(a)                Each Buyer is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and any and all other agreements, instruments, certificates and documents that are expressly required to be executed and/or delivered by the Parties hereby (the “Transaction Documents”), and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The execution, delivery and performance by each Buyer of each Transaction Document to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary company action on the part of each Buyer.

(b)               Neither the execution, delivery or performance by each Buyer of this Agreement or any Transaction Document to which it is a party, nor the consummation by such Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor compliance by such Buyer with any of the provisions hereof or thereof will (i) violate any Law, in each case applicable to the each or such Buyer’s assets or properties, or give any Authority or other Person the right to challenge any of the transaction contemplated hereby, or (iii) or violate any provision of the Organizational Documents of Buyers or any standing resolution adopted by the managers or members of Buyers.

(e)                Buyers are acquiring the Interests for their own account for investment, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof.

(f)                Each Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act.

Each Buyer has had access to such information regarding the business and finances of the Companies and such other matters with respect to the Companies as a reasonable Person would consider in evaluating the transactions contemplated hereby, including, in particular, all information necessary to determine the fair market value of Interests, and has made its own, independent determination of such fair market value. Each Buyer: (i) acknowledges that this Agreement, including the valuation of the Interests it is acquiring hereunder, was the product of an arm’s-length negotiation; (ii) has independently and without reliance upon Seller or the Companies, and based on information as Buyer has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and purchase the Interests it is acquiring hereunder; and (iii) has not received any investment advice from Seller or the Companies or the representatives of either or sought such advice from any of them as to whether the purchase of the Interests is prudent or suitable.

 

 

2.3              Survival. The representations and warranties contained in this Article 2 shall survive Closing.

 

Article 3
COVENANTS

 

3.1              Further Assurances. The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.1 shall require any Party to incur any costs or expenses other than (a) such costs and expenses as may be specified herein as being the responsibility of such Party and (b) any costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance or satisfaction of such Party’s express obligations under any other provision of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall survive Closing.

 

3.2              Resignation as Member; Amendment of Organizational Documents.

 

(a)                The Parties agree that, effective upon the Closing, Seller will have no further rights as a member in the Companies. The Parties agree that, effective upon the Closing, Buyers shall be free to amend the Organizational Documents of the Companies, and to take any and all such other actions, and amend any and all such other documents, agreements, instruments or certificates, as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and carry out the purpose and intent of the foregoing and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(b)               Effective as of the Closing, Seller, on the one hand, and the Buyers (each for itself and on behalf of the Companies), on the other hand, each hereby irrevocably releases the other from any and all manner of claims, suits, debts, charges, complaints, demands, causes of action, obligations, damages, or liabilities whatsoever of every kind and nature, at law or in equity, known or unknown, and whether or not discoverable, which the other has, had or may have (the foregoing, collectively, the “Claims”) for any period prior to and including the Closing Date arising out of, relating to, or in connection with Seller’s ownership of the Interests and Seller’s membership in the Companies, the LLC Agreement (as defined below) and the obligations of Seller, on the one hand, and the Companies and Buyers, on the other hand, to each other thereunder; provided, however, that the foregoing release and waiver shall not apply for any such claim, suit, debt, charge, complaint, demand, cause of action, obligation, damage, or liability incurred by reason of (i) claims and obligations that are created by this Agreement, or (ii) acts or omissions by either Seller, on the one hand, or the Companies and Buyer, on the other hand, constituting fraud or willful misconduct. In exchange for the foregoing release of Buyers with respect to any and all third-party Claims (including, without limitation, any Claim relating to any HFS Property or any tenant (including Bank of America, N.A.) audit right at any Property), Buyers shall be entitled to a credit at Closing in the amount of $650,000 (the “Release Credit”). Buyers hereby covenant and agree that, except for the Release Credit, Buyers shall not be entitled to any other amounts pursuant to Section 3.4 of this Agreement (or otherwise) with respect to any third-party Claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with Seller’s ownership of the Interests and Seller’s membership in the Companies, the LLC Agreement (as defined below) and the obligations of Seller, on the one hand, and the Companies and Buyers, on the other hand, to each other thereunder, even if such third-party Claims first arise and/or accrue after the Closing Date.

 

 

(c)                The provisions of this Section 3.2 shall survive Closing.

 

3.3              Transfer Taxes. The costs of the preparation of the Transfer Tax Forms (which for the avoidance of doubt Buyers shall be responsible to prepare) and the amount of all Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with this consummation and Closing of the Purchase shall be paid 50% by Seller and 50% by Buyers. The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.

 

3.4              Prorations and Credits. The Purchase Price shall reflect the satisfaction of the Loan and shall be adjusted to reflect (a) proration of any and all reserves, credits, receivables, payables and other items of income and expenses relating to the Interests and/or the Properties, (b) any preferential distributions, including a “promote”, due to the Buyers or their affiliates pursuant to the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Portfolio Holdings, as may be amended or restated from time to time (the “Portfolio Holdings LLC Agreement”) and/or the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Defeasance Pool Holdings, as may be amended or restated from time to time (the “Defeasance Holdings LLC Agreement”, and together with the Portfolio Holdings LLC Agreement, the “LLC Agreements”, and each, an “LLC Agreement”), (c) the Limited Loan Payoff Expenses (as defined below), which shall, subject to the definition thereof, be allocated 50% to Seller and 50% to Buyers, (d) the Release Credit shall be credited to Buyers, and (e) such other items as may be agreed between the Parties (and, for the sake of clarity, except as set forth in this sentence, there shall be no other adjustments to the Purchase Price for Transfer Taxes or for other sale transaction expenses, whether or not incurred and whether or not customary, such as brokerage fees, contingent reserves, legal fees or similar sales expenses). The aforesaid prorations and adjustments shall be made as of 11:59 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Proration Date”), taking into account income and expenses through and including the Proration Date. The prorations and adjustments shall be based on the Parties’ then best estimate of such amounts taking into account all then available information. At least ten (10) days prior to Closing, Buyers shall provide Seller their good faith determination of the Purchase Price as adjusted as set forth herein together with all supporting calculations and any supporting invoices or other information reasonably necessary for Seller to make an informed decision relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement and the estimate of the adjusted Purchase Price reflected therein, together with such other information as Seller may reasonably request. Subject to the foregoing, Seller shall review and work cooperatively with Buyers (and Buyers agree to work cooperatively with Seller) to mutually reach agreement on such determination promptly and prior to Closing, such agreement by either party not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All adjustments will be done as of the Proration Date and, for the avoidance of doubt, Buyers shall be entitled to all income and obligated for all expenses of the Companies first accruing as of the date immediately following the Proration Date. “Business Day” means any day except (i) a Saturday, (ii) a Sunday or (iii) any other day on which commercial banks are required or authorized by law to be closed in the State of New York. “Limited Loan Payoff Expenses” means the sum of (1) only the costs and expenses charged by the holder or servicer of the Loan in connection with the preparation and recordation of any satisfactions documents required to effectuate the Loan Payoff and other similar charges; provided, however, to the extent that in connection with the Loan Payoff any portion of the Loan or any security instrument in connection therewith is assigned to a new lender rather than satisfied, Seller shall not be responsible for any portion of any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the Loan Payoff other than pursuant to clause (2); plus (2) interest at the non-default rate payable pursuant to the Loan Agreement in connection with a Loan Payoff occurring on a Payment Date (as defined in the Loan Agreement) (i.e. standard interest from the 9th through the 14th of the calendar month in which Closing occurs); provided, however, if the Closing occurs on any date other than a Payment Date, the allocation of amounts chargeable to Seller pursuant to clause (2) shall be calculated as if the Closing occurred on the immediately preceding Payment Date. By way of example with respect to the foregoing clause (2): If the Closing occurs on June 9, 2014, the interest chargeable on the Loan through June 14, 2014 shall each be allocated 50% to Seller and 50% to Buyers. If the Closing occurs on June 12, 2014, the interest chargeable on the Loan through June 14, 2014 shall each be allocated 50% to Seller and 50% to Buyers and the interest chargeable on the Loan from June 15, 2014 through July 14, 2014 shall be allocated 100% to Buyers.

 

 

3.5              HFS Properties. The Parties acknowledge that all three remaining HFS Properties are, as of the date hereof, under contract to be sold, with two of the HFS Properties under contract to be sold to third parties and one of the HFS Properties under contract to be sold to an affiliate of Buyers (collectively, the “HFS Properties Sales”). The net proceeds from the HFS Properties Sales will be allocated between Seller and GPT Member at Closing in accordance with Section 3.4 and in accordance with their respective percentage interests as provided in the Organizational Documents of Portfolio Holdings. If for any reason, one or more of the HFS Properties Sales fails to close prior to the Closing Date, following the closing of such sale(s), Buyers shall pay to Seller its apportioned share of the net proceeds from such sale(s) in accordance with the Portfolio Holdings LLC Agreement in effect as of the date of this Agreement (despite the effects of Section 3.2(a)). To the extent any such net proceeds are delayed as part of an escrow holdback in connection with any such sale, post-closing adjustment of the pro-rations performed in accordance therewith or for any other reason, such additional proceeds shall be subject to Section 3.8, but shall not be subject to the time limitations set forth therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whether or not the HFS Property Sale to an affiliate of Buyers closes prior to Closing, Seller shall be entitled to the payment of the full amount of net proceeds Seller would receive thereunder, as if such closing occurred simultaneously with Closing and assuming that such transaction closed without any holdback of any portion of the net proceeds or other credit support of the seller in connection thereunder. This Section 3.5 shall survive Closing.

 

3.6              Loan Payoff. Subject to the proration of the Limited Loan Payoff Expenses as set forth in Section 3.4, at the Closing Buyers shall cause the Loan and all amounts due thereunder to be paid in full (the “Loan Payoff”).

 

3.7              No Trigger of Buy-Sell Rights. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Portfolio Holdings LLC Agreement has a lockout period that prohibits Seller or GPT Member from currently selling or otherwise transferring their membership interests in Portfolio Holdings without the consent of the other party. Seller and GPT Member hereby acknowledge and agree that neither this Agreement nor any of the transaction contemplated hereby will trigger any of the provisions of Section 6.2 of Portfolio Holdings LLC Agreement.

 

 

3.8              Post-Closing True-Up. Buyers and Seller shall, to the extent that information is not available to accurately calculate the prorations to be performed on or prior to Closing, recalculate such prorations taking into account all available relevant information. If applicable, such recalculation shall occur on or before December 31, 2014. Payment shall be made to the party hereto in which the net amount of such adjustments and prorations favor within ten (10) Business Days of the agreement on such calculations among the Parties. To the extent the Parties are unable to agree upon such calculations by January 14, 2015, the Parties shall submit such dispute to binding arbitration to resolve such dispute. This Section 3.8 shall survive Closing.

 

Article 4

TERMINATION

 

5.1              Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

 

(a)                by written agreement of Seller and Buyers;

 

(b)               by Seller, if any Buyer has materially breached its obligations under this Agreement, or by Buyers, if Seller has materially breached its obligations under this Agreement, in each case if such breach remains uncured for a period of at least ten (10) days after written notice thereof has been given by the non-breaching party to the breaching party; provided, however, that no notice or cure period shall apply to Buyer’s obligation to deliver the Deposit or any addition thereto required to extend the Closing Date;

 

(c)                by Seller, if there shall have been a breach of any representation or warranty by any Buyer set forth in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 4.2(a) would not be satisfied and Buyers have received written notice of such breach and failed to cure such breach within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice of such breach;

 

(d)               by Seller, if all of its conditions to close have not been satisfied by Buyers (or waived by Seller) by the Initial Closing Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to this Agreement), or by Buyers, if all of its conditions to close have not been satisfied by Seller (or waived by Buyer) by the Initial Closing Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to this Agreement) in each case, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE;

 

(e)                by Buyers, if there shall have been a breach of any representation or warranty by Seller set forth in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 4.1(a) would not be satisfied and Seller has received written notice of such breach and failed to cure such breach within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice of such breach;

 

 

(f)                by Buyers, in their sole and absolute discretion, upon written notice to Seller received no later than 5PM (NYC time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of this Agreement;

 

provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 5.1 shall not be available to a party whose failure to take any action required hereunder to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur prior to such date or a party that is in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement at the time of such termination. The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall give notice of such termination to the other party and the Escrow Agent.

 

5.2              Effect of Termination.

 

(a)                If this Agreement is terminated as provided in Sections 5.1(a) or (f), this Agreement shall become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any party to this Agreement and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyers.

 

(b)               In the event that Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Sections 5.1(b) or (e), Buyers, as their sole and exclusive remedy and relief hereunder may either: (a) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit; or (b) pursue the remedy of specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that Buyers shall only be entitled to pursue specific performance if: (i) any such suit for specific performance is filed no later than forty-five (45) days after the scheduled Closing Date; (ii) no Buyer is then in default under this Agreement; and (iii) each Buyer certifies to Seller that it is ready, willing and able to close in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(c)                In the event that Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Sections 5.1(b), (c) or (d), Seller shall be entitled to retain (and Escrow Agent shall be obligated to deliver to Seller) the Deposit as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy and relief hereunder; provided, however, that Seller shall only be entitled to such remedy if: (i) Buyers have not previously exercised a termination right then-available to Buyers pursuant to Section 5.1; and (ii) Seller certifies to each Buyer that it is ready, willing and able to close in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Seller and Buyers each acknowledge and agree that they have made this provision for liquidated damages because it would be difficult to calculate, on the date hereof, the amount of actual damages for such breach, and Seller and Buyers agree that these sums represent reasonable compensation to Seller for such breach.

 

5.3              Damages. In no event whatsoever shall either party be liable to the other for any punitive, special, or consequential damages.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

 

6.4              Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

6.5              Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right.

 

6.6              Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly contemplated in this Agreement, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including, for the avoidance of doubt, attorney fees) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby

 

6.7              Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be construed (both as to validity and performance), interpreted and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws. The Parties submit to personal jurisdiction in the State of New York for the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and waive any and all rights to object to such jurisdiction for the purposes of litigation to enforce this Agreement. The Parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, in any action, suit, or proceeding which any Party may at any time wish to file in connection with this Agreement or any related matter. The Parties hereby waive any objection which any Party may have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit, or proceeding in any such court; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 6.7 shall not be deemed to preclude any Party from filing any such action, suit or proceeding in any other appropriate forum if the courts above decline jurisdiction.

 

6.8              Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO SO, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREUNDER.

 

 

6.9              Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the Parties in an electronic format (including PDF) and in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

No Party shall be liable or bound in any manner whatsoever by any guarantees, promises, projections or other information pertaining to the Interests or the Purchase made, furnished or claimed to have been made or furnished by such Party, the Companies or any other Person, whether verbally or in writing, except as set forth in this Agreement. Each Party additionally acknowledges that none of the other Parties or the Companies or any of the employees, agents or attorneys of the foregoing have made any verbal or written representations or warranties whatsoever to such Party (other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement), whether express, implied, statutory, or by operation of law, and, in particular, that no such representations and warranties have been made with respect to the actual or projected revenue and expenses of the Companies or any subsidiary(ies) of the Companies or any laws, regulations and rules applicable to the Interests or the Purchase, the Companies or any subsidiary(ies) of the Companies or the compliance therewith, or, except as set forth in this Agreement, any other matter or thing affecting or relating to the Interests, the Companies, any subsidiary(ies) of the Companies or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

6.12          Tax Matters.

 

(a)                Tax Allocations. Upon the purchase of the Interests on the Closing Date, the Companies shall cease to be partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the Companies’ partnership taxable year shall end on the Closing Date. All profits and losses of the Companies (and other tax and book items of the Companies) for such taxable year shall be allocated among the members of each such Company as provided in the related LLC Agreement.

 

(b)               Preparation of Tax Returns Due on or After the Closing Date. Following the Closing Date, each Company shall prepare or cause to be prepared and filed a partnership tax return, including Schedule K-1s, reflecting the Company’s operations for the taxable year, and Seller’s Schedule K-1 shall reflect its distributive share (as provided for in the related LLC Agreement) of the Company’s tax items for the taxable year ending on the Closing Date. Such returns, including Schedule K-1s, will be prepared and filed by or on behalf of the Company in a manner, as to timing and process, consistent with the Company’s past practice. The provisions of this Section 6.12(b) shall survive until the filing of all of these tax returns.

 

(c)                Consistent Reporting. Pursuant to Revenue Ruling 99-6, the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be treated as (i) with respect to Seller, a sale of a partnership interest and (ii) with respect to Buyers, as if each Company made a deemed liquidating distribution of all of its assets to Seller and the related Buyer, and following this distribution, the related Buyer purchased from Seller the assets deemed to have been distributed to Seller. Each party hereto agrees to reflect on all tax forms or tax returns to be filed with any federal, state, or local governmental agency or taxing authority, the transactions contemplated hereunder (including any present or future allocations or distributions made by any Company) consistent with Revenue Ruling 99-6 and otherwise in a manner that to the greatest extent possible is consistent with the form of the transactions as evidenced by this Agreement and the terminology used in this Agreement.

 

 

6.13          Joint and Several Obligations. The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Buyers under this Agreement and all documents executed in connection with the Closing are joint and several.

 

6.14          Survival. This Article 6 shall survive Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

7.2              Maintenance of the Deposit. The Deposit shall be deposited in an interest bearing account at Citibank, NA or such other depositary institution at which Escrow Agent holds escrow accounts, and reasonably acceptable to Buyers and Seller.

 

7.3              Disbursement of the Deposit.

 

(a)                The Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller or to Buyers, as the case may be, upon the following conditions:

 

(i)                 to Seller, at the Closing;

 

(ii)               to Seller, as liquidated damages upon receipt of written demand therefor signed by Seller, stating that Buyers have defaulted in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and Seller has terminated this Agreement on account of said default of Buyers (it being agreed by Buyers that the Deposit is a fair and reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages and is not a penalty); provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not honor such demand until at least five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Escrow Agent shall have delivered a copy of such demand to Buyers, nor thereafter if during such five (5) Business Day period the Escrow Agent shall have received written notice of objection from Buyer in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.3;

 

(iii)             to Buyers, upon receipt of written demand therefor signed by Buyers, stating that: (1) this Agreement has been duly terminated in accordance with Buyer’s rights under this Agreement and that Buyer is entitled under this Agreement to the return of the Deposit; or (2) Seller has defaulted in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and Buyer has terminated this Agreement on account of said default of Seller; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not honor either such demand in either case until not less than five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Escrow Agent shall have delivered a copy of such demand to Seller, nor thereafter if during such five (5) Business Day period the Escrow Agent shall have received written notice of objection from Seller in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.3.

 

 

(b)               Upon receipt of a written demand for the Deposit made by Buyers or Seller pursuant to this Section 7.3, the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver a copy thereof (in the manner set forth herein) to the other party.

7.6              Limited Role. The Escrow Agent is to act hereunder as a depository only and is not responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for: (i) the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness, collection or validity of any instrument deposited with it; (ii) the form of execution of such instruments; (iii) the identity, authority or rights of any Person executing or depositing the same; (iv) the terms and conditions of any instrument pursuant to which the Parties may act; or (v) the loss of the Deposit or any interest (due to early presentation for payment, insolvency of the bank in which any portion of the Deposit is placed or otherwise).The Escrow Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those set forth in this Article, and shall not incur any liability in acting upon any signature, notice, request, waiver, consent, receipt or other paper or document believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine, and the Escrow Agent may assume that any Person purporting to give it any notice on behalf of any party in accordance with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

 

 

7.7              Indemnity. Unless Escrow Agent shall have been guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct, Seller and Buyers, jointly and severally, agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent and its partners and employees from and against any liability whatsoever, and shall promptly pay or reimburse Escrow Agent for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including any court costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by it in connection with its performance hereunder. Escrow Agent shall have no liability hereunder unless Escrow Agent shall have been found guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
