3

 

Facility Lease), then Buyer may, at any time after the Completion Date, deliver written notice (a “Completion Date Notice”) to Seller.  The Completion Date shall be subject to extensions for delays caused by Force Majeure; provided, however, in the event that: (x) Completion of the Improvements has not occurred by the date that is six (6) months after the Completion Date; or (y) Seller ceases construction of the Improvements for more than one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days following commencement of construction other than for reasons of casualty or Force Majeure; or (z) a default under this Agreement has occurred prior to Closing, then, in any such event, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, as one of its remedies, elect to terminate its obligation to acquire the Property upon written notice to Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, and by written notice to Seller, extend the time requirements set forth in this Section.

Any interest earned on the Deposit, if deposited, shall be paid to Buyer, unless Seller shall be entitled to the Deposit by reason of a default by Buyer, in which case such interest shall be paid to Seller.  Upon expiration of the Due Diligence Period, if Buyer has not terminated this Agreement as provided herein, the Deposit shall become nonrefundable except in the event of a Seller default.  Buyer’s Federal Tax I.D. Number is 80-0941870; Seller’s Federal Tax I.D. Number is 46-4176058.

 

(b)                         An amount equal to the Purchase Price minus the following shall be paid to Seller at Closing (as defined below) in cash:

 

(i)                         the Deposit;

4.                                OPU Issuance; Closing Statement.

 

(a)                     Seller shall have the option to elect to receive the Net Purchase Price in cash or in the form of Partnership Units designated as Common Units (“OPUs”) of Physicians Realty L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership, which is the operating partnership of Physicians Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“DOC”), or a combination thereof; provided, however, Seller acknowledges and agrees that in order for the option to receive OPUs to be available to Seller, Seller must elect to receive at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) of the Net Purchase Price in OPUs and that each member of Seller who elects to receive OPUs (each an “OPU Seller Member” and collectively the “OPU Seller Members”) must agree to receive at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) of Net Purchase Price in OPUs.  If Seller elects to receive all or a portion of the Net Purchase Price in the form of OPUs, then, on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such election and shall confirm for Buyer that the foregoing requirements will be met.

 

(b)                     No later than three (3) business days prior to Closing, Seller shall have delivered to Buyer, a Closing Statement calculated in accordance with Section 3(b) (the “Closing Statement”) in mutually agreed form accurately setting forth the financial terms of this transaction and a summary of the Purchase Price and Net Purchase Price, including (i) legal name of each OPU Seller Member, (ii) the amount of Net Purchase Price in U.S. dollars elected to be received in OPUs by each OPU Seller Member (for each OPU Seller Member, such amount the “Individual OPU Value”) and (ii) the aggregate U.S. dollar amount of the Net Purchase Price elected to be received in OPUs on behalf of all OPU Seller Members (such aggregate amount, the “Aggregate OPU Value”).

 

(c)                      In accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Operating Partnership will issue to the Seller, a number of OPUs equal to the sum of the number of OPUs allocable to all OPU Seller Members determined by dividing each Individual OPU Value on the Closing Statement by the DOC Trading Price (rounded to the nearest whole OPU). The “DOC Trading Price” means the average per share closing price, rounded to two decimal points, of DOC common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (as reported by the Wall Street Journal website, http://quotes.wsj.com/DOC/historical-prices, or its successor) for the period of three (3) consecutive trading days ending on the last full trading day prior to the Closing Date. The Closing Statement will be updated prior to the Closing in accordance with the requirements of this Section 4(c) to list the number of OPUs attributable to each OPU Seller Member and granted to Seller. Such updated Closing Statement shall be the final and binding allocation of OPUs to OPU Seller Members and the Seller.

 

(d)                   Seller shall distribute the OPUs received on the Closing Date to the OPU Seller Members in the amounts listed on the Closing Statement within 90 days of the Closing Date. Seller shall notify Buyer of such distribution within 5 days of its occurrence so that OPUs can be recorded in the name of OPU Seller Members in the books and records of the Operating Partnership. Such distribution from Seller to the OPU Seller Members shall be an in-kind

 

5

 

distribution occurring simultaneous to the distribution of the Net Purchase Price to the members of Seller.

 

5.                                Closing.  Closing shall be held on the date that is thirty (30) days after the later of: (i) the Completion Date, as may be extended for Force Majeure, or (ii) the commencement of the payment of rent by KPHD under the Facility Lease, provided Buyer has waived all of its conditions to close as set forth in Section 8 (the “Closing Date”), or on such earlier date as Buyer shall designate by at least five (5) days advance written notice to Seller, and such Closing shall be an escrow closing with the Title Company (as defined below) acting as the closing escrow agent (“Closing”). It is agreed that the time of Closing and the obligation of Seller to deliver to Buyer the conveyance instrument as may be required under applicable law (the “Conveyance Instrument”) at Closing are of the essence of this Agreement.

 

6.                                Title.  From and after the Effective Date, Buyer shall have the right to order a title insurance commitment prepared in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Title Commitment”).

 

(a)                         The Title Commitment shall be prepared in accordance with the current ALTA Form, issued by First American Title Insurance Company — Milwaukee Office acceptable to Buyer (the “Title Company”), agreeing to issue, upon recording of the Conveyance Instrument, an ALTA owner’s and leasehold title insurance policy to Buyer and an ALTA Lender’s title insurance policy issued to Buyer’s lender(s), if applicable, in the amount of the Purchase Price insuring title to the Real Property to be in the condition called for by this Agreement and containing a “fifty-year chain-of-title search,” a zoning endorsement on ALTA Form 3.1 (with parking), a survey endorsement insuring that the survey accurately depicts the Real Property (including boundaries, improvements, easements and encroachments), a contiguity endorsement, an access endorsement, an endorsement for “gap coverage,” a location endorsement and an owner’s comprehensive endorsement, a utility facilities endorsement, and a tax parcel endorsement.  Seller shall cause the Title Company at or prior to Closing to down date the Title Commitment to the date and time of the recording of the Conveyance Instrument and provide a “title mark-up” showing the final form of the title insurance policy (including the above referenced endorsements) to be issued, which mark-up shall obligate the Title Company to issue the final title insurance policy in such form.  The title mark-up and final title insurance policy shall be free from the standard requirements and exceptions and shall be subject only to liens, encumbrances or exceptions specifically approved by Buyer (the “Permitted  Exceptions”). A written statement of the obligee of the amount of any lien or encumbrance to be discharged by Seller shall be provided by Seller within ten (10) days after the title evidence is furnished to Buyer. The premium for the title policy and any fees for endorsements or other services provided by the Title Company (other than the mortgagee policy, if any) shall be paid by Seller on or before Closing.

 

(b)                         Title Defects. Within ten (10) days of Buyer’s receipt of the latter of the Title Commitment or the Survey (as defined in Section 8(g) below), Buyer shall object in writing to any condition of title not satisfactory to Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion (hereinafter referred

 

6

 

to as a “Title Defect”). If any objection is made, Seller shall have until prior to Closing in which to exercise its best efforts to correct such Title Defect.  Seller’s best efforts requirement in this Section shall, without limitation, obligate Seller to cure any and all Title Defects of an ascertainable monetary value.  If the Title Defect cannot be corrected prior to Closing despite Seller’s best efforts, or as otherwise extended by agreement of Buyer and Seller, Buyer may, at its option, (a) declare this Agreement null and void and as a result Seller shall return the Deposit, together with all accrued interest forthwith to Buyer or (b) elect to accept such title as Seller is able to convey and proceed to Closing.  If Buyer fails to notify Seller that Buyer is terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section within ten (10) business days of the expiration of the 10-day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have selected option (b) in the previous sentence.

 

(c)                          Seller shall transfer to Buyer all of the Personal Property free of all liens and encumbrances.  Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, at least three (3) days prior to Closing, deliver to Buyer documentation from Uniform Commercial Code (“U.C.C.”) searches confirming that there are no U.C.C. filings against Seller which would be a lien on the Property, including the Personal Property, involved in this transaction. The searches must be dated within fifteen (15) days prior to Closing.

 

(d)                         Construction Funding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or elsewhere, Seller shall cause any construction financing and shall also cause any other payment for any construction of the Improvements to be disbursed via the construction lender’s title company.  In addition, prior to Closing, Seller hereby agrees to provide Buyer and the Title Company copies (or originals if required by the Title Company) of full and complete lien waivers from all general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and materialmen who have worked on the Improvements. Seller hereby agrees to cause any exception to Buyer’s title insurance related to construction liens to be deleted.

 

7.                                Representations and Warranties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason whatsoever, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, upon written notice to Seller on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and thereupon this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit, together with accrued interest shall be refunded to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided herein.

 

9.                                Possession.  Possession of the Property shall be given to Buyer at Closing unoccupied and free of any leases except the Facility Lease.  Prior to Closing hereunder, Seller shall clean the Property of trash, debris, equipment, vehicles, toxic materials, and signs (except to the extent such signs are specifically permitted in the Facility Lease or consented to in writing by Buyer), whether on the surface or buried below.

 

17

 

10.        Prorations and Charges.

 

(a)                         All general real estate and personal property taxes shall be prorated through the day before the Closing based on the taxes for the year that the Closing is in, if known, otherwise on the prior year’s taxes.  Seller shall be responsible for all real estate taxes through the day prior to the Closing.  In the event taxes are prorated on the prior year’s taxes, the parties agree to reprorate taxes when the taxes for the current year are known, and the parties agree to make such payment between themselves to effectuate such reproration.  Assessments of any kind (general, special or otherwise) levied or to be levied, if any, for work on site actually commenced or announced (by either a private individual or entity or a governmental entity) prior to Closing shall be paid by Seller at or prior to Closing.  All other assessments shall be paid by Buyer if this transaction is consummated.

 

(b)                         In addition, the following items shall be prorated through the day before Closing and shown as credits to Buyer on the Closing Statement, as applicable: all rents and other payments payable to Seller under the Facility Lease (regardless of whether such payments have actually been made to Seller); all utility charges (as applicable), including, but not limited to, sewer, water, electricity, gas, telephone and other private and municipal charges (collectively “Utility Charges”).  Seller shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary billing information for the Utility Charges in order to accurately reflect the same on the Closing Statement.  Seller shall be responsible for collecting any rents or other payments payable to Seller under the Facility Lease regardless of whether Buyer has received a credit against the Purchase Price related to such unpaid amounts owed to Seller.  Income derived from the Property that is earned as of the day of Closing shall accrue to the benefit of Buyer.

 

(c)                          At Closing, Seller shall pay to Buyer any and all funds paid to Seller by KPHD on account of additional rent items not yet due and payable by Seller, such as tax and insurance escrows.  Seller shall make such payment in the form of a credit against the Purchase Price in favor of Buyer.

 

(d)                         Seller shall pay all transfer taxes associated with the conveyance of the Property and all recording fees customarily paid by Sellers in the locality where the Property is located.  Seller shall be responsible for the payment of title fees and premiums associated with the Title Policy.  All other closing expenses shall be allocated between the parties in the customary manner for sales of real property in the locality where the Property is located. Each party is responsible for paying its own respective attorneys’ fees incurred in negotiating, preparing and closing the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(e)                          All rights, privileges, income, rents, liabilities, obligations, expenses and costs relating to the assignment and transfer of the Contract Rights, Records and Plans, Warranties and Licenses and Permits shall be paid by Seller at Closing, if any.

 

(f)                           Any and all other normal, on-going operating expenses attributable to the Property, except to the extent any of the same relate to the Contract Rights excluded from the Property pursuant to Section 8(d) of this Agreement, shall be prorated between the parties through the day before Closing.

 

18

 

(g)                          Within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall reconcile all of the foregoing payments and prorations based on actual bills or invoices received after the Closing, but only if the prorations or payments were based on an estimate and not actual current bills or invoices.  In the event that any item of income, charge, or expense cannot be reconciled accurately within such 90-day period, the Buyer and Seller hereby agree to delay such reconciliation until a date when it can be accurately completed.  Any party owing to the other party any amount ascertained by the required reconciliations shall promptly, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after the date of the applicable reconciliation, pay the other party  such amount.  The obligations set forth in this Section 10(g) shall survive Closing.

 

As applicable, all of the foregoing items set forth in this Section 10, unless otherwise expressly stated, shall be prorated between the parties as of midnight of the day before Closing.

 

11.                         Condemnation; Rezoning, Historic Designation.  Seller represents and warrants that Seller has not heretofore received any notice of any eminent domain or condemnation proceeding in connection with the Property.  If prior to Closing any such eminent domain or condemnation proceeding is commenced or any change is made, or proposed to be made to: (i) any portion or all of the Property; (ii) the current means of ingress and egress to the Property; or (iii) to the roads or driveways adjoining the Property, Seller agrees immediately to notify Buyer in writing thereof.  Buyer then shall have the right, at Buyer’s option, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller prior to Closing.  If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 11, then the Deposit, shall be immediately returned to Buyer together with all accrued interest, Buyer and Seller shall be released from any further liability hereunder and this Agreement shall be null and void.  If Buyer does not so terminate this Agreement, Buyer shall proceed to Closing hereunder as if no such proceeding had commenced and will pay Seller the full Purchase Price in accordance with this Agreement, and Seller shall assign to Buyer all of its right, title and interest in and to any compensation for such condemnation.  Seller shall not negotiate or settle any claims for compensation prior to Closing, and Buyer shall have the sole right (in the name of Buyer or Seller or both) to negotiate for, to agree to, and to contest all offers and awards.

 

If, prior to closing, there is a designation of the Real Property (and/or any improvement located thereon) or any portion thereof as a historic structure or other historic designation, or is threatened, commenced or finalized, or there is a threatened, commenced or finalized rezoning of the Real Property, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer, and Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement prior to Closing, in which event the Deposit and all accrued interest thereon shall be returned forthwith to Buyer, Buyer and Seller shall be released from any further liability hereunder and this Agreement shall be null and void. If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and at Closing Seller shall assign to Buyer all Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any dollars paid by the governmental authority (if any) in connection with the rezoning of the Real Property or historic designation.

 

12.                         Default by Buyer.  If Buyer, without the right to do so and in default of its obligations hereunder, fails to complete Closing as to the Property, the Deposit and all accrued

 

19

 

interest shall be paid to Seller.  Such payment of the Deposit and all accrued interest to Seller shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for Buyer’s default and the receipt of same shall be Seller’s exclusive and sole remedy; and Seller hereby waives any right to recover the balance of the Purchase Price, or any part thereof, and the right to pursue any other remedy permitted at law or in equity against Buyer.  The parties agree that it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual damages suffered by Seller as a result of Buyer’s failure to complete the purchase of the Property pursuant to this Agreement, and that under the circumstances existing as of the date of this Agreement, the liquidated damages provided for in this Section represent a reasonable estimate of the damages which Seller will incur as a result of such failure.  The parties acknowledge that the payment of such liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty under any legal or equitable theory, but is intended to constitute liquidated damages to Seller.

 

13.                         Default by Seller. If Seller defaults in the performance of any obligation contained in this Agreement or, without the right to do so and in default of its obligations hereunder, fails to complete Closing, the Deposit and all accrued interest shall be returned to Buyer, and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all of Buyer’s reasonable costs incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.  Alternatively, Buyer shall have the right to seek specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement.  Seller waives the right to assert the defense of lack of mutuality in any action for specific performance instituted by Buyer.  Seller shall have no right to cure any default.

 

14.                         Risk of Loss.

 

Seller shall bear the risk of all loss or damage to the Property from all causes until Closing.  Seller represents that it has, and will maintain pending Closing, a builder’s risk policy and a policy of fire and extended coverage insurance in at least the full amount of the replacement cost of all buildings and improvements located on the Property.  Seller will cause the insurer to add Buyer’s name to the policy as an additional insured, as its interest may appear.  Seller will deliver to Buyer within five (5) days after the Effective Date a certificate issued by such insurer evidencing that such policy is in effect, that it will not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days prior notice to Buyer and that Buyer has been named as an additional named insured thereunder.  If at any time prior to Closing any portion of the Property is destroyed or damaged as a result of fire or any other casualty whatsoever, Seller shall promptly give written notice thereof to Buyer and Buyer shall have the right:  (i) to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, whereupon Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit (with any accrued interest), to Buyer, and thereafter this Agreement shall be void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder; or (ii) to proceed with this Agreement and to notify Seller that, at Buyer’s sole option, Seller either shall:  (A) use any available insurance proceeds to restore the Property prior to Closing to its condition as of the Effective Date, and if there are any excess insurance proceeds after completion of such restoration, Seller shall promptly deposit same in escrow with Escrow Agent and such funds, together

 

20

 

with any interest thereon, shall be disbursed to Buyer at Closing; or (B) in lieu of restoration, prior to Closing, clear the site of debris and deposit all remaining insurance proceeds in escrow with Escrow Agent and such funds, together with interest thereon, shall be disbursed to Buyer at Closing.  All unpaid claims and rights in connection with any such losses shall be assigned to Buyer at Closing without in any manner affecting the Purchase Price.  In the event Buyer elects to proceed under clause (ii)(A) or (ii)(B) above, Seller shall either expend the deductible amount provided for in such insurance coverage in making such restoration or clearing the Property, as the case may be, or give Buyer a credit therefore against the Purchase Price.

 

15.                         Brokerage.  Each party represents and warrants to the other that neither has dealt with any broker, agent, finder or other intermediary in connection with this sale and purchase. Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Buyer harmless from and against any broker’s claim arising from any breach by Seller of Seller’s representation and warranty in this Section 15.  Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any broker’s claim arising from any breach by Buyer of Buyer’s representation and warranty in this Section 15.

 

16.                         Operation of the Property Prior to Closing.  Prior to Closing:

 

(a)                         Upon reasonable notice, Buyer, its accountants, architects, attorneys, engineers, contractors and other representatives shall be afforded access to:  (i)  the Property to inspect, measure, appraise, test and make surveys of the Property, including, but not limited to, all activities necessary to satisfy the contingencies set forth in this Section 16 and elsewhere in this Agreement; and (ii) all books, records and files relating to the Property.  Buyer shall have the right, at Buyer’s expense, to make copies of all such books and records, including, without limitation, all books and records relating to increases in real estate taxes, building and operations maintenance costs; provided, however, that Buyer shall return all copies of such books and records if Closing does not occur under this Agreement.  Buyer shall not interfere unreasonably with the operation of the Property and shall restore any area on the Property disturbed in the course of Buyer’s testing to the conditions existing prior to any tests conducted by Buyer.

 

(b)                         Seller shall comply with all of the obligations of Seller, as landlord under the  Facility Lease, and all other agreements and contractual arrangements affecting the Property by which Seller is bound.

 

(c)                          Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of Seller’s receipt of any notice from any party alleging that Seller is in default of its obligations under the  Facility Lease, the Ground Lease, or any permit or agreement affecting the Property, or any portion or portions thereof.

 

(d)                         No contract for or on behalf of or affecting the Property shall be negotiated or entered into which cannot be terminated by Seller prior to Closing without charge, cost, penalty or premium.

 

(e)                          Seller shall not enter into any new leases for any portion of the Property.  Further, except with the prior written consent of Buyer, Seller shall not amend, modify, extend, terminate, and accept surrender of the Facility Lease or the Ground Lease. Seller shall not accept any rental more than one (1) month in advance or accelerate the rent due to any default under the

 

21

 

Facility Lease; provided, however, Seller may enforce all rights and remedies under the Facility Lease, including drawing on any letter of credit if KPHD defaults under the Facility Lease.

 

(f)                           From the Effective Date until Closing, Seller shall maintain the Contract Rights, Records and Plans, Warranties, and Licenses and Permits in full force and effect as applicable and shall not terminate, modify or waive any provision thereof, except in the ordinary course of business as part of the construction of the Improvements.  Seller shall provide Buyer with copies of any notices it is required to provide to KPHD under the Facility Lease and Seller shall also provide Buyer with copies of any notices it is required to provide any lender who is providing construction financing for the construction of the MOB. Seller shall not enter into any new contracts or agreements relating to the Property without Buyer’s prior written consent, unless such agreements are pursuant to the Facility Lease or necessarily required thereunder.

 

17.                         Notice.  All notices, requests and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered: (i) in person; or (ii) by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested; or (iii) by recognized overnight delivery service providing positive tracking of items (for example, Federal Express); or (iv) by electronic transmission (so long as one of methods (i), (ii) or (iii) are simultaneously utilized) addressed as follows or at such other address of which Seller or Buyer shall have given notice as herein provided:

18.                         Indemnity by Seller.

 

(a)                         Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its officers, agents, employees, and tenants from and against, and to reimburse Buyer with respect to any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) asserted against or incurred by Buyer by reason of or arising out of: (a) a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in this Agreement; (b) the failure of Seller to perform any obligation required by this Agreement to be performed by it; and (c) the ownership, maintenance, operation, management and use of the Property prior to Closing,

 

23

 

including without limitation any payment or nonpayment on account of the operating expenses for the Property by the tenants under any leases.

 

(b)                         In addition to the indemnity in Subsection 18(a), Seller shall also indemnify and hold Buyer, its officers, agents, employees, and tenants harmless from and against any and all damages claims, demands, causes of action, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) asserted against or incurred by Buyer resulting in any way from: (i) the Property not complying (at any time prior to Closing) with any Environmental Law governing the Property and the condition of its soil, subsoil, ground water, and other related aspects of the Property; and (ii) any migration “off-site” of Hazardous Substances from or through the Property prior to Closing; and (iii) any spills, leaks, seepage, migration, burial, remediation, emission, or discharge of Hazardous Substances caused or permitted by Seller, its agents, employees, invitees or tenants that occurs or occurred on or into the Property prior to Closing and that continues to remain on the Property or that migrates, leaches, seeps or otherwise is transported through soil, air or water (of any kind) on or off of the Property after Closing.

 

(c)                                  Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its officers, agents, employees, and tenants from and against, and to reimburse Seller with respect to any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) asserted against or incurred by Seller by reason of or arising out of: (a) a breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer set forth in this Agreement; (b) the failure of Buyer to perform any obligation required by this Agreement to be performed by it; (c) the ownership, maintenance, operation, management and use of the Property after Closing; and (d) Buyer’s access to the Property for the purpose of making such investigations, inspections, tests, assessments, surveys and the like in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement.

 

19.                         Further Assurances.  After Closing, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, Seller shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, for no further consideration, all assignments, transfers, deeds and other documents as Buyer may reasonably request to vest in Buyer and perfect Buyer’s right, title and interest in and to the Property.

 

20.                         Tax Treatment of Transaction.

 

(a)                                 Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement will, for United States federal income tax purposes, be treated as an “assets-over” merger of Seller into Buyer within the meaning of Section 1.708-1(c)(3)(i) of the Regulations with Buyer being treated as the continuing partnership and Seller being treated as the terminated partnership.  Seller will be treated as transferring all of its assets to Buyer in exchange for OPUs and cash with Seller then liquidating and (i) pursuant to Section 1.708-1(c)(4) of the Regulations, the members of Seller will be treated as selling a portion of their respective interests in Seller to the extent (but only to the extent) of the cash received by each such member, while (ii) the portion of Seller’s assets not deemed to be purchased pursuant to clause (i) will be deemed to be contributed to Buyer in exchange for the OPUs.  Buyer shall make an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code with respect to the portion of the interests in Seller which Buyer is deemed to purchase pursuant to the preceding sentence. To the extent

 

24

 

that Buyer is not deemed to purchase interests in Seller pursuant to this Section 19, the transaction shall, for United States federal income tax purposes, be treated as a non-taxable transfer of property by Seller to Buyer in exchange for OPUs pursuant to Section 721 of the Code.  Seller agrees to wind up, dissolve and transfer the Net Purchase Price, including OPUs, to its OPU Seller Members at least seventy (75) days following but not more than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date.  Seller and Buyer will file their tax return on a basis consistent with the foregoing.

 

(b)                                 Seller has timely filed all tax returns relating to the Property that it was required to file in accordance with applicable laws (taking into account any valid extensions of time for filing), and each such tax return is accurate and complete in all material respects.  Seller has timely paid all taxes due with respect to the taxable periods covered by such tax returns and all other taxes arising in connection with or relating to the Property (whether or not shown on any tax return).  Seller has not requested any extension of time within which to file any tax return relating to the Property which has not since been filed.  Seller does not and will not have additional liability for taxes with respect to any tax return which was required by applicable laws to be filed on or before the Closing Date. There are no liens on any of the assets of Seller that arose in connection with any failure or alleged failure (whether or not in writing) to pay any tax.  All taxes arising in connection with or relating to the Property that Seller is required by law to withhold or collect (including sales and use taxes and amounts required to be withheld or collected in connection with any amount paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor or other person) have been duly withheld or collected and, to the extent required by applicable law, have been paid over to the proper taxing authority.  No tax audits or other tax proceedings with respect to taxes arising in connection with or relating to the Property are pending or being conducted, nor has Seller received any notice from any governmental authority that any such audit or other tax proceeding is pending, threatened or contemplated.  There is no claim or assessment pending, or threatened against Seller for any alleged deficiency in taxes arising in connection with or relating to the Property.  Seller does not have any tax liabilities (whether due or to become due) with respect to the Property, Seller’s operations or Seller’s assets, that will be required under local laws or otherwise to be assumed by Buyer.  Seller has not waived any statute of limitations with respect to taxes arising in connection with or relating to the Property or agreed to an extension of time with respect to any tax assessment or deficiency arising in connection with or relating to the Property.  Seller is not a party to, or bound by, any tax allocation or sharing agreement, tax indemnity obligation or similar contract or practice with respect to taxes arising in connection with or relating to the Property.  Seller has not made any election to be excluded from the provisions of subchapter K of the Code or to be taxable as a corporation.  Seller has not entered into any “reportable transaction” arising in connection with or relating to the Property within the meaning of Section 6011 of the Code.

 

21.                         Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                         All of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, all covenants, agreements and indemnities made herein, and all obligations to be performed under the provisions of this Agreement shall survive Closing.

 

25

 

(b)                         This Agreement shall be void and of no force or effect if not executed by Seller and delivered to Buyer or Buyer’s attorney within seven (7) business days after execution by Buyer and delivery to Seller.

 

(c)                          The “captions” or “headings” in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof.

 

(d)                         Buyer shall have the right to assign this Agreement, and upon notice from Buyer, Seller agrees to convey the Property directly to Buyer’s assignee provided that Buyer and/or assignee have fulfilled Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement.  Seller shall not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer.  Any assignment of this Agreement by Seller without Buyer’s prior written consent shall be null and void, and of no force or effect.

 

(e)                          This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

 

(f)                           This Agreement, including the exhibits attached hereto, contains the entire agreement as to the Property between Seller and Buyer; and there are no other terms, obligations, covenants, representations, statements or conditions, oral or otherwise, of any kind whatsoever concerning this sale and purchase.  This Agreement shall not be altered, amended, changed or modified except in writing executed by the parties hereto.

 

(g)                          This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Washington, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws provisions.

 

(h)                         All parties to this Agreement having participated fully and equally in the negotiation and preparation hereof, this Agreement shall not be more strictly construed, or any ambiguities within this Agreement resolved, against either party hereto.  It is the intent of Buyer and Seller that this Agreement be binding on both parties and not illusory. Thus, wherever this Agreement grants Buyer or Seller discretion, which might otherwise make this Agreement illusory, the party exercising its discretion must act reasonably according to commercial standards.

 

(i)                             Subject to any tenants’ rights to the Property, Seller shall deliver occupancy of the Property to Buyer at Closing.

 

(j)                            Time is of the essence of this Agreement and Buyer and Seller hereby agree that the times provided for in this contract are reasonable times for each party to complete its respective obligations. If any of the times provided for in this Agreement fall on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, said times shall automatically extend to the next full business day.

 

(k)                         This Agreement may be executed or amended in counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

26

 

(l)                             If any of the terms or conditions contained herein shall be declared to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remaining provisions and conditions of this Agreement, or the application of such to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is declared invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect and shall be valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted by law.

 

(m)                     After the Closing, at the request of Buyer and at Buyer’s expense, Seller shall make available to Buyer the historical financial information in Seller’s possession regarding the operation of the Property to the extent required by Buyer in order to prepare stand-alone audited financial statements for such operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as of the end of fiscal year 2013, and any required subsequent date or period, and to cooperate (at Buyer’s expense) with Buyer and any auditor engaged by Buyer for such purpose.

 

22.                         Disclosure.  No party may make public disclosure with respect to this transaction before the Closing except:

 

(a)                         as may be required by law, including without limitation disclosure required under securities laws, or by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or by the rules of any stock exchange;

 

(b)                         to such title insurance companies, lenders, attorneys, accountants, partners, directors, officers, employees and representatives of any party or of such party’s advisors who need to know such information for the purpose of evaluating and consummating the transaction, including the financing of the transaction; and

4.                                      Title.

 

(a)                                 Title Commitment.  Acquirer has obtained a title insurance commitment prepared in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Title Commitment”) and with the current ALTA Form, issued by First American Title Insurance Company — Milwaukee Office (the “Title Company”), agreeing to issue an ALTA owner’s title insurance policy to Acquirer. in the amount of the Consideration insuring title to the Real Property to be in the condition called for by this Agreement and containing a “fifty-year chain-of-title search,” a zoning endorsement on ALTA Form 3.1 (with parking), a survey endorsement insuring that the survey accurately depicts the Real Property (including boundaries, improvements, easements and encroachments), a contiguity endorsement, an access endorsement, an endorsement for “gap coverage,” a location endorsement and an owner’s comprehensive endorsement, a utility facilities endorsement, and a tax parcel endorsement.  Acquirer shall cause the Title Company at or prior to Closing to down date the Title Commitment to the date and time of the recording of the Deed and provide a “title mark-up” showing the final form of the title insurance policy (including the above referenced endorsements) to be issued, which mark-up shall obligate the Title Company to issue the final title insurance policy (“Title Policy”) in such form.  The title mark-up and final title insurance

policy shall be free from the standard requirements and exceptions and shall be subject only to liens, encumbrances or exceptions specifically approved by Acquirer (the “Permitted Exceptions”).  A written statement of the obligee of the amount of any lien or encumbrance to be discharged by Contributor shall be provided by Contributor prior to closing.  The premium for the title policy and any fees for endorsements or other services provided by the Title Company shall be paid by Acquirer on or before Closing.

 

(b)                                 Title Objections.  On or before the January 28, 2015, Acquirer shall object in writing to any condition of title not satisfactory to Acquirer, in Acquirer’s sole discretion (hereinafter referred to as a “Title Defect”) and any matters of title not timely objected to by Acquirer shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions. If Acquirer so objects, Closing shall be postponed for up to 10 business days (the “Correction Period”) pending correction of Title Objections. Except as expressly stated in this paragraph, Contributor shall not be obligated to correct such Title Defects or to expend any funds in connection therewith, provided, however, Contributor shall be obligated to cure any and all Title Defects constituting voluntary liens of Contributor or the Company by payment thereof at the time of Closing.  If any Title Defect cannot be corrected within the Correction Period , Acquirer may, at its option, (a) declare this Agreement null and void and as a result the Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit together with all accrued interest forthwith to Acquirer or (b) elect to accept such title as Contributor is able to convey and proceed to Closing.  If Acquirer fails to notify Contributor that Acquirer is terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section within two (2)business days of the expiration of the Correction Period, Acquirer shall be deemed to have selected option (b) in the previous sentence and the Parties shall immediately proceed to Closing.

 

(c)                                  Personal Property.  At Closing, the Personal Property shall be free of all liens and encumbrances.

 

5.                                      Closing.

 

(a)                                 Time and Place.  Closing shall be held on January 29, 2015,  (the “Closing Date”). Closing shall be an escrow closing with the Title Company (as defined below) acting as the closing escrow agent (“Closing”).  It is agreed that the time of Closing and the obligation of Contributor to deliver the Acquired Assets to Acquirer at Closing are of the essence of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Contributor’s Actions at Closing.  At Closing, Contributor and the Company, as applicable, shall deliver to Acquirer duly executed originals of the following:

 

(i)                                     Assignments from each Contributor in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G granting and conveying to Acquirer good and indefeasible title to the Acquired Assets, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, duly executed by each Contributor.

 

(ii)                                  A certificate that consents of the parties to the Contract Rights, Licenses and Permits are not required to complete the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

 

(iii)                               A Non-foreign Person Certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, as required under Section 1445 of the Code.

(iv)                              A certificate certifying that the representations and warranties of Contributor, as set forth in this Agreement, are true and correct in all respects as of the Closing, provided each such certificate shall be limited to those representations and warranties that are specifically applicable to each Contributor.

 

(v)                                 A resignation letter executed by each of the officers and managers of the Company, in form reasonably acceptable to Acquirer;

 

(vi)                              a Preferred Stock Pledge (the “Pledge”) and Promissory Note (“Note”) in forms reasonably acceptable to each Contributor and Acquirer, executed by each Contributor;

 

(vii)                           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall provide Acquirer original and complete waivers of any and all existing rights of first refusal or rights of first offer that are triggered by the transaction described in this Agreement, options to purchase or any other similar rights (including, but not limited to, any and all consents), executed by the necessary parties, so that Contributor is able to freely transfer the Acquired Assets and the Property to Acquirer unencumbered by such rights.

 

(viii)                        Originals of the following instruments, documents and other items (or copies if originals are unavailable):

6.                                      Representations and Warranties.

 

(a)                                 Contributor’s Representations and Warranties.  Each Contributor represents and warrants that all each of Contributor’s representations and warranties set forth in this Section 6(a) are true, correct and complete as of the Effective Date of this Agreement and shall be deemed reaffirmed as true, correct and complete as of Closing, subject to matters first occurring after the Effective Date that are disclosed to Acquirer by each Contributor.  Each Contributor acknowledges that the representations and warranties made in this Section 6(a) by such Contributor are a material inducement to Acquirer’s entering into this Agreement and purchasing the Acquired Assets and that Acquirer is entitled to rely upon these representations and warranties despite any and all investigation undertaken by Acquirer.  All of each Contributor’s representations and warranties set forth in this Section 6(a) shall survive the Closing of the transactions contemplated herein for a period of twelve (12) months, after which they will terminate and be of no further force or effect.  Any claim for breach of either Contributor’s representations, warranties or covenants, including the indemnities stated below, must be brought by Acquirer within such twelve (12) month period or it is waived.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) the amount which may be recovered by Acquirer for breach of the representations and warranties of each Contributor or the Company as stated in subparagraphs (xii)—(xxi), inclusive, (xxiii) and (xxvii)-(xxx), inclusive, below, shall not exceed $500,000.00 in the aggregate; (ii) and Acquirer is deemed to waive all claims with respect to such representations and warranties except to the extent such claims exceed $25,000.00 in the aggregate; provided, however, the $500,000 cap set forth in the preceding subsection (i) shall not apply to claims for fraud, intentional misrepresentation, and breaches of representations and warranties with respect to environmental matters.  Acquirer is purchasing the Acquired Assets and acquiring the Property based upon Acquirer’s own investigation and inquiry and, except for the express representations, warranties and covenants of each Contributor stated in this Agreement and the documents delivered by each Contributor at Closing, is not relying on any representation or warranty of either Contributor, each

 

8

 

Contributor’s agents or other persons for whom either Contributor is legally responsible and is purchasing the Acquired Assets and the Property “As Is and Where Is.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acquirer shall have no claim against either Contributor with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 6(a) if Acquirer had actual knowledge that a representation or warranty was or may be untrue and inaccurate or incorrect as of the time of Closing and Acquirer nevertheless chose to proceed with Closing hereunder.

 

Whenever in this Agreement a representation or warranty of Contributor or the Company is based on the “Contributor’s knowledge” or words of similar import or is made solely by the company, such reference shall be deemed to be to the actual knowledge of Mark A. Davis, without investigation or inquiry of any kind.  Contributor hereby represents and warrants that Mark A. Davis is the Chief Manager of Mtka Medical and the President of the Company, and is in a position to know about, and has the most knowledge of, the subject matter of the representations and warranties made by Contributor in this Agreement.  There shall be no personal liability to Mark A. Davis arising out of said representations or warranties.  No knowledge of parties affiliated with, employed by, or related by agency to Contributor or the Company other than those persons specifically named above, shall be imputed to Contributor or to the above-named persons.  Each of the undersigned Contributors makes the representations and warranties in this Agreement solely as to itself and not as to any other Contributor; and the liability of each Contributor for breach of the representations and warranties in this Agreement is limited to such Contributor’s Ownership Percentage of the total liabilities or damages recoverable by Acquirer for the breach of such representations or warranties.

Contributor shall deliver an affidavit to that effect to the Title Company at Closing and Contributor shall provide Acquirer with appropriate, full and complete lien waivers from any and all contractors, sub-contractors, laborers or materialmen furnishing labor or material for the improvement of the Real Property during the six months (or other applicable period for the filing of liens) preceding the date of Closing or other evidence of lien free completion acceptable to the Title Company.

 

(xxxi)     The Property constitutes all of the trade or business assets of the Company, with the exception of the Company’s bank accounts and cash assets, which are not part of the Property and shall be retained by and distributed to Contributor’s Members prior to Closing.

 

(b)           Acquirer’s Representations and Warranties.

 

Acquirer makes the following representations and warranties and agrees that Contributor’s obligations under this Agreement are conditioned upon the truth and accuracy of such representations and warranties, both as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date:

 

(i)            Acquirer has the full right and capacity to enter into this Agreement, consummate or cause to be consummated the sale and purchase, execute all other

 

16

 

instruments contemplated herein, and make or cause to be made the transfers and assignments contemplated herein.  The person signing this Agreement on behalf of Acquirer is authorized to do so.

 

(ii)           There is no agreement to which Acquirer is a party or to Acquirer’s knowledge binding on Acquirer which is in conflict with this Agreement.

 

(c)           Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  The representations and warranties contained in this Sections 6 and the provisions of this Agreement that contemplate performance after the Closing shall, to the extent not actually known by the warrantee to be inaccurate as of the Closing, survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of such Closing, but shall be subject to all of the conditions and limitations stated in this Section 6.

 

7.             Delivery of Disclosure Materials; Due Diligence Period; Companion Agreements.

 

(a)           Delivery of Disclosure Materials.  Within five (5) business days of the Effective Date, the Company shall either (A) deliver via e-mail to Acquirer, attention Mr. Mark Theine at mdt@docreit.com, (B) make available via data room access to Mr. Mark Theine, or (C) make available to Acquirer at the Company’s office, the items listed on Schedule 7.1 attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein that are in Contributor’s possession or control (the “Disclosure Materials”).

 

(b)           Due Diligence Period.  For the purposes of this Agreement the term “Due Diligence Period” shall mean the period ending on January 28, 2015.  The obligation of Acquirer under this Agreement to accept the Acquired Assets from Contributor is contingent on the satisfaction of the following conditions within each condition’s respective time-period (any one of which may be waived in whole or in part by Acquirer within each condition’s time period):

 

(i)            Within the Due Diligence Period, Acquirer reviewing and verifying that the Leases are in every respect acceptable to Acquirer, including, without limitation, that the Leases are net leases and that the net income from the Property, will be at least $1,516,100.00 for the 365 day period beginning on the Closing Date, taking into account the credit to be received by Acquirer under the last sentence of Section 9 (b).  Additionally, Contributor shall deliver to Acquirer, within the Due Diligence Period, a duly executed original of a certificate from the tenant under the North Memorial Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (“Estoppel Certificate”).  If the North Memorial Lease  is not acceptable to Acquirer, or if the Estoppel Certificates have not been delivered to Acquirer in the required form or in a form otherwise acceptable to Acquirer within the aforesaid time period, then Acquirer, at its option, may terminate this Agreement by delivering notice of such termination to Contributor; and in such event the Deposit and all accrued interest shall be returned to Acquirer and this Agreement thereupon shall become void and there shall be no further obligations or liability on any of the parties hereto.

 

(ii)           Prior to Closing, Acquirer and Mark A. Davis shall have agreed upon the terms and conditions of an amended and restated operating agreement for the Company (the “A/R Operating Agreement”).  Acquirer shall be the manager of the Company, with full

 

17

 

authority to transact the Company’s business.  Mark A. Davis shall have limited governance rights and no responsibility for the operations of the Company or the Property.  Mark A. Davis shall be entitled to quarterly distributions of net cash flow from the Company.  Mark A. Davis shall have the right to require the redemption of its limited liability company membership interests in the Company in increments of value of at least $100,000 (or the remainder of its limited liability company membership interests if valued at less than $100,000), on a semi-annual basis (January 1 and July 1 of each year) upon written notice to the Company at least sixty (60) days prior to the applicable redemption date.  The purchase price for such redemption shall be the “Fair Value” of the redeemed limited liability company membership interests in the Company as of the applicable redemption date, which shall be determined by using the then-current fair market value of the Property owned by the Company minus then-outstanding principal balance of all debt encumbering the Property.  The fair market value of the Company shall be determined using the then-applicable forward-looking twelve (12) month net operating income of each Property, adjusted for vacancy and other customary factors (e.g., leases with less than 5 years remaining in the term), and applying a market capitalization rate based on the then-current 10-Year U.S. Treasury Rate plus 450 basis points, or such other objective benchmark for Class A medical office buildings, but not applying minority discounts to such limited liability company membership interests.  Alternatively, “Fair Value” of the limited liability company membership interests in the Company as of the applicable redemption date may be determined by a qualified third party appraiser based generally on the foregoing principles, which appraisal would apply for all redemptions until the next annual appraisal is obtained.

 

(iii)          Within the Due Diligence Period, Acquirer and Davis Real Estate Services Group, LLC, (“DRESG”) shall have agreed upon the terms and conditions of a property management agreement (the “Property Management Agreement”), pursuant to which DRESG will provide property management and leasing services for the Property to the same extent currently provided by DRESG.  The terms and conditions of the Property Management Agreement shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of the Company’s current property management agreement with DRESG, including property management fees, through the in-place Leases and leases subsequently approved by Acquirer and the Company during the term of the Property Management Agreement.  The Property Management Agreement shall include such other terms and conditions as are customary in the market where the Property is located, the right to terminate the Property Management Agreement for cause, and audit rights for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, as reasonably necessary for Acquirer’s publicly traded company reporting requirements.  DRESG will be entitled to leasing commissions for new and renewal leases, pursuant to an agreed upon leasing commission schedule to be included in the Property Management Agreement, and otherwise consistent with leasing commissions payable in the market where the Property is located, less any third party leasing commissions payable in connection with such new leases and Lease renewals.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acquirer shall assume and have responsibility for cash management and accounting asset management services for the Property pursuant to a separate asset management agreement (the “Asset Management Agreement”), with the responsibilities of DRESG under the Property Management Agreement and the responsibilities of Acquirer under the Asset Management Agreement allocated as set forth in the Commercial Property Management and Leasing Agreement between the Operating Partnership and DRESG dated January 22, 2015.  As compensation and reimbursement for Acquirer’s cash management and accounting asset management services, Acquirer shall be entitled to retain (and the Company shall pay to or

 

18

 

reimburse Acquirer) twenty percent (20%) of the property management fees payable to DRESG under the Property Management Agreement.  The initial terms of the Property Management Agreement and Asset Management Agreement shall be five (5) years each and shall be co-terminous, provided the terms of each such Agreement shall be extended upon the terms and conditions stated in the Letter of Intent between DOC and DRESG dated December 18, 2014.

 

(iv)                              No later than three (3) business days prior to the Closing, each Contributor shall have executed and delivered to the Operating Partnership, the documents listed on Exhibit “F” attached hereto (the “Ancillary Documents”).

 

(v)                                 Within the Due Diligence Period, Acquirer verifying that the Property (including the Contract Rights, Records and Plans, Warranties and Licenses and Permits) and all information provided to Acquirer by Contributor or the Company pursuant to this Agreement and all information that is available to Acquirer relating to the Property and the transactions contemplated herein, including, but not limited to, the Disclosure Materials (as defined below) is in every respect acceptable to Acquirer based on an investigation and review by Acquirer, its agents and contractors of the Property.  If any Contract Rights are unacceptable to Acquirer, Acquirer may elect to exclude any such items from the Property to be transferred hereunder by delivering written notice thereof to Contributor no later than the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and the Company shall terminate any such items, as applicable, with respect to the Property as of the Closing to the extent the same may be terminated pursuant to the terms thereof.  This contingency shall also include, without limitation, Acquirer obtaining, at Acquirer’s expense before expiration of the Due Diligence Period, a physical inspection of the Property, which discloses no “Defects,” as that term is defined herein.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Defect” is defined as a condition or conditions, or evidence of a condition or conditions, that has the potential to: (i) impair the health or safety of occupants of the Property; (ii) result in the violation of any applicable public or private law, standard or covenant; or (iii) cost, in the aggregate, an amount in excess of $5,000 to repair, correct, or remediate.

 

(vi)                              Within the Due Diligence Period, Acquirer obtaining, at Acquirer’s expense, written environmental assessments and/or evaluations of the Property (including “Phase I” assessments and, if Acquirer deems necessary, and with Contributor’s prior written consent, “Phase II” assessments, including laboratory testing of soil, water and other substances) from qualified environmental consultants of Acquirer’s choice, confirming that: (i) the Property complies with all Environmental Laws; (ii) there are no liabilities (potential, contingent or otherwise) affecting the Property arising under any Environmental Laws; (iii) there are no underground or aboveground storage tanks, associated pipes or equipment located on or at the Real Property; (iv) there are no Hazardous Substances on, under, at, in or migrating to or from the Real Property in violation of Environmental Laws; (v) no portion of the Real Property has been designated as wetland, shoreland, floodplain or conservancy land in a location or manner unacceptable to Acquirer; (vi) no portion of the Real Property has been filled, except in compliance with applicable law and specifications for the improvements located thereon; and (viii) the Property is not affected in any manner or degree by a “recognized environmental condition” (as that phrase is defined by the most recent American Society for Testing and Materials practice standards).

 

(vii)                           Within the Due Diligence Period, Acquirer verifying to Acquirer’s satisfaction that all applicable public and private laws, rules, standards, covenants and

 

19

 

requirements, including, without limitation, all zoning, subdivision, building and use restrictions and all easements and matters of record, allow the conveyance of the Acquired Assets from Contributor to Acquirer, and are consistent with Acquirer’s Intended Use; Acquirer obtaining, or Acquirer verifying to Acquirer’s satisfaction that Acquirer will be able to obtain, all public and private permits, certificates and other approvals, consents and all variances, exemptions, waivers, zoning changes and land divisions required for the conveyance of the Acquired Assets from Contributor to Acquirer, and Acquirer’s Intended Use. The term “Acquirer’s Intended Use” shall mean and include, without limitation, medical and other healthcare related uses.

 

(viii)                        Within the Due Diligence Period, Acquirer obtaining a current ALTA survey of the Property (the “Survey”) at Acquirer’s expense, that: (aa) is satisfactory to Acquirer in all respects (in Acquirer’s sole discretion); (bb) is prepared by a licensed, insured and qualified surveyor selected by Acquirer; (cc) is certified to Acquirer, Acquirer’s lender(s) (if any) and the applicable title company; (dd) includes all Table A requirements, except Item 5 of Table A; (ee) shows and discloses no encroachments onto the Property or over the boundaries of the Property, and no easements or other matters that would affect Acquirer’s intended use of the Property; and (ff) is sufficient to remove the standard title exceptions relating to surveys without adding any new exceptions.  In addition, the Survey shall locate all public utilities, water courses, drains, sewers and roads (including vacated streets and alleys) crossing or adjacent to the Property, and contain an acceptable certification by the surveyor.  Acquirer acknowledges it has ordered the Survey as of the Effective Date.

 

(c)                                  Termination Right; Return of Deposit.  If any of the foregoing conditions contained in this Section 7 are not satisfied and completed within each condition’s applicable time period, or if no time period is specified, prior to or at Closing, Acquirer, at its election (in its sole discretion), may, within the time period specified for said condition, either:  (i)  terminate this Agreement and have the Deposit refunded together with accrued interest; or (ii) waive in writing the satisfaction of any such condition or conditions, in which event this Agreement shall be read as if such condition or conditions no longer existed (which condition shall be deemed waived by Acquirer if Acquirer does not timely elect to terminate with respect to said condition per clause (i) of this sentence).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Acquirer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason whatsoever, in Acquirer’s sole and absolute discretion, upon written notice to Contributor on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and thereupon this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit together with accrued interest shall be refunded to Acquirer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided herein.  In the event no such notice of termination is timely received by Contributor on or before the expiration of the time period set forth herein, then the Deposit, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall become non-refundable and Contributor and Acquirer shall proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and the termination rights described in this paragraph shall be deemed waived by Acquirer

 

(d)                                 Covenants of Acquirer.  In connection with Acquirer’s inspection of the Property, Acquirer covenants and agrees that:

 

(I)                                               All inspection fees, engineering fees, or other expenses of any kind incurred by Acquirer relating to the inspection of the Property will be at Acquirer’s sole cost and expense;

 

20

 

(II)                                          Acquirer will advise Contributor at least two (2) business days in advance of the dates of all inspections and will schedule all tests and inspections during normal business hours whenever feasible unless otherwise requested by Contributor;

 

(III)                                     Contributor will have the right to have one or more representatives of Contributor accompany Acquirer and Acquirer’s representatives, agents or designees while they are on the Property;

 

(IV)                                      Any entry by Acquirer, its representatives, agents or designees will not unreasonably interfere with Contributor’s use of the Property or with the operations of any tenant;

 

(V)                                           Acquirer, its representatives, agents or designees will not perform any invasive testing without the prior written consent of Contributor, which consent may be granted or withheld in Contributors’ sole discretion;

 

(VI)                                      Acquirer will restore any damage caused to the Property by Acquirer’s entry on the Property for inspection purposes at Acquirer’s sole cost and expenses if this transaction does not close; and

 

(VII)                                 In making any inspection hereunder, Acquirer will treat and will cause any representative of Acquirer to treat all information obtained by Acquirer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as strictly confidential in accordance with Section 21 below.

 

(VIII)                            If during the Due Diligence Period Acquirer elects to perform a Phase 2 Environmental Audit:

 

(i)                         The Phase 2 Environmental Audit shall be conducted pursuant to applicable industry standards.  Without limitation, intrusive sampling or testing of soil or subsurface conditions are at all times prior to the Closing subject to Contributor’s prior written approval, which may be granted or withheld by Contributor in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

(ii)                      If the Closing fails to occur for any reason other than a default by Contributor, then if requested by Contributor, Acquirer will deliver all copies of the draft report to, and they will become the property of, the Company, and in any event Acquirer will not disclose to any party the contents of the draft report except pursuant to valid legal process or with the written consent of the Company.

 

(iii)                   Any ground water, soil or other samples taken from the Property will be properly disposed of by Acquirer at Acquirer’s sole cost and in accordance with all applicable laws.

8.                                      Operations Prior to Closing; Conditions to Closing.

 

(a)                                 Operations Prior to Closing.  Prior to Closing:

 

(i)                                     The Company shall operate, manage and maintain the Property in a reasonable, professional and prudent manner, and keep the same in good condition at all times.  Without expense to Acquirer, the Company shall make all repairs and replacements (structural and non-structural, ordinary and extraordinary) so that the Property is maintained in its present condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

 

(ii)                                  Upon reasonable notice and subject to the rights of tenants and the other provisions of this Agreement, Acquirer, its accountants, architects, attorneys, engineers, contractors and other representatives shall be afforded access to:  (A)  the Property to inspect, measure, appraise, test and make surveys of the Property, including, but not limited to, all activities necessary to satisfy the contingencies set forth in this Section 8 and elsewhere in this Agreement; and (B) property management records and files relating to the Property.  Acquirer shall have the right, at Acquirer’s expense, to make copies of all such books and records, including, without limitation, all books and records relating to increases in real estate taxes, building and operations maintenance costs; provided, however, that Acquirer shall return all copies of such books and records if Closing does not occur under this Agreement.  Acquirer shall not interfere unreasonably with the operation of the Property, shall restore any area on the Property disturbed in the course of Acquirer’s testing to the conditions existing prior to any tests conducted by Acquirer.

 

(iii)                               The Company shall comply with all of the obligations of landlord under the Leases and all other agreements and contractual arrangements affecting the Property by which Contributor is bound.

 

(iv)                              Contributor shall promptly notify Acquirer of the Company’s receipt of any notice from any person alleging that the Company is in default of its obligations under any of the Leases or any permit or agreement affecting the Property, or any portion or portions thereof.

 

(v)                                 No contract for or on behalf of or affecting the Property shall be negotiated or entered into by the Company which cannot be terminated by the Company prior to Closing without charge, cost, penalty or premium.

 

(vi)                              The Company shall not enter into any new leases (herein referred to singly as a “New Lease”) for any portion of the Property without Acquirer’s prior written approval.  The Company shall deliver a copy of any proposed New Lease to Acquirer for approval and Acquirer shall notify Contributor and the Company within 3 business days thereafter of Acquirer’s approval or disapproval, stating the reasons for any such disapproval.  If Acquirer fails to notify Contributor and the Company within such 3 business day period, Acquirer shall conclusively be deemed to have approved such New Lease.  All leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs with respect to any such New Lease shall be the

 

22

 

obligation of Acquirer; provided, however, that if the term of such New Lease commences prior to the Closing Date, then such leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs shall be prorated between Contributor and Acquirer based on said extended term or term, as the case may be, with Contributor being responsible for the number of days of said extended term or term occurring prior to the Closing Date and Acquirer being responsible for the number of days thereof attributable to periods from and after the Closing Date.

 

(vii)                           From the Effective Date until Closing, the Company shall take all action on its part to maintain the Contract Rights, Records and Plans, Warranties, and Licenses and Permits in full force and effect as applicable and shall not terminate, modify or waive any provision thereof. the Company shall not enter into any new contracts or agreements relating to the Property without Acquirer’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

(viii)                        From the Effective Date until the Closing, the Company will not take any action outside of the ordinary course related to the management of the Property and will not incur any liabilities, other than liabilities arising under preexisting agreements disclosed to Acquirer, in excess of $10,000 which are not subject to proration pursuant to Section 9.

 

(b)                                 Conditions to the Parties’ Obligations to Close.  The obligation of Contributor, on the one hand, and Acquirer, on the other hand, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be contingent upon the following:

 

(i)                                     The other party’s representations and warranties contained herein shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Date and the Closing Date.

 

(ii)                                  The other party shall have delivered, or caused to be delivered, and shall have performed, each of the items and obligations required to be delivered or performed by it hereunder.

 

(iii)                               The Operating Partnership shall have (A) adopted the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Physicians Realty L.P. in form reasonably acceptable to each Contributor and (B) secured all required consents and approvals for the adoption of the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Physicians Realty L.P. The rights of each Preferred OPU will include (A) a 5% annual preferred return on the $200 stated value of each Preferred Unit, (B) distributions equal to the distributions that would be received by the holder of one common unit of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership to be distributed in priority to distributions to holder of such common units, (C) redemption and transfer rights and limitations similar to those applicable to such common units (adjusted to account for the above preferred return) and (D) such other rights as customarily accrue to an equity security senior in priority to the common units. For the avoidance of doubt, the Preferred OPUs will have no consent rights with respect to future issuances by the operating partnership of other Preferred OPUs or any securities senior or equal in priority to the Preferred OPUs.

 

(c)                                  Failure of Condition.  So long as a party is not in default hereunder, if any condition to such party’s obligation to proceed with the Closing hereunder has not expired or

 

23

 

been waived or satisfied as of the Closing Date, such party may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other party.  Upon such termination, the Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Acquirer together with all accrued interest, and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which, by the express terms of this Agreement, survive its termination (“Surviving Obligations”).

 

9.                                      Prorations and Charges.

 

(a)                                 Taxes.  All general real estate and personal property taxes (including installments of special assessment payable therewith and interest thereon) shall be prorated through the day before the Closing based on the taxes due and payable in the year that the Closing is in, if known, otherwise on the prior year’s due and payable taxes.  Contributor shall be responsible for all such real estate taxes (including installments of special assessments payable therewith and interest thereon) through the day prior to the Closing.  In the event taxes are prorated on the prior year’s taxes, the parties agree to reprorate taxes when the taxes for the current year are known, and the parties agree to make such payment between themselves to effectuate such reproration.  Assessments (general, special or otherwise) levied or to be levied, if any, for work completed on site (by either a private individual or entity or a governmental entity) prior to Closing, including installments thereof not yet due and payable, shall be paid by Contributor at or prior to Closing, provided Contributor shall not be required to pay, and Acquirer or the Company shall assume, any such assessments (including unpaid installments thereof not yet due and payable) that are payable by tenants of the Property pursuant to the Leases.  All other assessments shall be paid by Acquirer if this transaction is consummated.

 

(b)                                 Rents and Utilities.  the following items shall be prorated through the day before Closing and shown as credits to Acquirer on the Closing Statement, as applicable: all rents and other payments paid to the Company under the Leases ; all utility charges (as applicable), including, but not limited to, sewer, water, electricity, gas, telephone and other private and municipal charges (collectively “Utility Charges”). The Company or Contributor shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary billing information for the Utility Charges in order to accurately reflect the same on the Closing Statement.  Acquirer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect delinquent rents due Contributor after the Closing provided that Acquirer shall not be required to bring any action or proceeding against any tenant on account of such delinquent rents and Acquirer may apply all amounts recovered to all delinquent rents and other amounts owed to Acquirer prior to paying any amounts to Contributor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contributor shall have the right to pursue the collection of delinquent rents due Contributor without prejudice to Contributor’s rights or Acquirer’s obligations hereunder and Acquirer and the Company shall cooperate with Contributor in such collection, provided, however, Contributor shall have no right to pursue any action for eviction of any tenant from the Property, and Contributor shall defend, indemnify and hold Acquirer and the Company harmless in connection with any such actions pursued by Contributor.  Income derived from the Property that is earned as of the day of Closing shall accrue to the benefit of Acquirer.  Contributor and Acquirer agree to mutually cooperate with each other in connection with ongoing tax reduction proceedings relating to prior tax years, if any, and any ongoing or future proceedings relating to the tax year in which the Closing occurs, if any, and any refund resulting therefrom (to the extent not refundable to the tenants under the Leases) shall be prorated between Contributor and Acquirer based on the Closing Date, after

 

24

 

deducting therefrom the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the parties.  This provision shall survive the Closing. At Closing, Acquirer shall receive a credit in the amount of $70,300.00, which Contributor has agreed to pay Acquirer to make up for Base Rent and Additional Rent not payable pursuant to the North Memorial Lease during calendar year 2015.

 

(c)                                  Insurance, CAM Charges and Security Deposits Collected from Tenants.  At Closing, Acquirer and the Company shall retain any and all funds paid to the Company by the tenants in the Property on account of security deposits and Contributor shall pay any additional rent items or CAM charges not yet due and payable by the Company and attributable to time periods before closing. Contributor shall make such payment in the form of a credit against the Consideration in favor of Acquirer.

 

(d)                                 Transfer Taxes; Other Obligations.  Contributor shall pay all transfer taxes associated with the conveyance of the Property and the Acquired Assets, and all recording fees customarily paid by Contributor in the locality where the Property is located.  Acquirer shall be responsible for the payment of title fees and premiums associated with the Title Policy.  All other closing expenses shall be allocated between the parties in the customary manner for sales of real property and asset purchases in the locality where the Property is located.  Each party is responsible for paying its own respective attorneys’ fees incurred in negotiating, preparing and closing the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.  All obligations, expenses and costs relating to the assignment and transfer of the Contract Rights, Records and Plans, Warranties and Licenses and Permits shall be assumed by the Company and Acquirer at Closing. At Closing, Acquirer shall reimburse Contributor $250,000.00 as and for the termination fee and other expenses incurred by the Company and Contributor in connection with the cancellation of the mortgage loan Commitment between Thrivent Financial and the Company, which the Company cancelled at the request of Acquirer.

 

(e)                                  Other Operating Costs.  Any and all other normal, on-going operating expenses attributable to the Property, except to the extent any of the same relate to the Contract Rights excluded from the Property pursuant to Section 7(b) (v) of this Agreement, shall be prorated between the parties through the day before Closing.

 

(f)                                   Reconciliation.  Within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Acquirer and Contributor shall reconcile all of the foregoing payments and prorations based on actual bills or invoices received after the Closing, but only if the prorations or payments were based on an estimate and not actual current bills or invoices.  In the event that any item of income, charge, or expense cannot be reconciled accurately within such 90-day period, the Acquirer and Contributor hereby agree to delay such reconciliation until a date when it can be accurately completed.  Any party owing to the other party any amount ascertained by the required reconciliations shall promptly, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after the date of the applicable reconciliation, pay the other party such amount.  The obligations set forth in this Section 9(f) shall survive Closing.

 

(g)                                  Time of Proration.  As applicable, all of the foregoing items set forth in this Section 9, unless otherwise expressly stated, shall be prorated between the parties as of 11:59 p.m. of the day before Closing.

10.                               Condemnation; Rezoning, Historic Designation.

 

(a)                                 Condemnation.  If prior to Closing any eminent domain or condemnation proceeding is commenced or any change is made, or proposed to be made to: (i) a Material Part (as defined below) of the Property; (ii) the current means of ingress and egress to the Property; or (iii) to the roads or driveways adjoining the Property, Contributor agrees immediately to notify Acquirer in writing thereof.  Acquirer then shall have the right, at Acquirer’s option, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Contributor prior to Closing.  If Acquirer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 10, then the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Acquirer together with all accrued interest, Acquirer and Contributor shall be released from any further liability hereunder and this Agreement shall be null and void.  If Acquirer does not so terminate this Agreement, or if the proposed condemnation or taking under clause (i) of the first sentence of this paragraph is to less than a Material Part of the Property, Acquirer shall proceed to Closing hereunder as if no such proceeding had commenced and will pay Contributor the full Consideration in accordance with this Agreement, and Contributor shall assign to Acquirer or the Company shall retain all of its right, title and interest in and to any compensation for such condemnation.  Contributor shall not negotiate or settle any claims for compensation prior to Closing, and Acquirer shall have the sole right (in the name of Acquirer or the Company or both) to negotiate for, to agree to, and to contest all offers and awards.  A “Material Part” of the Property shall mean: (i)  a taking which would exceed twenty percent (20%) or more of the Consideration for the Acquired Assets, as determined by a licensed appraiser approved by Contributor and Acquirer; (ii) the taking of any access to public roads; or (iii) the taking of any parking areas or spaces located on the Property which results in the failure to comply with the minimum parking requirements for the Property under the applicable zoning code, even if such condition is permitted to exist as a legal non-conforming use.

 

(b)                                 Historic Designation/Rezoning.  If, prior to closing, there is a designation of the Real Property (and/or any improvement located thereon) or any portion thereof as a historic structure or other historic designation, or is threatened, commenced or finalized, or there is a threatened, commenced or finalized rezoning of the Real Property, Contributor shall promptly notify Acquirer, and Acquirer may elect to terminate this Agreement prior to Closing, in which event the Deposit and all accrued interest thereon shall be returned forthwith to Acquirer, Acquirer and Contributor shall be released from any further liability hereunder and this Agreement shall be null and void. If Acquirer does not elect to terminate this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and at Closing Contributor shall assign to Acquirer or the Company all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to any dollars paid by the governmental authority (if any) in connection with the rezoning of the Real Property or historic designation.

 

11.                               Default by Acquirer.  If Acquirer, without the right to do so and in default of its obligations hereunder, fails to complete Closing as to the Acquired Assets, the Deposit and all accrued interest shall be paid to Contributor in proportion to each Contributor’s Ownership Percentage. Such payment of the Deposit and all accrued interest to Contributor shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for Acquirer’s default and the receipt of same shall be Contributor’s exclusive and sole remedy; and Contributor hereby waives any right to recover the balance of the Consideration, or any part thereof, and the right to pursue any other remedy permitted at law or in equity against Acquirer.  The parties agree that it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual damages suffered by Contributor as a result of Acquirer’s failure to complete the purchase of the Acquired Assets pursuant to this Agreement, and that under the

 

26

 

circumstances existing as of the date of this Agreement, the liquidated damages provided for in this Section represent a reasonable estimate of the damages which Contributor will incur as a result of such failure.  The parties acknowledge that the payment of such liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty under any legal or equitable theory, but is intended to constitute liquidated damages to Contributor.

 

12.                               Default by Contributor.  If Contributor defaults in the performance of any of its material obligations under this Agreement or, without the right to do so and in default of its obligations hereunder, fails to complete Closing and such default remains uncured for thirty (30) days after notice from Acquirer of such default, Acquirer may terminate this Agreement upon 30 days written notice to Contributor whereupon, if such default remains uncured, the Deposit and all accrued interest shall be returned to Acquirer, each Contributor, in proportion to its Ownership Percentage shall reimburse Acquirer for all of Acquirer’s reasonable, documented third party costs incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement not to exceed twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000), this Agreement shall be null and void and Contributor shall have no further liability hereunder.  If Acquirer does not terminate this Agreement as provided in the previous sentence, Acquirer may exercise any remedies available to it at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, specific performance.  Contributor waives the right to assert the defense of lack of mutuality in any action for specific performance instituted by Acquirer.

 

13.                               Risk of Loss.  Contributor shall bear the risk of all loss or damage to the Property from all causes until Closing.  Contributor represents that the Company has, and will maintain pending Closing, a policy of fire and extended coverage insurance in at least the full amount of the replacement cost of all buildings and improvements located on the Property.  If at any time prior to Closing any portion of the Property is destroyed or damaged as a result of fire or any other casualty whatsoever, Contributor shall promptly give written notice thereof to Acquirer and Acquirer shall have the right:  (i) to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Contributor, whereupon Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit (with any accrued interest) to Acquirer, and thereafter this Agreement shall be void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder; provided Acquirer shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement if the estimated cost of restoration is $250,000 or less, in which case clause (ii) will apply, or (ii) to proceed with this Agreement and to notify Contributor that, at Acquirer’s sole option, Contributor or the Company shall either:  (A) use any available insurance proceeds to restore the Property prior to Closing to its condition as of the Effective Date, and if there are any excess insurance proceeds after completion of such restoration, Contributor shall promptly deposit same in escrow with Escrow Agent and such funds, together with any interest thereon, shall be disbursed to Acquirer at Closing; or (B) in lieu of restoration, prior to Closing, clear the site of debris and deposit all remaining insurance proceeds in escrow with Escrow Agent and such funds, together with interest thereon, shall be disbursed to Acquirer at Closing.  All unpaid claims and rights in connection with any such losses shall be assigned to Acquirer or retained by the Company at Closing without in any manner affecting the Consideration.  In the event Acquirer elects to proceed under clause (ii)(A) or (ii)(B) above, Contributor shall either expend the deductible amount provided for in such insurance coverage in making such restoration or clearing the Property, as the case may be, or give Acquirer a credit therefore against the Consideration.

 

27

 

14.                               Brokerage.  Acquirer represents to Contributor that Acquirer has engaged the consulting services of Eastern Consolidated (“Broker”) pursuant to a separate written agreement.  Acquirer shall be solely responsible for all other fees, costs, commissions and other amounts that may be due and payable to Broker, which shall be paid to Broker on or before Closing.  Contributor represents to Acquirer that it has engaged DRESG as its real estate agent in this transaction and that Contributor shall be solely responsible for any commissions payable to DRESG.  Each party represents and warrants to the other that, except for Broker and DRESG, neither has dealt with any broker, agent, finder or other intermediary in connection with this sale and purchase.  Contributor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Acquirer harmless from and against the claims of any and all brokers, except for Broker arising from breach by Contributor of Contributor’s representation and warranty in this Section 14.  Acquirer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Contributor harmless from and against any broker’s claim, including Broker, arising from any breach by Acquirer of Acquirer’s representation and warranty in this Section 14.

 

15.                               Notice.  All notices, requests and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered: (i) in person; or (ii) by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested; or (iii) by recognized overnight delivery service providing positive tracking of items (for example, Federal Express); or (iv) by electronic transmission (so long as one of methods (i), (ii) or (iii) are simultaneously utilized) addressed as follows or at such other address of which Contributor or Acquirer shall have given notice as herein provided:

16.                               Indemnification.

 

(a)                                 By Contributor.  Contributor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Acquirer and its officers, agents and employees from and against, and to reimburse Acquirer with respect to any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) asserted against or incurred by Acquirer or the Company by reason of or arising out of: (i) a breach of any representation or warranty of Contributor set forth in this Agreement, provided Contributor’s liability under this clause (i) is subject to all of the limitations, conditions and qualifications of Contributor’s liability stated in Section 6 or elsewhere in this Agreement; (ii) the failure of Contributor to perform any obligation required by this Agreement to be performed by it; and (iii) the ownership, maintenance, operation, management and use of the Property, the Acquired Assets, and/or the Company prior to Closing. The liability of each Contributor under this paragraph (a) is limited to each such Contributor’s Ownership Percentage of the total of all liabilities or amounts recoverable by Acquirer hereunder.

 

29

 

(b)                                 By Acquirer.  Acquirer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Contributor and their respective officers, agents, employees, and tenants from and against, and to reimburse Contributor with respect to any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) asserted against or incurred by Contributor by reason of or arising out of: (a) a breach of any representation or warranty of Acquirer set forth in this Agreement; (b) the failure of Acquirer to perform any obligation required by this Agreement to be performed by it; (c) the ownership, maintenance, operation, management and use of the Property, the Acquired Assets, and/or the Company after Closing; and (d) Acquirer’s access to the Property for the purpose of making such investigations, inspections, tests, assessments, surveys and the like in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement.

 

17.                               Tax Treatment of Transaction.  (a)Contributor and Acquirer hereby acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will, for United States federal income tax purposes, be treated as a non-taxable contribution by Contributor of the Acquired Assets to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Preferred OPUs pursuant to Section 721 of the Code.  The portion of of the Consideration which is paid to Contributor by Acquirer in cash, including the Pre-Formation Expenditure Reimbursement and the net amount of cash payable by Acquirer pursuant to Sections 2(b)(i), (ii) and (iii) shall, to the extent possible, be treated by the Operating Partnership and Contributor as payments made to reimburse Contributor for capital expenditures incurred with respect to the property contributed by Contributor to the Operating Partnership pursuant to Section 1.707-4(d) of the Treasury Regulations, and not as part of a sale of any portion of such property by Contributor to the Operating Partnership.  Contributor, Acquirer and the Operating Partnership will file their tax return on a basis consistent with the foregoing.

 

(b)                                 The Company has timely filed all tax returns, including, but not limited to, tax returns relating to the Property, that it was required to file in accordance with applicable laws (taking into account any valid extensions of time for filing), and each such tax return is accurate and complete in all material respects.  The Company has timely paid all taxes due with respect to the taxable periods covered by such tax returns and all other taxes, including, but not limited to, taxes arising in connection with or relating to the Property, whether or not shown on any tax return.  The Company has not requested any extension of time within which to file any tax return, including, but not limited to, any tax return relating to the Property, which has not since been filed.  The Company does not and will not have additional liability for taxes with respect to any tax return which was required by applicable laws to be filed on or before the Closing Date.  There are no liens on any of the assets of the Company that arose in connection with any failure or alleged failure (whether or not in writing) to pay any tax.  All taxes, including, but not limited to, taxes arising in connection with or relating to the Property, that the Company is required by law to withhold or collect (including sales and use taxes and amounts required to be withheld or collected in connection with any amount paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor or other person) have been duly withheld or collected and, to the extent required by applicable law, have been paid over to the proper taxing authority.  No tax audits or other tax proceedings, including, but not limited to tax audits and tax proceedings with respect to taxes arising in connection with or relating to the Property, are pending or being conducted, nor has the Company received any notice from any governmental authority that any such audit or other tax proceeding is pending, threatened or contemplated.  There is no claim or assessment pending or

 

30

 

threatened against the Company for any alleged deficiency in taxes, including, but not limited to, any alleged deficiency in taxes arising in connection with or relating to the Property.  The Company does not have any tax liabilities (whether due or to become due) with respect to the Property, its operations or the Acquired Assets, that will be required under local laws or otherwise to be assumed by Acquirer.  The Company has not waived any statute of limitations with respect to taxes, including, but not limited to, taxes arising in connection with or relating to the Property, or agreed to an extension of time with respect to any tax assessment or deficiency.  The Company is not a party to, or bound by, any tax allocation or sharing agreement, tax indemnity obligation or similar contract or practice with respect to taxes.  The Company has not made any election to be excluded from the provisions of subchapter K of the Code or to be taxable as a corporation.  The Company has not entered into any “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Section 6011 of the Code.

 

18.                               Disclosure.

 

18.1                        Contributor and Acquirer hereby covenant and agree that, at all times after the date of execution hereof and prior to the Closing, unless consented to in writing by the other party, no press release or other public disclosure concerning this transaction shall be made, and each party agrees to use best efforts to prevent disclosure of this transaction, other than (i) to directors and officers and members of the parties, and employees, prospective mortgage lenders of Acquirer, attorneys, accountants, agents and affiliates of the parties who are involved in the ordinary course of business with this transaction, all of which shall be instructed to comply with the confidentiality provisions hereof; (ii) in response to lawful process or subpoena or other valid or enforceable order of a court of competent jurisdiction; (iii) in compliance with any filings required by the Securities Exchange Commission or other federal or state agency; (iv) any state or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over Contributor or Acquirer, as the case may be, or (v) in connection with the enforcement by the disclosing party of its rights hereunder.

 

18.2                        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere herein, Acquirer hereby acknowledges that all information furnished by Contributor to Acquirer or obtained by Acquirer in the course of Acquirer’s investigation of the Property, or in any way arising from or relating to any and all studies or entries upon the Property by Acquirer, its agents or representatives, including without limitation the Due Diligence Documents, shall be treated as confidential information (“Confidential Information”), and further, that if any Confidential Information is disclosed to third parties prior to the Closing, Contributor may suffer damages and irreparable harm.  In connection therewith, Acquirer hereby expressly understands, acknowledges and agrees (i) that Acquirer will not disclose any Confidential Information, including the contents or information contained in or obtained as a result of any reports or studies made in connection with a Acquirer’s investigation of the Property, in any form whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any oral information received by Acquirer during the course of Acquirer’s inspection of the Property), to any party prior to the Closing other than (a) the Contributor, Contributor’s employees, agents or representatives, or Acquirer’s agents, employees, representatives, attorneys, consultants or potential institutional lenders, without the prior express written consent of Contributor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (b) in response to lawful process or subpoena or other valid and or enforceable order of a court of competent jurisdiction and (c) as required by the SEC or other federal or state agency; (ii) that in making any disclosure of Confidential Information as permitted hereunder, Acquirer will advise said parties of the confidentiality of such information and the potential of damage to Contributor

 

31

 

as a result of any disclosure of such information by said third party, and (iii) that Contributor is relying on Acquirer’s covenant not to disclose any Confidential Information.  In the event either Acquirer or Acquirer’s agents, employees, representatives, attorneys, consultants or potential institutional lenders causes a breach of Acquirer’s duty of confidentiality hereunder, Acquirer shall be liable to Contributor for damages and Contributor may pursue all of its remedies afforded it under this Agreement.  Acquirer also hereby indemnifies and holds any tenant harmless from and against any and all claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities and expenses which such tenant may suffer or incur due to Acquirer’s breach of its obligation under Section 21 to maintain the confidential nature of any Disclosure Materials or other information relative to such tenant.

 

19.                               Cooperation with S-X 3-14 Audit.  The Contributor acknowledges that that it is Acquirer’s intention that the ultimate acquirer of the Property will be affiliated with a publicly registered company (“Registered Company”).  The Contributor acknowledges that it has been advised that if such acquirer is affiliated with a Registered Company, such Registered Company (and such acquirer) are required to make certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Filings”) that relate to the most recent pre-acquisition fiscal year (the “Audited Year”) and the current fiscal year through the date of acquisition (the “Stub Period”) for the Property.  To assist Acquirer and Registered Company in preparing the SEC Filings, the Contributor agrees no later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Contributor shall provide Acquirer and the Registered Company with the following information at Acquirer’s expense (to the extent such items are not duplicative of items contained in the Disclosure Materials): (i) access to bank statements for the Audited Year and Stub Period; (ii) rent roll as of the end of the Audited Year and Stub Period; (iii) operating statements for the Audited Year and Stub Period; (iv) access to the general ledger for the Audited Year and Stub Period; (v) cash receipts schedule for each month in the Audited Year and Stub Period; (vi) access to invoice for expenses and capital improvements in the Audited Year and Stub Period; (vii) accounts payable ledger and accrued expense reconciliations; (viii) check register for the 3-months following the Audited Year and Stub Period; (ix) all leases and 5-year lease schedules; (x) copies of all insurance documentation for the Audited Year and Stub Period and (xi) copies of accounts receivable aging as of the end of the Audited Year and Stub Period along with an explanation for all accounts over 30 days past due as of the end of the Audited Year and Stub Period.  In addition, no later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Mark A. Davis, on behalf of Contributor, shall provide to Acquirer, at Acquirer’s expense: (1) signed representation letter in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit “I” and incorporating the same limitations of Contributor’s liability as stated in Section 6 of this Agreement (with such modifications as may be required to render such letter accurate and complete); (2) a signed audit request letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “J”; and (3) a signed audit response letter from Contributor’s attorney in customary form.

 

20.                               Miscellaneous.

 

20.1                        Survival.  All of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, all covenants, agreements and indemnities made herein, and all obligations to be performed under the provisions of this Agreement shall survive Closing for a period of twelve (12) months after which they shall terminate and be of no further force or effect..

 

32

 

20.2                        Execution of Agreement; Effective Date.  This Agreement shall be void and of no force or effect if not executed by Contributor and delivered to Acquirer or Acquirer’s attorney within seven (7) business days after execution by Acquirer and delivery to Contributor.

20.3                        Captions.  The “captions” or “headings” in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof.

Thus, wherever this Agreement grants Acquirer or Contributor discretion, which might otherwise make this Agreement illusory, the party exercising its discretion must act reasonably according to commercial standards.

 

20.9                        Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence of this Agreement and Acquirer and Contributor hereby agree that the times provided for in this contract are reasonable times for each party to complete its respective obligations. If any of the times provided for in this Agreement fall on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, said times shall automatically extend to the next full business day.

 

20.10                 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed or amended in counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of a duly executed counterpart of this Agreement by any party to all of the other parties by email to the email addresses set forth in Section 15 shall be deemed due and proper delivery for all purposes.

20.12                 Post-Closing Matters.  After the Closing, at the request of Acquirer and at Acquirer’s expense, Contributor shall make available to Acquirer the historical financial information in Contributor’s possession regarding the operation of the Property to the extent required by Acquirer in order to prepare stand-alone audited financial statements for such operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and to cooperate (at Acquirer’s expense) with Acquirer and any auditor engaged by Acquirer for such purpose.

 

20.13                 Form of Exhibits and Closing Documents.  In the event that any of the exhibits referenced in this Agreement are not attached as of the Effective Date, then the parties agree to negotiate in good faith during the Due Diligence Period to finalize such exhibits in form and substance mutually satisfactory to the parties.  Furthermore, during the Due Diligence Period the parties will negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the final form of all documents to be executed at the Closing, including, without limitation, the Ancillary Documents (collectively the “Closing Documents”).

21.1                        At Closing, Contributor shall deposit the sum of $1,669,334.30 (the “TI Allowance Escrow”) in Escrow with the Title Company to pay the remaining balance of the Tenant Improvement Allowance payable to North Memorial Health Care (“North Memorial”) pursuant to the North Memorial Lease. The Company shall retain the obligation to pay the balance of the Tenant Improvement Allowance to North Memorial and Acquirer shall use such

 

37

 

escrow deposit for that purpose. The terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement (“Escrow Agreement”) for such escrow deposit shall be mutually acceptable to Acquirer, Contributor and the Title Company. Contributor represents to Acquirer that the TI Allowance Escrow is equal to the entire unpaid balance due North Memorial as and for the Tenant Improvement Allowance payable by the Company under the North Memorial Lease and acknowledges such representation is subject to Contributors’ indemnification obligations under Section 16 (a) of this Agreement.

 

21.2                        Reference is made to that certain Lease Agreement between the Company and Commers Conditioned Water Southwest, Inc., (“Commers”) dated May 24, 2001, as amended (the “Commers Lease”) by which Commers has leased a portion of the building located at 15306 State Highway 7 (“the “15306 Building”) for a term ending July 31, 2017. The 15306 Building is located on the Real Property and is to be demolished by Contributor, at Contributor’s sole cost and expense, to make room for construction of additional parking at such time as the Commers Lease has been cancelled and Commers has been relocated.  Contributor and DRESG (as property manager under the Property Management Agreement”) agree that, on behalf of Acquirer and the Company, they shall obtain an agreement for the cancellation of the Commers Lease and relocate Commers at the earliest possible date.  The parties agree to fully cooperate with one another to that end, and Contributor hereby designates Mark Davis as its agent to negotiate the early cancellation of such Lease and relocation of such tenant. Contributor shall pay all costs and expenses related to the early termination of the Commers Lease and/or and relocation of Commers, including, without limitation, any termination fee and relocation fees or expenses that may be payable to Commers, with each Contributor being obligated to pay its Ownership Percentage thereof. Contributor  acknowledges that Contributors’ agreement to pay such termination fee and related costs is to subject to Contributors’ indemnification obligations under Section 16 (a) of this Agreement.

 

21.3                        The Company has previously entered into fixed price Agreements with Timco Construction Inc., (“Timco”) and Mickman Brothers (“Mickman”) (collectively, the “Timco/Mickman Agreements”) by which Timco is to demolish the 15306 Building and complete the easterly parking area and Mickman is to complete the landscaping improvements to be installed north of such parking area at such time as the Commers Lease is terminated and Commers is relocated, all in accordance with the plans, specifications and scopes of work set forth in such Agreements, for a cumulative cost of $204,067.50. Contributor represents and warrants that the Timco/Mickman Agreements (including the plans, specifications and scopes of work set forth therein) and the cumulative cost of $204,067.50 are sufficient to fully perform and complete the demolition of the 15306 Building, the construction of the easterly parking area, and the landscaping improvements on the north side of such parking area, all of which shall be performed and completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Timco/Mickman Agreements.  In the event that Timco and/or Mickman fail to perform their obligations under the Timco/Mickman Agreements and/or complete the work required to be performed thereunder   in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Timco/Mickman Agreements, Contributor shall remain responsible and liable for all costs and expenses incurred by the Company and/or Acquirer to perform and complete such work, including, without limitation, any work required to correct defects in such work and all cost overruns, notwithstanding the Company’s obligation to retain and perform the Timco/Mickman Agreements. Contributor and Acquirer agree to appoint Mark A. Davis as their agent for the purpose of supervising, completing and enforcing the performance of the Timco/Mickman Agreements, including completion of all work to be

 

38

 

performed thereunder. At Closing, Contributor shall deposit the sum of $204,067.50 with the Title Company, subject to the Escrow Agreement, to be disbursed to pay all amounts due to Timco and Mickman for the work to be performed by Timco and Mickman under the Timco/Mickman Agreements. In no event shall Contributor be entitled to have any of such escrow deposit returned to Contributor. Contributor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Acquirer and the Company harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses, claims, damages, causes of action, liabilities, judgments, liens or other losses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) asserted against or incurred by Acquirer and the Company arising out of the matters described herein.

 

21.4                        Contributor and Acquirer acknowledge that the City of Minnetonka, Minnesota (the “City”), will require that the Company post a letter of credit or cash deposit in the amount of $50,000 (the “Security”) to secure the Company’s obligation to complete landscaping improvements and to guaranty the survival of such improvements in accordance with City requirements and the Landscaping Plan approved by the City.  Contributor shall be responsible for posting the Security on behalf of the Company. Contributor and Acquirer acknowledge and agree that, if the Security is in the form of a letter of credit, Contributor intends to obtain such letter of credit from Wells Fargo and that Contributor shall be solely responsible for fulfilling all requirements in connection therewith or any other letter of credit provider.  Upon satisfaction of the Company’s obligations  to the City with respect to such landscaping improvements and the release of the Security by the City, Contributor shall be entitled to the return of the Security and any collateral granted to the letter of credit provider.

 

21.5                        Acquirer agrees it shall not transfer, or cause the Company to transfer, title to the Property or the Acquired Assets before January 1, 2016, without the prior written consent of each Contributor, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of each Contributor. Acquirer and the Operating Partnership acknowledge each Contributor, for income tax planning purposes, is relying on Acquirer’s agreement to retain title to the Property and the Acquired Assets in entering into this Agreement and that each Contributor or its members may incur increased income tax liabilities if Acquirer or the Company breaches this covenant.

 

21.6                        Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 20.1 above, the provisions of this Section 21 shall survive Closing and the transfer of the Acquired Assets to Acquirer indefinitely.
