 Hello! 
 This is your Offer.

  
  

Amrita Ahuja 
 Chief Financial Officer 

San Francisco 

 12/14/2018 

Dear Amrita, 
 First of all, this is awesome! We, here at Square,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), are really, really excited to offer you employment with the Company on the terms described below. 
  

	 	    	 KEY HIGHLIGHTS 

 

	 	1.	 Position. You will start in a full-time position as the Chief Financial Officer and you will report to
Jack Dorsey. By signing this letter, you confirm with the Company that you are under no contractual or other legal obligations that would prohibit or restrict you from performing your duties with the Company. 

 

	 	2.	 Compensation. You will be paid an annual salary at the rate of $450,000 payable on the
Company’s regular payroll dates. Your position is classified as exempt. 

 You will be paid a one-time hire-on bonus of $315,000 which will be included in your first paycheck, and an additional one-time hire-on bonus of $150,000 that will be paid on the first paycheck following the first anniversary of your employment. 

In addition, to help facilitate your move, the Company will provide you with access to our relocation services provider, which will arrange for
reasonable relocation needs, the costs of which will be covered by the Company. 
 If you voluntarily terminate your employment with the
Company within 12 months of your hire date, you will be responsible for reimbursing all or part of the relocation costs paid by the Company, and any hire-on bonus, at the Company’s sole discretion. 

 

	 	3.	 Equity Awards. We will recommend to the Board of Directors of Square, Inc. or an authorized committee
thereof (in either case, the “Committee”) that you be granted equity awards with a total target value of $12,000,000 which will be comprised of 75% Restricted Stock Award (“RSAs”) and 25% Stock Options.

 The recommended grant of RSAs will have a target value of $9,000,000 (the “RSA
Target Value”). The number of RSAs that will be recommended will be calculated by dividing the RSA Target Value by the per share fair value of RSAs on the grant date, as determined under ASC 718. Each RSA is a conditional right to receive
shares of Square, Inc.’s Class A common stock. The RSAs will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to restricted stock awards granted under Square, Inc.’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the
applicable restricted stock award agreement. The vesting commencement date for each RSA will be the 1st or the 16th day of the month immediately following your hire date (the “Vesting Commencement Date”). 25% of the RSAs will vest on the
one year anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date and 1/16th of the RSAs will vest on quarterly vesting dates thereafter on the same day of the month as the Vesting Commencement Date as long as you remain in continuous service to the Company or
any affiliate of the Company, as described in the applicable restricted stock award agreement. In the event that your service with the Company or any affiliate of the Company terminates, all unvested RSAs will be forfeited. 

The recommended grant of Stock Options will have a target value of $3,000,000 (the “Option Target Value”). The number of
shares subject to the stock option will be determined by dividing the Option Target Value by the per share fair value of Stock Options on the grant date, as determined under ASC 718. Each Stock Option is a right to purchase a share of Square,
Inc.’s Class A common stock (collectively, the “Option”). The Option will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to stock options granted under the Plan and the applicable stock option agreement. The vesting
commencement date for the Option will be your hire date (the “Option Vesting Commencement Date”). 25% of the shares subject to the Option will vest and become exercisable on the one year anniversary of the Option Vesting Commencement Date
and 1/48th of the shares subject to the Option will vest and become exercisable on a monthly basis thereafter (on the same day of the month as the Option Vesting Commencement Date) as long you remain in continuous service to the Company, as
described in the applicable option agreement. 
 The grant to you of such RSAs and such Option by Square, Inc. is subject to the approval of
the Committee, and this promise to recommend such approval is not a promise of compensation, is not an offer of securities and is not intended to create any obligation on the part of the Company. You should consult with your own tax advisor
concerning the tax risks associated with accepting an award of RSAs or Stock Options pertaining to Square, Inc.’s Class A common stock. 

 PROTECTING YOU AND SQUARE 
  

	 	4.	 Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement. Like all Company employees, you will be
required, as a condition of your employment with the Company, to sign the Company’s enclosed standard Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). This is serious stuff. We don’t
want you to give away our secret sauce. 

  

	 	5.	 Employment Relationship. Employment with the Company is not for a specific period of time. Your
employment with the Company will be “at will,” meaning that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time and for any reason, without prior notice and with or without cause. Any contrary representations, which may
have been made to you, are superseded by this offer. This is the full and complete agreement between you and the Company on this term. Further, your participation in any equity or benefit program is not to be regarded as assuring you of continuing
employment for any particular period of time. Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the “at will” nature of your
employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by you and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. 

  

	 	6.	 Outside Activities. Yes, you can have a life outside of work. But, while you render services to the
Company, you agree that you will not engage in any outside activity if it could interfere with your work performance or work schedule at the Company, or if it could result in an actual or potential conflict of interest or the appearance of a
conflict of interest. Outside activities include (but are not limited to) other employment, consulting, serving on a board or in another advisory capacity, and volunteer activities. In addition, while you render services to the Company, you will not
assist any person or entity in competing with the Company, in preparing to compete with the Company or in hiring any employees or consultants of the Company. Per the Company’s Outside Activities Policy, you must disclose to your manager in
writing any other gainful employment, business or activity that you are currently associated with or participate in that has the potential to compete with the Company. 

 

	 	7.	 Withholding Taxes. (It’s true, you have to pay taxes) All forms of compensation referred to in this
letter are subject to applicable withholding and payroll taxes. 

	 	8.	 Authorization to Work. You must have authorization to work for the Company in the United States. We ask
that you present documentation demonstrating that you have authorization to work for the Company in the United States no later than three (3) days of your start date. 

 

	 	9.	 Arbitration. While the Company hopes that employment disputes will not occur, the Company believes that,
if they do arise, it is in the interest of everyone involved to handle them through arbitration, which seeks to resolve disputes in a manner that is faster, more efficient, and less formal than litigation in court. Therefore, your employment is
subject to the arbitration agreement set forth in Addendum A, which includes a waiver of class, collective, and representative claims, unless you timely opt out of that waiver. 

 

	 	10.	 Background Check. The Company may conduct an employment verification of criminal, education, and
employment background. This offer can be rescinded based upon data received in the verification. 

  

	 	11.	 Severance. You will be eligible to enter into a Change of Control and Severance Agreement (the
“Severance Agreement”) applicable to you based on your senior position within the Company. The Severance Agreement will specify the severance payments and benefits you would be entitled to in connection with a change of control transaction
and certain terminations of employment.

  

	 	12.	 Entire Agreement. This letter (including its Addendum A), along with the Confidentiality Agreement, the
Severance Agreement, the Plan, and any other restricted stock unit or stock option agreements between you and the Company governing your Company equity award(s), collectively constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the
subject matter contained herein, and they supersede and replace any prior understandings or agreements, whether oral, written or implied, between you and the Company regarding the matters described in this letter. 

 LET’S MAKE IT OFFICIAL 

Congratulations on making it this far! To accept this offer, please sign and date this letter, and the Confidentiality Agreement below and return them to me.
As required, by law, your employment with the Company is also contingent upon your providing legal proof of your identity and authorization to work in the United States. This offer, if not accepted, will expire at the end of the day of 12/16/2018.

 We look forward to having you join us. 
 Very truly yours,

 Square Inc.

ARTICLE 1
 Definitions

 

Section 1.1.                                Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning set forth in Schedule 1.1.

 

ARTICLE 2
 Agreement; Purchase Price; Closing Date

 

Section 2.1.                                Agreement to Sell and Purchase.  Subject to the terms and provisions hereof, Seller agrees to sell the Property to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase the Property from Seller.

Subject to the adjustments and apportionments as hereinafter set forth, the Purchase Price shall be paid on the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds.

 

Section 2.3.                                Closing Date.  The transaction contemplated hereby shall close on December 28, 2018, subject to extension as provided herein (as may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the “Closing Date”).

ARTICLE 4
 Title and Survey

 

Section 4.1.                                Title and Survey

 

(a)                                 At or prior to execution of this Agreement, (a) Seller shall provide Purchaser with a copy of the most recent owner’s title insurance policy issued in connection with the Real Property, legible copies of all documents listed as exception documents in such title insurance policy and all existing surveys of the Real Property, to the extent that the same are in Seller’s possession or control; and (b) Purchaser shall order a title commitment for a title policy (the “Title Commitment”) from the Title Company and Seller shall order, at Seller’s sole cost, an ALTA survey of the Real Property (the “Survey”).  Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the day that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Due Diligence Period Notice Deadline to give Seller and the Title Company a written notice (“Purchaser’s Title Notice”) that sets forth any objections that Purchaser has to the Title Commitment or the Survey based on its review thereof (the “Purchaser Title Objections”).  Seller shall have two (2) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s Title Notice to notify Purchaser that Seller (i) will cause or (ii) elects not to cause any or all of the Purchaser Title Objections disclosed therein to be removed or insured over by the Title Company.  Seller’s failure to notify Purchaser within such two (2) Business Day period as to any Purchaser Title Objection shall be deemed an election by Seller not to remove or have the Title Company insure over such Purchaser Title Objection.  If Seller notifies or is deemed to have notified Purchaser that Seller shall not remove nor have the Title Company insure over any or all of the Purchaser Title Objections, Purchaser shall have three (3) Business Days thereafter (A) to waive such Purchaser Title Objections, in which case such Purchaser Title Objections (other than the Mandatory Cure Items) shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions”, or (B) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon shall be returned to Purchaser without any further action or approval required from Seller, and the rights and obligations of Purchaser and Seller (other than the those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof) shall terminate.  Purchaser’s failure to waive such Purchaser Title Objections or terminate this Agreement within the prescribed time period shall constitute Purchaser’s termination of this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Permitted Exceptions include, and Seller shall have the obligation to remove or cure on or before the Closing Date, (a) any exceptions to title which would be removed upon Seller’s delivery of the Title Affidavit to the Title Company, (b) any exceptions to title which are mortgages or liens evidencing monetary encumbrances, (c) the lien of ad valorem real or personal property taxes, assessments and governmental charges affecting all or any portion of the Property that are delinquent or that will be delinquent on the Closing Date, (d) title matters created or agreed to by Seller in violation of the terms of this Agreement, or (e) any exception to title that Seller has specifically agreed in writing to remove pursuant to this Section 4.1 (collectively, the “Mandatory Cure Items”).  It shall be a Condition Precedent favoring Purchaser that Seller remove all Mandatory Cure Items at or prior to Closing and in the event that Seller fails to cure all Mandatory Cure Items, Seller shall be in default of its obligations under this Agreement and Purchaser shall be afforded all of the rights and remedies provided in Section 10.3.

 

(b)                                 Purchaser may prior to the Closing Date notify Seller in writing of any objection to title or survey (excluding objections to title or survey which have been waived by Purchaser as hereinabove provided or that are or are deemed to be Permitted Exceptions) arising

 

2

 

after the date of Purchaser’s Title Notice (“New Title Matters”).  With respect to any objections to title or survey set forth in such notice, Seller shall have the same options to cure pursuant to Section 4.1(a) above and Purchaser shall have the same option to accept title subject to such matters or to terminate this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.

 

ARTICLE 5
 Inspection and Audit

 

Section 5.1.                                Due Diligence Materials; Access.

 

(a)                                 Within three (3) Business Days from the Effective Date, Seller shall provide to Purchaser complete copies of the documents and materials listed on Schedule 5.1, to the extent in Seller’s possession and control and to the extent not previously delivered to Purchaser.

 

(b)                                 During the term of this Agreement, Purchaser, personally or through its authorized agents or representatives, shall be entitled to interview the tenants and any subtenants and, upon reasonable advance notice to Seller, to enter upon the Property during normal business hours, and shall have the right to make such investigations, including appraisals, engineering studies, soil tests, environmental studies, inquiry of governmental officials, and underwriting analyses, as Purchaser deems necessary or advisable, subject to the following limitations:  (i) Purchaser shall give Seller written or telephonic notice (which may be via email) at least one (1) Business Day before conducting any inspections on the Property, and a representative of Seller shall have the right to be present when Purchaser or its representatives conducts its or their investigations on the Property; (ii) neither Purchaser nor its representatives shall materially interfere with the use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Property by the Tenant; (iii) neither Purchaser nor its agents shall damage the Property or any portion thereof, except for any immaterial damage caused by environmental or geotechnical tests, all of which shall promptly be repaired by Purchaser; and (iv) Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Seller against all costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and damage to the Property caused by the activities of Purchaser or its agents under this paragraph, provided; however, that such indemnity shall not include any costs or damages caused by (x) the acts of the Seller or its agents or representatives, (y) any claims of diminution in the value of the Property as a consequence of the results revealed by such tests and inspections or (z) any pre-existing condition of the Property.  The foregoing indemnification obligation shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement for a period of three (3) months.

 

Section 5.2.                                Due Diligence Period.  Purchaser shall have the period ending at 5:00 p.m.  Pacific Time on December 21, 2018, (the “Due Diligence Period”), to physically inspect the Property, review economic data and market conditions, review the Existing Yankee Lease and the Existing Boyd Lease (which Existing Boyd Lease shall be terminated on the Closing Date), conduct appraisals, make inquiry of governmental officials, perform examinations of the physical condition of the Improvements, examine the Real Property for the presence of Hazardous Materials, and to otherwise conduct such due diligence and underwriting as Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems appropriate.  This Agreement shall terminate unless, before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the last day of the Due Diligence Period (the “Due Diligence Period Notice Deadline”), Purchaser gives Seller written notice (the “Due Diligence Period Notice”) that Purchaser, in its absolute and unreviewable discretion, elects to proceed with the purchase of the

 

3

 

Property subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  In addition, at any time before the Due Diligence Period Notice Deadline, Purchaser may, in its absolute and unreviewable discretion, terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller (the “Termination Notice”) for any reason or no reason.  In the event that either:  (a) Purchaser gives a Termination Notice before the Due Diligence Period Notice Deadline, or (b) Purchaser does not give a Termination Notice but fails to deliver the Due Diligence Period Notice before the Due Diligence Period Notice Deadline, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, the Deposit promptly shall be returned to Purchaser, with no further action needed from either Purchaser or Seller, and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further obligations or liabilities to each other hereunder other than those obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

Section 5.3.                                Confidentiality.  Purchaser shall use the Confidential Information only for purposes of evaluating the Property in connection with its potential purchase thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (and, if the Closing occurs, in connection with its ownership of the Property).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Purchaser may disclose the Confidential Information to its owners, legal counsel, accountants, actual and potential lenders, actual and potential investors, regulatory authorities and similar third parties that need to review the Confidential Information in connection with Purchaser’s purchase of the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and financing thereof, and (b) Purchaser may disclose the Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is required by law or court order or by discovery rules in any legal proceeding, provided that Purchaser first shall provide written notice thereof to Seller (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter if Purchaser is not permitted to provide prior written notice by law or court order).  If this Agreement is terminated before the Closing, Purchaser promptly shall return the Confidential Information to Seller or shall destroy such Confidential Information.  Purchaser may retain any Confidential Information (and any derivative thereof) as required by law, regulation, stock exchange rules and internal document retention and archival policies.  Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (b) of this Section 5.3, the parties agree that, except as may be required by applicable law (including, without limitation, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange), prior to Closing no party shall make any public pronouncements, issue press releases or otherwise furnish information regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 5.4.                                Termination of Contracts.  Prior to the Due Diligence Period Notice Deadline, Purchaser shall notify Seller of which Contracts, if any, Purchaser wishes to have assigned to it at the Closing (any such contracts, the “Continuing Contracts”).  Any Contract as to which Purchaser does not send such notice shall remain the sole obligation of Seller to either cause to be (i) terminated by Seller effective as of the Closing Date at no cost to Purchaser or, (ii) provided that such Contract would not bind Purchaser from and after Closing (including, without limitation, in the event that Purchaser terminates the Seller Lease post Closing pursuant to the terms set forth therein,) assigned by Seller to Boyd Flotation to continue such services as the tenant at the Property under the Seller Lease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in all events, all management and leasing agreements shall be terminated on or before the Closing at no cost or liability to Purchaser.

 

4

 

Section 5.5.                                Cooperation.  During the term of this Agreement, the Seller shall direct its property manager, agents and employees to cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Purchaser to obtain information concerning the Property, including information supplementary to the information described in Schedule 5.1.

 

ARTICLE 6
 Conditions Precedent, Casualty Damage or Condemnation

 

Section 6.1.                                Conditions Precedent Favoring Purchaser.  In addition to any other conditions precedent in favor of Purchaser set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement are subject to the timely fulfillment of the conditions set forth in this Section 6.1 on or before the Closing Date, or such earlier date as is set forth below.  Each condition may be waived in whole or in part only by written notice of such waiver from Purchaser to Seller.

 

(a)                                 Seller shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all of the terms of this Agreement to be performed and complied with by Seller prior to or at the Closing;

(c)                                  Purchaser shall have received an estoppel certificate from Yankee Clipper dated no more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date reflecting the terms of the Existing Yankee Lease and otherwise substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 (the “Yankee Estoppel Certificate”).  Purchaser shall have received an estoppel certificate from Boyd Flotation dated no more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date reflecting the terms of the Existing Boyd Lease and otherwise substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 (the “Boyd Estoppel Certificate” and together with the Yankee Estoppel Certificate, each an “Estoppel Certificate” and collectively, the “Estoppel Certificates”).  With respect to each Estoppel Certificate, this condition shall not be satisfied if an Estoppel Certificate discloses:  (i) any default by Seller, in its capacity as landlord, or Yankee Clipper or Boyd Flotation, as applicable; (ii) any amendment, modification or supplement to the applicable Existing Lease that was entered into in violation of the terms of this Agreement; or (iii) any other information that is inconsistent in any material respect with the applicable Existing Lease or related information as provided to Purchaser during the Due Diligence Period.  Seller shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Estoppel Certificates, and shall deliver a copy of each Estoppel Certificate to Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof by Seller.  Seller shall allow Purchaser to review each Estoppel Certificate before presenting it to the applicable tenant.  Seller may also request a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (an “SNDA”) from each of Yankee Clipper and Boyd Flotation, as requested by Purchaser or its lender, such SNDA to be in the form provided by Purchaser (or in such other form as may be required by the applicable Existing Lease) for the benefit of Purchaser’s lender, promptly after Seller’s receipt thereof and shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in connection with obtaining such SNDAs.  Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the executed SNDAs (and written comments received from the applicable tenant with respect thereto) promptly upon receipt (but no later than two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof).  In no event shall the Closing be conditioned on Purchaser’s receipt of such SNDAs, if applicable;

 

5

 

(d)                                 On the Closing Date, Purchaser, as landlord, and Boyd Flotation, as tenant, shall have executed and delivered that certain Lease for occupancy of approximately three hundred eighteen thousand one hundred and four (318,104) square feet of leasable space at the Property substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M (the “Seller Lease”) and the Seller Lease shall contemplate the Existing Yankee Lease continuing to be in full force and effect as a sublease on the Property.  All further modifications with respect to the Seller Lease shall be negotiated by the parties on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period;

 

(e)                                  On the Closing Date, title to the Property shall be conveyed to Purchaser subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and the Title Company shall be irrevocably committed to issue to Purchaser an extended coverage owner’s title insurance policy (on the current ALTA Form) in the amount of the Purchase Price, together with the endorsements for Purchaser’s owner’s title insurance policy, insuring good and indefeasible fee simple title to the Real Property in Purchaser, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions;

 

(f)                                   On the Closing Date, neither Seller, Boyd Flotation nor Dennis Boyd shall be the subject of any bankruptcy proceedings.

 

Section 6.2.                                Conditions Precedent Favoring Seller.  In addition to any other condition precedent in favor of Seller set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller’s obligations under this Agreement are expressly subject to the timely fulfillment of the conditions set forth in this Section 6.2 on or before the Closing Date, or such earlier date as is set forth below.  Each condition may be waived in whole or part only by written notice of such waiver from Seller to Purchaser.

 

(a)                                 Purchaser shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all of the terms of this Agreement to be performed and complied with by Purchaser prior to or at the Closing; and

 

(b)                                 On the Closing Date, the representations of Purchaser set forth in Section 7.2 shall be true, accurate and complete in all material respects, evidenced by the delivery by Purchaser of a certificate of compliance (“Purchaser’s Representation Certificate”) to Seller at Closing.

 

Section 6.3.                                Casualty.  Unless and until the Closing is completed, the risk of loss to the Property from casualty or condemnation shall be borne by Seller.  If all or a portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing such that:  (1) Purchaser’s reasonable estimate of the cost to repair or restore the same exceeds $500,000; (2) Yankee Clipper or Boyd Flotation, as applicable, is permitted to terminate an Existing Lease under the terms thereof or to abate or offset rent under an Existing Lease on account of such casualty; (3) the Property cannot be restored or rebuilt as-of-right in compliance with applicable zoning laws (including any such zoning laws relating to reconstruction of grandfathered structures) or is rendered noncompliant with any applicable zoning laws; or (4) access to or egress from the Property is materially impaired (any such fire or other casualty, a “Material Casualty”), Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole option, elect to either:

 

(a)                                 terminate this Agreement, upon which neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further obligation under this Agreement, except for the obligations which expressly

 

6

 

survive the termination of this Agreement, and the Purchaser shall immediately receive the Deposit from the Escrow Agent; or

 

(b)                                 purchase the Property subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

In the event of a fire or other casualty that is not a Material Casualty, and in connection with any Material Casualty as to which Purchaser elects to proceed pursuant to Section 6.3(b), (i) Purchaser shall purchase the Property in accordance with the terms hereof without reduction in the Purchase Price (except that applicable deductible shall be credited against the Purchase Price); and (ii) Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing all insurance proceeds paid or payable on account of such damage, including any rental interruption insurance.  Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement under Section 6.3(a) unless, within fifteen (15) Business Days from reasonably detailed written notice to Purchaser of such casualty, Purchaser provides Seller with written notice that Purchaser elects to proceed pursuant to Section 6.3(b).  If the Closing Date would otherwise occur sooner, it shall automatically be extended to the date that is twenty (20) Business Days after written notice to Purchaser of the casualty.  If any insurance proceeds paid or payable on account of a fire or other casualty are to be assigned to Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Seller shall cooperate as reasonably requested by Purchaser to effectuate such assignment (including, if necessary, prosecuting claims in Purchaser’s name or for Purchaser’s benefit), and Seller’s obligation to so cooperate shall survive the Closing.

 

Section 6.4.                                Condemnation.  If, at any time before completion of the Closing, a taking or condemnation (or proceeding in lieu thereof) is commenced or threatened in writing:  (i) of all or substantially all of the Property; or (ii) of less than all or substantially all of the Property that:  (1) Purchaser’s reasonable estimate of the cost to repair or restore the same exceeds $500,000; (2) Yankee Clipper or Boyd Flotation, as applicable, is permitted to terminate an Existing Lease under the terms thereof or abate or offset rent under an Existing Lease on account of such condemnation; (3) the Property cannot be restored or rebuilt as-of-right in compliance with applicable zoning laws (including any such zoning laws relating to reconstruction of grandfathered structures) or is rendered noncompliant with any applicable zoning laws; or (4) access to or egress from the Property is materially impaired (any of the foregoing, a “Material Taking”), Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole option, elect either to:

 

(a)                                 terminate this Agreement, upon which neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further obligation under this Agreement, except for the obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, and the Purchaser shall immediately receive the Deposit from the Escrow Agent; or

 

(b)                                 purchase the Property subject to and in accordance with this Agreement.

 

In the event of condemnation or taking that does not constitute a Material Taking, or if there is a Material Taking but Purchaser elects to proceed under Section 6.4(b), (1) Purchaser shall purchase the Property in accordance with the terms hereof (without reduction in the Purchase Price), (2) Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing all condemnation proceeds and rental interruption insurance paid or payable as a result of such condemnation, (3) Purchaser shall have

 

7

 

the right to be present with Seller at any hearings or negotiations with respect thereto, and (4) Seller shall not settle or compromise any such matter without Purchaser’s prior written consent.  Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement under Section 6.4(a) unless, within fifteen (15) Business Days from written notice to Purchaser of the condemnation, Purchaser provides Seller with written notice that Purchaser elects to proceed pursuant to Section 6.4(b).  If the Closing Date would otherwise occur sooner, it shall automatically be extended to the date that is twenty (20) Business Days after written notice to Purchaser of the Material Taking.

(a)                                 During the term of this Agreement, Seller shall not enter into any Lease Transaction without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent may be given or withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion.

 

(b)                                 From and after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall not enter into any new Contracts or material modifications, renewals or terminations of any existing Contracts that would impose any obligations on Purchaser or on the Property after Closing, without the written consent of Purchaser, which consent may be granted or denied in Purchaser’s sole discretion.

any of its representations or warranties untrue, Seller shall promptly disclose such matters to Purchaser in writing.

 

(e)                                  Seller (i) shall not during the term of this Agreement offer, promise, give or agree to give to any person or entity any bribe on behalf of Purchaser or its affiliates or otherwise with the object of obtaining a business advantage for Purchaser or its affiliates or otherwise; (ii) will not engage in any activity or practice which would constitute an offense under any applicable anti-bribery and/or anti-corruption laws, including but not limited to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977; (iii) will maintain in place, its own policies and procedures to ensure compliance with any applicable anti-corruption laws; (iv) will ensure that any person or entity who performs or has performed services for or on its behalf in connection with this Agreement complies with the provisions of this Section 6.5(e) and Section 7.3(a)(vii); (v) will maintain in place, effective accounting procedures and internal controls necessary to record all expenditures in connection with this Agreement, which enable Seller, Purchaser and Purchaser’s affiliates to readily identify Seller’s financial and related records in connection with this Agreement; (vi) from time to time during the term of this Agreement, at the reasonable request of Purchaser, will confirm in writing that it has complied with its undertakings under this Section 6.5(e) and Section 7.3(a)(vii); (vii) shall notify Purchaser as soon as practicable of any breach of any of the undertakings contained in this Section 6.5(e) and Section 7.3(a)(vii) of which it becomes aware; (viii) shall explicitly include the obligations in this Section 6.5(e) and Section 7.3(a)(vii) in any subcontracts or agreements formed between Seller and any subcontractors to the extent that those subcontracts or agreements relate to fulfillment of Seller’s obligations to Purchaser under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 9

(a)                                 If and when, but only if and when, the Closing is completed and the Purchase Price is paid in full, Purchaser shall pay a real estate commission and/or brokerage fee to Broker in accordance with a separate agreement between Purchaser and Broker.

(c)                                  Purchaser represents, warrants and covenants with Seller that, except for Broker, Purchaser has not dealt with any real estate agent or broker in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.

 

The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the Closing.

 

ARTICLE 10
 Termination and Default

 

Section 10.1.                         Termination without Default.  If the sale of the Property is not consummated because of the failure of any condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason except a default by Purchaser in its

 

18

 

obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (which shall be governed by Section 10.2) or any default by Seller of its obligations under this Agreement (which shall be governed by Section 10.3), the Deposit shall promptly be returned to Purchaser and neither Party shall have any further obligations hereunder.

 

Section 10.2.                         Purchaser’s Default.  If the sale contemplated hereby is not consummated because of a default by Purchaser in its obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and if such default is not cured within ten (10) days from written notice thereof from Seller to Purchaser, then:  (a) this Agreement shall terminate; (b) the Deposit shall be paid to and retained by Seller as liquidated damages; and (c) Seller and Purchaser shall have no further obligations to each other.  PURCHASER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DAMAGES TO SELLER IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER WOULD BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE, THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS THE PARTIES’ BEST AND MOST ACCURATE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IF THE TRANSACTION SHOULD FAIL TO CLOSE AND THAT SUCH ESTIMATE IS REASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SELLER AND PURCHASER REASONABLY ANTICIPATE WOULD EXIST AT THE TIME OF SUCH BREACH.  PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE THAT SELLER’S RIGHT TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE SELLER’S SOLE REMEDY, AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, FOR PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.  THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNTS AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369 BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671,1676 AND 1677.

 

Section 10.3.                         Seller’s Default.  If Seller fails to perform any its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, and if such default is not cured within three (3) days from written notice thereof from Purchaser to Seller, then Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity:  (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller, in which event the Deposit will promptly be returned to Purchaser, Seller promptly shall reimburse Purchaser for the actual out-of-pocket third party costs that Purchaser has incurred in connection with this Agreement in an amount not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) and the transaction contemplated hereby, and the parties shall have no further obligation to each other except for the obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement; (b) waive such default and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or (c) specifically enforce this Agreement.  Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives any other right or remedy for such default; provided, however, that if, in breach of this Agreement, Seller intentionally or willfully defaults in its obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, by selling the Property (or any portion thereof) to someone other than Purchaser) or otherwise takes action that renders the remedy of specific performance impossible or impractical to obtain, Seller shall be liable for any damages suffered by Purchaser as a result of such breach, and Purchaser may seek any additional remedies from Seller in law or in equity.  If Purchaser brings an action for specific performance, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser pending the outcome of such action.

 

19

 

Section 10.4.                         Breach of Representations.

 

(a)                                 All representations, warranties and covenants of Seller and Purchaser set forth in this Agreement or in any document or certificate delivered by Seller or Purchaser in connection herewith shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months (the “Survival Period”), and no action or proceeding thereon shall be valid or enforceable, at law or in equity, unless within such time, written notice thereof is given to the other party.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller’s liability to Purchaser for any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in Section 7.3 of this Agreement shall not exceed One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) in the aggregate (“Seller’s Liability Cap”), other than in connection with a fraudulent misrepresentation for which there shall be no such cap.

 

(c)                                  Boyd Flotation, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“Guarantor”), hereby joins into this agreement to unconditionally and irrevocably guaranty that, during the Survival Period (or if any claims are made during the Survival Period, for such longer period until such time there is final, non-appealable resolution thereof), Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees payment of any liabilities of Seller pursuant to this Section 10.4 (subject to the same limitations set forth above).

 

ARTICLE 11

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, and it supersedes all prior discussions, understandings or agreements.  All Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are a part of this Agreement and are incorporated herein by reference.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and it shall be sufficient that the signature of each party appear on one or more such counterparts, and all counterparts shall collectively constitute a single agreement.  A party may deliver executed signature pages to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or via electronic mail to the other party, which facsimile or electronic copies shall be deemed to be an original executed signature page binding on the party that so delivered the executed signature page by facsimile or electronic mail.  No modification of this Agreement shall be deemed effective unless in writing and signed by both Seller and Purchaser.  In the event the time for performance of any obligation hereunder expires on a day that is not a Business Day, the time for performance shall be extended to the next Business Day.  The descriptive headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provisions of this Agreement.  Words such as “herein”, “hereinafter”, “hereof” and “hereunder” when used in reference to this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear, unless the context otherwise requires.  The singular shall include the plural and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires.  The word “including” shall not be restrictive and shall be interpreted as if followed by the words “without limitation.”  This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by

 

20

 

virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared primarily by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both Purchaser and Seller have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement.

 

Section 11.2.                         Assignment.

Any assignment of rights and assumption of obligations under this Agreement shall be subject to all the provisions, terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement and the assignee shall assume all of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.  Any such assignment and assumption shall be evidenced by a written agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller.

 

Section 11.3.                         Waiver; Governing Law.  The excuse or waiver of the performance by a party of any obligation of the other party under this Agreement shall only be effective if evidenced by a written statement signed by the party so excusing or waiving.  No delay in exercising any right or remedy shall constitute a waiver thereof, and no waiver by Seller or Purchaser of the breach of any covenant of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant or condition of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall be construed and the rights and obligations of Seller and Purchaser hereunder determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.

The inability to deliver notice because of a changed address of which no notice was given as provided above, or because of rejection or other refusal to accept any notice, shall be deemed to be the receipt of the notice as of the date of such inability to deliver or rejection or refusal to accept.  Any notice to be given by any party hereto may be given by the counsel for such party.

 

Section 11.5.                         Attorneys’ Fees.  In the event of a judicial or administrative proceeding or action by one party against the other party with respect to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, whether at the investigative, pretrial, trial or appellate level.

 

Section 11.6.                         IRS Real Estate Sales Reporting.  Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that the Title Company shall act as “the person responsible for closing” the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6045(e) of the Code and shall prepare and file all informational returns, including IRS Form 1099-S, and shall otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6045(e) of the Code.

 

22

 

Section 11.7.                         Further Instruments.  Each party, promptly upon the request of the other, shall execute and have acknowledged and delivered to the other or to Title Company, as may be appropriate, any and all further instruments reasonably requested or appropriate to evidence or give effect to the provisions of this Agreement and which are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 11.8.                         Severability.  The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Agreement comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions.  If, however, any provision in this Agreement is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state, or federal law, statute, ordinance, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, or if in any other respect such a court declares any such provision to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that, consistent with and with a view towards preserving the economic and legal arrangements among the parties hereto as expressed in this Agreement, such provision shall be given force and effect to the fullest possible extent, and that the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable provision were not contained herein, and that the rights, obligations, and interests of the parties under the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

 

Section 11.9.                         Exclusivity.  In consideration of the significant time and expense to be devoted by Purchaser to its potential acquisition of the Property, Seller agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, it will negotiate exclusively with Purchaser concerning a potential sale of the Property, it will not market the Property for sale or allow other potential purchasers to inspect or tour the Property, and it has not and will not enter into any agreement to sell the Property to any party other than Purchaser.  If Seller breaches its obligations under this Section, Purchaser shall have the right to damages and, at Purchaser’s election, injunctive or other equitable relief.

 

Section 11.10.                  Independent Consideration.  Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Purchaser has paid to the Seller as further consideration for this Agreement, the amount of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) (“Independent Consideration”) in addition to the Deposit and independent of any other consideration provided for hereunder, which Independent Consideration is fully earned by Seller and is not refundable under any circumstances.

 

Section 11.11.                  Tax Deferred Transaction.  Either party (such party, the “Exchanging Party”) may consummate the transaction contemplated in this Agreement as part of a so-called like kind exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to §1031 of the Code, provided that:  (i) the other, non-exchanging party (such party, the “Non-Exchanging Party”) shall be provided no less than ten (10) days prior written notice of such Exchange and the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange, nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of the Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the Non-Exchanging Party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) the Exchanging Party shall effect the Exchange through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary; (iii) the Non-Exchanging Party shall not be required to take an assignment of this Agreement for the relinquished property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property (other than the Property) for purposes of consummating the Exchange; and (iv) the Exchanging Party shall pay all costs (including legal fees, escrow costs, brokerage commissions, title charges, survey costs, recording costs and other charges) incurred with respect to the Exchange.  The Non-Exchanging

 

23

 

Party shall not by this agreement or acquiescence to the Exchange (1) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner, (2) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the Exchanging Party that the Exchange in fact complies with §1031 of the Code, (3) have any responsibility or liability to any third party involved in the Exchange, or (4) be required to make any representations or warranties, assume any obligations, spend any sum, or incur any personal liability whatsoever in connection with the Exchange.  For the avoidance of doubt, all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification obligations of the Exchanging Party set forth in this Agreement shall not be affected or limited by the Exchanging Party’s use of an exchange accommodator and shall survive the Exchange and shall continue to inure directly from the Exchanging Party for the benefit of the Non-Exchanging Party.

JOINDER BY BOYD FLOTATION, INC.

 

Boyd Flotation, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“Guarantor”), hereby joins in this Agreement in this joinder (the “Joinder”) solely in order to confirm its obligations as described in Section 10.4 hereof.

 

The terms of this Joinder and Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are a continuing and irrevocable obligation of Guarantor and shall remain in full force until payment, performance and/or observation in full of the obligations hereunder.  Guarantor’s guaranty and liability under this Joinder is absolute and unconditional (subject, however, to the terms, conditions and limitations on the liability of Seller as set forth in the Agreement, all of which shall apply to and limit Guarantor’s obligations and liability hereunder) and shall not be affected, released, terminated, discharged or impaired, in whole or in part, by any or all of the following:  (i) any lack of genuineness, regularity, validity, legality or enforceability, or the voidability, of this Joinder; (ii) the failure of Purchaser to exercise or to exhaust any right or remedy or take any action against any person or any collateral or other security available to it; (iii) any amendment or modification of the terms of this Joinder or the Agreement, unless otherwise provided therein to the contrary; (iv) any failure or delay of the Purchaser to exercise, or any lack of diligence in exercising, any right or remedy with respect to this Joinder (other than failure by Purchaser to comply with the timeframes and deadlines for any actions set forth in the Agreement); and/or (v) any other circumstance which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense available to Seller, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, other than the defense of (a) payment and performance (Purchaser, by its acceptance of this Joinder, hereby agreeing that any such payment or performance shall reduce Guarantor’s obligations and liability hereunder to the full extent of such payment or performance) or (b) the claim against Seller is not due and owing under the terms of the Agreement or that Seller has performed.

 

Guarantor expressly waives the following:  (a) notice of acceptance of the Agreement; (b) any requirement of promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of demand and notice of acceptance (other than failure by Purchaser to comply with the timeframes and deadlines for any actions set forth in the Agreement); (c) the right to trial by jury in any action or proceeding of any kind arising on, under, out of, or by reason of or relating, in any way, to its obligations under this Joinder or the Agreement, or the interpretation, breach or enforcement of such obligations; and (d) all rights of subrogation and any other claims that it may now or hereafter acquire against Seller or any insider that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder until such time as Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are performed and paid in full or have expired.  Guarantor’s guaranty under this Joinder is a present guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts and performance of all of its obligations hereunder notwithstanding the fact that this Joinder or the Agreement has become unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding.

 

Guarantor hereby represents, warrants and certifies to the Purchaser as follows:  (i) the execution, delivery and performance under this Joinder by Guarantor will not violate any provision of any law, regulation, order or decree of any governmental authority, bureau or agency or of any

 

 

court binding on Guarantor, or of any contract, undertaking or agreement to which Guarantor is a party or which is binding on Guarantor, or of any contract, undertaking or agreement to which Guarantor is a party or which is binding upon or any of its property or assets and (ii) this Joinder has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement of remedies to any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and doctrines of equity affecting the availability of equitable remedies.
