EXHIBIT 10.12 AGREEMENT FOR DEED-IN-LIEU-OF FORECLOSURE
Parties: Angeles Partners XV, a California limited partnership ("Borrower");
and Angeles Mortgage Investment Trust, a California business trust
("Lender")
Property: Property in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The property is legally
described in Schedule 1 attached hereto.
Date: September 6, 1995
R E C I T A L S
A. Borrower is the owner of fee simple title to the Property. Lender
is the owner and holder of the loan documents (the "Loan Documents") described
in Schedule 2 attached hereto.
B. The Loan Documents secure outstanding principal indebtedness and
accrued interest (the "Indebtedness") in excess of One Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00). The maturity date of such Indebtedness is
June 30, 1994 (the "Maturity Date"). Borrower has failed to pay the
Indebtedness by the Maturity Date, and has proposed to Lender that the parties
resolve Borrower's default by providing for the transfer and conveyance of the
Property to Lender in exchange for Lender's agreements and consideration that
are hereinafter provided in order to avoid time-consuming and expensive
litigation.
C. Upon the terms and conditions set forth below, Borrower has agreed
to convey the Property to Lender and to release Lender from any and all rights
and claims arising out if the Loan Documents, and the Lender, upon the
occurrence of the conveyance, has agreed to release and forgive the Indebtedness
of the Borrower as more fully hereinafter provided.
D. Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect to assign some or all of
its rights under this Agreement and/or direct that conveyance of the Property be
made to a purchaser designated by Lender.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual
provisions and covenants made herein, and the receipt of other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency whereof are hereby acknowledged,
Borrower and Lender hereby agree that:
Agreements
1. Consideration. The consideration for the conveyance of the Property
to Lender by Borrower shall be (a) Lender's forgiveness of the Indebtedness, and
the release of Borrower from any and all liability under or in connection with
the Loan Documents as more fully provided in the form of instrument attached
hereto as Schedule 3 and made a part hereof ("Release") and (b) a payment of
Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) to Borrower by Lender. It is the intention of
the parties hereto that the delivery of the Deed (as hereinafter defined) and
the Release shall constitute a final and complete settlement of all obligations
between them arising from, related to or connected with the Indebtedness, the
Property and the Loan Documents.
2. Conveyance. The Property shall be conveyed by Borrower to Lender,
or at Lender's option, to Lender's designee, in lieu of Lender foreclosing upon
the Loan Documents by a good and sufficient limited warranty deed ("Deed")
warranting the Property to be free and clear of liens and encumbrances by, from,
through, or under the Borrower except matters of record, including without
limitation, (a) liens and encumbrances of record, (b) zoning ordinances, (c)
easements and rights of way of record, and (d) conditions, limitations, and
restrictions of record.
3. Title Exceptions. Borrower and Lender have been furnished with a
copy of a Preliminary Judicial Report (4851 Xxx Xxxx Property) filed in Case No.
279719 in the Court of Common Pleas, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, Angeles Mortgage
Investment Trust, Plaintiff v. Angeles Partners XV, Defendant, showing that in
addition to the Loan Documents, the Property is subject to (a) a lien for
delinquent taxes and assessments for the second half of 1993 and thereafter,
plus penalties and interest, (b) a Lease between Xxxxx X. Haendies, Lessor, and
Xxxxxxx Brothers, Inc., Lessee, recorded in Volume 498, page 427 of Cuyahoga
County Records, and (c) a center line exception for Xxx Xxxx Road (collectively,
the "Title Exceptions"). On the date the Deed is filed for record, Lender shall
be furnished with an updated Preliminary Judicial Report or other title report
issued by Surety Title Agency, Inc., Order No. ST 10082B, confirming that the
Property is released from the Loan Documents and subject only to the Title
Exceptions (the "Confirmatory Report").
4. Representations and Warranties. Lender represents and warrants that
it has the power and authority to perform this Agreement, and that the officer
signing this Agreement on its behalf, is duly authorized.
5. Escrow. As promptly as possible, and in any event, on or before
September 6, 1995, Lender shall deposit in escrow with the Surety Title Agency,
Inc. ("Title Company") (a) two signed counterparts of the Release, (b) the
signed Note described in Schedule 2 hereof, (c) a satisfaction of the mortgage
described in Schedule 2 hereof in recordable form (the "Satisfaction"), and (d)
$5,000.00. As promptly as possible, and in any event, on or before September 6,
1995, Borrower shall deposit in escrow with the Title Company (a) the Deed and
(b) two signed counterparts of the Release. As promptly after the foregoing
items are deposited in escrow as is possible, and in any event within three (3)
business days after such items are deposited, the Title Company shall consummate
the transaction provided for herein by (a) filing the Deed for record, (b)
delivering to Lender and Borrower each a fully signed counterpart of the
Release, (c) furnishing Lender with the Confirmatory Report, and (d) delivering
to Borrower the signed Note, and (e) filing the Satisfaction for record.
6. Casualty and Condemnation. (a) In the case of damage or destruction
to the Property before the Deed is filed for record, Borrower shall promptly
give Lender written notice of the damage or destruction, together with such
reasonable details of which Borrower may have knowledge, including, without
limitation, an estimate of the reasonable and necessary cost of restoration of
the Property as nearly as practicable to its condition immediately before that
damage or destruction. After Borrower's notice is given, Lender may at its
option terminate this Agreement without further obligation under this Agreement,
or if Lender shall elect not to terminate this Agreement, the parties to this
Agreement shall close the transaction as contemplated in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and Borrower shall assign to Lender or Lender's designee
all insurance proceeds, including rental loss insurance proceeds, if any, for
the period from and after the Deed is filed until the Property is fully
restored, for such damage or destruction.
(b) If before the Deed is filed, written notice shall be received by
Borrower of any action, suit, or proceeding to condemn or take all or any part
of the Property under the powers of eminent domain, Lender shall have the right
to terminate its obligations under this Agreement by notice in writing to
Borrower given before the Deed is filed. If the Lender shall elect not to
terminate its obligations under this Agreement, Lender shall receive an absolute
assignment on the date the Deed is filed of the entire proceeds of or right to
the condemnation award. Borrower shall convey the Property less that part so
taken or subject to the condemnation proceeding, as the case may be.
7. Prorations. Taxes and assessments, tenant rents and utility costs,
shall not be prorated. The operating account for the Property, including all
tenant rents, deposits and cash, shall be transferred from Borrower to Lender.
8. Expenses. Lender or Lender's designee shall pay the cost of filing
the Deed for record, the escrow fee of the Title Company, and the title
examination charges and related costs of obtaining the Preliminary Judicial
Report appertaining to the Title Exceptions and the Confirmatory Report.
9. Broker. Borrower represents that the Property is not listed for
sale with a real estate broker or agent, and Borrower and Lender agree that upon
the filing of the Deed for record, no commission or other payment shall be due
or payable to any entity or person.
10. Failure of Title. If for any reason whatsoever, the Title Company
cannot furnish Lender with the Confirmatory Report, this Agreement shall
terminate, and Borrower and Lender shall be released of all liabilities and
obligations hereunder, and the $5,000 deposited in escrow by the Lender with the
Title Company, shall be returned to the Lender; provided, however, that (a) the
Lender may waive any title exception or defect which is not among Title
Exceptions, and (b) Borrower shall have thirty (30) days after being advised by
the Title Company of such a title exception or defect not so waived in which to
cure the same.
11. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If for any reason whatsoever
this Agreement shall terminate and not be consummated in accordance with its
terms and conditions, the Lender shall be fully restored to all rights and
remedies which it has at law or in equity, or pursuant to the terms of the Loan
Documents, and Borrower shall not be entitled to, and shall not raise the
existence or termination of this Agreement as a defense to any action which
Lender may institute against Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents.
