CLOSING

8.1Closing.

(a)Closing Date. Assuming that all conditions to closing have been satisfied or affirmatively waived by Purchaser and Sellers, and this Agreement has not otherwise been terminated, the consummation of the transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place on May 16, 2023 (the “Original Closing Date”), subject to such extensions of the Original Closing Date as may be exercised pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement (the Original Closing Date, as may be so extended, the “Closing Date”), provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Closing Date falls on either: (i) a day that is not immediately preceded by a Business Day, or (ii) a Friday, the Closing Date shall be on the first Business Day after such date that is immediately preceded by a Business Day.

Subject to Sections 5.5, 5.6, and Error! Reference source not found., Sellers and Purchaser agree that the Closing shall be consummated through the customary practice among Canadian solicitors representing sellers and purchasers of real property in Ontario, Canada, and neither party need be present at Closing. In furtherance of the foregoing, on the Closing Date, all documents and funds shall be delivered to Sellers’ Solicitors, and shall be held by them in trust until release is authorized as set out in a document registration agreement, in the form adopted by the Joint LSUC-CBAO Committee on Electronic Registration of Title Documents on March 29, 2004 or any successor version thereto, and acceptable to Sellers’ Solicitors and Purchaser’s solicitors, acting reasonably, and entered into by Purchaser’s solicitors and Sellers’ Solicitors at or prior to Closing, providing for the holding and release of documents and funds.

(c)Extensions to Closing for Liens. In the event there is a construction lien (and related certificate of action, if applicable) registered against title to an Individual Property on the Closing Date, Sellers shall be entitled to extend the Original Closing Date for one (1) additional thirty (30) day period, in order to allow Sellers to obtain a discharge of such construction lien (and an order vacating such certificate of action, if applicable) from title to the Individual Property.

(d)Extensions to Closing for Private Encumbrances. In the event that the Private Encumbrancer has not caused its solicitors to enter into the Multi-Party DRA in respect of the discharge of the Private Encumbrance, or the Private Encumbrancer, or its solicitors, have not made a registerable discharge of such Private Encumbrance available to Sellers’ Solicitors on or before Closing, and, in each case, any Seller anticipates that such failure will result in Sellers’ failing to deliver title to the Property to the Purchaser on the Original Closing Date, free and clear of the Private Encumbrance, the Original Closing Date shall be extended for such period of time as required so as to enable such Seller to obtain a discharge of such Private Encumbrance.

8.2Assumption of Development Obligations. On Closing, Sellers and Nominees shall each assign, to the extent assignable without third party consent, and Purchaser shall, from and after the Closing

8.4Replacement Security.

(a)Xxxxxxx Security. Seller of the Xxxxxxx Property has delivered the security set out in Schedule 8.4(a) to one or more governmental authorities and/or utilities (the “Xxxxxxx Security”). Purchaser covenants and agrees to undertake commercially reasonably efforts, on or prior to the Closing Date, at its sole cost, to lodge replacement security with the relevant governmental authority in replacement of the Xxxxxxx Security (the Xxxxxxx Replacement Security) such that the Xxxxxxx Security is released to such Seller, or as it may direct, on or before Closing, failing which, such Seller covenants and agrees that its interest in such Xxxxxxx Security shall be assigned to Purchaser on or before Closing, which assignment shall include, inter alia, an irrevocable direction to such relevant governmental authority directing the release of such Xxxxxxx Security to Purchaser upon the satisfaction of all release conditions applicable thereto, in exchange for which such Seller shall receive a credit in the amount of such Xxxxxxx Security, on the Statement of Adjustments.

Purchaser confirms that it will be registered on the Closing Date with Canada Revenue Agency or any successor thereto (the CRA) in compliance with Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) relating to the federal goods and services tax (the HST). Purchaser agrees that the Purchase Price and any other amounts payable to Sellers hereunder do not include HST or any other applicable taxes and that, if and to the extent required under the Excise Tax Act (Canada) (the “ETA”), Purchaser will remit to Sellers on the Closing Date any HST that may be exigible under the ETA in respect of the transaction contemplated herein, and Sellers agree that they will remit such funds or otherwise account for such funds to the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) in accordance with its obligations under the ETA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser is a corporation which is registered for HST purposes and, on or before the Closing Date, Purchaser provides Sellers with a certificate as to the HST registered status of Purchaser containing Purchaser’s HST registration number, Purchaser will not be required to pay the HST to Sellers but will be entitled to self-assess the HST and account for the same directly to the CRA. Such certificate shall be in the customary form and shall contain an indemnity from Purchaser in favour of Sellers with respect to the payment of HST by Purchaser in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Purchaser covenants and agrees, from and after the Effective Date, to apply for, and to proceed diligently and continuously to obtain, a registration number for HST purposes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to minimize (or eliminate) any taxes described in this Section 8.2(c) as are applicable to the purchase and sale of the Property, including any taxes payable under the Excise Tax Act (Canada) in respect of the Closing. To the extent applicable, the parties agree to make the joint election under Section 167 of Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) in respect of the sale of the Property. Purchaser shall be responsible for filing such election with the applicable taxing regulatory authorities within the time set out in subsection 167(1.1) of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and shall indemnify Sellers in respect of any HST payable on the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms hereof.
