Eastern Time on February 26, 2010 (“Due Diligence Expiration Date”) to inspect the Property (“Inspection Period”).

(ii)                                                                                                                                  Within three (3) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, or make available to Buyer, either at Seller’s offices or the Real Property, copies in Seller’s possession and control of all leases and correspondence files related thereto, plans and specifications (“Plans and Specifications”), permits, engineering data, title insurance policies, surveys, insurance information, tax bills and assessments, environmental tests, the name of the general contractor who has furnished services in connection with the Property, the Governing Documents and such other materials as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to the extent the same relate to the Real Property (“Seller Materials”), and Buyer shall have the right to make copies, at Buyer’s expense, of such books, files and records and to extract therefrom such information as it may desire, and shall have the right to audit and have certified, thoroughly and completely, all income and expenses, profits and losses, and operational results of the Property.  Seller shall direct and authorize all architects, engineers, surveyors, accountants and employees of Seller having knowledge or possession of Seller Materials to deliver such Seller Materials to, and cooperate with, Buyer in connection with its due diligence investigation of the Property.

 

(iii)                                                                                                                               Buyer, its prospective mortgagees, and their respective agents and consultants shall also have the right, subsequent to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, subject to the rights of Harris Teeter under the Harris Teeter Lease and the residential tenants under the Residential Leases, to enter upon and have access to the Real Property upon reasonable notice to Seller (which may be oral), in order to conduct additional surveys, approvals, tests,

 

6



 

examinations, appraisals and inspections thereof and perform all other due diligence that Buyer deems necessary; provided, however, that except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement subsequent to the Due Diligence Expiration Date.  To the extent that Buyer wishes to meet with representatives of Harris Teeter, Buyer shall make any such arrangements through Seller, and Seller shall have the right to attend any such meeting.

 

(b)                                                                                 Indemnification for Inspections.  Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and Seller’s members, managers, employees, officers, agents, contractors, and representatives harmless from and against any lien, liability, loss, damage, claim, cost or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising from such inspections, tests and investigations and for physical damage to property or bodily injury to persons which results from any such entry upon or inspection or testing of the Real Property by Buyer, or by any employee, officer, agent, contractor, representative or assignee of Buyer; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not extend to any lien, liability, loss, damage, claim, fee, or expense caused by or arising out of the negligence or intentional misconduct of Seller or its agents or from the mere discovery of adverse  pre-existing conditions.  This Section 4(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement or delivery of the Deed, as applicable, for a period of two (2) years.

 

(c)                                                                                  Due Diligence Expiration. Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason whatsoever by delivering a written termination notice to Seller on or before 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on the Due Diligence Expiration Date.  Upon delivery of such termination notice, the Deposit and all interest thereon shall be immediately returned to Buyer, and this Agreement shall be terminated and be of no further force and effect, except as otherwise provided herein.  Any such timely termination notice shall be sufficient notice to the Escrow Agent to return the Deposit with interest accrued thereon to Buyer immediately.  If Buyer shall fail to provide a termination notice to Seller in accordance with this Section 4(c), then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any right of termination pursuant to this Section 4(c), and provided that Buyer shall have deposited with the Escrow Agent the Additional Deposit as required pursuant to Section 2 (b) (ii), this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with and subject to the other terms and conditions contained herein.

 

Section 5.      Title Matters and Insurance.

 

(a)                                                                                  Title Commitment.  Buyer shall obtain, at its own expense, from Chicago Title Insurance Company, 2001 Bryan Street, Suite 1700, Dallas, Texas 78213 (“Title Company”), a commitment for title insurance (“Commitment”) together with legible, complete copies of the instruments referenced as exceptions to title referenced in the Commitment (collectively, such instruments and the Commitment, the “Title Binder”) for the issuance of an owner’s policy of title insurance (“Policy”) on a standard ALTA form, with such endorsements and affirmative coverage as Buyer or its mortgagee shall reasonably require.

 

(b)                                                                                 Title Matters and Encumbrances on Title.  The Commitment shall evidence the Title Company’s commitment to insure fee simple title to the Real Property.  For purposes hereof, the following are, collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”:

 

(i)                                                                                                                                     the standard exceptions to title insurance contained in the Title Company’s customary and standard form of title commitment;

 

7



 

(ii)                                                                                                                                  the lien for real estate taxes and assessments and water and sewer charges not yet due and payable as of the Closing Date;

 

(iii)                                                                                                                               all matters of record existing as of the date of the Commitment (each, a “Title Encumbrance”), other than (x) monetary liens and judgments (it being understood and agreed that the proceeds of the Purchase Price shall be used to discharge any such monetary liens and judgments at Closing; provided, however, that in no event shall this section be deemed or interpreted to limit Seller’s covenant in Section 13(e)(xii) or (xiii)) and (y) any title exception that is timely objected to by Buyer in accordance with Section 5(c);

 

(iv)                                                                                                                              all matters that would be disclosed by an accurate survey of the land on which the Condominium Units are constructed, except any matter identified on the survey that is timely objected to by Buyer in accordance with Section 5(e);

 

(v)                                                                                                                                 the terms and conditions of all zoning regulations affecting the Real Property;

 

(vi)                                                                                                                              the terms and provisions contained in the Condominium Instruments for the Condominium;

 

(vii)                                                                                                                           the terms and provisions contained in the Master Association Governing Documents; and

 

(viii)                                                                                                                        any matters specifically contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(c)                                                                                  Title Objection Notice.  On or before the date that is five (5) days prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Buyer may give to Seller written notice (“Title Objection Notice”) of any Title Encumbrance that is not acceptable to Buyer as a Permitted Encumbrance on the title to the Real Property (“Title Objections”).  Any Title Encumbrance affecting the Real Property not objected to in the Title Objection Notice from Buyer to Seller shall be deemed to be approved or waived by Buyer and shall be a Permitted Encumbrance.  If Buyer fails to provide a Title Objection Notice timely to Seller, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted and approved all Title Encumbrances disclosed in the Commitment, and all such Title Encumbrances disclosed in the Commitment shall be deemed Permitted Encumbrances.

 

(d)                                                                                 Title Cure Notice.  If Buyer timely provides to Seller a written Title Objection Notice, then, within three (3) business days after the receipt of such Title Objection Notice, Seller shall give to Buyer a written notice (“Title Cure Notice”) stating that (i) Seller agrees to cure one or more of the Title Objections identified in the Title Objection Notice on or before the Closing Date, or (ii) Seller does not agree to, or cannot, cure one or more of the Title Objections identified in the Title Objection Notice.  It is understood and agreed that Seller shall not be obligated to cure any defects other than Monetary Encumbrances (as hereinafter defined).  If Seller timely gives Buyer notice that Seller will cure all of the Title Objections, then Seller shall by Closing, provide evidence to Buyer that the Title Objections are so cured and, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, this transaction shall be closed on the Closing Date unless Seller notifies Buyer that it cannot effect the cure before the scheduled Closing Date, in which event the Closing Date shall be extended for up to fifteen (15) days to permit Seller to effect such cure.  If Seller timely notifies Buyer that Seller will not, or cannot, remove any Title

Objection, then Buyer shall have the right, at its option, to take either of the following actions: (x) Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written termination notice to Seller received by Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s Title Cure Notice, in which event the Deposit and all interest thereon shall be immediately returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further liability hereunder except as expressly provided herein, or (y) Buyer may waive Buyer’s Title Objections and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, proceed to close this transaction, in which event Buyer shall pay to Seller the full Purchase Price in accordance with and subject to the terms hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection, Seller shall be obligated to eliminate all mortgages and assignments of leases and rents, mechanic’s liens, tax liens, assessment liens, judgment liens, and other similar exceptions to the title to the Real Property (“Monetary Encumbrances”).  Seller shall be entitled to use such portion of the Purchase Price as is necessary to pay off all such Monetary Encumbrances, in which event any instruments evidencing the release or discharge of the Monetary Encumbrances shall be recorded at or after the Closing; provided, however, that Seller’s obligation to cure Monetary Encumbrances shall not be limited to the amount of the Purchase Price.

 

(e)                                                                                  Survey Objection Notice.  Seller agrees to provide to Buyer, without cost or charge, a copy of its current survey.  Buyer shall pay any charge to update or amend such survey, or to obtain any additional survey that Buyer shall desire.  On or before the date that is five (5) days prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Buyer may give to Seller written notice (“Survey Objection Notice”) of any survey matter that is not acceptable to Buyer (“Survey Objection”).  Any survey matter affecting the Real Property that is shown on Buyer’s survey and not objected to in the Survey Objection Notice shall be deemed approved or waived by Buyer.  If Buyer fails to timely provide a Survey Objection Notice to Seller, then Buyer’s right to object on account of any survey matters shown on the Survey shall be deemed waived.

 

(f)                                                                                    Survey Cure Notice.  If Buyer timely provides to Seller a written Survey Objection Notice, then, within three (3) business days after the receipt of the Survey Objection Notice, Seller shall give to Buyer a written notice (“Survey Cure Notice”) stating that (i) Seller agrees to cure one or more of the Survey Objections identified in the Survey Objection Notice on or before the Closing Date, or (ii) Seller does not agree to, or cannot, cure one or more of the Survey Objections identified in the Survey Objection Notice.  It is understood and agreed that Seller shall not be obligated to cure any Survey Objections.  If Seller gives Buyer notice that Seller will cure all of the Survey Objections, then this transaction shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, be closed on the Closing Date unless Seller notifies Buyer that it cannot effect the cure before the scheduled Closing Date, in which event the Closing Date shall be extended for up to fifteen (15) days to permit Seller to effect such cure.  If Seller notifies Buyer that Seller will not, or cannot, remove any Survey Objection, then Buyer shall have the right, at its option, to take either of the following actions: (x) Buyer may terminate this Agreement by delivering written termination notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of the Survey Cure Notice, in which event the Deposit and all interest thereon shall be immediately returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further liability hereunder except as expressly provided herein, or (y) Buyer may waive Buyer’s Survey Objections and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, proceed to close this transaction, in which event Buyer shall pay to Seller the full Purchase Price in accordance with and subject to the terms hereof.

(g)                           New Encumbrances.  Buyer shall have the right to object to any Title Encumbrances or survey matters first occurring after the date of the Commitment or disclosed in any update of the survey obtained by Buyer after the Due Diligence Expiration Date (each, a “New Encumbrance”).  Buyer may object to any New Encumbrance by giving written notice of the New Encumbrance to which it is objecting at any time prior to Closing, but not later than five (5) business days after discovery of the same by Buyer.  If Buyer does not object to any New Encumbrance as herein provided, such New Encumbrance shall be a Permitted Encumbrance.  In the event Buyer gives timely written notice of objection to any New Encumbrance as herein provided, the provisions of Section 5(c) and 5(e) shall apply with respect thereto as if set forth herein in full.  If any New Encumbrance is a Monetary Encumbrance, Seller must remove the same on or before the Closing in accordance with Section 5(d).  The foregoing provisions of this section notwithstanding, Buyer agrees:  (i) that the Real Property is a part of a larger development consisting of approximately 13.54 acres (“Park*Crest Development”), subject to the terms of the Final Development Plan (“FDP”) and proffers (“Proffers”) listed on Exhibit P, (ii) that Seller shall have right, from time to time, prior to and after Closing, to establish such easements and other encumbrances as are customary or necessary, in the reasonable opinion of Seller, for the development and operation of the Park*Crest Development, (iii) that Seller shall have the right from time to time, prior to and after Closing, to amend the FDP and Proffers affecting the Park*Crest Development, provided, however, that any such easement or any such amendment to the then-approved FDP or Proffers shall not render the Real Property non-conforming, violate any law or agreement binding on Buyer or the Property, have a materially adverse affect on the Property (including but not limited to the use, operation, condition or value thereof, provided that a change allowing a competing or different use of property other than the Property shall not, by itself, be deemed an adverse change in the value of the Property) or impose any other materially adverse obligations on Buyer without Buyer’s prior written approval, which approval may be withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, (iv) to cooperate with Seller in connection with the actions described in clauses (i) through (iii) of this sentence at no cost to Buyer.  The provisions of this Section 5(g) shall survive Closing and shall not be merged into the Deed.

 

(h)                           Seller’s Failure to Comply.  Seller’s failure to timely deliver to Buyer a Title Cure Notice or a Survey Cure Notice shall be deemed to be an election by Seller, made as of the last day on which Seller was required to deliver either such notice, not to cure any Title Objection or Survey Objection identified by Buyer.  Seller’s failure to cure any Title Objection or Survey Objection or to provide evidence thereof on or prior to the Closing Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to this Section 5) which Seller has agreed in writing to cure, any New Encumbrance which Seller is required to cure hereunder, or any Monetary Encumbrance, shall constitute a default by Seller hereunder, in which event Buyer shall have the right to exercise the remedies provided in Section 14 below.

 

Section 6.              Service Contracts and Special Declarant Rights.

 

(a)                           Service Contracts. During the Inspection Period, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing those Service Contracts relating to the Property that Buyer shall not assume at Closing (the “Rejected Contracts”), and Seller shall terminate, as of the Closing Date, all such Rejected Service Contracts.  If Buyer does not provide Seller with the list of Rejected Contracts on or before Closing, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to assume all of the Service Contracts. 

 

10



 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, for those Service Contracts that Buyer does not want to assume, but that require a notice period beyond the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver such termination notices as provided above, and shall cause such contracts to be terminated as soon after the Closing Date as permitted under the applicable contract, but Buyer shall be responsible for paying any amounts required to be paid under such contracts after the Closing Date.

 

(b)                           Declarant Rights.  During the Inspection Period, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of its election to assume some or all of Seller’s Special Declarant Rights.  In the event that Buyer elects to assume any of the Special Declarant Rights, Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver at Closing the Assignment of Special Declarant Rights, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L.  If Buyer does not provide Seller with its election to assume some or all of the Special Declarant Rights on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected not to assume any of the Special Declarant Rights.

 

Section 7.              Brokers.

 

Seller hereby acknowledges that it has not dealt with a real estate broker in connection with this transaction.  Buyer hereby acknowledges that it has not dealt with any real estate broker in connection with this transaction.  Each of Buyer and Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party from and against any liability, cost or expense, plus all costs of collection, including litigation expenses and attorneys’ fees, as a result of a claim for a commission, fee or other compensation made by any real estate broker, finder or other person and asserted against the other party by reason of an arrangement made or alleged to have been made by the indemnifying party.  This indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason or delivery of the Deed, as applicable.

 

Section 8.              Conditions of Closing.

 

(a)                           Buyer’s Conditions.  The obligation of Buyer to consummate the Closing hereunder shall in all respects be conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, any of which may be waived by written notice from Buyer to Seller.

 

(i)                                            All representations and warranties of Seller as set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all materials respects when made and as of the date of Closing as though such representations and warranties were made on and as of the Closing Date.

 

(ii)                                           Title Company shall be irrevocably committed to issue the Policy at Closing in accordance with the Commitment approved by Buyer during the Inspection Period, insuring Buyer as fee owner of the Real Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, effective as of the date of recording of the Deed and in the amount of the Purchase Price.

 

(iii)                                          The Harris Teeter Lease shall be in full force and effect and shall not have been altered, amended, modified, supplemented or terminated.

 

(iv)                                          Seller shall have delivered the Condominium Association and Master Association estoppels to Buyer five (5) business days prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date.

(viii)                                        Seller shall have performed and satisfied its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any condition to Buyer’s obligation to proceed to Closing in this Section 8 is not satisfied as of the Closing Date, Buyer’s sole and exclusive right (to be exercised not later than the Closing Date) shall be either (i) notwithstanding such fact, to waive any and all rights or claims with respect to any such unsatisfied obligation, and proceed to Closing; provided, however, that if such failure of condition shall constitute a default under this Agreement, Buyer shall also have the rights and remedies afforded to it in Section 14 for a default of this Agreement, or (ii) to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, whereupon all parties shall be released from any further liability or obligation under this Agreement (except for any obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement).

 

(b)                           Seller’s Conditions.  The obligation of Seller to consummate the Closing hereunder shall in all respects be conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, any of which may be waived by written notice from Seller to Buyer.

 

(i)                                            All representations and warranties of Buyer as set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all materials respects when made and as of the date of Closing as though such representations and warranties were made on and as of the date of Closing.

 

(ii)                                           Buyer shall have delivered all of Buyer’s Closing Deliveries specified in Section 10(b).

Section 9.              Closing Costs and Proration Credits.

 

It is the intent of Buyer and Seller that the economic benefit and burden of the ownership of the Property shall pass from Seller to Buyer at Closing.  A statement of prorations and other adjustments (“Closing Statement”) shall be prepared by the Escrow Agent with Seller’s and Buyer’s cooperation not less than one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date.  At Closing, the following items shall be adjusted between Seller and Buyer effective as of 11:59 P.M. on the day preceding the Closing Date (with Buyer being deemed to own the Property on the Closing Date):

 

(a)                           Title Insurance Costs.  Buyer shall pay the cost of the title insurance premium and fees as provided in Section 5.

 

(b)                           Survey.  Buyer shall pay the cost for any new or updated survey.

 

(c)                           Escrow Fees.  Buyer shall pay all fees for escrow services.

 

(d)                           Conveyance and Recording Costs.  Buyer shall pay the grantor’s tax in connection with the deed.  Buyer shall pay any grantee tax and all other fees/costs, including the State and County recordation taxes in connection with the deed and all fees related to the recording of any deed of trust placed on the Property to secure any loan made by Buyer’s lender.  Recording fees in connection with the release of any lien secured by the Property shall be paid by Seller.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Seller and Buyer shall each pay any fees or costs of its own counsel, consultants and advisors.

 

(e)                           Taxes.  The amount of any assessment which is a lien on the Real Property, and any real estate taxes (current and outstanding) will be pro-rated between the parties, with Seller responsible for the period prior to the Closing Date and Buyer responsible for the period commencing on and after the Closing Date.  If the actual amount of real estate taxes is not known at the time of the Closing, then the parties shall adjust the taxes based on the actual amount of real estate taxes for the prior tax year.  Such prorations as described herein shall be re-adjusted by the parties as soon as the actual amounts of taxes are known, upon presentation of reasonable evidence thereof.  This provision shall survive delivery of the Deed.  The foregoing provisions of this section notwithstanding, Seller and Buyer acknowledge that real estate taxes and assessments applicable to the Commercial Condominium Unit are to be paid directly to the third party entitled thereto by Harris Teeter pursuant to section 10 of the Harris Teeter Lease and to the extent that all such taxes and assessments due as of the Closing Date have been paid, no adjustment between Seller and Buyer on account of taxes and assessments will be made.

 

(f)                            Operating Expense Charges.  The amount of any gas, electric, water or other utility bill, the amount due on any Service Contract, and any other operating expense relating to the Real Property and allocable solely to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller to the extent due prior to Closing or credited to Buyer to the extent due from and after Closing, except to the extent that such utility or operating costs are required by the terms of the Harris Teeter Lease to be paid by Harris Teeter directly to the third party entitled thereto, to the extent such amounts are due prior to Closing and have been paid, no adjustment between Buyer and Seller on account of such amounts shall be made.

 

13



 

(g)                           Rents and Income.  All rents and income from the Real Property will be pro-rated between the parties, with Seller entitled to receive such amounts as are attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date and Buyer entitled to receive such amounts as are attributable to the period on or after the Closing Date.  All rentals collected or received by Seller prior to Closing which are allocable to the period commencing on or after the Closing Date shall be credited by Seller to Buyer.  Any rentals which have accrued to and remain unpaid as of the Closing Date shall belong to Seller, and shall be remitted to Seller as and when collected by Buyer; provided, however, that any rentals collected by Buyer after Closing shall be applied first to current rent then due and then to past due rent starting with the most recent delinquency.  All rents collected prior to Closing for taxes and expenses under applicable clauses in the Harris Teeter Lease, if any, shall be paid over to Buyer at Closing if such taxes or expenses remain unpaid as of Closing.  All rents collected after Closing for taxes and expenses under applicable clauses, if any, in the Harris Teeter Lease shall be paid over to Seller if Seller has paid such taxes or expenses prior to Closing.  For the purposes of this subparagraph, all rentals shall be apportioned on a daily basis using the number of days in the month in which Closing occurs.

 

(h)                           Security Deposits.  Buyer shall receive a credit in the full amount of all refundable security deposits and any refundable pet, cleaning or similar fees and deposits paid under the Leases, together with interest thereon if required by law.

 

(i)                            Other Expenses.  Except as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement, each party shall be responsible for all other fees, costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with this transaction, including, without limitation, any such expenses for services rendered by accountants, appraisers, architects, attorneys, consultants, contractors and engineers.

 

(j)                            Governing Documents.  Amounts due, if any, under the Governing Documents shall be prorated as of the Closing Date

 

(k)                           Reprorations.  Except with respect to general real estate and personal property taxes (which shall be reprorated upon the issuance of the actual bills, if necessary), any proration which must be estimated at Closing shall be reprorated and finally adjusted within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date; otherwise all prorations shall be final.  The provisions of this section shall survive the Closing.

 

(l)                            Utility Transfer.  At least five (5) business days prior to Closing, Seller will:  (i) instruct all applicable utilities serving the Property and directly metered to Seller to take final meter readings for their respective service to the Property as of the Closing Date (which final bills should be charged to, and paid by, Seller); (ii) advise said utilities, in writing, of the sale of the Property to Buyer and the intended Closing Date.  Seller will take no action which would cause any of said utility services to the Property to be terminated.  Seller shall cooperate with Buyer to effect the transfer, as of the Closing Date, of all said utility services to Buyer.

 

(m)                          Employee Expenses.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall be responsible for and pay at or prior to Closing, all amounts due or accruing through Closing for employees’ salaries, vacation pay, withholding and payroll taxes, and other benefits, and any management fee through Closing affecting the Property.

 

14



 

(n)                           Pre-Closing Operations.  For a period of at least 72 hours before the Closing, Seller shall discontinue data entry operations in the on-site computer system for the Property, including making deposits of rental income.  Seller acknowledges that such discontinuance is intended to afford Seller and Buyer an opportunity to coordinate the transition of the Property in anticipation of Closing and to complete work on prorations as set forth in this Agreement.  Seller shall, as soon as practicable after discontinuing such data entry (with Seller endeavoring to do the same within two hours of such discontinuance), forward to Buyer or its designee final reports to facilitate transition planning and compilation of prorations.

 

Section 10.            Closing Deliveries.

 

Not less than five (5) business days prior to Closing, Buyer shall notify Seller of any assignment of Buyer’s interest in this Agreement (as permitted by Section 16 (h) hereof) so that the Closing Deliveries can be prepared to reflect such assignment.  If Seller is not so notified, the Closing Deliveries shall name Buyer as the purchaser.

 

(a)                           Instruments to be Delivered by Seller.  At the Closing, Seller shall execute and deliver, or shall cause to be executed and delivered, to Escrow Agent, the following (“Closing Deliveries”):

17



 

damage to the Real Property should occur as a result of a fire, or some other casualty, and if such loss or damage would require an expenditure of a dollar amount in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in order to restore the Property to substantially the same condition it was in immediately prior to such damage, then Buyer shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this Agreement by written termination notice to Seller received within ten (10) business days after Seller has given Buyer written notice of such loss or damage, in which event the Deposit and all interest thereon shall be immediately returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further liability hereunder except as expressly provided herein.  If Buyer elects not to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the previous sentence, or if the loss or damage would require an expenditure of less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), then the parties shall proceed to close this transaction in accordance with the terms hereof, except that Buyer shall receive an assignment of any casualty loss insurance proceeds attributable to the loss or damage and Buyer shall receive a credit for the amount of the deductible required under Seller’s policy and an amount equal to the uninsured portion of such loss and the estimated amount of rent loss to be incurred until restoration is completed.

(iii)                                          If and to the extent that Seller is required in this Section 12 to assign and transfer to Buyer any casualty loss insurance proceeds attributable to the loss or damage, (a) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its insurance carriers pay any unpaid insurance proceeds (including business interruption and rental loss insurance of Seller that would be applicable to the period after the Closing) to Buyer and for Buyer’s benefit, and (b) if Seller’s insurance carriers do not permit assignment of such insurance proceeds to Buyer, then Seller shall obtain from its insurance carriers a policy endorsement to each applicable policy pursuant to which Buyer is added as a loss payee as of the Closing Date under each applicable policy.  The provisions of this Section 12(a)(iii) shall survive the Closing.

(b)                           Complete Agreement.  This Agreement, including all attached exhibits, constitutes the complete and integrated agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous negotiations and understandings, if any, between the parties.  No oral or implied understanding, representation or warranty shall vary its terms.

 

(c)                           Amendment.  This Agreement may not be amended other than by a written instrument executed by the parties.

 

(d)                           Governing Law.  This Agreement, the Closing Deliveries and any other applicable document, including all of the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties thereunder, shall be governed, construed and enforced for all purposes in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to its conflicts of laws rules.

 

(e)                           Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement, the Closing Deliveries or any other applicable document should be held by a court to be invalid or unenforceable in any particular respect, then the remaining provisions of such document (or the same provision in any other respect) shall not be invalid, unenforceable, impaired or otherwise affected, but shall continue to be in full force and effect; and to this end, all such provisions are hereby declared to be severable.

 

(f)                            Section and Other Headings.  The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

(g)                           Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

(h)                           Assignment.  Except as otherwise provided herein, Buyer may not assign this Agreement without Seller’s prior written consent, such consent to be given or denied in Seller’s reasonable discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to (i) any affiliate or direct or indirect subsidiary of Buyer or (ii) any entity in which Buyer, or the principals thereof, have control as defined herein.  Upon any such assignment, the assignor shall be released from its liabilities hereunder provided such assignee assumes the same and provided such assignee provides adequate proof of insurance in the amount of not less than $5,000,000 (which amount may be met in combination with umbrella or excess liability policies) covering the negligence of such assignee and contractual indemnity obligations of such assignee under Section 4(b).  For purposes of this Agreement, “affiliate

means, in respect of Buyer: (a) any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control, with the entity in question, or (b) any entity or affiliate thereof that participates in any investment program sponsored by Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC, or any of its direct or indirect affiliates or subsidiaries.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities or otherwise.

 

(i)                            Survival.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no provision of this Agreement is intended to survive delivery of the Deed.

 

(j)                            Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of each provision of this Agreement.

 

(k)                           Confidentiality.  Buyer shall treat as confidential all information and materials furnished or made available by Seller to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement or obtained by Buyer in the course of its inspections, tests and investigations (collectively, “Confidential Information”).  Buyer will not divulge and will use its commercially reasonable diligence to prevent Buyer’s Representatives (as hereinafter defined) from divulging such information except as required by law or as reasonably necessary to third parties engaged by Buyer for the limited purpose of analyzing and investigating such information for the purpose of consummating the transaction, including Buyer’s agents, attorneys, representatives, consultants, prospective lenders, current and prospective investors and their advisors, current and prospective financial partners, and engineers in this transaction (collectively “Buyer’s Representatives”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 16(k) or in any other agreement to which a party hereto is bound, the Confidential Information shall exclude, and Buyer and Buyer’s Representatives may disclose, any information or documentation that (i) is readily ascertainable by the general public, (ii) was known to Buyer prior to the execution of this Agreement, (iii) is deemed advisable by Buyer to disclose to its officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents, consultants, members of professional firms serving it or potential lenders, investors, consultants and brokers and others who need to know such information or review such documentation for the purpose of assisting Buyer in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement so long as such persons are informed by Buyer of the confidential nature of such information and are directed by Buyer to treat such information confidentially, (iv) is required to be disclosed by applicable law, or (v) is deemed advisable by Buyer or its counsel to be disclosed in connection with financial reporting, securities disclosures or other legal, tax or financial requirements or guidelines applicable to Buyer or any affiliate thereof, including any disclosures to the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The foregoing shall not preclude Buyer, in the event that Closing hereunder occurs, from issuing a press release concerning its purchase of the Property.

 

(l)                            Construction.  The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) each party hereto is of equal bargaining strength, (ii) each party has actively participated in the drafting, preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, (iii) each party has consulted with such party’s own, independent counsel, and such other professional advisors as such party has deemed appropriate, relative to any and all matters contemplated under this Agreement, (iv) each party and it’s counsel and advisors have reviewed this Agreement, (v) each party has agreed to enter into this Agreement following such review and the rendering of such advice, and (vi) any rule of

 

32



 

construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting parties shall not apply in the interpretation of this Agreement, or any portions hereof, or any amendments hereto.

 

(m)                          Like-Kind Exchange.  Buyer and/or Seller may structure the disposition of the Property as a like-kind exchange under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 at the electing party’s sole cost and expense.  The parties shall reasonably cooperate therein, provided that the cooperating party shall incur no material costs, expenses or liabilities in connection with the other party’s exchange, and the Closing shall not be delayed.  Each party shall indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless therefrom and Buyer and Seller shall not be required to take title to or contract for purchase of any other property.  If Buyer or Seller uses a qualified intermediary to effectuate the exchange, any assignment of the rights or obligations hereunder shall not relieve, release or absolve it of its obligations to the other party.

 

(n)                           No Personal Liability.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that no officer, director, equity owner, employee, agent, manager or representative of Seller (or any partner, member or manager of such a partner, member or manager) shall have any personal liability under this Agreement.  Seller acknowledges and agrees that no officer, director, shareholder, member, equity owner, agent, manager, employee or representative of Buyer (or any partner, member or manager of such a partner, member or manager), as applicable, shall have any personal liability under this Agreement.

 

(o)                           No Obligations to Third Parties.  Except as expressly provided herein, the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not be deemed to confer any rights upon, nor obligate any of the parties hereto, to any person or entity other than the parties hereto.

 

(p)                           Waiver.  The waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any future breach of any such provision or any other provision hereof.

 

(q)                           Fees and Other Expenses.  Except as expressly provided herein, each of the parties hereto shall pay its own fees and expenses in connection with this Agreement.

 

(r)                            Computation of Time Periods.  If the date upon which the Inspection Period expires, the Closing Date or any other date or time period provided for in this Agreement is or ends on a Saturday, Sunday or federal, or legal holiday, then such date shall automatically be extended until 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time of the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal, or legal holiday.

 

(s)                           Escrow Agent.  Escrow Agent’s duties and rights are set forth in the Escrow Agreement.

 

(t)                            No Memorandum of Agreement.  This Agreement or any notice or memorandum hereof shall not be recorded in any public record.  A violation of this prohibition shall constitute a material breach by Buyer, entitling Seller to terminate this Agreement.  Nothing herein shall prohibit Buyer from filing a valid lis pendens notice in the event of a default by Seller in connection with any lawsuit filed by Buyer for specific performance.

 

(u)                           No Finance Contingency.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement are not in any manner contingent or conditioned upon Buyer

 

33



 

obtaining financing in order to purchase the Property.  It is expressly understood that if Buyer is unable to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement as a result of Buyer’s failure to obtain financing, Buyer shall be in default under this Agreement.  In no event shall Seller be obligated to comply with any requirements of Buyer’s lender or otherwise incur any cost, expense or liability in connection with Buyer’s financing of the Property.

 

(v)                           Designation of Escrowee as Reporting Person.  Seller and Buyer each hereby authorize Escrow Agent to designate the investment depository of the Deposit to act as and perform the duties and obligations of the “reporting person” with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement for purposes of 26 C.F.R. Section 1.6045-4(e)(5) relating to the requirements for information reporting on real estate transaction closed on or after January 1, 1991.

 

(w)                          Facsimile Signatures.  Handwritten signatures to this Agreement transmitted by telecopy or electronic transmission (for example, through use of a Portable Document Format or “PDF” file) shall be valid and effective to bind the party so signing.  Each party agrees to promptly deliver to the other party an executed original of this Agreement with its actual signature, but a failure to do so shall not affect the enforceability of this Agreement, it being expressly agreed that each party to this Agreement shall be bound by its own telecopied or electronically transmitted handwritten signature and shall accept the telecopied or electronically transmitted handwritten signature of the other party to this Agreement.

 

(x)                            Termination of Condominium Registration.  The parties acknowledge that Seller has previously registered the Condominium with the Virginia Common Interest Community Board (“VCICB”) (Registration No. 05-266) (the “Registration”).  Seller agrees that within three (3) business days following Closing, it shall terminate the registration of the Condominium.  The parties further acknowledge and agree that the assessment bond in the amount of $100,000 currently deposited with the VCICB shall be returned to Seller and shall remain the property of Seller.

 

(y)                           Prevailing Party Attorney Fees.  If either Seller or Buyer files suit to enforce the obligations of the other party under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover the reasonable fees and expenses of its attorneys from the non-prevailing party.

 

(z)                            Assignment of Interest in Reports and Studies.  If for any reason Buyer does not consummate the Closing other than a default by Seller, then Buyer shall, upon Seller’s request and payment therefor, assign and transfer to Seller, without representation or warranty, all of its right, title and interest in and to any and all studies, reports, surveys and other information, data and/or documents relating to the Property or any part thereof prepared by third parties at the request of Buyer, and shall deliver to Seller copies of all of the foregoing.

 

(aa)                         Further Assurances.  Seller agrees that it will execute such documents or instruments as Buyer may reasonably request for a transaction of this nature to give further assurances and effect to intent of any of the Closing Deliveries including, without limitation, further assurances of the conveyance of the Real Property to Buyer as contemplated by the Deed.  Buyer agrees that it will execute such documents or instruments as Seller may reasonably request

 

34



 

for a transaction of this nature to give further assurances and effect to intent of any of the Closing Deliveries.  This provision shall survive Closing for a period of three (3) months.

 

(bb)                         Waiver of Trial by Jury.  IN ANY LAWSUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING INITIATED BY BUYER OR SELLER UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER AND SELLER EACH WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY.

 

(cc)                         Cooperation of Parties.  The parties acknowledge that the Real Property that is the subject matter of this Agreement is a part of the Park*Crest Development, and that Seller, and/or entities affiliated with Seller, own other parcels which, along with the Real Property, comprise the Park* Crest Development.  Seller has advised Buyer that it has previously filed with Fairfax County, Virginia, an application for a Proffered Condition Amendment and Final Development Plan Amendment (the “PCA/FDPA Application”) for the Park*Crest Development which seeks, among other things, the reconfiguration of building no. 1, or may, in Seller’s discretion affect any other building site which is a part of the Park*Crest Development, and which may also include changes in permitted uses on other building sites in the Park*Crest Development.  Buyer agrees that it shall, without cost to Buyer, fully cooperate with Seller in Seller’s prosecution of the PCA/FDPA Application and shall, to the extent required as a contract purchaser or owner of the Real Property, promptly join in such applications, disclosures, affidavits, proffers, development conditions or other documents as may be required by Fairfax County, Virginia and requested by Seller, in connection with Seller’s prosecution of the PCA/FDPA Application; provided, however, that no such document executed by Buyer shall render the Real Property non-conforming, have a materially adverse affect on the Property (including but not limited to the use, operation, condition or value thereof, provided that a change allowing a competing or different use of property other than the Property shall not, by itself, be deemed an adverse change in the value of the Property) or impose any other materially adverse obligations on Buyer without Buyer’s prior written approval, which approval may be withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion.  The provisions of this Section 16(cc) shall survive closing and shall not be merged into the deed of conveyance for the Real Property.

 

(dd)                         Required 3-14 Audit.  Seller acknowledges that Buyer may cause to be prepared audited financial statements with respect to the Property in compliance with the policies of Buyer and certain laws, including applicable regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer’s auditors in the preparation of such audited financial statements (including making available for interview by Buyer and Buyer’s auditors the management personnel of Seller’s property manager who are responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Property and the keeping of the books and records in respect of the operation of the Property).  If Seller has audited financial statements with respect to the Property, Seller shall promptly provide Buyer’s auditors with a copy of such audited financial statements.  Seller acknowledges that any such audit may require review of records existing for up to three years prior to the date of Closing.  If, after the Closing Date, Seller obtains an audited financial statement with respect to the Property for a fiscal period prior to the Closing Date that was not completed as of the Closing Date, then Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with a copy of such audited financial statement.  The provisions of this Section 16(dd) shall survive the Closing.

 

35



 

(ee)                         Resignation from Board of Directors of the Condominium Association.  As of the Closing Date, Seller and all officers, employees or agents of Seller shall resign from the Board of Directors of the Condominium Association.  The provisions of this Section 16(ee) shall survive Closing and shall not be merged into the Deed.
