SECTION 2.6. Independent Consideration.  Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) of the Deposit shall be paid to Seller if this Agreement is terminated for any reason (the “Independent Contract Consideration”), in addition to any other rights Seller may have hereunder.  Moreover, Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the Independent Contract Consideration has been bargained for and agreed to as additional consideration for Seller’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.  At Closing, the Independent Contract Consideration shall be applied to the Purchase Price.


 


SECTION 2.7. Escrow Agent.


 


(a) Escrow Agent shall hold and dispose of the Deposit (including the proceeds of any drawing under a Letter of Credit) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Seller and Purchaser agree that the duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder are purely ministerial in nature and shall be expressly limited to the safekeeping and disposition of the Deposit in accordance with this Agreement.  Escrow Agent shall incur no liability in connection with the safekeeping or disposition of the Deposit for any reason other than Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.  In the event that Escrow Agent shall be in doubt as to its duties or obligations with regard to the Deposit, or in the event that Escrow Agent receives conflicting instructions from Purchaser and Seller with respect to the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall not be required to disburse the Deposit and may, at its option, continue to hold the Deposit, until both Purchaser and Seller agree as to its disposition, or until a final judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction directing its disposition, or Escrow Agent may interplead the Deposit in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.


 


(b) Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any interest on the Deposit except as is actually earned, or for the loss of any interest resulting from the withdrawal of the Deposit prior to the date interest is posted thereon.


 


(c) Escrow Agent shall execute this Agreement solely for the purpose of being bound by the provisions of Sections 2.5, 2.7, 6.4(c), 7.1, and 7.2 hereof.

Subject to Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5 hereof, Purchaser hereby accepts the Title Commitment and Survey and all title exceptions set forth therein and waives any and all objections to title with respect to the Real Property existing as of the Effective Date.


 


SECTION 3.2. Title Examination.  All matters affecting title to the Property as of the Effective Date that are set forth in the Title Commitment or shown on the Survey will constitute Permitted Exceptions (as defined below) approved by Purchaser for all purposes of this Agreement, except as hereinafter provided.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller will have no obligation or duty whatsoever to cure any title exceptions or defects affecting the Property that exist of record as of the Effective Date except for Monetary Objections and the Declaration referenced in Section 5.2(n) below, which Seller shall cure (or insure, bond or endorse over) in accordance with Section 3.3(a).  For purposes of this Agreement, “Monetary Objections” shall mean (w) any mortgage, deed to secure debt, deed of trust, security interest or similar security instrument entered into by Seller encumbering all or any part of the Property (the “Mortgages”), (x) any mechanic’s, materialman’s or similar lien arising by, through and under Seller or any agent, representative or affiliate of Seller (unless resulting from any act or omission of Purchaser or any of its agents, contractors, representatives or employees or any tenant of the Property), (y) the lien of ad valorem real or personal property taxes, assessments and governmental charges affecting all or any portion of the Property which are delinquent, (z) any judgment of record against Seller in a county or other applicable jurisdiction in which the Property is located that has or could have a material adverse effect on Seller’s title to the Property and (aa) matters intentionally added in violation of Section 6.4(a)(ii) hereof.


 


SECTION 3.3. Permitted Exceptions.  The Property shall be conveyed subject to the following matters, which are hereinafter referred to as the “Permitted Exceptions”:


 


(a) those matters identified in Schedule B-2 to the Title Commitment furnished to Purchaser by Seller pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof (other than standard permitted exceptions shown in Schedule B-2 thereto and Schedule B-2 Exceptions 18, 19 and 20 (the “Expired Lease Memoranda”)) and/or filed in the public real estate records as of the effective date of the Title Commitment; provided, however, Seller will, at or prior to Closing (i) pay in full all Mortgages identified in the Title Commitment, (ii) cure (or insure, bond or endorse over) all other Monetary Objections and (iii) cause the Declaration referenced in Section 5.2(n) below to be released;


 


(b) the rights of tenants under the Leases;


 


(c) the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable as of the Closing Date, subject to adjustment as herein provided;


 


(d) local, state and federal laws, ordinances or governmental regulations, including but not limited to, building and zoning laws, ordinances and regulations, now or hereafter in effect relating to the Property; and


 


(e) items shown on the Survey.


 


SECTION 3.4. Conveyance of Title.  At Closing, Seller shall convey and transfer to Purchaser fee simple title to the Land and Improvements, by execution and delivery of the Deed (as defined in Section 5.2(a) hereof).  Evidence of delivery of such title shall be the issuance by Fidelity National Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”), of an ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) covering the Real Property pursuant to the Title Commitment in the full amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions; provided, however, that the issuance of any endorsements set forth in the Title Commitment or requested by Purchaser shall not be required to evidence delivery of such title.


 


SECTION 3.5. Pre-Closing “Gap” Title Defects.  Purchaser may, at or prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing of any objections to title first raised by the Title Company or the surveyor between the effective date of the Title Commitment and the Closing Date that have or could have a material and adverse effect on title to the Property.  Purchaser must notify Seller of any such objections within two (2) business days of Purchaser’s learning of the matters and, in any event, not later than Closing, and Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (except as to Monetary Objections), to cure such objections.  Within five (5) business days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice of objections, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing whether Seller elects to cure such objections.  If Seller elects to cure any such matters, the original scheduled date for Closing may, at Seller’s sole option, be extended by a reasonable additional time to effect such cure, but in no event shall the extension exceed fifteen (15) days after the original scheduled date for Closing.  If Seller elects not to cure any objections specified in Purchaser’s notice (other than the Monetary Objections), or if Seller is unable to effect a cure prior to the Closing (or any date to which the Closing has been adjourned), Purchaser shall have the following options: (a) to accept a conveyance of the Property subject to the Permitted Exceptions, specifically including any matter objected to by Purchaser which Seller is unwilling or unable to cure (or insure, bond or endorse over, as appropriate) other than the Monetary Objections, and without reduction of the Purchase Price; or (b) to terminate this Agreement by sending written notice thereof to Seller, and upon delivery of such notice of termination, this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except to the extent that any right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives termination of this Agreement.  If Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller does not intend to attempt to cure any such title objection (other than the Monetary Objections), or if, having commenced attempts to cure any objection, Seller later notifies Purchaser that Seller shall be unable to effect a cure thereof (other than the Monetary Objections), Purchaser shall, within two (2) business days after such notice has been given, notify Seller in writing whether Purchaser shall elect to accept the conveyance under clause (a) or to terminate this Agreement under clause (b).

REVIEW OF PROPERTY


 


SECTION 4.1. Deliveries.  Purchaser acknowledges that, prior to the Effective Date hereof, Seller has made available to Purchaser (via electronic data room, at the Property or otherwise) all of the information with respect to the Property listed in Exhibit D attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Deliveries”), and that Purchaser has had an opportunity to review said Deliveries and waives any and all objections it might have to all such Deliveries.  Seller shall cooperate in good faith with Purchaser to provide other reasonably requested documentation with respect to the Property, to the extent in Seller’s possession or reasonably available to Seller, but in all events at no cost to Seller; provided, however, in no event shall (i) Seller be required to deliver any of the Confidential Documents more particularly described in Section 4.2 hereof, or (ii) Purchaser have any right to terminate this Agreement as a result of any such requested documentation delivered after the Effective Date except as set forth in Section 5.2(f) or Section 5.8 of this Agreement.


 


SECTION 4.2. Right of Inspection.


 


(a) As used in this Agreement, the term “Inspections” means entry on the Property to conduct further due diligence and inspect, examine and test the Property subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 4.2.


 


(b) From and after the Effective Date and until the earlier to occur of termination of this Agreement or Closing, Purchaser and its agents, representatives, contractors and consultants (collectively the “Purchaser Parties”) shall, upon reasonable prior notice to Seller (which notice may be telephonic), have the right to enter upon the Property during regular business hours for the purpose of conducting such further Inspections as Purchaser may reasonably require and which are reasonably approved by Seller so long as they are conducted so as not to interfere unreasonably with the use of the Property by Seller or its tenants or with the management of the Property by Manager; provided that Seller shall have the opportunity to have one of its representatives accompany Purchaser Parties on each such entry and at any tenant interview to which Seller consents.  Any and all Inspections shall be done at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.  No Inspections shall be invasive in any respect (unless Purchaser obtains Seller’s prior written consent, which Seller may grant or withhold in its sole discretion), and in any event, the Inspections shall be conducted in accordance with standards customarily employed in the industry and in compliance with all governmental laws, rules and regulations.  Following each such entry by any of the Purchaser Parties with respect to the Inspections, Purchaser shall promptly restore, or cause to be restored, the Property substantially to its original condition as existed prior to any such Inspections.  Purchaser shall not contact any tenants of the Property without obtaining Seller’s prior written consent and shall not disrupt Seller’s or Seller’s tenants’ activities on the Property.  At Seller’s option, Purchaser will furnish to Seller copies of any reports received by Purchaser relating to any Inspections of the Property.  Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in its Inspections, but shall not be obligated to incur any liability or expense in connection therewith.  Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement as a result of any further Inspections occurring after the Effective Date.


 


(c) Purchaser agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any claim for liabilities, losses, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages or injuries arising out of or resulting from the inspection of the Property by Purchaser or the Purchaser Parties, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Seller shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.  In order further to protect Seller from any such losses, costs, expenses, damages or injuries, Purchaser agrees that it will deliver to Seller and will cause each of the Purchaser Parties to deliver to Seller, prior to their respective entry, a certificate of liability insurance, showing Seller, Manager and Seller’s investment advisor as additional insureds and complying with the coverage and policy provisions specified on the insurance schedule attached hereto as Exhibit V.


 


(d) Purchaser acknowledges that prior to the Effective Date Purchaser has been given the opportunity to make a physical inspection of the Property, including an inspection of the environmental condition thereof, and to examine the Deliveries and other documents and files concerning the leasing, maintenance, operation and financial performance of the Property, including without limitation, copies of Seller’s environmental reports with respect to the Property, but excluding Seller’s partnership and company records, internal memoranda, financial projections, budgets, appraisals, accounting and income tax records and similar proprietary, confidential or privileged information (collectively, the “Confidential Documents”) and to conduct such non-invasive physical engineering and other studies and tests on or of the Property as Purchaser deemed appropriate in its sole discretion.


 


SECTION 4.3. Environmental Reports.  PURCHASER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SELLER HAS DELIVERED TO PURCHASER, AS PART OF THE DELIVERIES DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4.1, COPIES OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS LISTED ON EXHIBIT E ATTACHED HERETO.  ANY ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS DELIVERED OR TO BE DELIVERED BY SELLER OR ITS AGENTS OR CONSULTANTS TO PURCHASER ARE BEING MADE AVAILABLE SOLELY AS AN ACCOMMODATION TO PURCHASER AND MAY NOT BE RELIED UPON BY PURCHASER IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY, EXCEPT FOR ANY REPORT THAT IS EXPRESSLY CERTIFIED TO PURCHASER BY THE CONSULTANT THROUGH AN EXECUTED RELIANCE LETTER.  PURCHASER AGREES THAT SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER FOR ANY INACCURACY IN OR OMISSION FROM ANY ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT.  PURCHASER HAS CONDUCTED, OR WILL CONDUCT PRIOR TO CLOSING, ITS OWN INVESTIGATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY TO THE EXTENT PURCHASER DEEMS SUCH AN INVESTIGATION TO BE NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE.


 


SECTION 4.4. Tenant Estoppels.


 


(a) After the Effective Date, Seller shall promptly deliver to all of the tenants at the Property a new estoppel for execution certified to Purchaser and generically to its lenders (collectively, the “Tenant Estoppels”).  The forms of Tenant Estoppels shall be in either the form required under the relevant Lease or in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T-3 (which Purchaser hereby approves), with such changes as are reasonably approved by Purchaser.  Seller shall deliver to Purchaser copies of all executed Tenant Estoppels received after the Effective Date.


 


(b) Each such Tenant Estoppel shall be deemed satisfactory if executed by the tenant in substantially the form as submitted or in substantially the form required by such tenant’s Lease dated no more than forty-five (45) days before Closing, without identifying any uncured defaults of the landlord thereunder, any economic deviation or other material deviation from the information contained on the form submitted, any modification or addition that is materially adverse to Purchaser, any default under the affected Lease, any condition which with notice and the passage of time would constitute a default under the affected Lease, or a material adverse discrepancy between the information set forth in this Agreement or the Deliveries, including the Leases; provided, however, that the following two exceptions shall apply.  First, any estoppel disclosing a default shall nonetheless satisfy the requirements of this Section 4.4 if Seller agrees to cure such default prior to Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser.  Second, any estoppel from Dorsey or Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. disclosing an operating expense reconciliation audit or any issue related thereto shall nonetheless satisfy the requirement of this Section 4.4, subject to the following:


 


(i) Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has delivered to Purchaser as part of the Deliveries relevant correspondence received or sent by Seller or its Manager with respect to certain operating expense reconciliation audits by Dorsey and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. under their respective Leases and Purchaser has discussed these operating expense reconciliation audits with Manager;


 


(ii) Manager is related to the Purchaser and served as the Manager of the Property during the period of Seller’s ownership of the Property;


 


(iii) any issue identified by Dorsey or Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. relating to such operating expense reconciliation audits and described in the respective Tenant Estoppel or otherwise shall not affect the acceptance and approval of such Tenant Estoppel by Purchaser hereunder or otherwise constitute a failure of a Purchaser’s condition or give Purchaser the right to terminate this Agreement (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary);


 


(iv) Seller, Purchaser and Manager believe, and Seller and Manager have asserted, that no adjustments or payments are due Dorsey or Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. resulting from such operating expense reconciliations audits, with the response of Seller and Manager outlined in the letters which are part of the Deliveries;


 


(v) Purchaser will cause Manager to cooperate with Seller after the Closing, without payment of any additional fee by Seller to Manager, in connection with such operating expense reconciliation audits and the resolution thereof;


 


(vi) Seller shall be responsible and liable for the continued processing and resolution of such operating expense reconciliation audits for the periods covered thereby and will keep Purchaser informed of the status thereof;


 


(vii) Seller shall pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such operating expense reconciliation audits and pay to the respective tenant (Dorsey or Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as the case may be) the amount, if any, determined or agreed by Seller to be due to such respective tenant in connection with such operating expense reconciliation audit for the period covered thereby; and


 


(viii) the provisions of this Section 4.4(b)(i)-(viii) shall survive the Closing indefinitely and not be subject to the limitations in Sections 6.3 and 11.19 hereof, and any payment or liability of Seller under this Section 4.4(b)(i)-(viii) hereof shall not be subject to or reduce the Cap described in Sections 6.3 and 11.19 hereof (notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.3 and 11.19 hereof to the contrary).


 


(c) Seller will make diligent efforts to obtain a Tenant Estoppel from all tenants; provided, however, Seller shall only be required, as a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close the transaction contemplated hereunder, to deliver on or before Closing Tenant Estoppels for the Major Tenants and such other tenants that, together with the Major Tenants, lease seventy-five percent (75%) of the Improvements (the “Required Tenant Estoppels”) on or before Closing in substantially the forms attached hereto as Exhibit T-1 and T-2 as to the Major Tenants (which Purchaser hereby approves) and Exhibit T-3 as to the other tenants or in substantially the forms required by the Leases for the Major Tenants and such other tenants and satisfying the requirements of this Section 4.4.  In the event that Seller fails to deliver on or before Closing the Required Tenant Estoppels, then Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to such failure will be to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit will be refunded in full to Purchaser and thereupon this Agreement will be null and void and of no further force and effect whatsoever and neither party shall thereafter have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for any indemnity obligations of either party pursuant to this Agreement or any other provision which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement.


 


SECTION 4.5. SNDAS.  Seller will deliver to the tenants and cooperate reasonably with Purchaser (at no cost or expense to Seller) to obtain subordination, non-disturbance, and attainment agreements in the form and from the tenants requested by Purchaser; provided, however, that obtaining such agreements shall not be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close.

SECTION 5.1. Time and Place.  The consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall be held at the offices of Escrow Agent on November 4, 2010, or such earlier date as the parties shall mutually agree (the “Closing Date”).  At the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall perform their respective obligations set forth in Section 5.2 and Section 5.3 hereof and elsewhere in this Agreement, the performance of which shall be concurrent conditions; provided that the Deed shall not be recorded until Seller receives confirmation that the Escrow Agent has authority to transfer the full amount of the Purchase Price, adjusted by prorations as set forth herein, to Seller upon receipt of Seller’s instruction to record the Deed.  The Closing shall be consummated through an escrow administered by Escrow Agent so that it will not be necessary for any party to attend, and the Purchase Price and all documents shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent as escrowee.


 


SECTION 5.2. Seller’s Obligations at Closing.  At Closing, Seller shall:


 


(a) execute and deliver to Purchaser a duly executed limited warranty deed (the “Deed”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, conveying the Land and Improvements, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions; the warranty of title in the Deed will be only as to claims made by, through or under Seller and not otherwise;


 


(b) execute and deliver to Purchaser a duly executed bill of sale (the “Bill of Sale”) conveying the Personal Property without warranty of title or use and without warranty, express or implied, as to merchantability and fitness for any purpose and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I;

(d) to the extent assignable, assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall assume Seller’s interest in the Operating Agreements and the other Intangibles by duly executed assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assignment of Contracts”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K pursuant to which Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims pertaining thereto arising from and after the Closing; provided, however, if any such Operating Agreements are terminable, Seller shall, upon Purchaser’s direction prior to the Closing, deliver a notice of termination on the Closing Date, provided Purchaser shall be responsible for any termination or similar fee payable in connection with such termination;


 


(e) join with Purchaser to execute a notice (the “Tenant Notice”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L) that Purchaser shall send to each tenant under each of the Leases promptly after the Closing, informing such tenant of the sale of the Property and of the assignment to Purchaser of Seller’s interest in, and obligations under, the Leases (including, if applicable, any Security Deposits), and directing that all Rent and other sums payable after the Closing under each such Lease be paid as set forth in the notice;


 


(f) deliver to Purchaser an executed certificate of Seller, dated as of the Closing and executed on behalf of Seller by a duly authorized officer thereof, certifying that the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 6.1 are true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the Closing, or, in the event that any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in Section 6.1 hereof needs to be modified due to changes since the Effective Date, deliver to Purchaser such a certificate, identifying any representation or warranty which is not, or no longer is, true and correct and explaining the state of facts giving rise to the change.  In no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for, or be deemed to be in default hereunder, or shall Purchaser have the right to terminate this Agreement by reason of, any breach of representation or warranty which results from any change that (i) occurs between the Effective Date and the Closing Date and (ii) is either expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement or as is beyond the reasonable control of Seller to prevent.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (X) Seller does not represent or warrant that a particular Lease will be in force and effect at Closing or that tenants under the Leases will have performed their obligations thereunder, and (Y) the same shall not be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close hereunder, except to the extent provided in Section 4.4 and Section 5.6(a) as to Required Tenant Estoppels, Section 5.6(c) as to bankruptcy proceedings, and Sections 8.1 and 8.2 as to a Major loss or damage.  If, and only if, a breach of a representation or warranty by Seller (i) is not permitted hereunder or is not beyond the reasonable control of Seller to prevent and (ii) is materially adverse to Purchaser, shall such breach constitute the non-fulfillment of the condition set forth in Section 5.6(b) hereof; if, despite changes or other matters described in such certificate, the Closing occurs, Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been modified by all statements made in such certificate;

(f) execute and deliver the Closing Statement;


 


(g) execute and deliver any returns, questionnaires and other documents as shall be required pursuant to Section 5.5(a) hereof;


 


(h) execute and deliver the Certificate and Release; and


 


(i) deliver such additional documents as shall be reasonably required by the Title Company or Seller to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.


 


SECTION 5.4. Credits and Prorations.


 


(a) All income and expenses of the Property shall be apportioned as of 11:59 p.m. on the day prior to the Closing Date, as if Purchaser were vested with title to the Property during the entire day on which the Closing occurs.  Such prorated items shall include, without limitation, the following:


 


(i) all Rents, if any, as and when collected;


 


(ii) taxes and assessments levied against the Property (including personal property taxes on the Personal Property) in accordance with Section 5.4(b)(ii) below;


 


(iii) utility charges for which Seller is liable, if any, such charges to be apportioned at Closing on the basis of the most recent meter reading occurring prior to Closing (dated not more than fifteen (15) days prior to Closing) or, if unmetered, on the basis of a current bill for each such utility;


 


(iv) all amounts payable under the Operating Agreements which are assigned to Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.2(d); and


 


(v) any other operating expenses or other items due and payable pertaining to the Property which are customarily prorated between a purchaser and a seller in the county in which the Project is located.


 


(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 5.4(a) hereof:


 


(i) At Closing, (A) Seller shall credit to the account of Purchaser the amount of all cash Security Deposits (to the extent such Security Deposits have not been applied against delinquent Rents or otherwise as provided in the Leases) and interest accrued thereon, to the extent that either the Leases or applicable law requires that the same bear interest, and (B) Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain such refundable cash and deposits.  With respect to those Leases for which Seller is holding letters of credit as security deposits, Seller shall deliver such letters of credit to Purchaser at Closing so that Purchaser and the applicable tenants can arrange to have the letters of credit reissued in favor of, or endorsed to, Purchaser.  Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser post-Closing in connection with the reissuance or endorsement of any letters of credit and act at the reasonable discretion of Purchaser with respect thereto, until the letters of credit are re-issued or endorsed to Purchaser;


 


(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Purchaser acknowledges that only real estate taxes and assessments (“Minnesota Real Estate Taxes”) for calendar year 2009, which are payable in 2010, are being prorated hereunder, and no proration is being made for 2010 Minnesota Real Estate Taxes payable in 2011.  Seller shall be responsible for 2009 Minnesota Real Estate Taxes corresponding to the number of days between January 1, 2010 and the Closing Date.  Seller has paid the first estimated installment of 2009 Minnesota Real Estate Taxes due May 15, 2010, and shall be responsible for the payment of the second installment of 2009 Minnesota Real Estate Taxes payable on or before October 15, 2010.  Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of the 2010 Minnesota Real Estate Taxes payable in 2011 and will receive a charge at Closing for the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 2010.  If the final tax bill for the 2009 Minnesota Real Estate Taxes payable in 2010 has not been issued as of Closing, the proration of Minnesota Real Estate Taxes hereunder shall be reasonably estimated based on the 2008 Minnesota Real Estate Taxes paid in 2009.  To the extent that the actual 2009 Minnesota Real Estate Taxes differ from the 2008 amount on which the proration was based, Seller and Purchaser agree to reprorate such 2009 Minnesota Real Estate Taxes within thirty (30) days of receipt of the actual tax bill applicable to such period.  Any additional taxes (i.e., other than general real estate taxes) relating to the year of Closing or prior years arising out of a change in the use of the Land or the Improvements by Purchaser or a change in ownership will be assumed by Purchaser effective as of Closing and paid by Purchaser when due and payable, and Purchaser will indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless for, from, and against any and all such taxes, which indemnification obligation will survive the Closing, provided that the foregoing shall have no effect on the proration of Minnesota Real Estate Taxes as described above.  When the amount of such taxes is finally ascertained, any further adjustment will be promptly made between the parties in cash.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller will not be liable for any taxes to the extent that reimbursement of such taxes is payable by a Tenant under a Lease;


 


 


(iii) Seller shall be responsible for the payment of only those Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions that are identified as “Seller’s Responsibility” on Exhibit F attached hereto.

Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at Closing true and correct copies of all Prospect Lists.  If, as of the Closing Date, Seller shall have paid any Tenant Inducement Costs or leasing commissions for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for a prorated portion (based on each party’s respective period of ownership of the Property as compared to the demised term of such Lease) of such Tenant Inducement Costs at Closing.  For purposes hereof, the term “Tenant Inducement Costs” shall mean any out-of-pocket payments required to be paid by the landlord under a Lease (including reasonable legal fees directly related to the Lease) to or for the benefit of the tenant thereunder which is in the nature of a tenant inducement, including specifically, without limitation, tenant improvement construction costs, tenant improvement allowances and other tenant improvement costs, lease buyout costs, and moving, design, refurbishment and club membership allowances.

Seller and Purchaser agree that all Rent received by Seller or Purchaser from and after the Closing Date shall be applied first, to Rents that become due and payable after Closing, and second, to those which were due and payable prior to Closing, in reverse order of maturity.  Purchaser will make a good faith effort after Closing to collect all Rents in the usual course of Purchaser’s operation of the Property for a period of nine (9) months, but Purchaser will not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or seek to evict any tenant or terminate any lease to collect delinquent Rents.  Seller may attempt to collect any delinquent Rents owed Seller and may institute any lawsuit or collection procedures, but may not evict or seek to evict any tenant or terminate or seek to terminate any Lease.


 


(v) If the annual reconciliation of tenant pass-throughs under the Leases for the 2010 calendar year results in there being amounts due and payable by the tenants, Purchaser will collect such amounts and pay same over to Seller promptly upon Purchaser’s receipt (but in no event later than one (1) year after Closing) the portion of such amounts attributable to Seller’s period of ownership of the Property in 2010.  If such reconciliation results in there being refunds due and payable to tenants on account of the pass-through of specifically designated expenses incurred during Seller’s period of ownership, Seller will pay to Purchaser the portion of any such documented pass-through expenses attributable to Seller’s period of ownership of the Property in 2010, promptly upon receipt of a written request therefor from Purchaser (which shall in no event be delivered later than one (1) year after Closing), whereupon Purchaser will promptly disburse the appropriate refunds to the tenants.  In the event that there shall be any Rents or other charges under any Leases which, although relating to a period prior to Closing, do not become due and payable until after Closing, or are paid prior to Closing but are subject to adjustment after Closing (such as year end common area expense reimbursements and the like), then any Rents or charges of such type received by Purchaser or its agents subsequent to Closing shall, to the extent applicable to a period extending through the Closing, be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of Closing and Seller’s portion thereof shall be paid to Seller by Purchaser at Closing.


 


(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, any revenue or expense amount which cannot be ascertained with certainty as of Closing shall be prorated on the basis of the parties’ good faith reasonable estimate of such amount, and shall be the subject of a final proration one hundred eighty (180) days after Closing, as soon thereafter as the precise amounts can be ascertained, or as otherwise provided in this Section 5.4.  Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller when it becomes aware that any such estimated amount has been ascertained.  Once all revenue and expense amounts have been ascertained, Purchaser shall prepare, and certify as correct, a final proration statement which shall be subject to Seller’s approval.  Upon Seller’s acceptance and approval of any final proration statement submitted by Purchaser, such statement shall be conclusively deemed to be accurate and final.


 


(d) Seller may prosecute appeals (if any) of the real estate taxes and assessments for the period prior to the Closing, and may take related action which Seller deems appropriate in connection therewith.  Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller in connection with such appeal and collection of a refund of real estate taxes and assessments paid.  Seller owns and holds all right, title and interest in and to such appeals and refund, and all amounts payable in connection therewith shall be paid directly to Seller by the applicable authorities.  If such refund or any part thereof is received by Purchaser, Purchaser shall promptly pay such amount to Seller.  Any refund received by Seller shall be distributed as follows:  first, to reimburse Seller for all costs incurred in connection with the appeal; second, with respect to refunds payable to tenants under the Leases, to such tenants in accordance with the terms of such Leases; and third, to Seller to the extent such appeal covers the period prior to the Closing, and to Purchaser to the extent such appeal covers the period as of the Closing and thereafter.  If and to the extent any such appeal covers the period after the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to participate in such appeal and approve the settlement or prosecution thereof.

SECTION 6.4. Covenants of Seller.  Seller hereby covenants with Purchaser as follows:


 


(a) From the Effective Date hereof until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, (i) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to operate and maintain the Property in a manner generally consistent with the manner in which Seller has operated and maintained the Property prior to the Effective Date and (ii) Seller shall not intentionally execute and record any documents in the real property records which result in any liens or other encumbrances on the Property which are not released prior to Closing.


 


(b) A copy of any amendment, renewal or expansion of an existing Lease, any term sheet for a new Lease or any new Lease that Seller wishes to execute between the Effective Date and the Closing Date (each, a “Proposed Lease Transaction”) will be submitted to Purchaser prior to execution by Seller.  Seller shall not enter into, amend, modify or terminate a Lease without Purchaser’s approval.  Seller shall follow the following procedure with respect to each Proposed Lease Transaction:  (1) Seller shall seek Purchaser’s prior written approval to the Proposed Lease Transaction; (2) if Purchaser disapproves of the Proposed Lease Transaction, then Purchaser shall set forth in the disapproval notice delivered to Seller the specific objections of Purchaser; and (3) if Purchaser fails to grant its approval or give notice of its disapproval of the Proposed Lease Transaction within five (5) business days after receipt of a copy of said document, together with a request for such approval, then it shall be deemed an approval of said document in the form presented to Purchaser for review.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4, Purchaser shall have no right to approve any Proposed Lease Transaction the documentation of which is in Material Conformance with the Pending Renewals/Expansions or a term sheet that was approved by Purchaser pursuant to the above-described procedure.  “Material Conformance” means that the economic terms of a Proposed Lease Transaction materially conform to those set forth in Exhibit W or the approved term sheet and that the Proposed Lease Transaction contains no other terms or provisions which materially deviate from what is customary for the leasing of office space in the Minneapolis, Minnesota metropolitan area.  At Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for any Tenant Inducement Costs, leasing commissions or other expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred by Seller in connection with any Proposed Lease Transaction executed by Seller between the Effective Date and Closing or executed by Purchaser after Closing and assume all post-Closing obligations with respect to such Proposed Lease Transaction.  Any amendment to an approved Proposed Lease Transaction shall be deemed a “Proposed Lease Transaction” for the purpose of this Section 6.4(b).


 


(c) Prior to Closing, Seller intends to file a Form 8288-B, FIRPTA Withholding Certificate (the “FIRPTA Certificate”) in the form required by the Internal Revenue Service, a copy of which shall be provided to Purchaser.  The FIRPTA Certificate will indicate the taxable gain, if any, that Seller will recognize upon the sale of the Property to Purchaser and the tax liability amount required to be paid to the Internal Revenue Service in connection therewith (the “Certificate Tax Amount”).  Pursuant to Section 4.01 of Revenue Procedure 2000-35, 2000-2 CB 211 (August 9, 2000) and the filing of such FIRPTA Certificate with the Internal Revenue Service prior to the date of sale, Purchaser is required to withhold from the sales proceeds ten percent (10%) of the gross sales proceeds derived from the sale of the Property, but is not required to pay such withheld amounts to the Internal Revenue Service pending approval of the FIRPTA Certificate by the Internal Revenue Service.  Accordingly, Seller and Purchaser agree that Purchaser shall withhold ten percent (10%) of the gross sales proceeds (the “Escrowed Funds”), from the Purchase Price and pay the Escrowed Funds to Escrow Agent, acting as withholding escrow agent (“Withholding Escrow Agent”) to hold pending approval of the FIRPTA Certificate by the Internal Revenue Service.  Upon such approval of the FIRPTA Certificate, Seller and Purchaser shall direct Withholding Escrow Agent to apply the Escrowed Funds to pay such approved tax liability (the “Final Tax Liability”) within twenty (20) days after such approval.  If the Final Tax Liability is greater than the Escrowed Funds, then Seller shall promptly pay such deficiency to the Withholding Escrow Agent for payment to the Internal Revenue Service.  If the Final Tax Liability is less than the Escrowed Funds, then the Withholding Agent shall promptly pay the excess to Seller, together with the interest or income earned on the Escrowed Funds.  It is anticipated that the Final Tax Liability will equal the Certificate Tax Amount.  Seller shall file or cause to be filed any and all tax returns, information returns or any other required filings in connection with the transfer on or before the due date of such returns with the Internal Revenue Service and timely pay any and all tax liabilities associated therewith.  Seller hereby agrees to hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, interest and penalties) incurred or realized by Purchaser and relating to the payment to the Internal Revenue Service of any such withholding tax due upon the sale of the Property by Seller to Purchaser.  Each of Seller and Purchaser agrees to execute and deliver at the Closing an escrow agreement with Withholding Escrow Agent that reflects the provisions of this Section 6.4(c) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Q (the “Withholding Escrow Agreement”).  Such escrow agreement shall provide for the investment of the Escrowed Funds in designated investments or accounts available to the Withholding Escrow Agent and approved by Seller, and all interest or other income earned thereon shall be added to and deemed a part of the Escrowed Funds.  Seller will pay all reasonable costs and expenses relating to the escrow account established pursuant to this Section 6.4(c).  In the event that the FIRPTA Certificate is not filed in accordance with this Section 6.4(c) prior to Closing, Purchaser shall withhold ten percent (10%) of the gross sales proceeds from the Purchase Price and remit such amount to the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with its obligations set forth in Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code.  In addition, if at any time Purchaser believes that it is required by applicable law to deliver the Escrowed Funds to the Internal Revenue Service, Purchaser shall have the authority to instruct the Withholding Escrow Agent to pay the Escrowed Funds to the Internal Revenue Service; provided, however, prior to giving any such instruction to the Withholding Escrow Agent, Purchaser shall give not less than five (5) days prior notice to Seller of its intent to so instruct the Withholding Escrow Agent and shall discuss in good faith with Seller its position prior to giving such instruction.


 


SECTION 6.5. Representations and Warranties of Purchaser.  Purchaser hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Seller as of the Effective Date, which representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been made again as of the Closing, subject to Section 5.3(b) hereof:


 


(a) Organization and Authority.  Purchaser has been duly organized and is validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Purchaser has the full right and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate or cause to be consummated the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.  The person or persons signing this Agreement on behalf of Purchaser are authorized to do so.


 


(b) Pending Actions.  To Purchaser’s knowledge, there is no action, suit, arbitration, unsatisfied order or judgment, government investigation or proceeding pending against Purchaser which, if adversely determined, could individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.


 


(c) Compliance with International Trade Control Laws and OFAC Regulations.


 


(i) Purchaser is not now nor shall it be at any time until Closing a Person with whom a U.S. Person is prohibited from transacting business of the type contemplated by this Agreement, whether such prohibition arises under United States law, regulation, executive orders and lists published by OFAC (including those executive orders and lists published by OFAC with respect to Persons that have been designated by executive order or by the sanction regulations of OFAC as Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons) or otherwise.


 


(ii) Neither Purchaser nor to Purchaser’s knowledge any Person who owns a ten percent (10%) or greater interest in Purchaser (collectively, a “Purchaser Party”) is now nor shall be at any time until Closing a Person with whom a U.S. Person, including a Financial Institution, is prohibited from transacting business of the type contemplated by this Agreement, whether such prohibition arises under United States law, regulation, executive orders and lists published by the OFAC (including those executive orders and lists published by OFAC with respect to Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons) or otherwise.


 


(iii) Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that if Purchaser obtains knowledge that any of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 6.5(c) is or becomes false, then Purchaser will immediately notify Seller in writing, and in such event, Seller will have the right to terminate this Agreement without penalty or liability to Seller immediately upon delivery of written notice thereof to Purchaser, in which event the Deposit will promptly be returned to Purchaser and neither party will have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for such as specifically survive termination.


 


SECTION 6.6. Survival of Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in Section 6.5 hereof shall survive Closing.

DEFAULT


 


SECTION 7.1. Default by Purchaser.  If Purchaser defaults and fails to consummate this Agreement, for any reason other than Seller’s default or the permitted termination of this Agreement by either Seller or Purchaser as herein expressly provided, Seller shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy to cancel this Agreement pursuant to Minnesota Statutes § 559.21 and receive the Deposit.  The parties acknowledge that Seller’s damages in such event would be difficult to determine, so Seller shall receive as liquidated damages and not as a penalty the Deposit, which Escrow Agent is hereby instructed to deliver to Seller in accordance with Minnesota Statutes § 559.21 if Seller does cancel this Agreement, it being agreed between the parties hereto that: (i) it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to fix or establish actual damages of Seller in the event of a default hereunder by Purchaser and (ii) the amount of the Deposit is the parties’ best and most reasonable and fair estimate of Seller’s damages in the event of Purchaser’s default.  Nothing contained in this Agreement, however, will limit, restrict or impair the liability of Purchaser under any indemnity provided by Purchaser under this Agreement, or under Section 11.16 of this Agreement, or under any of the documents and instruments executed and delivered to Seller pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof.


 


SECTION 7.2. Default by Seller.  In the event the sale of the Property as contemplated hereunder is not consummated due to Seller’s default hereunder, and Purchaser is not in default under this Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, either (a) to cancel this Agreement and receive the return of the Deposit, which Escrow Agent is hereby instructed to deliver to Purchaser if Purchaser does cancel this Agreement, together with its documented direct costs and expenses incurred in connection with its inspection of the Property and negotiations of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement not to exceed $50,000.00, which return shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller from any and all liability hereunder, or (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement.  Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek monetary damages in the event of Seller’s default hereunder, except as provided above.  Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive back the Deposit as provided above 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 ninety (90) days following the date upon which Closing was to have occurred.  Nothing contained in this Section 7.2 shall limit, restrict or impair Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement or under any of the documents and instruments executed and delivered to Purchaser pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof for any and all claims Purchaser shall have from and after Closing or that survive Closing.


 


SECTION 7.3. Recoverable Damages.  Notwithstanding Sections 7.1 and 7.2 hereof, in no event shall the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 limit the damages recoverable by either party against the other party due to the other party’s obligation to indemnify such party in accordance with Sections 4.2, 6.3, 6.4, and 9.1 of this Agreement.


 


 


ARTICLE VIII


 


 


 


RISK OF LOSS


 


SECTION 8.1. Minor Damage.  In the event of loss or damage to or any condemnation of the Property, or any portion thereof, which is not “Major” (as hereinafter defined), this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, provided Seller performs any necessary repairs or, at Seller’s option, assigns to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards.  Seller agrees to maintain the insurance currently in place with respect to the Property during the term of this Agreement.  In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly, and the date of Closing shall be extended for a reasonable time (not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days) in order to allow for the completion of such repairs.  If Seller elects to assign a casualty claim to Purchaser, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy or the cost of such repairs as determined in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof.  Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Purchaser.


 


SECTION 8.2. Major Damage.  In the event of a “Major” loss or damage, as provided in Section 8.3 hereof, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser thereof and Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice from Seller.  If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) days after Seller sends Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of such Major loss or damage (which notice shall state the cost of repair or restoration thereof as opined by an architect in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof ), then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Property, in which event Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any related casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy or the cost of such repairs as determined in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof.


 


SECTION 8.3. Definition of “Major” Loss or Damage.  For purposes of Sections 8.1 and 8.2, “Major” loss or damage refers to the following: (a) loss or damage to the Property such that the cost of repairing or restoring the Property to substantially the same condition which existed prior to the event of damage would be, in the opinion of an architect selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Purchaser, equal to or greater than $9,000,000.00, (b) any loss due to a condemnation which permanently and materially impairs the current use of the Property, or (c) any loss or damage constituting a basis for a Major Tenant to terminate its Lease (unless such right to terminate is waived or not timely exercised).  If Purchaser does not give written notice to Seller of Purchaser’s reasons for disapproving an architect within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice of the proposed architect, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the architect selected by Seller.


 


 


ARTICLE IX


 


COMMISSIONS


SECTION 9.1. Brokerage Commissions.  Seller acknowledges that Broker has been engaged by Seller to assist with this transaction and Seller shall be fully responsible for any compensation owed Broker in connection with this transaction pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Broker.  Each of Purchaser and Seller represent and warrant to the other that it has not dealt with any broker or agent in the negotiation of this transaction other than Broker.  Each party hereto agrees that if any person or entity makes a claim for brokerage commissions or finder’s fees related to the sale of the Property by Seller to Purchaser, and such claim is made by, through or on account of any acts or alleged acts of said party or its representatives, said party will protect, indemnify, defend and hold the other party free and harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection therewith.  The provisions of this paragraph shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS


 


SECTION 11.1. Confidentiality.  Except as required by law, Purchaser and its representatives shall hold in strictest confidence all data and information obtained with respect to Seller or its business, whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and shall not disclose the same to others; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed that Purchaser may disclose such data and information to the employees, lenders, consultants, accountants and attorneys of Purchaser or as required by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no obligation to maintain the confidentiality of any information which is available to the public.  In the event this Agreement is terminated or Purchaser fails to perform hereunder, Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller any statements, documents, schedules, exhibits or other written information obtained from Seller in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated herein.  In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or its agents or representatives of this Section 11.1, Seller shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Purchaser or its agents or representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part, such confidential information.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) Seller (or its affiliates or any entity advised by Seller’s affiliates) shall be permitted to disclose in press releases, fund reports and/or investor communications and other filings with governmental authorities, financial statements and/or other communications (A) the existence of this Agreement, the identity of Purchaser and the status of the Agreement along with (B) such information regarding the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and/or the terms of this Agreement and any such information relating to the Property as may be necessary or advisable to comply with any applicable German or U.S. federal or state banking or securities laws, rules, or regulations; and (ii) Purchaser (or its affiliates or any entity advised by Purchaser’s affiliates) shall be permitted to disclose in press releases, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other filings with governmental authorities, financial statements and/or other communications such information regarding the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and/or the terms of this Agreement and any such information relating to the Property as may be necessary or advisable to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws, rules, or regulations (including SEC rules and regulations), “generally accepted accounting principles,” or other accounting rules or procedures or in accordance with Hines Global REIT Inc.’s prior custom, practice, or procedure.

In the event that any disclosure is required of Purchaser in accordance with the preceding sentence, Purchaser shall give to Seller a copy of any such filings or other disclosures to be made not less than two (2) business days prior to making the filing or other disclosure and shall permit Seller to make any similar, concurrent public disclosure as Seller deems desirable or appropriate.  The provisions of this Section 11.1 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.


 


SECTION 11.2. Public Disclosure.  Except as required by law, and except as provided in Section 11.1, 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 the form reasonably approved by Purchaser and Seller.

Except for transfers of direct or indirect interests in Hines Global REIT, Inc., any transfer, directly or indirectly, of any stock, partnership interest or other ownership interest in Purchaser shall constitute an assignment of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.10. Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect; provided that the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision does not materially adversely affect the benefits accruing to any party hereunder.

A waiver of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that any party would otherwise have on any future occasion.  The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law, unless expressly provided herein to the contrary.  The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.


 


SECTION 11.19. Exculpation of Seller and Related Parties.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any exhibits attached hereto or in any documents executed in connection herewith, it is expressly understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that: (a) the recourse of Purchaser or its successors or assigns against Seller in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to any alleged act or omission of Seller or any representative of Seller, any misrepresentation (whether allegedly intentional or unintentional) by or on behalf of Seller, or any breach by or on the part of Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking, indemnity or agreement contained in this Agreement or in any of the documents delivered by Seller at Closing, and any attorneys’ fees provided for under Section 11.16 (collectively, “Seller’s Undertakings”) will not exceed the lesser of (i) the Cap or (ii) the value of Seller’s interest in the Property prior to Closing and in any event will not survive Closing beyond May 4, 2011, unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach will have been given by Purchaser to Seller prior to May 4, 2011,  and an action will have been commenced by Purchaser against Seller for said breach within thirty (30) days after delivery of the notice of the alleged breach, and (b) no personal liability or personal responsibility of any sort with respect to any of Seller’s Undertakings or any alleged breach thereof is assumed by, or will at any time be asserted or enforceable against, Seller or its affiliates, or against any of the respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, constituent partners, members, beneficiaries, trustees or representatives of Seller or its affiliates; provided, however, if Seller distributes the net proceeds realized by Seller at the Closing pursuant to the transaction described herein, then Seller will retain sufficient funds to satisfy any liability for Seller’s Undertakings, up to the Cap, for the duration of the Survival Period and, if prior to the expiration of the Survival Period Purchaser asserts a claim with respect to Seller’s Undertakings, then until such claim is resolved but only to the extent of the good faith amount of such claim.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (I) the provisions of Section 5.4 that expressly survive for a period beyond May 4, 2011, shall survive until the date specified, and (II) the obligations and indemnities set forth in Section 6.4(c) and the Withholding Escrow Agreement shall not be subject to the survival limitation or the Cap set forth in this Section 11.19.


 


SECTION 11.20. Discharge of Obligations.  The acceptance of the Deed by Purchaser will be deemed to be a full performance and discharge of every representation and warranty made by Seller herein and every agreement and obligation on the part of Seller to be performed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, except those which are herein specifically stated to survive Closing.


 


SECTION 11.21. Reliability of Information.  The Deliveries and any additional information requested by Purchaser are being furnished to Purchaser for information purposes only.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it is accepting the Deliveries and other documents with the understanding that the information therein has been compiled by persons and entities other than Seller, and Seller has not verified and does not independently certify that the information contained therein is true, correct or complete in all respects.  With respect to the third-party reports, Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that it understands and has been informed by Seller that Seller has not and does not adopt or ratify the findings of the third-party consultants who prepared the third-party reports, does not represent that the third-party reports are accurate in all or any respects, and does not warrant or represent that the third-party reports can or should be relied upon by Purchaser in making its investment decisions concerning the Property.


 


SECTION 11.22. Purchaser Certificate and Release.  It is a condition precedent to the obligations of Seller under this Agreement that the Certificate and Release attached hereto as Exhibit Y (the "Certificate and Release") be fully executed and delivered at Closing by Purchaser to Seller.  The Certificate and Release certifies and supports the fact that Purchaser and its consultants, independent contractors, and other professional advisors of Purchaser’s choice have (or could have) (a) physically inspected the Property, (b) determined the fair market value of the Property in its As Is condition, (c) satisfied themselves as to the financial performance of the Property and its potential return on investment, (d) analyzed the present and projected uses of the Property, (e) independently verified the completeness and accuracy of the Deliveries and all other information provided by Seller and/or its agents which Purchaser deemed necessary or material in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (f) independently tested and examined the Property from a physical, structural and environmental standpoint,  and (g) otherwise conducted a complete and thorough investigation and examination of the Property and the tenants under the Leases employing the highest levels of due diligence and that Purchaser has accepted the Property As Is, subject to the representations and warranties set forth in Article 6.  The Certificate and Release further releases Seller from and waives all claims against and liability of Seller to Purchaser for any structural, physical, and environmental condition at the Property and further releases Seller from and waives all liability of Seller to Purchaser for any and all claims or causes of action based on, connected with, or arising out of any Environmental Laws, hazardous material, requirement or liability imposed under any other law or regulation or any governmental agency or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Property, or otherwise asserted against the Property or Purchaser by any person or entity whatsoever, except as set forth in Article 6.  The Certificate and Release further will confirm the agreement of the parties that Purchaser has not relied upon any representation, inducement, or unperformed promise of Seller or Seller’s employees, agents, contractors, or investment advisors, except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement.


 


SECTION 11.23. Cooperation with Purchaser’s Auditors and SEC Filing Requirements.  Seller shall provide to Purchaser, or shall cause  Manager to provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s expense), copies of, or shall provide Purchaser access to, such factual information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser and in the possession or control of Seller, Manager or Seller’s accountants, to enable Purchaser’s auditor (Deloitte & Touche LLP or any successor auditor selected by Purchaser) 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 calendar year (the “Relevant Period”), excluding any Confidential Documents.  Purchaser shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs associated with this audit.  Seller shall reasonably cooperate (at no cost to Seller) with Purchaser’s auditor in the conduct of such audit.  As a condition to Seller’s granting access and delivering information as provided for under this Section 11.23, Purchaser agrees to cause Manager to provide to Purchaser’s auditor when requested by Purchaser’s auditor letters of representation in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit Z, with such changes as requested by Purchaser’s auditor (the “Representation Letters”); provided, however, Purchaser shall cause Manager to deliver to Purchaser’s auditor the Representation Letters (whether or not requested by Purchaser’s auditor) and provide Seller with a copy thereof after the completion of any such audit.  Purchaser shall provide, or cause Manager to provide, to Seller copies of any GAAP financial statements for the Property covering the Relevant Period generated by Purchaser or Manager either in advance of or after submitting the same to the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authority or any other third party. If requested by such auditor, Seller agrees to provide historical financial statements for the Property for the Relevant Period, including income and balance sheet data for the Property, but only to the extent prepared by or for Seller for the Relevant Period, whether required before or after Closing.  Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Purchaser or its designated independent or other auditor may audit Seller’s operating statements of the Property for the Relevant Period, at Purchaser’s expense, and Seller shall provide such documentation as Purchaser or its auditor may reasonably request in order to complete such audit, and (ii) Seller shall furnish to Purchaser such financial and other information relating to the Relevant Period as may be reasonably required by Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser to make any required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authority; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations of Seller shall be limited to providing such information or documentation as relates to the Relevant Period and as may be in the possession of, or reasonably obtainable by, Seller, Manager or Seller’s accountants, at no cost to Seller, and in the format that Seller (or Manager or Seller’s accountants) have maintained such information.  Nothing contained in this Section 11.23 shall expand any representations or warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement, and Seller does not make, and expressly disclaims, any representations and warranties to Purchaser with respect to the information to be provided to the auditor as described in this Section 11.23, and no such information shall be relied upon by Purchaser.  This provision shall survive Closing.

FORM OF WITHHOLDING ESCROW AGREEMENT


 


WITHHOLDING ESCROW AGREEMENT







THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made as of this 17th day of March, 2010, by and among KANAM GRUND KAPITALANLAGEGESELLSCHAFT MBH, a German limited liability company, for the benefit of KanAm US grundinvest Fonds, a German open-end real estate fund sponsored by KanAm Grund (“Seller”), HINES GLOBAL REIT 50 SOUTH SIXTH LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”), and FIDELITY NATIONAL TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY, as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”).







W I T N E S S E T H :







WHEREAS, simultaneously herewith, Seller and Purchaser have consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and between Seller and Purchaser dated __________________, 2010.







WHEREAS, in accordance with the Agreement, Purchaser has transferred (or, pursuant to separate instructions, has directed Escrow Agent to transfer) to an account designated by Escrow Agent simultaneously herewith the amount of __________________ and No/100 Dollars ($__________________.00) (the “Escrow Amount”), which Escrow Amount shall be deposited with Escrow Agent, to be held pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.







WHEREAS, the parties desire that Escrow Agent hold the Escrow Amount in escrow, and Escrow Agent has agreed to hold the Escrow Amount in escrow, all upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement.







NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:







1. Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the Escrow Amount, which shall be held by Escrow Agent subject to the provisions of this Agreement.


 


2. The Escrow Amount shall be held in an interest bearing account at Wachovia Bank, National Association (or at such other commercial bank as Escrow Agent shall select and that Seller shall approve, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Escrow Agent shall be under no obligation to invest the Escrow Amount until it is in receipt of an IRS Form W-9 showing the tax identification number for the entity to benefit from any interest.


 


3. All references to the Escrow Amount shall be deemed to include the interest, if any, that is earned on the Escrow Amount.  Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for (i) any interest earned on the Escrow Amount except for such interest as is actually earned or (ii) for the loss of any interest resulting from the withdrawal of any interest-bearing investment prior to maturity or the date interest is posted on such investment.  In addition, Purchaser may at any time instruct Escrow Agent to disburse the Escrow Amount to the Internal Revenue Service if Purchaser believes that such disbursement is required by applicable law; provided, however, prior to giving any such instruction to Escrow Agent, Purchaser shall give not less than five (5) days prior notice to Seller of its intent to so instruct Escrow Agent and shall discuss in good faith with Seller its position prior to giving such instruction.


 


4. Within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date hereof, Seller and Purchaser shall deliver jointly a written notice to Escrow Agent instructing Escrow Agent as to the manner in which Escrow Agent is to disburse the Escrow Amount.


 


5. In the event that Seller shall desire to have the Escrow Amount invested in a manner other than as provided for in this Agreement, Seller and Escrow Agent shall use good faith efforts to agree on an alternate means of holding the Escrow Amount, including without limitation, depositing the Escrow Amount with an alternate escrow agent, reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller.


 


6. Any notice pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing and sent by (a) personal delivery, (b) reputable overnight delivery service with proof of delivery, (c) United States Mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or (d) legible facsimile transmission, sent to the intended addressee at the address set forth below, or to such other address or to the attention of such other person as the addressee shall have designated by written notice sent in accordance herewith, and shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt or refusal to accept delivery, or, in the case of facsimile transmission, as of the date of the facsimile transmission, provided that any facsimile received after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding business day, and further provided that an original of such facsimile is also sent to the intended addressee by means described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above. Unless changed in accordance with the preceding sentence, the addresses for notices given pursuant to this Agreement shall be as follows:

7.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding any objection by Seller, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrowed Funds to the Internal Revenue Service if directed to do so by Purchaser subject to compliance with Section 3 hereof.


 


8. Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way or to any person for its refusal to comply with adverse claims and demands being made for the Escrow Amount.  Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any act or failure to act on its part nor shall it have any liability under this Agreement or in connection herewith except in the case of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence.  This Agreement shall terminate and Escrow Agent shall be automatically released from all responsibility and liability hereunder upon Escrow Agent’s delivery or deposit of the Escrow Amount in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  Nonetheless, at Escrow Agent’s request, Purchaser and Seller shall deliver to Escrow Agent, upon the termination of this Agreement, a general release with respect to all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding any objection by Seller, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrowed Funds to the Internal Revenue Service if directed to do so by Purchaser.


 


9. It is expressly understood that Escrow Agent acts hereunder as an accommodation to Seller and Purchaser and as a depository only and is not responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any instrument deposited with it, or for the form of execution of such instruments, or for the identity, authority or right of any person executing or depositing the same, or for the terms and conditions of any instrument pursuant to which Escrow Agent or the parties may act.


 


10. The duties of Escrow Agent are purely ministerial.  The Escrow Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those set forth in this Agreement and shall not incur any liability in acting upon any signature, notice, request, waiver, consent, receipt or other paper or document believed by Escrow Agent to be genuine, and Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give it any notice on behalf of any party in accordance with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.


 


11. Escrow Agent may act or refrain from acting in respect of any matter referred to herein in full reliance upon and by and with the advice of counsel which may be selected by it (including any member or employee of its firm) and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting upon the advice of such counsel.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding any objection by Seller, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrowed Funds to the Internal Revenue Service if directed to do so by Purchaser.


 


12. By its execution hereof, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and save Escrow Agent harmless from any and all loss, damage, claims, liabilities, judgments and other cost and expense of every kind and nature which may be incurred by Escrow Agent arising out of its acting as Escrow Agent hereunder (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, which shall include the fees and disbursements of any member or employee of its firm) except in the case of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence or breach of this Agreement.


 


13. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally but only by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.


 


14. This Agreement and all matters relating hereto shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the law of the State of Minnesota.


 


15. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.


 


16. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.  In addition, this Agreement may be executed and delivered via facsimile and/or e-mail, provided that the document so transmitted has been manually signed by (or on behalf of) the applicable party(ies), and each such signature delivered by facsimile or e-mail shall have the same force and effect as if the signatory(ies) had manually signed this Agreement.


 


17. It is understood and agreed that all understandings and agreements heretofore had between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof are merged into this Agreement, which alone fully and completely expresses their agreement.


 


18. All parties agree that nothing herein shall be construed so as to make Escrow Agent a party responsible for withholding under FIRPTA or any other applicable act, law or regulation.

FORMS OF REPRESENTATION LETTERS


 


_______ __, 2010


Deloitte & Touche LLP


1111 Bagby Street, Suite 4500


Houston, TX 77002


 


We, Hines Interests Limited Partnership, the property manager (“Property Manager”) of the property located at 50 South Sixth Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota (the “Property”) during the relevant period, and the undersigned are providing this letter in connection with your review of the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses of the Property for the period beginning January 1, 2010, and ending on the date of the purchase of the Property by _____________________ from KanAm Grund Kapitalanlagegesellschaft mbH, a German limited liability company (“Property Owner”) for the purpose of determining whether any material modifications should be made to the interim statement of revenues and certain operating expenses for them to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We confirm that we are responsible for the following:


 



	
a.

	
The fair presentation in the interim statement of revenues and certain operating expenses referred to above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).







 



	
b.

	
The design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect fraud since we acquired the Property.







 



	
c.

	
Establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses referred to above since we acquired the property.







 


Certain representations in this letter are described as being limited to matters that are material. Items are considered material, regardless of size, if they involve an omission or misstatement of accounting information that, in light of surrounding circumstances, makes it probable that the judgment of a reasonable person relying on the information would be changed or influenced by the omission or misstatement.


 


We confirm, to the best of our knowledge and belief, the following representations made to you during your review.


 



	
1.

	
The interim statement of revenues and certain operating expenses referred to above have been prepared and presented in conformity with GAAP applicable to interim financial information.







 



	
2.

	
There are no significant deficiencies, including material weaknesses, in the design or operation of internal controls that could adversely affect the property’s ability to record, process, summarize and report interim financial data.







 



	
3.

	
We, as the Property Manager during the Relevant Period, have made available to you all:







 



	
  

	
a.

	
Financial records and related data.







 



	
4.

	
We, as the Property Manager during the Relevant Period, have reviewed and performed certain procedures to ascertain the information provided to you is complete and accurate for the Relevant Period.







 



	
5.

	
We, as the Property Manager during the Relevant Period, have no knowledge of any fraud or suspected fraud affecting the Property involving







 



	
  

	
a.

	
Property Manager or Property Owner.







 



	
  

	
b.

	
Employees who have significant roles in the Property Owner’s internal control over financial reporting.







 



	
  

	
c.

	
Others where the fraud could have a material effect on the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses.







 



	
6.

	
We have no knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the Property received in communications from employees, former employees, regulators, tenants, property managers, or others.







 



	
7.

	
There have been no communications from regulatory agencies concerning noncompliance with or deficiencies in financial reporting practices relating to the Property.







 



	
8.

	
There are no unasserted claims or assessments that legal counsel for the undersigned has advised us are probable of assertion and must be disclosed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 450, Contingencies (formerly FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies).







 



	
9.

	
We believe that all revenues and expenses that are comparable to the future operations of the Property are properly disclosed in the interim statement of revenues and certain operating expenses in accordance with SEC regulation S-X Rule 3-14.







 


Except where otherwise stated below, immaterial matters less than $[______] collectively are not considered to be exceptions that require disclosure for the purpose of the following representations. This amount is not necessarily indicative of amounts that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses.


 



	
10.

	
There are no transactions that have not been properly recorded in the accounting records underlying the interim statement of revenues and certain operating expenses.







 



	
11.

	
The following, to the extent applicable, have been appropriately identified, properly recorded, and disclosed in the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses:







 



	
  

	
a.

	
Related-party transactions including sales, purchases, loans, transfers, leasing arrangements, and guarantees (written or oral)







 



	
  

	
b.

	
Guarantees, whether written or oral, under which the Property is contingently liable.







 



	
12.

	
In preparing the interim statement of revenues and certain operating expenses in conformity with GAAP, the Property Manager uses estimates. All estimates have been disclosed in the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses for which known information available prior to the issuance of the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses indicates that both of the following criteria are met:







 



	
  

	
a.

	
It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect on the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses of a condition, situation, or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses will change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events







 



	
  

	
b.

	
The effect of the change would be material to the interim statement of revenues and certain operating expenses.







 



	
13.

	
Risks associated with concentrations, based on information known to us, as the Property Manager during the Relevant Period, that meet all of the following criteria have been disclosed in the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses:







 



	
  

	
a.

	
The concentration exists at the date of the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses







 



	
  

	
b.

	
The concentration makes the enterprise vulnerable to the risk of a near-term severe impact







 



	
  

	
c.

	
It is at least reasonably possible that the events that could cause the severe impact will occur in the near term.







 



	
14.

	
There are no:







 



	
  

	
a.

	
Violations or possible violations of laws or regulations whose effects should be considered for disclosure in the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses or as a basis for recording a loss contingency.







 



	
  

	
b.

	
Other liabilities or gain or loss contingencies that are required to be accrued or disclosed by FASB ASC450, Contingencies (formerly FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies).







 



	
15.

	
The Property Owner has complied with all aspects of contractual agreements that may have an effect on the interim statement of revenues and certain operating expenses in the event of noncompliance.







 



	
16.

	
The Property Owner is responsible for determining and maintaining the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, as well as estimates used to determine such amounts. We, as the Property Manager during the Relevant Period, believe the allowance is adequate to absorb currently estimated bad debts in the account balance.







 



	
17.

	
We believe that all expenditures that have been deferred to future periods are recoverable.







 



	
18.

	
No events have occurred after the date of the purchase of the Property by _____________________ that require consideration as adjustments to or disclosures in the aforementioned interim statement of revenues and certain operating expenses.

10.  

	
We believe that all revenues and expenses that are comparable to the future operations of the Property are properly disclosed in the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses in accordance with SEC regulation S-X Rule 3-14.







 


Except where otherwise stated below, immaterial matters less than $[___] collectively are not considered to be exceptions that require disclosure for the purpose of the following representations.

b.  

	
Guarantees, whether written or oral, under which the Property is contingently liable.







 



	
13.  

	
In preparing the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses in conformity with GAAP, the Property Manager uses estimates. All estimates have been disclosed in the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses for which known information available prior to the issuance of the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses indicates that both of the following criteria are met:







 



	
a.  

	
It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect on the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses of a condition, situation, or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses will change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events







 



	
b.  

	
The effect of the change would be material to the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses.







 



	
14.  

	
Risks associated with concentrations, based on information known to us, as the Property Manager during the Relevant Period,  that meet all of the following criteria have been disclosed in the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses:







 



	
a.  

	
The concentration exists at the date of the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses







 



	
b.

It is at least reasonably possible that the events that could cause the severe impact will occur in the near term.







 



	
15.  

	
There are no:







 



	
a.  

	
Violations or possible violations of laws or regulations whose effects should be considered for disclosure in the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses or as a basis for recording a loss contingency.







 



	
b.  

	
Other liabilities or gain or loss contingencies that are required to be accrued or disclosed by FASB ASC 450, Contingencies (formerly FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies).

The Property Owner has complied with all aspects of contractual agreements that may have an effect on the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses in the event of noncompliance.







 



	
17.  

	
The Property Owner is responsible for determining and maintaining the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, as well as estimates used to determine such amounts. We, as the Property Manager during the Relevant Period, believe the allowance is adequate to absorb currently estimated bad debts in the account balance.







 



	
18.  

	
We believe that all expenditures that have been deferred to future periods are recoverable.







 



	
19.  

	
No events have occurred after December 31, 2009 that require consideration as adjustments to or disclosures in the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses.
