neither has dealt with any broker or any other person concerning this purchase
and sale of the Property in a manner that would give rise to a claim for the
payment of a fee or commission. Each party agrees, on demand, to indemnify,
defend, and hold harmless the other party for, from, and against any claim,
damage, loss, liability, or expense, (including attorney fees in a reasonable
amount) arising out of any act or omission of the party or its representatives
that forms the basis for any claim for commissions, fees, or any similar charge.
As used in this Contract, the term "BROKER" means any real estate broker,
salesperson, agent, finder, or any other person entitled to a real estate
commission, fee, or any similar charge. If and only if the Escrow closes in
accordance with the terms of this Contract, Seller will pay to Employed Broker a
brokerage commission in the amount specified in the separate brokerage agreement

SECTION 2.04. TIME PERIODS.

Seller to sell and Buyer to purchase the Property on the terms and
conditions of this Contract when the Contract is signed by both Buyer
and Seller. The date of the Opening of Escrow ("OPENING OF ESCROW")
will be the date on which Escrow Agent has received this Contract
executed by Buyer and Seller; and has accepted this Contract as its
escrow instructions by executing this Contract on the signature page.
Escrow Agent is instructed to insert the date of opening in the
signature portion of this Contract. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Contract or any purchase offer, Seller's acceptance,
negotiation, and/or deposit of Buyer's cashier's check (No. 004167681)
dated January 14, 2005, drawn on Bank of America in the amount of
$100,000 ("BUYER'S CASHIER CHECK") for the Initial Xxxxxxx Money will
constitute Seller's irrevocable acceptance of the terms and conditions
of this Contract and entitle Buyer to the rights and benefits under
this Contract.
(b) The "INSPECTION PERIOD" will commence with the Opening of
Escrow and will expire on the date that is 60 days after the Opening of
Escrow.
3
(c) The completion of the purchase and sale transaction
described in this Contract ("CLOSE OF ESCROW") will occur on or before
December 23, 2005 ("OUTSIDE CLOSING DATE") on a date mutually agreed
upon by Buyer and Seller. At any time prior to September 23, 2005,
Buyer may elect to accelerate the Close of Escrow by delivering written
notice to Seller and Escrow Agent a minimum of 90 days before the
desired date of closing, and the closing will then occur on a date
established in the notice. As used in this Contract, the term "CLOSING
DATE" means the actual date established for closing under the Contract.
SECTION 2.05. CLOSING COSTS AND PRORATIONS. Escrow Agent will prorate
the following items between Seller and Buyer at Close of Escrow (and Buyer and
Seller agree to pay their respective portions):
(a) Real property taxes will be prorated between Seller and
Buyer as of the Close of Escrow, based upon the actual amount of taxes
that are attributable to the Property for the year in which the closing
occurs (even if payable, in whole or in part, in the following year)
and, if the actual amount is not available, an estimate of the taxes
based upon the best available information to Escrow Agent. If any
prorations are based upon estimates, then re-prorations will be made
post-closing when tax bills for the year in which the Closing Date
occurs are received. Seller will be responsible for the payment of all
real property taxes that are attributable to the period of time on and
prior to the Close of Escrow, and Buyer will be responsible for the
payment of all real property taxes that are attributable to the period
of time after the Close of Escrow.
(b) With respect to any special assessments, improvement
district assessments, municipal assessment districts, and the like that
are a financial obligation on the Property or an owner of the Property
(referred to collectively as "PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS"), Buyer and Seller
agree as follows: (i) all Property Assessments that are collected as
part of the real property taxes will be prorated as established above
along with (and on the same basis as) the real property taxes; and (ii)
all Property Assessments that are collected/paid separate from the real
property taxes but that exist as of the Close of Escrow also will be
prorated in the same manner as real estate taxes.
(c) All Tenant Deposits will be delivered to Buyer at the
Close of Escrow or, alternatively, will be credited toward the Price.
The "TENANT DEPOSITS" consist of all security deposits made by tenants
at the Property as of the Closing Date and all security deposits made
by future tenants for which there exists a signed lease for the
Property but whose occupancy does not commence until after the Closing
Date, whether refundable or nonrefundable and however designated (such
as, for example, last month's rent, key deposit, redecorating fee, pet
deposit, etc.). Tenant Deposits may be returned to the applicable
tenants and/or applied to any lease payments in the ordinary course of
business by Seller.
(d) All prepaid rents paid to Seller by tenants of the
Property for periods subsequent to the Close of Escrow will be paid by
Seller to Buyer at the Close of Escrow or, alternatively, will be
credited toward the payment of the Price. All rental payments actually
collected for the month in which the Closing Date occurs will be
prorated as of the Close of Escrow. Seller will not be entitled to any
credit or payment for rents due and unpaid as of the Close of Escrow,
and Seller is not entitled to apply any Tenant Deposits in reduction of
any unpaid rents in the 30 days prior to the Closing Date. Buyer, after
the Close of Escrow, will use its good faith efforts to collect past
due rents and other damages that are owed to Seller from delinquent
tenants as of the Close of Escrow, but Buyer's good faith efforts will
not require it to incur any expense to collect past due rents and other
damages. If Buyer collects any money from tenants who, as of the Close
of Escrow, have past due rents, Seller agrees that the first money
received by Buyer from these tenants will be applied to then-current
rents and damages until all such amounts are fully paid, and
subsequently, Buyer agrees to use good-faith efforts to promptly remit
to Seller any additional amounts collected from these delinquent
tenants to tenant arrearages as of the Close of Escrow. Seller
acknowledges that Buyer will not be required to institute any
litigation or eviction proceedings or incur any cost to collect any
arrearages owed to Seller.
(e) All operating expenses for the Property during the period
of time prior to and including the Close of Escrow will be paid by
Seller. Any bills for operating expenses that apply to the period of
time prior to the Close of Escrow but are received by Seller or Buyer
after the Close of Escrow will be paid by Seller through the
post-closing adjustment mechanism described below. Buyer will be
responsible for all operating expenses for the Property incurred after
the Closing Date. All utility deposits posted by Seller will remain the
property of Seller and will not be prorated. To the extent possible,
utility prorations will be handled by meter readings on the day
immediately preceding the Closing Date; otherwise, they will be based
on prior months' bills and re-prorated on receipt of the actual bills.
To the extent not prorated through escrow on the Closing Date, all
operating expenses will be prorated and paid (adjusted), if applicable,
under the post-closing adjustment mechanism established below.
4
(f) Seller will pay all lease taxes and sales and use taxes
for rents collected by Seller on and prior to the Close of Escrow and
past-due rents collected by Buyer after the Closing Date and remitted
to Seller, and Buyer will pay all lease taxes and sales and use taxes
for rents collected ands retained by Buyer subsequent to the Close of
Escrow.
(g) Any rental or leasing commissions attributable to leases
under which the tenant first took possession (or was first required to
pay rent) prior to the Close of Escrow will be paid by Seller, and any
rental or leasing commissions attributable to leases under which the
tenant first was required to pay rent after the Close of Escrow will be
paid by Buyer.
(h) All prorations must be made by Escrow Agent through the
Closing Date (with the Seller being deemed the owner of the Property on
Closing Date). All proration items and closing costs that are not
specifically dealt with under the terms of this Contract will be
allocated by Escrow Agent in accordance with the Additional Escrow
Instructions or, if not dealt with there, in accordance with Escrow
Agent's standard custom and practice.
(i) To the extent the items established above cannot be
accurately prorated by Escrow Agent on the Closing Date, adjustments to
the prorations will be made from time to time after the Close of Escrow
by Buyer and Seller directly to take account of final information as to
taxes and other expenses estimated as of the Close of Escrow or to
adjust rents or expenses that were not included in the prorations done
at the Close of Escrow. Buyer or Seller, as applicable, will pay the
other on demand all amounts as may be appropriate based on the
post-closing adjustments, together with interest at 10% per annum on
any amount due from the date of written demand if the amount remains
unpaid more than 30 days after written demand. Adjustments to
prorations (other than prorations for taxes) must be completed within
90 days after the Close of Escrow and adjustments to tax prorations
must be completed within 30 days after tax bills are received by both
Buyer and Seller (Buyer and Seller each agreeing to provide the other
with a copy of any property tax xxxx received by it) after the Closing
Date. These post-closing adjustment provisions (and the other
provisions to which it applies) will survive the Closing.
ARTICLE III
DUE DILIGENCE AND BUYER CONTINGENCIES
SECTION 3.01. DUE DILIGENCE DOCUMENTS. Within five business days after
the Opening of Escrow and to the extent available to Seller or readily
obtainable by Seller, Seller will deliver or make available to Buyer at the
Property copies of the documents listed on EXHIBIT "C" (collectively, the "DUE
DILIGENCE DOCUMENTS"). If any of the Due Diligence Documents are unavailable or
are not reasonably obtainable, Seller, along with delivery of the Due Diligence
Documents, will notify Buyer in writing of their unavailability. Additionally,
at all times during the term of the Escrow, Seller agrees to cooperate on a
commercially reasonable basis with Buyer's request for additional due diligence
documents that may be in Seller's possession or readily obtainable by Seller.
SECTION 3.02. TITLE AND SURVEY. As soon as reasonably possible after
the Opening of Escrow, Escrow Agent will deliver to Buyer a commitment for an
extended owner's policy of title insurance ("TITLE REPORT") and copies of all
non-standard exceptions to the Title Report. The Title Report must have an
effective date after the Opening of Escrow. Buyer will obtain at its expense
prior to the end of the Inspection Period an update to the Current Survey
prepared to Buyer's specifications ("SURVEY"). Buyer will have until the end of
the Inspection Period, within which to notify Seller and Escrow Agent, in
writing, of Buyer's disapproval ("TITLE OBJECTIONS") of any title exceptions or
other matters that are contained in the Title Report or the Survey. Buyer's
failure to make its Title Objections on a timely basis will be deemed a waiver
of its title contingency under Sections 3.02(a) and (b) below. Except for those
matters that Seller is obligated to discharge or remove from title on or before
the Closing Date (i.e., Monetary Liens described below) and disapproved Project
Contracts) under the terms of this Contract, Buyer agrees to accept title to the
Property subject to those matters described as title exceptions in First
American Title Insurance Company of Arizona, Pro Forma Policy No. 4062756, dated
February 14, 2003 ("APPROVED PRO FORMA POLICY") and disclosed on ALTA/ACSM
Survey prepared by O'Neil Engineering, Inc., dated February 2003, Revision date
February 24, 2003 (Job No. 3475) ("EXISTING SURVEY").
5
(a) If Buyer makes any Title Objections on or before the end
of the Title Review Period, Seller may elect, by delivering written
notice to Buyer and Escrow Agent, to: (i) attempt to cure all or any of
the Title Objections, in which case any Title Objections cured by
Seller will be considered to have been approved by Buyer; or (ii) not
attempt to cure all or any of the title Objections. Seller may cure the
Title Objections only by causing the removal of record of the Title
Objections, modifying of record the Title Objections, obtaining a
commitment from Escrow Agent to eliminate the Title Objections from the
Title Policy, or causing Escrow Agent to issue an endorsement insuring
Buyer against loss or damage from the Title Objections or to provide
other affirmative assurances to Buyer with regard to the Title
Objections. All such cures (other than formal removal of record) must
be in a form and content acceptable to Buyer, in its sole discretion.
All endorsements representing a cure of a Title Objection will be paid
for by Seller, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Seller's election
under subsection (i) or (ii) above must be made within 10 days after
Seller's receipt of the Title Objections. Seller's failure to make a
timely election under subsection (i) or (ii) above will be deemed an
election to not to attempt to cure under subsection (ii) above. Seller
will have no obligation or duty to cure the Title Objections or to
incur any expense in curing the Title Objections, except the Money
Liens described below.
(b) If Seller has elected to attempt to cure any of the Title
Objections pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(i) above and does not or cannot
cure those objections within 30 days after the end of the Inspection
Period (or otherwise deliver sufficient evidence within that time of
Seller's ability to cure the matter at the closing), or if Seller has
elected or is deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure pursuant to
Section 3.02(a)(ii) above, Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may
elect to: (i) waive its Title Objections and complete the purchase of
the Property at the Price (without any price adjustment and without any
right or claim to damages, credit, or offset for the Title Objections,
except removal of the Money Liens, which will be paid from Seller's
proceeds of sale); or (ii) cancel this Contract. Buyer's failure to
make the election described in the previous sentence within 10 days
after the earlier to occur of the expiration of Seller's cure period
described above or Buyer's receipt (or deemed receipt) of Seller's
election not to attempt to cure will be deemed an acceptance of title
as described in the Title Report and Survey (except for the items that
Escrow Agent has agreed to delete or modify) and a waiver of Buyer's
right to cancel this Contract for a failure of Buyer's title
contingency.
(c) If Escrow Agent, after the expiration of the Title Review
Period, updates, adds to, or amends the Title Report (by endorsement,
amendment, or otherwise) to include a new title exception resulting
from any new matters or facts that became known or were revealed to
Escrow Agent after the Opening of Escrow and that were not caused by
Buyer's acts, Buyer will have until the earlier of two days prior to
the Closing Date or five business days following Buyer's receipt of the
amended Title Report (including legible and complete copies of all new
title exceptions) to notify Seller in writing of its objections (with
all new objections being considered as additional "TITLE OBJECTIONS").
If Buyer timely objects to any new title exception, the timing and cure
provisions outlined in Sections 3.02(a) and (b) will apply.
Notwithstanding the preceding portions of this Section 3.02(c), the
Closing Date will not be extended as a result of the application of
Sections 3.02(a), (b), and (c), and all decisions of Buyer must be made
on or prior to the Closing Date.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract,
Seller, at its cost on or before the Close of Escrow, will discharge,
defease, and release the Property from all deeds of trust, mortgages,
installment land contracts, mechanic's liens, and consensual liens
applicable to the Property (including the payment of any so-called
prepayment, defeasance, or other fee) (called collectively the
"MONETARY LIENS").
6
SECTION 3.03. INSPECTION.
(a) During the term of the Escrow and at Buyer's sole cost,
Buyer and its designated agents will be permitted reasonable access to
the books and records of Seller related to the operation of the
Property, including tenant files and operating records (collectively,
the "BOOKS AND RECORDS"). Specifically, Buyer will be permitted to
review and copy, at Buyer's expense, all tenant applications and leases
as well as all other Books and Records available at the Property. Buyer
will provide notice to Seller of the date and time the Buyer desires to
access, review, and copy Books and Records. Seller agrees to cooperate
on a commercially reasonable basis (and to cause its current property
manager to cooperate) in providing operational and financial reports,
etc. with respect to the operation of the Property as a commercially
reasonable purchaser would require.
(b) During the term of the Escrow, Buyer and its designated
agents and independent contractors may access the Property, including
meeting with and interviewing the tenants, during normal business hours
to investigate the physical and environmental condition of the Property
and its major components including heating, plumbing, air conditioning,
electricity, etc. and to conduct all tests that Buyer may deem
necessary, including tests for termite infestation. Buyer, by its
execution of this Contract, specifically acknowledges that Seller has
advised Buyer that termite infestation exists at the Property. All
investigations and tests must be conducted in a manner that does not
unreasonably interfere with Seller's maintenance, ownership, or
operation of the Property or the use and enjoyment of the Property by
any tenant or tenant's guest. Any inspections of individual units at
the Property must be accomplished in accordance with the notice
provisions of the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. Written
notification of the date and time of Buyer's investigations and test
must be sent to Seller at least 48 hours before entry on the Property.
(c) Buyer's obligation to Close the Escrow and consummate the
purchase of the Property is not conditioned on Buyer's approval of the
physical condition of the Property, and Buyer expressly acknowledges
that Buyer is acquiring the Property in an "as is" physical condition.
(d) Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
Seller for, from, and against all damages, claims, and liabilities
resulting from any tests and inspections performed on the Property by
Buyer or its consultants, including personal injury and property
damage. Specifically, Buyer agrees to restore the Property to its
condition immediately prior to any invasive testing. Buyer also agrees
to name Seller as an additional insured on Buyer's commercial liability
insurance (with aggregate coverages of at least $1,000,000) insuring
against liability for Buyer's entry on the Property.
SECTION 3.04. REDEVELOPMENT ENTITLEMENTS. Although not a condition to
Buyer's obligation to close this Escrow and consummate the purchase of the
Property, Buyer is expressly authorized to make any and all investigations,
inquiries, and applications from, to, or of the City of Phoenix and/or any
applicable municipal, county, state, or federal agencies or authorities
(collectively, the "GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES") to redevelopment of the Property
including a rezoning approval, height and density waivers or variances, site
plan approval, development approval, land use entitlements, permits, development
agreements, and the like (collectively called the "REDEVELOPMENT ENTITLEMENTS").
Seller agrees to cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner with Buyer in
seeking the Redevelopment Entitlements including, whenever necessary, providing
appropriate letters of authority evidencing Buyer's authority to make any
necessary or desirable applications with the Governmental Authorities.
ARTICLE IV
DEED AND REPRESENTATIONS
SECTION 4.01. DEED. Seller will convey fee simple title to the Property
to Buyer at Close of Escrow by a special warranty deed ("DEED") in the form that
is attached as EXHIBIT "D".
SECTION 4.02. SELLER REPRESENTATIONS. As of the Opening of Escrow and
at all times during the Escrow through and including the Closing Date, the
representations and warranties made by Seller to Buyer as detailed on EXHIBIT
"E" (collectively, the "SELLER CONTRACT REPRESENTATIONS") must be true and
correct.
7
SECTION 4.03. REPRESENTATION BREACH.
(a) Buyer's obligation to purchase the Property is conditioned
upon the truth and accuracy, in all respects, of the Seller Contract
Representations. If Seller obtains actual knowledge of an error in or
breach of any of the Seller Contract Representations prior to Closing,
Seller promptly will give written notice to Buyer. Upon receipt of
Seller's notice, Buyer will have until the later of the end of the
Inspection Period of 10 days after Seller's notice of error or breach
to cancel the Contract and declare Seller in breach. If Buyer declares
a breach, Seller will return the Initial Xxxxxxx Money to Buyer, and
Escrow Agent will deliver the Additional Xxxxxxx Money to Buyer, both
as Buyer's sole remedy. If the breach, however, is caused by the
intentional, willful, or grossly negligent acts or misrepresentations
of Seller, Buyer will be entitled to exercise its remedies established
under Section 6.03 below. Unless Buyer declares a breach, the
applicable Seller Contract Representation will be deemed amended by
Seller's notice, and Buyer will be deemed to have elected to accept the
change and proceed to close this transaction with no modification of
the Price or claim on Seller.
(b) If, after the Close of Escrow, Buyer first discovers a
breach of Seller's representations and warranties, Buyer will be
entitled to bring an action against Seller for the actual and direct
damages incurred by Buyer as a result of the breach taking into account
Buyer's proposed redevelopment plans. Any award of damages will not
include punitive damages (except to the extent of fraud of Seller) or
consequential damages, whether or not foreseeable.
SECTION 4.04. SURVIVAL. The Seller Contract Representations will
survive the Close of Escrow and the delivery of the deed for: (i) in the case of
the Seller Authority Reps, a period of two years; and (ii) in the case of the
Notice Reps, Physical Condition Reps, and Operational Reps, a period of one
year; however, these limitations will not apply to any representation that Buyer
claims has been breached in a written notice to Seller delivered prior to the
end of the applicable period but not settled prior to the end of the applicable
period (a "TIMELY CLAIMED BREACH"). None of the foregoing limitations will apply
to any action of Buyer against Seller for intentional misrepresentations, the
cause of action for which will be limited solely by any applicable statute of
limitations under Arizona law.
SECTION 4.05. NO OTHER WARRANTY. Except as expressly set forth in this
Contract or any of the documents to be executed pursuant to this Contract
("ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS"), Buyer acknowledges that Seller is selling the Property
"AS IS" and that neither Seller nor its representatives or agents have made any
warranties or representations, express or implied, oral or written, regarding
any matter pertaining to the Property or its use including: (i) the physical
condition, environmental condition, zoning, use, valuation, intended use, or
other condition of the Property; (ii) its merchantability; (iii) its fitness for
a particular purpose; or (iv) the physical condition, environmental condition,
zoning, use, valuation, intended use, or other condition of any neighboring
property.
SECTION 4.06. PROPERTY CONDITION; OPERATING POLICIES.
(a) Between the Opening of Escrow and the Close of Escrow,
Seller will use its reasonable efforts to operate and maintain the
Property in substantially the same manner, condition, and repair
(subject to only ordinary wear and tear) as Seller has operated the
Property prior to the Opening of Escrow. During the term of this
Escrow, Seller will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the items
comprising the Property or mortgage or create liens or encumbrances
against the Property, except the use of regular operating inventory in
the ordinary course of business and, to the extent Seller would
otherwise replace any disposed of item in the normal course of its
operations, Seller will replace the disposed of items.
(b) After the Opening of Escrow and except for tenant leases,
Seller agrees that it will not enter into, terminate, or amend Project
Contract affecting the Property, including those for the furnishing of
goods or services to or for the benefit of the Property, except for the
entering into Project Contracts that are terminable without penalty
upon not more than 30 days notice or unless Seller first obtains

business leases and all project, service, advertising, locater service,

internet, cell towers, and antennae contracts (collectively, the
"PROJECT CONTRACTS"). If Buyer disapproves any of the Project
Contracts, Seller, without adjustment to the Price, must cause the
Project Contracts to be cancelled as of the Closing Date and,

Money, Seller upon the written request of Buyer agrees to cooperate on
a commercially reasonable basis to manage all lease expirations,
renewals, and new leases so as to minimize the unexpired terms of
tenant leases in existence on the Closing Date. This obligation to
cooperate includes Seller's discussion with Buyer and formulation of a
joint plan as to these matters and the implementation of that plan.

ARTICLE VI
GENERAL PROVISIONS
SECTION 6.01. INDEMNITY FOR ENTRY. Buyer, on demand, must indemnify,
defend, and hold harmless Seller for, from, and against any and all loss, cost,
damage, claim, liability, or expense, including court costs and attorney fees in
a reasonable amount, arising out of Buyer's or its agent's or its independent
contractor's entry on the Property for the purposes of its inspections and
tests; however, Buyer will have no liability for any punitive damages or for or
with respect to pre-existing conditions. The foregoing indemnity includes any
repairs necessary to restore the Property to its condition prior to the entry
and to remove and release any mechanic's and materialman's liens.
SECTION 6.02. DEFAULT OF BUYER. If Buyer breaches this Contract,
Seller, as its sole remedy, will be entitled to deliver a notice of immediate
cancellation to Buyer and Escrow Agent and be paid the sum of $500,000, as full,
liquidated, and agreed-upon damages for Buyer's breach or default, against which
by Buyer will be created the Initial Xxxxxxx Money and any Additional Xxxxxxx
Money deposits made by Buyer and released to Seller. With the fluctuation in
land values, the unpredictable state of the economy, the fluctuating money
market for real estate loans, and other factors that affect the marketability of
the Property, Buyer and Seller agree that it would be impractical and extremely
difficult to estimate the actual damages that Seller may suffer in the event of
a default by Buyer. This remedy provision has been agreed-upon after specific
negotiation, keeping in mind the difficulties in estimating actual damages.
Buyer and Seller agree that the Xxxxxxx Money represents a reasonable estimate
of the total damages.
SECTION 6.03. DEFAULT BY SELLER. If Seller breaches this Contract,
Buyer, as Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy, may elect to: (i) cancel this
Contract and the Escrow and receive a refund of its Xxxxxxx Money; (ii) enforce
specific performance of this Contract without any right whatsoever against
Seller to any offset or credit against the Price or to any other equitable or
legal remedies or monetary damages; (iii) if specific performance is not
available, commence an action for actual damages; or (iv) elect to waive the
breach and close the transaction. Buyer's cancellation notice under subsection
(i) above will be deemed effective immediately upon delivery of written notice
of the cancellation to Seller and Escrow Agent. If Buyer fails to file suit for
its remedy of specific performance within 90 days following the scheduled
Closing Date, Buyer will be deemed to have waived its specific performance
remedy.
SECTION 6.04. ATTORNEY'S FEES. If any action is brought by either Buyer
or Seller regarding its rights under this Contract, the prevailing party will be
entitled to attorney fees in a reasonable amount, expenses, and court costs both
at trial and on appeal.
SECTION 6.05. NOMINATION AND ASSIGNMENT. Buyer may assign its rights
under this Contract to an Affiliated Entity by providing notice of the
assignment to Seller and to Escrow Agent at least two days prior to the
effective date of the assignment. Except for permitted assignment to an
Affiliated Entity as described in the preceding sentence, Buyer may not assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Contract without the prior
written consent of Seller, whose consent may be given or withheld in Seller's
commercially reasonable discretion. The term "AFFILIATED ENTITY" means any
entity that is owned, managed, or controlled by Buyer or by an affiliate of
Buyer. Any assignee of Buyer, by accepting an assignment, will be deemed to have
assumed all of the obligations of Buyer under this Contract; however, in the
case of any assignment, the original Buyer will not be released from its
obligations under the Contract but will remain liable for all obligations under
the Contract that are the obligations of the Buyer. Subject to the limitation
contained above in this paragraph, this Contract is binding on and will inure to
the benefit of the successors or assigns of Buyer and Seller. No person other
than Buyer, Seller, and Escrow Agent is a party to this Contract, and no person
will be deemed or is intended to be a third-party beneficiary to this Contract.
11
SECTION 6.06. CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION. Seller will promptly provide
notice to Buyer of any loss, damage, or taking ("LOSS") prior to Close of
Escrow. If the amount of the Loss exceeds $100,000 (or the Loss involves the
taking of access, parking or other material benefits, or facilities), then,
within 15 days of Buyer's receipt of Seller's notice of the Loss, Buyer may
elect to either: (i) terminate this Contract, in which case Buyer will be
entitled to a return of all Xxxxxxx Money; or (ii) proceed with the purchase of
the Property. If Buyer fails to timely provide notice of its election or if the
amount of the Loss does not exceed $100,000 (and does not involves the taking of
access, parking, or other material benefits or facilities), then Buyer and
Seller will proceed under subsection (ii). If Buyer and Seller proceed, the
Price will be adjusted downward by the amount of all awards and payments
actually paid to Seller by the insurer or the condemning authority plus any
deductible amounts under any applicable policies of insurance and other
uninsured amounts. If Seller has not actually received the entire award or
payment from the insurer or the condemning authority at the Close of Escrow,
Seller also will assign to Buyer all of its rights to any further awards or
payments (including, without limitation, all casualty and rent loss proceeds).
SECTION 6.07. GOVERNING LAW AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION. This Contract
is to be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of
the State of Arizona. Any action brought to interpret, enforce, or construe any
provision of this Contract must be commenced and maintained in the Superior
Court of the State of Arizona, Maricopa County, or in the United States District
Court for the District of Arizona. All parties irrevocably consent to this
jurisdiction and venue and agree not to transfer or remove any action commenced
in accordance with this Contract.
SECTION 6.08. CONSTRUCTION. The terms and provisions of this Contract
represent the results of negotiations between Seller and Buyer, neither of which
have acted under any duress or compulsion, whether legal, economic, or
otherwise. Consequently, the terms and provisions of this Contract will be
interpreted and construed in accordance with their usual and customary meanings,
and Seller and Buyer each waive the application of any rule of law which states
that ambiguous or conflicting terms or provisions are to be interpreted or
construed against the party whose attorney prepared the Contract or any earlier
draft of the Contract.
SECTION 6.09. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Contract constitutes the entire
understanding between the parties pertaining to the subject matter of this
Contract, and all prior agreements, representations, and understandings of the
parties, whether oral or written, are superseded and merged in this Contract. No
supplement, modification, or amendment of this Contract will be binding unless
in writing and executed by the parties. No waiver of any of the provisions of
this Contract will be deemed or will constitute a waiver of any other
provisions, whether or not similar, nor will any waiver be a continuing waiver.
No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the
waiver. Time is of the essence in the performance of each and every term of this
Contract.
SECTION 6.10. MISCELLANEOUS DEFINITIONS AND STANDARDS. Whenever the
terms "SOLE DISCRETION", "SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION", or "SOLE OPTION" are
used, these terms will mean that the act or decision of the party may be made in
the party's independent and individual choice of judgment, without regard to any
objective or other standard of consideration. Except for those acts or decisions
that may be made in a party's "sole discretion" etc., all acts or decisions of
any party to this Contract must be exercised with reasonable discretion.
Whenever the phrase "TO SELLER'S KNOWLEDGE" or any variation of either phrase is
used, the phrase will mean that the matter represented is made based upon the
actual knowledge of Xxx Xxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, without any duty of
investigation or verification of the matter on a current or ongoing basis and
subject to all information given and disclosures made pursuant to this Contract.
The term "WILL" denotes a mandatory obligation, and the term "MAY" is a
permissive word denoting an option. All references in this Contract to the
"ESCROW AGENT" will be deemed to include the applicable title insurance
underwriter for the Title Policy.
SECTION 6.11. COUNTERPARTS. This Contract and any amendments may be
executed in any number of original or telecopy counterparts, each of which will
be effective on delivery and all of which together will constitute one binding
agreement of the parties. Any signature page of the Contract may be detached
from any executed counterpart of the Contract without impairing the legal effect
of any signatures and may be attached to another counterpart of the Contract
that is identical in form to the document signed (but that has attached to it
one or more additional signature pages).
SECTION 6.12. SEVERABILITY. If any one or more of the provisions of
this Contract or the applicability of any provision to a specific situation is
held invalid or unenforceable, the provision will be modified to the minimum
extent necessary to make it or its application valid and enforceable in a manner
consistent with the intent of this Contract, and the validity and enforceability
of all other provisions of this Contract and all other applications of the
enforceable provisions will not be affected by the invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision, so long as the Contract may still be enforced
in a manner consistent with the intent of Buyer and Seller.
12
SECTION 6.13. CONFIDENTIALITY. Without the prior written approval of
Buyer and Seller, neither Seller, Buyer, nor Escrow Agent will make, authorize,
or confirm any public announcement of this transaction or discuss this
transaction or otherwise disclose any portion of the Due Diligence Documents,
Books and Records (including all operating information) or results of
environmental reports and assessments performed by Buyer, except as required by
law or, as for Buyer, with those persons directly involved in the transaction
including attorneys, advisors, partners, investors, consultants, accountants,
and prospective lenders, without the prior written or oral consent of Seller.
SECTION 6.14. TAX DEFERRED EXCHANGE. Seller and Buyer agree to
cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner with each other and any designated
exchange intermediary or exchange accommodation titleholder in order to
effectuate a tax deferred exchange of the Property under Section 1031 of the
Internal Revenue Code. This obligation to cooperate does not include requiring
the other party to take title to any other property to complete the exchange, to
issue any legal opinions, to increase the potential liability of the
non-exchange party, or to expand legal fees to review exchange documents in
other than a diminimus (less than $1,000) amount.
