3.1. | Title Insurance. |
Seller will, at Seller’s sole expense, cause Xxxxxx Title Agency, Inc. (the “Title Company” or “Xxxxxx”) to issue an Extended Coverage ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) for and on behalf of Buyer in the total amount of the Purchase Price and obtainable at standard rates insuring good, marketable and insurable title in and to the Real Property. The Title Policy shall provide full coverage against mechanics’ and materialmens liens and shall contain such endorsements as Buyer may reasonably require (the “Endorsements”); provided, however, that the Endorsements shall be an expense of the Buyer. In any event, Seller covenants to cause to be released and reconveyed from the Property, and to remove as exceptions to title on or prior to the Close of Escrow the following (the “Pre-Disapproved Exceptions”): any mortgages, deeds of trust, or other monetary encumbrances, assessments and/or indebtedness, except for the current installment of non-delinquent real property taxes and assessments payable as part of the real property tax xxxx. The Title Policy shall be free and clear of exceptions except as follows:
3.1.1. | Real property taxes and assessments, which are a lien not yet due; |
3.1.2. | The “Permitted Exceptions” (as defined below) included in such policy and approved by Buyer, in Buyer’s good faith business judgment, as herein described; and |
3.1.3. | Subject to Buyer’s receipt of a fully executed “Cell Tower Agreement” pursuant to Sections 6.4.1(p) and 6.4.1(r) below, together with a recordable memorandum thereof, the Cell Tower Access Easement (as defined below) and the encroachment onto the Property of the area covered under the Cell Tower Lease. |
3.2. | Procedure for Approval of Title. |
Seller has delivered, and Buyer hereby acknowledges receipt of, a title insurance commitment for the Real Property, together with legible copies of all items identified as exceptions therein (the “Title Documents”). Buyer shall have ten (10) days following the Effective Date to review and approve (or take exception to), in writing, the condition of the title to the Real Property (“Title Review Period”). If the Title Documents or the “Survey” (as defined below) reflect or disclose any defect, exception or other matter affecting the Real Property (“Title Defects”) that is unacceptable to Buyer, then Buyer shall provide Seller with written notice of Buyer’s objections no later than the conclusion of the Title Review Period; provided, however, if Buyer shall fail to notify Seller in writing within the Title Review Period either that the condition of title is acceptable or of any specific objections to the state of title to the Real Property, then Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted all exceptions to title or other conditions or matters which are shown on the Survey or described in the Title Documents. Seller may, at its sole option, elect, by written notice given to Buyer within three (3) days following the conclusion of the Title Review Period (“Seller’s Notice Period”), to cure or remove the objections made by Buyer; provided, however, Seller shall in all events have the obligation to (i) act in good faith in making such election and curing any Title Defects that Seller elects to cure, (ii) specifically remove the Pre-Disapproved Exceptions, and (iii) remove any Title Defect that attaches to the Real Property subsequent to the conclusion of the Title Review Period. The failure of Seller to deliver written notice electing to cure any or all such objected to exceptions during the Seller’s Notice Period shall be deemed an election by Seller not to cure such exceptions. Should Seller elect to attempt to cure or remove any objection, Seller shall have ten (10) days from the conclusion of the Title Review Period (“Cure Period”) in which to accomplish the cure. In the event Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure or remove any objection, or in any event Seller fails to cure or remove any objection which Seller agrees or is required to cure within the Cure Period, then Buyer shall be entitled, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedies, either to (i) terminate this Agreement and obtain a refund of the Deposit or (ii) waive any objections that Seller has not elected to cure and close this transaction as otherwise contemplated herein. The failure of Buyer to provide written notice to Seller within five (5) days following the expiration of the Seller’s Notice Period or the Cure Period, as applicable, waiving any objections Seller has not elected to cure shall be deemed an election by Buyer to terminate this Agreement. Any exceptions to title accepted by Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Section shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions.” If at anytime prior to the Close of Escrow, Buyer receives an update or supplement to the Preliminary Title Report or Survey and such update or supplement discloses one or more Title Defects that are not Permitted Exceptions (in each case, a “New Title Defect”) and any New Title Defect is unacceptable to Buyer, Buyer may, within three (3) business days after receiving such update or supplement to the Preliminary Title Report or Survey, as the case may be, deliver to the Seller another Title Objection Letter with respect to any New Title Defect only and the process described in this Section shall apply thereto.
3.3. | Condition of the Property |
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer has been afforded the opportunity to examine the Property, the public records and all governmental and private restrictions concerning the Real Property and, in making this Agreement, except as set forth in this Agreement or in any document executed by Seller and delivered to Buyer at Close of Escrow, is buying the Real Property “AS IS” and is relying solely upon Buyer’s examinations with respect to the Real Property and the suitability of the Real Property, including, without limitation: (i) the condition, character, quality, appearance and environmental state of the Real Property and all of the improvements and appurtenances being conveyed therewith and (ii) all zoning ordinances and regulations, local ordinances, use restrictions and other governmental and private controls, regulations and restrictions relating to the Real Property.

6.6.5. | All costs associated with removing any debt encumbering the Real Property. |
6.7. | Prorations. |
6.7.1. | Items to be Prorated. The following shall be prorated (based on taxes accrued) between Seller and Buyer as of the Close of Escrow with the Buyer being deemed the owner of the Property as of the Close of Escrow: |
(a) Taxes and Assessments. At Closing, Seller shall pay for all taxes accrued during Seller’s period of ownership and Escrow Holder shall prorate real estate taxes and general assessments which are a lien but not yet due and payable based on the most recent tax duplicate (except that if there is or has been any reduction or abatement of taxes by virtue of the nature of the use of the Property or by virtue of any exception or reduction in favor of Seller, which reduction or abatement will no longer apply to the Property if Buyer acquires same or changes the use of the Property, then the proration shall be based on the full amount of such taxes without reduction or abatement and Seller shall also be charged with any “recaptured” taxes). All special assessments shall be paid in full at Closing. When the actual amount of such taxes becomes known, Escrow Holder shall adjust the actual tax proration; provided that Seller shall receive an offset for that portion of the real estate taxes that are permitted to be passed through to any then existing tenants of the 500 Parcel, 515 Parcel or the Mound Street Parking Lot, as applicable. All assessments, reassessed assessments and/or respread taxes upon the Property shall be paid in full out of Seller’s funds at Closing.
(b) Rents. Buyer will receive a credit at closing for all rents collected by Seller prior to the Closing and allocable to the period from and after the Close of Escrow 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, and Seller shall retain the right to collect any such rent provided Seller does not xxx to evict any tenants or terminate any Tenant Leases. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller after 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. Unless the check indicates otherwise, all payments collected from Tenants after 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; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller collects any payments from Tenants after Closing through its own collection efforts, Seller may first apply such payments to rent due the Seller for the period prior to Closing.
(c) CAM Expenses. 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 Close of Escrow. 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 five (5) days of the receipt thereof.
To assist the Buyer in preparing “true up” reconciliation at the end of the CAM Lease Year, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer at Closing records of all of the Seller’s CAM Charge expenditures.
(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 Close of Escrow 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 Close of Escrow and the number of days in the Current Billing Period from and after the Close of Escrow, 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 Close of Escrow, 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, together with any interest accrued thereon if required under the 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, at Closing cause Buyer to be named as beneficiary under the Non-Cash Security Deposits. Buyer will not receive a credit against the Purchase Price for such security deposits. In the event that the Buyer cannot be named the beneficiary under the Non-Cash Security Deposits as of the Close of Escrow, an escrow shall be established at Closing in an amount equal to all Non-Cash Security Deposits under which Buyer is not the beneficiary as of the Close of Escrow.
(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 Tenant 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 Close of Escrow 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 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, to the extent that such improvement allowances and leasing commissions are unpaid as of the Close of Escrow.
(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 Close of Escrow 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 five (5) 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 or 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.
6.7.2. | Calculation; Reproration. Escrow Holder shall prepare and deliver to Buyer no later than five (5) days prior to the Close of Escrow an estimated closing statement which shall set forth the costs payable under Section 6.5, Section 6.6, and Section 6.7, and the prorations and credits provided for in this section and elsewhere in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provide in Section 6.7.1(a), 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 subsection. Buyer shall notify Seller within two (2) days after its receipt of such estimated closing statement of any items which Buyer disputes, and the parties shall attempt in good faith to reconcile any differences not later than one (1) day before the Close of Escrow. The estimated closing statement as adjusted as aforesaid and approved in writing by the parties (which shall not be withheld if prepared in accordance with this Agreement) 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 any adjustment shall be made, if at all, within sixty (60) days after the Close of Escrow (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 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. |
6.7.3. | Items Not Prorated. Seller and Buyer agree that (a) on the Close of Escrow, the Property will not be subject to any financing arranged by Seller; provided, however, that Seller may use proceeds from the sale to payoff any financing through Escrow concurrently with the Close of Escrow; (b) none of the insurance policies relating to the Property will be assigned to Buyer and Buyer shall be responsible for arranging for its own insurance as of the Close of Escrow; and (c) final reading of all meters for all public utilities, including telephone, electricity, sewer, water and gas, shall be ordered read by Seller on the Close of Escrow and all charges to said date shall be paid by Seller 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 Close of Escrow, 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 Close of Escrow, and any utility deposits which it or its predecessors may have posted. Accordingly, there will be no prorations for debt service, 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 Section 6.7.2 above. Seller shall obtain any statements required by any governmental authority respecting the status of the account for any such utilities. |
6.7.4. | 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. |
6.7.5. | Survival. This Section shall survive the Close of Escrow. |
6.8. | Determination of Dates of Performance. |
Promptly after delivery to Buyer of the Title Documents, Escrow Holder shall prepare and deliver to Buyer and Seller a schedule which shall state each of the following dates:
6.8.1. | The Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.1.1; |
6.8.2. | The date by which title must be approved by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.2; |
6.8.3. | The date of Close of Escrow 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.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and all documents contemplated hereby by Buyer have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Buyer and all required consents and approvals have been duly obtained and will not result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, agreement or instrument to which Buyer is a party or otherwise bound. |
9. Conditions Precedent to Close of Escrow.
9.1. | Conditions Precedent. |
The obligations of Buyer to purchase the Property pursuant to this Agreement shall, at the option of Buyer, be subject to the following conditions precedent:
9.1.1. | All of the representations, warranties and agreements of Seller set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof and as of the Close of Escrow, and Seller shall not have on or prior to the Close of Escrow, failed to meet, comply with or perform in any material respect any covenants or agreements on Seller’s part as required by the terms of this Agreement. |
9.1.2. | There shall be no change in the matters reflected in the Title Documents, and there shall not exist any encumbrance or title defect affecting the Real Property not described in the Title Documents except for the Permitted Exceptions or matters to be satisfied at the Close of Escrow. |
9.1.3. | On the Closing Date, the Title Insurance Company shall be unconditionally obligated and prepared, subject to the payment of the applicable title insurance premium and other related charges, to issue to Buyer the Title Policy. |
9.1.4. | Unless Seller receives notice from Buyer at least thirty (30) days prior to the Close of Escrow, effective as of the Close of Escrow, any management agreement affecting the Real Property shall be terminated by Seller and any and all termination fees incurred as a result thereof shall be the sole obligation of Seller. |
9.1.5. | No Major Tenant shall be in default under its Lease nor shall any Major Tenant have given notice that it is discontinuing operations at the Real Property nor shall a Major Tenant filed bankruptcy or sought any similar debtor protective measure or be the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy. |
9.1.6. | Seller shall obtain and deliver to Buyer, no later than ten (10) days prior to Close of Escrow, estoppel certificates and subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreements (“SNDAs”) dated no earlier than ten (10) days prior to the Close of Escrow from all tenants occupying 5,000 square feet or more (each, a “Major Tenant”) and (b) SNDAs and estoppel certificates from other tenants sufficient so that the Seller has delivered estoppel certificates and SNDAs from tenants representing in the aggregate, at least ninety percent (90%) of the occupied square footage of the Real Property, in all cases on forms provided by (or otherwise approved by) Buyer. The matters certified in the estoppel certificates and any modifications to the SNDA forms shall be subject to Buyer’s reasonable approval. Buyer shall notify Seller within three (3) days before the Close of Escrow of Buyer’s approval or disapproval and the basis of such disapproval, if disapproved. If Buyer disapproves of estoppel certificates or SNDAs such that Seller is unable to deliver satisfactory estoppel certificates or SNDAs from tenants representing in the aggregate, at least ninety percent (90%) of the occupied square footage of the Real Property, and Seller continues to be unable to deliver, in Buyer’s good faith business judgment, a reasonably acceptable estoppel certificate or SNDA (as the case may be) prior to the Close of Escrow, the Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to obtain a refund of the Deposit without any further action required by any party, and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.1.6, if an estoppel certificate (i) contains a material discrepancy (as determined by Buyer in Buyer’s good faith business judgment) from the Rent Roll or the applicable tenant lease, (ii) discloses an alleged material breach (as determined by Buyer in Buyer’s good faith business judgment) by Seller as landlord under such tenant’s lease, or (iii) discloses an condition that materially and adversely (as determined by Buyer in Buyer’s good faith business judgment) affects the Property, then Buyer may disapprove such estoppel certificate and terminate this Agreement without default by either party, by giving written notice of its disapproval within three (3) business days after receipt of the estoppel certificate. If Buyer does not give written notice of its disapproval of the tenant estoppel within such three (3) business day period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have approved such estoppel certificate. |
9.1.7. | If any Tenant security deposit is in a form other than cash, the instrument constituting the security deposit must be reissued in Buyer’s name as of the Close of Escrow or else a cash escrow equal to the amount of the security deposit will be established at the Close of Escrow until the instrument is reissued in Buyer’s name. Prior to such time of reissue, Buyer shall be entitled to draw from such cash escrow in the event the terms of the relevant lease entitle the Buyer, as landlord, to draw on the non-cash deposit. The provisions of this section shall survive the Close of Escrow. |
9.1.8. | There shall be no material and adverse change, in Buyer’s good faith business judgment, in the zoning classification or the zoning ordinances or regulations affecting the Property from that existing as of the Effective Date. |
9.1.9. | On the Closing Date, no action or proceeding shall have been instituted or be threatened before any court or governmental authority (A) that relates to the Property and that materially and adversely affects, in Buyer’s good faith business judgment, the Property after the Close of Escrow or (B) that seeks to restrain or prohibit, or to obtain substantial damages in respect of, or which is related to or arises out of, this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, unless Seller has demonstrated, to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction, that any costs and liabilities to be incurred in connection with such matters are fully covered by Seller’s insurance. |
9.1.10. | As of the Closing Date, Seller shall not have commenced (within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law) a voluntary case, nor shall there have been commenced against Seller an involuntary case, nor shall Seller have consented to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or any substantial part of its property, nor shall a court of competent jurisdiction have entered an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that is for relief against Seller in an involuntary case or appoints a Custodian of Seller for all or any substantial part of its property. The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. |
9.1.11. | Seller shall have completed the site plan (the “Site Plan”) for the development of the Mound Street Parking Lot as an improved parking lot containing no less than eighty-seven (87) automobile parking spaces and other improvements reasonably requested by Buyer, subject to Buyer’s input and final approval (the “Parking Lot Improvements”); provided, however, that the total number of parking spaces may be reduced as a result of the final approved Site Plan by no more than seven (7) parking spaces but only if an equal amount of automobile parking spaces are added to the total number of automobile parking spaces leased under the JDS Parking Lease free of charge for the duration of the JDS Parking Lease term. Seller shall also have obtained all approvals necessary for Seller to install the Parking Lot Improvements on the Mound Street Parking Lot and obtained evidence that is satisfactory to Buyer, which confirms that Seller has the right to install, use and operate the Parking Lot Improvements on the Mound Street Parking Lot without being subject to overly burdensome conditions, as determined by Buyer, in Buyer’s good faith business judgment (the “Development Rights”), which together with the Site Plan shall have been assigned to Buyer. Furthermore, Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that Buyer is solely responsible, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, for obtaining construction bids, permits and constructing the Parking Lot Improvements on the Mound Street Parking Lot and will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Parking Lot Improvements within 120 days from the Close of Escrow, subject to extension as a result of a Force Majeure Event in accordance with Section 6.3.6. |
9.1.12. | Buyer shall have obtained evidence that is satisfactory to Buyer, which confirms that (a) Buyer will receive the benefits of that certain Community Reinvestment Area Agreement dated September 27, 2000 by and between the City of Columbus, Ohio (the “City”) and Xxxxxxx Development, as amended by that certain First Amendment to City of Columbus Community Reinvestment Area Agreement dated June 7, 2007 (collectively, the “Abatement Agreement”) in the form of an assignment and assumption agreement (or other form suitable to Buyer) evidencing the assignment or transfer of the Abatement Agreement to Buyer or its assignee hereunder, together with the consent of the City (the “Abatement Assignment”), (b) the Abatement Agreement is valid and in full force and effect, and (c) Seller is not in default in any respects under the Abatement Agreement. |
9.1.13. | Buyer shall have received a fully executed Cell Tower Agreement pursuant to Section 6.4.1(p). |
9.1.14. | Buyer shall have received a fully executed JDS Parking Lease pursuant to Section 6.3.9. |
9.2. | Effect of Failure. |
If Buyer notifies Seller of a failure to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 9, Seller may, within five (5) days after receipt of Buyer’s notice, agree to satisfy the condition by written notice to Buyer, and Buyer shall thereupon be obligated to close the transaction provided (a) Seller so satisfies such condition prior to the Close of Escrow and (b) no such right to cure shall extend the Close of Escrow. If Seller fails to agree to cure or fails to cure such condition by the Close of Escrow, this Agreement shall be automatically terminated, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer without any further action required from either party and neither party shall have any continuing obligations hereunder; provided, however, if such failure constitutes a breach or default of its covenants, representations or warranties Seller shall remain liable for such breach or default as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.
10. Damage or Destruction Prior to Close of Escrow.
In the event that the Real Property should be damaged by any casualty prior to Close of Escrow, then Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with written notice of such casualty. If the cost of repairing such damage, as estimated by an architect or contractor retained pursuant to the mutual agreement of the parties (the “Cost of Repairs”), is (a) less than One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), the Close of Escrow shall proceed as scheduled and any insurance proceeds, plus the cash amount of any associated deductible, shall be paid over to Buyer; or (b) greater than One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), then Buyer may in its discretion either (i) elect to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer without any further action required from either party and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other or (ii) proceed to Close of Escrow in which event any insurance proceeds, plus the cash amount of any associated deductible, shall be paid over to Buyer. In the event that the casualty is uninsured, the Buyer may terminate this Agreement unless the Buyer receives a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the Cost of Repairs. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event any casualty results in the cancellation of, or rental abatement under, any Lease, Buyer shall have the option to terminate this Agreement without regard to the Cost of Repairs. Any notice required to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section shall be delivered no later than thirty (30) days following Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s notice of such casualty.
11. Eminent Domain.
If, before the Close of Escrow, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or a material part of the Real Property which, as reasonably determined by Buyer, would render the Real Property unacceptable to Buyer or unsuitable for Buyer’s intended use, Buyer shall have the right, by giving written 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 automatically terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer without any further action required from either party and neither party shall have any continuing obligations hereunder. If, before the Close of Escrow, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of less than a material part of the Real 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, on the Close of Escrow, the condemnation award (or, if not theretofore received, the right to receive such portion of the award) payable on account of the taking shall be assigned, or paid to, Buyer. Seller shall give written 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 Real Property. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event the taking results in the cancellation of, or rent abatement under, any Lease, Buyer shall have the option to terminate this Agreement.
12. Notices.
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 (a) in person, (b) by United States Mail, as a registered or certified item, return receipt requested, (c) by facsimile transmission (with confirmation by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service), or (d) by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service. Notices transmitted to the then designated facsimile number of the party intended shall be deemed received upon electronic verification of receipt by the sending machine, notices sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service shall be deemed received on the next business day and notices delivered by certified or registered mail shall be deemed delivered on the earlier of receipt, refusal or three (3) postal delivery days following posting.

13. Remedies.
13.1. | Defaults by Seller. If there is any default by Seller under this Agreement, following notice to Seller and seven (7) days thereafter during which period Seller may cure the default, Buyer may at its option, either (a) declare this Agreement terminated in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer without any further action required from either party, and bring an action for any damages incurred by Buyer or (b) treat the Agreement as being in full force and effect and bring an action against Seller for specific performance. The foregoing notwithstanding, no right to cure shall extend the Close of Escrow. |
13.2. | Defaults by Buyer. If there is any default by Buyer under this Agreement, following notice to Buyer and seven (7) days thereafter, during which period Buyer may cure the default, Seller may, as its sole remedy, declare this Agreement terminated, in which case the Deposit then being held by the Escrow Agent 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. The foregoing notwithstanding, no right to cure shall extend the Close of Escrow. |
In the event this Agreement is terminated due to the default of Buyer hereunder, Buyer shall, in addition, deliver to Seller, at no cost to Seller, the items provided to Buyer in connection with its investigation of the transaction contemplated herein.
14. Assignment.
Buyer may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any one or more persons or entities upon notice to Seller provided that Buyer and the assignee execute an assignment and assumption agreement pursuant to which the assignee expressly assumes all of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement and provided, further, that Buyer is not released from its obligations hereunder until the Close of Escrow. Additionally, Buyer shall have the right to cause Seller to grant title to the Property to up to thirty-five (35) tenants-in-common (the “Nominees”) in lieu of granting title to the Property to Buyer, provided that (i) Buyer notifies Seller, in writing, at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date that Buyer wishes to cause Seller to grant title to the Property to the Nominees, along with the names of the Nominees and any other information reasonably required by Seller to prepare and complete the Deed, Assignment Agreement and any other closing documents to reflect the vesting of title to the Property in the Nominees, (ii) there is no additional cost, liability or expense incurred by Seller in connection therewith, (iii) the Closing Date is not delayed in connection therewith, and (iv) Buyer agrees to and hereby does indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all liability, damage, and cost, including reasonably attorneys’ fees, incurred by Seller by virtue of Seller’s granting of title to the Property to the Nominees.

17. Attorneys’ Fees.
In the event it becomes necessary for either party to file a suit 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.
18. 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 shall affect or be effective to interpret, change, or restrict the provisions of this Agreement. The obligations of the parties hereunder and all other provisions of this Agreement shall survive the Close of Escrow or earlier termination of this Agreement, except as expressly limited herein.
19. Counterparts.

Seller and Buyer each represent and warrant to the other that neither Seller nor Buyer has contacted or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder or any other party in connection with this transaction other than Cityspace Realty, LLC, an affiliate of J. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, 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 other than Cityspace Realty, LLC with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby. Such commission shall be payable upon the Close of Escrow from the proceeds of the Purchase Price deposited by Buyer. 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 Section.
22. Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person, place, or circumstance, shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or void, the remainder of this Agreement and such provisions as applied to other persons, places and circumstances shall remain in full force and effect.
23. Further Assurances.
Each party will, whenever and as often as it shall be requested to do so by the other party, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered any and all such further conveyances, assignments, approvals, consents and any and all other documents and do any and all other acts as may be necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement.

25. Cooperation with S-X 3-14 Audit.
Seller acknowledges that Buyer shall have the right to assign all of its rights, title and interest in and to this Agreement and that the assignee may be a publicly registered company (“Registered Company”) promoted by the Buyer.
