If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof or if the transactions do not close, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer or delivered to Sellers (prorated in proportion to the allocation of the Purchase Price) as otherwise specified in this Agreement.   In the event that the completion of the IPO does not occur on or before September 30, 2014, Sellers may at any time thereafter but prior to the completion of the IPO, by written notice to Buyer, terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall be delivered to and retained by Sellers.

 

Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Buyer has delivered to the Escrow Holder, for delivery by the Escrow Holder to Sellers as further consideration for this Agreement, the sum of One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00) (the “Independent Contract Consideration”), which amount has been bargained for and agreed to as consideration for Sellers’ execution and delivery of this Agreement.  At Closing, the Independent Contract Consideration shall not be applied to the Purchase Price.

 

3.                                      DELIVERY OF MATERIALS FOR REVIEW.  On or before the date which is three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer at Buyer’s address set forth in Section 2 above, the materials listed on Exhibit B (collectively, the “Documents”), if any, which are in Sellers’ possession, for Buyer’s review.  In the alternative, at Sellers’ option and within the foregoing five (5) day period, Sellers may make the Documents which are in Sellers’ possession available to Buyer on a secure web site, and in such event, Buyer agrees that any item to be delivered by Sellers under this Agreement shall be deemed delivered to the extent available to Buyer on such secured web site.  Without limitation on the foregoing, Sellers shall make any other documents, files and information reasonably requested by Buyer concerning the Property and which are in Sellers’ possession or control available for Buyer’s inspection at Sellers’ general offices or such other location as shall be mutually convenient to the parties.  Sellers make no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the Documents that were not prepared by any Seller.

 

4.                                      CONTINGENCIES.  Buyer’s obligation under this Agreement to purchase the Property and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby is subject to and conditioned upon, among other things, the satisfaction or waiver by Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion and in the manner hereinafter provided, of each of the contingencies (individually, a “Contingency”, and collectively, the “Contingencies”) set forth in this Section 4 in each case within the Contingency Period.

 

(a)                                 Property Review.  On or before the expiration of the Contingency Period, Sellers shall have given Buyer an opportunity to conduct its due diligence review, investigation and analysis of the Property (the “Due Diligence Review”) independently or through agents of Buyer’s own choosing, and Buyer shall have completed and shall be satisfied, in Buyer’s sole and

 

8

 

absolute discretion, with Buyer’s Due Diligence Review, which may include, but shall not necessarily be limited to, Buyer’s review, investigation and analysis of: (i) all of the Documents; (ii) the physical condition of the Property; (iii) the adequacy and availability at reasonable prices of all necessary utilities, including, without limitation, the services necessary to operate the Improvements for Buyer’s intended use of the Property; (iv) the adequacy and suitability of applicable zoning and Approvals; (v) the Leases and the obligations from and to the Tenants thereunder; (vi) market feasibility studies; and (vii) such tests and inspections of the Property as Buyer may deem necessary or desirable.

 

(b)                                 Environmental Audit.  On or before the expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer shall have completed to the satisfaction of Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, an environmental audit and assessment of the Real Property (the “Environmental Audit”), including but not limited to the performance of such tests and inspections as Buyer may deem necessary or desirable, subject to the terms and provisions hereof, in order to determine the presence or absence of any Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section 12(i) hereof).

 

(c)                                  Tenant Estoppels.  On or before the expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer shall have received an estoppel certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (a “Tenant Estoppel”) (other than Suniva, Inc., which shall have a different from of estoppel certificate), executed by each Tenant under each of the Leases with respect to the status of such Lease, rent payments, Tenant improvements, lease defaults and other matters relating to such Lease, and disclosing no defaults, disputes or other matters objectionable to Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion.  With respect to Suniva, Inc., on or before the expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer shall have received an estoppel certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2 (the “Suniva Estoppel”), executed by Suniva, Inc. under its Lease with respect to the status of its Lease, rent payments, Tenant improvements, lease defaults and other matters relating to its Lease, and disclosing no defaults, disputes or other matters objectionable to Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

(d)                                 Bond Lease Estoppels.  On or before the expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer shall have received (a) an estoppel certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Q executed by the Issuer (as defined in the Bond Lease) with respect to the status of the Bond Lease Documents, rent payments, bond payments, lease defaults and other matters relating to the Bond Lease Documents, and disclosing no defaults, disputes or other matters objectionable to Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion and (b) an estoppel certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit R executed by the Trustee (as defined in the Bond Lease) with respect to the status of the Bond Lease Documents, rent payments, bond payments, lease defaults and other matters relating to the Bond Lease Documents, and disclosing no defaults, disputes or other matters objectionable to Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

(e)                                  Board Approval.  On or before the expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer shall have obtained approval for the transaction contemplated by this Agreement from its Board of Directors (“Board Approval”).  The failure of Buyer to obtain Board Approval shall in no event be used as the basis for contesting a claim by any Seller that it is entitled to the Deposit following a default by Buyer or as a defense against any claim of indemnity by Seller.

 

9

 

(f)                                   Lender Approval & Loan Assumption.  On or before the expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer shall have obtained (a) Lender’s approval of the Loan Assumption on terms acceptable to Buyer in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion and (b) Lender shall have provided to Buyer such estoppel information with respect to the Loan Assumption as Buyer shall have reasonably requested.  Buyer agrees to complete and execute an application to assume the Loan and the Loan Documents within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date.  Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of Lender described herein, and Sellers, at no material cost or expense to Sellers, agree to reasonably cooperate with Buyer and Lender to obtain such approval, with the parties agreeing that time is of the essence.  Buyer and Sellers agree to reasonably cooperate with each other and with Lender to prepare the final form of each of the Loan Assumption Documents prior to expiration of the Contingency Period in form and substance reasonably acceptable to each of Buyer, Sellers and Lender.  In connection with the Loan Assumption, the Buyer plans to have Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (i.e., the Buyer) serve as the guarantor and a newly formed limited liability company serve as the borrower.

 

The foregoing Due Diligence Review, Environmental Audit, Tenant Estoppel, Board Approval and Lender Approval & Loan Assumption Contingencies are solely for Buyer’s benefit and only Buyer may determine such Contingencies to be satisfied or waived in writing. Buyer shall have the Contingency Period in which to satisfy or waive such Contingencies by delivering written notice to Sellers with a copy to Escrow Holder.  Each Contingency shall be deemed to have been satisfied or waived by Buyer unless prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer delivers to Sellers a written notice terminating this Agreement (“Buyer’s Termination Notice”).  During the Contingency Period, Buyer may elect not to purchase the Property for any reason or for no reason whatsoever, all in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

5.                                      BUYER’S EXTENSION RIGHT.  If, (a) at any time during the Contingency Period, Buyer determines in its sole and absolute discretion that a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment is necessary to determine whether the Contingencies have been satisfied or (b) as of two (2) Business Days prior to expiration of the Contingency Period, Lender has not approved the Loan Assumption, then, in either case, Buyer shall have the right to extend the Contingency Period for an additional thirty (30) days so that the Contingency Period will expire at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the date which is seventy-five (75) days after the Effective Date; Buyer may exercise this extension right by delivering written notice to Sellers on or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the Scheduled Contingency Expiration Date. For the sake of clarity, the parties acknowledge that Buyer shall not have the right to extend the Contingency Period under clause (b) of the first sentence of this paragraph if Lender approves the Loan Assumption on or before two (2) Business Days prior to expiration of the Contingency Period, regardless of whether Buyer finds the terms of such approval acceptable.

 

6.                                      ADDITIONAL TERMINATION RIGHTS.

 

(a)                                 If Buyer fails to obtain Lender’s approval of the Loan Assumption on or before the expiration of the Contingency Period, then Sellers may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Buyer at any time after expiration of the Contingency Period but prior to the date that Lender’s approval of the Loan Assumption is obtained.

 

10

 

(b)                                 If Buyer first obtains Lender’s approval of the Loan Assumption after expiration of the Contingency Period, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Sellers (Buyer’s Loan Assumption Rejection Notice”) on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days after Buyer receives Lender’s written approval of the Loan Assumption if such Lender’s approval does not meet all of the following requirements: (1) the same shall be on terms and with documentation that is reasonable in the context of a CMBS assumption; (2) the same shall permit Buyer to assume the Loan without material adverse modification in or addition to any of the economic terms of, or the exposure of liability to Buyer or any guarantor of the entity that takes title to the Property in connection with, the Loan Documents (it being understood that any change in rate, term, extension options, prepayment, amortization, cash management or sweeps or reserves, or expansion of non-recourse carve-outs loans, or any liability or recourse to any person or entity other than the entity that takes title to the Property, shall be deemed to be a material adverse change) or, in the event of such modification, the express, prior approval of such modification by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion; (3) the Loan Assumption shall provide that Buyer and any principals or guarantors of Buyer who execute any guaranties or indemnities in connection with the Loan shall not be responsible for any obligations or liabilities under the Loan or the Loan Documents that accrue or arise before the Closing Date; and (4) reasonable modifications are made to the transfer provisions to allow certain reasonable requested direct and indirect limited liability company interests (or other equity interests if applicable) of Buyer to be subsequently transferred without notice to or consent by Lender.

 

(c)                                  If (i) Buyer delivers Buyer’s Termination Notice to Sellers prior to the end of the Contingency Period, as it may be extended, (ii) Lender’s approval of the Loan Assumption is not obtained prior to the end of the Contingency Period, as it may be extended, and Sellers exercise the termination right set forth in Section 6(a) or (iii) Buyer delivers Buyer’s Loan Assumption Rejection Notice within the time specified in Section 6(b) above then, in the event of any of (i), (ii) and/or (iii), this Agreement shall terminate without the further action of any party.  Upon any such termination, Escrow Holder shall return the Deposit (if any) to Buyer and, except for those provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall have no further obligations hereunder.

 

7.                                      CONTRACTS.  With respect to the Existing Contracts only, prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer may furnish Sellers with a written notice of the contracts and agreements (the “Approved Contracts”) which Buyer has elected to assume at the Closing.  All Existing Contracts not included in any such notice shall be excluded from the Property to be conveyed to Buyer, and are herein collectively referred to as the “Rejected Contracts”, and, if Buyer fails to deliver such notice, all Existing Contracts shall be deemed Rejected Contracts.  Sellers shall at Sellers’ sole cost and expense terminate on or before the Closing Date all Rejected Contracts and shall deliver to Buyer evidence satisfactory to Buyer of Sellers’ termination on or prior to Closing of all Rejected Contracts.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Sellers agree to cause any existing property management agreements and any leasing listing agreements to be terminated effective as of the Closing Date and Sellers shall be solely responsible for any fees or payments due thereunder except that if, after the Effective Date (including periods after the Closing Date), (i) Buyer approves the expansion of the premises or renewal of the term of any of the Leases that are subject to the leasing listing agreements listed on Exhibit P, Buyer shall pay the commissions that become due

 

11

 

with respect to such renewal or expansion, and (ii) any current Tenant renews its lease or expands its premises, Buyer shall pay the commissions that become due with respect to such renewal or expansion and shall assume Seller’s listing agreements with respect to such commissions at Closing.

 

8.                                      TITLE COMMITMENT; SURVEY; SEARCHES.  Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby shall also be subject to and conditioned upon Buyer’s having approved the condition of title to the Property and surveys of the Real Property in the manner provided for in this Section 8.

 

(a)                                 Title Commitment.  On or before ten (10) days after the Effective Date, Sellers shall cause the Title Company to deliver commitments for each of the Parcels (collectively the “Title Commitments” and each a “Title Commitment”) to Buyer for the Title Policies (as defined in Section 9 hereof), issued by the Title Company showing Sellers as the owners of fee simple title to the Fee Parcel and the owners of a leasehold interest, pursuant to the Bond Lease, in the Leasehold Parcel, together with legible copies of all documents (“Exception Documents”) referred to in Schedule B of the Title Commitments.

 

(b)                                 Survey.  Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer to obtain an update of Sellers’ existing surveys from surveyors licensed in the states where the Real Property is located, which shall be certified to Buyer, Title Company and Buyer’s lender (if applicable) with a certification in accordance with the “Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys,” jointly established and adopted by ALTA and NSPS in 2011 and including items 1, 2, 3, 4, 6(a), 6(b), 7(a), 7(b)(1), 7(c), 8, 9, 10, 11(a), 11(b), 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20 and 21 ($1,000,000.00 minimum) of Table A (collectively the “Surveys” and each a “Survey”).  Sellers shall not be obligated to expend any funds with respect to the Surveys.

 

(c)                                  Searches.  Buyer may obtain current UCC, tax lien and judgment searches with respect to liens, security interests and adverse claims affecting Sellers or Sellers’ interest in the Real Property and/or the Personal Property (collectively, “Searches”).

 

(d)                                 Permitted/Unpermitted Exceptions.  Buyer shall have the right, until the date that is seven (7) days before the end of the Contingency Period, to object in writing (“Buyer’s Exception Notice”) to any title matters that are not Permitted Exceptions which are disclosed in the Title Commitments or Surveys (herein collectively called “Liens”).  Unless Buyer shall timely object to the Liens, such Liens shall be deemed to constitute additional Permitted Exceptions.  Any Liens which are timely objected to by Buyer shall be herein collectively called the “Title Objections.”  If, on or before two (2) Business Days before the end of the Contingency Period, Sellers fail to cause or covenant to Buyer in writing to remove or endorse over any Title Objections prior to the Closing in a manner satisfactory to Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion (Sellers having no obligation to agree to cure or correct any such Title Objections),  Buyer may elect, prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period to either (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Sellers and , thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive such Title Objections, in which event such Title Objections shall be deemed additional “Permitted Exceptions” and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price.  Buyer

 

12

 

shall have the right to amend Buyer’s Exception Notice (“Buyer’s Amended Exception Notice”) to object to any title matters that are not Permitted Exceptions which are disclosed in any supplemental reports or updates to the Title Commitments or Surveys delivered to Buyer after the end of the Contingency Period (which title matters were not reflected in the Title Commitments or Surveys provided to Buyer prior to the end of the Contingency Period) provided that Buyer objects to the same within five (5) days after Buyer’s receipt of the applicable supplemental reports or updates to the Title Commitments or Surveys but in no event after Closing.  If Sellers fail to take the action requested by Buyer in Buyer’s Amended Exception Notice, Buyer may elect prior to Closing to proceed under either clause (a) or (b) of the sentence which precedes the immediately preceding sentence.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lien which is a financial encumbrance such as a mortgage, deed of trust, or other debt security (other than the Loan, the lien(s) of which shall remain of record), attachment, judgment, lien for delinquent real estate taxes and delinquent assessments, mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien, which is outstanding against the Property, or any part thereof, that is revealed or disclosed by the Title Commitment or any updates thereto and/or the Searches (herein such matters are referred to as “Financial Encumbrances”) shall in no event be deemed a Permitted Exception, and Sellers hereby covenant to remove all Financial Encumbrances on or before the Closing Date.

 

(e)                                  Approved Title and Survey.  The condition of title as approved by Buyer in accordance with this Section 8 is referred to herein as the “Approved Title” and the Surveys as approved by Buyer in accordance with this Section 8 is referred to herein as the “Approved Survey”.

 

9.                                      DEED; TITLE POLICIES.  Sellers shall convey the Real Property to Buyer by (a) limited warranty deed in the form of Exhibit D (the “Deed”) with respect to the Fee Parcel, (b) an assignment and assumption of the Bond Lease Documents with respect to the Leasehold Parcel and (c) such other documents as are necessary for Buyer to acquire title to the Real Property of the same nature and quality as title is currently held by Sellers.  As a condition to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the purchase of the Property and other transactions contemplated hereby, as of Closing the Title Company shall be unconditionally committed to issue to Buyer ALTA extended coverage Owner’s Policies of Title Insurance for each of the Parcels in the amount of the Purchase Price allocable to each Parcel, dated effective as of the date the Deeds are recorded and insuring Buyer (or its nominee or assignee, if applicable) as the owner of good and indefeasible title to the Real Property (fee simple as to the Fee Parcel and leasehold interest as to the Leasehold Parcel), free from all Financial Encumbrances and subject to no exceptions other than Permitted Exceptions, together with such endorsements as required by Buyer in the Buyer’s Exception Notice, all in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer in its sole discretion (the “Title Policies”).  Buyer shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide such endorsements (or amendments) to the Title Policy as Buyer may require, provided that (a) such endorsements (or amendments) shall be at no cost to, and shall impose no additional liability on Sellers, except to the extent agreed to in writing by Sellers and (b) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditioned upon Buyer’s ability to obtain such endorsements except to the extent the Title Company commits to their issuance prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period.  Sellers shall deliver to the Title Company reasonable and customary instruments, documents, payments, indemnities, releases, evidence of authority and agreements relating to the issuance of the Title Policies based upon the requirements of Schedule

 

13

 

B of the Title Commitments applicable to Sellers, including without limitation a no lien, gap and possession affidavits in a form reasonably acceptable to the Title Company (each an “Owner’s Affidavit”), but in no event shall Sellers be obligated to execute or deliver any instrument, document, payment, indemnity, release or agreement for the purpose of eliminating any Permitted Exception as an exception to any Title Policy or which would have the practical effect of expanding the special warranty of title given by Sellers in the Deeds.

 

10.                               PRORATIONS.  The following prorations shall be made between Sellers and Buyer on the Closing Date, computed with income and expenses for the Closing Date itself being allocated to Buyer:

 

(a)                                 Rents Payable Under Leases.  The word “Rents” as used herein shall be deemed to include, without limitation, (i) fixed monthly rents and other fixed charges payable by the Tenants under the Leases, (ii), any amounts payable by the Tenants by reason of provisions of the Leases relating to escalations and pass-throughs of operating expenses and taxes, and adjustments for increases in the Consumer Price Index and the like, (iii) any percentage rents payable by the Tenants under the Leases, if any, and (iv) rents or other charges payable by the Tenants under the Leases for services of any kind provided to them (including, without limitation, making of repairs and improvements, the furnishing of heat, electricity, gas, water, other utilities and air-conditioning) for which a separate charge is made.

 

Sellers shall collect and retain all Rents due and payable prior to the Closing and Buyer shall receive a credit for all such collected Rents allocable to the period from and after the Closing Date, in each case, to the extent such Rents are actually received by Sellers prior to the Closing Date.  Rents collected subsequent to the Closing Date, net of costs of collection, if any, shall first be applied to such Tenant’s current Rent obligations and then to past due amounts in the reverse order in which they were due.  Subject to the foregoing, any such Rents collected by Buyer shall, to the extent properly allocable to periods prior to the Closing, be paid, promptly after receipt, to the Sellers and any portion thereof properly allocable to periods from and after the Closing Date shall be retained by Buyer.  The term “costs of collection” shall mean and include reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in collecting any Rents.

 

Sellers shall not be permitted after the Closing Date to institute proceedings against any Tenant to collect any past due Rents for periods prior to the Closing Date; provided that Buyer agrees for six months after Closing to bill Tenants for such Rents and provided further that in no event shall Buyer be obligated to terminate a Lease or dispossess a Tenant after Closing for failure to pay such Rents. If any past due Rents are not collected from the Tenants owing such delinquent amounts, Buyer shall not be liable to Sellers for any such amounts.

 

Any advance or prepaid rental payments or deposits paid by Tenants prior to the Closing Date and applicable to the period of time subsequent to the Closing Date and any security deposits or other amounts paid by Tenants, together with any interest on both thereof to the extent such interest is due to Tenants shall be credited to Buyer on the Closing Date. Sellers shall not apply any security deposits between the Effective Date and Closing without Buyer’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

14

 

No credit shall be given either party for accrued and unpaid Rent or any other non-current sums due from the Tenants until said sums are paid.  In addition, if as of the Closing Date there exists any rebate, rental concession, free-rent period, credit, setoff or rent reduction under or with respect to any Lease which extends beyond the Closing Date, then the prorations in favor of Buyer hereunder shall include an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all such rebates, rental concessions, free-rent periods, credits, setoffs or rent reductions applicable to any period or periods after the Closing Date.

 

(b)                                 Rent Adjustments.  Pending final adjustments and prorations, as provided in Section 10(a) above, to the extent that any additional rent, adjustment rent or escalation payments, if any, including, without limitation, estimated payments for Taxes (as defined below), insurance, utilities (to the extent not paid directly by Tenants), common area maintenance and other operating costs and expenses (collectively, “Operating Costs”) in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Real Property, are paid by Tenants to the Landlord under the Leases based on an estimated payment basis (monthly, quarterly, or otherwise) for which a future reconciliation of actual Operating Costs to estimated payments is required to be performed at the end of a reconciliation period, Buyer and Sellers shall make an adjustment at Closing for the applicable reconciliation period (or periods, if the Leases do not have a common reconciliation period) based on a comparison of the actual Operating Costs to the estimated payments at and as of Closing.  If, as of Closing, Sellers have received additional rent, adjustment rent or escalation payments in excess of the amount that Tenants will be required to pay, based on the actual Operating Costs as of Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit in the amount of such excess.  If, as of Closing, Sellers have received additional rent, adjustment rent or escalation payments that are less than the amount that Tenants would be required to pay based on the actual Operating Costs as of Closing, Sellers shall receive the same from Buyer following Closing but only after Buyer collects the same from the applicable Tenants.  Operating Costs that are not payable by Tenants either directly or reimbursable under the Leases shall be prorated between Sellers and Buyer and shall be reasonably estimated by the parties if final bills are not available.

 

(c)                                  Taxes and Assessments.  With respect to each Parcel, real estate taxes and special assessments, if any, assessed against the Property (“Taxes”) for the tax year in which the Closing occurs (the “Closing Tax Year”) shall be prorated as follows:  Buyer shall receive a credit for Taxes not paid for the Closing Tax Year prorated based on the number of days of Sellers’ ownership of the Property in the Closing Tax Year through the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, all as and to the extent that Sellers have not yet paid the relevant bill therefor; and Sellers shall receive a credit for Taxes paid by or on behalf of Sellers in the Closing Tax Year to the relevant taxing authority prior to Closing, prorated based on the period of Buyer’s ownership of the Property in the Closing Tax Year.  If bills for any Taxes payable in the applicable Closing Tax Year are unavailable on the Closing Date, such taxes will be pro-rated based upon 100% of the tax applicable for the previous tax period.  Subject to reconciliation as provided in Section 10(b) above, Sellers shall retain all amounts paid or payable by Tenants under the Leases on account of Taxes for the period prior to Closing, and Buyer shall be entitled to amounts paid by Tenants under the Leases on account of Taxes for the period after Closing.

 

15

 

(d)                                 Utilities.  Charges attributable to the Property for utilities and fuel, including, without limitation, steam, water, electricity, gas and oil, except to the extent paid directly by the Tenants, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.

 

(e)                                  Other Prorations.  Charges payable under the Approved Contracts assigned to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.  Buyer shall also receive a credit equal to any past due payments (including interest or penalties due) from Sellers to any of the other parties to the Approved Contracts.

 

Interest payments payable under the Loan shall be prorated as of the Closing.  Buyer shall assume responsibility for the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to the extent such outstanding principal balance is credited against the Purchase Price at Closing.  At Closing, Sellers shall assign to Buyer all of Sellers’ rights to all escrow balances, reserves and similar amounts, if any, maintained by the Lender in connection with the Loan, and Buyer shall pay Sellers the amount of such escrow balances, reserves, and similar amounts so assigned, subject to confirmation from Lender.

 

Sellers and Buyer agree that (1) none of the insurance policies relating to the Property will be assigned to Buyer (and Sellers shall pay any cancellation fees resulting from the termination of such policies), and (2) no employees of Sellers performing services at the Property shall be employed by Buyer.  Accordingly, there will be no prorations for insurance premiums or payroll, and Sellers shall be liable for all premiums and payroll expenses in connection with the foregoing.

 

If any Seller has made any deposit with any utility company or local authority in connection with services to be provided to the Property, such deposits shall, if Buyer so requests and if assignable, be assigned to Buyer at the Closing and Sellers shall receive a credit equal to the amounts so assigned.  Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer to transfer all utility services to Buyer at Closing.

 

In no event shall any costs of the operation or maintenance of the Property incurred prior to the Closing be borne by Buyer or any costs of the operation or maintenance of the Property incurred following the Closing be borne by Sellers, except costs arising under any Rejected Contracts.

 

Buyer shall be responsible for all Tenant Inducement Costs for or related to all new Leases (i.e., including, without limitation, any amendment to an existing Lease) signed after the Effective Date with Buyer’s prior written consent.  Sellers shall have no responsibility, whatsoever, with respect to any Tenant Inducement Costs for which Buyer is expressly responsible under this paragraph (and to the extent Sellers have paid any such Tenant Inducement Costs described in this paragraph at any time following the Effective Date of this Agreement and prior to Closing, Sellers shall receive a proration credit therefor at Closing).  Except for the specific Tenant Inducement Costs which Buyer is responsible for under this paragraph, Buyer shall receive at the Closing a credit toward the Purchase Price equal to all unpaid and outstanding Tenant Inducement Costs under all Leases.

 

16

 

The prorations and credits provided for in this Section 10 shall be made on the basis of a written statement prepared by Sellers and approved by Buyer.  At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers, or Escrow Holder using information provided by Sellers, shall provide Buyer with a preliminary proration and closing statement, together with backup documentation substantiating the prorations provided for and the calculations performed, in order that Buyer may verify Sellers’ methods and calculations.  In the event any prorations made pursuant hereto shall prove incorrect for any reason whatsoever, either party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same provided that it makes written demand on the other within 12 months after the Closing Date.

16.          BUYER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  As a material inducement to the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Sellers and the performance by Sellers of their duties and obligations hereunder, Buyer does hereby acknowledge, warrant, represent and agree to and with Sellers that as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date:

28

 

out the terms and provisions of this Agreement and each of the other agreements, instruments and documents herein required to be made or delivered by Buyer pursuant hereto, and, has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution and delivery and performance of this Agreement and such other agreements, instruments and documents.  The individuals executing this Agreement and all other agreements, instruments and documents herein required to be made or delivered by Buyer pursuant hereto on behalf of Buyer are duly authorized to sign the same on Buyer’s behalf and to bind Buyer thereto.

 

(b)           Enforceability.  This Agreement has been, and each and all of the other agreements, instruments and documents herein required to be made or delivered by Buyer pursuant hereto have been, or on the Closing Date will have been, executed by Buyer or on behalf of Buyer, and when so executed, are and shall be legal, valid, and binding obligations of Buyer enforceable against Buyer in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and, as to enforceability, the general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

(c)           No Conflict.  The execution and delivery of, and consummation of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement by Buyer are not prohibited by, and will not conflict with, constitute grounds for termination of, or result in the breach of any agreement or instrument to which Buyer is now a party or by which it is bound, or any order, rule or regulation of any court or other governmental agency or official, which prohibition or conflict would have an adverse effect on Buyer’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the documents to be executed by Buyer in connection with this Agreement.

Buyer is not, nor will it become, a person or entity with whom U.S. persons or entities are restricted from doing business under regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control of the Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action.

 

17.          ACTIONS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE.  The parties covenant to do the following through the Closing Date:

 

(a)           Title.  Except as otherwise specifically contemplated in this Agreement or as may be required by legal requirements, and without limiting any rights that Tenants may have under their Leases, from and after the Effective Date, Sellers shall not make or permit any changes to the Property or to the condition of title to the Property that would change the Approved Title or the Approved Survey except with Buyer’s advance written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period but may be withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion after the expiration of the Contingency Period.

 

(b)           Maintenance and Operation of Property.  From and after the Effective Date, Sellers shall maintain existing insurance coverage in full force and effect, and shall operate

 

29

 

and maintain the Property in substantially the same manner as operated and maintained as of the Effective Date, in accordance with its customary practices, and shall pay all bills and obligations arising from the Property as payment becomes due.  Sellers shall not make any material alterations to or upon the Property or remove any of the Personal Property therefrom, except with Buyer’s advance written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lease requires a Seller to make a material alteration upon the Property or to remove certain Personal Property and the Lease requires that such alteration or removal be completed on or before the Closing Date, the applicable Seller may perform such alteration or removal without Buyer’s consent provided that Seller delivers Buyer written notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to such performance.  Additionally, Sellers shall promptly advise Buyer in writing of any other significant repair or improvement required to keep the Property in the condition required hereunder.

 

(c)                                  Leases and Agreements.  From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall provide Buyer five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice before entering into (i) any new leases or other occupancy agreements for the Property, (ii) any agreement to terminate or amend the Leases or Approved Contracts (if any) or (iii) any other agreement concerning the Property.  In each case, Seller’s notice to Buyer shall include all documents to be executed in connection therewith and a reasonably detailed written summary of all of the material terms the proposed transaction along with an itemized list of any Tenant Inducement Costs which will be incurred in connection with the proposed transaction. From and after the expiration of the Contingency Period, Sellers shall not enter into any new leases or other occupancy agreements for the Property without first obtaining Buyer’s advance written consent which may be withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion after the expiration of the Contingency Period.  From and after the expiration of the Contingency Period, Sellers shall not terminate or amend any of the Leases or Approved Contracts or any other agreement concerning the Property, without Buyer’s advance written consent, which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion after the expiration of the Contingency Period, and Sellers shall continue to perform all of its obligations under the Leases and Approved Contracts.

 

If Sellers request Buyer’s consent to any new lease or other occupancy agreement or amendment to any existing Lease, Sellers shall be required to provide Buyer with a detailed written summary of all of the material terms the proposed transaction along with an itemized list of all Tenant Inducement Costs which will be incurred in connection with the proposed transaction. Buyer shall give Sellers written notice of approval or disapproval of a proposed new lease or other occupancy agreement or amendment to any existing Lease within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of the items described above.  If Buyer does not respond to Sellers’ request within such time period, then Buyer will be deemed to have disapproved such new lease or other occupancy agreement or amendment to any existing Lease.

 

(d)                                 Representations and Warranties.  Each party shall use reasonable efforts to prevent any act or omission that would render any of its representations and warranties herein untrue or misleading, and shall immediately notify the other party in writing if such act or omission occurs.

 

(e)                                  Entry.  As of the Effective Date, during normal business hours prior to the Closing, and subject to the rights of Tenants under the Leases, Buyer and its agents, employees

 

30

 

and contractors (collectively, “Permittees”) shall have reasonable access to the Property at agreed upon times for agreed upon purposes on at least forty-eight (48) hours prior notice to Sellers.  Sellers shall have the right to have a representative present during any visits to or inspections of the Property by Buyer or any Permittees.  Buyer will conduct its Due Diligence Review in a manner which is not disruptive to Tenants or the normal operation of the Property.  In the event Buyer desires to conduct any physically intrusive inspections, such as sampling of soils, other media, building materials, or the like, Buyer will identify in writing exactly what procedures Buyer desires to perform and request Sellers’ advance written consent, which consent may be withheld in Sellers’ reasonable discretion.  Buyer will:  (a) maintain commercial general liability (occurrence) insurance (at least $2,000,000), and deliver a certificate of insurance, which names the applicable Seller as an additional insured thereunder verifying such coverage to Sellers promptly upon Sellers’ request; (b) promptly pay when due the costs of all entry and inspections and examinations done with regard to the Property; and (c) to the extent damaged by Buyer or its Permittee’s, restore the Property and Improvements to substantially the condition in which the same were found before any such entry upon the Property and inspection or examination was undertaken.

 

In addition, Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sellers from and against all losses, costs, damages, claims and liabilities arising out of injury or death to persons, damage to the Property or mechanics’ liens arising out of or in connection with Buyer’s Due Diligence Review, Buyer’s breach of its obligations under this Section 17(e) or Buyer’s or any Permittees entry upon the Property unless arising from any pre-existing conditions on the Property or the negligence or willful misconduct of Sellers, Sellers’ managers, officers, partners, shareholders or members, as applicable. The provisions of this Section 17(e) shall survive the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or Closing for a period of 6 months.

 

(f)                                   Applications.  Following the Effective Date, no Seller shall make application to any governmental entity for any Approvals or any change in the zoning, affecting the Real Property, except in each case with Buyer’s advance written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

(g)                                  Loan and Loan Assumption.  From and after the Effective Date through the Closing, Sellers shall (a) continue to perform all obligations and to make all required payments in the manner and at the times specified in the Loan Documents, (b) use best efforts to prevent from occurring any event that with notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default under the Loan and (c) not amend, assign or otherwise modify the Loan Documents without Buyer’s prior written consent.

 

(h)                                 Bond Lease Documents.  From and after the Effective Date through the Closing, Sellers shall (a) continue to perform all obligations and to make all required payments in the manner and at the times specified in Bond Lease Documents and (b) not amend, assign or otherwise modify the Bond Lease Documents without Buyer’s prior written consent.

 

18.                               DAMAGE TO PROPERTY; TAKING.

 

(a)                                 Taking.  If the Property or any part thereof is taken or is the subject of a notice of taking by eminent domain prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall promptly notify

 

31

 

Buyer.  Within ten (10) Business Days after such notice, Buyer shall give notice to Sellers (with a copy to Escrow Holder) that it elects to (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event Escrow Holder shall, upon receipt of Buyer’s Notice to terminate this Agreement, return the Deposit to Buyer and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder (except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement), or (b) proceed to Closing, in which event Sellers shall pay over and assign to Buyer all awards recovered or recoverable on account of such taking, net of any reasonable costs incurred by Sellers in connection therewith.  If Buyer elects to proceed under clause (b) above, Sellers shall not compromise, settle, or adjust any claims to such awards without Buyer’s prior written consent.

 

(b)                                 Damage.  Risk of loss up to and including the Closing Date shall be borne by Sellers except as expressly set forth herein.  In the event of any material damage to or destruction of the Property or any portion thereof, Buyer may, at its option, by notice to Sellers (with a copy to Escrow Holder) given within ten (10) Business Days after Sellers notify Buyer in writing of such damage or destruction (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Buyer the full 10-day period to make such election):  (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event Escrow Holder shall, upon receipt of Buyer’s notice to terminate this Agreement, return the Deposit to Buyer and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder (except the indemnity obligations of each party, which shall survive indefinitely and any other obligations set forth herein which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement), or (ii) proceed under this Agreement with no adjustment of the Purchase Price, receive any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Sellers as a result of such damage or destruction and assume responsibility for such repair, and Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under said insurance policies and any uninsured or underinsured loss.  If Buyer elects (ii) above, Sellers will cooperate with Buyer in obtaining the insurance proceeds and such agreements from Sellers’ insurers.  If the Property is damaged, but not materially damaged, then the parties shall proceed to Closing as provided in clause (ii) above. “Material damage” and “Materially damaged” means damage (w) resulting in the Property not complying with all legal requirements applicable to the Property,  (x) reasonably exceeding $200,000 or (y) that entitles any Tenant of the Property to terminate its Lease, or (z) which, in Buyer’s or Sellers’ reasonable estimation, will take longer than 90 days to repair.

 

(c)                                  Waiver.  Failure of Buyer to timely provide a notice of election in accordance with this Section 18, shall be deemed an election by Buyer to terminate this Agreement.  Sellers and Buyer each hereby agree that the provisions of this Section 18 shall govern the parties’ obligations in the event of any damage or destruction to the Property or the taking of all or any part of the Real Property and expressly waive any provision of applicable law to the contrary.

 

19.                               SURVIVAL.  Except as otherwise provided herein, all covenants, obligations, representations and warranties and indemnities by the respective parties contained herein are intended to and shall remain true and correct as of the Closing, shall be deemed to be material, and shall survive the recordation of the Deeds for a period of nine (9) months.  Any covenants and conditions herein that must be operative after recordation of the Deeds to be effective shall be so operative and shall not be deemed to have been merged in the Deeds.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, within such nine (9) month period and , Buyer delivers written notice of any legal

 

32

 

claim(s) to Sellers, the nine (9) month period shall be extended with respect to such claim(s) until the earlier of (i) payment of such legal claim(s), (ii) final judgment issued by a court of competent jurisdiction regarding the legal claim(s) after all appeals periods have expired or (iii) mutual agreement of Buyer and Sellers and settlement of such legal claims(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the foregoing be deemed to grant Buyer any right to bring a claim on a date after the applicable statute of limitations.

 

20.                               SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  The terms, covenants and conditions herein contained shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.  Sellers shall not have the right, power, or authority to assign, pledge or mortgage this Agreement or any portion of this Agreement, or to delegate any duties or obligations arising under this Agreement, voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law. This Agreement and all rights of Buyer hereunder may be assigned or transferred by Buyer to any one or more of its affiliates (including, without limitation any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries), in which event all instruments, documents and agreements required to be delivered to the Buyer hereunder shall be delivered to, and run for the benefit of such entity, and such entity(ies) (rather than Buyer) shall execute and deliver any instruments, documents or agreements required to be executed and delivered by Buyer hereunder; provided, however, that in the event of any such assignment to an affiliate(s), the original Buyer hereunder shall remain fully liable and responsible for the performance of Buyer’s obligations hereunder prior to Closing or if this Agreement terminates following such termination.

 

21.                               NO THIRD PARTY BENEFITS.  This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of the Buyer and Sellers and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person shall have any right or remedy or other legal interest of any kind under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

22.                               COUNTERPARTS.

(4)           To the best of the Trustee’s knowledge, the Trustee is not in default of any of its covenants under any of the Bond Documents to which it is a party and none of the other parties to the Bond Documents are in default thereunder or have asserted

 

 

that any breaches, defaults or defenses thereunder exist.  To the best of Trustee’s knowledge, no facts or circumstances exist that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a material breach or violation of, or default under, any of the Bond Documents by the Trustee or any of the other parties thereto.

 

(5)           All outstanding Bonds are currently registered in the name of Sellers.  Edlen Peachtree LLC is the current holder of seventy-five percent (75%) of the Bonds, and CP Peachtree Associates, LLC is the current holder of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Bonds.

 

(6)           There are no amounts that are deposited in or credited to any of the funds and accounts created under the Indenture and held by the Trustee and there are no fees and other amounts payable to the Trustee under the Indenture or any of the other Bond Documents that are currently due and payable or that have accrued but are unpaid; provided, however, the parties hereto acknowledge that payments of Base Rent under the Bond Lease and payments of the principal of and interest on the Bonds have been and are being made pursuant to the Home Office Payment Agreement and as a result such payments have not been received or made by the Trustee as Paying Agent under the Indenture.

We are providing this letter in connection with your review of the statement of revenues and certain expenses of the property identified in Appendix A, which is owned by [                                ] (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the               (      ) [month(s)/quarter] ended                             , 20      , for the purpose of determining whether any material modifications should be made to the interim financial statement for it to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (including all applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pronouncements).  We confirm that we are responsible for the fair presentation of the interim financial statement in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America including all applicable SEC pronouncements.

 

Certain representations in this letter are described as being limited to matters that are material. Notwithstanding this, items are considered material, regardless of size, if they involve an omission or misstatement of accounting information that, in the light of surrounding circumstances, makes it probable that the judgment of a reasonable person relying on the information would be changed or influenced by the omission or misstatement.  An omission or misstatement that is monetarily small in amount could be considered material as a result of qualitative factors.

 

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

 

1.                                      To the best of my knowledge, the interim financial statement referred to above has been prepared and presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America including all applicable SEC pronouncements applicable to interim financial statement.  Such accounting principles are consistent with the annual financial statement, unless otherwise disclosed in the interim financial statement.

 

2.                                      We have made available to you:

 

a.                                      all financial records and related data.

 

b.                                      minutes of the meetings of stockholders, directors and committees of directors, or summaries of actions of recent meetings for which minutes have not yet been prepared.

 

 

3.                                      There have been no communications from regulatory agencies, such as the SEC or the Internal Revenue Service, or inquiries from any governmental or regulatory bodies concerning potential noncompliance with, or deficiencies in, financial reporting practices or any other matters that could have an adverse effect on our operations or material adverse effect on the financial statement.

 

4.                                      There are no material transactions that have not been properly recorded in the accounting records underlying the interim financial statement.

 

5.                                      a.                                      We understand that there are no uncorrected interim financial statement misstatements proposed by you during the engagement.

 

b.                                      We have reviewed and approved all adjusting journal entries proposed by you during your engagement that have been recorded in our general ledger and reflected properly in the interim financial statements and footnotes (summarized in the attached Appendix B).

 

6.                                      To the best of my knowledge, there are no significant deficiencies, including material weaknesses, in the design or operation of internal controls, which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize, and report interim financial data.

 

7.                                      We acknowledge our responsibility for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect fraud.

 

8.                                      We have no knowledge of any fraud or suspected fraud affecting the Company involving:

 

a.                                      management;

 

b.                                      employees who have significant roles in internal control; or

 

c.                                       others where the fraud could have a material effect on the interim financial statement.

 

9.                                      We have no knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the Company in communications from employees, former employees, analysts, regulators, short sellers, or others.

 

10.                               The following have been properly recorded or disclosed in the interim financial statement:

 

a.                                      related-party transactions, including leasing arrangements, and guarantees.

 

b.                                      guarantees, whether written or oral, under which the Company is contingently liable.

 

c.                                       estimates that may be subject to a material change in the near term.  We understand that near term means the period within one year of the date of the interim financial statement.  In addition, we have no knowledge of concentrations existing at the date of the interim financial statement that make the Company vulnerable to the risk of severe impact that have not been properly disclosed in the

 

 

interim financial statement.  Concentrations refer to volumes of business, revenues, available sources of supply, markets and geographic areas.

 

11.                               There are no:

 

a.                                      violations or possible violations of laws or regulations whose effects should be considered for disclosure in the interim financial statement or as a basis for recording a loss contingency.

 

b.                                      unasserted claims or assessments that our lawyer has advised us are probable of assertion and must be disclosed in accordance with ASC 450 (“Contingencies”) (formerly SFAS 5).

 

c.                                       other liabilities or gain or loss contingencies that are required to be accrued or disclosed by ASC 450 (“Contingencies”) (formerly SFAS 5).

 

12.                               The Company has satisfactory title to all owned assets.

 

13.                               The Company has complied with all aspects of contractual agreements that would have a material effect on the interim financial statements in the event of noncompliance.

 

To the best of our knowledge and belief, no events have occurred subsequent to                         , 20     and through the date of this letter that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the aforementioned interim financial statement.

In a letter to you dated                       , 20     we confirmed certain representations made by us in connection with your audit and review of the combined statements of revenues and certain expenses of the properties listed in Appendix A (the “Properties”), which are owned by [                                                    ] (the “Company”), for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the                            (      ) [month(s)/quarter(s)] ended                   , 20    , respectively. We now confirm the following additional information to you:

 

1.                                      To the best of our knowledge and belief, the statements contained in our representation letters to you dated                   , 20     for the audit and review are correct as of the date of this letter.

 

2.                                      No events have occurred and no facts have been discovered since               , 20     that would:

 

a.                                      make the combined financial statements of the Properties inaccurate or misleading for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the                            (      ) [month(s)/quarter(s)] ended                       , 20    ; or

 

b.                                      cause any material changes in the subsequent results of operations of the Properties.

 

3.                                      We have not consulted with an attorney with respect to the Properties subsequent to                           , 20    , with respect to any loss contingencies or any other matters that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the Properties’ combined financial statements.

 

Minutes of board meetings, including any committees thereof, occurring subsequent to                       , 20     were made available to you. We have made you aware of and have

 

 

properly disclosed any Board actions taken subsequent to                     , 20       that would have a material impact on the Properties’ combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the                            (      ) [month(s)/quarter(s)] ended                   , 20    .

FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

This Indemnification Agreement (this “Indemnification Agreement”) is made and entered into as of               , 20     by and between PLYMOUTH INDUSTRIAL REIT, INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) and [applicable Seller entity(ies)] (the “Indemnitee”).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Company, as Buyer, and Edlen Peachtree, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and CH Peachtree Associates, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, as Sellers are parties to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions dated as of August     , 2014 (as amended, assigned or otherwise modified, the “Purchase Agreement”)

 

WHEREAS, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, the Purchase Agreement requires the Indemnitee to provide Buyer, Buyer’s designated representative and/or Buyer’s independent auditor with one or more representation letters (collectively, the “Representation Letters”) with respect to the books, records and related information of the Property; and

 

WHEREAS, the Purchase Agreement requires the Company to execute this Indemnification Agreement in order to induce Indemnitee to execute and deliver the Representation Letters.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in further consideration for Indemnitee executing and delivering the Representation Letters and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Indemnity of Indemnitee.  The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Indemnitee and its affiliates (and their respective directors, partners, members, managers, officers, employees, equity holders, successors, assigns, representatives and agents)(collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs or expenses, including interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Losses”), actually incurred, suffered or paid, directly or indirectly, by the Indemnified Parties based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of any breach or alleged breach of any representation made by Indemnitee in the Representation Letters, the claim for which is made by written notice delivered to any Indemnified Party on or after the date hereof (the “Commencement Date”); provided that the Company is not obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss arising from a claim for which written notice is delivered prior to the Commencement Date.

 

 

2.                                      Notice and Opportunity to Defend.  Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Party entitled to indemnification under this Indemnification Agreement of notice of any demand, assertion or other circumstance which could give rise to a claim or the commencement (or threatened commencement) of any action, proceeding or investigation (each, an “Asserted Liability”) that may result in a Loss, such Indemnified Party will give notice thereof (the “Claims Notice”) to the Company, subject to the procedures contained in this Section 2. The Claims Notice will describe the Asserted Liability in reasonable detail and will indicate the amount of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. In no event will the Indemnified Party’s failure to give a Claims Notice to the Company relieve the Company of any liability under this Section 2, except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the Company’s ability to adequately defend such claim.

 

3.                                      Opportunity to Defend.  If the Company confirms in writing that it is obligated hereunder to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to any Asserted Liability, the Company may elect to compromise or defend, at its own expense and with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, such Asserted Liability; and if the Company so elects to compromise or defend, the Company will have the right to control the defense of such Asserted Liability. If the Company elects to compromise or defend such Asserted Liability, it will within fifteen (15) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Asserted Liability so requires) notify the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so, and the Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Company in the compromise of, or defense against, such Asserted Liability. If the Company elects not to compromise or defend such Asserted Liability, fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify under this Indemnification Agreement, the Indemnified Party may pay, compromise or defend such Asserted Liability, and the Indemnified Party will have the right to control the compromise or defense of such Asserted Liability; and in such case, the Indemnified Party will retain the right to pursue its rights to indemnification hereunder against the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, the Company may settle or compromise any Asserted Liability, only if (i) such settlement or compromise does not result in any liability to, restriction on or admission by the Indemnified Party, and (ii) such settlement or compromise constitutes or includes a full release of the Indemnified Party. In any event, the Indemnified Party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of any Asserted Liability; provided, that upon any adverse decision in litigation on a substantial motion or ruling, the Indemnified Party’s reasonable counsel fees shall thereafter be indemnified hereunder. If the Company chooses to defend any Asserted Liability, the Indemnified Party will make available to the Company any books, records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense.

 

4.                                      Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Indemnification Agreement is intended to confer upon Indemnitee indemnification rights to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.  In the event any provision hereof conflicts with any applicable law, such provision shall be deemed modified, consistent with the aforementioned intent, to the extent necessary to resolve such conflict.

 

 

5.                                      Modification and Waiver.  No supplement, modification, termination or amendment of this Indemnification Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Indemnification Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

 

6.                                      Notices.  All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Indemnification Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given:  (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not so confirmed, then on the next business day, or (c) one (1) business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt (charges prepaid).  All communications shall be sent:

7.                                      Counterparts.  This Indemnification Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Indemnification Agreement.  The parties hereby agree that a PDF copy of each party’s original signature to this Indemnification Agreement delivered by electronic mail shall be effective as such party’s signature to this Indemnification Agreement.

 

8.                                      Headings.  The headings of the paragraphs of this Indemnification Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Indemnification Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

 

9.                                      Governing Law.  This Indemnification Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.
