10.2 | Seller’s Covenants. Seller hereby covenants as follows: |
10.2.1 | Contracts and Leases. Without Buyer’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, between the Effective Date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller shall not extend, renew, replace or otherwise modify any Contract or Lease or enter into any new service contract, lease or agreement unless such Contract, service contract, lease or agreement (as so extended, renewed, replaced or modified) can be terminated by the owner of the Property without penalty on not more than thirty (30) days’ notice.

(c) | maintain and keep the Property in a manner consistent with Seller’s past practices with respect to the Property; |
provided, however, that, subject to Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period in accordance with the terms of Article 5, Buyer hereby agrees that, except for breaches of this Section 10.2.2, Buyer, shall accept the Property subject to, and Seller shall have no obligation to cure, (i) any violations of Laws, or (ii) any physical conditions which would give rise to violations of Laws, whether the same now exist or arise prior to the Closing. Between the Effective Date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller will advise Buyer of any written notice Seller receives after the Effective Date hereof from any governmental authority of the violation of any Laws regulating the condition or use of the Property or if any material change occurs in the occupancy or conditions affecting the Property.
10.3 | Mutual Covenants. |
10.3.1 | Publicity. Seller and Buyer each hereby covenant and agree that (a) prior to the Closing neither Seller nor Buyer shall issue any Release (as hereinafter defined) with respect to the Transaction without the prior consent of the other, except to the extent required by applicable Law, and (b) after the Closing, any Release issued by either Seller or Buyer shall be subject to the review and approval of both parties (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except to the extent required by applicable Law. Seller acknowledges that Buyer is a publicly traded entity and, as such, Buyer has obligations to make certain public statements in order to comply with applicable Laws. If either Seller or Buyer is required by applicable Law to issue a Release, such party shall, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the issuance of the same, deliver a copy of the proposed Release to the other party for its review. Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that the delivery of the Release to the other party as required pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall not imply that the approval of the Release by the receiving party is a condition precedent to the issuance thereof. As used herein, the term “Release” shall mean any press release or public statement with respect to the Transaction or this Agreement. |
10.3.2 | Brokers. Seller and Buyer expressly acknowledge that Seller’s Broker has acted as the exclusive broker with respect to the Transaction and with respect to this Agreement. Seller shall pay any brokerage commission due to Seller’s Broker in accordance with the separate agreement between Seller and Seller’s Broker. Seller agrees to hold Buyer harmless and indemnify Buyer from and against any and all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) suffered or incurred by Buyer as a result of any claims by Seller’s Broker or any other party claiming to have represented Seller as broker in connection with the Transaction. Buyer agrees to hold Seller harmless and indemnify Seller from and against any and all Liabilities (including reasonable |
28
attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) suffered or incurred by Seller as a result of any claims by any party claiming to have represented Buyer as broker in connection with the Transaction. |
10.3.3 | Tax Protests; Tax Refunds and Credits. The Lease grants certain rights to Tenant in connection with ad valorem taxes and assessments. This Section 10.3.3 in its entirety is subject to Tenant’s supervening rights under Lease; however, subject thereto, Seller shall have the right to continue and to control the progress of and to make all decisions with respect to any contest of the real estate taxes and personal property taxes for the Property due and payable during the Closing Year and all prior years. Subject to Tenant’s supervening rights, Buyer shall have the right to control the progress of and to make all decisions with respect to any tax contest of the real estate taxes and personal property taxes for the Property due and payable during all years subsequent to the Closing Year. All real estate and personal property tax refunds and credits received after Closing with respect to the Property shall be applied as provided in the Lease and, to the extent not so provided, in the following order of priority: first, to pay the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with obtaining such tax refund or credit; and second, apportioned between Buyer and Seller as follows: |
(a) | with respect to any refunds or credits attributable to real estate and personal property taxes due and payable during the Closing Year (regardless of the year for which such taxes are assessed), such refunds and credits shall be apportioned between Buyer and Seller in the manner provided in Section 6.3; |
(b) | with respect to any refunds or credits attributable to real estate and personal property taxes due and payable during any period prior to the Closing Year (regardless of the year for which such taxes are assessed), Seller shall be entitled to the entire refunds and credits; and |
(c) | with respect to any refunds or credits attributable to real estate and personal property taxes due and payable during any period after the Closing Year (regardless of the year for which such taxes are assessed), Buyer shall be entitled to the entire refunds and credits. |

29
for ten (10) days after written notice from Seller to Buyer, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, then Seller may elect to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, promptly after which the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive the condition and proceed to close the portion of the Transaction. |

If the Property is the subject of a Major Casualty/Condemnation that occurs after the Effective Date hereof, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller no later than ten (10) Business Days after the giving of Seller’s notice, and the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer to make such election. The failure by Buyer to so elect in writing to terminate this Agreement within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12.1, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any section herein which expressly provides that it shall survive the termination of this Agreement. |

(b) | to the extent that such award or proceeds have not been paid to Seller prior to the Closing, (i) if a casualty has occurred and such casualty is an insured casualty, Buyer shall receive a credit at the Closing equal to Seller’s deductible with respect to such casualty, less an amount equal to the Seller-Allocated Amounts, and (ii) Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing (without recourse to Seller) the rights of Seller to, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and retain, such awards or proceeds; provided, however, that within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such awards or proceeds, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Seller-Allocated Amounts not previously paid to Seller. |
12.3 | Insurance. Seller shall maintain or require that Tenant maintain the property insurance coverage currently in effect for the Property as provided in and required by the Lease, or comparable coverage, through the earlier of any termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date. |
12.4 | Waiver. The provisions of this Article 12 supersede the provisions of any applicable Laws with respect to the subject matter of this Article 12. |
