ARTICLE 2
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

2.1                               iStar’s Representations and Warranties.  iStar
represents and warrants to Safety and the Operating Partnership that:

 

2.1.1                     Organization and Authority.  iStar and each of the
Contributed Entities is validly existing, and in good standing in the state in
which it was formed.  At the time of the Contribution, iStar had the full right
and authority, and had obtained any and all material consents required, to
contribute the Contributed Interests to the Operating Partnership.  iStar has
the full right and authority to enter into this Agreement.  This Agreement has
been authorized and executed by iStar, and constitutes the valid and binding
obligation of iStar, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

 

2.1.2                     Pending Actions.  To iStar’s Knowledge, there is and
has been no action or proceeding pending or threatened against iStar or relating
to the Contributed Entities, the Contributed Interests or the Properties, which
challenges or impairs iStar’s ability to effect to Contribution or to execute
and deliver this Agreement or to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

 

2.1.3                     Notices from Governmental Authorities.  To iStar’s
Knowledge, iStar has not received from any Governmental Authority written notice
of any material violation of any Laws applicable (or alleged to be applicable)
to the Contributed Entities, the Contributed Interests or, to the extent
compliance is not the responsibility of the tenant under a Lease, the
Properties, or any part thereof, that has not been corrected.

 

2.1.4                     Ownership of Contributed Interests.  iStar was the
owner of the Contributed Interests at the time of Contribution and the transfer
of the Contributed Interests to the Operating Partnership was made free and
clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens). Except as provided for or
contemplated by this Agreement or any other agreements referenced herein, there
are no, and, as of the Closing, there will not be any, rights, subscriptions,
warrants, options, conversion rights, preemptive rights, agreements, instruments
or understandings of any kind outstanding entitling any person to acquire any
equity interests in the Contributed Entities, except pursuant to Permitted
Liens.

 

2.1.5                     Taxes.

 

(a)                                 Each Contributed Entity has timely filed all
Tax Returns required to be filed by it (after giving effect to any filing
extension properly granted by a Governmental Authority having authority to do
so) in accordance with all applicable Laws. All such Tax Returns are correct and
complete in all material respects, and each Contributed Entity has paid (or had
paid on its behalf) all Taxes required to be paid by it (whether or not shown on
such Tax Returns), and no deficiencies for any Taxes have been proposed,
asserted or assessed in writing against any Contributed Entity, and no requests
for waivers of the time to assess any such Taxes are pending and no such waivers
have been granted.

 

(b)                                 There are no Liens as a result of any
delinquent Taxes (that are not the responsibility of tenants under the Leases)
upon any of the assets of the Contributed Entities.

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(c)                                  Except as would not reasonably be expected
to have an iStar Material Adverse Effect, there are no pending or, to iStar’s
Knowledge, threatened audits, assessments or other actions for or relating to a
liability in respect of income or non-income Taxes of any Contributed Entity.

 

(d)                                 Each Contributed Entity is classified as a
partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

2.1.6                     No Violation.  None of the Contribution, or the
execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, any agreement contemplated
hereby between the parties to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby between the parties to this Agreement does or will, with or without the
giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, violate, conflict with, result in a
breach of, or constitute a default under or give to others any right of
termination, acceleration, cancellation or other right under, (a) the
organizational documents of iStar or any Contributed Entity, (b) any agreement,
document or instrument to which iStar or any Contributed Entity is a party or by
which iStar or any Contributed Entity are bound or (c) any term or provision of
any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree binding on iStar or any
Contributed Entity (or its Properties), except, in the case of clause (b) and
(c), any such breaches or defaults that would not reasonably be expected to have
an iStar Material Adverse Effect.

 

2.1.7                     Solvency.  iStar has been solvent at all times prior
to the Contribution. No bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding has been
filed or is currently contemplated by any Contributed Entity.

 

2.1.8                     Properties.

 

(a)                                 The real Properties listed on Exhibit C are
owned directly, in fee simple, by the Contributed Entities shown on such
Exhibit or their direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, except that a
portion of the Doubletree Seattle Airport Property is leased to the Contributed
Entity that owns such Property as described in the Registration Statement.  Each
Contributed Entity is insured under a policy of title insurance as the owner of
the fee simple or leasehold estate of such real Property, in each case free and
clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens. Prior to the Closing Date, iStar
shall not take or omit to take any action to cause any Lien to attach to any
Contributed Interests or any Property, except for Permitted Liens.

 

(b)                                 Except for matters that would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have an iStar Material Adverse Effect, (i) no
Contributed Entity and no other party to a Lease has given or received any
notice of default with respect to any term or condition of any such Lease that
remains uncured, which default, if not timely cured, would permit, subject to
expiration of applicable cure periods, application of leasehold mortgagee cure
rights and giving of required notices, termination of the related Lease, set off
of material amounts under the related Lease or, in the case of a default by the
tenant, termination of the tenant’s right to possession of the related leased
premises, (ii) no event has occurred or has been threatened in writing, which
with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would,
individually or together with all such other events, constitute a default under
any Lease that, if not timely cured would permit, subject to expiration of
applicable cure periods, application of leasehold mortgagee cure rights and
giving of required notices, termination of the related Lease, set off of
material amounts under the related Lease or, in the case of a default by the
tenant, termination of the tenant’s right to possession of the related leased
premises, or would, individually or together with all such

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

other events, reasonably be expected to cause the acceleration of any material
obligation of any party thereto or the creation of a Lien upon any asset of any
Contributed Entity, except for Permitted Liens, and (iii) each of the Leases is
in full force and effect, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the applicable Contributed Entity, and to iStar’s Knowledge, each
other party thereto, enforceable against each Contributed Entity, and to iStar’s
Knowledge, each other party thereto, in accordance with its terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to
general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding at law or in equity).  Except as set forth in the Leases, no
Contributed Entity has granted an option or right of first refusal or offer
pursuant to the Leases with respect to the sale of any Property.

 

(c)                                  To iStar’s Knowledge, except as previously
disclosed to Safety or the Operating Partnership, no tenant under a Lease is
presently the subject of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings, except for matters that would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have an iStar Material Adverse Effect.

 

2.1.9                     Environmental Matters.  Except for matters that would
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have an iStar
Material Adverse Effect (a) each Contributed Entity is in compliance with all
applicable Environmental Laws, (b) neither iStar nor any Contributed Entity has
received within the past three years any written notice from any Governmental
Authority or third party alleging that any Contributed Entity or Property is not
in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, and (c) there has not been a
release of Hazardous Materials on any Property that would require investigation
or remediation under applicable Environmental Laws. The representations and
warranties contained in this Section 2.1.9 constitute the sole and exclusive
representations and warranties made by iStar concerning environmental matters.

 

2.1.10              Broker.  None of iStar or any Contributed Entity, or any of
their managing members, members, partners, general partners, officers directors
or employees, to the extent applicable, has entered into any agreement with any
broker, finder, or similar agent of any person or firm that will result in the
obligation of Safety, the Operating Partnership or any of their affiliates to
pay any finder’s fees, brokerage fees or commissions or similar payment in
connection with the Contribution or the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

 

IN NO EVENT SHALL iSTAR’S DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS,
MANAGERS, OWNERS OR AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICER, MANAGER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR
AGENT OF THE FOREGOING, OR ANY AFFILIATE OR CONTROLLING PERSON THEREOF HAVE ANY
LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTIES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, COMMON
LAW, STATUTE, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, OTHER THAN SAFETY’S AND THE OPERATING
PARTNERSHIP’S LIABILITIES FOR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

2.1.11              No Other Representations or Warranties.  Other than the
representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Article 2, iStar
shall not be deemed to

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

have made any other representation or warranty to Safety or the Operating
Partnership in connection with the Contribution, this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby.

 

2.2                               Safety and Operating Partnership’s
Representations and Warranties.  Safety and the Operating Partnership, jointly
and severally, represent and warrant to iStar that:

 

2.2.1                     Organization and Authority.  The Operating Partnership
is validly existing as a limited liability in good standing in the State of
Delaware.  Safety is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under
the laws of Maryland.  The Operating Partnership has the full right and
authority and has obtained any and all consents required to enter into this
Agreement.  This Agreement has been authorized and properly executed by the
Operating Partnership, and constitutes, as appropriate, the valid and binding
obligation of the Operating Partnership, enforceable in accordance with their
terms.

 

2.2.2                     Pending Actions.  To Safety’s and the Operating
Partnership’s Knowledge, there is no action or proceeding pending or threatened
against Safety or the Operating Partnership which challenges or impairs Safety’s
or the Operating Partnership’s ability to execute or perform its obligations
under this Agreement.

 

IN NO EVENT SHALL SAFETY’S OR THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP’S DIRECT OR INDIRECT
PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OWNERS OR AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICER,
MANAGER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF THE FOREGOING, OR ANY AFFILIATE OR
CONTROLLING PERSON THEREOF HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR
OTHER LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONTRIBUTED
ENTITY INTERESTS OR THE PROPERTIES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, COMMON LAW,
STATUTE, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, OTHER THAN ISTAR’S LIABILITIES FOR ITS BREACH OF
THIS AGREEMENT.

 

ARTICLE 3
SURVIVAL; INDEMNITY

 

3.1                               Survival of Representations, Warranties and
Covenants.  The representations and warranties set forth in Article 2 are made
as of the Effective Date and the Closing Date, and shall not be deemed to be
merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing, but shall survive the
Closing for a period of 12 months (the “Survival Period”).  All covenants set
forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing indefinitely and shall not be
deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing.  Terms such as
“to iStar’s Knowledge,” “to the best of iStar’s Knowledge” or like phrases mean
the actual knowledge of Jay Sugarman, Nina Matis and Geoffrey Jervis (“iStar’s
Representatives”), without any duty of inquiry or investigation; provided that
so qualifying iStar’s knowledge shall in no event give rise to any personal
liability on the part of iStar’s Representatives, or any of them, or any other
officer or employee of iStar, on account of any breach of any representation or
warranty made by iStar herein.  Said terms do not include constructive
knowledge, imputed knowledge, or knowledge iStar or such persons do not have but
could have obtained through further investigation or inquiry.  No broker, agent,
or party other than iStar is authorized to make any representation or warranty
for or on behalf of iStar.  Each party shall have the right to bring an action
against the other on the breach of a

 

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

representation or warranty or covenant hereunder or in the documents delivered
by iStar at the Closing, but only on the following conditions:  (1) the party
bringing the action for breach first learns of the breach after Closing and, in
the case of a claim for breach of representatives or warranties, files such
action within the Survival Period and (2) neither party shall have the right to
bring a cause of action for a breach of a representation or warranty or covenant
unless the damage to such party on account of such breach (individually or when
combined with damages from other breaches) equals or exceeds the greater of
(a) 4.5% of the indemnity cap or (b) $250,000, and then only to the extent of
such excess.  Neither party shall have any liability after Closing for the
breach of a representation or warranty or covenant hereunder of which the other
party hereto had knowledge as of Closing.  Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, any agreement contemplated by this Agreement, or any rights
which Safety, the Operating Partnership might otherwise have at law, equity, or
by statute, whether based on contract or some other claim, Safety, the Operating
Partnership agree that:  (i) any liability of iStar to Safety, the Operating
Partnership and their affiliates will be limited to $5,100,000; and (ii) iStar
may satisfy any liability to Safety, the Operating Partnership and their
affiliates in full by delivering (a) a number of shares of Safety Common Stock
equal to the total liability of iStar divided by the Value of the Safety Common
Stock on the date that is three Trading Days prior to, but excluding, the date
on which Safety and the Operating Partnership notified iStar in writing of the
claims that resulted in the liability; (b) a cash lump sum; or (c) a combination
of cash and Safety Common Stock valued in accordance with subclause (a).  In no
event shall either party be liable to the other party for incidental,
consequential, or punitive damages as a result of the breach of any or all
representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement.  The provisions of
this Section 3.1 shall survive the Closing.

 

3.2                               Survival.  The terms and conditions of this
Article 3 shall expressly survive the Closing, and shall not merge with the
provisions of any closing documents.

 

Safety and the Operating Partnership acknowledge and agree that the disclaimers
and other agreements set forth herein are an integral part of this Agreement and
that iStar would not have agreed to the Contribution and the other transactions
contemplated hereby without the disclaimers and other agreements set forth
herein.

and, to the greatest extent legally possible, effect shall be given to the
intent manifested by the portion held invalid or inoperative.  The failure by

respects, be governed, construed, applied, and enforced in accordance with the

that contemplate performance after the Closing and the obligations of the

survive the Closing and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the
instruments of Closing.

 

4.6                               Entirety and Amendments.  This Agreement
embodies the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings relating to the Property.  This Agreement may be
amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing executed by the party
