RECITALS

B. The Company owns the parcel of land located at 900 Milford Lane, Louisville, KY 40207 and described more particularly in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, together with all rights and appurtenances pertaining to such property, including any right, title and interest of the Company in and to adjacent streets, alleys, easements or rights-of-way, together with any improvements thereon, but subject to the Permitted Exceptions (collectively, the “Property”).

C. Purchaser desires to purchase the Interests and Seller desires to sell the Interests to Purchaser, subject to the terms and provisions set forth herein.

AGREEMENT

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

PURCHASE AND SALE

Section 1.1. Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Interests.

Section 1.2. Purchase Price. Seller agrees to sell and Purchaser agrees to purchase the Interests for the amount of $35,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”).

Section 1.3. Purchase Price Allocation. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the real property and the personal property comprising the Property as set forth on Schedule 1.3 attached hereto and that such allocations represent an arms’ length agreement based on Purchaser’s and Seller’ good faith judgment as to the fair market value of such real property and personal property. Purchaser and Seller shall each file all federal, state and local tax returns and related tax documents and all


other filings consistent with the allocations set forth on Schedule 1.3. The provisions of this Section 1.3 shall survive the Closing.

Section 1.4. Payment of the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price, as increased or decreased by prorations and adjustments as herein provided, shall be payable in full at Closing as follows: (a) application of the Deposit to the Purchase Price and (b) the balance of the Purchase Price in cash by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to a bank account designated by Seller in writing to Purchaser prior to the Closing with value to be received in such account no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time.

Section 1.5. Deposit. On or prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the third Business Day after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit with Land Services USA, Inc. (the “Escrow Agent”) an amount equal to$215,384 (the “Initial Deposit”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds, and failing which, Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Purchaser. On or prior to the Expiration of the Due Diligence Period, unless Purchaser has terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.4, Purchaser shall deposit with the Escrow Agent an amount equal to $215,384 (the “Additional Deposit”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds, and failing which, Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Purchaser. The Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit, plus any interest accrued thereon, shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Deposit”. The Deposit shall be deemed to have been fully earned by Seller upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall be non-refundable except (i) pursuant to Section 2.2(b), (ii) pursuant to Section 2.4, (iii) pursuant to Section 5.2 or (iv) in the event of a default hereunder by Seller and a termination of this Agreement by Purchaser under Section 6.1, and if the Closing occurs the Deposit shall be paid to Seller and credited against the Purchase Price at the Closing in accordance with the terms of Section 1.3. Until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit and all interest thereon and proceeds thereof subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 1.6. Escrow Agent.

(a) Escrow Agent shall hold and dispose of the Deposit strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any interest on the Deposit except as it is actually earned, or for the loss of any interest resulting from the withdrawal of the Deposit prior to the date interest is posted thereon.

(b) It is understood and agreed that the Escrow Agent’s sole duties hereunder are as provided herein and that the Escrow Agent in the performance of its duties hereunder is hereby released and exculpated from all liability except for willful malfeasance or gross negligence and shall not be liable or responsible for anything done or omitted to be done in good faith as herein provided. If either Seller or Purchaser makes a written demand upon the Escrow Agent setting forth the basis for such demand, for payment of all or a portion of the Deposit, the Escrow Agent shall send written notice to the other party of such demand and of its intention to pay over the amount demanded within two Business Days thereafter. If before the proposed payment date the

 

-2-


Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection to the proposed payment setting forth the basis for such objection, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to make such payment. If before the proposed payment date such other party (or its counsel) delivers to the Escrow Agent a written objection to such payment setting forth the basis for such objection, the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such objection to the party originally demanding payment, and shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by the joint written instruction of Seller and Purchaser or by a final judgment of a court which is no longer subject to, or the subject of, an appeal. In the event that a dispute shall arise as to the disposition of all or any portion of the Deposit held by the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall, at its option, either (a) commence an action of interpleader and deposit the same with a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Kentucky (either a Kentucky or Federal Court), pending the decision of such court, and shall be entitled to rely upon the final judgment of any such court with respect to the disposition of all or any portion of the Deposit provided that such judgment is no longer subject to, or the subject of, an appeal or (b) hold the same pending receipt of joint instructions from Seller and Purchaser and shall be entitled to rely upon such joint instructions with respect to the disposition of all or any portion of the Deposit. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to consult with counsel and be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses of such consultation with respect to its duties as Escrow Agent and shall be further entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with such activities. All such expenses shall be paid by the party whose position shall not be sustained.

(c) Each of Seller and Purchaser shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent an IRS Form W-9. The party receiving any portion of the interest earned on the Deposit shall pay all taxes on and with respect to the same. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any diminution in value of the Purchase Price, loss of any principal or interest thereon, or penalties incurred with respect thereto, for any reason whatsoever, provided the Purchase Price has been invested by the Escrow Agent as herein above provided.

ARTICLE II.

TITLE AND SURVEY; DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD

Section 2.1. Seller Diligence Deliveries. Within 10 days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver or make available to Purchaser either at the Property or through an electronic data room the information related to the Property in Seller’s or the Company’s possession listed on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Seller Diligence Deliveries”). Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller Diligence Deliveries will be delivered or made available to Purchaser by Seller as a convenience only, without any representation or warranty as to accuracy or completeness except as specifically set forth herein. Neither Seller, nor any affiliate of Seller, shall have any liability to Purchaser for any inaccuracy in or omission from such Seller Diligence Deliveries.

Section 2.2. Title Review.

 

-3-


(a) On or after the Effective Date, Purchaser may order (i) a title commitment (the “Title Commitment”) from Land Services USA, Inc., as agent for (x) First American Title Insurance Company, (y) such other nationally recognized title insurance company mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser or (z) an alternate title insurance company (or alternate office) selected by Seller pursuant to Section 2.2(c) (the “Title Company”), together with complete and legible copies of all instruments and documents referred to therein as exceptions to title, and (ii) a survey of the Property from a reputable surveyor or surveying firm reasonably acceptable to the Title Company (the “Survey”) reflecting the total area of the Property, the location of all improvements, recorded easements and encroachments, if any, located thereon and all building and set back lines and plottable matters of record with respect thereto.

(b) Prior to the Expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall deliver written notice to Seller of any title matters, other than Permitted Exceptions, identified in the Title Commitment or shown on the Survey (or any supplements or updates thereto) which Purchaser finds objectionable (“Title Objections”). Seller shall have 5 Business Days from its receipt of such title objection notice from Purchaser to notify Purchaser whether Seller commits to cause such Title Objections to be removed from the land records or insured over (and with any such matters proposed to be insured over by the Title Company) at Closing, provided, however that Seller shall be obligated to remove or cause the removal from the land records of all Monetary Liens at or prior to Closing. Any matters set forth in the Title Commitment or Survey and not so objected to by Purchaser (other than Monetary Liens) shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. If, for any reason, Seller is unable or unwilling to take such actions as may be required to remedy or remove from the land records any Title Objections (other than Monetary Liens) objected to by Purchaser, Seller shall give Purchaser notice thereof, it being understood and agreed that the failure of Seller to give such notice within 5 Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice of objection shall be deemed an election by Seller not to remedy any such matters. If Seller shall be unable or unwilling to remedy any Title Objections (other than Monetary Liens) as to which Purchaser has objected, Purchaser may elect either (i) to terminate this Agreement by notice given to Seller within 5 Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s notice, whereupon the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations to the other hereunder, except for those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement or (ii) to proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, notwithstanding such matters and without any abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price on account thereof. If any matter arises that was not previously disclosed in the Title Commitment or on the Survey (as same may have been updated), is discovered by Purchaser or by the Title Company and is added to such Title Commitment by the Title Company at or prior to Closing, Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days (and the Closing shall be extended, if necessary) after Purchaser’s receipt of such updated Title Commitment showing the new title exception, together with a legible copy of any such new matter, to provide Seller with written notice of its objection to any such new title exception (each a “New Objection”, and collectively, the “New Objections”). If Seller does not elect to remove or cure New Objections prior to Closing (other than Monetary Liens, which Seller shall be obligated to cure), which such election shall be given by notice to Purchaser within 5 Business Days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s notice setting forth such New Objections, Purchaser may, by written notice to Seller, either (i) agree to accept title subject to the exceptions which Seller is unable to remove or cause to be removed (in which case such exceptions shall be considered Permitted Exceptions) or (ii) terminate this Agreement, and in the latter event the

 

-4-


Deposit and accrued interest thereon shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter, except for those obligations herein which are specifically stated to survive the termination of this Agreement, neither party shall have any further right, liability or obligation under this Agreement.

(c) In connection with the issuance of an ALTA 15-06 endorsement to the Title Policy at Closing, in the event that the Title Company is unable or unwilling to issue an ALTA 15-06 endorsement to the Title Policy at Closing upon terms and conditions acceptable to Seller, Seller shall have a one-time right (but not the obligation) to elect that the Title Policy be issued by an alternate title insurance company (or an alternate office of the Title Company) selected by Seller from the list of title insurance companies set forth on Schedule 2.2(c) attached hereto. In the event Seller so elects, Seller shall deliver written notice to Purchaser stating Seller’s election, Purchaser shall engage the alternate title insurance company (or alternate office of the Title Company, as applicable) selected by Seller for the purpose of issuing the Title Policy and Seller shall be responsible for 50% of any additional search and exam fees resulting from Seller’s exercise of its rights set forth in this Section 2.2(c).

Section 2.3. Due Diligence Period.

(a) During the period (the “Due Diligence Period”) beginning on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on November 19, 2014 (the “Expiration of the Due Diligence Period”), Purchaser shall have the right, upon a minimum of one Business Day’s prior telephonic or written notice to Seller, to make a physical inspection of the Property, including (i) a non-invasive inspection of the environmental condition thereof and such non-invasive physical engineering and other studies and tests on the Property as Purchaser deems appropriate in its sole discretion and (ii) with Seller’s consent, which Seller may withhold in its sole discretion, further inspections of the environmental condition of the Property and further physical engineering and other studies and tests on the Property that are invasive or could alter the physical condition of the Property (including examination of materials, soil samples, and groundwater). Prior to performing any inspection or test (whether non-invasive or otherwise), Purchaser must deliver a certificate of insurance to the applicable Seller evidencing that Purchaser and its contractors, agents and representatives have in place comprehensive general liability insurance (with policy limits of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate) and for workers’ compensation insurance (with policy limits not less than statutory requirements) for its activities on the Property on terms reasonably satisfactory to Seller covering any accident arising in connection with the presence of Purchaser, its contractors, agents and representatives on the Property, which insurance shall name Seller and the Company as additional insureds thereunder and Purchaser shall bear the cost of all such inspections or tests. All third-party professional inspection companies or individuals shall be duly licensed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall give no fewer than two Business Days’ notice to Seller prior to inspecting any Tenant occupied portions of the Property. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.3, Purchaser upon prior notice to Seller may meet with the current property manager at the Property. At Purchaser’s request, and to the extent in Seller’s or the Company’s possession, Seller shall make available to Purchaser copies of the maintenance records and reports for the Property. Purchaser shall (i) exercise reasonable care at all times that Purchaser shall be present upon the Property, (ii) at Purchaser’s expense, observe and comply with all

 

-5-


applicable laws and any conditions imposed by any insurance policy then in effect with respect to the Property and made known to Purchaser, (iii) not engage in any activities which would violate the provisions of any permit or license pertaining to the Property and made known to Purchaser, (iv) not unreasonably disturb the Tenants or unreasonably interfere with their use of the Property pursuant to their respective Leases, (v) not unreasonably interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Property, (vi) repair any damage to the Property resulting directly or indirectly from Purchaser’s activities at the Property and (vii) not disclose any confidential information except as permitted under this Agreement or required by applicable law. Purchaser’s obligation pursuant to clauses (vi) and (vii) above shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b) Purchaser understands and agrees that any on-site inspections of the Property shall occur during normal business hours after the requisite prior notice to Seller and shall be conducted in accordance with the terms hereof. Seller reserves the right to have a representative present during any such inspections and property manager interviews. If the Closing does not occur, then on request by Seller and payment by Seller to Purchaser 50% of Purchaser’s out-of-pocket costs for any requested inspection reports, Purchaser will furnish to Seller any draft of final reports received by Purchaser and requested by Seller relating to any inspections of the Property.

(c) Purchaser agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and hold Seller and the Company harmless from and against any claim for liabilities, losses, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages or injuries arising out of or resulting from the inspection of the Property by Purchaser or its agents or consultants, excluding any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses, damages or injuries arising out of, and then only to the extent of, (i) Seller’s or the Company’s negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) any pre-existing condition discovered or revealed in the inspection of the Property by Purchaser or its agents or consultants. Purchaser’s obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and the Company pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.4. Right of Termination. At any time prior to the Expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser may elect, for any reason or no reason, to terminate this Agreement. Unless Purchaser delivers written notice to Seller prior to the Expiration of the Due Diligence Period stating that it is electing to terminate this Agreement, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 2.4 and to have elected to proceed with the purchase of the Interests pursuant to this Agreement, and the Deposit shall be non-refundable to Purchase except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. If Purchaser timely elects to terminate this Agreement under this Section 2.4, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for any indemnity obligations of either party and the provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive termination of this Agreement) and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser.

Section 2.5. No Reliance. Except as expressly set forth herein or in any document executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser at Closing, Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of any materials, data or information delivered

 

-6-


by Seller or its agents to Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated hereunder, whether occurring before, on or after the Effective Date. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that all materials, data and information delivered by Seller to Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated hereunder are provided to Purchaser as a convenience only and that any reliance on or use of such materials, data or information by Purchaser is at the sole risk of Purchaser, except as expressly set forth herein or in any document executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser at Closing. Except as specifically set forth herein or in any document executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser at Closing, neither Seller, nor any affiliate of Seller, shall have any liability to Purchase for any inaccuracy in or omission from any such materials, data or information.

Section 2.6. As-Is, Where-Is. Except as expressly set forth herein or in any document executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser at Closing, Seller is not making and has not at any time made any representations or warranties of any kind or character, express or implied, with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, any representations or warranties as to fitness for a particular purpose. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that upon Closing, Seller shall sell and convey to Purchaser and Purchaser shall accept the Property “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS”, except as expressly set forth herein or in any document executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser at Closing. Purchaser has not relied and will not rely on, and Seller is not and shall not be liable for or bound by, any express or implied warranties, guaranties, statements, representations or information pertaining to the Property or relating thereto made available or furnished by Seller, the managers of the Property or any real estate broker or agent representing or purporting to represent Seller, to whomever made or given, directly or indirectly, orally or in writing, unless specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any document executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser at Closing. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Purchase Price reflects and takes into account that the Property is being sold “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS.” Purchaser represents to Seller that Purchaser has conducted such investigations of the Property, including, without limitation, the physical and environmental conditions thereof, as Purchaser deems necessary or desirable to satisfy itself as to the condition of the Property and the existence or nonexistence or curative action to be taken with respect to any hazardous or toxic substances on or discharged from the Property, and will rely solely upon the same and not upon any information provided by or on behalf of Seller or its agents or employees with respect thereto, other than such representations and warranties of Seller as are expressly set forth herein or in any document executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser at Closing. Upon Closing, Purchaser shall assume the risk that adverse matters, including but not limited to construction defects and adverse physical and environmental conditions, may not have been revealed by Purchaser’s investigations, and except with respect to matters which by the express terms of this Agreement or any document executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser at Closing survive Closing and except for any claims arising out of the fraudulent actions of Seller, Purchaser, upon Closing, shall be deemed to have waived, relinquished and released Seller (and Seller’s officers, directors, shareholders, direct and indirect members, employees and agents) from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action (including causes of action in tort), losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, which Purchaser might have asserted or alleged against Seller (and Seller’s officers, directors, shareholders, direct and indirect members, employees and agents) at any time by reason of or arising out of any latent or

 

-7-


patent construction defects or physical conditions, violations or any applicable laws and any and all other facts, omissions, events, circumstances or matters regarding the Property.

Section 2.7. Environmental Waiver and Release. Purchaser and each of its members, directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, representatives, agents, successors and assigns waive and release Seller, the Company and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, direct and indirect members, employees and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all losses or claims of Purchaser that (i) arise under any environmental law with respect to the Property or (ii) arise from or relate to an actual, threatened or suspected presence or release of materials of environmental concern at, on, under or from the Property no matter when the same may have occurred.

Section 2.8. Survival. The provisions of Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 and this Section 2.8 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the removal of any Tenant in accordance with Seller’s current business practices, whether by summary proceedings or otherwise, prior to the Closing Date shall not give rise to any claim on the part of Purchaser. Further, Purchaser agrees that it shall not have a claim by reason of the fact that any Tenant now or hereafter in possession of part of the Property may be a holdover tenant or in default under its applicable Lease on the Closing Date.

-16-


hereunder shall be subject to the fulfillment on or before the Closing Date of each of the following conditions, any or all of which may be waived by Seller in its sole discretion:

(a) Escrow Agent shall have received the Purchase Price, subject to prorations and adjustments as provided herein, with unconditional instructions to disburse same in accordance with the agreed-upon settlement statement simultaneously with Seller’s authorization to release the documents for delivery to Purchaser, all pursuant to and payable in the manner provided for in this Agreement;

(f) the closing date under the Related Agreements shall be the same as the Closing Date hereunder, and the closing under the Related Agreements shall occur simultaneously with the Closing hereunder, unless any Related Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms thereof as the result of Major Damage.

Section 4.5. Credits and Prorations.

(a) Generally. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 4.5, the following items, without duplication, will be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser with respect to the Property as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, and the net amount thereof will either be (x) added to the Purchase Price that is due to Seller at Closing or (y) credited by Seller against the Purchase Price at Closing: (i) real property taxes and assessments, (ii) water rates and charges; (iii) sewer taxes and rents; (iv) prepaid license and permit fees to the extent such licenses and permits are being transferred to Purchaser hereunder, (v) amounts payable or receivable by Seller or its affiliates under any Contracts (including amounts pre-paid to Seller and not subject to refund under any Contract which is not terminable upon thirty days’ notice), (vi) statutory representation fees for the Company and (vii) all other items that reasonably require apportionment in accordance with local custom and practice to effectuate the transaction contemplated hereunder. Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate to provide such apportionment information to the Title Company not later than five Business Days before Closing, and the Title Company will prepare a closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) reflecting the apportionments and credits required under this Agreement.

(b) Governmental Charges. If the Closing Date occurs before the real property taxes, water rates and charges, or sewer taxes and rents are finally fixed for the current fiscal year in respect of the Property, then the apportionments thereof made at the Closing shall be upon 105% of the basis of the tax, water, or sewer rates for the immediately preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation, but after the real property taxes, water rates and charges, or sewer taxes and rents (as the case may be) are finally fixed for the current fiscal year, Seller and Purchaser shall make a recalculation of the apportionment thereof, and Seller or Purchaser, as the case may

 

-18-


be, shall make an appropriate payment to the other party based on such recalculation within 30 days after the parties agree on the recalculation.

(c) Utilities. If there are any meters measuring water consumption, electric or other utility costs at the Property, the unfixed rates and charges and sewer taxes and rents, if any, will be apportioned based upon the last meter readings. Seller will at its election either receive a credit at Closing for all deposits posted with any utility companies which shall then inure to the benefit of Purchaser or will arrange for the return of such deposits to Seller. In either case, it will be Purchaser’s responsibility to make arrangements with such utility companies regarding any deposit requirements for continued utility service to the Property.

(d) Fuel Oil. Fuel oil, if any, located at the Property on the Closing Date will be adjusted at the price in effect at such times as determined in writing by the fuel company then supplying fuel to the Property.

(e) Assessments. If, on the Closing Date, the Property, or any part thereof, is affected by any real property tax assessments which are currently due and payable, then Seller shall pay such assessments; provided, however, that if such assessments are payable in installments, then Seller shall pay installments due prior to the Closing Date, and the next installment shall be apportioned as of the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall be responsible for all such installments thereafter.

(f) Security Deposits, Rents and Charges Under Leases and Other Income Sources. Purchaser will receive a credit at Closing in an amount equal to all Security Deposits being held by Seller as of Closing (or applied or retained by Seller other than in the ordinary course of business). Purchaser will receive a credit at Closing in an amount equal to all rents and other charges collected by Seller prior to Closing for the number of days in the month of Closing remaining after the Closing and for any other period following Closing, including, without limitation, any prepaid rents. Seller hereby reserves the right to institute legal proceedings, without, however, any claim for eviction, after the Closing against any Tenant to collect rent and charge collections with respect to the Property due to Seller for rents and charges in arrears as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to collect any such rents and charges in arrears of the Closing Date, and any such amounts that Purchaser collects on or after the Closing Date shall be applied first to the month in which the Closing occurs, and then to rent and charges due but unpaid in reverse chronological order. Purchaser in the good faith exercise of its business judgment shall have the right to forgive or compromise any past due rents as part of a settlement with a delinquent tenant, and Seller agrees not to bring suit against any delinquent tenant for sums payable under the Leases. The foregoing covenant not to sue shall not apply to any tenant who has vacated its space (unless, if in connection with the termination of such tenant’s lease, Purchaser has forgiven or compromised past due rent).

(g) Rent Ready. For any apartment unit that is vacated on or before the date that is seven (7) days prior to Closing, Seller shall, at Seller’s election, either (i) credit Purchaser $500.00 for the cost and expenses to put the unit in Rent Ready Condition or (ii) cause such apartment unit to be in Rent Ready Condition as of the date of Closing.

 

-19-

(h) deliver an executed counterpart to the Closing Statement;

(i) make available to Purchaser, to the extent not already provided, the Leases and Contracts, together with such leasing and property files and records located in the property manager’s office for the Property which relate to the continued operation, leasing and maintenance of the Property, but excluding any documents of a confidential nature;

(j) deliver to Purchaser possession and occupancy of the Property (including all keys, lock combinations, and pass keys), subject to the Permitted Exceptions, rights of Tenants and terms of the Contracts;

(b) deliver to Seller an executed counterpart to the Assignment and Assumption of Membership Interests;

(c) in the event that any representation or warranty of Purchaser set forth in Section 3.2 needs to be modified due to changes since the Effective Date, deliver to Seller a certificate (the “Purchaser Closing Certificate”), dated as of the Closing Date and duly executed by Purchaser, identifying any representation or warranty that is not, or no longer is, true and correct and explaining the state of facts giving rise to such change.

Section 5.2. Major Damage.

(a) In the event of Property Damage constituting Major Damage, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement only by written notice to Seller. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement within 10 Business Days after Seller sends Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of such Major Damage, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Property, in which event Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any property or casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating

 

-22-


to the Property and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy or the cost of such repairs as reasonably determined by Purchaser and Seller. If Purchaser timely elects to terminate this Agreement under this Section 5.2, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for any indemnity obligations of either party and the provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive termination of this Agreement) and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser.

(b) Seller has the right to pursue payment of any awards or proceeds in connection with any such condemnation proceeding and/or the settlement or negotiation of any insurance claim. In the event this Agreement is not terminated as the result of such Major Damage pursuant to the terms hereof, Purchaser shall have the right to participate in the settlement or negotiation of claims for all awards or proceeds and/or participate in any proceedings related to a condemnation of the Property and, in connection therewith, Seller shall, and shall cause the Company to, promptly deliver to Purchaser upon request all material documents received by Seller in connection with the foregoing.

ARTICLE VI.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Section 6.1. Default by Seller; Purchaser’s Remedies. In the event the sale of the Property as contemplated hereunder is not consummated due to Seller’s default hereunder, and Purchaser has notified Seller in writing of such default and is not in default under this Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, either (i) to receive the return of the Deposit, together with reimbursement from Seller for all of Purchaser’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement in an amount not to exceed $50,000, in which event this Agreement shall be terminated and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any obligation under the Agreement except the obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement or (ii) to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligation to convey title to the Property in accordance with this Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the remedy of specific performance shall not be available to enforce any other obligation of Seller hereunder; provided, however, if such Seller’s default (if curable) is cured within 10 Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof from Purchaser, Purchaser shall not be entitled to exercise the remedies in clauses (i) and (ii) above. Except as set forth above, Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages of any kind in the event of Seller’s default hereunder. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit and reimbursement of its expenses as provided above if Purchaser fails to file suit against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county in which the Property is located, on or before 30 days following the date upon which Closing was to have occurred.

Section 6.2. Default by Purchaser; Seller’s Remedies.

 

-23-


(a) In the event the sale of the Property as contemplated hereunder is not consummated due to Purchaser’s default hereunder, and Purchaser’s default (if curable) is not cured within 10 Business Days after receipt of written notice from Seller, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit as liquidated damages for the breach of this Agreement.

(b) THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT SELLER’S ECONOMIC DETRIMENT RESULTING FROM THE REMOVAL OF THE PROPERTY FROM THE REAL ESTATE MARKET FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AND ANY CARRYING AND OTHER COSTS INCURRED AFTER THE REMOVAL OF THE PROPERTY FROM THE REAL ESTATE MARKET ARE IMPRACTICABLE OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN. THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT WILL BE INCURRED BY SELLER IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO A DEFAULT OR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER. PURCHASER AGREES THAT IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO SUCH DEFAULT OR BREACH BY PURCHASER OF PURCHASER’S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, SELLER, AS ITS SOLE REMEDY, SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE AND RETAIN THE DEPOSITS AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, WHICH SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY. THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION ALSO SHALL NOT SERVE AS A LIMITATION ON THE AMOUNT OF ATTORNEYS’ FEES THAT SELLER MAY PURSUE OR COLLECT FROM PURCHASER IN THE EVENT SELLER INCURS ATTORNEYS’ FEES IN ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT OR RETAIN THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES REFERRED TO HEREIN (AND SELLER IS THE PREVAILING PARTY IN SUCH DISPUTE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 7.15 BELOW).

Section 6.3. Indemnification Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 to the contrary, in no event shall the provisions of Sections 6.1 or 6.2 limit the damages recoverable by either party against the other due to the other party’s obligation to indemnify such party in accordance with this Agreement. This Section 6.3 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1. Confidentiality.

(a) Except as required by law, Purchaser and its representatives shall hold in strictest confidence all data and information obtained with respect to Seller or its business, whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, except (i) such data and information that is or may be required to be disclosed by Purchaser under any law, rule, regulation, court order or other judicial process and (ii) such data and information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure in breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that Purchaser may disclose such data and information to the directors, trustees, advisors, employees, lenders, consultants, accountants and attorneys of Purchaser and its affiliates, provided that Purchaser instructs such persons to treat such data and information confidentially. In the event this Agreement is terminated or Purchaser fails to perform hereunder, Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller or destroy any statements, documents, schedules, exhibits or other written information obtained from Seller in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated herein. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or its agents or representatives of this Section 7.1, Seller shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Purchaser or its agents or representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part, such confidential information. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Seller from pursuing any other available remedy at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, but in no event shall Purchaser be liable to Seller for punitive or consequential damages.

(b) Seller or Purchaser may release to the public information describing in general terms the sale contemplated hereunder, but all references to Seller or any direct or indirect owners of Seller or to the Purchase Price in any such release are subject to the prior written approval of Seller, which approval Seller may withhold in its sole discretion.

(c) Notwithstanding the terms of Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(b) to the contrary, Seller acknowledges that Purchaser is affiliated with publicly traded real estate investment trusts, namely Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (“IRT”) and RAIT Financial Trust (“RAIT”, and together with IRT, the “REITs”), and either of the REITs may determine in their reasonable discretion that the public disclosure of any information subject to Section 7.1 is necessary or advisable under applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, information regarding the terms of this Agreement, the Purchase Price, the Property and Seller) and Seller agrees that any such disclosure by the REITs, the Purchaser or their respective affiliates or representatives shall not be deemed a violation of the provisions of Section 7.1 and shall not be subject to the prior written approval of Seller (including, without limitation, any such disclosure made pursuant to the provisions of current, quarterly and annual report forms promulgated under applicable securities laws and in connection with any securities offerings by the REITs).

(d) The provisions of this Section 7.1 shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the Closing for a period of three (3) years.

 

-25-


Section 7.2. Seller Confidentiality and Trading. Seller acknowledges that, through the course of the transaction contemplated hereunder, Seller may be provided by the Purchaser or its affiliates with information regarding Purchaser and Purchaser’s affiliates including, without limitation, the REITs (collectively, the “Purchaser Parties”). Except as required by law, Seller and its representatives shall hold in strictest confidence all data and information obtained with respect to Purchaser Parties or their respective businesses, whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, except such information (i) that is or may be required to be disclosed by Seller under any law, rule, regulation, court order or other judicial process and (ii) that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure in breach of this Agreement, (iii) becomes lawfully available to Seller on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Purchaser Party or one of its agents or representatives, which is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to any Purchaser Party or any other party with respect to any portion of the information or (iv) was lawfully known to Seller on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to Seller by a Purchaser Party or one of its agents or representatives; provided, however, that Seller may disclose such information to the employees and attorneys of Seller and its direct and indirect owners to the extent reasonably necessary in connection herewith, provided that Seller instructs such persons to treat such information confidentially. Seller acknowledges that it is aware, and that Seller has advised each recipient it has provided such information, that the securities laws of the United States prohibit any person who has material non-public information to purchase or sell securities of an issuer without the prior public dissemination of such information. Seller further agrees that it will not use such information to make an investment, or communicate such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities, in any manner inconsistent with the securities laws of the United States. The provisions of this Section 7.2 shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the Closing for a period of three (3) years.

Section 7.3. Record Access and Retention. Seller shall provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense) copies of, or shall provide Purchaser reasonable access to, such factual information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, and in the possession or control of Seller, or its property manager or accountants, to enable Purchaser’s auditor to conduct an audit, in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, or as may be reasonably required by Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser to make any required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authority, of the balance sheet and income statements of the Property for the year to date of the year in which Closing occurs plus the two immediately preceding calendar years.

Any termination by Seller or Purchaser under any of the Related Agreements (other than a termination in connection with a casualty or condemnation pursuant to the terms of such Related Agreement, which shall apply solely to the Related Agreement for the affected property) will be deemed to be a termination by such party of this Agreement. Any default by Seller or Purchaser under any of the Related Agreements will be deemed to be a default by such party under this Agreement.

Section 7.5. Assignment. Purchaser may not assign its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be granted or denied in Seller’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign this Agreement to a wholly owned subsidiary or name a wholly owned nominee to take title to the Property without Seller’s consent. However, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of any such assignment. No assignment, whether with or without the consent of Seller, shall operate to release Purchaser from or alter Purchaser’s primary liability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(a) Seller shall prepare and file (or prior to Closing, cause the Company to prepare and file) any and all returns, declarations, reports, elections, claims for refund or information returns or other statements or forms relating to, filed or required to be filed with any Tax authority, including any schedule or attachment thereto or any amendment thereof (each, a “Tax Return”) required to be filed by the Company for all tax periods of the Company that end on or before the Closing Date, and shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes shown due thereon. Seller shall provide Purchaser with copies of each such Tax Return at least ten (10) days prior to each such Tax Return’s due date and permit Purchaser to review and comment on each such Tax Return. Purchaser shall cause the Company to timely file any Tax Returns with a filing due date that is after the Closing Date for tax periods of the Company that begin after the Closing Date and shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes with respect to such tax periods. Purchaser agrees to cause the appropriate corporate officer to execute any Tax Return of the Company which Seller is required to prepare and file under this Section 7.20(a). For purposes hereof, “Tax” or “Taxes” means any and all taxes, fees, levies, duties, tariffs, imposts, and other charges of any kind (together with any and all interest, penalties, additions to tax and additional amounts imposed with respect thereto) imposed by any government or taxing authority, including taxes or other charges on or with respect to income, franchises, windfall or other profits, gross receipts, property, sales, use, capital stock, payroll, employment, social security, workers’ compensation, unemployment compensation, or net worth; taxes or other charges in the nature of excises, withholding, ad valorem, stamp, transfer, value added, or gains taxes; license, registration and documentation fees; and customs’ duties, tariffs, and similar charges other than any such amounts subject to proration pursuant to Section 4.5.

-30-


contract or pursuant to any similar law, rule or regulation for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (determined in accordance with Section 7.20(c) below).

(c) In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), (i) the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company for the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date and (ii) the amount of Taxes other than those based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company for such Straddle Period that relates to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(ii) Purchaser and Seller further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).
