Following the expiration of the Loan Assumption Feasibility Period, Seller will not enter into any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Real Property subsequent to the Close of Escrow (except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause on 30-days’ notice), without the prior consent of the Buyer, which may be withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, Buyer’s consent shall not be required for any contracts required to enable Seller to comply with the terms of the Leases, to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement or required to address any health or safety conditions at the Property.

Prior to the expiration of the Loan Assumption Feasibility Period, Seller may not enter into new leases of space in the Real Property or amendments, modifications (including terminations), expansions or renewals of the Leases without Buyer’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that with respect to the Leases set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved such Leases and Buyer’s consent shall not be required.

Buyer shall be deemed to have consented to any new lease or any Lease amendment, modification (including a termination), expansion, or renewal if it has not notified Seller specifying with particularity the matters to which Buyer reasonably objects, within five (5) business days after its receipt of Seller’s written request for consent, together with a copy of the Lease amendment, expansion, or renewal or the new lease.  At the Close of Escrow, (a) Buyer shall reimburse Seller for third party commissions, legal fees, the cost of tenant improvements, and all other leasing costs paid by Seller with respect to the New and Pending Lease Transactions listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto (to the extent such leasing costs are reflected in Schedule 1 attached hereto or otherwise approved by Buyer) and with respect to all other Lease amendments, modifications (including terminations, other than as provided in the applicable Lease), expansions or renewals or new leases that were entered into pursuant to this Section 5.3 (to the extent such leasing costs are disclosed in such new leases and/or such Lease amendments, modifications, or renewals or otherwise disclosed to Buyer in writing at the time the same are approved or deemed approved by Buyer) and, at Close of Escrow, and (b) Buyer shall assume in writing (pursuant to the Assignment of Leases and Contracts and Bill of Sale) Seller’s obligations (whether arising before or after the Closing Date) under new leases and Lease amendments, modifications (including terminations) expansions or renewals and under all New and Pending Lease Transactions.


 


5.4 Damage or Condemnation.  Risk of loss resulting from any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding which is commenced or has been threatened against the Real Property or any Improvements before the Close of Escrow, and risk of loss to the Real Property or any Improvements due to fire, flood or any other cause before the Close of Escrow, shall remain with Seller.  If, before the Close of Escrow, the Real Property, Improvements, or any portion thereof shall be materially damaged, or if the Real Property or any material portion thereof shall be subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation or shall become the subject of any proceedings, judicial, administrative or otherwise, with respect to the taking by eminent domain or condemnation, then Seller shall deliver written notice to Buyer of such event, and Buyer may elect not to acquire the Real Property by delivering written notice of such election to Seller within five (5) business days after Buyer learns of the damage or taking, in which event Buyer shall no longer be obligated to purchase, and Seller shall no longer be obligated to sell, the Real Property. If the Closing Date is within the aforesaid 5 business day period, then the Close of Escrow shall be extended to the next business day following the end of said 5 business day period.  If no such election is made, and in any event if the damage is not material, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, the purchase contemplated herein, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, shall be effected with no further adjustment, and upon the Close of Escrow, Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Buyer all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to any awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking, and Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Buyer any insurance proceeds (including business interruption (to the extent assignable) and rent loss proceeds, if any) that are payable with respect to such damage or destruction giving Buyer a credit at the Close of Escrow for any deductible under such policies.  For purposes of this Section 5.4, (a) the phrase(s) “Material damage” or “Materially damaged” means (i) damage reasonably exceeding One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), (ii) damage that results in the loss of available parking at the Property that causes the Leases or any applicable zoning laws to be violated, (iii) damage that would result in the loss of tenants whose rent exceeds $10,000 a month in the aggregate, or (iv) any damage which is not fully insured and for which Buyer will not receive at Closing, at Seller’s election, a credit in the amount of the uninsured portion of such damage, and (b) the phrase “material portion” means any portion of the Real Property that has a fair market value exceeding One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), that results in the loss of available parking at the Property or that causes the Leases or any applicable zoning laws to be violated, that would result in the loss of tenants whose rent exceed $10,000 a month in the aggregate.


 


5.5 Loan Documents.  Seller shall cooperate in good faith (at no cost, expense, liability or potential liability to Seller) and with reasonable diligence to secure the Loan Assumption Documents for Buyer’s Assumption of the Loan; provided, however, that Seller shall assume no liability whatsoever with respect to Buyer’s success or failure in securing such Loan Assumption Documents.  Seller and Buyer shall promptly provide all information that may reasonably be required in order to obtain the Loan Assumption Documents.  Buyer shall have the right to negotiate directly with Lender to obtain the Loan Assumption Documents after Seller has made the initial contact with Lender and has introduced Buyer to Lender subject to Lender’s willingness to negotiate directly with Buyer, instead of Seller.  Following the Opening of Escrow, Seller agrees to promptly (within not more than five (5) business days following the Opening of Escrow) contact, and introduce Buyer to Lender.  Concurrently with the Close of Escrow (as hereinafter defined), or as may otherwise be required by Lender, Buyer shall make all payments required in connection with the Assumption of the Loan, including, any loan assumption fee, the legal fees and due diligence costs of Lender, and the fees payable to any rating agency involved with the Assumption of the Loan.  To the extent Lender requests any deposits (for legal fees or costs) to be made with Lender in connection with its consideration of the Assumption, Buyer shall promptly make such deposits.

5.6.1 Seller shall, until the Close of Escrow, maintain insurance with respect to the Real Property, Improvements and Personal Property consistent with Seller’s ordinary course of business.


 


5.6.2 Seller shall not terminate any Lease or commence any legal action against any tenant at the Real Property so long as Rents are not more than thirty (30) days past due (provided that Seller may at any time defend any legal action that may be commenced against Seller, including without limitation, filing any counterclaim in connection therewith).


 


5.6.3 Seller shall, until the Close of Escrow, operate, manage, and maintain the Real Property, Improvements and Personal Property consistent with Seller’s existing business practice, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

PRORATIONS.







 


The Closing Date shall belong to Buyer and all prorations hereinafter provided to be made as of the Close of Escrow shall each be made as of the end of the day before the Closing Date.  In each such proration set forth below, the portion thereof applicable to periods beginning as of Close of Escrow shall be credited to Buyer or charged to Buyer as applicable and the portion thereof applicable to periods ending as of Close of Escrow shall be credited to Seller or charged to Seller as applicable.


 


10.1 Collected Rent.   All rent (including, without limitation, all base rents, additional rents and retroactive rents, and expressly excluding tenant reimbursements for Operating Costs, as hereinafter defined) and all other income (and any applicable state or local tax on rent) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Rents”) collected under Leases in effect on the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Close of Escrow.  Uncollected Rent shall not be prorated and, to the extent payable for the period prior to the Close of Escrow, shall remain the property of Seller.  Buyer shall apply Rent from tenants that are collected after the Close of Escrow first to Rents which are due to Buyer after the Close of Escrow and second to Rents which were due to Seller on or before the Close of Escrow.  Any prepaid Rents for the period following the Closing Date shall be paid over by Seller to Buyer.  Buyer will make reasonable efforts, without suit, to collect any Rents applicable to the period before the Close of Escrow including, without limitation, sending to tenants bills for the payment of past due Rents during the first six (6) month period following the Closing Date.  Seller may pursue collection of any Rents that were past due as of the Closing Date, provided that (i) Seller shall have no right to terminate any Lease or any tenant’s occupancy under any Lease in connection therewith, (ii) Seller shall not pursue tenants for delinquent rents during the first ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, and (iii) if Seller elects to file a suit against any tenant, Seller must commence such suit no earlier than the 91st day following the Closing Date and no later than the 180th day following the Closing Date.


 


10.2 Operating Costs and Additional Rent Reconciliation.  Seller, as landlord under the Leases, is currently collecting from tenants under the Leases additional rent to cover taxes, insurance, utilities (to the extent not paid directly by tenants), common area maintenance and other operating costs and expenses (collectively, “Operating Costs”) in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Real Property.  All Operating Costs shall be prorated as of the Close of Escrow.  Real estate taxes and assessments imposed by any governmental authority (“Taxes”) with respect to the Real Property for the relevant tax year in which the Real Property is being sold shall be prorated as of the Close of Escrow based upon the most recent ascertainable assessed values and estimated tax rates and based upon the number of days Buyer and Seller will have owned the Real Property during such relevant tax year.  To the extent that any additional rent (including, without limitation, estimated payments for Operating Costs) is paid by tenants to the landlord under the Leases based on an estimated payment basis (monthly, quarterly, or otherwise) for which a future reconciliation of actual Operating Costs to estimated payments is required to be performed at the end of a reconciliation period, Buyer and Seller shall make an adjustment at the Close of Escrow for the applicable reconciliation period (or periods, if the Leases do not have a common reconciliation period) based on a comparison of the actual Operating Costs  to the estimated payments at the Close of Escrow.  If, as of the Close of Escrow, Seller has received additional rent payments in excess of the amount that tenants will be required to pay, based on the actual Operating Costs as of the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall receive a credit in the amount of such excess.  If, as of the Close of Escrow, Seller has received additional rent payments that are less than the amount that tenants would be required to pay based on the actual Operating Costs as of the Close of Escrow, Seller shall receive a credit in the amount of such deficiency.  Operating Costs that are not payable by tenants either directly or reimbursable under the Leases shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer and shall be reasonably estimated by the parties if final bills are not available.


 


10.3 Tax Appeals .  If, as of the Closing Date, Seller is protesting or has notified Buyer, in writing, that it has elected to protest any Taxes for the Real Property, then Buyer agrees that Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation), after the Closing Date, to continue such protest.  In such case, any Taxes paid by Buyer after the Closing Date with respect to the Real Property shall be paid under protest and Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of any payments of Taxes made by Buyer with respect to the Real Property.  Buyer further agrees to cooperate with Seller and execute any documents requested by Seller in connection with such protest.  As to the Real Property, any tax savings received (“Tax Refunds”) for the relevant tax year under any protest, whether filed by Seller or Buyer, shall be prorated between the parties based upon the number of days, if any, Seller and Buyer respectively owned the Real Property during such relevant tax year; if such protest was filed by a Seller, any payment of Tax Refunds to Buyer shall be net of any fees and expenses payable to any third party for processing such protest, including attorneys’ fees.  Seller shall have the obligation to refund to any tenants in good standing as of the date of such Tax Refund, any portion of such Tax Refund paid to Seller which may be owing to such tenants, which payment shall be paid to Buyer within fifteen (15) business days of delivery to Seller by Buyer of written confirmation of such tenants’ entitlement to such Tax Refunds.  Buyer shall have the obligation to refund to tenants in good standing as of the date of such Tax Refund, any portion of such Tax Refund paid to it which may be owing to such tenants.  Seller and Buyer agree to notify the other in writing of any receipt of a Tax Refund within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of such Tax Refund.  To the extent either party obtains a Tax Refund, a portion of which is owed to the other party, the receiving party shall deliver the Tax Refund to the other party within fifteen (15) business days of its receipt.  If Buyer or Seller fail to pay such amount(s) to the other as and when due, such amount(s) shall bear interest from the date any such amount is due to Seller or Buyer, as applicable, until paid at the lesser of (a) twelve percent (12%) per annum and (b) the maximum amount permitted by law.  The obligations set forth herein shall survive the Close of Escrow and Buyer agrees that, as a condition to the transfer of the Property by Buyer, Buyer will cause any transferee to assume the obligations set forth herein.


 


10.4 Leasing Commissions, Tenant Improvements and Contracts.  At Close of Escrow, Buyer shall assume (pursuant to the Assignment of Leases and Contracts and Bill of Sale) the obligation to pay all (a) leasing costs that are due or become due prior to the Closing Date to the extent that the same (i) arise from a new lease or any Lease amendment, extension or expansion hereafter entered into by Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or (ii) arise out of any New and Pending Lease Transactions (including, without limitation, the commissions and/or tenant improvements referenced in Section 5.3 hereof), and (b) leasing costs that are due after the Closing Date.  Buyer will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under the Contracts.  Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that AT&T, a tenant at the Property, has requested that the $500,000 tenant allowance payable pursuant to its Lease be credited against its rent until fully paid (the “Rent Credit”) and such circumstance will affect the Property both prior to and after the Close of Escrow.  Accordingly, the Seller and Buyer agree to make the following proration adjustments at Closing in connection with the Rent Credit:  (a) first, Buyer shall pay to Seller One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) at the Close of Escrow as payment to Seller of its part of the Rent Credit (the “Buyer’s Portion”), and (b) second, Seller shall pay to Buyer at the Close of Escrow an amount equal to the Rent Credit, less any amounts credited against rent for AT&T from the Effective Date through the Close of Escrow.


 


10.5 Tenant Deposits.  All tenant security deposits for each Lease in the amount set forth on Schedule 3 attached hereto (and interest thereon if required by law or contract to be earned thereon) and not theretofore applied to tenant obligations under the Leases shall be transferred or credited to Buyer at the Close of Escrow or placed in escrow if required by law.  As of the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall assume Seller’s obligations related to tenant security deposits, but only to the extent of those tenant security deposits actually received or credited to Buyer (“Transferred Security Deposits”).  Buyer will indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from and against all demands and claims made by tenants arising out of the transfer or disposition of any Transferred Security Deposits and will reimburse Seller for all attorneys’ fees incurred or that may be incurred as a result of any such claims or demands as well as for all loss, expenses, verdicts, judgments, settlements, interest, costs and other expenses incurred or that may be incurred by Seller as a result of any such claims or demands by tenants.


 


10.6 Intentionally Omitted.


 


10.7 Owner Deposits.  Seller shall receive a credit at the Close of Escrow for all bonds, deposits, letters of credit, set aside letters or other similar items, if any, that are outstanding with respect to the Real Property that have been provided by Seller or any of its affiliates to any governmental agency, public utility, or similar entity (collectively, “Owner Deposits”) to the extent set forth on Schedule 4 attached hereto and assignable to Buyer.  To the extent any Owner Deposits are not assignable to Buyer, Buyer shall replace such Owner Deposits and obtain the release of Seller (or its affiliates) from any obligations under such Owner Deposits.  To the extent that any funds are released as a result of the termination of any Owner Deposits for which Seller did not get a credit, such funds shall be delivered to Seller immediately upon their receipt.


 


10.8 Intentionally Omitted.


 


10.9 Interest and Reserves on Deposit with Lender.  Seller shall receive at Closing, a credit for the amounts on deposit with Lender, representing reserves for taxes, water and sewer charges, insurance, reserves for tenant improvements, capital improvements, or for any other reserve or escrow held by Lender under the Loan, directly or indirectly, as of the Closing Date, to the extent, and only to the extent, transferred to Buyer concurrently with the Close of Escrow with the consent of Lender.

Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due no later than five (5) business days after the final adjustment.  Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate in preparing the Post Closing Proration and Buyer shall provide such reasonable backup documentation as may be requested by Seller with respect to same.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in this Section 10, except for any Post Closing Prorations (which must be determined and paid as provided above), all prorations made under this Section 10 shall be final as of the Close of Escrow and shall not be subject to further adjustment (whether due to an error or for any other reason) after the Close of Escrow.

(b) There is no agreement to which Seller is a party or to Seller’s Actual Knowledge binding on Seller which would prevent Seller from consummating the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.


 


(c) To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, except as disclosed on Schedule 5 attached hereto, Seller has received no written notice from any governmental agency in the last twelve (12) months that the Property or the current use and operation thereof violate any applicable federal, state or municipal law, statute, code, ordinance, rule or regulation (including those relating to environmental matters), except with respect to such violations as have been fully cured prior to the date hereof.


 


(d) To Seller's Actual Knowledge, except as disclosed on Schedule 5 attached hereto, Seller has not received written notice from any governmental agency of any currently pending condemnation proceedings relating to the Property.

Reg. 49079 (Sept. 25, 2001) or any other similar list maintained by OFAC pursuant to any authorizing statute, Executive Order or regulation; or (b) any person with whom a citizen of the United States is otherwise prohibited from engaging in transactions by any trade embargo, economic sanction or other prohibition under United States law, including but not limited to, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §1701 et seq., the Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C.

The representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement shall survive the recordation of the Deed for a period of nine (9) months and any action for a breach of Seller’s representations or warranties must be made and filed within said nine (9) month period.  If, after the Effective Date, but before the Close of Escrow, Seller becomes aware of any facts or changes in circumstances that would cause any of its representations and warranties in this Agreement to be untrue at Close of Escrow, Seller may notify Buyer in writing of such fact.  In such case, or in the event Buyer obtains information which would cause any of Seller’s representations and warranties to be untrue at Close of Escrow, Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement (except for Sections 4.3.1, 15.3 and 15.5 and such other provisions contained in this Agreement that, by their express terms, survive such termination; or (ii) accept a qualification to Seller’s representations and warranties as of the Close of Escrow and complete the purchase and sale of the Property without any rights to recovery for breach of the unqualified representation and warranty.

Accordingly,  subject to the representations and warranties of Seller expressly set forth in Section 11.1 hereof Seller’s Warranties and Seller’s obligations under Article 14 hereof, Buyer, on behalf of itself and all of its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives and affiliated entities (collectively, the “Releasors”) hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights and remedies Releasors may now or hereafter have against Seller, its successors and assigns, partners, shareholders, officers and/or directors (the “Seller Parties”), whether known or unknown, which may arise from or be related to  (a)  the physical condition, quality, quantity and state of repair of the Real Property and the prior management and operation of the Real Property, (b) the Property Information, including, without limitation, the Loan Documents, (c) the Real Property’s compliance or lack of compliance with any federal, state or local laws or regulations, and (d)  any past, present or future presence or existence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Real Property or with respect to any past, present or future violation of any rules, regulations or laws, now or hereafter enacted, regulating or governing the use, handling, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials, including, without limitation, (i)  any and all rights and remedies Releasors may now or hereafter have under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and the Toxic Substance Control Act, all as amended, and any similar state, local or federal environmental law, rule or regulation, and (ii) any and all claims, whether known or unknown, now or hereafter existing, with respect to the Real Property under Section 107 of CERCLA (42 U.S.C.A. §9607); provided, however, that Buyer is not releasing Seller from any claims arising from Seller’s fraud or intentional misrepresentations made by Seller in Section 11.1 hereof.

THE FOREGOING WAIVERS, RELEASES AND AGREEMENTS BY BUYER, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE RELEASORS, SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSE OF ESCROW AND THE RECORDATION OF THE DEED AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED MERGED INTO THE DEED UPON ITS RECORDATION.


 



	
13.  

	
DEFAULT AND DAMAGES.







 


13.1 DEFAULT BY BUYER.  BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, IN THE EVENT THE CLOSE OF ESCROW FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO A BUYER DEFAULT (ALL OF THE CONDITIONS TO BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS TO CLOSE HAVING BEEN SATISFIED OR WAIVED), SELLER WILL SUFFER DAMAGES IN AN AMOUNT WHICH WILL, DUE TO THE SPECIAL NATURE OF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SPECIAL NATURE OF THE NEGOTIATIONS WHICH PRECEDED THIS AGREEMENT, BE IMPRACTICAL OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN.  IN ADDITION, BUYER WISHES TO HAVE A LIMITATION PLACED UPON THE POTENTIAL LIABILITY OF BUYER TO SELLER IN THE EVENT THE CLOSE OF ESCROW FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO A BUYER DEFAULT, AND WISHES TO INDUCE SELLER TO WAIVE OTHER REMEDIES WHICH SELLER MAY HAVE IN THE EVENT OF A BUYER DEFAULT.  BUYER AND SELLER, AFTER DUE NEGOTIATION, HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WILL SUSTAIN IN THE EVENT OF SUCH BUYER DEFAULT.  BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY AGREE THAT SELLER MAY, IN THE EVENT THE CLOSE OF ESCROW FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO A BUYER DEFAULT, TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO BUYER AND ESCROW HOLDER, CANCEL THE ESCROW AND RECEIVE THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND ESCROW HOLDER SHALL IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER DELIVER THE DEPOSIT TO SELLER.  SUCH DELIVERY OF THE DEPOSIT TO SELLER IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY.


 


NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 13.1 SHALL (A) PREVENT OR PRECLUDE ANY RECOVERY OF ATTORNEYS’ FEES OR OTHER COSTS INCURRED BY SELLER PURSUANT TO SECTION 15.5 OR (B) IMPAIR OR LIMIT THE EFFECTIVENESS OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF BUYER CONTAINED IN SECTIONS 4.3.1 AND 14 HEREOF.  SELLER AND BUYER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 13.1 AND BY THEIR INITIALS IMMEDIATELY BELOW AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS.

13.2 Default by Seller.  If Seller defaults in its obligations to sell and convey the Property to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to elect one of the following:  (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), as supported by reasonable documentation satisfactory to Seller, incurred in connection with Buyer’s due diligence investigations and negotiation and execution of this Agreement, not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in the aggregate, or (b) to bring a suit for specific performance provided that any suit for specific performance must be brought as to the Property within 45 days of Seller’s default, Buyer’s waiving the right to bring suit at any later date to the extent permitted by law.  This Agreement confers no present right, title or interest in the Property to Buyer and Buyer agrees not to file a lis pendens or other similar notice against the Real Property except in connection with, and after, the proper filing of a suit for specific performance.


 



	
14.  

	
BROKER’S COMMISSIONS.

15.2 Assignment; Binding on Successors and Assigns.  Buyer shall not assign, transfer or convey its rights or obligations under this Agreement or with respect to the Property without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent Seller may withhold in its sole, absolute and subjective discretion; provided, however, Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement without Seller’s consent to a single entity Affiliate (as hereinafter defined), so long as (i) Buyer provides Seller with notice of such assignment at least seven (7) days before the Closing Date of its intentions to assign its rights under this Agreement to the Affiliate, which notice must be accompanied by the name of such assignee and such assignee’s signature block, (ii) the Affiliate assumes, jointly and severally, in writing Buyer’s obligations hereunder and the Affiliate agrees in writing to be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J and made a part hereof (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”), and (iii) Buyer shall not be released from its obligations hereunder.  As used in this Section 15.2, the term “Affiliate” means (a) an entity (which may not consist of more than one entity) that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Buyer, (b) any fund or entity sponsored by Buyer, or (c) an entity (which may not consist of more than one entity) at least a majority of whose economic interest is owned by Buyer; and the term “control” means the power to direct the management of such entity through voting rights, ownership or contractual obligations.  Any attempted assignment in violation of the provisions of this Section 15.2 shall be void and Buyer shall be deemed in default hereunder.  Any permitted assignments shall not relieve the assigning party from its liability under this Agreement.  Subject to the foregoing, and except as provided to the contrary herein, the terms, covenants, conditions and warranties contained herein and the powers granted hereby shall inure to the benefit of and bind all parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and all subsequent owners of the Property.


 


15.3 Work Product.  Effective upon and in the event of a termination of this Agreement for any reason, Buyer shall assign and deliver to Seller (without any representation or warranty as to such documents and at no cost to Seller), and does hereby assign without the need for any further act or instrument (without any representation or warranty as to such documents and at no cost to Seller), all reports, plans, studies, documents, written information and the like which has been generated by Buyer’s third party consultants, whether prior to the Opening of Escrow or during the period of Escrow in connection with Buyer’s proposed acquisition, development, use or sale of the Real Property (collectively, the “Work Product”).  In such event, Buyer shall deliver the Work Product which has been assigned to Seller not later than five (5) days after the date of the termination of this Agreement.  The Work Product shall be fully paid for and shall not be subject to any lien, encumbrance or claim of any kind.  Buyer shall also return all materials and information (including, without limitation, the Property Information) given to it by Seller or its consultants during Escrow, in the same condition as delivered to Buyer.


 


15.4 Further Assurances.  In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed or delivered by Seller or Buyer, Seller and Buyer hereby agree to perform, execute and deliver, or cause to be performed, executed and delivered, on the Closing Date or thereafter any and all such further acts, deeds and assurances as Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, may reasonably require in order to consummate fully the transactions contemplated hereunder.


 


15.5 Attorneys’ Fees.  If any legal action or any arbitration or other proceeding is brought or if an attorney is retained for the enforcement of this Agreement or any portion thereof, or because of any alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other reimbursement for the reasonable fees of attorneys and other costs (including court costs and witness fees) incurred by it, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.  The term “prevailing party” means the party obtaining substantially the relief sought, whether by compromise, settlement or judgment.


 


15.6 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.  Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement (a)  each of the covenants, obligations, representations, and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Close of Escrow and the execution and delivery of the Deed only for a period of nine (9) months immediately following the Closing Date, and (b) any claim based upon a misrepresentation or a breach of a warranty contained in this Agreement shall be actionable or enforceable if and only if notice of such claim is given to the party which allegedly made such misrepresentation or breached such covenant, obligation, warranty or agreement within nine (9) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, in no event shall Seller’s liability, if any, with respect to any breach of Seller’s representations or warranties hereunder exceed $750,000 in the aggregate.  Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnification provisions of Sections 4.3.1, 10.5 and 14 hereof (and such other indemnification provisions, if any, contained in this Agreement that, by their express terms, survive the termination or Close of Escrow) and the provisions of Sections 4.6, 10.1, 10.3, 10.4, 10.10, 11.1, 11.2, 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4, 13.1, 13.2, 14, 15.3, 15.4, 15.5, 15.6, 15.17, 15.20 and 15.25 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the Close of Escrow without limitation (unless a limitation is expressly included in such provision), and shall not be merged with the recording of the Deed.


 


15.7 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties in respect to the subject matter hereof, and the parties intend for the literal words of this Agreement to govern and for all prior negotiations, drafts, and other extrinsic communications, whether oral or written, to have no significance or evidentiary effect.  The parties further intend that neither this Agreement nor any of its provisions may be changed, amended, discharged, waived or otherwise modified orally except only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the party to be bound thereby.  The parties hereto fully understand and acknowledge the importance of the foregoing sentence and are aware that the law may permit subsequent oral modification of a contract notwithstanding contract language which requires that any such modification be in writing; but Buyer and Seller fully and expressly intend that the foregoing requirements as to a writing be strictly adhered to and strictly interpreted and enforced by any court which may be asked to decide the question.  Each party hereto acknowledges that this Agreement accurately reflects the agreements and understandings of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and hereby waive any claim against the other party which such party may now have or may hereafter acquire to the effect that the actual agreements and understandings of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof may not be accurately set forth in this Agreement.


 


15.8 Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas (without regard to conflicts of laws principles).


 


15.9 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Counterparts delivered by facsimile or other electronic means shall be considered originals for all purposes hereunder.

The use in this Agreement of the term “including” and related terms such as “include” shall in all cases mean “without limitation.”  All references to “days” in this Agreement shall be construed to mean calendar days unless otherwise expressly provided and all references to “business days” shall be construed to mean days on which national banks are open for business.


 


15.11 Time of Essence.  Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition, obligation and provision hereof and failure to perform timely any of the terms, conditions, obligations or provisions hereof by either party shall constitute a material breach of, and non-curable (but waivable) default under this Agreement by the parties so failing to perform.


 


15.12 Partial Validity; Severability.  If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.


 


15.13 No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and no third party is intended to, or shall have, any rights hereunder.


 


15.14 Joint Product of Parties.  This Agreement is the result of arms-length negotiations between Seller and Buyer and their respective attorneys.  Accordingly, neither party shall be deemed to be the author of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not be construed against either party.


 


15.15 Calculation of Time Periods.  Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included at, unless such last day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for national banks in Texas,  in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.  Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the last day of any period of time described herein shall be deemed to end at 5:00 p.m., California time.


 


15.16 Procedure for Indemnity.  The following provisions govern actions for indemnity under this Agreement.  Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim, such indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnitor, deliver to the indemnitor written notice thereof and the indemnitor shall have the right to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitor, if the indemnitee reasonably believes that representation of such indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  The failure of an indemnitee to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after the indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall relieve such indemnitor of liability to the indemnitee under the applicable indemnity only if and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to the indemnitor’s ability to defend such action, and the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnitor will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnitee other than under the applicable indemnity.  If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, then the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to such claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld such consent.


 


15.17 Intentionally Omitted.


 


15.18 Waiver of Jury Trial.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.


 


15.19 No Personal Liability.  Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, Seller’s liability under this Agreement shall be limited to Seller’s interest in the Property and neither (a) Seller, Seller’s constituent partners and/or members, Seller’s asset manager, Seller’s directors, employees or agents, nor (b) Buyer, Buyer’s constituent partners, directors, employees or agents, shall have any personal liability hereunder.


 


15.20 Joint and Several Liability.  If Buyer is composed of more than one individual or entity, all obligations and liabilities of Buyer under this Agreement shall be joint and several as to each of the individuals or entities who compose Buyer.


 


15.21 Intentionally Omitted.


 


15.22 Deed Restriction Notice.  If there are any deed restrictions or other covenants that affect the Property, then Seller shall prepare and give to Buyer written notice of such deed restrictions in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller and the Title Company.


 


15.23 Water Code Notice.  In the event that the Property is located in a district created under Title 4 of the Texas Water Code (General Law Districts) or by a special Act of the legislature that is providing or proposing to provide, as the district's principal function, water, sanitary sewer, drainage, and flood control or protection facilities or services, or any of these facilities or services that have been financed or are proposed to be financed with bonds of the district payable in whole or part from taxes of the district, or by imposition of a standby fee, if any, to household or commercial users, other than agricultural, irrigation, or industrial users, and which district includes less than all the territory in at least one county and which, if located within the corporate area of a city, includes less than 75 percent of the incorporated area of the city or which is located outside the corporate area of a city in whole or in substantial part, and is subject to the requirements of Section 49.452 of the Texas Water Code, then Seller shall prepare and give to Buyer the written notice that is required by Section 49.452 of the Texas Water Code.


 


15.24 Notice to Buyer.  The Texas Real Estate License Act requires that Seller notify Buyer that Buyer should either (i) have an attorney examine an abstract of title to the Property, or (ii) obtain a title insurance policy covering the Property.  Notice to that effect is, therefore, hereby given to and acknowledged by Buyer.


 


15.25 Cooperation with Buyer’s Auditors and SEC Filing Requirements .  Seller shall provide to Buyer (at Buyer’s expense and at no cost, expense, liability or potential liability to Seller) copies of, or shall provide Buyer reasonable access to, such factual information (without any representation or warranty as to such factual information) as may be reasonably requested by Buyer, and in the possession or control of Seller, or its property manager or accountants, to enable Buyer’s auditor (Deloitte & Touche LLP or any successor auditor selected by Buyer) to conduct an audit of the income statements of the Property for the year to date of the year in which the Closing occurs plus up to one additional prior calendar year.  Buyer shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs associated with this audit.  Seller shall cooperate (at no cost, expense, liability or potential liability to Seller) with Buyer’s auditor in the conduct of such audit.  In addition, Seller agrees to provide to Buyer’s auditor, if requested by such auditor, historical financial statements for the Property, including income and balance sheet data for the Property, whether required before or after Closing (without any representation or warranty as to such financial statements).  Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Buyer or its designated independent or other auditor may audit Seller’s operating statements of the Property, at Buyer’s expense, and Seller shall provide such documentation as Buyer or its auditor may reasonably request in order to complete such audit, and (ii) Seller shall furnish to Buyer such financial and other information as may be reasonably required by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to make any required filings with the SEC or other governmental authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, the foregoing obligations of Seller shall be (a) limited to providing such information or documentation as may be in the possession of Seller, its property manager or accountants, at no cost, expense, liability or potential liability to Seller, and in the format that Seller (or its property manager or accountants) have maintained such information without any representation or warranty as to such information or documentation, and (b) subject to any confidentiality restrictions set forth in any such information or documentation and shall not include any internal reporting or analysis prepared by Seller.  This provision shall survive Closing.

FIRPTA CERTIFICATE


 







__________________ (“Member”) is the sole owner of ________________ (“Seller”).  Seller, a disregarded entity for U.S. tax purposes, is the transferor of certain real property more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Property”).







Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “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 of the Code), 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 will not be required in connection with the disposition of the Property pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions dated as of ______________, 2010, by and between ___________________, a __________ (“Purchaser”) and Seller, the undersigned certifies the following on behalf of Member:







1.           Member is not a foreign corporation, foreign Company, foreign trust or foreign estate, as those terms are defined in the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder;







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







3.           Member’s U.S. employer identification number is __________, and







4.           Member’s address is:  620 Newport Center Drive, Suite 1300, Newport Beach, California 92660.







It is understood that this certificate may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service 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 the foregoing 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 Member.







Date:  ________________, 2010
