4.Title Matters; Due Diligence Review; Conditions Precedent.

 

4.1Title Matters.

 

4.1.1Title to the Property.

 

(a)As a condition to the Closing, Accord Abstract, a division of Landstar Title Agency, Inc., as agent for Fidelity National Title Insurance Company (in its capacity as title insurer, the “Title Company”) shall have committed to insure Purchaser as the fee owner of the Real Property in the amount of the Purchase Price by issuance of an ALTA owner’s title insurance policy in the standard form issued by the Title Company in the State of New York, exclusive of any endorsement thereto (the “Owner’s Policy”), subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined).  It is understood that Purchaser may request extended coverage and a number of endorsements to the Owner’s Policy. Purchaser shall satisfy itself that the Title Company will be willing to issue such extended coverage and endorsements at Closing; however, the issuance of such extended coverage and endorsements shall not be conditions to Closing for Purchaser’s benefit.

 

(b)The parties acknowledge that prior to the Effective Date, Purchaser has ordered, at its sole cost and expense, and received a commitment for an owner’s fee title insurance policy with respect to the Real Property (the “Title Commitment”), together with copies of each of the title exceptions noted therein and caused the Title Commitment, together with (to the extent available of record) copies of all instruments giving rise to any defects or exceptions to title to the Property to be delivered to Seller’s attorneys. Purchaser shall order, at its sole cost and expense, within five (5) days following the Effective Date a survey of the Property prepared by a surveyor registered in the State of New York (the “Surveyor”), certified by the Surveyor to Purchaser and Seller as having been prepared in accordance with the minimum detail requirements of the ALTA land survey requirements (the “Survey”), and shall cause the Survey to be delivered to Seller’s attorneys promptly following delivery thereof to Purchaser or Purchaser’s attorneys.  If any exceptions(s) to title to the Real Property should appear in the Title Commitment or Survey other than the Permitted  Exceptions  (such exception(s) being herein called, collectively, the “Unpermitted Exceptions”), subject to which Purchaser is unwilling to accept title, and Purchaser shall provide Seller or Seller’s attorney with written notice, which may be via e-mail to Seller’s attorney (the “Objection Notice”) thereof no later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, may undertake to eliminate the same subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.1.1.  Purchaser hereby waives any right Purchaser may have to advance, as objections to title or survey, or as grounds for Purchaser’s refusal to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transaction”), any Unpermitted Exception of which Purchaser does not timely notify Seller in the Objection Notice unless (i) such Unpermitted Exception was first raised by the Title Company or surveyor subsequent to the date of the Objection Notice, and (ii) Purchaser provides to Seller an Objection Notice within five (5) days after the Title Company notifies Purchaser of such Unpermitted Exception.  Seller shall notifY Purchaser, 

-3-

NAI-1502855506v10

 



 

in writing, within five (5) days after receipt by Seller of the applicable Objection Notice, whether or not Seller will endeavor to eliminate all or any of such Unpermitted Exceptions (“Seller’s Response”), and if Seller fails to deliver Seller’s Response on or before such date, Seller shall be deemed to have delivered a Seller’s Response electing not to endeavor to eliminate any such Unpermitted Exceptions. Seller, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, upon written notice to Purchaser prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, to adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date for up to fifteen (15) days in order to eliminate or endeavor to eliminate any Unpermitted Exception which Seller has agreed to eliminate under this Agreement or which Seller has agreed to endeavor to eliminate pursuant to Seller’s Response. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall not under any circumstance be required or obligated to eliminate any Unpermitted Exception including, without limitation, to bring any action or proceeding, to make any payments or otherwise to incur any expense in order to eliminate any Unpermitted Exception or to arrange for title insurance insuring against enforcement of such Unpermitted Exception against, or collection of the same out of, the Real Property, notwithstanding that Seller may have attempted to do so, or may have adjourned the Scheduled Closing Date for such purpose; provided, however, Seller shall (x) cause any mortgage or deed of trust placed on the Real Property to be released at Closing or assigned to Purchaser’s lender as contemplated by Section 10.23 and (y) cause the removal (by bonding or otherwise) of other monetary liens encumbering the Real Property in an amount not to exceed One Hundred Forty Thousand and 001100 Dollars ($140,000) in the aggregate, provided that such monetary lien shall not be the result of any act or omission of Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Representatives (collectively, “Mandatory Objections”).

 

(c)Except as to Mandatory Objections (which Seller will be obligated to eliminate), if Seller elects in Seller’s Response not, or is deemed to elect not, to eliminate all Unpermitted Exceptions noted in the Objection Notice, Purchaser shall have the right, as its sole remedy by delivery of written notice to Seller within five (5) Business Days following delivery or deemed delivery of Seller’s Response, to either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Seller and Escrowee or (ii) accept title to the Real Property subject to such Unpermitted Exception(s) without a reduction in, abatement of, or credit against, the Purchase Price. Except as to Mandatory Objections (which Seller will be obligated to eliminate), if Seller shall fail to eliminate all Unpermitted Exceptions that Seller elected in Seller’s Response to eliminate or endeavor to eliminate, then Seller shall notify Purchaser, in writing, of such failure on or before the Scheduled Closing Date (as the same may have been adjourned in accordance with Section 4.1.1(b)) and Purchaser shall have the right, as its sole remedy by delivery of written notice to Seller within five (5) Business Days following receipt of Seller’s notice of such failure, to either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Seller and Escrowee or (ii) accept title to the Real Property subject to such Unpermitted Exception(s) without a reduction in, abatement of, or credit against, the Purchase Price. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1.1(c), (1) Escrowee shall return the Deposit to Purchaser, including interest earned, if any, and (2) no party hereto shall have any further obligation under this Agreement except under those obligations, liabilities and provisions that expressly survive the Closing or a termination of this Agreement (collectively, the “Surviving 

-4-

NAI-1502855506v10

 



 

Obligations”). The failure of Purchaser to deliver timely any written notice of election to terminate this Agreement under this Section 4.1.1(c) shall be conclusively deemed to be an election under the applicable clause (ii) above.

 

(d)If there are any Unpermitted Exceptions noted in the Objection Notice or other liens or encumbrances that Seller is obligated or elects to eliminate under this Agreement, then Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to either (i) arrange, at Seller’s cost and expense, for affirmative title insurance or special endorsements insuring against enforcement of such liens or encumbrances against, or collection of the same out of, the Real Property, or (ii) use any portion of the Purchase Price to pay and discharge the same, either by way of payment or by alternative manner reasonably satisfactory to the Title Company, which will allow the Title Company to omit such Unpermitted Exception from the Owner’s Policy, and the same shall not be deemed to be Unpermitted Exceptions.

 

4.1.2Permitted Exceptions to Title. The Real Property shall be sold and conveyed subject to the following exceptions to title (the “Permitted Exceptions”):

 

(a)any state of facts that an accurate survey may show, provided that such additional state of facts do not materially adversely affect the use or operation of the Real Property for office purposes and further provided same do not render title to the Property uninsurable at normal market rates;

 

(b)those matters specifically set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto;

 

(c)provided same do not prevent the use of the Real Property for general office use and same are not violated by the existing improvements, all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of the United States, the State of New York, or any agency, department, commission, bureau or instrumentality of any of the foregoing having jurisdiction over the Real Property (each, a “Governmental Authority”), as the same may now exist or may be hereafter modified, supplemented or promulgated;

 

(d)all presently ex1stmg and future liens of real estate taxes or assessments and water rates, water meter charges, water frontage charges and sewer taxes, rents and charges, if any, provided that such items are not yet due and payable and are apportioned as provided in this Agreement;

 

(e)any other matter or thing affecting title to the Real Property that Purchaser shall have agreed (in writing) or be deemed to have agreed to waive as an Unpermitted Exception;

 

(f)all violations of laws, ordinances, orders, requirements or regulations of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Real Property and existing on the Closing Date, whether or not noted in the records of or issued by any Governmental Authority (“Violations”). Seller shall have no obligation to cure any Violation or otherwise remedy any 

-5-

NAI-1502855506v10

 



 

condition underlying or giving rise to any Violation, provided that at Closing Seller shall either pay, discharge or credit Purchaser (at Seller’s option) for any fines or penalties due and payable in connection with such Violations as of the Closing Date;

 

(g)all utility easements of record which do not interfere with the present use of the Real Property;

 

(h)the printed exceptions which appear in the standard form owner’s policy of the title insurance issued by the Title Company in the State of New York;

 

(i)right, lack of right or restricted right of any owner of the Real Property to construct and/or maintain (and the right of any Governmental Authority to require the removal of) any vault or vaulted area, in or under the streets, sidewalks or other areas abutting the Real Property, and any applicable licensing statute, ordinance and regulation, the terms of any license pertaining thereto and the lien of street, sidewalk or other area vault taxes, provided any such vault taxes or charges which are then due and payable are paid by Seller at Closing;

 

(j)minor variations of not more than one (1) foot in either north/south or east/west directions between the tax lot lines and the description of the Land set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, provided, however, that, to the extent same existed prior to the Effective Date, any claimed title defect based on such variations must be raised, if at all, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, all variations between the tax lot lines and the description of the Land set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, that pre-existed the Effective Date and were not raised by Purchaser in an Objection Notice, shall constitute Permitted Exceptions.

 

Under no circumstance will Mandatory Objections constitute Permitted Exceptions.

 

4.2Due Diligence Reviews.

 

4.2.1Except for title and survey matters (which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.1 above), Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on October 31,2017, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE (the period of time commencing upon the Effective Date and continuing through and including such time on such date, as the same may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.2.1, being herein called the “Due Diligence Period”) within which to perform and complete all of Purchaser’s due diligence examinations, reviews and inspections of all matters pertaining to the purchase of the Property, including, without limitation, all service contracts, and all physical, environmental and compliance matters and conditions respecting the Property (collectively, the “Investigations”), which Investigations shall at all times be subject to Purchaser’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.2.

-6-

NAI-1502855506v10

 



 

access to such service contracts, and other contracts and agreements with respect to the Property in Seller’s possession as Purchaser shall reasonably request, all upon reasonable advance written notice; provided, however, in no event shall Seller be obligated to make available (1) any document or correspondence which would be subject to the attorney-client privilege; (2) any document or item which Seller is contractually or otherwise bound to keep confidential; (3) any documents pertaining to the marketing of the Property for sale to prospective purchasers; (4) any internal memoranda, reports or assessments relating to the Property; (5) appraisals of the Property whether prepared internally by Seller or Seller’s affiliates or externally; or (6) any documents which Seller considers confidential or proprietary.

(c)fully comply with all laws applicable to the Investigations and all other activities undertaken in connection therewith;

 

(d)permit Seller to have a representative present during all Investigations undertaken hereunder;

 

(e)take all commercially reasonable actions and implement all commercially reasonable protections necessary to ensure that the Investigations and the equipment, materials, and substances generated, used or brought onto the Real Property in

If Purchaser shall fail to deliver the Termination Notice to Seller before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, then, subject to Section 4.1, Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed that the Property is acceptable to Purchaser and that it intends to proceed with the acquisition of the Property without a reduction in, or an abatement of or credit against, the Purchase Price and, thereafter, Purchaser shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.2.3.

-11-

NAI-1502855506v10

 



 

Closing Date, and (z) the fulfillment on or before the Closing Date of all other conditions precedent to Closing benefiting Purchaser specifically enumerated in this Agreement, any or all of which may be waived by Purchaser in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, while Purchaser may at its own risk attempt to obtain financing with regard to its acquisition of the Property, (i) Purchaser’s obtaining, or ability to obtain, financing for its acquisition of the Property is in no way a condition to Purchaser’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) Purchaser’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is in no way dependent or conditioned upon the availability of any financing whether generally in the marketplace or specifically in favor of Purchaser, and (iii) in no event shall the Closing be delayed on account of Purchaser’s obtaining, or ability to obtain, financing.

 

4.4Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Seller.

5.Closing.  The closing (the “Closing”) of the Transaction shall occur at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date that is fifty-five (55) days following Seller’s delivery to Purchaser of written notice (the “Vacate Notice”) of Seller’s intention to cause Tenant to vacate the Property (the “Scheduled Closing Date”) (as the same may be extended as expressly provided herein), TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE with respect to Purchaser’s obligation to close on such date, at the offices of Purchaser’s attorney or Purchaser’s lender’s attorney (the date on which the Closing shall occur being herein referred to as the “Closing Date”).

Seller and Purchaser also agree that disbursement of the Purchase Price, as adjusted by the prorations, shall not be conditioned upon the recording of any document, but rather, upon the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Closing and the irrevocable agreement by the Title Company to issue the Owner’s Policy effective as of the Closing. The Closing shall constitute approval by each party of all matters to which such party has a right of approval and a waiver of all conditions precedent.  Seller shall have no obligation to cause Tenant to vacate the Property and remove its personal property located at or in the Property prior to the Scheduled Closing Date; and Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, upon which date to deliver the Vacate Notice; provided, however, in no event shall the Scheduled Closing Date be a date (i) later than eight (8) months after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (the “Outside Date”) or (ii) earlier than two (2) months following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.

(a)All real estate taxes, water charges, sewer rents, vault charges and assessments on the Real Property shall be prorated on the basis of the fiscal year for which assessed. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the taxes on the Real Property resulting from the sale of the Real Property or from any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date.

NAI-1502855506v10

 



 

5.4.2If any of the items described in Section 5.4.1 hereof cannot be apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of information as to the amounts which are to be apportioned or otherwise, or are incorrectly apportioned at Closing or subsequent thereto, such items shall be apportioned or reapportioned, as the case may be, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date or the date such error is discovered, as applicable; provided that neither party shall have the right to request apportionment or reapportionment of any such item at any time following the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Reproration Outside Date”). If the Closing shall occur before a real estate tax rate or assessment is fixed for the tax year in which the Closing occurs, the apportionment of taxes at the Closing shall be upon the basis of the tax rate or assessment for the preceding fiscal year applied to the latest assessed valuation. Promptly after the new tax rate or assessment is fixed, the apportionment of taxes or assessments shall be recomputed and any discrepancy resulting from such recomputation and any errors or omissions in computing apportionments at Closing shall be promptly corrected and the proper party reimbursed, which obligations shall survive the Closing.

A failure by Purchaser to timely make an election under the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be an election by Purchaser to proceed with the Transaction under clause (b) aforesaid. For the purpose of this provision, a “Substantial Portion” shall be deemed to mean any damage, destruction, or taking valued at (in each case, as determined by an independent third party contractor or engineer selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Purchaser), or any condemnation award, in excess of One Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000). In the event Purchaser makes or is deemed to make an election under the aforesaid clause (b) or if less than a Substantial Portion of the Improvements or Real Property, as applicable, shall be damaged or condemned before the Closing Date, then Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s interest in all awards or other proceeds for such taking by eminent domain or condemnation or the proceeds of any insurance collected by Seller for such damage or destruction (unless such damage or destruction shall have been repaired prior to the Closing and except to the extent any such awards, proceeds or insurance are attributable to lost rents or items applicable to any period prior to the Closing), less the amount of all costs incurred by Seller in connection with the repair of such damage or destruction or collection costs of Seller respecting any awards or other proceeds for such taking by eminent

domain or condemnation or any uncollected insurance proceeds which Seller may be entitled to receive from such damage or destruction, as applicable. In connection with any assignment of awards, proceeds or insurance hereunder, Seller shall credit Purchaser with an amount equal to the applicable deductible amount under Seller’s insurance (but not more than the amount by which the cost, as of the Closing Date, to repair the damage is greater than the amount of insurance proceeds assigned to Purchaser).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall have no obligation to restore, repair or replace any portion of the Real Property or any such damage or destruction. The parties hereby waive the provisions of any statute which provides for a different outcome or treatment in the event of a casualty or a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding including, without limitation, Section 5-1311 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York.  The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the Closing or a termination of this Agreement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the foregoing shall constitute the express intent of the parties to shorten the period of limitations for bringing claims on account of Seller’s breach of its representations and warranties contained in this Section 7.1.1 if a longer period would otherwise be permitted by applicable law.

CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS UNDER 

TREASURY REGULATIONS SECTION 1.1445-2(B)

(NON-DISREGARDED ENTITY GRANTOR/TRANSFEROR)

 

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by Alarcon Holdings, Inc., a New York corporation (“Seller”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Seller:

 

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

 

2.Seller is not a disregarded entity as defined in § 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);

 

3.Seller’s U.S. employer identification number is           ; and

 

4.Seller’s office address is                     .

Seller understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by 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 Seller.
