As used herein, the term “Real Property Owner” shall mean any Applicable Entity that owns the Land and Improvements (or any portion thereof), and “Real Property Owners” shall mean, collectively, all Applicable Entities that own the Land and Improvements (or any portion thereof).

 

Section 2.                                           Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal income tax purposes (a) to the extent that a Subject Entity is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests in such Subject Entity shall be treated as a purchase of the Property owned or otherwise held by such Subject Entity, and (b) to the extent that a Subject Entity is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests in such Subject Entity shall be treated as a purchase of the Property owned or otherwise held by such Subject Entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Revenue Ruling 99-6, Situation 2.

 

Section 3.                                           Due Diligence Materials.  Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has delivered or caused to be delivered to Purchaser all items set forth on Schedule 3 attached hereto (collectively, the “Due Diligence Materials”).  Purchaser acknowledges that it has reviewed the Due Diligence Materials prior to the Effective Date, and, by its execution hereof, Purchaser waives any right it may have to terminate this Agreement as a result of matters disclosed by such Due Diligence Materials, other than with respect to Non-Permitted Encumbrances (defined below) to the extent expressly set forth in Schedule 4(a) below.

 

Section 4.                                           Title and Survey Matters.

 

(a)                                 Prior to the Effective Date, Purchaser has reviewed existing title work and surveys with respect to the Property, and Purchaser has approved the proforma owner’s policies of title insurance attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Approved Proformas”).  All exceptions and other title matters set forth in the Approved Proformas are referred to herein as “Permitted Encumbrances”; all other exceptions or title matters that are not set forth in the Approved Proformas are referred to herein as “Non-Permitted Encumbrances”.  If Seller does not cause all of the Non-Permitted Encumbrances to be removed, cured or insured around on or prior to the Closing Date, then Purchaser may elect to exercise any of the following remedies:  (i) partially terminate this Agreement solely with respect to the Individual Site(s) encumbered or affected by

 

3

 

the applicable Non-Permitted Encumbrances, if, but only if, such partial termination would not result in a failure of the OZ Qualification Condition (as defined in Section 5(b)(ii) below), in which event Purchaser and Seller shall proceed to Closing with respect to the remainder of the Property (subject to Section 5), except that the Purchase Price will be reduced by the portion thereof that is allocated to the terminated Individual Site(s) as set forth on Schedule 1(b)(i) hereto, (ii) terminate this Agreement in its entirety, in which event neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for those which expressly survive termination, or (iii) proceed to Closing on the entirety of the Property, in which event the Non-Permitted Encumbrances shall be Permitted Encumbrances.

(c)                                  Prior to the Effective Date, Purchaser has conducted such investigations, studies and tests with respect to the Property as Purchaser deemed necessary or appropriate.  By its execution hereof, Purchaser waives any right it may have to terminate this Agreement as a result of matters disclosed by any such investigations, studies and tests, other than with respect to Non-Permitted Encumbrances to the extent expressly set forth in Section 4(a) above.

 

(d)                                 As Is Condition.

8

 

in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date, (ii) on or prior to the Closing Date, the other party shall have tendered all deliveries required to be tendered by such party at Closing, and (iii) any and all consents that are required to be obtained from, or notices required to be delivered to, any applicable federal, state or local agency or governmental or quasi-governmental instrumentality (the “Regulatory Agencies”) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder (the “Regulatory Approvals”) shall have been received and approved by Seller and Purchaser, each in their good faith, reasonable discretion, (with respect to consents), or delivered to the applicable Regulatory Agencies (with respect to notices).  All costs and expenses of pursuing and obtaining the Regulatory Approvals shall be borne by Purchaser.

 

(b)                                 Additional Conditions to Purchaser’s Obligations to Close.  Without limiting any other conditions set forth in this Agreement, the obligations of Purchaser to consummate the Closing are conditioned upon the following: (i) the Title Company being unconditionally committed to issue one or more ALTA extended coverage owner policy or policies of title insurance to the Real Property Owners in the aggregate amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances (whether one or more, the “Owner Policy”), (ii) immediately after Closing, and taking into account all Property being acquired (directly or indirectly) by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and all other property being acquired (directly or indirectly) being acquired by Purchaser pursuant to those certain Equity Interest Purchase and Sale Agreements listed on Schedule 5(b) attached hereto, Purchaser shall own, directly or indirectly, sufficient “qualified opportunity zone business property” within the meaning of Section 1400Z-2(d)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) to qualify as a “qualified opportunity fund” within the meaning of Section 1400Z-2(d)(1) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as determined in the sole discretion of Purchaser (the “OZ Qualification Condition”), and (iii) COR Community Development Corporation’s interest in the Oak Village Subsidiary shall have been converted to a non-economic general partnership interest (the “Oak Village Non-Economic GP Interest”), such that, immediately upon consummation of the Closing, Seller and/or an Applicable Entity (or Applicable Entities) will own all of the economic interests in the Oak Village Subsidiary.

(c)                                  Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement.  Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that Seller may be required to disclose if any Property lies within the following natural hazard areas or zones:  (i) a special flood hazard area designated by the Federal Emergency

 

21

 

Management Agency (California Civil Code Section 1103(c)(1)); (ii) an area of potential flooding (California Government Code Section 8589.4); (iii) a very high fire hazard severity zone (California Government Code Section 51178 et seq.); (iv) a wild land area that may contain substantial forest fire risks and hazards (Public Resources Code Section 4135; (v) earthquake fault zone (Public Resources Code Section 2622); or (vi) a seismic hazard zone (Public Resources Code Section 2696) (sometimes all of the preceding are herein collectively called the “Natural Hazard Matters”).  A written report has been prepared by                      (in its capacity as the preparer of such report, the “Natural Hazard Expert”) regarding the results of its full examination of the maps and other information specifically made available to the public by government agencies for the purposes of enabling Seller to fulfill its disclosure obligations, if and to the extent such obligations exist, with respect to the natural hazards referred to in California Civil Code Section 1103 et seq. and to report the result of its examination to Purchaser and Seller in writing (the “Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement”).  Purchaser acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement prior to the Effective Date and that such Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement fully and completely discharges Seller from its disclosure obligations referred to herein, if and to the extent any such obligations exist.  Purchaser further acknowledges, for the purpose of this Agreement, the provisions of Civil Code Section 1103.4 regarding nonliability of Seller for errors or omissions not within its personal knowledge shall be deemed to apply and the Natural Hazard Expert shall be deemed to be an expert, dealing with matters within the scope of its expertise with respect to the examination and written report regarding the natural hazards referred to above.

 

(d)                                 Energy Use Disclosures.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) it has received all disclosures and other documentation or information for the Property required under Section 25402.10 of the California Public Resources Code and its implementing regulations, (ii) Seller has not made and will not make any representations or warranties regarding such disclosures, documentation or information, (iii) such disclosure information is for the current occupancy and use of the Property, (iv) the energy profile of the Property will vary depending on any future occupancy and/or use of the Property, and (v) Seller makes no claims, representations or warranties regarding the future energy profile of the Property.

 

(e)                                  Proposition 13.  Purchaser acknowledges that the consummation of the Closing and/or any post-Closing improvements made to the Property located in the State of California may result in the real property taxes assessed against the Property located in the State of California being increased pursuant to Proposition 13, an amendment to the Constitution of the State of California enacted by the voters of the State of California on June 6, 1978.  Any such increased real property tax assessments shall not be subject to proration at Closing (or re-proration after Closing), and shall be the sole responsibility of Purchaser (and/or the Applicable Entities) from and after the Closing Date.  This Section 13(e) shall survive the Closing.

 

(f)                                   Waivers and Releases.  With respect to any waivers and releases set forth in this Agreement relating to unknown and unsuspected claims, Purchaser hereby acknowledges that such waivers and releases are being made after obtaining the advice of counsel and with the full knowledge and understanding that the consequences and effects of such waivers, and that such waivers are made with the full knowledge, understanding and agreement that California Civil Code

 

22

 

Section 1542 provides as follows, and that the protections afforded by said Code Section are hereby waived:

 

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

 

The foregoing waiver shall be deemed to be restated and re-made as of, and shall survive, Closing.
