3.6 Title Insurance and
Survey.
(a) Within
five (5) days after the execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall order
commitments for owner’s policies of title insurance (the “Title Commitment”)
issued by the Title Company, as agent for First American Title Insurance
Company, covering fee simple title to the Property. Such Title
Commitments shall have attached thereto complete, legible copies of all
instruments noted as exceptions therein, and shall be delivered promptly to
Buyer upon receipt by Seller. Buyer shall furnish Seller with a copy of the
title commitment and attachments, and all subsequent revisions thereof, promptly
upon receipt of same.
(b) If
(i) either of the Title Commitments reflect any exceptions to title other
than Permitted Encumbrances which are not acceptable to Buyer in Buyer’s sole
discretion, or (ii) the Survey to be obtained by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.6(d) below
discloses anything not acceptable to Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion, (any such
exception or unacceptable statement of fact being referred to herein as a “Title Defect”), then
Buyer shall give Seller written notice of such Title Defect within ten (10) days
of Buyer’s receipt of such Title Commitment (the “Title
Notice”). The Title Notice shall include a copy of the
relevant Title Commitment and copies of the exceptions. Any exception
to title that is (x) disclosed in the Title Commitment, or
(y) identified on a Survey, which, in either case, is not identified as a
Title Defect in the Title Notice, shall be irrevocably deemed to be a “Permitted
Encumbrance” for purposes of this Agreement (collectively, “Permitted
Encumbrances”). Seller shall have the right, but not the
obligation, within ten (10) days after receipt of any such Title Notice, to
notify Buyer that Seller will take the action necessary to remove such Title
Defect. If Seller elects to so notify Buyer, then, on or before the
Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable evidence of such
removal. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
the following items (collectively, the “Required Cure Items”)
must be cured prior to or at Closing (with Seller having the right to apply the
portion of the Purchase Price allocated to either such party pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof,
or a portion thereof, for such purpose): (x) all deeds of trust, mortgages,
security deeds, and other security instruments, (y) all past Taxes, the failure
to pay which would result in a statutory lien being imposed upon the Real
Property, and (z) all judgments against the Seller which may constitute a
Encumbrance against all or part of the Property. In addition, if at
any time after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and prior to the
Closing, title to Seller’s interests in the Property is encumbered by any Title
Defect, which was not on the initial Title Commitment for the Property and was
solely caused by the action or inaction of Seller (collectively, “Past Effective Date
Encumbrances”) and is not acceptable to Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion,
then Buyer shall within ten (10) days following receipt of actual notice
thereof, give Seller a Title Notice with respect to any such Past Effective Date
Encumbrances. In the event Buyer fails to deliver a Title Notice with
respect to a Past Effective Date Encumbrance within such ten (10) day period,
such Past Effective Date Encumbrance shall constitute a Permitted
Encumbrance.
9
(c) In
the event (x) Buyer timely gives a Title Notice to Seller and the Title Defects
specified therein are not cured on or before the Closing, (y) a Required Cure
Item is not cured on or before the Closing, or (z) if Seller does not timely
notify Buyer that Seller will remove Title Defects within the ten (10) days as
specified above (in which case Buyer shall make its election pursuant to this
subsection (c) prior to the earlier of the Closing or fifteen (15)
days following the date of such Title Notice), Buyer shall have the option
to:
|
(i)
|
accept
Seller’s interest in the Real Property subject to such Title Defect(s) or
Required Cure Item(s), in which event such Title Defect(s) or Required
Cure Item(s) shall become part of the Permitted Encumbrances, and to close
the transaction contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement;
|
|
(ii)
|
in
the case of Required Cure Item(s), pay any sum necessary to cure the
Required Cure Item(s) and deduct such amount from the Purchase Price;
or
|
|
(iii)
|
by
giving Seller written notice of Buyer’s election, terminate this
Agreement, in which event no party shall have any further rights or
obligations to the other hereunder, except for such rights and obligations
that, by the express terms hereof, survive any termination of this
Agreement. If Buyer elects to proceed with the Closing without
giving notice of its election under paragraph (ii) immediately above or
this paragraph (iii), Buyer will be irrevocably deemed to have accepted
such Title Defect(s) or Required Cure Item(s) as Permitted
Encumbrances.
|
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 3.6(c) shall
limit the right of the Buyer to pursue any and all remedies provided in Section 11.2 of
this Agreement as a result of Seller’s default.
(d) Seller
has previously provided Buyer with copies of any existing boundary surveys for
the Property. Buyer may order one or more boundary surveys for the
Property (the “Survey”) prepared by

requirements, and shall be certified to Buyer, the Title Company, First American
Title Insurance Company and any Lender of Buyer by such surveyor; (ii) have
one perimeter description for the Property; (iii) show all easements,
rights-of-way, setback lines, encroachments and other matters affecting the use
or development of the Property; and (iv) disclose on the face thereof the

(e) Seller
covenants and agrees that at or prior to Closing, Seller shall (i) pay or cause
to be paid in full and cause to be canceled and discharged or otherwise bond and
discharge as Encumbrances against the Property all mechanics’, materialmen’s,
repairmen’s, contractors’ or other similar Encumbrances which encumber the
Property as of the Effective Date created by, through or under Seller or which
may be filed against the Property after the Effective Date created by, through
or under Seller and on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) pay or cause to be
paid in full all past due ad valorem taxes and assessments of any kind
constituting an Encumbrance against the Property which are due and payable, and
(iii) pay or cause to be paid in full, or cause to be canceled and discharged
all security deeds or other security instruments encumbering the property and
created by or through Seller, except to the extent Buyer assumes any of the
obligations secured by such instruments, and all judgments which have attached
to and become an Encumbrance against the Property by, through or under
Seller. In the event Seller fails to cause such liens and
encumbrances to be paid and canceled at or prior to Closing, Buyer shall be
entitled to pay such amount to the holder thereof as may be required to pay and
cancel same, and to credit the amount so paid against the Purchase Price
allocated to the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.3
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this
Section 3.6(c)
shall limit the right of the Buyer to pursue any and all remedies provided in
Section 11.2 of
this Agreement as a result of Seller’s default.
(f) All
Title Expenses shall be paid by the parties in accordance with Section 9.4 hereof.
“Title Expenses” shall include all costs and expenses of obtaining the Survey
and Title Commitment, together with any endorsements required by any lender
financing the Buyer’s acquisition of the Property. “Title Expenses”
shall exclude any costs and expenses incurred or required to be incurred to cure
any Title Defects or Required Cure Items.

Buyer and
Seller shall prepare a proposed schedule (the “Proration Schedule”)
prior to Closing that shall include the items listed above and any other
applicable income and expenses with regard to the Property. Seller
and Buyer will use all reasonable efforts to finalize and agree upon the
Proration Schedule at least two (2) business days prior to Closing.
(b) Any
escrow accounts held by any utility companies, and any cash deposits made by
Seller or Seller’s Affiliates prior to Closing to secure obligations under
Assumed Obligations shall be either retained by Seller (with Buyer providing its
own escrow) or, if such escrows are assigned to Buyer, Buyer shall pay Seller
the amounts so assigned to Buyer.
25
(c) With
respect to any amounts held by Seller in a tenant escrow or trust account under
the Lease Agreement, at or promptly following Closing, Seller shall return the
same to the depositor thereof (to the extent the amounts held in any such
accounts have not been applied against amounts owing by the depositor thereof in
accordance with the terms of the Lease Agreement).
(d) Seller
shall receive all income from and shall be responsible for all expenses of the
Property attributable to the period prior to the Proration Date, unless
otherwise provided for in this Agreement. In the event Buyer receives
any payment from a tenant for rent due for any period prior to the Proration
Date or payment of any other receivable of Seller, Buyer shall forward such
payment to Seller.
(e) Buyer
shall receive all income from and shall be responsible for all expenses of the
Property attributable to the period from and after the Proration Date, unless
otherwise provided for in this Agreement. In the event Seller or
Seller’s Affiliates receive any payment from a tenant for rent due for any
period from and after the Proration Date, Seller shall forward such payment to
Buyer.
(f) The
parties agree that any amounts that may become due under this Section 9.5 shall be
paid at Closing as can best be determined. A post-Closing
reconciliation of pro-rated items shall be made by the Buyer and Seller within
ninety (90) days after Closing and any amounts due at that time shall be
promptly forwarded to the respective party in a lump sum payment. Any
additional amounts which may become due after such determination shall be
forwarded at the time they are received. Any amounts due under this
Section 9.5
which cannot be determined within ninety (90) days after Closing shall be
reconciled no later than March 31, 2011. Buyer and Seller agree
that each shall have the right to audit the records of the other for up to one
(1) year following Closing in connection with any such post-Closing
reconciliation.
(g) Buyer
shall receive a credit towards the Purchase Price for any obligations as
otherwise expressly agreed by the Buyer and Seller.
(h) This
Section 9.5
shall survive the Closing.
ARTICLE
X
INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 General. The
rights to indemnification set forth in this ARTICLE X and the
other rights
described in this Agreement shall be in addition to all other rights to monetary
damages that any party (or the party’s successors or permitted assigns) would
otherwise have by Applicable Law in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any other Document; provided, however, that neither
party shall have the right to be compensated more than once for the same
monetary damage.
10.2 Indemnification by
Seller. From
and after Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer and
its officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, successors and assigns from and
against, and pay or reimburse each of them for and with respect to, any Loss
relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following:
26
(a) Any
breach by Seller of any of its representations and warranties in this Agreement
or any other Document which were not actually known to Buyer as of the Closing
Date;
(b) Any
breach by Seller of Seller’s obligations under the closing
documents;
(c) Claims
relating to the ownership of the Property prior to the Closing, including
without limitation, any and all liabilities which relate to events occurring
prior to the Closing, regardless of when they are asserted or whether such was
disclosed to Buyer and regardless of whether such was a breach of any
representation, warranty, or covenant by Seller, except for Assumed Obligations;
and
(d) Claims
by any other party claiming to have represented Seller as broker or agent in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
10.3 Indemnification by
Buyer. From
and after Closing, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and
its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates,
successors and assigns from and against, and pay or reimburse each of them for
and with respect to any Loss relating to, arising out of or resulting
from:
(a) The
Assumed Obligations; and
(b) Any
breach by Buyer of any of its obligations of Buyer under the closing
documents.
10.4 Administration of
Indemnification. For
purposes of administering the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 10.2 and
Section 10.3,
the following procedure shall apply:
(a) Whenever
a claim shall arise for indemnification under this ARTICLE X, the party
entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”)
shall give a reasonably prompt written notice to the party from whom
indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”)
setting forth in reasonable detail, to the extent then available, the facts
concerning the nature of such claim and the basis upon which the Indemnified
Party believes that it is entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(b) In
the event of any claim for indemnification resulting from or in connection with
any claim by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its
sole expense, either (i) to participate in defending against such claim or (ii)
to assume the entire defense with counsel which is selected by it and which is
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided that no settlement
shall be made and no judgment consented to without the prior written consent of
the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If,
however, (x) the claim, action, suit or proceeding would, if successful, result
in the imposition of damages for which the Indemnifying Party would not be
solely responsible, or (y) representation of both parties by the same counsel
would otherwise be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between them, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the
entire defense and each party shall be entitled to retain counsel who shall
cooperate with one another in defending against such claim. In the
case of clause (x), the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to bear only that
portion of the expense of the Indemnified Party’s counsel that is in proportion
to the damages indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party compared to the total
amount of the third-party claim against the Indemnified Party. In the
case of clause (y), the Indemnifying Party shall pay all costs of defense of
both itself and the actual out-of-pocket costs of the Indemnified
Party.
27
(c) If
the Indemnifying Party does not choose to defend against a claim by a third
party, the Indemnified Party may defend in such manner as it deems appropriate
or settle the claim (after giving notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party) on
such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnified
Party shall be entitled to periodic reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party of
defense expenses incurred and prompt indemnification from the Indemnifying Party
in accordance with this ARTICLE
X.
(d) Failure
or delay by an Indemnified Party to give a reasonably prompt notice of any claim
shall not release, waive or otherwise affect an Indemnifying Party’s obligations
with respect to the claim, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can
demonstrate actual Loss or prejudice as a result of such failure or
delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
parties agree that no indemnification right or obligation shall apply to the
extent any such Loss or expense is paid to an Indemnified Party by an insurance
company.
(e) The
right to pursue indemnification as set forth in Sections 10.2(a) and
10.3(b) shall
survive the Closing hereunder for a period of twelve (12) months following the
Closing, and the right to pursue indemnification as set forth in all other
Sections of this ARTICLE X shall
survive the Closing hereunder.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the right to pursue indemnification
as set forth in this ARTICLE X shall be
actionable or payable only if valid claims for Losses, if any, collectively
aggregate more than Seventy One Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($71,000) (the
“Floor”); provided, however, that the
foregoing limitation shall not apply in the case of fraud on the part of Buyer,
Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, or to any claims arising under
Section
10.2(b), Section 10.2(d), or
Section 10.3(b)
(none of which shall be limited in any manner whatsoever). In
addition, Buyer agrees to concurrently seek recovery against Seller, under any
insurance policies, the Title Policy and other applicable agreements, and Seller
shall not be liable to Buyer to the extent Buyer’s claim is actually satisfied
from any sums recovered from such insurance policies, Title Policy or other
applicable agreements. FINALLY, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER
PARTY EVER BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OTHER THAN IN THE
EVENT OF FRAUD.
ARTICLE
XI
DEFAULT
AND TERMINATION
11.1 Right of
Termination. This
Agreement may be terminated prior to Closing as follows:
28
(a) By
Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time during the Due Diligence
Period for any reason or for no reason
whatsoever.
(b) By
written agreement of Seller and Buyer.
(c) By
Buyer if, as of the Closing or such earlier date as specified in this Agreement,
all conditions in ARTICLE VII have not
been met, or as specifically provided for in Sections 11.2(a)(i),
12.16, and
12.17; provided, however, that nothing
contained in this Section 11.1(c) shall
limit Seller’s rights pursuant to 11.2 below.
(d) By
Seller if, as of Closing or such earlier date as specified in this Agreement,
(i) all conditions in ARTICLE VII have been
met and Buyer defaults on its obligation to close this transaction, or (ii) the
conditions in ARTICLE
VIII have not been met; provided, however, that nothing
contained in this Section 11.1(d) shall
limit Seller’s rights pursuant to Section 11.2
below.
(e) By
Seller or Buyer if a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental
agency shall have issued an order, decree, or ruling or taken any other action
(which order, decree, or ruling the parties hereto shall use their diligent
efforts to lift), in each case permanently retraining, enjoining, or otherwise
prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or otherwise
determining that the consummation of such transactions would be unlawful, and
such order, decree or ruling shall have become final and
nonappealable.
(f) By
Seller as provided in Section
2.3. In
the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 11.1 or
pursuant to any other express provision of this Agreement for any reason other
than a default by the Seller or Buyer hereunder, then (i) this Agreement shall
be of no further force or effect as of the date of delivery of such written
notice of termination, (ii) the Buyer and Seller shall equally share the
cancellation charges, if any, of the Escrow Agent and Title Company, (iii) no
party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than pursuant
to any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this
Agreement and (iv) all Escrowed Funds shall be released to the party entitled to
the same in accordance with Section 2.4
hereof.
11.2 Remedies upon
Default.
(a) If
Seller defaults on any of Seller’s obligations hereunder other than as a result
of a prior uncured default by Buyer, and such default continues for ten (10)
days after written notice thereof specifying such default, Buyer may serve
notice in writing to the Seller in the manner provided in this Agreement, and
either:
|
(i)
|
Terminate
this Agreement, receive from Seller reimbursement of all actual
third-party out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer in pursuing the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement in an amount not to exceed
FIFTY THOUSAND U.S.
DOLLARS ($50,000.00), and pursue all legal remedies available at
law against Seller for Buyer’s actual damages which are caused by Seller’s
default hereunder and which damages are due to any government fines or
penalties; or
|
29
|
(ii)
|
Waive
any such conditions, title objections or defaults and consummate the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement in the same manner as if there
had been no title objections, conditions or defaults without any reduction
in the Purchase Price and without any further claim against the Seller
therefor and, if necessary, pursue an action for specific
performance.
|
(b) If
Buyer defaults on its obligation to close this transaction other than as a
result of a prior uncured default by Seller, Seller’s exclusive remedy shall be
to terminate this Agreement and receive the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty. Seller and Buyer agree that Seller’s
damages resulting from Buyer’s default are difficult if not impossible to
determine and the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit is a fair estimate of those damages
which has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of such damages to be
certain.
11.3 Specific
Performance. Seller
specifically agrees that Buyer shall be entitled, in the event of a default by
Seller, to enforcement of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance or
injunctive relief requiring Seller to fulfill its obligations under this
Agreement; provided that Buyer institutes any action for specific performance
within forty-five (45) days after the scheduled Closing Date. If
Buyer pursues an action for specific performance and prevails, Buyer shall not
be entitled to any monetary damages, except as set forth in Section
12.14.
11.4 Obligations Upon
Termination. Except
as otherwise provided herein, if this Agreement is terminated, each of the
parties shall bear its own costs incurred in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
11.5 Termination
Notice. Each
notice given by a party to terminate this Agreement shall specify the Section of
this ARTICLE XI
pursuant to which such notice is given. If at the time a party gives
a termination notice, such party is entitled to give such notice pursuant to
more than one Section of this ARTICLE XI, the
Section pursuant to which such notice is given and termination is effected shall
be deemed to be the Section specified in such notice provided that the party
giving such notice is at such time entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to the specified Section.
11.6 Sole and Exclusive
Remedy. Seller
and Buyer each acknowledge and agree that prior to the Closing, such party’s
sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims made prior to the
Closing for any breach or liability under this Agreement or otherwise relating
to the subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
shall be solely in accordance with, and limited to, Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3. The
foregoing shall in no manner limit the rights and obligations of the parties
provided in ARTICLE
X from and after the Closing. In addition, in no event shall
the provisions of this ARTICLE XI limit the
non-prevailing party’s obligation to pay the prevailing party’s attorneys’ fees
and costs pursuant to Section 12.14
hereof.

XII

shall be deemed to have been given (i) if so sent by facsimile, upon receipt as
evidenced by the sender’s written confirmation of receipt, (ii) if so mailed, as
of the date delivered, (iii) if emailed, when sent (provided that e-mail does
not constitute delivery of any communication that is a required notice or demand
hereunder), and (iv) if so delivered by courier, on the date
received.
12.3 Entire
Agreement. This
Agreement and the other Documents constitute the entire agreement and
understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersede any prior negotiations, agreements, understandings, or arrangements
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof.
12.4 Binding Effect;
Benefits. Except
as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and
be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors or permitted
assigns. Except to the extent specified herein, nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, shall confer on any person other than the parties
hereto and any Indemnified Party and their respective successors or permitted
assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of
this Agreement.
12.5 Assignment. This
Agreement may not be assigned by any party prior to Closing without the written
consent of the Buyer and Seller, which consent may be given or withheld in each
such party’s sole and absolute discretion, except that Buyer may assign this
Agreement and its rights hereunder without the consent of Seller (i) to an
Affiliate of Buyer, (ii) to a partnership in which Buyer or any Affiliate of
Buyer is a general partner, (iii) a limited liability company in which Buyer or
any Affiliate of Buyer is a manager or managing member or (iv) any other lawful
entity entitled to do business in the state in which the Property is located
provided such entity is controlled by, controlling or under the common control
with Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer (each, a “Permitted
Buyer-Assignee”). In the event of such an assignment to a
Permitted Buyer-Assignee, Buyer shall not be released from any of its duties,
covenants, obligations or representations and warranties under this Agreement
and, from and after any such assignment, Buyer and such Permitted Buyer-Assignee
shall be jointly and severally liable under this Agreement, and from and after
any such assignment, the term “Buyer” shall be deemed to mean such Permitted
Buyer-Assignee under any such assignment.
32
12.6 Governing
Law. This
Agreement shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the state in which the Real Property is located without regard to
its principles of conflicts of laws. Venue for any dispute shall be
in Dallas County, Texas.
12.7 Amendments and
Waivers. No
term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived, discharged, or
terminated orally, except by an instrument in writing signed by: (i) Buyer and
Seller with respect to any provision contained herein; and (ii) Buyer, Seller,
and Escrow Agent with respect to Section 2.5
hereof. Any waiver shall be effective only in accordance with its
express terms and conditions.
12.8 Obligations
Several. If
there is more than one entity constituting Seller hereunder, such entities shall
be severally liable for performing only the obligations of each such entity
under this Agreement.
12.9 Severability. Any
provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability
without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, the parties hereto hereby waive any provision of
Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect which renders any provision hereof
unenforceable in any respect.
12.10 Headings. The
captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not
define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.
12.11 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed and accepted in one or more counterparts for the
convenience of the parties, each of which will be deemed an original and all of
which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same
instrument. Delivery of a counterpart hereof via facsimile
transmission or by electronic mail transmission shall be as effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
12.12 References. All
references in this Agreement to Articles and Sections are to Articles and
Sections contained in this Agreement unless a different document is expressly
specified.
12.13 Seller Disclosure
Letter. The
Seller Disclosure Letter delivered by the Seller to Buyer pursuant to this
Agreement, and each Schedule and Exhibit comprising the Seller Disclosure Letter
referred to in this Agreement, shall be deemed to be attached hereto and
incorporated by reference even though it may be maintained separately from this
Agreement or completed after the Effective Date so long as it is acknowledged as
a Schedule or an Exhibit to this Agreement by the parties hereto as of
Closing. Any item disclosed hereunder (including in the Schedules and
Exhibits hereto) shall be deemed disclosed for all purposes hereof irrespective
of the specific representation or warranty to which it is explicitly
referenced.
12.14 Attorneys’
Fees. In
the event either party brings an action to enforce or interpret any of the
provisions of this Agreement, the “prevailing party” in such action shall, in
addition to any other recovery, be entitled to its reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses arising from such action and any appeal or any bankruptcy action
related thereto, whether or not such matter proceeds to trial. For
purposes of this Section 12.14, “prevailing party”
shall mean, in the case of a person asserting a claim, such person is successful
in obtaining substantially all of the relief sought, and in the case of a person
defending against or responding to a claim, such person is successful in denying
substantially all of the relief sought.
33
12.15 Section 1031 Exchange/Tax
Planning. If
requested by either Buyer or Seller, the other party shall cooperate in
permitting the other to accomplish an exchange under Section 1031 of the Code or
to restructure this transaction in a way which is more advantageous for tax
purposes; provided, however, that such
exchange or restructuring shall not modify any underlying financial or other
material terms of this Agreement, shall not delay the Closing, shall not relieve
Buyer or Seller of any liability for their respective obligations hereunder, and
shall not result in any other party incurring any greater cost or expense that
it otherwise would if any such exchange had not been elected.
12.16 Casualty. The
risk of any loss or damage to the Property by fire or other casualty before the
Closing shall continue to be borne by Seller. Seller shall promptly
give Buyer written notice of any fire or other casualty (in any event within
five (5) days after Seller first has knowledge of the occurrence of same), which
notice shall include a description thereof in reasonable detail and an estimate
of the cost of time to repair. If (i) any portion of the Property is
damaged by fire or casualty after the Effective Date and is not repaired and
restored substantially to its original condition prior to Closing, or (ii) at
the time of Closing the estimated cost of repairs as to the Property is FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($500,000.00) or less, as determined by an
independent adjuster selected by Seller, Buyer shall be required to purchase the
Property in accordance with this Agreement, and Buyer shall, at Buyer’s option,
either: (x) receive a credit at Closing of the estimated cost or repairs to
the Property, as determined by the aforesaid independent adjuster, plus any
reasonably estimated lost revenue following Closing arising from such fire or
casualty; or (y) receive from Seller at Closing (I) an assignment, without
representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller, of all insurance
claims and proceeds with respect thereto, plus (II) an amount equal to Seller’s
insurance deductible, plus (III) a credit for the amount of any reasonably
estimated lost revenue following Closing arising from such fire or
casualty. If the estimated cost of repairing such damage to the
Property is more than FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($500,000.00), as
determined by such independent adjuster, or if the damage results in the
termination of any lease for the Real Property, Buyer may, at its sole option:
(x) terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller on or before the earlier
of the Closing or the tenth (10th) day
after receipt of such notice described above, in which event no party shall have
any further liability to the party under this Agreement; or (y) proceed to
Closing as provided in this Section
12.16. In no event shall the amount of insurance proceeds
assigned to Buyer under this subparagraph (plus the amount of the deductible)
exceed the lesser of (i) the cost of repair or (ii) the Purchase
Price. The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 12.16 shall
survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.
12.17 Condemnation. The
risk of any loss or damage to the Property by condemnation before the Closing
shall continue to be borne by Seller. In the event any condemnation
proceeding is commenced or threatened, Seller shall promptly give Buyer written
notice thereof (in any event within five (5) days after Seller first has
knowledge of the occurrence of same), together with such reasonable details with
respect thereto as to which Seller may have knowledge. If, prior to
Closing, there is a material taking by eminent domain at the Property, this
Agreement shall become null and void at Buyer’s option, and upon receipt by
Seller of the written notice of an election by Buyer to treat this Agreement as
null and void, this Agreement shall be deemed null and void. If Buyer elects to
proceed and to consummate the purchase despite said material taking, or if there
is less than a material taking prior to Closing, there shall be no reduction in
or abatement of the Purchase Price and Buyer shall be required to purchase the
Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Seller shall assign
to Buyer, without representation of warranty by or recourse against Seller, all
of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any award made or to be made in
the condemnation proceeding (in which event Buyer shall have the right to
participate in the adjustment and settlement of any insurance claim relating to
said damage). For the purpose of this Section 12.17, the
term “material”
shall mean any taking of in excess of ten percent (10%) of the square footage of
the Property or twenty percent (20%) of the Real Property associated with the
Property or any taking which results in the termination of any lease for the
Real Property. The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 12.17 shall
survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.
34
12.18 Limited
Liability. No
past, present, or future member, partner, shareholder, director, officer of
employee of any party to this Agreement shall have any liability or obligation
of any nature whatsoever in connection with or under this Agreement or Document
contemplated hereby or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any such other agreement.
12.19 Survival of Defined
Terms. Where
this Agreement provides that a term or provision shall survive the Closing or
the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, any defined terms
contained in ARTICLE
I that are used in such surviving term or provision shall also
survive.
12.20 Time of
Essence. Time
shall be of the essence with respect to all matters contemplated by this
Agreement.
12.21 No Third-Party
Beneficiary. The
provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be executed and delivered
at Closing are and will be for the benefit of the Buyer, Seller, Guarantor and
Escrow Agent only and are not for the benefit of any third party; and,
accordingly, no third party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of
this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at
Closing.
12.22 WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL. EACH
PARTY HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT
