In the event that, based on information obtained pursuant to such Phase I environmental site assessment or other noninvasive environmental investigation or assessments, Buyer desires to conduct any subsurface investigation or any other testing, inspections, or assessments (e.g., a Phase II environmental site assessment) in, on, at, under, or of the Property or any improvements thereon, Buyer shall provide Seller with a written request to conduct such proposed investigation, testing, inspection, or assessment, together with a detailed scope of work for the same. Seller shall have the right, in Seller’s reasonable discretion, to grant, withhold, or condition its permission for Buyer to conduct such proposed investigation, testing, inspection, or assessment. If Seller refuses to permit any subsurface investigation or other testing, inspection, or assessment, Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller of such election, whereupon the Earnest Money Deposit shall be immediately refunded to Buyer and, except for those provisions expressly surviving termination hereof, Seller’s and Buyer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate. If the Closing does not occur for any reason except for a Seller Default, then Buyer, upon Seller’s request, shall provide Seller with any non-confidential, non-proprietary Environmental Reports and any other data or information obtained by Buyer in connection with the Environmental Reports within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of Seller’s request for same, all without any representation or warranties as to the accuracy of such reports. The foregoing obligation of Buyer shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

3.05
Inspections.

 

a.
During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may conduct the Inspections during normal business hours (or otherwise with a minimum of 24 hours’ advance written notice to Seller), and Seller shall provide members of Buyer’s Due Diligence Team with access to the Property in connection therewith. Prior to any entry upon the Property, Buyer’s Due Diligence Team shall have in place comprehensive general liability insurance with coverage of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence. Seller may request Buyer provide a current certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage and Buyer shall promptly provide the same and list Seller and any other party(ies) reasonably requested by Seller as additional insureds. All Inspections shall be coordinated through Seller and conducted in compliance with all terms and conditions of the Lease pertaining to any entry or access onto the Property by the landlord under the Lease and/or pertaining to any inspections of or on the Property conducted by or on behalf of the landlord under the Lease. Further, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not affect, interrupt or interfere with Tenant’s use, business or operations on the Property. In no event may Buyer contact or permit anyone to contact Tenant or its agents, employees, or customers (except in connection with a Phase I environmental site assessment). Seller may require, upon prior written notice to Buyer, that a representative of Seller be present at any time that Buyer or Buyer’s Due Diligence Team is present on the Property; provided that the unavailability of a Seller representative during any planned Inspection shall not prohibit Buyer from conducting any such Inspection.

 

b.
Buyer agrees that its Inspections shall be conducted so as to cause a minimum of disturbance to the Property and Seller’s and Tenant’s operations on and use of the Property, and that in the event of any physical disturbance of the Property caused by such Inspections, Buyer shall promptly restore the Property to substantially the same condition as its pre-inspection condition at Buyer’s expense. Buyer, for itself and its successors and assigns, shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller and its successors, officers, directors, agents, employees, lender, and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller Parties that arise from or relate to such Inspections made by or on behalf of Buyer or from the entry by Buyer or Buyer’s Due Diligence Team onto the Property, including, without limitation, all claims for death of or injury to persons or damage of property arising out of or as a result of the activities of Buyer or Buyer’s agents; provided, however, that in no event shall (i) Buyer be liable to Seller for consequential or special damages, and (ii) the foregoing indemnity apply to any Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller Parties as a result of the negligence or

12


 

willful misconduct of Seller, Tenant, or any occupant of the Property, or the mere discovery of any pre-existing condition on the Property. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

c.
Buyer shall not permit any construction, mechanic’s, materialman’s or other lien to be filed against any of the Property as the result of the Inspections or any work, labor, service or materials performed or furnished, by, for or to Buyer, its employees, agents and/or contractors. If any such lien shall at any time be filed against the Property, Buyer shall, without expense to Seller, cause the same to be discharged of record by payment, bonds, order of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, within thirty (30) days of the filing thereof. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller against any and all Losses arising out of the filing of any such liens and/or the failure of Buyer to cause the discharge thereof as same is provided herein. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

3.06
Tenant Estoppel Certificate; Lease Proof of Insurance. In addition to all other conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligations herein, Buyer’s obligation to close the Transaction is further subject to the condition precedent that at least five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have received the (x) Tenant Estoppel Certificate executed by Tenant confirming the accuracy of the Lease’s rent, term, and other details, and certifying that the Lease is in full force and effect without any defaults, disputes, or controversies, and (y) Lease Proof of Insurance. In the event that the deliverables set forth in the prior sentence are not delivered to Buyer at least five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Due Diligence Period shall be automatically extended for an additional five (5) Business Days; provided, however, that in no event shall any such extension of the Due Diligence Period extend beyond or cause the Closing to occur after the Closing Date. Seller’s failure to deliver the Tenant Estoppel Certificate and/or Lease Proof of Insurance shall not constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement as long as Seller has requested the same from Tenant pursuant to the Lease.

 

3.07
Buyer’s Election to Terminate or Proceed with Acquisition. If Buyer, in its sole discretion, decides (i) not to proceed with acquiring the Property for any reason or no reason, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Seller before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (a “Termination Notice”); or (ii) to proceed with the acquisition of the Property, Buyer shall provide a written notice to Seller before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period stating its decision to proceed with the acquisition (an “Approval Notice”). If Buyer provides a Termination Notice, this Agreement will terminate upon receipt of such notice by Seller. If Buyer provides an Approval Notice, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect, except as otherwise provided herein. If Buyer does not provide either a Termination Notice or an Approval Notice before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Upon any termination or deemed termination under this Section 3.07, (i) Buyer, upon Seller’s request, shall provide Seller with any non-confidential, non-proprietary reports, studies, and other due diligence materials obtained by Buyer in connection with its diligence within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of Seller’s request for same, all without any representation or warranties as to the accuracy of such reports, and (ii) neither party shall have any further liability or obligation under this Agreement, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination. The foregoing obligation of Buyer shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7.05 shall be construed to affect in any way Buyer’s limited indemnity set forth in Section 3.05(b) above (regarding Buyer’s limited indemnity of Seller for third-party claims against Seller arising out of Buyer’s Inspections). If, subject to the terms, conditions and applicable limitations provided herein: (i) Buyer makes a claim against Seller with regard to a representation or warranty which expressly survives Closing, and (ii) Buyer obtains a final and non-appealable judgment against Seller which remains unpaid for a period of ninety (90) days or more, then Seller agrees that Buyer shall have the right to trace the Purchase Price to the extent necessary to satisfy such claim. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer has relied and has the right to rely upon the foregoing in connection with Buyer’s consummation of the Transaction set forth in this Agreement.

 

7.06
Seller’s Sole Remedy. In the event a Buyer Event of Default occurs, Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Buyer of such termination, in which event, Seller shall receive the Earnest Money Deposit as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) and thereafter neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder except as otherwise provided herein. SELLER AND BUYER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SELLER’S DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF A BUYER EVENT OF DEFAULT WOULD BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO ASCERTAIN OR DETERMINE, THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT IS SELLER’S AND BUYER’S BEST AND MOST ACCURATE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT OF A BUYER EVENT OF DEFAULT, AND THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT IS REASONABLE WHEN CONSIDERING ALL OF THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE.

Transaction Characterization.

 

22


 

a.
Buyer and Seller intend that all components of the Transaction be considered a single integrated transaction and not be severable, that Seller’s conveyance of the Property to Buyer be an absolute conveyance in form and substance, and that the Transaction Documents to be delivered at Closing shall not serve or operate as a mortgage, equitable mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, trust conveyance or financing, or trust arrangement of any kind, nor as a preference or fraudulent conveyance against any creditors of Seller. After the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, Seller will have no legal or equitable interest or any other claim or interest in the Property. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall contest the validity, enforceability, or characterization of the sale and purchase of the Property as an absolute conveyance by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, and Buyer and Seller shall support the intent expressed herein that the purchase of the Property by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement provides for an absolute conveyance and does not create a joint venture, partnership, equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or arrangement, security interest, or the like, if, and to the extent that, any challenge occurs.

 

b.
Each of Buyer and Seller hereby agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any Affiliate to, at any time, take any action or fail to take any action with respect to the preparation or filing of any statement or disclosure to a Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, any income tax return (including an amended income tax return), to the extent that such action or such failure to take action would be inconsistent with the intention of Buyer and Seller expressed in this Section 8.02.

a.
Condemnation. Within three (3) Business Days following Seller’s receipt of notice that action has been or will be initiated to take all or any portion of the Property by eminent domain proceedings or by deed-in-lieu thereof (a “Condemnation”), Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer of such Condemnation, and Buyer may elect by the earlier of (1) within five (5) Business Days following Seller’s delivery of such notice to Buyer, or (2) the Closing Date to:

 

(i)
terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit, in which event, Seller and Buyer shall be relieved and discharged from any further obligations or liabilities hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein; or

 

(ii)
proceed to close, in which event, all of Seller’s assignable right, title and interest in and to the award of the condemning authority shall be assigned to Buyer at the Closing and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price.

 

b.
Casualty. Seller assumes all risks and liability for any damage or injury to the Property caused by fire, storm, accident, or any other casualty or cause (a “Casualty”) until Closing. Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer within three (3) Business Days following a Casualty, and if Seller, in its sole discretion, does not elect to fully repair the damage or injury to the Property caused by such Casualty prior to Closing, Buyer may elect by the earlier of (1) within five (5) Business Days following Seller’s delivery of such notice to Buyer, or (2) the Closing Date to:

 

(i)
terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit, in which event, Seller and Buyer shall be relieved and discharged from any further obligations or liabilities hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein; or

 

(ii)
proceed to close, in which event, all of Seller’s assignable right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any insurance policy covering such Casualty (less an amount equal to any expense and cost reasonably incurred by Seller to repair or restore the Property, which shall be payable to Seller upon Seller’s delivery to Buyer of satisfactory evidence thereof) shall be assigned to Buyer at

23


 

Closing, and Buyer shall be entitled to a credit in the amount of Tenant’s (or Seller’s, as the case may be) deductible at Closing.

8.05
Assignment. Buyer may not assign this Agreement without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld or granted in Seller’s reasonable discretion, provided, however, that Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement in whole or in part at any time to any Affiliate of Buyer without the consent of Seller, provided that (i) Buyer shall provide written notice thereof to Seller at least ten (10) days prior to Closing, (ii) in no event shall any assignment hereof by Buyer relieve Buyer of any obligations, covenants, duties, representations, warranties or liabilities hereunder, and (iii) Buyer provides Seller, simultaneous with its written notice of such assignment, a copy of a written assignment agreement signed by Buyer and the assignee pursuant to which the assignee agrees to accept all the burdens and benefits of this Agreement and agrees to be deemed to have made any and all representations and warranties made by Buyer hereunder, as if such assignee were the original signatory hereof. Any attempt by Buyer to assign this Agreement not in compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.05 shall be deemed invalid, null and void and Seller shall have no legal obligation to recognize same. If Buyer consists of more than one Person, then: (1) each reference to Buyer herein shall be deemed to refer to each Person constituting Buyer, both individually and in the aggregate, and (2) each Person constituting Buyer shall be jointly and severally liable for all liabilities and obligations of Buyer hereunder. Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion, sell, assign, transfer, mortgage, convey, encumber, or grant any easements or other rights or interests of any kind in the Property, any of Seller’s rights under this Agreement or any interest in Seller, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law or otherwise, including, without limitation, by merger, consolidation, dissolution, or otherwise.

 

8.06
Brokerage Commission. Each of Buyer and Seller represents and warrants to the other that it has not dealt with, negotiated through or communicated with any broker in connection with this Transaction, except the Brokers. The commission of the Seller’s Broker shall be paid by Seller at Closing pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and the Seller’s Broker. Either Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other party from and against any and all Losses arising from or related to a broker claiming a commission or fee by, through, or under such indemnifying party. Buyer’s and Seller’s respective obligations under this Section 8.06 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

8.07
Reporting Requirements. Buyer and Seller agree to comply with any and all reporting requirements applicable to the Transaction which are set forth in any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, or determination of any Governmental Authority, and further agree, upon request, to furnish the other party with evidence of such compliance.

No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed waived or amended except by a written instrument unambiguously setting forth the matter waived or amended and signed by the party against which enforcement of such waiver or amendment is sought.

Third parties may hold interests in oil, gas, other minerals, geothermal energy or water on or under any Colorado Property, which interests may give them rights to enter and use the such Colorado Property.

 

c.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) have detected elevated levels of naturally occurring radon in structures in the Grand Junction, Colorado, area. EPA has raised concerns with respect to adverse effects on human health of long-term exposure to high levels of radon. Radon tests should be conducted to determine the possible presence of radon in any Colorado Property. Buyer may conduct such other investigations and consult such experts as Buyer deems appropriate to evaluate radon mitigation measures that can be employed in the design and construction of improvements on any Colorado Property. Buyer shall rely solely upon its own investigations and consultations and acknowledges that Seller has not made

27

Seller disclaims, and Buyer, for itself, its successors and assigns, waives any such warranties and other warranties that could be construed to cover radon.

 

8.22
1031 Exchange. Seller and/or Buyer may close the Transaction as part of a like-kind exchange of properties under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable rules and regulations.

The exchanging party shall and does hereby indemnify, defend, and hold the non-exchanging party harmless for and from all liabilities arising as a result of the exchange that would not have arisen had the exchanging party not closed the Transaction as part of a like-kind exchange. Anything in this section to the contrary notwithstanding: (a) neither Buyer nor Seller makes any representation or warranty to the other as to the effectiveness or tax impact of any proposed exchange; (b) in no event shall Buyer or Seller be required to take title to any exchange or replacement property; (c) in no event shall completion of any such exchange be a cause or excuse for any delay in the Closing; and (d) neither Buyer nor Seller, as applicable, shall be required to incur any costs or expenses or incur any additional liabilities or obligations whatsoever in order to accommodate any exchange requested by the exchanging party or any exchange intermediary or facilitator.

d.
Each party hereby acknowledges and agrees that such party’s compliance with this Section 8.23 shall be a condition precedent to each party’s obligation to close under this Agreement, and this Agreement shall terminate after written notice of a failure to timely satisfy same by one party to the other party.

 

8.24
Joint and Several Liability. If Seller is comprised of more than one Person, each Person (excluding any natural person) signing this Agreement as Seller shall be jointly and severally liable to Buyer for the performance of Seller's obligations under this Agreement. Buyer shall have the right to enforce this Agreement against any one or more of the Persons (excluding any natural person) signing this Agreement as Seller, without necessity of joining all of such Persons in such action.

 

8.25
Lender Consents and Approvals. Buyer understands that Seller’s transfer of the Property to Buyer as contemplated herein may be subject to or require the prior approval of Seller’s lender(s). As such, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained within this Agreement, the obligation of Seller to close on the sale and purchase of the Property pursuant to this Agreement shall be and hereby is expressly conditioned upon Seller obtaining the prior written consent, approval and/or partial release from Seller’s lender(s) on or before the Closing Date (collectively, “Lender Consents and Approvals”). Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain the Lender Consents and Approvals on or before the Closing Date. If the foregoing condition precedent shall not have occurred or been satisfied on or before the Closing Date due to any contractual rights or discretion granted to Seller’s lender(s), then Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Buyer and in such event the Earnest Money Deposit will immediately be returned to Buyer and neither party will have any further rights, remedies or obligations hereunder, except those that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. If Seller terminates the Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.25, then Buyer shall receive a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit, together with Buyer’s reasonable, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred with respect to this transaction (not to exceed $45,000) which shall be reimbursed by Seller to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days after Buyer’s delivery of commercially reasonable documentation supporting such costs and expenses.

 

8.26

BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT OR IN ANY CLOSING DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SELLER AND DELIVERED TO BUYER AT OR PRIOR TO CLOSING, SELLER IS TRANSFERRING THE PROPERTY IN “AS IS, WHERE IS CONDITION AND WITH ALL FAULTS” AS OF THE CLOSING DATE AND SPECIFICALLY AND EXPRESSLY WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR GUARANTEES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ITS CONDITION, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, NATURE, OR TYPE WHATSOEVER FROM OR ON BEHALF OF SELLER. BUYER AGREES THAT IT WILL PERFORM SUCH EXAMINATIONS AND
