6.2              Purchaser shall have the right to examine title to the Property and shall notify Seller in writing on or before ten (10) days after the Effective Date of any objections that Purchaser may have. In addition, if any other title exception or defect not appearing in the Title Commitment as of the effective date of Purchaser’s first title examination shall be discovered prior to Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to notify Seller in writing of any objections that Purchaser may have to such additional matters. If Purchaser shall give Seller notice of objection to any title exceptions or defects not caused by any act or omission of Seller occurring subsequent to January 2, 2014 @ 5:00 pm, Seller shall have until expiration of the Feasibility Period within which to cure or satisfy such objection or to agree in writing to satisfy or cure such objection prior to Closing. If the objections shall not be satisfied by Seller prior to expiration of the Feasibility Period or by Closing if Seller has agreed in writing to satisfy or cure such objection prior to Closing, then, at the option of Purchaser, Purchaser shall have the right (a) to terminate this Agreement and receive the return of the Deposit or (b) to close the purchase regardless of such title objections without any adjustment in the Purchase Price. If Seller shall cure or satisfy said objections within the Feasibility Period or shall agree in writing to satisfy or cure such objection prior to Closing, then this Agreement shall continue in effect. Purchaser shall have the right at any time to waive any objections that it may have made. If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this section (other than with respect to the documents Seller agrees to provide in writing pursuant to this Agreement), then, in such event, Purchaser shall be deemed conclusively to have waived any objections not cured or satisfied by Seller (other than with respect to the documents Seller agrees to provide in writing pursuant to this Agreement), and Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase the Property, regardless of said objections. Purchaser agrees that the following items shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions” and Purchaser agrees to accept the Deed and title subject thereto:

Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, may cause to be prepared an environmental report for the Property (“Environmental Report”).

6.5              If, (i) as the result of any change or event occurring after the date of the initial Title Commitment, the Escrow Agent issues any update to the Title Commitment to add or modify requirements or exceptions or to modify the conditions to obtaining any endorsement requested by Purchaser, or (ii) as the result of any change or event occurring after the date of the Survey, the surveyor modifies the Survey in any material respect, then Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of any objections to such revisions, but in no event later than five (5) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of said update, in which event the same procedures for response, cure, termination and waiver set forth above, as applicable, shall apply to such new objections.

Promptly after it is determined that (a) Purchaser has no title objections, or (b) Purchaser has elected to proceed to Closing, Seller shall give notice of cancellation to each service provider under the Rejected Contracts. To the extent that as of Closing any of the Rejected Contracts have not yet terminated (due to less advance notice of cancellation than required thereunder) Purchaser shall assume the obligations of such Rejected Contract after Closing until the cancellation becomes effective.

Thus, all normal and customarily proratable recurring income and expense items of an asset sale of a improved real property, including, without limitation, Rents (as defined below), operating expenses, real and personal property taxes, any additional service contracts that Purchaser elects to assume and other operating expenses and fees of the Property, shall be prorated as of midnight of the day prior to the Closing Date, Seller being charged or credited, as appropriate, for all of same attributable to the period through and including the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (and credited for any amounts paid by Seller attributable to the period on and after the Closing Date, as to the Specified Contracts) and Purchaser being responsible for, and credited or charged, as the case may be, for all of same attributable to the period on and after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be given a credit against the Purchase Price for Security Deposits not applied prior to the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Leases. Purchaser shall assume at Closing the obligation to pay any payments due parties under the Specified Contracts, provided all of the foregoing have been prorated. Any real estate ad valorem or similar taxes for the Property, or any installment of assessments payable in installments which installment is payable in the calendar year of Closing, shall be prorated to the date of Closing, based upon actual days involved. Seller shall be responsible for all real estate and personal property taxes and assessments for all years prior to Closing. All real estate taxes imposed because of a change of use of the Property prior to Closing shall be the responsibility and obligation of Seller. The proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments shall be based upon the assessed valuation and tax rate figures for the year in which the Closing occurs to the extent the same are available; provided, that in the event that actual figures (whether for the assessed value of the Property or for the tax rate) for the year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date, the proration shall be made using figures from the preceding year. The proration shall be adjusted as provided in Section 7.1.3 hereof. Any special assessment liens encumbering the Property as of the Closing Date which arise from completed improvements located on the Property as of the Closing Date shall be assumed and paid by Seller. The Property Owner shall remain obligated to pay all other special assessment liens encumbering the Property. For purposes of this Section 7.1.2 and Sections 7.1.3 and 7.1.4 the terms “Rent” and “Rents” relating to the period prior to Closing shall include, without limitation, base rents and month to month fees. The provisions of this Section 7.1.2 shall survive Closing and shall expire at the end of the Proration Period (as defined below).

 

 

7.1.3        If any of the items subject to proration hereunder cannot be prorated at the Closing because the information necessary to compute such proration is unavailable, or if any errors or omissions in computing prorations at the Closing are discovered subsequent to the Closing, then such item shall be reapportioned and such errors and omissions corrected as soon as practicable after the Closing Date and the proper party reimbursed, which obligation shall survive the Closing for a period (the “Proration Period”) from the Closing Date until six (6) months after the Closing Date, other than taxes and assessments which will be until forty-five (45) days after Purchaser’s receipt of 2014 tax bills. Neither party hereto shall have the right to require a recomputation of a Closing proration or a correction of an error or omission in a Closing proration unless within the Proration Period one of the parties hereto (i) has obtained the previously unavailable information or has discovered the error or omission, and (ii) has given notice thereof to the other party together with a copy of its good faith recomputation of the proration and copies of all substantiating information used in such recomputation. The failure of a party to obtain any previously unavailable information or discover an error or omission with respect to an item subject to proration hereunder and to give notice thereof as provided above within the Proration Period shall be deemed a waiver of its right to cause a recomputation or a correction of an error or omission with respect to such item after the Closing Date. Any utility or other deposits or infrastructure reimbursements or payments relating to construction of the Property made prior to Closing, but reimbursed or returned after Closing, shall belong to Seller and Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller with respect to any such funds.

 

7.1.4        Since prorations are being made as if the Property was being sold to Purchaser as an asset sale of the Property, if on the Closing Date any Tenant is in arrears in any Rent payment under any Tenant lease (the “Delinquent Rent”), any Delinquent Rent received by Purchaser and Property Owner from such Tenant after the Closing shall be applied to amounts due and payable by such Tenant during the following periods in the following order of priority: (i) first, to the period of time after the Closing Date, and (ii) second, to the period of time before the Closing Date. If Delinquent Rent or any portion thereof received by Purchaser after the Closing are due and payable to the Seller by reason of this allocation, the appropriate sum shall be promptly paid to the Seller. Any monies received by Seller after Closing shall be forwarded to Purchaser for disbursement in accordance with the order of payment provided herein above. After the Closing, Seller shall continue to have the right, but not the obligation, in its own name, to demand payment of and to collect Delinquent Rent owed to Seller by any Tenant, which right shall include, without limitation, the right to continue or commence legal actions or proceedings against any Tenant (provided, that Seller shall not commence any legal actions or proceedings against any Tenant which continues as a Tenant at the Property after Closing without the prior consent of Purchaser, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and in any event shall not include an action to evict such tenant). Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller at no cost or liability to Purchaser in connection with all efforts by Seller to collect such Delinquent Rent and to take all steps, whether before or after the Closing Date, as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the intention of the foregoing, including, without limitation, to make available to Seller, within seven (7) days after a written request, of any relevant books and records (including, without limitation, rent statements, receipted bills and copies of tenant checks used in payment of such rent), the execution of any and all consents or other documents, and the undertaking of any act reasonably necessary for the collection of such Delinquent Rent by Seller; provided, however, that Purchaser’s obligation to cooperate with Seller pursuant to this sentence shall not obligate Purchaser to incur any liability or expense, terminate any Lease with an existing Tenant or evict any existing Tenant from the Property. The provisions of this Section 7.1.4 shall survive Closing and shall expire at the end of the Proration Period.

 

 

7.1.5        Purchaser shall pay the cost of all transfer, sales, use and excise taxes and recording costs (other than for title curative documents, which Seller shall pay) with respect to the Closing and one-half (1/2) of the Escrow Fees of Title Insurer. Seller shall pay the cost of the basic title insurance premium (including the non-imputation endorsement), the search fees in the Title Commitment and one-half (1/2) of the Escrow Fees of Title Insurer. Purchaser shall pay all other of Title Insurer’s fees and charges. Seller shall pay for (i) all costs (including recording costs) associated with curing any title exceptions and (ii) all costs (including recording costs) to payoff and release any Mandatory Removal Liens and to provide the Survey. All costs and fees other than those allocated in this Purchase Contract shall be paid by Purchaser and/or Seller in accordance with the custom of the city and state in which the Land is located. Except as set forth in Section 15.17, Purchaser and Seller shall each pay their own attorney’s fees associated with the Closing. The provisions of this Section 7.1.5 shall survive Closing and shall expire at the end of the Proration Period.

Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or of any of the organizational documents of Property Owner or any provision of law that otherwise so empowers the Property Owner, the Property Owner shall not be authorized or empowered to, nor shall the Property Owner institute proceedings to have the Property Owner adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Property Owner or file a voluntary petition seeking, or consent to, reorganization or relief with respect to the Property Owner under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, or seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Property Owner or a substantial part of its property, or make any assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Property Owner, or admit in writing the Property Owner’s inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or to the fullest extent permitted by law, to take any action in furtherance of any such action. The Property Owner shall not be authorized or empowered, nor shall the Property Owner consolidate, merge, dissolve, liquidate or sell all or substantially all of the Property Owner’s assets.

 

 

8.2.2        Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth above in this Agreement and the Closing Documents, the Interest is expressly purchased and sold “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.” The Purchase Price and the terms and conditions set forth herein are the result of arm’s-length bargaining between entities familiar with transactions of this kind, and said price, terms and conditions reflect the fact that Purchaser shall have the benefit of, and, except as otherwise provided in this Purchase Contract and/or in the Closing Documents, is not relying upon any information provided by Property Owner or statements, representations or warranties, express or implied, made by or enforceable directly against Seller or Morrow, including, without limitation, any relating to the value of the Property, the physical or environmental condition of the Property, any state, federal, county or local law, ordinance, order or permit; or the suitability, compliance or lack of compliance of the Property with any regulation, or any other attribute or matter of or relating to the Property (other than any covenants of title contained in the deeds conveying the Property and the representations set forth above). Except as otherwise expressly provided otherwise in this Purchase Contract if Morrow, Seller or Property Owner provides or has provided any documents, summaries, opinions or work product of consultants, surveyors, architects, engineers, title companies, governmental authorities or any other person or entity with respect to the Property, Purchaser and Seller agree that Morrow, Seller or Property Owner has done so or shall do so only for the convenience of both parties, Purchaser shall not rely thereon and the reliance by Purchaser upon any such documents, summaries, opinions or work product shall not create or give rise to any liability of or against Seller or Morrow, Seller’s partners, members, or affiliates or any of their respective partners, officers, directors, participants, employees, contractors, attorneys, consultants, representatives, agents, successors, assigns or predecessors-in-interest. Except for the warranties and representations of Seller and/or Morrow in this Purchase Contract and/or in the Closing Documents, Purchaser shall rely only upon any title insurance obtained by Purchaser with respect to title to the Property. Except as otherwise expressly provided otherwise in this Purchase Contract and/or in the Closing Documents, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that except as set forth in this Purchaser Contract or in the Closing, no representation has been made and no responsibility is assumed by Seller with respect to current and future applicable zoning or building code requirements or the compliance of the Property with any other laws, rules, ordinances or regulations, the financial earning capacity of the Property Owner, the continuation of contracts, continued occupancy levels of the Property, or any part thereof, or the continued occupancy by tenants of any Leases or, without limiting any of the foregoing, occupancy at Closing. Prior to Closing, Seller or Property Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enforce its rights against any and all Property occupants, guests or tenants.

10.1          Except for Engler Financial Group, LLC (“Broker”), Seller and Purchaser each represents and warrants to the other that it has not dealt with or utilized the services of any other real estate broker, sales person or finder in connection with this Purchase Contract, and each party agrees to indemnify the other party from and against all claims for brokerage commissions and finder’s fees arising from or attributable to the acts of omissions of the indemnifying party.

ARTICLE 11
POSSESSION

ARTICLE 12
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 

12.1          If Purchaser has not delivered its notice as provided in Section 5.2 on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, a Seller is not in default hereunder and Purchaser materially defaults hereunder on or prior to the Closing Date not cured within two (2) business days after written notice from Seller to Purchaser of such breach, and consummation of the Closing does not occur by reason of such material default by Purchaser not cured within such two (2) business day cure period, Seller and Purchaser agree that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to estimate the damages which Seller may suffer and Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that, except for the Purchaser’s obligations to Seller under Section 5.3, the reasonable estimate of the total net detriment that Seller would suffer in the event that Seller terminates this Purchase Contract for such material default by Purchaser not cured within such two (2) business day cure period, is and shall be, and Seller’s sole remedy (whether at law or in equity) shall be, the right to receive from the Title Insurer and retain the full amount of the Deposit. The payment and performance of the above as liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty within the meaning of applicable law and is intended to settle all issues and questions about the amount of damages suffered by Seller in the applicable event, except only for damages under Purchaser’s Surviving Obligations, irrespective of the time when the inquiry about such damages may take place. Upon any such termination of this Purchase Contract, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, each to the other, except for the Purchaser’s obligations to Seller under Purchaser’s Surviving Obligations, and the right of Seller to collect such liquidated damages for the Surviving Obligation to the extent not theretofore paid by Purchaser.

 

 

12.2          Provided that Purchaser has not terminated this Purchase Contract for reasons other than Seller’s default, and is not otherwise in material default hereunder, if the Closing does not occur as a result of Seller’s material default hereunder not cured within two (2) business days after written notice from Purchaser to Seller, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be (i) to elect to terminate this Purchase Contract and receive reimbursement of the Deposit and be paid by Seller Purchaser’s actual and verifiable out-of-pocket third party costs relating directly to this transaction in an amount not to exceed $100,000.00 plus the sum of any non-refundable commitment or rate lock fee paid by Buyer in connection with its financing of the Property, not to exceed Six Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($600,000.00) of the Purchase Price or (ii) to seek specific performance of this Purchase Contract.

 

ARTICLE 13
RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY

 

13.1          The risk of loss of damage to the Property by reason of any insured or uninsured casualty during the period through and including the Closing Date shall be borne by Seller. Seller and Property Owner covenant and agree to maintain all of its existing insurance coverage upon the Property in full force and effect until the Closing Date, without material modification thereto. In the event of any “material damage,” as hereinafter defined, to or destruction of the Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by notice given to Seller within ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified of such material damage or destruction: (i) unilaterally terminate this Purchase Contract except the Surviving Obligations shall survive and the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Purchaser; or (ii) proceed under this Purchase Contract with no reduction in the Purchase Price, receive any insurance proceeds due Seller or Property Owner as a result of such damage or destruction (including any rent loss insurance applicable to the period from and after the Closing Date), together with the amount of any deductible with respect to such insurance proceeds, and assume responsibility for repair of the Property. If the Property is not materially damaged, then Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Purchase Contract, but all insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to the period from and after the Closing Date), together with the amount of any deductible with respect to such insurance proceeds, shall be paid or assigned to Purchaser and Purchaser shall assume responsibility for such repair. For purposes of this paragraph, “material damage” means damages reasonably estimated to exceed $250,000.00 to repair, as determined by an independent insurance claims adjuster doing business in the county in which the Land is located, which claims adjuster shall be reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser and any loss of income is fully covered by the loss of rent insurance payable to Purchaser for the time it should usually take to permit and repair such damage.

 

 

ARTICLE 14
EMINENT DOMAIN

 

14.1          In the event that at the time of Closing all or any part of the Property is acquired, or is about to be acquired, by authority of any governmental agency (or in the event that at such time there is any notice of any such acquisition or intent to acquire by any such governmental agency), Purchaser shall have the right, at Purchaser’s option, to terminate this Purchase Contract (except the Surviving Obligations shall survive) by giving written notice within fifteen (15) days of Purchaser’s receipt from Seller of written Notice of the occurrence of such event and recover the Deposit hereunder, or to settle in accordance with the terms of this Purchase Contract for the full Purchase Price and receive the full benefit or any condemnation award. It is expressly agreed between the parties hereto that this paragraph shall in no way apply to customary dedications for public purposes that may be necessary for the development of the Property.

 

ARTICLE 15
MISCELLANEOUS

 

15.1          Exhibits and Riders

Subject to Section 15.19, except for an assignment to a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser or to a single purpose entity formed and controlled by one or more affiliates of Purchaser, in which event, the consent of Seller shall not be required provided Purchaser promptly notifies Seller of such assignment this Purchase Contract is not assignable by any party hereto without first obtaining the prior written approval of the non-assigning party. If Seller permits Purchaser to assign this Purchase Contract or if Purchaser assigns this Purchase Contract to a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser or to a single purpose entity formed and controlled by one or more affiliates of Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Section 15.2, Purchaser shall not be relieved of any liability hereunder.

No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission, or failure of performance hereunder shall impair any right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. No waiver, amendment, release, or modification of this Purchase Contract shall be established by conduct, custom, or course of dealing.
