Buyer waives and releases any claims by and on behalf of itself, its agents, representatives and contractors regarding any injury sustained while on the Real Estate, excepting claims for the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller and/or its agents, employees or contractors.

Upon receipt of such notice prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Buyer.

5.1.1           Seller shall arrange for a billing under all those Service Contracts for which fees are based on usage and with utility companies for a billing for utilities, to include all utilities or services used up to the Closing Date, and Seller shall pay the resultant bills.

5.1.2       Real estate taxes, general, special and/or betterment assessments and personal property taxes (collectively "Taxes") shall be prorated for those Taxes which are due and payable during the calendar or other fiscal tax year in which the Closing Date occurs.  In the event that as of the Closing Date the actual tax bills for the tax year or years in question are not available and the amount of taxes to be prorated as aforesaid cannot be ascertained, then rates, millages and assessed valuation of the previous year, with known changes, shall be used; and after the Closing occurs and when the actual amount of taxes for the year or years in question shall be determinable, such taxes will be re-prorated between the parties to reflect the actual amount of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall be liable for payment of the full amount of any and all roll-back taxes, if any, owed with respect to the Property.

 

5.1.3       Rentals and other payments (other than "percentage rent" and common area maintenance charges which are dealt with in Section 5.1.4 and Section 5.1.6) which are payable pursuant to Space Leases shall be prorated on a per diem basis as and when collected (subject to the provisions of Section 5.3). Buyer shall not be obligated to make any payment or give any credit to Seller on account of or by reason of any rental or other payments which are unpaid as of the Closing Date, but shall be required to turn over Seller's share of the same within ten (10) days if, as and when received by Buyer after the Closing; this provision shall survive Closing.

 

5.1.4       Percentage rent, if any, payable under each Space Lease shall be prorated with respect to the lease year thereunder in which Closing occurs on a per diem basis as and when collected. Any percentage rent collected by Buyer including any percentage rent which is delinquent and pertaining to (i) an entire lease year or accounting period of a tenant under a Space Lease which ends on a date prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) that portion of a lease year or accounting period of such tenant covering a period prior to the Closing Date where such lease year or accounting period begins prior to the Closing Date and ends thereafter shall in both cases be paid to Seller within ten (10) days of receipt by Buyer; and if any tenant's Space Lease provides for offsets or deductions against percentage rent, then such offsets or deductions shall be prorated in the same manner as the percentage rent itself is prorated. This provision shall survive Closing. Any percentage rent received by Seller which is to be paid to Buyer under this Section 5 shall be paid to Buyer within ten (10) days of receipt by Seller.

 

5.1.5      Gas, water, electricity, heat, fuel, sewer and other utilities charges to which Section 5.1.1 cannot be applied, and the governmental licenses, permits and inspection fees and operating expenses relating to the Shopping Center, shall be prorated on a per diem basis.

 

5.1.6       Common area maintenance expenses and charges shall be prorated. Seller shall be responsible for all common area expenses and charges incurred prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer shall be responsible for the same on and subsequent to the Closing Date. All common area expense payments made by each tenant and such charges paid under its Space Lease for the entire lease year during which the Closing occurs, including end-of-year adjustments, if any, shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer in the following manner: Not later than three (3) days prior to Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, with regard to each Shopping Center tenant required to pay common area charges, Taxes and similar expenses ("CAM Charges") under its Space Lease, a detailed computation showing all CAM Charge expenses incurred by Seller for the period from the beginning of each such tenant's then current billing period for CAM Charges (e.g., calendar year, lease year, etc.) through the Closing Date, any CAM estimated payments or charges collected by Seller relating to such tenant (hereinafter "CAM Estimates"), and a bill for the tenant's pro rata share of CAM Charges (i.e., for CAM charges through the Closing Date net of any such CAM Estimates held by Seller), together with all invoices and other evidence documenting such CAM Charges in detail required by such tenant's Space Lease. Upon approval by Buyer, Buyer and Seller shall instruct Escrow Agent to send any such bills to tenants promptly following Closing, in which event such tenant shall pay any amount shown due directly to Seller, and except as otherwise stated in Section 5.3.3 below Buyer shall have no responsibility to collect same. However, if any tenant rightfully refuses to pay such bill for CAM Charges due through the Closing Date, then Buyer shall resubmit such bill to any such tenant at the same time as Buyer next submits Buyer's own bill to any such tenant; and any payment thereafter made by any such tenant on account of CAM Charges shall belong to and be forwarded within ten (10) days of its receipt to Seller until Seller's bill is paid in full, provided, however, such amounts shall be applied first to any amounts due and owing to Buyer for any such CAM Charges for the period in which Buyer owns the Property and then to any delinquent CAM Charges due Seller for the period through the Closing Date.

 

 

Any CAM Estimates for any tenant shall be retained by Seller up to the amount of the pre-Closing CAM Charges payable by such tenant as evidenced by such bills and computations delivered by Seller at Closing, and Buyer shall receive a credit for any excess CAM Estimates collected by Seller.

 

5.1.7       All unpaid tenant improvement costs or allowances, free rent periods or rental abatements, concessions and other inducements and all brokerage commissions and referral fees relating to the Space Leases shall be the obligation of Seller.

 

(a) The parties acknowledge that the Space Lease for Natural Spa (the "Natural Spa Lease") contains a tenant allowance in the amount of Nine Thousand Two Hundred Fifty and 00/100ths Dollars ($9,250.00). If any of such amounts shall remain unpaid on Closing Date, Seller shall deposit the foregoing sums into an escrow account with Escrow Agent at Closing and then Escrow Agent shall disburse such amounts upon the joint direction of Seller and Buyer when and to the extent that the tenant under the Natural Spa Lease ("Natural Spa") has satisfied the conditions for receipt of any portion of the tenant allowance under the Natural Spa Lease ("Natural Spa Disbursement Conditions").

In the event any prorations, apportionments or computation shall prove to be incorrect for any reason, then either party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same, provided that it makes written demand on the one from who it is entitled to such adjustment within three hundred sixty-five (365) days after the erroneous payment or computation was made; this provision shall survive Closing.

 

 

5.3           All accounts receivable flowing from the Property shall be treated as follows:

 

5.3.1       Buyer and Seller agree to treat all base or minimum rental payments received from a tenant as applicable to base or minimum rent which was owed by that tenant, if any, first for the month prior to the month in which Closing occurs and next for the month in which Closing occurs until the base or minimum rental amount due to Seller for such periods have been collected. In the event that there remains any unpaid base or minimum rent for a period prior to such periods, all payments of base or minimum rent received from such tenant shall be applied to sums owed Buyer before any part thereof shall be treated as belonging to Seller. In the event that there remains any unpaid tenant receivable other than base or minimum rent (including without limitation any tax, CAM, insurance or percentage rent payments) for any period prior to Closing, all payments received from any tenant in arrears (whether base or minimum rent or any other amount) shall be applied to any such sums owed Seller from such tenant before any part thereof shall be treated as belonging to Buyer.

 

5.3.2       In the event that any tenant of Seller or Buyer shall hereafter apply or shall have heretofore applied for relief under the provisions of any bankruptcy or similar laws for the protection of debtors, the provisions of Section 5.3.1 shall not apply, and the parties shall have the right to seek collection of their respective accounts, their entitlements being determined by the Closing and the other provisions of this Agreement. Neither party shall have the right to enter into any transactions that purport to compromise claims belonging to the other, without the other party's prior written consent.

 

5.3.3       If at the Closing Date any tenants owe Seller any money, Seller shall have the right, subsequent to the Closing, to collect such sums directly from the tenants including bringing lawsuits against the tenants (at Seller's sole expense) for such collection; provided, however, Seller agrees that any such legal action or collection shall not include any disturbance of the possession, use or occupancy of the tenants or any right to evict the tenants, whether pursuant to the lease provisions or otherwise. Seller shall notify Buyer in writing at least 5 days prior to Closing Date of any such amounts due from any tenant and Buyer shall have the right by giving written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent to either (a) extend such scheduled Closing Date for a period of fifteen (15) days to permit Seller the opportunity to resolve any claim of amounts due and owing by any tenant or (b) waive any objection to Seller's claim of amounts due and owing Seller by such tenant whereupon the transaction shall close on the scheduled Closing Date and Seller shall have the right to pursue such monetary claim as set forth in this paragraph.

 

5.4           The provisions of this Article 5 will survive Closing.

 

6.            TITLE AND SURVEY.

 

6.1           Seller shall convey and Buyer shall accept a title such as a reputable title insurance company licensed to do business in the State wherein the Shopping Center is located will be willing to approve and insure subject only to Permitted Exceptions as provided for in this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges that it has heretofore received copies of Seller's existing title insurance policy for the Real Estate (the "Existing Title Policy"). Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall obtain (at its expense) a survey ("Survey"), which Survey shall be certified to Seller and Buyer and such other parties as Buyer may require. Buyer shall promptly furnish Seller with a copy of such Survey upon receipt thereof. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall also obtain a title insurance commitment (the "Title Commitment") from the Title Company; and the Title Company shall promptly furnish Seller with true accurate and complete copies thereof (including true, accurate and complete copies of all underlying title exception documents referenced therein). The cost of the Title Commitment shall be shared equally between Buyer and Seller. Not later than the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall give Seller written notice ("Buyer's Title Notice") of any title exception matters which are contained in the Title Commitment or Survey to which Buyer objects. Buyer's Title Notice shall also identify REAs, if any, as to which Buyer requires as REA Estoppel. Failure by Buyer to give Buyer's Title Notice (or to object to any matter referenced in the Title Commitment or Survey) to Seller on or before said date shall constitute Buyer's final and irrevocable approval of the condition of title (and to any such unobjected to matter) in and to the Real Estate. If Buyer's Title Notice shall be timely given Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) days after receiving Buyer's Title Notice, if Seller does not intend to remove (or cause the Title Company to endorse over, to Buyer's satisfaction) or otherwise cure any matter set forth in Buyer's Title Notice. Seller's lack of a response shall be deemed as Seller's refusal to remove or otherwise cure the matter or matters set forth in Buyer's Title Notice prior to the Closing, it being nevertheless agreed that Seller shall have no obligation to undertake any action or to incur any expense in order to effectuate any such removal, correction, cure or satisfaction. In the event that Seller elects not to attempt to remove, correct, cure or satisfy the matters raised in Buyer's Title Notice (hereinafter called "Title Correction"), Buyer shall have the right at its sole option either (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall thereafter have any further liability hereunder, except as set forth in Sections 4.2 and 15.7, or (b) to accept such title as is disclosed by the Title Commitment and Survey without title correction and without any reduction to the Purchase Price, thereby waiving any rights against Seller with respect thereto. Said election shall be made by Buyer within five (5) days following Buyer's receipt of written notification by Seller that Seller has elected not to effectuate (or is deemed to have elected not to effectuate) any such Title Correction.

 

 

In the event either the Title Commitment or Survey is amended to include new exceptions or other matters that are not set forth in a prior Title Commitment or Survey (as applicable), Buyer shall have until the later of (i) the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, or (ii) the date that is five (5) days after Buyer's receipt of the amended Title Commitment or Survey (as applicable) and copies of the documents identified in the new exceptions or new requirements, within which to cancel this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit or to provisionally accept the title subject to Seller's agreement to cause the removal of or otherwise cure the Title Correction matter given to Seller in a supplemental Buyer's Title Notice with respect to any such new Title Commitment or Survey matter. If supplemental Buyer's Title Notice shall be timely given Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) days after receiving such Buyer's Title Notice, if Seller does not intend to remove (or cause the Title Company to endorse over, to Buyer's satisfaction) or otherwise cure any matter set forth in Buyer's Title Notice. Seller's lack of a response shall be deemed as Seller's refusal to effectuate any such Title Correction, it being nevertheless agreed that Seller shall have no obligation to undertake any action or to incur any expense in order to effectuate any such Title Correction. In the event that Seller elects not to attempt to effectuate the Title Correction, Buyer shall have the right at its sole option either (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall thereafter have any further liability hereunder, except as set forth in Sections 4.2 and 15.7, or (b) to accept such title as is disclosed by the Title Commitment and Survey without Title Correction and without any reduction to the Purchase Price, thereby waiving any rights against Seller with respect thereto. Said election shall be made by Buyer within five (5) days following Buyer's receipt of written notification by Seller that Seller has elected not to effectuate (or is deemed to have elected not to effectuate) any such Title Correction.

 

If Seller agrees to effectuate any such Title Correction as described in this Section 6.1 but fails or is unable to do so by the scheduled Closing Date, Buyer shall, within five (5) days after said scheduled Closing Date, notify Seller and Escrow Agent in writing of Buyer's election to either (i) declare Seller to be in breach under this Agreement under the terms and conditions set forth in 14.2, or (ii) waive such applicable Title Correction matter whereupon the transaction shall close five (5) days after Buyer notifies Seller of such election. If written notice of such election is not timely given by Buyer pursuant to the foregoing sentence, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to declare Seller to be in breach of this Agreement as set forth in such sentence.

 

 

"Permitted Exceptions" shall mean (i) all title matters and exceptions set forth in the Title Commitment and any update or revision to the Title Commitment which are not subject to any Title Correction or which are otherwise accepted or waived by Buyer or deemed accepted or waived by Buyer and (ii) all Survey matters and issues disclosed by the Survey or by any update or revision to the Survey which are not subject to any Title Correction or which are otherwise accepted or waived by Buyer or deemed accepted or waived by Buyer; and (iii) the tenant Space Leases.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinabove provided, Seller covenants and agrees that at or prior to Closing, Seller shall (i) pay in full and cause to be canceled and discharged or otherwise cause the Title Company to insure over all mechanics' and contractors' liens which encumber the Real Estate as of the date of Closing and which have been placed on the Real Estate in connection with work authorized by Seller, (ii) pay in full all past due ad valorem taxes and assessments of any kind constituting a lien against the Real Estate or the Personal Property, and (iii) cause to be released all loan security documents which encumber Seller's interest in the Property, and in no event shall any such matters be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions.

 

6.2           If at the Closing Date there may be any liens or encumbrances which render title unmarketable and are not Permitted Exceptions hereunder, and which Seller is obligated or desires to pay and discharge, Seller may use any portion of the balance of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same, provided Seller shall simultaneously either deliver to Buyer at the Closing instruments in recordable form and sufficient to satisfy such liens and encumbrances of record together with the cost of recording or filing said instruments; or provided that Seller has made arrangements with the title company in advance of Closing, Seller will deposit with said company sufficient monies, acceptable to and required by it to insure obtaining and the recording of such satisfactions and the issuance of title insurance to Buyer either free of any such liens and encumbrances, or with insurance against enforcement of same out of the insured premises. Buyer, if request is made within a reasonable time prior to the Closing, agrees to provide at the Closing separate certified checks as requested, aggregating the amount of the balance of the Purchase Price, to facilitate the satisfaction of any such liens and encumbrances. The existence of any such liens and encumbrances shall not be deemed objections to title, if Seller shall comply with the foregoing requirements. Unpaid liens for taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments which are the obligation of Seller to satisfy and discharge shall not be objections to title, but the amount thereof, plus interest and penalties thereon, shall be deducted from the Purchase Price to be paid hereunder and allowed to Buyer, subject to the provisions for apportionment of taxes, water charges and sewer rents contained herein. Unpaid franchise tax of any corporation in the chain of title, or estate, income or other taxes which may be liens against the Property as of the Closing Date shall not be an objection to title, provided the title company agrees to insure against the collection of said taxes from the Property and in such event if required by the title company, Seller agrees to deposit at Closing with the title company an amount deemed reasonable by it to secure the payment of such unpaid franchise tax, or other tax.

 

6.3           Subject to the third paragraph of Section 6.1, in the event that Seller is unable to convey title in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the sole responsibility of Seller will be to refund (or cause to be refunded by the Escrow Agent) to Buyer the Deposit; upon the making of such refund, this Agreement shall be deemed canceled, neither party shall have any further claim against the other by reason of this Agreement, except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.7.

 

 

6.4           All costs of obtaining the standard policy of title insurance (without endorsements) shall be paid by Seller. Buyer shall pay the cost of any endorsements it requires to its title policy, provided, however, Seller shall be responsible for the costs related to any endorsements required to cure one or more of the matters set forth in Buyer's Title Notice to the extent that Seller has agreed to effectuate a correction or cure to such Buyer's Title Notice matter.

 

7.            DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OR REQUIRED ALTERATION.

 

7.1           Prior to Closing, in the event of any damage to or destruction of all or part of the Real Estate (notice of which shall be given to Buyer by Seller as soon as practicable following its occurrence), then Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to adjourn the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days in order to repair or replace such damage or destruction, except that if:

 

(a)          the cost of such repair or replacement exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00);

 

(b)          as a result of the damage or destruction any tenant has a right of termination under any of the Space Leases and such tenant has not permanently waived such right of termination in writing prior to the date on which Buyer must make its election to terminate below; or

 

(c)          as a result of the damage or destruction any tenant has a right to permanently abate or offset its rent under its applicable Space Lease;

 

then in any such case (i) Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice of its intention to do so, such notice by Buyer to Seller to be given not later than three (3) days after Buyer shall have received the notice from Seller of such aforesaid occurrence, (in which event the Deposit shall forthwith be returned to Buyer, whereupon this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever, except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.7); or (ii) if Buyer elects not to (or does not have the right to) terminate this Agreement, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect except that at Closing Buyer shall receive an abatement of the Purchase Price in an amount equal to a reasonable good faith estimate of the amount required to repair and restore all unrepaired damage as agreed between Buyer and Seller including all costs, expenses, abated rents and other amounts incurred or to be incurred as a result of the damage or destruction (and Seller shall retain all rights to collect insurance proceeds for such loss(es)). If, despite good faith effort to agree, Buyer and Seller shall be unable to agree upon the amount of the abatement to the Purchase Price, then either party may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other party and Escrow Agent (in which event, the Deposit shall forthwith be returned to Buyer, whereupon this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever, except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.7).

 

7.2           (a)          In the event that any governmental authority having jurisdiction of all or part of the Real Estate has notified Seller before the Closing that some alteration of or addition to the Real Estate is required to be made by law, rule or regulation (notice of which shall be given to Buyer by Seller as soon as practicable after its receipt) or otherwise requires a cure of a violation, then (subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(b)) Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to undertake such alteration or addition or cure; provided, however, that if the cost of such alteration or addition or cure shall exceed the sum of one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price, then in such event Seller may either elect to pay the entire cost and cure the same before the scheduled Closing or may decline to undertake the same, in which event Buyer shall have the option, exercisable within three (3) days following notice from Seller of the requirement and Seller's refusal to comply therewith, (i) to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller notice thereof (in which event the Deposit shall forthwith be returned to Buyer, whereupon the Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever, except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.7); or (ii) if such notice of termination is not timely given, to proceed with the Closing, in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by a reasonable good faith estimate of the cost to cure, up to the maximum sum of one percent of the Purchase Price as agreed between Buyer and Seller. If, despite good faith effort to agree, Buyer and Seller shall be unable to agree upon the amount of the abatement to the Purchase Price, then either party may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other party and Escrow Agent (in which event, the Deposit shall forthwith be returned to Buyer, whereupon this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever, except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.7).

 

 

(b)          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 7.2(a), Seller shall have no obligation to cure or pay for, and subject to Section 10 below Buyer shall take subject to, any violation which either (i) is first placed (i.e., notice first given to Seller or first placed of record) after the Effective Date of this Agreement, provided such violation is not caused by the affirmative act or intentional omission of Seller, or (ii) is the responsibility of a Shopping Center tenant to cure or discharge pursuant to its Space Lease.

 

8.            EMINENT DOMAIN. In the event that any eminent domain proceedings shall be commenced prior to the Closing, and:

 

(a)            the cost of repair or replacement related to such proceedings exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00); or

 

(b)           as a result of the eminent domain proceedings any tenant has a right of termination under any of the Space Leases and such tenant has not permanently waived such right of termination in writing prior to the date on which Buyer must make its election to terminate below; or

 

(c)          as a result of the eminent domain proceedings any tenant has a right to permanently abate or offset its rent under its applicable Space Lease;

 

then in any such case (i) Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice of its intention to do so, such notice by Buyer to Seller to be given not later than three (3) days after Buyer shall have received the notice from Seller of such aforesaid proceedings, (in which event the Deposit shall forthwith be returned to Buyer, whereupon this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever, except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.7); or (ii) if Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8 and Buyer elects not to terminate, or in any case wherein Buyer does not have the right to terminate, Buyer and Seller shall consummate Closing on the Closing Date, without any reduction to or abatement of the Purchase Price, and all condemnation awards shall belong to Buyer; provided, however, Seller shall have the right to a portion of the condemnation award for Seller's actual, out-of-pocket expenses incurred with respect to the condemnation action but only to the extent such award is separately made and itemized by the governmental authority or subdivision under its eminent domain or condemnation powers.

 

9.            ASSIGNMENT. Buyer shall not have the right to assign this Agreement or its rights under this Agreement without obtaining in each instance Seller's prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right, without Seller's consent, to assign its entire right, title and interest in and to this Agreement, expressly including the Deposit, to any entity or entities that is or are controlled by, controlling or under common control with Buyer (an "Affiliate"); provided that, not less than two (2) business days prior to Closing, Seller receives an executed assignment and assumption agreement, in form reasonably acceptable to Seller, which expressly assigns the Deposit and in which such assignee expressly assumes performance of this Agreement for the benefit of Seller, provided that such Affiliate qualifies under Paragraph 10A, below. Further, Buyer is entering into this Agreement for and on behalf of ARC CPOKCOK001, LLC (collectively, "Approved Assignee") and intends, and shall have the right, to assign its rights under this Agreement to Approved Assignee prior to Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall also have the right to assign this Agreement and its rights hereunder to American Realty Capital – Retail Centers of America II, Inc., or one of its affiliates, without any consent of Seller being required, so long as such assignee qualifies under Paragraph 10A below. Buyer may also designate someone other than Buyer, as grantee and/or assignee, under the transfer documents by providing written notice of such designation at least two (2) days prior to Closing. No assignment shall release or otherwise relieve Buyer from any obligations hereunder; provided, however, with respect to any assignment, if Closing occurs the assigning party (but not the assignee) shall be relieved of all its obligations arising under this Agreement before, on and after Closing.

Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep Buyer timely and fully informed of any events which cause any of Seller's representations contained in this Section 10 to be no longer accurate in any material respect. All of the representations of Seller contained in this Section 10 shall be deemed remade in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date, subject to any changes which have been disclosed in writing to Buyer prior to the Closing. If prior to Closing Buyer becomes aware of a material breach of any of the foregoing representations or of any change which would have a material adverse effect on Buyer (in Buyer's reasonable determination), Buyer shall be entitled, at Buyer's option, either (i) to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller and Escrow Agent written notice of such election, in which the Deposit shall forthwith be returned to Buyer, and neither Buyer nor Seller shall thereafter have any other rights or remedies hereunder other than Buyer's obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.7, or (iii) to waive such breach or change and close without any reduction in the Purchase Price by reason thereof, in which event Seller shall have no post-Closing liability for such matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a misrepresentation or breach of any representation was intentionally or willfully made by Seller (instead of occurring as a result of a change in facts relating to the Property and not the result of an intentional or willful breach), or if any change in such representation is the result of a breach of Seller's covenants under this Agreement, and if Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement as a result thereof, Seller shall be liable and shall promptly reimburse Buyer for all reasonable out-of-pocket and third party costs incurred by Buyer, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, provided reasonable evidence establishing such costs are provided to Seller, and also provided that in no event shall Seller be liable for more than Ninety Thousand and 00/100ths Dollars ($90,000.00) pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, provided, however, Buyer shall, within one (1) business day of Seller reimbursing Buyer for its out of pocket costs and expenses not to exceed Ninety Thousand and 00/100ths Dollars ($90,000.00), Buyer shall deliver to Seller copies of all third-party reports with respect to the Property to the extent same are required to be delivered to Seller under Section 4.2 of this Agreement.

 

Subject to changes which have been disclosed in writing to Buyer prior to Closing, the representations of Seller contained in this Section 10 shall not merge into any instrument or conveyance delivered at the Closing and shall survive the Closing; provided, however, such representations shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months only, after which time Seller shall have no liability with respect thereto unless Buyer shall have asserted a specific breach thereof in a written notice delivered to Seller prior to the expiration of such twelve (12) month period, in which case such applicable representation shall survive until Buyer's claims set forth in such written notice with respect thereto have been resolved. Subject to such limitations on survival, following the Closing Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all costs, fees, expenses, damages and losses suffered or incurred by Buyer arising out of the breach or inaccuracy of any representation of Seller contained in this Section 10 (as the same may be modified by Seller at or prior to Closing). Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate liability of Seller for breaches of Seller's representations under this paragraph shall be limited to Eight Hundred Twenty-Eight Thousand and 00/100ths Dollars ($828,000.00).

 

References to "the best of Seller's knowledge," "Seller's knowledge," "to the best of Seller's actual knowledge" and such other similar phrases shall refer only to the current actual knowledge of the Designated Representatives (as hereinafter defined) of Seller, and shall not be construed, by imputation or otherwise, to refer to the knowledge of Seller or any affiliate of Seller, to any property manager, to any other partner, officer, agent, manager, representative or employee of Seller or any affiliate thereof. As used herein, the term "Designated Representatives" shall refer to Alan Ferguson - Vice President, Texas Region. Seller represents that Alan Ferguson is familiar with the Property, its operation and condition.

14.         DEFAULTS.

 

14.1         If Closing does not take place because of Buyer's default the Deposit shall be retained by Seller as agreed upon liquidated damages as Seller's sole remedy for such default, and thereupon this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever (except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.7). The parties hereto expressly agree that Seller's actual damages in the event of a default by Buyer would be extremely difficult or impractical to ascertain and that the amount of the Deposit represents the parties' reasonable estimate of such damages.

 

14.2         If Closing does not occur due to Seller's willful default or refusal to close despite Buyer's willingness to do so (such willingness includes waiver by Buyer of any uncured title objection properly made by Buyer under Section 6.1 except for those for which Seller had agreed to effectuate a Title Correction under the terms of Section 6) (such willful default or refusal being hereinafter referred to as a "Seller Default"), then Buyer, as its sole and exclusive right and remedy as a result of such Seller Default, may elect to either (i) cancel this Agreement, in which event (a) the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, (b) Seller shall be liable and shall promptly reimburse Buyer for all reasonable out-of-pocket and third-party costs incurred by Buyer, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, provided reasonable evidence establishing such costs are provided to Seller, and also provided that in no event shall Seller be liable for more than Ninety Thousand and 00/100ths Dollars ($90,000.00) pursuant to this Section 14.2, and (c) no party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder (except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.7), or (ii) Buyer may enforce specific performance of this Agreement without any reduction or abatement of the Purchase Price.

 

14.3         If Closing should not occur for any reason whatsoever other than by reason of a default by Buyer or a Seller Default (including without limitation by reason of a material change in any representation or warranty of Seller or an uncured title objection properly made by Buyer under Section 6.1) which Buyer is not willing to waive, then in such event this Agreement shall be and be deemed cancelled, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and thereupon Buyer shall have no other right, by way of damages or otherwise, against Seller notwithstanding the existence of any failure of representation, warranty, covenant, title or other Closing condition which is not the result of a Seller Default (provided that Buyer will remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.7).

 

14.4         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event of any litigation between Buyer and Seller arising from or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party, in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies, shall be entitled to receive immediate payment of its reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and court costs from the other party.

 

15.         MISCELLANEOUS.

 

15.1         No provision of this Agreement shall survive Closing and delivery of the deed except as herein expressly provided. The acceptance of the deed by Buyer shall be conclusive evidence of the performance by Seller of all of the provisions of this Agreement to be performed by Seller on or prior to the date of Closing.

 

 

15.2         This Agreement (including the Exhibits attached hereto) contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, if any, with respect thereto.

 

15.3         This Agreement may not be canceled, modified, changed or supplemented, nor may any obligation hereunder be waived, except by written instrument signed by the party to be charged or by its agent duly authorized in writing.

 

15.4         The parties do not intend to confer any benefit hereunder on any person, firm or corporation other than the parties hereto and their respective successors or assigns.

 

15.5         "TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE" with respect to all provisions of this Agreement, with the sole exception that each of Buyer and Seller shall be entitled to a single adjournment (not to exceed two (2) business days in any event) of the Closing Date.

 

15.6         This Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon the legal representatives, heirs, executors, administrators and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the permitted assigns of the parties hereto.

 

15.7         Buyer represents and warrants that it will keep all information and/or reports and/or documents obtained from Seller or its agents (including without limitation the rent and other economic terms of the Space Leases), or related to or connected with the Property (including without limitation the existence of this Agreement and the Purchase Price) strictly confidential and will not disclose any such information to any person or entity (except for Buyer's attorneys, consultants, advisors, potential lenders, and permitted assignees under this Agreement; provided that any such parties similarly agree to treat such material confidentially), without the prior written consent of Seller. In amplification and not in limitation of the foregoing, except as provided below, Buyer may not make any public disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement prior to Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Buyer shall be entitled to disclose information with respect to the Property and the transaction contemplated under this Agreement (i) to the extent Buyer is required to disclose the same pursuant to a court order, applicable laws (including making such public statements or filings as may be required under any regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to Buyer or its affiliates or as may be otherwise advised by counsel to Buyer), and (ii) to the extent necessary to disclose in the context of a legal dispute between Buyer and Seller.

 

15.8         This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State wherein the Property is located. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with its plain meaning and without reference to any maxim or rule of interpretation providing that a writing should be construed against the party responsible for the drafting thereof.

 

15.9         This Agreement shall not be recorded or filed in the public records of any jurisdiction by either party and any attempt to do so may be treated by the other party as a breach of this Agreement.

 

15.10         This Agreement may be executed by facsimile, by email (in ".pdf" format) and/or in one or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

 

15.11         Buyer and Seller each agree that, prior to Closing, it will not make or issue, and further agrees that it will cause any broker or other party it or any affiliate has retained in connection with this transaction not to make or issue, any press release or other public statement (such as interviews or responses to journalistic inquiries) concerning this Agreement and/or the transactions herein set forth, without the prior written consent of the other party. If Buyer acquires the Property from Seller, both Seller and Buyer shall have the right, subsequent to the Closing of such acquisition, to publicize the transaction (other than the parties to or any of the economics of the transaction) in whatever manner it deems appropriate; provided only that any press release or other public disclosure regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, and the wording of same, must be approved in advance by both parties. The provisions of this Section 15.11 shall survive Closing.

 

15.12         In the event any Space Lease contains a tenant right of first refusal or right of first offer (either such right being referred to as the "ROFR"), Seller agrees to submit a right of first refusal or right of first offer notice to the applicable tenant in accordance with the requirements of the applicable ROFR prior to or promptly after the Effective Date hereof, If any such tenant gives notice of its intent to exercise a right of first refusal or right of first offer, or in the event any tenant actually exercises such right, this Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated, Buyer shall receive a full return of the Deposit and Seller shall promptly reimburse Buyer all reasonable out-of-pocket and third-party costs incurred by Buyer during the Due Diligence Period, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, provided (i) reasonable evidence establishing such costs are provided to Seller, and (ii) in no event shall Seller be liable for more than Ninety Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($90,000.00), pursuant to this Section 15.12.

 

15.13         Seller understands that Buyer is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X. In order to enable Buyer to comply with such reporting requirements, Seller agrees to provide Buyer and its representatives all information required for Buyer to comply with Rule 3-14 (as reasonably determined by Buyer's counsel) including, but not limited to, if applicable, Seller's most current financial statements (including income statements) relating to the financial operation of the Property for the current fiscal year and the most recent pre-acquisition fiscal year, and upon request and, to the extent required under such Rule 3-14, support for certain operating revenues and expenses specific to the Property, including general ledger detail, accounts receivable analysis, budget for year of disposition and copies of bills and invoices. Within five (5) days following a written request from Buyer, Seller shall provide a letter to Buyer's auditors in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10. Seller understands that certain of such financial information may be included in filings required to be made by Buyer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This Section 15.13 shall survive Closing.
