| |
(a) |
Prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have
the right to object in writing to any title matters that appear on
the Title Commitment or Survey. In addition, after expiration of
the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to object in
writing to any title matters that (i) are not Permitted Exceptions,
and (ii) materially adversely affect Buyer’s title to, or
Buyer’s ability to use as intended by Buyer, the Real
Property, and (iii) first appear on any supplemental title reports
or updates to the Title Commitment issued after expiration of the
Due Diligence Period, so long as such objection is made by Buyer
within five (5) business days after Buyer becomes aware of the same
(but in any event prior to the Closing Date). Unless Buyer is
entitled to and does timely object to any such title matters, all
such title matters shall be deemed to constitute additional
Permitted Exceptions. Any exceptions which are timely objected to
by Buyer shall be herein collectively called the “ Title
Objections .” |
| |
(b) |
If this Agreement is not terminated by Buyer in accordance with
the provisions hereof, Seller shall, at Closing, remove or cause to
be removed any Title Objections to the extent (and only to the
extent) that (i) such Title Objections have not been caused by
Buyer or any Buyer, Representatives, and (ii) such Title
Objections are either (A) liens evidencing monetary encumbrances
(other than liens for non-delinquent general real estate taxes), or
(B) liens created or suffered to exist by Seller or its agents and
affiliates but only to the extent such liens are created after the
date of this Agreement in violation of Section 4.2.3
(collectively, the “ Required Exceptions ”). In
addition, Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to remove,
or cause to be removed at its expense, any other Title Objections,
as provided in Section 4.2.2 . |
| |
(c) |
To the extent that the same do not constitute Required
Exceptions, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within ten (10)
days after receipt of Buyer’s notice of Title Objections (but
in any event, prior to the Closing Date) whether Seller elects to
remove the same. If Seller elects not to remove one or more of such
Title Objections, then within five (5) days after Seller’s
election (but in any event, prior to the Closing Date), Buyer may
elect in writing to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in
which event the Deposit shall be paid to Buyer, and thereafter, the
parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder
except for obligations that |
12
| |
|
expresslysurvive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii)
waive such Title Objections, in which event the Closing shall occur
as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the
Purchase Price. Any such Title Objection so waived (or deemed
waived) by Buyer shall be deemed to constitute an additional
Permitted Exception, and the Closing shall occur as herein provided
without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase
Price. |
| |
(d) |
If Seller is unable, after using good faith, commercially
reasonably efforts, to remove any Required Exceptions or other
Title Objections that it has previously elected to remove prior to
the Closing, Buyer may at Closing elect either to (a) terminate

and thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or
obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly
survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive such Title
Objections, in which event the Closing shall occur as herein
provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase
Price (except that if Buyer uses its own funds to cure any Title
Exceptions consisting of monetary liens, Buyer shall be entitled to
a corresponding credit against the Purchase Price). Seller shall be
entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed
ninety (90) days) for the purpose of the removal of any Required
Exceptions or other Title Objections, which removal will be deemed
effected, but only if specifically agreed to in writing by Buyer,

Discharge of Title Objections . If on the Closing Date
there are any Required Exceptions or any other Title Objections
which Seller has elected to pay and discharge, Seller may use any
portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same, provided Seller
shall either (a) deliver to Buyer at the Closing
instruments in recordable form and sufficient to cause such Title
Objections to be released of record, together with the cost of
recording or filing such instruments, or (b) if specifically
agreed to in writing by Buyer, cause the Title Company to insure
over the same, without any additional cost to Buyer, whether such
insurance is made available in consideration of payment, bonding,
indemnity of Seller or otherwise, provided that any such insurance
over any matter other than a monetary lien shall be subject to
Buyer’s written approval. |
| |
4.2.3 |
No New Exceptions . From and after the Effective Date,
Seller shall not execute any deed, easement, restriction, covenant
or other matter affecting title to the Property unless Buyer has
received a copy thereof and has approved the same in writing. If
Buyer fails to object in writing to any such proposed instrument
within five (5) business days after receipt of such instrument,
Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the proposed instrument.
Buyer shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its
approval with respect to any such instrument. |

| 4.3 |
Title Insurance . At Closing, the Title Company shall
issue to Buyer the Owner’s Policy (with all endorsements
requested by Buyer, such endorsements at Buyer’s cost)
insuring that title to the Real Property is vested in Buyer,
subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. Buyer shall be entitled
to request that the Title Company provide such endorsements (or
amendments) to the Owner’s Title Policy as Buyer may
reasonably require, provided that the Closing shall not be delayed
as a result of Buyer’s request for endorsements. |

month of Closing based on the actual number of calendar days in
such month between Seller and Buyer as of |
17
| |
|
12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to all
rents attributable to the period up to but not including the
Closing Date. Buyer shall be entitled to all rents attributable to
any period on and after the Closing Date. Rents not collected as of
the Closing Date shall not be prorated at the time of Closing.
After Closing, Buyer shall make a good faith effort for a period
not less than ninety (90) days to collect any rents not collected
as of the Closing Date on Seller’s behalf and to tender the
same to Seller upon receipt (which obligation of Buyer shall
survive the Closing and not be merged therein); provided ,
however , that all rents collected by Buyer on or after the
Closing date shall first be applied to all amounts due under the
Leases at the time of collection ( i.e. , current rents and
sums due Buyer as the current owner and landlord) with the balance
(if any) payable to Seller, but only to the extent of amounts
delinquent and actually due Seller (and prorated between Seller and
Buyer based upon the Closing Date as previously calculated for
collected rents). Seller agrees that the invoicing of delinquent
tenants on a monthly basis shall constitute a good faith effort and
Buyer shall not be obligated to enforce its rights under the
Leases, or threaten such enforcement, or to bring any proceedings
in a court of law or equity. Buyer shall not have an exclusive
right to collect the sums due Seller under the Leases, and Seller
hereby retains its rights to pursue any tenant under the Leases for
sums due Seller for periods attributable to Seller’s
ownership of the Property; provided , however , that
Seller (i) shall be required to notify Buyer in writing of its
intention to commence or pursue such legal proceedings;
(ii) shall only be permitted to commence or pursue any legal
proceedings after the date which is three (3) months after Closing
and shall commence such proceeding, if at all, prior to the 1
st anniversary of the Closing Date; and (iii) shall
not be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings
against any tenant seeking eviction of such tenant or the
termination of the underlying lease. The terms of the immediately
preceding sentence shall survive the Closing and not be merged
therein. |
| |
6.1.2 |
Other Revenues . Revenues from Property operations
(other than Rents (which shall be prorated as provided in
Subsection 6.1.1 ), including, but not limited to, pet
rents, garage rentals and laundry rentals (if any) that are
actually collected shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of
12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to all
such revenues attributable to any period up to, but not including
the Closing Date, and Buyer shall be entitled to all such revenues
attributable to any period on and after the Closing Date. After
Closing, Buyer shall make a good faith effort for a period not less
than six (6) months to collect any such revenues not collected as
of the Closing Date on Seller’s behalf and to tender the same
to Seller upon receipt (which obligation of Buyer shall survive the
Closing and not be merged therein); provided ,
however , that all such other revenues collected by Buyer on
or after the Closing Date shall first be applied to all amounts
that may be due from such payor to Buyer at the time of collection
with the balance (if any) payable to Seller, but only to the extent
of amounts delinquent and actually due to Seller. Seller agrees
that the invoicing of delinquent payors on a monthly basis shall
constitute a good faith effort and Buyer shall not be obligated to
enforce its rights under the agreements pursuant to |
18
| |
|
which such revenues are due, or threaten such enforcement, or
to bring any proceedings in a court of law or in equity. Buyer
shall not have an exclusive right to collect such revenues, and

Property; provided , however , that Seller (i) shall
be required to notify Buyer in writing of its intention to commence
or pursue such legal proceedings; (ii) shall only be permitted to
commence or pursue any legal proceedings after the date which is
three (3) months after Closing and shall commence such proceeding,
if at all, prior to the 1 st anniversary of the Closing
Date; and (iii) to the extent any such delinquent payor is a tenant
at the Property, shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any
legal proceedings against such tenant seeking eviction of such
tenant or the termination of the underlying lease. The terms of the
immediately preceding sentence shall survive the Closing and not be
merged therein. |

Security Deposits . Seller shall credit Buyer, at
Closing, with an amount equal to all unapplied Security
Deposits(including any pet deposits), whether collected or
uncollected, by Seller under Leases. |

| |
6.2.1 |
Proration of Ad Valorem Taxes . Buyer and Seller
shall only prorate ad valorem real estate and personal
property taxes for the Property that are assessed for the Tax Year
