Entry Into a
Material Definitive Agreement

 

On August 7, 2017,
Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into
a forbearance agreement with GPB Debt Holdings II LLC, with regard
to a senior secured convertible note in original principal amount
of $1,437,500, issued February 12, 2016. Under the forbearance
agreement, GPB has agreed to forbear from exercising certain of its
rights and remedies (but not waive such rights and remedies),
arising as a result of the Company’s failure to pay the
monthly interest due and owing on the note.

 

In consideration
for the forbearance, the Company agreed to waive, release, and
discharge GPB from all claims against GPB based on facts existing
on or before the date of the forbearance agreement in connection
with the note, or the dealings between the Company and GPB, or the
Company’s equity holders and GPB, in connection with the
note.

 

Pursuant to the
forbearance agreement, the Company has reaffirmed its obligations
under the note and related documents and executed a confession of
judgment regarding the amount due under the note, which GPB may
file upon any future event of default by the Company. During the
forbearance period, the Company must continue to comply will all
the terms, covenants, and provisions of the note and related
documents.

 

The description of
the forbearance agreement contained in this Item 1.01 is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the full text of the forbearance
agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and
is incorporated by reference herein.

CONTRACT OF PURCHASE AND SALE

THIS CONTRACT OF PURCHASE AND SALE (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 15th day of May, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), by and between SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC., a New Jersey corporation having an address c/o Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc., 7007 NW 77th Avenue, Miami, FL 33166 (“Seller”) and HARBOR ASSOCIATES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, having an address at 200 Pine Avenue, Suite 630, Long Beach, CA 90802 (“Purchaser”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

	
A.
	
Seller shall sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, at the price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, (a) that certain parcel of land located at 10281 Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90064, and more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Land”), (b) the buildings, improvements, and structures located upon the Land (collectively, the “Improvements”), (c) all other easements and rights appurtenant to the Land, if any (collectively, the “Appurtenant Rights”, and together with the Land and the Improvements, the “Real Property”), (d) all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Leases (as hereinafter defined), and, to the extent assignable, the Contracts (as hereinafter defined), (e) other than as set forth on Exhibit N-1 (which items, for avoidance of doubt, shall remain the sole property of Seller), all right, title and interest of Seller, if any, in and to the fixtures, equipment and other tangible personal property owned by Seller and, located on, and used exclusively in connection with, the Real Property (collectively, the “Personal Property”) and (f) other than as set forth on Exhibit N-2 (which items, for avoidance of doubt, shall remain the sole property of Seller), to the extent assignable without consent or payment of any kind, all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under any governmental permits, licenses and approvals, warranties and guarantees that Seller has received in connection with any work or services performed with respect to, or equipment installed in, the Improvements (collectively, the “Intangible Property”, and together with the Real Property, the Leases, the Contracts, the Personal Property and the Intangible Property, collectively, the “Property”).

	
B.
	
Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that Seller (or affiliates of Seller) presently uses the Property, including the Improvements, in connection with its business operations, and, that Seller does not intend to relocate such business operations prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined).   Purchaser, therefore, agrees to lease the Real Property to Seller or an affiliate thereof, on and as of the Closing Date, upon and pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Post-Closing Lease (as hereinafter defined).  The Post-Closing Lease shall be executed and delivered by Purchaser, as landlord, and Seller or an affiliate thereof, as tenant, at the Closing.  Purchaser’s agreement to execute and deliver the Post-Closing Lease at the Closing is a material inducement to Seller’s agreement to sell the Property to Purchaser.

	
C.
	
Purchaser acknowledges that the Property is being sold on an “AS IS” “WHERE IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” basis on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, for $10.00 in hand paid and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.Purchase and Sale.  Upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Seller shall sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, the Property.

2.Purchase Price.  The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Property shall be the sum of Fourteen Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($14,700,000).

3.Payment of Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller by Purchaser as follows:

3.1Deposit.  Within two (2) Business Days (as hereinafter defined) after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit with Chicago Title Insurance Company (“Escrowee”), by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated by Escrowee (the “Escrow Account”), the sum of Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000) (together with all interest thereon, but excluding the Independent Consideration (as hereinafter defined), the “Deposit”), which Deposit shall be held by Escrowee pursuant to the escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) attached hereto as Exhibit M and hereby made a part hereof.  If Purchaser shall fail to deposit the Deposit with Escrowee within two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date, then at Seller’s election, this Agreement shall be null, void ab initio and of no force or effect.

3.2Independent Consideration.  A portion of the amount deposited by Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.1, in the amount of One Hundred Dollars ($100) (the “Independent Consideration”) shall be earned by Seller upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller and Purchaser.  Seller and Purchaser hereby mutually acknowledge and agree that the Independent Consideration represents adequate bargained for consideration for Seller’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and Purchaser’s right to have inspected the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The Independent Consideration is in addition to and independent of any other consideration or payment provided for in this Agreement and is nonrefundable in all events.  Upon the Closing (as hereinafter defined) or the termination of this Agreement, the Independent Consideration shall be paid to Seller.

3.3Closing Payment.  The Purchase Price, as adjusted by the application of the Deposit and by the prorations and credits specified herein, shall be paid by Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller on the Closing Date (the amount being paid under this Section 3.3 being herein called the “Closing Payment”).

4.Title Matters; Due Diligence Review; Conditions Precedent.

4.1Title Matters.

4.1.1Title to the Property.

(a)As a condition to the Closing, Chicago Title Insurance Company (in its capacity as title insurer, the “Title Company”) shall have committed to insure Purchaser as the fee owner of the Real Property in the amount of the Purchase Price by issuance of an ALTA owner’s 

-2-

 

MIA 31343668

 

title insurance policy in the standard form issued by the Title Company in the State of California, exclusive of any endorsement thereto (the “Owner’s Policy”), subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined).  It is understood that Purchaser may request extended coverage and a number of endorsements to the Owner’s Policy.  Purchaser shall satisfy itself prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period that the Title Company will be willing to issue such extended coverage and endorsements at Closing; however, the issuance of such extended coverage and endorsements shall not be conditions to Closing for Purchaser’s benefit.

(b)Seller has delivered to Purchaser a commitment and/or preliminary title report for an owner’s fee title insurance policy or policies with respect to the Real Property (the “Title Commitment”) together with copies of each of the title exceptions noted therein prior to the Effective Date.  Purchaser previously ordered, at its sole cost and expense, a survey of the Property prepared by a surveyor registered in the State of California, which shall certified by said surveyor to Purchaser and Seller as having been prepared in accordance with the minimum detail requirements of the ALTA land survey requirements (the “Survey”), and shall cause the Survey to be delivered to Seller’s attorneys concurrently with the delivery thereof to Purchaser or Purchaser’s attorneys.  If any exceptions(s) to title to the Real Property should appear in the Title Commitment or the Survey other than the Permitted Exceptions (such exception(s) being herein called, collectively, the “Unpermitted Exceptions”), subject to which Purchaser is unwilling to accept title, and Purchaser shall provide Seller with written notice (the “Title Objection Notice”) thereof no later than ten (10) days after receipt of the Title Commitment, Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, may undertake to eliminate the same subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.1.1.  Purchaser hereby waives any right Purchaser may have to advance, as objections to title or as grounds for Purchaser’s refusal to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transaction”), any Unpermitted Exception of which Purchaser does not timely notify Seller in the Title Objection Notice unless (i) such Unpermitted Exception was first raised by the Title Company subsequent to the date of the Title Objection Notice, and (ii) Purchaser provides to Seller a Title Objection Notice within five (5) days after the Title Company notifies Purchaser of such Unpermitted Exception.  Seller shall notify Purchaser, in writing, within six (6) days after receipt by Seller of the applicable Title Objection Notice, whether or not it will endeavor to eliminate all or any of such Unpermitted Exceptions (“Seller’s Title Response”), and if Seller fails to deliver Seller’s Title Response on or before such date, Seller shall be deemed to have delivered a Seller’s Title Response electing not to endeavor to eliminate any such Unpermitted Exceptions.  Seller, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, upon written notice to Purchaser prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, to adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date for up to ninety (90) days in order to eliminate or endeavor to eliminate any Unpermitted Exception which Seller has agreed to eliminate under this Agreement or which Seller has agreed to endeavor to eliminate pursuant to Seller’s Title Response.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall not under any circumstance be required or obligated to eliminate any Unpermitted Exception including, without limitation, to bring any action or proceeding, to make any payments or otherwise to incur any expense in order to eliminate any Unpermitted Exception or to arrange for title insurance insuring against enforcement of such Unpermitted Exception against, or collection of the same out of, the Real Property, notwithstanding that Seller may have attempted to do so, or may have adjourned the Scheduled Closing Date for such purpose; provided, however, Seller shall (x) satisfy any mortgage or deed of trust placed on the Real Property by Seller and (y) cause the removal (by bonding or otherwise) of other monetary liens encumbering the Real Property, provided that such monetary lien shall not be the result of any act or omission of Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Representatives or any of the tenants at the Real Property (collectively, “Mandatory Objections”).  

-3-

 

MIA 31343668

 

(c)Except as to Mandatory Objections (which Seller will be obligated to eliminate), if Seller elects in Seller’s Title Response not, or is deemed to elect not, to eliminate all Unpermitted Exceptions noted in the Title Objection Notice, Purchaser shall have the right, as its sole remedy by delivery of written notice to Seller within five (5) Business Days following delivery or deemed delivery of Seller’s Title Response, to either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Seller and Escrowee or (ii) accept title to the Real Property subject to such Unpermitted Exception(s) without a reduction in, abatement of, or credit against, the Purchase Price.  Except as to Mandatory Objections (which Seller will be obligated to eliminate), if Seller shall fail to eliminate all Unpermitted Exceptions that Seller elected in Seller’s Title Response to eliminate or endeavor to eliminate, then Seller shall notify Purchaser, in writing, of such failure on or before the Scheduled Closing Date (as the same may have been adjourned in accordance with Section 4.1.1(a)) and Purchaser shall have the right, as its sole remedy by delivery of written notice to Seller within three (3) Business Days following receipt of Seller’s notice of such failure, to either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Seller and Escrowee or (ii) accept title to the Real Property subject to such Unpermitted Exception(s) without a reduction in, abatement of, or credit against, the Purchase Price.  If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1.1(c), the Deposit shall promptly be paid to Purchaser, and no party hereto shall have any further obligation under this Agreement except under those obligations, liabilities and provisions that expressly survive the Closing or a termination of this Agreement (collectively, the “Surviving Obligations”).  The failure of Purchaser to deliver timely any written notice of election to terminate this Agreement under this Section 4.1.1(c) shall be conclusively deemed to be an election under the applicable clause (ii) above.  For avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that in no event shall the foregoing provisions be deemed to waive Purchaser’s rights under Section 4.2.3 of this Agreement. 

(d)If there are any Unpermitted Exceptions noted in the Title Objection Notice or other liens or encumbrances that Seller is obligated or elects to eliminate under this Agreement, then Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to either (i) arrange, at Seller’s cost and expense, for affirmative title insurance or special endorsements insuring against enforcement of such liens or encumbrances against, or collection of the same out of, the Real Property, or (ii) use any portion of the Purchase Price to pay and discharge the same, either by way of payment or by alternative manner reasonably satisfactory to the Title Company, and the same shall not be deemed to be Unpermitted Exceptions.

4.1.2Permitted Exceptions to Title.  The Real Property shall be sold and conveyed subject to the following exceptions to title (the “Permitted Exceptions”):

(a)any state of facts that an accurate survey may show;

(b)those matters specifically set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto; 

(c)all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of the United States, the State of California, or any agency, department, commission, bureau or instrumentality of any of the foregoing having jurisdiction over the Real Property (each, a “Governmental Authority”), as the same may now exist or may be hereafter modified, supplemented or promulgated;

(d)all presently existing and future liens of real estate taxes or assessments and water rates, water meter charges, water frontage charges and sewer taxes, rents and charges, if any, provided that such items are not yet due and payable and are apportioned as provided in this Agreement;

-4-

 

MIA 31343668

 

(e)any other matter or thing affecting title to the Real Property that Purchaser shall have agreed or be deemed to have agreed to waive as an Unpermitted Exception;

(f)rights of the tenants under a Lease either identified in the Lease Exhibit (as hereinafter defined) or entered into after the Effective Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(g)all violations of laws, ordinances, orders, requirements or regulations of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Real Property and existing on the Closing Date, whether or not noted in the records of or issued by any Governmental Authority;

(h)all utility easements of record which do not interfere with the present use of the Real Property;

(i)liens which are the responsibility of any tenant at the Real Property to cure, correct or remove;

(j)subject to Seller’s obligation to deliver the Owner’s Title Certificate (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to Section 5.1.13, the printed exceptions which appear in the standard form owner’s policy of the title insurance issued by the Title Company in the State of California;

Under no circumstance will Mandatory Objections constitute Permitted Exceptions.

4.2Due Diligence Reviews.  

4.2.1Except for title and survey matters (which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.1 above), Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the date which is fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE (the period of time commencing upon the Effective Date and continuing through and including such time on such date being herein called the “Due Diligence Period”) within which to perform and complete all of Purchaser’s due diligence examinations, reviews and inspections of all matters pertaining to the purchase of the Property, including, without limitation, all leases and service contracts, and all physical, environmental and compliance matters and conditions respecting the Property (collectively, the “Investigations”), which Investigations shall at all times be subject to Purchaser’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.2.  Prior to Closing, Seller shall provide Purchaser with reasonable access to the Real Property upon reasonable advance notice.  During the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall make available to Purchaser, at the offices of Seller and/or the property manager of the Property, access to such leases, service contracts, and other contracts and agreements with respect to the Property in Seller’s possession as Purchaser shall reasonably request, all upon reasonable advance written notice; provided, however, in no event shall Seller be obligated to make available (1) any document or correspondence which would be subject to the attorney-client privilege; (2) any document or item which Seller is contractually or otherwise bound to keep confidential; (3) any documents pertaining to the marketing of the Property for sale to prospective purchasers; (4) any internal memoranda, reports or assessments relating to the Property; (5) appraisals of the Property whether prepared internally by Seller or Seller’s affiliates or externally; or (6) any documents which Seller considers, in its good faith, confidential or proprietary.  Any entry upon the Property and all Investigations shall be made or performed during Seller’s normal business hours and at the sole risk and expense of Purchaser, and shall not interfere with the activities on or 

-5-

 

MIA 31343668

 

about the Real Property of Seller, its tenants or their respective employees and invitees.  Purchaser shall:

(a)promptly repair any damage to the Property resulting from any such Investigations and replace, refill and regrade any holes made in, or excavations of, any portion of the Property used for such Investigations so that the Property shall be in the same condition that it existed in prior to such Investigations;

4.2.2Property Information and Confidentiality.  All Information (as hereinafter defined) provided to or obtained by Purchaser, whether prior to or after the date hereof, shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)Any Information provided or to be provided with respect to the Property is solely for the convenience of Purchaser and was or will be obtained from a variety of sources.  None of the Seller Related Parties has made any independent investigation or verification of such information and, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, makes no (and expressly disclaims all) representations and warranties as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Information, or any other studies, documents, reports or other information provided to Purchaser hereunder and expressly disclaims any implied representations as to any matter disclosed or omitted.

(c)Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of the Purchaser’s Representatives to, use reasonable care to maintain in good condition all of the Information furnished or made available to such Person in accordance with this Section 4.2.2.  If this Agreement is terminated, then Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of the Purchaser’s Representatives to, promptly deliver to Seller all originals and copies of the Information in the possession of such Person that were delivered or provided by Seller or any Seller Related Parties, and to expunge and delete any of the Information maintained on any word processing or computer system or in any other electronic form to the extent practicable.

(d)As used in this Agreement, the term “Information” shall mean any of the following: (i) all information and documents in any way relating to the Property, the operation thereof or the sale thereof, including, without limitation, all leases and contracts furnished to, or otherwise made available (including, without limitation, in any electronic data room established by or on behalf of Seller) for review by, Purchaser or its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, partners, members, brokers, agents or other representatives, including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, contractors, consultants, engineers and financial advisors (collectively, the “Purchaser’s Representatives”), by any of the Seller Related Parties or any of their agents or representatives, including, without limitation, their contractors, engineers, attorneys, accountants, consultants, brokers or advisors, and (ii) all analyses, compilations, data, studies, reports or other information or documents prepared or obtained by Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s Representatives containing or based on, in whole or in part, the information or documents described in the preceding clause (i), the Investigations, or otherwise reflecting their review or investigation of the Property.

(f)In addition to any other remedies available to Seller, Seller shall have the right to seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief and/or specific performance, against Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s Representatives in order to enforce the provisions of this Section 4.2.2.

(g)The provisions of this Section 4.2.2 shall survive a termination of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year.

4.2.3Termination Right.  Purchaser shall, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, have the right, for any reason or no reason, to terminate this Agreement, effective only upon delivery to Seller, at any time prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, of a notice electing to terminate this Agreement (a “Termination Notice”).  If Purchaser elects to waive said termination right, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, at any time prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, a notice electing to waive said termination right (a “Waiver Notice”).  If Purchaser (i) delivers a Termination Notice as aforesaid prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or (ii) fails to deliver a Waiver Notice prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, TIME 

-8-

 

MIA 31343668

 

BEING OF THE ESSENCE, then, provided that Purchaser shall not be in default under this Agreement, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, and this Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate (and no party hereto shall have any further obligation under this Agreement except for the Surviving Obligations).  If Purchaser shall deliver the Waiver Notice to Seller before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed that the Property is acceptable to Purchaser and that it intends to proceed with the acquisition of the Property without a reduction in, or an abatement of or credit against, the Purchase Price and, thereafter, Purchaser shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.2.3 and Escrowee shall immediately thereafter pay the Deposit to Seller.

4.3Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Purchaser; No Financing Contingency.  The obligation of Purchaser to consummate the Transaction shall be subject to the performance and observance, in all material respects, by Seller of all covenants, warranties and agreements of this Agreement to be performed or observed by Seller prior to or on the Closing Date and the fulfillment on or before the Closing Date of all other conditions precedent to Closing benefiting Purchaser specifically enumerated in this Agreement, any or all of which may be waived by Purchaser in its sole discretion.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, while Purchaser may at its own risk attempt to obtain financing with regard to its acquisition of the Property, (i) Purchaser’s obtaining, or ability to obtain, financing for its acquisition of the Property is in no way a condition to Purchaser’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) Purchaser’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is in no way dependent or conditioned upon the availability of any financing whether generally in the marketplace or specifically in favor of Purchaser, and (iii) in no event shall the Closing be delayed on account of Purchaser’s obtaining, or ability to obtain, financing.

4.4Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Seller.  The obligation of Seller to consummate the Transaction shall be subject to the performance and observance, in all material respects, by Purchaser of all covenants, warranties and agreements of this Agreement to be performed or observed by Purchaser prior to or on the Closing Date and the fulfillment on or before the Closing Date of all other conditions precedent to Closing benefiting Seller specifically enumerated in this Agreement, any or all of which may be waived by Seller in its sole discretion.

5.Closing.  The closing (the “Closing”) of the Transaction shall occur at 1:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on or before May 31, 2017 (the “Scheduled Closing Date”) (as the same may be extended as expressly provided herein), TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE with respect to Purchaser’s obligation to close on such date, at the offices of Escrowee through an escrow and pursuant to escrow instructions consistent with the terms of this Agreement and otherwise mutually satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser (the date on which the Closing shall occur being herein referred to as the “Closing Date”).  It is contemplated that the Transaction shall be closed by means of a so called “New York Style Closing”, with the concurrent delivery of the documents of title, the commitment to deliver the Owner’s Policy and the payment of the Purchase Price.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no requirement that Seller and Purchaser physically meet for the Closing, and all documents and funds to be delivered at the Closing shall be delivered to Escrowee unless the parties hereto mutually agree otherwise.  Seller and Purchaser also agree that disbursement of the Purchase Price, as adjusted by the prorations, shall not be conditioned upon the recording of any document, but rather, upon the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Closing and the irrevocable agreement by the Title Company to issue the Owner’s Policy effective as of the Closing.  The Closing shall constitute

MIA 31343668

 

the Deed, (d) one-half (1/2) of the cost of Escrowee, and (e) all fees, costs or expenses in connection with Purchaser’s due diligence reviews hereunder.  Any other closing costs shall be allocated in accordance with local custom.

The provisions of this Section 5.3 shall survive the Closing or a termination of this Agreement.  

5.4Prorations.

5.4.1The following provisions shall govern the adjustments and prorations that shall be made at Closing and the allocation of income and expenses from the Property between Seller and Purchaser.  Except as expressly provided in this Section 5.4.1, all items of operating revenue and operating expenses of the Property, with respect to the period on or prior to 11:59 p.m. local time at the Real Property on the Closing Date (the “Cut-off Time”), shall be for the account of Seller and all items of operating revenue and operating expenses of the Property with respect to the period from and after the Cut-off Time, shall be for the account of Purchaser. Without limitation on the foregoing the following shall be prorated as of the Cut-off Time:

(a)All real estate taxes, water charges, sewer rents, vault charges and assessments on the Real Property shall be prorated on the basis of the fiscal year for which assessed.  In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the taxes on the Real Property resulting from the sale of the Real Property or from any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date.  If any assessments on the Real Property are payable in installments, then the installment for the current period shall be prorated (with Purchaser assuming the obligation to pay any installments due after the Closing Date).  

(b)Subject to this Section 5.4.1(b), all fixed rent and regularly scheduled items of additional rent under the Leases, and other tenant charges if, as and when received.  Seller shall provide a credit in an amount equal to all prepaid rentals for periods after the Closing Date and all refundable cash security deposits (to the extent the foregoing were made by tenants under the Leases and are not applied or forfeited prior to the Closing Date) to Purchaser on the Closing Date.  Rents and other tenant charges which are delinquent as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated on the Closing Date.  Purchaser shall include such delinquencies in its normal billing and shall diligently pursue the collection thereof in good faith after the Closing Date (but Purchaser shall not be required to litigate or declare a default under any of the Leases).  To the extent Purchaser receives rents or other tenant charges on or after the Closing Date, such payments shall be applied first to the rents or other tenant charges for the month in which the Closing occurs, second to the rents or other tenant charges that shall then be due and payable to Purchaser, and third to any delinquent rents or other tenant charges owed to Seller, with Seller’s share thereof being held by Purchaser in trust for Seller and promptly delivered to Seller by Purchaser.  Purchaser may not waive any delinquent rents or other tenant charges nor modify any of the leases so as to reduce or otherwise affect amounts owed thereunder for any period in which Seller is entitled to receive a share of charges or amounts without first obtaining Seller’s written consent, which consent may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion.  Seller hereby reserves the right to pursue any remedy against any of the tenants owing delinquent rents and any other amounts to Seller (but shall not be entitled to terminate any of the leases or any tenant’s right to possession), which right shall include the right to continue or commence legal actions or proceedings against any of the tenants.  Delivery of the Assignment and Assumption of Leases and Contracts shall not constitute a waiver by Seller of such right, and such 

-12-

 

MIA 31343668

 

right shall survive the Closing.  Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in any collection efforts hereunder (but shall not be required to litigate or declare a default under any of the leases).  With respect to delinquent rents and any other amounts or other rights of any kind respecting tenants who are no longer tenants of the Real Property on the Closing Date or who vacate the Real Property following the Closing Date, Seller shall retain all rights relating thereto.

(c)Charges and payments under contracts or permitted renewals or replacements thereof assigned to Purchaser pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption of Leases and Contracts.

(d)Any prepaid items, including, without limitation, fees for licenses which are transferred to Purchaser at the Closing and annual permit and inspection fees.

(e)Deposits with telephone and other utility companies, and any other Persons who supply goods or services in connection with the Real Property if the same are assigned to Purchaser at the Closing, which shall be credited in their entirety to Seller.

(f)Personal property taxes, if any, on the basis of the fiscal year for which assessed.

5.4.2If any of the items described in Section 5.4.1 hereof cannot be apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of information as to the amounts which are to be apportioned or otherwise, or are incorrectly apportioned at Closing or subsequent thereto, such items shall be apportioned or reapportioned, as the case may be, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date or the date such error is discovered, as applicable; provided that neither party shall have the right to request apportionment or reapportionment of any such item at any time following the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Reproration Outside Date”).  If the Closing shall occur before a real estate or personal property tax rate or assessment is fixed for the tax year in which the Closing occurs, the apportionment of taxes at the Closing shall be upon the basis of the tax rate or assessment for the preceding fiscal year applied to the latest assessed valuation.  Promptly after the new tax rate or assessment is fixed, the apportionment of taxes or assessments shall be recomputed and any discrepancy resulting from such recomputation and any errors or omissions in computing apportionments at Closing shall be promptly corrected and the proper party reimbursed, which obligations shall survive the Closing.

5.4.3The provisions of this Section 5.4 shall survive the Closing until the Reproration Outside Date.

6.Condemnation or Destruction of Real Property.  If, after the Effective Date but prior to the Closing Date, Seller becomes aware that either any portion of the Real Property is taken pursuant to eminent domain proceedings or condemnation or any of the Improvements are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, then Seller shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Purchaser, notice of any such eminent domain proceedings or casualty.  Seller shall have no obligation to restore, repair or replace any portion of the Real Property or any such damage or destruction.  Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s interest in all awards or other proceeds for such taking by eminent domain or condemnation or the proceeds of any insurance collected by Seller for such damage or destruction (unless such damage or destruction shall have been repaired prior to the Closing and except to the extent any such awards, proceeds or insurance are attributable to lost rents or items applicable to any period prior to the Closing), less the amount of all costs incurred by 

-13-

 

MIA 31343668

 

Seller in connection with the repair of such damage or destruction or collection costs of Seller respecting any awards or other proceeds for such taking by eminent domain or condemnation or any uncollected insurance proceeds which Seller may be entitled to receive from such damage or destruction, as applicable.  In connection with any assignment of awards, proceeds or insurance hereunder, Seller shall credit Purchaser with an amount equal to the applicable deductible amount under Seller’s insurance (but not more than the amount by which the cost, as of the Closing Date, to repair the damage is greater than the amount of insurance proceeds assigned to Purchaser); provided, however, if the amount of the damage or the value of the taking (in each case, as determined by an independent third party contractor or engineer selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Purchaser) or the amount of condemnation award shall exceed the sum of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after notification to Purchaser of the estimated amount of the damages or the value of the taking.  In any instance where this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 6, the Deposit shall, provided such termination occurs prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and that Purchaser is not otherwise in default of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, be promptly returned to Purchaser, and this Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate (and no party hereto shall have any further obligation under this Agreement except for the Surviving Obligations).  The parties hereby waive the provisions of any statute which provides for a different outcome or treatment in the event of a casualty or a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding.  The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the Closing or a termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) if any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith are false or inaccurate or if Seller is in breach or default of any of its obligations under this Agreement and if either (x) on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period Purchaser shall have had actual knowledge of the false or inaccurate representations or warranties or other breach or default, or (y) the accurate state of facts pertinent to such false or inaccurate representations or warranties or evidence of such other breach or default was contained in any of the Information furnished or made available to or otherwise obtained by Purchaser on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Seller shall have no liability or obligation respecting such representations or warranties that are false or inaccurate or such other breach or default (and Purchaser shall have no cause of action or right to terminate this Agreement with respect thereto), and the representations and warranties of Seller shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to eliminate such false and inaccurate information and to make such representations and warranties true and accurate in all respects; and (ii) if any of the representations or warranties of Seller that survive Closing contained in this Agreement or in any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith are false or inaccurate, or if Seller is in breach or default of any of its obligations under this Agreement that survive Closing, and if either (x) following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period but prior to Closing, Purchaser shall obtain knowledge of such false or inaccurate representations or warranties or such other breach or default, or (y) the accurate state of facts pertinent to such false or inaccurate representations or warranties or evidence of such other breach or default was contained in any of the Information furnished or made available to or otherwise obtained by Purchaser following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Transaction closes, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such breach or default, Seller shall have no liability or obligation respecting such false or inaccurate representations or warranties or such other breach or default, and Purchaser shall have no cause of action with respect thereto.

No failure or delay of either party in the exercise of any right or remedy given to such party hereunder or the waiver by any party of any condition hereunder for its benefit (unless the time specified in this Agreement for exercise of such right or remedy has expired) shall constitute a waiver of any other or further right or remedy nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof or any other right or remedy.

(a)to provide to the Reporting Person all information and certifications regarding such party, as reasonably requested by the Reporting Person or otherwise required to be provided by a party to the Transaction under Section 6045 of the Code; and

(b)to provide to the Reporting Person such party’s taxpayer identification number and a statement (on Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or an acceptable substitute form, or on any other form the applicable current or future Code sections and regulations might require and/or any form requested by the Reporting Person), signed under penalties of perjury, stating that the taxpayer identification number supplied by such party to the Reporting Person is correct.

(c)Each party hereto agrees to retain this Agreement for not less than four years from the end of the calendar year in which Closing occurred, and to produce it to the Internal Revenue Service upon a valid request therefor.

(d)The addresses for Seller and Purchaser are as set forth in Section 11.9 hereof, and the real estate subject to the transfer provided for in this Agreement is described in Exhibit A.

conduct, withdraw and/or settle appeals, and Purchaser hereby consents to such actions as Seller may take therein.

Purchaser and Seller agree that all sums payable to tenants under the Leases on account of such tax savings or refund shall be promptly paid to such tenants following receipt of such tax savings or refund.  Purchaser shall execute all consents, receipts, instruments and documents which may reasonably be requested in order to facilitate settling such proceeding and collecting the amount of any refund or tax savings.

11.23California Required Natural Hazard Disclosure.  Seller has commissioned Title Company to prepare the natural hazard disclosure statement in the form required by California Civil Code Section 1103.  Purchaser acknowledges that the Transaction is not subject to that Civil Code Section, but that nevertheless the form promulgated therein serves to satisfy other statutory disclosure requirements of the Government Code and Public Resources Code.  Seller does not warrant or represent either the accuracy or completeness of the information on that form, and Purchaser shall use same merely as a guideline in its overall investigation of the Property.

11.24Post-Closing Lease.

(a)a lease term of one (1) year from the Closing, provided that the tenant thereunder may terminate the Post-Closing Lease in its sole discretion at any time prior thereto upon thirty (30) day notice; 

(b)monthly base rent of Seventy Thousand Dollars ($70,000) during the term of the Post-Closing Lease; 

(c)during the term of the Post-Closing Lease, the tenant thereunder shall be responsible for all routine operating expenses and day-to-day maintenance expenses payable with respect to the property demised thereunder, provided, however, in no event shall Seller be obligated to pay for any capital expenditures, expenses or improvements of any kind made to or on the Property following the Closing; and

(d)during the term of the Post-Closing Lease, the tenant thereunder shall on a monthly basis reimburse Purchaser for (i) the insurance premiums paid by Purchaser in order to maintain the insurance required under the Post-Closing Lease in an amount not to exceed Eight Thousand Dollars ($8,000) per month, and (ii) real estate taxes assessed against the

property demised thereunder with respect to the term of the Post-Closing Lease in an amount not to exceed Four Thousand Dollars ($4,000) per month. 

11.24.2If Purchaser and Seller agree, in each party’s sole discretion, upon the form of the Post-Closing Lease prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the parties shall execute an amendment to this Agreement memorializing the form of the Post-Closing Lease and deleting this Section 11.24 from this Agreement (the “Post-Closing Lease Amendment”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller or Purchaser shall, in their sole discretion, have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the execution of the Post-Closing Lease Amendment, for any reason or no reason whatsoever, effective upon delivery of a notice to the other party electing to terminate this Agreement (a “Post-Closing Lease Termination Notice”).  If (i) either party delivers a Post-Closing Lease Termination Notice prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or (ii) the parties fail to execute the Post-Closing Lease Amendment prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, for any reason whatsoever, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, then, provided that Purchaser shall not be in default under this Agreement, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, and this Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate (and no party hereto shall have any further obligation under this Agreement except for the Surviving Obligations).  Purchaser shall deliver to Seller an initial draft of the Post-Closing Lease no later than two (2) days following the Effective Date. 

11.25Survival.  The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the Closing or a termination of this Agreement.

CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS UNDER
TREASURY REGULATIONS SECTION 1.1445-2(b)

(NON-DISREGARDED ENTITY GRANTOR/TRANSFEROR)

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity.  To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“Seller”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Seller:

1.Seller is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations);

2.Seller is not a disregarded entity as defined in § 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);

3.Seller’s U.S. employer identification number is _________; and

4.Seller’s office address is c/o Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc., 7007 NW 77th Avenue, Miami, FL 33166.

Seller understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct, and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Seller.

WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser entered into that certain Contract of Purchase and Sale dated as of the date hereof, for the purchase and sale of the property located at 10281 Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90064 (the “Property”), as more particularly described therein (hereinafter referred to as the “Contract”);

WHEREAS, the Contract provides for the terms and conditions applicable to the sale and purchase of the Property and the performance obligations and rights of Seller and Purchaser; and

WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser agree, pursuant to the Contract, that Escrowee shall hold, in escrow the Deposit in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contract and this Agreement.  All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Contract.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Appointment of Agent.

1.1Purchaser and Seller hereby appoint Escrowee to act as their escrow agent on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, and Escrowee accepts such appointment.

1.2Escrowee agrees to hold the Deposit on behalf of the parties to the Contract, and to apply, disburse and deliver the Deposit as provided in the Contract and this Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Contract and the terms or conditions of this Agreement, as to the obligations of Escrowee, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern and control.

2.Disposition of the Deposit.

2.1Escrowee shall hold the Deposit in an interest bearing savings account which rate of interest need not be maximized.  Escrowee shall not commingle the Deposit with any other funds.

within seven (7) Business Days after the giving of notice by Escrowee, Escrowee is hereby authorized to deliver the Deposit to the party who made the demand.  If Escrowee receives a notice of objection within said period, then Escrowee shall continue to hold the Deposit and thereafter pay it to the party entitled when Escrowee receives (a) notice from the objecting party withdrawing the objection, or (b) a notice signed by both parties directing disposition of the Deposit, or (c) a judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

2.3Nothing in this Section 2 shall have any effect whatsoever upon Escrowee’s rights, duties, and obligations under Section 3.

3.Concerning Escrowee.

3.1Escrowee shall be protected in relying upon the accuracy, acting in reliance upon the contents, and assuming the genuineness of any notice, demand, certificate, signature, instrument or other document which is given to Escrowee without verifying the truth or accuracy of any such notice, demand, certificate, signature, instrument or other document;

3.2Escrowee shall not be bound in any way by any other contract or understanding between Seller and Purchaser, whether or not Escrowee has knowledge thereof or consents thereto unless such consent is given in writing;

3.4Upon the disbursement of the Deposit in accordance with this Agreement, Escrowee shall be relieved and released from any liability under this Agreement;

3.5Escrowee may resign at any time upon at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Seller and Purchaser hereto.  If, prior to the effective date of such resignation, Seller and Purchaser hereto shall have approved, in writing, a successor escrow agent, then upon the resignation of Escrowee, Escrowee shall deliver the Deposit to such successor escrow agent.  From and after such resignation and the delivery of the Deposit to such successor escrow agent, Escrowee shall be fully relieved of all of its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement, all of which duties, responsibilities and obligations shall be performed by the appointed successor escrow agent.  If for any reason Seller and Purchaser shall not approve a successor escrow agent within such period, Escrowee may bring any appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Deposit with a court of competent jurisdiction, pending the approval of a successor escrow agent, and upon such deposit Escrowee shall be fully relieved of all of its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement;

3.6Seller and Purchaser hereby agree to, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Escrowee from and against any liabilities, damages, losses, costs or expenses incurred by, or claims or charges made against, Escrowee (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) by reason of Escrowee performing its obligations pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement, but in no event shall Escrowee be indemnified for its negligence, willful misconduct or breach of the terms of this Agreement;
