consideration for
-3-

the Property will be the following, payable by Buyer to Seller as follows:
(a) Buyer shall deliver to Seller or Seller's designee a
number of common shares, without par value, of Buyer ("Common Shares") issued to
Seller (or its designee) computed as follows:
(i) if the Closing Share Price is greater than
or equal to 106% of the Average Share Price,
the number of Common Shares to be issued and
delivered shall be equal to ninety nine
percent (99%) of the Appraised Value of the
Property multiplied by 1.06 and divided by
the Closing Share Price;
(ii) if the Closing Share Price is less than or
equal to the Average Share Price, the number
of Common Shares to be issued and delivered
shall be equal to ninety nine percent (99%)
of the Appraised Value of the Property
divided by the Closing Share Price; or
(iii) if the Closing Share Price is
greater than the Average Share Price
but less than 106% of the Average
Share Price, the number of Common
Shares to be issued shall be equal
to ninety nine percent (99%) of the
Appraised Value of the Property
divided by the Average Share Price.
(b) One percent (1%) of the Appraised Value deposited in escrow by
Buyer on or before the Closing Date (defined below) in immediately available
funds (the "Cash Payment").
For purposes of this Agreement:
(A) Appraised Value shall mean an amount equal to Thirteen Million

shall be entitled to receive a cash payment therefor in an amount equal to the
value (determined with reference to the closing price of Common Shares as
reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape on the last full Trading

or employees of the Title Company in charge of the escrow. Each party shall
execute such documentation governing the Xxxxxxx Money Escrow that reflects the
relevant provisions of this Agreement and as may otherwise be required by the
escrow agent, including reasonable standard form escrow conditions. The Xxxxxxx
Money Deposit shall be deposited in an interest bearing account as instructed by
Buyer and any interest earned shall be added to the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit. In
the event that the parties proceed to the Closing, then the Xxxxxxx Money
Deposit, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be applied towards the
Cash Payment. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 11 of this
Agreement, upon the termination of this Agreement, the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit,
together with all interest earned thereon, shall be returned
-5-

by the Title Company to Buyer. Seller acknowledges that it has disclosed to
Buyer any legal conditions or requirements, imposed by law or contract upon its

responsibility for ensuring the written provisions of the agreement governing
such Xxxxxxx Money Escrow complies with any such requirements as they apply to

with the standard general exceptions deleted (or, with Buyer's
reasonable approval, insured over), subject to rights under the Tenant
Leases, and with such endorsements as Buyer may reasonably require,
including, without limitation, owner's comprehensive, survey, access,
tax parcel, utilities and contiguity endorsements (provided
-12-
16
that Buyer pay the costs of all such endorsements), in the amount of
the total consideration paid by Buyer to Seller for the Property (the
"Title Policy") issued by the Title Company, as assurance that upon
Closing, the Buyer holds and will hold good, valid and insurable title
in fee simple absolute to the Property including all rights, privileges
and easements appurtenant to the Property free and clear of all
encumbrances whatsoever, except the following (collectively, the
"Permitted Exceptions"):
(i) zoning ordinances and regulations; provided the
same do not interfere with the use of the Property as an
apartment complex;
(ii) general real estate taxes, which are a lien but
are not yet past due or delinquent at the Closing Date;
(iii) rights of tenants under Tenant Leases; and
(iv) such easements, covenants, conditions,
reservations and restrictions of record disclosed in Schedule
B of Seller's existing Title Policy (the "Approved Title
Report") and other matters disclosed to and approved by Buyer,
in writing, unless otherwise waived or deemed waived by Buyer
as hereinafter provided.
(b) Seller represents, warrants and covenants to Buyer that
upon the Closing Date Buyer will have complete possession of the
Property, subject only to the interests of the tenants under the Tenant
Leases and the other Permitted Exceptions.
(c) Buyer shall obtain, as promptly as reasonably practicable
after the execution of this Agreement a current commitment issued by
the Title Company to issue the Title Policy (the "Title Commitment")
which updates the Approved Title Report with copies of all instruments
referred to as exceptions or conditions in the Title Commitment that
were not set forth in the Approved Title Report, setting forth all real
estate taxes and special assessments, the state of record title to the
Property and all exceptions to, or encumbrances upon, title to the
Property which would appear in the Title Policy. Buyer shall have until
-13-
17
the end of the Due Diligence Period (as defined in Section 10 of this
Agreement) to review such items and to give notice to Seller of such
objections as Buyer may have to any matters set forth in the Title
Commitment or survey which were not referenced in the Approved Title
Report. Seller understands and agrees that prior to the expiration of
the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may deliver to Seller an objection
letter or objection letters at any time during the Due Diligence Period
and Seller agrees that any such delivery or deliveries shall not be
construed in any way to limit or restrict Buyer's right to deliver
additional objections to Seller at any time during Due Diligence
Period. If Buyer timely (i.e during the Due Diligence Period) objects
to any special assessments, defects or encumbrances, Seller shall have
until the end of the Due Diligence Period to have such exceptions
cured, either by the removal of such exceptions or by the procurement
of title insurance endorsements or other resolution satisfactory to
Buyer providing coverage against loss or damage as a result of such
exceptions. If Seller shall not cure such defects or encumbrances to
Buyer's satisfaction by the end of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer, at
its option, may (i) terminate this Agreement upon written notice of
termination to Seller in accordance with Section 10 of this Agreement,
in which event neither party shall thereafter have any liability to the
other (except as to matters which, under any other provision of this
Agreement are expressly stated to survive a termination of this
Agreement), and all funds previously paid or deposited by Buyer,
including all accrued interest, shall be returned to Buyer, or (ii)
waive its objection to the defects or encumbrances and proceed to the
Closing in which event all such waived defects or encumbrances shall be
deemed to be Permitted Exceptions hereunder. Notwithstanding the above,
any defects in the nature of consensual liens affirmatively granted by
Seller or non-consensual monetary liens which do not exceed
-14-
18
Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in the aggregate that can be
released by payment of the underlying obligation shall be removed,
bonded or title insured over by Seller and if not so removed, bonded or
title insured over by the Closing then the Appraised Value shall be
reduced by an amount sufficient to satisfy such obligations. Buyer
shall conclusively be deemed to have waived all objections to any title
or survey defect, encumbrance or exception reflected or referenced in
the Title Commitment or survey as to which Buyer fails to deliver to
Seller a written objection by the end of the Due Diligence Period, and
all such matters shall thereafter be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions
for purposes of this Agreement.

have changed in any material respect from the condition in
existence on the last day of the Due Diligence Period (as
hereafter defined) and the financial condition of the Property

-17-
21
(c) Since the Portfolio Properties constitute substantially
all of the assets of MIG Residential REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation
("MIG REIT"), through MIG REIT's ownership of all the shares of Seller
and the Other Owners, MIG REIT's Board of Directors has a fiduciary
obligation to the holders of MIG REIT stock to maximize the current and
long term value of their shares in MIG REIT. Accordingly, it is agreed
that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
Seller shall have the right (the "Fiduciary Out") to terminate this
Agreement and cancel the Xxxxxxx Money Escrow on the following terms
and conditions:
(i) During the period between the date hereof and the
Schedule Closing Date, MIG REIT shall be entitled to provide
financial information about the Portfolio Properties to third
parties who request such information and sign a
confidentiality agreement substantially similar to the one
signed by Buyer. The parties intend that this Section 8(c)
will provide MIG REIT with an opportunity to sell the
Portfolio Properties on the following basis. After the date
hereof, MIG REIT shall cease or cause to cease all active
marketing of the Portfolio Properties by MIG REIT (or others
acting on behalf of MIG REIT) through the use of brokers,
financial advisors, advertising or other forms of active
solicitation. MIG REIT shall, however, be entitled to respond
to inquiries from third parties ("Third Party Buyers") to whom
information has been supplied previously, or who may learn of
the transaction contemplated in this Agreement through public
disclosure thereof.
(ii) The Third Party Buyers shall be entitled to make
offers (the "Third Party Officers") to purchase all of the
Portfolio Properties.
(iii) If MIG REIT's Committee of Independent
Directors recommends that any Third Party Offer should be
presented to MIG REIT's Board of Directors, Seller shall
provide Buyer with a complete copy of any Third Party Offer(s)
so presented promptly after the Board of Directors has had an
opportunity to review same.
(iv) If, in the opinion of MIG REIT's Board of
Directors, the terms of a Third Party Offer are superior to
the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the
Portfolio Purchase Agreements, in that MIG REIT's shareholders
would realize more value as a result of the acceptance of such
Third Party Offer and, as a result, in the opinion of MIG
REIT's legal counsel, MIG REIT's directors would have a
fiduciary duty to accept such Third Party Offer, Seller shall
have the right to send Buyer a written notice (the "Fiduciary
Out Notice") to such effect. Seller's
-18-
22
sending the Fiduciary Out Notice to Buyer shall constitute an
election by Seller to terminate this Agreement and cancel the
Xxxxxxx Money Escrow, subject to subsection (v) below.
(v) If a Fiduciary Out Notice is sent to Buyer, Buyer
shall have the right to elect, by giving Seller written notice
thereof within ten (10) business days after such Fiduciary Out
Notice is sent to Buyer, to either: (A) do nothing, or (B)
propose terms and conditions for Buyer to purchase the
Property which are at least as advantageous to Seller as the
terms and conditions set forth in such Fiduciary Out Notice,
which proposed terms and conditions shall include a total
purchase price for all the Portfolio Properties at least equal
to the total purchase price proposed by the Third Party Buyer
named in such Fiduciary Out Notices, plus $250,000. If Buyer
elects to do nothing, Seller shall have no obligation to sell
the Property to Buyer, but Buyer shall have the right to be
paid the Break-Up Fee (as defined below) on the same
contingent basis specified in subsection (vii)(B) below. If
Buyer proposes such new terms and conditions which are
accepted by Seller, in Seller's role and absolute discretion,
the Break-Up Fee shall not be payable to Buyer and the parties
shall proceed with and complete the purchase and sale of the
Property in accordance therewith. If Buyer elects to do
nothing, or if Seller does not accept such new terms and
conditions proposed by Buyer, Seller shall give written notice
to Buyer and the Title Company that this Agreement is
terminated and the Xxxxxxx Money Escrow is canceled (the
"Termination Notice").
(vi) If Seller sends the Termination Notice, the
Title Company shall automatically and immediately without
further instruction from Seller to Buyer, release the Xxxxxxx
Money Deposit, plus accrued interest, to Buyer.
(vii) If Seller sends the Termination Notice, then
Seller shall be obligated to pay to Buyer an all-inclusive fee
(the "Break-Up Fee") for the purpose of compensating Buyer for
the loss of the opportunity to purchase the Property and
reimbursing Buyer for all out-of-pocket costs incurred by
Buyer in the course of its due diligence review. The Break-Up
Fee shall be three percent (3%) of the Appraised Value and
shall be paid to Buyer simultaneously with the delivery of the
Termination Notice, by wire transfer of immediately available
federal funds.
UPON THE SENDING OF THE TERMINATION NOTICE, THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL BE TERMINATED AND THE BREAK-UP FEE SHALL BE PAID TO
BUYER AS PROVIDED ABOVE AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BUYER'S ACTUAL DAMAGES AS A RESULT OF A
TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 8(c)
WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE.
THEREFORE, BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW, THE PARTIES
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE BREAK-UP FEE HAS BEEN AGREED UPON, AFTER
NEGOTIATION, AS THE PARTIES' REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF BUYER'S
DAMAGES AND AS BUYER'S EXCLUSIVE
-19-

10. DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that
prior to the execution of this Agreement, Buyer has received from Seller or
Seller has made available to Buyer true and correct copies of all of the
information regarding the Property which is described on EXHIBIT K attached
hereto and made a part hereof (the "Approved Due Diligence Materials") and that
Buyer has approved the Approved Due Diligence Materials and all information
contained therein. For a period of thirty (30) days following execution of this
Agreement (the "Due Diligence Period"), Buyer shall be permitted to conduct its
own limited inspections of the Property for the sole purposes of updating the
Approved Due Diligence Materials, with respect to: (i) obtaining a so-called
"Phase I Environmental Assessment" of the Property, (ii) obtaining structural
and engineering assessments of the Property, (iii) obtaining the Title
Commitment referenced in Section
-22-
26
7 hereof and (iv) updating or upgrading the survey referenced on EXHIBIT K (the
"Updated Due Diligence"). Seller shall grant reasonable access to Buyer and its
representatives to the Property for the purpose of conducting the Updated Due
Diligence. Seller shall have the right to coordinate and accompany Buyer on any
of such inspections. Any and all inspections, examinations, analyses and audits
deemed necessary by Buyer shall be performed at Buyer's expense and shall not
physically damage the Property. Buyer shall promptly and completely repair and
restore any and all damage to the Property that may be caused by, or may occur
in connection with or as a result of, any inspection, investigation, audit, test
or visit to the Property by Buyer, its employees, and authorized agents and
consultants. Buyer shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Seller and its
agents, employees and representatives harmless from and against any and all
loss, cost, claim, liability, damage or expense (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and expenses) arising out of physical damages or injuries to
persons or property caused by Buyer's inspections, investigations, audits, tests
or visits to the Property. Buyer's restoration and indemnification obligations
set forth in this Section shall survive the Closing or termination of this
Agreement.
Without limiting the rights accorded to Buyer pursuant to
Section 8 hereof, at any time during or at the end of the Due Diligence Period,
Buyer, in the event that Buyer's Updated Due Diligence discloses any information
which is not contained in the Approved Due Diligence Materials and which could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the value of the
Property ("A Material Adverse Condition"), then, Buyer, in Buyer's sole
discretion, may terminate this Agreement (by giving notice of such termination
to Seller, including Buyer's specific reasons therefor). Buyer shall notify
Seller in writing either during or at the end of the Due Diligence Period with
respect to whether or not Buyer has discovered any such Material Adverse
Condition. If Buyer's written notice to Seller indicates that the Updated Due
Diligence has not
-23-
27
disclosed a Material Adverse Condition, then the parties shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, proceed to the Closing. If
Buyer's written notice to Seller indicates that the Updated Due Diligence has
disclosed a Material Adverse Condition, then this Agreement shall terminate and
the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit (including all interest earned thereon) shall be
returned to Buyer. Upon termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to this
Section 10, neither party shall thereafter be under any further liability to the
other, except as to matters which this Agreement expressly states are to survive
a termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 10, if Buyer does not notify Seller by the end of the
Due Diligence Period with respect to whether or not the Updated Due Diligence
has disclosed a Material Adverse Condition, then Buyer shall be deemed to have
notified Seller that the Updated Due Diligence has not disclosed any Material
Adverse Condition.
11. CLOSING DATE. Unless the parties otherwise agree in
writing, the transactions contemplated hereby shall be closed through escrow
(the "Closing") on the date that is concurrent with the closing of the
transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement") by and among Buyer, MIG Realty Advisors, Inc. ("MIGRA") and
certain shareholders of MIGRA (the "Closing Date"), which Closing Date shall be
established through written notice given by Buyer to Seller and shall not be
later than ten (10) days after the end of the Due Diligence Period (the
"Scheduled Closing Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
Buyer determines that the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange
require its shareholders approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement or this Agreement, then Buyer shall have the right at any time up
until the Scheduled Closing Date, upon written notice to Seller, to extend the
Scheduled Closing Date in order to permit Buyer to obtain such shareholder
approval, to a date which is no later than (i) ninety (90) days after the date
of this
-24-
28
Agreement, if the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") informs Buyer that
it will not provide comments to its proxy statement or (ii) one hundred thirty
five days (135) after the date of this Agreement, if the SEC provides comments
to its proxy statement. After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer
shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement except pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 8(a), 13 or 14 of this Agreement. IF BUYER SHALL DEFAULT
IN ITS OBLIGATIONS TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY, THEN SELLER SHALL RECEIVE THE
XXXXXXX MONEY DEPOSIT (INCLUDING ALL INTEREST EARNED THEREON) AS LIQUIDATED
DAMAGES AND NEITHER PARTY SHALL THEREAFTER BE UNDER ANY FURTHER LIABILITY TO THE
OTHER, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO
THE PROVISIONS THAT EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE
PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT SELLER'S ACTUAL DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY
BUYER, WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE. THEREFORE, BY
PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE XXXXXXX MONEY
DEPOSIT (INCLUDING ALL INTEREST EARNED THEREON) HAS BEEN AGREED UPON, AFTER
NEGOTIATION, AS THE PARTIES' REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER'S DAMAGES AND AS
SELLER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BUYER, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, IN THE
EVENT OF A DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ON THE PART OF BUYER.
INITIALS: Seller_________ Buyer __________
12. PRORATIONS AND CLOSING COSTS. All prorations, adjustments
and final readings shall be made as of 11:59 pm of the day preceding the Closing
Date, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties (the "Adjustment
Date"), by the Title Company based on
-25-
29
information provided by the parties, as follows:
(a) Payments under any Project Contracts or Personal Property
Leases and fees for any transferable licenses and permits which are
assigned to Buyer, shall be prorated.
(b) General real estate taxes shall be prorated, using for
such purpose the rate and valuation shown on the last available tax
duplicate, but subject to further adjustment as provided below. If any
real estate taxes prorated at Closing or assessments paid by Seller (as
set forth below) are later increased for any reason whatsoever,
including, without limitation, the real estate taxes and assessments
shown on the later issued actual tax duplicate being greater than those
shown on the tax duplicate available at Closing or because of any
additions or corrections to the tax duplicate assessed by reason of
Buyer's acquisition of the Property, then Seller shall promptly pay all
such increases allocable to the period prior to the Closing and Seller
shall protect, indemnify, defend, and hold Buyer harmless from and
against all such real estate tax and assessment increases, which
obligations on the part of the Seller shall survive the Closing. If any
real estate taxes prorated at Closing or assessments paid by Seller (as
set forth below) are later decreased for any reason whatsoever,
including, without limitation, the real estate taxes and assessments
shown on the later issued actual tax duplicate being less than those
shown on the tax duplicate available at Closing or because of any
corrections to the tax duplicate assessed by reason of Buyer's
acquisition of the Property or because of any post-Closing reduction
in, or refund or rebate of, any taxes relating wholly or in part to a
period before the Closing, then Buyer shall promptly pay to Seller the
savings allocable to the period prior to the Closing (less any costs
incurred by Buyer to any unaffiliated third parties in connection with
obtaining the reduction of such tax xxxx), which obligation shall
survive the Closing. Any
-26-
30
special assessments that are a lien on the Property as of the date of
this Agreement shall be paid by Seller without proration. Any special
assessments that become a lien on the Property after the date of this
Agreement shall be paid as follows: Seller shall pay all installments
that are due and payable prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall pay
all installments that become due and payable on or after the Closing
Date.
(c) Collected rents shall be prorated based upon the total
rent roll payable for the month in which Closing occurs. In the event
that Buyer receives current rent from any tenants for the month in
which the Closing occurs, then Buyer shall deliver to Seller (outside
of escrow) the portion of such current rents attributable to periods
prior to the Adjustment Date. Additionally, in the event that any
tenant, who as of the Closing is delinquent in the rental payments due
Seller, delivers to Buyer a rent check in an amount in excess of the
rent due Buyer for the month for which such check is delivered, Buyer
shall allocate such excess first to pay reasonable outside collection
costs, if any, paid to unaffiliated third parties, then to pay rents
which become due after Closing, then pay remaining funds to Seller for
any rents delinquent prior to Closing and were due as of the date such
payment was received; provided, however, in no event shall Buyer be
obligated to collect delinquent rents on Seller's behalf.
(d) Final readings and final xxxxxxxx for utilities shall be
made as of the Adjustment Date. Seller shall pay all outstanding
amounts due as of such time, or such amounts shall be credited to Buyer
at Closing. If final readings and xxxxxxxx cannot be obtained prior to
Closing, the final bills, when received, shall be prorated as of the
Adjustment Date and the Title Company shall hold in escrow an amount
equal to 125% of the reasonably anticipated amount of such xxxxxxxx,
based upon the most recent available
-27-
31
xxxxxxxx for similar periods until
the Title Company shall have received notice
of payment of such bills, at which time any remaining amount being
withheld for such purpose shall be distributed to the Seller.
(e) Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for all deposits,
including security deposits, under the Tenant Leases which are not
delivered or assigned to Buyer at Closing.
(f) Seller shall pay in connection with this transaction the
following closing costs: (i) any state or local real or personal
property transfer taxes, documentary stamps, fees or other charges
relating to the transfer of the Property, (ii) the costs of the Title
Policy (other than the costs of the endorsements thereto) and (iii)
one-half of any escrow charges. Buyer shall pay in connection with this
transaction the following closing costs: (i) all recording fees, (ii)
the costs of the endorsements to the Title Policy and (iii) one-half of
any escrow charges. Each party shall pay its own attorneys' fees. All
closing costs allocable to Seller, including, without limitation, any
prorations to which Buyer may be entitled by reason of the foregoing
shall be credited against the balance of the Appraised Value to be paid
at Closing.
13. FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY. Seller agrees to promptly advise
Buyer in writing of any material damage to the Property. If all or any
substantial portion of the Property (i.e. 10% or more of the value) shall, prior
to the Closing, be damaged or destroyed by fire or any other cause, and such
damage shall not have been repaired or reconstructed prior to the Closing in a
good and workmanlike manner to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, Buyer may,
at Buyer's option: (a) remain obligated to perform this Agreement and receive
all insurance proceeds received by or payable to Seller as a result of such
damage or destruction plus an amount equal to any insurance policy deductible;
or (b) by written notice of termination given to Seller not later than thirty
(30)
-28-
32
days after Seller provides Buyer with written notice of such damage or
destruction, terminate this Agreement and receive any documents, instruments and
funds previously deposited or paid including the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit (together
with all interest earned thereon). If an unsubstantial portion of the Property
(i.e. 10% or less of the value) shall, prior to the Closing, be damaged or
destroyed by fire or any other cause and such damage shall not have been
repaired or reconstructed prior to the Closing in a good and workmanlike manner
to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, then Buyer shall be obligated to
proceed to close the transaction contemplated hereby, but shall receive from
Seller, on the Closing Date, an assignment of proceeds of the insurance payable
under Seller's insurance policy plus an amount equal to any insurance policy
deductible. Upon termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to this Section
13, neither party shall thereafter be under any further liability to the other,
except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.
14. CONDEMNATION AND EMINENT DOMAIN. If, prior to the Closing,
all or any portion of the Property shall be subjected to a taking, either total
or partial, by eminent domain, condemnation, or for any public or quasi-public
use, Buyer shall have the right to either (a) terminate this Agreement by giving
written notice of termination to Seller, in which event all funds and documents
deposited by Buyer and Seller shall be refunded or returned to the depositing
party and neither party shall thereafter be under any further liability to the
other and Buyer shall receive the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, or (b) proceed to close
this transaction in which case Seller shall assign to Buyer at Closing all of
the proceeds and/or awards from such condemnation action. Seller and Buyer each
agree to forward promptly to the other any notice of intent received pertaining
to a taking of all or a portion of the Property by way of condemnation, eminent
domain or similar procedure for a taking of the Property in connection with any
public or quasi-public use.
15. INDEMNIFICATION.
-29-
33
(a) Subject to Section 15(c) of this Agreement, Buyer shall
fully indemnify, protect, defend and hold Seller and its
representatives, successors and assigns harmless from and against any
and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, awards,
judgements, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with (i)
the Property or the ownership thereof or arising under, relating to or
concerning any of the Tenant Leases, Permits, Deposits, Personal
Property Leases, Project Contracts, Intangible Rights if such claims,
demands, losses, liabilities, damages or expenses first arise, accrue
or exist or relate to any period of time from or after the Closing
(except to the extent that such indemnification obligation would arise
directly as a result of the inaccuracy of any representation or
warranty made by Seller hereunder), or (ii) the inaccuracy or any
representation or warranty made by Buyer hereunder.
(b) Subject to Section 15(c) of this Agreement, Seller shall
fully indemnify, protect, defend and hold Buyer, its successors and
assigns harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses,
liabilities, damages, awards, judgements, penalties, and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) arising out of or
in connection with (i) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty
made by Seller hereunder, or (ii) the ownership of the Property prior
to the Closing (including, without limitation, any claim, demand, loss,
liability, damage, award, judgement, penalty or expense arising under,
relating to or concerning any of the Tenant Leases, Permits, Deposits,
Personal Property Leases, Project Contracts or the Intangible Rights),
but only if such claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages or
expenses first arose, accrued, existed or related to any period of time
before the Closing (except to the extent that such indemnification
obligation would arise directly as a result of the inaccuracy of any
representation made by Buyer hereunder).
-30-
34
(c) Notwithstanding anything in the preceding Sections 15(a)
and 15(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, any claim for
indemnification under clause (ii) of Section 15(a) or under Section
15(b) must be asserted in writing and with specificity by the date (the
"Claim Expiration Date") which for the matters referenced in Section
4(g) of this Agreement is six (6) years after the Closing Date and with
respect to the other provisions of this Agreement is three hundred
sixty five (365) days after the Closing Date, and any and all claims
not so asserted by the applicable Claim Expiration Date shall
automatically expire and be deemed to have been forever waived,
released and of no force or effect and (B) the total amounts
recoverable by Buyer against Seller or by Seller against Buyer with
respect to such matters, shall not exceed, in the aggregate, Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) plus attorneys' fees and expenses
incurred in enforcing the indemnification provisions of this Section 15
after the detailed written claim described above was delivered to the
indemnifying party and such party refused to pay or satisfy such claim.
Nothing in this Section 15(c) shall limit claims for the specific
enforcement of this Agreement.
16. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) This Agreement, including the Exhibits attached hereto,
shall be deemed to contain all of the terms and conditions agreed upon
with respect to the subject matter hereof, it being understood that
there are no outside representations or oral agreements.
(b) All notices, demands and the communications hereunder

(c) Seller and Buyer each represents and warrants to the other
that such party has had no dealing with any real estate broker or agent
so as to entitle such broker or agent to any commission in connection
with the sale of the Property to Buyer, which representations and
warranties shall survive the closing of the transactions contemplated
hereby. If for any reason any such commission shall become due, the
party who retained such broker shall pay any such commission and agrees
to indemnify and save the other party harmless from any
-33-
37
and all claims for any such commission and from any attorneys' fees and
litigation or other expenses relating to any such claim.
(d) This Agreement and the rights and duties hereunder may not
be assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer. This
Agreement and the rights and duties hereunder may not be assigned by
Buyer without the written consent of Seller; provided, that Buyer shall
have the right, without the consent of Seller, to designate a nominee
to take title to the Property on the Closing Date. This Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and permitted assigns.
(e) After the Closing, the parties shall execute and deliver
such further documents and instruments of conveyance, sale, assignment,
transfer, assumption or otherwise, and shall take or cause to be taken
such other or further action, as either party shall reasonably request
at any time or from time to time within the one hundred twenty (120)
days immediately following the Closing Date in order to effectuate the
terms and provisions of this Agreement.
(f) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State in which the Property is
situated.
(g) This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
(h) If the date for performance of any act under this
Agreement falls on a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, the date for
such performance shall automatically be extended to the first
succeeding business which is not a federal holiday.
(i) Whenever in this Agreement reference is made to "Seller's
Knowledge", "to
-34-
38
the best of Seller's Knowledge", "Seller's Actual Knowledge", "Actual
Knowledge of Seller" or "the Knowledge or Seller", or any similar term
or reference, it shall mean and be limited to the actual conscious
knowledge of Seller, without any investigation or inquiry.
(j) Buyer agrees to keep confidential any information that it
has or will obtain relating to the Property or Seller with respect to
the Property and will not knowingly disclose that information to any
person or entity, other than (i) its employees, attorneys, accountants,
consultants and contractors performing under this Agreement whom it
directs to treat such information confidentially or (ii) in connection
with the disclosures that it will be making in connection with the
filing of the Registration Rights Agreement or any other matters that
it is required to disclose in connection with its legal reporting
requirements or as otherwise required in accordance with applicable law
based upon the advise of its legal counsel, without the prior express
written consent of Seller; provided, however, that this provision shall
not apply to data that is in the public domain or is clearly not
confidential in nature. The provisions of this Section 17(j) shall
survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement. Buyer's
