3.2            Seller Financing. Seller shall provide to Buyer at Closing, Seller financing (the “Seller Loan”) pursuant to the following terms and conditions:

 

3.2.1            The Seller Loan shall be in a principal amount equal to the Purchase Price, as adjusted by the prorations and credits specified herein, less Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00) or such other amount as may be agreed upon in writing by Buyer and Seller.

3.2.8            As a condition to Seller’s obligation to provide the Seller Loan, the Title Company shall be irrevocably and unconditionally committed to issuing to Seller at Closing an extended coverage lender’s title insurance policy (“Lender’s Title Policy”) with coverage in the principal amount of the Seller Loan and including the Title Endorsements required by Seller, indicating that Seller has a vested first priority lien on the Property pursuant to the Mortgage and in form and substance as otherwise reasonably approved by Seller.

 

4.             Conditions Precedent. The obligation of Buyer to purchase, and Seller to sell the Property as contemplated by this Agreement is subject to satisfaction of each of the following respective conditions precedent (any of which may be waived prior to Closing only in writing and only by the party in whose favor such condition exists) on or before the applicable date specified for satisfaction of the applicable condition. If any of such conditions is not fulfilled (or so waived in writing) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then the party in whose favor such condition exists may terminate this Agreement and, in connection with any such termination made in accordance with this Section 4, Seller and Buyer shall be released from further obligation or liability hereunder (except for those obligations and liabilities which, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, survive such termination and without releasing any party for a breach or default occurring prior to such termination).

 

4.1            Title Matters.

 

4.1.1            Title Commitment. Buyer shall have the right, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to obtain a title commitment covering the Property (“Title Commitment”) from Stewart Title Guaranty Company (which company, in its capacity as title insurer hereunder, is herein called the “Title Company”). In addition, Buyer shall have the right, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to obtain a current ALTA/ACSM survey of the Property (“Survey”). Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer’s surveyor in connection with the preparation of the Survey, including by assisting with providing access to the Property (to the extent not already available to Buyer), subject to the rights of Tenant under the Lease Agreement, and executing such authorization letters as may be reasonably required by Buyer’s surveyor, provided that Seller shall not be obligated to incur any cost, expense, or liability in connection therewith. If Buyer shall fail to deliver the Termination Notice (defined below) on or before the end of the Due Diligence Period (defined below), then Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the typed exceptions to title shown on Schedule “B” of the Title Commitment and the matters disclosed on the Survey. In the event any updated Title Commitment reflects any new or additional exceptions to title or survey matters, then Buyer shall notify Seller and the removal of said new exception or Buyer’s approval of such new matter shown on or before the Closing shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property. Unless Buyer gives written notice that it disapproves any such additional exceptions to title or survey matters, stating the exceptions so disapproved, on or before the later to occur of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or five (5) business days after receipt of written notice thereof (but not later than the Closing Date), Buyer shall be deemed to have approved said additional exceptions or survey matters. If, for any reason, on or before the Closing Date, Seller does not cause any exceptions to title or survey matters which Buyer disapproves (to the extent Buyer is permitted hereunder to so disapprove) to be removed at no cost or expense to Buyer (Seller having the right but not the obligation to do so), then a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close shall not have been satisfied and the obligation of Buyer to buy the Property as herein provided shall terminate (and no party hereto shall have any further obligations in connection herewith except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1.1, Seller shall be obligated to cause the release of any “Seller Encumbrances” (which, as used herein, means (i) any monetary liens created or resulting directly or indirectly by Seller’s actions or omissions (including, without limitation, mortgages and deeds of trust), and (ii) any lis pendens or judgment liens arising as a result of Seller’s actions, that encumber the Land and Improvements, other than mechanics liens arising from the failure of Buyer to pay its bills or as a result of any default by Tenant under the Lease Agreement). Seller may use the Purchase Price to effectuate such release concurrently with the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, “Seller Encumbrances” shall not include and Seller shall have no obligation to cause the release of the following (collectively, “Permitted Liens”): (x) any lien for current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable and for delinquent taxes as a result of Tenant’s default under the Lease Agreement); (y) any lien or encumbrances granted or entered into by or directly resulting from the acts or omissions of Tenant or Buyer or their respective affiliates, employees or agents; or (z) any lien or encumbrance resulting from a default by Tenant under the Lease Agreement or otherwise expressly consented to and approved by Tenant or Buyer or that Tenant requested Seller enter into or grant with respect to the Property. Buyer shall not have any right to disapprove of, object to or otherwise terminate this Agreement as a result of any Permitted Lien.

4.1.2            Title Contingency. A condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property shall be the irrevocable and unconditional written agreement of Title Company to record the “Deed” (defined below) on the Closing Date and to issue to Buyer effective as of the date and time the deed is recorded, an ALTA 2021 Form extended coverage owner’s title insurance policy (“Owner’s Policy”), or equivalent form acceptable to Buyer, with coverage in the amount of the Purchase Price and dated as of the date and time the Deed is recorded, indicating title to the Land (including any easements described herein for the benefit of the Property) and Improvements to be vested of record in Buyer, subject solely to the “Permitted Exceptions” (as defined below), and including the “Title Endorsements” (as defined below). As used herein:

 

Permitted Exceptions” means the following: (1) the lien of any real estate taxes and assessments for the “Current Tax Year” (as defined below) and subsequent periods; (2) such other matters set forth in the Title Commitment or Survey which are approved or deemed approved by Buyer during the Due Diligence Period; and (3) at Closing, the lien of the Mortgage and the Second Lien Mortgage (subject to the parties entering into an intercreditor agreement per the terms herein and in the Seller’s Loan Documents).

 

Title Endorsements” means the endorsements included in any title commitment or proforma or specimen policy issued by the Title Company which Buyer may request include the following endorsements: (a) ALTA 3.1 Zoning; (b) ALTA 8.2 Commercial EPL; (c) ALTA 9.2 CCRs; (d) ALTA 9.9 Private Rights; (e) ALTA 17 Access and Entry; (f) ALTA 17.2 Utility Access; (g) ALTA 18.3 Tax Parcel with PIN; (h) ALTA 19.1 Contiguity; (i) ALTA 22 Location; (j) ALTA 25 Same As Survey; (k) ALTA 26 Subdivision; (l) ALTA 28.1 Encroachments – Boundaries and Easements; (m) Water Rights; (n) Mineral Rights; (o) Deletion of Arbitration; and (p) Fairway.

4.2            Due Diligence Reviews. Except for title and survey matters (which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.1 above) and subject to the limitations herein, Buyer shall have until Closing (the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on such date being herein called the “Due Diligence Period”) within which to perform and complete all of Buyer’s noninvasive due diligence examinations, reviews and inspections of all matters pertaining to the Property, including all Service Contracts, if any, all physical, environmental (including obtaining a current Phase I Environmental Site Assessment and subject to Seller’s approval, a current Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld if recommended by the Phase I) prepared by a third-party environmental consultant), zoning (including obtaining a current zoning report of the Property prepared by a third party zoning consultant) and compliance matters and conditions respecting the Property, provided Seller shall have the right to have its own personnel and consultants present during any such inspections. During the Due Diligence Period, subject to the limitations set forth herein and the Tenant’s rights under the Lease Agreement, Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable access to the Property and its files relating to the Property upon reasonable advance notice and shall also provide to Buyer copies of such Service Contracts and other contracts as Buyer shall reasonably request, all upon reasonable advance notice. Moreover, Seller shall reasonably cooperate (a) with Buyer’s third party zoning consultant in connection with the preparation of any zoning report, and (b) with Buyer’s third party environmental consultant in connection with the preparation of any environmental report; provided that in either case, Seller shall not be obligated to incur any cost, expense, or liability in connection therewith. During any inspections on the Property conducted by or on behalf of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer and/or its agents and consultants entering upon and performing such inspections of the Property shall maintain public liability insurance policies having coverage limits of no less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) annual aggregate with Seller named as an additional insured. Without Seller’s prior consent, Buyer shall not conduct any invasive testing at the Property. If any mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or claim of lien or any other lien, claim, judgment or other encumbrance shall be filed against the Property or any part thereof or against Seller’s interest therein as a result of any labor performed or materials or services furnished to or on behalf of Buyer, Buyer shall, promptly after receipt of notice of the filing thereof, cause the same to be vacated and discharged of record, by payment, bond or otherwise, all of which shall be at Buyer’s sole cost and expense. Buyer shall promptly repair and restore the Property in the event that any inspection or test performed by Buyer requires or results in any damage to the Property and shall leave the Property in substantially the condition it existed prior to such damage; provided, however, that Buyer shall have no obligation to repair, restore, or remediate any pre-existing condition of the Property that is merely discovered by Buyer during such inspection or testing. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver or modification of any of the Tenant’s obligations under the Lease.

 

4.2.1            Indemnity; Review Requirements. Buyer will indemnify, defend, and hold Seller and its affiliates and the Property harmless from and against any mechanics’ liens, personal injury (including death) or physical property damage (or any liability, damage, loss, cost or expense resulting therefrom) caused by Buyer or its employees, agents or contractors in the conduct of its due diligence examinations, reviews and inspections (other than that arising from the discovery of preexisting conditions). The foregoing obligation shall survive any termination of this Agreement. In the event of any termination hereunder (other than by reason of Seller’s default), Buyer shall return all documents and other materials furnished by Seller hereunder and at Seller’s written request and upon reimbursement of Buyer’s actual, documented costs incurred in connection therewith, Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller true, accurate and complete copies of any written reports relating to the Property prepared for or on behalf of Buyer by any third party. Prior to Closing, Buyer shall maintain the confidentiality of all information or data received from Seller in connection with any of the inspections, reviews or examinations; provided, however, that (x) such information or data may be disclosed by Buyer to the extent required by law and to Title Company, surveyors, and Buyer’s attorneys, accountants, representatives, consultants, agents and actual and prospective lenders and all investors provided Buyer instructs each such person or entity to maintain such confidentiality, and (y) the foregoing confidentiality restriction shall not apply to any information or data that is available to Buyer from any other source (other than by reason of a breach by Buyer of such confidentiality restriction).

4.2.2            Termination Right. At any time on or before the last day of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may, in its absolute and sole discretion, for any reason or no reason, give written notice (the “Termination Notice”) to Seller electing to terminate this Agreement, whereupon a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close shall not be satisfied and this Agreement, and the obligations of the parties hereunder, shall terminate (in which event neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder other than those obligations that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement). If Buyer fails to deliver the Termination Notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Buyer shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.2.2. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event that Buyer terminates this Agreement (other than as a result of a Seller default), then Seller shall be entitled to receive reimbursement from Buyer for Seller’s Loan Costs (defined below).

 

4.3            Buyer’s Additional Financing. Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain additional third-party financing (the “Outside Financing”) to fund all or a portion of the Closing Payment; provided, however, that Buyer’s obligation to close hereunder is not conditioned upon Buyer obtaining any Outside Financing and such Outside Financing shall be subordinate in all respects to the Loan Documents and if required by Seller, shall be subject to Seller and the lender of such Outside Financing entering into a commercially reasonable form of intercreditor agreement pursuant to which such lender agrees that its claim on the Property is secondary to Seller’s claim.

 

4.4            Performance by Seller. The performance and observance, in all material respects, by Seller of all covenants and agreements of this Agreement to be performed or observed by Seller prior to or on the Closing Date shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property. Without limitation on the foregoing, in the event that the Seller Closing Certificate (as hereinafter defined) shall disclose any material exception to the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered by Seller in connection herewith which are not otherwise permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon prior written notice to Seller.

 

4.5            Performance by Buyer. The performance and observance, in all material respects, by Buyer of all covenants and agreements of this Agreement to be performed or observed by Buyer prior to or on the Closing Date shall be a condition precedent to Seller’s obligation to sell the Property (except that Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Payment shall not be a condition to Seller’s obligation to execute and deliver the documents described in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 so long as Buyer is ready, willing and able to deliver the Closing Payment upon satisfaction of the conditions to its obligations to close). Without limitation on the foregoing, in the event that the Buyer Closing Certificate (as hereinafter defined) shall disclose any material exception to the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered by Buyer in connection herewith which are not permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, then Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon prior written notice to Buyer.
