ARTICLE 3 — PURCHASE PRICE
In consideration of the sale of the Property to Buyer, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Purchase Price, as prorated and adjusted as set forth in Article 6, Section 7.2, or as otherwise provided under this Agreement. The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:
3.1 | Xxxxxxx Money Deposit. |
3.1.1 | Payment of Deposit. Upon the full and final execution of this Agreement and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit the First Deposit with Escrow Agent. The First Deposit (i) shall be made in immediately available funds, and shall be invested in government insured interest-bearing instruments reasonably satisfactory to both Buyer and Seller, (ii) shall be deemed earned by Seller upon Seller’s execution of the Sale Agreement, and (iii) shall be non-refundable to Buyer under all circumstances, save and except a default by Seller under this Agreement, a failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.2, or a casualty or condemnation that results in a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 12. If Buyer terminates this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period as set forth in Section 5.3, Escrow Agent shall immediately disburse the First Deposit to Seller without the need of any further action by Buyer or Seller. In addition, no later than the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (provided that this Agreement is not sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof), and as a condition to the continued effectiveness of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit the Second Deposit with Escrow Agent. The Second Deposit shall be made in immediately available funds, shall be invested in government insured interest-bearing instruments reasonably satisfactory to both Buyer and Seller and shall be non-refundable to Buyer (other than for a default by Seller under this Agreement, the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.2, a casualty or condemnation that results in a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 12, or Buyer’s termination of this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period). In addition, if Buyer elects to extend the Closing Date pursuant to Section 7.1, Buyer shall deposit the Extension Deposit with Escrow Agent simultaneously with Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Extension Notice (as defined in Section 7.1) to Seller. Upon receipt of the Extension Deposit, Escrow Agent shall immediately pay the Deposit to Seller in immediately available funds by wire transfer without the need of any further action by Buyer or Seller and the Deposit shall be non-refundable to Buyer (other than for a default by Seller under this Agreement, the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.2, a casualty or condemnation that results in a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 12). |
3.1.2 | Applicable Terms; Failure to Make Deposit. Except as expressly otherwise set forth herein, the Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price on the Closing Date and shall otherwise be held and delivered by Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of Article 13. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if Buyer fails to timely make the Deposit as provided herein, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. |
3.2 | Cash at Closing. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall (a) pay or cause to be paid to Seller an amount equal to the balance of the Purchase Price in immediately available funds by wire transfer as more particularly set forth in Section 7.2, as prorated and adjusted as set forth in Article 6, Section 7.2, or as otherwise provided under this Agreement, and (b) cause the Escrow Agent to simultaneously pay the Deposit to Seller in immediately available funds by wire transfer as more particularly set forth in Section 7.2 if the Deposit was not previously released to Seller pursuant to Section 3.1.1. |
ARTICLE 4 — TITLE MATTERS
4.1 | Title to Real Property. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Title Commitment, copies of all of the Title Documents, and the Survey as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof. Buyer shall notify Seller when it receives any of the aforementioned documents and shall promptly furnish Seller copies of the same. |
4.2 | Title Defects. | |||||
4.2.1 | Buyer’s Objections to Title; Seller’s Obligations and Rights. | |||||
(a) | Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to object in writing to any title matters that appear on the Title Commitment, the Survey, and any supplemental title reports or updates to the Title Commitment (whether or not such matters constitute Permitted Exceptions). In addition, after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to object in writing to any title matters which are not Permitted Exceptions and which materially adversely affect Buyer’s title to the Real Property that may first appear on any supplemental title reports or updates to the Title Commitment or Survey issued after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period so long as such objection is made by Buyer within five (5) business days after Buyer becomes aware of the same (but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date). Unless Buyer is entitled to and timely objects to such title matters, all such title matters shall be deemed to constitute additional Permitted Exceptions. |
(b) | To the extent that any Title Objections do not constitute Required Exceptions, Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to Remove or cause to be Removed any such Title Objections and Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of Buyer’s notice of Title Objections (but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date) whether Seller elects to Remove the same. Failure of Seller to respond in writing within such period shall be deemed an election by Seller not to Remove such Title Objections. Any Title Objection that Seller elects in writing to Remove shall be deemed a Required Exception. If Seller elects not to Remove one or more Title Objections, then, within five (5) business days after Seller’s election (but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date), Buyer may elect in writing to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the First Deposit shall be paid to Seller and the Second Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) waive such Title Objections and proceed to Closing. Failure of Buyer to respond in writing within such period shall be deemed an election by Buyer to waive such Title Objections and proceed to Closing. Any such Title Objection so waived (or deemed waived) by Buyer shall be deemed to constitute a Permitted Exception and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price. |
(c) | If this Agreement is not terminated by Buyer in accordance with the provisions hereof, Seller shall, at Closing, Remove or cause to be Removed any Required Exceptions. Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy any Required Exceptions that exist as of the Closing Date, provided Seller shall cause the Title Company to Remove the same. If Seller is unable to Remove any Required Exceptions prior to the Closing, Buyer may at Closing elect to either (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the First Deposit shall be paid to Seller and the Second Deposit shall be paid to Buyer 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) accept such exceptions to title and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price. |
(d) | Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed forty-five (45) days) for the purpose of the Removal of any exceptions to title. |
4.2.2 | No New Exceptions. From and after the date hereof, Seller shall not execute any deed, easement, restriction, covenant or other matter affecting title to the Property unless Buyer has received a true, correct and complete copy thereof and has approved the same in advance, in writing. If Buyer fails to object in writing to any such proposed instrument within five (5) business days after receipt of the aforementioned notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the proposed instrument. Buyer’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to any such instrument that is proposed prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be entitled to grant or withhold its consent with respect to any such instrument that is proposed between the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Closing. |
4.3 | Title Insurance. At Closing, the Title Company shall issue the Owner’s Title Policy to Buyer, insuring that fee simple title to the Real Property is vested in Buyer subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. Buyer shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide such endorsements (or amendments) to the Owner’s Title Policy as Buyer may reasonably require, provided that (a) such endorsements (or amendments) shall be at no cost to, and shall impose no additional liability on, Seller, (b) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditioned upon Buyer’s ability to obtain such endorsements and, if Buyer is unable to obtain such endorsements, Buyer shall nevertheless be obligated to proceed to close the Transaction without reduction of or set off against the Purchase Price, and (c) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of Buyer’s request. |

ARTICLE 6 - ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS | ||
The following adjustments and prorations shall be made at Closing: |
||
6.1
|
Lease Rentals and Other Revenues. | |
6.1.1 | Rents. All collected Rents shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the day prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to all Rents attributable to any period to but not including the Closing Date. Buyer shall be entitled to all Rents attributable to any period on and after the Closing Date. Subject to Section 6.1.3 below, Rents not collected as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated at the time of Closing. |
6.1.2 | Other Revenues. Revenues from Property operations (other than Rents (which shall be prorated as provided in Subsection 6.1.1), security deposits (which will be apportioned as provided in Section 6.6), and pre-paid installments or other payments under Contracts that are actually collected shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to all such revenues attributable to any period to but not including the Closing Date and Buyer shall be entitled to all such revenues attributable to any period on and after the Closing Date. |
6.1.3 | Post-Closing Collections. After Closing, Buyer shall make a good faith effort to collect any Rents or other revenues not collected as of the Closing Date on Seller’s behalf and to tender the same to Seller upon receipt; provided, however, that all Rents collected by Buyer on or after the Closing Date shall first be applied to all amounts due under the applicable Lease at the time of collection (i.e., current Rents and sums due Buyer as the current owner and landlord) with the balance (if any) payable to Seller, but only to the extent of amounts delinquent and actually due Seller. Buyer shall not have an exclusive right to collect the sums due Seller under the Leases or other revenue due Seller with respect to the period prior to Closing, and Seller hereby retains its rights to pursue claims against any tenant under the Leases or other party for sums due with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date (including, without limitation, any percentage rent that may be due with respect to any period of time prior to Closing, regardless of when the same is to be paid to the owner of the Property pursuant to the terms of the applicable Lease); provided, however, that with respect to any legal proceedings against any tenant under a Lease, Seller (a) shall be required to notify Buyer in writing of its intention to commence or pursue such legal proceedings; (b) shall only be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings after the date which is three (3) months after Closing; and (c) shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings against any tenant seeking eviction of such tenant or the termination of the underlying Lease.

6.3 | Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes. |
6.3.1 | Proration of Ad Valorem Taxes. Buyer and Seller shall only prorate ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes for the Property that are actually due and payable during Closing Tax Year, regardless of the year for which such taxes are assessed. There shall be no proration of ad valorem real estate or personal property taxes other than as set forth hereinabove and, as between Buyer and Seller, subject to this Section 6.3, Buyer agrees that it shall be solely responsible for all such ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes due and payable after the Closing. Because ad valorem real estate taxes and personal property taxes are paid quarterly throughout the Closing Tax Year with the next such quarterly payment being due on December 31, 2007, the proration of the ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes actually due and payable during the Closing Tax Year shall be calculated as follows: |
(a) | Seller shall be responsible for that portion of such taxes equal to (i) the total such taxes due and payable between October 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007 (the “Payment Period”), multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the Payment Period prior to the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be 365; and |
(b) | Buyer shall be responsible for that portion of such taxes equal to (i) the total such taxes due and payable during the Payment Period, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the Payment Period subsequent to and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be 365. |
6.3.2 | Insufficient Information. If, at Closing, the real estate and/or personal property tax rate and assessments have not been set for the taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year, then the proration of such taxes shall be based upon the rate and assessments for the preceding Tax Year, and such proration shall be adjusted between Seller and Buyer after Closing upon presentation of written evidence that the actual taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year differ from the amounts used at Closing and in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.8. |
6.3.3
|
Special Assessments. Intentionally Deleted. | |
6.3.4
|
Tenant Reimbursements. Intentionally Deleted. | |
6.3.5
|

Seller shall pay all utility charges and other operating expenses attributable to the Property to, but not including the Closing Date (except for those utility charges and operating expenses payable by tenants in accordance with the Leases) and Buyer shall pay all utility charges and other operating expenses attributable to the Property on or after the Closing Date. To the extent that the amount of actual consumption of any utility services is not determined prior to the Closing Date, a proration shall be made at Closing based on the last available reading and post-closing adjustments between Buyer and Seller shall be made within twenty (20) days of the date that actual consumption for such pre-closing period is determined, which obligation shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein. Seller shall not assign to Buyer any deposits which Seller has with any of the utility services or companies servicing the Property. Buyer shall arrange with such services and companies to have accounts opened in Buyer’s name beginning at 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. |
6.5 | Closing Costs. Buyer shall pay the following costs and expenses associated with the Transaction: (a) all premiums and charges of the Title Company for the Title Commitment and the Owner’s Title Policy (including endorsements), (b) the cost of preparing the Survey, (c) all recording and filing charges in connection with the instrument by which Seller conveys the Property, (d) one-half of all escrow or closing charges, (e) the so-called “Grantee’s tax” applicable to the transfer of the Property, (f) all costs of Buyer’s Due Diligence, including fees due its consultants and attorneys, and (g) all lenders’ fees related to any financing to be obtained by Buyer. Seller shall pay the following costs and expenses associated with the Transaction: (i) the so-called “Grantor’s tax” applicable to the transfer of the Property, (ii) any bulk sales tax or personal property tax applicable to the transfer of the Property (iii) the commission due Seller’s Broker, (iv) all fees due its attorneys, and (v) all costs incurred in connection with causing the Title Company to Remove any Required Exceptions. The obligations of the parties under this Section 6.5 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement. |
6.6 | Cash Security Deposits. To the extent that Seller has collected from any tenant any deposits or fees in addition to security deposits (including, without limitation, pet fees), Seller shall retain any such deposits or fees that are non-refundable, and any refundable deposits or fees shall be transferred to Buyer in the form of a credit at Closing. |
6.7 | Apportionment Credit. In the event the apportionments to be made at the Closing result in a credit balance (a) to Buyer, such sum shall be paid at the Closing by giving Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of such credit balance, or (b) to Seller, Buyer shall pay the amount thereof to Seller at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts to be designated by Seller for the payment of the Purchase Price. |
6.8 | Delayed Adjustment; Delivery of Operating and Other Financial Statements. If at any time following the Closing Date, the amount of an item listed in any section of this Article 6, as shown on the Closing Statement (as hereinafter defined) at Closing, shall prove to be incorrect (whether as a result of an error in calculation or a lack of complete and accurate information as of the Closing) or otherwise require adjustment as a result of any year-end or periodic reconciliations of reimbursable operating expenses or tax payments by a tenant under a Lease, the party owing money as a result of such error or adjustment shall promptly pay to the other party the sum necessary to correct such error or make such adjustment upon receipt of written proof of the same, provided that such proof is received by the party from whom payment is to be made on or before ninety (90) days after Closing (such period being referred to herein as the “Post Closing Adjustment Period”). In order to enable Seller to determine whether any such delayed adjustment is necessary, Buyer shall provide to Seller current operating and financial statements for the Property and copies of any correspondence and statements sent to tenants in connection with any reconciliation promptly after the same are prepared, but, in any event, no later than the date one (1) month prior to the expiration of the Post-Closing Adjustment Period. The provisions of this Section 6.8 shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein. |

(d) | As of the date of this Agreement, the only tenants under signed leases at the Property are the tenants listed in Exhibit L attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Rent Roll”); provided, however, that the foregoing is not intended (and shall not be construed) as a representation by Seller of the parties that are in actual possession of any portion of the Property since there may be subtenants, licensees or assignees that are in possession of portions of the Property of which Seller may not be aware. An updated Rent Roll shall be delivered to Buyer at Closing. |
(e) | Except for violations cured or remedied on or before the date hereof and except as listed in Exhibit K attached hereto, as of the date of this Agreement, Seller has not received any written notice from any governmental authority of any violation of any Law applicable to the Property. |
(f) | As of the date of this Agreement and at Closing, the Rent Roll is and shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects; provided, however, that for the purposes hereof, the Rent Roll shall only be deemed to be materially inaccurate or incorrect if it is inaccurate or incorrect by more than 5% of the gross monthly income for the Property as set forth therein. |
(g) | The documents delivered or otherwise made available to Buyer prior to Closing (i) include all documents used by Seller in the day-to-day operations and management of the Property, and (ii) are the same documents used in connection with (A) the performance by Seller of its fiduciary obligations to its clients and investors, and (B) the preparation of financial statements and reports submitted to the clients and investors of Seller. |
9.3 | General Provisions. |

9.3.2 | Seller’s Warranties Deemed Modified. To the extent that Buyer knows or is deemed to know prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period that Seller’s Warranties are inaccurate, untrue or incorrect in any way, such representations and warranties shall be deemed modified to reflect Buyer’s knowledge or deemed knowledge, as the case may be. |
9.3.3 | Breach of Seller’s Warranties prior to Closing |
(a) | If at or prior to the Closing, any Buyer’s Representative obtains actual knowledge that any of Seller’s Warranties are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Buyer shall give Seller written notice thereof within five (5) business days of obtaining such knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing). If at or prior to the Closing, Seller obtains actual knowledge that any of Seller’s Warranties are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Seller shall give Buyer written notice thereof within five (5) business days of obtaining such knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing). In either such event, Seller shall have the right to cure such misrepresentation or breach and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed forty-five (45) days) for the purpose of such cure. |
(b) | If any misrepresentation or breach of any of Seller’s Warranties is first discovered by Buyer after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period but prior to Closing and Seller either does not elect to or is not able to so cure any such misrepresentation or breach, then Buyer, as its sole remedies for any and all such misrepresentations or breaches, shall have the following rights: |
(i) | If any of Seller’s Warranties are, individually or in the aggregate, untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, then Buyer may elect either (A) to waive such misrepresentations or breaches and consummate the Transaction without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price, or (B) to terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller on the Closing Date, in which event this Agreement shall be terminated, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in any section hereof that by its terms expressly provides that it survives any termination of this Agreement. |
(ii) | If any of Seller’s Warranties are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect but are not, in the aggregate, untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Buyer shall be deemed to waive such misrepresentation or breach of warranty, and Buyer shall be required to consummate the Transaction without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price. |
(c) | The untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of Seller’s Warranties shall be deemed material for purposes of this Section 9.3.3 and the rest of this Agreement only if Buyer’s aggregate damages resulting from the untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of Seller’s Warranties are reasonably estimated to exceed $50,000.00. |
9.3.4 | Survival; Limitation on Seller’s Liability. Seller’s Warranties shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein for a period of ninety (90) days and Seller shall only be liable to Buyer hereunder for a breach of a Seller’s Warranty with respect to which a claim is made by Buyer against Seller on or before the ninetieth (90th) day after the date of the Closing. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate liability of Seller for breaches of Seller’s Warranties shall be limited as set forth in Section 15.15 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the Closing occurs, Buyer hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any right or remedy available to it at law, in equity, under this Agreement or otherwise to make a claim against Seller for damages that Buyer may incur, or to rescind this Agreement and the Transaction, as the result of any of Seller’s Warranties being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect if (a) Buyer knew or is deemed to know that such representation or warranty was untrue, inaccurate or incorrect at the time of the Closing, or (b) Buyer’s damages as a result of such representations or warranties being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect are reasonably estimated to aggregate less than $50,000.00. |
9.3.5 | Disclosure. If and to the extent that Seller’s representations and warranties become inaccurate, untrue or incorrect to the current actual knowledge of the Designated Representatives, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing. |

10.2 | Seller’s Covenants. Seller hereby covenants as follows: | |||||

(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 Tax 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 Tax Year (regardless of the year for which such taxes are assessed), Buyer shall be entitled to the entire refunds and credits. |
10.3.4 | Survival. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or earlier termination of this Agreement. |
ARTICLE 11 — FAILURE OF CONDITIONS
11.1 | To Seller’s Obligations. If, on or before the Closing Date, (i) Buyer is in default of any of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) any of Buyer’s representations or warranties are, in the aggregate, untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, or (iii) the Closing otherwise fails to occur by reason of Buyer’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, and any such circumstance described in any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) continues for five (5) business 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 as its sole remedy hereunder, 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 Transaction. |
11.2 | To Buyer’s Obligations. If, at the Closing, (i) Seller is in default of any of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) any of Seller’s Warranties are, in the aggregate, untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, or (iii) the Closing otherwise fails to occur by reason of Seller’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, and any such circumstance described in any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) continues for five (5) business days after written notice from Buyer to Seller, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, then Buyer shall have the right, to elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, promptly after which the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer 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 Transaction, or (c) seek specific performance of this Agreement by Seller. As a condition precedent to Buyer exercising any right it may have to bring an action for specific performance hereunder, Buyer must commence such an action within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of Seller’s default. Buyer agrees that its failure to timely commence such an action for specific performance within such ninety (90) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence an action for specific performance as well as a waiver by it of any right it may have to file or record a notice of lis pendens or notice of pendency of action or similar notice against any portion of the Property. |
ARTICLE 12 — CONDEMNATION/CASUALTY
12.1 | Right to Terminate. If, after the date hereof, (a) any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking which has not yet been consummated), or (b) any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed (excluding routine wear and tear), Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact promptly after obtaining notice or knowledge thereof. If the Property is the subject of a Major Casualty/Condemnation that occurs after the 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 receipt 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. |
12.2 | Allocation of Proceeds and Awards. If a condemnation or casualty occurs after the date hereof and this Agreement is not terminated as permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, Buyer shall acquire the remainder of the Property upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and at the Closing: |
(a) | if the awards or proceeds, as the case may be, have been paid to Seller prior to Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing equal to (i) the amount of any such award or proceeds on account of such condemnation or casualty, plus (ii) if a casualty has occurred and such casualty is an insured casualty, an amount equal to Seller’s deductible with respect to such casualty, less (iii) an amount equal to the Seller allocated Amounts; and |
(b) | to the extent that such award or proceeds have not been paid to Seller prior to Closing, (i) if a casualty has occurred and such casualty is an insured casualty, Buyer shall receive a credit at 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 one (1) business day 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. |
Buyer and Seller hereby agree that the costs, expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements, incurred in connection with obtaining payment of any awards or proceeds resulting from a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding or incurred in connection with the negotiation and/or settlement of any casualty claim with an insurer with respect to the Property shall be paid Seller prior to the Closing Date (without the right to seek reimbursement from Buyer) and be paid by Buyer after the Closing Date (without the right to seek reimbursement from Seller).
12.3 | Insurance. Seller shall maintain the property insurance coverage currently in effect for the Property, or comparable coverage, through 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. |
ARTICLE 13 — ESCROW PROVISIONS

(a) | The Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Deposits in government insured interest-bearing instruments reasonably satisfactory to both Buyer and Seller, shall not commingle the Escrow Deposits with any funds of the Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Buyer and Seller with confirmation of the investments made. |
(b) | If the Closing occurs, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to, or upon the instructions of, Seller on the Closing Date. |
(c) | If for any reason the Closing does not occur, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this Subsection (c). If for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Agent for payment of the Escrow Deposits, the Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of such demand. If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within ten (10) days after such party’s receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If the Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such period, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court. |
(d) | The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller or Buyer resulting from the Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting the Escrow Agent’s scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent. |

ARTICLE 14 — LEASING MATTERS

Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller shall not change its current leasing or management practices without the prior written approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Seller shall provide Buyer with information outlining any such proposed changes to such leasing or management practices, and Buyer shall have three (3) business days to provide written approval or disapproval of such proposed changes; provided, however, that failure of Buyer to respond within such three (3) business day period shall be deemed to constitute approval of such proposed changes. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller shall cause all vacant units to be made rent-ready and available for occupancy based on standards and methods used by Seller prior to execution of this Agreement and shall cause all appliances in all vacant units to be clean and in working order (the “Appliance Standards”).

14.2 | Lease Enforcement. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (except to the extent that Seller’s failure to act shall constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies), to enforce the rights and remedies of the landlord under any Lease, by summary proceedings or otherwise (including, without limitation, the right to remove any tenant), and to apply all or any portion of any security deposits then held by Seller toward any loss or damage incurred by Seller by reason of any defaults by tenants, and the exercise of any such rights or remedies shall not affect the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement in any manner or entitle Buyer to a reduction in, or credit or allowance against, the Purchase Price or give rise to any other claim on the part of Buyer. |
ARTICLE 15 - MISCELLANEOUS | ||
15.1
|
Buyer’s Assignment. | |
(a) | Buyer shall not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder to any individual or entity without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent Seller may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, and any such assignment shall be null and void ab initio. Any transfer, directly or indirectly, of any stock, partnership interest or other ownership interest in Buyer shall constitute an assignment of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit the transfer of stock in a publicly traded company. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15.1(a) to the contrary, Buyer shall have the right to assign all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Seller, to a Registered Company (as defined in Section 15.20) or another entity managed or controlled by Buyer or an entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Buyer. |
(b) | Reserved. |

(i) | Buyer shall send Seller written notice of its request at least five (5) business days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, which notice shall include the legal name and structure of the proposed assignee and evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller of the valid legal existence of Buyer’s assignee, its qualification (if necessary) to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and of the authority of Buyer’s assignee to execute and deliver any and all documents required of Buyer under the terms of this Agreement; and |
(ii) | Buyer shall provide Seller any other information that Seller may reasonably request with respect to the proposed assignee; and |
(iii) | Buyer and the proposed assignee shall execute an assignment and assumption of this Agreement pursuant to which Buyer’s obligations hereunder are expressly assumed by such assignee. |

(i) | Any permitted assignment by Buyer shall not relieve Buyer of any of its obligations and liabilities hereunder including obligations and liabilities which survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, nor shall any such assignment alter, impair or relieve such assignee from the waivers, acknowledgements and agreements of Buyer set forth herein, including, but not limited to, those set forth in Article 5, Article 9 and Article 10 hereof, all of which will be binding upon any assignee of Buyer. |
(ii) | No transfer by Buyer of any interest in this Agreement and no transfers of direct or indirect interests in Buyer shall be permitted if the same would cause the representations and warranties made in Section 9.1.3 to be untrue, inaccurate or incomplete and Buyer covenants to cooperate with Seller’s requests to provide documentation reasonably necessary or desirable for Seller to verify that such representations and warranties are true, accurate and complete at all times prior to Closing. |
15.2 | Designation Agreement. Section 6045(e) of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (herein collectively called the “Reporting Requirements”) require an information return to be made to the United States Internal Revenue Service, and a statement to be furnished to Seller, in connection with the Transaction. Escrow Agent is either (x) the person responsible for closing the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements) or (y) the disbursing title or escrow company that is most significant in terms of gross proceeds disbursed in connection with the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements). Accordingly: |
(a) | Escrow Agent is hereby designated as the “Reporting Person” (as defined in the Reporting Requirements) for the Transaction. Escrow Agent shall perform all duties that are required by the Reporting Requirements to be performed by the Reporting Person for the Transaction. |
(b) | Seller and Buyer shall furnish to Escrow Agent, in a timely manner, any information requested by Escrow Agent and necessary for Escrow Agent to perform its duties as Reporting Person for the Transaction. |
(c) | Escrow Agent hereby requests Seller to furnish to Escrow Agent Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number. Seller acknowledges that any failure by Seller to provide Escrow Agent with Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number may subject Seller to civil or criminal penalties imposed by law. Accordingly, Seller hereby certifies to Escrow Agent, under penalties of perjury, that Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number is 00-0000000. |
(d) | Each of the parties hereto shall retain this Agreement for a period of four (4) years following the calendar year during which Closing occurs. |
15.3 | Survival/Merger. Except for the provisions of this Agreement which are explicitly stated to survive the Closing, (a) none of the terms of this Agreement shall survive the Closing, and (b) the delivery of the Purchase Price, the Deed and the other Closing Documents and the acceptance thereof shall effect a merger, and be deemed the full performance and discharge of every obligation on the part of Buyer and Seller to be performed hereunder. |
15.4 | Integration; Waiver. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, embodies and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the Transaction and all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument. No waiver by either party hereto of any failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply. |
15.5 | Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State in which the Property is located. |
15.6 | Captions Not Binding; Exhibits.
