CLOSING ADJUSTMENTS

Section 7.01 General Prorations. The following will be apportioned at the Closing:

(a) Rents, if any, as and when collected (the term “rents” as used in this Contract including base rent, percentage rent, common area maintenance, parking, tax, insurance and other payments due and payable under any Lease for all or any portion of the Improvements, together with all sales and other taxes thereon) and all other income generated by all or any portion of the Property, including parking revenue. There will be no proration of rents accrued but not collected as of the Closing Date.

(b) Taxes and other assessments (including personal property taxes on the Personal Property, if any) applicable to the Real Property. Special assessments certified by any municipal utility district or other taxing authority prior to the Closing Date must be paid in their entirety by Seller at or before the Closing, except to the extent such assessments are payable in installments, in which event they shall be prorated between the parties. If the tax rate or assessed valuation or both have not yet been fixed, the proration shall be based on a good faith estimate as to the amount of such taxes for the current year after consideration of the tax rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed; provided that the parties hereto agree that to the extent the actual taxes for the current year differ from the amount so apportioned at the Closing, the parties hereto will make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves following the Closing, and this provision shall survive delivery of the Deed.

(c) Gas, electricity and other utility charges, if any, to be apportioned on the basis of the last meter reading to the extent not paid for by the Tenant.

In making such apportionments, Purchaser will receive credit for all rents and other income paid with respect to the day of the Closing, and Purchaser will be charged for taxes and other expenses incurred with respect to the day of the Closing. All apportionments are to be subject to post-closing adjustments as necessary to reflect later relevant information not available at the Closing and to correct any errors made at the Closing with respect to such apportionments; provided, however, that such apportionments shall be deemed final and not subject to further post-closing adjustments

 

8


if no such adjustments have been requested in writing after a period of sixty (60) days from such time as all necessary information is available to make a complete and accurate determination of such apportionments. All apportionments (regardless of whether all relevant information has been received on errors have been made) are final and not subject to further post-closing adjustment one (1) year following the Closing Date.

Section 7.02 Specific Prorations. Anything hereinabove contained to the contrary notwithstanding:

(a) Seller and Purchaser agree that all rents received after the Closing from any tenant after reasonable costs of collection, if any, incurred by Purchaser shall be applied first to current rentals owed by such tenant, and then to delinquent rentals, if any, owed by such tenant in the inverse order of their maturity, and Purchaser will deliver to Seller any such delinquent rentals owed Seller and received following the Closing. For a period of six (6) months following the Closing, Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to collect for Seller any rental payments past due as of the Closing or due subsequent to Closing for a period prior to Closing, from tenants who were tenants as of the Closing; provided, however, Purchaser shall not be required to declare a lease default or institute any legal action in any court against any tenant. Seller will deliver to Purchaser, within five (5) business days following receipt, any rents received by Seller after the Closing and attributable to the period from and after the Closing. From and after the sixth (6th) month following the Closing Date, Seller shall have the right to pursue reasonable collection remedies against any tenant owing delinquent rentals owed Seller, provided that (i) Seller shall notify Purchaser of its intent to institute any collection remedy or proceeding not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the institution thereof, and (ii) Seller shall in no event institute any proceeding to evict or dispossess a tenant from the Property. Purchaser may, by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days of receipt of Seller’s notice of intent to institute collection remedies or proceedings, restrict Seller from collecting such delinquent rentals, but only if Purchaser first pays Seller such delinquent rentals in exchange for Seller’s assignment to Purchaser of all of Seller’s rights and causes of action with respect thereto.

(b) At the Closing, Seller shall credit to the account of Purchaser against the Purchase Price (i) any security deposit reflected as being made under any leases executed with respect to the Property or otherwise actually collected by Seller, together with all interest, if any, which must be paid thereon to any tenant thereunder; and (ii) all prepaid rents and other charges paid in advance by any tenants of the Property and attributable to the period after the Closing; and in each case, the Lease Assignment shall provide for Purchaser’s assumption of the obligation to return any such sums (and, if applicable, interest thereon) to the extent same are so credited, but not otherwise. If any security deposits are in the form of a letter of credit, Seller must deliver to Purchaser at Closing the original letter of credit, together with all assignment/transfer documentation (fully executed and bank authenticated, as applicable) and assignment/transfer fees required by the issuing entity to cause same to be reissued to Purchaser immediately following the Closing.

(c) Leasing commissions and tenant improvement expenses relating to lease agreements pertaining to the Property shall be apportioned between the parties as follows:

(i) All such expenses relating to leases executed before the Effective Date, and which are not contingent on renewal or expansion of any such Lease after the Effective Date, shall be the sole obligation of Seller and shall be paid in full by Seller (regardless of whether any portion of such expenses may not otherwise become due until after the Closing Date), on or before the Closing Date and, if Purchaser fails to receive reasonably acceptable evidence of such payment (together with the release of any lien applicable thereto), the unpaid portion shall be credited against the Purchase Price.

(ii) All such expenses relating to the Lease executed before the Effective Date, which are solely payable with respect to and contingent upon renewal of any such Lease or expansion into additional space by the tenant under any such Lease after the Closing Date shall be the sole obligation of Purchaser, provided such expenses are disclosed in the Lease and commission agreements delivered to Purchaser during the Review Period. Any such expenses not so disclosed shall render Seller liable for any such expenses and, if Purchaser fails to receive reasonably acceptable evidence of payment (together with the release of any lien applicable thereto) on or before the Closing, Purchaser will receive a credit therefor against the Purchase Price.

(iii) Any such expenses relating to the Lease executed between the Effective Date and Closing shall be borne by Seller and, if Purchaser fails to receive reasonably acceptable evidence of payment (together with the release of any lien applicable thereto) on or before the Closing, Purchaser will receive a credit therefor against the Purchase Price.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Tenant under the Lease is responsible for paying any of the items which are to be prorated, then there shall only be a proration to the extent that the Tenant under such Lease does not pay for the same.

Section 7.03 Transaction Costs. Seller shall be responsible for (a) all attorneys fees and expenses, if any, of counsel to Seller; (b) the cost of the Owner’s Policy and any endorsements requested by Purchaser (including, but not limited to, extended coverage) up to a maximum of Six Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($6,000.00); (c) one-half (1/2) of any escrow and other charges of the Title Company and recording fees; and (d) the cost of the current ALTA as-built survey and any changes requested by Purchaser to the survey up to a maximum of Three Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($3,000.00). Purchaser shall be responsible for (a) all attorneys’ fees and expenses, if any, of counsel to Purchaser; (b) one-half (1/2) of any escrow and other charges of the Title Company and (c) all costs of title insurance and endorsements over the amount Seller has agreed to pay, all costs of Purchaser’s due diligence and all costs of survey over the amount Seller has agreed to pay.

Section 7.04 Brokerage Commissions. Purchaser represents to Seller that Purchaser has not engaged the services of any broker, finder or other agent in regard to this Contract, except for John Shuff with NAI/DESCO, whose address is 8235 Forsyth Boulevard, Suite 20, St. Louis, Missouri (“Shuff”) who shall be paid a commission by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement if the transaction contemplated by this Contract closes. Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless against all liability, loss, cost, damage and expense (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and court costs, including any appeal that may be filed) which Seller shall ever suffer or incur because of any claim by any broker, finder, or other agent, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with respect hereto resulting from the acts of Purchaser. Seller represents to Purchaser that Seller has not engaged the services of any real estate broker, finder or other agent in regard to this Contract other than NAI/DESCO (excluding Shuff) who shall be paid a commission by Seller pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement if the transaction contemplated by this Contract closes. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Purchaser and hold Purchaser harmless against all liability, loss, cost, damage and expense (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and court costs, including any appeal that may be filed) which Purchaser shall ever suffer or incur because of any claim by any broker, finder, or other agent, whether or not meritorious, for any fee, commission or other compensation with respect hereto resulting from the acts of Seller. This provision shall survive Closing.

Section 7.05 Survival. The terms of this Article shall survive the termination of this Contract and the Closing and delivery of the Deed.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION AND REMEDIES

Section 8.01 Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser defaults under this Contract, Seller shall be entitled, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Contract in which event the Earnest Money Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be delivered immediately to Seller. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that delivery of the Earnest Money Deposit shall be deemed liquidated damages for Purchaser’s breach of this Contract, it being further agreed that the actual damages to Seller in the event of such breach are impractical to ascertain and the Earnest Money Deposit is a reasonable estimate thereof. Seller has no right to specifically enforce Purchaser’s obligations under this Contract nor to seek or otherwise collect any actual, out-of-pocket, lost profit, punitive, consequential, treble, or other damages from or against Purchaser, except for the indemnity obligations of Purchaser expressly set forth in this Contract. In no event shall any officer, director, agent or employee of Purchaser or its partners be personally liable for any of Purchaser’s obligations under this Contract or the documents to be delivered at the Closing.

 

11


Section 8.02 Seller’s Default. If Seller defaults under this Contract, Purchaser shall be entitled, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies, to either (a) terminate this Contract upon written notice to Seller and to request the Title Company to return the Earnest Money Deposit, together with all accrued interest thereon, to Purchaser or (b) pursue an action to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Contract. Purchaser has no right, except as provided in the next sentence, to seek damages against Seller. If specific performance would not be an effective remedy as the result of Seller’s willful failure to close the transaction, or conveyance of all or any portion of the Property or executing a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering all or any portion of the Property which will not be released at Closing, Purchaser may, in lieu of specific performance (but not in lieu of the return of the Earnest Money Deposit), collect its damages from Seller.

ARTICLE IX

To Seller’s actual knowledge, Seller as landlord has fully completed all construction obligations and all tenant improvements specified in the Lease to be the responsibility of the landlord thereunder and has paid all tenant improvement costs, allowances and leasing commissions applicable thereto and no such costs are payable at any time hereafter. Seller has not received any written notice of any default or breach on the part of the landlord under the Lease, nor, to Seller’s actual knowledge, does there exist any default or breach on the part of the landlord thereunder. Except as set forth in the Lease, no Lease grants any tenant any right to purchase all or any portion of the Property. To Seller’s knowledge and except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, there are no agreements which would require the payment of a leasing commission by the landlord upon any renewal or expansion of an existing Lease or new Lease executed or otherwise exercised after the Effective Date. There are no pending contracts for the sale of all or any portion of the Property. Seller hereby discloses that the Lease is not guaranteed and Seller intends to amend the Lease by having a third amendment to lease fully executed before Closing.

(f) There are no Service Contracts or other written agreements for services, supplies or materials to which Seller is a party or is obligated which affect the use, operation or management of the Property and which shall bind the Property after Closing.

(g) Seller has not received any written notice concerning any alleged violation of any applicable environmental law, rule or regulation which remains uncured.

(h) Purchaser has no obligation to continue to employ any persons presently employed by Seller at the Property.

(i) Seller is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”)), and is not subject to the provisions of Sections 897(a) or 1445 of the Code related to the withholding of sales proceeds to foreign persons.

Section 9.02 Purchaser’s Representations. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

 

13


(a) Purchaser is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland, and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. This Contract constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.

(b) Purchaser has the capacity and complete authority to enter into and perform this Contract, and no consent, approval or other action by any person or entity (other than the person signing this Contract on behalf of Purchaser and any approval to be obtained by Purchaser during the Review Period) will be needed thereafter to authorize Purchaser’s execution and performance of this Contract.

Section 9.03 Discovery. If either Seller or Purchaser discovers, prior to or at the Closing, that any representation or warranty of the other party is false, misleading or inaccurate in any material respect, the discovering party may, at its option, and as its sole remedy, terminate this Contract and the parties hereto shall be relieved of all liabilities and obligations hereunder and (a) if Purchaser is the discovering party, Purchaser shall be entitled to the immediate return of the Earnest Money Deposit, together with all accrued interest thereon, and to pursue its remedies under Section 8.02 of this Contract; and (b) if Seller is the discovering party, Seller shall be entitled to pursue its remedies under Section 8.01 of this Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the conditions change so that Seller’s representations contained in Section 9.01(b), (c), (d) or (g) are not accurate as a result of an event occurring after the Effective Date, then Seller can update this representation and Purchaser’s sole remedy as a result of such update is to terminate this Contract, in which event the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. In the event that Purchaser’s representations are inaccurate, then Seller shall have the right to terminate this Contract, in which event the Earnest Money Deposit, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall be paid to Seller as Seller’s sole remedy. If the discovering party elects to proceed to Closing such party cannot later bring a claim against the other as to such discovered matter. Representations and warranties under this Article IX shall fully survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed, but to the extent that neither Seller nor Purchaser has made any claim as to the breach of any such representation or warranty within one (1) year after the Closing Date, such representations and warranties will terminate and be of no further force and effect.

Section 9.04 Operating Covenants. Seller agrees to operate and maintain the Property prior to the Closing in a manner consistent with its current operating procedures, and shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, do any of the following:

(a) Enter into any contract affecting and binding on the Real Property (other than leases which are subject to clause (b) below) that will not be fully performed by Seller on or before the Closing Date or that will not be susceptible of cancellation by Purchaser on or after the Closing Date upon thirty (30) days or less prior written notice, without cost or liability to Purchaser, or amend, modify or supplement any existing contract (other than leases which are subject to clause (b) below) or agreement in any material respect.

 

14


(b) Enter into any new lease or amend, modify, supplement or terminate any existing lease without Purchaser’s consent; except that Seller shall enter into a third amendment to lease with the Tenant the substance of which is not materially different than the draft third amendment to lease delivered to Purchaser prior to the date hereof and which contains the items set forth in Section 9.05(f) without Purchaser’s consent.

(c) Seller agrees to notify Purchaser in the event that Seller becomes aware that the Tenant is not maintaining insurance and also agrees to promptly notify Purchaser in the event of an occurrence of any fire or other casualty affecting the Property.

(d) Sell, assign or create any right, title or interest whatsoever in or to the Property (including any so-called “back-up” contracts which are expressly prohibited) or create any voluntary lien, thereon from and after the date of the Title Commitment, other than liens or encumbrances noted in the Title Commitment, without promptly discharging same or otherwise complying with the terms of Section 4.04.

(e) Intentionally take any action which would have the effect of violating any of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Contract.

Section 9.05 Conditions Precedent. Purchaser is not obligated to perform under this Contract unless all of the following conditions precedent are satisfied (or waived in writing by Purchaser) and are otherwise true and correct as of the Closing Date:

(a) All of Seller’s representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects.

(b) Seller has performed all of its material covenants, agreements, and obligations under this Contract in all material respects and is otherwise not in material default.

(c) Seller has delivered all (i) Required Estoppels in compliance with Section 6.02(e).

(d) There has been no material adverse change in the matters reflected in the Title Commitment, the Survey, the Lease (except for the third amendment to lease) or the other items delivered to, or reviewed by, Purchaser hereunder since the date of delivery, approval or review, as applicable, of such items, except to reflect those items approved or otherwise created in writing by Purchaser.

 

15


(e) If all or any portion of the Improvements are vacant or are to be vacant as of the Closing, such portion of the Improvements must be in “broom clean” condition with all racking systems and other personal property and equipment designated by Purchaser removed on or before the Closing.

(f) Within five (5) days of the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a form of a lease amendment. If Seller approves the form of the lease amendment, then Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the execution of such lease amendment from the Tenant of the Property. In the event that the lease amendment is not fully executed and delivered to Purchaser within fifteen (15) days of the Effective Date, then Purchaser may terminate this Contract at any time prior to the delivery to Purchaser and, in that event, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and this Contract shall be null and void with no further obligations between the parties except for those obligations which expressly survive termination. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, in the event that Seller does not deliver a lease amendment executed by the Tenant and Seller in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser by the end of the Review Period, then this Contract shall automatically terminate, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and this Contract shall be null and void with no further obligations between the parties except for those obligations which specifically survive termination.

Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to satisfy all of the foregoing conditions precedent. If Seller is unable to satisfy all of the foregoing conditions precedent, Purchaser may waive one or more conditions precedent or terminate this Contract. If Purchaser elects to close, Purchaser will be deemed to have waived any conditions actually known by Purchaser to be unsatisfied at the Closing. If Purchaser elects to terminate due to the failure of a condition precedent set forth in this Section 9.05 or as a result of the Seller’s default or as the result of a casualty or condemnation, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be immediately returned to Purchaser.

Section 11.04 Condemnation. If before the Closing any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are threatened or initiated against all or any portion of the Property and, in the reasonable opinion of Purchaser, such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings would materially interfere with the current use of the Property, then Purchaser may terminate this Contract upon written notice to Seller and Seller and Purchaser shall thereupon be released from any and all further liability hereunder. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Contract within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice of the commencement of any such proceedings, or if, in the reasonable opinion of Purchaser, such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings would not materially interfere with Seller’s current use of the Property, Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all rights and interest of Seller in and to any condemnation awards payable or to become payable on account of such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings.

Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Section to the contrary, Seller shall not be required to produce or provide any information not already in Seller’s possession unless Purchaser reimburses Seller for the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of providing such information. A sample SEC Filings Letter is attached to the Contract as Exhibit J; however, Purchaser’s and/or the Registered Company’s auditors may require additions and/or revisions to such letter following review of the SEC Filing Information provided by Seller.
