New England Realty Associates is a publically traded company controlled by Harold Brown.  We need to provide audited financials for an 8 k filing after our acquisition. As such, we will need access to the actual financial statements on/or after the closing for our own auditors to be able to provide adequate disclosure.  Our closing on this transaction is not dependent upon their findings, however, we will need cooperation during that period.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Carl A. Valeri

President & COO

 

Upon acceptance of the offer, Seller and Purchaser agree as follows:

 

1)            The Property shall be in substantially the same condition on the Closing Date as it is on the date of this Offer but otherwise the Property is being sold in its “as-is” condition.

 

2)           The parties agree to execute and deliver commercially reasonable conveyance and authority documents at Closing which shall include a deed signed by seller, an assignment of leases and rents signed by both parties, a bill of sale signed by seller, and a trustee’s certificate signed by the Seller.  Purchaser hereby agrees that as of the date hereof, Purchaser has reviewed the title to the Property and  agrees that the current title is good, clear and marketable, except for the pending Injunction (as defined below).

 

The Closing shall occur upon the earlier of: (1) July 6, 2017, so long as no interlocutory appeal is filed on or before June 30, 2017, which is the expiration of the appeal period regarding the denial of the application for preliminary injunction (the “Injunction”) in Jeanne Maurer, Plaintiff v. Michael F. Iodice, Trustee of M.J. Realty Trust II, Chatham Investment Trust of Newton, and Chatham Investment Trust of Newton II, Defendant, Superior Court Department of the Trial Court, Civil Action Number 1781CV00991; or (2) in the event of an interlocutory appeal of the denial of the Injunction is filed, then the closing would occur on the first business day after the final order of the appellate court dismissing the interlocutory appeal, or affirming the denial of that application.

 

The above shall not modify nor alter the extension periods as provided in the Termination Section on page 1 of this Agreement, which Section remains in full force and effect.

 

In any event, regardless of any interlocutory appeal of the denial of the Injunction, the issuance of a commitment for an Owner’s title insurance policy by a national title insurance company, with no exception for the appeal, or with an exception for the appeal and affirmative coverage over the appeal, including defense costs, shall be deemed to satisfy the title requirements of this agreement, and the Closing would occur on the first business day after issuance of such commitment.

 



 

3)            The parties agree to adjust costs and prorations at Closing as follows:

 

A.  Purchaser Costs.  Purchaser shall pay the following: (i) the fees and disbursements of its counsel, inspecting architect and engineer, if any; (ii) any escrow fees; (iii) any sales or use taxes relating to the transfer of any personal property to Purchaser; (iv) the cost of the issuance of any policy of title insurance issued in connection with this transaction; (v) the cost of any update to the copy of the survey provided by Seller to Purchaser; (vi) any recording fees relating to the deed to be delivered by Seller hereunder and Purchaser’s other closing documents and Purchaser’s lender’s documents; and (vii) any other expense(s) incurred by Purchaser or its representative(s) in closing this transaction.

 

B.  Seller Costs.  Seller shall pay the following costs of closing this transaction: (i) the fees and disbursements of its counsel; (ii) the cost of any deed excise stamp taxes; (iii) any recording fees relating to the documents to be recorded by Seller in order to clear title in the manner described by this Offer; and (iv) the broker’s fee to the extent any such fee is payable pursuant to the separate agreement.

 

C.  Adjustments.

 

(i)  Collected rents and any other amounts paid by tenants applicable to the month in which the Closing occurs, or which have been prepaid by tenants at the Property.

 

(ii)  Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for any cash security and other deposits paid by tenants.

 

(iii)  Operating expenses (excluding management fees and insurance) shall be adjusted as of the Closing Date.  There will be no prorations for payroll or debt service.

 

(iv)  Real estate taxes, personal property taxes, special assessments (and installments thereof) and other governmental taxes and charges relating to the Property shall be adjusted as of the Closing Date.

 

(v)  Utilities paid by Seller, including electricity, water and gas, shall be read on or as close as possible before the Closing Date and paid by Seller at or prior to Closing.

 

(vi)  If any of the aforesaid prorations cannot be calculated accurately as of the Closing Date, then they shall be adjusted/estimated in accordance with standard conveyancing practice and accurately calculated as soon after the Closing Date as feasible.  All prorations shall be made on a 365-day calendar year basis, using actual number of days in the month.

 

4)            In the event that Seller fails to perform its obligations at Closing, Buyer has the right to terminate this offer and the Deposit shall be returned to the Buyer, or Buyer may seek specific performance of the transactions contemplated by this Offer.

 

5)            Seller and Buyer warrant that they have not worked with any brokers on this transaction other than Boston Realty Advisors (the “Broker”).  Upon the closing of this transaction, the recording of the deed and the payment of the full purchase price, the Seller will be responsible for paying a brokerage fee to the Broker pursuant to a separate agreement.

 



 

6)            From the date of the execution of this Offer through the Closing Date the Seller will remove the Property from the market and will not have, or enter into, any discussions or negotiations with any party other than the Buyer in connection with the sale of the Property, and will not enter into, or entertain, any backup offers for the sale of the Property.

 

7)            This offer will be held in strict confidence and not shared with any third parties including other buyers, developers, investors or brokers.
