(a) A deposit of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($200,000.00) (the “Deposit”) shall be paid by Purchaser to Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, 1700 Market Street, Suite 2110, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, Attention: Celeste Heuberger, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), within five (5) business days after the Effective Date (as defined herein), which at Purchaser’s option may be by certified or bank cashier’s check or by wire transfer.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Effective Date” shall mean the date on which Purchaser and all of the Whitehall Sellers and GMH Sellers have executed this Agreement. The Deposit shall remain applicable to the Purchase Price and shall become non-refundable to Purchaser except as may otherwise be provided in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof.

ARTICLE 3

 

CLOSING

 

3.1                                  Closing .  The parties agree that the closing of the purchase and sale of the Membership Interests (the “Closing”) shall take place on or prior to fifteen (15) days following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, or such sooner date on which the parties may agree (such date, as the same may be changed or extended, being referred to herein as the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall take place through an escrow closing with the Escrow Agent.

 

3.2                                  Apportionments; LLC Allocations .

 

(a)                                   At the Closing, the following items shall be apportioned as of the Closing Date:

 

(i)                                      Real estate taxes and assessments, if any, for the current calendar year; provided, however, that if the amount of such taxes and assessments for such year is not

 

4

 

known at the time of Closing, such apportionment shall be based upon the most current assessment of the Property and the tax rate for the previous calendar year.  The current installment of any general or special assessments levied or assessed for work completed prior to the Closing shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that any prior installments of any general and special assessments due and payable prior to the Closing Date shall be apportioned to Seller and future installments of any general and special assessments due and payable following the Closing Date shall be apportioned to Purchaser;

 

(ii)                                   Fuel, water, sewer use and other municipal utility charges;

 

(iii)                                All rents collected from tenants under the Leases for the month in which the Closing occurs and other income shall be prorated as of the Closing Date in accordance with the terms hereof, and Seller shall retain all rights to rents allocable to periods prior to the Closing Date. With respect to such rents for the month in which Closing occurs which are actually collected by the LLC prior to Closing, the LLC shall pay to Purchaser, by deduction of the amount due on Purchaser’s closing statement, the amount of any rents actually collected by the LLC from tenants under the Leases relative to the period from and after the Closing Date.  Rents received by the LLC after the Closing Date shall be applied by the LLC first to current rents and/or uncollected rents due for the period after the Closing Date, then to pay reasonable costs of collection incurred by the LLC, then to Seller, to the extent of any uncollected rents for the period prior to the Closing Date (the “Delinquent Rents”), then to Purchaser, for future rents due or to become due under the Leases. The LLC shall use reasonable efforts after Closing to collect such Delinquent Rents, but nothing herein shall obligate or require

 

5

 

the LLC to institute a lawsuit, evict any tenant, exercise any lease remedies, or otherwise incur any costs or expenses to recover such amounts;

 

(iv)                               Purchaser shall receive a credit to the Purchase Price equal to the amount of (A) that portion of any prepaid rents applicable to the time period after the Closing actually received by the Partnership, (B) security deposits and other deposits paid by the tenants under any of the Leases not applied by the LLC prior to Closing; and (C) all interest unpaid and owing thereon or required by law to be paid to tenants, if any; and

 

(v)                                  Amounts owing, prepaid or received by the LLC prior to Closing on all Contracts.

 

Purchaser, at its sole option, shall have the exclusive right to file and prosecute an application for a real estate tax abatement or reduction or any litigation against the applicable taxing authorities relating to any taxes assessed against the Property.  The GMH Sellers agree to fully cooperate with Purchaser, at no cost or expense to the GMH Sellers, with respect to any such application and/or litigation and further authorize Purchaser to endorse and cash any tax abatement or reduction check which Purchaser receives or which is issued to Purchaser and, for such purposes, the GMH Sellers grant to Purchaser an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest.  The amount of any abatement or reduction actually obtained, after adjustment of the legal fees, consultant fees and related costs incurred in obtaining the abatement or reduction, shall be apportioned between the parties.

 

In the event any apportionments pursuant to this Agreement or, subsequent to Closing, are found to be erroneous, then either party hereto who is entitled to additional monies shall invoice the other party for such additional amounts as may be owing, with any substantiation reasonably requested by the other party, and such amount shall be paid within twenty (20) days

 

6

 

from receipt of the invoice and verification of the same. This obligation shall survive the Closing until the date of the Final True-Up (as hereinafter defined).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if current real estate taxes and assessments, if any, for the current fiscal tax period cannot be determined at Closing, then such taxes and assessments shall be adjusted when the actual amount(s) of such taxes and assessments are known (not later than the date of the Final True-Up).

 

Except for liabilities and expenses prorated and/or expressly assumed in this Agreement, and/or the Closing Documents, the LLC shall remain obligated for any and all liabilities and expenses related to the ownership and operation of the Property accruing prior to the Closing Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Escrow Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and Purchaser shall be liable for any and all liabilities and expenses related to the ownership and operation of the Property accruing from and after the Closing Date.

 

(b)                                  All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for calendar year 2005 in respect of the Membership Interests shall be allocated between the Whitehall Sellers and GMH Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, using the closing of the books method, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the LLC Agreement, except that the Whitehall Sellers and GMH Sellers agree to deposit the sum of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) of the Purchase Price into escrow with the Title Company (the “Reserve”) under a mutually satisfactory escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”), which Reserve shall either be disbursed to Purchaser, or shall be augmented by Purchaser, in accordance with the calculation of the Final True-Up which shall take place no later than 180 days after the Closing Date, at which time the balance of the Reserve in the escrow account shall be disbursed to the Whitehall Sellers and GMH Sellers in accordance with their Percentage Interests. The provisions

 

7

 

of this paragraph shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Assignment and Assumption (as hereinafter defined).  This Section shall survive Closing for a period of 180 days.  Prior to that date which is 180 days after the Closing, the parties hereto shall conduct a final accounting of all apportionments and adjustments provided for herein (the “Final True-Up”).

 

3.3                                  Seller’s Deliveries .  At the Closing, each of the Whitehall Sellers and GMH Sellers shall deliver, as a several but not joint and several obligation, the following to Purchaser (each referred to hereinafter as a “Closing Document”):

 

(a)                                   an agreement of assignment and assumption of the Membership Interests in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B” (the “Assignment and Assumption”);

 

(b)                                  a FIRPTA Affidavit; and

 

(c)                                   copies of organizational documents and other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Escrow Agent of the capacity and authority of the persons signing, on behalf of each of the Whitehall Sellers and GMH Sellers, this Agreement and all documents delivered pursuant hereto and for the closing of this transaction.

 

3.4                                  Purchaser’s Deliveries and Closing Conditions .  At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to the Whitehall Sellers and GMH Sellers (a) copies of organizational documents and other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Whitehall Sellers and GMH Sellers and the Escrow Agent of the capacity and authority of the persons signing this Agreement on behalf of Purchaser and all documents delivered hereto, (b) the balance of the Purchase Price, as adjusted, and (c) all other executed documents and instruments reasonably necessary to close this transaction or otherwise required by this Agreement. Purchaser’s obligations hereunder are subject to (i) the representations and warranties of each of the Whitehall Sellers and the GMH Sellers set forth in

 

8

 

Section 7.2 hereof being true and correct as of the Closing Date and (ii) the receipt by Purchaser, at the Closing, of a bringdown or endorsement to the existing ALTA Extended Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) issued by the Escrow Agent, dated as of the Closing Date.  Purchaser’s obligations hereunder are also subject to the assignment of the Membership Interests, which Membership Interests shall be assigned by the Whitehall Sellers and GMH Sellers to Purchaser “as is”; provided, however, that the Membership Interests shall be assigned free and clear of any liens, claims, pledges and encumbrances.  The Whitehall Sellers and GMH Sellers shall not, as a several and not a joint and several obligation, encumber the Membership Interests without Purchaser’s prior written consent.

 

3.5                                  Closing .  Except to the extent provided herein, each party shall pay its own costs and attorney’s fees associated with this transaction. Any transfer, conveyance, documentary and intangible fees and taxes due in connection with the assignment of the Membership Interests to Purchaser shall be split equally by Purchaser and the Partnership.  Purchaser shall pay for the costs of the title search and the premium for issuance of the owner’s and lender’s Title Policy and any endorsements thereto. Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the payment of all costs and fees associated with any and all updates to the Existing Survey (as hereinafter defined) and any and all costs and fees incurred by Purchaser in the performance of its due diligence investigation and studies of the Property.  The reasonable escrow fees of the Escrow Agent, if any, shall be paid one-half by the LLC and one-half by Purchaser.
