4. CONDITIONS TO CLOSING |
4.1 Seller’s Obligations. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (at Seller’s expense), within five (5) days after the “Effective Date” (as defined below), true, correct, complete and legible copies of all of the due diligence items listed on Schedule “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein with respect to the Property (collectively, the “Due Diligence Items”). Seller shall provide Purchaser with written notice at such time as Seller determines that all Due Diligence Items have been delivered to Purchaser (the “Due Diligence Delivery Notice”). Within two (2) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Due Diligence Delivery Notice, Purchaser shall confirm in writing to Seller, if such be the case, that all required Due Diligence Deliveries have been received by Purchaser, in which event the date that Purchaser receives the Due Diligence Delivery Notice shall be deemed to be the “Due Diligence Receipt Date” (herein so called) for all purposes of this Agreement. In the event, however, that Purchaser determines that it has not been provided with all of the Due Diligence Items, then Purchaser shall provide Seller with written notice thereof (the “Missing Due Diligence Notice”), within two (2) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Due Diligence Delivery Notice, enumerating with specificity in such notice which Due Diligence Items have not been provided by Seller. Within two (2) business days
following Seller’s receipt of the Missing Due Diligence Notice, Seller shall provide Purchaser with all Due Diligence Items listed thereon together with written notice confirming such delivery (the “Missing Due Diligence Delivery Notice”). Within two (2) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Missing Due Diligence Delivery Notice, accompanied by all missing Due Diligence Items, Purchaser shall confirm in writing to Seller that Purchaser has received all required Due Diligence Items, in which event the date that Purchaser receives the Missing Due Diligence Delivery Notice, accompanied by all missing Due Diligence Items, shall be deemed to be the Due Diligence Receipt Date for all purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser may request additional information, documentation or materials concerning the Property from Seller at any time after the Effective Date, and Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such additional information, documentation or materials to Purchaser, at no cost or expense to Seller, provided it is within Seller’s possession or under its control, and further provided that the delivery or non-delivery of any such item shall in no manner extend the Approval Period.
4.1.1 Approval Period. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and expiring at 5:00 p.m. Central Time on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Due Diligence Receipt Date (the “Approval Period”), the following matters shall be conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement:
(a) Purchaser’s being satisfied in Purchaser’s sole discretion that the Property is suitable for Purchaser’s intended use; and
(b) Purchaser’s being satisfied, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, with all of the Due Diligence Items.
Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice of such termination to Seller at any time prior to the expiration of the Approval Period, if, in Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser decides not to consummate the purchase of the Property contemplated hereby. In such event, this Agreement will terminate as of the date of such notice, and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations. If, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser determines that it desires to consummate the purchase of the Property contemplated hereby, then Purchaser will give written notice thereof (the “Closing Notice”) to Seller, prior to the expiration of the Approval Period. In the event that Purchaser provides Seller with the Closing Notice, then Purchaser will be deemed to have waived its termination rights under this Section 4.1.1, and the parties will proceed to Closing, subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not give Seller the Closing Notice prior to the expiration of the Approval Period and has not previously terminated this Agreement by written notice to Seller, then this Agreement automatically shall terminate upon the expiration of the Approval Period, and, in such event, neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations. In either of such events terminating this Agreement, immediately following written request from Purchaser to the Title Company, and without the consent or joinder of Seller being required, the Title Company shall return all of the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser.
4.1.2 Title Commitment and Survey. Seller shall convey good and marketable title to the Property to Purchaser at Closing, subject only to the “Permitted Encumbrances” (defined below). Within five (5) days following the Effective Date, Purchaser shall obtain, at its sole cost and expense, a title commitment (the “Title Commitment”) for an ALTA Owner's Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) insuring good and marketable fee simple title to the Property, together with legible copies of all exceptions listed therein. Purchaser shall have ten (10) days following its receipt of the Title Commitment, legible copies of all exceptions listed therein and the “Survey” (defined below), to deliver to Seller written notice of Purchaser’s objections to title (the “Title Objection Letter”). Seller shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to cure Purchaser’s objections to title; subject, however, to Seller’s obligation to remove all “Monetary Liens” (as defined below) by Closing. Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing within five (5) days following Seller’s receipt of the Title Objection Letter concerning which title objections, if any, Seller has agreed to cure. In the event that Seller does not undertake to cure all of the objections in the Title Objection Letter to Purchaser’s sole satisfaction (or does not timely respond to the Title Objection Letter), then Purchaser shall have the right for five (5) days after receipt of Seller’s response to the Title Objection Letter (or five (5) days following the expiration of the period within which Seller was to so respond) to either (i) waive any such title objection in writing and proceed to Closing (in which event such waived title objection shall be deemed to be a “Permitted Encumbrance”, as defined below), or (ii) terminate this Agreement and receive an immediate refund of the Xxxxxxx Money, without the consent or joinder of Seller being required. All exceptions set forth in Schedule B of the Title Commitment which are not objected to by Purchaser (including matters initially objected to by Purchaser which objections are subsequently waived in writing) are herein collectively called the “Permitted Encumbrances”. In the event that any update to the Title Commitment indicates the existence of any liens, encumbrances or other defects or exceptions (the “Unacceptable Encumbrances”) which are not shown in the initial Title Commitment and that are unacceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall within five (5) days after receipt of any such update to the Title Commitment notify Seller in writing of its objection to any such Unacceptable Encumbrance (the “Unacceptable Encumbrance Notice”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall have no obligation to take any steps or bring any action or proceeding or otherwise to incur any expense whatsoever to eliminate or modify any of the Unacceptable Encumbrances; provided, however, that Seller shall, prior to Closing, eliminate by paying, bonding around or otherwise discharging in a manner satisfactory to Purchaser (i) any Unacceptable Encumbrances that arise by, through or under Seller, and (ii) any mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, mechanics’ liens or monetary judgments that appear on the Title Commitment (“Monetary Liens”). In the event Seller is unable, unwilling or for any reason fails to eliminate or modify all of the Unacceptable Encumbrances to the sole satisfaction of Purchaser (other than the Unacceptable Encumbrances and Monetary Liens required to be removed by Seller in accordance with the preceding sentence), Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by delivering notice thereof in writing to Seller by the earliest to occur of (i) the Closing Date, (ii) five (5) days after Seller’s written notice to Purchaser of Seller’s intent to not cure one or more of such Unacceptable Encumbrances, or (iii) ten (10) days after the Unacceptable Encumbrance Notice, in the event Seller does not timely respond thereto. Upon a termination of this Agreement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser, without the consent or joinder of Seller being required, and neither party shall have any obligations hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations.
4.1.3 Survey. Purchaser shall obtain, at its sole cost and expense, a current, as-built survey of the Property prepared by a registered surveyor acceptable to Purchaser (the “Survey”), which may be an update of the existing survey delivered by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.1 above.
4.1.4 Contracts. Purchaser shall notify Seller prior to the expiration of the Approval Period which of the “Contracts” (as defined below) Purchaser will require Seller to cancel at Closing (the “Rejected Contracts”), and Seller hereby agrees to cancel same not later than Closing. However, if any of the Contracts are not terminable upon thirty (30) days notice or less, and without payment of a fee or penalty, then Purchaser agrees to assume such Contracts at Closing, provided they are assignable. Any Contracts which are not assignable shall be the sole responsibility of Seller, shall be cancelled by Seller on or before Closing, and Seller shall and hereby agrees to indemnify Purchaser from any and all liability relating thereto, which indemnification obligation expressly shall survive Closing.
4.2 Inspection. During the Approval Period, at any time and from time to time during normal business hours (and thereafter through the Closing Date), Purchaser may inspect, test, and survey: (a) the Property and any and all portions thereof, including physical and mechanical inspections, (b) all financial
and other records pertaining to the operation of the Property, including, but not limited to, all books, records, documents, accounting and management reports of Seller, and (c) originals of all Leases and Contracts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser must obtain Seller’s prior written approval of the scope and method of any environmental testing or investigation (other than a Phase I environmental site assessment, which shall require no consent or approval of any kind), prior to Purchaser’s commencement of such inspections or testing. Seller shall cooperate in good faith with Purchaser, Purchaser’s agents and independent contractors in connection with all such inspections, tests and surveys, including obtaining all necessary tenant consents and/or providing adequate notice to tenants regarding Purchaser’s entry into leased areas on the Property, and making available during normal business hours all relevant personnel to answer any questions which Purchaser may have regarding the Property. Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole expense, shall repair any and all damage resulting from any of the tests, studies, inspections and investigations performed by or on behalf of Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.2, and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against all claims for bodily injury or property damage which may be asserted against Seller arising out of the tests, studies, inspections and investigations performed by Purchaser hereunder, which obligation of indemnification shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement. Prior to any entry onto the Property by Purchaser or any of its agents, Purchaser shall furnish Seller with evidence that Purchaser maintains a policy of general liability insurance providing premises/operations coverage included under the per occurrence/general aggregate coverage, having a combined single limit liability of not less than $1,000,000, naming Seller as an additional insured. All entries onto the Property by Purchaser shall be preceded by not less than 48 hours prior notice to Seller, which may be verbal.

The Extension Deposit, if and when made, shall be added to the Xxxxxxx Money and deemed a part thereof for all purposes under this Agreement, and shall be applied as a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing, or delivered to the party that is entitled to receive the Xxxxxxx Money pursuant to the terms of this Agreement should the Closing for any reason fail to occur.

For a period of forty five (45) days following Closing, if any rents which are delinquent as of Closing are actually received by Purchaser, in good funds, all such amounts shall first be applied to post-closing rents and other amounts due to Purchaser for the period from and after Closing, and the balance shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller within forty five (45) days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof, to the extent, and only to the extent of any rental delinquencies owed by any such tenant to Seller for the period prior to Closing.

If, subsequent to the Closing, any rents or other
income are actually received by Seller, Seller shall immediately remit the same, or Purchaser’s prorata share thereof calculated as aforesaid, to Purchaser.

8. DEFAULT |
8.1 Breach by Seller. In the event that Seller shall fail to consummate this Agreement for any reason, except Purchaser’s default or a termination of this Agreement by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to a right to do so under the provisions hereof, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedies, at law or in equity, to either (i) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money, and neither party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations, or (ii) pursue the remedy of specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, if the remedy of specific performance for any reason is unavailable to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall have the right to pursue an action to recover damages from Seller.
