referred to herein as the “ Title Objections ”).
If Investor fails to deliver such objection notice by the Update
Objection Deadline, Investor shall be deemed to have waived its
right to object to any Update Exceptions (and the same shall not
constitute Title Objections, but shall instead be deemed Permitted
Encumbrances). If Investor shall deliver such objection notice by
the Update Objection Deadline, any Update Exceptions which are not
objected to in such notice shall not constitute Title Objections,
but shall be Permitted Encumbrances.
(iv) Investor shall not be
entitled to object to, and shall be deemed to have approved, any
liens, encumbrances or other title exceptions (and the same shall
not constitute Title Objections, but shall instead be deemed to be
Permitted Encumbrances) (A) over which the Title Company is
willing to insure (without additional cost to Investor or where
Owner pays such cost for Investor), (B) against which the
Title Company is willing to provide affirmative insurance (without
additional cost to Investor or where Owner pays such cost for
Investor), (C) which will be extinguished upon the transfer of
the Premises, or (D) which are the responsibility of any
tenant under the Leases to cure, correct or remove (collectively,
the “ Non-Objectionable Encumbrances ”).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Owner
is unable to eliminate the Title Objections by the Scheduled
Closing Date, unless the same are waived by Investor without any
abatement in the Investor Contribution, Owner may, from time to
time, upon at least two (2) business days’ prior notice
to Investor (except with respect to matters first disclosed during
such two (2) business day period, as to which matters notice
may be given at any time through and including the Scheduled
Closing Date) adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date, for a period not
to exceed ninety (90) days in the aggregate (the “
Title Cure Period ”), in order to attempt to eliminate
such exceptions.
(b) If Owner is unable to
eliminate any Title Objection within the Title Cure Period which
Owner is not obligated to eliminate pursuant to the provisions of
Section 6(c) below, then, upon notice from Owner that
Owner is unable to eliminate such Title Objection, and unless the
same is waived by Investor, Investor may (i) cause the
Subsidiary Owner to accept the Premises subject to such Title
Objection without abatement of the Investor Contribution, in which
event (x) such Title Objection shall be deemed to be, for all
purposes, a Permitted Encumbrance, (y) Investor shall close
hereunder notwithstanding the existence of same, and (z) Owner
shall have no obligations whatsoever after the Closing Date with
respect to Owner’s failure to cause such Title Objection to
be eliminated, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by notice
given to Owner within ten (10) business days following the
date that Owner gives Investor notice that Owner is unable to
eliminate such Title Objection, time being of the essence. If
Purchaser shall fail to deliver the termination notice described in
clause (ii) above within the ten (10) business
day period described therein, time being of the essence, Purchaser
shall be deemed to have made the election under clause (i)
above. Upon the timely giving of any termination notice under
clause (ii) above, Investor shall be entitled to a
return of the Deposit, this Agreement shall terminate and neither
party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder
with respect thereto other than those which are expressly provided
to survive the termination hereof.
- 17 -
(c) Subject to the terms of
this Section 6 , it is expressly understood that in no
event shall Owner be required to bring any action or institute any
proceeding, or to otherwise incur any costs or expenses in order to
attempt to eliminate any Title Objections, or take any other
actions to cure or remove any Title Objections, or to otherwise
cause title to the Premises to be in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement on the Closing Date. Owner shall be required to
remove, by payment, bonding or otherwise, any Title Objections
which (1) can be satisfied and discharged of record by the
payment of a liquidated sum not in excess of Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000) in the aggregate for all such Title Objections,
(2) are mechanics’ liens or materialmen’s liens
arising from work contracted for by Owner, provided that Owner
shall not be obligated to remove, by payment, bonding or otherwise,
mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens which are the
responsibility of any tenant under a Lease to pay, bond or remove
or (3) otherwise have been voluntarily granted by Owner and
recorded against the Premises on or after May 1, 2008 (other
than (x) Permitted Encumbrances, and (y) any Title
Objection with which Owner has the right to encumber the Property
pursuant to Section 9 ).
(d) If Owner shall have
adjourned the Scheduled Closing Date in order to cure Title
Objections in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6 , Owner shall, upon the satisfactory cure
thereof, promptly reschedule the Scheduled Closing Date, upon at
least seven (7) business days’ prior notice to Investor
(the “ New Closing Notice ”); it being agreed,
however, that if any Title Objections arise between the date the
New Closing Notice is given and the rescheduled Scheduled Closing
Date, Owner may again adjourn the Closing for a reasonable period
or periods, in order to attempt to cause such exceptions to be
eliminated; provided , that Owner shall not be entitled to
adjourn the new Scheduled Closing Date pursuant to this
Section 6 for a period or periods that, when aggregated
with the number of days which Owner has previously adjourned the
Closing in accordance with this Agreement (but excluding
Section 36(b) , it being agreed that any extension by
Owner under Section 36(b) shall be in addition to any
extension(s) under this Section 6(d) ), exceed ninety
(90) days in the aggregate.
(e) If the Existing Title
Report discloses judgments, bankruptcies or other returns against
other persons having names the same as or similar to Owner or that
of any entity making up Owner, on request Owner shall deliver to
the Title Company affidavits showing that such judgments,
bankruptcies or other returns are not against Owner or any such
entity making up Owner in order to induce the Title Company to omit
exceptions with respect to such judgments, bankruptcies or other
returns or to insure over same.
(f) Investor and the Company
agree that the Premises shall be accepted subject to any and all
notes or notices of violations of law, or municipal ordinances,
orders, designations or requirements whatsoever noted in or issued
by any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department,
agency or bureau or any other governmental authority having
jurisdiction over the Premises (collectively, “
Violations ”), or any condition or state of repair or
disrepair or other matter or thing, whether or not noted, which, if
noted, would result in a Violation being placed on the Premises.
Owner shall have no duty to remove or comply with or repair any
condition, matter or thing
- 18 -
whether or not noted, which, if noted,
would result in a Violation being placed on the Premises. Owner
shall have no duty to remove or comply with or repair any of the
aforementioned Violations, or other conditions, and the Subsidiary
Owners shall accept the Premises subject to all such Violations,
the existence of any conditions at the Premises which would give
rise to such Violations, if any, and any governmental claims
arising from the existence of such Violations, in each case without
any abatement of or credit against the Investor Contribution or the
Macklowe Distribution.
(g) If any of the title
companies comprising the Title Company shall be unwilling to remove
any Title Objections which any Owner Designated Title Company would
be willing to remove without additional premium (unless paid by
Owner), then Owner shall have the right to substitute any such
Owner Designated Title Company for any one or more of the title
insurance companies comprising the Title Company (subject to each
such title insurance company’s internal aggregate maximum
risk exposure and otherwise on the same terms and conditions set
forth in each such title insurance company’s standard title
insurance agreement or commitment, as the case may be), provided
that if Investor elects not to use any such Owner Designated Title
Company, such Title Objections which such Owner Designated Title
Company would be willing to remove shall not constitute Title
Objections and shall be deemed Permitted Encumbrances. “
Owner Designated Title Company ” shall mean any of the

Insurance Company, Stewart Title Insurance Company, Commonwealth
Title Insurance Company, Lawyers Title Insurance Company,
LandAmerica Title Insurance Company (either directly or through an
authorized agent).

evidence as to the quantity of fuel on hand and the current cost
therefor);

shall be adjusted and prorated on an if, as and when collected
basis. Base Rents collected by the Company (or the Subsidiary
Owner) or Owner after the Closing Date from tenants who owe Base
Rents for periods prior to the Closing Date, shall be applied,
(A) first to all rents due and payable by the tenant in
question for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, then
(B) to all rents due and payable by such tenant for the
calendar months following the month in which the Closing occurs,
then (C) to all delinquent rents due and payable by such
tenant for the calendar months preceding the calendar month in
which the Closing occurs. Each such amount, less reasonable
collection costs, shall be adjusted and prorated as provided above,
and the party receiving such amount shall, within five
(5) business days, pay to the other party the portion thereof
to which it is so entitled.
(ii) The Company, after the
Closing, shall cause the Subsidiary Owner to bill tenants owing
Base Rents for periods prior to the Closing Date, on a monthly
basis and use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such past
due Base Rents; provided , that the Subsidiary Owner shall
have no obligation to commence any actions or proceedings to
collect any such past due Base Rents or terminate any Lease.
Investor shall provide or cause to be provided to Owner monthly
reports setting forth the status of such collection efforts. In
addition to the foregoing, Owner may take all steps it deems
appropriate, including litigation, to collect Base Rents delinquent
as of the Closing Date which are still uncollected; provided
, that Owner may not cause any Lease to be terminated. Any such
amounts that Owner collects after the Closing shall be applied by
Owner as provided in Section 7(b)(i) hereof.
- 20 -
(iii) With respect to any
Lease that provides for the payment of additional or escalation
rent based upon (A) a percentage of a tenant’s gross
sales during a specified annual or other period or
(B) increases in real estate taxes, operating expenses, labor
costs, cost of living indices or porter’s wages
(collectively, “ Overage Rent ”), such Overage
Rent shall be adjusted and prorated on an if, as and when collected
basis as set forth below.
(iv) The Company, after the
Closing, shall cause the Subsidiary Owner to (A) promptly
render bills for any Overage Rent payable for any accounting period
that expired prior to the Closing Date or an accounting period in
which the Closing Date occurs, but which is to be paid after the
Closing Date or an accounting period in which the Closing Date
occurs; (B) bill tenants for such Overage Rent attributable to
an accounting period that expired prior to the Closing Date, on a
monthly basis; and (C) use commercially reasonable efforts in
the collection of such Overage Rent; provided , that the
Subsidiary Owner shall have no obligation to commence any actions
or proceedings to collect any such Overage Rents or terminate any
Lease. In addition to the foregoing, Owner shall have the right to
pursue tenants to collect such delinquencies (including, without
limitation, the prosecution of one or more lawsuits) which, if
collected, shall be applied as provided herein; provided ,
that Owner may not cause any Lease to be terminated. Owner shall
furnish to the Company all information relating to the period prior
to the Closing Date necessary for the billing of such Overage Rent,
and the Company shall to deliver to Owner, concurrently with
delivery to tenants, copies of all statements relating to Overage
Rent for any period prior to the Closing Date. The Company, after
the Closing, shall cause the Subsidiary Owner to bill tenants for
Overage Rents for accounting periods prior to the Closing Date and
accounting periods in which the Closing Date occurs in accordance
with and on the basis of such information furnished by
Owner.
(v) Subject to the terms of
this Section 7(b)(v) , Overage Rent payable for the
accounting period in which the Closing Date occurs shall be
apportioned between Owner and the Company based upon the ratio that
the number of days in such accounting period prior to the Closing
Date bears to the number of days in the entire such accounting
period. If, prior to the Closing Date, Owner receives any
installments of Overage Rent attributable to Overage Rent for
periods from and after the Closing Date, such sums (less reasonable
collection costs) shall be apportioned on the Closing Date. If the
Company or the Subsidiary Owner receives any installments of
Overage Rent attributable to Overage Rent for an accounting period
ending prior to the Closing Date or Owner’s proportionate
share of Overage Rent attributable to an accounting period in which
the Closing Date occurs, such sums (less reasonable collection
costs actually incurred by the Company or the Subsidiary Owner
shall be paid to Owner within five (5) business days after the
Company or the Subsidiary Owner receives payment thereof. If, after
the Closing Date, Owner receives any installments of Overage Rent
attributable to Overage Rent for the Company’s proportionate
share of Overage Rent attributable to an accounting period in which
the Closing Date occurs, or
- 21 -
an accounting period commencing on or
after the Closing Date, such sums (less reasonable collection costs
actually incurred by Owner) shall be paid to the Company within
five (5) business days after Owner receives payment
thereof.
(vi) Any payment by tenants
of Overage Rent shall be applied to Overage Rents then due and
payable in the following order of priority: (A) first, in
payment of Overage Rents by the applicable tenant for the
accounting period in which the Closing Date occurs (subject to
apportionment pursuant to this Section 7 );
(B) second, in payment of Overage Rents by such tenant for the
period preceding the accounting period in which the Closing Date
occurs; and (C) third, in payment of Overage Rents by such
tenant for the accounting period following the one in which the
Closing Date occurs.
(vii) To the extent any
portion of Overage Rent is required to be paid monthly or in other
periodic installments by tenants on account of estimated amounts
for the current period, and at the end of each calendar year (or,
if applicable, at the end of each lease year or tax year or any
other applicable accounting period), such estimated amounts are to
be recalculated based upon the actual expenses, taxes and other
relevant factors for that calendar (lease or tax) year, with the
appropriate adjustments being made with such tenants, then such
portion of the Overage Rent shall be prorated between Owner and the
Company on the Closing Date based on such estimated payments (i.e.,
with (x) Owner entitled to retain all monthly installments of
such amounts with respect to periods prior to the calendar month in
which the Closing Date occurs, to the extent such amounts are as of
the Closing Date estimated to equal the amounts ultimately due to
Owner for such periods, (y) the Company entitled to receive
all monthly installments of such amounts with respect to periods
following the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs, and
(z) Owner and the Company apportioning all monthly
installments of such amounts with respect to the calendar month in
which the Closing Date occurs). At the time(s) of final calculation
and collection from (or refund to) tenants of the amounts in
reconciliation of actual Overage Rent for a period for which
estimated amounts have been prorated, there shall be a re-proration
between Owner and the Company, with the net credit resulting from
such re-proration, after accounting for amounts required to be
refunded to tenants, being payable to the appropriate party (i.e.,
to Owner if the recalculated amounts exceed the estimated amounts
and to the Company if the recalculated amounts are less than the
estimated amounts). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties
acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of this
Section 7(b)(vii) , the accounting period for the
reconciliation of percentage rent based on sales under that certain
Agreement of Lease between Apple Computer, Inc. and Owner, dated
November 15, 2005, shall be deemed the period commencing on
September 30 and ending on September 29 of the following
year.
(viii) To the extent that any
amounts are paid or payable to Owner by a tenant under a Lease in
advance of the period to which such expense applies, whether as a
one time payment or in installments (e.g., for real property tax
escalations), such amounts shall be apportioned as provided above
but based upon the period for which such payments were or are being
made.
- 22 -
(ix) To the extent tenants
pay items of Rent which are not Base Rents or Overage Rents, such
as charges for electricity, steam, water, cleaning, overtime
services, sundry charges or other charges of a similar nature
(collectively, “ Additional Rent ”), such rent
shall be applied based on the period covered by such Additional
Rent charge (i.e., the period the applicable work, utility or
service was provided). If (x) Owner or the Company (or the
Subsidiary Owner, as applicable) receives a payment from a tenant
for Additional Rent, and (y) such tenant does not specify the
time period or the particular charge to which such payment relates,
then the Additional Rent shall be applied in the following order of
priority: (A) first, for the period in which the Closing Date
occurred (subject to apportionment pursuant to this
Section 7 ); (B) second, for the period or periods
preceding the period in which the Closing Date occurred; and
(C) third, for the most recent period or periods after the
Closing Date such work, utility or service was provided. In the
case of any Additional Rent payable for a period that expired prior
to the Closing Date, but which is to be paid after the Closing
Date, the Company shall pay the entire amount thereof to Owner
within five (5) business days after receipt thereof, less any
reasonable collection costs actually incurred. The Company, after
the Closing, shall cause the Subsidiary Owner to (A) promptly
render bills for any Additional Rent payable for any period that
expired prior to the Closing Date, but which is to be paid after
the Closing Date; (B) bill tenants for such Additional Rent
attributable to a period that expired prior to the Closing Date, on
a monthly basis, and (C) use commercially reasonable efforts
in the collection of such Additional Rent; provided , that
the Subsidiary Owner shall have no obligation to commence any
actions or proceedings to collect any such Additional Rent or
terminate any Lease. In addition to the foregoing, Owner shall have
the right to pursue tenants to collect such delinquencies due for
the period prior to the Closing Date (including, without
limitation, the prosecution of one or more lawsuits) which, if
collected, shall be applied as provided herein; provided, that
Owner may not cause any Lease to be terminated. Owner shall furnish
to the Company all information relating to the period prior to the
Closing Date necessary for the billing of such Additional Rent, and
the Company shall cause the Subsidiary Owner to deliver to Owner,
concurrently with delivery to tenants, copies of all statements
relating to Additional Rent for any period prior to the Closing
Date. The Company shall cause the Subsidiary Owner to bill tenants
for Additional Rent relating to periods prior to the Closing Date
in accordance with and on the basis of such information furnished
by Owner. Additional Rent payable for the period in which the
Closing Date occurs shall be apportioned between Owner and the
Company based upon the same method used to apportion the underlying
expense being billed to such tenant, or if such expense is not
being apportioned, then based upon the ratio that the portion of
such accounting period prior to the Closing Date bears to the
entire such accounting period.
(x) To the extent any payment
received from a tenant after Closing does not indicate whether the
payment is for an item of Base Rent, Overage Rent or Additional
Rent, and the same cannot be clearly determined from the context of
such payment, then such payment will be applied (x)
first , to payment of any Base Rent then due or delinquent,
in accordance with Sections7(b)(i) and 7(b)(ii)
above, (y) second , to payment of any Additional Rent
then due or delinquent, in accordance with
Section 7(b)(ix) above and (z) third to
any Overage Rent then due or delinquent, in accordance with
Sections 7 (b)(iii) - 7(b)(viii) above.
- 23 -
(c) Property Taxes shall be
apportioned on the basis of the fiscal period for which assessed.
If the Closing Date shall occur before an assessment is made or a
tax rate is fixed for the tax period in which the Closing Date
occurs, the apportionment of such Property Taxes based thereon
shall be made at the Closing Date by applying the tax rate for the
preceding year to the latest assessed valuation, but, promptly
after the assessment and/or tax rate for the current year are
fixed, the apportionment thereof shall be recalculated and Owner or
the Company shall make an appropriate payment to the other within
five (5) business days based on such recalculation. If as of
the Closing Date the Premises or any portion thereof shall be
affected by any special or general assessments which are or may
become payable in installments of which the first installment is
then a lien and has become payable, Owner shall pay the unpaid
installments of such assessments which are due prior to the Closing
Date and the Company shall pay the installments which are due on or
after the Closing Date.
(d) If there are water meters
at the Premises, the unfixed water rates and charges and sewer
rents and taxes covered by meters, if any, shall be apportioned
(i) on the basis of an actual reading done within thirty
(30) days prior to the Apportionment Date, or (ii) if
such reading has not been made, on the basis of the last available
reading. If the apportionment is not based on an actual current
reading, then upon the taking of a subsequent actual reading, the
parties shall, within ten (10) business days following notice
of the determination of such actual reading, readjust such
apportionment and Owner shall deliver to the Company or the Company
shall deliver to Owner, as the case may be, the amount determined
to be due upon such readjustment.
(e) Charges for all
electricity, steam, gas and other utility services (collectively,
“ Utilities ”) shall be billed to Owner’s
account up to the Apportionment Date and, from and after the
Apportionment Date, all Utilities shall be billed to the
Company’s account. If for any reason such changeover in
billing is not practicable as of the Closing Date as to any
Utility, such Utility shall be apportioned on the basis of actual
current readings or, if such readings have not been made, on the
basis of the most recent bills that are available. If any
apportionment is not based on an actual current reading, then upon
the taking of a subsequent actual reading, the parties shall,
within ten (10) business days following notice of the
determination of such actual reading, readjust such apportionment
and Owner shall promptly deliver to the Company, or the Company
shall promptly deliver to Owner, as the case may be, the amount
determined to be due upon such adjustment.
(f) At the Closing, Owner
shall receive a credit for the cost to Owner of all cleaning and
other supplies that constitute Personalty and are in unopened
cartons or packages located at the Premises based on invoices
therefor.
(g) The Company shall have no
right to receive any rental insurance proceeds in respect of the
Premises which relate to the period prior to the Closing Date and,
if any such proceeds are delivered to the Company, the Company
shall, within five (5) business days following receipt
thereof, pay the same to Owner. Owner shall have no right to
receive any rental insurance proceeds which relate to the period
on
- 24 -
or after the Closing Date and, if any
such proceeds are delivered to Owner, Owner shall, within five
(5) business days following receipt thereof, pay the same to
the Company. If a fire or other casualty occurs at the Premises
prior to the Closing, then, after the Closing, Owner shall
cooperate with the Company in making a claim against Owner’s
insurer for tenant rent abatement proceeds that are payable with
respect to the period after the Closing (it being understood that
the Company (or the Subsidiary Owner) shall receive any and all of
the rental insurance proceeds from such claim for rental insurance
proceeds for the period after the Closing). Owner, effective as of
the date hereof, shall have the Subsidiary Owner named as an
additional insured (as its interests may appear) on Owner’s
rental insurance policy to facilitate the payment of any claims by
Owner’s rent insurer directly to the Company (or the
Subsidiary Owner) for a loss which extends beyond the Closing (and
Owner, during the period from the date hereof to the Closing Date,
shall not change or otherwise reverse the Company’s (or the
Subsidiary Owner’s) being so named as an additional insured
on such policy).
(h) (i) Subject to the terms
of this Section 7(h)(i) , if the Closing occurs, then
the Company shall be responsible for the payment of all Future
Commissions. For purposes hereof, the term “ Future
Commissions ” shall mean, (1) the leasing
commissions set forth on Schedule 7(h) , (2) any
leasing commissions which may become due and payable (whether
before or after the Closing Date) pursuant to the Brokerage

connection with any Pending Lease Transaction). If, as of the
Closing Date, Owner shall have paid any leasing commissions for
which the Company is responsible pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, the Company shall reimburse Owner therefor at Closing;
provided , that Owner shall supply invoices and statements
for all such leasing commissions to the Company prior to the
Closing Date. If, as of the Closing Date, there remains payable any

Investor’s obligation to close under this Agreement. Not
later than the first (1 st ) anniversary of the Closing Date, Owner and Investor
and/or their respective agents or designees will meet to jointly
prepare a final closing statement reasonably satisfactory to Owner
and Investor in form and substance (the “ Final Closing
Statement ”) setting forth the final determination of the
adjustments and prorations provided for in this Agreement, setting
forth any items which are not capable of being determined at such
time (and the manner in which such items shall be determined and
paid) and correcting any errors in calculation. The net amount due
Owner or the Company, if any, by reason of adjustments to the
Preliminary Closing Statement as shown on the Final
Closing
- 26 -
Statement, shall be paid in cash by the
party obligated therefor within five (5) business days
following that party’s receipt of the approved Final Closing
Statement. The adjustments, prorations and determinations agreed to
by Owner and Investor in the Final Closing Statement shall be
conclusive and binding on the parties hereto except for any items
which are not capable of being determined at the time the Final
Closing Statement is agreed to by Owner and Investor, which items
shall be determined and paid in the manner set forth herein and
except for other amounts payable hereunder pursuant to provisions
which survive the Closing. Prior to and following the Closing Date,
each party shall provide the other with such information as the
other shall reasonably request (including, without limitation,
access to the books, records, files, ledgers, information and data
with respect to the Property during normal business hours upon
reasonable advance notice) in order to make the preliminary and
final adjustments and prorations provided for herein.
(j) If any payment to be made
after Closing under this Section 7 shall not be paid
when due hereunder, the same shall bear interest (which shall be
paid together with the applicable payment hereunder) from the date
due until so paid at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate (as
such rate may vary from time to time) as reported in The Wall
Street Journal plus 5% (the “ Default Rate
”). To the extent a payment provision in this
Section 7 does not specify a period for payment, then
for purposes hereof such payment shall be due within five
(5) business days of the date such payment obligation is
triggered.
(k) In the event that, based
upon the final adjudication of an audit that is currently being
conducted on the date hereof by any of the tenants set forth on
Schedule 11(c)(ii)-3 with respect to their respective
Leases, such tenant is entitled to a refund of any Overage Rents
payable under its Lease with respect to accounting periods ending
prior to the Closing Date, then Owner shall pay to Investor an
amount equal to such refund within five (5) business days
after Owner receives notice from Investor thereof. Investor shall
pay any such refunds in respect of accounting periods commencing
after such Closing Date. Any such refunds in respect of an
accounting period in which a Closing Date occurs shall be
apportioned between Owner and Investor based upon the ratio that
the number of days in such accounting period prior to such Closing
Date bears to the number of days in the entire such accounting
period. Owner shall pay to Investor the proportional share of any
such refunds which Owner is obligated to pay in respect of the
accounting period in which such Closing Date occurs within five
(5) business days after Owner receives notice from Investor
thereof. Prior to the Closing, Owner shall administer any audits
which may be conducted by any tenant and may settle any audit
claims by any of such tenants without Investor’s consent;
provided , that Owner shall not settle any such audit claims
and shall be required to obtain Investor’s consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)
to any such settlement that (A) is an amendment to the Lease
with respect to the provisions for the payment of Overage Rents
which amendment would be binding on Investor after such Closing,
(B) defers the repayment by Owner under the Lease of any
refund of Overage Rent in a manner such that Investor would be
liable for a greater amount of such refund than would be the case
without such deferral or (C) changes the amount that the
Company (or Subsidiary Owner, as applicable) is required to use as
the base amount for
- 27 -
operating expense escalation charges.
From and after the Closing, Owner and Investor shall mutually
administer any audits which are being conducted by the foregoing
tenants and are pending as of the Closing Date, and Investor shall
not settle any audit claims by any of such tenants in respect of
accounting periods ending prior to such Closing Date or any
accounting period in which such Closing Date occurs, in each case
without Owner’s prior written consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed to the extent
that any such settlement would result in Owner being liable for
making any payment in respect thereof under this
Section 7(k) or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Section 7 or elsewhere
in this Agreement, if any audit of charges for Overage Rent is
commenced by any tenant after the date hereof, Owner shall not be
liable for any monies owed, if any, to such tenant, whether
accruing prior to or after the Closing.
(l) The provisions of this
Section 7 shall survive the Closing.
