“ Seller Closing Certificate
”).
4. Title and Title
Insurance .
4.1. Title
Report . As soon as reasonably possible following
the Opening Date, Escrow Agent shall deliver a current Commitment
for Title Insurance or a Preliminary Title Report (the “
Title Report ”) on the Property from the Title
Insurer to Purchaser and Seller. The Title Report shall
show the status of title to the Property as of the date of the
Title Report and shall be accompanied by legible copies of all
documents referred to in the Title Report.
4.2. Title Review
Period . Purchaser shall have ten (10) business days
after Purchaser’s receipt of the Title Report (the “
Title Review Period ”) to review the Title
Report and to give Seller and Escrow Agent notice of any title
exception which is unacceptable to Purchaser (the “
Title Disapproval Notice
”). Purchaser shall have an additional five (5)
days after receipt of any amended Title Report and any underlying
documents relating to such amendment to give Seller and Escrow
Agent a Title Disapproval Notice with respect to any title
exception not previously listed which is unacceptable to
Purchaser. If Purchaser timely gives a Title Disapproval
Notice as to any exception to title, Seller may, but shall not be
required to, attempt to eliminate the disapproved exception from
the Title Report prior to the Closing Date. If Seller
fails to notify Purchaser within five (5) days after receipt of a
Title Disapproval Notice that Seller has elected to eliminate the
disapproved exception(s) from the Title Report or amended Title
Report prior to the Closing, such failure shall be deemed
Seller’s election not to eliminate the disapproved
exception(s). If Seller notified Purchaser in writing of
its election not to eliminate a disapproved exceptions(s) from the
Title Report or amended Title Report, or is deemed to have elected
not to eliminate a disapproved exception(s), Purchaser shall have
until the earlier of the Closing or five (5) days after receipt of
such notice (or, if applicable, five (5) days after the date on
which Seller is deemed to have elected not to eliminate a
disapproved exception(s)) to either terminate this Agreement or to
agree to close this transaction subject to such previously
disapproved exception(s). Purchaser's failure to timely
give any such notice shall be deemed Purchaser's election to close
this transaction subject to such previously disapproved
exception(s). If Seller attempts to eliminate a
disapproved exception from the Title Report, but Seller is
unsuccessful in eliminating the disapproved exception from the
Title Report prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser's sole and
exclusive remedies shall be to either terminate this Agreement by
giving Seller and Escrow Agent written notice of termination, or to
agree in writing to close this transaction subject to such
exception.
4.3. Approval or
Disapproval of Status of Title . Purchaser's failure
to timely disapprove any title exception shall be deemed
Purchaser's approval of such title exception. Upon any
termination in accordance with this Article, Escrow Agent shall
return the Deposit and all interest earned thereon to Purchaser,
and this Agreement and the escrow shall terminate as provided for
in Section 6.3 .
4.4. Owner's Title
Policy . The Title Insurer shall issue to Purchaser
a standard coverage owner's policy of title insurance (the “
Owner's Title Policy ”) at the Closing or as
soon thereafter as is reasonably possible. The Owner's
Title Policy shall be issued by the Title Insurer in the full
amount of the Purchase Price, be effective as of the Closing Date,
and shall insure Purchaser that fee simple title to the Property is
vested in Purchaser, subject only to: (i) the usual printed
exceptions and exclusions contained in such title insurance
policies; (ii) the exceptions to title approved (or deemed
approved) by Purchaser as provided for in Sections 4.2 and
4.3 of this Agreement; and (iii) any other matter approved
in writing by Purchaser or resulting from the acts of Purchaser or
Purchaser's agents. Should Purchaser desire to obtain an
ALTA extended coverage owner's policy of title insurance, Purchaser
shall be responsible for obtaining and paying for any necessary
survey or updated survey (subject, however, to Seller’s
reimbursement obligation set forth below in this Section
4.4 ) and that portion of the cost for such policy which
exceeds the cost of a standard coverage policy. In no
event, however, shall such extend the Closing
Date. Seller shall have no obligation to obtain for
Purchaser any title insurance endorsements, and any such
endorsements desired by Purchaser shall be requested by Purchaser
of the Title Insurer during the Title Review Period and included
within the Title Disapproval Notice. Any such
endorsements issued by the Title Insurer shall be at Purchaser's
sole cost and expense. At and conditioned on the
Closing, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for the cost of any
necessary survey or updated survey, not to exceed Three Thousand
Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($3,500.00).
5.1. Property Review
Period . For a period of time beginning upon the
Property Documents Delivery Date, as that term is defined in
Section 5.4 , and ending at 5:00 p.m., Arizona time,
on the date sixty (60) days thereafter (the “ Property
Review Period ”), Purchaser shall have the right to
enter upon the Property with Purchaser's representatives and agents
for the purpose of testing, examining and investigating the
physical condition of the Property. Subject to the
rights of tenants under Leases, Purchaser, its representatives and
agents shall have the right during the Property Review Period to
conduct soils, hydrology, architectural, engineering,
environmental, and all other testing, examinations and
investigations it deems necessary to assess the physical condition
of the Property and to determine the feasibility of the Property
for Purchaser's purposes (collectively, the “
Inspections ”). Purchaser shall have
the right during the Property Review Period to terminate this
Agreement if Purchaser is dissatisfied, in Purchaser's sole and
absolute discretion, with the physical condition of the Property,
with the results of the testing, examinations and investigations it
may conduct or for any other reason affecting the feasibility of
the Property for Purchaser's purposes. Prior to
Purchaser or its agents conducting any testing or investigation
involving physical disturbance of any portion of the Property,
Purchaser shall obtain Seller's written consent thereto, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld. In applying for
such
consent,
Purchaser shall provide Seller with reasonable monetary assurances
in the form of a bond, insurance policy or otherwise, that any
damage caused to the Property by such testing or investigation will
be immediately remediated at no cost to Seller. The
provision of such assurances shall not, however, in any way affect
Purchaser's obligations under Section 5.3
. Further notwithstanding the foregoing, before entering
upon the Property to conduct any Inspection and before having any
meeting or discussion with any tenant of the Property (whether in
person or by telephone), Purchaser will first provide Seller at
least 48-hours advance notice thereof so that a representative of
Seller can also be present during any such Inspection, meeting or
discussion. Purchaser shall not have the right to
correspond directly with any tenant of the Property, except with
the Seller's prior written consent, which may be withheld in
Seller's reasonable discretion. In the event Purchaser
does not proceed to Closing, Purchaser agrees to cause each
Inspection report or study of the Property which is obtained from a
third party to be addressed to and certified (if customarily
certified) to Seller as well as to Purchaser and to be delivered to
Seller. Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for the cost,
if any, to have any Inspection report or study addressed to and
certified (if customarily certified) to Seller; but otherwise,
Purchaser shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred
in obtaining any Inspection report or study, except as expressly
provided in Section 11.2 in connection with a default
by Seller.
5.1.1. Purchaser
shall have a one time right to extend the Property Review Period
for thirty (30) days by giving Seller and Escrow Agent written
notice of its election not less than ten (10) days prior to the
expiration of the initial Property Review Period and by depositing
with Escrow Agent Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) in
immediately available funds (the “ Extension
Deposit ”). The Extension Deposit shall be
held, applied, and treated in all respects in the same manner as is
the Deposit. All references in this Agreement to the
Deposit shall include the Extension Deposit, to the extent
paid. Upon payment of the Extension Deposit, the
Extension Deposit and the initial Deposit shall be
nonrefundable to Purchaser except as expressly provided for in
Section 1.3.1 .
5.2. Approval or
Disapproval of Feasibility . On or before the
expiration of the Property Review Period, Purchaser shall give
written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent of its election to either
terminate this Agreement as described in
Section 5.1 (the “ Feasibility
Termination Notice ”) or to waive its right to
terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this
Article 5 (the “ Feasibility Waiver
Notice ”). Purchaser's failure to timely
give either a Feasibility Termination Notice or Feasibility Waiver
Notice shall be deemed Purchaser’s giving of the Feasibility
Termination Notice and an election by Purchaser to terminate this
Agreement under this Article 5 . If
Purchaser gives or is deemed to have given the Feasibility
Termination Notice, Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to
Purchaser as provided in Section 6.3 and this
Agreement and the escrow shall terminate.
5.3. Restoration of
Property . If Purchaser elects to terminate this
Agreement in accordance with this Article, Purchaser shall, at its
sole expense, repair any damage caused to the Property by any entry
thereon by Purchaser, its agents or contractors, including, without
limitation, any Inspections. Purchaser agrees to
indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless from any cost, liability,
expense, or injury to person or property arising out of Purchaser's
exercise of the rights granted by this Article. This
indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of this
Agreement or the Closing.
5.4. Transfer of
Documentation . Within five (5) days after the
Opening Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with the information
and documentation described on Exhibit
“F” , (collectively the “ Property
Documents ”) . The Property Documents may
be provided to Purchaser electronically or, to the extent the same
are oversized, may be made available to Purchaser for inspection at
the Property. The date on which the Property Documents
are provided to Purchaser or made available to Purchaser is
referred to as the “ Property Documents Delivery
Date .” Purchaser acknowledges that it shall have no
right to rely on the accuracy of any of the Property Documents
obtained from Seller, or Seller's agents, that such information is
being made available solely as a courtesy and that Seller has not,
and shall not be deemed to have, made any representations or
warranties whatsoever, express or implied, with respect to the
completeness, content or accuracy of the Property Documents or with
respect to any of the matters disclosed thereby.
5.5. No Financing
Contingency . Purchaser agrees that its obligations
under this Agreement are not contingent upon its ability to obtain
acquisition financing for the purchase of the Property.
6.1. Establishment
of Escrow . An escrow for this transaction shall be
established with Escrow Agent and Escrow Agent is hereby employed
by the parties to handle the escrow. This Agreement
shall constitute escrow instructions, and a fully executed copy or
counterpart copies shall be deposited with Escrow Agent for this
purpose. Should Escrow Agent require the execution of
its standard form printed escrow instructions, Purchaser and Seller
agree to execute the same to the extent the same are not
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and do not require
the parties to release or indemnify the Escrow Agent for its
negligence, willful misconduct or failure to abide by the terms of
any escrow instructions; however, such instructions shall be
construed as applying only to Escrow Agent's employment, and if
there are conflicts between the terms of this Agreement and the
terms of the printed escrow instructions, the terms of this
Agreement shall control. In no event shall the parties
be required to execute any printed escrow instructions that purport
to exculpate Escrow Agent or Title Insurer from their own negligent
conduct, willful misconduct, breach of written instructions, or bad
faith acts.
6.2. Cancellation of
Escrow . If the escrow fails to close because of
Seller's default, Seller shall be liable for all customary escrow
cancellation charges. If the escrow fails to close
because of Purchaser's default, Purchaser shall be liable for all
customary escrow cancellation charges. If the escrow
fails to close for any reason, Seller and Purchaser shall each be
liable for one-half (1/2) of all customary escrow cancellation
charges.
6.3. Termination
. Upon any termination by either of the parties hereto
as expressly allowed under this Agreement, (i) Purchaser shall
deliver to Seller all Inspection studies and reports addressed and
certified to Seller as provided in Section 5.1 ;
(ii) Purchaser shall return to Seller the Property Documents
and any materials concerning the Property previously delivered by
Seller to Purchaser, if any; (iii) the Deposit shall be
delivered by Escrow Agent to the party which this Agreement
specifies is entitled thereto, but if to Purchaser, only upon
Purchaser's compliance with clauses (i) and (ii) above; and
(iv) the parties shall thereafter be relieved from further
liability hereunder, except with respect to any obligations under
this Agreement, including, without limitation, indemnity
obligations of Purchaser, which are expressly stated to survive any
termination of this Agreement. A copy of any notice of
termination allowed under this Agreement shall be sent to Escrow
Agent by the party electing to terminate.
7.1. Seller's
Closing Costs . Upon the Closing, Seller agrees to
pay all recording costs relating to the Deed, one-half (1/2) of the
escrow charges and the cost of the Owner's Title Policy.
7.2. Purchaser's
Closing Costs . Upon the Closing, Purchaser agrees
to pay one-half (1/2) of the escrow charges.
8. Prorations and
Apportionments .
8.1. General
. All revenues and all expenses of the Property shall be
prorated and apportioned as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, so
that Seller shall bear all expenses with respect to the Property
and shall have the benefit of all income with respect to the
Property for the period preceding the Closing Date. Any
revenue or expense amount which cannot be ascertained with
certainty as of the Closing Date shall be prorated on the basis of
the parties' reasonable estimates of such amount and shall be the
subject of a final proration outside of escrow forty-five (45) days
after the Closing Date or as soon thereafter as the precise amounts
can be ascertained.
8.2. Prorations
. Items to be prorated shall include, without
limitation, tenant rents and other amounts payable under the
Leases; real estate taxes, improvement district and other types of
assessments, and personal property taxes with respect to the
Property, based on the latest available information; income and
expenses under any type of contracts being assigned under the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement; and utility charges payable by
the owner of the Property.
8.3. Tenant Rents
and Deposits . In prorating tenant rents and all
other amounts due under the Leases (collectively, the “
Rents ”), Rents which relate to the months or
other applicable periods up through the month or other applicable
period within which the Closing occurs shall be
prorated. Any Rent which is payable in arrears shall be
adjusted on the basis of figures equivalent to such amounts payable
for the immediately preceding period, then readjusted after the
Closing upon determination of final, actual amounts in accordance
with Section 8.1 . Seller shall receive a
credit for any Rents which are due and payable prior to the Closing
but not actually paid by the respective tenant(s), and Purchaser
shall have all rights of collection and enforcement with respect
thereto after the Closing. Purchaser shall be credited
with the total of any and all prepaid rents and refundable tenant
security deposits under the Leases, whether or not such security
deposits are actually held by Seller, and shall assume Seller's
obligation to refund such amounts as and if required by the terms
of the Leases.
8.3.1. Pass
Throughs . As part of Rents, tenants under the
Leases may be obligated to pay “pass throughs” such as
their proportionate share of property taxes, insurance, operating
expenses, or common area maintenance charges (collectively, the
“ Pass Throughs ”). Estimates
of such Pass Throughs paid by the tenants are reconciled with the
actual Pass Throughs due after the end of each calendar
year. Notwithstanding anything in this Article
8 to the contrary, Seller and Purchaser shall re-prorate
the Pass Throughs after such reconciliation occurs, but in no event
later than ninety (90) days after the end of the calendar year in
which the Closing occurs.
8.4. Utilities
. If possible, in lieu of prorating utility charges,
utility readings will be taken on the day prior to the Closing
Date, Seller shall pay the charges for utility services based on
such reading, and Purchaser shall contract for such utilities and
pay all utility expenses incurred on and after the Closing
Date.
8.5. Payment
. At the Closing, the net adjustment by reason of the
closing costs incurred by the parties and by the foregoing
prorations and apportionments, if in favor of Seller, shall be paid
in immediately available funds to Escrow Agent, or, if in favor of
Purchaser, shall be paid by set off against the Cash
Payment.
8.6. Real Property
Tax Appeal . If Seller has undertaken, or prior to
the Closing undertakes, an appeal of the real property taxes
applicable to the Property and if such tax appeal is not finalized
prior to the Closing, Purchaser agrees that after the Closing it
shall continue the services of Seller’s attorney or tax
appeal consultant for such tax appeal until the same is
completed. If the Closing occurs, upon the completion of
such appeal, any reduction in taxes and such attorney or tax appeal
consultant’s fees shall be prorated between Seller and
Purchaser based on their respective periods of ownership during the
relevant tax year(s).
9. Possession
. Possession of the Property shall be delivered to
Purchaser upon the Closing.
10. Brokerage
. Purchaser and Seller warrant and represent to each
other that neither has dealt with any real estate broker or
salesperson in connection with this transaction except CB Richard
Ellis, which represents Seller exclusively, and Vast Commercial
Real Estate Solutions, LLC, which represents Purchaser exclusively
(collectively, the “ Broker ”). Seller
shall be responsible for the payment of a brokerage commission to
the Broker in the amount of three and one half percent (3.5%) of
the Purchase Price, but only in the event that the Closing occurs,
such commission to be split two and one half percent (2.5%) to CB
Richard Ellis and one percent (1.0%) to Vast Commercial Real Estate
Solutions, LLC. If the Closing fails to occur for any
reason whatsoever, including the default by either party hereunder,
Seller shall have no obligation to pay the Broker any brokerage
commission with regard to the transaction contemplated herein and
in no event shall the Broker have any claim to any portion of the
Deposit that may be forfeited in the event of a Purchaser default
hereunder. If any other person shall assert a claim to a
finder's fee, brokerage commission, or any other compensation on
account of alleged employment as a finder or broker or performance
of services as a finder or broker in connection with this
transaction, the party under whom the finder or broker is claiming
shall indemnify and hold the other party harmless from and against
any such claim and all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in
connection with such claim or any action or proceeding brought on
such claim, including, but not limited to, counsel and witness fees
and court costs in defending against such claim. This
indemnity shall survive the Closing or termination and termination
of this Agreement and the escrow. Purchaser hereby
discloses to Seller that a member of Vast Commercial Real Estate
Solutions, LLC is also a member of Purchaser. By its
execution of the Acceptance by Broker below, the Broker agrees to
the provisions of this Article 10 .
11.1. Seller's
Remedies . Subject to the terms of the second to the
last sentence of this Section 11.1 , if Purchaser
fails to perform as required by this Agreement on or prior to the
Closing Date, in the time and manner set forth in this Agreement,
and provided Seller is not then in default, Seller may terminate
this Agreement and the escrow if such default is not cured after
five (5) days written notice to Purchaser and the Escrow Agent, in
which event Seller shall be entitled to all of the Deposit (and
Escrow Agent shall deliver to Seller the Deposit), as consideration
for acceptance of this Agreement, for taking the Property off the
market, and as the parties' best estimate of Seller's damages
resulting from Purchaser's default, but not as a
penalty. The Deposit released to Seller upon such
termination shall be Seller's sole and exclusive remedy against
Purchaser in all respects, except for any indemnification
obligations of Purchaser contained in this Agreement and except as
provided in the immediately following
sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser
wrongfully refuses to cause Escrow Agent to terminate the escrow
created hereby, if Purchaser wrongfully claims that this Agreement
has not been terminated, or if Purchaser wrongfully refuses to
allow the termination of this Agreement following a default by
Purchaser, Seller shall also be entitled to recover (a) all
costs and expenses, including actual attorneys' fees, incurred by
Seller in seeking specific performance of this liquidated damages
provision, and (b) all costs and expenses, including actual
attorneys' fees and consequential damages, if any, which may be
incurred by Seller by reason of the cloud on title to the Property
which may result from Purchaser's wrongful failure to allow the
termination of the escrow created
hereby and the
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the
contrary, Purchaser shall be entitled to no cure period if
Purchaser fails to close escrow on the Closing Date due to
Purchaser's failure to have immediately available funds in escrow
sufficient in amount to close the transaction described herein in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
11.2. Purchaser's
Remedies . If Seller fails to perform when due any
act required by this Agreement to be performed by Seller on or
prior to the Closing Date, and provided Purchaser is not then in
default, then Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedies, may,
if such default is not cured after five (5) days notice to Seller
and Escrow Agent, either: (i) terminate this
Agreement and the escrow, such termination to be effective upon
Purchaser giving written notice of termination to Seller and Escrow
Agent, and upon such termination, Purchaser shall be entitled to
