In addition, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement for the removal of an individual Property from this Agreement and the Closing, the parties acknowledge that this Agreement is intended to effect the transfer of title to all the properties constituting the Real Property, and notwithstanding any reference in this Agreement to any singular property, building or parcel or any other similar reference implying that this Agreement relates to only one property, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement for the removal of an individual property from this Agreement and the Closing, this Agreement shall be construed to relate to the transfer of title to all the properties constituting the Real Property (so that, provisions relating to the delivery of the Deed, Bill of Sale, and so forth, shall be construed to require a separate deed for each such property rather than a single deed, as well as separate bills of sale and the like),  but all other references to the Property, Real Property, Personal Property or Improvements shall be deemed to refer to all of the Property, Real Property, Personal Property and Improvements in the aggregate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Purchaser and/or the purchasers under the Other PSAs elect pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or the Other PSAs to remove (except pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof and thereof) individual Properties from this Agreement and the Closing and/or individual properties from the Other PSAs and the closings thereunder which, in the aggregate, have an Allocation of more than $50,000,000.00, then Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Purchaser, and this Agreement shall terminate five (5) Business Days after the date of such termination notice and Purchaser shall have the right to receive a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit within one (1) Business Day following any such termination, and except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations, this Agreement shall be null and void and the parties shall have no further obligation to each other hereunder; provided that if within five (5) Business Days after the date of such termination notice Purchaser gives Seller notice revoking its prior decision(s) to remove one or more individual Properties from this Agreement and the Closing so that individual Properties and properties under the Other PSAs which, in the aggregate, have an Allocation of less than or equal to $50,000,000.00 remain so removed from this Agreement and the Closing and the Other PSAs and the closings thereunder, then Seller’s termination notice with respect to this Agreement shall be null and void, ab initio, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

Realty Partners III (Onshore), L.P. and H.I.G. Realty Partners III (Offshore), L.P.

For a period ending at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 4, 2019 (the “Evaluation Period”), and continuing thereafter until Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, Purchaser, Purchaser’s Affiliates, HIG, its affiliates, and each of their authorized agents, lenders, consultants and representatives  (for purposes of this Article V, the “Licensee Parties”) shall have the right, subject to the right of any Tenants, to enter upon the Real Property at all reasonable times during normal business hours to perform an inspection of the Property.  Purchaser will provide to Seller notice of the intention of Purchaser or the other Licensee Parties to enter the Real Property at least one (1) Business Day prior to such intended entry and specify the intended purpose therefor and the inspections and examinations (collectively, the “Investigations”) contemplated to be made and with whom any Licensee Party will communicate.  At Seller’s option, Seller may be present for any such entry and inspection. Purchaser shall not communicate with or contact any of the Tenants or any of the Authorities (except for the purposes of obtaining and generating due diligence reports and materials including, without limitation, due diligence regarding any Purchaser redevelopment plans) without the prior written consent of Seller not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no physical testing or sampling which is more invasive than a Phase I environmental study shall be conducted during any such entry by Purchaser or any Licensee Party upon the Real Property without Seller’s specific prior written consent.  TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE with respect to the provisions of this Section 5.1.

Section 5.2                                   Document Review.

 

(a)                                 During the Evaluation Period, and continuing thereafter until Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, Purchaser and the Licensee Parties shall have the right to review, inspect and copy, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, all of the following which, to Seller’s Knowledge, are in Seller’s possession or control  (collectively, the “Documents”): all existing environmental reports and studies of the Real Property and Improvements commissioned by Seller (which Purchaser shall have the right to have updated at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense), existing surveys of the Real Property, “as built” plans and specifications for the existing Improvements, operating statements, real estate tax bills, together with assessments (special or otherwise), ad valorem and personal property tax bills, and any tax agreements for payments in lieu of taxes covering the period of Seller’s ownership of the Property; Seller’s most current lease schedule in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Lease Schedule”); current operating statements; the Leases, Service Contracts, Licenses and Permits, the Association Documents and all other documents used in connection with the operation or ownership of the Property except for the Protected Information.  Such inspections shall occur at a location selected by Seller, which may be at the office of Seller, Seller’s counsel, Seller’s property manager, at the Real Property or any of them, or some or all of the Documents may be delivered to Purchaser in electronic format or as hard copies or may be made available to Purchaser for review electronically.  Purchaser shall not have the right to review or inspect Seller’s materials which are attorney client privileged or which incorporate proprietary analytical or operational tools of Seller, MCRC, MCRLP or any of their respective affiliates and/or materials not directly related to the leasing, operation, maintenance and/or management of the Property, including, without limitation, Seller’s internal memoranda, financial projections, budgets, appraisals, proposals for work not actually undertaken, engineering reports and drawings, plans and specifications for possible capital projects or development, and accounting and tax records (other than operating statements) (collectively “Protected Information”) information.

 

(b)                                 Purchaser acknowledges that any and all of the Documents may be proprietary and confidential in nature and have been provided to Purchaser solely to assist Purchaser in determining the desirability of purchasing the Property.  Subject only to the provisions of Article XII, prior to Closing, Purchaser agrees not to disclose the contents of the Documents or the results of the Investigations or any of the provisions, terms or conditions contained therein to any party outside of Purchaser’s organization other than HIG, its affiliates, the Licensee Parties and Purchaser’s and HIG’s attorneys, partners, accountants, or prospective lenders and investors and their respective counsel and accountants (collectively, for purposes of this Section 5.2(b), the “Permitted Outside Parties”).  Purchaser further agrees that within its organization, and as to the Permitted Outside Parties, the Documents, the contents thereof, and/or the results of the Investigations will be disclosed and exhibited prior to Closing only to those persons within Purchaser’s organization or to those Permitted Outside Parties who are responsible for determining the desirability of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property.  In permitting Purchaser and the Permitted Outside Parties to review the Documents and other information to assist Purchaser, Seller has not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third party benefits or relationships of any kind, either express or implied, have been offered, intended or created by Seller, and any such claims are expressly rejected by Seller and waived by Purchaser and the Permitted Outside Parties, for whom, by its execution of this Agreement, Purchaser is acting as an agent with regard to such waiver.  Purchaser agrees prior to Closing that all such information shall be kept confidential by Purchaser and all Permitted Outside Parties and their respective employees, agents and contractors.  If prior to Closing disclosure of any of such confidential information is required pursuant to law, or pursuant to court or other administrative process, then Purchaser and all Permitted Outside Parties, as the case may be, shall give immediate written notice to Seller, specifying to whom and why such disclosure is required, and no such disclosure shall be made if Seller objects, unless and until a determination requiring the disclosure is made by a court of competent jurisdiction or Purchaser or one of the Permitted Outside Parties is advised by counsel that disclosure prior to such time is required by law.  Seller shall have the right to interpose all objections that Seller may have to the disclosure prior to Closing, and Purchaser shall, and shall make reasonable efforts to cause all Permitted Outside Parties and their respective

 

13











 

employees, agents and contractors, at no cost to Seller, to reasonably cooperate prior to Closing with Seller in connection with such objections, including giving testimony and signing affidavits, certifications or other documentation as may be required by Seller, provided the information contained in the affidavits, certifications or other documentation is true and accurate.  Prior to the initial entry upon the Real Property and/or Improvements, Purchaser shall advise anyone acting on behalf of Purchaser, including the Permitted Outside Parties, of the terms of this confidentiality provision and their obligation to be bound by it.  This confidentiality provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, but shall not survive Closing.  It is understood and agreed that any Documents provided hereunder or information contained therein shall not be deemed confidential if it is of public record or otherwise generally available to the public.

 

(c)                                  Purchaser acknowledges that some of the Documents may have been prepared by third parties and may have been prepared prior to Seller’s ownership of the Property. PURCHASER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, SELLER HAS NOT MADE AND DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY REGARDING THE TRUTH, ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE DOCUMENTS OR THE SOURCES THEREOF.  SELLER HAS NOT UNDERTAKEN ANY INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION AS TO THE TRUTH, ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE DOCUMENTS AND, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, IS PROVIDING THE DOCUMENTS SOLELY AS AN ACCOMMODATION TO PURCHASER.

 

Section 5.3                                   Entry and Inspection Obligations; Termination of Agreement.

 

(a)                                 Purchaser agrees that in entering upon and inspecting or examining the Property, Purchaser and the other Licensee Parties will not unreasonably disturb the Tenants or interfere with the use of the Property pursuant to the Leases; unreasonably interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Real Property or Improvements; damage any part of the Property or any personal property owned or held by Tenants or any other person or entity; injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller or any Tenant, or to any of their respective agents, guests, invitees, contractors and employees, or to any other person or entity; or permit any liens to attach to the Property by reason of the exercise of Purchaser’s rights under this Article V.  Purchaser will furnish or cause to be furnished to Seller evidence of, and will cause to be maintained and kept in effect, without expense to Seller, at all times that any entry is made upon the Property: (1) insurance against claims for personal injury (including death), and property damage, under a policy or policies of general public liability insurance of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in respect to bodily injury (including death), and not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of excess liability insurance, naming Seller and its mortgagee, if any, MCRLP and  MCRC, as additional insureds; (2) adequate workers’ compensation insurance in statutory limits to cover employees of Purchaser and, to the extent applicable, any Licensee Parties that plan to enter onto the Real Property; and (3) if entry upon the Real Property is for purposes of any invasive testing or sampling, errors and omissions insurance and contractor’s pollution liability insurance of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), naming Seller and its mortgagee, if any, MCRLP, and  MCRC, as additional insureds.  Each of the policies described in clauses (1) and (3) above shall be on an occurrence basis and not on a claims made basis and shall provide that such policy cannot be canceled without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Seller, and each policy shall be issued by a recognized, responsible insurance company licensed to do business in the State of Connecticut.  Proof of payment of the premium of each policy and each replacement policy shall also be delivered to Seller.  Purchaser shall: (i) promptly pay when due the costs of all entry, inspections and examinations done with regard to the Property; (ii) cause any inspection to be conducted in accordance with standards customarily employed in the industry and in compliance with all Governmental Regulations; and (iii)  restore any portion of the Real Property and Improvements damaged by such inspections, testing, sampling, inspections and examination to the condition in which the same were found before any such damage.

 

14











 

(b)                                 Purchaser hereby indemnifies, defends and holds Seller and its partners, agents, directors, officers, employees, successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all liens, claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities, demands, suits, and obligations to third parties, together with all losses, penalties, costs and expenses relating to any of the foregoing (including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), arising out of any inspections, investigations, examinations, sampling or tests conducted by Purchaser or any of the Licensee Parties on the Property, whether prior to the date hereof or after the date hereof and prior to Closing, or any violation of the provisions of this Article V; provided, however, this indemnity shall not extend to protect Seller from any pre-existing liabilities for matters merely discovered by Purchaser (e.g., latent environmental contamination).

 

(c)                                  Prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period, Purchaser shall determine (in its sole discretion) whether it wants to proceed with the transactions set forth in this Agreement.  If Purchaser elects (in its sole discretion) to proceed with the transactions set forth in this Agreement, it shall do so by providing written notice to Seller of its election to proceed with the transactions set forth in this Agreement (such notice, a “Notice to Proceed”) by no later than 6:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the last day of the Evaluation Period, WITH TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE WITH RESPECT THERETO. Purchaser’s execution and delivery of this Agreement is the Notice to Proceed whereby Purchaser has elected to proceed with the transactions set forth in this Agreement. Purchaser has no right to rescind such Notice to Proceed or to otherwise terminate this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser agree that any termination of either of the Other PSAs by the purchaser thereunder prior to the expiration of the evaluation period under such Other PSA shall automatically terminate this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 On or prior to the Effective Date, Purchaser may notify Seller in writing of any assignable warranties that Purchaser wants Seller to assign to Purchaser at or promptly after Closing and (y) any Service Contracts that Purchaser wants to terminate pursuant to Section 7.1(c), WITH TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE WITH RESPECT TO SUCH NOTICE.  Failure to provide a notice shall be deemed an election by Purchaser to take an assignment of all warranties and to not terminate any Service Contracts.

 

(e)                                  The Right of Access and Confidentiality Agreement continues to govern and apply to all access to the Property, inspections, investigations, examinations, sampling or tests conducted by Purchaser or any of the Licensee Parties, except that the terms and conditions of this Section 5.3 shall govern, apply and supersede to the extent of any express inconsistency with the terms and conditions of the Right of Access and Confidentiality Agreement, and in such case, such terms and conditions of this Section 5.3 shall relate back prior to the date of this Agreement to the date of the Right of Access and Confidentiality Agreement.

 

(f)                                   Until Closing or the termination of this Agreement, Seller shall continue to afford Purchaser reasonable access to the Property and the Documents in accordance with, and subject to, the terms hereof.

 

Section 5.4                                   Sale “As Is”.  THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED BETWEEN SELLER AND PURCHASER. THIS AGREEMENT REFLECTS THE MUTUAL AGREEMENT OF SELLER AND PURCHASER, AND PURCHASER HAS THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT ITS OWN INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION OF THE PROPERTY. OTHER THAN THE MATTERS REPRESENTED AND/OR WARRANTED TO BY SELLER IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY CLOSING DOCUMENT, BY WHICH ALL OF THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 5.4 ARE LIMITED, PURCHASER HAS NOT RELIED UPON AND WILL NOT RELY UPON, EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF SELLER OR ANY OF SELLER’S AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES, AND PURCHASER

 

15











 

HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES HAVE BEEN MADE.

 

SELLER SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS, AND NEITHER SELLER NOR ANY OF SELLER’S AFFILIATES NOR ANY OTHER PERSON IS MAKING, ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR ASSURANCE WHATSOEVER TO PURCHASER, AND NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE BY SELLER OR RELIED UPON BY PURCHASER, IN EACH CASE EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY MADE BY SELLER IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY CLOSING DOCUMENT , WITH RESPECT TO THE STATUS OF TITLE TO OR THE MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, CONDITION, DESIGN OR MARKETABILITY OF THE PROPERTY, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO (a) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, (b) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, (c) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF CONFORMITY TO MODELS OR SAMPLES OF MATERIALS, (d) ANY RIGHTS OF PURCHASER UNDER APPROPRIATE STATUTES TO CLAIM DIMINUTION OF CONSIDERATION, (e) ANY CLAIM BY PURCHASER FOR DAMAGES BECAUSE OF DEFECTS, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WITH RESPECT TO THE IMPROVEMENTS OR THE PERSONAL PROPERTY, (f) THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PROSPECTS OF THE PROPERTY AND (g) THE COMPLIANCE OR LACK THEREOF OF THE REAL PROPERTY OR THE IMPROVEMENTS WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS, NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ENACTED OR PROMULGATED, IT BEING THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF SELLER AND PURCHASER THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY CLOSING DOCUMENT, THE PROPERTY WILL BE CONVEYED AND TRANSFERRED TO PURCHASER IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION AND STATE OF REPAIR, “AS IS” AND “WHERE IS,” WITH ALL FAULTS.  PURCHASER REPRESENTS THAT IT IS A KNOWLEDGEABLE, EXPERIENCED AND SOPHISTICATED PURCHASER OF REAL ESTATE, AND THAT IT IS RELYING SOLELY ON ITS OWN EXPERTISE AND THAT OF PURCHASER’S CONSULTANTS IN PURCHASING THE PROPERTY.  PURCHASER HAS BEEN GIVEN A SUFFICIENT OPPORTUNITY HEREIN TO CONDUCT AND HAS CONDUCTED OR WILL CONDUCT SUCH INSPECTIONS, INVESTIGATIONS AND OTHER INDEPENDENT EXAMINATIONS OF THE PROPERTY AND RELATED MATTERS AS PURCHASER DEEMS NECESSARY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS THEREOF, AND WILL RELY UPON SAME AND NOT UPON ANY STATEMENTS OF SELLER (EXCLUDING THE MATTERS REPRESENTED AND/OR WARRANTED TO BY SELLER IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY CLOSING DOCUMENT) NOR OF ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF SELLER. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL INFORMATION OBTAINED BY PURCHASER WAS OBTAINED FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES, AND SELLER WILL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE REPRESENTED OR WARRANTED, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED BY SELLER IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY CLOSING DOCUMENT, THE COMPLETENESS, TRUTH OR ACCURACY OF ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS OR OTHER SUCH INFORMATION HERETOFORE OR HEREAFTER FURNISHED TO PURCHASER.  UPON CLOSING, PURCHASER WILL ASSUME THE RISK THAT ADVERSE MATTERS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ADVERSE PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, MAY NOT HAVE BEEN REVEALED BY PURCHASER’S INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, UPON CLOSING, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY CLOSING DOCUMENT, SELLER WILL SELL AND CONVEY TO PURCHASER, AND PURCHASER WILL ACCEPT THE PROPERTY, “AS IS, WHERE IS,” WITH ALL FAULTS. PURCHASER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS, WARRANTIES OR

 

16











 

REPRESENTATIONS COLLATERAL TO OR AFFECTING THE PROPERTY BY SELLER, ANY AGENT OF SELLER OR ANY THIRD PARTY. SELLER IS NOT LIABLE OR BOUND IN ANY MANNER BY ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE PROPERTY FURNISHED BY ANY REAL ESTATE BROKER, AGENT, EMPLOYEE OR OTHER PERSON, UNLESS THE SAME ARE SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH OR REFERRED TO HEREIN OR IN ANY CLOSING DOCUMENT. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PURCHASE PRICE REFLECTS THE “AS IS, WHERE IS” NATURE OF THIS SALE AND ANY FAULTS, LIABILITIES, DEFECTS OR OTHER ADVERSE MATTERS THAT MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPERTY.  PURCHASER, WITH PURCHASER’S COUNSEL, HAS FULLY REVIEWED THE DISCLAIMERS AND WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDS THEIR SIGNIFICANCE AND AGREES THAT THE DISCLAIMERS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH HEREIN ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT SELLER WOULD NOT HAVE AGREED TO SELL THE PROPERTY TO PURCHASER FOR THE PURCHASE PRICE WITHOUT THE DISCLAIMERS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.

 

PURCHASER AND PURCHASER’S AFFILIATES FURTHER COVENANT AND AGREE, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PERMITTED AND LIMITED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT,  NOT TO SUE SELLER AND SELLER’S AFFILIATES ON, AND RELEASE SELLER AND SELLER’S AFFILIATES OF AND FROM, AND WAIVE, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY STRICT LIABILITY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION, THAT PURCHASER OR PURCHASER’S AFFILIATES MAY HAVE AGAINST SELLER OR SELLER’S AFFILIATES UNDER ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ENACTED OR PROMULGATED, RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS IN, ON, UNDER, ABOUT OR MIGRATING FROM OR ONTO THE REAL PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION AND LIABILITY ACT, OR BY VIRTUE OF ANY COMMON LAW RIGHT, NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER CREATED, RELATED TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OR ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS IN, ON, UNDER, ABOUT OR MIGRATING FROM OR ONTO THE REAL PROPERTY. THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS SECTION 5.4 WILL EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE CLOSING, AS THE CASE MAY BE, AND WILL NOT MERGE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF ANY CLOSING DOCUMENTS AND ARE HEREBY DEEMED INCORPORATED INTO THE DEED AS FULLY AS IF SET FORTH AT LENGTH THEREIN.

 

Section 5.5                                   Transfer Act.  Without otherwise limiting the generality of the matters set forth in this Article, the parties acknowledge that the Connecticut Transfer Act, Conn. Gen. Stat. §22a-134 et seq. (“Transfer Act”), may apply to one or more Real Property (“Transfer Act Real Property”). Solely as to any Transfer Act Real Property, the parties agree as follows:

 

(a)                                 In connection with closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller, as “transferor” and “certifying party” within the meaning of the Transfer Act, shall prepare, deliver and file a certification and supporting documents for each Transfer Act Real Property (“Transfer Act Certification”), in such form as Seller may determine in consultation with and with the approval of Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(b)                                 Except as expressly provided by the Environmental Agreement described in the following Section 5.5(c) and the Access Agreement described in the following Section 5.5(d), Seller’s sole obligation to Purchaser hereunder shall be to prepare, deliver and file certification(s) in accordance with Section 5.5(a). In all other respects, any obligations Seller may have pursuant to the Transfer Act as certifying party for any Transfer Act Real Property (“Transfer Act Obligations”) shall be exclusively as

 

17











 

determined by Connecticut law under the jurisdiction of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (“CTDEEP”), and as between Seller and Purchaser shall be subject in all respects to the release and waiver of claims and causes of action related to environmental matters set forth in Section 5.4.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser intends the release and waiver of claims and causes of action set forth in Section 5.4 to apply to any rights it might otherwise have, in contract or under any statute, concerning Seller’s Transfer Act Obligations, with the sole exception of the matters addressed in the Environmental Agreement and the Access Agreement.

 

(c)                                  At Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall enter into an Environmental Agreement in the form set forth in Exhibit S for any Transfer Act Real Property for which Seller files a Form III or Form IV (as such terms are defined in the Transfer Act) (“Environmental Agreement”).

 

(d)                                 At Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall enter into an Access Agreement in the form set forth in Exhibit T  for each Transfer Act Real Property for which Seller files a Form III or Form IV (“Access Agreement”).  Each Access Agreement shall be recorded in the Clerk’s Office at closing following the Deed, at Seller’s expense.

 

(e)                                  In the event Seller files any form under the Transfer Act at Closing other than a Form III for a Transfer Act Real Property and such form is rejected by CTDEEP, then Seller shall subsequently file a Form III for such Transfer Act Real Property as “transferor” and “certifying party” within the meaning of the Transfer Act, and on or about such filing Purchaser and Seller shall enter into an Environmental Agreement and Access Agreement as contemplated under Sections 5.5(c) and 5.5(d) above. The foregoing obligation shall survive the Closing.

 

ARTICLE VI

TITLE AND SURVEY MATTERS

 

Section 6.1                                   Survey.  Purchaser acknowledges receipt of the Existing Survey and the Updated Survey.  Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the cost incurred by Seller in preparing the Updated Survey in the amount of $33,000.00, which amount shall be paid at Closing by Purchaser to Seller by increasing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the Purchase Price at Closing. Any modification, update or recertification of the Updated Survey or any new survey shall be at Purchaser’s election and sole cost and expense. Any matters disclosed on the Updated Survey that would render title unmarketable and which are objectionable according to the Connecticut Bar Association Standards shall constitute a “Survey Objection” under this Agreement if Purchaser objects to same in writing on or before the Title Objection Date (as defined in Section 6.2(a) below), WITH TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE.

 

Section 6.2                                   Title Commitment.  (a)  Purchaser acknowledges receipt of the Commonwealth Title Commitment. If Purchaser elects to use a title company other than Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, prior to the Effective Date, Purchaser shall have ordered from the Title Company a title insurance commitment for an Owner’s Title Insurance Policy (the “Title Commitment”). If Purchaser elects to use Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company as the Title Company, within two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall order from the Title Company an update to said Commonwealth Title Commitment.  Prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period (the “Title Objection Date”), Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of any (i) exceptions to title to the Real Property raised by the Title Company if Purchaser deems same unacceptable (“Title Objections”) and (ii) Survey Objections.  In the event Seller does not receive notice of any Title Objections or Survey Objections by the Title Objection Date, Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted the exceptions to title set forth in the Title Commitment, and such exceptions shall constitute “Permitted Exceptions”, and all matters shown on the Updated Survey.  TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE WITH RESPECT TO THE TITLE OBJECTION DATE.

 

18











 

(b)                                 By the date (the “New Objection Date”) which is five (5) Business Days after Purchaser’s counsel receives notice of any new exception to title to the Real Property recorded in the land records or arising after the effective date of the Title Commitment and prior to the Closing (or as promptly as possible prior to the Closing if such notice is received with less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing) which is objectionable according to the Connecticut Bar Association Standards, Purchaser shall provide Seller with written notice of its objection to such new exception if Purchaser deems same unacceptable (“New Title Objection”). TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE WITH RESPECT TO THE NEW OBJECTION DATE.  In the event Seller does not receive the New Title Objection by the New Objection Date, Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted the applicable exceptions to title set forth on any applicable update to the Title Commitment as Permitted Exceptions.

 

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

 

(d)                                 If on the Closing Date the Real Property shall be affected by any lien which, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, is required to be discharged or satisfied by Seller, Seller shall not be required to discharge or satisfy the same of record provided the money necessary to satisfy the lien is retained by the Title Company at Closing to be applied to satisfy such lien at Closing, or Seller provides an indemnity from MCRLP in form and substance satisfactory to the Title Company, the Title Company omits the lien as an exception from the Title Commitment without additional premium or cost to Purchaser, and Purchaser’s lender does not object to such omission based on such indemnity and a credit is given to Purchaser for the recording charges for a satisfaction or discharge of such lien.

 

(e)                                  No franchise, transfer, inheritance, income, corporate or other tax open, levied or imposed against Seller or any former owner of the Real Property, that may be a lien against the Real Property on the Closing Date, shall be an objection to title if the Title Company insures against collection thereof from or out of the Real Property and/or the Improvements, and provided further that Seller deposits with the Title Company a sum reasonably sufficient to secure a release of the Real Property from the lien thereof or an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Title Company, the Title Company omits the lien as an exception from the Title Commitment and Purchaser’s lender does not object to such omission based on such indemnity agreement. If any such tax issue is not resolved within sixty (60) days of after Closing, the Title Company shall, at Purchaser’s direction use any escrowed funds to satisfy such tax.  If a search of title discloses judgments, bankruptcies, or other returns against other persons having names the same as or similar to that of Seller, Seller will deliver to Purchaser and the Title Company an affidavit stating that such judgments, bankruptcies or other returns do not apply to Seller, and, so long as the Title Company omits the same as an exception from the Title Commitment without additional premium or cost to Purchaser, such search results shall not be deemed Title Objections.

 

Section 6.3                                   Title Defect.

 

(a)                                 In the event Seller receives notice of any Survey Objection or Title Objection within the time periods required under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 above (collectively and individually, a “Title Defect”), Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to attempt to remove, or cause to be removed at its expense, any such Title Defect, and shall provide Purchaser with notice, within seven (7) days after its receipt of any such objection, of its intention to attempt to cure any such Title Defect.  Failure to respond

 

19











 

within such seven (7) day period shall be deemed an election by Seller to attempt to cure such objection.  If Seller elects or is deemed to have elected to attempt to cure any Title Defect, (i) the Closing shall not occur any earlier than five (5) Business Days after Seller has cured the Title Defect and given Purchaser notice thereof, and (ii) the Scheduled Closing Date, to the extent elected by Seller, shall be extended, for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) days, for the purpose of attempting such removal.  In the event that (A) Seller elects not to attempt to cure any such Title Defect, or (B) Seller is unable to cure any such Title Defect for any period elected by Seller but not to exceed fifteen (15) days from the Scheduled Closing Date, Seller shall so advise Purchaser, and Purchaser shall have the right to (1) waive such Title Defect and proceed to the Closing, or (2) amend this Agreement to remove the individual Property that Seller is unable to convey free and clear of Title Defects and reduce the Purchase Price by an amount equal to the Allocation for such Property.  Purchaser shall make such election within ten (10) days of receipt of Seller’s notice.  Failure to so elect within such ten (10) day period shall be deemed an election under clause (2) above.  If Purchaser elects to proceed to the Closing, any Title Defects waived by Purchaser shall be deemed to constitute Permitted Exceptions.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding any provision of this Article VI to the contrary, Seller will be obligated to cure exceptions to title to the Property, regardless of notice from Purchaser, in the manner described above, (i) relating to liens and security interests securing any financings to Seller, (ii) any mechanic’s liens resulting from work at the Property commissioned by Seller, (iii) any other liens against the Property based on claims against Seller, or against any tenant unless such tenant is obligated under its lease to discharge such lien (by payment or filing a bond or otherwise as permitted by law), which may be cured by the payment of up to three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) of the Allocation for a particular Property, in the aggregate, with respect to all liens described in this clause (iii) which affect such Property; however up to, in the aggregate with respect to all liens described in this clause (iii), three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) of the Purchase Price, and (iv) any exceptions or encumbrances to title created by Seller or any Seller’s Affiliate after the Effective Date.  Purchaser shall have the right to apply any portion of the Purchase Price at Closing to satisfy, cure and discharge any of the liens, security interests and encumbrances that Seller is required to cure pursuant to this Section 6.3(b).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Other PSAs, the mandatory cure cap set forth as to all liens described in clause (iii) of this Section 6.3(b) (i.e., three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) of the Purchase Price) is an aggregate amount to be applied with respect to Seller under this Agreement and the seller under the Other PSAs and may be reached solely under this Agreement or either of the Other PSAs, or partially under this Agreement and the Other PSAs.

 

(c)                                  Purchaser shall accept title to the Real Property subject to any and all violations, provided that Seller shall, at or prior to Closing, pay any outstanding fines, penalties and interest thereon up to an aggregate amount of $750,000.00 which are in liquidated sums on the face of such violations.  In the event that there are such amounts outstanding in excess of $750,000.00 (the “Violation Penalty Excess”), Purchaser may, within three (3) Business Days after being notified or obtaining knowledge that such Violation Penalty Excess exists or, if sooner, before Closing, (i) waive such Violation Penalty Excess and proceed to the Closing, or (ii) amend this Agreement to remove the individual Property(ies) affected by such Violation Penalty Excess and reduce the Purchase Price by an amount equal to the Allocation for such Property(ies); provided, however, if Purchaser exercises the foregoing Property(ies) removal right, Seller may within three (3) Business Days thereafter or, if sooner, before Closing agree to also pay the Violation Penalty Excess in which case the Purchaser’s election to remove such Property(ies) shall be null and void, ab initio, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with Seller obligated to also pay the Violation Penalty Excess.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Other PSAs, the $750,000.00 mandatory violation penalty payment cap set forth in this Section 6.3(c) is an aggregate amount to be applied with respect to Seller under this Agreement and the seller under the Other PSAs and may be reached solely under this Agreement or either of the Other PSAs, or partially under this Agreement and the Other PSAs.

INTERIM OPERATING COVENANTS AND ESTOPPELS

 

Section 7.1                                   Interim Operating Covenants.  Seller makes the following covenants to Purchaser:

 

(a)                                 Operations.  From the Effective Date until Closing:

 

Seller will continue to operate, manage and maintain the Real Property and the Improvements in the ordinary course of Seller’s business and substantially in accordance with Seller’s present practice, subject to ordinary wear and tear and further subject to Article XI of this Agreement, and not postpone any regularly scheduled maintenance as a result of this transaction.  Seller shall comply in all material respects with its obligations, as landlord, under all Leases.  Seller shall not amend, renew, extend or terminate any existing Lease, or enter into any new Lease without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent may be given or denied in Purchaser’s sole discretion.  After January 25, 2019, Seller shall not initiate or settle any tax appeal for the tax year in which the Closing is scheduled to occur or tax years thereafter, without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent may be given or denied in Purchaser’s sole discretion.  Seller may prosecute and settle any tax appeals for tax years prior to the year in which the Closing occurs without Purchaser’s prior written consent.  Seller shall maintain in full force and effect all insurance policies currently in effect with respect to the Property. Seller shall comply in all material respects with its obligations under the Association Documents.  Seller shall not amend, modify, renew, extend, terminate, or enter into any new agreements with respect to, any Association Document without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent may be given or denied in Purchaser’s sole discretion.

 

(b)                                 Compliance with Governmental Regulations. From the Effective Date until Closing, Seller will not knowingly take any, or refrain from taking, action that Seller knows would result in a failure to comply in all material respects with all Governmental Regulations applicable to the Property, it being understood and agreed that prior to Closing, Seller will have the right to contest any such Governmental Regulations in a manner that is not adverse to any Property.

 

(c)                                  Service Contracts. From the expiration of the Evaluation Period until Closing, Seller will not (i) enter into any Service Contract unless such Service Contract is on terms substantially the same as the Service Contract which it is replacing and is terminable on thirty (30) days’ notice without penalty or unless Purchaser consents thereto in writing, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned or (ii) terminate any Service Contracts unless Purchaser consents thereto in writing, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  On or before the expiration of the Evaluation Period, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of any Service Contracts which Purchaser wants to terminate on or after the Closing Date, to the extent the same can be terminated, WITH TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE WITH RESPECT TO SUCH NOTICE.  At Closing, Purchaser shall assume all Service Contracts.

Any and all costs accruing on or after the Closing Date under any Service Contract, whether or not terminated by Purchaser on or after the Closing Date, shall be borne entirely by Purchaser.

 

(d)                                 Notices. To the extent received by Seller from the Effective Date until Closing, Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser copies of any written notice (i) from a Tenant or the Association, or (ii) that alleges a violation of any Governmental Regulations.

 

(e)                                  No Advance Rent.  Seller has not sent invoices to or charged Tenants for and, without Purchaser’s prior written consent, will not (except if otherwise expressly provided in a Lease and

 

21











 

subject to proper apportionment thereof in accordance with this Agreement) send invoices to or charge Tenants for so called fixed or base rent (for avoidance of doubt not to include any security deposits, additional rent, percentage rent or any other type of rent) more than one month in advance.  However, if any such fixed or base rent is nevertheless paid to Seller, such rent shall be subject to proper apportionment thereof in accordance with this Agreement.

 

(f)                                   Bill and Invoices.  Seller shall remain responsible after the Closing for all bills and invoices received by Seller for labor, goods and materials, services and utility charges contracted for by Seller for its own account with respect to the Property for which Seller is responsible relating to the period prior to Closing and otherwise subject to apportionment and/or Purchaser’s assumption thereof pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or the Closing documents executed by Purchaser.

 

(g)                                  No Alteration.  Subject to rights of tenants and landlord’s obligations under the applicable Lease, Seller shall not undertake or perform or allow to be undertaken or performed any construction, demolition, alteration or similar activities of or at the Real Property, except in connection with any repair and/or replacement work, which shall be performed by Seller as necessary in order to keep and maintain the Real Property in good order and repair.

 

(h)                                 No Transfers Encumbrances.  Between the Effective Date and Closing, Seller (i) shall not sell or otherwise transfer, or permit the sale or transfer of, the Property or any portion thereof and (ii) shall not subject the Property to, or consent to the Property becoming subject to, any liens, encumbrances, covenants, conditions, easements, rights of way, agreements or other similar matters.

 

Section 7.2                                   Tenant Estoppels.  It will be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close hereunder that Seller obtain a Tenant Estoppel from Tenants or, together with the sellers under the Other PSAs, “Tenants” under and as defined in the Other PSAs to the extent required to bring the aggregate rented square footage covered by Tenant Estoppels to no less than 75% (the “Required Percentage”) of the aggregate rented square footage of the Improvements under this Agreement and the Other PSAs, on a combined basis and deliver, together with the sellers under the Other PSAs, such Tenant Estoppels to Purchaser at least three (3) Business Days prior to Closing.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, in no event shall the square footage demised pursuant to (x) a Lease or a “Lease” under and as defined in the Other PSAs, that is scheduled to expire prior to or within sixty (60) days after the Scheduled Closing Date, or (y) the Lease to Fuji Medical Systems USA, Inc. described herein be included in calculating such rented square footage.

At a time selected by Seller but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after Purchaser’s timely deposit with the Escrow Agent of the Additional Earnest Money Deposit pursuant to Section 4.1 above, Seller shall deliver a draft Major Tenant Estoppel to the Major Tenant for execution.  Seller may, but is not required to, deliver by email draft non-Major Tenant Estoppels to Purchaser’s counsel for review and comment.  At a time selected by Seller but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after Purchaser’s timely deposit with the Escrow Agent of the Additional Earnest Money Deposit pursuant to Section 4.1 above, Seller shall deliver a draft Tenant Estoppel to each respective non-Major Tenant for execution. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser a Tenant Estoppel from all Tenants.  Furthermore, Seller shall be obligated to deliver to Purchaser any Tenant Estoppel in the form that Seller receives from a Tenant even if the Required Percentage has been achieved.  Seller shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder if the Major Tenant or Tenant fails to deliver a Tenant Estoppel, or delivers a Tenant Estoppel which is not in accordance with this Agreement.  Seller agrees to deliver by email (NOTING IN SUCH EMAIL THE DEEMED APPROVAL PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION FOR PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO TIMELY RESPOND) to Purchaser (sent to Tim Jones - tjones@rmcdev.com, Sandy Spring - sspring@rmcdev.com, Jeremy Frank - jfrank@rmcdev.com,

Christian Wallace - cwallace@rmcdev.com, Renee Fuller - rfuller@rmcdev.com, Richard J. Shea, Jr. — rshea@cbshealaw.com, Christopher R. Shea — cshea@cbshealaw.com, Lisa Neary — lneary@cbshealaw.com, and Alicia Davis - Alicia.Davis@cwt.com), each executed Tenant Estoppel within three (3) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of the same from the applicable Tenant.  If Purchaser fails to provide comments by email (sent to Brian Primost - bprimost@mack-cali.com, Lawrence Reiss - LReiss@mack-cali.com, Susan Epstein- SEpstein@mack-cali.com, and Miles Borden - mborden@seyfarth.com) to any such executed estoppel certificate within three (3) Business Days’ after Purchaser’s  receipt thereof by an email containing the requisite deemed approval provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved and accepted such Tenant Estoppel, WITH TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE WITH RESPECT TO PROVIDING ANY SUCH COMMENTS.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Purchaser shall have no right to object to a Tenant Estoppel based on information disclosed by Seller or made available to Purchaser, or otherwise known by Purchaser, if (i) (x) prior to 6:00 p.m. on the Effective Date, Seller has disclosed to Purchaser in the Data Room materials which expressly and clearly confirm, or expressly and clearly support, any statement in such estoppel certificate, or (y) after 6:00 p.m. on the Effective Date, but prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period, Seller has disclosed to Purchaser by email (sent to Tim Jones - TJones@rmcdev.com, and Richard Shea - RShea@cbshealaw.com) and by posting in the Data Room, materials that are described in such email as “DISCLOSURE MATERIALS” and which expressly and clearly confirm, or expressly and clearly support, any statement in such estoppel certificate; or (ii) Purchaser obtains actual knowledge prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period, including, without limitation, as a result of Purchaser’s due diligence tests, investigations and inspections of the Property that expressly and clearly confirm, or expressly and clearly support, any such statement in such Tenant Estoppel.  Purchaser’s actual knowledge for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to mean the actual knowledge (as opposed to constructive or imputed) of Timothy Jones and/or Jeremy M. Frank, without any independent investigation or inquiry whatsoever.

 

“Tenant Estoppel” means an estoppel certificate from a Tenant (i) substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H, or (ii) otherwise substantially in the form, or limited to the substance, prescribed by or attached to such Tenant’s Lease provided that such alternative estoppel certificate does not (1) reflect a continuing material default by landlord or a material default by Tenant under the applicable Lease (unless prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period, Seller has disclosed or made available to Purchaser information regarding such default pursuant to the standards set forth above, or Purchaser otherwise has actual knowledge of such default, subject to and as provided in the penultimate sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph) or (2) contain a material adverse discrepancy, statement or information which is clearly inconsistent with the applicable Lease or contrary to the statements provided for in the form estoppel certificate.  A Tenant Estoppel may (I) contain substantiality, knowledge and other such qualifiers, (II) delete the updated certification paragraph and add the bracketed language set forth in the form Tenant Estoppel annexed hereto as Exhibit H or (III) contain non-substantial deviations from the requested estoppel certificate or the estoppel certificate prescribed by or attached to such tenant’s lease, and Purchaser acknowledges that none of the foregoing will allow Purchaser to claim that a Tenant Estoppel is unacceptable.  Tenant Estoppels shall be dated within sixty (60) days of Closing (unless the Scheduled Closing Date has been adjourned for any reason (including a request by Purchaser for adjournment agreed to by Seller) by Purchaser).

 

In the event Seller is unable to obtain Tenant Estoppels to the extent required to be delivered as a condition to Closing pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section, Seller and/or Purchaser may, but are not obligated to, elect to extend the Scheduled Closing Date one (1) time for up to an additional thirty (30) days in order to satisfy such Tenant Estoppel condition to Closing, and if Purchaser so elects, it may deal directly with Tenants to obtain the Tenant Estoppels. If Seller is unable to obtain a Tenant Estoppel from a Major Tenant, Purchaser shall have the option, to be exercised within two (2) Business Days prior to Closing, to amend this Agreement to remove the individual Property having the leasehold of such Major Tenant from this Agreement. If Purchaser so elects to amend this Agreement, the Purchase Price shall be accordingly reduced by the Allocation for such individual Property, and the parties shall enter

 

23











 

into an amendment to this Agreement confirming the removal of such individual Property and the applicable reduction of the Purchase Price.

 

Section 7.3                                   Intentionally Omitted.

 

Section 7.4                                   SNDAs.  (a)  As set forth in “Group 1” on Exhibit P, there are no SNDAs under this Agreement required as a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close hereunder.  Purchaser shall delivered by email on or before March 5, 2019 to Seller a draft SNDA for each SNDA Tenant.  At a time selected by Seller but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after Purchaser’s delivery of draft SNDAs for each SNDA Tenant and timely deposit with the Escrow Agent of the Additional Earnest Money Deposit pursuant to Section 4.1 above, Seller shall deliver a draft SNDA to each respective SNDA Tenant for execution.  Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser an SNDA from each SNDA Tenant.  Seller shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder if any SNDA Tenant fails to deliver an SNDA, or delivers an SNDA which is not in accordance with this Agreement.  Seller agrees to deliver by email (NOTING IN SUCH EMAIL THE DEEMED APPROVAL PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION FOR PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO TIMELY RESPOND) to Purchaser (sent to Tim Jones - tjones@rmcdev.com, Sandy Spring - sspring@rmcdev.com, Jeremy Frank - jfrank@rmcdev.com, Christian Wallace - cwallace@rmcdev.com, Renee Fuller - rfuller@rmcdev.com, Richard J. Shea, Jr. — rshea@cbshealaw.com, Christopher R. Shea — cshea@cbshealaw.com, Lisa Neary — lneary@cbshealaw.com, and Alicia Davis - Alicia.Davis@cwt.com), each executed SNDA within three (3) Business Days’ after Seller’s receipt of the same from the applicable SNDA Tenant.  If Purchaser fails to provide comments by email (sent to Brian Primost - bprimost@mack-cali.com, Lawrence Reiss - LReiss@mack-cali.com, Susan Epstein- SEpstein@mack-cali.com, and Miles Borden - mborden@seyfarth.com) to any such executed SNDA within three (3) Business Days’ after Purchaser’s receipt thereof by an email containing the requisite deemed approval provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved and accepted such SNDA, WITH TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE WITH RESPECT TO PROVIDING ANY SUCH COMMENTS.

 

“SNDA” means a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment Agreement from an SNDA Tenant, (i) substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit R, or (ii) otherwise substantially in the form, or limited to the substance, prescribed by or attached to such tenant’s lease.  An SNDA may (I) contain substantiality, knowledge and other such qualifiers, or (II) contain non-substantial deviations from or commercially reasonable comments to the requested SNDA or the SNDA prescribed by or attached to such tenant’s lease, and, subject to Purchaser’s lender’s acceptance of the SNDA (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Purchaser acknowledges that none of the foregoing will allow Purchaser to claim that an SNDA is unacceptable.

 

In the event Seller is unable to obtain an SNDA from any of the SNDA Tenants listed as “Group 1” or “Group 2” on Exhibit P, or SNDA Tenants listed as “Group 3” on Exhibit P in order to achieve the 50% threshold described below in this paragraph, Seller and/or Purchaser may, but are not obligated to, elect to extend the Scheduled Closing Date one (1) time for up to an additional thirty (30) days in order to obtain such SNDAs, and if Purchaser so elects, it may deal directly with such SNDA Tenants to obtain such SNDAs.  If Seller is unable to obtain an SNDA from an SNDA Tenant, Purchaser shall have the option, to be exercised within two (2) Business Days prior to Closing, to amend this Agreement to remove the individual Property having the leasehold of such SNDA Tenant from this Agreement.  If Purchaser so elects to amend this Agreement, the Purchase Price shall be accordingly reduced by the Allocation for such individual Property, and the parties shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement confirming the removal of such individual Property and the applicable reduction of the Purchase Price.  However, Purchaser shall not have such option to remove from this Agreement any individual Property having a leasehold of a “Group 3” SNDA Tenant listed on Exhibit P if Seller obtains SNDAs from such “Group 3” SNDA Tenants, and such “Group 3” SNDA Tenants under the Other PSAs, having, in the aggregate, Leases for at least fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate total square footage set forth on Exhibit

 

24











 

P for such “Group 3” SNDA Tenants and such “Group 3” SNDA Tenants under the Other PSAs.  For avoidance of doubt, such 50% “Group 3” SNDA Tenant square footage threshold may be reached solely under this Agreement or either of the Other PSAs, or partially under this Agreement and the Other PSAs.

(a)                                 Seller has informed Purchaser that the parties described on Schedule 7.5 attached hereto and made a part hereof (collectively, the “ROFO (RM) Party”) possess certain rights of first offer (the “ROFO (RM) Rights”) and other protections to prevent the recognition of gain (the “Tax Protection Rights”) pursuant to the Contribution and Exchange Agreement (RM), including, without limitation, Section 27 of the Contribution and Exchange Agreement (RM) and Sections 1.1.1 through 1.1.9 of that certain Second Amendment to Contribution and Exchange Agreement (RM), dated June 27, 2000  (the “Second Amendment (RM)”).

 

By signing this Agreement, subject to any ROFO (RM) Exception Condition, each ROFO (RM) Party hereby, now and hereafter, as of the Effective Date, (1) permanently waives and terminates any and all of its ROFO (RM) Rights under the Contribution and Exchange Agreement (RM),  (2) agrees that such ROFO (RM) Rights under the Contribution and Exchange Agreement (RM) are hereby terminated and of no further force and effect and (3) releases Seller, MCRC, MCRLP, Purchaser, HIG, any Permitted Assignee and their respective successors and assigns from any and all obligations and liabilities (including, without limitation, any tax liabilities or other liability or payment specified in the Contribution and Exchange Agreement (RM) or otherwise available by law or equity) with respect to or in connection with the ROFO (RM) Rights under the Contribution and Exchange Agreement (RM), except for obligations or liabilities with respect to Continuing Tax Protection Rights.  At Closing Seller shall deliver to Purchaser and to the Title Company an affidavit in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Q (the “ROFO (RM) Affidavit”).

 

By signing this Agreement, subject to any ROFO (RM) Exception Condition and except for the Continuing Tax Protection Rights, each ROFO (RM) Party hereby, now and hereafter, as of the Effective Date, (1) permanently waives and terminates any and all of its Tax Protection Rights under the Contribution and Exchange Agreement (RM), (2) agrees that such Tax Protection Rights under the Contribution and Exchange Agreement (RM) are hereby terminated and of no further force and effect and (3) releases Seller, MCRC, MCRLP and their respective successors and assigns from any and all obligations and liabilities (including, without limitation, any tax liabilities or other liability or payment specified in the Contribution and Exchange Agreement (RM) or otherwise available by law or equity) with respect to or in connection with the Tax Protection Rights under the Contribution and Exchange Agreement (RM). For purposes hereof, the “Continuing Tax Protection Rights” are as follows:

 

(i)                                     notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, those Limited Agreements of Indemnity executed by each ROFO (RM) Party or their respective predecessors in interest (collectively, the “Indemnities”) shall, to the extent not previously terminated, continue in full force and effect after the Closing (subject to the terms and conditions of those Indemnities) and each ROFO (RM) Party shall continue to be entitled to all rights set forth in Section 1.1.6 of the Second Amendment; and

 

(ii)                                  to the extent that Seller or any of its Affiliates undertakes any Section 1031 Exchange, Seller shall not enter into any Section 1031 Exchanges for any non-LKE Properties

 

25











 

unless all LKE Properties are the subject of one or more Section 1031 Exchanges; provided that, none of Seller, MCRC, MCRLP, their respective Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns shall have any liability to any ROFO (RM) Party if (x) Seller or any of its Affiliates elect not to pursue any such Section 1031 Exchange with respect to one or more LKE Property(ies), (y) any such Section 1031 Exchange with respect to any LKE Property fails to occur (in whole or part) or is otherwise ineffective for any reason or (z) any ROFO (RM) Party recognizes any gain as a result of clauses (x) or (y) above, or from the sale of the Personal Property associated with any such LKE Property.  However, notwithstanding the foregoing, no ROFO (RM) Party is waiving any claim arising from any LKE Properties excluded from a Section 1031 Exchange in favor of any non-LKE Properties being included in a Section 1031 Exchange.

 

For avoidance of doubt, the waivers, terminations and releases in this Section 7.5(a) by each ROFO (RM) Party with respect to the ROFO (RM) Rights and the Tax Protection Rights under the Contribution and Exchange Agreement (RM) apply to any individual Propert(ies) that are removed from the terms of this Agreement pursuant to any provisions hereof, except if the Closing does not occur due to any ROFO (RM) Exception Condition and except for Continuing Tax Protection Rights.  The provisions of this Section 7.5(a) shall survive (i) the Closing, including a Closing as a result of Purchaser’s exercise of its specific performance rights pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) a termination of this Agreement; however, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 7.5(a) shall be null and void ab initio, if the Closing does not occur due to any of the following reasons (each a, “ROFO (RM) Exception Condition”):

 

(1)                                 the termination of this Agreement due to a failure of a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close under (I) Section 9.1(a) - except due to a failure under Section 10.3(r), (II) Section 9.1(b) or (III) Section 9.1(c); or

 

(2)                                 the exercise of Purchaser’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article XI in the case of a Total Damage Event.

 

(b)                                 Intentionally Omitted.

 

(c)                                  By signing this Agreement, MCRLP and MCRC agree that the provisions of Section 26.4 of the Contribution and Exchange Agreement (RM), including, without limitation, those restricting the development of Competitive Uses (as defined therein), are hereby terminated and the RM Group (as defined therein) are hereby released from any and all obligations or liabilities with respect thereto, except if the Closing does not occur due to a failure of a Section 9.2 condition precedent to Seller’s obligation to close, or the exercise of Purchaser’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article XI in the case of a Total Damage Event.  The provisions of this Section 7.5(c) will survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.

Frank, without any independent investigation or inquiry whatsoever.  The Closing Surviving Obligations and the Termination Surviving Obligations will survive Closing without limitation unless a specified period is otherwise provided in this Agreement. All other representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made or undertaken by Seller under this Agreement, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, will not survive the Closing but will be merged into the Deed and other Closing documents delivered at the Closing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing survival and liability limitations shall not be applicable with respect to (a) any breach or default by a party, with respect to which the aggrieved party shall have its applicable rights and remedies set forth in Article XIII; (b) Seller’s liability for breach of Sections 8.1(q) or 8.1(y); and (c) Seller’s liability for breach of the Seller’s estoppel delivered pursuant to Section 10.3(y).

(h)                                 Any other condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close the transactions set forth in this Agreement that is expressly set forth in this Agreement.

If such change does not (1) constitute or cause a breach of an independent express obligation or covenant of Seller under this Agreement, or (2) result from a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller when made by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, then, solely with respect to the post-Closing obligations and liabilities of Seller under this Agreement, Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been modified as of Closing by all statements made in the Bring-Down Certificate;

(z)                                  A counterpart original of the Environmental Agreement(s), duly executed by Seller;

 

(aa)                          A counterpart original of the Access Agreement(s), duly executed by Seller;

Immediately after the Closing, Seller shall make available to Purchaser for pick up by Purchaser at Seller’s location where the same are presently located, to the extent in Seller’s or its property manager’s possession or control, all original (or, to the extent not available, copies of) Leases, Lease files, maintenance records, warranties, Service Contracts, Licenses and Permits, plans and specifications, certificates of occupancy, keys and other items pertaining to the Property which are being conveyed to Purchaser hereunder.

 

Section 10.4                            Prorations.

 

(a)                                 Seller and Purchaser agree to adjust, as of 11:59 p.m. on the day preceding the Closing Date (the “Proration Time”), the following (collectively, the “Proration Items”):

 

(i)                                     Rental, in accordance with Section 10.4(b) below.

 

(ii)                                  Cash Security Deposits and any prepaid rents, together with interest required to be paid thereon.  The amount of any cash Security Deposits held by Seller under Leases shall be credited against the Purchase Price (and Seller shall be entitled to retain such cash security deposits), and any Security Deposits in the form of letters of credit (collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) shall be transferred to Purchaser as set forth below.  Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, Seller shall (1) deliver to the issuers of the Letters of Credit the required transfer documents in order for the issuers to process a change in the beneficiary and pay (or cause the Tenant to pay) any required transfer fee, with copies provided to Purchaser, or (2) if a Letter of Credit is not transferrable by its terms, insert in the Tenant Notice Letter  to the respective Tenant demanding such Tenant to either deliver a replacement cash or letter of credit security deposit to Purchaser for the requisite security deposit pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable Lease, and Seller shall return such Letter of Credit to the issuer at such time Purchaser confirms to Seller that such replacement cash or letter of credit security deposit was delivered to Purchaser.  To the extent a required transfer fee for which a Tenant is responsible under its Lease is paid by Seller, Purchaser shall bill the Tenant and use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to collect such amounts on behalf of Seller after Closing; it being understood and agreed that Purchaser shall have no obligation to commence any legal action against any Tenant. To the extent that any Letter of Credit is not transferred to Purchaser at Closing, or the documents delivered to effect such transfer are not accepted by the issuer thereof, Seller shall, at Purchaser’s request and with Purchaser’s cooperation, reasonably cooperate with Purchaser as Purchaser shall reasonably request to effect such transfer. For any Letter of Credit to be transferred after Closing, until such transfer is effected: (A) at Purchaser’s instruction upon a Tenant default, Seller will draw upon the Letter of Credit and pay the proceeds to Purchaser; and (B) under no circumstances will Seller draw upon the Letter of Credit without written authorization from Purchaser. Seller agrees that after the expiration of the Evaluation Period it will not pursue any eviction action or initiate any litigation against any Tenants

 

37











 

or apply or draw on any Security Deposits of any Tenants against the payment of rent or other default of a Tenant; provided that Seller shall give prompt notice to Purchaser for any such application or draw of Security Deposits prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period.  Seller’s and Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 10.4(a)(ii) shall survive Closing.

 

(iii)                               Reserved.

 

(iv)                              Utility charges payable by Seller, including, without limitation, electricity, water charges and sewer charges.  If there are meters on the Real Property, Seller will cause readings of all said meters to be performed not more than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, and a per diem adjustment shall be made for the days between the meter reading date and the Closing Date based on the most recent meter reading.  Final readings and final billings for utilities will be made if possible as of the Closing Date, in which event no proration will be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills.  Seller will be entitled to all deposits presently in effect with the utility providers, and Purchaser will be obligated to make its own arrangements for any deposits with the utility providers.

 

(v)                                 Real property taxes and other governmental impositions levied against the Real Property and/or Improvements (including without limitation the Stamford Water Pollution Control Authority or other governmental utility charges that are not calculated according to usage), on the basis of the fiscal period on account of which each such imposition was levied. If the Closing Date shall occur before the tax rate is fixed, the apportionment of real estate taxes and assessments shall be upon the basis of the tax rate for the preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation. If, subsequent to the Closing Date, real estate taxes and assessments (by reason of change in either assessment or rate or for any other reason other than as a result of the final determination or settlement of any tax appeal) for the Real Property and/or Improvements should be determined to be higher or lower than those that are apportioned, a new computation shall be made, and Seller agrees to pay Purchaser any increase shown by such recomputation and vice versa; provided, however, that if any increase in the assessed value of the Real Property and/or Improvements results from improvements made to the Property by Purchaser, then Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any increase in taxes attributable thereto. With respect to tax appeals, any tax refunds or credits attributable to tax years prior to the tax year in which the Closing occurs shall belong solely to Seller, regardless of whether such refunds are paid or credits are given before or after Closing.  Any tax refunds or credits attributable to the tax year in which the Closing occurs shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser based on their respective periods of ownership in such tax year, but only after giving effect to any tax exemption that may otherwise be available to Purchaser post-Closing.  For example, if the Purchaser is totally exempt from the payment of real estate taxes post-Closing, then Purchaser would not share in any portion of the refund or credit.  If, however, the Purchaser is only partially exempt, then the apportionment shall be based on each party’s respective percentage of the total real estate tax obligations of the Property for such tax year.  The expenses of any tax appeals  for the period in which the Closing occurs shall be apportioned between the parties in the same manner as the refunds and/or credits.  The provisions of this Section 10.4(a)(v) shall survive the Closing.

 

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

 

38











 

(vii)                           Reserved.

 

(viii)                        Reserved.

 

(ix)                              Charges, assessments and fees due and payable, if any, pursuant to the Association Documents for the month in which the Closing occurs.

 

(x)                                 Amounts payable under the Service Contracts.  For avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall be responsible for amounts payable during any post-Closing “tail period” under any Service Contracts which are being terminated by a Service Contract Termination Notice.

 

(xi)                              If at the time of Closing, the Real Property is affected by an assessment or assessments that are or may become payable in installments, the assessments payable on the date of or after Closing shall be payable by Purchaser, and the assessments payable prior to Closing shall be paid by Seller at or prior to Closing and any such payments by Seller or Purchaser shall be apportioned at Closing based on the customary rules and protocols of the location of each Property.

 

(xii)                           Such other items that are customarily prorated in transactions of this nature shall be ratably prorated in accordance with the customary rules and protocols of the location of each Property.

 

Seller will be charged and credited for the amounts of all of the Proration Items relating to the period up to and including the Proration Time, and Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the Proration Items relating to the period after the Proration Time.  The estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on a preliminary closing statement to be prepared by Seller and submitted to Purchaser and Escrow Agent for review prior to the Closing Date (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”).  The Preliminary Closing Statement, once finalized, shall be signed by Purchaser, Seller and Escrow Agent, and shall be the “Closing Statement” for the transaction.  The Closing Statement may be delivered electronically.  The prorations shall be paid at Closing by Purchaser to Seller (if the prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Purchaser (if the prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing.  If the actual amounts of the Proration Items are not known as of the Closing Date, the prorations will be made at Closing on the basis of the best evidence then available; thereafter, when actual figures are received, re-prorations will be made on the basis of the actual figures, and a final cash settlement will be made between Seller and Purchaser.  No prorations will be made in relation to insurance premiums, and Seller’s insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser.  The provisions of this Section 10.4(a) will survive the Closing for twelve (12) months; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 10.4(a)(v) shall survive until the date that is thirty (30) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the final tax bill or the resolution of any tax appeal, whichever is later, with respect to each Property.

 

(b)                                 Purchaser will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the prorated amount (as of the Proration Time) of all Rental previously paid to or collected by Seller and attributable to any period following the Proration Time.  After the Closing, Seller will cause to be paid or turned over to Purchaser all Rental, if any, received by Seller after Closing and Purchaser shall apply such Rental as set forth below.  “Rental” as used herein includes fixed monthly rentals, additional rentals, percentage rentals, escalation rentals (which include each Tenant’s proration share of building operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the Lease, to the extent the same exceeds any expense stop specified in such Lease), retroactive rentals, all administrative charges, utility charges, tenant or real property association dues, storage rentals, special event proceeds, temporary rents, vending machine receipts and other sums and charges payable by Tenants under the Leases or from other occupants or users of the Property.  Rental is “Delinquent” when it was due prior to the Closing Date,

 

39











 

and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Proration Time.  Delinquent Rental will not be prorated.  Purchaser agrees to use good faith collection procedures during the first twelve (12) full calendar months after Closing with respect to the collection of any Delinquent Rental, but Purchaser will have no liability for the failure to collect any such amounts and will not be required to pursue legal action to enforce collection of any such amounts owed to Seller by any Tenant.  All sums collected by Purchaser from and after Closing from Seller and/or each Tenant in respect of Delinquent Rental, Operating Expenses, or tenant billings for work orders, special items performed or provided at the request of a Tenant or other specific services, will be applied (i) first, to amounts which are then due and payable in connection with the month in which the Closing occurred, (ii) second, to amounts which are then due and payable in connection with the month or months following Closing, and (iii) third, to amounts which are then due and payable in connection with the month or months preceding Closing.  Any sums due Seller will be promptly remitted to Seller. Seller reserves the right to bill and collect from Tenants any Delinquent Rental for periods prior to Closing, but may not pursue any eviction actions or initiate any litigation in pursuit of such Delinquent Rents.  The provisions of this Section 10.4(b) will survive the Closing for twelve (12) months, except that the preceding sentence of this Section 10.4(b) shall survive Closing without such 12-month limitation.

 

(c)                                  At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a list of additional rent, however characterized, under each Lease, including without limitation, real estate taxes, electrical charges, utility costs and operating expenses (collectively, “Operating Expenses”) billed to Tenants for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs (both on a monthly basis and in the aggregate), the basis on which the monthly amounts are being billed and the amounts incurred by Seller on account of the components of Operating Expenses for such calendar year.  Upon the reconciliation by Purchaser of the Operating Expenses billed to Tenants, and the amounts actually incurred for such calendar year, Seller and Purchaser shall be liable for overpayments of Operating Expenses, and shall be entitled to payments from Tenants, as the case may be, on a pro-rata basis based upon each party’s period of ownership during such calendar year.  Seller reserves the right to bill and collect from any Tenant directly for any Operating Expenses relating to any calendar year preceding the calendar year in which Closing occurs, but may not pursue any eviction actions or initiate any litigation in pursuit of such Operating Expenses.  The provisions of this Section 10.4(c) will survive the Closing for fifteen (15) months, except that the preceding sentence of this Section 10.4(c) shall survive Closing without such 15-month limitation.

 

(d)                                 With respect to specific tenant billings for work orders, special items performed or provided at the request of a Tenant or other specific services, which are collected by Purchaser after the Closing Date but relate to the foregoing specific services rendered by Seller prior to the Proration Time, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall cause amounts collected from such Tenant which are specifically earmarked to be payment for such specific services to be paid to Seller on account thereof.  The provisions of this Section 10.4(d) shall survive Closing.

 

(e)                                  Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 10.4 to the contrary, subject to Closing hereunder, Purchaser will be solely responsible for any leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs or other expenditures (collectively, “New Leasing Costs”) that are or will be incurred in connection with any (i) Lease and/or Lease amendments, renewals and/or expansions entered into during (or, if pursuant to an option, exercised during) the period commencing on January 1, 2019 and ending on the day immediately prior to the Effective Date, (ii) Lease amendments, renewals and/or expansions entered into on or after the Effective Date in accordance with Section 7.1 above, or, if pursuant to an option, exercised on or after the Effective Date, and/or (iii) new leases entered into on or after the Effective Date in accordance with Section 7.1 above.  Purchaser will pay to Seller at Closing, in addition to the Purchase Price, an amount equal to any New Leasing Costs paid by Seller.  In addition, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any free rent, rent credit(s) and/or rent abatement(s) (1) for periods on and after the Closing provided in any Leases in existence as of the Effective Date, and (2) provided in any Leases, entered into by Seller, and approved by Purchaser, on or after the Effective Date in accordance with Section 7.1 of this Agreement.  Seller shall be solely responsible for and agrees to pay or discharge at or

 

40












 

prior to Closing, or give Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price, for any unpaid leasing commissions (including, without limitation, those payable to any Seller Affiliate or third party leasing broker or representative), tenant improvement costs, or other landlord expenditures relating to the current term of Leases (as opposed to any future extension terms) entered into on or prior to the December 31, 2018.  At Closing, the parties will equitably adjust based on projected total costs and the amounts paid by Seller as of the Closing, with a true-up post-Closing. Schedule 10.4(e) provides an initial allocation of Seller and Purchaser responsibility for tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions included within New Leasing Costs, subject to final allocation pursuant to the Closing Statement by Seller and Purchaser prior to the Closing.  The provisions of this Section 10.4(e) shall survive Closing.

 

(f)            With respect to any Lease terminations exercised by a Tenant after December 31, 2018 in accordance with the terms and conditions of its Lease, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive any lease termination or similar payments received by Seller after December 31, 2018.  To the extent any such payment is received by Seller prior to Closing, Purchaser shall be granted a Purchase Price credit in the amount of such payment at Closing.

 

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

 

(a)           Seller shall pay (i) Seller’s attorney’s fees; (ii) one-half (1/2) of any escrow fees; (iii) all realty transfer fees and taxes; and (iv) the cost of discharging any liens or Title Objections that Seller is obligated to, or has agreed to, discharge pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(b)           Purchaser shall pay (i) Purchaser’s attorney’s fees; (ii) the costs of Purchaser’s due diligence investigations with respect to the Property, including but not limited to the cost of the Updated Survey; (iii) the costs of recording the Deed and all other documents, except for discharges of any liens that Seller is obligated to, or has agreed to, discharge pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (iv) all premiums and other costs in connection with obtaining the Title Policy, any mortgagee title insurance policy that Purchaser desires to obtain (the “Mortgagee Title Policy”) and any additional coverage or endorsements or deletions (including, without limitation, the deletion of the survey exception) to the Title Policy and/or Mortgagee Title Policy that are desired by Purchaser; (v) if agreed to by Purchaser in advance in writing to Seller, any and all fees, charges, costs and expenses, including but not limited to the cost of any work, incurred in connection with transferring any warranties to Purchaser, provided that, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Purchaser does not so agree, Seller does not have any obligation to assign or transfer any applicable warranties to Purchaser; and  (vi) one-half (1/2) of any escrow fees.

 

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

 

(d)           The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall survive Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 10.6         Post-Closing Delivery of Tenant Notice Letters and Service Contract Terminations.  Immediately following Closing, Purchaser will deliver to (i) each Tenant a Tenant Notice Letter, as described in Section 10.2(g), and (ii) the respective service providers, a Service Contract Termination Notice, as described in Section 10.2(h).

 

Section 10.7         Like-Kind Exchange.  Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge that either party may now or hereafter desire to enter into a partially or completely nontaxable exchange or exchanges (a “Section 1031 Exchange”) involving the Property (and/or any one or more of the properties comprising the Property) under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the

 

41











 

Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.  In connection therewith, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party consents to the other party taking any action in furtherance of effectuating a Section 1031 Exchange, including, without limitation, assigning, or causing the assignment of, this Agreement and all of such other party’s rights hereunder with respect to any or all of the Property, and/or to convey, transfer or sell any or all of the Property, to:  (a) a “qualified intermediary” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(iii)) (a “QI”);  (b) an “exchange accommodation titleholder” (within the meaning of Revenue Procedure 2000-37, 2000-40 IRB, as may hereafter be amended or revised) (“EAT”);  (c)  one or more limited liability companies (“LLCs”) that are wholly-owned by an EAT; or  (d)  one or more LLCs that are wholly-owned by such other party and/or any affiliate of such other party and thereafter assigning its interest in such LLCs to an EAT.  Each party agrees to (i) cooperate with the other party in effectuating the transactions described in (a) through (d), above, (ii) accept conveyance of any or all of the Property from a QI or an EAT or from any of the LLCs referred to in (c) or (d), above, and (iii) pay the consideration therefor to a QI or an EAT or any of the LLCs referred to in (c) or (d), above; provided, however, that (1) neither party shall be required to delay the Closing or incur any liabilities or obligations and (2) the requesting party shall pay all costs associated with such Section 1031 Exchange including reimbursing the non-requesting party for any costs that it incurs in connection therewith (other than di minimis expenses relating to reviewing and executing documents required in connection with the transaction, which shall not be reimbursed); and provided further that the requesting party shall provide whatever safeguards are reasonably requested by the non-requesting party, and not inconsistent with the requesting party’s desire to effectuate a Section 1031 Exchange involving any or all of the Property, to ensure that all of the requesting party’s obligations under this Agreement shall be satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof.  Nothing set forth in this Section shall require Purchaser or an EAT to take title to any property other than the Property from anyone other than Seller by direct deed. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that a Section 1031 Exchange can only be accomplished on a nontaxable basis with respect to the Real Property and the Improvements and cannot be accomplished on a nontaxable basis with respect to the Personal Property.  Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser will jointly prepare and agree to a schedule that lists and attributes a value to all of the Personal Property located at each Real Property that will be included in the sale of the Property. The respective obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Section 10.7 shall survive the Closing and shall not be merged therein.

 

Section 10.8         Specified Post Closing Covenants of Seller.

 

(a)           Intentionally omitted.

 

(b)           Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for out—of-pocket costs, capped at $200,000.00, incurred by Purchaser to (i) close out any building permits with respect to the Property which remain open as of Closing, (ii) cure any outstanding violations with respect to the Property and/or (iii) otherwise address deficiencies with respect to lack of certificates of occupancy or similar approvals with respect to the Property.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Other PSAs, such $200,000.00 payment cap is an aggregate amount to be applied with respect to Seller under this Agreement and the seller under the Other PSAs and may be reached solely under this Agreement or either of the Other PSAs, or partially under this Agreement and the Other PSAs.

 

(c)           The provisions of this Section 10.8 will survive the Closing.

 

ARTICLE XI

CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

 

Section 11.1         Casualty.  If, prior to the Closing Date, the Property or any portion thereof is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty (a “Damage Event”), Seller will promptly notify Purchaser of such Damage Event.  If there is a Material Damage Event with respect to an individual Property, Purchaser shall have the option, to be exercised within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of

 

42











 

such Material Damage Event, to amend this Agreement to remove the individual Property that is the subject of the Material Damage Event from this Agreement and, if necessary, the Scheduled Closing Date shall be automatically extended to give Purchaser the full fifteen (15) day period to make such election.  If Purchaser so elects to amend this Agreement, the Purchase Price shall be accordingly reduced by the Allocation for such individual Property, and the parties shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement confirming the removal of such individual Property and the applicable reduction of the Purchase Price.  “Material Damage Event” with respect to an individual Property means a Damage Event with respect to such individual Property if: (i) the cost of restoration or repair exceeds the greater of (x) ten percent (10%) of the Allocation for such individual Property and (y) $500,000.00; (ii) the Damage Event, including any abatements of rent for a Major Tenant, is not covered by Seller’s or such Tenant’s insurance (excluding any deductible paid for by Seller or such Tenant); (iii) ingress or egress to, the parking for, or the current use and operation of such individual Property are materially and adversely affected with no viable alternative available in lieu thereof; (iv) the Damage Event causes any Major Tenant’s Lease to automatically terminate by its terms or any Major Tenant terminates its Lease in accordance with its terms because of such Damage Event or any Major Tenant has not waived in writing any right which it has, if any, to terminate its Lease because of such Damage Event unless such right is not likely to arise; or (v) the Damage Event causes any Ground Lease to automatically terminate by its terms or any ground Lessor terminates any Ground Lease in accordance with its terms because of such Damage Event or any ground lessor has not waived in writing any right which it has, if any, to terminate any Ground Lease because of such Damage Event.  In addition to the foregoing, in the event that there is a Damage Event or Damage Events with respect to the Property or any portions thereof, or the “Property” or any portion thereof under either of the Other PSAs, where the cost of restoration or repairs, in the aggregate, exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the total Purchase Price under this Agreement and the Other PSAs (a “Total Damage Event”), Purchaser shall have the option to be exercised within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of any such Damage Event, to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, and the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to give Purchaser the full fifteen (15) day period to make such election.  Upon such termination, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, whereupon Seller and Purchaser will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations.  In the event of a Damage Event which is not a Material Damage Event or a Total Damage Event, or if Purchaser does not otherwise elect to remove an individual Property from the terms of this Agreement with respect to a Material Damage Event or to terminate this Agreement in the event of a Total Damage Event in accordance with the terms hereof, then (a) at Closing Seller will assign and turn over to Purchaser Seller’s insurance proceeds, including, without limitation, business interruption insurance, net of reasonable collection costs (or if such have not been awarded, all of its right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to the Damage Event (which right of Purchaser shall survive Closing), (b) Seller will not be obligated to repair such damage or destruction, and (c) the parties will proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Purchase Price (except for any reduction thereto by the Allocation of any individual Property that has been removed from this Agreement), except that Purchaser will receive a credit against the Purchase Price for any insurance deductible amount.  In the event Seller elects to perform any work in an effort to make the Property safe and secure after the Damage Event and to protect the Property from further damage, Seller will be entitled to deduct its reasonable costs and expenses from any amount to which Purchaser is entitled under this Section 11.1, which right shall survive the Closing.  Seller shall not settle any claim with respect to any destruction, damage, fire or Damage Event concerning the Property or any part thereof or spend any award or proceeds for repairs or restoration without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

Section 11.2         Condemnation of Property.  If proceedings in eminent domain are threatened, instituted or concluded with respect to, or if any of the Authorities prior to the  Closing Date indicates in writing its offer to purchase, any individual Property or any part thereof, prior to the Closing, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof.  In the event of any such threatened or actual condemnation or sale in lieu thereof with respect to any individual Property or any part thereof,  (i) where the award or the cost of restoration exceeds the greater of (x) ten percent

 

43











 

(10%) of the Allocation for such individual Property and (y) $500,000.00, (ii) which materially and adversely affects the ingress or egress to, the parking for, or the current use and operation of the individual Property with no viable alternative available in lieu thereof,  (iii) where any Major Tenant’s Lease automatically terminates by its terms or any Major Tenant terminates its Lease in accordance with its terms because of such condemnation, or any Major Tenant has not waived in writing any right which it has, if any, to terminate its Lease because of such condemnation unless such right is not likely to arise, or (iv) where any Ground Lease automatically terminates by its terms or the ground lessor terminates any Ground Lease in accordance with its terms because of such condemnation or any ground lessor has not waived in writing any right which it has, if any, to terminate any Ground Lease because of such condemnation (each, a “Major Taking”), Purchaser will have the option, to be exercised within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of such Major Taking, to amend this Agreement to remove the individual Property that is the subject of such Major Taking from the Property and, if necessary, the Scheduled Closing Date shall be automatically extended to give Purchaser the full fifteen (15) day period to make such election.  If Purchaser so elects to amend this Agreement, the Purchase Price shall be accordingly reduced by the Allocation for such individual Property, and the parties shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement confirming the removal of such individual Property and the applicable reduction of the Purchase Price. In the event that either (i) any condemnation or sale in lieu of condemnation of the Property which is not a Major Taking; or (ii) Purchaser does not elect to amend this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence, (a) at the Closing Seller will assign and turn over to Purchaser any and all awards for and/or the proceeds of such condemnation or sale, net of reasonable collection costs (or if such have not been awarded, all of its right, title and interest therein), to the extent the same are applicable to the Property (which right of Purchaser shall survive Closing), (b) Seller will not be obligated to restore the Property, and (c) the parties will proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Purchase Price (except for any reduction thereto by the Allocation of any individual Property that has been removed from this Agreement).  Unless Purchaser has elected to amend this Agreement to eliminate an individual Property, Seller shall not settle any claim with respect to any condemnation, condemnation proceeding or offer concerning the Property or any part thereof or spend any award for repairs or restoration without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

ARTICLE XII

CONFIDENTIALITY

 

Section 12.1         Confidentiality. Seller and, prior to the Closing, Purchaser each expressly acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the terms, conditions, and negotiations concerning the same will be held in the strictest confidence by each of them and will not be disclosed by either of them except to their respective legal counsel, accountants, consultants, officers, partners, directors, and shareholders, and in the case of Purchaser, its Permitted Outside Parties, and except and only to the extent that such disclosure may be necessary for their respective performances hereunder.  Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that, unless and until the Closing occurs, all information obtained by Purchaser in connection with the Property will not be disclosed by Purchaser to any third persons, other than Permitted Outside Parties, without the prior written consent of Seller.  Nothing contained in this Article XII will preclude or limit either party to this Agreement from disclosing or accessing any information otherwise deemed confidential under this Article XII in response to lawful process or subpoena or other valid or enforceable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or any filings with governmental authorities or filings with any national stock exchange required by reason of the transactions provided for herein pursuant to advice of counsel, or as may be otherwise required by law. Nothing in this Article XII will negate, supersede or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties under the Right of Access and Confidentiality Agreement or Confidentiality Agreement.  In addition, prior to the Closing, any release to the public of information with respect to the sale contemplated herein or any matters set forth in this Agreement will be made only in a form approved by Purchaser and Seller and their respective counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  The provisions of this Section 12.1 are subject to the Section 12.2.

 

44











 

Section 12.2         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.1, upon the execution of this Agreement, MCRLP and MCRC shall have the right to make such public announcements or filings as may be required by (i) the Securities Act, (ii) the Exchange Act, (iii) the rules and listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., or (iv) any other law of a jurisdiction to which MCRLP and MCRC are subject.  MCRLP and MCRC also shall have the right to make such public announcements or filings as they may deem reasonably prudent, and shall be entitled to make such filings or announcements upon advice of counsel as may be otherwise be deemed necessary; provided that in all cases, such filings or announcements shall not include reference to HIG (other than via attachments of this Agreement or the Other PSAs to an 8-K or other regulatory filing) and shall be substantially consistent with the Form 8-K (or other regulatory filing) and related press release which Purchase has approved prior to expiration of this Agreement.  In this connection, it should be noted that MCRC has determined that the entry into this Agreement will need to be disclosed within four (4) Business Days of its execution on a Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 1.01 thereof and that this Agreement will be filed as an exhibit thereto or be filed as an exhibit to the MCRC’s next following periodic report filed pursuant to the Exchange Act.  Purchaser acknowledges receipt and approval of a draft of such Form 8-K.

 

Section 12.3         The provisions of this Article XII will survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE XIII

REMEDIES

 

Section 13.1         Default by Seller.  In the event the Closing and the transactions contemplated hereby do not occur as herein provided by reason of any failure of the Purchaser’s conditions to close pursuant to Section 9.1, Purchaser may, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies, if such condition failure is not cured within ten (10) Business Days’ after Purchaser’s notice to Seller expressly setting forth such condition failure, elect by notice to Seller at any time, but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days following the Scheduled Closing Date, any of the following: (a) if such condition failure is with respect to one or more individual Property(ies) or properties under either of the Other PSAs which, in the aggregate, have an Allocation of more than $50,000,000.00, or the entire transaction contemplated by this Agreement, terminate this Agreement in its entirety in which event (i) Purchaser will receive from the Escrow Agent the Earnest Money Deposit, whereupon Seller and Purchaser will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations, and if such condition failure is under (1) Section 9.1(a) - except due to a failure under Section 10.3(r), (2) Section 9.1(b) or (3) Section 9.1(c), Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s Transaction Costs (which obligation of Seller shall survive the termination of this Agreement); (b) if such condition failure is applicable to one or more individual Property(ies) or properties under either of the Other PSAs which, in the aggregate, have an Allocation of less than or equal to $50,000,000.00, amend this Agreement to remove one or more such individual Property(ies) affected by such condition failure and reduce the Purchase Price by an amount equal to the Allocation for such Property(ies); (c) enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligation to close the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms hereof and to convey the Property to Purchaser (and Purchaser shall have the right to file a lis pendens against the Property in connection therewith), it being understood and agreed that the remedy of specific performance shall not be available to enforce any other obligation of Seller hereunder (for clarification, in conjunction with its remedy under Section 13.1(c) hereof, Purchaser’s remedy of specific performance may be pursued with respect to all Properties not removed from this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1(b)); or (d) waive such condition failure (except as prohibited pursuant to Section 9.1, unless agreed to by Seller) and close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of Seller’s default hereunder, except pursuant to this Section 13.1 or in connection with Seller’s willful failure to close the transactions contemplated hereby or seller under either of the Other PSAs willfully failing to close thereunder, in either which case, if specific performance is not available to Purchaser hereunder or purchaser under the Other PSAs, Purchaser shall have all available remedies available to Purchaser at law and/or in equity.  Purchaser shall be deemed to

 

45











 

have elected (a) or (b), as applicable, above if Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its election prior to the date that is twenty (20) Business Days following the Scheduled Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 13.1 will limit Purchaser’s remedies at law, in equity or as herein provided in pursuing remedies for a breach by Seller of any of the Termination Surviving Obligations. Seller and Purchaser agree that any termination of either of the Other PSAs pursuant to the default by seller provisions in such Other PSA shall automatically terminate this Agreement pursuant to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement and Purchaser shall have the right to pursue its applicable corresponding remedies with respect thereto.  For the avoidance of doubt, if any representation or warranty of Seller was true when made but thereafter, prior to Closing, shall no longer be true in any material respect as a result of circumstances outside of the reasonable control of Seller, while such change shall be a failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close, it shall not be a default by Seller.

 

Section 13.2         Default by Purchaser.  In the event the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein do not occur as provided herein by reason of any default of Purchaser, Purchaser and Seller agree it would be impractical and extremely difficult to fix the damages which Seller may suffer.  Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that if Purchaser’s default is not cured within ten (10) Business Days after Seller’s notice to Purchaser expressly setting forth such default (a) an amount equal to the Earnest Money Deposit is a reasonable estimate of the total net detriment Seller would suffer in the event Purchaser defaults and fails to complete the purchase of the Property, and (b) such amount will be the full, agreed and liquidated damages for Purchaser’s default and failure to complete the purchase of the Property, and will be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law or in equity) for any default of Purchaser beyond the foregoing notice and cure period resulting in the failure of consummation of the Closing, whereupon this Agreement will terminate and Seller and Purchaser will have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations.  The payment of such amount as liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty but is intended to constitute liquidated damages to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein will limit Seller’s remedies at law, in equity or as herein provided in the event of a breach by Purchaser of any of the Termination Surviving Obligations. Seller and Purchaser agree that any termination of either of the Other PSAs pursuant to the default by purchaser provisions in such Other PSA shall automatically terminate this Agreement.   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall have the right to cure any and all Purchaser defaults by delivering all of Purchaser’s closing deliverables under and in accordance with Section 10.2 of this Agreement and otherwise being ready, willing and able to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the Scheduled Closing Date.

 

ARTICLE XIV

ASSIGNMENT

 

Section 15.1         Assignment: Binding Effect.  Purchaser shall not have the right to assign this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein. Purchaser may assign all or any portion of this Agreement, upon written notice to Seller given not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, identifying the assignee or assignees, (i) (a) to any entity or entities in which RMC and/or direct or indirect equity holders in RMC owns or holds a direct or indirect economic interest of at least ten percent (10%) or (b) to a joint venture entity between one or more Purchaser’s Affiliates and an entity owned and/or controlled, directly or indirectly, by HIG or any affiliate of HIG (each such entity described in the foregoing clause (i)(a) or (i)(b), a “Permitted Assignee”), (ii) to one or more entities created and wholly owned by Purchaser or a Permitted Assignee to acquire the Property, and/or (iii) pursuant to the terms of Section 10.7 hereof. This Agreement, and the terms, covenants, and conditions herein contained, shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns of each of the parties hereto, and in no event (including an assignment of this Agreement) shall Purchaser named hereunder be relieved or released from its obligations hereunder. Subject to the terms of Section 10.7, Seller shall not have the right to assign this Agreement or its rights or obligations hereunder, without first obtaining the written consent of Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

ARTICLE XVI

BROKERAGE

 

Section 16.1         Brokers.  If the Closing occurs, Seller agrees to pay to Holiday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P.  (the “Broker”) a brokerage commission pursuant to a separate agreement by and between Seller and Broker.  Purchaser and Seller represent that they have not dealt with any brokers, finders or salesmen in connection with this transaction other than Broker, and agree to indemnify, defend and hold each other harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which either party may sustain, incur or be exposed to by reason of any claim for fees or commissions made through the other party or its affiliates.  The provisions of this Article XVI will survive any Closing or termination of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE XVII

ESCROW AGENT

 

Section 17.1         Escrow.

 

(a)           Escrow Agent will hold the Earnest Money Deposit in escrow in an interest-bearing account of the type generally used by Escrow Agent for the holding of escrow funds until the earlier of (i) the Closing, or (ii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with any right hereunder.  The Earnest Money Deposit is, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, non-refundable to Purchaser and shall be credited against the Purchase Price at the Closing.  All interest earned on the Earnest Money Deposit shall become part of the Earnest Money Deposit and shall paid to the party entitled to the Earnest Money Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In the event this Agreement is terminated for any other reason, then the Earnest Money Deposit will be disbursed by the

 

48











 

Escrow Agent to the party entitled thereto pursuant to the applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement. In the event the Closing occurs, the Earnest Money Deposit will be released to Seller, and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the Earnest Money Deposit. Escrow Agent shall not release the Earnest Money Deposit to either party until Escrow Agent has been requested in writing by Seller or Purchaser to release the Earnest Money Deposit and has given the other party written notice of such request and five (5) Business Days thereafter to dispute, or consent to, the release of the Earnest Money Deposit. Purchaser represents that its tax identification number, for purposes of reporting the interest earnings, is 46-2953085.   Seller represents that it is a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) (“Disregarded Entity”).  Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (“Owner”) is the direct owner of Seller and is not a Disregarded Entity. Seller represents that Owner’s tax identification number, for purposes of reporting the interest earnings, is 22-3315804.

 

(b)           Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any party for any act or omission, except for Escrow Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or beach of this Agreement, and the parties agree to indemnify Escrow Agent and hold Escrow Agent harmless from any and all claims, damages, losses or expenses arising in connection herewith, except to the extent arising from Escrow Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement.  The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as stakeholder for their mutual convenience.  In the event Escrow Agent receives written notice of a dispute between the parties with respect to the Earnest Money Deposit, Escrow Agent shall not release and deliver the Earnest Money Deposit to either party but may either (i) continue to hold the Earnest Money Deposit until otherwise directed in a writing signed by all parties hereto or (ii) deposit the Earnest Money Deposit with the clerk of any court of competent jurisdiction if such dispute is not resolved within ninety (90) days of notice thereof.  Upon such deposit, Escrow Agent will be released from all further duties and responsibilities hereunder. Escrow Agent shall have the right to consult with separate counsel of its own choosing (if it deems such consultation advisable) and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the reasonable advice of such counsel.

 

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

 

(d)           Escrow Agent acknowledges and agrees to the terms and provisions of Article IV of this Agreement.

 

(e)           The provisions of this Article XVII shall survive Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE XVIII

MISCELLANEOUS

 

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

 

49











 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 18.7         Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE CONSTRUED, PERFORMED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT.  SELLER AND PURCHASER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE

 

50












 

JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT.

 

Section 18.8         No Recording.  Subject to Section 13.1 with respect to Purchaser’s right to file a lis pendens with respect to the Property, the parties hereto agree that neither this Agreement nor any affidavit or memorandum concerning it will be recorded, and any recording of this Agreement or any such affidavit or memorandum by Purchaser or Seller will be deemed a material default by (as applicable) Purchaser or Seller hereunder.

 

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

It is the explicit intention of Purchaser and Seller that no person or entity other than Purchaser, any Permitted Assignee, Seller and Seller’s Affiliates and their permitted successors and assigns is or shall be entitled to bring any action to enforce any provision of this Agreement against any of the parties hereto, and the covenants, undertakings and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable only by, Purchaser, any Permitted Assignee, Seller and Seller’s Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns as permitted hereunder.  Except as set forth in this Section 18.12, nothing contained in this Agreement shall under any circumstances whatsoever be deemed or construed, or be interpreted, as making any third party (including, without limitation, Broker) a beneficiary of any term or provision of this Agreement or any instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto, and Purchaser and Seller expressly reject any such intent, construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

(b)           A default by Seller under this Agreement shall be a default by the seller under the Other PSAs, and a default by the seller under either of the Other PSAs shall be a default by Seller under this Agreement, and, in either case, entitling Purchaser under this Agreement and purchaser under the Other PSAs, as applicable, to its specified remedies for a Seller default under this Agreement and a seller default under the Other PSAs; provided that such Purchaser and purchaser must pursue the same such remedy under this Agreement and the Other PSAs;

 

(c)           A default by Purchaser under this Agreement shall be a default by purchaser under the Other PSAs, and a default by purchaser under either of the Other PSAs shall be a default by Purchaser under this Agreement, and, in either case, entitling Seller under this Agreement and seller under the Other PSAs, as applicable, to its specified remedies for a Purchaser default under this Agreement and a purchaser default under the Other PSAs; provided that such Seller and seller must pursue the same such remedy under this Agreement and the Other PSAs;

 

(d)           In the event that Seller or Purchaser under this Agreement or seller or purchaser under either of the Other PSAs exercises any right to extend the Scheduled Closing Date or any other time period thereunder, then such right shall also be automatically exercised under the other agreements; and

Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement

 

THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of this         day of                     , 20     , which date shall be the effective date of this Agreement, between                                       , a                 (the “Tenant”) and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, and having its principal offices in Charlotte, North Carolina (together with its successors and/or assigns the “Lender”).

 

The Tenant is the lessee under the lease described in Exhibit A attached hereto (as the same may from time to time be assigned, subleased, renewed, extended, amended, modified or supplemented, collectively the “Lease”).

 

The Lender has previously made or is about to make a loan to                                    , a                              or its successor and/or assigns with respect to the landlord’s interest under the Lease (the “Landlord”), evidenced by a promissory note in the original principal amount of approximately $                executed by the Landlord and payable to the Lender and secured by a first priority deed of trust, mortgage or deed to secure debt on certain real and personal property and improvements (the “Premises”), recorded or to be recorded in the appropriate records of                County,                       (the “Security Instrument”).

 

The Lender has requested the Tenant to confirm the fact that the Lease is subject and subordinate to the Security Instrument.

 

The Tenant is willing to confirm the subordination of the Lease, provided it obtains assurance from the Lender that its possession of the premises demised under the Lease (the “Demised Premises), which Demised Premises is all or a portion of the Premises, and its right to use any common areas will not be disturbed by reason of or in the event of the foreclosure of the Security Instrument.

 

The Lender is willing to give such assurance.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto do hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:

 

1.             The Tenant hereby subordinates the Lease and all terms and conditions contained therein and all rights, options, liens and charges created thereby to the Security Instrument and the lien thereof, and to all present or future advances under the obligations secured thereby and to all renewals, extensions, amendments, modifications and/or supplements of same, to the full extent of all amounts secured thereby from time to time.

 

2.             So long as no event of default on the part of the Tenant under the Lease shall exist which would entitle the Landlord to terminate the Lease, or if such an event of default shall exist, so long as the Tenant’s time to cure the default shall not have expired, the term of the Lease shall not be terminated or modified in any respect whatsoever and the Tenant’s right of possession to the Demised Premises and its rights in and to any common areas and its other rights arising out of the Lease will all be fully recognized and protected by the Lender and shall not be disturbed, canceled, terminated or otherwise

 











 

affected by reason of the Security Instrument or any action or proceeding instituted by the Lender to foreclose the Security Instrument, or any extension, renewal, consolidation or replacement of same, irrespective of whether the Tenant shall have been joined in any action or proceeding.

 

3.             In the event that the Lender takes possession of the Premises, either as the result of foreclosure of the Security Instrument or accepting a deed to the Premises in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise, or the Premises shall be purchased at such a foreclosure by a third party, the Tenant shall attorn to the Lender or such third party and recognize the Lender or such third party as its landlord under the Lease, and the Lender or such third party will recognize and accept the Tenant as its tenant thereunder, whereupon, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Lender or such third party and the Tenant for the full term thereof, together with all extensions and renewals thereof, and the Lender or such third party shall thereafter assume and perform all of the Landlord’s obligations, as the landlord under the Lease with the same force and effect as if the Lender or such third party were originally named therein as the Landlord; provided, however, that the Lender or such third party shall not be:

 

(a)           liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including the Landlord), except to the extent the Lender was furnished notice and opportunity to cure the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement prior to taking possession of such Premises; or

 

(b)           subject to any offsets or defenses which the Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including the Landlord), except to the extent the Lender was furnished notice and opportunity to cure the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement prior to taking possession of such Premises; or

 

(c)           bound by any rent or additional rent which the Tenant might have paid for more than two (2) months in advance to any prior landlord (including the Landlord); or

 

(d)           bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease not consented to in writing by the Lender.

 

4.             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, in the event the Lender or a third party takes possession of the Premises as provided in paragraph 3 above, the liability of the Lender or such third party under the Lease shall be limited to the Lender’s or such third parties, as the case may be, interest in the Premises, and upon any assignment or other transfer of the Lender’s or such third-party’s interest in the Premises, the Lender or such third party, as applicable, shall be discharged and released from any obligation or liability under the Lease arising or accruing after the date of such assignment or transfer.

 

5.             Tenant agrees not to subordinate the Lease to any other lien or encumbrance which (i) affects the Premises under the Lease, or any part thereof, or (ii) is junior to the Security Instrument, without the express written consent of the Lender, and any such subordination or any such attempted subordination or agreement to subordinate without such consent of Lender, shall be void and of no force and effect.

 

6.             Tenant agrees to provide copies of all notices given Landlord under the Lease to Lender at the following address:

or to such other address as Lender shall designate in writing; and all such notices shall be in writing and shall be considered as properly given if (i) mailed to the addressee by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, (ii) by delivering same in person to the addressee, or (iii) by delivery to a third party commercial delivery service for same day or next day delivery to the office of the addressee with proof of delivery; any notice so given shall be effective, as applicable, upon (a) the third (3rd) day following the day such notice is deposited with the United States mail, (b) delivery to the addressee, or (c) upon delivery to such third party delivery service; and any notice given in any other manner shall be effective only if and when received by the addressee.

 

7.             In the event Landlord shall fail to perform or observe any of the terms, conditions or agreements in the Lease, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Lender and Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure such default.  Tenant shall not take any action with respect to such default under the Lease (including without limitation any action in order to terminate, rescind or avoid the Lease or to withhold any rent or other monetary obligations thereunder) for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of such written notice by Lender; provided, however, that in the case of any default which cannot with diligence be cured within such thirty (30) day period, if Lender shall proceed promptly to cure such default and thereafter prosecute the curing of such default with diligence and continuity, then the time within which such default may be cured shall be extended for such period as may be necessary to complete the curing of such default with diligence and continuity.

 

8.             Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way impair or affect the lien created by the Security Instrument, except as specifically set forth herein.

 

9.             This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that in the event of the assignment or transfer of the interest of the Lender to a party that assumes the Lender’s obligations and liabilities hereunder, all obligations and liabilities of the Lender under this Agreement shall terminate, and thereupon all such obligations and liabilities shall be the responsibility of the party to whom the Lender’s interest is assigned or transferred.

 

10.          In the event of any litigation or other legal proceeding arising between the parties to this Agreement, whether relating to the enforcement of a party’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of suit from the non-prevailing party in such amount as the court shall determine.

C.                                              In accordance with Section 5.5 of the Purchase Agreement, Transferor shall have delivered to Owner as “Transferee.” and filed with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (“DEEP”), a “Form III,” as that term is defined in the Transfer Act, by virtue of which Transferor shall as a matter of law have undertaken certain statutory obligations (“Transfer Act Obligations”) with respect to the Property, and the parties shall have entered into an “Access Agreement” concerning terms on which Transferor shall have access to the Property to perform Transfer Act Obligations and the obligations set forth in this Agreement.

 

D.                                              The parties enter into this Agreement to set forth their respective rights and obligations that will exist after the closing of the Purchase Agreement with regard to the Transferor’s performance of the Transfer Act Obligations.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Purchase Agreement and of the mutual promises, covenants and conditions set forth below and in the Access Agreement, Transferor and Owner hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Performance of Transfer Act Obligations.

 

(a)                                           For purposes of this Agreement, and except as it expressly provides otherwise, the nature, scope and extent of the Transfer Act Obligations shall be strictly as determined by applicable laws and regulations of the State of Connecticut. Consistent with such laws and regulations, the parties expressly agree that the objective of the Transfer Act Obligations, and the obligation of Transferor to Owner, is to achieve written DEEP approval or “Verification,” as defined in the Transfer Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties expressly disclaim any intent to enlarge or modify the obligations of a Transfer Act certifying party as defined by Connecticut law in any way not expressly provided herein.

 

(b)                                           Transferor agrees that its performance of the Transfer Act Obligations, up to and including DEEP approval or Final Verification (as defined below), shall be specifically enforceable by the Owner, or by any person taking an assignment of rights and responsibilities under this Agreement in accordance with its terms.  Transferor shall perform the Transfer Act Obligations and its obligations under the Access Agreement at its sole cost and expense.

 

3











 

(c)                                            In performing the Transfer Act Obligations, Transferor shall proceed in a timely manner with reasonable diligence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that Transferor shall promptly prepare a work plan for additional site characterization work, including a schedule for implementation, and shall implement such plan in accordance with such schedule promptly after receiving notice from DEEP as to whether the site will proceed under DEEP or LEP supervision. As to performance of all subsequent activities within the scope of Transfer Act Obligations, Transferor shall diligently proceed with preparation and implementation of work plans, field work, and regulatory submissions up to and including Final Verification, in all cases in accordance with corresponding schedules.

 

(d)                                           Any schedule specified for an activity within the scope of the Transfer Act Obligations shall be subject to modification for circumstances beyond Transferor’s control; provided, however, that Transferor shall timely notify Owner of any delay and provide a modified schedule consistent with the preceding paragraph.

 

2. Remediation Strategies.

 

(a)                                           Transferor may in its discretion employ such institutional strategies, controls and methods to discharge its Transfer Act Obligations that the Transferor Parties and/or DEEP deem necessary provided the same shall not unreasonably interfere with Owner’s or Owner’s tenants’ industrial and/or commercial activity (either present or future) of the property and/or cause unreasonable increases in the maintenance costs of the Property.  As used herein, “institutional strategies” shall include all available exemptions, variances (including, without limitation, technical impracticability variances) and reduced standards and other methods administratively available under applicable law.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Owner may withhold, in its sole and absolute discretion, approval for the placement of any environmental use restriction (“EUR”) as defined in Sections 22a-133n and 22a-133o of the Connecticut General Statutes (or any similar or replacement restriction) or engineered control on or at the Property, provided, however that Owner agrees, at Transferor’s request, to execute documents and otherwise cooperate in placing an EUR that (i) restricts the Property to industrial and commercial activity (i.e., no residential activity), and/or (ii) prohibits use of groundwater for drinking or domestic purposes.  In such event, Transferor shall be responsible, at Transferor’s sole cost and expense, for obtaining any subordination agreements that may be necessary to allow such placement.

 

(b)                                           Transferor shall be responsible, at Transferor’s sole cost and expense, for establishing and funding any financial assurance mechanism that may be required in connection with any control, EUR or other long-term remedy approved pursuant to the previous paragraph.  Furthermore, in the event any control, EUR or other long-term remedy will require that Owner perform ongoing inspection, maintenance, replacement or other work in connection therewith, Transferor shall pay to Owner at the time the financial assurance mechanism is established, an amount equal to the present value of the cost of such inspection, maintenance, replacement or other work.

 

3. Owner’s Consultant.  The Transferor Parties shall allow Owner and/or its consultant(s) to observe any field activities within the scope of the Transfer Act Obligations.  Transferor shall cause the Transferor Parties, when sampling and testing is conducted, to allow Owner and/or its consultant(s) to obtain split samples, if requested.  Owner shall bear the costs of Owner’s consultant(s) and of any laboratory fees for analysis of split samples.

 

4. Reports and Correspondence.  Transferor shall deliver to Owner drafts of all reports concerning the Transfer Act Obligations that are to be filed with DEEP and shall not file such reports until Owner has had an opportunity to comment and approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or

 

4











 

delayed), provided, however, that the Owner’s failure to provide comments to Transferor within five business days of delivery of any report shall constitute waiver of the right to do so as to that report. Transferor shall copy Owner or Owner’s designee on all correspondence with DEEP and shall provide Owner with copies of all surveys, test results, reports, permits, applications and similar documentation of performance of the Transfer Act Obligations promptly after Transferor’s receipt or generation thereof.

 

5. Expiration.  This Agreement shall expire upon the date (the “Expiration”) which is the later of (i) written approval of performance of the Transfer Act Obligations by the Commissioner of DEEP or issuance of a Final Verification, and (ii) completion of Transferor’s obligations arising under this Agreement and the Access Agreement.  As of the Expiration, the parties hereto shall have no further obligation to each other, except for those provisions contained herein that by their terms survive such expiration.  As used herein, “Final Verification” means a Verification (as defined in the Transfer Act) that has been issued for the Property by a Licensed Environmental Professional for which (i) DEEP has issued a so-called “No-Audit Letter”, (ii) DEEP has rejected or otherwise disapproved, and has subsequently issued a written approval or a No-Audit letter for the deficiencies that prompted the rejection or disapproval, or (iii) the statutory time limit for performance of audits has expired, as set forth in Connecticut General Statutes section 22a-134a(g)(3)(A) or successor provision.

 

6. Notices.  All notices required, desired or permitted to be given under or in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given to the respective party at the addresses set forth below.  Such notices shall, unless otherwise provided herein, be given or served (i) by overnight delivery using a nationally recognized overnight courier, (ii) by personal delivery, or (iii) by email, provided that notice is also sent on the same day via overnight delivery.  Notice given hereunder shall be effective only if and when received or rejected by the party to be notified.  A party’s address may be changed by written notice to the other parties given in accordance with this Section.  Rejection or other refusal to accept or inability to deliver a notice because of changed address for which no notice was given shall be deemed to be effective on the day delivery was first attempted.  Notices given by counsel to Transferor shall be deemed given by Transferor and notices given by counsel to Owner shall be deemed given by Owner.

7. Successors and Assigns.  Transferor may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Owner, which consent may be withheld in Owner’s sole discretion.  This Agreement may be assigned by Owner without Transferor’s consent to any party that acquires fee ownership of the Property or to a tenant under a ground lease of the Property, and may not otherwise be assigned without the prior written consent of Transferor, which consent may be withheld in Transferor’s sole discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner may collaterally assign this Agreement to the holder of a mortgage encumbering the Property.  This Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

 

8. Amendment and Waiver.  This Agreement may not be amended except by a writing signed by both parties nor shall observance of any term of this Agreement be waived except with the written consent of the parties benefiting from such term.  The failure by either party to enforce against the other any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s right to enforce against the other party by the same or any other such term or provision in the future.

 

9. Definition of Owner.  The term Owner, as used in this Agreement, means, initially, the “Transferee” identified as such in Paragraph C of the “Background” above, and, following assignment in accordance with Paragraph 8 above, the assignee of the Transferee, or subsequent Owner. Following such assignment, Owner shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all its covenants, obligations and liability hereunder except any which accrued prior to such assignment.  Transferor acknowledges and agrees that any assignment shall not serve to terminate or otherwise affect any rights that Owner may have against Transferor pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement that arose during the period Owner was a party to this Agreement, whether such assignment specifically reserves such rights or not.

 

10.                                         Jurisdiction and Governing Law.  Any judicial proceeding brought against any party in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Connecticut, and, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Transferor and Owner each (a) shall accept, generally and unconditionally, the nonexclusive jurisdiction rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement and (b) irrevocably waive any objection each may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court or that such court is an inconvenient forum.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut without regard to its choice of law provisions.

 

11.                                         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

12.                                         Authorization.  Owner and Transferor each warrant and represent to the other that the execution of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action and that the individual signing on its behalf is duly authorized to execute this Agreement.

 

6











 

13.                                         Severability.  Any provision in this Agreement that is held to be illegal or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions and any such illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the parties in accordance with applicable law.

 

14.                                         Interpretation.  Each party has been represented by its own counsel in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and, consequently, each party hereby waives the application of any rule of law that would otherwise be applicable in connection with the interpretation of this Agreement, including but not limited to any rule of law to the effect that any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against the party that drafted that provision.

 

15.                                         Headings.  The descriptive headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and in no way limit or enlarge the scope or meaning of the language hereof.

 

16.                                         No Recordation.  Without the prior written consent of Owner, there shall be no recordation of either this Agreement or any memorandum thereof, or any affidavit pertaining thereto.

 

17.                                         Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement by and between the parties hereto concerning its subject matter and supersedes any and all previous agreements, written or oral, between the parties and affecting the matters covered herein.

 

18.                                         Estoppel Certificate.  Transferor agrees from time to time, to execute and deliver, within 10 business days from notice of request from Owner, without charge, to Owner and/or any other person designated by Owner, a statement in writing certifying (i) that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, identifying the same by the date thereof); (ii) that to the knowledge of Transferor there exist no defaults or claims against Owner hereunder except for the continuing obligations under this Agreement (or if there be any defaults or claims, specifying the same); (iii) a general statement regarding the status of the Transfer Act obligations or any obligations arising under this Agreement, including, without limitation whether the investigation and/or remediation and/or groundwater monitoring and/or institutional controls have been conducted and/or completed, and, if not, what actions remain to be taken in such regard; (iv) that said statement is for the benefit of the party(ies) to whom it is addressed and Transferor agrees that said statement will be relied upon by said party(ies); and (v) such other matters with respect to the Agreement as may be reasonably requested.

ACCESS AGREEMENT

 

THIS ACCESS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of                , 2019 by and between WEST AVENUE REALTY ASSOCIATES L.L.C., a Connecticut limited liability company (“Transferor”) and [                   ], a                            (“Owner”).

 

BACKGROUND

 

A.         Transferor and Owner entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement having an effective date of February    , 2019 (the “Purchase Agreement”) whereunder Transferor agreed to sell and Owner agreed to buy a parcel of real property known as      West Avenue, Stamford, Connecticut, as more particularly described on Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Property”).

 

B.         The Property is an “establishment” within the meaning of the Connecticut Transfer Act, Conn. Gen. Stat. §22a-134 et seq. (“Transfer Act”).

 

C.         In accordance with Section 5.5 of the Purchase Agreement, Transferor shall have delivered to Owner as “Transferee,” and filed with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (“DEEP”), a “Form III,” as that term is defined in the Transfer Act, by virtue of which Transferor shall as a matter of law have undertaken certain statutory obligations (“Transfer Act Obligations”) with respect to the Property, and the parties shall have entered into an “Environmental Agreement” setting forth certain contractual agreements relating to performance of the Transfer Act Obligations. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Transfer Act Obligations” shall include all matters falling within the statutory obligations of a Transfer Act certifying party, and all matters within the scope of the Environmental Agreement.

 

D.         The parties enter into this Agreement to set forth their respective rights and obligations that will exist after the closing of the Purchase Agreement with regard to the Transferor’s performance of the Transfer Act Obligations.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Purchase Agreement and of the mutual promises, covenants and conditions set forth below and in the Environmental Agreement, Transferor and Owner hereby agree as follows:

 

1.         Access for Performance of Transfer Act Obligations.

 

(a)        Owner hereby grants a license (the “License”) to Transferor and its contractors, subcontractors, consultants, agents, employees and representatives (each, including Transferor, a “Transferor Party” and collectively, the “Transferor Parties”), subject to the notification and approval provisions set forth below and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, to enter upon the Property to perform the Transfer Act Obligations.

 

10











 

(b)        The License granted herein is subject to all leases, easements, rights-of-way, encumbrances, mortgages, covenants, conditions, exceptions, agreements, restrictions, servitudes, and reservations heretofore or subsequently granted or reserved and to buried utilities and other physical obstructions (whether capable of detection by careful inspection of the Property, or hidden, unmarked, subsurface, or underground).  This License is granted without warranty of title either express or implied.

 

(c)        The license granted herein shall entitle the Transferor to make use of water, heat, electricity and other utilities serving the Property in performing the Transfer Act Obligations; provided, however, that Transferor shall reimburse Owner for any additional costs incurred due to Transferor’s use of such utilities that exceeds $100 in any month.

 

2.         Notification and Approval.

 

(a)        Transferor shall, not less than 5 business days prior to the date a Transferor Party proposes to enter onto the Property to perform work, notify Owner or its designee that such entry is needed, which notification shall identify the work to be performed and the date(s) and duration of such work (each, a “Scope of Work”).

 

(b)        Owner (in conjunction with Owner’s consultants) may request reasonable modifications to any Scope of Work to minimize disruption to the Property and to tenants at and other users of the Property, consistent with Transferor’s performance of the Transfer Act Obligations.  Owner shall notify Transferor of requested modifications to the Scope of Work, if any, promptly upon receipt of notice in accordance with the preceding paragraph, and in no event fewer than two days before the initial date of entry specified in the notice. The Owner’s failure timely to notify Transferor of requested modifications shall constitute consent to the Scope of Work.  If Owner timely requests modifications, Transferor and Owner shall use reasonable efforts to revise the Scope of Work to their mutual satisfaction; provided, however, that in the event of disagreement, Transferor shall have the right to employ the license granted by this Agreement as reasonably necessary to carry out the Transfer Act Obligations.

 

3.         Disruption and Restoration of Property.

 

(a)        The Transferor Parties shall not unreasonably interfere with, disrupt or disturb the day to day operations of Owner and Owner’s agents, employees, tenants, licensees and invitees at the Property.  In the event the Transfer Act Obligations entail activities in the buildings located on the Property, Owner may request that such activities or portions thereof be performed during non-business hours, and the Transferor Parties shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate any such request.  Insofar as performance of the Transfer Act Obligations entails activities that require the property of tenants at the Property to be relocated and moved in or around the area where such activities take place, Transferor shall bear all costs of doing so and of replacing such property upon completion of such activities.

 

(b)        Except insofar as permanent modifications to the Property are required to perform the Transfer Act Obligations, Transferor shall promptly restore the Property to substantially its original condition including, without limitation, removal of all surplus materials, waste and debris, and, when the Transfer Act Obligations have been completed, unless the Parties otherwise agree, shall abandon all monitoring wells and remove all equipment, investigation and remediation systems and structures and other additions to the Property.  The obligations of this subparagraph shall apply to any discrete phase or round of site activities in the course of performing the Transfer Act Obligations.

 

(c)        For work conducted within areas of the buildings on the Property occupied by Owner’s tenants, at the end of each work day, Transferor shall cause the work areas to be cleaned and otherwise returned to the condition such areas were in prior to the conduct of the work, provided, however, work

 

11











 

areas shall not be required to be returned to their prior condition at the end of each day in the event work is in progress and return of a work area to its prior condition (i) would only serve to delay or otherwise hamper the work, and (ii) does not adversely impact such tenant’s use and enjoyment of its premises.  The foregoing shall not apply to cleaning of dust, debris, scrap and other waste and otherwise leaving a work area in a neat, workmanlike and orderly condition, which cleaning must be performed at the end of each work day.  All work, whenever and wherever conducted, shall be performed in a manner that minimizes the creation and spread of dust and other contaminants at the Property.

 

4.         Permits and Compliance with Law.  Transferor shall be responsible for obtaining all permits, licenses, consents and other approvals necessary or required to perform the Transfer Act Obligations.  Transferor shall perform all onsite activities within the Transfer Act Obligations, and all obligations arising under this Agreement, in a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with all applicable governmental laws, codes, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, regulations promulgated pursuant to the Occupational Safety and Health Act.  Transferor shall be responsible for disposal of, and shall act as generator of, all wastes generated at the Property in the course of performing the Transfer Act Obligations. Transferor shall not allow the Property to become subject to any mechanic’s or materialman’s lien as of a result of work performed by or on behalf of Transferor at the Property.

 

5.         Maintenance.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing, neither Owner nor any tenants at the Property shall have any obligation to perform maintenance or repair on the monitoring well(s), well site(s), or any other equipment, systems or devices employed in the performance of the Transfer Act Obligations.

 

6.         Insurance

 

(a)        Transferor agrees to obtain and maintain, and cause each and every Transferor Party that enters onto the Property to perform any portion of the Environmental Work to obtain and maintain (at Transferor’s or said Transferor Party’s expense) the following insurance, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Owner:

 

(i)         To the extent required by applicable law, Workers’ Compensation Insurance, including occupational diseases, providing for the payment of statutory benefits required by law.

 

(ii)        Commercial General Liability Coverage which shall name, as additional insureds, Owner, Owner’s property manager, Transferor and, insofar as performance of the Transfer Act Obligations involves activities within any leased portion of any building on the Property, the lessee(s), with a minimum combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of $2,000,000 per occurrence.

 

(iii)       In the event a Transferor Party shall provide professional work or services, professional liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence.

 

(b)        Evidence of insurance shall be forwarded to Owner prior to entry by any Transferor Parties onto the Property.  Such evidence shall provide that should any of the policies described in such certificate be canceled before the expiration date thereof, the insurer affording coverage shall mail 30 days written notice of such cancellation to the named additional insureds.  Transferor covenants that if it receives notice of cancellation or termination of insurance it will promptly furnish Owner with a copy of such notice.

 

(c)        The insurance described herein sets forth minimum amounts and types of coverage, and is not to be construed in any way as a limitation of Transferor’s or a Transferor Party’s liability.

 

12











 

7.         Condition of Limitation; Indemnification.

 

(a)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Transferor shall have no liability for any Hazardous Waste or Hazardous Substance that was first disposed of or released at, on, or under the Property from and after the Closing, unless caused by the Transferor Parties.

 

(b)        Transferor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Owner harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, losses, penalties or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and related expenses) arising out of or from performance of the Transfer Act Obligations or the obligations arising under this Agreement, including without limitation: (i) any disposal or release (whether intentional or not) of Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Substance (including, without limitation, the offsite migration of Hazardous Wastes and Hazardous Substance) at, on, under, or from the Property that is caused by the Transferor Parties in the course of performing the Transfer Act Obligations or the obligations arising under this Agreement, (ii) injuries or death of any person or persons or damage to any natural resources and property (including but not limited to, employees and property of Owner or Transferor) to the extent wholly or partially caused by the Transferor Parties in the course of performing the Transfer Act Obligations or the obligations arising under this Agreement, (iii) all liens and other encumbrances against the Property on account of debts or claims alleged to be due for work performed or materials supplied in connection with performance of the Transfer Act Obligations or the obligations arising under this Agreement, (iv) any one or more of the Transferor Parties’ failure to comply with any laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to performance of the Transfer Act Obligations or the obligations arising under this Agreement.  Clause (iii) of this provision is not intended and shall not be construed as Owner’s consent or authorization for any such liens or encumbrances.

 

(c)        Owner agrees to and does hereby agree to defend, indemnify and hold Transferor harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, losses, penalties or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and related expenses) arising out of or from the disposal or release (whether intentional or not) of Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Substance (including, without limitation, the offsite migration of Hazardous Wastes and Hazardous Substance) at, on, under or from the Property that occurs subsequent to the Closing during the period of Owner’s ownership of the Property (except to the extent wholly or partially caused by the Transferor Parties).

 

(d)        The indemnifications contained in this section shall survive the Expiration (as defined below) and/or termination of this Agreement.

 

8.         Expiration.  This Agreement shall expire upon the date (the “Expiration”) which is the later of (i) written approval of performance of the Transfer Act Obligations by the Commissioner of DEEP or issuance of a Final Verification (as hereinafter defined), and (ii) completion of Transferor’s obligations arising under this Agreement and the Environmental Agreement.  As of the Expiration, the parties hereto shall have no further obligation to each other, except for those provisions contained herein that by their terms survive such expiration. As used herein, “Final Verification” means a Verification (as defined in the Transfer Act) that has been issued for the Property by a Licensed Environmental Professional for which (i) DEEP has issued a so-called “No-Audit Letter”, (ii) DEEP has rejected or otherwise disapproved, and has subsequently issued a written approval or a No-Audit letter for the deficiencies that prompted the rejection or disapproval, or (iii) the statutory time limit for performance of audits has expired, as set forth in Connecticut General Statutes section 22a-134a(g)(3)(A) or successor provision. Upon occurrence of the Expiration, Owner shall have the right to file an affidavit of fact under Connecticut General Statutes section 47-12a on the Stamford Land Records that confirms such Expiration, which affidavit of fact may include a copy of the document(s) evidencing satisfaction of the provisions of this Section (e.g. DEEP approval or No-Audit Letter). The parties agree that upon filing of such affidavit of fact, this Agreement

 

13











 

shall be deemed released of record, provided that such release of record shall not operate to release any claims that any party to this Agreement may have under and pursuant to this Agreement that survives Expiration.

 

9.         Notices.  All notices required, desired or permitted to be given under or in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given to the respective party at the addresses set forth below.  Such notices shall, unless otherwise provided herein, be given or served (i) by overnight delivery using a nationally recognized overnight courier, (ii) by personal delivery, or (iii) by email, provided that notice is also sent on the same day via overnight delivery.  Notice given hereunder shall be effective only if and when received or rejected by the party to be notified.  A party’s address may be changed by written notice to the other parties given in accordance with this Section.  Rejection or other refusal to accept or inability to deliver a notice because of changed address for which no notice was given shall be deemed to be effective on the day delivery was first attempted.  Notices given by counsel to Transferor shall be deemed given by Transferor and notices given by counsel to Owner shall be deemed given by Owner.

10.      Successors and Assigns.  Transferor may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Owner, which consent may be withheld in Owner’s sole discretion.  This Agreement may be assigned by Owner without Transferor’s consent to any party that acquires fee ownership of the Property or to a tenant under a ground lease of the Property, and may not otherwise be assigned without the prior written consent of Transferor, which consent may be withheld in Transferor’s sole discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner may collaterally assign this Agreement to the holder of a mortgage

encumbering the Property.  This Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

 

11.      Amendment and Waiver.  This Agreement may not be amended except by a writing signed by both parties nor shall observance of any term of this Agreement be waived except with the written consent of the parties benefiting from such term.  The failure by either party to enforce against the other any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s right to enforce against the other party by the same or any other such term or provision in the future.

 

12.      Definition of Owner.  The term Owner, as used in this Agreement, means, initially, the “Transferee” identified as such in Paragraph C of the “Background” above, and, following assignment in accordance with Paragraph 10 above, the assignee of the Transferee, or subsequent Owner. Following such assignment, Owner shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all its covenants, obligations and liability hereunder except any which accrued prior to such assignment.  Transferor acknowledges and agrees that any assignment shall not serve to terminate or otherwise affect any rights that Owner may have against Transferor pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement that arose during the period Owner was a party to this Agreement, whether such assignment specifically reserves such rights or not.

 

13.      Jurisdiction and Governing Law.  Any judicial proceeding brought against any party in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Connecticut, and, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Transferor and Owner each (a) shall accept, generally and unconditionally, the nonexclusive jurisdiction rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement and (b) irrevocably waive any objection each may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court or that such court is an inconvenient forum.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut without regard to its choice of law provisions.

 

14.      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

15.      Authorization.  Owner and Transferor each warrant and represent to the other that the execution of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action and that the individual signing on its behalf is duly authorized to execute this Agreement.

 

16.      Severability.  Any provision in this Agreement that is held to be illegal or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions and any such illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the parties in accordance with applicable law.

 

17.      Interpretation.  Each party has been represented by its own counsel in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and, consequently, each party hereby waives the application of any rule of law that would otherwise be applicable in connection with the interpretation of this Agreement, including but not limited to any rule of law to the effect that any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against the party that drafted that provision.

 

18.      Headings.  The descriptive headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and in no way limit or enlarge the scope or meaning of the language hereof.

 

15











 

19.      Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement by and between the parties hereto concerning its subject matter and supersedes any and all previous agreements, written or oral, between the parties and affecting the matters covered herein.

 

20.      Estoppel Certificate.  Transferor agrees from time to time, to execute and deliver, within 10 business days from notice of request from Owner, without charge, to Owner and/or any other person designated by Owner, a statement in writing certifying (i) that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, identifying the same by the date thereof); (ii) that to the knowledge of Transferor there exist no defaults or claims against Owner hereunder except for the continuing obligations under this Agreement (or if there be any defaults or claims, specifying the same); (iii) a general statement regarding the status of the Transfer Act obligations or any obligations arising under this Agreement, including, without limitation whether the investigation and/or remediation and/or groundwater monitoring and/or institutional controls have been conducted and/or completed, and, if not, what actions remain to be taken in such regard; (iv) that said statement is for the benefit of the party(ies) to whom it is addressed and Transferor agrees that said statement will be relied upon by said party(ies); and (v) such other matters with respect to the Agreement as may be reasonably requested.
