period shall be deemed an election by Seller not to Remove such Title Objections. Any Title Objection that Seller elects in writing to Remove shall be deemed a Required Exception. If Seller elects not to Remove one or more Title Objections, then, within five (5) business days after Seller’s election (but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date), Buyer may elect in writing to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) waive such Title Objections and proceed to Closing. Failure of Buyer to respond in writing within such period shall be deemed an election by Buyer to waive such Title Objections and proceed to Closing.

|
(c)

If this Agreement is not terminated by Buyer in accordance with the provisions hereof, Seller shall, at Closing, Remove or cause to be Removed any Required Exceptions. Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy any Required Exceptions that exist as of the Closing Date, provided Seller shall cause the Title Company to Remove the same.

If Buyer fails to object in writing to any such proposed instrument within five (5) business days after receipt of the aforementioned notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the proposed instrument. Buyer’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to any such instrument that is proposed prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and does not create a monetary lien or encumbrance. Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be entitled to grant or withhold its consent with respect to any such instrument that is proposed between the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Closing.
4.3 Title Insurance. At Closing, the Title Company shall issue the Owner’s Title Policy to Buyer including the Special Endorsement, insuring that fee simple title to the Real Property is vested in Buyer subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. Buyer shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide such additional endorsements (or amendments) to the Owner’s Title Policy as Buyer may reasonably require, provided that (a) such additional endorsements (or amendments) shall be at no cost to, and shall impose no additional liability on, Seller, (b) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditioned upon Buyer’s ability to obtain such additional endorsements and, if Buyer is unable to obtain such additional endorsements, Buyer shall nevertheless be obligated to proceed to close the Transaction without reduction of or set off against the Purchase Price, and (c) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of Buyer’s request for such additional endorsements.

Rents not collected as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated at the time of Closing.
6.1.2 Other Revenues. Revenues from Property operations (other than Rents (which shall be prorated as provided in Subsection 6.1.1), security deposits (which will be apportioned as provided in Section 6.6), and pre-paid installments or other payments under Contracts (which shall be the sole property of Seller)) that are actually collected shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to all such revenues attributable to any period to but not including the Closing Date and Buyer shall be entitled to all such revenues attributable to any period on and after the Closing Date.
6.1.3 Post-Closing Collections. After Closing, Buyer shall make a good faith effort to collect any Rents or other revenues not collected as of the Closing Date on Seller’s behalf and to tender the same to Seller upon receipt; provided, however, that all Rents collected by Buyer on or after the Closing Date shall first be applied to all amounts due under the applicable Lease at the time of collection (i.e., current Rents and sums due Buyer as the current owner and landlord) with the balance (if any) payable to Seller, but only to the
16
extent of amounts delinquent and actually due Seller. Buyer shall not have an exclusive right to collect the sums due Seller under the Leases or other revenue due Seller and Seller hereby retains its rights to pursue claims against any tenant under the Leases or other party for sums due with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that with respect to any legal proceedings against any tenant under a Lease, Seller (a) shall be required to notify Buyer in writing of its intention to commence or pursue such legal proceedings; (b) shall only be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings after the date which is three (3) months after Closing; and (c) shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings against any tenant seeking eviction of such tenant or the termination of the underlying Lease. The terms of this Section 6.1.3 shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.
6.2 Reimbursable Lease Expenses. At Closing, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the Reimbursable Lease Expenses to the extent required by the terms of Article 14.

(a)
|
Seller shall be responsible for that portion of such taxes and assessments equal to (i) the total such taxes and assessments due and payable during the Closing Tax Year, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the Closing Tax Year prior to the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be 365; and
|
(b)
|
Buyer shall be responsible for that portion of such taxes and assessments equal to (i) the total such taxes and assessments due and payable during the Closing Tax Year, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the Closing Tax Year subsequent to and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be 365.
|
6.3.2 Insufficient Information. If, at Closing, the real property tax rate and assessments have not been set for the taxes and assessments due and payable during the Closing Tax Year, then the proration of such taxes shall be based upon the rate and assessments for the preceding Tax Year, and such proration shall be adjusted between Seller and Buyer after Closing upon presentation of written evidence that the actual taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year differ from the amounts used at Closing and in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.8.
17
6.3.3 Special Assessments. If there are any special assessments against the Property not billed with the real property taxes and prorated pursuant to Section 6.3.1 above, Seller shall pay all such installments of special assessments due and payable prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall pay all such installments of special assessments due and payable on and after the Closing Date; provided, however, that (a) if the owner of the Property has the election to pay any special assessment either immediately or under a payment plan with interest, Seller may elect to pay under a payment plan, which election shall be binding on Buyer; and (b) Seller shall not be required by the foregoing to pay any installments of special assessments which have not been confirmed or which relate to projects that have not been completed on the Commencement Date.
6.3.4 Tenant Reimbursements. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Article 6, Seller shall have no obligation to pay (and Buyer shall not receive a credit at Closing for) any real estate or personal property taxes or special assessments to the extent that Buyer is entitled after Closing to reimbursement of taxes and assessments, or the recovery of any increase in taxes and assessments, from the tenants under the Leases, regardless of whether Buyer actually collects such reimbursement or increased taxes and assessments from such tenants, it being understood and agreed by Buyer and Seller that (a) as between Buyer and Seller, Buyer shall be responsible for payment of all of such real estate or personal property taxes and assessments, and (b) the burden of collecting such reimbursements shall be solely on Buyer. Furthermore, Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any provision in any of the Leases to the contrary, the tax reimbursement payments to be paid by tenants of the Property during the Closing Tax Year are to be applied to pay the real estate taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year and, therefore, Buyer shall not receive a credit for any amounts due and payable by tenants of the Property prior to the Closing as real estate tax reimbursements.
6.3.5 Reassessment. In the event the Property has been assessed for property tax purposes at such rates as would result in reassessment (i.e., “escape assessment” or “roll-back taxes”) based upon the change in land usage or ownership of the Property on or after the Closing Date, Buyer hereby agrees to pay all such taxes and to indemnify and save Seller harmless from and against all Liabilities for such taxes. Such indemnity shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.
6.4 Other Property Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the Property shall be prorated as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Seller shall pay all utility charges and other operating expenses attributable to the Property to, but not including the Closing Date (except for those utility charges and operating expenses payable by tenants in accordance with the Leases) and Buyer shall pay all utility charges and other operating expenses attributable to the Property on or after the Closing Date. To the extent that the amount of actual consumption of any utility services is not determined prior to the Closing Date, a proration shall be made at Closing based on the last available reading and post-closing adjustments between Buyer and Seller shall be made within twenty (20) days of the date that actual consumption for such pre-closing period is determined, which obligation shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein. Seller shall not assign to Buyer any deposits which Seller has with any of the utility services or companies servicing the Property. Buyer shall arrange with such services and companies to have accounts opened in Buyer’s name beginning at 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this section, Seller shall
18
have no obligation to pay (and Buyer shall not receive a credit at Closing for) any operating expenses to the extent that Buyer is entitled after Closing to reimbursement of operating expenses, or the recovery of any increase in operating expenses, from the tenants under the Leases, regardless of whether Buyer actually collects such reimbursement or increased operating expenses from such tenants, it being understood and agreed by Buyer and Seller that (a) as between Buyer and Seller, Buyer shall be responsible for payment of all of such operating expenses, and (b) the burden of collecting such reimbursements shall be solely on Buyer.
6.5 Closing Costs. Buyer shall pay the following costs and expenses associated with the Transaction: (a) the incremental premiums charged by the Title Company for the ALTA extended coverage portion of the Owner’s Title Policy (including all endorsements), if Buyer elects to obtain same, (b) the cost of an ALTA Survey in the amount of $3,460, (c) all recording and filing charges in connection with the instrument by which Seller conveys the Property, (d) one half of all escrow or closing charges, (e) all sales taxes and similar charges, if any, applicable to the transfer of the Property to Buyer, (f) all of Buyer’s Due Diligence Costs (except as otherwise provided herein), including fees due its consultants and attorneys, and (g) all lenders’ fees related to any financing to be obtained by Buyer.

6.6 Cash Security Deposits. At Closing, Seller shall give Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price in the aggregate amount of any cash security deposits then held by Seller under the Leases.
6.7 Apportionment Credit. In the event the apportionments to be made at the Closing result in a credit balance (a) to Buyer, such sum shall be paid at the Closing by giving Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of such credit balance, or (b) to Seller, Buyer shall pay the amount thereof to Seller at the Closing by additional wire transfer of immediately available funds to Escrow Holder along with the balance of the Purchase Price.
6.8 Delayed Adjustment; Delivery of Operating and Other Financial Statements. If at any time following the Closing Date, the amount of an item listed in any section of this Article 6 shall prove to be incorrect (whether as a result of an error in calculation or a lack of complete and accurate information as of the Closing) or otherwise require adjustment as a result of any year-end or periodic reconciliations of reimbursable operating expenses or tax payments by a tenant under a Lease, the party in whose favor the error was made shall promptly pay to the other party the sum necessary to correct such error or make such adjustment upon receipt of proof of such error, provided that such proof is delivered to the party from whom payment is requested on or before one (1) year after Closing (such period being referred to herein as the “Post Closing Adjustment Period”). In order to enable Seller to
19
determine whether any such delayed adjustment is necessary, Buyer shall provide to Seller current operating and financial statements for the Property and copies of any correspondence and statements sent to tenants in connection with any reconciliation promptly after the same are prepared, but, in any event, no later than the date one (1) month prior to the expiration of the Post-Closing Adjustment Period.

If this Agreement is so terminated, then Seller shall be entitled to the Deposit as liquidated damages, and thereafter neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any section herein which expressly provides that it survives the termination of this Agreement. THE AMOUNT PAID TO AND RETAINED BY SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PURSUANT TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS SHALL BE SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IF BUYER FAILS TO CLOSE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY. THE PARTIES HERETO EXPRESSLY AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY BUYER WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO ASCERTAIN AND THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT PLUS ANY INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON REPRESENTS THE PARTIES’ REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR
36
PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677 AS SELLER’S SOLE REMEDY. SELLER HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1680 AND 3389. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 11.1, SELLER AND BUYER AGREE THAT THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION IS NOT INTENDED AND SHOULD NOT BE DEEMED OR CONSTRUED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY BUYER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

11.2 Seller’s Default. If, at the Closing, (i) Seller is in default of any of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) any of Seller’s Warranties are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, or (iii) the Closing otherwise fails to occur by reason of Seller’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, and any such circumstance described in any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) continues for five (5) business days after written notice from Buyer to Seller, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, then Buyer shall have the right, to elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, promptly after which the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of Buyer’s Due Diligence Costs within ten (10) days of Seller’s receipt from Buyer of an itemized statement for same, and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive the condition and proceed to close the Transaction, or (c) seek specific performance of this Agreement by Seller. As a condition precedent to Buyer exercising any right it may have to bring an action for specific performance hereunder, Buyer must commence such an action within forty-five (45) days after the occurrence of Seller’s default. Buyer agrees that its failure to timely commence such an action for specific performance within such forty-five (45) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence an action for specific performance as well as a waiver by it of any right it may have to file or record a notice of lis pendens or notice of pendency of action or similar notice against any portion of the Property.
ARTICLE 12
CONDEMNATION/CASUALTY
12.1 Right to Terminate. If, after the Commencement Date and prior to the Closing Date, (a) any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking which has not yet been consummated), or (b) any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed (excluding routine wear and tear), Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof. If the Property is the subject of a Major Casualty/Condemnation that occurs after the Commencement Date, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller no later than ten (10) business days after the receipt by Buyer of Seller’s notice, and the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer to make such election. The failure by Buyer to so elect in writing to terminate this Agreement within such ten (10) business day period shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12.1, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer
37
and, thereafter, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any section herein which expressly provides that it shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
12.2 Allocation of Proceeds and Awards. If a condemnation or casualty occurs after the Commencement Date and this Agreement is not terminated as permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, Buyer shall acquire the remainder of the Property upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and at the Closing:
12.2.1.1 if the awards or proceeds, as the case may be, have been paid to Seller prior to Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing equal to (i) the amount of any such award or proceeds on account of such condemnation or casualty, plus (ii) if a casualty has occurred and such casualty is an insured casualty, an amount equal to Seller’s deductible with respect to such casualty, less (iii) an amount equal to the Seller-Allocated Amounts; and
12.2.1.2 to the extent that such award or proceeds have not been paid to Seller prior to Closing, (i) if a casualty has occurred and such casualty is an insured casualty, Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing equal to Seller’s deductible with respect to such casualty, less an amount equal to the Seller-Allocated Amounts, and (ii) Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing (without recourse to Seller) the rights of Seller to, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and retain, such awards or proceeds; provided, however, that within three (3) business days after receipt of such awards or proceeds, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Seller-Allocated Amounts not previously paid to Seller.
12.3 Insurance. Seller shall maintain the property insurance coverage currently in effect for the Property, or comparable coverage, through the Closing Date.
12.4 Waiver. The provisions of this Article 12 supersede the provisions of any applicable Laws with respect to the subject matter of this Article 12.
ARTICLE 13
ESCROW PROVISIONS
The Deposit and any other sums (including, without limitation, any interest earned thereon) which the parties agree shall be held in escrow (herein collectively called the “Escrow Deposits”), shall be held by the Escrow Holder, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:
13.1.1.1 The Escrow Holder shall invest the Escrow Deposits in government insured interest-bearing instruments reasonably satisfactory to both Buyer and Seller, shall not commingle the Escrow Deposits with any funds of the Escrow Holder or others, and shall promptly provide Buyer and Seller with confirmation of the investments made.
38
13.1.1.2 If the Closing occurs, the Escrow Holder shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to, or upon the instructions of, Seller on the Closing Date.
13.1.1.3 If for any reason the Closing does not occur, the Escrow Holder shall deliver the Escrow Deposits and all interest earned thereon to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this Section 13.1.1.3. If for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Holder for payment of the Escrow Deposits or the interest earned thereon, the Escrow Holder shall give written notice to the other party of such demand. If the Escrow Holder does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within ten (10) days after the giving of such notice, the Escrow Holder is hereby authorized to make such payment. If the Escrow Holder does receive such written objection within such period, the Escrow Holder shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court.
13.1.1.4 The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Holder is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Holder shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that the Escrow Holder shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller or Buyer resulting from the Escrow Holder’s mistake of law respecting the Escrow Holder’s scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Holder harmless from and against all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Holder’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the Escrow Holder in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of the Escrow Holder.
13.1.1.5 Buyer shall pay any income taxes on any interest earned on the Escrow Deposits. Buyer represents and warrants to the Escrow Holder that its taxpayer identification number is 00-000-0000.
13.1.1.6 The Escrow Holder has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that the Escrow Holder has received and shall hold the Escrow Deposits and the interest earned thereon, in escrow, and shall disburse the Escrow Deposits, and the interest earned thereon, pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13.
The provisions of this Article 13 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or earlier termination of this Agreement.
39
ARTICLE 14
14.1 New Leases; Lease Modifications. After the Commencement Date, except as may be permitted by the terms of this Section 14.1, Seller shall not, without Buyer’s prior written consent in each instance, which consent must be given or denied, with the reasons for such denial specified in reasonable detail, within five (5) business days after receipt by Buyer of the information referred to in the next sentence, (a) enter into a New Lease; (b) modify or amend the Pre-Commencement Date Lease (except pursuant to the exercise by a tenant of a renewal, extension or expansion option or other right contained in such tenant’s Lease); or (c) consent to any assignment or sublease in connection with any Lease. Seller shall furnish Buyer with a written notice of the proposed transaction which shall contain information that Seller believes is reasonably necessary to enable Buyer to make informed decisions with respect to the advisability of the proposed action, including, but not limited to, an estimate of any Reimbursable Lease Expenses and copy of any term sheet, letter of intent or proposed lease form. If Buyer fails to object in writing to any such proposed action within five (5) business days after receipt of the aforementioned information, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the proposed action. Buyer’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to any such action that is proposed prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be entitled to grant or withhold its consent with respect to any such action that is proposed between the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Pre-Commencement Date Lease requires that the landlord’s consent be given under the applicable circumstances (or not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), then Buyer shall be deemed ipso facto to have approved such action. Any notice from Buyer rejecting the proposed action shall include a description of the reasons for Buyer’s rejection. If Buyer rejects any action proposed during the Due Diligence Period, Seller nevertheless retains full right, power and authority to execute such documents as are necessary to effect such action, and Seller shall promptly advise Buyer of the same. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event Buyer has rejected any action that was proposed during the Due Diligence Period and, thereafter, Seller notifies Buyer that Seller intends to effect such proposed action, Buyer shall have the right, within five (5) business days after receipt of Seller’s notice that Seller has taken such action, to elect to terminate this Agreement by the delivery to Seller of a written notice of termination, in which case the Deposit shall be paid to Buyer, Seller pay to Buyer the amount of Buyer’s Due Diligence Costs within ten (10) days of Seller’s receipt from Buyer of an itemized statement for same, and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any section herein which expressly provides that it shall survive the termination of this Agreement. If Buyer fails to notify Seller within such time period, Buyer shall be deemed to have fully waived any rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14.1 (but not pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement). Seller shall deliver to Buyer a true and complete copy of each such New Lease, renewal or extension agreement, modification, or amendment, as the case may be, promptly after the execution and delivery thereof.
14.2 Lease Enforcement. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (except to the extent that Seller’s failure to act shall constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies), to enforce the rights and remedies of the landlord under any Lease, by summary proceedings or otherwise (including, without limitation, the right to remove any tenant), and to
40
apply all or any portion of any security deposits then held by Seller toward any loss or damage incurred by Seller by reason of any defaults by tenants, and the exercise of any such rights or remedies shall not affect the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement in any manner or entitle Buyer to a reduction in, or credit or allowance against, the Purchase Price or give rise to any other claim on the part of Buyer.
14.3 Lease Expenses. At Closing, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any and all Reimbursable Lease Expenses to the extent that the same have been paid or incurred by Seller prior to Closing. In addition, at Closing, (i) Buyer shall assume Seller’s obligations to pay, when due (whether on a stated due date or accelerated) any Reimbursable Lease Expenses unpaid as of the Closing, and (ii) Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) with respect to such Reimbursable Lease Expenses which remain unpaid for any reason at the time of Closing, which obligations of Buyer shall survive the Closing and shall not be merged therein. Each party shall make available to the other all records, bills, vouchers and other data in such party’s control verifying Reimbursable Lease Expenses and the payment thereof.
ARTICLE 15
15.1 Buyer’s Assignment.
(a)
|
Except as provided in Section 15.1(b) below, Buyer shall not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder to any individual or entity without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent Seller may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, and any such assignment shall be null and void ab initio.
|
(b)
|
Notwithstanding the terms of paragraph (a), Buyer shall have the right to assign this Agreement to (a) one or more entities owned and controlled by, controlling or under common control with Buyer, or (b) to a partnership, limited liability company or similar vehicle in which Buyer owns a partnership or membership interest, without Seller’s consent so long as Buyer complies with the terms of paragraphs (c) and (d) hereinbelow.
|
(c)
|
In the event Buyer intends to assign its rights hereunder:
|
(i)
|
Buyer shall send Seller written notice of its proposed assignment at least five (5) business days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, which notice shall include the legal name and structure of the proposed assignee and evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller of the valid legal existence of Buyer’s assignee, its qualification (if necessary) to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and of the authority of Buyer’s assignee to execute and deliver any and all documents required of Buyer under the terms of this Agreement; and
|
41
(ii)
|
Buyer and the proposed assignee shall execute an assignment and assumption of this Agreement pursuant to which Buyer’s obligations hereunder are expressly assumed by such assignee.
|
(d)
|
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary:
|
(i)
|
Any permitted assignment by Buyer shall not relieve Buyer of any of its obligations and liabilities hereunder including obligations and liabilities which survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, nor shall any such assignment alter, impair or relieve such assignee from the waivers, acknowledgements and agreements of Buyer set forth herein, including, but not limited to, those set forth in Article 5, Article 9 and Article 10 hereof, all of which will be binding upon any assignee of Buyer.
|
(ii)
|
No transfer by Buyer of any interest in this Agreement and no transfers of direct or indirect interests in Buyer shall be permitted if the same would cause the representations and warranties made in Section 9.1.3 to be untrue, inaccurate or incomplete and Buyer covenants to cooperate with Seller’s requests to provide the following documentation for Seller to verify that such representations and warranties are true, accurate and complete at all times prior to Closing: information regarding the ownership of Buyer following the proposed assignment and a list of any person or entity that would directly or indirectly own more than a 25% interest in Buyer following the proposed assignment. If the results of Seller’s OFAC compliance check require additional information from the proposed assignee, Buyer covenants to deliver the Social Security number, FEIN number, or a copy of the passport, as applicable, for each such person or entity that would directly or indirectly own more than a 25% interest in Buyer following the proposed assignment. Notwithstanding any provision in this
|
42
|
Agreement to the contrary, Seller may disclose such information, without notice to Buyer, to any government agency or regulators in connection with any regulatory examination or if Seller reasonably believes that such disclosure is required by Law or its regulatory compliance policies. If Buyer fails to provide the requested documentation to Seller at least five (5) business days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, then Seller shall have the right, at its election, to postpone the scheduled Closing Date for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days.
|
15.2 Designation Agreement. Section 6045(e) of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (herein collectively called the “Reporting Requirements”) require an information return to be made to the United States Internal Revenue Service, and a statement to be furnished to Seller, in connection with the Transaction. Escrow Holder 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:
15.2.1.1 Escrow Holder is hereby designated as the “Reporting Person” (as defined in the Reporting Requirements) for the Transaction. Escrow Holder shall perform all duties that are required by the Reporting Requirements to be performed by the Reporting Person for the Transaction.
15.2.1.2 Seller and Buyer shall furnish to Escrow Holder, in a timely manner, any information requested by Escrow Holder and necessary for Escrow Holder to perform its duties as Reporting Person for the Transaction.
15.2.1.3 Escrow Holder hereby requests Seller to furnish to Escrow Holder Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number. Seller acknowledges that any failure by Seller to provide Escrow Holder with Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number may subject Seller to civil or criminal penalties imposed by law. Accordingly, Seller hereby certifies to Escrow Holder, under penalties of perjury, that Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number is 00-0000000.
15.2.1.4 Each of the parties hereto shall retain this Agreement for a period of four (4) years following the calendar year during which Closing occurs.
15.3 Survival/Merger. Except for the provisions of this Agreement which are explicitly stated to survive the Closing, (a) none of the terms of this Agreement shall survive the Closing, and (b) the delivery of the Purchase Price, the Deed and the other Closing Documents and the acceptance thereof shall effect a merger, and be deemed the full performance and discharge of every obligation on the part of Buyer and Seller to be performed hereunder.
43
15.4 Integration; Waiver. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, embodies and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the Transaction and all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument. No waiver by either party hereto of any failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply.
15.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State in which the Property is located.
15.6 Captions Not Binding; Exhibits. The captions in this Agreement are inserted for reference only and in no way define, describe or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or of any of the provisions hereof. All Exhibits attached hereto shall be incorporated by reference as if set out herein in full.
15.7 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
15.8 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any persons or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
15.9 Notices. Any notice, request, demand, consent, approval and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be deemed duly given or made at the time and on the date when received by facsimile or by e-mail (provided that the sender of such communication shall orally confirm receipt thereof by the appropriate parties) or when personally delivered as shown on a receipt therefor (which shall include delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service) or three (3) business days after being mailed by prepaid registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address for each party set forth below. Any party, by written notice to the other in the manner herein provided, may designate an address different from that set forth below.

By its execution of this Agreement, Buyer hereby agrees that it shall at all times comply with all applicable Laws involving Hazardous Materials in, at, under or about the Property or the removal of Hazardous Materials from the Property.

9. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
10. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any persons or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Exhibit H, Page 2
FORM OF FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) provides that a transferee of a United States real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a United States real property interest by TERRACES CP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Seller:
1. Seller is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations); and
2. Seller is not a disregarded entity as defined in §1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Code; and
3. Seller’s U.S. employer taxpayer identification number is 00-0000000; and
4. Seller’s office address is 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx, 00000-0000.
Seller understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
Under the 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 Seller.

Exhibit O, Page 1
D. Pursuant to an Office Lease dated as of December 15, 2008 (the “Lease”), Landlord’s predecessor demised to Tenant Landlord’s Premises (“Tenant’s Premises”), as more particularly described in the Lease.

F. Pursuant to a Lease Guaranty dated as of December 15, 2008, Leap Wireless International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, guaranteed the obligations of Tenant under the Lease.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and sufficient consideration, Tenant and Lender agree:
1. Definitions.
The following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Agreement.
1.1 Construction-Related Obligation. A “Construction-Related Obligation” means any obligation of Landlord under the Lease to make, pay for, or reimburse Tenant for any alterations, demolition, or other improvements or work at Landlord’s Premises, including Tenant’s Premises. “Construction-Related Obligations” shall not include: (a) reconstruction or repair following fire, casualty or condemnation, whether or not required by the Lease to be undertaken by Landlord; or (b) ordinary maintenance and repairs.
1.2 Foreclosure Event. A “Foreclosure Event” means: (a) foreclosure under the Deed of Trust, whether by judicial action or pursuant to nonjudicial proceedings; (b) any other exercise by Lender of rights and remedies (whether under the Deed of Trust or under applicable law, including bankruptcy law) as holder of the Loan and/or as beneficiary under the Deed of Trust, as a result of which any Successor Landlord becomes owner of Landlord’s Premises; or (c) delivery by Landlord to Lender (or its designee or nominee) of a deed or other conveyance of Landlord’s interest in Landlord’s Premises in lieu of any of the foregoing.
1.3 Former Landlord. A “Former Landlord” means the original Landlord named in the Lease and any other party that has become the landlord under the Lease at any time before the occurrence of any attornment under this Agreement.
1.4 Loan Documents. The “Loan Documents” mean the Deed of Trust and any other document now or hereafter evidencing, governing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Loan, including any promissory note and/or loan agreement, pertaining to the repayment or use of the Loan proceeds or to any of the real or personal property, or interests therein, securing the Loan, as such documents or any of them may have been or may be from time to time hereafter renewed, extended, supplemented, increased or modified. This Agreement is a Loan Document.
Exhibit O, Page 2
1.5 Offset Right. An “Offset Right” means any right or alleged right of Tenant to any offset, defense (other than one arising from actual payment and performance, which payment and performance would bind a Successor Landlord pursuant to this Agreement), claim, counterclaim, reduction, deduction, or abatement against Tenant’s payment of Rent or performance of Tenant’s other obligations under the Lease, arising (whether under the Lease or other applicable law) from Landlord’s breach or default under the Lease.
1.6 Rent. The “Rent” means any fixed rent, base rent, additional rent or percentage rent at any time becoming due or owing by Tenant under the Lease.
1.7 Successor Landlord. A “Successor Landlord” means any party that becomes owner of Landlord’s Premises as the result of a Foreclosure Event.
1.8 Tenant Concession. A “Tenant Concession” means any agreement or undertaking by any Former Landlord which is provided to Tenant or any affiliate of Tenant in connection with the execution by Tenant of the Lease or the occupancy by Tenant of Tenant’s Premises and which is not expressly set forth in the Lease, including free or reduced rent, early termination rights or options, assumption of any other lease obligations of Tenant or any affiliate of Tenant relating to property other than Landlord’s Premises, payment of moving or relocation costs, construction or installation of improvements to or alterations of Tenant’s Premises or Landlord’s Premises or the premises of any affiliate of Tenant, or any other economic, financial or contractual benefit to Tenant or any affiliate of Tenant of any type or nature that is provided by Landlord as an inducement to Tenant to enter into the Lease or to commence Tenant’s occupancy of Tenant’s Premises.
1.9 Termination Right. A “Termination Right” means any right of Tenant to cancel or terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction arising (whether under the Lease or under applicable law) from Landlord’s breach or default under the Lease.
2. Subordination.
The Lease shall be, and shall at all times remain, subject and subordinate to the Deed of Trust, the lien imposed by the Deed of Trust, and all advances made under the Loan Documents. Tenant hereby intentionally and unconditionally subordinates the Lease and all of Tenant’s right, title and interest thereunder and in and to Landlord’s Premises (including Tenant’s right, title and interest in connection with any insurance proceeds or eminent domain awards or compensation relating to Landlord’s Premises and Tenant’s right to receive and retain any rentals or payments made under any sublease or concession agreement of or relating to any portion of Tenant’s Premises), to the lien of the Deed of Trust and all of Lender’s rights and remedies thereunder, and agrees that the Deed of Trust shall unconditionally be and shall at all times remain a lien on Landlord’s Premises prior and superior to the Lease.
Exhibit O, Page 3
3. Nondisturbance, Recognition and Attornment.
3.1 No Exercise of Deed of Trust Remedies Against Tenant. So long as the Lease has not been terminated on account of Tenant’s default that has continued beyond applicable cure periods (an “Event of Default”), Lender shall not name or join Tenant as a defendant in any judicial action or proceeding that is commenced pursuant to the exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies arising upon a default by Landlord under the Deed of Trust unless (a) applicable law requires Tenant to be made a party thereto as a condition to proceeding against Landlord or in order to prosecute or otherwise fully enforce such rights and remedies; or (b) such joinder of Tenant is required for the recovery by Lender of any Rent at any time owing by Tenant under the Lease, whether pursuant to the assignment of rents set forth in the Deed of Trust or otherwise; or (c) such joinder is required in order to enforce any right of Lender to enter Landlord’s Premises for the purpose of making any inspection or assessment, or in order to protect the value of Lender’s security provided by the Deed of Trust. In any instance in which Lender is permitted to join Tenant as a defendant as provided above, Lender agrees not to terminate the Lease or otherwise adversely affect Tenant’s rights under the Lease or this Agreement in or pursuant to such action or proceeding, unless an Event of Default by Tenant has occurred and is continuing. The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1 shall not be construed in any manner that would prevent Lender from (i) carrying out any nonjudicial foreclosure proceeding under the Deed of Trust, (ii) exercising Lender’s rights under the provisions of California Civil Code Section 2938 with respect to the enforcement against Tenant of any assignment of rents made by Landlord to Lender in connection with the Loan, or (iii) obtaining the appointment of a receiver for the Landlord’s Premises as and when permitted under applicable law.
3.2 Nondisturbance and Attornment. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 above, if the Lease has not been terminated on account of an Event of Default by Tenant, then, when Successor Landlord acquires title to Landlord’s Premises: (a) Successor Landlord shall not terminate or disturb Tenant’s possession of Tenant’s Premises under the Lease, except in accordance with the terms of the Lease and this Agreement; (b) Successor Landlord shall be bound to Tenant under all the terms and conditions of the Lease (except as provided in this Agreement); (c) Tenant shall recognize and attorn to Successor Landlord as Tenant’s direct landlord under the Lease as affected by this Agreement; and (d) the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease, in accordance with its terms (except as provided in this Agreement), between Successor Landlord and Tenant.
3.3 Acknowledgment. Tenant acknowledges that Lender would not make the Loan without this Agreement and the subordination of the Lease to the lien of the Deed of Trust as set forth herein, and that in reliance upon, and in consideration of, this subordination, specific monetary and other obligations are being and will be entered into by Lender which would not be made or entered into but for reliance upon this Agreement and such subordination of the Lease. This Agreement is and shall be the sole and only agreement with regard to the subordination of the Lease to the lien of the Deed of Trust and shall supersede and cancel, but only insofar as would affect the priority between the Deed of Trust and the Lease, any prior agreement as to such subordination, including those provisions, if any, contained in the Lease which provide for the subordination of the Lease to a present or future deed or deeds of trust or to a present or future mortgage or mortgages.
Exhibit O, Page 4
3.4 Use of Proceeds. Lender, in making any advances of the Loan pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, shall be under no obligation or duty to, nor has Lender represented to Tenant that it will, see to the application of such proceeds by the person or persons to whom Lender disburses such advances, and any application or use of such proceeds for purposes other than those provided for in any Loan Document shall not defeat Tenant’s agreement to subordinate the Lease in whole or in part as set forth in this Agreement.
3.5 Turnover of Rent. Tenant shall pay to Lender all Rent otherwise payable to Landlord under the Lease upon written demand from Lender, and Tenant shall not have the right to contest or question the validity of any such written demand from Lender or the extent to which Lender may properly exercise its rights to collect rents from Landlord’s Premises pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents. The consent and approval of Landlord to this Agreement shall constitute an express authorization for Tenant to make such payments to Lender and a release and discharge of all liability of Tenant to Landlord for any such payments made to Lender in compliance with Lender’s written demand.
3.6 Additional Subordination; Bankruptcy Rights. Tenant shall not subordinate its rights under the Lease to any other mortgage, deed of trust, or other security instrument without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be given or withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. In the event the Lease is rejected or deemed rejected in any bankruptcy proceeding with respect to Landlord, Tenant shall not exercise its option to treat the Lease as terminated under 11 U.S.C. § 365(h), as amended, or any successor or similar statute.
3.7 Further Documentation. The provisions of this Article 3 shall be effective and self-operative without any need for Successor Landlord or Tenant to execute any further documents. Tenant and Successor Landlord shall, however, confirm the provisions of this Article 3 in writing upon request by either of them.
4. Protection of Successor Landlord.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or the Deed of Trust, Successor Landlord shall not be liable for or bound by any of the following matters:
4.1 Claims Against Former Landlord. Any Offset Right that Tenant may have against any Former Landlord relating to any event or occurrence before the date of attornment, including any claim for damages of any kind whatsoever as the result of any breach by Former Landlord that occurred before the date of attornment. The foregoing shall not limit either (a) Tenant’s right to exercise against Successor Landlord any Offset Right otherwise available to Tenant because of events occurring after the date of attornment, or (b) Successor Landlord’s obligation to correct any conditions that existed as of the date of attornment and that violate Successor Landlord’s obligations as landlord under the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (b), Tenant shall not be entitled to exercise any Offset Right against Successor Landlord with respect to any Known Preexisting Conditions (as hereinafter defined) or to enforce Successor Landlord’s obligations to correct such conditions, unless (i) Tenant shall have given Lender written notice of such conditions and an opportunity to inspect all of Tenant’s Premises prior to the applicable Foreclosure Event or (ii) such conditions relate to the repair of Tenant’s Premises or any defaults that must be cured in order to allow Tenant to use the premises for its business in accordance with the Lease. As used herein, “Known Preexisting Conditions” means any conditions that existed on or affected Tenant’s Premises and were actually known to Tenant prior to the date of attornment, which conditions were required to be corrected by Former Landlord prior to the date of attornment pursuant to the Lease.
Exhibit O, Page 5
4.2 Prepayments. Any payment of Rent that Tenant may have made to Former Landlord more than thirty (30) days before the date such Rent was first due and payable under the Lease with respect to any period after the date of attornment, other than, and only to the extent of, prepayments expressly required under the Lease.
4.3 Payments; Security Deposit. Any obligation (a) to pay Tenant any sum(s) that any Former Landlord owed to Tenant, or (b) with respect to any security deposited with Former Landlord, except to the extent that such security was actually delivered to Lender by Former Landlord and Lender has the legal right to use or apply such security for the purposes provided in the Lease.
4.4 Modification, Amendment, or Waiver. Any modification or amendment of the Lease, or any waiver of any terms of the Lease, made without Lender’s written consent.
4.5 Surrender, Etc. Any consensual or negotiated surrender, cancellation, or termination of the Lease, in whole or in part, agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant, unless effected unilaterally by Tenant pursuant to the express terms of the Lease.
4.6 Construction-Related Obligations. Any Construction-Related Obligation of Former Landlord.
5. Exculpation of Successor Landlord.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Lease, upon any attornment pursuant to this Agreement, (a) the Lease shall be deemed to have been automatically amended to provide that Successor Landlord’s obligations and liability under the Lease shall never extend beyond Successor Landlord’s (or its successors’ or assigns’) interest, if any, in Landlord’s Premises from time to time, including insurance and condemnation proceeds, Successor Landlord’s interest in the Lease, and the proceeds from any sale or other disposition of Landlord’s Premises by Successor Landlord (provided that Tenant shall have no interest in or right to participate in (i) any payments made under any promissory note received by Successor Landlord in connection with any such sale or other disposition, or (ii) any collateral held by Successor Landlord to secure such payments) (collectively, “Successor Landlord’s Interest”), and Tenant shall look exclusively to Successor Landlord’s Interest (or that of its successors and assigns) for payment or discharge of any obligations of Successor Landlord under the Lease as affected by this Agreement, and (b) the obligations under the Lease of Lender or any affiliate of Lender which becomes a Successor Landlord shall terminate upon the transfer by such Successor Landlord of its interest in Landlord’s Premises, and thereupon Tenant shall look solely to the transferee for the performance of all obligations of the landlord under the Lease which accrue or otherwise become performable following the date of such transfer. If Tenant obtains any money judgment against Successor Landlord with respect to the Lease or the relationship between Successor Landlord and Tenant, then Tenant shall look solely to Successor Landlord’s Interest (or that of its successors
Exhibit O, Page 6
and assigns) to collect such judgment. Tenant shall not collect or attempt to collect any such judgment out of any other assets of Successor Landlord. Nothing herein shall be construed to grant Tenant any right to seek any recovery from any Former Landlord or Successor Landlord to the extent that such recovery is not permitted under or is restricted by the provisions of the Lease.
6. Lender’s Right to Cure.
6.1 Notice to Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or this Agreement, before exercising any Termination Right or Offset Right, Tenant shall provide Lender with notice of the breach or default by Landlord giving rise to same (the “Default Notice”) and, thereafter, the opportunity to cure such breach or default as provided for below.
6.2 Lender’s Cure Period. After Lender receives a Default Notice, Lender shall have a period of thirty (30) days beyond the time available to Landlord under the Lease in which to cure the breach or default by Landlord. Lender shall have no obligation to cure (and shall have no liability or obligation for not curing) any breach or default by Landlord, except to the extent that Lender agrees or undertakes otherwise in writing.
6.3 Extended Cure Period. In addition, as to any breach or default by Landlord the cure of which requires possession and control of Landlord’s Premises, provided only that Lender undertakes to Tenant by written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Default Notice to exercise reasonable efforts to cure or cause to be cured by a receiver such breach or default within the period permitted by this Section 6.3, Lender’s cure period shall continue for such additional time (the “Extended Cure Period”) as Lender may reasonably require to either (a) obtain possession and control of Landlord’s Premises and thereafter cure the breach or default with reasonable diligence and continuity or (b) obtain the appointment of a receiver and give such receiver a reasonable period of time in which to cure the default.
7. Confirmation of Facts.
Tenant represents to Lender and to any Successor Landlord, in each case as of the Effective Date:
7.1 Effectiveness of Lease. The Lease is in full force and effect, has not been modified, and constitutes the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant relating to Tenant’s Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, there are no oral or written agreements between Landlord and Tenant that would create any additional obligations of Landlord with respect to the Lease or Tenant’s Premises, or that would reduce or limit any obligations of Tenant under the Lease. Tenant has no interest in Landlord’s Premises, including any right or option to purchase any portion of Landlord’s Premises or any portion of Landlord’s interest therein, except as is expressly set forth in the Lease. No unfulfilled conditions exist to Tenant’s obligations under the Lease.
7.2 Rent. Tenant has not paid any Rent that is first due and payable under the Lease after the Effective Date.
Exhibit O, Page 7
7.3 No Landlord Default. To the best of Tenant’s knowledge, no breach or default by Landlord exists and no event has occurred that, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or both, would constitute such a breach or default.
7.4 No Tenant Default. Tenant is not in default under the Lease and has not received any uncured notice of any default by Tenant under the Lease.
7.5 No Termination. Tenant has neither commenced any action nor sent or received any notice to terminate the Lease. Tenant has no presently exercisable Termination Right(s) or Offset Right(s).
7.6 Commencement Date. The “Commencement Date” of the Lease was _________.
7.7 Acceptance. Except as set forth below in this Section 7.7: (a) Tenant has accepted possession of Tenant’s Premises; and (b) Landlord has performed all Construction-Related Obligations related to Tenant’s initial occupancy of Tenant’s Premises, and Tenant has accepted such performance by Landlord.

We understand that (i) you have excluded from the Financial Statement certain expenses that would not be comparable to those resulting from the proposed future operations of the Property and (ii) the Financial Statement is not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenue and expenses of the Property. We confirm that we are responsible to provide to you correct information concerning the revenue and certain expenses generated from and incurred in connection with, the ownership and operation of the Property by the undersigned prior to _____________, 20____1 (the “Closing Date”) in conformity with GAAP.
Certain representations in this letter are described as being limited to matters that are material. Items are considered material, regardless of size, if they involve an omission or misstatement of accounting information that, in the light of surrounding circumstances, makes it probable that the judgment of a reasonable person relying on the information would be changed or influenced by the omission or misstatement.
We confirm, to our knowledge and belief, as of the date of this letter, the following representations made to you during your audit:
(1)
|
We have made available to you all financial records and related data, including lease agreements, and amendments thereto which support the amounts reported in the Financial Statement and that relate to our period of ownership of the Property.
|
(2)
|
With respect to the period of time during which the undersigned owned the Property: (x) there are no material transactions that have not been properly recorded in the accounting records of the undersigned that underlie the Financial Statement; and (y) the revenue and certain expenses included in the Financial Statement are for the Property operations, and do not relate to operations that have occurred for other properties owned or managed by us.

There are no allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the Property (during our ownership of the Property) received by us in communications from employees, former employees, regulators, or others.
|
(4)
|
Related party transactions with which we were involved during our ownership of the Property and where applicable, have been properly recorded or disclosed in the Financial Statement.
|
(5)
|
We are not aware of any information relating to our ownership of the Property and indicating that an illegal act, or violations or possible violations of any regulations, including the failure to file reports required by regulatory bodies (e.g., SEC, DOC, IRS, EPA, OCC, FDIC, DOL) when the effects of failing to file could be material to the financial statements of the Property.
|
(6)
|
We are not aware of any unasserted claims or assessments (with respect to our ownership of the Property) that are probable of assertion and must be disclosed in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
|
(7)

Very truly yours,
