6. INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION

 

.  Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it has been, or will have been, given, prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, a full, complete and adequate opportunity to make such legal, factual and other determinations, analyses, inquiries and investigations as Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the acquisition of the Property.  Purchaser is relying upon its own independent examination of the Property and all matters relating thereto and, except for representations and warranties expressly set forth herein or in any of the Closing Documents, which representations and warranties are subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, not upon any statements of Seller or of any manager, member, officer, director, employee, agent or attorney of Seller or of its affiliates with respect to acquiring the Property.  The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive Closing and/or termination of this Agreement.

 

7. TERMINATION RIGHT

 

.

 

(a) Due Diligence Termination. Purchaser has the right, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, for any reason or no reason, to give written notice to Seller prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date that Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement.  In the event that Purchaser exercises its right of termination under this Section 7, this Agreement shall terminate and the Earnest Money Deposit shall be delivered to Purchaser and thereupon neither Party shall have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder except for those obligations which expressly survive termination of this Agreement.  If Purchaser shall fail to timely notify Seller in writing of its election to terminate this Agreement on or before the Due Diligence Expiration Date, time being of the essence, the termination right described in this Section 7 shall be immediately null and void and of no further force or effect.  Purchaser’s failure to provide such notice on or before the Due Diligence Expiration Date shall constitute Purchaser’s waiver of the herein described termination right.

 

(b) Lender’s Consent Termination.  In the event that the Lender’s Consent has not been received by the Parties on or before the Lender’s Consent Expiration Date, time being of the essence, either Party shall have the right, in its respective sole discretion, so long as the Lender’s Consent has not been received, to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to the other Party, in which case the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and the Parties shall thereafter be released from all obligations under this Agreement except those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party’s respective right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7(b) is expressly conditioned upon such Party’s compliance with its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan Assumption.

 

8. TITLE AND SURVEY.

 

(a) Commitment.  At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Purchaser shall obtain, at Purchaser’s cost and expense, a written title insurance commitment for the issuance of an owner’s policy of title insurance (the “Commitment”) by the Title Company and shall deliver a copy of the Commitment to Seller within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof.  The Commitment shall be subject only to (i) ad valorem real estate taxes for the year of Closing not yet a lien on the Land, (ii) the rights of tenants in possession pursuant to the Leases, (iii) the Declaration, (iv) the Easement Agreement, (v) the Loan Security Documents, and (vi) the Plats recorded in Book 158, page 305 and Book 168, page 349, and those matters shown on the Seller Surveys.

(b) Objection to Title.  If the Commitment or any survey obtained by Purchaser as provided in subsection 8(f) below contains exceptions other than the Permitted Commitment Exceptions to which Purchaser objects, Purchaser shall notify Seller, in writing, no later than four (4) Business Days prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date specifying the exceptions and title defects (the “Title Defects”), other than Permitted Commitment Exceptions, which exist with respect to the title to the Land (the “Title Notice”).  Seller shall respond within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Title Notice as to whether Seller elects to cure any of the Title Defects set forth in the Title Notice, either prior to or at Closing; provided, however, Seller shall be obligated in all events to cure (i) deeds of trust encumbering Seller’s interest in the Real Property, other than the Loan Security Documents, (ii) mechanics liens or judgment liens encumbering Seller’s interest in the Real Property unless bonded around by Seller, and (iii) matters affecting title to the Real Property entered into by Seller in violation of Section 8(c).  If Seller fails to elect to cure any such Title Defects prior to or at Closing, then Purchaser may (i) elect to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and all rights and liabilities arising hereunder shall automatically terminate, with the exception of the obligations which expressly survive termination of this Agreement, or (ii) elect to purchase the Property without a reduction in the Purchase Price and the matters objected to shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions.

 

(c) Subsequent Acts.  After the date of the Commitment, but prior to Closing or the termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not enter into any easements, encumbrances or other title matters or recordable instrument affecting the Land (other than New Building Leases as provided in Section 12 and Memoranda of Leases for any Leases), nor take any other action to cause title to the Land to differ from the condition of title approved by Purchaser, without Purchaser’s consent, which may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

(d) Update.  The Commitment shall be updated not later than five (5) Business Days prior to Closing.  In the event the updated Commitment shows new or additional exceptions to title to the Real Property, Purchaser may object to such new or additional exceptions, and Seller’s response to such exceptions, and Purchaser’s obligation to close shall be the same as set forth in Section 8(b) above.

 

(e) Condition to Closing.  It shall be a condition to Closing that the Title Company issue to Purchaser, at Purchaser’s cost and expense, an extended coverage ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”), in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring that fee simple title to the Real Property is vested in Purchaser, and without exception for any items, including the standard exceptions hereinafter described, other than Permitted Commitment Exceptions and those matters not objected to by Purchaser; provided however, the standard exception for parties in possession shall be limited to the Tenants and occupants under the Leases.  Standard exceptions shall mean:  (1) Rights or claims of parties in possession not shown by the public records, (2) Encroachments, overlaps, boundary line disputes, and any other matters which would be disclosed by an accurate survey and inspection of the premises provided there will be an exception as to matters shown on the Seller Surveys and any other survey or survey update obtained by Purchaser, (3) Easements, or claims of easements not shown by the public records, (4) Any lien, or right to a lien, for services, labor, or material heretofore or hereafter furnished, imposed by law, and not shown by the public records, and (5) Taxes or special assessments which are not shown as existing liens by the public records.  To cause the Title Company to delete standard exceptions 3 and 5, Seller shall provide an affidavit “to its knowledge”.

 

(f) Survey.  If required by Lender in connection with the Loan Assumption or by the Title Company, or if Purchaser otherwise elects to do so, Purchaser shall obtain an update to any of Seller Surveys, or a new survey of the Land, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.

 

9. TENANT ESTOPPELS

 

.  It shall be conditions of Purchaser’s obligation to close the purchase and sale of the Property for Seller to deliver to Purchaser (i) appropriately completed and executed Tenant Estoppel Certificates for all Duke and DUHS Leases, such Tenant Estoppel Certificates to be consistent with the terms of the Leases and the rent roll provided as part of the Evaluation Materials and to have no material modification from the form of the Tenant Estoppel Certificates and (ii) the written approval of Duke and DUHS of Purchaser or Hines Interests Limited Partnership, or an affiliate of either, as property manager of the Building, with a monthly property management fee of three percent (3%) of monthly gross revenue collected for the Building (the “Tenant Approval”).  A Tenant Estoppel Certificate shall not be required from the Tenant under the Restaurant Lease if such Restaurant Lease is executed prior to the Closing Date.  Purchaser acknowledges that the conditions to Closing as set forth in this Section 9 represent conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property at Closing, rather than affirmative obligations of Seller hereunder.  In this regard, in the event that said conditions precedent of receipt of the executed Tenant Estoppel Certificates and the Tenant Approval required under this Section 9 are not either satisfied by Seller or waived by Purchaser on or before the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement subject to obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, in which case Purchaser, as its sole remedy, shall be entitled to the return of the Earnest Money Deposit.

(c) General.

If, prior to Closing, Seller discloses to Purchaser, or Purchaser discovers and has actual knowledge of, any material misrepresentations of, or material inaccuracies with respect to any of the representations and warranties set forth in subsection (b) above which are either individually or in the aggregate material, then Purchaser may either (i) upon written notice to Seller delivered within ten (10) Business Days of such discovery, terminate this Agreement subject to the obligations which survive termination of this Agreement, and the Earnest Money Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser, provided Seller may elect to cure the material misrepresentation or material inaccuracy by written notice to Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days, which election shall negate such termination, and in such event Seller shall cure the material representation or material inaccuracy prior to Closing or (ii) elect to close this transaction with no adjustment in the Purchase Price notwithstanding such misrepresentations or material inaccuracies, thereby waiving any claim for the breach of the applicable representation or warranty.  If Purchaser fails to timely deliver the written notice described in subclause (i) in the previous sentence, time being of the essence, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under subclause (ii) in the previous sentence.  Seller and Purchaser hereby agree and acknowledge that Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to such subclause (i) in the event that a representation and warranty is or becomes untrue on account of Seller having entered into a New Building Lease or a New Service Contract, so long as Seller’s entry into the same was in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 of this Agreement.  For purposes of this Section 12(c), “material” shall mean having a negative impact on the value of the Property of more than $100,000.00.

 

(d) Change in Representation/Waiver.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser shall not be entitled to rely on any representation made by Seller in Section 10(b) above to the extent that, prior to or at Closing, Purchaser shall have or obtain actual knowledge of any information that was contradictory to such representation or warranty.  In furtherance thereof, Seller shall have no liability with respect to any of the foregoing representations and warranties or any representations and warranties made in any other document executed and delivered by Seller to Purchaser, to the extent that, prior to the Closing, Purchaser discovers or learns of information (from whatever source, including, without limitation the property manager, the Tenant Estoppel Certificates, as a result of Purchaser’s inspections, tests, analysis or examination of the Property, or disclosure by Seller or Seller’s affiliates, agents or employees) that contradicts any such representations and warranties, or renders any such representations and warranties untrue or incorrect, and Purchaser nevertheless consummates the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

 

11. SURVIVAL

 

.  The express representations and warranties made in this Agreement by Seller shall not merge into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Closing; provided, however, that any action, suit or proceeding with respect to the truth, accuracy or completeness of all such representations and warranties shall be commenced, if at all, on or before the date which is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, and if not commenced on or before such date, thereafter shall be void and of no force or effect.

Seller and Purchaser shall, at the Closing, and from time to time thereafter, upon request, execute such additional documents as are reasonably necessary in order to convey, assign and transfer the Property pursuant to this Agreement, provided that such documents are consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and do not increase Seller’s or Purchaser’s obligations hereunder or subject Seller or Purchaser to additional liability not otherwise contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(e) Post-Closing Documents.  Seller shall deliver to Purchaser within a reasonable period after the Closing all original Leases and Contracts that are in the possession of Seller.

 

14. LOAN ASSUMPTION.

 

(a) Seller is the borrower under the Loan, which Loan is (i) subject to the Loan Documents, and (ii) secured by the Loan Security Documents.  As provided in Section 13(c)(ii) of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser have agreed that a portion of the Purchase Price in the amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on the Closing Date shall be paid by Purchaser by way of Purchaser’s assumption of the Loan from Seller.

 

(b) In order to assist the Parties in expediting the Loan Assumption and obtaining Lender’s Consent (defined below), First Service Solutions has been (or will be) engaged by Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense.  Seller and Purchaser shall each cooperate with the other and with First Service Solutions in all reasonable respects in order to obtain Lender’s approval and consent to (i) the conveyance of the Property, and (ii) the Loan Assumption (defined below) (the “Lender’s Consent”).  The “Loan Assumption” shall mean, collectively, the assignment of the Loan by Seller, the assumption of the Loan by Purchaser on the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Documents but with the changes set forth on Schedule 14(c) below, and the full and unconditional release of Seller and all existing guarantor(s) or indemnitor(s) under the Loan with respect to acts or omissions occurring from and after Closing.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller and First Service Solutions shall coordinate all matters with respect to the Loan Assumption.  Purchaser shall submit to Lender (or to First Service Solutions, if so directed by Seller) and Seller all information, filings and other documents required by Lender reasonably and/or customarily necessary for application for the Loan Assumption within seven (7) Business Days following the Due Diligence Expiration Date.  Thereafter, Seller and Purchaser shall work diligently to comply with all requirements of Lender and to promptly (and in all cases within the time frames contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise reasonably requested by Lender, it being understood that time is of the essence to obtain Lender’s Consent) provide all information, filings and other documents reasonably requested by Lender in connection with the Loan Assumption.  From and after the Agreement Date, for so long as this Agreement is in effect, except in connection with the Loan Assumption, Seller shall not modify nor supplement any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Documents without, in each instance, Purchaser’s prior written approval, which may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion.  Purchaser shall execute and/or deliver to Lender such instruments and documents as may be reasonably required to effectuate the Loan Assumption, but only to the extent that borrower’s and guarantor’s liability under the Loan Documents is not increased by such instruments or documents.  Purchaser acknowledges that it is reasonable for Lender to require that Purchaser comply with the special purpose entity and organizational documents requirements set forth in the Loan Documents or as required of Seller, to require a non-consolidation opinion, and to approve the types of accounts established for the Deposit Account Agreement and the Clearing Account Agreement.  Purchaser also acknowledges that subject to the Leander’s approval Seller shall have the right to negotiate with Lender to substitute the current indemnitors and guarantors for new indemnitors/guarantors for all obligations prior to the Closing Date.

 

(c) Other than the modifications set forth in the following sentence, Purchaser shall not request Lender’s consent to any matter other than the Loan Assumption, and the obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Agreement shall not be subject to or conditioned upon (other than as set forth herein) obtaining any other consent of any kind from Lender or pursuant to the Loan Documents.  Purchaser may request the following non-economic modifications to the Loan Documents to address Purchaser’s ownership structure:  (i) Purchaser’s permitted transfer and pledge requirements attached hereto as Exhibit I, (ii) Purchaser’s ERISA covenants, (iii) the approval of Hines Interests Limited Partnership and/or its affiliates as the new property manager and (iv) changes in the definition of Key Principal in the Loan Agreement.  Purchaser shall not be obligated to assume the Loan unless the foregoing matters are addressed to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction.  Lender’s consent shall not include consent to any subordination or other financing or any intercreditor agreement between Lender and any other party, or any modification of the Loan Documents.  Purchaser shall cause Hines Global REIT Properties LP (“Replacement Guarantor”) to execute and deliver replacement guaranties and indemnities in form and substance identical (except for the change of the guarantor) to the existing guaranties and indemnities securing the Loan and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Lender, but limited only to acts or omissions occurring from and after Closing.  Additionally, Purchaser shall establish all deposit accounts and clearing accounts required by Lender in connection with the Loan Assumption, and shall deliver to Lender, as requested, a corresponding Deposit Account Agreement and/or Clearing Account Agreement, as applicable, in form and substance substantially similar to that which Seller has previously executed and delivered in connection with the Loan.

 

(d) Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising out of false or inaccurate information provided by or on behalf of Purchaser to Seller or Lender in connection with the Loan Assumption.  The provisions of this Section 14(d) shall survive the Closing.

 

(e) Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising out of false or inaccurate information provided by or on behalf of Seller to Purchaser or Lender in connection with the Loan Assumption.  The provisions of this Section 14(e) shall survive the Closing.

 

(f) At Closing, Purchaser shall be obligated to pay the Loan Assumption fee identified in Section 16(b)(ii) of this Agreement.  Purchaser shall otherwise be obligated to fund an amount not to exceed $50,000 of the following costs and expenses associated with the Loan Assumption and Lender’s Consent: (i) Lender’s attorneys fees, (ii) the costs of all new third party reports (or updates to existing third party reports) required by Lender and (iii) all other review fees charged by Lender in its consideration of the Loan Assumption.  Such costs and expenses shall be paid for by Purchaser at the earlier of Closing or upon the termination of this Agreement not arising from Seller’s default (and if arising from Seller’s default such costs and expenses shall be paid by Seller).  Seller shall be obligated to fund all costs set forth in the preceding sentence in excess of $50,000, and such costs and expenses shall be paid for by Seller at the earlier of Closing or upon the termination of this Agreement not arising from Purchaser’s default (and if arising from Purchaser’s default such costs and expenses shall be paid by Purchaser).  In addition to the foregoing, Purchaser shall be responsible for the costs to obtain an endorsement to Lender’s existing title policy (together with the cost of all corresponding title work) and all of Purchaser’s legal fees and the fees for the non-consolidation legal opinion, if required by Lender.  Seller shall be responsible for the costs of all of Seller’s legal fees.

 

(g) Purchaser shall be responsible for all interest due under the Loan beginning on the Closing Date.

 

15. PRORATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS.

 

(a) Rents (Leases).

 

(i) Closing.  Seller shall pay to Purchaser at the Closing the total amount of Rent and Parking Deck/Security Personnel Expenses/ Amortized Equipment Costs (as defined in the Leases) under the Leases (collectively, “Rents”) paid by Tenants under the Leases for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs (“Closing Month”), prorated for number of days during such calendar month from, including and after the Closing Date.

 

(ii) Post-Closing.  After the Closing, Purchaser shall make good faith efforts to collect all unpaid Rents for any period prior to the Closing Date, provided that Purchaser shall have no obligation to institute litigation or terminate any Leases in connection with any such collections. Without limitation of the foregoing, Seller hereby reserve the right to collect Delinquent Rents (defined below) after the Closing, but shall not have the right to file an action for collection against the Tenant.  If with respect to a particular Lease there are, as of the Closing, unpaid Rents for the Closing Month or any period prior to the Closing Month (collectively with respect to such Lease, “Delinquent Rents”), then until all of such Delinquent Rents are paid in full, each payment of Rents received by Seller or Purchaser with respect to such Lease shall be applied (A) first, to Delinquent Rents payable for the Closing Month, if any, (B) second, to Rents payable for any period prior to the Closing Month, and (C) third, the Delinquent Rents payable after the Closing Month.  With respect to each particular Lease, as long as there are Delinquent Rents with respect to such Lease, if Seller or Purchaser receives any payment of Rents with respect to such Lease after the Closing, then each shall retain or pay such amounts (or portions thereof) in order that such payments are applied in the manner set forth in this subsection (ii), provided that any amounts applied under subsection (A) shall be prorated with respect to Purchaser for the number of days during the Closing Month from, including and after the Closing Date, and with respect to Seller for the number of days during the Closing Month before the Closing Date.

 

(b) Real Estate Taxes.

 

(i) Delinquent Taxes.  Seller shall pay to the applicable tax authorities at or prior to the Closing all real estate taxes with respect to the Land and Improvements (“Taxes”) which are delinquent as of the Closing.

 

(ii) Prepaid Taxes. If any portion of the Taxes paid by Seller with respect to the Land and Improvements at or prior to the Closing is for the calendar year (“Tax Period”) which includes the period from, including or after the Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Seller at the Closing the amount of the Taxes paid for such Tax Period prorated for the number of days, from, including and after the Closing through the end of such Tax Period.

 

(iii) Accrued Taxes. If any Taxes have not been paid with respect to the Land and Improvements for a particular Tax Period which includes a period before the Closing, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser at the Closing an amount equal to the Taxes which would be payable for such Tax Period assuming the tax rate used to determine the most recently paid Taxes and the value most recently assessed by applicable tax authorities for which all contests and appeals have expired (“Assumed Taxes”), prorated for the number of days before the Closing during such Tax Period for which such Taxes have not been paid.  After the Closing, (A) if the actual Taxes (determined after the expiration of all contests and appeals) are greater than the Assumed Taxes for such Tax Period, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such difference, prorated for the number of days before the Closing during such Tax Period for which such Taxes have not been paid, and (B) if the actual Taxes (determined after the expiration of all contests and appeals) are less than the Assumed Taxes for such Tax Period, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of such difference, prorated for the number of days before the Closing during such Tax Period for which such Taxes have not been paid.

 

(iv) Tax Refunds. All refunds of Taxes received by Seller or Purchaser after the Closing with respect to the Real Property (“Tax Refunds”) shall be applied (A) first, to Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, to the extent of third Party expenses incurred by it in protesting and obtaining such Tax Refund, (B) second, to Purchaser to the extent that such Tax Refund is required to be paid (or credited against other amounts payable by) the Tenants under the Leases, and (C) third, (x) to Seller if such Tax Refund is for any Tax Period which ends before the Closing, (y) to Purchaser if such Tax Refund is for any Tax Period which commences after the Closing, and (z) with respect to any Tax Refund for any Tax Period in which the Closing occurs, (1) to Seller in an amount prorated for the number of days from, including and after the commencement of such Tax Period until the day before the Closing, and (2) to Purchaser in the amount of such refund prorated for the number of days from, including and after the date of the Closing through the end of such Tax Period.  If Seller or Purchaser receives any Tax Refund, then each shall retain or pay such amounts (or portions thereof) in order that such payments are applied in the manner set forth in this subsection (iv).  Purchaser acknowledges that Seller is presently pursuing a real estate tax appeal with respect to the Property, and Purchaser agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller in pursuing such appeal to the extent that same is ongoing after Closing.

 

(v) Installments. To the extent that Taxes for a particular Tax Period include special assessments or installments of special assessments, for the purpose of this subsection (b), Taxes for such Tax Period shall be determined assuming payment over the longest period of time permitted by the applicable taxing authorities.

 

(c) Utilities.  Prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall notify each of the utility companies which provide services to the Land and Improvements of the scheduled transfer of the Land and Improvements on the Closing Date, and make appropriate arrangements with the utility companies to bill Seller for services provided before the Closing Date, and to Purchaser for services provided on and after the Closing Date. If such arrangements cannot, or are not, made as of the Closing, then Purchaser shall make the appropriate arrangements promptly after Closing, and promptly after such arrangements are made, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the cost of the services that were billed to Seller, for the period from and after Closing, and Seller shall pay the same to the appropriate utility company.  Seller will not assign, and will seek the return of, any deposits or other forms of security held by the utility companies in connection with such services.  Should such deposit or other forms of security not be returned to Seller but are applied to Purchaser’s account, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller at Closing for the full amount thereof.

 

(d) Service Contracts.  With respect to each Contract, at the Closing (i) Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of accrued and unpaid charges for services rendered before the Closing prorated on a per diem basis, and (ii) Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of prepaid charges for services rendered on and after the Closing prorated on a per diem basis.

If, as a result of any such reconciliations, the Tenants owe money to the landlord, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller (within five (5) Business Days after such amounts have been received by Purchaser), a pro rata share thereof determined on a per diem basis for the number of days during the Fiscal Year before the date of the Closing. If, as a result of any such reconciliations, the landlord owes money to the Tenants, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser (within five (5) Business Days after such amounts have been finally determined), a pro rata share thereof determined on a per diem basis for the number of days during the Fiscal Year before the date of the Closing.

 

(g) Estimates.  The amount of payments by Seller or Purchaser under this Section 15 may have been based on estimates of applicable amounts.  If any payments by Seller or Purchaser at the Closing under this Section 15 are based on estimates, then, when the actual amounts are finally determined, Seller and Purchaser shall recalculate the amounts that would have been paid at the Closing based on such actual amounts, and Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall make an appropriate payment to the other based on such recalculation.

 

(h) Reserve, Escrow and Deposit Accounts.  At Closing, Seller shall be entitled to either (i) reimbursement from Lender for all sums held in reserve, escrow and deposit accounts under the Loan, including, without limitation, reserve accounts for real property taxes, casualty insurance, capital repairs and replacements and similar items, or (ii) a credit from Purchaser equal to all such sums held in reserve, escrow and deposit accounts under the Loan, in the event that such accounts are assigned to Purchaser in connection with the Loan Assumption.

 

(i) Prorations.  All prorations under this Section 15 for a particular period shall be on a per diem basis assuming an equal amount is payable on each day during such period.

Purchaser agrees that Purchaser is purchasing the Property in “AS IS”, “WHERE IS”, “WITH ALL FAULTS” condition, and without any warranties, representations or guarantees, either express or implied, of any kind, nature, or type whatsoever from, or on behalf of, Seller, (except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the Closing Documents) specifically, (without limiting the generality of the foregoing), without any warranty of (i) the value or utility of the Property, (ii) the nature or quality of the construction, structural design or engineering of the Improvements, (iii) the quality of the labor and materials included in the Improvements, (iv) the sewer conditions existing at the Land for any particular purpose, (v) the presence or absence of any hazardous substances or matter in or on the Land or Improvements, (vi) compliance of the Property with any applicable laws, regulations or other governmental requirements, or (vii) the accuracy of any information provided by Seller to Purchaser.  WITHOUT IN ANY WAY LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE, PURCHASER AND SELLER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND CLOSING THE TRANSACTIONS HEREUNDER, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OF THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS, SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND TO PURCHASER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE LAND AND ANY IMPROVEMENTS, OR THEIR SUITABILITY FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OF MERCHANTABILITY.  IF THE CLOSING OCCURS, THEN PURCHASER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED ALL LIABILITY OF AND CLAIMS AGAINST SELLER WITH RESPECT TO THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, STRUCTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS (AND ANY REMEDIATION, CONTRIBUTION OR INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS).

 

(i) except as provided in this Agreement and in the Closing Documents, Seller and its affiliates, and its and their officers, managers, members, directors, employees and agents, expressly disclaims, has not made, will not, and does not, make, any warranties or representations, express or implied, with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, the physical condition or repair or disrepair thereof, the value, profitability or marketability thereof, or of any of the appurtenances, facilities or equipment thereon;

 

(ii) Seller and its affiliates, and its and their officers, directors, managers, members, employees and agents, expressly disclaims, has not made, will not, and does not, make, any warranties, express or implied, of merchantability, habitability or fitness for a particular use; and

 

(iii) The rights granted to Purchaser under this Agreement will permit Purchaser a full investigation of the Property, and the Parties hereto are fully satisfied with the opportunity afforded for investigation.  Neither Party is relying upon any statement or representation by the other unless such statement or representation is specifically set forth in this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents which representations and statements are subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement.  Upon the Closing, Purchaser shall be deemed to have made such legal, factual and other inquiries and investigations as Purchaser deems necessary, desirable or appropriate with respect to the Property, the value and marketability thereof, and of the appurtenances, facilities and equipment thereof.  Such inquiries and investigations of Purchaser shall be deemed to include, but shall not be limited to, the physical components of all portions of the Improvements, the condition of repair of the Property or any portion thereof, such state of facts as an accurate survey would show, and the present and future zoning, ordinances, resolutions and regulations of the city, county and state where the Property is located.

 

(b) Release.  Without in any way limiting the generality of the preceding subsection (a), except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any of the Closing Documents, Purchaser specifically acknowledges and agrees that it hereby waives, releases and discharges all claims, demands, legal or administrative proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs for expenses known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, it has, might have had, or may have, against each and/or any of Seller and its affiliates, and their managers, members, officers, directors, employees and agents, relating to, arising out of with respect to or any way connected with (i) the condition of the Property, either patent or latent, (ii) Purchaser’s ability, or inability, to obtain or maintain temporary or final certificates of occupancy or other licenses for the use or operation of the Improvements, and/or certificates of compliance for the Improvements, (iii) the actual or potential income, or profits, to be derived from the Property, (iv) the real estate, or other, taxes or special assessments, now or hereafter payable on account of, or with respect to, the Property, (v) Purchaser’s ability or inability to demolish the Improvements or otherwise develop the Property, (vi) the environmental condition of the Land or Improvements, (vii) the condition of title to the Property; (viii) the Property’s compliance with any applicable federal, state or local, law, rule or regulation, or (ix) any other matter relating to the Property.  The release set forth in this Section 22(b) includes claims of which Purchaser is presently unaware or which Purchaser does not presently suspect to exist which, if known by Purchaser, would materially affect Purchaser’s release of Seller.

 

(c) Survival.  The terms and provisions of this Section 22 shall survive Closing and/or the termination of this Agreement.

 

23. POST-CLOSING PUBLICATION

 

.  After the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall agree upon a press release and shall thereafter jointly announce the acquisition of the Property; provided, however, Seller acknowledges that Purchaser shall be permitted to file a copy of this Agreement with the SEC in accordance with Section 21.

 

24. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

 

(a) Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and exhibits hereto constitute the entire agreement of Seller and Purchaser with respect to sale of the Property and supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements, whether express or implied.

 

(b) Amendments.  This Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement executed and delivered by Seller and Purchaser.

 

(c) Waivers.  No waiver of any provision or condition of, or default under, this Agreement by any Party shall be valid unless in writing signed by such Party.  No such waiver shall be taken as a waiver of any other or similar provision or of any future event, act, or default.

 

(d) Time.  Time is of the essence of this Agreement.  In the computation of any period of time provided for in this Agreement or by law, the day of the act or event from which the period of time runs shall be excluded, and the last day of such period shall be included, unless it is not a Business Day, in which case it shall run to the next day which is a Business Day.  All times of the day set forth herein shall be Eastern Standard Time.

 

(e) Unenforceability.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable in whole or in part, such provision shall be limited to the extent necessary to render the same valid, or shall be excised from this Agreement, as circumstances require, and this Agreement shall be construed as if said provision had been incorporated herein as so limited, or as if said provision has not been included herein, as the case may be.

 

(f) Assignment.  Purchaser may neither assign its rights under this Agreement nor delegate its duties hereunder without the prior express written consent of Seller; provided Purchaser may assign this Agreement to the special purpose entity approved by Lender but in such event Purchaser shall not be released from and shall remain obligated for all obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement.  Any assignment or delegation by Purchaser in violation of this Section 24(f) shall be void and of no effect.

 

(g) Notices.  Any notices or other communications permitted or required to be given hereunder shall be in writing, shall be delivered personally, by reputable overnight delivery service, or by fax (provided a hard copy is delivered on the next Business Day by personal delivery or reputable overnight delivery service), and shall be addressed to the respective Party as set forth in this subsection (g).  All notices and communications shall be deemed given and effective upon receipt thereof.

(h) Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the internal laws of the State of North Carolina without regard to the laws regarding conflicts of laws.

 

(i) Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, any or all of which may contain the signatures of less than all of the Parties, and all of which shall be construed together as a single instrument.  The Parties executing this Agreement may sign separate signature pages and it shall not be necessary for all Parties to sign all signature pages, but rather the signature pages may be combined.  Facsimile or .PDF file signatures shall be as binding as original signatures.

 

(j) Construction.  Seller and Purchaser agree that each and its counsel have reviewed and approved this Agreement, and that any rules of construction which provide that ambiguities be resolved against the drafting Party shall not be used in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments or exhibits hereto.  The words “include”, “including”, “includes and any other derivation of “include” means “including, but not limited to” unless specifically set forth to the contrary. Headings of sections herein are for convenience of reference only, and shall not be construed as a part of this Agreement. Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, references to “sections” or “subsections” in this Agreement shall refer to sections and subsections of this Agreement, and references to “exhibits” in this Agreement shall mean exhibits attached to this Agreement.  The submission of drafts of this Agreement or comments or revisions thereto, shall not constitute an offer, counter-offer or acceptance; and no Party shall be bound hereby or entitled to rely hereon, unless and until this Agreement has been executed and delivered by Seller and Purchaser.

 

(k) No Recording.  Subject to the permitted disclosures under Section 21, Purchaser shall not, and shall not cause or permit any other Person to, record this Agreement or any memorandum or other evidence thereof in any public records.  If Purchaser violates the terms of this subsection (k), then this Agreement shall be deemed ipso facto terminated, the Earnest Money Deposit (together with all interest thereon) shall be paid to Seller, and Purchaser shall have no further interest in the Property pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise provided Purchaser shall be bound to the provisions that survive termination of this Agreement.

 

(l) No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is for the sole benefit of Purchaser and Seller and no other Person is intended to be a beneficiary of this Agreement.

 

(m) Cooperation with Purchaser’s Auditors and SEC Filing Requirements.  Seller shall provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s expense) copies of, or shall provide Purchaser access to during normal business hours and upon seven (7) days prior written notice, such factual information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, and in the possession of Seller, or its property manager or accountants, to enable Purchaser’s auditor (Deloitte & Touche LLP or any successor auditor selected by Purchaser) to conduct an audit of the income statements of the Property for the year to date of the year in which the Closing occurs and the prior calendar year of 2009 for the sole purpose of complying with the Section 314 audit requirements.  Purchaser shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs associated with this audit and Purchaser’s request of Seller.  Seller shall reasonably cooperate (at no cost to Seller) with Purchaser’s auditor in the conduct of such audit by providing such information.  In addition, Seller agrees to provide to Purchaser’s auditor, if requested by such auditor, historical financial statements for the Property during Seller’s ownership of the Property, including income and balance sheet data for the Property, whether required before or after Closing for the sole purpose of complying with Section 314 audit requirements.  Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Purchaser or its designated independent auditor or other auditor may audit Seller’s operating statements of the Property for the calendar year 2009 and 2010 until Closing at Purchaser’s expense, and Seller shall furnish to Purchaser such non-privileged financial and other information as may be reasonably required by Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser to make any required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authority; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations of Seller shall be limited to providing such information or documentation as may be in the possession of Seller, its property manager or accountants, at no cost to Seller, and in the format that Seller (or its property manager or accountants) have maintained such information.  Seller’s obligations under this Section 24(m) shall survive Closing for a period of twelve (12) months.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) all information provided by Seller is without representation or warranty by Seller or recourse to Purchaser and (ii) Seller’s delivery requirements shall be limited to information during the period of Seller’s ownership of the Property.

 

25. BLOCKED PERSON CERTIFICATION

 

.  Purchaser understands that Executive Order 13224 and the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto provide that any transfer of property or interest in property with a person or entity (“Blocked Person”) listed on Appendix A to Title 31, Chapter V of the Code of Federal Regulations (the “Suspected Terrorist List”) is “null and void” and the party entering such transaction with a Blocked Person could be subject to monetary penalties or imprisonment in accordance with 31 CFR ‘594.701.  Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that Purchase is not an entity or organization listed on the Suspected Terrorist List and Purchaser’s United State taxpayer identification number is 26-4000369.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 23, Purchaser acknowledges that this Section 25 may be disclosed to the Office of Foreign Assets Control, a division of the United States Treasury Department, or other governmental authorities.

 

26. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER – BRICKMAN II PROPERTY

 

.  At Closing, Brickman II will by way of separate agreement (the “Brickman II Agreement”) grant unto Hines Global REIT Properties LP (“HGRP”) a right of first offer (“First Offer Right”) for the Brickman II Property, such property commonly known as Hock Plaza II under the following terms and conditions:

 

(a) Procedure.  In the event Brickman II determines that it desires to sell the Brickman II Property or all or substantially all of the membership interests in Brickman II, then Brickman II shall give written notice thereof to HGRP (the “Offer Notice”).  HGRP shall respond to the Offer Notice by written notice to Brickman II within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Offer Notice, time being of the essence (the “Offer Response Period”) that it desires to make an offer to purchase the Brickman II Property or that it elects not to make an offer to purchase the Brickman II Property (the “Offer Response Notice”).  After HGRP has delivered the Offer Response Notice to Brickman II, Brickman II shall deliver to HGRP the following due diligence materials with respect to the Brickman II Property: (i) copies of all leases and amendments thereto, (ii) operating statements, with expense detail, for the previous two years, (iii) ARGUS or similar software files and (iv) a rent roll (collectively, the “Brickman II Evaluation Materials”).  HGRP shall have ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of the Brickman II Evaluation Materials, time being of the essence (the “Pricing Period”) within which to deliver to Brickman II a proposed purchase price for the Brickman II Property (the “Purchase Price Notice”).  Failure to timely respond within the Offer Response Period or the Pricing Period, time being of the essence, shall be deemed an election by HGRP that it elects not to make an offer to purchase the Brickman II Property.  If HGRP responds within the Offer Response Period and thereafter within the Pricing Period that it desires to make an offer to purchase the Brickman II Property, then HGRP and Brickman II shall discuss the terms of the offer, which offer may be rejected or accepted by Brickman II in its sole discretion within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of the Purchase Price Notice.  If HGRP and Brickman II agree on the terms of the offer, then HGRP and Brickman II shall execute and deliver a mutually acceptable purchase agreement for the purchase and sale of the Brickman II Property in substantially the same form as this Agreement with the exception of the economic terms (the “Purchase Agreement”) within twenty (20) days after Brickman II elects to accept HGRP’s proposed purchase price, time being of the essence (the “Contract Period”).

 

(b) Termination of Right.  The First Offer Right shall terminate and be void and of no effect the earlier of the first of the following to occur:  (i) the date of the Response Notice constituting HGRP’s election not to make an offer to purchase the Brickman II Property; (ii) the expiration of the Offer Response Period if the Offer Response Notice is not delivered within the Offer Response Period; (iii) the expiration of the Pricing Period if the proposed purchase price is not delivered within the Pricing Period; (iv) if the Purchase Agreement is not executed and delivered by HGRP and Brickman II prior to the expiration of the Contract Period, (v) twenty-four (24) months from the date Duke or DUHS leases the remaining leasable space in the Brickman II Property, (vi) any involuntary transfer of the Brickman II Property, including without limitation, transfer in foreclosure, transfer in lieu of foreclosure, condemnation or deed in lieu of condemnation, bankruptcy or court ordered estate litigation, or (vii) the inclusion of the Brickman II Property in a group of properties for sale by Brickman II and its affiliates (provided if the Brickman II Property and the Brickman DFC Property are the only two properties in the group this termination shall not apply and the First Offer Right shall apply to both the Brickman II Property and the Brickman DFC Property collectively).  Upon termination of the First Offer Right, Brickman II shall be free to sell or transfer the Brickman II Property free of the First Offer Right and subsequent purchasers shall not be bound by the First Offer Right.

 

(c) Exclusions from First Offer Right.  The First Offer Right shall not apply to:  (i) mortgage financing transactions, (ii) sale and leaseback financings, synthetic leases or any other off balance sheet financing, (iii) grants of easements, leases, usufructs, licenses, concession agreements or transfers not in fee, or (iv) transfers to an affiliate of Brickman II; provided, however, the First Offer Right shall remain in full force and effect after any or all of (i)–(iv) until terminated as provided in subsection (b) above.

 

(d) Assignment.  The First Offer Right may not be assigned by HGRP either independently or by assignment of this Agreement and any such assignment shall be null and void.

 

(e) Notwithstanding a failure to elect to purchase the Brickman II Property, a failure to execute the Purchase Agreement, or the termination of the First Offer Right, HGRP may participate in any bidding for the sale of the Brickman II Property.

 

27. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER – BRICKMAN DFC PROPERTY

 

.  At Closing, Brickman DFC will by way of separate agreement (the “Brickman DFC Agreement”) grant unto HGRP a right of first offer (“DFC First Offer Right”) for the Brickman DFC Property, commonly known as the Duke Fertility Clinic, under the following terms and conditions:

 

(a) Procedure.  In the event Brickman DFC determines that it desires to sell the Brickman DFC Property or all or substantially all of the membership interests in Brickman DFC, then Brickman DFC shall give written notice thereof to HGRP (the “DFC Offer Notice”).  HGRP shall respond to the DFC Offer Notice by written notice to Brickman DFC within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the DFC Offer Notice, time being of the essence (the “DFC Offer Response Period”) that it desires to make an offer to purchase the Brickman DFC Property or that it elects not to make an offer to purchase the Brickman DFC Property (the “DFC Offer Response Notice”).  After HGRP has delivered the DFC Offer Response Notice to Brickman DFC, Brickman DFC shall deliver to HGRP the following due diligence materials with respect to the Brickman DFC Property: (i) copies of all leases and amendments thereto, (ii) operating statements, with expense detail, for the previous two years, (iii) ARGUS or similar software files and (iv) a rent roll (collectively, the “Brickman DFC Evaluation Materials”).  HGRP shall have ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of the Brickman DFC Evaluation Materials, time being of the essence (the “DFC Pricing Period”) within which to deliver to Brickman DFC a proposed purchase price for the Brickman DFC Property (the “DFC Purchase Price Notice”).  Failure to timely respond within the DFC Offer Response Period or the DFC Pricing Period, time being of the essence, shall be deemed an election by HGRP that it elects not to make an offer to purchase the Brickman DFC Property.  If HGRP responds within the DFC Offer Response Period and thereafter within the DFC Pricing Period that it desires to make an offer to purchase the Brickman DFC Property, then HGRP and Brickman DFC shall discuss the terms of the offer, which offer may be rejected or accepted by Brickman DFC in its sole discretion within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of the DFC Purchase Price Notice.  If HGRP and Brickman DFC agree on the terms of the offer then HGRP and Brickman DFC shall execute and deliver a mutually acceptable purchase agreement for the purchase and sale of the Brickman DFC Property in substantially the same form as this Agreement with the exception of the economic terms (the “DFC Purchase Agreement”) within twenty (20) days after Brickman DFC elects to accept HGRP’s proposed purchase price, time being of the essence (the “DFC Contract Period”).

 

(b) Termination of Right.  The DFC First Offer Right shall terminate and be void and of no effect the earlier of the first of the following to occur:  (i) the date of the DFC Response Notice constituting HGRP’s election not to make an offer to purchase the Brickman DFC Property; (ii) the expiration of the DFC Offer Response Period if the DFC Offer Response Notice is not delivered within the DFC Offer Response Period; (iii) the expiration of the DFC Pricing Period if the proposed purchase price is not delivered within the DFC Pricing Period; (iv) if the Purchase Agreement is not executed and delivered by HGRP and Brickman DFC prior to the expiration of the DFC Contract Period, (v) twenty-four (24) months from the date Duke or DUHS leases the remaining leasable space in the Brickman II Property; (vi) any involuntary transfer of the Brickman DFC Property, including without limitation, transfer in foreclosure, transfer in lieu of foreclosure, condemnation or deed in lieu of condemnation, bankruptcy or court ordered estate litigation, or (vii) the inclusion of the Brickman DFC Property in a group of properties for sale by Brickman DFC and its affiliates (provided if the Brickman II Property and the Brickman DFC Property are the only two properties in the group this termination shall not apply and the DFC First Offer Right shall apply to both the Brickman II Property and the Brickman DFC Property collectively).  Upon termination of the DFC First Offer Right, Brickman DFC shall be free to sell or transfer the Brickman DFC Property free of the DFC First Offer Right and subsequent purchasers shall not be bound by the DFC First Offer Right.

 

(c) Exclusions from First Offer Right.  The First Offer Right shall not apply to:  (i) mortgage financing transactions, (ii) sale and leaseback financings, synthetic leases or any other off balance sheet financing, (iii) grants of easements, leases, usufructs, licenses, concession agreements or transfers not in fee, or (iv) transfers to an affiliate of Brickman DFC; provided, however, the First Offer Right shall remain in full force and effect after any or all of (i)–(iv) until terminated as provided in subsection (b) above.

 

(d) Assignment.  The First Offer Right may not be assigned by HGRP either independently or by assignment of this Agreement and any such assignment shall be null and void.

 

(e) Notwithstanding a failure to elect to purchase the Brickman DFC Property, a failure to execute the Purchase Agreement, or the termination of the First Offer Right, HGRP may participate in any bidding for the sale of the Brickman DFC Property.
