ARTICLE VI
 TITLE AND SURVEY MATTERS

 

Section 6.1                                    Survey. Purchaser acknowledges receipt of the Existing Survey. Any modification, update or recertification of the Existing Survey shall be at Purchaser’s election and sole cost and expense. Any updated survey that Purchaser has elected to obtain, if any, is herein referred to as the “Updated Survey.” Purchaser shall have until March 24, 2014 to obtain an Updated Survey and to deliver a copy of same to Seller. Any gores, strips, overlaps or potential boundary line disputes and other survey defects, including but not limited to encroachments, legal description issues, easement locations that impede or interfere with use or occupancy and similar defects shall constitute a “Survey Objection” under this Agreement.

 

Section 6.2                                    Title Commitment.

 

(a)                                 Purchaser has ordered a title insurance commitment with respect to the Real Property issued, by the Title Company (the “Title Commitment”).  On or before March 12, 2014, Purchaser shall provide to Seller the Title Commitment, together with legible copies of the

 

14











 

title exceptions listed thereon. On or before March 28, 2014 (the “Title Objection Date”), Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing, if there are (i) any monetary liens or other title exceptions that Purchaser objects to (“Title Objections”) or (ii) any Survey Objection. In the event Seller does not receive written notice of any Title Objections or Survey Objection by the Title Objection Date, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, then Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted or waived such exceptions to title set forth on the Title Commitment as permitted exceptions (as accepted or waived by Purchaser, the “Permitted Exceptions”) and shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to any Survey Objection.

 

(b)                                 After the Title Objection Date, if the Title Company raises any new exception to title to the Real Property, Purchaser’s counsel shall have five (5) Business Days after he or she receives notice of such exception (the “New Objection Date”) (or as promptly as possible prior to the Closing if such notice is received with less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing), to provide Seller with written notice if such exception constitutes a Title Objection. In the event Seller does not receive notice of such Title Objection by the New Objection Date, Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted the exceptions to title set forth on any updates to the Title Commitment as Permitted Exceptions.

 

(c)                                  All taxes, water rates or charges, sewer rents and assessments, plus interest and penalties thereon, which on the Closing Date are liens against the Real Property and which Seller is obligated to pay and discharge will be credited against the Purchase Price (subject to the provision for apportionment of taxes, water rates and sewer rents herein contained) and shall not be deemed a Title Objection. If on the Closing Date there shall be security interests filed against the Real Property, such items shall not be Title Objections if (i) the personal property covered by such security interests are no longer in or on the Real Property, or (ii) such personal property is the property of a Tenant, and Seller executes and delivers an affidavit to such effect, or the security interest was filed more than five (5) year prior to the Closing Date and was not renewed.

 

(d)                                 If on the Closing Date the Real Property shall be affected by any lien  which, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, is required to be discharged or satisfied by Seller, Seller shall not be required to discharge or satisfy the same of record provided the money necessary to satisfy the lien is retained by the Title Company at Closing, and the Title Company either omits the lien as an exception from the title insurance commitment or insures against collection thereof from out of the Real Property, and a credit is given to Purchaser for the recording charges for a satisfaction or discharge of such lien.

 

(e)                                  No franchise, transfer, inheritance, income, corporate or other tax open, levied or imposed against Seller or any former owner of the Property, that may be a lien against the Property on the Closing Date, shall be an objection to title if the Title Company insures against collection thereof from or out of the Real Property and/or the Improvements, and provided further that Seller deposits with the Title Company a sum of money or a parental guaranty reasonably acceptable to the Title Company and sufficient to secure a release of the Property from the lien thereof. If a search of title discloses judgments, bankruptcies, or other returns against other persons having names the same as or similar to that of Seller, Seller will deliver to Purchaser an affidavit stating that such judgments, bankruptcies or other returns do not apply to Seller, and such search results shall not be deemed Title Objections.

 

15











 

Section 6.3                                    Title Defect.

 

(a)                                 In the event Seller receives notice of any Survey Objection or Title Objection (collectively and individually a “Title Defect”) within the time periods required under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 above, Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to attempt to remove, or cause to be removed at its expense, any such Title Defect, and shall provide Purchaser with notice within five (5) days of its receipt of any such objection, of its intention to attempt to cure such any such Title Defect. If Seller elects to attempt to cure any Title Defect, the Scheduled Closing Date shall be extended for a period of twenty (20) days for the purpose of such removal.  In the event that (i) Seller elects not to attempt to cure any such Title Defect, or (ii) Seller is unable to cure any such Title Defect within such twenty (20) days from the Scheduled Closing Date, Seller shall so notify Purchaser and Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.3(a) and receive a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit, together with all interest which has accrued thereon, or to waive such Title Defect and proceed to the Closing. Purchaser shall make such election by written notice to Seller within three (3) days after receipt of Seller’s notice. If Seller has elected to cure a Title Defect and thereafter fails to timely cure such Title Defect, and Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, then (i) Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses payable to third parties in connection with this transaction incurred after the date on which Seller informed Purchaser of its election to cure the Title Defect, not to exceed the Reimbursement Cap, and (ii) Purchaser shall promptly return Purchaser’s Information to Seller, after which neither party shall have any further obligation to the other under this Agreement except for the Termination Surviving Obligations. If Purchaser elects to proceed to the Closing, any Title Defects waived by Purchaser shall be deemed to constitute Permitted Exceptions, and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price. If, within the three-day period, Purchaser fails to notify Seller of Purchaser’s election to terminate, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived the Title Defect and to have elected to proceed to the Closing.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding any provision of this Article VI to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated to cure exceptions to title to the Property, in the manner described above, relating to liens and security interests securing any financings to Seller, any judgment liens, which are in existence on the Effective Date, or which come into existence after the Effective Date, and any mechanic’s liens resulting from work at the Property commissioned by Seller; provided, however, that any such mechanic’s lien may be cured by bonding in accordance with New Jersey law. In addition, Seller shall be obligated to pay off any outstanding real estate taxes that were due and payable prior to the Closing (but subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 10.4 below).

 

ARTICLE VII
 INTERIM OPERATING COVENANTS AND ESTOPPELS

 

Section 7.1                                    Interim Operating Covenants. Seller covenants to Purchaser that Seller will:

 

(a)                                 Operations and Leasing. From the Effective Date until Closing, continue to operate, manage and maintain the Property in the ordinary course of Seller’s business and substantially in accordance with Seller’s present practice, subject to ordinary wear and tear, and

 

16











 

further subject to Article XI of this Agreement. From the Effective Date through the expiration of the Evaluation Period, Seller will notify Purchaser of any new Leases or amendments to existing Leases and provide copies thereof to Purchaser, along with notice of the anticipated expenditures in connection therewith to the extent known to Seller at such time, if such expenditures are not set forth in the amendment or new Lease, and will notify Purchaser of  any real estate tax appeals initiated or settled during such period, but Purchaser shall have no right to approve any new Leases or Lease amendments or the initiation or settlement of any real estate tax appeals during such period (for the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall not be obligated to provide notice of tenant inducements that are set forth in a Lease amendment or new Lease, such as notice of the landlord’s tenant improvement or moving expense, obligations, even if the amendment or Lease does not set forth a specific dollar amount or maximum expenditure in connection with such inducement, unless Seller has already obtained a cost estimate for such item). Nothing herein shall require Seller to obtain written cost estimates for tenant improvements, but if Seller has them, it will deliver them to Purchaser along with the other new lease or lease amendment documents. After the expiration of the Evaluation Period and Purchaser’s posting of the Additional Deposit with the Escrow Agent, Seller shall not amend any existing Lease or enter into any new Lease, or initiate or settle any tax appeal, without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  It shall be reasonable for Purchaser to reject a proposed lease due to (i) rent amounts or free rent, (ii) tenant improvement allowances, (iii) term, (iv) creditworthiness of tenant, (v) landlord obligations such as requiring Purchaser to construct additional parking spaces at the Property and (vi) other reasonable underwriting criteria. From the expiration of the Evaluation Period and continuing through and after the Closing, Seller expressly reserves the right to prosecute and settle, subject to Purchaser’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, any tax appeals that pertain to tax years prior to the tax year in which the Closing occurs.

 

(b)                                 Compliance with Governmental Regulations. From the Effective Date until Closing, not knowingly take any action that Seller knows would result in a failure to comply in any material respects with any Governmental Regulations applicable to the Property, it being understood and agreed that prior to Closing, Seller will have the right to contest any such Governmental Regulations so long as there is no penalty or fine as a result thereof.

 

(c)                                  Service Contracts. From the expiration of the Evaluation Period until Closing, not enter into any service contract other than in the ordinary course of business, unless such service contract is terminable on thirty (30) days notice without penalty or unless Purchaser consents thereto in writing, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

(d)                                 Notices. To the extent received by Seller, from the Effective Date until Closing, promptly deliver to Purchaser copies of written default notices, notices of lawsuits and notices of violations affecting the Property.

 

(e)                                  Representations and Warranties. Three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of any changes in the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 8.1 below.

 

17











 

(f)                                   No New Liens and Encumbrances. After the Evaluation. Period, Seller shall not encumber the Property with any new lien or encumbrance.

 

Section 7.2                                    Estoppels. It will be a condition to Closing that Seller obtain from each Major Tenant an executed estoppel certificate in the form, or limited to the substance, prescribed by each Major Tenant’s Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller agrees to request that each Major Tenant and other Tenants in the buildings and any REA Party execute an estoppel certificate in the form reasonably requested by Purchaser and annexed hereto as Exhibit G or such form as reasonably required by Purchaser’s lenders if such form is provided to Seller at least five (5) days prior to the end of the Evaluation Period. No later than five (5) Business Days after the end of the Evaluation Period, Seller will request each Major Tenant and other Tenants in the buildings and any REA Party to execute an estoppel certificate in the form of Exhibit G or such form as reasonably required by Purchaser’s lenders if such form is provided to Seller at least five (5) days prior to the end of the Evaluation Period and use good faith efforts to obtain same. Seller shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder if any Major Tenant or other Tenant or REA Party fails to deliver an estoppel certificate, or delivers an estoppel certificate which is not in accordance with this Agreement.

 

Section 7.3                                    SNDAs.  Upon Purchaser’s request, Seller shall deliver to each Major Tenant a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (“SNDA”) in the form, or limited to the substance, prescribed by each Major Tenant’s Lease, or if no form is required or substance prescribed, then in a commercially reasonable form required by Purchaser’s lender, provided such form is provided to Seller at least five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period.  Seller shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder if any Major Tenant fails to deliver an SNDA, or delivers a SNDA which is not in accordance with this Agreement and the delivery of any SNDA shall not be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations to complete Closing.

 

Section 7.4                                    Rights of First Offer.  Seller has informed Purchaser that the third parties listed on Schedule 7.4 (each a “ROFO Party” and collectively, the “ROFO Parties”) possess rights of first offer to purchase the Property (collectively, the “ROFO Rights”).  Seller has further informed Purchaser that notice of the transaction contemplated hereunder has been given to each of the ROFO Parties in accordance with the ROFO Rights (the “ROFO Notice”).  Seller shall promptly provide notice to Purchaser of its receipt of any notice or other communication, written or oral, from any ROFO Party to exercise, or to decline to exercise, such ROFO Right, and, in the case of a written communication, copies thereof.  If any ROFO Party exercises its ROFO Rights (each, a “ROFO Election”), this Agreement shall automatically terminate.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.4, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, together with all interest which has accrued thereon and Purchaser shall be entitled to a reimbursement of its reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses payable to third parties in connection with this transaction, provided that the reimbursement by Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement shall not exceed the Reimbursement Cap (as hereinafter defined) and except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations, this Agreement shall be null and void and the parties shall have no further obligation to each other hereunder.

(b)           Authority. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Purchaser, and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser.

 

(c)           Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby will not violate any judgment, order, injunction, decree, regulation or ruling of any court or Authority or conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the organizational documents of Purchaser, any note or other evidence of indebtedness, any mortgage, deed of trust or indenture, or any lease or other material agreement or instrument to which Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound.

 

(d)           Consents. No consent, waiver, approval or authorization is required from any person or entity (that has not already been obtained) in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser or the performance by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 8.3            Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Subsections 8.1(a) through (g), (i), (j), and (k) will survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months, after which time they will merge into the Deed. The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Subsection 8.1 (h), (l), (m), and (n) will survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year, after which time they will merge into the Deed. Purchaser will not have any right to bring any action against Seller as a result of any untruth or inaccuracy of such representations, warranties or certifications, unless and until the aggregate amount of all liability and losses arising out of any such untruth or inaccuracy when combined with the aggregate amount of all liability and losses  with respect to the representations and warranties made by the M-C Sellers pursuant to the Other P&S Agreements, exceeds Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00); and then only to the extent of such excess.  In addition, in no event will the Seller’s and the M-C Sellers’ collective liability for all such breaches exceed, in the aggregate, the sum of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00).  Seller shall have no liability with respect to any of Seller’s representations, warranties or certifications herein if, prior to the Closing, Purchaser obtains knowledge (from whatever source, including, without limitation, any tenant estoppel certificates, as a result of Purchaser’s due diligence tests, investigations and inspections of the Property, or written disclosure by Seller or Seller’s agents and employees) that contradicts any of Seller’s representations, warranties or certifications, and Purchaser nevertheless consummates the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, with respect to any claim asserted or damage suffered by it with respect to any ROFO Rights, Purchaser shall first look to the issuer of its title insurance policy.  To that end, Purchaser will not have any right to pursue any action against Seller (other than the filing of notice required to preserve its claim) as a result of any untruth or inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties made by Seller in Subsections 8.1(l), (m) or (n) until Purchaser has pursued and

 

21











 

exhausted all actions and claims for coverage available to it under the title insurance policy issued to Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property with respect to any claims or damages resulting or arising from any ROFO Rights.  The Closing Surviving Obligations and the Termination Surviving Obligations will survive Closing without limitation unless a specified period is otherwise provided in this Agreement.  All other representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made or undertaken by Seller under this Agreement, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, will not survive the Closing but will be merged into the Deed and other Closing documents delivered at the Closing.  Purchaser’s knowledge shall mean the present actual knowledge of William Glazer and Thomas Hartley.

(i)            Rents, in accordance with Section 10.4(c) below.

 

(ii)           Cash Security Deposits and any prepaid rents, together with any interest required to be paid thereon.

 

26











 

(iii)          Utility charges payable by Seller, including, without limitation, electricity, water charges and sewer charges. If there are meters on the Real Property, final readings and final billings for utilities will be made if possible on the day before the Closing Date, in which event no proration will be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills. If meter readings on the day before the Closing Date are not possible, then Seller will cause readings of all said meters to be performed not more than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, and a per diem adjustment shall be made for the days between the meter reading date and the Closing Date based on the most recent meter reading. Seller will be entitled to all deposits presently in effect with the utility providers, and Purchaser will be obligated to make its own arrangements for any deposits with the utility providers.  Seller has informed the Township of Piscataway of over-billing errors made in connection with sanitary sewer service provided to the Property during the period beginning in July, 2010 and continuing.  Seller is pursuing a claim for a refund from the Township with respect to such over-billing.  With respect to such claim Seller shall be entitle to continue to pursue a refund and shall be entitled to recover and retain such refunds that relate to any period prior to the Closing.  This provision shall survive Closing.

 

(iv)          Amounts payable under the Service Contracts other than those Service Contracts which Purchaser has elected not to assume by written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period.

 

(v)           Real estate taxes due and payable for the calendar year. If the Closing Date shall occur before the tax rate is fixed, the apportionment of real estate taxes shall be upon the basis of the tax rate for the preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation. If, subsequent to the Closing Date, real estate taxes (by reason of change in either assessment or rate or for any other reason other than as a result of the final determination or settlement of any tax appeal) for the Real Property should be determined to be higher or lower than those that are apportioned, a new computation shall be made, and Seller agrees to pay Purchaser any increase shown by such recomputation and vice versa; provided, however, that if any increase in the assessed value of the Property results from improvements made to the Property by Purchaser, then Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any increase in taxes attributable thereto. With respect to tax appeals, any tax refunds or credits attributable to tax years prior to the tax year in which the Closing occurs shall belong solely to Seller, regardless of whether such refunds are paid or credits are given before or after Closing. Any tax refunds or credits attributable to the tax year in which the Closing occurs shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser based on their respective periods of ownership in such tax year. The expenses of any tax appeals shall be apportioned between the parties in the same manner as the refunds and/or credits. The provisions of this Section 10.4(a)(v) shall survive the Closing.

 

(vi)          The value of fuel stored at the Real Property, at Seller’s most recent cost, including taxes, on the basis of a reading made within ten (10) days prior to the Closing by Seller’s supplier.

 

27











 

(b)           Seller will be charged and credited for the amounts of all of the Proration Items relating to the period up to and including the Proration Time, and Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the Proration Items relating to the period after the Proration Time. The estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on a preliminary closing statement to be prepared by Seller and submitted to Purchaser prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement, once agreed upon, shall be signed by Purchaser and Seller. The proration shall be paid at Closing by Purchaser to Seller (if the prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Purchaser (if the prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing. If the actual amounts of the Proration Items are not known as of the Closing Date, the prorations will be made at Closing on the basis of the best evidence then available; thereafter, when actual figures are received, re-prorations will be made on the basis of the actual figures, and a final cash settlement will be made between Seller and Purchaser. No prorations will be made in relation to insurance premiums, and Seller’s insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 10.4(b) will survive the Closing for twelve (12) months.

 

(c)           Purchaser will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the prorated amount (as of the Proration Time) of all Rental previously paid to or collected by Seller and attributable to any period following the Proration Time. After the Closing, Seller will cause to be paid or turned over to Purchaser all Rental, if any, received by Seller after Closing and attributable to any period following the Proration Time. “Rental” as used herein includes fixed monthly rentals, additional rentals, percentage rentals, escalation rentals (which include each Tenant’s proration share of building operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the Lease, to the extent the same exceeds any expense stop specified in such Lease), retroactive rentals, all administrative charges, utility charges, tenant or real property association dues, storage rentals, special event proceeds, temporary rents, telephone receipts, locker rentals, vending machine receipts and other sums and charges payable by Tenants under the Leases or from other occupants or users of the Property. Rental is “Delinquent” when it was due prior to the Closing Date, and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Proration Time. Delinquent Rental will not be prorated. Purchaser agrees to use good faith collection procedures with respect to the collection of any Delinquent Rental. All sums collected by Purchaser in the month of Closing shall be applied to the month of Closing. All sums collected by Purchaser thereafter from each Tenant (excluding tenant specific billings for tenant work orders and other specific services as described in and governed by Section 10.4(e) below) will be applied first to current amounts owed by such Tenant to Purchaser, and then delinquencies owed by such Tenant to Seller. Any sums due Seller will be promptly remitted to Seller.  Purchaser shall not modify, amend or terminate any existing agreements with Tenants relating to past rent due.

 

(d)           At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a list of additional rent, however characterized, under each Lease, including without limitation, real estate taxes, electrical charges, utility costs, easement charges and operating expenses (collectively, “Operating Expenses”) billed to Tenants for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs (both on a monthly basis and in the aggregate), the basis on which the monthly amounts are being billed and the amounts actually incurred by Seller on account of the components of Operating Expenses for such calendar year. Upon the reconciliation by Purchaser of the estimated Operating Expenses billed to Tenants, and the amounts actually incurred for such

 

28











 

calendar year, Seller and Purchaser shall be liable to Tenants for the refund of any overpayments of Operating Expenses, and shall be entitled to payments from Tenants in the event of underpayments, as the case may be, on a prorata basis based upon each party’s period of ownership during such calendar year.

 

(e)           With respect to specific tenant billings for work orders, special items performed or provided at the request of a Tenant or other specific services, which are collected by Purchaser after the Closing Date but relate to the foregoing specific services rendered by Seller prior to the Proration Time, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall cause the first amounts collected from such Tenant to be paid to Seller on account thereof.

 

(f)            Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 10.4 to the contrary, Purchaser will be solely responsible for any leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs or other expenditures due with respect to any Lease amendments, renewals and/or expansions entered into or, if pursuant to options, exercised after the Effective Date.  Purchaser further agrees to be solely responsible for all leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs and other expenditures (for purposes of this Section 10.4(f), “New Tenant Costs”) incurred or to be incurred in connection with any new lease executed on or after the Effective Date in accordance with Section 7.1 above, and Purchaser will pay to Seller at Closing as an addition to the Purchase Price an amount equal to any New Tenant Costs paid by Seller.

 

Section 10.5          Costs of Title Company and Closing Costs. Costs of the Title Company and other Closing costs incurred in connection with the Closing will be allocated as follows:

 

(a)           Seller shall pay (i) Seller’s attorney’s fees; (ii) one-half (1/2) of escrow fees, if any; (iii) the cost of recording any discharges or satisfactions of liens that are the Seller’s responsibility to cure at Closing; and (iv) the realty transfer tax.

 

(b)           Purchaser shall pay (i) the costs of recording the Deed to the Property and all other documents; (ii) the premium for an owner’s title insurance policy, the cost of customary title searches, the cost of any additional coverage under the title insurance policy or endorsements; (iii) all premiums and other costs for any mortgagee policy of title insurance, including but not limited to any additional coverage or endorsements required by the mortgage lender; (iv) Purchaser’s attorney’s fees; (v) one-half (1/2) of escrow fees, if any; (vi) the costs of the Updated Survey, as provided for in Section 6.1; and (vii) the New Jersey “Mansion Tax” to the extent required pursuant to N.J.S.A. 46:15-7-2.

 

(c)           Any other costs and expenses of Closing not provided for in this Section 10.5 shall be allocated between Purchaser and Seller in accordance with the custom in the area in which the Property is located.

 

Section 10.6          Post-Closing Delivery of Tenant Notice Letters. Immediately following Closing, Purchaser will deliver to each Tenant a Tenant Notice Letter, as described in Section 10.2(e).

 

Section 10.7          Like-Kind Exchange. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Seller may now or hereafter desire to enter into a partially or completely nontaxable exchange (a “Section

 

29











 

1031 Exchange”) involving the Property (and/or any one or more of the properties comprising the Property) under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. In connection therewith, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller and shall take, and consent to Seller taking, any action in furtherance of effectuating a Section 1031 Exchange (including, without limitation, any action undertaken pursuant to Revenue Procedure 2000-37, 2000-40. IRB, as may hereafter be amended or revised (the “Revenue Procedure”)), including, without limitation, (a) permitting Seller or an “exchange accommodation titleholder” (within the meaning of the Revenue Procedure) (“EAT”) to assign, or cause the assignment of, this Agreement and all of Seller’s rights hereunder with respect to any or all of the Property to a “qualified intermediary” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(iii)) (a “QI”); (b) permitting Seller to assign this Agreement and all of Seller’s rights and obligations hereunder with respect to any or all of the Property and/or to convey, transfer or sell any or all of the Property, to (i) an EAT; (ii) any one or more limited liability companies (“LLCs”) that are wholly-owned by an EAT; or (iii) any one or more LLCs that are wholly-owned by Seller and/or any affiliate of Seller and to thereafter permit Seller to assign its interest in such one or more LLCs to an EAT; and (c) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, having any or all of the Property conveyed by an EAT or any one or more of the LLCs referred to in (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) above, and allowing for the consideration therefor to be paid by an EAT, any such LLC or a QI; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to delay the Closing; and provided further that Seller shall provide whatever safeguards are reasonably requested by Purchaser, and not inconsistent with Seller’s desire to effectuate a Section 1031 Exchange involving any of the Property, to ensure that all of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement shall be satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof.

 

ARTICLE XI
 CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY

 

Section 11.1          Casualty. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or a Significant Portion of the Property is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller will notify Purchaser of such casualty. Purchaser will have the option to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller given not later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of Seller’s notice. If this Agreement is terminated, the Earnest Money Deposit and all interest accrued thereon will be returned to Purchaser and thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement or less than a Significant Portion of the Property is destroyed or damaged as aforesaid, Seller will not be obligated to repair such damage or destruction but (a) Seller will assign and turn over to Purchaser the insurance proceeds net of reasonable collection costs (or if such have not been awarded, all of its right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to such fire or other casualty up to the amount of the Purchase Price and (b) the parties will proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Purchase Price, except that Purchaser will receive a credit for any insurance deductible amount. In the event Seller elects to perform any repairs as a result of a casualty, Seller will be entitled to deduct its costs and expenses from any amount to which Purchaser is entitled under this Section 11.1, which right shall survive the Closing; provided, however, that if the casualty occurs after the expiration of the Evaluation Period, then Seller’s right to make such repairs shall be subject to

 

30











 

the prior written approval of Purchaser, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

Section 11.2          Condemnation of Property. In the event of (a) any condemnation or sale in lieu of condemnation of all of the Property; or (b) any condemnation or sale in lieu of condemnation of greater than ten percent (10%) of the fair market value of the Property prior to the Closing, Purchaser will have the option, to be exercised within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of such condemnation or sale, of terminating Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, or electing to have this Agreement remain in full force and effect. In the event that either (i) any condemnation or sale in lieu of condemnation of the Property is for less than ten percent (10%) of the fair market value of the Property, or (ii) Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence, Seller will assign to Purchaser any and all claims for the proceeds of such condemnation or sale to the extent the same are applicable to the Property, and Purchaser will take title to the Property with the assignment of such proceeds and subject to such condemnation and without reduction of the Purchase Price. Should Purchaser elect to terminate Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement under the provisions of this Section 11.2, the Earnest Money Deposit and any interest thereon will be returned to Purchaser and neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further obligation under this Agreement, except for the Termination Surviving Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any eminent domain or condemnation proceeding is instituted (or notice of same is given) solely for the taking of any subsurface rights for utility easements or for any right-of-way easement, and the surface may, after such taking, be used in substantially the same manner as though such rights have not been taken, Purchaser will not be entitled to terminate this Agreement as to any part of the Property, but any award resulting therefrom will be assigned to Purchaser at Closing and will be the exclusive property of Purchaser upon Closing.

 

ARTICLE XII
 CONFIDENTIALITY

 

Section 12.1          Confidentiality. Seller and Purchaser each expressly acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the terms, conditions, and negotiations concerning the same will be held in the strictest confidence by each of them and will not be disclosed by either of them except to their respective legal counsel, accountants, consultants, officers, partners, directors, and shareholders, and except and only to the extent that such disclosure may be necessary for their respective performances hereunder. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that, unless and until the Closing occurs, all information obtained by Purchaser in connection with the Property will not be disclosed by Purchaser to any third persons without the prior written consent of Seller. Nothing contained in this Article XII will preclude or limit either party to this Agreement from disclosing or accessing any information otherwise deemed confidential under this Article XII in response to lawful process or subpoena or other valid or enforceable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or any filings with governmental authorities or stock exchange required by reason of the transactions provided for herein pursuant to advice of counsel. Nothing in this Article XII will negate, supersede or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties under the Confidentiality Agreement.  In addition, prior to, at or after the Closing, any release to the public of information with respect to the sale contemplated herein or any matters set forth in this Agreement will be made only in a form approved by Purchaser and Seller and their respective counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,

 

31











 

conditioned or delayed. The provisions of this Article XII will survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE XIII
 REMEDIES

 

Section 13.1          Default by Seller. In the event the Closing and the transactions contemplated hereby do not occur as herein provided by reason of any default of Seller, Purchaser may, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, elect by notice to Seller within ten (10) Business Days following the Scheduled Closing Date, either of the following: (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event Purchaser will receive from the Escrow Agent the Earnest Money Deposit, together with all interest accrued thereon, and reimbursement from Seller of Purchaser’s reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses payable to third parties in connection with this transaction; provided, however, that the reimbursement by Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement shall not exceed One Hundred Eighty Thousand Thirty-Nine Dollars and no/100 Cents ($180,039.00) and the aggregate reimbursement by Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement and the Other P&S Agreements shall not exceed  Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) (the “Reimbursement Cap”); whereupon Seller and Purchaser will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations; or (b) seek to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligation to execute the documents required to convey the Property to Purchaser, it being understood and agreed that the remedy of specific performance shall not be available to enforce any other obligation of Seller hereunder. Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of Seller’s default hereunder. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive back the Earnest Money Deposit if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located on or before thirty (30) days following the Scheduled Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 13.1 will limit Purchaser’s remedies at law, in equity or as herein provided in pursuing remedies of a breach by Seller of any of the Termination Surviving Obligations.

 

Section 13.2          Default by Purchaser. In the event the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein do not occur as provided herein, and if the Closing does not occur by reason of any default of Purchaser, Purchaser and Seller agree it would be impractical and extremely difficult to fix the damages which Seller may suffer. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that (a) an amount equal to the Earnest Money Deposit, together with all interest accrued thereon, is a reasonable estimate of the total net detriment Seller would suffer in the event Purchaser defaults and fails to complete the purchase of the Property, and (b) such amount will be the full, agreed and liquidated damages for Purchaser’s default and failure to complete the purchase of the Property, and will be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law or in equity) for any default by Purchaser resulting in the failure of consummation of the Closing, whereupon this Agreement will terminate and Seller and Purchaser will have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations. The  payment of such amount as liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty but is intended to constitute liquidated damages to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein will limit Seller’s remedies at law, in equity or as herein provided in the event of a breach by Purchaser of any of the Termination Surviving Obligations.

ARTICLE XV
 ASSIGNMENT

 

Section 15.1          Assignment: Binding Effect. Purchaser shall not have the right to assign this Agreement except with the prior written consent of Seller, which such consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion.  In the event that Seller consents to any such assignment, Purchaser shall be solely responsible and shall pay any transfer tax levied or due in connection with such assignment and shall indemnify Seller from any such transfer tax liability and Purchaser shall remain liable under this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 15.1 shall survive Closing.

 

ARTICLE XVI
 BROKERAGE.

 

Section 16.1          Brokers. Purchaser and Seller represent that they have not dealt with any brokers, finders or salesmen, in connection with this transaction. Purchaser and Seller agree to indemnify, defend and hold each other harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which either party may sustain, incur or be exposed to by reason of any claim for fees or commissions made through the other party. The provisions of this Article XVI will survive any Closing or termination of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE XVII
 ESCROW AGENT

 

Section 17.1          Escrow.

 

(a)           Escrow Agent will hold the Earnest Money Deposit in escrow in an interest-bearing account of the type generally used by Escrow Agent for the holding of escrow

 

34











 

funds until the earlier of (i) the Closing, or (ii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with any right hereunder. In the event Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement by the end of the Evaluation Period, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be non-refundable to Purchaser, but shall be credited against the Purchase Price at the Closing. All interest earned on the Earnest Money Deposit shall be paid to the party entitled to the Earnest Money Deposit. In the event this Agreement is terminated prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period, the Earnest Money Deposit and all interest accrued thereon will be returned by the Escrow Agent to Purchaser. In the event the Closing occurs, the Earnest Money Deposit and all interest accrued thereon will be released to Seller, and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the Earnest Money Deposit, without the interest. In all other instances, Escrow Agent shall not release the Earnest Money Deposit to either party until Escrow Agent has been requested by Seller or Purchaser to release the Earnest Money Deposit and has given the other party five (5) Business Days to object to the release of the Earnest Money Deposit by giving written notice of such objection to the requesting party and Escrow Agent. Purchaser represents that its tax identification number, for purposes of reporting the interest earnings, is 46-4848086. Seller represents that its tax identification number, for purposes of reporting the interest earnings, is 86-1105189.

 

(b)           Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any party for any act or omission,  except for bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, and the parties agree to indemnify Escrow Agent and hold Escrow Agent harmless from any and all claims, damages, losses or expenses arising in connection herewith. The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as stakeholder for their mutual convenience. In the event Escrow Agent receives written notice of a dispute between the parties with respect to the Earnest Money Deposit and the interest earned thereon (the “Escrowed Funds”), Escrow Agent shall not be bound to release and deliver the Escrowed Funds to either party but may either (i) continue to hold the Escrowed Funds until otherwise directed in a writing signed by all parties hereto or (ii) deposit the Escrowed Funds with the clerk of any court of competent jurisdiction. Upon such deposit, Escrow Agent will be released from all duties and responsibilities hereunder. Escrow Agent shall have the right to consult with separate counsel of its own choosing (if it deems such consultation advisable) and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

 

(c)           Escrow Agent shall not be required to defend any legal proceeding which may be instituted against it with respect to the Escrowed Funds, the Property or the subject matter of this Agreement unless requested to do so by Purchaser or Seller, and Escrow Agent is indemnified to its satisfaction against the cost and expense of such defense. Escrow Agent shall not be required to institute legal proceedings of any kind and shall have no responsibility for the genuineness or validity of any document or other item deposited with it or the collectability of any check delivered in connection with this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with any written instructions given to it hereunder and believed by it to have been signed by the proper parties.

ARTICLE XVIII
 MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 18.1          Waivers. No waiver of any breach of any covenant or provisions contained herein will be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, or of any other covenant or provision contained herein. No extension of time for performance of any obligation or act will be deemed an extension of the time for performance of any other obligation or act.

 

Section 18.2          Recovery of Certain Fees. In the event a party hereto files any action or suit against another party hereto alleging any breach of any of the covenants, agreements or provisions contained in this Agreement, then in that event the prevailing party will be entitled to have and recover certain fees from the other party including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs resulting therefrom. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “attorneys’ fees” or “attorneys’ fees and costs” shall mean the fees and expenses of counsel to the parties hereto, which may include printing, photocopying, duplicating and other expenses, air freight charges, and fees billed for law clerks, paralegals and other persons not admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of an attorney, and the costs and fees incurred in connection with the enforcement or collection of any judgment obtained in any such proceeding. The provisions of this Section 18.2 shall survive the entry of any judgment, and shall not merge, or be deemed to have merged, into any judgment.

 

Section 18.3          Construction. Headings at the beginning of each Article and Section of this Agreement are solely for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular will include the plural and the masculine will include the feminine and vice versa. This Agreement will not be construed as if it had been prepared by one of the parties, but rather as if both parties had prepared the same. All exhibits and schedules referred to in this Agreement are attached and incorporated by this reference, and any capitalized term used in any exhibit or schedule which is not defined in such exhibit or schedule will have the meaning attributable to such term in the body of this Agreement. In the event the date on which Purchaser or Seller is required to take any action under the terms of this Agreement is not a Business Day, the action will be taken on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

Section 18.4          Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when assembled to include a signature for each party contemplated to sign this Agreement, will constitute a complete and fully executed contract. All such fully executed counterparts will collectively constitute a single agreement. The delivery of a signed counterpart of this Agreement via e-mail or other electronic means by a party to this Agreement or legal counsel for such party shall be legally binding on such party, as fully as the delivery of a counterpart bearing an original signature of such party.

 

Section 18.5          Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all of the other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any adverse manner to either party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to reflect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in

 

36











 

an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

 

Section 18.6          Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the final expression of, and contains the entire agreement between, the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior understandings with respect thereto. This Agreement may not be modified, changed, supplemented or terminated, nor may any obligations hereunder be waived, except by written instrument, signed by the party to be charged or by its agent duly authorized in writing, or as otherwise expressly permitted herein.

 

Section 18.7          Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE CONSTRUED, PERFORMED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY. SELLER AND PURCHASER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY.

 

Section 18.8          No Recording. The parties hereto agree that neither this Agreement nor any affidavit or memorandum concerning it will be recorded, and any recording of this Agreement or any such affidavit or memorandum by Purchaser will be deemed a default by Purchaser hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may file a statutory notice of settlement in the land records of the county in which the Real Property is located.

 

Section 18.9          Further Actions. The parties agree to execute such instructions to the Title Company and such other instruments and to do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

Except as set forth in this Section 18.12, nothing contained in this Agreement shall under any circumstances whatsoever be deemed or construed, or be interpreted, as making any third party (including, without limitation, Broker) a beneficiary of any term or provision of this Agreement or any instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto, and Purchaser and Seller expressly reject any such intent, construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

Section 18.13       Discharge of Obligations.

1.             That attached hereto as “Exhibit A” is a true, correct and complete copy of the Lease, together with all amendments thereto, which Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified, supplemented or amended in any way except as set forth in “Exhibit A.”  The Leased Premises have not been sublet in whole or in part, except                                                   , and the Lease has not been assigned or encumbered in whole or in part, whether conditionally, collaterally or otherwise, except                                                 .

 

2.             Tenant has accepted possession of the Leased Premises and is presently in occupancy of the Leased Premises.  The initial term of the Lease commenced on                               , and the current term of the Lease will expire on                                                           .

7.             Tenant has no purchase options under the Lease or any other right or option to purchase the real property and/or improvements, or a part thereof, on which the demised premises are located.

CERTIFICATE OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS

 

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provides that under specified circumstances, a transferee of a United States real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person.  For United States tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a United States real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the real property interest and not the disregarded entity.  To inform                            (the “Transferee”), that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a United States real property interest by                            (the “Transferor”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following:

 

1.             The Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Code and Income Tax Regulations).

 

2.             The Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

 

3.             The Transferor’s United States taxpayer identification number is                                         .

 

4.             The Transferor’s office address is                                                                             .

 

The Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the Transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both.

 

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certification and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of the Transferor.

(c)           It is the intention of the Members to satisfy the Capital Account maintenance requirements of Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv), and the foregoing provisions defining Capital Accounts are intended to comply with such provisions.  If the Manager determines that adjustments to Capital Accounts are necessary to comply with such Regulations, then the adjustments shall be made, provided it does not materially impact upon the manner in which property is distributed to the Members in liquidation of the Company.

 

(d)           Except as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement, whenever it is necessary to determine the Capital Account of a Member, the Capital Account of such Member shall be determined after giving effect to all allocations and distributions for transactions effected prior to the time as of which such determination is to be made.  Any Member, including any substituted Member, who shall acquire a Membership Interest or whose interest shall be increased by means of a Transfer to him of all or part of the interest of another Member, shall have a Capital Account which reflects such Transfer.

 

Section 24.5          Withdrawal and Return of Capital.  Although the Company may make distributions to the Members from time to time in return of their Capital Contributions, the Members shall not have the right to withdraw or demand a return of any of their Capital Contributions or Capital Account without the consent of all Members except upon dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

 

Section 24.6          Interest on Capital.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, no interest shall be payable on any Capital Contributions made to the Company.

(k)           Thereafter, (x) fifty percent (50%) to the Keystone Investor and (y) fifty percent (50%) to MCG.

 

Section 25.2          Timing of Distributions.  Distributions of Available Cash shall be at such times and in such amounts as the Manager shall reasonably determine; provided, that the Manager shall distribute Available Cash at least once per calendar quarter unless the applicable credit agreement or loan document to which the Company or its subsidiaries are a party prohibits such distribution, in which case the Manager shall immediately distribute all amounts that were not distributed on account of such prohibition as soon as permissible under the applicable credit agreement or loan document.

 

Section 25.3          Taxes Withheld.  Unless treated as a Tax Payment Loan (as hereinafter defined), any amount paid by the Company for or with respect to any Member on account of any withholding tax or other tax payable with respect to the income, profits or distributions of the Company pursuant to the Code, the Regulations, or any state or local statute, regulation or ordinance requiring such payment (a “Withholding Tax Act”) shall be treated as a distribution to such Member for all purposes of this Agreement, consistent with the character or source of the income, profits or cash which gave rise to the payment or withholding obligation.  To the extent that the amount required to be remitted by the Company under the Withholding Tax Act exceeds 

 

12











 

the amount then otherwise distributable to such Member, the excess shall constitute a loan from the Company to such Member (a “Tax Payment Loan”) which shall be payable upon demand and shall bear interest, from the date that the Company makes the payment to the relevant taxing authority, at the Prime Rate plus one percent (1.00%), compounded monthly.  The Manager shall give prompt written notice to such Member of such loan.  So long as any Tax Payment Loan or the interest thereon remains unpaid, the Company shall make future distributions due to such Member under this Agreement by applying the amount of any such distribution first to the payment of any unpaid interest on all Tax Payment Loans of such Member and then to the repayment of the principal of all Tax Payment Loans of such Member.  The Manager shall have the authority to take all actions necessary to enable the Company to comply with the provisions of any Withholding Tax Act applicable to the Company and to carry out the provisions of this Section.  Nothing in this Section shall create any obligation on the Manager to advance funds to the Company or to borrow funds from third parties in order to make any payments on account of any liability of the Company under a Withholding Tax Act.

 

Section 25.4          Offset for MCG Liabilities Under the Purchase Agreement.  To the extent that the Keystone Investor or its Affiliates (each, a “Damaged Party”) receive a decision by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final adjudication,  which  has determined that the Damaged Party has incurred any claim, demand, controversy, dispute, cost, loss, damage, expense, judgment, or loss (collectively, “Damages”), for which such Persons are entitled to indemnification from MCG pursuant to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the Manager may, in its sole discretion, withhold distributions from MCG and instead pay them to the Damaged Party for application against the unpaid balance remaining of such Damages.

 

ARTICLE XXVI
 ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

 

Section 26.1          Net Profits and Net Losses.

 

(a)           In General.  Net Profits and Net Losses of the Company shall be determined and allocated with respect to each Fiscal Year or other period of the Company as of the end of such year or other period.  An allocation to a Member of a share of Net Profits and Net Losses shall be treated as an allocation of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss and deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Profits and Net Losses.  For purposes of applying Section 8.1[(d) / (e)], after making the Special Allocations in Section 8.2 for the Fiscal Year or other period, if any, a Member’s Capital Account balance shall be deemed to be increased by such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain determined as of the end of such Fiscal Year or other period, and such other amount a Member is deemed to be obligated to restore under Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iii)(c).

 

(b)           Allocations.  Net Profits or Net Losses for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be allocated to the Members as follows:

 

(i)            Net Profits shall first be allocated to the Members in an amount sufficient to reverse, on a cumulative basis, the cumulative amount of any Net Losses (exclusive of any amounts previously offset against Net Profits) allocated to the Members in the current and 

 

13











 

all prior Fiscal Years pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii), allocated to each Member in the reverse order and in proportion to the allocation of such Net Losses to such Member;

 

(ii)           Then, Net Profits shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to the amounts actually received by each Member pursuant to Section 7.1(a)-[(d) / (f)] for each Fiscal Year with respect to such Fiscal Year until such time as distributions are made pursuant to Section 7.1[(e) / (g)] and at that time fifty percent (50%) to the Keystone Investor and fifty percent (50%) to MCG; provided, that, in the event that no amounts are actually distributed pursuant to Section 7.1 in any Fiscal Year, Net Profits for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Members in the manner that such Net Profits would have been allocated had an amount of cash equal to the Net Profits for such Fiscal Year been distributed pursuant to Section 7.1 in such Fiscal Year.

 

(iii)          Net Losses shall be allocated to the Members in reverse order in which Net Profits were previously allocated pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(ii), and thereafter, fifty percent (50%) to the Keystone Investor and fifty percent (50%) to MCG.

 

(c)           Net Losses allocated to a Member pursuant to Section 8.1(b) shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses which can be so allocated without causing any Member to have a deficit in his or her Adjusted Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year or other period.  The portion of Net Losses that would be allocated to a Member but for the limitation of the prior sentence shall be allocated among the other Members having positive balances in their Adjusted Capital Accounts in proportion to and to the extent of such positive balances and, thereafter, in accordance with the Members’ respective economic risk of loss with respect to any indebtedness to which the remaining Net Losses (or an item thereof), if any, is attributable.

 

(d)           Gain and loss from a Capital Event shall be allocated (other than a Capital Event that is a sale pursuant to Section 10.5):

 

(i)            first to those Members with Adjusted Capital Account deficits, until all such Adjusted Capital Account balances are equal to zero;

 

(ii)           then, among all Members in the amount necessary for the Adjusted Capital Account balances of each Member (as determined after a hypothetical distribution of all cash proceeds in accordance with Section 7.1) to equal zero, and

 

(iii)          thereafter, fifty percent (50%) to the Keystone Investor and fifty percent (50%) to MCG;

 

provided, that, to the extent necessary to bring the Adjusted Capital Account balances of the Members to equal zero in Section 8.1(d)(i) and Section 8.1(d)(ii) of this Agreement, if there are insufficient gains from the Capital Event, items of gross income shall be allocated as necessary to so adjust the Adjusted Capital Account balances.

 

(e)           Gain and loss from a sale pursuant to Section 10.5 shall be allocated:

 

14












 

(i)            first to those Members with Adjusted Capital Account deficits, until all such Adjusted Capital Account balances are equal to zero;

 

(ii)           then, among all Members in the amount necessary for the Adjusted Capital Account balances of each Member (as determined after a hypothetical distribution of all cash proceeds in accordance with Section 10.6) to equal zero, and

 

(iii)          thereafter, on a Pro Rata basis to the Keystone Investor and to MCG;

 

provided, that, to the extent necessary to bring the Adjusted Capital Account balances of the Members to equal zero in Section 8.1(e)(i) and Section 8.1(e)(ii) of this Agreement, if there are insufficient gains from the Capital Event, items of gross income shall be allocated as necessary to so adjust the Adjusted Capital Account balances.

 

Section 26.2          Special Allocations.  The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

 

(a)           Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, in the event there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during a Company taxable year, each Member shall be allocated (before any other allocation is made pursuant to this Section 8) items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain.

 

(i)            The determination of a Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(g).

 

(ii)           The items to be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with this Section 8.2(a) shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(6).

 

(iii)          This Section 8.2(a) is intended to comply with the Minimum Gain chargeback requirement set forth in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

(b)           Member Minimum Gain Chargeback:  Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4), in the event there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain during a Company taxable year, each Member who has a share of that Member Minimum Gain as of the beginning of the year, to the extent required by Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain.  Allocations pursuant to this subparagraph (b) shall be made in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4).  This Section 8.2(b) is intended to comply with the requirement set forth in Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

(c)           Qualified Income Offset Allocation.  In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) which would cause the negative balance in such Member’s Capital Account to exceed the sum of 

 

15











 

(i) his obligation to restore a Capital Account deficit upon liquidation of the Company, plus (ii) his share of Company Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)(1), plus (iii) such Member’s share of Member Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(5), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such excess negative balance in his Capital Account as quickly as possible.  This Section 8.2(c) is intended to comply with the alternative test for economic effect set forth in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

(d)           Gross Income Allocation.  In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Company Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) any amounts such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to this Agreement, plus (ii) such Member’s distributive share of Company Minimum Gain as of such date determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1), plus (iii) such Member’s share of Member Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 8.2(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Section 8 have been made, except assuming that Section 8.2(c) and this Section 8.2(d) were not contained in this Agreement.

 

(e)           Allocation of Nonrecourse Deductions.  Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

 

(f)            Allocation of Member Nonrecourse Deductions.  Member Nonrecourse Deductions  specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(1) of the Regulations.

 

(g)           Curative Allocations.  The allocations set forth in Sections 8.2(a)-(f) and Section 8.1(c) (also “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 8 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating subsequent Net Profits, Net Losses and items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of subsequent Net Profits, Net Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8 if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.  For purposes of applying the foregoing sentence, allocations pursuant to this Section 8.2(g) shall be made:  (i) by taking into account Regulatory Allocations which, although not made yet, are likely to be made in the future; and (ii) only to the extent the Manager reasonably determines that such curative allocations are appropriate in order to realize the intended economic agreement among the Members.

 

Section 26.3          Built-In Gain or Loss/Code Section 704(c) Tax Allocations.  In the event that the Capital Accounts of the Members are credited with or adjusted to reflect the fair market value of the Company’s property and assets, the Members’ distributive shares of depreciation, 

 

16











 

depletion, amortization, and gain or loss, as computed for tax purposes, with respect to such property, shall be determined pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder, so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted tax basis and book value of such property.  Any deductions, income, gain or loss specially allocated pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining Net Profits or Net Losses or for purposes of adjusting a Member’s Capital Account.

 

Section 26.4          Tax Allocations.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.3, items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company to be allocated for income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members on the same basis as the corresponding book items were allocated under Sections 8.1 through 8.2.

MCG shall respond within seven (7) Business Days after the date it is notified of the need for such consent or action; provided, that, if the Manager reasonably determines that the matter is an emergency or otherwise must be decided within a shorter time period, the Manager may indicate in the notice the need for an expedited decision and MCG shall have three (3) Business Days to respond to the request for consent or action.  If MCG does not respond within such seven (7) or three (3) Business Day period, then such matter or action requested shall be deemed approved by MCG.

When the Manager and Members have reached a decision on whether to approve the funding of the Supplemental Capital Contribution and the percentage that each Member would fund, the Manager shall issue a capital call for such amount in accordance with Section 6.2.

 

(v)           Settling or compromising any claims or causes of action against the Company, or agreeing on behalf of the Company to pay any disputed claims or causes of action, if payments by the Company pursuant to such settlements, compromises, or agreements would exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000);

(xi)          Establishing leasing guidelines for the Project, or entering into a lease with tenants at the Project that does not comply with the leasing guidelines; provided, that MCG shall not have the right to approve such leases or amendments to the leasing guidelines if a lender to the Company or its subsidiaries approves such leases or amendments to leasing guidelines in accordance with its loan documents;

 

(xii)         Commingling Company funds with the funds of any other Person;

(xviii)      Causing the Company to loan Company funds to any Person.

 

(e)           If the Manager and MCG disagree with respect to a Major Decision, they shall attempt to resolve such disagreement in good faith for ten (10) Business Days following MCG’s notice to Manager of such disagreement.  If such disagreement is not resolved within ten (10) Business Days, then either MCG, on the one hand, or the Manager and the Keystone Investor (acting together), on the other hand, may initiate the buy-sell procedures under Section 10.4.

 

(f)            Budget Approval.

 

(i)            The initial operating and capital budgets of the Company (each, an  “Initial Budget”) are attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B, which budgets have been approved by the Manager and MCG.  At least sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of each Fiscal Year of the Company (beginning for the Fiscal Year 2015), the Manager shall cause to be prepared and shall submit to MCG a budget in reasonable detail for such Fiscal Year.  At the request of MCG, the Manager will meet with MCG, at a time and place reasonably agreed to by the parties, to discuss each proposed budget.  At such meetings, the Manager shall provide to MCG back-up materials that MCG may reasonably request regarding each proposed budget.  MCG shall consider such budget and shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of the upcoming Fiscal Year, approve or reject such budget.  If MCG rejects a budget, the Manager and MCG shall use diligent efforts to revise the proposed budget in form and substance satisfactory to both the Manager and MCG in their reasonable judgment.  Each budget approved by MCG pursuant to this Section 9.1(f), including the Initial Budget, is hereafter called the 

 

20











 

“Approved Budget.”  If the Manager and MCG cannot agree on an Approved Budget for a Fiscal Year prior to January 31 of such Fiscal Year, then either MCG, on the one hand, or the Manager and the Keystone Investor (acting together), on the other hand, may initiate the buy-sell procedures under Section 10.4.

 

(ii)           The Manager may make the expenditures provided for in and otherwise implement the Approved Budget, and may expend amounts in excess of the Approved Budget, provided that overall expenditures for a Fiscal Year do  not exceed the Approved Budget by more than ten percent (10%).  For the purpose of clarity, the ten percent (10%) limitation in the prior sentence shall apply to operating Approved Budgets and capital Approved Budgets separately (e.g., the Manager may not expend an additional 10% of the capital Approved Budget on operational expenses).  If the Manager desires to expend amounts in excess of such amount, then it shall be a “Major Decision” subject to the procedures of Section 9.1(d).

 

(iii)          Until final approval of an Approved Budget by MCG, the Manager shall be authorized to operate the Project on the basis of the previous Fiscal Year’s Approved Budget, together with an increase in such Approved Budget equal to the actual increase in expenses associated with real estate taxes and assessments, insurance premiums, debt service and utilities relating to the Project.  Any and all projections contained in any Approved Budget or prior version provided by the Manager are simply estimates and assessments and do not constitute any guaranty of performance whatsoever.

 

(iv)          Notwithstanding the approval rights of MCG in this Section 9.1(f), a budget shall be deemed to be an “Approved Budget,” and MCG shall not have the right to approve it, if a lender to the Company or its subsidiaries approves such budget in accordance with its loan documents.  In addition, any expenditure that MCG would have the right to approve under Section 9.1(f)(ii) shall be deemed approved if a lender to the Company or its subsidiaries approves such expenditure in accordance with its loan documents.

 

Section 27.2          Other Activities.   Any Member (including the Manager) and Affiliates of any of them may act as general, limited or managing members for other companies or managers or members of other limited liability companies engaged in businesses similar to those conducted hereunder, even if competitive with the business of the Company.  Nothing herein shall limit any Member, or Affiliates of any of them, from engaging in any other business activities, and the Members and their Affiliates shall not incur any obligation, fiduciary or otherwise, to disclose, grant or offer any interest in such activities to any party hereto.

 

Section 27.3          Indemnification.  Each Member (including the Manager), its members, managers, agents, employees and representatives shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law, against any losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by it or any of them in connection with the Company, provided that such liability or loss was not the result of fraud or willful misconduct on the part of such Member or such person.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify MCG and M-C Corp., M-C LP, and their Affiliates to the fullest extent permitted by law, against any losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by it or any of them in connection with the Initial Financing and any other funds borrowed by the Company, provided that such liability or loss 

 

21











 

was not the result of fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such indemnified Persons.  All rights to indemnification permitted herein and payment of associated expenses shall not be affected by the dissolution or other cessation of the existence of the Member, or the withdrawal, adjudication of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Member.  Expenses incurred in defending a threatened or pending civil, administrative or criminal action, suit or proceeding against any Person who may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.3 may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, if such Person undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company in cases in which it is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.3.

 

Section 27.4          Agreements with, and Fees to, the Members and their Affiliates.

 

(a)           The Manager or its Affiliates may enter into any contract or agreement with the Company (or the subsidiary of the Company that owns the Project) for the provision of services to the Company or the Project, including, without limitation, providing property management, development, brokerage, construction, financing and accounting services for the Project, if such contract or agreement is necessary or desirable for the Company’s or Project’s business.  Without the consent of MCG, (i) such contracts shall be on customary terms and may provide for the payment of fees by the Project, the Company or its Affiliates at rates that do not exceed market rates and (ii) salaries and other costs of the Manager’s or its Affiliates’ employees who perform property-level services may be paid by the Project at rates that do not exceed market rates, in each case as determined by the Manager in its reasonable discretion; provided, that, any fees paid pursuant to property management agreements will be paid as follows: (x) eighty percent (80%) to the Manager or its designated Affiliate; and (y) twenty percent (20%) to MCG or its designated Affiliate.

 

(b)           In addition, the Company (or its subsidiary that owns the Project) shall enter into a leasing agency agreement with MCG or its designated Affiliate on customary terms and conditions, with fees that do not exceed market rates.  Such agreement may not be terminated by the Manager without MCG’s consent (unless the agreement is terminated by the Manager for “cause” as defined in such agreement).  Any fees paid pursuant to such agreements that exceed MCG’s costs (including costs of in-house legal services provided by MCG or its Affiliates in connection with the leasing of the Project) in providing leasing services (i.e., fee profits) will be paid as follows: (x) eighty percent (80%) to MCG or its designated Affiliate; and (y) twenty percent (20%) to the Manager or its designated Affiliate.

 

Section 27.5          REIT Provisions.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Members hereby acknowledge the status of M-C Corp. as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). The Members further agree that the Company (and any subsidiaries) and the Project shall be managed in a manner so that:  (a) the Company’s gross income meets the tests provided in Section 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code as if the Company were a REIT; (b) the Company’s assets meet the tests provided in Section 856(c)(4) of the Code as if the Company were a REIT; and (c) the Company minimizes federal, state and local income and excise taxes that may be incurred by M-C Corp or any of its affiliates, including taxes under Code Sections 857(b), 860(c) or 4981 (collectively and together with other REIT provisions of the Code or Regulations, the “REIT Requirements”) 

 

22











 

provided that such minimization does not unreasonably increase taxes or costs for the other Members.  The Members hereby acknowledge, agree and accept that, pursuant to this Section 9.5(a), the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) may be precluded from taking, or may be required to take, an action which it would not have otherwise taken, even though the taking or not taking of such action might otherwise be advantageous to the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) and/or to one or more of the Members (or one or more of their subsidiaries or affiliates).

 

(b)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Manager nor any Member will require the Company to take any material action which may, in the reasonable opinion of MCG’s tax advisors or legal counsel, result in the loss of M-C Corp.’s status as a REIT.  Furthermore, the Manager shall take reasonable steps to structure the Company’s (or any subsidiary’s) transactions to eliminate any prohibited transactions tax or other taxes that may be applicable to MCG and/or M-C Corp to the extent such actions do not impose an unreasonable cost or tax on other Members.

 

(c)           If MCG’s counsel reasonably determines that a taxable REIT subsidiary (as described in Section 856(l) of the Code) (a “TRS”) should be established to hold MCG’s Membership Interest, or to provide services at the Project, then M-C Corp., MCG or the Members (or any of their affiliates), as applicable, may form, or cause to be formed, such TRS only if it (i) provides at least five (5) days prior written notice thereof to the Members and (ii) prepares forms for election under Section 856(l)(l)(B) of the Code (in accordance with guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service) for M-C Corp. and causes the TRS to execute such election form and forwards it to the Company, and each Member for execution and filing by M-C Corp. if it so chooses.  Each Member shall reasonably cooperate with the formation of any TRS and execute any documents deemed reasonably necessary by M-C Corp. or MCG in connection therewith.  The Members shall reasonably cooperate in structuring ownership in the TRS favorably for all Members.

 

(d)           Without limiting the provisions of this Section 9.5, the Manager shall:

 

(i)            distribute sufficient cash to allow M-C Corp. to make all distributions attributable to its investment in the Company that are required due to its REIT status; provided, that, no cash shall be required to be distributed pursuant to this Section 9.5(d)(i) to the extent that: (y) the amounts required to be distributed by M-C Corp. are due solely to allocations of Net Profits or gain made to MCG pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i), Section 8.1(d) (provided, that all proceeds resulting from the Capital Event that are available for distribution are distributed pursuant to Section 7.1 within 5 Business Days of the Capital Event) or Section 8.1(e) (provided, that all proceeds resulting from the sale pursuant to Section 10.5 that are available for distribution are distributed pursuant to Section 10.6 within 5 Business Days of the sale); or (z) such distribution is prohibited under an applicable credit agreement or loan document to which the Company or its subsidiaries are a party, provided that all amounts that were not distributed due to this Section 9.5(d)(i)(z) are immediately distributed as soon as permissible under the applicable credit agreement or loan document;

 

23












 

(ii)           promptly deliver to MCG, following any request made by MCG from time to time, financial information demonstrating that the Company is in compliance with the REIT Requirements;

 

(iii)          deliver no later than twenty (20) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of each Fiscal Year, except for the fourth fiscal quarter, and thirty (30) days after the end of the fourth fiscal quarter of each Fiscal Year, certification that the Company is in compliance with the REIT Requirements;

 

(iv)          permit MCG to review any new leases and material modifications to existing leases (including renewals) for 2 Business Days prior to Company signing such new leases, provided that if MCG raises no issues with the lease, Company may enter into it, and MCG shall only request changes to the lease to the extent that a lease is reasonably likely to cause the Company to not comply with the requirements of Sections 9.5(a) and/or (b) of this Agreement;

 

(v)           request MCG’s permission prior to purchasing any interest in another entity or real property, provided that such permission may only be withheld by MCG if such investment would cause the Company to violate the requirements of Section 9.5(a) and/or (b) of this Agreement;

 

(vi)          request MCG’s permission before beginning to offer any new services at the Project, provided that such permission may only be withheld by MCG if offering such services was reasonably likely to cause the Company to violate the requirements of Section 9.5(a) and/or (b) of this Agreement.  In the event that providing such service would cause problems in complying with the REIT Requirements, Manager and an MCG will work together to structure offering such services under 9.5(c);

 

(vii)         request MCG’s permission before depositing or investing cash in any manner other than in US dollars in a checking or money market account at a bank, or a money market fund, in the United States, provided that such permission may only be withheld by MCG if such investment of cash would cause the Company to violate the requirements of Section 9.5(a) and/or (b) of this Agreement;

 

(viii)        request MCG’s permission prior to selling or beginning to market the Project for sale or any assets thereof prior to 2 years after the acquisition of the Project provided that such permission may only be withheld by MCG if the marketing or sale of the Project or any assets thereof was reasonably likely to cause the Company to violate the requirements of Section 9.5(a) and/or (b) of this Agreement; and

 

(ix)          restructure the offering of services at the Project in accordance with MCG’s advice, if such advice is to prevent the Company from violating the requirements of Section 9.5(a), (b) and/or (c) of this Agreement.

 

Section 27.6          Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9 or the other provisions of this Agreement, the Members agree not to do anything, or cause, permit or suffer anything to be done which is prohibited by, or contrary to, the terms of 

 

24











 

the loan documents for the Initial Financing or any other loan documents entered into by the Company or its subsidiaries in connection with the financing of the Project.

 

ARTICLE XXVIII
 TRANSFERABILITY OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS

 

Section 28.1          Transfers.

 

(a)           A Member (other than the Manager) may not withdraw or Transfer all or any part of its Membership Interest without the prior written consent of all Members; provided, that (i) any Member may Transfer its Membership Interest, in whole but not in part, to an Affiliate without the consent of the other Members (provided, that, in the case of the Keystone Investor, such Affiliate must be controlled by William Glazer or jointly by William Glazer and Marc Rash.  In addition, a merger involving M-C Corp. or M-C LP, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of M-C Corp. or M-C LP shall not be deemed a Transfer by MCG.

 

(b)           The Manager may not Transfer all or any part of its Membership Interest without the consent of all of the Members; provided, that the Manager may Transfer its Membership Interest, in whole but not in part, to an Affiliate that is controlled by William Glazer without the consent of the Members.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 10.1, no Transfer may occur without the consent of all Members if such Transfer would (i) result in the Company being treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code, (ii) violate any securities or other laws or (iii) materially increase the regulatory compliance burden on the Company or any of its Members or the Manager.

 

Section 28.2          Substitution of Assignees.

 

(a)           No assignee of the Membership Interest of any Member shall have the right to be admitted to the Company as a Member unless all of the following conditions are satisfied:

 

(i)            the fully executed and acknowledged written instrument of assignment which has been filed with the Manager and sets forth the intention of the assignor that the assignee become a Member in its place;

 

(ii)           the assignor and assignee execute and acknowledge such other instruments as the Manager and, in the case of transfers by the Manager to non-Affiliates, the other Members, may deem necessary or desirable to effect such admission, including the written acceptance and adoption by the assignee of the provisions of this Agreement and the assumption by the assignee of all obligations of the assignor under this Agreement arising from and after the date of such transfer;

 

(iii)          if requested by the Manager, counsel satisfactory to the Manager shall have provided advice (which need not be an opinion, but which must be reasonably satisfactory to the requesting party) that (A) such transaction may be effected without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or violation of applicable state 

 

25











 

securities laws, (B) the Company will not be required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as in effect at the time of rendering such opinion as a result of such transfer and (C) will not change the tax status of the Company, including, but not limited to, causing the Company to be a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code or (D) otherwise subject the Company or its Members to increased regulatory burden; and

 

(iv)          the assignee has paid all reasonable expenses incurred by the Company (including its legal fees) as a result of such transfer, the cost of the preparation, filing and publishing of any amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Organization or any amendments of filings under fictitious name registration statutes.

 

(b)           Once the above conditions have been satisfied, the assignee shall become a Member on the first day of the next following calendar month.  The Company shall, upon substitution, thereafter make all further distributions on account of the Membership Interests so assigned to the assignee for such time as the Membership Interests are transferred on its books in accordance with the above provisions.  Any person so admitted to the Company as a Member shall be subject to all provisions of this Agreement as if originally a party hereto.

 

Section 28.3          Compliance with Securities Laws.  The Members acknowledge and confirm that their respective Membership Interests constitute a security which has not been registered under any federal or state securities laws by virtue of exemptions from the registration provisions thereof and consequently cannot be sold except pursuant to appropriate registration or exemption from registration as applicable.  No Transfer or assignment of all or any part of a Membership Interest (except a Transfer upon the death, incapacity or bankruptcy of a Member to his personal representative and beneficiaries), including, without limitation, any Transfer of a right to distributions, profits and/or losses to a Person who does not become a Member, may be made unless, if requested pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iii), the Company is provided with satisfactory advice of counsel to the effect that such Transfer or assignment (a) may be effected without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (b) does not violate any applicable federal or state securities laws (including any investment suitability standards) applicable to the Company or the Members, (c) does not materially increase the regulatory burdens applicable to the Company or the Members, and (d) does not alter the Company’s status as a partnership for taxation purposes.

 

Section 28.4          Buy/Sell.

 

(a)           Either MCG, on the one hand, or the Manager and the Keystone Investor (acting together), on the other hand, shall have the right and the option to implement the buy/sell procedure as set forth in this Section 10.4 if permitted to do so under Section 9.1(e).  For the purposes of this Section 10.4, the Manager and Keystone Investor shall be considered one Member.

 

(b)           Any Member which intends to exercise its buy/sell option hereunder (the “Notifying Member”) shall first give notice of its intent to the other Member (the “Buy/Sell Notice”) which Buy/Sell Notice shall (1) contain a statement of irrevocable intent to utilize this Section 10.4, (2) contain a statement of the aggregate dollar amount which the Notifying Member is willing to pay in cash for all of the assets of the Company, free and clear of all 

 

26











 

liabilities and obligations relating thereto (the “Specified Valuation Amount”) as of the date of the Buy/Sell Notice, (3) disclose all material liabilities and potential material liabilities of the Company actually known to the Notifying Member and (4) disclose the terms and details of any discussion, offer, contract, similar agreement or documents that the Notifying Member has negotiated or discussed during the 180 days preceding the delivery of the Buy/Sell Notice with any potential purchaser or equity provider (but not debt financier) of or with respect to the Project (or any portion thereof).  The other Member, after receiving the Buy/Sell Notice (“Receiving Member”), shall have the option to either:  (A) sell its entire Membership Interest to the Notifying Member for an amount equal to the amount the Receiving Member would be entitled to receive if the Company sold all of its assets for the Specified Valuation Amount on the date of the Buy/Sell Notice and immediately thereafter the Company paid all liabilities and obligations of the Company (whether or not such liabilities and/or obligations were listed in the Buy/Sell Notice), and deducted customary closing costs (excluding brokerage fees and commissions) that would be associated with a third party sale, and, subject to Section 10.6, distributed the net proceeds and any other Company assets to each Member in liquidation of the Company pursuant to Section 11 (any disputes regarding such amounts shall be resolved by the Approved Accountants); (B) purchase the entire Membership Interest of the Notifying Member for an amount equal to the amount the Notifying Member would be entitled to receive if the Company sold all of its assets for the Specified Valuation Amount on the date of the Buy/Sell Notice and immediately thereafter the Company paid all liabilities and obligations of the Company (whether or not such liabilities and/or obligations were listed in the Buy/Sell Notice), and deducted customary closing costs that would be associated with a third party sale, and, subject to Section 10.6, distributed the net proceeds and any other Company assets to each Member in liquidation of the Company pursuant to Section 11 (any disputes regarding such amounts shall be resolved by the Approved Accountants); or (C) implement the listing procedures described in Section 10.5, in which case the additional buy/sell procedures described in the remaining provisions of this Section 10.4 shall no longer apply unless and until the buy/sell procedures are re-initiated in accordance with Sections 10.4 and 10.5.  If the Receiving Member disputes the Notifying Member’s statement of the amount payable to each Member based on the Specified Valuation Amount (there shall be no right to challenge the Specified Valuation Amount itself), it shall promptly provide notice of such dispute to the Notifying Member and to the Approved Accountants, which dispute the Approved Accountants shall resolve within thirty (30) days of the Buy/Sell Notice (which resolution shall include a written report delivered to all Members specifying the calculations and assumptions underlying such resolution, and shall be binding).  Any such dispute shall stay the time periods set forth in this Section 10.4(b) from the date on which notice of such dispute is given to the Notifying Member through and including the date on which the Approved Accountants provide a written report of the resolution of such dispute.

 

(c)           The Receiving Member shall give written notice (the “Election Notice”) to the Notifying Member of its election under Section 10.4(b) within thirty (30) days after receiving such Buy/Sell Notice (the “30 Day Period”).  If the Receiving Member does not send its Election Notice within such 30 Day Period, such Receiving Member(s) shall be deemed conclusively to have elected to sell its entire Membership Interest.  The Member obligated to purchase under this Section 10.4(c) shall fix a closing date not later than sixty (60) days following the earlier of the date of the delivery of the Election Notice and the expiration of such 30 Day Period (which period may be extended if lender approval, if required, has not been obtained by such date) and 

 

27











 

shall deposit five percent (5%) of the purchase price (the “Deposit”) in the escrow established for the closing of the sale.  At such closing, the selling Member shall Transfer to the buying Member (or the buying Member’s nominee(s)) its entire Membership Interest free and clear of all liens and competing claims and shall deliver to the buying Member (or the buying Member’s nominee(s)) such instruments of transfer and such evidence of due authorization, execution, and delivery, and of the absence of any such liens or competing claims, as the buying Member (or the buying Member’s nominee(s)) shall reasonably request.  If the Membership Interest of any Member is purchased pursuant to this Section 10.4(c), then, effective as of the closing for such purchase, the selling Member shall withdraw as a Member and, if applicable, Manager, of the Company.  In connection with any such withdrawal of the selling Member, the buying Member may cause any nominee designated in the sole and absolute discretion of the buying Member to be admitted as a substituted Member of the Company.  In addition, it shall be a condition of such sale that the purchasing Member either (i) cause the selling Member to be released from any guarantees or indemnities entered into by the selling Member in connection with the Project or other Company business pursuant to releases reasonably acceptable to the selling Member or (ii) cause a creditworthy affiliate of the purchasing Member (in the selling Member’s reasonable judgment) to indemnify and hold harmless the selling Member from and against any and all liabilities under such guarantees and indemnities occurring on or after the date of the sale pursuant to an indemnification agreement reasonably acceptable to the selling Member.  Each Member shall pay its own legal, accounting and other consultant fees and expenses in connection with consummating a transaction under this Section 10.4(c), and all other closing costs shall be allocated equally between the Members. Each Member shall pay its own legal, accounting and other consultant fees and expenses in connection with consummating a transaction under this Section 10.4(c), and all other closing costs shall be allocated 50% to the selling Member and 50% to the purchasing Member.

 

(d)           The selling Member hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the purchasing Member as its attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out and enforce the provisions of this Section 10.4 following the failure of the selling Member to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments as and when required herein, after written request to do so.  If the purchasing Member defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Section 10.4, the selling Member may, as its exclusive remedy (except for the purchasing Member’s loss of rights described below), either (i) retain the Deposit as liquidated damages or (ii) acquire the purchasing Member’s Membership Interest at a ten percent (10%) discount to the price that would otherwise have been applicable to an acquisition of such Member’s Membership Interest under this Section 10.4 and with an extra sixty (60) days (from the time of default) to make such decision, and an extra sixty (60) days (from the time of such election) to close, but otherwise on the terms described in this Section 10.4.  If the selling Member defaults, the purchasing Member may enforce its rights by specific performance (and damages incidental to a specific performance action which are allowed as part of such action as well as a dollar amount equal to the Deposit), as its exclusive remedy.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.4, the amount to be paid for the selling Member’s Membership Interest in the Company shall be adjusted as follows:  There shall be determined, as of the date of the closing: (i) the aggregate amount of all Capital Contributions made by the selling Member between the date of the Buy/Sell Notice and 

 

28











 

the date of the Closing, and (ii) the aggregate amount of all distributions of capital made to the selling Member during such period pursuant to Section 7.  If (A) the amount determined under (i) exceeds the amount determined under (ii), then the amount to be received by the selling Member shall be increased by the amount of such excess, and (B) if the amount determined under (ii) exceeds the amount determined under (i), then the amount to be received by the selling Member shall be decreased by the amount of such excess.

 

Section 28.5          Listing Procedures.  If Receiving Member in response to a Buy/Sell Notice elects to implement the listing procedures described in this Section 10.5, then promptly after the Receiving Member delivers its Election Notice (and in any event within 10 days thereafter), the Receiving Member shall provide the other Member with the names of three (3) real estate brokers that the Receiving Member would like to engage for the purpose of listing the Project for sale and the other Member shall, within seven (7) days of receiving the proposed real estate brokers, select one of the three (3) brokers to act as the listing agent for the Project.  Thereafter, the Members and the listing agent shall cooperate diligently and in good faith to effectively market the Project for sale for an aggregate purchase price no less than 103% of the Specified Valuation Amount set forth in the Buy/Sell Notice that led to the implementation of these listing procedures and otherwise on customary and reasonable terms for property sales similar to a sale of the Project (such terms to include, without limitation, customary representations and warranties, a customary survival period for representation and warranties, customary liability limits for breaches of representations and warranties, customary proration provisions and customary cost allocations) (collectively, the “Acceptable Terms”).  If, in the course of marketing the Project, the Company receives multiple purchase offers, then, except as set forth below and, otherwise, absent clear differences in the ability of the purchaser to close or in the potential post-closing liability of the Company as seller, the Company shall accept the offer that would result in the highest cash purchase price to the Company and shall thereafter diligently proceed to a closing of the sale of the Project.  Subject to the requirement to maximize the aggregate cash purchase price to the Company in accordance with the preceding terms of this Section 10.5, the Company shall not reject (and the Members are hereby conclusively deemed to have approved) any offer to purchase the Project for 103% of the Specified Valuation Amount if such offer is otherwise on Acceptable Terms.  If the Company, despite its good faith efforts, is unable, during the six (6) months following the Election Notice that triggered these listing procedures (the “Listing Period”), to enter into a purchase and sale agreement on Acceptable Terms providing for the sale of the Project for a purchase price of at least 103% of the Specified Valuation Amount, then the Members may attempt to agree upon a reduced Specified Valuation Amount for purposes of these listing procedures, or, alternatively, any Member may re-initiate the buy/sell procedures described in Section 10.4.  Under no circumstance shall a Member, or their respective Affiliates, be permitted to purchase the Project pursuant to this Section 10.5 without the prior written consent of the other Member.

 

Section 28.6          Payments / Distributions in Connection with the Buy/Sell and Listing Procedures. Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 10.4 or Section 10.5, if (i) the sale of a Member’s Membership Interest is undertaken pursuant to Section 10.4, or if the Project is sold and the proceeds of such sale are distributed pursuant to Section 10.5, and the Specified Valuation Amount would result in a Member, as selling Member (under Section 10.4), or both Members (under Section 10.5), not receiving an amount equal to at least such Member’s 

 

29











 

unreturned Capital Contributions, plus the accrued and undistributed Preferred Return thereon, then, (i) in the case of Section 10.4, the sale price will be determined as if the Specified Valuation Amount was distributed Pro Rata or, (ii) in the case of Section 10.5, distributions will be made Pro Rata.  In addition, to the extent the Company or its subsidiary must pay a  prepayment penalty or other fee or penalty as a result of the exercise of the buy/sell provisions of Section 10.4 or the listing procedures provisions of Section 10.5, the Notifying Member will be solely responsible for paying such fee or penalty.

 

ARTICLE XXIX
 TERMINATION OF THE COMPANY

 

Section 29.1          Dissolution.

 

(a)           The Company shall be dissolved upon the happening of any of the following events:

 

(i)            the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, death, resignation, withdrawal, retirement, insanity or adjudication of incompetency (collectively “Withdrawal”) of the Manager, unless the Keystone Investor elects to continue the Company and designate a substitute Manager to continue the business of the Company and such substitute Manager agrees in writing to accept such election;

 

(ii)           the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (except under circumstances where: (x) all or a portion of the purchase price is payable after the closing of the sale or other disposition; (y) the Company retains a material economic or ownership interest in the entity to which all or substantially all of its assets are transferred; or (z) the Members decide to continue the Company); or

 

(iii)          subject to Section 9.1(d), a determination by the Manager, in its reasonable discretion, that the Company should be dissolved.

 

In the event of the Manager’s Withdrawal under Section 11.1(a)(i) above or otherwise, the Manager shall be converted to a special Member which shall have the same financial interests in the Company as it had as Manager but shall have no consent rights and no right to participate in management of the Company.

 

(b)           Dissolution of the Company shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Company shall not terminate until the Company’s Certificate of Organization shall have been canceled and the assets of the Company shall have been distributed as provided below.  Notwithstanding the dissolution of the Company prior to the termination of the Company, as aforesaid, the business of the Company and the affairs of the Members, as such, shall continue to be governed by this Agreement.

 

(c)           The bankruptcy, death, dissolution, liquidation, termination or adjudication of incompetency of a Member shall not cause the termination or dissolution of the Company and the business of the Company shall continue.  Upon any such occurrence, the trustee, receiver, executor, administrator, committee, guardian or conservator of such Member (such Member’s “Successor”) shall have all the rights of such Member for the purpose of settling 

 

30











 

or managing its estate or property, subject to satisfying conditions precedent to the admission of such assignee as a substitute Member. The Transfer by such trustee, receiver, executor, administrator, committee, guardian or conservator of any Membership Interest shall be subject to all of the restrictions, hereunder to which such Transfer would have been subject if such Transfer had been made by such bankrupt, deceased, dissolved, liquidated, terminated or incompetent Member.  In the event of any other withdrawal of a Member, such Member shall only be entitled to Company distributions distributable to him but not actually paid to him prior to such withdrawal and shall not have any right to have his Membership Interest purchased or paid for.

 

Section 29.2          Liquidation.

 

(a)           Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1 above, upon dissolution of the Company, the Manager shall liquidate the assets of the Company, apply and distribute the proceeds thereof as contemplated by this Agreement and cause the cancellation of the Company’s Certificate of Organization.  As soon as possible after the dissolution of the Company, a full account of the assets and liabilities of the Company shall be taken, and a statement shall be prepared by the independent accountants then acting for the Company setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Company.  A copy of such statement shall be furnished to each of the Members within ninety (90) days after such dissolution.

(b)           Upon dissolution of the Company, the Members shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its investment, and if the Company’s assets remaining after payment and discharge of debts and liabilities of the Company, including any debts and liabilities owed to any one or more of the Members, are not sufficient to satisfy the rights of the a Member, it shall have no recourse or further right or claim against any of the other Members.

 

(c)           If any assets of the Company are to be distributed in kind (which shall require approval of (i) the Manager and (ii) all of the Members), such assets shall be distributed on the basis of the Book Value thereof and any Member entitled to any interest in such assets shall receive such interest therein as a tenant-in-common with all other Members so entitled.

Any such notice demand, approval, report or other communication may be delivered by hand, mailed by United States certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, deposited in a United States Post Office or a depository for the receipt of mail regularly maintained by the United States Post Office, or delivered by local or nationally recognized overnight courier which maintains evidence of receipt.  Any notices, demands, approvals or other communications shall be deemed given and effective when received at the address for which such party has given notice in accordance with the provisions hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice or other communication shall be deemed ineffective because of refusal of delivery to the address specified for the giving of such notice in accordance herewith.  Any notice delivered by facsimile transmission shall be as a courtesy copy only and shall not constitute notice hereunder unless agreed in writing by the receiving party.  Any notice which is intended to initiate a response period set forth in this Agreement shall be effective to do so only if it specifically references such response period and the Section of this Agreement containing such response period.  Any Member may change the address to which notices will be sent by giving notice of such change to the Company, and to other Members, in conformity with the provisions of this Section 15.2 for the giving of notice.  A notice to a party designated to receive a “copy” shall not in and of itself constitute notice to the primary notice party.

 

Section 33.3          Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws, of the State of Delaware, notwithstanding any conflict-of-law doctrines of such state or other jurisdiction to the contrary.

 

Section 33.4          Binding Nature of Agreement.  Except as otherwise provided, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Members and their personal representatives, successors and assigns.

 

Section 33.5          Validity.  In the event that all or any portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, the same shall not affect in any respect whatsoever the validity of the remainder of this Agreement.

 

Section 33.6          Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with all the exhibits, documents, instruments and materials defined herein or which are referred to herein, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understanding, inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except as herein contained.

 

Section 33.7          Indulgences, Etc.  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party hereto to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate 

 

34











 

as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or any other right, remedy, power or privilege; nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence.  No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.

 

Section 33.8          Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which together shall constitute a single contract, and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original.  This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile; any original signatures that are initially delivered by fax shall be physically delivered with reasonable promptness thereafter.  This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as the signatories.

 

Section 33.9          Interpretation.  No provision of this Agreement is to be interpreted for or against either party because that party or that party’s legal representative drafted such provision

 

Section 33.10       Access; Confidentiality.  By executing this Agreement, each Member expressly agrees, at all times during the term of the Company and thereafter and whether or not at the time a Member of the Company (a) not to issue any press release or advertisement or take any similar action concerning the Company’s business or affairs without first obtaining consent of the Manager, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (b) not to publicize detailed financial information concerning the Company and (c) not to disclose the Company’s affairs generally; provided that the foregoing shall not restrict any Member from disclosing information concerning such Member’s investment in the Company to its officers, directors, employees, agents, legal counsel, accountants, other professional advisors, limited partners, members and Affiliates, or to prospective or existing investors of such Member or its Affiliates or to prospective or existing lenders to such Member or its Affiliates.  Nothing herein shall restrict any Member from disclosing information that: (i) is in the public domain (except where such information entered the public domain in violation of this Section 15.10); (ii) was made available or becomes available to a Member on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Company; (iii) was available or becomes available to a Member on a non-confidential basis from a Person other than the Company who is not otherwise bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company or its representatives, or is not otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the Member; (iv) is developed independently by the Member; (v) is required to be disclosed by applicable law, rule or regulation (provided that prior to any such required disclosure, the disclosing party shall, to the extent possible, consult with the other Members and use best efforts to incorporate any reasonable comments of the other Members prior to such disclosure) or is necessary to be disclosed in connection with customary or required financial reporting of any Member or its Affiliates; or (vi) is expressly approved in writing by the Members.  The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of the Company.

 

Section 33.11       Equitable Relief.  The Members hereby confirm that damages at law may be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement and agree that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof, the respective rights and 

 

35











 

obligations hereunder shall be enforceable by specific performance, injunction or other equitable remedy, but, nothing herein contained is intended to, nor shall it, limit or affect any right or rights at law or by statute or otherwise of a Member aggrieved as against the other for a breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof, it being the intention by this Section 15.11 to make clear the agreement of the Members that the respective rights and obligations of the Members hereunder shall be enforceable in equity as well as at law or otherwise and that the mention herein of any particular remedy shall not preclude a Member from any other remedy it or he might have, either in law or in equity.

 

Section 33.12       Representations and Covenants by the Members.

 

(a)           Each Member represents, warrants, covenants, acknowledges and agrees that:

 

(i)            It is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, as applicable, duly organized or formed and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization or formation; it has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to acquire and hold its Membership Interest and to perform its obligations hereunder; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized.

 

(ii)           This Agreement and all agreements, instruments and documents herein provided to be executed or caused to be executed by it are duly authorized, executed and delivered by and are and will be binding and enforceable against it.

 

(iii)          Its execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder will not conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default (or any event that, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) or result in the acceleration of any obligation under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its property or assets are subject, conflict with or violate any of the provisions of its organizational documents, or violate any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, that would materially and adversely affect the performance of its duties hereunder; such Member has obtained any consent, approval, authorization or order of any governmental authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by such Member of its obligations hereunder.

 

(iv)          There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it in any court or by or before any other governmental authority that would prohibit its entry into or performance of this Agreement.

 

(v)           This Agreement is a binding agreement on the part of such Member enforceable in accordance with its terms against such Member.

 

(vi)          It has been advised to engage, and has engaged, its own counsel (whether in-house or external) and any other advisors it deems necessary and appropriate.  By reason of its business or financial experience, or by reason of the business or financial experience of its own attorneys, accountants and financial advisors (which advisors, attorneys and accountants are not Affiliates of the Company or any other Member), it is capable of evaluating 

 

36











 

the risks and merits of an investment in the Membership Interest and of protecting its own interests in connection with this investment.  Nothing in this Agreement should or may be construed to allow any Member to rely upon the advice of counsel acting for another Member or to create an attorney-client relationship between a Member and counsel for another Member.

 

(vii)         It is acquiring the Membership Interest for investment purposes for its own account only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of all or a part of the Membership Interest.

 

(viii)        It is familiar with the definition of “accredited investor” in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and it represents that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of that rule.

 

(ix)          It is not required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning ascribed to such term by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and covenants that it shall at no time while it is a Member of the Company conduct its business in a manner that requires it to register as an “investment company”.

 

(x)           (i) each Person owning a ten percent (10%) or greater interest in such Member (A) is not currently identified on the “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List” maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury (or any other similar list maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control pursuant to any authorizing statute, executive order or regulation) and (B) is not a Person with whom a citizen of the United States is prohibited to engage in transactions by any trade embargo, economic sanction, or other prohibition of U.S. law, regulation, or executive order of the President of the United States, and (ii) such Member has implemented procedures, and will consistently apply those procedures, to ensure the foregoing representations and warranties remain true and correct at all times.  This Section 15.12(a)(x) shall not apply to any Person to the extent that such Person’s interest in the Member is through either (x) a Person (other than an individual) whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange, or quoted on an automated quotation system, in the United States, or a wholly-owned subsidiary of such a Person or (y) an “employee pension benefit plan” or “pension plan” as defined in Section 3(2) of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

 

(xi)          It shall comply with all requirements of law relating to money laundering, anti-terrorism, trade embargos and economic sanctions, now or hereafter in effect and shall immediately notify the other Members in writing if it becomes aware that any of the foregoing representations, warranties or covenants are no longer true or have been breached or if the Member has a reasonable basis to believe that they may no longer be true or have been breached.

 

(xii)         No Member or its Affiliates, has dealt with any broker or finder in connection with its entering into this Agreement and shall indemnify the other Members for all costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which may arise out of a breach of the aforesaid representation and warranty.

 

37











 

(xiii)        No broker or finder has been engaged by it in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to its knowledge is in any way connected with any of such transactions.  In the event of a claim for a broker’s or finder’s fee or commission in connection herewith, then each Member shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other Member, the Company, each subsidiary, and their respective assets harmless from and against the same if it shall be based upon any statement or agreement alleged to have been made by it or its Affiliates.

 

(b)           The Manager represents and warrants to MCG that the Company was formed solely for the purpose of entering into the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and Section 4, and has incurred no costs or expenses or liability or obligations prior to the date of this Agreement and, (i) except as provided in this Agreement or another agreement between the Manager or its affiliates and MCG or its affiliates, MCG shall not be liable for any cost, expense, liability or obligation of the Company incurred prior to the date of this Agreement and (ii) the Manager and the Keystone Investor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold MCG harmless from and against any loss or liability incurred by MCG arising from a breach by the Manager of its representations and warranties made in this Section 15.12(b).

 

Section 33.13       No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no provision of this Agreement is intended to benefit any party other than the Members hereto and their successors and assigns in the Company and no provision hereof shall be enforceable by any other Person.  Without limiting the foregoing, no creditor of, or other Person doing business with, the Company or the Project shall be a beneficiary of, or have the right to enforce, any of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 33.14       Waiver of Trial by Jury.  With respect to any dispute arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any related agreement, each Member hereby irrevocably waives all rights it may have to demand a jury trial. This waiver is knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily made by the members and each Member acknowledges that none of the other Members nor any person acting on behalf of the other parties has made any  representation of fact to induce this waiver of trial by jury or in any way to modify or nullify its effect. Each Member further acknowledges that it has been represented (or has had the opportunity to be represented) in the signing of this agreement and in the making of this waiver by independent legal counsel, selected of its own free will, and that it has had the opportunity to discuss this waiver with counsel.  Each of the Members further acknowledges that it has read and understands the meaning and significations of this waiver provision.

 

Section 33.15       Taxation as Partnership.  The Members intend and agree that the Company will be treated as a partnership for United States federal, state and local income tax purposes.  Each Member and the Company agrees that it will not cause or permit the Company to: (i) be excluded from the provisions of Subchapter K of the Code, under Code Section 761, or otherwise, (ii) file the election under Regulations Section 301.7701-3 (or any successor provision) which would result in the Company being treated as an entity taxable as a corporation for federal, state or local tax purposes or (iii) do anything that would result in the Company not being treated as a “partnership” for United States federal and, as applicable, foreign, state and local income tax purposes.  Each Member and the Company shall file all tax returns and shall 

 

38











 

otherwise take all tax and financial reporting positions in a manner consistent with such treatment.

received under Section 27.1 (iv)(A) and this Section (iv)(B) the holders of the Units retain an amount equal to the amount described in Section 27.1(iv)(A). For purposes of calculating the amounts payable pursuant to clause (iv) of the preceding sentence, the amount of taxes payable by a holder of Units shall be calculated by assuming a tax rate equal to the highest combined marginal rate of federal, state and local tax applicable to an individual in the jurisdiction in which such holder of Units is a taxpayer (and if such taxpayer, either directly or indirectly, is subject to tax in more than one state or local jurisdiction, the state or local tax rate to be used in the foregoing combined marginal rate shall be the highest rate of tax in such jurisdiction) and by assuming that such individual has no tax attributes that would otherwise reduce such tax payments. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Built-in Gain” for any Exchange Property shall mean the excess, if any, of the fair market value of such Exchange Property on the Closing Date over such Exchange Property’s adjusted tax basis for federal income tax purposes on such date. MACK agrees to cooperate with Cali and CRLP regarding the calculation of the amount of actual Built-in Gain attributable to any Exchange Property recognized upon any transfer. In the event an Exchange Property is sold with the consent of William Mack (or, if he shall not be alive, his successor) prior to the Restricted Period set forth on Schedule 27.1 for such Exchange Property, then the Restricted Period for other Exchange Property (set forth in Schedule 27.1 and designated by William Mack) having an Allocated Property Value approximately equal to the Allocated Property Value of the first Exchange Property being sold shall be extended for a time period equal to the period from the date on which the sale of such Exchange Property closes to the end of the Restricted Period for such Exchange Property. The provisions of this Section 27.1 shall survive the Closing.

 

27.2                          During the Restricted Period, CRLP, Call and their Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any Permitted Assignee), may dispose of any of the Exchange Property at any time in connection with (i) the sale of all or substantially all of the properties owned by CRLP under such terms and conditions which the Board, in its sole judgment, determines to be in the best interests of Cali and its public stockholders, or (ii) a sale (including without limitation a transfer to a secured lender in lieu of foreclosure) which the Board, in its sole judgment, determines is reasonably necessary (1) to satisfy any material monetary default on any unsecured debt, judgment or liability of CRLP, Cali or any Subsidiary Partnership when they become due (at maturity or otherwise) or (2) to cure or satisfy any material monetary default on any mortgage, secured by the Exchange Property; provided, however, that no such sales will be made under clause (ii) unless CRLP is unable to settle or refinance any such debts, judgments or liabilities, or cure or satisfy any such defaults, after making commercially reasonable efforts to do so under then prevailing market conditions. In the event the Board, after CRLP has made the commercially reasonable efforts described in the preceding sentence, in its sole judgment, determines that it is reasonably necessary to dispose of any of the Exchange Property to satisfy a material monetary default on any unsecured debt, judgment or liability of CRLP when it becomes due (at maturity or otherwise), CRLP covenants and agrees that it shall treat all of its properties proportionately, including the Exchange Property, in its determination of what properties to dispose of to satisfy such material debt, judgment or liability and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any adverse tax consequences to holders of me Units and all

members of the Cali Group or the MACK Group. Such proportionate treatment shall mean that the ratio of the unencumbered fair market value of the Exchange Property that is sold over the unencumbered fair market value of the total amount of property that is sold shall be no greater than the ratio of the unencumbered fair market value of the total Exchange Property over the unencumbered fair market value of the total CRLP/Cali portfolio. In the case of any disposition of any of the Exchange Property pursuant to this Section 27.2, holders of the Units may attempt to obtain title to the Exchange Property in question so long as any equity in the Exchange Property which CRLP may otherwise be seeking to preserve is not lost or jeopardized. Moreover, in the event of an anticipated transfer of any of the Exchange Property to a secured lender in lieu of foreclosure or foreclosure, CRLP shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide holders of the Units the right to (a) cure the default including the right to loan CRLP the funds necessary to cure the default on an unsecured basis, as well as the right to limit such funds to CRLP and to receive security for any such loan from CRLP (or its appropriate affiliate) in the form of a second mortgage secured solely by such Exchange Property (but only if the lender or lenders holding any prior mortgage or mortgages on the relevant Exchange Property expressly consent in writing to the grant of the second mortgage, provided that neither such loan, whether secured or unsecured by the holders of the Units nor the granting of any such second mortgage to such holders violates any covenant in any loan agreement of CRLP or any of its affiliates); (b) acquire, for one Unit (if the value of a Unit at the time of such acquisition is not more than one-thousand ($1,000.00) dollars or, if so, then for a fraction of a Unit, such fraction’s value being equal to one-thousand ($1,000) dollars), such Exchange Property from CRLP subject to the debt or liability; or (c) permit holders of the Units to exercise CRLP’s right of redemption with respect to such Exchange Property; provided, however, that CRLP shall not have any obligation to grant holders of the Units the rights described in clauses (a) and/or (b) of this sentence until holders of the Units (whose financial position and resources as determined by CRLP using commercially reasonable standards to be satisfactory for the purpose of acting as indemnitors pursuant to this proviso) have agreed with CRLP in writing to indemnify and hold harmless CRLP, Cali and their affiliates from and against all costs (including reasonable attorneys fees), expenses, taxes (including without limitation any deed, mortgage or real estate transfer taxes), claims, judgments, liabilities or damages incurred or arising from or in connection with or attributable to or resulting from the grant or exercise of such rights, or the acquisition of such »·’ Exchange Property by holders of the Units, but only to the extent such costs would not have been incurred otherwise.

 

27.3                         After the expiration of the Restricted Period, CRLP, Cali may dispose of any of the Exchange Property at any time; provided however, that, CRLP, Cali and their Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any such sale, transfer or other disposition of the Exchange Property, or any distribution of the Exchange Property which is treated as a taxable disposition, from resulting in the recognition of Built-in-Gain by holders of the Units, and provided further that holders of the Units shall have a right of first offer as set forth in Section 27.4 below.

27.4                          In the event CRLP desires to sell or otherwise desires to dispose of, or receives an offer to purchase any of, the Exchange Property pursuant to Section 27.2 or 27.3 above, CRLP shall give notice (the “Offering Notice”) thereof to holders of the Units. The Offering Notice shall specify the nature of the sale, and the consideration and other terms upon which it intends to undertake such sale. Within thirty (30) days thereafter, holders of the Units may elect, by notice to CRLP, to purchase the Exchange Property which is the subject of the Offering Notice. If holders of the Units elect to so purchase, then such purchase shall be consummated on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Notice; provided, however, to the extent that the Exchange Property in question is then subject to separately allocated debt and the lender thereof consents to holders of the Units assuming such debt, or acquiring such Exchange Property subject to such debt, at no cost, expense or liability to CRLP (or if there is any such cost, liability or expense, holders of the Units shall have reimbursed CRLP for all such cost, liabilities or expenses and agreed in writing with CRLP to indemnify and hold harmless CRLP from and against any additional costs, liabilities or expenses arising from or in connection with or attributable to (i) such assumption, (ii) the acquisition of the Exchange Property subject to such debt or (iii) the payment of any such costs, liabilities or expenses, but only to the extent such costs would not have been incurred otherwise), CRLP will convey the Exchange Property subject to such debt Holders of the Units may use their Units as currency, in whole or in part, in connection with the purchase of any of the Exchange Property from CRLP pursuant to this Section 27.4. In addition, as part of a transfer of any Exchange Property pursuant to Section 27.2(H) (I) or (2), if holders of the Units can cause the third party which is otherwise to obtain title to any Exchange Property to accept Units, in whole or in part, in lieu of obtaining title to such Exchange Property, holders of the Units shall have the right to do so provided that such third party agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the OP Agreement and performs in accordance therewith, including, without limitation, performing the requirements pertaining to a transfer of Units (other than the need to obtain the consent of the general partner of CRLP, which consent is deemed to be given pursuant to the terms of Section 27.4); in such event, title to the Exchange Property which would otherwise have been transferred to such third party shall be transferred to holders of the Units. If within the thirty (30) day period during which holders of the Units have the right to elect to purchase the Exchange Property for sale under the Offering Notice, holders of the Units do not make the election or fail to respond to the Offering Notice, then CRLP may undertake to sell such Exchange Property on such terms and conditions as it shall elect; provided, however, that the sale of any of the Exchange Property to which this Section 27.4 applies shall not be consummated at less than 95% of the price as specified in the Offering Notice unless CRLP again offers the Exchange Property to holders of the Units upon such more favorable terms and conditions (in which case the thirty (30) day period described above shall be reduced to ten (10)). If holders of the Units notify CRLP of their intention not to purchase the Exchange Property as set forth in the revised Offering Notice, then CRLP may consummate the sale at any time thereafter, provided that such sale shall not be consummated at less than 95% of the price specified in the revised Offering Notice unless CRLP again complies with the provisions of this Section 27.4.
