the Due Diligence Materials. If a particular Due Diligence Material item is not in the possession or control of any applicable Seller, it will affirmatively state so, and such statement shall constitute “delivery” as required by the foregoing sentence.
4.2 Due Diligence Review. During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall be entitled to review the Due Diligence Materials, and to examine, inspect and investigate each Property to determine whether they are acceptable to Purchaser. Sellers shall grant Purchaser and those acting by, through, or under Purchaser full and complete access to the books and records of Sellers with respect to the Property, and, provided the Closing occurs, permit Purchaser to retain copies of such books and records. Purchaser, its officers and employees, and those acting by, through, and under Purchaser (collectively, the “Purchaser Parties”), shall be entitled to (i) access to the books and records of Sellers with respect to each Property, (ii) make all inspections or investigations desired by Purchaser with respect to each Property and shall have complete physical access thereto (including without limitation, access to the roofs and ceilings of each Building) and (iii) interview Tenants of each Building; provided, (1) the Purchaser Parties shall schedule any visits to, and inspections of, each Property at least two (2) calendar days in advance with Seller, (2) such access shall not unreasonably interfere with any Tenant’s operations at such Property, and (3) representatives of Sellers shall be provided with the opportunity to accompany any Purchaser Party while at such Property. Purchaser shall also be permitted to meet with the Tenants of Suites 110, 130, 250 and 260 at the JEP Building and with representatives of HMA.
If Purchaser takes, or causes to be taken, any sample from a Property in connection with the foregoing, Purchaser shall provide to Sellers a portion of such sample being tested to allow Seller, if it so chooses, to perform its own testing. Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Sellers copies of all reports relating to any testing or other inspection of a Property performed by or on behalf of Purchaser so long as (i) Sellers reimburse Purchaser for its out of pocket costs and expenses of copying and delivering any such reports, (ii) delivery of such reports to Sellers are not prohibited (or does not create liability for Purchaser) under the terms of such reports or under the contracts or agreements for preparation of the same, (iii) Sellers execute and/or provide any additional documentation required by the authors of such reports in order to allow Sellers’ reliance thereon, and Sellers pay the costs associated therewith, and (iv) Sellers acknowledge and agree in writing for the benefit of Purchaser that they will keep such reports confidential (to the extent required by the reports or the contracts or agreements for preparation of such reports) and that Purchaser has no obligation or liability for the accuracy or inaccuracy of any information contained therein; provided, however, that neither Sellers nor Purchaser make any representation or warranty of any kind as to such reports, testing or inspection and/or the results therein. Purchaser hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold Sellers harmless from any loss, cost, damage or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising from any property damage or any injury to or death of any persons, or claims and actions for damages suffered or incurred by Tenants, arising out of any entry on a Property by any Purchaser Party, which indemnity obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Purchaser shall immediately pay or cause to be removed any liens filed against any Property as a result of the Due Diligence Review by Purchaser.
12
If Purchaser shall, for any reason or no reason, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, disapprove or be dissatisfied with any aspect of such information, or a Property, then Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by delivering a “Termination Notice” (herein so called) to Sellers at or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the last day of the Due Diligence Period. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, Purchaser shall return all due diligence materials obtained from Sellers and copies thereof to Seller, or, in the alternative, Purchaser may deliver a certificate to Sellers stating that all such due diligence materials have been destroyed. If Purchaser’s written termination is timely made, then the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and thereafter neither Party shall have any further obligations or liabilities to the other hereunder except for those that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to timely deliver the Termination Notice, then, except as otherwise provided herein, the Xxxxxxx Money shall thereafter be non-refundable, but shall be credited to the Purchase Price at Closing, and Purchaser’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be of no further force or effect.
Purchaser understands and agrees that the Due Diligence Materials and all information obtained pursuant to such Due Diligence Materials shall be kept in confidence and shall not be revealed to outside parties other than (i) to the extent such information is otherwise available in the public domain, (ii) to Purchaser’s agents, representatives, lenders, investors, principals and Affiliates, or (iii) as otherwise required by law.
4.3 Service Contracts. Sellers will assign to Purchaser at Closing those Service Contracts listed on Exhibit C hereto except to the extent that Purchaser rejects any such Service Contracts by way of written notice delivered to Sellers by Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. At Closing, Purchaser shall assume all obligations under all Service Contracts other than those so rejected by Purchaser and shall indemnify Sellers with respect to all liabilities and obligations accruing thereunder from and after the Closing Date. Sellers shall indemnify Purchaser with respect to all liabilities and obligations accruing prior to the Closing Date under all Service Contracts other than those so rejected by Purchaser, and shall retain all liability for any Service Contracts which Purchaser rejects. Purchaser shall indemnify Sellers with respect to all liabilities and obligations accruing from and after the Closing Date under all Service Contracts assumed by Purchaser.
ARTICLE V.
TITLE AND SURVEY REVIEW
5.1 Title Commitment and Survey. Purchaser shall order the Title Commitment and Survey for each Property not later than five (5) days following the Effective Date and shall furnish Seller with a copy of each promptly following receipt.
5.2 Permitted Exceptions. Except as hereinafter provided, the term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean: (a) the matters which become Permitted Exceptions pursuant to Section 5.3 below; (b) Laws existing with respect to each Property; (c) real estate taxes and assessments for the current and future years, which are not yet due and payable with respect to a Property or any portion thereof; (d) the Leases and (e) the Base Leases. The term “Permitted Exceptions” shall expressly not include any deed of trust, judgment, mechanic’s, materialman’s
13
or other liens, or any of the so-called “standard exceptions” or “pre-printed” exceptions which are subject to deletion by the Title Company upon receipt of a standard owner’s affidavit, which each Seller shall provide at Closing (the “Title Affidavit”). Without limiting the foregoing, the Title Affidavit shall be in such a form so as to, among other things, cause the Title Company to omit from the Title Policy all exceptions for unfiled mechanic’s, materialmen’s or similar liens and to provide “gap” coverage insuring the period from the effective date of the Title Commitment through the date and time of recording of the Deed and the Assignments of Base Leases.
5.3 Title Review and Cure.
(a) Seller will cooperate with Purchaser in curing any objections Purchaser may have to title to the Properties, but Seller shall not be obligated to incur any liability or expense in connection therewith except as provided in this Agreement. Seller shall have no obligation to cure title objections except liens of an ascertainable amount, which liens Seller shall cause to be released at or prior to the Closing. Seller agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are created by, under or through Seller after the date of this Agreement, except for liens consented to, authorized or approved by Purchaser. Purchaser may terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money if the Title Company revises the Title Commitment after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to add or modify exceptions or to delete or modify the conditions to obtaining any endorsement requested by Purchaser during the Due Diligence Period, if such additions, modifications or deletions are not acceptable to Purchaser, have not been consented to, authorized or approved by Purchaser or are not removed by the Closing Date. In the event that any such additions, modifications or deletions were caused by or through any Seller, and Purchaser so terminates this Agreement, Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the Transaction, not to exceed Four Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($400,000.00) in the aggregate.
(b) On or before the last day of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall notify Seller of any other objections to the title to the Properties which Purchaser may have. Failure to notify Seller of such objection shall be deemed an approval of any matter pertaining to title to the Properties disclosed by the Title Commitment or the Survey and such matter shall become a Permitted Exception. Seller may elect to not cure any such objections and shall give written notice to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of Purchaser’s objections of its decision, whereupon Purchaser may waive such objection[s] and close or may terminate this Agreement, which election shall be made within ten (10) days following receipt of such notice from Seller. If Seller fails to timely give such notice, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to cure the objection[s].
5.4 Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. At the Closing, as a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close, the Title Company shall deliver the Title Policy to the Purchaser. The Title Policy may be delivered after the Closing if at the Closing the Title Company issues a currently effective, duly-executed “marked-up” Title Commitment acceptable to Purchaser in all respects
14
and irrevocably commits in writing to issue the Title Policy in the form of the “marked-up” Title Commitment promptly after the Closing Date.

17
purchase contracts, options or other agreements of any kind, whereby any Person will have acquired or will have any right to acquire title or interest to all or any portion of the Property.
(r) Sellers have provided to Purchaser true, correct and complete copies of the Leases. No other material agreement, whether written or oral, exists with respect to the Leases or the occupancy of the Property, other than what has been delivered to Purchaser. No Seller has given or received any written notice of any breach or default under any Lease which has not been cured. To Sellers’ Actual Knowledge, no Tenant is entitled to any rebates, rent concessions, free rent periods, credits, set-offs, rent reductions, take-back or take-over obligations or any other concessions granted under any Lease. No Tenant has asserted, nor to Sellers’ Actual Knowledge does any Tenant have a right to, any defense, set-off or counterclaim in respect of its obligations under any Lease. No rents due from any Tenant under any Lease are presently assigned, hypothecated or encumbered by any Seller, other than in connection with any mortgage currently encumbering the Property, which shall be satisfied in connection with the Closing. No rent under any Lease has been prepaid (except for rental for the current month). No Tenant has notified any Seller in writing, or otherwise, of its intent to terminate any Lease prior to expiration of the term of such Lease. Neither any Seller, nor to Sellers’ Actual Knowledge any Tenant, is in breach or default under any obligation thereunder.
(s) Attached hereto as Schedule 6.1(s) is a true and complete copy of the Permits that to Sellers’ Actual Knowledge are necessary for the ownership and operation of the Property. Seller has provided true and complete copies of the Permits on Schedule 6.1(s) that are in Sellers’ possession or control and as indicated on Schedule 6.1(s). No Seller has received any written notice from any Person of (i) any violation, suspension, revocation or non-renewal of any such Permits that has not been cured or dismissed, or (ii) any failure by any Seller to obtain any Permits that are necessary for or relate to the ownership and/or operation of the Property that has not been cured or dismissed.
(t) Attached hereto as Schedule 6.1(t) is a true and complete summary of the reconciliations for operating expenses, taxes and all other “pass-through” charges for 2012 to all Tenants entitled to receive such reconciliations under the Leases. Sellers shall pay such amounts due to any Tenant as a result of such reconciliations prior to Closing and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any such amount which they are due to receive prior to Closing. To the extent any Seller is unable to collect any such amount which they are due to receive prior to Closing, Sellers shall be entitled to continue its collection efforts from and after Closing; provided, however, that Sellers shall have no right to file any eviction actions or undertake any other actions that would impact any Lease from and after the Closing.
To the extent circumstances first arise after the Effective Date but before Closing which would render one or more of the above representations and warranties no longer materially true and correct, Sellers shall promptly (but no later than at Closing) deliver written notice to Purchaser of such changed circumstances. If Purchaser obtains actual knowledge prior to Closing that any representation or warranty of a Seller contained in this Agreement is no longer true and correct in
18
all material respects, then Purchaser shall give Seller written notice of such changed circumstances. Seller shall have ten (10) days following the delivery (by Seller) or receipt (from Purchaser) of such notice to cause the representation or warranty to be materially true and correct. If Seller does not or cannot cause such representation or warranty to be materially true and correct, then Purchaser may as its sole remedy on account of such false representation or warranty elect to (i) accept the Portfolio regardless of such change, and consummate the purchase and sale of the Portfolio, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by giving Sellers written notice thereof within ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of such Seller’s notice or obtaining actual knowledge of any such change. The Closing Date shall be postponed, if necessary, to afford Purchaser the benefit of the full ten (10) Business Day period. If Sellers have not received any such notice of termination from Purchaser within the ten (10) Business Day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (i). If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Section, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Purchaser and in the event that the direct and proximate cause of the circumstance or circumstances that result in a warranty or representation becoming materially untrue is the action or failure to act by a Seller, then in such event only, such Seller shall be deemed to be in default of this Agreement and Purchaser shall be entitled to invoke the remedies set forth in Section 10.1 below and neither Party shall have any further duty or obligation hereunder except for those that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser elects option (i), then such representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been amended or modified to reflect Purchaser’s actual knowledge (as defined above).
The foregoing representations and warranties are made by each Seller individually and relate only to the Property owned by such Seller. No Seller makes any representations or warranties with respect to any other Seller or the Property owned by any other Seller.
6.2 Covenants and Agreements of Sellers. Each Seller covenants and agrees with Purchaser, from the Effective Date until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement:
(a) Seller shall: (i) operate its Property in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (ii) enter into no new written agreements or understanding with respect to its Property other than new Leases (which are subject to Section 6.2(b) below) (A) prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period except as shall be approved in writing by Purchaser, reasonable approval not to be withheld, and except for ordinary and necessary service contracts with respect to its Property which are terminable by Purchaser without penalty upon not more than thirty (30) days written notice and copies of which are sent to Purchaser before they are executed by such Seller, or (B) after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period; and (iii) fully maintain its Property in at least as good condition and repair as existed on the Effective Date, ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted.

19
copies of such new Leases immediately upon execution thereof. After the Lease Consent Date, Purchaser’s written consent shall be required for all new Leases.
(c) Each Seller shall cause to be maintained in full force property insurance upon the Building and Tangible Personal Property and general liability insurance with respect to damage or injury to persons or property occurring on or relating to operation of its Property in at least such amounts as are maintained by such Seller on the Effective Date.
(d) Each Seller shall pay when due all bills and expenses of the Property.
(e) No Seller shall, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, create or voluntarily permit to be created any liens (which are not paid, bonded or otherwise satisfied to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction) or easements affecting any portion of the Property or the uses thereof.
(f) Each Seller, at no material out of pocket cost to such Seller, shall assist Purchaser in conducting and completing, no later than seventy-four (74) days following the Closing Date, an audit of property-level financials for the Property as specified by Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided such audit shall be at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser. In connection therewith, each Seller agrees to obtain and provide to the auditors any and all data and financial information in the possession of such Seller which is necessary or required by the auditors in connection with their preparation and completion of the foregoing audit, which additional data and financial information shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects to Seller’s Actual Knowledge. The rights and obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Section 6.2(f) shall survive the Closing.
The foregoing covenants are made by each Seller individually and relate only to the Property owned by such Seller. No Seller makes any covenants that are binding upon any other Seller or the Property owned by any other Seller.
6.3 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Purchaser. Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller, or covenants with Seller, as applicable, that:
(a) Purchaser has duly and validly authorized and executed this Agreement, and has full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and, subject to obtaining approval of Purchaser’s board of directors (which approval shall be obtained, if at all, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period), to consummate the Transaction, and the joinder of no Person will be necessary to purchase the Property at Closing.
(b) The execution by Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation by Purchaser or its assigns of the Transaction do not, and at the Closing will not, result in any breach of any of the terms or provisions of or constitute a default or a condition
20

(c) All funds to be used by Purchaser as payment of the Purchase Price at Closing are from sources operating under, and in compliance with, all federal, state and local statutes and regulations and are free of all liens and claims of lien. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates is, nor will they become, a Person with whom United States Persons are restricted from doing business under regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action, and is not and will not engage in any dealings or transactions or be otherwise associated with such Persons.

Purchaser hereby covenants that for at least five years following the Closing and during the time Xxxxxxxx manages the Buildings, the only fees charged for the management, accounting and operation of the Buildings to the Tenants will be those charged by and paid to Xxxxxxxx as further defined in the Management Agreement.

7.1 Conditions to the Purchaser’s Obligations. The obligation of Purchaser to purchase the Portfolio from Sellers is subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions within the time periods set forth in each condition, or, if no such time period is set forth, at or prior to the Closing:
(a) The representations and warranties of Sellers set forth in this Agreement must be true, complete and correct in all material respects at Closing, or shall be deemed modified as provided in Section 6.1 above. In the event of an occurrence after the Effective Date which results in a material breach of a warranty or representation which was true and accurate as of the Effective Date, Sellers shall have until Closing to cure such breach, provided further that if additional time is needed to effect such cure, Closing
22
shall be extended by not more than ten (10) Business Days to permit Sellers to effect such cure.
(b) Sellers shall have delivered to Purchaser at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, either substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D or in such other form as may be prescribed in any relevant Lease, estoppel certificates (the “Tenant Estoppels”) for 80% of all Leases for tenant spaces in each Building, calculated by the number of Tenant Leases without regard to square footage, pursuant to which each such tenant shall certify as of a date within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date all of the matters set forth on the Exhibit D or on the form prescribed in the relevant Lease, as the case may be. In the event that, despite a Seller’s commercially reasonable efforts, such Seller has not obtained all of the Tenant Estoppels by the above stated time, such Seller may elect and Purchaser agrees to accept an Estoppel Certificate executed by such Seller certifying to the matters set forth in Exhibit D, provided a Seller may not substitute its estoppel for that of a Tenant for more than 20% of the Leases in a Building.

Real property taxes and personal property taxes shall be prorated for the year in which the Closing occurs, with each Seller to be responsible for all taxes in respect of prior years and the portion of the current year up to 11:59 p.m. on the day prior to the Closing Date. Each Seller shall pay in full all special assessments against its Property to the Closing Date, whether any or all installments of such assessments are matured or unmatured. In connection with the proration of real property taxes, personal property taxes or installments of assessments, such proration shall be based upon the assessed valuation and tax rate figures for the year in which the Closing occurs to the extent the same are available; provided, that in the event that actual figures (whether for the assessed value of a Property or for the tax rate) for the year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date, the proration shall be made using figures from the preceding year for the figures which are unavailable for the year of Closing, and such item shall be reapportioned and prorated, and the proper party reimbursed, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, which obligation shall survive the Closing for a period (the “Proration Period”) of one (1) year after the Closing Date.
9.2 Rents.
(a) Rents due under Leases, as well as any pre-paid rents, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, with Purchaser entitled to a credit for the rents applicable to the Closing Date and thereafter.
(b) If on the Closing Date any Tenant is in arrears in the payment of any rent under any Lease (the “Delinquent Rent”) payable by it, any Delinquent Rent received by Purchaser and the respective Seller from such Tenant after the Closing shall be applied to amounts due and payable by such Tenant during the following periods in the following order of priority: (A) first, to the period of time on or after the Closing Date, and (B) second, to the period of time before the Closing Date. If Delinquent Rent or any portion thereof received by a Seller or Purchaser after the Closing are due and payable to the other party by reason of this allocation, the appropriate sum, less a proportionate share of any reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses expended in connection with the collection thereof, shall be promptly paid to the other party. The provisions of this Section 9.2(b) shall survive the Closing.

Each Seller shall remain solely responsible for the tenant improvement costs and the cost of completing landlord’s improvement obligations remaining unpaid or unsatisfied under the Leases as of Closing to the extent not credited to Purchaser at the Closing under Section 9.7, and such Seller’s obligation to pay same when due shall be a continuing obligation of such Seller which shall survive the Closing notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein.

A notice, request and other communication shall be deemed to be duly delivered and received (1) if delivered in person or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, when left at the address of the recipient, and (2) if sent by facsimile, upon receipt by the sender of an acknowledgment or transmission report generated by the machine from which the facsimile was sent indicating that the facsimile was sent in its entirety to the recipient’s facsimile number; provided that if a notice, request or other communication is received on a day which is not a Business Day, or after 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on any Business Day, at the addressee’s location, such notice or communication shall be deemed to be duly received by the recipient at 9:00 a.m. on the first Business Day thereafter.
12.4 Entire Agreement; Modifications. This Agreement embodies and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the Transaction, and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations and statements (oral or written) are of no force or effect. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived,
36
modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing 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. This Agreement, although initially drawn by one of the Parties hereto, shall not be construed for or against either party as a result thereof in any dispute pertaining to this Agreement or the Transaction, but this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with language hereof in an effort to reach the result intended thereby.
12.5 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE WITHOUT REGARD TO SUCH STATE’S CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES.
12.6 Captions. The captions in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof.
12.7 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors, and assigns; provided, however, the delivery of the Agreement by one party shall not be binding upon either until both parties have fully executed same.
12.8 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, either electronically or manually, and manually-executed counterparts may be delivered in faxed or scanned electronic form, each of which (whether originally executed or such a faxed or scanned electronic document) shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. In making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one counterpart hereof signed by each of the Parties.
12.9 Time is of the Essence. With respect to all provisions of this Agreement, time is of the essence. However, if the last date of any period which is set out in any provision of this Agreement falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then, in such event, the time of such period shall end on the next day which is a Business Day.
12.10 Waiver of Conditions. Any Party may at any time or times, at its election, waive any of the conditions to its obligations hereunder, but, except as otherwise provided in Sections 7.2 and 7.4, any such waiver shall be effective only if contained in a writing signed by such Party. No waiver by a Party of any breach of this Agreement or of any warranty or representation hereunder by the other Party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach or of warranty or representation by such other Party (whether preceding or succeeding and whether or not of the same or similar nature), and, except as otherwise provided in Sections 7.2 and 7.4, no acceptance of payment or performance by a Party after any breach by the other Party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or of any representation or warranty hereunder by such other Party, whether or not the first Party knows of such breach at the time it accepts such payment or performance. No failure or delay by a Party to exercise any
37
right it may have by reason of the default of the other Party shall operate as a waiver of default or modification of this Agreement or shall prevent the exercise of any right by the first Party while the other Party continues to be so in default.
12.11 Severability. In the event any term or provision of this Agreement be determined by appropriate judicial authority to be illegal or otherwise invalid, such provision shall be given its nearest legal meaning or be construed as deleted as such authority determines, and the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed to be in full force and effect.
12.12 No Recording. Neither party shall record this Agreement or any short form, memorandum or notice thereof in any public or governmental office.
12.13 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation between the Parties under this Agreement, the prevailing party, in addition to those damages and other awards given such party therein, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs at all trial and appellate levels.
12.14 Independent Consideration. Sellers hereby acknowledges the receipt of the Independent Consideration, which amount the Parties bargained for and agreed to as consideration for Purchaser’s exclusive right to inspect and purchase the Property and for Sellers’ execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Independent Consideration is in addition to and independent of any other consideration or payment provided for in this Agreement, is nonrefundable, and it is fully earned and shall be retained by Sellers notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement.
12.15 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not inure to the benefit of any third-party.
12.16 Confidentiality. Neither party hereto shall make public disclosure with respect to this transaction or this Agreement (and the terms hereof) before Closing except: (i) as may be required by Laws or any applicable governmental authorities, or (ii) to such lenders, attorneys, accountants, brokers, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives of either party or of either party’s advisors who have a reasonable need to know such information for the purpose of evaluating and consummating the transaction and/or advising either party, including, without limitation, with respect to the financing of the transaction; and to present or prospective sources of financing.
12.17 Public Announcement. No Party shall have the right to make a public announcement or disclosure regarding the transactions described in this Agreement without the prior approval of the other Party. Seller and Purchaser shall approve the timing, form and substance of any such public announcement or disclosure, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except if a Party is required to make a public announcement or disclosure under applicable law, in which case no such approval by the other Party shall be required.
38
12.18 Exclusive Forum. The parties agree that the state and federal courts sitting in Xxxx County, State of Tennessee, and the appropriate appellate courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction for the resolution of any and all disputes arising under or relating to this Agreement or the documents executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement.
12.19 1031 Exchange. All of the entities comprising Sellers and Purchaser may consummate the sale of the Property as part of a so called like kind exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to §1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provided that (i) all costs, fees, and expenses attendant to the Exchange shall be the sole responsibility of the party consummating the Exchange; (ii) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason for the Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of the Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to Sellers’ obligations and covenants under this Agreement; and (iii) neither Purchaser nor Sellers or any entity comprising Sellers shall be required to acquire or hold title to any real property other than the Property for purposes of consummating the Exchange. Neither Purchaser nor Sellers nor any entity comprising Sellers shall, by this Agreement or acquiescence to an Exchange, (1) have its rights under this Agreement, including (without limitation) those that survive Closing, affected or diminished in any manner, or (2) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the other party that the Exchange in fact complies with §1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
12.20 Suite 230. The Parties agree and acknowledge that as of the Effective Date, JEP does not own Suite 230, but rather has only a contractual right to purchase Suite 230 and that the Parties intend that JEP shall acquire fee title to Xxxxx 000 prior to Closing. Accordingly, the Parties agree and acknowledge that none of the representations made by JEP in Section 6.1 of this Agreement shall be effective with respect to Suite 230 as of the Effective Date. If JEP acquires fee title to Xxxxx 000 prior to the Closing Date and delivers a certificate to Purchaser making the same representations with respect to Suite 230 that the Sellers have made in Section 6.1 with respect to the Portfolio (the “JEP Closing Certificate”), then, subject to Purchaser’s rights as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be obligated to take title to Suite 230. In the event that JEP does not own Suite 230 as of the Closing Date or is not willing to deliver the JEP Closing Certificate, each of Sellers and Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to Suite 230 only (but not with respect to the remainder of the Portfolio), in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 dollars ($350,000.00) and the Parties rights with respect to the remainder of the Portfolio shall be unaffected. JEP shall be obligated to deliver a JEP Closing Certificate unless JEP has a bona fide, good faith belief that any representation set forth in Section 6.1 is untrue. While the representations contained herein are not to be deemed to apply to Suite 230 prior to the date on which JEP acquires title to Suite 230, in the event that Purchaser discovers any state of facts which would make any representation from any Seller untrue were such representation to be applicable to Suite 230, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to Suite 230 only (but not with respect to the remainder of the Portfolio), in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 dollars ($350,000.00) and the Parties rights with respect to the remainder of the Portfolio shall be unaffected. At all times prior to Closing, JEP shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in Purchaser’s due diligence investigations with respect to Suite 230, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Cherokee to reasonably
39
cooperate with Purchaser in Purchaser’s due diligence investigations with respect to Suite 230. To the extent that JEP obtains Seller’s Actual Knowledge of any material fact or condition relating to Suite 230 which would (i) make any representation untrue were such representation applicable to Suite 230, or (ii) the existence of which JEP could reasonably anticipate would impact Purchaser’s desire to acquire title to Suite 230, JEP shall promptly disclose such fact or condition to Purchaser in writing.
ARTICLE XIII.
INDEMNIFICATION AND RELEASE
13.1 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 13 and any other express provision of this Agreement, Sellers shall indemnify, save, insure, pay, defend and hold harmless Purchaser’s Indemnitees from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Purchaser’s Indemnitee to the extent resulting from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of any Seller in this Agreement, (ii) any breach by any Seller of any of its covenants or obligation under this Agreement, and (iii) any liabilities retained by any Seller pursuant hereto.
13.2 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 13, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller’s Indemnitees from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by Seller’s Indemnitee the extent resulting from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser in this Agreement, (ii) any breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) any liabilities assumed by Purchaser pursuant hereto.
13.3 Indemnification Procedure. Notice of Indemnification Claim. If any of Seller’s Indemnitees or Purchaser’s Indemnitees (as the case may be) (each, an “Indemnitee”) is entitled to defense or indemnification under any other provision in this Agreement (each, an “Indemnification Claim”), the Party required to provide defense indemnification to such Indemnitee (the “Indemnitor”) shall not be obligated to defend, indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee unless and until such Indemnitee provides written notice to such Indemnitor promptly after such Indemnitee has actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances on which such Indemnification Claim is based or a Third-Party Claim is made on which such Indemnification Claim is based, describing in reasonable detail such facts and circumstances or Third-Party Claim with respect to such Indemnification Claim.
(b) Resolution of Indemnification Claim Not Involving Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnification Claim does not involve a Third-Party Claim and is disputed by the Indemnitor, the dispute shall be resolved by litigation or other means of alternative dispute resolution as the Parties may agree in writing.
(c) Resolution of Indemnification Claim Involving Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnification Claim involves a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, at its cost and expense, and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim, provided that (i) the counsel for the Indemnitor who shall
40
conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee (unless selected by Indemnitor’s insurance company, in which case Indemnitee shall have no such approval rights), (ii) the Indemnitee, at its cost and expense, may participate in, but shall not control, the defense of such Third-Party Claim, and (iii) the Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement or other agreement which requires any performance by the Indemnitee, other than the payment of money which shall be paid by the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee shall cooperate in good faith with Indemnitor’s defense of the Third-Party Claim and shall not enter into any settlement agreement or consent to any judgment with respect to the Third-Party Claim, without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent. If the Indemnitor elects not to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim in an effective and cost-efficient manner.
(d) Accrual of Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall have no right to indemnification against the Indemnitor for any Indemnification Claim which (i) does not involve a Third-Party Claim but is disputed by Indemnitor until such time as such dispute is resolved by written agreement or by a final, non-appealable order of court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) which involves a Third-Party Claim until such time as such Third-Party Claim is concluded, including any appeals with respect thereto in the case of a claim in litigation.
(e) Limitations on Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) Seller shall have no indemnification obligation with respect to any Indemnification Claim unless the amount of such Indemnification Claim, individually or when taken together with all other Indemnification Claims, is at least equal to One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000) (the “Indemnity Floor”), and (b) Seller shall not be obligated to incur costs in excess of Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) in performing its obligations under this Article XIIIARTICLE XIII. For the avoidance of doubt, if the aggregate amount of Indemnification Claims exceeds the Indemnity Floor, the Indemnitor shall indemnify the Indemnitee for the entire amount of such Indemnification Claims (up to the Indemnity Cap). Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, in no event shall an Indemnitor have any indemnification obligation if (y) prior to Closing, the Indemnitee had actual knowledge of the facts upon which any Indemnification Claim is based, or (z) such facts are set forth in the Disclosure Schedule attached hereto.
13.4 Guarantor Guaranty. Guarantor is an Affiliate of Sellers and, as a result thereof, Guarantor receives a direct financial benefit from the Transaction. In consideration of the foregoing benefit, the Purchase Price and other good and valuable consideration paid to Sellers at Closing pursuant to this Agreement and as a further inducement for Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, Guarantor, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, subject to the terms herein, and for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date, the full and timely performance of the indemnification obligations, covenants and conditions of Sellers pursuant to this Article 13. The provisions of this Section 13.4 shall expressly survive the Closing.
41
13.5 Exclusive Remedy for Indemnification Loss. Except for claims based on fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, for which the Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or equity, the indemnification provisions in this ARTICLE XIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnitee with respect to any claim for Indemnification Loss arising from or in connection with this Agreement.
