ARTICLE IV
TITLE
Section 4.1 Conditions of Title.
(a) Buyer shall obtain a title report from Buyer’s Title Company (the “Title Report”), and copies of all underlying documents relating to title exceptions referred to therein. Seller shall deliver to Buyer any ALTA survey of the Property, which is currently in Seller’s file (the “Survey”). Buyer shall be responsible for any update to the Survey which it may require or may be necessary to support the issuance of the Title Policy (as defined in Section 4.2 below). Buyer shall provide a copy of any updates to the Survey, which shall be certified to the Title Company, Buyer’s Title Company, Buyer and Seller. Buyer shall pay the entire cost of any updates to the Survey.
(b) On or before 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on August 31, 2011 (the “Title Review Date”), Buyer shall furnish Seller with a written statement of objections, if any, to the title to the Property, including, without limitation, any objections to any matter shown on the Survey or any update to the Survey obtained by Buyer prior to such date (collectively, “Objections”). In the event the Buyer’s Title Company amends or updates the Title Report after the Title Review Date (each, a “Title Report Update”), Buyer shall furnish Seller with a written statement of Objections to any matter first raised in a Title Report Update within three (3) business days after its receipt of such Title Report Update (each, a “Title Update Review Period”). Should Buyer fail to notify Seller in writing of any Objections in the Title Report or the Survey prior to the Title Review Date, or to any matter first disclosed in a Title Report Update prior to the Title Update Review Period, as applicable, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved such matters which shall be considered to be “Conditions of Title” as defined in Section 4.1(e) below.
(c) If Seller receives a timely Objection in accordance with Section 4.1(b) (“Buyer’s Notice”), Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, within one (1) business day after receipt of Buyer’s Notice (“Seller’s Response Period”), to elect to attempt to cure any such matter upon written notice to Buyer (“Seller’s Response”), and may extend the Closing Date for up to fifteen (15) business days to allow such cure. If Seller does not give any Seller’s Response, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any such matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall in any event be obligated to cure all matters or items (i) that are
14
mortgage or deed of trust liens or security interests against the Property, in each case granted by Seller (and not the Tenant or other third parties), (ii) real estate tax liens, other than liens for taxes and assessments not yet delinquent and (iii) that have been voluntarily placed against the Property by Seller (and not the Tenant or other third parties) after the date of this Agreement and that are not otherwise permitted pursuant to the provisions hereof. Seller shall be entitled to apply the Purchase Price towards the payment or satisfaction of such liens, and may cure any Objection by causing the Buyer’s Title Company to insure against collection of the same out of the Property.
(d) If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure any Objections raised in any Buyer’s Notice timely delivered by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 4.1(b), or if Seller notifies Buyer that it elects to cure any such Objection but then does not for any reason effect such cure on or before the Closing Date as it may be extended hereunder, then Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the option of terminating this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller within one (1) business day after (as applicable) (i) its receipt of Seller’s Response stating that Seller will not cure any such Objection or (ii) the expiration of Seller’s Response Period if Seller does not deliver a Seller’s Response, or (iii) Seller’s failure to cure by the Closing Date (as it may be extended hereunder) any Objection which Seller has previously elected to cure pursuant to a Seller’s Response. In the event of such a termination, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further-rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Sections 6.1, 9.3 and 9.9 below. If no such termination notice is timely received by Seller hereunder, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all such Objections in which event those Objections shall become “Conditions of Title” under Section 4.1(e). If the Closing is not consummated for any reason other than Seller’s default hereunder, Buyer shall be responsible for any title or escrow cancellation charges.
(e) At the Closing, Seller shall convey title to the Property to Buyer by deed in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Deed”) subject to no exceptions other than:
(i) | Interests of the Tenant in possession under its Lease; |
(ii) | Matters created by or with the written consent of Buyer; |
(iii) | Non-delinquent liens for real estate taxes and assessments; and |
(iv) | Any exceptions disclosed by the Title Report and any Title Report Update which is approved or deemed approved by Buyer in accordance with this Article IV above. |
All of the foregoing exceptions shall be referred to collectively as the “Conditions of Title.” Subject to the terms and conditions contained elsewhere in this Agreement, by acceptance of the Deed and the Closing of the purchase’ and sale of the Property, (x) Buyer agrees it is assuming for the benefit of Seller all of the obligations of Seller with respect to the Conditions of Title from and after the Closing, and (y) Buyer agrees that Seller shall have conclusively satisfied its obligations with respect to title to the Property. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.
15
In addition, at the Closing, Seller shall convey its interest in the Leasehold Interest to Buyer pursuant to the Ground Lease Assignment (as such term is defined in Section 8.3(a)(7) herein) subject to no exceptions other than those exceptions referenced in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.
Section 4.2 Evidence of Title.
Delivery of title in accordance with the foregoing shall be evidenced by the Buyer’s Title Company’s issuance, at Closing, of its TLTA-T-1 Policy of Title Insurance in the amount of the Purchase Price showing title to the Real Property vested in Buyer, subject to the Conditions of Title (the “Title Policy”). The Title Policy may contain such endorsements as reasonably required by Buyer provided that the issuance of such endorsements shall not be a condition to Buyer’s obligations hereunder. Buyer shall pay the costs for all such endorsements. Seller shall provide the normal and customary affidavits and indemnities in order to allow the Buyer’s Title Company to issue the basic Title Policy (including, but not limited to, an owner’s affidavit regarding parties in possession), but Seller shall have no obligation to provide any indemnity or agreement to the Buyer’s Title Company or Buyer to support the issuance of any such endorsements or additions to the Title Policy.

Buyer shall be bound to purchase the Property for the full Purchase Price as required by the terms hereof, without regard to the occurrence or effect of any damage to the Property or the Ground Lease Land or destruction of any improvements thereon or condemnation of any portion of the Property or the Ground Lease Land, provided that: (a) such damage to the Property and/or the Ground Lease Land is not Material (as hereinafter defined) or in the case of a condemnation, the diminution in the value of the remaining Property as a result of a partial condemnation is not Material (as hereinafter defined) and (b) upon the Closing, there shall be a credit against the Purchase Price due hereunder equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards collected by Seller as a result of any such damage or destruction or condemnation, plus the amount of any insurance deductible, less any sums reasonably expended by Seller toward the collection of such proceeds or awards and the restoration or repair of the Property and/or the Ground Lease Land (the nature of which restoration or repairs, but not the right of Seller to effect such restoration or repairs, shall be subject to the approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the proceeds or awards have not been collected as of the Closing, then such proceeds or awards shall be assigned to Buyer, except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums expended to collect such proceeds or awards or to repair or restore the Property and/or the Ground Lease Land, and Seller shall retain the rights to such proceeds and awards to such extent. For purposes hereof, damage shall be deemed “Material” if: (i) any such damage is uninsured (to the extent that Seller does not give Buyer at Closing a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of any such uninsured loss, provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 5.1 and 5.2, Seller shall have no obligation to give Buyer any credit at
16
Closing for any uninsured loss), (ii) the cost to repair any such damage or destruction to their condition prior to such damage or destruction exceeds Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00) in the estimate of an architect or contractor selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer, (iii) the damage causes access to or parking on the Property and/or the Ground Lease Land to be materially adversely affected on a permanent basis, (iv) the damage results in the Property and/or the Ground Lease Land materially violating any laws or materially failing to comply with zoning or any covenants, conditions or restrictions affecting the Property and/or the Ground Lease Land, or (v) the damage entitles the Tenant to terminate its Lease and such termination right is not waived prior to Closing or to xxxxx rent for a period beyond Closing and such abatement is not covered by insurance that is either carried by Buyer or that will be assigned by Seller to Buyer and are assignable to Buyer. A condemnation shall be deemed “Material” if (1) any portion of any net rentable area of the Property or any material portion of the parking on the Property and/or the Ground Lease Land is taken or the value of the Property taken exceeds Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00), (2) the existing access to the Property and/or the Ground Lease Land is materially adversely affected on a permanent basis, (3) the condemnation results in the Property and/or the Ground Lease Land materially violating any laws or materially failing to comply with zoning or any covenants, conditions or restrictions affecting the Property and/or the Ground Lease Land, or (4) the condemnation entitles the Tenant to terminate its Lease and such termination right is not waived prior to Closing or to xxxxx rent for a period beyond Closing and such abatement is not covered by insurance that is either carried by Buyer or that will be assigned by Seller to Buyer and are assignable to Buyer.

If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller or fails to give Seller notice within such ten (10) day period that Buyer will proceed with the purchase, then this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Sections 6.1, 9.3 and 9.9 below. If Buyer elects to proceed with the purchase, then upon the Closing, there shall be a credit against the Purchase Price due hereunder equal to the amount of any uninsured loss (if any) with respect to which Seller elects, in Seller’s sole discretion, to give Buyer a credit at Closing, plus the amount of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards collected by Seller as a result of any such damage or destruction or condemnation, plus the amount of any insurance deductible, less any sums expended by Seller toward the collection of such proceeds or awards or to restoration or repair of the Property and/or the Ground Lease Land (the nature of which restoration or repairs, but not the right of Seller to effect such restoration or repairs, shall be subject to the approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the proceeds or awards have not been collected as of the Closing, then such proceeds or awards shall be assigned
17
to Buyer, except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums reasonably expended to collect such proceeds or awards or to repair or restore the Property and/or the Ground Lease Land, and Seller shall retain the rights to such proceeds and awards to such extent. A condemnation shall be deemed material if any portion of any net rentable area of the Property or any parking on the Property and/or the Ground Lease Land is taken, or the existing access to the Property and/or the Ground Lease Land is materially and adversely affected.

(b) If Seller is unable to obtain and deliver the SNDA or Estoppel Certificate as required under Section 8.4(a), or if the Estoppel Certificate and/or the SNDA received contains material modifications, information or omissions unacceptable to Buyer in its reasonable discretion (i) that were not expressly disclosed to Buyer in writing prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, or (ii) of which Buyer otherwise did not obtain actual knowledge prior to the end of the Contingency Period, and Buyer objects thereto by written notice to Seller within two (2) business days after receipt by Buyer of the objectionable Estoppel Certificate and/or SNDA, but in any event on or before the Closing Date, then Seller will not be in default by reason thereof, and Seller may elect to extend the Closing Date by up to fifteen (15) days in order to satisfy the requirement. If Seller still cannot satisfy the requirement at the end of such extended period, then Buyer may, by written notice given to Seller before the Closing, elect to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit or waive said condition. If Buyer so elects to terminate this Agreement, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Section 6.1 above and Sections 9.3 and 9.9 below. If no such notice is delivered by Buyer, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such condition.
(c) As a condition to Buyer’s obligation to buy the Property from Seller, prior to the Closing, RREEF shall have executed and delivered to Buyer a Ground Lessor’s Agreement and Consent (the “Ground Lessor’s Agreement and Consent”) without any changes from the form to be agreed upon by Seller and Buyer in their reasonable discretion prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period. As soon as possible after the Effective Date, Seller and Buyer shall use their good faith efforts to agree upon the form of the Ground Lessor’s Agreement and Consent and Seller shall send to RREEF the Ground Lessor’s Agreement and Consent, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause RREEF to execute and deliver the Ground Lessor’s Agreement and Consent prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period. Seller shall promptly remit to Buyer the executed Ground Lease Estoppel after Seller’s receipt of the same.
Section 8.5 Prorations.
(a) Rents, including, without limitation, percentage rents, if any, and any additional charges and expenses payable by the Tenant under its Lease, all as and when actually collected; real property taxes and assessments; all other income from the Property; water, sewer and utility charges; amounts payable under any Service Contracts or other agreements or documents; annual permits and/or inspection fees (calculated on the basis of the period covered); and any other expenses of the operation and maintenance of the Property (including, without limitation, expenses prepaid by Seller), shall all be prorated as of 12:01 a.m. on the date of Closing (i.e., Buyer is entitled to the income and responsible for the expenses of the day of Closing), on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year. All expenses under this Section 8.5 shall be prorated based upon the periods to which they relate and are applicable, regardless of when they are payable. Buyer shall reimburse Seller and Seller shall credit Buyer for the tenant improvement costs, leasing commissions, legal fees and other expenses, and free rent and other concessions, as provided in Section 7.2.
All rents collected after the Closing shall be applied and paid as provided in this Section 8.5(a). If the Tenant shall specifically designate a payment, other than a monthly installment of rent, as being attributable to a specific period of time or for a specific purpose,
23
including, without limitation, for operating expenses or real estate tax payments which were not paid or were underpaid by the Tenant or for reimbursement for work performed by Seller on the Tenant’s premises, such payment shall be so applied. If there is no such designation, any payment received from the Tenant after Closing shall be deemed a payment of rent due after the Closing until the Tenant is current on rents and sums due under the Lease on or after the Closing, and then such payments shall be paid to Seller to the extent of any rent or other sums owing to Seller for periods prior to Closing. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to collect such rents and other sums owing to Seller. Seller retains the right to collect any such rents and other sums from the Tenant after Closing; provided, however, that Seller shall have no right to cause the Tenant to be evicted or to exercise any other landlord remedy against the Tenant other than to xxx for collection and provided further that Seller shall give Buyer thirty (30) days’ prior written notice before filing suit against the Tenant.
To the extent any expenses or charges for the Property are paid by the Tenant to the landlord under its Lease on an estimated basis, for which a future reconciliation of actual to estimates is to be performed, Seller and Buyer agree that: (i) (A) Seller shall be responsible to send all reconciliations of such costs and expenses for 2010 prepared by Seller and delivered to Buyer, (B) Seller and Buyer shall cooperate as necessary to prepare such reconciliations, (C) Buyer shall be responsible for collecting from the Tenant and paying to Seller any amounts owed to Seller related thereto if and when received by Buyer, and (D) Seller shall be responsible to pay Buyer any overpayments of such costs and expenses owed to the Tenant, which payment obligations to Seller or Buyer, as applicable, shall survive Closing, and (ii) Seller and Buyer shall make a preliminary adjustment at Closing with respect to such costs and expenses for 2011 based on a comparison for the Tenant premises of the actual expenses for the Property paid by Seller for 2011 as of the Closing Date allocable to that space to the estimated expenses for the Property paid by the Tenant to Seller for 2011 (the “Tenant Payments”). The preliminary adjustment for 2011 shall be calculated as follows: to the extent the Tenant Payments made to Seller as of the Closing Date with respect to 2011 exceed the actual expenses for the Property paid by Seller as of the Closing Date with respect to 2011 allocable to that space, Buyer shall receive a credit for the excess Tenant Payments. To the extent actual expenses for the Property paid by Seller for 2011 as of the Closing Date allocable to that space exceed the Tenant Payments as of the Closing Date for 2011, Buyer shall pay Seller such amount when and to the extent such payments are collected from the Tenant. Subsequent to Closing, Buyer shall assume all rights and obligations to collect from or pay to the Tenant any reconciliation amounts. Any prorations based on an estimated basis shall be subject to reproration upon the final determination of such amounts.
The amount of any cash security deposit held by Seller under the Lease shall be credited against the Purchase Price (and Seller shall be entitled to retain such cash security deposit). If the security deposit is held in the form of a letter of credit, Seller shall (i) deliver the original letter of credit to Buyer at Closing, (ii) execute and deliver at Closing such other instruments as the issuer of such letter of credit shall reasonably require in order to cause the named beneficiary under such letter of credit to be changed to Buyer, and (iii) provide Buyer with a credit at Closing against the Purchase Price in the amount of any transfer costs associated with such transfer. Seller shall receive credits at Closing for the amount of any utility or other deposits with respect to the Property. Buyer shall cause all utilities to be transferred into Buyer’s name and account at the time of Closing.
24
Seller and Buyer hereby agree that if any of the aforesaid prorations and credits cannot be calculated accurately on the Closing Date or in the case of rents or other charges received from the Tenant, such amount have not been collected, then the same shall be calculated as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date or the date such amounts have been collected, and either party owing the other party a sum of money based on such subsequent proration(s) or credits shall pay said sum to the other party within thirty (30) days thereafter. Any amounts not paid within such thirty (30) day period shall bear interest from the date actually received by the payor until paid at the greater of (i) the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or (ii) the prime rate (or base rate) reported from time to time in the “Money Rates” column or section of The Wall Street Journal as being the base rate on corporate loans at larger United States money center commercial banks plus two (2) percent. Upon request of either party, the parties shall provide a detailed and accurate written statement signed by such party certifying as to the payments received by such party from the Tenant from and after Closing and to the manner in which such payments were applied, and shall make their books and records available for inspection by the other party during ordinary business hours upon reasonable advance notice.
Buyer shall be entitled to receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing for the amount of the rent subsidy to the extent more particularly set forth in Exhibit G attached hereto and made a part hereof.
(b) Buyer shall pay: (i) one-half (1/2) of the escrow charges and all recording fees; (ii) the title insurance costs in connection with the deletion of the area and boundary exception from the Title Policy and any endorsement or reinsurance charges; (iii) the cost of any update of the Survey; and (iv) all of its own legal fees. Seller shall pay: (i) one-half (1/2) of the escrow charges; (ii) the cost of “standard” coverage for the Title Policy (excluding the premium for the deletion of the area and boundary exception); (iii) all transfer taxes, (iv) all fees and costs related to the assignment of the Ground Lease, and (v) all of its own legal fees. The parties will execute and deliver any required transfer or other similar tax declarations to the appropriate governmental entity at Closing.

Section 9.2 Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and schedules hereto, contains all representations, warranties and covenants made by Buyer and Seller and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any prior correspondence, memoranda or agreements (including, without limitation, the terms and conditions of any access agreement previously entered into by and between Seller and Buyer) are replaced in total by this Agreement together with the Exhibits and Schedules hereto.
Section 9.3 Entry and Indemnity.
In connection with any entry by Buyer, or its agents, employees or contractors onto the Property, Buyer shall give Seller reasonable advance notice of such entry and shall conduct such entry and any inspections in connection therewith (a) during normal business hours, (b) so as to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, interference with Seller’s business and the business of the Tenant, (c) in compliance with all applicable laws, and (d) otherwise in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to any entry to perform any on-site testing, including but not limited to any air sampling, borings, drillings or samplings, Buyer shall give Seller written notice thereof, including the identity of the company or persons who will perform such testing and the proposed scope and methodology of the testing. Other than a Phase
27
I environmental investigation, which shall not require consent, Seller shall approve or disapprove, in Seller’s sole discretion, the proposed testing within three (3) business days after receipt of such notice. If Seller fails to respond within such three (3) business day period, Seller shall be deemed to have disapproved the proposed testing. If Buyer or its agents, employees or contractors take any sample from the Property in connection with any such approved testing, Buyer shall provide to Seller a portion of such sample being tested to allow Seller, if it so chooses, to perform its own testing. Buyer shall permit Seller or its representative to be present to observe any testing or other inspection or due diligence review performed on or at the Property. Upon the request of Seller, Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller copies of any final reports relating to any testing or other inspection of the Property performed by Buyer or its agents, representatives, employees, contractors or consultants; provided, however, Seller may not rely upon the accuracy of any such documentation and Buyer makes no representation or warranty concerning the accuracy thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall not contact any governmental authority or the Tenant without first notifying Seller and Seller, at Seller’s election, shall be entitled to have a representative participate in any telephone or other contact made by Buyer to the Tenant and present at any meeting by Buyer with the Tenant (except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer need not notify Seller with respect to any routine conversations with any governmental agency in connection with the procurement of a zoning letter from any such governmental agency.) Buyer shall maintain, and shall assure that its contractors maintain, public liability and property damage insurance in amounts and in form and substance adequate to insure against all liability of Buyer and its agents, employees or contractors, arising out of any entry or inspections of the Property pursuant to the provisions hereof, and Seller and Seller’s lender shall be named as additional insureds on such insurance. Buyer shall provide Seller with evidence of such insurance coverage upon request by Seller. Except for the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller and its agents, employees and contractors, Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any costs, damages, liabilities, losses, expenses, liens or claims (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising out of or relating to any entry on the Property by Buyer, its agents, employees or contractors in the course of performing the inspections, testings or inquiries provided for in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any release of Hazardous Materials or any damage to the Property; provided that Buyer shall not be liable to Seller solely as a result of the discovery by Buyer of a pre-existing condition on the Property to the extent the activities of Buyer, its agents, representatives, employees, contractors or consultants do not exacerbate the condition. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall be in addition to any access or indemnity agreement previously executed by Buyer in connection with the Property; provided that in the event of any inconsistency between this Section 9.3 and such other agreement, the provisions of this Section 9.3 shall govern. The foregoing indemnity shall survive beyond the Closing, or, if the sale is not consummated, beyond the termination of this Agreement. Buyer’s right of entry, as provided in this Section 9.3, shall continue up through the date of Closing.
Section 9.4 Time.
Time is of the essence in the performance of each of the parties’ respective obligations contained herein.
28
Section 9.5 Attorneys’ Fees.
If either party hereto fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or if any dispute arises between the parties hereto concerning the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, whether prior to or after Closing, or if any party defaults in payment of its post-Closing financial obligations under this Agreement, then the defaulting party or the party not prevailing in such dispute, as the case may be, shall pay any and all costs and expenses incurred by the other party on account of such default and/or in enforcing or establishing its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.
Section 9.6 Assignment.
Buyer’s rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable without the prior written consent of Seller in Seller’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right, without the necessity of obtaining Seller’s consent but with prior written notice to Seller, to assign its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement to an entity that is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) (or that is wholly owned directly or indirectly by a REIT) for which Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer acts as the investment advisor at the Closing Date. Buyer shall in no event be released from any of its obligations or liabilities hereunder in connection with any assignment. Without limiting and notwithstanding the above, in no event shall Buyer have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder to any party which could not make the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.5(e) and (g) above, and in connection with any assignment pursuant to the terms hereof, the assignee shall reconfirm in a written instrument acceptable to Seller and delivered to Seller prior to end of the Contingency Period said representation and warranty as applied to the assignee and that all other terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to such assignee and are being assumed by assignee. Subject to the provisions of this Section, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 9.7 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 9.8 Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Real Property is located.
Section 9.9 Confidentiality and Return of Documents.
Buyer and Seller shall each maintain as confidential any and all material obtained about the other or, in the case of Buyer, about the Property, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall not disclose such information to any third party (except that following the Closing, Buyer may disclose information regarding the Property without limitation). Except as may be required by law, Buyer will not divulge any such information to other persons or entities including, without limitation, appraisers, real estate brokers, or
29
competitors of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to disclose information with respect to the Property to its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, environmental auditors, engineers, potential lenders, and permitted assignees under this Agreement and other consultants to the extent necessary for Buyer to evaluate its acquisition of the Property provided that all such persons are told that such information is confidential and agree (in writing for any third party engineers, environmental auditors or other consultants) to keep such information confidential. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement. In the event the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not close as provided herein, upon the request of Seller, Buyer shall promptly return to Seller all Due Diligence Materials and other documents and copies obtained by Buyer in connection with the purchase of the Property hereunder; provided, however, Seller may not rely upon the accuracy of any such documentation and Buyer makes no representation or warranty concerning the accuracy thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall impair Buyer’s (or its permitted assignee’s) right to disclose information relating to this Agreement or the Property (a) to any due diligence representatives and/or consultants that are engaged by, work for or are acting on behalf of, any securities dealers and/or broker dealers evaluating Buyer or its permitted assignees, (b) in connection with any filings (including any amendment or supplement to any S-11 filing) with governmental agencies (including the SEC) by any REIT holding, or that is considering holding, an interest (direct or indirect) in any permitted assignee of Buyer, and (c) to any broker/dealers in the Buyer’s or any REIT’s broker/dealer network and any of the REIT’s or Buyer’s investors.
Section 9.10 Interpretation of Agreement.
The article, section and other headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning of any provision contained herein. Where the context so requires, the use of the singular shall include the plural and vice versa and the use of the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter. The term “person” shall include any individual, partnership, joint venture, corporation, trust, unincorporated association, any other entity and any government or any department or agency thereof, whether acting in an individual, fiduciary or other capacity.
Section 9.11 Limited Liability.
The obligations of Seller under this Agreement and under all of the Other Documents are intended to be binding only on the property of Seller and shall not be personally binding upon, nor shall any resort be had to, the private properties of any Seller Related Parties.
Section 9.12 Amendments.
This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by Buyer and Seller.
Section 9.13 No Recording.
Neither this Agreement or any memorandum or short form thereof may be recorded by Buyer.
30
Section 9.14 Drafts Not an Offer to Enter into a Legally Binding Contract.
The parties hereto agree that the submission of a draft of this Agreement by one party to another is not intended by either party to be an offer to enter into a legally binding contract with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property. The parties shall be legally bound with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement only if and when the parties have been able to negotiate all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in a manner acceptable to each of the parties in their respective sole discretion, and both Seller and Buyer have fully executed and delivered to each other a counterpart of this Agreement (or a copy by facsimile transmission).
Section 9.15 ERISA.
Buyer represents and warrants and covenants to Seller that there will not be any change in any of the information set forth in Section 3.5(e) of this Agreement regarding Buyer and any permitted assignees of Buyer prior to or on the Closing. In the event any such information or change in Seller’s reasonable judgment makes this transaction a sale to a party-in-interest, Seller may terminate this Agreement without liability on the part of Seller or Buyer (provided such change did not occur as a result of a default by Buyer), other than Buyer’s indemnity contained in Section 9.3 hereof and the obligations of Buyer contained in Sections 6.1 and 9.9 hereof, and the Deposit will be returned to Buyer.
Section 9.16 No Partnership.
The relationship of the parties hereto is solely that of Seller and Buyer with respect to the Property and no joint venture or other partnership exists between the parties hereto. Neither party has any fiduciary relationship hereunder to the other.
Section 9.17 No Third Party Beneficiary.
The provisions of this Agreement are not intended to benefit any third parties, except the Seller Related Parties.
Section 9.18 Limitation on Liability.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the Closing: (a) the maximum aggregate liability of Seller, and the maximum aggregate amount which may be awarded to and collected by Buyer (including, without limitation, for any breach of any representation, warranty and/or covenant by Seller) under this Agreement or any documents executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith including, without limitation, the Deed, the Xxxx of Sale, the Assignment of Lease (collectively, the “Other Documents”), shall under no circumstances whatsoever exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00); and (b) no claim by Buyer alleging a breach by Seller of any representation, warranty and/or covenant of Seller contained herein or in any of the Other Documents may be made, and Seller shall not be liable for any judgment in any action based upon any such claim, unless and until such claim, either alone or together with any other claims by Buyer alleging a breach by Seller of any such representation, warranty and/or covenant is for an aggregate amount in excess of Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00) (the “Floor Amount”), in which event Seller’s liability
31
respecting any final judgment concerning such claim or claims shall be for the entire amount thereof, subject to the limitation set forth in clause (a) above; provided, however, that if any such final judgment is for an amount that is less than or equal to the Floor Amount, then Seller shall have no liability with respect thereto. However, the foregoing limitations shall not apply to Seller’s obligations under: (i) Sections 6.1 or 8.5; or (ii) Sections 5.1 and 5.2 to deliver insurance or condemnation proceeds or awards to Buyer.
Section 9.19 Additional Agreements.
(a) Landscape Easement. On or before Closing, the Property shall be subjected to an easement agreement in a form to be agreed upon by Seller and Buyer in their reasonable discretion prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, governing the landscaping and maintenance of sidewalks, curbside grassy areas and the treatment of plantings and shrubbery (the “Landscape Easement”). Seller’s obligation to sell the Property to Buyer shall be conditioned on the delivery and recordation of the Landscape Easement prior to the recordation of the Deed conveying the Property to Buyer.
(b) Parking Garage Easement Agreement. Seller, or its affiliate, intends to construct a multi-story parking garage on a parcel of land adjacent to the Property. The proposed parking garage will be connected to, and share pedestrian and vehicular access with, the existing parking garage located on the Property. On or before Closing, the parties shall enter into an easement agreement in a form to be agreed upon by Seller and Buyer in their reasonable discretion prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, governing the construction, use and maintenance of the proposed parking garage (the “Parking Garage Easement Agreement”). Seller’s obligation to sell the Property to Buyer shall be conditioned on the delivery and recordation of the Parking Garage Easement Agreement concurrently with the recordation of the Deed conveying the Property to Buyer.
(c) Lease Amendment. If Seller is unable to obtain and deliver the Lease Amendment as required under Section 8.3(a)(9), or if the Lease Amendment received contains modifications, information or omissions (other than de minimis modifications, information or omissions) unacceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion (i) that were not expressly disclosed to Buyer in writing prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, or (ii) of which Buyer otherwise did not obtain actual knowledge prior to the end of the Contingency Period, and Buyer objects thereto by written notice to Seller within two (2) business days after receipt by Buyer of the objectionable Lease Amendment, but in any event on or before the Closing Date, then Seller will not be in default by reason thereof, but Buyer may, by written notice given to Seller before the Closing, elect to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit or waive said condition. If Buyer so elects to terminate this Agreement, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Section 6.1 above and Sections 9.3 and 9.9 above. If no such notice is delivered by Buyer, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such condition.
(d) Acceptance of Additional Agreements. If the parties are unable to agree upon the form of any of the Landscape Easement, the Parking Garage Easement Agreement, the Ground Lease Assignment or the Ground Lessor’s Agreement and Consent prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, then this Agreement shall terminate, Buyer shall receive a
32
refund of the Deposit, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Section 6.1 above and Sections 9.3 and 9.9 above. Such termination shall occur automatically upon the expiration of the Contingency Period unless each party had given written notice of its acceptance of the forms of the above-described agreements, or such party’s agreement to waive the termination of the Agreement in accordance with this provision.
Section 9.20 Survival.
Except as expressly set forth to the contrary herein, no representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Seller contained herein shall survive the Closing.
Section 9.21 Survival of Article IX.
The provisions of this Article IX shall survive the Closing.
