FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED

NOMINATION AND VOTING AGREEMENT

 

This First Amended and Restated Nomination and Voting Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of April 16, 2018 by and between Cesca Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Boyalife (Hong Kong) Limited (“Investor”). The Company and the Investor are referred to herein collectively as, the “Parties”. This Agreement amends and restates that certain Nomination and Voting Agreement originally entered into by the Parties and Boyalife Investment Inc. (“Boyalife USA”) on February 13, 2016 (the “Original Agreement”).

 

WHEREAS, the Original Agreement was entered into pursuant to the terms of that certain Purchase Agreement by and between the Parties and Boyalife USA dated as of February 2, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, as a result of substantial changes in the ownership, capitalization, and financing of the Company subsequent to the date of the Purchase Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and the Investor have determined that it is advisable and in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to amend and revise the Original Agreement in the manner set forth herein; and

 

WHEREAS, because Boyalife USA has been dissolved and has ceased to a party to the Original Agreement, Boyalife USA is not a party hereto.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, and other consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.     Board of Directors.

 

(a)     Designation of Directors. Until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2 hereof, Investor shall have the right to designate certain members to the Board (each, individually, an “Investor Designee” and, collectively, the “Investor Designees”) as follows:

 

(i)     At any time until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2 and subject to the provisions of Section 1(a)(iii) below, Investor shall have the right to designate a number of the members of the Board as shall be equal to (x) the Boyalife Ownership Percentage (as defined below) multiplied by (y) the total number of members of the Board. Solely for purposes of illustrating the foregoing and subject to Section 1(a)(iii) below, if the Boyalife Ownership Percentage is 40% and the Board is comprised of 5 members, then Investor would have the right to designate 2 members of the Board (i.e., 0.4 multiplied by 5 members equals 2).

 

 

 

 

(ii)     For purposes of this agreement, the “Boyalife Ownership Percentage” is an amount equal to, as of any determination date, the result obtained by dividing:

 

(A) the sum of (i) number of outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) held by the Investor, its Affiliates, and their respective successors and assigns as of the determination date plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any convertible debt or preferred stock held by the Investor, its Affiliates, and their respective successors and assigns as of the determination date that is immediately convertible as of the determination date without any further payments by the holder thereof (referred to as the “Determination Date Conversion Shares”), by

 

(B) the sum of (i) the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the determination date plus (ii) the Determination Date Conversion Shares.

 

The Parties agree and acknowledge that the Boyalife Ownership Percentage is a measure that is used solely for purposes of this Agreement and is not intended to establish or be equal to any ownership percentage calculated and reported under Regulation 13D-G promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or under any other provision of federal or state securities laws.

 

(iii)     If the calculation in Section 1(a)(i) above results in the right to designate a fractional member of the Board, then the number of members of the Board for which Investor shall have a designation right shall be rounded up, provided that if rounding up would result in designation of a majority of the Board members at a time when the Boyalife Ownership Percentage is less than 50%, then the number shall be rounded down instead. For purposes of illustrating the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, if the Boyalife Ownership Percentage is 52% at a time when there are 5 members of the Board, then Investor would have the right to designate 3 members of the Board (i.e., 0.52 multiplied by 5 members equals 2.6, which would be rounded up to 3 members). If, on the other hand, the Boyalife Ownership Percentage is 48% at a time when there are 5 members of the Board, then Investor would have the right to designate 2 members of the Board (i.e., 0.48 multiplied by 5 members equals 2.4, which would be rounded down to 2 members because the Boyalife Ownership Percentage is less than 50%).

 

(b)     Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Investor and its Affiliates from exercising any other voting rights or other rights that they may otherwise have under applicable law or otherwise with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by them. For purposes of clarity, the restrictions set forth in Section 1(b) of the Original Agreement are hereby terminated and of no further force and effect.   

 

(c)     For purposes of his Agreement, the term “Affiliate” means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with such person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Parties agree, without limitation, that Boyalife Asset Holding II, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Xiaochun (Chris) Xu shall be deemed to be Affiliates of Investor for purposes of this Agreement.

 

(d)     Changes in Designees. From time to time so long as Investor has the right to designate an Investor Designee, Investor, in its sole discretion, may:

 

(i)     notify the Company in writing of an intention to remove from the Board any incumbent Investor Designee; or

 

2

 

 

(ii)     notify the Company in writing of an intention to select a new Investor Designee to the Board (whether to replace a prior Investor Designee or to fill a vacancy in such Investor Designee Board seat).

 

In the event of such an initiation of a removal or selection of an Investor Designee under Section 1(a) or this Section 1(e), the Company shall take such reasonable actions as are necessary to facilitate such removals or elections, including, without limitation, soliciting the votes of the appropriate stockholders.

 

2.      Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the date on which the Boyalife Ownership Percentage first falls below twenty percent (20%).

 

3.      Miscellaneous.

 

(a)     Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed received (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally and/or by messenger service, (b) on the date of confirmation of receipt of transmission by facsimile (or, the first business day following such receipt if (i) the date is not a business day or (ii) confirmation of receipt is given after 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time) or (c) on the date of confirmation of receipt if delivered by a nationally or internationally recognized courier service (or, the first business day following such receipt if (i) the date is not a business day or (ii) confirmation of receipt is given after 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time), to the Parties at the addresses set forth below (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified by like notice):

The rights granted both Parties hereunder are cumulative and will not constitute a waiver of either Party’s right to assert any other legal remedy available to it.

 

(j)     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same agreement.

Buyer shall have 10 days following receipt of written notice of a Material Change within which to satisfy itself with regard to such change. “Material Change” shall mean a substantial adverse change in the use, occupancy, tenants, title, or condition of the Property that occurs after the date of this offer and prior to the Closing. Unless otherwise notified in writing, Escrow Holder shall assume that no Material Change has occurred prior to the Closing.

 

(q) Seller Performance. The delivery of all documents and the due performance by Seller of each and every undertaking and agreement to be performed by Seller under this Agreement.

 

(q) Brokerage Fee. Payment at the Closing of such brokerage fee as is specified in this Agreement or later written instructions to Escrow Holder executed by Seller and Brokers (“Brokerage Fee”).

 

9.2 All of the contingencies specified in subparagraphs (a) through (m) of paragraph 9.1 are for the benefit of, and may be waived by, Buyer, and may be elsewhere herein referred to as “Buyer’s Contingencies.”

 

9.3 If any Buyer’s Contingency or any other matter subject to Buyer’s approval is disapproved as provided for herein in a timely manner (“Disapproved Item”), Seller shall have the right within 10 days following the receipt of notice of Buyer’s disapproval to elect to cure such Disapproved Item prior to the Expected Closing Date (“Seller’s Election”). Seller’s failure to give to Buyer within such period, written notice of Seller’s commitment to cure such Disapproved Item on or before the Expected Closing Date shall be conclusively presumed to be Seller’s Election not to cure such Disapproved Item, If Seller elects, either by written notice or failure to give written notice, not to cure a Disapproved Item, Buyer shall have the right, within 10 days after Seller’s Election to either accept title to the Property subject to such Disapproved Item, or to terminate this Agreement. Buyer’s failure to notify Seller in writing of Buyer’s election to accept title to the Property subject to the Disapproved Item without deduction or offset shall constitute Buyer’s election to terminate this Agreement. The above time periods only apply once for each Disapproved item. Unless expressly provided otherwise herein, Seller’s right to cure shall not apply to the remediation of Hazardous Substance Conditions or to the Financing Contingency. Unless the Parties mutually instruct otherwise, if the time periods for the satisfaction of contingencies or for Seller’s and Buyer’s elections would expire on a date after the Expected Closing Date, the Expected Closing Date shall be deemed extended for 3 business days following the expiration of: (a) the applicable contingency period(s), (b) the period within which the Seller may elect to cure the Disapproved Item, or (c) if Seller elects not to cure, the period within which Buyer may elect to proceed with this transaction, whichever is later.

 

9.4 The Parties acknowledge that extensive local, state and Federal legislation establish broad liability upon owners and/or users of real property for the investigation and remediation of Hazardous Substances. The determination of the existence of a Hazards Substance Condition and the evaluation of the impact of such a condition are highly technical and beyond the expertise of Brokers. The Parties acknowledge that they have been advised by Brokers to consult their own technical and legal experts with respect to the possible presence of Hazardous Substances on the Property or adjoining properties, and Buyer and Seller are not relying upon any investigation by or statement of Brokers with respect thereto. The Parties hereby assume all responsibility for the impact of such Hazardous Substances upon their respective interests herein.

 

10. Documents Required at or Before Closing:

 

10.1 Five days prior to the Closing date Escrow Holder shall obtain an updated Title Commitment concerning the Property from the Title Company and provide copies thereof to each of the Parties.

 

10.2 Seller shall deliver to Escrow Holder in time for delivery to Buyer at the Closing:

 

(a)   Grant warranty deed, duly executed and in recordable form, conveying fee title to the Property to Buyer.

The assignment of Existing Leases shall be on the most recent Assignment and Assumption of Lessor’s Interest in Lease form published by the AIR or its equivalent as reasonably modified by Buyer and Seller.

 

(d)   Estoppel Certificates executed by Seller and/or the tenant(s) of the Property.

 

(e)   An affidavit executed by Seller to the effect that Seller is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 1445 or successor statutes. If Seller does not provide such affidavit in form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer at least 3 business days prior to the Closing, Escrow Holder shall at the Closing deduct from Seller’s proceeds and remit to Internal Revenue Service such sum as is required by applicable Federal law with respect to purchases from foreign sellers.

 

(f)    If the Property is located in California, an affidavit executed by Seller to the effect that Seller is not a “nonresident” within the meaning of California Revenue and Tax Code Section 18662 or successor statutes. If Seller does not provide such affidavit in form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer at least 3 business days prior to the Closing, Escrow Holder shall at the Closing deduct from Seller’s proceeds and remit to the Franchise Tax Board such sum as is required by such statute.

 

(g)   If applicable, a bill of sale, duly executed, conveying title to any included personal property to Buyer.

 

(h)   If the Seller is a corporation, a duly executed corporate resolution authorizing the execution of this Agreement and the sale of the Property.

Instead, in such circumstances in order to reserve its rights to proceed Buyer need only provide Escrow with evidence establishing that the required monies were available.

 

(c)   The Assignment and Assumption of Lessor’s Interest in Lease form specified in paragraph 10.2(c) above, duly executed by Buyer.

10.4 At Closing, Escrow Holder shall cause to be issued to Buyer a standard coverage (or ALTA extended, if elected pursuant to 9.1(g)) owner’s form policy of title insurance effective as of the Closing, issued by the Title Company in the full amount of the Purchase Price, insuring title to the Property vested in Buyer, subject only to the exceptions approved by Buyer.

 

IMPORTANT: IN A PURCHASE OR EXCHANGE OF REAL PROPERTY, IT MAY BE ADVISABLE TO OBTAIN TITLE INSURANCE IN CONNECTION WITH THE CLOSE OF ESCROW SINCE THERE MAY BE PRIOR RECORDED LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES WHICH AFFECT YOUR INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY BEING ACQUIRED.

Payment of the prorated amount shall be made promptly in cash upon receipt of a copy of any supplemental bill.

 

11.2 Insurance. WARNING: Any insurance which Seller may have maintained will terminate on the Closing. Buyer is advised to obtain appropriate insurance to cover the property.

 

11.3 Rentals, and Expenses. Scheduled rentals, utilities, and operating expenses shall be prorated as of the date of Closing. The Parties agree to promptly adjust between themselves outside of Escrow any rents received after the Closing.

11.5 Post Closing Matters. Any item to be prorated that is not determined or determinable at the Closing shall be promptly adjusted by the Parties by appropriate cash payment outside of the Escrow when the amount due is determined.

 

12. Representations and Warranties of Seller and Disclaimers. See Also Addendum.

 

12.1 Seller’s warranties and representations shall survive the Closing and delivery of the deed for a period of 3 years, and any lawsuit or action based upon them must be commenced within such time period. Seller’s warranties and representations are true, material and relied upon by Buyer in all respects. Seller hereby makes the following warranties and representations to Buyer and;

(d) Compliance. Seller has no knowledge of any aspect or condition of the Property which violates applicable laws, rules, regulations, codes or covenants, conditions or restrictions, or of improvements or alterations made to the Property without a permit where one was required, or of any unfulfilled order or directive of any applicable governmental agency or casualty insurance company requiring any investigation, remediation, repair, maintenance or improvement be performed on the Property.

 

(e) Changes in Agreements. Prior to the Closing, Seller will not violate or modify any Existing Lease or Other Agreement, or create any new leases or other agreements affecting the Property, without Buyer’s written approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(f) Possessory Rights. Seller has no knowledge that anyone will, at the Closing, have any right to possession of the Property, except as disclosed by this Agreement or otherwise in writing to Buyer.

 

(g) Mechanics’ Liens. There are no unsatisfied mechanics’ or materialmens’ lien rights concerning the Property.

 

(h) Actions, Suits or Proceedings. Seller has no knowledge of any actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened before any commission, board, bureau, agency, arbitrator, court or tribunal that would affect the Property or the right to occupy or utilize same.

 

(i) Notice of Changes. Seller will promptly notify Buyer and Brokers in writing of any Material Change (see paragraph 9.1(o)) affecting the Property that becomes known to Seller prior to the Closing.

 

(j) No Tenant Bankruptcy Proceedings. Seller has no notice or knowledge that any tenant of the property is the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

 

(k) No Seller Bankruptcy Proceedings. Seller is not the subject of a bankruptcy, insolvency or probate proceeding.

 

(l) Personal Property. Seller has no knowledge that anyone will, at the Closing, have any right to possession of any personal property included in the Purchase Price nor knowledge of any liens or encumbrances affecting such personal property, except as disclosed by this Agreement or otherwise in writing to Buyer.

 

12.2 Buyer hereby acknowledges that, except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, Buyer is purchasing the Property in its existing condition and will, by the time called for herein, make or have waived all inspections of the Property Buyer believes are necessary to protect its own interest in, and its contemplated use of, the Property. The Parties acknowledge that, except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, no representations, inducements, promises, agreements, assurances, oral or written, concerning the Property, or any aspect of the occupational safety and health laws, Hazardous Substance laws, or any other act, ordinance or law, have been made by either party or Brokers, or relied upon by either Party hereto.

 

12.3 In the event that Buyer learns that a Seller representation or warranty might be untrue prior to the Closing, and Buyer elects to purchase the Property anyway then, and in that event, Buyer waives any right that it may have to bring an action or proceeding against Seller or Brokers regarding said representation or warranty.

 

12.4 Any environmental reports, soils reports, surveys, and other similar documents which were prepared by third party consultants and provided to Buyer by Seller or Seller’s representatives, have been delivered as an accommodation to Buyer and without any representation or warranty as to the sufficiency, accuracy, completeness, and/or validity of said documents, all of which Buyer relies on at its own risk. Seller believes said documents to be accurate, but Buyer is advised to retain appropriate consultants to review said documents and investigate the Property.

14. Buyer’s Entry.

 

At any time during the Escrow period, Buyer, and its agents and representatives, shall have the right at reasonable times and subject to rights of tenants, to enter upon the Property for the purpose of making inspections and tests specified in this Agreement. No destructive testing shall be conducted, however, without Seller’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Following any such entry or work, unless otherwise directed in writing by Seller, Buyer shall return the Property to the condition it was in prior to such entry or work, including the re-compaction or removal of any disrupted soil or material as Seller may reasonably direct. All such inspections and tests and any other work conducted or materials furnished with respect to the Property by or for Buyer shall be paid for by Buyer as and when due and Buyer shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Seller and the Property of and from any and all claims, liabilities, losses, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), damages, including those for injury to person or property, arising out of or relating to any such work or materials or the acts or omissions of Buyer, its agents or employees in connection therewith. See Addendum.

If any Party brings an action or proceeding (including arbitration) involving the Property whether founded in tort, contract or equity, or to declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. Such fees may be awarded in the same suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not such action or proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment. The term “Prevailing Party” shall include, without limitation, a Party who substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, or the abandonment by the other Party of its claim or defense. The attorney’s fees award shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred.

 

17. Prior Agreements/Amendments.

 

17.1 This Agreement supersedes any and all prior agreements between Seller and Buyer regarding the Property.

20.2 The acceptance of this offer, or of any subsequent counteroffer hereto, that creates an agreement between the Parties as described in paragraph 1.2, shall be deemed made upon delivery to the other Party or either Broker herein of a duly executed writing unconditionally accepting the last outstanding offer or counteroffer.

 

21. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. (This Liquidated Damages paragraph is applicable only if initialed by both Parties).

 

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX, PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, THE ACTUAL DAMAGES WHICH WOULD BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IF BUYER FAILS TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT By failing to Close Escrow. THEREFORE, IF, AFTER THE SATISFACTION OR WAIVER OF ALL CONTINGENCIES PROVIDED FOR THE BUYER’S BENEFIT, BUYER BREACHES THIS AGREEMENT By failing to Close Escrow, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN THE AMOUNT OF $225,000.00.

See Also Addendum.

 

23.8 Days.  Unless otherwise specifically indicated to the contrary, the word “days” as used in this Agreement shall mean and refer to calendar days.

 

24. Disclosures Regarding The Nature of a Real Estate Agency Relationship.

 

24.1 The Parties and Brokers agree that their relationship(s) shall be governed by the principles set forth in the applicable sections of the California Civil Code, as summarized in paragraph 24.2.

 

24.2 When entering into a discussion with a real estate agency regarding a real estate transaction, a Buyer or Seller should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship or representation it has with the agent or agents in the transaction. Buyer and Seller acknowledge being advised by the Brokers in this transaction, as follows:

 

(a)        Seller’s Agent.  A Seller’s agent under a listing agreement with the Seller acts as the agent for the Seller only. A Seller’s agent or subagent has the following affirmative obligations: (1) To the Seller: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Seller. (2) To the Buyer and the Seller: a Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent’s duties. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.

 

(b)        Buyer’s Agent.  A selling agent can, with a Buyer’s consent, agree to act as agent for the Buyer only. In these situations, the agent is not the Seller’s agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Seller. An agent acting only for a Buyer has the following affirmative obligations. (1) To the Buyer: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Buyer. (2) To the Buyer and the Seller: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent’s duties. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.

 

(c)        Agent Representing Both Seller and Buyer.  A real estate agent, either acting directly or through one or more associate licenses, can legally be the agent of both the Seller and the Buyer in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Seller and the Buyer. (1) In a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations, to both the Seller and the Buyer: a. A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with either Seller or the Buyer. b. Other duties to the Seller and the Buyer as stated above in their respective sections (a) or (b) of this paragraph 24.2. (2) In representing both Seller and Buyer, the agent may not without the express permission of the respective Party, disclose to the other Party that the Seller will accept a price less than the listing price or that the Buyer will pay a price greater than the price offered. (3) the above duties of the agent in a real estate in a transaction do not relieve a Seller or Buyer from the responsibility to protect their own interests. Buyer and Seller should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express their understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person qualified to advice about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional.

 

(d)        Further Disclosures.  Throughout this transaction Buyer and Seller may receive more than one disclosure, depending upon the number of agents assisting in the transaction. Buyer and Seller should each read its contents each time it is presented, considering the relationship between them and the real estate

agent in this transaction and that disclosure. Buyer and Seller each acknowledge receipt of a disclosure of the possibility of multiple representation by the Broker representing that principal. This disclosure may be part of a listing agreement, buyer representation agreement or separate document. Buyer understands that Broker representing Buyer may also represent other potential buyers, who may consider, make offers on or ultimately acquire the Property. Seller understands that Broker representing Seller may also represent other sellers with competing properties that may be of interest to this Buyer. Brokers have no responsibility with respect to any default or breach hereof by either Party. The Parties agree that no lawsuit or other legal proceeding involving any breach of duty, error or omission relating to this transaction may be brought against Broker more than one year after the Date of Agreement and that the liability (including court costs and attorneys' fees), of any Broker with respect to any breach of duty, error or omission relating to this Agreement shall not exceed the fee received by such Broker pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on each Broker's liability shall not be applicable to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Broker.

 

24.3 Confidential Information: Buyer and Seller agree to identify to Brokers as “Confidential” any communication or information given Brokers that is considered by such Party to be confidential

 

25. Construction of Agreement. In construing this Agreement, all headings and titles are for the convenience of the Parties only and shall not be considered a part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. This Agreement shall not be construed as if prepared by one of the Parties, but rather according to its fair meaning as a whole, as if both parties had prepared it.

 

26. Additional Provisions:

 

Additional Provisions of this offer, if any, are as follows or are attached hereto by an addendum or addenda consisting of paragraphs 28 through 37. (If there are no additional provisions write “NONE”.)

 

ATTENTION: NO REPRESENTATION OR RECOMMENDATION IS MADE BY AIR CRE OR BY ANY BROKER AS TO THE LEGAL SUFFICIENCY, LEGAL EFFECT, OR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTION TO WHICH IT RELATES. THE PARTIES ARE URGED TO:

 

1.              SEEK ADVICE OF COUNSEL AS TO THE LEGAL AND TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

2.     RETAIN APPROPRIATE CONSULTANTS TO REVIEW AND INVESTIGATE THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY. SAID INVESTIGATION SHOULD INCLUDE BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO: THE POSSIBLE PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES, THE ZONING OF THE PROPERTY, THE INTEGRITY AND CONDITION OF ANY STRUCTURES AND OPERATING SYSTEMS, AND THE SUITABILITY OF THE PROPERTY FOR BUYER’S INTENDED USE.

 

WARNING: IF THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN A STATE OTHER THAN CALIFORNIA, CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY NEED TO BE REVISED TO COMPLY WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED.

 

NOTE:

 

1. THIS FORM IS NOT FOR USE IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.

 

2. IF EITHER PARTY IS A CORPORATION, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THIS AGREEMENT BE SIGNED BY TWO CORPORATE OFFICERS.

 

The undersigned Buyer offers and agrees to buy the Property on the terms and conditions stated and acknowledges receipt of a copy hereof.

ADDENDUM TO
 STANDARD OFFER, AGREEMENT AND
 ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS FOR PURCHASE OF REAL ESTATE

 

The Standard Offer, Agreement and Escrow Instructions for Purchase of Real Estate dated January 5, 2018 (the “Standard Agreement”), between Buyer and Seller for the Property, is hereby amended as set forth below.  Capitalized terms used in this addendum shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Standard Agreement.  If there is any conflict between this Addendum and the Standard Agreement, the terms of this Addendum shall prevail.  The Standard Agreement and this Addendum are collectively referred to as the “Agreement”.  This Addendum together with the Standard Agreement itself represents the fully integrated and binding agreement of the parties.

 

28.                                Contingency Period; Expected Closing Date.  Notwithstanding any preprinted or handwritten “days” to the contrary contained in the Agreement, the time period applicable for all “Buyer’s Contingencies” under the Agreement, shall be from the Date of Agreement until that date which is thirty (30) days following the Date of Agreement (the “Contingency Period”).  If the Agreement is terminated by Buyer prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, the Deposit shall be immediately refunded to Buyer.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Buyer shall have the one (1) time right to extend the Expected Closing Date for up to ten (10) days.  Notice to extend the Expected Closing Date shall be given to Seller five (5) business days prior to the currently scheduled Expected Closing Date.

 

29.                               Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

 

(a)                                 In addition to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 12 of the Standard Agreement, Seller also represents and warrants to Buyer that (i) the rent roll delivered or to be delivered to Buyer is true, correct, accurate and complete; (ii) the Existing Leases delivered to Buyer are true, correct, accurate and complete copies of the originals, and said Existing Leases are in full force and effect; (iii) Seller is not a party to any other leases, tenancy or occupancy agreements affecting the Property except for the Existing Leases; (iv) no leasing commissions or fees or tenant improvement allowances are due, or will become due, on an absolute or contingent basis to any real estate brokers or agents or anyone else in connection with the Property or any portion thereof and no such commissions or fees or allowances will become due during the term of the Existing Leases or with respect to any renewal or extension thereof; (v) there are not any service contracts or other agreements that effect the Property to which Seller is a party except for those Other Agreements delivered to Buyer as provided in the Standard Agreement, and Seller has neither given nor received any notice of default with respect to any such Other Agreements; (vi) Seller has not granted to any other party any option, rights of first refusal, license or other similar agreement with respect to a purchase or sale of the Property or any portion thereof or any interest therein, and (vii) Seller has not received written notice from any governmental entity alleging that Seller has violated laws, including any environmental laws, with respect to the Property.  Seller agrees that (1) after the expiration of the Contingency Period, Seller shall not amend, modify or terminate the Existing Leases or enter into any new lease or service contract without the prior consent of Buyer, which consent by Buyer may withhold in its sole discretion; and (2) on the Expected Closing Date, Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost, terminate all management agreements

 

1

 

and leasing commission agreements with respect to the Property and any existing leases with parties affiliated with Seller.

 

(b)                                  Seller represents and warrants that following the Closing through the end of the survival period for Seller’s representations and warranties, it shall maintain access to liquid assets sufficient to cover Seller’s post-closing obligations set forth in this Agreement.

 

30.                               Property Entry.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 14 of the Standard Agreement, Buyer’s indemnification obligations shall expressly exclude losses arising out of latent defects, the displacement or disturbance of hazardous materials not placed on the Property by Buyer or its consultants, the discovery of pre-existing conditions, the gross negligence or misconduct of Seller, or any diminution in value in the Property arising from, or related to, matters discovered by Buyer during its investigation of the Property which are not exacerbated by Buyer.

 

31.                               Buyer’s Remedies on Seller Default.  If Seller defaults in its obligation to sell and convey the Property to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer’s sole remedy shall be to elect one of the following:  (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit as well as reimbursement for Buyer’s verifiable actual out-of-pocket third party expenses incurred in connection with this transaction, or (b) to bring a suit for specific performance provided that any suit for specific performance must be filed and served within ninety (90) days of Seller’s default and Buyer waives the right to bring suit at any later date.  Buyer shall give Escrow Holder and Seller written notice of Buyer’s election of such remedy.

 

32.                               Confidentiality. Prior to the Close of Escrow, Buyer and Seller shall keep the proposed transaction confidential and shall not disclose any such confidential information to any other person or entity other than to such party’s employees, representatives, attorneys, accountants, consultants, engineers, partners, investors and lenders.  The foregoing shall not be applicable to disclosures as required by law, including without limitation, any disclosure required by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and/or disclosures required in connection with any disputes between Buyer and Seller.

 

33.                               Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed by the parties in different counterparts and the signature pages combined to create a document binding on all parties.  The signatures of the parties below constitute the signatures of Seller and Buyer to the Standard Agreement and the Addendum and as such, collectively to the Agreement.

 

34.                               Estoppel Certificates.  No later than 10 days after the Date of Agreement, Seller shall request an estoppel certificate from the tenants in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Tenant Estoppel Certificates”).  Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver the Tenant Estoppel Certificates to Buyer on or before the date that is five (5) business days prior to the Expected Closing Date.  Seller shall provide Buyer with an opportunity to review the Tenant Estoppel Certificates prior to submitting same to the tenants.  Seller shall deliver the Tenant Estoppel Certificates to Buyer promptly upon Seller’s receipt from the tenants.  Seller shall reasonably facilitate Buyer contacting tenants regarding the Existing Leases and the Tenant Estoppel Certificates.  The Tenant Estoppel Certificates shall not show any materially adverse matters, including, without limitation, any verbal agreements or any default or purported default

 

2

 

thereunder by any party, and shall be dated within thirty (30) days of the Expected Closing Date.  It shall be a condition for Closing for Buyer’s benefit that Buyer receive and approve Tenant Estoppel Certificates from all tenants of the Property.

 

35.                               Conditions to Closing.  In addition to the conditions to Closing set forth in the Standard Agreement, Buyer shall not be obligated to close hereunder unless each of the following conditions shall exist on the Expected Closing Date: (a) the Title Company shall issue (or shall be prepared and irrevocably committed to issue) an extended coverage ALTA title policy in the amount of the Purchase Price to Buyer; Buyer shall pay any difference in the cost of the premium for a standard CLTA Owner’s policy of title insurance and any ALTA extended policy. (b) all of the representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement or any of the closing documents shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects on and as of the Closing; (c) the tenants under the Existing Leases shall not have terminated, or given notice of intent to terminate, the Existing Leases; (d) the tenants under the Existing Leases, shall not have vacated, abandoned, ceased operations or filed for voluntary bankruptcy or be subject to an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding; and (e) Buyer shall have received and approved the Tenant Estoppel Certificates as provided in Section 34 above.  If any of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied before the Closing, Buyer may, at its option, and in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) waive any such condition which can legally be waived either at the time originally established for Closing and proceed to Closing without adjustment or abatement of the Purchase Price, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to Seller, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and Buyer and Seller shall each pay one-half of the cancellation charges as to the Property (unless Seller is in breach or default hereunder in which case Seller shall pay the cancellation charges as to the Property), if any, of Escrow Holder and Title Company.  In addition to (and notwithstanding) the foregoing, if the failure of the condition is due to a breach by Seller hereunder, Buyer may pursue any of its remedies for a Seller default as provided in Section 31 above.

 

36.                                Due Diligence Materials.  In addition to the due diligence materials that Seller is required to deliver under the Standard Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, within two (2) business days following the Date of Agreement, the due diligence materials listed on Exhibit B to the extent said materials are within Seller’s possession or control.

 

37.                               Exchange.  Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that the purchase and sale of the Property may be part of a tax-free exchange under Section 1031 of the Code for either Buyer or Seller.  Each party hereby agrees to take all reasonable steps on or before the Expected Closing Date to facilitate such exchange if requested by the other party, provided that (a) no party making such accommodation shall be required to acquire any substitute property, (b) such exchange shall not affect the representations, warranties, liabilities, covenants and obligations of the parties to each other under the Agreement, (c) no party making such accommodation shall incur any additional cost, expense or liability in connection with such exchange (other than expenses of reviewing and executing documents required in connection with such exchange), and (d) no dates in the Agreement will be extended as a result of the exchange; provided that Seller shall have the one-time right to extend the Expected Closing Date to effectuate its exchange so long as written notice of such extension is delivered to Buyer no later than the five (5) business days prior to the initial Expected Closing Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, if Seller so elects to close the transfer of the Property as an exchange, then (i) Seller, at its sole option, may delegate its obligations to transfer some or all of the assets under the

 

3

 

Agreement, and may assign its rights to receive all or a portion of the Purchase Price from Buyer, to a deferred exchange qualified intermediary (a “QI”) or to an exchange accommodation titleholder (“EAT”), as the case may be; (ii) such delegation and assignment shall in no way reduce, modify or otherwise affect the obligations of Seller pursuant to the Agreement; (iii) Seller shall remain fully liable for its obligations under the Agreement as if such delegation and assignment shall not have taken place; (iv) QI or EAT, as the case may be, shall have no liability to Buyer; and (v) the closing of the transfer of the Property to Buyer shall be undertaken by direct deed, assignment and other appropriate conveyance from Seller (or, if applicable, from other affiliates of Seller whom Seller will cause to execute such deeds, assignments and other appropriate instruments of conveyance) to Buyer or to EAT, as the case may be.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, if Buyer so elects to close the acquisition of the Property as an exchange, then (i) Buyer, at its sole option, may delegate its obligations to acquire the Property under the Agreement, and may assign its rights to receive the Property from Seller, to a QI or to an EAT, as the case may be; (ii) such delegation and assignment shall in no way reduce, modify or otherwise affect the obligations of Buyer pursuant to the Agreement; (iii) Buyer shall remain fully liable for its obligations under the Agreement as if such delegation and assignment shall not have taken place; (iv) QI or EAT, as the case may be, shall have no liability to Seller; and (v) the closing of the acquisition of the Property by Buyer or the EAT, as the case may be, shall be undertaken by direct deed from Seller (or, if applicable, from other affiliates of Seller whom Seller will cause to execute such deeds, assignments and other appropriate instruments of conveyance) to Buyer (or to EAT, as the case may be).
