law, municipal or county ordinances, or other legal requirements with respect to the Property, including any legal requirements with respect to the use, occupancy or construction of the Improvements. |
8.1.5 | To Seller’s knowledge, attached hereto as Exhibit D is a complete and accurate list of all Contracts, and neither Seller nor any provider under any of the Contracts has asserted any breach or default thereunder. |
8.1.6 | To Seller’s knowledge, attached hereto as Exhibit E is a complete and accurate list of all Leases and except as provided in Exhibit E, no material breach or default exists under the Leases and all security for the Leases remains in place as shown as Exhibit E. Further, to Seller’s knowledge and except as provided in Exhibit H, no leasing costs (leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs or allowances, free rent or other concessions) remain outstanding with respect to the current term of any of the existing Leases which will not be satisfied as of Closing. |
8.1.7 | Seller has delivered to Buyer a true, correct and complete copy of all Loan Documents, and all material correspondence, notices and memoranda in Buyer’s possession relating to the Loan have been delivered or otherwise made available to Buyer for review. Seller confirms that the primary loan documents consist of the documents listed in Exhibit I attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Loan Documents are in full force and effect and no monetary breach or default exists with respect to any of the Loan Documents (nor any event which with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute a monetary breach or default thereunder). Further, Seller confirms that (i) it has received no written notice of a breach or default by Seller under the Loan Documents, and (ii) it has no actual knowledge of any breach or default by Lender under the Loan Documents, and (iii) Seller is not aware of having committed an act or omitted to take an act that constitutes a breach or default by Seller under the loan agreements, or with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute a breach or default by Seller under the loan agreements. |
As used in this Agreement, the phrase “Seller’s knowledge” or similar phrase shall mean the actual knowledge, without the duty of investigation, of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, asset manager of the Property and Xxxx Arch, regional manager for Seller. It shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close that no representation or warranty shall have changed prior to Closing in such a way that constitutes a Material Adverse Change (hereafter defined). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Material Adverse Change” is a change in the facts or circumstances underlying a Seller representation which does not arise out of or result from the negligent or wrongful act of Seller and which causes the value of the Property, as mutually agreed upon by the parties (and if the parties cannot agree, as determined by a mutually third party appraiser), to decrease by at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). If a Material Adverse Change occurs, Buyer shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to either (a) proceed with the acquisition without modification of the Purchase Price, or (b) terminate this Agreement and recover the Deposit (including the Nonrefundable Portion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that this provision relates to a change outside of Seller’s control. If it is determined that Seller breached a representation or warranty when made, such breach shall entitle Buyer to terminate this Agreement and recover the entire Deposit (including the Nonrefundable Portion).
8.2 | Approval of Property; Limitations on Seller Representations and Warranties. |
8.2.1 | Except as may be specifically provided in Section 8.4 of this Agreement, Seller makes no representations or warranties as to the truth, accuracy, completeness, methodology of preparation or otherwise concerning any engineering or environmental reports, audits, the materials prepared by the Seller, or any other materials, data or other information whatsoever supplied to Buyer in connection with Buyer’s inspection of the Property. It is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that such materials are provided only for Buyer’s convenience in making its own examination and determination prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period as to whether it wishes to purchase the Property, and, in doing so, Buyer shall rely exclusively on its own independent investigation and evaluation of every aspect of the Property and not on any materials supplied by Seller. Except as may be specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, Buyer expressly disclaims any intent to rely on any such materials provided to it by Seller in connection with its inspection and agrees that it shall rely solely on its own independently developed or verified information. Except with respect to all obligations in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Seller’s express representations and warranties) that are expressly stated to survive Closing, the indemnity provisions contained in the documents delivered in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Surviving Obligations”), Buyer hereby releases Seller and its agents, representatives, and employees from any and all claims, demands, and causes of action, past, present, and future that Buyer may have relating to (a) the condition of the Property at any time, before or after the Closing, including without limitation, the presence of any hazardous materials, or (b) any other matter pertaining to the Property, provided, however, in no event shall the foregoing release extend to (a) any breach of Seller’s representations or warranties set forth herein, (b) any breach by Seller of its obligations under this Agreement, or (c) any third party claims arising out of or resulting from events occurring prior to Closing to the extent covered by Seller’s insurance. This release shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement. |
8.2.2 | In the event of any breach by Seller of any of the preceding representations or warranties, Buyer’s sole remedy (in the event Buyer becomes aware of any such breach) shall be to elect in writing to terminate this Agreement (in which event Buyer shall be entitled to the Deposit and recovery of costs as set forth in Section 14.1), or waive such breach and proceed with the Closing. In the event of any material breach by Seller of any of such representations or warranties or any other material breach by Seller of any other provision of this Agreement or any agreement delivered in connection herewith discovered after Closing, Seller shall be liable only for direct and actual damages suffered by Buyer on account of Seller’s breach, up to the applicable limits described hereunder, and shall in no event be liable for consequential or punitive damages. Any liability of Seller hereunder for breach of any such representations or warranties shall be limited to (a) claims in excess of an aggregate of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), and (b) a maximum aggregate cap of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Recovery Cap”). Notice of such claim must be delivered to Seller in writing within ten (10) months of the Closing Date. In no event shall Seller or Buyer be liable for any indirect or consequential damages on account of Seller’s or Buyer’s breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement. Additionally, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer actually and unequivocally becomes aware prior to the Closing that any representation or warranty hereunder is untrue, or any covenant or condition to Closing has not been fulfilled or satisfied (if not otherwise waived by Buyer), and Buyer nonetheless proceeds to close on the purchase of the Property, then Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably and absolutely waived, relinquished and released all rights and claims against Seller for any damage or other loss arising out of or resulting from such untrue representation or warranty or such unfulfilled or unsatisfied covenant or condition. Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 8.1 shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months and the date which is ten (10) months following the Effective Date may be referred to herein as the “Outside Claim Date”). Seller covenants and agrees to do one of the following with respect to the Recovery Cap through the Outside Claim Date: either (A) it will not wind up the affairs of the Seller and will maintain in the accounts of Seller through the Outside Claim Date available funds in and amount no less than the Recovery Cap, or (B) if Seller wishes to wind up its affairs or distribute available funds in excess of the Recovery Cap prior to the Outside Claim Date, Seller shall first escrow funds in the amount of the Recovery Cap with an escrow holder and on terms and conditions mutually and reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer until the Outside Claim Date, or (C) Seller shall cause G REIT, Inc. to guaranty the obligations of Seller hereunder in the event of a breach of a representation or warranty of Seller hereunder, which Guaranty shall be in a form reasonably acceptably to Buyer and shall include a covenant of the guarantor not wind up its affairs until the Outside Claim Date . It is further agreed that if Buyer timely (and in accordance with the terms hereof) files a claim for a breach by Seller of its representations and warranties hereunder prior to the Outside Claim Date, the Seller shall be obligated to provide the assurance referenced in clause (A), (B) or (C) above in this Section 8.2.2, as applicable, until such claim is fully settled. |
8.2.3 | Approval of Property. The consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed Buyer’s acknowledgement that it has had an adequate opportunity to make such legal, factual and other inspections, inquiries and investigations as it deems necessary, desirable or appropriate with respect to the Property. Such inspections, inquiries and investigations of Buyer shall be deemed to include, but shall not be limited to, any leases and contracts pertaining to the Property, the physical components of all portions of the Property, the physical condition of the Property, such state of facts as an accurate survey, environmental report and inspection would show, the present and future zoning ordinance, ordinances, resolutions. Except with respect to Seller’s representations and warranties set forth herein, Buyer shall not be entitled to and shall not rely upon, Seller or Seller’s agents with regard to, and Seller will not make any representation or warranty with respect to: (i) the quality, nature, adequacy or physical condition of the Property including, but not limited to, the structural elements, foundation, roof, appurtenances, access, landscaping, parking facilities, or the electrical, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, sewage or utility systems, facilities, or appliances at the Property, if any; (ii) the quality, nature, adequacy or physical condition of soils or the existence of ground water at the Property; (iii) the existence, quality, nature, adequacy or physical condition of any utilities serving the Property; (iv) the development potential of the Property, its habitability, merchantability, or the fitness, suitability, or adequacy of the Property for any particular purpose; (v) the zoning or other legal status of the Property; (vi) the Property or its operations’ compliance with any applicable codes, laws, regulations, statutes, ordinances, covenants, conditions or restrictions of any governmental or quasi-governmental entity or of any other person or entity; (vii) the quality of any labor or materials relating in any way to the Property; or (viii) the condition of title to the Property or the nature, status and extent of any right-of-way, lease, right of redemption, possession, lien, encumbrance, license, reservation, covenant, condition, restriction, or any other matter affecting the Property except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER HAS NOT, DOES NOT, AND WILL NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY AND SELLER SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR WARRANTIES ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW, INCLUDING, BUT IN NO WAY LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY OF CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY, HABITABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE. FURTHERMORE, SELLER HAS NOT, DOES NOT, AND WILL NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH REGARD TO COMPLIANCE WITH ANY ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, POLLUTION, OR LAND USE LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS, ORDERS, OR REQUIREMENTS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE PERTAINING TO THE HANDLING, GENERATING, TREATING, STORING OR DISPOSING OF ANY HAZARDOUS WASTE OR SUBSTANCE INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ASBESTOS, PCB AND RADON. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER IS A SOPHISTICATED BUYER FAMILIAR WITH THIS TYPE OF PROPERTY AND THAT, SUBJECT ONLY TO THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND CLOSING DOCUMENTS, BUYER WILL BE ACQUIRING THE PROPERTY “AS IS AND WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS,” IN ITS PRESENT STATE AND CONDITION, SUBJECT ONLY TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND BUYER SHALL ASSUME THE RISK THAT ADVERSE MATTERS AND CONDITIONS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN REVEALED BY BUYER’S INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS. BUYER SHALL ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS, WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, COLLATERAL TO OR AFFECTING THE PROPERTY BY SELLER, ANY AGENT OF SELLER OR ANY THIRD PARTY. THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING, AND NOT MERGE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF ANY CLOSING DOCUMENTS. SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE OR BOUND IN ANY MANNER BY ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE PROPERTY FURNISHED BY ANY REAL ESTATE BROKER, AGENT, EMPLOYEE, SERVANT OR OTHER PERSON, UNLESS THE SAME ARE SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH OR REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT. EXCEPT WITH REGARD TO THE OBLIGATIONS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES IN SECTION 8.4, BUYER HEREBY RELEASES SELLER AND ITS AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES AND EMPLOYEES FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATING TO THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY BEFORE OR AFTER THE CLOSING AND ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE PROPERTY, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN AT THE TIME OF THE CLOSING. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE FOREGOING RELEASE EXTEND TO (A) ANY BREACH OF SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES SET FORTH HEREIN, (B) ANY BREACH BY SELLER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR (C) ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM EVENTS OCCURRING PRIOR TO CLOSING TO THE EXTENT COVERED BY SELLER’S INSURANCE. |
8.2.4 | Release. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary and except for any claims arising under the express representations, warranties or covenants of Seller under this Agreement or under the indemnity provisions of any document delivered in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer for itself and its agents, affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby releases and forever discharges Seller, and any party related to or affiliated with Seller and their respective successors and assigns (the “Seller Related Parties”) from and against any and all claims at law or equity which Buyer or any party related to or affiliated with Buyer and their respective successors and assigns (each a “Buyer Related Party”) whether known or unknown at the time of this agreement, which Buyer or a Buyer Related Party has or may have in the future, arising from or related to any matter or thing relating to or in connection with the Property, including but not limited to, the documents and information referred to in this Agreement, the leases and the tenants, the Loan, any construction defects, errors or omissions in the design or construction and arising out of the physical, environmental, economic or legal condition of the Property, including, without limitation, any claim for indemnification or contribution arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et. seq.) or any similar federal, state or local statute, rule or ordinance relating to liability of property owners or operators for environmental matters but excluding third-party claims for events occurring prior to Closing which are covered by insurance carried by Seller. For the foregoing purposes, Buyer hereby specifically waives the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and any similar law of any other state, territory or jurisdiction. Section 1542 provides: |
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
BUYER HEREBY SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER HAS CAREFULLY REVIEWED THIS SUBSECTION AND DISCUSSED ITS IMPORT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION ARE A MATERIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Covenants of Seller. Seller hereby covenants as follows: | |
8.3.1 | At all times from the date hereof through the date of Closing, Seller shall cause to be in force fire and extended coverage insurance upon the Property, and public liability insurance with respect to damage or injury to persons or property occurring on the Property in at least such amounts as are maintained by Seller on the Effective Date; |
8.3.2 | From the end of the Inspection Period through the date of Closing, Seller will not enter into any new lease, or any modification, amendment or renewal of an existing lease with respect to the Property, without Buyer’s prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.3.2. Buyer shall have five (5) business days following written notice of the proposed deal in which to approve or disapprove of any new lease, amendment or modification which Seller wishes to enter into prior to the Closing Date, provided that (a) Buyer will not unreasonably withhold or condition its consent to a new lease, modification or amendment entered into prior to the date which is three (3) business days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, and (b) for the period commencing three (3) business days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period through the Closing, Buyer will in act in good faith in considering all proposed lease transactions and will not disapprove a proposed transaction which is consistent with then existing market rates and concessions, but subject to the foregoing, Buyer may grant or withhold its consent to a proposed lease transaction in its sole discretion.

It is understood and agreed that leasing costs for all new leases and modifications or amendments of existing leases shall be prorated in accordance with the terms of Section 7.7.1(f). It is further understood and agreed that Buyer’s failure to respond in writing to a proposed new lease, amendment or modification within the five (5) business day time period referenced above shall be deemed to be Buyer’s consent to the proposed lease transaction; |
8.3.3 | From the Effective Date through the date of Closing, Seller shall not sell, assign, or convey any right, title or interest whatsoever in or to the Property, or create or permit to attach any lien, security interest, easement, encumbrance, charge, or condition affecting the Property (other than the Permitted Exceptions) without promptly discharging the same prior to Closing; |

Buyer has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. |

10.1.1 | No representation or warranty shall have changed prior to Closing in such a way that constitutes a Material Adverse Change and no breach by Seller of its representations and warranties hereunder shall have occurred. Seller shall not have on or prior to Closing, failed to meet, comply with or perform in any material respect any conditions or agreements on Seller’s part as required by the terms of this Agreement. |
10.1.2 | There shall be no material adverse change in the matters reflected in the Title Report, there shall not exist any material adverse encumbrance or title defect affecting the Property except for the Permitted Exceptions or matters to be satisfied at Closing, and Title Company shall be unconditionally committed to issue at Closing a Title Policy insuring fee simple title vested in Buyer, with coverage in the full amount of the Purchase Price and showing only those exceptions to title which are Permitted Exceptions, it being acknowledged that due to the amount of coverage required hereunder, Buyer may elect by written notice delivered to Seller and Title Company prior to Closing, to require co-insurance with up to two (2) additional title companies having comparable financial strength to Title Company provided that any such co-insurance arrangement shall not delay Closing or result in any additional cost to Seller. |
10.1.3 | Seller shall have obtained and delivered to Buyer estoppel certificates, in accordance with their respective Leases, from tenants representing seventy-five percent (75%) of the square feet which are leased and occupied by tenants as of the Effective Date, which shall include, at a minimum, estoppels from the following “Major Tenants”: Hilton Long Beach, US Customs, REMC Enterprises, Apriso, FBI, Medical Data Exchange, ACS Education Services and Ford Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, and each estoppel certificate shall be executed and delivered by the certifying tenant (collectively, the “Estoppel Delivery Condition”). Unless otherwise required by the terms of any specific Leases, Seller will request estoppels from all tenants of the Property in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G. Seller will request the estoppels no earlier than sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, provided, however, no estoppel will be issued as of a date more than forty-five (45) days prior to Closing. Prior to delivering the estoppels to tenants for review and execution, Seller shall deliver drafts of the estoppels to Buyer for review and approval, and Buyer will have two (2) business days to review the draft estoppels and notify Seller of any requested corrections or additions thereto. Estoppel certificates shall be deemed to satisfy this condition precedent unless they disclose material adverse matters. Buyer shall notify Seller within three (3) business days of receipt of a copy of the executed estoppel certificate of its approval or disapproval and the basis of such disapproval, if disapproved and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the Estoppel Delivery Condition by the date which is three (3) business days prior to Closing. If Buyer disapproves of an estoppel certificate because of a material, adverse matter disclosed therein, and Seller is unable to obtain a reasonably acceptable estoppel certificate prior to the Closing, then, at Buyer’s election, this Agreement shall terminate, Buyer shall be entitled to a refund of the Deposit (including the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit), and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other except Buyer’s indemnification obligations under Section 5. If Buyer has not received the required amount of estoppels to satisfy the Estoppel Delivery Condition by the date which is three (3) business days prior to Closing, then Seller or Buyer shall be permitted to extend the Closing Date until five (5) days after the receipt of all such estoppels, to permit Seller to secure such estoppels to meet the Estoppel Delivery Condition, but in no event shall Seller extend Closing by more than thirty (30) days. |
10.1.4 | Lender shall have consented to the Loan Assumption as referenced in Section 2.2 and the Lender shall have taken such action as shall be necessary for the Lender to close the Loan Assumption in accordance with the terms of a loan assumption agreement executed by Buyer and Lender (or Buyer’s assignee), which Loan Assumption shall include as one of its terms a release of Seller and any guarantor of Seller from all liability (except for matters which arose during Seller’s period of ownership). It is understood and agreed that this condition shall be deemed to be satisfied if the non-commercially reasonable actions or inactions of Buyer caused the Lender’s failure to take actions necessary to close the Loan Assumption. |
10.2 | The obligations of Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall, at the option of Seller, be subject to the following conditions precedent: |
10.2.1 | The Board of G REIT, Inc. (the “Board”) shall have approved the sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement. This condition precedent shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: |
(a) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary Board approval for Buyer’s acquisition of the Property pursuant hereto by no later than three (3) business days following the Effective Date, and shall keep Buyer informed regarding the timing of obtaining the necessary Board approval.
(b) If Board approval is not granted by the date which is three (3) business days following the Effective Date, Seller shall notify Buyer immediately, and by no later that one (1) business day following the expiration of such 3-business day period.
10.2.2 | Lender shall have consented to the Loan Assumption as referenced in Section 2.2, which Loan Assumption shall include as one of its terms a release of Seller and any guarantor of Seller from all liability (except for matters which arose during Seller’s period of ownership). |
If any such condition is not fully satisfied by closing, the party in whose favor the condition runs shall notify the other party and may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party whereupon this Agreement may be canceled, upon return of the Due Diligence Items the Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any continuing obligations hereunder.
11. Damage or Destruction Prior to Closing.
In the event that the Property should be damaged by any casualty prior to the Closing, then:
11.1 | If the cost of repairing damage to the Premises, as reasonably estimated by Seller, is less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and no Major Tenant is able to terminate its Tenant Lease as a result of such casualty, and no tenant under a Tenant Lease is able to xxxxx its rent following Closing unless covered by Seller’s rental interruption proceeds assigned to Buyer, the Closing shall proceed as scheduled and any insurance proceeds shall be distributed to Buyer to the extent not expended by Seller for restoration, and Buyer shall receive a credit for any applicable deductible; or |
11.2 | If the cost of repairing damage to the Premises, as reasonably estimated by Seller, is greater than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), or if such casualty entitles any Major Tenant to terminate its lease and any abated rent granted to a tenant under a Tenant Lease is not covered by rental interruption proceeds which can be assigned to Buyer, then Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement, in which case upon return of the Due Diligence Items the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other except for Buyer’s indemnification obligations under Section 5. |
12. Eminent Domain.
12.1 | If, before the Closing, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or a material part of the Property which, as reasonably determined by Buyer, would render the Property unacceptable to Buyer or unsuitable for Buyer’s intended use, Buyer shall have the right, by giving notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after Seller gives notice of the commencement of such proceedings to Buyer, to terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other except for Buyer’s indemnification under Section 5. If, before the Closing, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of less than such a material part of the Property, or if Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence but Buyer does not exercise such right, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and, at the Closing, the condemnation award (or, if not therefore received, the right to receive such portion of the award) payable on account of the taking shall be transferred in the same manner as title to the Property is conveyed. Seller shall give notice to Buyer within three (3) business days after Seller’s receiving notice of the commencement of any proceedings for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or any part of the Property. |
13. Notices.
13.1 | All notices, demands, or other communications of any type given by any party hereunder, whether required by this Agreement or in any way related to the transaction contracted for herein, shall be void and of no effect unless given in accordance with the provisions of this Section. All notices shall be in writing and delivered to the person to whom the notice is directed, either in person, by United States Mail, as a registered or certified item, return receipt requested by telecopy or by Federal Express.

14. Remedies.
14.1 | Defaults by Seller. If there is any default by Seller under this Agreement, following notice to Seller and the expiration of a 7-day cure period during which period Seller may cure the default, Buyer may, as it sole option elect to either (a) declare this Agreement terminated, in which case the entire Deposit (including the entire Nonrefundable Portion) shall be returned to Buyer and Buyer may seek damages only for its actual reasonable, documented out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with this transaction, not to exceed One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000); or (b) treat this Agreement as being in full force and effect and bring an action against Seller for specific performance. |
14.2 | Defaults by Buyer. If there is any default by Buyer under this Agreement, following notice to Buyer and the expiration of a 7-day cure period, during which period Buyer may cure the default, then Seller may, as its sole remedy, declare this Agreement terminated, in which case the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages and each party shall thereupon be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities, except any which survive termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer’s right to cure shall not be applicable to a failure to close and the Closing shall in no event be extended pursuant to this Section. In the event this Agreement is terminated due to the default of Buyer hereunder, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, at no cost to Seller, the Due Diligence Items and copies of final Buyer’s Reports. |
15. Assignment.
Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement to an entity in which Buyer participates in the equity and management, provided, however, that Buyer shall have no such right unless a written assignment is delivered to Seller no later than seven (7) business days before Closing; and further provided that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder.
16. Interpretation and Applicable Law.
This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Property is located (the “State”). Where required for proper interpretation, words in the singular shall include the plural; the masculine gender shall include the neuter and the feminine, and vice versa. The terms “successors and assigns” shall include the heirs, administrators, executors, successors, and assigns, as applicable, of any party hereto.
17. Amendment.
This Agreement may not be modified or amended, except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties. The parties may waive any of the conditions contained herein or any of the obligations of the other party hereunder, but any such waiver shall be effective only if in writing and signed by the party waiving such conditions and obligations.
18. Attorney’s Fees.
In the event it becomes necessary for either party to file a suit or arbitration to enforce this Agreement or any provisions contained herein, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to all other remedies or damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of court incurred in such suit or arbitration.
19. Entire Agreement; Survival.
This Agreement (and the items to be furnished in accordance herewith) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings of the parties in connection therewith. No representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or condition not expressed in this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto nor affect or be effective to interpret, change, or restrict the provisions of this Agreement. All of the obligations of the parties hereunder and all other provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have merged into the Deed and shall be extinguished at Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.
20. Multiple Originals Only; Counterparts.
Numerous agreements may be executed by the parties hereto. Each such executed copy shall have the full force and effect of an original executed instrument. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which when taken together shall constitute the entire agreement of the parties.
21. Acceptance.
Time is of the essence of this Agreement. The date of execution of this Agreement by Seller shall be the date of execution of this Agreement. If the final date of any period falls upon a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday under Federal law, the laws of the State or the laws of the State of California, then in such event the expiration date of such period shall be extended to the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday under Federal law, the laws of the State or the State of California.
22. Real Estate Commission.
Seller and Buyer each represent and warrant to the other that neither Seller nor Buyer has contracted or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder or any other party in connection with this transaction, and that neither party has taken any action which would result in any real estate broker’s, finder’s or other fees or commissions being due and payable to any party with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby, except that Seller has contracted with Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc. and Xxxxx Lang LaSalle, as its brokers and will pay any commission due to said brokers. Each party hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the other party harmless from any loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting to the other party by reason of a breach of the representation and warranty made by such party in this paragraph.
23. Exchange.
Either party may structure the purchase and sale of the Property as a like kind exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and in connection therewith, shall have the right to assign its interest in this Agreement to a qualified exchange intermediary of its choosing to effect such exchange. The other party shall cooperate with and shall execute such documents as may be necessary to effect such a like kind exchange, including a customary assignment and/or notice of assignment, however, such assignment and cooperation shall be at no cost or expense to the non-requesting party and shall not otherwise affect the term of this Agreement.
24. Confidentiality.
Buyer agrees that, prior to the closing, all Property information received by Buyer shall be kept confidential as provided in this paragraph. Without the prior written consent of Seller, prior to the closing, the Property information shall not be disclosed by Buyer or its representatives, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, except (1) to Buyer’s representatives and consultants who need to know the Property information for the purpose of evaluating the Property and who are informed by the Buyer of the confidential nature of the Property information; (2) as may be necessary for Buyer or Buyer’s representatives and consultants to comply with applicable laws, including, without limitation, governmental, regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements; to comply with other requirements and requests of regulatory and supervisory authorities and self-regulatory organizations having jurisdiction over Buyer or Buyer’s representatives; to comply with regulatory or judicial processes; or to satisfy reporting procedures and inquiries of credit rating agencies in accordance with customary practices of Buyer or its affiliates; (3) to prospective tenants of the Property; and (4) to the Lender, prospective venturers, investors and Lender participants in connection with the financing of the acquisition of the Property.
