or control, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall

limitation on the foregoing, Seller shall make any other documents, files and
information reasonably requested by Buyer concerning the Property and which are

parties.
S-5
4. CONTINGENCIES. Buyer’s
obligation under this Agreement to purchase the Property and consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby is subject to and conditioned upon, among other
things, the satisfaction or waiver by Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion
and in the manner hereinafter provided, of each of the contingencies
(individually, a “Contingency”, and
collectively, the “Contingencies”) set
forth in this Section
4 in each case within the Contingency Period.
A. Property
Review. On or before the expiration of the Contingency Period,
Buyer shall have completed and shall be satisfied, in Buyer’s sole and absolute
discretion, with Buyer’s due diligence review, investigation and analysis of the
Property (the “Due
Diligence Review”), which may include, but shall not necessarily be
limited to, Buyer’s review, investigation and analysis of: (i) all of the
Documents; (ii) the physical condition of the Property; (iii) the adequacy and
availability at reasonable prices of all necessary utilities; (iv) the adequacy
and suitability of applicable zoning and Approvals; (v) the Leases and the
obligations from and to the tenants thereunder; (vi) market feasibility studies;
and (viii) such tests and inspections of the Property as Buyer may deem
necessary or desirable.
B. Environmental
Audit. On or before the expiration of the Contingency Period,
Buyer shall have completed to the satisfaction of Buyer, in its sole and
absolute discretion, an environmental audit and assessment of the Real Property
(the “Environmental
Audit”), including but not limited to the performance of such
non-invasive tests and inspections as Buyer may deem necessary or desirable in
order to determine the presence or absence of any Hazardous Materials (as
defined in Section
12(I) hereof). Any other tests requested to be conducted on
the Property by Buyer shall be subject Sections 15(E) and (F),
below.
C. Tenant
Estoppels. Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain signed
Estoppel Certificate(s) and deliver the same to Buyer, on or before the
expiration of the Contingency Period, substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit C
(the “Tenant
Estoppel”), executed by each tenant under each of the Leases with respect
to the status of such Lease, rent payments, tenant improvements, lease defaults
and other matters relating to such Lease, and disclosing no defaults, disputes
or other matters objectionable to Buyer in its sole discretion.
The
foregoing Due Diligence Review, Environmental Audit and Tenant Estoppel
Contingencies are solely for Buyer’s benefit and only Buyer may determine such
Contingencies to be satisfied or waived. Buyer shall have the Contingency Period
in which to satisfy or waive such Contingencies. A Contingency shall
be deemed to have been satisfied or waived by Buyer unless prior to the
expiration of the Contingency Period Buyer shall deliver to Seller a written
notice to terminate this Contract (the “Termination
Notice”).
If Buyer
does not provide a Termination Notice, then the Contingencies shall be deemed
satisfied or waived and the parties shall, subject to the satisfaction of all
other terms and conditions applicable to the respective parties’ obligations
hereunder, be obligated to proceed to Closing. If Buyer provides a
Termination Notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period,
then this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect at the
end of the Contingency Period without the further action of either
party. Upon any such termination, Escrow Holder shall return the
Deposit to Buyer, and the parties shall have no obligation to proceed to
Closing.
S-6
With
respect to the Existing Contracts only, not less than five (5) days prior to the
expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer shall furnish Seller with a written
notice of the contracts and agreements (the “Approved Contracts “)
which Buyer has elected to assume at the Closing. All Existing
Contracts not included in any such notice shall be excluded from the Property to
be conveyed to Buyer and are herein respectively referred to as the “Rejected
Contracts”. Prior to the end of the Contingency Period, Seller
shall inform Buyer of those of the Rejected Contracts that Seller elects, at
Seller’s sole cost and expense, to terminate on or before the Closing Date and
shall deliver to Buyer evidence satisfactory to Buyer of Seller’s termination on
or prior to Closing of all Rejected Contracts so identified by
Seller. All other Rejected Contracts shall be accepted by Buyer
should Buyer elect to waive the Contingencies specified above. If
Buyer fails to give the notice described in this paragraph within the
Contingency Period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to assume all
contracts relating to the Property.
D. In
the event that Buyer exercises its right to cancel this Agreement pursuant to
Section 4, or for any other cause, Buyer shall immediately return to Seller all
documents, reports, studies, soils reports, environmental reports,
investigations, contracts, and all other documents delivered to Buyer pursuant
to this Agreement. Furthermore, Buyer shall, to the extent it has the
legal right to do so, deliver copies of, and assign and transfer to Seller, all
documents, reports, studies, soils reports, environmental reports,
investigations, contracts, and other documents which have been prepared and
generated in connection with Buyer’s investigations pursuant to this Section 4,
except for any items which are subject to the attorney-client work product or
privilege, at no cost to Seller.
5. TITLE
COMMITMENT; SURVEY; SEARCHES. Buyer’s obligation to purchase
the Property and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby shall also
be subject to and conditioned upon Buyer’s having approved the condition of
title to the Property and a survey of the Real Property in the manner provided
for in this Section
5.
A. Title
Commitment. Buyer shall cause the Title Company to deliver a
commitment (the “Title
Commitment”) to Buyer for the Title Policy (as defined in Section 6 hereof),
issued by the Title Company showing Seller as the owner of the Real Property,
together with legible copies of all documents (“Exception Documents”)
referred to in Schedule B of the Title Commitment.
B. Survey. Buyer
shall obtain a current ALTA survey (the “Survey”) of the Real
Property at Buyer’s cost and expense.
C. Searches. Buyer
may obtain current UCC, tax lien and judgment searches with respect to Seller
regarding liens, security interests and adverse claims affecting the Seller’s
interest in the Real Property and/or the Personal Property (collectively, “Searches”).
S-7
D. Permitted/Unpermitted
Exceptions. Buyer shall have the right, up until
on or before ten (10) days before the end of the Contingency Period, to object
in writing (“Buyer’s
Exception Notice”) to any title matters that are not Permitted Exceptions
which are disclosed in the Title Commitment or Survey (herein collectively
called "Liens"). Buyer
shall have the right to amend Buyer’s Exception Notice to object to any title
matters that are not Permitted Exceptions which are disclosed in any
supplemental reports or updates to the Commitment or Survey delivered to Buyer
after the end of the Contingency Period provided that Buyer objects to the same
within five (5) days after Buyer’s receipt of the applicable supplemental
reports or updates to the Commitment but in no event after
Closing. Unless Buyer shall timely object to the Liens, such Liens
shall be deemed to constitute additional Permitted Exceptions. Any
exceptions which are timely objected to by Buyer shall be herein collectively
called the "Title
Objections." Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to
remove or cause to be removed, or insured over, at its expense, any Title
Objections, and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing
(not to exceed ten (10) days) for the purpose of such removal. Except
as set forth below with regard to the Financial Encumbrances, Seller may elect
not to remove some or all of the Title Objections. Seller shall
notify Buyer in writing within five (5) days after receipt of any Buyer's
Exception Notice of Title Objections whether Seller elects to remove any or all
of the Title Objections. If Seller is unable to remove or endorse
over any Title Objections prior to the Closing in a manner satisfactory to Buyer
in its sole and absolute discretion, or if Seller elects not to remove one or
more Title Objections, Buyer may elect to either (a) terminate this Agreement by
giving written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent prior to the Closing, in which
event the Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have
no further rights or obligations hereunder, or (b) waive such Title Objections,
in which event such Title Objections shall be deemed additional "Permitted
Exceptions" and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction
of or credit against the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, any Lien which is each financial encumbrance such
as a mortgage, deed of trust, or other debt security, attachment, judgment, lien
for delinquent real estate taxes and delinquent assessments, mechanic’s or
materialmen’s lien, which is outstanding against the Property, or any part
thereof, that is revealed or disclosed by the Title Commitment and/or the
Searches (herein such matters are referred to as “Financial
Encumbrances”) shall automatically, and without any requirement for Buyer
to provide notice thereof to Seller, be deemed not to be a Title Objection and
Seller hereby covenants to remove all such Financial Encumbrances on or before
the Closing Date.
E. Approved Title and
Survey. The condition of title as approved by Buyer in
accordance with this Section 5 is referred
to herein as the “Approved Title” and
the Survey as approved by Buyer in accordance with this Section 5 is referred
to herein as the “Approved
Survey”.
6. DEED;
TITLE POLICY. Seller shall convey the Real Property to Buyer
by a grant deed in the form of Exhibit D attached
hereto (the “Deed”). As
a condition to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the purchase of the Property and
other transactions contemplated hereby, as of Closing the Title Company shall be
unconditionally committed to issue to Buyer an ALTA Form B (revised 1992)
extended coverage Owner’s Title Insurance Policy issued by the Title Company,
dated the Closing Date and naming Buyer (or its nominee or assignee, if
applicable) as the insured, in the face amount of the Purchase Price, showing
Buyer (or its nominee or assignee, as applicable) to be the owner in fee simple
of the Real Property, subject to no exceptions other than Permitted Exceptions,
together with such endorsements as required by Buyer in the Buyer's Exception
Notice, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer (the "Title
Policy"). Buyer shall be entitled to request that the Title Company
provide such endorsements (or amendments) to the Title Policy as Buyer may
reasonably require, provided that (a) such 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 endorsements and, if Buyer is unable to obtain
such endorsements, Buyer shall nevertheless be obligated to proceed to close the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement 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.
S-8
7. PRORATIONS. The
following prorations shall be made between Seller and Buyer on the Closing Date,
computed with income and expenses for the Closing Date itself being allocated to
Buyer:
A. Rents Payable Under
Leases. The word “Rents” as used herein
shall be deemed to include, without limitation, (i) fixed monthly rents and
other fixed charges payable by the tenants under the Leases, (ii) any amounts
payable by the tenants by reason of provisions of the Leases relating to
escalations and pass-throughs of operating expenses and taxes, and adjustments
for increases in the Consumer Price Index and the like, (iii) any percentage
rents payable by the tenants under the Leases, if any, and (iv) rents or other
charges payable by the tenants under the Leases for services of any kind
provided to it (including, without limitation, making of repairs and
improvements, the furnishing of heat, electricity, gas, water, other utilities
and air-conditioning) for which a separate charge is made.
Seller
shall collect and retain all Rents due and payable prior to the Closing and
Buyer shall receive a credit for all such Rents allocable to the period from and
after the Closing Date. Rents collected subsequent to the Closing
Date, net of costs of collection, if any, shall first be applied to such
tenant’s current Rent obligations and then to past due amounts in the reverse
order in which they were due. Subject to the foregoing, any such
Rents collected by Buyer shall, to the extent properly allocable to periods
prior to the Closing, be paid, promptly after receipt, to the Seller and any
portion thereof properly allocable to periods from and after the Closing Date
shall be retained by Buyer. The term “costs of collection”
shall mean and include reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable
out-of-pocket costs incurred in collecting any Rents.
Seller
shall not be permitted after the Closing Date to institute proceedings against
the respective tenant to collect any past due Rents for periods prior to the
Closing Date; provided that Buyer agrees to use commercially
reasonable efforts to collect such Rents and provided further that in no event
shall Buyer be obligated to terminate a Lease or dispossess a tenant after
Closing for failure to pay such Rents. If any past due Rents are not collected
from the tenants owing such delinquent amounts, Buyer shall not be liable to
Seller for any such amounts.
Any
advance or prepaid rental payments or deposits paid by tenants prior to the
Closing Date and applicable to the period of time subsequent to the Closing Date
and any unapplied security deposits or other amounts paid by tenants, together
with any interest on both thereof to the extent such interest is due to tenants
shall be credited to Buyer on the Closing Date; provided, however, that such
amounts shall be reduced by any amounts due Seller from such security deposits
prior to Closing in accordance with the respective Leases. Buyer
shall be bound by any obligation under a Lease to refund a security deposit
credited to Buyer as aforesaid, except to the extent that the amount of such
security deposit has been reduced due to any credit allowed Seller pursuant to
the terms of the applicable Lease.
S-9
No credit
shall be given either party for accrued and unpaid Rent or any other non-current
sums due from the tenants until said sums are paid. In addition, if
as of the Closing Date there exists any rebate, rental concession, free-rent
period, credit, setoff or rent reduction under or with respect to any Lease
which extends beyond the Closing Date, then the prorations in favor of Buyer
hereunder shall include an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all such
rebates, rental concessions, free-rent periods, credits, setoffs or rent
reductions applicable to any period or periods after the Closing
Date.
In the
event that subsequent to the Closing Buyer receives checks or other instruments
or items payable to Seller with respect to the Property, Seller hereby
authorizes Buyer to endorse Seller’s name thereon without recourse and apply the
proceeds in accordance with the foregoing; similarly, any checks or other
payment items received by Seller subsequent to the Closing with respect to the
Property shall be endorsed by Seller without recourse and promptly forwarded to
Buyer, who shall apply the proceeds thereof in accordance with the
foregoing.
B. Rent
Adjustments. Pending final adjustments and prorations, as
provided in the preceding Paragraph, Seller shall be paid all adjustment rent or
escalation payments, if any, payable under the Leases prior to Closing for taxes
and operating expenses for the Property, and Buyer shall retain all such rent or
payments payable after Closing. As soon as all such taxes and
operating expenses passed through under the Leases for the calendar year 2007
are finally determined, the adjustment rent or escalation payments paid under
the Leases for calendar year 2007 shall be reprorated between Seller and Buyer
based on their respective share of such taxes and expenses for the calendar year
2007, and an appropriate payment shall be made from one party to the other, as
appropriate.
C. Taxes and
Assessments. Accrued general real estate taxes not yet due and
payable shall be prorated up to and including the Closing Date on the basis of
latest tax rate applied to the latest assessed valuation for the Real
Property. Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for all amounts
paid by the tenants under the Leases prior to the Closing for the payment of
such taxes. Buyer shall pay all such taxes when they become due and
payable and, promptly thereafter, the parties shall re-prorate taxes and, if any
amount other than the amount that was used as the basis of the Closing
prorations is due to the taxing authority, an appropriate payment shall promptly
be made from one party to the other on the basis of the amount of taxes then due
and payable. Prior to or at Closing, Seller shall pay or have paid all real
estate tax bills which are due and payable prior to or on the Closing Date and
shall furnish evidence of such payment to Buyer and the Title
Company.
D. Utilities. Charges
for utilities and fuel, including, without limitation, steam, water,
electricity, gas and oil, except to the extent paid directly by the Tenants,
shall be prorated.
E. Other
Prorations. Charges payable under the Approved Contracts
assigned to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall be prorated as of the Closing
Date. Buyer shall also receive a credit equal to any past due
payments (including interest or penalties due) from Seller to any of the other
parties to the Approved Contracts.
S-10
Seller
and Buyer agree that (1) none of the insurance policies relating to the Property
will be assigned to Buyer (and Seller shall pay any cancellation fees resulting
from the termination of such policies), and (2) no employees of Seller
performing services at the Property shall be employed by
Buyer. Accordingly, there will be no prorations for insurance
premiums or payroll, and Seller shall be liable for all premiums and payroll
expenses in connection with the foregoing.
If Seller
has made any deposit with any utility company or local authority in connection
with services to be provided to the Property, such deposits shall, if Buyer so
requests and if assignable, be assigned to Buyer at the Closing and Seller shall
receive a credit equal to the amounts so assigned.
The
prorations and credits provided for above shall be made on the basis of a
written statement prepared by Seller and approved by Buyer. At least
five (5) Working Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller, or Escrow Agent using
information provided by Seller, shall provide Buyer with a preliminary proration
and closing statement, together with backup documentation substantiating the
prorations provided for and the calculations performed, in order that Buyer may
verify Seller’s methods and calculations. In the event any prorations
made pursuant hereto shall prove incorrect for any reason whatsoever, either
party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same provided that it
makes written demand on the other within 18 months after the Closing
Date.
8. CLOSING.
A. Closing
Requirements. The consummation of the sale and purchase of the
Property (the “Closing”) shall be
effected through a closing escrow which shall be established by Seller and Buyer
with the Escrow Holder and the Title Company. All documents to be
delivered at the Closing shall be delivered to the Escrow Holder and all
payments to be made shall be delivered on or before the Closing Date to the
Title Company as provided herein, in escrow, pending the recording of the Deed
(following a datedown of title to the time of recording which does not disclose
any new matter affecting title to the Real Property which is not acceptable to
Buyer), and other instruments as are required to be recorded to effect the
transfer and conveyance of the Property, upon which recording all instruments

connection, Buyer, on behalf of itself, its successors, assigns and
successors-in-interest and such other persons and entities, waives the benefit
of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as
follows:
"A
general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or
suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if
known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the
debtor."
S-22
Buyer
further hereby assumes the risk of changes in applicable laws and regulations
relating to past, present and future environmental conditions on the Property,
and the risk that adverse physical characteristics and conditions, including
without limitation the presence of Hazardous Materials or other contaminants,
may not be revealed by its investigation.
15. ACTIONS
AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE. The parties covenant to do the
following through the Closing Date:
A. Title. From
and after the end of the Effective Date, Seller shall not make or permit any
changes to the Property or to the condition of title to the Property that would
change the Approved Title or the Approved Survey except with Buyer’s advance
written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. In
this regard, Seller shall not sell, assign or create any right, title or
interest in the Property, or any part thereof, or create, or permit to exist,
any lien, encumbrance or charge thereon, without the prior consent of Buyer,
which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion.
B. Maintenance and Operation of
Property. From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall
maintain existing insurance coverage in full force and effect, and shall operate
and maintain the Property in substantially the same manner as operated and
maintained as of the Effective Date, shall not delay or defer any repair or
maintenance item, and shall pay all bills and obligations arising from the
Property as payment becomes due. Seller shall not make any material
alterations to or upon the Property, except with Buyer’s advance written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
C. Leases and
Agreements. From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall
not amend or terminate any of the Leases or any of the Approved Contracts, shall
not make any other agreement concerning the Property, including, without
limitation, any new leases of space in the Property, without Buyer’s advance
written consent, and shall perform all of its obligations under the Leases and
Approved Contracts. At Closing, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for
leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs relating to any new lease
approved in writing by Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer approved all such
costs in writing at the time Buyer’s approval of such new lease was
obtained.
D. Representations and
Warranties. Each party shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to prevent any act or omission that would render any of its
representations and warranties herein untrue or misleading, and shall
immediately notify the other party if such act or omission occurs.
E. Entry. As
of the Effective Date, during normal business hours prior to the Closing, and
subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases, Buyer and its agents,
employees and contractors (collectively, “Permittees”) shall
have reasonable access to the Property at agreed upon times for agreed upon
purposes on at least forty-eight (48) hours prior notice to
Seller. Seller shall make reasonable efforts to have an agent
available to accompany Buyer or any Permittees, and in all events Seller shall
have the right to have a representative present during any visits to or
inspections of the Property by Buyer or any Permittees. Buyer will
conduct its Due Diligence in a manner which is not disruptive to Tenants or the
normal operation of the Property. Buyer will not enter the Property
or contact any governmental or quasi-governmental entities, without Seller's
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Neither Buyer nor any Permittees may contact any Tenants at
the Real Property or make any inquiries of such Tenants which in any way relate
to the Property or to Seller without Seller's prior written consent. In the
event Buyer desires to conduct any physically intrusive Due Diligence, such as
sampling of soils, other media, building materials, or the like, Buyer will
identify in writing exactly what procedures Buyer desires to perform and request
Seller's express written consent. Upon receipt of Seller's written
consent, Buyer and all Permittees shall, in performing such Due Diligence,
comply with the agreed upon procedures and with any and all laws, ordinances,
rules, and regulations applicable to the Property and will not engage in any
activities which would violate any permit, license, or environmental law or
regulation. Buyer and any Permittees
will: (a) maintain comprehensive general liability (occurrence)
insurance in terms and amounts (at least $1,000,000) satisfactory to Seller
covering any accident arising in connection with the presence of Buyer or the
other Permittees on the Property or Improvements, and deliver a certificate of
insurance, which names the Seller and the Property Manager as additional
insureds thereunder verifying such coverage to Seller prior to entry upon the
Real Property or Improvements; (b) promptly pay when due the costs of all
entry and inspections and examinations done with regard to the Property; and
(c) restore the Property and Improvements to the condition in which the
same were found before any such entry upon the Property and inspection or
examination was undertaken.
S-23
In addition, Buyer shall defend,
indemnify, and hold harmless Seller, the Property and Seller's managers,
officers, partners, shareholders, trustees, beneficiaries, and members, as
applicable, from and against all losses, costs, damages, claims, and liabilities
(whether arising out of injury or death to persons or damage to the Property or
otherwise) including, but not limited to, costs of remediation, restoration and
other similar activities, mechanic's and materialmen's liens and attorneys'
fees, arising out of or in connection with Buyer's Due Diligence, Buyer's breach
of its obligations under Section 15 E. or Buyer's or any Permittee's entry upon
the Property, unless any of the same are caused solely by the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of Seller, Seller's managers, officers, partners,
shareholders, trustees, or members, as applicable. The provisions of
this Section 15 E. shall survive the Closing or, if the purchase and sale
is not consummated, any termination of this Agreement and shall not be subject
to any survival limitation otherwise set forth in this Agreement.
F. Applications. Following
the Effective Date, Seller shall not make application to any governmental entity
for any Approvals or any change in the zoning, affecting the Real Property,
except in each case with Buyer’s advance written consent.
16. DAMAGE TO
PROPERTY; TAKING.
A. Taking. If
the Property or any material part thereof is taken or is the subject of a notice
of taking by eminent domain prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly
notify Buyer. Within ten (10) Working Days after such notice, Buyer
shall give notice that it elects to (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event
Escrow Holder shall return the entire Deposit to Buyer and the parties shall
have no further obligations hereunder, or (b) proceed to Closing, in which event
Seller shall pay over and assign to Buyer all awards recovered or recoverable on
account of such taking. If Buyer elects to proceed under clause (b)
above, Seller shall not compromise, settle, or adjust any claims to such awards
without Buyer’s prior written consent.
S-24
B. Damage. Risk
of loss up to and including the Closing Date shall be borne by
Seller. In the event of any material damage to or destruction of the
Property or any portion thereof, Buyer may, at its option, by notice to Seller
given within ten (10) Working Days after Seller notifies Buyer in writing of
such damage or destruction (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended,
but not beyond the Outside Closing Date, to give Buyer the full 10-day period to
make such election): (i) terminate this Agreement, in which
event Escrow Holder shall return the entire Deposit to Buyer and the parties
shall have no further obligations hereunder (except the indemnity obligations of
each party, which shall survive indefinitely and any other obligations set forth
herein which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement), or
(ii) proceed under this Agreement with no adjustment of the Purchase Price,
receive any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to
any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage
or destruction and assume responsibility for such repair, and Buyer shall
receive a credit at Closing for any deductible, uninsured or coinsured amount
under said insurance policies. If Buyer elects (ii) above, Seller
will cooperate (at no material expense to Seller) with Buyer in obtaining the
insurance proceeds and such agreements from Seller’s insurers. If the
Property is not materially damaged, then the parties shall proceed to Closing as
provided in clause (ii) above. “Material damage” and
“Materially
damaged” means damage reasonably exceeding $250,000, or that entitles any
tenant of the Property to terminate its lease, or which, in Buyer’s or Seller’s
reasonable estimation, will take longer than 180 days to repair.
C. Waiver. Failure
of Buyer to timely provide a notice of election in accordance with this Section 15, shall be
deemed an election by Buyer to terminate this Agreement. Seller and
Buyer each expressly waive the provisions of California Civil Section 1662 and
hereby agree that the provisions of this Section 15 shall
govern the parties’ obligations in the event of any damage or destruction to the
Property or the taking of all or any part of the Real Property.
17. SURVIVAL. All
representations and warranties and indemnitees by the respective parties
contained herein are intended to and shall remain true and correct as of the
Closing, shall be deemed to be material, and shall survive the delivery of the
Deed and transfer of title for a period of six (6) months or such longer period
if specifically specified therefore. Any covenants and conditions
herein that must be operative after delivery of the Deed to be effective shall
be so operative and shall not be deemed to have been merged in the
Deed.
18. SUCCESSORS
AND ASSIGNS. The terms, covenants and conditions herein
contained shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and
assigns of the parties hereto. This Agreement and all rights of Buyer
hereunder may be assigned or transferred by Buyer to any of its affiliates, in
which event all instruments, documents and agreements required to be delivered
to the Buyer hereunder shall be delivered to, and run for the benefit of such
entity, and such entity (rather than Buyer) shall execute and deliver any
instruments, documents or agreements required to be executed and delivered by
Buyer hereunder; provided, however, that in the event of any such assignment to
an affiliate, the original Buyer hereunder shall remain fully liable and
responsible for the performance of Buyer’s obligations, and for any indemnities
of Buyer hereunder.
S-25
19. NO THIRD
PARTY BENEFITS. This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of
the Buyer and Seller and their respective successors and assigns, and no other
person shall have any right or remedy or other legal interest of any kind under
or by reason of this Agreement.
20. COUNTERPARTS. This
Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts and shall be valid and
binding with the same force and effect as if all parties had executed the same
Agreement.
21. ENTIRE
AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains all of the covenants,
conditions and agreements between the parties and shall supersede all prior
correspondence, agreements and understandings, both verbal and
written. The parties intend that this Agreement constitutes the
complete and exclusive statement of its terms and that no extrinsic evidence may
be introduced in any proceeding involving this Agreement.
22. NOTICES. All
notices required or permitted to be given pursuant to the terms hereof shall be
in writing and shall be delivered either by (a) certified mail, return receipt
requested, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered three (3) Working Days
after deposit, postage prepaid in the U.S. mail, (b) a reputable messenger
service or a nationally recognized overnight courier, in which case notice shall
be deemed delivered one (1) Working Day after deposit with such messenger or
courier, (c) facsimile or other telecopy transmission (followed with “hard copy”
sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier or mail as aforesaid), in
which case notice shall be deemed delivered when the facsimile or other telecopy
transmission is received (as evidenced by the sender’s electronic confirmation),
or (d) personal delivery with receipt acknowledged in writing, in which case
notice shall be deemed delivered when received. All such notices shall be
addressed to Buyer to the attention of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx at Buyer’s Address, with a
copy to Xxxxxx Godward, One Freedom Square, Reston Town Center, 00000 Xxxxxxx
Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000-0000, Attn: Xxxx Xxxxx, Esq.,
Facsimile Number (000) 000-0000, to Seller at Seller’s Address, with a copy to

Escrow Holder at Escrow Holder’s Address. The foregoing addresses may
be changed by written notice to the other party as provided herein.
23. CONSTRUCTION
OF AGREEMENT. In construing this Agreement, all headings and
titles are for the convenience of the parties only and shall not be considered a
part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, the
singular shall include the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine
and vice versa. This Agreement shall not be construed as if prepared
by one of the parties, but rather according to its fair meaning as a whole, as
if both parties had prepared it. All Exhibits attached hereto are
incorporated in this Agreement by reference thereto.
24. TIME. Time
is of the essence of every provision herein contained. Whenever the
date or deadline for any action to be taken is not a Working Day, the relevant
date or deadline shall be the next Working Day.
S-26
25. APPLICABLE
LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of
the state in which the Real Property is located.
26. NO ORAL
MODIFICATION OR WAIVER. This Agreement may not be changed or
amended orally, but only by an agreement in writing. No waiver shall
be effective hereunder unless given in writing, and waiver shall not be inferred
from any conduct of either party.
27. MARKETING
OF PROPERTY. Unless and until this Agreement is duly
terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, Seller shall not enter into any
negotiations, understandings or agreements with any party other than Buyer
relating to the sale, transfer or other disposition of the Property or any
portion thereof without a written disclosure and acknowledgement that such
negotiations, understandings or agreements are fully subordinate and subject to
the outcome of this Agreement (in other words, such negotiations, understandings
or agreements shall not be effective or binding unless this Agreement is validly
terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof) and Seller and the Broker
shall not offer the Property or any portion thereof for sale to any other party
without such written disclosure and acknowledgement.
28. BROKERAGE
COMMISSION. Buyer and Seller each represents and warrants to
the other that it has not dealt with any third party (other than Buyer's Broker)
in a manner which would obligate the other to pay any brokerage commission,
finder’s fee or other compensation due or payable with respect to the
transaction contemplated hereby other than a commission to be paid to Buyer's
Broker by Buyer at Closing, pursuant to a separate agreement. Buyer
shall indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from and against any losses,
damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and
costs) incurred by Seller by reason of any actual or alleged breach or
inaccuracy of the Buyer’s representations and warranties contained in this Section 28. Seller
shall indemnify, defend, and hold Buyer harmless from and against any losses,
damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and
costs) incurred by Buyer by reason of any actual or alleged breach or inaccuracy
of Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Section
28. The provisions of this Section 28 shall
survive the Closing.
29. INTENTIONALLY
DELETED.
30. LIMITED
LIABILITY. The
representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 12,
together with Seller's liability for any breach before Closing of any of
Seller's interim operating covenants under Section 15, will
survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months. Buyer will not
have any right to bring any action against Seller as a result of any untruth or
inaccuracy of such representations and warranties, or any such breach, unless
and until the aggregate amount of all liability and losses arising out of any
such untruth or inaccuracy, or any such breach, exceeds $20,000. In
addition, in no event will Seller's liability for all such breaches exceed, in
the aggregate, $100,000. Seller shall have no liability with respect
to any of Seller's representations, warranties and covenants herein if, prior to
the Closing, Buyer has actual knowledge of any breach of a representation,
warranty or covenant of Seller herein, or Buyer obtains actual knowledge (from
whatever source, including, without limitation, any tenant estoppel
certificates, as a result of Buyer's Due Diligence or written disclosure by
Seller or Seller's agents and employees) that contradicts any of Seller's
representations and warranties herein, and Buyer nevertheless consummates the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement. All other
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made or undertaken by
Seller under this Agreement, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, will
not survive the Closing Date but will be merged into the Deed and other Closing
documents delivered at the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Seller acknowledges that potential post closing liability could exist with
respect to matters which survive the Closing or are contained in documents
delivered at Closing for the periods specified in this Agreement or
therein.
S-27
31. CONFIDENTIALITY. Prior to the
Closing Date, Seller and its representatives, legal counsel, engineers, and
other consultants, shall not disclose Buyer’s interest in the Property to any
third party without Buyer’s prior written consent, and Buyer shall not disclose
any other the terms of this Agreement except as necessary to its attorneys,
accountants, lenders or others related to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereunder, or except as required by Seller for compliance with
applicable laws or governmental regulations.
32. LIKE-KIND
EXCHANGE. Buyer and Seller
understand and acknowledge that a material inducement to the other party’s entry
into this Agreement is the right of each party (or constituent members of each
party) to structure the transaction contemplated by this Agreement so as to
qualify as a tax-free exchange of like-kind property in compliance with the
provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “code”) (“Section
1031”). Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate in all reasonable
respects (at no material out-of-pocket expense to the cooperating party) to
allow the other party (or constitute member) to structure the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement to effect a like-kind exchange in compliance with
the provisions of Section 1031 of the code and the Regulations promulgated
thereunder (the “Regulations”). Accordingly, either party (or
constituent member) may enter into a written exchange agreement or assignment
agreement at any time prior to Closing with a “Qualified Intermediary” (as
defined in Section 1.1031(k)-1(g0(4)(iii) of the Regulations or an “Exchange
Accommodation Titleholder” (as defined in Revenue Procedure 2000-37) for the
assignment of the rights of that party under this Agreement to such “Qualified
Intermediary” or “Exchange Accommodation titleholder” (in either case, an
“Intermediary”). An Intermediary shall be designated in writing by
the assigning party (the “Assigning Party”) to the other party (the “Other
Party”), and the Other Party hereby agrees that the Other Party shall sign and
deliver to the Assigning Party a written instrument (to be prepared by the
Assigning Party) solely acknowledging receipt of such written designation of the
Intermediary and of notice of such assignment of the right, title and interest
of the Assigning Party under this Agreement to the
Intermediary. Notwithstanding any such assignment and assumption, the
Assigning Party shall not under any circumstances be released from its
obligations under this Agreement.
