In all events and under all circumstances, Purchaser shall be entitled to any and all interest earned on the Deposit. On or before the Effective Date, Purchaser shall provide Escrow Agent with a fully completed form W-9 which provides Purchaser’s tax identification number. As used in this Agreement, “Escrow Agent” shall mean Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, having an office at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Phone: (248) 816‑3850, Fax: (248) 649‑4836; Email: xxxxxx.xxxxxxx@xxx.xxx.

3.2 | Interest Bearing. |

The Independent Consideration is in addition to and independent of any other consideration or payment provided in this Agreement, is not refundable under any circumstances, and shall be retained by Seller notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement. In the event the transaction contemplated by this Agreement closes, the Independent Consideration shall be applied to the Purchase Price.
ARTICLE IV
CONDITIONS TO CLOSING
4.1 | Conditions to Purchaser’s Obligation to Purchase. |
Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property is expressly conditioned upon each of the following:
(a)Seller’s Representations and Warranties. Each of the Seller’s Representations shall be true and correct in all respects when made on the Effective Date and as of the Closing as though such representations and warranties were made on and as of the date of Closing (unless such representation or warranty is made as of a specific date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct as of such date); provided, however, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement as a result of such failure or failures of the Seller’s Representations to be so true and correct in all respects, and the application of Section 4.1(b) below, unless a Material Seller Breach has occurred (as defined in this Section below), in which event, Purchaser shall have the rights set forth in Section 11.2(b) hereof.
For purposes of this Agreement, the following capitalized terms shall have the following meanings:
“Material Seller Breach” shall mean the failure of the conditions of Section 4.1(a) and/or 4.1(b) to be satisfied at Closing, which failures are, in the aggregate, result in or are reasonably expected to result in Purchaser’s Losses (as defined in this Section below) in excess of three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price (the “Materiality Threshold”).
“Purchaser’s Losses” shall mean any Liabilities actually incurred or suffered by Purchaser or reasonably expected to be incurred or suffered by Purchaser at Closing or thereafter (other than any special, consequential, speculative, punitive or similar damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred as a result of a claim by a third party) and any increases in liabilities, obligations, costs, fees, expenses to be assumed by Purchaser at Closing or incurred thereafter. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of offsetting gains or benefits to Purchaser actually received or realized by Purchaser or reasonably expected to be received by Purchaser, if any, which results from a misrepresentation
or breach by Seller hereunder will be taken into account in determining the amount of Purchaser’s Losses.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any variations with respect to Seller’s Representations not being true and correct as of the Closing as a result of the following shall not be factored into determining Purchaser’s Losses or whether a Material Seller Breach has occurred, in each case, as and only to the extent not caused and/or contributed to by Seller and/or its affiliates unless expressly permitted under this Agreement:

Subject to the penultimate paragraph of this Section 4.1, each REA Estoppel shall be dated no earlier than sixty (60) days prior to Closing; provided, however, Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for a period not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days (subject to Section 5.1(e) below), in the event that Purchaser’s lender shall not accept any REA Estoppel because (1) of its date, in which case Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a confirmation or update of any REA Estoppel previously delivered, as required by Purchaser’s lender, or (2) it is not certified to Purchaser, Purchaser’s lender and their successors and assigns, in which case Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a confirmation or update of any REA Estoppel previously delivered, as required by Purchaser’s lender; provided, however, that obtaining any such confirmation or update to an REA Estoppel is not a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.

(excluding any licensees, or storage, temporary, kiosk or cart tenants) (individually, a “Remaining Tenant Estoppel” and collectively, the “Remaining Tenant Estoppels”) so that Remaining Tenant Estoppels received by Purchaser cover at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the leased rentable square footage of the Shopping Center that is occupied by tenants (excluding any rentable square feet leased by an Anchor Tenant and any licensees, or storage, temporary, kiosk or cart tenant) (such tenants, the “Remaining Tenants”); provided, however, that the Remaining Tenant Estoppels must include Estoppel Certificates (collectively, the “Major Tenant Estoppels”) from each “Major Tenant” identified on Exhibit U (collectively, the “Major Tenants”). Subject to the penultimate paragraph of this Section 4.1, each Estoppel Certificate shall be dated no earlier than sixty (60) days prior to Closing; provided, however, Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for a period not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days (subject to Section 5.1(e) below), in the event that Purchaser’s lender shall not accept any Estoppel Certificate because (1) of its date, in which case Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a confirmation or update of any Estoppel Certificate previously delivered, as required by Purchaser’s lender, or (2) it is not certified to Purchaser, Purchaser’s lender and their successors and assigns, in which case Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a confirmation or update of any Estoppel Certificate previously delivered, as required by Purchaser’s lender; provided, however, that obtaining any such confirmation or update to an Estoppel Certificate is not a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.
(ii)The Anchor Tenant Estoppels and the Remaining Tenant Estoppels (including the Major Tenant Estoppels) shall each be in substantially the same form of Exhibit P-2 or, in each case, such other form as is specified in the applicable Lease or containing such information as is expressly specified in the applicable Lease to be provided by the tenant thereunder, provided that any estoppel certificate under this Section 4.1(f) shall be acceptable (an “Acceptable Tenant Estoppel”) if and only if it (1) subject to Sections 4.1(f)(iii) and (iv) below, does not indicate the existence of an actual landlord default under the applicable Lease (other than minor technical or de minimis breaches), (2) confirms the amount of current base monthly rent under the applicable Lease, (3) does not indicate any conflict with or contain information contradictory to the terms and conditions of the applicable Lease (other than minor technical or de minimis conflicts or contradictions) and (4) does not state that the applicable Lease is not in full force and effect.
(iii)Seller shall have the option, but shall not be required, to execute an estoppel certificate in the form of Exhibit P-3 attached hereto (“Seller Estoppel”) for Remaining Tenants other than the Major Tenants (“Other Tenants”) who have not provided an Estoppel Certificate in order to satisfy the estoppel threshold required to be obtained by Seller in Section 4.1(f)(i)(2) (the “Estoppel Threshold”); provided, however, that the aggregate square footage of leased premises with respect to the Shopping Center for which Seller Estoppels may be delivered by Seller in lieu of Estoppel Certificates in order to satisfy the Estoppel Threshold shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the leased rentable square footage of Other Tenants with respect to the Shopping Center. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller Estoppels shall not satisfy the Estoppel Threshold if Purchaser’s lender does not permit Seller Estoppels to satisfy the Estoppel Threshold; provided that Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its lender to accept Seller Estoppels or other assurances from Seller or TRG, which they are willing to provide, in their sole discretion.
(iv)Any REA Estoppel that does not meet the requirements of an Acceptable REA Estoppel, or Estoppel Certificate that does not meet the requirements of an Acceptable Tenant Estoppel shall be deemed to be an Acceptable REA Estoppel or Acceptable Tenant Estoppel, as applicable, if Seller agrees to indemnify Purchaser for the monetized value of the disclosed default or claim (collectively, “REA/Tenant Claims”), prior to the Closing; provided that if the aggregate amount of REA/Tenant Claims at the Shopping Center is equal to or greater than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), this condition precedent shall not be satisfied and Purchaser, at its option, may either (1) require that Seller indemnify Purchaser or Purchaser’s lender for such REA/Tenant Claims, or (2) terminate this Agreement in writing, in which case Escrow Agent shall refund the Deposit (except for the Independent Consideration) to Purchaser and both Purchaser and Seller will be relieved of any further obligations hereunder, except for the obligations hereunder which expressly survive the Closing or other termination of this Agreement; provided, further, however that if Purchaser’s lender does not find Seller’s or TRG’s indemnification of Purchaser under this clause (iv) as an acceptable remedy to cure any REA/Tenant Claims, this condition precedent shall not be satisfied and Purchaser may terminate this Agreement in writing in accordance with clause (2) above (provided that Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its lender to accept any indemnification as set forth in this clause (iv)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after delivering an executed Estoppel Certificate for a tenant, such tenant delivers to Seller a written notice of default or a written notice contradicting any material information contained in a previously delivered Estoppel Certificate, such Estoppel Certificate shall not be an Acceptable Estoppel unless the default or contradictory statement is cured prior to the Closing or deemed to be an Acceptable REA Estoppel or an Acceptable Tenant Estoppel pursuant to this clause (iv). Any indemnity provide by Seller under this clause (iv) shall be guaranteed by TRG pursuant to the attached Joinder.
(g)Intentionally Omitted.
(h)No Injunction. No injunction has been issued by a court of competent jurisdiction (whether temporary, preliminary, or final) enjoining the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything in Sections 4.1(e), 4.1(f) and 4.1(g) to the contrary, if Purchaser shall direct Seller to send out to the respective recipients the REA Estoppels or the Estoppel Certificates pursuant to Section 9.3 hereof (i) less than sixty (60) days prior to Closing, the failure of Seller to obtain the requisite number of such estoppels from the REA Parties or the applicable tenants, as applicable, by the Closing shall not constitute a failure of such conditions to be satisfied by Seller (provided that Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite number of estoppels from the REA Parties or applicable tenants, as applicable, by the Closing), and (ii) if following such direction by Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.3 hereof, Purchaser extends the Closing in accordance with the terms of Section 5.1(b) or Section 5.1(c) of this Agreement or the Closing is otherwise extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement other than a result of a default by Seller, the failure of such estoppels to be dated no earlier than sixty (60) days prior to Closing shall not constitute a failure of such conditions to be satisfied by Seller (provided that Seller agrees
to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain estoppels dated no earlier than sixty (60) days prior to Closing).
Subject to the terms of Sections 4.1(a) and 4.1(b), in the event that any of the conditions set forth in this Section 4.1 are not satisfied on the Closing Date, Purchaser may either: (i) waive in writing any such condition and proceed with the Closing; or (ii) terminate this Agreement in writing and, following any such termination, Escrow Agent shall refund the Deposit (except for the Independent Consideration) to Purchaser and both Purchaser and Seller will be relieved of any further obligations hereunder, except for the obligations hereunder which expressly survive the Closing or other termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE V
CLOSING
5.1 | Date and Manner of Closing. |
(a)Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV, the closing contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur at 1:00 P.M. (Eastern Time) on September 19, 2014 (the “Initial Closing Date,” as such date may be extended pursuant to subparagraphs (b) and (c) below or as otherwise extended pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement, or such earlier date as mutually agreed to in writing by and among the parties hereto, the “Closing Date”) at the offices of the Escrow Agent or through mutually acceptable escrow arrangements.
(b)Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion for any reason or no reason, to extend the Initial Closing Date until October 20, 2014 (the “First Extended Closing Date”), by delivering written notice of such extension (the “First Extension Notice”) to Seller at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Initial Closing Date and, subject to the other terms and conditions of this paragraph, by depositing the amount set forth in the Effective Date Letter for the “Second Deposit” (such amount, the “Second Deposit”) by wire transfer of immediately-available Federal funds on or before the Initial Closing Date. In all events and under all circumstances, Purchaser shall be entitled to any and all interest earned on the Second Deposit. If Purchaser has delivered the First Extension Notice and fails to close on the Initial Closing Date and fails to deliver the Second Deposit as provided in this Section 5.1(b), and there is no existing failure of a condition under Sections 4.1(a), (b) (in the case of clause (b) only, other than the performance of an obligation not performable as of such time or not required to be performed as of such time), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) (in the case of clause (i) only, other than the performance of an obligation not performable as of such time or not required to be performed as of such time) (“Seller’s Conditions”), then Seller may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Purchaser at any time after the Initial Closing Date, in which event the Deposit shall immediately be disbursed to Seller and neither party shall have any liability hereunder except for those liabilities that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. If, on the Initial Closing Date, Seller’s Conditions are not satisfied, Purchaser may still extend the Initial Closing Date to the First Extended Closing Date, but instead of depositing the Second Deposit, it shall give written notice to Seller on or before the Initial Closing Date identifying each unsatisfied condition (the “Unsatisfied Conditions”). If Seller thereafter satisfy the Unsatisfied Conditions and deliver written notice to Purchaser that all of the Unsatisfied Conditions are satisfied, then Purchaser shall have two (2) Business Days after the date of receipt of such written notice and satisfaction of the Unsatisfied Conditions (and provided there are no other unsatisfied Seller’s Conditions, as of such new date), to deposit the Second Deposit with the Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately-available Federal funds. If Purchaser fails to deposit the Second Deposit with Escrow Agent within such two (2) Business Day period and has not previously delivered to Escrow Agent the Second Deposit, then provided there does not exist a failure of Seller’s Conditions as of such date, Seller may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Purchaser at any time thereafter, in which event the Deposit shall immediately be disbursed to Seller and neither party shall have any liability hereunder except for those liabilities that expressly survive termination of this Agreement.
(c)If the Initial Closing Date is extended pursuant to subparagraph (b) above, Purchaser shall have the right for any reason or no reason, in its sole and absolute discretion, to extend the First Extended Closing Date until November 19, 2014 (the “Second Extended Closing Date”), by delivering written notice of such extension (the “Second Extension Notice”) to Seller at least five (5) Business Days prior to the First Extended Closing Date and, subject to the other terms and conditions of this paragraph, by depositing the amount set forth in the Effective Date Letter for the “Third Deposit” (such amount, the “Third Deposit”)
by wire transfer of immediately-available Federal funds on or before the First Extended Closing Date. In all events and under all circumstances, Purchaser shall be entitled to any and all interest earned on the Third Deposit. If Purchaser has delivered the Second Extension Notice and fails to close on the Second Extended Closing Date and fails to deliver the Third Deposit as provided in this Section 5.1(c), and Seller have satisfied all of the Seller’s Conditions then Seller may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Purchaser at any time after the First Extended Closing Date, in which event the Deposit shall immediately be disbursed to Seller and neither party shall have any liability hereunder except for those liabilities that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. If, on the First Extended Closing Date, Seller’s Conditions are not satisfied, Purchaser may still extend the First Extended Closing Date to the Second Extended Closing Date, but instead of depositing the Third Deposit, it shall give written notice to Seller on or before the First Extended Closing Date identifying each of the Unsatisfied Conditions. If Seller thereafter satisfy the Unsatisfied Conditions and deliver written notice to Purchaser that all of the Unsatisfied Conditions are satisfied, then Purchaser shall have two (2) Business Days after the date of receipt of such written notice and satisfaction of the Unsatisfied Conditions (and provided there are no other unsatisfied Seller’s Conditions as of such new date), to deposit the Third Deposit with the Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately-available Federal funds. If Purchaser fails to deposit the Third Deposit with Escrow Agent within such two (2) Business Day Period and has not previously delivered to Escrow Agent the Third Deposit, then provided there does not exist a failure of Seller’s Conditions as of such date, Seller may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Purchaser at any time thereafter, in which event the Deposit shall immediately be disbursed to Seller and neither party shall have any liability hereunder except for those liabilities that expressly survive termination of this Agreement.
(d)The Second Deposit, if paid, and the Third Deposit, if paid, shall become part of the “Deposit” as such term is used in this Agreement.
(e)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Closing Date is extended pursuant to Sections 4.1(e) - (g), 7.5, 7.6, 8.1, 8.2, 11.1 or 11.2(b), or any other express provision in this Agreement, in no event or circumstance shall the Closing occur later, than December 19, 2014 (the “Outside Closing Date”).

Seller will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in providing Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives with reasonable access to the Property solely for purposes of the Investigations; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller be obligated to provide, or to provide access to, any Confidential Materials (as defined in Section 6.1(c) below). All Investigations that are to be conducted at the Property shall be at reasonable times convenient to Seller after at least 24 hours’ prior notice to Seller. At Seller’s election, a representative of Seller or its property manager shall accompany Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives during any Investigation that is to be conducted at the Property. Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives shall conduct all Investigations in a manner so as to not disturb or interfere with (i) the operation of any tenant’s or any REA party’s business, or (ii) the current use of the Property in any material respect, and shall take all reasonable precautions to avoid damage to the Property and injury to persons on or about the Property. Purchaser shall, immediately after any entry upon the Real Property to
conduct any Investigation, restore the Property, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to the same condition to the extent practicable that existed immediately prior thereto. Purchaser agrees to discontinue any Investigation promptly upon notice from Seller if such Investigation presents a danger to human health or safety or would otherwise adversely impact the Property. Purchaser’s Investigations shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable legal requirements and Purchaser and each of Purchaser’s Representatives shall comply, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, with all legal requirements applicable to such Investigations. Purchaser understands and agrees that unless Seller consent thereto in writing pursuant to this Section 6.1, Purchaser’s environmental investigation shall be limited to a so-called Phase I environmental site assessment as to the Real Property and neither Purchaser nor any Purchaser’s Representative may undertake any soil or groundwater testing for contaminants or any other subsurface investigation or any invasive testing of the Property, including, without limitation, any invasive testing of walls, ceilings, roofs, or floors of the Improvements. If any Phase I environmental site assessment obtained by Purchaser with respect to any part of the Real Property discloses any “recognized environmental condition” as defined under ASTM standards (a “REC”), then Purchaser may provide Seller with a written request to undertake the testing of soil or groundwater (or other media) with respect to such REC. Any such written request by Purchaser shall include a reasonably detailed scope of work describing the testing that Purchaser proposes to perform (the “Scope of Work”). Seller shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the work described in the Scope of Work, provided that (1) the applicable REC is a reasonable concern, (2) the testing of environmental media is necessary to evaluate the applicable REC, and (3) the Scope of Work is a reasonable scope of work for evaluating the applicable REC. (The term “Business Day” as used herein shall mean any day other than Saturdays or Sundays or any other day on which national banks are not open for business in Michigan or New York.) All environmental investigations shall be conducted in accordance with applicable industry standards (including, without limitation, ASTM standards). This Section 6.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement indefinitely.
(b)Seller will provide, or make available, to Purchaser Due Diligence Materials (as defined in Section 6.5 below) about the Shopping Center, as reasonably requested by Purchaser, solely for the purpose of its due diligence; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller be obligated to provide, or to provide access to, any Confidential Materials.
(c)The term “Confidential Materials” shall mean any and all of the following: appraisals; budgets; strategic plans for the Property; internal analyses; financial projections; information regarding the marketing of the Property for sale; submissions relating to obtaining internal authorization for the sale of the Property by Seller or any direct or indirect owner of any beneficial interest in Seller; internal minutes or deliberations of Seller or any governing body or council thereof; organizational documents of Seller or any direct or indirect owner of any beneficial interest in Seller; federal and state income tax returns, attorney and accountant work product; attorney-client privileged documents; investor communications; or internal correspondence of Seller.
(d)The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Confidentiality Agreement remains in full force and effect and that nothing herein affects the terms and provisions contained therein. Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall be bound by the terms and provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement to the same extent as Starwood Capital Eurasia/America Holdings, L.L.C. as if Purchaser were a signatory thereof. Any and all information and material received by, or made available to, Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be “Evaluation Material” under the Confidentiality Agreement.
6.2 | Insurance and Risk of Loss. |
Prior to such time as Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Representatives enter the Property, Purchaser shall obtain, and provide Seller with certificates evidencing, policies of general liability insurance that insure Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives with liability insurance limits of not less than $2,000,000 combined single limit for personal injury and property damage and name Seller and TTC as additional insureds. Such insurance shall be written by a company or companies reasonably satisfactory to Seller. Purchaser assumes all risks associated with Purchaser’s and Purchaser’s Representatives’ entry upon and Investigations of the Property.
6.3 | Contacts with Authorities; Required Disclosure. |
Except in connection with the preparation of a so-called “Phase I” environmental report or zoning and/or building code investigations with respect to the Shopping Center, Purchaser and any of Purchaser's Representatives shall provide Seller with 48 hours’ prior written notice (which notice may be given by email or other electronic delivery) before any other contact with any governmental body or agency (an “Authority”), which notice shall include a general description of the matters to be discussed with such Authority, and Seller shall have the right to be present (or to have its representative be present) for any such contact; provided that Seller shall not be obligated to participate in any manner in connection with any such contact with any Authority or to provide any approvals, endorsements or representations in connection with any such contact. Purchaser agrees that in the event that, under applicable Law, Purchaser is required to notify any Authority of any condition at the Shopping Center as a result of any findings in any environmental assessment or any other Investigation done by or at the direction of Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives, Purchaser shall, to the extent practical and not legally prohibited, immediately notify Seller and Seller (not Purchaser, Purchaser’s Representatives or anyone acting on behalf of Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives) shall make such disclosure as Seller deems appropriate and shall promptly provide Purchaser with copies of all such disclosures; provided, however, that if Purchaser has an independent legal obligation to notify any Authority of such condition at the Shopping Center, it may satisfy this obligation, but, in the event it provides such notification before Closing, Purchaser shall provide, to the extent practical and not legally prohibited, Seller with as much advance notice of the contents of the notification as possible so that Seller may, at its discretion, provide timely notification on behalf of both Seller and Purchaser. Nothing in this Section 6.3 shall be construed to restrict the authority of Purchaser to communicate with any Authority after Closing.
6.4 | Contacts with Tenants. |
Purchaser shall have the right to conduct interviews of any tenants or occupants of the Shopping Center that agree to such interviews, but only after Seller or Purchaser issue the joint press release referred to in Section 16.1 hereof.
6.5 | Due Diligence Materials. |
The term “Due Diligence Materials” shall mean (1) all material and information that Seller, its affiliates, or others on their behalf furnish or otherwise make available to Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s Representatives, whether before or after the Effective Date, together with any reports, analyses, compilations, forecasts, memoranda, notes, studies, and other written or electronic materials prepared by or for Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives that contain, reflect, or are based upon such information and material and (2) all material and information that Purchaser’s Representatives furnish or otherwise make available to Purchaser.
6.6 | Confidentiality of Due Diligence Information. |
The Due Diligence Materials and any other information with respect to the Shopping Center provided, or made available, by Seller to or obtained by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives prior to Closing will be used solely for the purpose of evaluating the transaction described herein and shall be deemed to be “Evaluation Material” under the Confidentiality Agreement. Unless and until the Closing, Purchaser shall not disclose, and shall not permit any of Purchaser’s Representatives to disclose, any portion of the Due Diligence Materials or any such other information to any individual or entity, except as expressly permitted to disclose Evaluation Material in the Confidentiality Agreement. Purchaser shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 6.6 by its affiliates or Purchaser’s Representatives. This Section 6.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement until March 20, 2016.
6.7 | Return of Due Diligence Information. |
If for any reason a Closing does not occur or if this Agreement terminates for any reason, then Purchaser shall immediately return and/or deliver to Seller all original Due Diligence Materials (provided by Seller and not produced by Purchaser) and return to Seller or destroy all other Due Diligence Materials and all copies or photocopies thereof in its possession or in the possession of any Purchaser Representative in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, however, if Purchaser intends to bring suit against Seller for specific performance for purposes of conveyance of the Property pursuant to this Agreement, this Section 6.7 shall not apply for the longer of (i) ninety (90) days after such failure to close or termination, as applicable, and (ii) the duration of such lawsuit or any appeals relating thereto. This Section 6.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement indefinitely.
6.8 | Indemnification. |
Purchaser shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Seller) and hold harmless Seller, Seller’s Representatives, TTC, and its and their respective direct and indirect owners, officers, directors, agents, and employees from and against any and all Liabilities to the extent arising out of or in any way related to (i) any Investigation or (ii) any breach by Purchaser or any Purchaser’s Representative of the terms of this Article VI. The Purchaser’s indemnity obligations set forth in this Section 6.8 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement for one (1) year. As used herein, the term “Liabilities” shall mean any and all demands, claims, actions, causes of action, assessments, losses, damages (other than special, consequential, speculative, punitive or similar damages), liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

7.2 | Survey. |
Seller have delivered, or made available, to Purchaser prior to the Effective Date the survey of the Shopping Center identified on Exhibit N attached hereto (the “Existing Survey”). Seller has ordered a new survey for the Shopping Center (a “New Survey”, and together with the Existing Survey, the “Surveys”).
7.3 | Title. |
At the Closing, each Seller shall give, and Purchaser shall accept, good and insurable title to its Real Property (either fee or leasehold, as the case may be), subject only to (a) title exceptions shown on the Pro Forma as of the Effective Date (excluding any Unpermitted Exceptions); (b) non-delinquent real property taxes, water and sewer charges and all assessments (governmental and private) and unpaid installments thereof; (c) any special assessments of which Seller first received notice after the Effective Date, to the extent the same are not yet due and payable, (d) matters shown on the Existing Survey, (e) the rights of tenants under Leases, as tenants only (but including any rights of anchor tenants to buy their pads and parking, if applicable, under Leases), and any matter (other than Permitted Tenant Liens covered by clause (i) below) created by tenants (other than Seller or its affiliates) which they have the right to do pursuant to their Leases and not resulting from or caused by a breach or default by a Seller or its affiliates under a Lease or REA, (f) matters caused, consented to in writing, or created by Purchaser or any of its affiliates or any of Purchaser’s Representatives; (g) matters which Purchaser shall have approved in writing or be deemed to have approved after the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (h) intentionally omitted (i) any mechanics’ liens relating to work done by or for tenants (including any notices of commencement, notices of furnishings, designation of lien agents or other similar matters relating to the construction of any tenant improvements under the Leases) or judgment liens or other involuntary liens securing a monetary amount created by, through or under a tenant of a Shopping Center (other than Seller or its affiliates) unless due to the failure of Seller or its affiliate to perform its obligations (the “Permitted Tenant Liens”), (j) any new title exceptions that are disclosed by any updates to the Pro Forma or any New Survey that relate to easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way customarily found on regional shopping centers and given in the ordinary course of business, provided that no such exception shall adversely affect the use, operation, development or value of the Property or portion thereof or rights or interests therein, and (k) New Title Exceptions which are deemed to be Permitted Exceptions because Purchaser failed to object to such New Title Exception pursuant to Section 7.5, or are cured by Seller, in accordance with the terms of Section 7.5 and New Survey Exceptions which are deemed to be Permitted Exceptions because Purchaser failed to object to such New Survey Exception pursuant to Section 7.6, or are cured by Seller, in accordance with the terms of Section 7.6 (collectively, “Permitted Exceptions”). To the extent there are any Permitted Tenant Liens, Seller shall be obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any and all Liabilities related to the Permitted Tenant Liens (which indemnity obligation shall be guaranteed by TRG pursuant to the attached Joinder including any Liabilities incurred in connection with satisfying its obligations under this sentence and the following sentence). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (x) have the Permitted Tenant Liens released, discharged, or otherwise satisfied by the applicable tenants under the terms of their Leases, and (y) be reimbursed for such Liabilities by such tenants. If TRG indemnifies Purchaser with respect to any Permitted Tenant Liens before Purchaser is reimbursed for such Liabilities by a tenant, Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to continue to pursue such tenant for reimbursement, and in the event it obtains reimbursement, will reimburse TRG promptly thereafter.
7.4 | Unpermitted Exceptions. |
Seller shall, at Closing, cure by obtaining releases, if necessary expending money, or causing the Title Company to remove from the Title Policy or affirmatively insure over at no cost to Purchaser to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser the following (collectively, the “Unpermitted Exceptions”): (i) any mortgage lien or other voluntary lien incurred by Seller or its affiliates securing a specific monetary amount and encumbering the Shopping Center reflected on the Title Policy, (ii) any mechanics’ lien created by, through or under Seller or its affiliates (including any notices of commencement, notices of furnishings, designation of lien agents or other similar matters relating to the construction of any landlord improvements under the Leases), which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include Permitted Tenant Liens (which are governed by Section 7.3), and (iii) any judgment lien or other involuntary lien securing a monetary amount created by, through or under Seller or its affiliates, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include Permitted Tenant Liens (which are governed by Section 7.3). Seller may use any portion of its allocable portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy its obligation to remove any Unpermitted Exceptions that exist as of the Closing, and if Seller shall fail to cure such Unpermitted Exception as of the Closing, Purchaser, in addition to its right to terminate this Agreement to the extent permitted by Sections 4.1 or 11.2, shall be permitted (but shall not be obligated) to set off the monetized value of any Unpermitted Exceptions against the Purchase Price at Closing.
7.5 | New Title Exceptions. |
To the extent any new title exceptions are disclosed by any updates to the Pro Forma delivered by the Title Company to Purchaser prior to Closing that are not Permitted Exceptions or Unpermitted Exceptions (which shall be governed by Section 7.4) (“New Title Exceptions”), Purchaser shall provide written notice to Seller of any objections to any New Title Exceptions within the earlier of (x) ten (10) days of its receipt of the updated Pro Forma that disclosed such New Title Exception and (y) the then scheduled Closing Date, and if such notice is within five (5) days of the scheduled Closing Date the Closing shall be extended to afford Purchaser a ten (10) day period for review (provided that if Purchaser fails to provide written notice within such ten (10) day period that it objects to the New Title Exceptions, such New Title Exception shall be deemed to be a Permitted Exception for purposes hereunder). Seller shall thereafter have a period of up to thirty (30) days from receipt of such written notice with the Closing to be extended (but not beyond the Outside Closing Date), if necessary, to accommodate such thirty (30) day period (the “Title Cure Period”) to either (i) remove such New Title Exception from the updated Pro Forma, (ii) have such New Title Exception affirmatively insured over by the Title Company at no cost to Purchaser in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, or (iii) agree to give Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in an amount reasonably determined by Seller and Purchaser as the monetized value of any potential damages suffered by Purchaser as a result of such New Title Exception. If Seller shall fail to take any of the actions set forth in clauses (i) - (iii) in this Section 7.5 by the end of the Title Cure Period, Purchaser, in addition to its right to terminate this Agreement to the extent permitted by Section 4.1 or Section 11.2, shall be permitted (but shall not be obligated) to set off the monetized value of any New Title Exception against the Purchase Price at Closing and if any dispute shall exist with respect to the amount of such monetized value, the amount claimed by Purchaser shall remain with the Escrow Agent in escrow until finally resolved by the parties acting reasonably and in good faith
7.6 | New Survey Exceptions. |
To the extent any New Survey delivered to Purchaser prior to Closing discloses any new survey encroachments not disclosed on the Existing Survey that are not Permitted Exceptions or Unpermitted
Exceptions (which shall be governed by Section 7.4) (“New Survey Exceptions”), Purchaser shall provide written notice to Seller of any objections to any New Survey Exception within the earlier of (x) ten (10) days of its receipt of the New Survey that disclosed such New Survey Exception and (y) the then scheduled Closing Date, and if within five (5) days of the scheduled Closing Date and the Closing shall be extended to afford Purchaser such a ten (10) day period for review (provided that if Purchaser fails to provide written notice within such ten (10) day period that it objects to the New Survey Exceptions, such New Survey Exception shall be deemed to be a Permitted Exception for purposes hereunder). Seller shall thereafter have a period of up to thirty (30) days from receipt of such written notice with the Closing to be extended (but not beyond the Outside Closing Date), if necessary, to accommodate such thirty (30) day period (the “Survey Cure Period”) to either (i) remove such New Survey Exception from the New Survey, (ii) have such New Survey Exception affirmatively insured over by the Title Company at no cost to Purchaser in a manner reasonable satisfactory to Purchaser, or (iii) agree to give Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in an amount reasonably determined by Seller and Purchaser as the monetized value of any potential damages suffered by Purchaser as a result of such New Survey Exception. If Seller shall fail to take any of the actions set forth in clauses (i) - (iii) in this Section 7.6 by the end of the Survey Cure Period, Purchaser, in addition to its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 11.2, shall be permitted (but shall not be obligated) to set off the monetized value of any New Survey Exception against the Purchase Price at Closing and if any dispute shall exist with respect to the amount of such monetized value, such amount in dispute shall remain with the Escrow Agent in escrow until finally resolved by the parties acting reasonably and in good faith.

RISK OF LOSS
8.1 | Casualty. |
(a)If the Shopping Center is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”) prior to the Closing for said Shopping Center, then promptly after Seller becomes aware of the damage or destruction, Seller will send Purchaser written notice thereof (the “Damage Notice”). If a Major Individual Casualty (as defined below) occurs, then Purchaser may within the period thirty (30) days after the date of the Damage Notice (such period, the “Casualty Review Period”), with the Closing for the affected Shopping Center to be extended (but not beyond the Outside Closing Date), if necessary, to accommodate such Casualty Review Period, elect to terminate this Agreement in writing, in which case Escrow Agent shall refund the Deposit (except for the Independent Consideration) to Purchaser, and both Purchaser and Seller will be relieved of any further obligations hereunder, except for the obligations hereunder which expressly survive termination of this Agreement.
(b)If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement within the 30-day period with respect to such Casualty (or if Purchaser does not have the right to terminate this Agreement because the Casualty is not a Major Individual Casualty), the Closing will proceed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the full Purchase Price, notwithstanding the occurrence of such Casualty and Seller will pay or assign to Purchaser at the Closing, its right, title and interest in and to all insurance proceeds, if any, resulting from the Casualty, and pay Purchaser the amount of the applicable insurance deductible or self-insurance retention, less reasonable third-party out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Seller to commence and prosecute the repair of the Casualty.
(c)As used herein, a “Major Individual Casualty” shall be any Casualty or series of Casualties with respect to a particular Shopping Center for which the aggregate cost of repair, as reasonably determined by Seller, is equal to or greater than fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price.
8.2 | Condemnation. |
If, prior to the Closing, a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding is commenced against the Shopping Center (a “Taking”), Seller will give Purchaser notice within ten (10) days after Seller has received notice that the Taking proceeding has commenced (a “Taking Notice”).
(a)If the Taking is a Material Individual Taking (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser may, by written notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after the date of the Taking Notice (but not later than one (1) Business Day before the Closing Date) (such period, the “Taking Review Period”), with the Closing for the affected Shopping Center to be extended (but not beyond the Outside Closing Date), if necessary, to accommodate such Taking Review Period, elect to terminate this Agreement in writing, in which case Escrow Agent shall refund the Deposit (except for the Independent Consideration) to Purchaser, and both Purchaser and Seller will be relieved of any further obligations hereunder, except for the obligations hereunder which expressly survive termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Material Individual Taking” shall be a Taking or series of Takings with respect to a particular Shopping Center for which the aggregate value of such Takings at the Shopping Center, as reasonably determined by Seller, is equal to or greater than fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price, or main access to the Shopping Center is Taken.
(b)If the Taking is not a Material Individual Taking or if it is a Material Individual Taking and Purchaser does not give Seller a Taking Notice in accordance with paragraph (a) above, Purchaser will complete the transaction contemplated hereby without abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price, and said Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of its rights, if any, to receive the award payable to Seller as a result of such proceeding.
ARTICLE IX

to Purchaser a copy of any letter of intent or confirmation of business terms which shall be in the form set forth on Exhibit V attached hereto, or such other form approved or deemed approved by Purchaser (collectively, “CBT”) prior to negotiating any new lease document. If Seller shall request Purchaser’s approval to any proposed New Service Agreement, New Sponsorship Contract, and New Lease or CBT, Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days from its receipt of such request to give Seller notice of its approval or disapproval of such matter. If Purchaser does not give such notice, such matter shall be deemed approved by Purchaser, as long as Seller’s request contains the following legend in capital letters of not less than twelve-point type: “IF PURCHASER FAILS TO PROVIDE THE DISAPPROVAL OR APPROVAL REQUESTED IN THIS NOTICE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE, PURCHASER’S APPROVAL WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN GIVEN.” With respect to any CBT which is approved or deemed approved by Purchaser, Seller shall have the right to enter into a new lease (or modification or termination of an existing lease) so long as such lease (or modification or termination) is consistent with the terms of such CBT in all material respects and is on TTC’s standard form of lease agreement made available to Purchaser prior to the Effective Date in Seller’s online data room; provided that if the terms of the rent, tenant reimbursements, landlord work or tenant allowances in a new lease (or modification or termination of an existing lease) changes by five percent (5%) or more from the CBT, or if any renewal options, exclusives, volume kick-outs or co-tenancy provisions are included in any new lease which were not included in the CBT or are modified in any respect (other than a de minimis modification) from what was contained in the CBT, such changes shall be deemed material for purpose of this sentence and shall require Purchaser’s consent prior to entering into any such new lease (or modification or termination of an existing lease).

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller has the right to (i) subject to Section 9.2, terminate, or accept a surrender of, a Lease if the tenant thereunder is in default and (ii) enter into license agreements provided such license agreements are terminable by Purchaser after Closing without cost or penalty on no more than thirty (30) days’ notice.

(e)Intentionally Omitted.
(f)Seller shall not amend, modify or terminate any REA without first obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion, unless Seller is obligated by the terms of the REA to amend or modify an REA, in which event, Purchaser’s consent shall not be required but Seller shall promptly provide notice of same to Purchaser.

Purchaser and its counsel, rather than Seller and its counsel, shall be the ones responsible for negotiating the aforementioned requested SNDAs.
9.8 | Non-Solicitation. |
Until the earlier of Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms herein, neither Seller or nor any of its affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, take any action to solicit, initiate, encourage or assist the submission of any proposal, negotiation or offer from any person or entity other than Purchaser relating to the sale or other disposition, whether directly or indirectly, of all or any part of the Shopping Center or any interest therein (other than Seller or an affiliate of TRG acquiring the interest of another partner or member of Seller).

Agreements”). Seller shall either (i) have all Non-Assumed Service Agreements terminated prior to Closing at Seller’s sole cost and expense, or (ii) shall be responsible for all costs, obligations and liabilities under any such Non-Assumed Service Agreements that are not terminated prior to Closing, until such Service Agreements are terminated or expire after Closing.

All Rentals (as defined in this Section below), revenues and other income of the Property, if any, and all utilities, real estate taxes, assessments, maintenance charges and other regular operating expenses of the Property, if any, shall be paid or shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller as of the Proration Date (as defined in this Section below) in accordance with the provisions set forth below in this Article X, on the Shopping Center by Shopping Center basis. In each proration below, the portion thereof applicable to the period before the Proration Date benefits or is the obligation of Seller with respect to the Shopping Center and the portion thereof applicable to the period from and after the Proration Date benefits or is the obligation of Purchaser. Prorations shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year. As used herein, the term “Rentals” shall mean Base Rent (as defined in Section 10.3 below), tenant reimbursements for Operating Expenses (as defined in Section 10.4 below), Percentage Rentals (as defined in Section 10.5 below) and all other sums and charges payable by tenants pursuant to their Leases. As used herein, the term “Proration Date” shall mean 11:59 P.M. on the day immediately preceding the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Article X, the Closing Date shall mean the actual date of the Closing.
10.3 | Collected Base Rent. |
All collected Base Rent for the month of Closing under Leases in effect on the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Proration Date. Purchaser shall be credited with any Base Rent collected by Seller before the Proration Date but applicable to any period of time from and after the Proration Date. Uncollected Base Rent shall not be prorated on the Closing Date. As used herein, the term “Base Rent” shall mean base rent, minimum rent, or fixed rent payable in fixed installments for stated periods by tenants under Leases, but excluding tenant reimbursements of Operating Expenses which reimbursements are fixed on an annual basis (“Fixed CAM”).
10.4 | Operating Expenses and Tenant Reimbursement of Operating Expenses. |
Tenant reimbursements of Operating Expenses (whether Fixed CAM or net CAM, i.e., a variable annual amount determined, in part, by actual Operating Expenses) shall be adjusted as specified in this Section 10.4. All interim tenant reimbursements received by Seller for Operating Expenses for the calendar year
2014 shall be retained by Seller until year-end adjustment and determination of Seller’s and Purchaser’s allocable share thereof. All interim tenant reimbursements received by Purchaser for Operating Expenses for the calendar year 2014 shall be retained by Purchaser until year-end adjustment and determination of Seller’s and Purchaser’s allocable share thereof. Upon final determination of Operating Expenses and tenant reimbursements for Operating Expenses received from the tenants under their Leases for the calendar year 2014, Seller and Purchaser shall make a payment or adjust between themselves so that the total, net difference between such Operating Expenses and reimbursements for 2014 (after taking into account tenant reconciliations), whether a profit or a loss, shall accrue to or be borne by Purchaser and Seller (taking into account the total amounts received and spent by Purchaser and Seller for 2014) such that Seller’s allocable share of such difference shall be equal to an amount determined by multiplying such difference by the fraction whose numerator is the number of days in such calendar year on or before the Proration Date, and whose denominator is 365, and Purchaser shall be entitled to or shall bear the balance of such difference. Prior to such adjustment between Seller and Purchaser, as soon as possible after January 1, 2015, Purchaser shall xxxx or credit tenants any amount due. Those Operating Expenses being paid directly by tenants or others shall not be adjusted. Purchaser shall have the right to conduct and administer the year-end tenant reconciliations with tenants pertaining to Operating Expenses and real estate taxes and assessments, provided that Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in preparing such year-end reconciliations with respect to the Shopping Center in all reasonable respects requested by Purchaser, including, without limitation, the furnishing of all recovery computations, including occupancy, expense and tenant payment information pertaining to the period before Closing to enable Purchaser to properly calculate the amounts payable to or from the tenants. As used herein, the term “Operating Expenses” shall mean insurance, utilities (to the extent not paid directly by tenants), common area maintenance, marketing and other operating costs and expenses incurred, excluding taxes and assessments, by Seller and those incurred by Purchaser, which in the case of Purchaser are incurred in the ordinary course of business and are reasonable and consistent with Seller’s budget therefor delivered to Purchaser prior to the Closing, except for costs and expenses beyond Purchaser’s reasonable control.
10.5 | Percentage Rentals. |
Percentage Rentals shall be separately prorated under each Lease on the basis of the fiscal year set forth in each Lease for the payment of Percentage Rentals. All interim Percentage Rental payments made before the Closing Date shall be retained by Seller with respect to the Shopping Center until year-end adjustment and determination of Seller’s allocable share thereof. All amounts received by Purchaser after the Closing Date as interim payments of Percentage Rentals shall be retained by Purchaser until year-end adjustment and determination of Seller’s allocable share thereof. Upon final determination of Percentage Rentals paid by a tenant under its Lease for the fiscal year under that Lease in which the Closing Date occurs, Seller and Purchaser shall adjust between themselves amounts paid for such fiscal year on account of Percentage Rentals, and Seller’s allocable share of such Percentage Rentals shall be equal to an amount determined by multiplying total Percentage Rentals paid for the Shopping Center by the fraction whose numerator is the number of days in such fiscal year on or before the Proration Date, and whose denominator is 365. Prior to such adjustment between Seller and Purchaser, at the end of the fiscal year for each Lease for which Percentage Rentals are due, Purchaser shall xxxx or credit tenants any amount due. To the extent received by Purchaser under the applicable Lease, Purchaser shall furnish Seller with financial statements indicating the sales and Percentage Rental figures for each tenant for all relevant periods. Within thirty (30) days after collection, Purchaser shall remit to Seller its allocable share, less interim payments previously retained by Seller, if any. If Seller has retained amounts in excess of its allocable share, Seller shall, within thirty (30) days after written notice from Purchaser of the excess owed Purchaser, remit such excess to Purchaser. Any Percentage Rentals with respect to Leases terminated before the Closing Date shall belong entirely to Seller, and Purchaser shall remit to Seller all payments made to Purchaser after the Closing Date on account of such Percentage Rentals. Any Percentage Rentals with respect to Leases commencing on or
after the Closing Date shall belong entirely to Purchaser. As used herein, the term “Percentage Rentals” means percentage rents and other similar rental payments in lieu or in excess of Base Rents under the Leases, whether finally determined before or after the expiration of the fiscal years under various Leases.
10.6 | Final Adjustments After Closing. |
If final prorations for those items addressed herein cannot be made on the Closing Date, then Purchaser and Seller agree to allocate such items with respect to their respective period of ownership as soon as invoices, bills or other information sufficient to make such prorations are available, but with such final adjustment(s) to be made no later than thirty (30) days following Purchaser’s reconciliation (i.e., billing or crediting tenants) with the tenants of the tenants’ obligations for such amounts, which reconciliation with the tenants shall be completed no later than June 30, 2015 (the “Final Adjustment Date”). Purchaser shall be responsible for administering all reconciliations and other adjustments with such tenants in accordance with the Leases and collecting or crediting same. Payments in connection with such final adjustments set forth in this Section 10.6 shall be due within thirty (30) days of mutual agreement of the amount(s) due and actual receipt of such amounts from tenants. Each party shall have reasonable access to, and the right to inspect and audit at such party’s expense, the other party’s supporting documentation to confirm the final prorations, provided at least three (3) Business Days’ advance written notice is given by the auditing party to the audited party. If Purchaser and Seller fail to agree on any final adjustments by thirty (30) days after the Final Adjustment Date, then any final adjustments that have not been determined by mutual agreement shall be determined by a firm of independent certified public accountants selected by Purchaser and Seller; provided that if the Purchaser and Seller fail to agree on such accounting firm, either party may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of such firm and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto. Purchaser and Seller shall provide all information necessary for such accounting firm to calculate such final adjustments and shall share the cost of having such accounting firm calculate such final adjustments.
10.7 | Other Items of Expense or Receipt. |
All other customarily prorated items of expense or receipt not specifically addressed in this Agreement shall be prorated between the parties hereto as of the Proration Date, including, without limitation, amounts due or accrued for advertising programs, and outstanding gift certificate or similar items. Except with respect to items prorated at Closing or as otherwise specified in this Agreement, Seller shall be responsible for payment of any and all bills or charges for work, services, supplies or materials incurred with respect to the Shopping Center on or prior to the Proration Date, and Purchaser shall be responsible for payment of any and all bills or charges for work, services, supplies or materials incurred after the Proration Date.
10.8 | Collection of Delinquent Base Rent, Operating Expenses, Etc. |
Purchaser will make commercially reasonable efforts (expressly without the obligation to file any suit, pursue other legal action or exercise any other rights or remedies against the tenants) to collect any delinquent Base Rents, Percentage Rentals, reimbursements for real estate taxes and assessments, tenant reimbursements for Operating Expenses and other income from tenants applicable to any periods before the Closing Date (less than 6 months overdue as of Closing) and Purchaser may not waive any delinquent amounts due Seller or modify any Lease that has the effect of reducing any delinquent amounts due Seller. Seller may not pursue any collection activities as to any Base Rent, Percentage Rentals, real estate taxes and assessments, tenant reimbursements for Operating Expenses and other income applicable to any periods before the Closing Date, or file any claims, lawsuits, or take any other actions against any tenants that were tenants on the Closing Date. Any delinquent amounts collected by Purchaser shall be applied in the order and priority as hereinafter provided. Any such amounts received by Seller after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Purchaser within ten (10) days of Seller’s receipt and Seller shall provide name of tenant, date
of payment, description of payment and amount of payment within ten (10) days of each month-end (for any month any such cash is collected). Purchaser shall apply delinquent amounts collected by Purchaser after the Closing Date (including amounts delivered by Seller) in accordance with the directions of the tenant paying such delinquent amounts; provided, however, in the absence of any written directions from a tenant (without any direction from Seller or its affiliates), Purchaser shall apply such amounts first to amounts then owing to Purchaser from such tenant for the period of Purchaser’s ownership, and to late charges and to restore delinquent Security Deposits required under the terms of a Lease and those reasonable attorney fees incurred by Purchaser in collecting said amounts, then to Seller for amounts past due and pertaining to the period prior to the Proration Date.
10.9 | Security Deposits. |
All Security Deposits made by the tenants of the Shopping Center will be credited to Purchaser at Closing to the extent the same have not been applied by Seller in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease prior to the Closing; provided that Seller shall be obligated to return to Purchaser the amount of any Security Deposits improperly applied by Seller. If Seller is holding any Security Deposits in the form of letters of credit, such original letters of credit shall be turned over to Purchaser at Closing and Purchaser will not receive a credit for such Security Deposits. Each Seller shall execute and deliver at Closing such instruments as the issuers of such letters of credit shall require to effect the transfer or re‑issuance thereof to Purchaser at Closing; provided that if any such Security Deposits that are in the form of letters of credit are not transferred or re-issued at Closing, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to cause the same to be promptly transferred or re-issued to Purchaser following Closing at no out of-pocket-expense or additional liability to Seller, and, until such transfer or re-issuance, Seller shall, as Purchaser’s agent and at its request, draw on any letter of credit in accordance with the applicable Lease and immediately deliver the proceeds to Purchaser (and until such delivery, such funds shall be held in trust by Seller for the benefit of Purchaser). In the event Purchaser makes such a request, and Seller effects a draw on the letter of credit and delivers the applicable proceeds to Purchaser, Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from any claims arising therefrom, including any assertion by a tenant that such draw was wrongful or a breach of Lease, which indemnification shall be inclusive of reasonable attorney’s fees. Any verifiable out-of-pocket expense actually incurred by Seller in such cooperation shall be equally shared between the parties.
10.10 | Intentionally Omitted. |
10.11 | Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes. |
Real estate and personal property taxes and assessments imposed on the Shopping Center, which shall be deemed to include any special assessments, and any additional taxes and assessments arising out of a change of ownership as a result of the Closing (“Prorated Taxes”), shall be prorated as of the Proration Date in accordance with this Section 10.11. Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller, to the extent not paid by tenants, shall be responsible for all taxes accrued prior to 2014, whether or not such taxes are payable prior to or after Closing. Seller has delivered to Purchaser a schedule showing which tax bills are to be paid with funds that are collected from tenants in 2014. All interim tenant reimbursements received by Seller for Prorated Taxes which have not previously been used by Seller to pay such Prorated Taxes shall be delivered to Purchaser at Closing to be retained by Purchaser until the final adjustment and determination of Seller’s and Purchaser’s allocable share thereof. All interim tenant reimbursements received by Purchaser for Prorated Taxes shall be retained by Purchaser until the final adjustment and determination of Seller’s and Purchaser’s allocable shares thereof. The parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in any efforts to obtain a reduction in Prorated Taxes assessed against the Shopping Center for 2014. All refunds or tax savings relating to Prorated Taxes, after deducting any portion thereof due tenants, (x) shall inure to the benefit of Seller to
the extent such refunds or tax savings relate to any period prior to the year in which Closing occurs and same were paid by Seller, (y) shall inure to the benefit of Purchaser to the extent such refunds or tax savings relate to any period after the year in which the Closing occurs, and (z) shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Proration Date if applicable to the year in which the Closing occurs; provided, however, that prior to any such allocation or proration between Seller and Purchaser, such refunds or tax savings shall be reduced by the amount of the legal and consulting fees actually incurred by Seller or Purchaser in connection with obtaining such refunds and tax savings. All Prorated Taxes shall be reprorated by Seller and Purchaser upon the reconciliation of the amounts owed by tenants for any “true up” of amounts credited to or due from the tenants for such real estate taxes and assessments. Seller and Purchaser shall adjust between themselves amounts owed by Seller and Purchaser for 2014 on account of the variance between tenant reimbursements paid for such Prorated Taxes and such Prorated Taxes paid with funds collected from tenants in 2014, and Seller’s allocable share of such variance shall be equal to an amount determined by multiplying the total variance by the fraction whose numerator is the number of days in such year before the Proration Date, and whose denominator is 365. For purposes of this Section 10.11, tenant reimbursements for taxes includes specific tax reimbursements as well as the tax reimbursement component of any CAM to the extent not prorated under Section 10.4.
10.12 | Leasing Costs. |
Seller shall be responsible for all Leasing Costs relating to the Leases at the Shopping Center entered into, and renewals, amendments, expansions and extensions of such Leases which occur or are entered into, prior to the Effective Date (the “Price Determination Date”), as well as the Leasing Costs for those leases set forth on Schedule 10.12 (“Seller Costs”). To the extent Seller Costs incurred or accrued prior to the Price Determination Date have not been fully paid as of the Closing, there shall be an adjustment at the Closing against the Purchase Price in the amount of the balance of Seller Costs incurred or accrued prior to the Price Determination Date remaining to be paid (other than amounts due TTC which amounts shall be paid by Seller), in which case Purchaser shall assume and pay such costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.12 to the contrary, Purchaser shall be responsible for all Leasing Costs (other than Seller Costs) relating to Leases entered into in accordance with the terms of this Agreement after the Price Determination Date, and renewals, amendments, expansions and extensions of Leases which occur or are entered into in accordance with the terms of this Agreement after the Price Determination Date (regardless of when the Leases relating thereto were entered into), and to the extent such costs have been paid by Seller prior to Closing, there shall be a credit at Closing in favor of Seller for reimbursement of such amounts. For purposes hereof, the term “Leasing Costs” shall mean with respect to a particular Lease, all capital costs, expenses incurred for capital improvements, equipment, painting, decorating, partitioning and other items to satisfy the initial construction obligations of the landlord under such Lease (including any expenses incurred for architectural or engineering services in respect of the foregoing), “tenant allowances” in lieu of or as reimbursements for the foregoing items, payments made for purposes of satisfying or terminating the obligations of the tenant under such Lease to the landlord under another lease (i.e., lease buyout costs), relocation costs, temporary leasing costs, leasing commissions (including leasing commissions payable to TTC (or any affiliate thereof) consistent with past practices), brokerage commissions, legal, design and other professional fees and costs, in each case, to the extent the landlord is responsible for the payment of such cost or expense under the relevant Lease or any other agreement relating to such Lease due in connection with the commencement of the term of the Lease, or in the case of leasing and brokerage commissions, to the extent payable to TTC pursuant to a management agreement or to a third-party broker pursuant to a brokerage agreement.
10.13 | Intentionally Omitted. |
10.14 | Xxx Xxxxx Sublease. |
Seller shall receive a credit for a portion of the monthly rent it paid for the month in which the Closing relating to the Shopping Center occurs based upon the number of days in such month after the Proration Date and the total number of days in such month.
10.15 | Survival. |
The terms of this Article X shall survive the Closing for a period of two (2) years from the Final Adjustment Date; provided if any dispute exists, it shall survive until such dispute is finally resolved.
ARTICLE XI
DEFAULT
11.1 | Default by Purchaser. |
If Purchaser is in default of its obligations hereunder to consummate the purchase of the Property in accordance with the material terms of this Agreement after notice and three (3) Business Days’ opportunity to cure, then Seller will be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser and Escrow Agent after the expiration of the cure period, and receive the Deposit as liquidated damages for the breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.1, will limit the rights of Seller and liability of Purchaser following the Closing under (i) any indemnity expressly provided by Purchaser under this Agreement that survives the Closing or termination of this Agreement; (ii) any of the documents and instruments executed by Purchaser and delivered to Seller pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in connection with the Closing, and (iii) any actions commenced after the Closing with respect to any obligation or representation of Purchaser, which, in each case, by the terms of this Agreement survives Closing or the termination of this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, (i) nothing contained herein shall limit Seller’s rights and remedies if Purchaser is in default of any of its other pre-Closing obligations, and (ii) Seller shall not have the right of specific performance to require Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder.
THE PARTIES REALIZE THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICABLE, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO ASCERTAIN WITH ANY DEGREE OF CERTAINTY PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES WHICH WOULD BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IN THE EVENT OF PURCHASER’S DEFAULT OR FAILURE TO PERFORM AT CLOSING WHEN OBLIGATED TO DO SO UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES, HAVING MADE A DILIGENT ENDEAVOR TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL COMPENSATORY DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT OF PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO CONSUMMATE THE PURCHASE OF THE SHOPPING CENTER AT CLOSING WHEN OBLIGATED TO DO SO UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, HEREBY AGREE THAT THE REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SAID DAMAGES IS THE SUM EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT (THE “LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AMOUNT”). THEREFORE, IN THE EVENT OF PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO CONSUMMATE THE PURCHASE OF THE SHOPPING CENTER AT CLOSING WHEN OBLIGATED TO DO SO UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AMOUNT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED
BY THE PARTIES AS THE AMOUNT OF THE MONETARY DAMAGES SELLER WILL SUFFER BASED UPON PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO CONSUMMATE THE PURCHASE OF THE SHOPPING CENTER AT CLOSING WHEN OBLIGATED TO DO SO UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER NO OTHER DAMAGES FROM PURCHASER BASED UPON PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO PERFORM AT CLOSING WHEN OBLIGATED TO DO SO UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. BY INITIALING BELOW, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS RELATING TO LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER SEEK SATISFACTION FOR ANY OBLIGATION FROM ANY PARTNERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES OF PURCHASER NOR SHALL ANY OF THE FOREGOING HAVE ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY FOR ANY SUCH OBLIGATIONS OF PURCHASER.

11.2 | Default by Seller. |
(a)In the event that breaches shall have occurred prior to Closing as described in Sections 4.1(a) and/or 4.1(b), and the aggregate Purchaser’s Losses thereunder do not or are not reasonably expected to exceed the Materiality Threshold, then if Purchaser’s Losses exceed or are reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, One Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand Dollars ($165,000.00), Seller shall be obligated to provide Purchaser with a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount equal to the difference between the aggregate Purchaser’s Losses and One Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand Dollars ($165,000.00), as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement as a result of Sections 4.1(a) or 4.1(b).

Escrow Agent shall invest such Escrow Funds in a segregated, interest-bearing account at Comerica Bank.

(b)At such time as Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser or Seller, or both, setting forth the identity of the party to whom such Escrow Funds (or portions thereof) are to be disbursed and further setting forth the specific section or paragraph of the Agreement pursuant to which the disbursement of such Escrow Funds (or portions thereof) is being requested, Escrow Agent shall disburse such Escrow Funds pursuant to such notice; provided, however, that if such notice is given by either Purchaser or Seller, but not both, Escrow Agent shall (i) promptly notify the other party (either Purchaser or Seller as the case may be) that Escrow Agent has received a request for disbursement, and (ii) withhold disbursement of such Escrow Funds for a period of ten (10) days after the other party’s receipt of such notice of disbursement from Escrow Agent and if Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser or Seller within said ten (10) day period which notice countermands the earlier notice of disbursement (an “Objection Notice”), then Escrow Agent shall withhold such disbursement until both Purchaser and Seller can agree upon a disbursement of such Escrow Funds. If Escrow Agent does not timely receive an Objection Notice, Escrow Agent shall comply with the notice of disbursement it received. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree to send to the other, pursuant to Section 15.5 below, a duplicate copy of any written notice sent to Escrow Agent requesting any such disbursement or countermanding a request for disbursement.
(c)In performing any of its duties hereunder, Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability to anyone for any damages, losses, or expenses, except for gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of trust, and it shall accordingly not incur any such liability with respect to (i) any action taken or omitted in good faith upon advice of its legal counsel given with respect to any questions relating to the duties and responsibilities of Escrow Agent under this Agreement, or (ii) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including any written notice or instruction provided for in this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons, and to conform with the provisions of this Agreement. If Escrow Agent, acting reasonably, is in doubt as to whether a disbursement may be made hereunder, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to withhold disbursement until it is in receipt of joint instructions from Purchaser and Seller or a final non-appealable court order directing disbursement.
(d)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.1(b) above, in the event that Escrow Agent has not disbursed the Escrow Funds on or before ten (10) days after the Closing or in the event of a dispute between Purchaser and Seller which is sufficient as determined by Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, to justify its doing so, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to tender into the registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction the Escrow Funds, together with such legal pleadings as it may deem appropriate, and thereupon be discharged from all further duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any such legal action may be brought in a federal or state court in Michigan or, if is such courts do not have jurisdiction as to the parties or matters involved then such court as Escrow Agent shall determine to have jurisdiction thereof.

15.6 | Assignment. |
Except as expressly set forth below or in Section 15.19, neither Purchaser nor Seller will assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder without the other parties’ prior written consent, which may be withheld in such party’s sole and absolute discretion, and any attempted assignment or transfer without such party’s consent will be null and void ab initio and of no effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign this Agreement (without any requirement that consent of Seller be obtained) on or prior to the Closing to one or more entities that are directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with Purchaser (“Affiliated Entities”) and designate such entities to take title to the Shopping Center and the other related Property as Purchaser at Closing, subject to the following conditions: (a) each such assignment shall be effective on or prior to the Closing Date, (b) each such assignment shall be on the form attached hereto as Exhibit R, and provides for the assumption, for the benefit of Seller as third-party beneficiaries, of all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Shopping Center, (c) each such assignee shall have assumed any and all obligations and liabilities of Purchaser with respect to such assignee’s Shopping Center under this Agreement, and following such assumption, assigning Purchaser shall cease to
be liable hereunder with respect to its obligations under this Agreement relating to the Shopping Center and the Property, and (d) Purchaser shall provide Seller, at least five (5) Business Days’ prior to the Closing Date, with written notice of such proposed assignment and executed copies of such assignment and, upon request, reasonable evidence of Purchaser’s compliance with this Section 15.6. Any assignment which fails to meet the criteria of this Section 15.6 or to which Seller have not otherwise consented shall be void and of no force or effect. Purchaser shall deliver to Seller prior to Closing, and as a condition to the effectiveness of any such assignment, such supporting evidence of the foregoing as is reasonably required by Seller. From and after the date of assignment permitted by Purchaser hereunder, such assignee(s) shall be deemed to be “Purchaser” for all purposes of this Agreement, the Closing Documents and the Effective Date Letter.
15.7 | Further Assurances. |
Purchaser and Seller hereby agree, from time to time, to (a) complete, execute and deliver to the appropriate governmental authorities any returns, affidavits or other instruments that may be required with respect to any transfer, gains, sales, stamps and similar taxes, if any, arising out of this transaction and (b) complete, execute and deliver such reasonable documents and instruments and to take such reasonable actions as such other party may reasonably deem necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 15.7 shall be deemed to modify the conditions precedent to the performance of the respective obligations of Purchaser and Seller hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or create any new obligation hereunder. The provisions of this Section 15.7 shall survive the Closing.
15.8 | Governing Law. |
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan.
15.9 | Offer Only. |
This Agreement will not constitute a binding agreement by and between the parties hereto until such time as this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each party hereto.
15.10 | Counterparts. |
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. The signature of a party to any counterpart may be removed and attached to any other counterpart. Any counterpart to which the signatures of all parties are attached shall constitute an original of this Agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as personal delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
15.11 | Severability. |
If any portion of this Agreement becomes or is held to be illegal, null or void or against public policy, for any reason, the remaining portions of this Agreement will not be affected thereby and will remain in force and effect to the fullest extent permissible by law and the parties hereto shall amend or substitute for such illegal, null, void or unenforceable provision so as to produce as nearly as possible the rights and obligations previously intended by the parties without renegotiation of any material terms and conditions stipulated herein.
15.12 | No Waiver. |
No waiver by Purchaser or Seller of a breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement by the other party will be construed or held to be a waiver of any succeeding or preceding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. No waiver of any default by Purchaser or Seller under this Agreement will be implied from any omission by the other party to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect a default other than as specified in such waiver. The consent or approval by Purchaser or Seller to or of any act by the other party requiring the consent or approval of the first party will not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary such party’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar acts by the other party.
15.13 | Limitation of Liability. |
If Purchaser becomes aware after Closing of any breach and/or violation of Seller’s Representations or Seller’s obligations or covenants herein, or Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth herein, or in any Closing Document or in any other document or instrument executed by Seller pursuant hereto or in connection herewith (including the Effective Date Letter) for which Seller would or could become liable to Purchaser hereunder, then, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in the Closing Documents or in any other document or instrument executed by Seller pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, but subject to the remaining sentences of this Section, in no event shall Seller be liable for any special, consequential, speculative, punitive or similar damages (unless actually paid by Purchaser as a result of a claim by a third party), nor shall all of the Seller’s Liability (exclusive of Seller’s attorney’s fees) in any such event or events exceed in the aggregate an amount equal to the Materiality Threshold, as the same shall be reduced by the amount of any credits or payments to Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof (the “Seller’s Maximum Liability”), and no Claim by Purchaser may be made based upon any such Claim unless and until Purchaser’s Claims are for an aggregate amount in excess of One Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand Dollars ($165,000.00), as the same shall be reduced by the amount of Uncredited Purchaser Losses (the “Liability Basket”), in which event the Seller’s Liability respecting any final judgment with respect to such Claim(s) shall be for the amount thereof less the Liability Basket, subject to Seller’s Maximum Liability. Seller hereby covenants and agrees that it will remain in existence and not dissolve during the Survival Period (as hereinafter defined). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 15.13, Claims made by Purchaser with respect to the following matters shall not be subject to the Liability Basket or to the Seller’s Maximum Liability: (i) a breach of the Seller’s representations contained in Section 12.1(a)-(d) and (p), (ii) a breach of Seller’s FIRPTA affidavit, (iii) the indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 12.6 hereof, (iv) the right to receive proration credits, reimbursements or other adjustments in accordance with Article X, (v) the indemnification obligations of Seller with respect to brokers and brokerage fees, as set forth in Section 15.3 hereof, (vi) the indemnification obligations of Seller with respect to 1031 exchanges, as set forth in Section 15.19 hereof, (vii) the failure by Seller to deliver or assign casualty and/or condemnation proceeds to Purchaser as expressly provided for in this Agreement, (viii) the failure by Seller to pay closing costs as set forth in Section 10.1 hereof, (ix) the indemnification obligations of Seller (and their affiliates’) with respect to title matters, as set forth in Sections 7.3, 7.4, 7.5 and 7.6 hereof, (x) any costs incurred by Purchaser under Section 10.9 hereof in connection with the return of misapplied Security Deposits, (xi) the indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 15.22 hereof, (xii) any indemnification obligation of Seller in Section 4.1(f)(iv) hereof, (xiii) any untrue matters in a Seller Estoppel, (xiv) intentionally omitted, (xv) breach of the obligations of Seller under Section 9.12, Section 9.14 and/or Section 9.15, (xvi) intentionally omitted, (xvii) breach by Seller of Section 4 of
the Effective Date Letter, and (xviii) the failure by Seller to pay the costs in Section 15.23. The provisions of this Section 15.13 shall survive the Closing indefinitely.
15.14 | Waiver of Jury Trial. |
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
15.15 | Successors and Assigns. |
Subject to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, each and all of the covenants and conditions of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and will be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.

15.16 | No Partnership or Joint Venture. |
Neither Purchaser nor Seller will, by virtue of this Agreement, in any way or for any reason be deemed to have become a partner of the other in the conduct of its business or otherwise, or a joint venturer. In addition, by virtue of this Agreement there shall not be deemed to have occurred a merger of any joint enterprise between Purchaser and Seller.
15.17 | No Recordation. |
Seller and Purchaser each agree that neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or notice hereof shall be recorded.
15.18 | 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 Purchaser 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 as set forth opposite Seller’s signature to this Agreement.

Purchaser agrees that, at Seller’s sole election, this transaction or any portion thereof may be structured as one or more separate exchanges (including deferred exchanges) of like-kind properties under Section 1031 of the Code, and the regulations and proposed regulations thereunder, provided that (i) Seller shall effect each exchange through (A) an assignment of its or their rights under this Agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller) to a “qualified intermediary” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(iii)), and/or (B) the transfer of the Shopping Center to an “exchange accommodation titleholder” within the meaning of Revenue Procedure 2000-37, 0000-0 X.X. 000, (xx) the Closing shall not be delayed by reason of any exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of any exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to Seller’s obligations under this Agreement; (iii) Purchaser shall not be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating any such exchange; (iv) Purchaser shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the replacement property; (v) Seller shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by Purchaser had Seller not consummated the sale through an exchange; and (vi) Seller shall, and hereby does, fully indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Purchaser from, any loss, cost, damages, liability, claim, proceeding, cause of action, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses, and disbursements) of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of, connected with, or in any manner related to such exchange that would not otherwise have been incurred by the Purchaser had Seller not consummated such sale through an exchange under Section 1031 of the Code and such obligation shall survive the Closing indefinitely. Purchaser shall not by this Agreement or acquiescence to any exchange (a) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or (b) be responsible for compliance with, or be deemed to have warranted to Seller that such exchange in fact complies with, Section 1031 of the Code. Purchaser agrees that if Seller wishes to make such election, it must do so prior to the Closing Date.

The term “Survival Period” shall also apply to any longer or shorter survival periods expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that any Claim with respect to the truth, accuracy or completeness of representations and warranties in this Agreement or a breach of any covenants or obligations contained herein shall be made, if at all, by a written notice on or before the end of the Survival Period or be forever barred. If a Claim is timely made within the Survival Period, any lawsuit based upon such Claim must be commenced within one hundred eighty (180) days after notice of the Claim is given or such Claim shall
forever be barred, and once timely made, the Survival Period shall be extended until finally resolved, including all appeals. The provisions of this Section 15.20 will survive the Closing and/or termination of this Agreement indefinitely.

LIMITED JOINDER (this “Joinder”)
The Taubman Realty Group Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“Taubman”), hereby joins in the execution of this Agreement for the sole purpose of being personally liable and responsible after Closing for, and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Purchaser the full and faithful payment and performance by each Seller and TRG Land (collectively, the “Taubman Parties”) of all of the obligations of the Taubman Parties to Purchaser under this Agreement, the Effective Date Letter and the Closing Documents that are required to be performed after Closing or prior to Closing with respect to indemnities which Taubman expressly agrees to give or obligations which are expressly covered in this Agreement by this Joinder, but, in each case, only to the extent of a Taubman Party’s obligations under this Agreement, the Effective Date Letter and the Closing Documents (the “Taubman Guaranty Obligations”). For the avoidance of doubt, capitalized terms used in this Joinder that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase and Sale Agreement by and among the Taubman Parties and Purchaser to which this Joinder is attached.
In connection with this Joinder, Taubman hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of the following defenses:
1. Any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any person or entity, or revocation hereof by any person or entity, or the failure of Purchaser to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy, or any other proceeding) of a Taubman Party;
2. Diligence, presentment, notice of acceptance, notice of dishonor, notice of default, notice of presentment, or demand for payment of or performance of obligations guaranteed under this Joinder and other suretyship defenses generally;
3. Protest and notice of dishonor or of default to Taubman or to any other person or entity with respect to the performance of obligations guaranteed under this Joinder;
4. Any action required by any statute to be taken against a Taubman Party or Taubman;
5. The dissolution or termination of the existence of a Taubman Party;
6. The voluntary or involuntary liquidation, sale, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a Taubman Party;
7. The voluntary or involuntary receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, assignment, composition, or readjustment of, or any similar proceeding affecting, a Taubman Party or any the Taubman Parties’ assets; and
8. All rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Purchaser, even though that election of remedies has destroyed Taubman’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against a Taubman Party.
The liability of Taubman hereunder shall in no way be affected, diminished or released by any extension of time or forbearance that may be granted by Purchaser to a Taubman Party or by the acceptance by Purchaser of additional security for performance of this Agreement or the Closing Documents or any release, substitution or changes in any such security, or by any modifications, amendments or extensions of the this Agreement or the Closing Documents agreed upon by each Taubman Party and Purchaser.
Purchaser may enforce this Joinder against Taubman without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other remedy or any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of
having recourse to any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement or the Closing Documents, and without the necessity of proceeding against any Taubman Party. This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely of collection. The obligations of Taubman hereunder are absolute, primary, unconditional and irrevocable obligations, enforceable by Purchaser at Purchaser’s election, simultaneously with or after proceeding against a Taubman Party or without the necessity of any suit or proceedings against a Taubman Party, and in any event, without the necessity of any notice of non-payment, non-performance or non-observance, or of any notice of acceptance of this Joinder or any other notice or demand to which Taubman might otherwise be entitled or that may be required to preserve any rights against Taubman, all of which Taubman expressly waives.
Taubman’s liability under this Joinder may be enforced in full or in part, from time to time, after nonpayment or nonperformance of any of the Taubman Guaranty Obligations by a Taubman Party, in each case without requiring Purchaser to resort to any other person or entity, including, without limitation, any Taubman Party, or any other right, remedy or collateral. In the event of rescission of, or Purchaser is obligated to return, all or any portion of any payment of the Taubman Guaranty Obligations under applicable law, this Joinder shall remain in effect as to such returned payments.
If an action is brought to enforce this Joinder, the prevailing party shall pay to the other party on demand any and all expenses paid or incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such action, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.
Taubman represents and warrants that (i) it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Joinder and to perform all obligations required of it hereunder, (ii) the execution and delivery by the signer on behalf of Taubman, and the performance by Taubman of its obligations hereunder, has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action by Taubman, and (iii) this Joinder constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of Taubman, enforceable against Taubman in accordance with its terms.
Taubman may not assign its respective rights or delegate its respective duties under this Joinder without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

FORM OF FIRPTA CERTIFICATION
NON-FOREIGN PERSON CERTIFICATION
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provides that a transferee of a United States real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For United States tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has title to a United States real property interest) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform the transferee, ____________________________, a __________________________________, that withholding of tax is not required upon the undersigned transferor’s disposition of a United States real property interest, the transferor hereby certifies the following:
1. | The transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Code and the Treasury Regulations); |
2. | The transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulations §1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii). |
3. | The transferor’s U. S. employer identification number is _________________; and |
4. | The transferor’s office address is c/o The Taubman Company LLC, 000 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000. |
The transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of the undersigned transferor.
