PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.92
THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made as of June 1, 2007, by and between OIRE MICHIGAN, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), and KBS CAPITAL ADVISORS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”).
In consideration of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser agree as follows:
1. Sale of Subject Property. Seller agrees to sell to Purchaser the property described below, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the following property (collectively, “Subject Property”), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein:
(a) Real Property. Fee simple interest in that certain parcel of real estate in Xxxxx County, Michigan, commonly known as the Advo project, legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Land”), together with (i) all building structures, improvements and fixtures owned by Seller located on the Land (the “Improvements”), and (ii) all rights, privileges, servitudes, easements and appurtenances thereunto belonging or appertaining (the items described in (i) and (ii) above, collectively, the “Real Property”).
(b) Personal Property and Intangibles. All of the equipment and personal property owned by Seller located at or installed on the Real Property and used solely in the operation of the Real Property, if any, and the right to use the name of the Subject Property and other business or trade names associated with the Subject Property (excluding any name containing the name “Opus”) to the extent the same are assignable (collectively, “Personal Property”).
(c) Lease. The interest as lessor in and to the lease described on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof, together with all amendments or modifications referred to therein, if any (the “Lease”).
(d) Permits. The licenses, permits, and certificates of occupancy described on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof, to the extent that the same are assignable (collectively, the “Permits”).
(e) Service Contracts. The existing service and maintenance contracts described on Exhibit D attached hereto and made a part hereof, together with all amendments or modifications referred to therein, if any (“Service Contracts”) to the extent they are assignable. On or before the Contingency Date, Purchaser shall advise Seller, in writing, of any Service Contracts that Purchaser does not desire to be assigned to and assumed by Purchaser at Closing (the “Rejected Service Contracts”), and any Rejected Service Contracts shall be terminated prior to or at Closing if such contracts are terminable at no cost to Seller and Seller has reasonably sufficient notice to allow for timely termination of such Service Contracts. Failure by Purchaser to notify Seller prior to the Contingency Date shall constitute an election by Purchaser to have all of the Service Contracts assigned to and assumed by Purchaser at Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser hereby disapproves of any leasing agreements and/or property management agreements affecting the Subject Property, which Seller shall cause to be terminated at Closing.
(f) Warranties. All unexpired warranties and guaranties given or assigned to or benefiting Seller, the Real Property or the Personal Property regarding the acquisition, construction, design, use, operation, management or maintenance of the Real Property or the Personal Property that are described on Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part hereof (“Warranties”), to the extent that the same are in Seller’s possession and are assignable without cost to Seller; provided, however, it is understood that Seller is not assigning, and the Subject Property does not consist of, any interest in any construction or development contract between Seller and any other Opus-related entity.
(g) Plans. A limited license, as hereinafter described, to review and use a copy of the final plans and specifications (excluding shop drawings) relating to the construction of the Improvements in Seller’s possession (“Plans”); provided, however, neither Purchaser nor its successors or assigns may use the Plans for any purpose other than the repair, maintenance or restoration of the Improvements without the prior written consent of Seller, and Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its affiliates from and against any unauthorized use of the Plans, which obligation shall survive Closing. Seller reserves the right to use the Plans for any purpose.
2. Closing Date; Purchase Price. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Subject Property (“Closing”) shall occur on July 10, 2007 (the “Closing Date”) unless this Agreement is earlier terminated as provided herein, subject to extension as provided in Section 7(a) below, and subject to Purchaser’s right (which is hereby granted to Purchaser) to accelerate the Closing Date upon five (5) business days prior written notice. Purchaser shall pay to Seller, as consideration for the purchase of the Subject Property, the sum (“Purchase Price”) of EIGHT MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($8,500,000.00) as the same may be adjusted as provided below. The Purchase Price shall be payable as follows:
(a) Initial Xxxxxxx Money Deposit. Within one (1) business day after the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deposit in the form of cash the sum of FIFTY THOUSAND and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) (together with interest earned thereon, the “Initial Xxxxxxx Money”) with the escrow department of First American Title Insurance Company, a California corporation, at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, attn: Xxxxxx Xxxx (“Title Company”) pursuant to an escrow agreement in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Escrow Agreement”).
(b) Second Xxxxxxx Money Deposit. Within one (1) business day after the Contingency Date (as defined herein), Purchaser shall deposit in the form of cash the additional sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Nonrefundable Second Xxxxxxx Money”; together with the Initial Xxxxxxx Money and any interest earned thereon, the “Xxxxxxx Money”) with the Title Company pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Agreement, if the transaction contemplated hereunder fails to close for any reason other than Purchaser’s default under this Agreement, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refundable to Purchaser, except as specifically provided herein. All or a portion of the Xxxxxxx Money shall, at Purchaser’s election, be credited against the Purchase Price at Closing.
(c) Balance of Purchase Price. The balance of the Purchase Price, plus or minus prorations and other adjustments, if any, shall be due in cash at Closing. Purchaser shall pay such balance to Seller, or, at the direction of Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Title Company’s escrow account at Closing, to be received by Seller at or before 2:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time on the Closing Date.

3. Conditions Precedent to Closing. Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to satisfaction or waiver of each of the following conditions (“Conditions Precedent”) on or before 5:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time, on July 2, 2007 (“Contingency Date”):
(a) Title/Survey. Prior to the date hereof, Seller has furnished to Purchaser: (i) a current title commitment (“Commitment”) for the Real Property (with copies of all underlying title documents listed in the Commitment other than any financing documents) for a ALTA 2006 form owner’s title policy (the “Owner’s Policy) in the amount of the Purchase Price issued by the Title Company showing title in Seller, subject only to the encumbrances set forth on Exhibit G attached hereto and made a part hereof or otherwise permitted by Purchaser (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”), which Commitment shall be in a nominal amount but shall be increased to the Purchase Price at Closing and (ii) an updated ALTA as-built survey (“Survey”) for the Real Property prepared in accordance with the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for Class A Land Title Surveys (jointly established by ALTA/ACSM as revised in 2005) which shall be (prior to Closing) certified to Purchaser and the Title Company. If the Survey discloses survey defects other than the Permitted Encumbrances or if the Commitment shows exceptions other than the Permitted Encumbrances that are not acceptable to Purchaser (collectively, the “Unpermitted Encumbrances”), then Purchaser shall notify Seller, in writing, on or before June 21, 2007 (the “Title Notice Date”), specifying the Unpermitted Encumbrances, and, prior to the Contingency Date, Purchaser shall have received assurances satisfactory to Purchaser, in its reasonable discretion, that the Unpermitted Encumbrances will be removed or endorsed over on or before Closing. Any encumbrances shown on the Commitment or the Survey to which Purchaser has not objected on or prior to the Title Notice Date shall be deemed “Permitted Encumbrances”. In addition, if Seller has not expressly agreed in writing on or before the Contingency Date that Seller will remove or cause the Title Company to endorse over any encumbrances to which Purchaser has objected, such encumbrances shall be deemed “Permitted Encumbrances” (and shall no longer be Unpermitted Encumbrances) from and after the Contingency Date if Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement as allowed herein, on or prior to the Contingency Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall have no obligation to correct, cure or remove any Unpermitted Encumbrances; provided, however, that Seller covenants to cause all monetary and financing liens and encumbrances created by or through Seller (other than the liens for non-delinquent real property taxes) to be eliminated at Seller’s sole cost and expense (including all pre-payment penalties and charges) prior to or concurrently with Closing.
(b) Due Diligence Materials; Tests. Seller shall, within two (2) business days following execution of this Agreement, deliver to Purchaser copies of the due diligence materials listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto to the extent in Seller’s possession or control with respect to the Subject Property, for Purchaser’s review and analysis. Except as otherwise provided herein, it is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that such materials are provided only for Purchaser’s convenience in making its own examination and determination prior to the Contingency Date, as to whether or not it wishes to purchase the Subject Property, and, in doing so, Purchaser shall rely exclusively on its own independent investigation and evaluation of every aspect of the Subject Property and on the express representations of Seller contained herein and not on any materials supplied by Seller. Seller shall allow Purchaser and Purchaser’s officers, employees, agents, attorneys, architects and engineers access to the Real Property, subject to the rights of Advo, Inc., the tenant under the Lease (the “Tenant”) without charge and at all reasonable times, for the purpose of making such inspections, tests and verifications (collectively, “Tests”) as they shall deem reasonably necessary, provided that Purchaser may not perform a Phase II environmental assessment or physically invasive testing without Seller’s prior written approval. Purchaser’s access rights shall commence on the date of this Agreement and continue until the earliest to occur of the following events: (i) the date Seller terminates this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof; (ii) the date Purchaser terminates this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, or (iii) the Closing. On or before the Contingency Date, Purchaser shall be satisfied, in its sole and absolute discretion, with the results of the Tests. Purchaser shall pay all costs and expenses of the Tests, and except for those matters caused by the negligent acts or omissions of Seller, Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller, and its agents, employees and contractors, and the Subject Property, from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability, settlement, cause of action or threat thereof or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from or relating to the
3
Tests, but excluding claims arising from Purchaser’s discovery of existing conditions on the Subject Property (except to the extent such existing conditions were exacerbated by the Tests). Purchaser shall carry and shall cause any consultants retained by Purchaser to carry policies of commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than $5,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, death and property damage liability and provide evidence of such insurance to Seller prior to commencing the Tests. Purchaser shall promptly repair and restore any damage to the Subject Property attributable to the conduct of the Tests, or Purchaser’s presence or activity on the Subject Property and shall promptly return the Subject Property to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the conduct of the Tests. No Tests shall be conducted without Seller’s approval as to the time and manner of such Tests, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. At Seller’s sole option, any such Tests shall be performed in the presence of a representative of Seller. All Tests shall be conducted in such a manner so as to minimize interference with the operation of the Subject Property and the business of the Tenant and occupants thereof. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the indemnity, defense and hold harmless obligations of Purchaser under this Section 3(b) shall survive Closing and any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall have no obligation to make any repairs or improvements to the Subject Property.
Purchaser shall be permitted to interview Tenant at a time reasonably acceptable to Seller and the Tenant, provided that Seller may have a representative present at any such interview.
Purchaser has informed Seller that Purchaser is required by law to complete with respect to certain matters relating to the Subject Property an audit commonly known as a “3-14” Audit (“Purchaser’s 3-14 Audit”). In connection with the performance of Purchaser’s 3-14 Audit, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, as part of the due diligence materials provided to Purchaser as provided for in this Agreement, (a) the documents which are described on Exhibit M attached hereto, to the extent in existence and in Seller’s possession with respect to the time periods during which the Subject Property was owned by Seller (collectively, the “Audit Documentation”), and (b) provide to Purchaser in written form, as determined by Seller, answers to the questions relating to the Subject Property which are expressly set forth in Exhibit M (the “Written Answers”) (provided that Seller shall not be required to answer any additional written questionnaires in connection with Purchaser’s 3-14 Audit and shall not be required to deliver any confidential or proprietary information of Seller, including appraisals, organizational documents, documents relating to the capitalization of Seller or its members, whether through debt or equity, the Seller’s basis in the Subject Property, and internal reports, or any materials not related to the Subject Property). All such Audit Documentation and Written Answers are provided by Seller without any representation or warranty. Purchaser waives all claims against Seller in connection with the preparation of the Audit Documentation and Written Answers provided to Purchaser or its auditors with respect to the Subject Property. Purchaser shall indemnify and defend Seller and its officers, directors, employees, members and affiliates against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) arising in connection with the preparation and delivery of the Audit Documentation and Written Answers, including any claims based on the accuracy or completeness of the Audit Documentation or Written Answers or compliance of such Audit Documentation or Written Answers with applicable laws. Purchaser’s indemnification obligations contained in this Section 3 shall survive Closing.
Purchaser shall, on or before the Contingency Date notify Seller in writing if the Conditions Precedent have not been satisfied or waived by Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion and that Purchaser has elected to terminate this Agreement (which election shall be in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion). If Purchaser so timely notifies Seller, then this Agreement shall terminate, and Purchaser shall receive a return of the Xxxxxxx Money together with any interest earned thereon, provided Purchaser shall execute any documents reasonably required by Seller to evidence such termination
4
including, without limitation, a quit claim deed. Upon such termination, neither party will have any further rights or obligations (other than the obligations of Purchaser set forth in Sections 1(g), 3(b) and 28 and the indemnity and other obligations of Seller and Purchaser set forth in Sections 13 and 23, which obligations shall survive any such termination; such indemnity obligations shall be referred to herein as the “Surviving Indemnity Obligations”) regarding this Agreement or the Subject Property. If Purchaser gives notice that the Conditions Precedent have been satisfied or waived by Purchaser, or if Purchaser fails to notify Seller on or prior to the Contingency Date that the Conditions Precedent have not been satisfied or waived by Purchaser, then Purchaser’s termination right set forth in this Section 3 shall be deemed to have been waived by Purchaser, in which event (i) Purchaser shall deposit the Nonrefundable Second Xxxxxxx Money with the Title Company, (ii) the Initial Xxxxxxx Money and the Nonrefundable Second Xxxxxxx Money shall become nonrefundable as of the Contingency Date subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (iii) the parties shall proceed to Closing in accordance with the provisions herein contained.
4. Covenants by Seller. Seller covenants and agrees with Purchaser that from the date hereof until the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller shall conduct its business involving the Subject Property as follows and during such period will (except as specifically provided to the contrary herein):
(a) Transfers; Easements. Refrain from conveying the Subject Property, except to an affiliate or subsidiary (which transfer, if any, will be made subject to the rights of Purchaser under this Agreement), or creating on the Subject Property any easements affecting the Subject Property other than as may be required by any applicable governmental or quasi-governmental authority or by a provider of utility services, and refrain from removing any fixture or equipment; provided, however, nothing herein shall preclude Seller or Seller’s property manager from replacing any equipment, supplies or machinery in the ordinary course of operating the Subject Property. Seller shall, upon Seller’s receipt, deliver to Purchaser a copy of any easement so required by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or provider of utility services affecting the Subject Property (which shall require the consent of Purchaser, not to be unreasonably withheld), and any such easement, if approved, shall constitute a Permitted Encumbrance.
(b) Contracts. Refrain from entering into or amending any material contracts or other agreements regarding the Subject Property that would be binding on Purchaser following consummation of the sale contemplated by this Agreement (other than leases, which are governed by Section 4(d) and other than contracts in the ordinary course of business which are cancelable by the owner of the Subject Property without penalty within thirty (30) days after giving notice thereof) without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and which shall be deemed given if Purchaser does not object to Seller’s request for approval within three (3) days.
(c) Operation. Operate, maintain, repair and insure the Subject Property in a manner consistent with the existing operation, maintenance, repair and insurance of the Subject Property.
(d) Other Leases. Except as expressly provided herein, from and after the Contingency Date (provided that this Agreement has not been terminated), Seller shall refrain from amending the existing Lease (a “Proposed Lease Amendment”) without Purchaser’s written approval, as provided below, provided that Purchaser shall have no ability to interfere with the administration by Seller of the existing Lease as required by, and in accordance with, the terms of the Lease. Seller shall furnish Purchaser with a true and complete copy of any Proposed Lease Amendment, and Purchaser shall have three (3) business days from receipt of such Proposed Lease Amendment to approve or disapprove the same, which approval or disapproval shall be in Purchaser’s sole discretion. In the event that
5
Purchaser does not approve any such Proposed Lease Amendment, Purchaser shall notify Seller, in writing, of such disapproval prior to the expiration of the aforesaid three (3) business day period. If Purchaser does not provide such notice prior to the expiration of the aforesaid three (3) business day period, the Proposed Lease Amendment shall be deemed approved. Nothing in this Section 4(d) shall restrict Seller from amending the Lease prior to the Contingency Date, provided that Seller shall provide Purchaser with a copy of any such Proposed Lease Amendment(s) at least three (3) days prior to the Contingency Date.
(e) Notice Regarding Representations and Warranties. Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser any notices it may hereafter receive from time to time that, if not delivered to Purchaser, would cause the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 herein to be untrue if made after Seller’s receipt of any such notices.
(f) SNDAs. Seller agrees to submit to the Tenant a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (the “SNDA”) in the form delivered by Purchaser to Seller (provided that such form shall be completed by Purchaser and delivered to Seller) and request that the Tenant return the SNDA to Seller along with the Estoppel Certificates (as defined in Section 7(b)(iii) below), but receipt of the executed SNDA from Tenants shall not be a condition to the Closing.

Among other things, for purposes hereof, Purchaser shall be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or circumstance set forth in any environmental assessments, Estoppel Certificate (as defined in Section 7(b)(iv) hereof) or other written materials reviewed or received by Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date.

8
such representations, provided that a material change in such representations after the Contingency Date shall constitute a failure of Purchaser’s Closing Condition Precedent set forth in Section 7(b)(i) below.

(b) Purchaser’s Closing Conditions Precedent. Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to satisfaction or waiver of each of the following conditions (“Purchaser’s Closing Conditions Precedent”); provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the unilateral right to waive any Purchaser’s Closing Conditions Precedent, in whole or in part, by written notice to Seller:
(i) | The representations of Seller in Section 5 hereof shall be, in all material respects, true and complete (provided that the execution of any Lease amendments permitted by this Agreement shall not be deemed a failure of this condition). |
(ii) | Seller shall have performed all of the obligations required to be performed by Seller under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the timely delivery of all documents and instruments to Title Company as required by Sections 8(a) and 8(d) hereof, as and when required by this Agreement, in all material respects. |

Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller shall not be in default under this Agreement if Seller is unable to obtain an Estoppel Certificate from the Tenant and that no costs, expenses or other damages shall be due to Purchaser in such event. |
9
Seller shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such Estoppel Certificate from the Tenant prior to the Contingency Date; provided, however, Seller shall not be required to expend significant monies or make significant concessions or institute litigation in order to obtain such Estoppel Certificate. Purchaser shall accept an Estoppel Certificate from the Tenant substantially in the form required in the Tenant’s Lease, or in another form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser in lieu of an Estoppel Certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit H attached hereto. |
(c) Seller’s Conditions Precedent. Seller’s obligation to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to satisfaction or waiver of each of the following conditions (“Seller’s Closing Conditions Precedent”), but Seller shall have the unilateral right to waive, in whole or in part, any Seller’s Closing Conditions Precedent, by written notice to Purchaser:

In the event Purchaser’s Closing Conditions Precedent or Seller’s Closing Conditions Precedent, as the case may be, have not been satisfied or waived as of the scheduled Closing Date as the same may be extended as permitted above, and provided the failure to satisfy or waive any such condition is not attributable to a breach or default of this Agreement by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be (in which event the provisions of Section 10 shall apply), this Agreement shall terminate (other than the Surviving Indemnity Obligations, which obligations shall survive any such termination) and the Xxxxxxx Money shall promptly be returned to Purchaser; provided, however, upon such termination Purchaser shall, at the request of Seller, execute any document reasonably requested by Seller to evidence such termination, including, without limitation, a quit claim deed.

In the event prorations cannot be calculated on the Closing Date, the amount of such prorations shall be adjusted in cash after Closing, as and when complete and accurate information becomes available.

NOTHING HEREIN CONTAINED SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO A DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OCCURRING AFTER THE CLOSING DATE, AND IN SUCH CASE THE PARTIES SHALL HAVE ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AVAILABLE AT LAW, IN EQUITY OR OTHERWISE INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE RIGHT TO SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS HEREIN SET FORTH, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 6(B) HEREOF.

the Subject Property. In the event of any such termination of this Agreement, neither party will have any further obligations under this Agreement (other than the Surviving Indemnity Obligations, which obligations shall survive any such termination), that Purchaser shall, at the request of Seller, execute any document reasonably requested by Seller to evidence such termination including, without limitation, a quit claim deed. If Purchaser fails to elect to terminate this Agreement (in the manner provided in this Section 11) despite such damage, or if the Improvements are damaged but not substantially, Seller shall promptly commence to repair such damage or destruction and to return the damaged Improvements to substantially their condition prior to such damage. If such damage shall be completely repaired prior to the Closing Date, then there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall retain the proceeds of all insurance related to such damage. If such damage shall not be completely repaired prior to the Closing Date, but Seller is diligently proceeding to repair, then there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price and Seller shall complete the repair after the Closing Date and shall be entitled to receive the proceeds of all insurance related to such damage; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the right to delay the Closing Date until repair is completed.

In the event of any such termination, neither party will have further obligations under this Agreement (other than the Surviving Indemnity Obligations, which obligations shall survive any such termination), Purchaser shall, at the request of Seller, execute any document reasonably requested by Seller to evidence such termination including, without limitation, a quit claim deed. If Purchaser fails to elect to terminate this Agreement in the manner provided in this Section 12, then there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing Date all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any award made or to be made in the condemnation proceedings.

For purposes hereof, “control” shall mean ownership (directly or indirectly) of 51% or more of the voting or comparable ownership interest of any such trust, corporation, partnership or limited liability company. Any assignment shall be subject to all the provisions, terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement and the assignor shall, in any event, continue to be and remain liable under this Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time, as a principal and not as a surety, without notice to such assignor.
