Each of the Seller Parties and Purchaser shall be referred to in this Agreement as a “Party”, and collectively as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings specified in Exhibit A or elsewhere in this Agreement.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Market Place Seller owns and desires to sell to Purchaser (or Purchaser’s designees permitted by this Agreement), and Purchaser desires to purchase and acquire from the Market Place Seller, the Market Place Property at the Tranche II Closing (defined below);

WHEREAS, the Company desires to sell to Purchaser (or Purchaser’s designees permitted by this Agreement), and Purchaser desires to purchase and acquire from the Company, (i) 100% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company membership interests (collectively, the “Tranche I Purchased Interests”) in each of the entities owned by the Company and set forth on Exhibit B – Part I (collectively, the “Tranche I Purchased Entities”), and (ii) the issued and outstanding limited liability company membership interests (collectively, the “Tranche II Purchased Interests” and, together with the Tranche I Purchased Interests, each individually and collectively, as applicable, the “Purchased Interests”) in each of the entities owned by the Company and set forth on Exhibit B – Part II (collectively, the “Tranche II Purchased Entities” and, together with the Tranche I Purchased Entities, each individually and collectively, as applicable, the “Purchased Entities”); and

WHEREAS, (i) the Tranche I Purchased Entities own the portfolio of real properties set forth on Exhibit B – Part I (the “Tranche I Properties”), with each Tranche I Purchased Entity owning the Tranche I Property set forth opposite such Tranche I Purchased Entity’s name on Exhibit B – Part I, and (ii) the Tranche II Purchased Entities own the portfolio of real properties set forth on Exhibit B – Part II (together with the Market Place Property, the “Tranche II Properties” and, collectively with the Tranche I Properties, each individually and collectively, as applicable, the “Properties”), with each Tranche II Purchased Entity owning the Tranche II Property set forth opposite such Tranche II Purchased Entity’s name on Exhibit B – Part I.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual agreements, covenants, representations and warranties contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1


ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE

1.01 Purchase and Sale of Purchased Interests and the Market Place Property.

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at each Respective Closing, the Company shall sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Purchaser, free and clear of any and all Liens (other than any restrictions on transfer by the Purchaser imposed under applicable securities laws and Liens described in clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Encumbrances), and Purchaser shall purchase and accept from the Company, the Applicable Purchased Interests.

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Tranche II Closing, the Market Place Seller shall sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from the Market Place Seller, the Market Place Property, free and clear of any and all Liens (other than the Permitted Encumbrances).

1.02 Purchase Price.

(a) Subject to Section 1.02(b), the purchase price payable by Purchaser for the Purchased Interests and the Market Place Property (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”) shall be $430,709,085 (the “Unadjusted Purchase Price”). The Unadjusted Purchase Price is an amount equal to the sum of the values mutually agreed by Purchaser and the Seller Parties for the Purchased Assets. The Parties agree that the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be allocated between the Tranche I Purchased Interests and the Tranche 2 Purchased Assets as follows: (i) $229,247,725 for the Tranche I Purchased Interests (the “Tranche I Unadjusted Purchase Price”) and (ii) $201,461,360 for the Tranche II Purchased Assets (the “Tranche II Unadjusted Purchase Price”). The Parties further agree that the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be allocated between the Purchased Interests and the Market Place Property, and among the Purchased Entities, as set forth on Section 1.02 of the Disclosure Schedules.

(b) At the Tranche I Closing, the Tranche I Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be: (i) to the extent applicable, decreased by an amount equal to the aggregate Adjustment Amounts of the Retained Properties with respect to the Tranche I Purchased Interests, if any, (ii) increased or decreased, as applicable, by the net amount of the Proration Items in accordance with Section 1.04, and (iii) decreased by the outstanding principal balance of, and all accrued and unpaid interest and late fees owing under, the Tranche I Assumed Mortgages (the Tranche I Unadjusted Purchase Price, as adjusted in accordance with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) at the Tranche I Closing, the “Tranche I Purchase Price”).

(c) At the Tranche II Closing, the Tranche II Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be: (i) to the extent applicable, decreased by an amount equal to the aggregate Adjustment Amounts of the Retained Properties with respect to the Tranche II Purchased Interests, if any (each such adjustment made pursuant to clause (b)(i) or (c)(i) a “Price Adjustment”), (ii) increased or decreased, as applicable, by the net amount of the Proration Items in accordance with Section 1.04, and (iii) decreased by the outstanding principal balance of, and all accrued and unpaid interest and late fees owing under, the Tranche II Assumed Mortgages and the Market

Place Mortgage (the Unadjusted Purchase Price, as adjusted in accordance with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) at the Tranche II Closing, the “Tranche II Purchase Price” and, together with the Tranche I Purchase Price, as applicable, the “Purchase Price”).

1.03 Payment of Purchase Price. At each Respective Closing, Purchaser shall pay to the Seller Parties an amount equal to the Applicable Purchase Price, in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account(s) designated by the Seller Parties, which account(s) must be designated in a writing delivered to Purchaser at least three Business Days prior to each Respective Closing Date.

1.04 Prorations.

(a) Generally. All prorations and other adjustments of the items described in this Section 1.04 shall be made at each Respective Closing based on the Applicable Closing Statement approved in accordance with this Section 1.04 (as applicable, the “Tranche I Approved Closing Statement” or “Tranche II Approved Closing Statement”) and shall be final without post-Closing adjustments or true-ups. At least five Business Days prior to the Respective Closing, the Seller Parties shall deliver a draft of the Applicable Closing Statement, together with such information and verification reasonably necessary to support the prorations and adjustments under this Section 1.04, to Purchaser for its review and approval so that Purchaser may confirm that it is factually accurate and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser shall have three Business Days after receipt of the Applicable Closing Statement to notify the Seller Parties of any proposed changes to such Applicable Closing Statement. If Purchaser notifies the Seller Parties within such three Business Day period, then the Parties shall endeavor in good faith to finalize such Applicable Closing Statement, which Applicable Closing Statement shall be final upon the approval of the Seller Parties and the Purchaser. As set forth in Section 1.02(b), the net amount of credits to Purchaser and the Seller Parties for Proration Items, as reflected on the Applicable Closing Statement, shall result in an increase or decrease of the Tranche I Unadjusted Purchase Price or the Tranche II Unadjusted Purchase Price, as applicable. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all items to be prorated and other adjustments to be made pursuant to this Section 1.04 (the “Proration Items”) shall be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. of the day immediately preceding the Respective Closing Date (the “Applicable Adjustment Time”) and the net amount thereof either shall be paid by Purchaser to the Seller Parties or credited to Purchaser, as the case may be, at the Respective Closing. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the purpose and intent of the prorations and other adjustments provided for in this Section 1.04 is that the Seller Parties shall bear all expenses of ownership and operation of the Purchased Assets, and shall receive the benefit of all income therefrom, accruing until the Applicable Adjustment Time, and Purchaser shall bear all such expenses and receive the benefit of all income accruing therefrom after the Applicable Adjustment Time. The Parties agree that any increase or decrease in the Adjustment Amount pursuant to this Section 1.04 shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Tranche I Unadjusted Purchase Price or the Tranche II Unadjusted Purchase Price, as applicable, unless otherwise required by Law (including by a determination of a Tax Authority that, under applicable Law, is not subject to further review or appeal). For purposes of clarity, the prorations made pursuant to this Section 1.04 shall apply to the Tranche I Assets for purposes of the Tranche I Closing Statement and the Tranche II Assets for purposes of the Tranche II Closing Statement.

(b) Proration of Rent.

(i) Base or Fixed Rent. Base or fixed rent paid by any Tenant under a Lease (“Fixed Rent”), and additional rent and other sources of income paid by any Tenant under any Lease or any other party with respect to the Properties (“Other Income”), shall be prorated as of the Applicable Adjustment Time. Purchaser shall receive a credit at the Respective Closing for any Fixed Rent or Other Income actually received by the Seller Parties on or prior to the Applicable Adjustment Time for the rent period in which the Respective Closing occurs in an amount equal to the Fixed Rent or Other Income for such rent period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and including the Respective Closing Date through and including the last day of the rent period in which the Respective Closing occurs, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the rent period in which the Respective Closing occurs. The Seller Parties shall receive a credit at the Respective Closing for any Fixed Rent or Other Income payable in the rent period in which the Respective Closing occurs but not yet received by the Seller Party in an amount equal to the unpaid Fixed Rent or Other Income multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and including the first day of the rent period in which the Respective Closing occurs through the Applicable Adjustment Time, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the rent period in which the Respective Closing occurs.

(ii) Delinquent Rent. Any Fixed Rent, additional rent (collectively, “Rent”) that shall not have been paid when due under any Lease as of the Respective Closing and for which the Seller Parties do not otherwise receive a credit pursuant to Section 1.04(b)(i) shall be referred to as “Delinquent Rent.” All such Delinquent Rent, if and when collected, shall belong to Purchaser, provided, that an amount equal to the product of (A) the actual amount of the delinquent rent in respect of all Leases, multiplied by (B) the Discount Percentage (expressed as a fraction), shall be credited to the Seller Parties on the Applicable Closing Statement; provided, however, in no event shall the Seller Parties receive a credit for any Delinquent Rent that is delinquent by more than 60 days.

(iii) Advance Rent Payments. In the event that any Purchased Entity or the Market Place Seller shall have received payments of rent or other charges under any Lease that relates to a period beginning after the Applicable Adjustment Time, Purchaser will receive a credit for such amount of rent or other charges.

 

4


(c) Proration of Taxes.

(i) If and to the extent that a Tenant is obligated pursuant to a Lease to pay real property Taxes directly to the applicable taxing authority, there shall be no proration of such real property Taxes.

(ii) If and to the extent that a Tenant is obligated pursuant to a Lease to reimburse the applicable Seller Party for payments of real property Taxes and such Seller Party has paid any such real property Taxes and has not, prior to the Applicable Adjustment Time, received a reimbursement for such real property Taxes from the Tenant, the Seller Parties shall receive a credit on the Applicable Closing Statement in an amount equal to such paid real property Taxes and Purchaser shall thereafter be entitled to receive and retain all such reimbursements.

(iii) Except as prohibited by any loan documents that encumber the Properties, if a Seller Party maintains an impound or reserve account for payment of real property Taxes using funds paid by the applicable Tenant pursuant to a Lease (a “Tax Impound Account”), the Seller Party shall retain the funds in the Tax Impound Account at the Respective Closing and shall provide Purchaser a credit on the Applicable Closing Statement for the amount thereof.

(iv) To the extent the real property Tax obligation in respect of any Lease is not addressed in Sections 1.04(c)(i), (ii), or (iii), the Seller Parties shall pay, at or prior to the Respective Closing, all real property Taxes to the extent due and payable prior to the Applicable Adjustment Time, and Purchaser shall pay all real property Taxes to the extent due and payable from and after the Applicable Adjustment Time, regardless of the period to which such real property Taxes relate and such real property Taxes shall be prorated as of the Applicable Adjustment Time between the Seller Parties and Purchaser as otherwise provided in Section 1.04(a), which proration shall be determined by apportioning such real property Taxes ratably over the taxable year on a daily basis.

(v) For purposes of this Section 1.04(c), in order to apportion appropriately any Taxes relating to any taxable year or period that includes a taxable period that begins before the Respective Closing and ends after the Respective Closing, the parties hereto shall, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, elect with the relevant Tax authority to treat for all purposes the Respective Closing as the Applicable Adjustment Time. In any case where applicable Law does not permit the Purchased Entities to elect to treat the Adjusted Time as the last day of the taxable year or period then, in each such case, the portion of any Taxes that are allocable to the portion of the period ending on the Respective Closing shall be (A) in the case of Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts, deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the taxable year or period ended as of the Applicable Adjustment Time, and (B) in the cases of Taxes not described in subclause (A) above that are

 

5


imposed on a periodic basis, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending as of the Applicable Adjustment Time and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire relevant period.

(d) Tenant Security Deposits. The Seller Parties shall grant to Purchaser a credit in an amount equal to the aggregate of the unapplied Tenant security and other deposits under the Leases that are held by a Seller Party or any Purchased Entity, as the case may be, in cash at the time of the Applicable Adjustment Time and are retained by a Seller Party after the Respective Closing, including all accrued interest thereon to the extent any Tenant may be entitled to receive such amounts in connection with the refund of any such deposit.

(e) Improvement and Reimbursement Costs. The Seller Parties shall grant to Purchaser a credit in an amount equal to the aggregate of the unapplied improvement and reimbursement costs set forth on Section 1.04(e)(i) of the Disclosure Schedules, and shall transfer to Purchaser the escrow accounts for unapplied improvement and reimbursement costs set forth on Section 1.04(e)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedules. Amounts being held with the Lenders in reserve accounts are set forth on Section 1.04(e)(iii) of the Disclosure Schedules, which accounts shall be assigned to Purchaser for use by Purchaser after the Respective Closing in accordance with Section 5.16(a).

(f) Proration of Expenses.

(i) If and to the extent that a Tenant is obligated pursuant to a Lease to pay expenses with respect to a Property, including water, sewer, electric, gas and other utilities and all maintenance charges and payments under reciprocal easement agreements, association documents and/or similar agreements (collectively, “Property Expenses”), directly to the applicable service provider or counterparty, there shall be no proration of such Property Expenses.

(ii) If and to the extent that a Tenant is obligated pursuant to a Lease to reimburse the applicable Seller Party for payments of Property Expenses and such Seller Party has paid any such Property Expenses and has not, prior to the Applicable Adjustment Time, received a reimbursement for such Property Expenses from the Tenant, the Seller Parties, provided the Seller Parties provide the Purchaser reasonable backup documentation of all such charges, shall receive a credit on the Applicable Closing Statement in an amount equal to such paid Property Expenses and Purchaser shall thereafter be entitled to receive and retain all such reimbursements.

(iii) If and to the extent that a Tenant is not required to reimburse the applicable Seller Party for payments of Property Expenses, all such Property Expenses shall be prorated as of the Applicable Adjustment Time.

(g) Closing Statements; Calculation of Proration Items.

(i) Applicable Time Period. The applicable Seller Parties will be charged and credited for the amounts of all of the Proration Items (other than real property Taxes and Property Expenses paid directly by the applicable Tenants) relating to the period up to and including the Applicable Adjustment Time, and Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the Proration Items (other than real property Taxes and Property Expenses paid directly by the applicable Tenants) relating to the period after the Applicable Adjustment Time. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the applicable time period which shall have elapsed prior to the Applicable Adjustment Time and based upon the actual number of days in the time period and a 365 day year. All prorations and adjustments made pursuant to this Section 1.04 shall be made without duplication whatsoever.

(ii) Tranche I Closing Statement. The Seller Parties shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Purchaser for its review and comment no less than five Business Days before the Tranche I Closing Date, a statement of estimated Proration Items for the Tranche I Assets and other credits and adjustments to the Tranche I Unadjusted Purchase Price hereunder (the “Tranche I Estimated Closing Statement”). In the event that the Seller Parties and Purchaser agree to revisions to the Tranche I Estimated Closing Statement, the Seller Parties shall deliver their revised, if applicable, statement of estimated Proration Items and other credits and adjustments to the Tranche I Unadjusted Purchase Price to Purchaser no less than two Business Days before the Tranche I Closing Date (the Tranche I Estimated Closing Statement or the revised statement, if any, the “Tranche I Closing Statement”). The Proration Items and other credits and adjustments reflected in the Tranche I Closing Statement will be paid at the Tranche I Closing by Purchaser to the Seller Parties (if the Proration Items, credits and adjustments pursuant to this Section 1.04 result in a net credit to the Seller Parties) or by the Seller Parties to Purchaser (if the Proration Items, credits and adjustments pursuant to this Section 1.04 result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the Tranche I Purchase Price at the Tranche I Closing.

(iii) Tranche II Closing Statement. The Seller Parties shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Purchaser for its review and comment no less than five Business Days before the Tranche II Closing Date, a statement of estimated Proration Items for the Tranche II Assets and other credits and adjustments to the Tranche II Unadjusted Purchase Price hereunder (the “Tranche II Estimated Closing Statement”). In the event that the Seller Parties and Purchaser agree to revisions to the Tranche II Estimated Closing Statement, the Seller Parties shall deliver their revised, if applicable, statement of estimated Proration Items and other credits and adjustments to the Tranche II Unadjusted Purchase Price to Purchaser no less than two Business Days before the Tranche II Closing Date (the

 

7


Tranche II Estimated Closing Statement or the revised statement, if any, the “Tranche II Closing Statement” and, together with the Tranche I Closing Statement, as applicable, the “Applicable Closing Statements”). The Proration Items and other credits and adjustments reflected in the Tranche II Closing Statement will be paid at the Tranche II Closing by Purchaser to the Seller Parties (if the Proration Items, credits and adjustments pursuant to this Section 1.04 result in a net credit to the Seller Parties) or by the Seller Parties to Purchaser (if the Proration Items, credits and adjustments pursuant to this Section 1.04 result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the Tranche II Purchase Price at the Tranche II Closing.

(h) Expenses. The Seller Parties shall pay the following costs and expenses: (1) all costs, fees and expenses, in connection with the assumption of the loans made to the Purchased Entities pursuant to the Assumed Loan Documents and the Market Place Loan Documents, including, without limitations, (i) the loan assumption fees of the Assumed Mortgages charged by the Lenders in connection with the transfer of the Purchased Assets (the “Loan Assumption Fees”), (ii) the Lender’s attorney fees, (iii) all costs, fees and expenses in connection with providing required legal opinions, and (iv) all costs, fees and expenses in connection with assigning reserve and impound accounts held by the Lenders on behalf of the Seller Parties, (2) all costs in connection with the discharge and release of any and all Impermissible Liens, including, without limitation, any prepayment or other fees payable to the lenders, the lender’s attorney fees and all costs, fees and expenses in connection with providing required legal opinions, (3) any swap breakage fees incurred as a result of the Transactions, and (4) all Transfer Costs.

Purchaser has the requisite organizational power and authority (i) to enter into this Agreement and all documents contemplated hereunder to be entered into by it, (ii) to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and (iii) to consummate the Transactions. The execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and all documents contemplated hereunder to be executed and delivered by Purchaser and the consummation by it of the Transactions have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Purchaser are necessary to authorize any of the foregoing. This Agreement has been, and all documents contemplated hereunder to be executed by Purchaser, when executed and delivered, will have been, duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Seller Parties, shall constitute the valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights and by general principles of equity.

4.02 Noncontravention; Consents.

(a) The execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and all documents contemplated hereunder to be executed and delivered by Purchaser does not, and the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder and compliance by Purchaser with the provisions hereof and thereof will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of Purchaser’s assets under: (i) the Organizational Documents of Purchaser, (ii) any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, management or other agreement or instrument applicable to Purchaser, or (iii) any Laws applicable to Purchaser, other than, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii), any such conflicts, violations or Liens that individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

(b) No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required under (i) any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Law applicable to Purchaser or by which its properties or assets may be bound, or (ii) any Contract to which Purchaser is a party or by which any of its assets or properties may be bound, in connection with the execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and all documents contemplated hereunder or the consummation by Purchaser of the Transactions, except for such other consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

 

21


4.03 Litigation. There is no Action pending or, to Purchaser’s Knowledge, threatened against or affecting Purchaser that, individually or in the aggregate, if decided adversely to Purchaser, would have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

4.04 Investment Representation. Purchaser is purchasing the Purchased Interests for its own account and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof (within the meaning of the applicable securities Laws). Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

4.05 Solvency. Immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any financing arrangements entered into in connection therewith) and assuming (a) the accuracy of the representations under Article III and (b) satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.02 and 7.04, the Purchased Entities, taken as a whole, shall be Solvent. Purchaser is not entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of the Purchased Entities. For purposes of this Agreement, “Solvent,” when used with respect to the Purchased Entities, means that, as of any date of determination (i) the Present Fair Salable Value of their assets will, as of such date, exceed the probable amount of their debts as of such date, (ii) the Purchased Entities will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the business in which they are engaged and (iii) the Purchased Entities will be able to pay their debts as they become absolute and mature, taking into account the timing of and amounts of cash to be received by them and the timing of and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of their indebtedness, in each case after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The term “Solvency” shall have a correlative meaning. For purposes of the definition of “Solvent,” (a) “debt” means liability on a “claim”; and (b) “claim” means (i) any right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured, or (ii) the right to an equitable remedy for a breach in performance if such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether or not such equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured. “Present Fair Salable Value” means the amount that may be realized if the aggregate assets of the Purchased Entities (including goodwill) are sold as an entirety with reasonable promptness in an arms-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises.

4.06 Financial Condition; No Financing Contingency. Purchaser has, and will have as of each Respective Closing (i) sufficient cash on hand (after taking into account availability and capacity under Purchaser’s existing credit facilities) to pay the Tranche I Unadjusted Purchase Price and the Tranche II Unadjusted Purchase Price, as applicable, and all related fees and expenses in connection with the Transaction, (ii) the resources and capabilities (financial or otherwise) to perform its obligations hereunder, and (iii) not incurred any obligation, commitment, restriction or liability of any kind, which would impair or adversely affect such resources and capabilities. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by Purchaser shall not be contingent upon Purchaser receiving or obtaining any loans or debt financing.

 

22


4.07 Financial Advisor. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Purchaser.

4.08 No Reliance. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that none of the Seller Parties or any other Person has made or is making any representations or warranties relating to the Seller Parties, the Properties, the Purchased Entities or the Market Place Seller whatsoever, express or implied, beyond those expressly given by the Seller Parties in Article III, including any implied representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Seller Parties, the Properties, the Purchased Entities or the Market Place Seller furnished or made available to Purchaser or any of its Representatives.

In the event Purchaser and the Seller Parties elect to issue a press release or other written public statement that contains a description or discussion of the Transactions (other than any such filing, presentation, press release or public statement that contains only such description as has been previously agreed upon) prior to the Tranche II Closing, each Party will consult with the other Parties before issuing, and provide the other Parties an opportunity to review, comment upon such release or statement, and shall not issue or deliver any such release or statement prior to receiving the consent of the other Parties, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall such press release or other written public statement include or reference any of the allocations set forth in Section 1.02 of the Disclosure Schedules or the Adjustment Amounts set forth in Exhibit B; provided, however, that this sentence shall not prohibit the Seller Parties from providing such allocations or amounts in connection with the performance of their obligations herein, including to any lender or holder of a right of first refusal or first offer or disclosing such allocations or amounts in connection with the title or deed for the Market Place Property.

26


5.08 Conveyance Taxes. Purchaser and the Seller Parties will reasonably cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all Tax Returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents regarding any real property transfer or gains, sales, use, transfer, value added and stamp Taxes, any transfer, recording, registration and other fees and any similar Taxes which become payable in connection with the Transactions, which fees and expenses shall be the sole responsibility of the Seller Parties.

5.09 Tax Treatment; Tax Returns. Where permitted by applicable Laws, for all U.S. federal, state and local income Tax purposes and other Tax purposes (but not including property Tax or conveyance Tax purposes), the sale and purchase of the Purchased Entities shall be treated as the sale and purchase of the assets of the Purchased Entities subject to the Liabilities of the Purchased Entities. Both the Company and Purchaser shall file all U.S. federal, state and local Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such treatment. The Company shall prepare and file all Tax Returns of the Purchased Entities as required by applicable Law for periods ending on or prior to the Respective Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Periods”); provided, however, that the Company shall provide to Purchaser drafts of such Tax Returns no later than 20 days prior to the applicable due date. The Company shall consider in good faith comments or proposed adjustments to such draft Tax Returns received from the Purchaser not less than 15 days prior to the applicable due date. Purchaser shall prepare and file all Tax Returns of the Purchased Entities and for periods including the Respective Closing Date but ending after the Respective Closing Date (“Straddle Tax Periods”). Purchaser shall consider in good faith comments or proposed adjustments to such draft Tax Returns for Straddle Tax Periods received from the Company not less than 15 days prior to the applicable due date. The Company shall be entitled to all Tax refunds for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Respective Closing Date, unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. Purchaser shall be responsible for preparing and filing all other Tax Returns of the Purchased Entities and of Purchaser with respect to the Purchased Entities and their assets and income.

5.10 Name Changes. No later than 30 days following the Tranche I Closing for the Tranche I Purchased Entities and no later than 30 days following the Tranche II Closing for the Tranche I Purchased Entities, Purchaser shall change the corporate names of the Purchased Entities to names that do not include the words “Inland,” “Inland Diversified” or any derivative thereof, or any terms confusingly similar thereto; and notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection such name changes; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be under no obligation to incur any additional liability, pay any amounts or perform any obligations required by the Lenders, or any of them, or any other party, as a precondition to any such Lender consent or approval that may be required to effect a borrower’s name change under the Assumed Loan Documents. If changing a borrower’s name under any of the Assumed Loan Documents causes Purchaser to incur any additional Lender fees or costs, the name change will be effected once the Assumed Mortgage is paid off. No later than 30 days following the Tranche II Closing and every 90 days thereafter, Purchaser shall certify to the Company as to the list of the Purchased Entities, if any, that still have “Inland,” “Inland Diversified” or any derivative thereof as part of their name. Purchaser shall have no right to use the “Inland” name in any new entity or any other matter following the Tranche II Closing. This obligation will survive the Tranche II Closing.

 

27


5.11 Distributions. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit or limit in any manner, and the Seller Parties and all Purchased Entities shall be permitted to, declare, set aside and/or pay any cash dividend or distribution in respect of limited liability company or membership interests or other securities or equity interests, whether or not in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, certain accounts of the Purchased Entities shall continue to be subject to the Seller Parties’ and their Affiliates’ daily cash “sweep.” Such cash “sweeps” shall be terminated prior to the Respective Closing.

5.12 Delivery of Books and Records. Concurrently with the Respective Closing, the Seller Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the offices of Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s property manager the following items in its possession: (a) originals of the Leases and Contracts (or copies thereof if originals are not available) and the following to the extent the same are in any Seller Party’s or its property manager’s possession or control; (b) copies or originals of all books and records of account, contracts, correspondence with tenants and suppliers, receipts for deposits, unpaid bills and other papers or documents which pertain to the Properties; (c) all permits and warranties; (d) all advertising materials, booklets, keys and other items, if any, used in the operation of the Properties; and (e) the original “as-built” plans and specifications for the buildings at the Properties. The Seller Parties shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser before and after the Respective Closing to transfer to Purchaser any such information stored electronically.

5.13 Post-Closing Access. After the Respective Closing, Purchaser will, from time to time, upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours, afford the Company and its representatives and agents reasonable access to all books and records related to the Purchased Entities for any periods ending on or before the Respective Closing Date, including all accounting records and data, for tax, accounting or other legal or compliance purposes. Purchaser will, and will cause the Purchased Entities to, maintain all books and records for the maximum time period required to comply with all applicable federal and state audit periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall be under no obligation to provide Purchaser or the Purchased Entities any U.S. federal, state or local income Tax Returns of any Seller Party or any Affiliate of any Seller Party other than the Purchased Entities.

5.14 Intentionally Omitted.

Except for those insurance policies set forth on Section 5.15 of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Assumed Insurance Policies”), the Seller Parties shall cause all property, liability, rent loss and other insurance policies for which a Seller Party or its Affiliate is the named insured to be terminated as of the Respective Closing. It is acknowledged and agreed by Purchaser that Purchaser shall procure, at its sole cost and expenses, replacement insurance policies effective as of the Respective Closing in form and type as reasonably elected by Purchaser, but at a minimum satisfying the insurance requirement imposed upon “Landlord” or

 

28


“Lessor” pursuant to each Lease. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer the Assumed Insurance Policies to Purchaser prior to the Respective Closing, and Purchaser shall pay any costs related to such transfer.

5.16 Assumption of Mortgages.

(a) Section 5.16(a) of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth information concerning the loans in effect and secured by the Properties listed thereon and Section 7.04(g)(xii) of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth which of those loans will be prepaid and discharged at the Tranche I Closing by the Seller Parties (the “Non-Assumed Mortgages”). The loans and security documents secured by the Tranche I Properties set forth on Section 5.16(a)(i) of the Disclosure Schedules that will not be prepaid and discharged at the Tranche I Closing are referred to as the “Tranche I Assumed Mortgages” and the loans and security documents secured by the Tranche II Properties (other than the Market Place Property) set forth on Section 5.16(a)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedules that will not be prepaid and discharged at the Tranche II Closing are referred to as the “Tranche II Assumed Mortgages” and, together with the Tranche I Assumed Mortgages, as applicable, the “Assumed Mortgages.” Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser’s acquisition of the Purchased Entities which own the Properties subject to the Assumed Mortgages will effect a change in control of the borrowers under the Assumed Mortgages and the other loan documents evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to the loans secured by (x) the Tranche I Assumed Mortgages, as set forth on Section 5.16(a)(i) of the Disclosure Schedules (such documents, the “Tranche I Assumed Loan Documents”), and (y) the Tranche II Assumed Mortgages, as set forth on Section 5.16(a)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedules (such documents, the “Tranche II Assumed Loan Documents” and, together with the Tranche I Assumed Mortgages, as applicable, the “Assumed Loan Documents”). The Company has delivered to Purchaser, and Purchaser acknowledges the receipt of, true, correct and complete copies of the Assumed Loan Documents. The Company shall advise the holders of the Assumed Loan Documents (collectively, the “Lenders”) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Purchaser and the Company shall work together and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain (1) the consent of each Lender to the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the sale of the Purchased Interests to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the resulting change in control of the borrowers under the Assumed Loan Documents, (2) the consent of the Lenders to the release of the existing guarantor and indemnitor of the obligations under the Assumed Loan Documents (the “Existing Guarantor”) and the replacement of the Existing Guarantor with the Purchaser (the “Replacement Guarantor”) and (3) the approval of the Lenders to a replacement “qualified manager.” Purchaser shall offer itself as Replacement Guarantor and replacement “qualified manager,” or such other party as may be necessary to satisfy the Lenders. All consents and related matters obtained pursuant to this Section 5.16(a) shall be documented in such commercially reasonable agreements as are reasonably required by the Lenders and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Seller Parties and Purchaser. Purchaser shall satisfy all “know your customer” and other customary diligence requirements, as the Lenders require, at Purchaser’s expense; provided, however, all costs and expenses of any required opinions shall be the sole cost of the Seller Parties. All reserves and impound accounts held by Lenders under the Assumed Loan Documents shall be assigned to Purchaser for use by Purchaser after the Respective Closing in accordance with the agreements governing the same, subject to credit to the Seller Parties under

 

29


Section 1.04 in connection with the applicable Assumed Loan Documents. Purchaser covenants and agrees that Purchaser (x) shall supply the Lenders with all documents, materials, and information as shall be reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with obtaining the consents of the Lenders and the other actions contemplated by this Section 5.16(a) and (y) shall not negotiate or request of the Lenders any deviations from the Assumed Loan Documents except (a) as expressly set forth in this Section 5.16(a), and (b) as necessary to update basic facts, such as name, address, state of formation, type of entity and the like, from those for the existing parties to those for the assuming borrower, its “qualified manager” and the Replacement Guarantor. The Company and Purchaser hereby agree to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain the consent of each Lender to the consummation of the Transactions as further set forth in this Section 5.16(a) as expeditiously as possible. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and Purchaser agree to invite each other to participate on all phone conversations with the Lenders, and copy each other on all material communications with the Lenders. The Company may negotiate the amount of Lender legal fees with each Lender.

(b) Section 5.16(b) of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth information concerning the loans in effect and secured by the Market Place Property. The loans and security documents secured by the Market Place Property are referred to as the “Market Place Mortgage.” Purchaser shall acquire the Market Place Property subject to the Market Place Mortgage by assuming the obligations of the Market Place Seller under the Market Place Mortgage and the other loan documents evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to the loan secured by the Market Place Mortgage, as set forth on Section 5.16(b) of the Disclosure Schedules (such documents, the “Market Place Loan Documents”). The Market Place Seller has delivered to Purchaser, and Purchaser acknowledges the receipt of, true, correct and complete copies of the Market Place Loan Documents. The Seller Parties shall advise the holder of the Market Place Loan Documents (the “Market Place Lender”) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Purchaser and the Seller Parties shall use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain (1) the consent of the Market Place Lender to the transfer of the Market Place Property by the Market Place Seller to Purchaser subject to the Market Place Loan Documents; (2) the consent of Market Place Lender to assumption by Purchaser of the Market Place Seller’s obligations under the Market Place Loan Documents which first arise or accrue on or after the Tranche II Closing; (3) the release of the Market Place Seller from any obligations under the Market Place Loan Documents which first arise or accrue on or after the Tranche II Closing; (4) the consent of Market Place Lender to the release of the existing guarantor of the obligations under the Market Place Loan Documents with the Purchaser (the “Existing Market Place Guarantor”) and the replacement of Existing Market Place Guarantor (the “Replacement Market Place Guarantor”); and (5) approval of the Market Place Lender to a replacement “qualified manager.” Purchaser shall offer itself as Replacement Market Place Guarantor and replacement “qualified manager,” or such other party as may be necessary to satisfy the Market Place Lender. All such consents, releases, and related matters obtained pursuant to this Section 5.16(b) shall be documented in such commercially reasonable agreements as are reasonably required by the Market Place Lender and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Market Place Seller and Purchaser. Purchaser shall satisfy all “know your customer” and other customary diligence requirements, as the Lenders require, at Purchaser’s expense; provided, however, all costs and expenses of any required opinions shall be the sole cost of the Seller Parties. Purchaser covenants and agrees that Purchaser (x) shall supply Market Place Lender with all documents, materials,

 

30


and information as shall be reasonably requested by Market Place Lender in connection with Purchaser’s assumption of the Market Place Loan Documents and the other actions contemplated by this Section 5.16(b) and (y) shall not negotiate or request of the Market Place Lender any deviations from the Market Place Loan Documents except (a) as expressly set forth in this Section 5.16(b), and (b) as necessary to update basic facts, such as name, address, state of formation, type of entity and the like, from those for the existing parties to those for the assuming borrower, its “qualified manager” and the Replacement Guarantor. The Company and Purchaser hereby agree to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain the consent of the Market Place Lender to the consummation of the Transactions as further set forth in this Section 5.16(b) as expeditiously as possible. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and Purchaser agree to invite each other to participate on all phone conversations with the Market Place Lender, and copy each other on all material communications with the Market Place Lender. The Company may negotiate the amount of the Market Place Lender legal fees with the Market Place Lender.

5.17 Transition. Purchaser, on one hand, and the Seller Parties, on the other hand, shall, at each Party’s sole cost and expense, cooperate fully with the other in connection with the transfer of the management of the Properties. In addition, each Seller Party hereby agrees to provide Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, copies of, or access to, such factual information in connection with this Agreement, the Purchased Entities and/or the Properties as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser to enable Purchaser to comply with applicable filing requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission or audit-related requests. This obligation will survive the Respective Closing.

ARTICLE VI

CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION; RETAINED PROPERTIES

6.01 In General. If, prior to the Respective Closing Date, a Property suffers damage by fire or other casualty other than a Total Loss (a “Casualty”) or a Purchased Entity receives notice or the Seller Parties have Knowledge of condemnation of a Property which condemnation does not give rise to a Total Loss (a “Condemnation”), the Seller Parties shall notify Purchaser of that event and provide Purchaser with details of the extent of the Casualty or Condemnation. Purchaser shall be bound to purchase the Purchased Assets for the Unadjusted Purchase Price (after taking into account the Price Adjustments set forth in Section 1.02(b)(i) and Section 1.02(c)(i), as applicable) as required by the terms hereof without regard to the occurrence or effect of any such Casualty or Condemnation.

6.02 Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds. With respect to any Casualty or Condemnation (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any Total Loss) affecting a Property after the date of this Agreement, the Seller Parties will allow Purchaser to participate in the negotiations regarding the settlement of any such claim for insurance and condemnation proceeds in excess of $100,000 and will not settle or compromise any claims in excess of $100,000 related to the damage, destruction or condemnation under the relevant insurance policies or against a Governmental Entity effecting the Condemnation without Purchaser’s consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Seller

 

31


Parties will provide to Purchaser copies of any material correspondence relating to any such claims and will advise Purchaser of all material developments concerning such claims. The applicable Seller Party will give the applicable Purchased Entity, or in the case of the Market Place Property, Purchaser, an assignment of such Seller Party’s right to receive insurance or condemnation proceeds from any Casualty or Condemnation if any portion of the insurance or condemnation proceeds are not collected before the Respective Closing.

interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” No provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in favor of, or against, any of the Parties to this Agreement by reason of the extent to which such Party or its counsel participated in the drafting thereof or by any reason of the extent to which such provision is consistent with any prior draft hereof.

Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in .pdf format, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.

9.07 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto and the documents and instruments delivered and to be delivered hereunder constitute the entire agreement of the Parties and their respective Affiliates and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confidentiality Agreement will remain in full force and effect in all respects. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties, the Persons entitled to indemnification hereunder, and in each case their respective successors, heirs, legal representatives and permitted assigns. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of the Purchased Entities shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the Seller Parties under this Agreement or agreements contemplated hereby or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the Transactions.

9.09 Assignment; Binding Agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement, nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement, may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties.

9.10 Enforcement.

It is accordingly agreed that, each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek specific enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States located in the State of Maryland or in any Maryland State court and each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.
