3.2.2                                                                                  If, after the date hereof, Purchaser learns, through the Title Report, continuation reports or other written updates thereto, of any title defect(s) which Purchaser claims are not covered by Section 3.1 hereof and “subject to” which Purchaser believes it is not required to accept title, Purchaser shall give written notice thereof to Seller promptly after the date Purchaser receives such Title Report, continuation report or other written update. Purchaser shall be deemed to have unconditionally waived any such matters as to which it fails to give such written notice to Seller within seven (7) Business Days after the date Purchaser receives such Title Report, continuation report or other written update.

 

3.2.3                                                                                  Purchaser and Seller each acknowledges and agrees that TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE with respect to all time periods set forth in this Section 3.2 .

 

3.3                                If, on the Closing Date, Seller is unable to convey to Purchaser title to the Property subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled, upon notice delivered to Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), to reasonable adjournments of the Closing one or more times for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days in the aggregate, but in no event beyond the Outside Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) to enable Seller to convey such title to the Property. If, on or before the date then scheduled for Closing, Seller does not so elect to adjourn the Closing, or if at the adjourned date Seller is unable to convey title subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser may (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent (as hereinafter defined) delivered on the date scheduled for Closing, in which event Escrow Agent shall repay to Purchaser the Downpayment, together with any interest earned thereon (a “ Downpayment Return ”), or (b) elect to close title to the Property upon the terms set forth in Section 3.4 by notice given to Seller, in which event the Closing shall occur no later than five (5) Business Days following such election, even if the same is later than the Outside Closing Date (but in no event earlier than the then scheduled Closing Date). The failure by Purchaser to make an election within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date shall be deemed an election not to close title to the Property and to terminate this Agreement (and the Closing shall be adjourned until the expiration of said ten (10) Business Day Period). If Purchaser shall elect, or be deemed to have elected, to terminate this Agreement, upon the Downpayment Return, this Agreement shall be deemed canceled and become void and of no further effect, and neither party hereto shall have any obligations of any nature to the other hereunder or by reason hereof, except that the provisions of Sections 12, 13, 23 and 30 hereof, and any other provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement, shall survive such termination.  If Seller elects to adjourn the Closing as provided above, this Agreement shall remain in effect for the period or periods of adjournment in accordance with its terms.  Seller shall not be required to take or bring any action or proceeding or any other steps to remove any defect in or objection to title or to fulfill any condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement or to expend any moneys therefor, nor shall Purchaser have any right of action against Seller therefor, at law or in equity, except that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein that may be construed to the contrary, Seller shall pay, discharge or remove of record or cause to be paid, discharged or removed of record at Seller’s sole cost and expense all of the following items (each a “ Required Removal Item ”): (i) Voluntary Liens (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) liens encumbering the Property which (v) are not Voluntary Liens, (w) are not the responsibility of either a Space Lessee under its Space Lease or the Board of Managers pursuant to the Condominium

Documents to pay, discharge or remove of record, (x) are in liquidated amounts, (y) may be satisfied solely by the payment of money (including the preparation or filing of appropriate satisfaction instruments in connection therewith) and (z) do not exceed $750,000.00 in the aggregate (the “ Title Cure Cost Limit ”).  The term “ Voluntary Liens ” as used herein shall mean liens and other encumbrances (other than Permitted Exceptions), whether or not in liquidated sums, which Seller has knowingly and intentionally suffered or allowed to be placed on the Property (which excludes judgments, Violations and federal, state and municipal tax liens and includes mortgages, financing statements and other liens granted by contract, including, without limitation, but subject to Section 38 , the mortgages currently encumbering the Units (the “ Existing Mortgages ”)).  If Seller does not elect to adjourn the Closing to cure a title defect(other than a Required Removal Item, which Seller shall be obligated to cure), or if at the adjourned date Seller is unable to convey title subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement because it has not cured any such title defect (other than a Required Removal Item, which Seller shall be obligated to cure), Purchaser may elect to either: (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Downpayment, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect other than those provisions which expressly survive termination and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder, or (ii) Close subject to such title defects without any abatement or adjustment to the Purchase Price.

 

3.4                                Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.3 above to the contrary, Purchaser may at any time accept such title as Seller can convey, without reduction of the Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined) or any credit or allowance on account thereof or any claim against Seller, except that Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the actual cost of curing all defects in or objections to title to the Property that are not Permitted Exceptions and have not been cured, and (b) the Title Cure Cost Limit less any amounts expended by Seller in curing such defects or objections to title. The delivery and acceptance of the Deeds (as hereinafter defined) by Seller and Purchaser, respectively, shall be deemed to be full performance of, and discharge of, every agreement and obligation on Seller’s and Purchaser’s part to be performed under this Agreement, except for such matters which are expressly stated in this Agreement to survive the Closing.

 

3.5                                The amount of any unpaid taxes, assessments and water and sewer charges which Seller is obligated to pay and discharge, with interest and penalties, may at the option of Seller be paid by Purchaser out of the balance of the Purchase Price, if official bills therefor with interest and penalties thereon figured to said date are furnished to or obtained by the Title Company at the Closing for payment thereof and the Title Company omits from the Title Policy any exception therefor without additional premium or charge.

 

3.6                                If the Property shall, at the time of the Closing, be subject to any liens such as for judgments or transfer, inheritance, estate, franchise, license or other similar taxes or any encumbrances or other title exceptions which would be grounds for Purchaser to reject title hereunder, the same shall not be deemed an objection to title provided that, at the Closing, Seller pays, by Wire Transferred Funds (as hereinafter defined) the amount required to satisfy the same and the same are omitted from the Title Policy without additional premium or charge, or at Seller’s option, allows Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount sufficient to (a) cause the Title Company at the Closing to omit the same as an exception to the Title Policy

(without payment of any additional premium or charge) and (b) satisfy and discharge of record such liens and encumbrances together with the cost of recording or filing such instruments required in connection therewith.

 

3.7                                Other than with respect to such endorsements as may be required in order to render title in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for causing the Title Company, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense to issue any endorsements that Purchaser requires, and the issuance of such endorsements, except as aforesaid, shall not be a condition precedent to Closing or Purchaser’s obligation to perform as required hereunder.

Except as is expressly set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any representation or statement of any kind or nature made or information given by Seller, or any of its direct or indirect members, partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents (collectively, the “ Seller Related Parties ”) with respect to the Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Article 5 does not limit or affect in any way any indemnification provision contained in this Agreement.

 

5.4                                Except for an express representation or warranty under this Agreement, Seller makes no warranty with respect to the presence of Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined) within the Units. Except in connection with the enforcement of its express rights under this Agreement with respect to Seller’s breach of an express representation or warranty with respect to Hazardous Materials or Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser’s consummation of the closing hereunder shall be deemed to constitute an express waiver of Purchaser’s right to cause Seller to be joined in any action brought under any Environmental Laws. The term “ Hazardous Materials ” shall mean (a) those substances included within the definitions of any one or more of the terms “hazardous materials”, “hazardous wastes”, “hazardous substances”, “industrial wastes”, and “toxic pollutants”, as such terms are defined under the Environmental Laws, or any of them, (b) petroleum and petroleum products, including, without limitation, crude oil and any fractions thereof, (c) natural gas, synthetic gas and any mixtures thereof, (d) asbestos and or any material which contains any hydrated mineral silicate, including, without limitation, chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, anthophylite and/or

5.6                                Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser has relied solely upon Purchaser’s own knowledge of the Property based on Purchaser’s due diligence in determining the Property’s physical condition.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser releases and discharges Seller, the Seller Related Parties and their respective successors and assigns from and against any and all claims which Purchaser or any party related to or affiliated with Purchaser (each, a “ Purchaser Related Party ”) has or may have arising from or related to any matter or thing related to or in connection with the Property including the

 

18



 

documents and information referred to herein, the Space Leases and the Space Lessees thereunder, any construction defects, errors or omissions in the design or construction and any environmental conditions, and, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor any Purchaser Related Party shall look to Seller, the Seller Related Parties or their respective successors and assigns in connection with the foregoing for any redress or relief.  This release and discharge shall be given full force and effect according to each of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected claims, damages and causes of action. To the extent required to be operative, the disclaimers and warranties contained herein are “conspicuous” disclaimers for purposes of any applicable law, rule, regulation or order.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall constitute any release by Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, as owner of a condominium unit other than the Property, for contribution from Seller with respect to any asbestos-related claim made by a non-Purchaser Related Party or liability relating to events or circumstances occurring or arising during Seller’s period of ownership of the Units.  The foregoing sentence shall not be construed as, and is not, Seller’s agreement that Seller has any liability for contribution or otherwise to Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, whether as owner of the Property or another condominium unit or otherwise.

 

5.7                                Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser’s due diligence included the opportunity to assess the financial status and credit quality of the Space Lessees. Seller is making no warranties regarding the financial status or credit quality of any Space Lessee either currently or at Closing, and Purchaser assumes the risk between the date hereof and the Closing of any diminution of the financial status or credit quality or any bankruptcy of any Space Lessee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser assumes the risk that between the date hereof and the Closing Date (i) any Space Lessee may default of its obligations under its Space Lease, or may increase the period of its delinquency in payment of rent, or (ii) any Space Lease may be rejected in a bankruptcy proceeding of a Space Lessee, and any such default or rejection shall not constitute or contribute to a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller under this Agreement or to the failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close title hereunder, nor shall Purchaser be entitled to any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price on account thereof or recourse of any kind against Seller.

 

5.8                                The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the Closing and shall not be deemed to have merged into any of the documents executed or delivered at the Closing.

 

6.                                       Apportionments

 

6.1                                At the Closing, the following items shall be apportioned between the parties as of 11:59 PM on the day preceding the Closing Date. Except as hereinafter expressly provided, all prorations shall be done on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year and the actual number of days elapsed to the Closing Date or the actual number of days in the month in which the Closing occurs, as applicable. Any errors in the apportionments pursuant to this Section 6 shall be corrected by appropriate re-adjustment between Seller and Purchaser post-Closing, provided that notice of any such error, with supporting calculations, shall be given by Purchaser to Seller or by Seller to Purchaser, as the case may be, no later than one (1) year after the Closing (or eighteen (18) months with respect to any Overage Rent), and all such

 

19



 

apportionments shall be deemed final as of such date. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, all apportionments shall be made in the manner recommended by the Customs in Respect to Title Closings of the Real Estate Board of New York, Inc., and there shall be no other apportionments. The items to be apportioned are:

 

6.1.1                                                                                  (a)  Fixed rent (including electricity, if applicable) under Space Leases (“ Fixed Rent ”) which is collected on or prior to the Closing in respect of the month in which the Closing occurs (the “ Current Month ”) shall be apportioned on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the Current Month prior to the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to Seller) and the number of days in the Current Month on and after the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to Purchaser). If, at the Closing, any Fixed Rent is unpaid, payments of Fixed Rent thereafter received from such Space Lessee shall be applied and disbursed in the following order and priority:

 

(i)                   First, on account of Fixed Rent owing by such Space Lessee in respect of the Current Month, to be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as provided in Section 6.1.1(a) ;

 

(ii)                Next, to Purchaser, in an amount equal to all other Fixed Rent owing by such Space Lessee in respect of all periods after the Current Month;

 

(iii)    Next, to Seller, in an amount equal to all other Fixed Rent owing by such Space Lessee in respect of all periods prior to the Current Month; and

 

(iv)            The balance, if any, to Purchaser.

 

Each party agrees to remit reasonably promptly to the other the amount of such rents to which such party is so entitled and to account to the other party monthly in respect of same. Seller shall have the right from time to time for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing, unless Space Lessee payments (or disputes with respect thereto) remain pending, then, for a period of up to two (2) years after Closing with respect to such payments, without charge, on reasonable prior notice to Purchaser, to review Purchaser’s rental records with respect to the Property to ascertain the accuracy of such accountings. All such reviews shall be conducted at Purchaser’s (or, if Purchaser elects, its managing agent’s) place of business in New York County during normal business hours at no cost or expense to Purchaser and in a manner which does not interfere with Purchaser’s (or its managing agent’s) business operations or those of its tenants. Purchaser shall have the right from time to time for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing, unless Space Lessee payments (or disputes with respect thereto) remain pending, then, for a period of up to two (2) years after Closing with respect to such payments, on reasonable prior notice to Seller, without charge, to review Seller’s rental records with respect to the Property to ascertain the accuracy of such accountings.  All such reviews shall be conducted at Seller’s place of business in Edison, New Jersey during normal business hours at no cost or expense to Seller and in a manner which does not interfere with Seller’s business operations or those of its tenants.

 

(b)                      If the Closing shall occur prior to the time when any rental payments for fuel pass-alongs, so-called escalation rent or charges based upon real estate taxes,

 

20



 

operating expenses, labor costs, cost of living or consumer price increases, a percentage of sales or like items (collectively, “ Overage Rent ”) are payable for any period which includes the period prior to the Closing, then such Overage Rent for the applicable accounting period in which the Closing occurs shall be apportioned subsequent to the Closing. Purchaser agrees that it will pay over to Seller, within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt thereof, a pro-rated amount of such Overage Rent paid subsequent to the Closing by such Space Lessee based upon the portion of such accounting period which occurs prior to the Closing (to the extent not theretofore collected by Seller on account of such Overage Rent prior to the Closing), and shall account to Seller in respect of the same, subject to Section 6.1.1(d)  below. If, prior to the Closing, Seller shall collect any sums on account of Overage Rent or fixed rent for a year or other period, or any portion of such year or other period, beginning prior but ending subsequent to the Closing, such sums shall be apportioned at the Closing.

 

(c)                       Overage Rent prepaid by Space Lessees or otherwise payable by Space Lessees based on an estimated amount and subject to adjustment or reconciliation pursuant to the related Space Leases subsequent to the Closing shall be apportioned as provided in Section 6.1.1(b)  hereof and, subject to Section 6.1.1(d)  below, shall be re-apportioned as and when the related Space Lessee’s actual obligation for such Overage Rent is reconciled pursuant to the related Space Lease. Purchaser and Seller shall attempt to jointly determine whether the items constituting Overage Rent have been overbilled or underbilled with respect to accounting periods prior to or in which the Closing occurs. If there has been an overbilling and an overbilled amount has been received, Purchaser shall reimburse or credit against Overage Rent next coming due such amount to the Space Lessees which paid the excess amount and Seller shall contribute to such reimbursement or credit in the respective proportions in which the applicable overbilled Overage Rents were previously apportioned between the parties as provided in Section 6.1.1(b) .  If there has been an underbilling, the additional amount may be billed to the Space Lessees who are determined to owe such additional amount, and the parties shall apportion such amount(s) so received in the respective proportions in which Overage Rents were previously apportioned between the parties as provided in Section 6.1.1(b) .  If the parties are unable to agree on whether there has been an overbilling or underbilling, then either party may bring an action to resolve the same and, pending such resolution, Purchaser shall have the right to determine vis-a-vis the Space Lessee, whether there has been an overbilling or underbilling, without prejudice to Seller’s rights if it should win the action.

 

(d)                      Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.1.1(b)  and (c) to the contrary, Overage Rent (included estimated payments on account thereof) relating to (i) the work described in the ACM Letter (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) pre-Closing capital expenditures for which Purchaser is responsible under Section 6.1.8 and post-Closing capital expenditures (in each case to the extent included in “Operating Expenses” under the Space Leases) shall be exclusively apportioned to and retained by Purchaser.  Overage Rent (included estimated payments on account thereof) on account of capital expenditures (to the extent included in “Operating Expenses” under the Space Leases) for which Seller is responsible under Section 6.1.7 shall be exclusively apportioned to and returned to Seller.  Purchaser shall reimburse or credit to Seller at Closing any amount Seller has paid (whether by Common Charges, special

 

21



 

assessments or otherwise) with respect to costs which were incurred for any asbestos removal as a result of or in accordance with the ACM Letter.

 

(e)                       Seller shall be 100% responsible for the payment to any Space Lessee of any overbilled and collected Overage Rent or fixed rent for a period or periods ending prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be 100% responsible for the payment to any Space Lessee of any overbilled and collected Overage Rent or fixed rent for a period or periods commencing on or after the Closing Date. Subject to the provisions in Section  6.1.1(i)(ii) , Seller shall not settle any Space Lessee claim with respect to overbilled Overage Rent or payments on account therefor without Purchaser’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. This clause (e) shall survive the Closing without limitation.

 

(f)                        Amounts payable by Space Lessees on a per-diem or per-use basis in respect of overtime heat, air-conditioning or other utilities or services, freight elevator charges, supplemental water, HVAC and condenser charges, services or repairs and labor costs associated therewith, above standard cleaning and all other items which are payable as reimbursement or payment for above standard overtime services pursuant to such Space Lessee’s Space Lease (collectively “ Reimbursables ”) shall not be adjusted, and shall belong to the party furnishing such utilities, labor or services to such Space Lessee.

 

(g)                       If a Space Lessee is delinquent in the payment of Overage Rent as of the Closing, any subsequent payment by such Space Lessee of Overage Rent shall be applied to any Overage Rent then due and payable and then to the Overage Rent due and payable as of the Closing.

 

(h)                      All unapplied security deposits and advance rentals in the nature of security deposits paid by Space Lessees (or any predecessor thereof) pursuant to Space Leases (“ Security Deposits ”) which are described in Exhibit D , shall be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing or, at the option of Seller, Security Deposits held in cash at Closing shall be credited toward the Purchase Price.  Any transfer fees or charges due in respect of the assignment and/or replacement of any unapplied security deposit comprised of a letter of credit (a “ Security LC ”) shall be borne by Seller. To the extent that any Security LC shall not be transferable as of the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other following the Closing so as to transfer the same to Purchaser or to obtain a replacement letter of credit with respect thereto in favor of Purchaser as soon as practicable after the Closing. Seller shall deliver any such Security LC to Purchaser at the Closing and until any such Security LC shall be transferred or replaced, Seller shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of Purchaser’s certification that an event has occurred under the applicable Space Lease entitling the landlord thereunder to apply the Security Deposit, draw upon the same and deliver the proceeds to Purchaser for Purchaser’s application in accordance with the applicable Space Lease provided that such certification of Purchaser shall contain an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, whereby Purchaser defends, indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against any and all obligations, liabilities, claims, demands, losses, damages, causes of action, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising in connection with such drawing. The provisions of this

 

22



 

Section 6.1.1(h)  shall survive the Closing.  Security deposits applied after the Closing shall not be apportioned and shall belong entirely to Purchaser.

 

(i)

 

(i)   For a period not to exceed six (6) months subsequent to the Closing, Purchaser agrees that it shall include in its regular rent statements to Space Lessees the amount of any Fixed Rent and Overage Rent due to Seller pursuant to this Agreement (which shall nevertheless be payable to Purchaser for apportionment as herein provided); provided , however , that Purchaser shall not be required to institute legal proceedings for the collection of such sums or incur any additional expense in connection therewith.  In addition, statements to Space Lessees shall also include bills with respect to the cost of utilities (including, without limitation, for electricity and chilled water) for the most recent quarter that had not yet been settled by the property manager or settled but not yet billed to the Space Lessees, until such amounts have been collected from the Space Lessees.

 

(ii)  Prior to the Closing, Seller may bring an action against any Space Lessee for which an arrearage exists, and subsequent to the Closing, Seller shall retain the right to bring a separate and independent cause of action for money damages only against any Space Lessee as to which an arrearage exists as of the Closing, it being understood and agreed that Seller shall have no right, from and after the date hereof, to terminate any Space Lease, bring an action for eviction against a Space Lessee or seek any other remedy, without Purchaser’s prior written consent, exercisable by Purchaser in its sole discretion, and any amounts collected shall be apportioned in accordance with this Section 6.1.1 , provided, however, Seller may settle or compromise any such claim or action relating to such Space Lessee’s Overage Rent payments due and owing from 2015 and/or prior years and obtain a release from any Space Lessee with respect thereto, after reasonable consultation with Purchaser but without the consent of Purchaser, provided that any such settlement or compromise shall not amend or waive any rights of the landlord under such Space Lease with respect to subsequent periods.  For clarity, any settlement of the Overage Rent relating to 2015 and/or prior years between Seller and a Space Lessee solely concerning the amount and/or a payment plan of a settlement amount shall not be subject to Purchaser approval or consent. At any time after Seller commences any such action, Purchaser, at its sole option, may purchase the arrearage from Seller for an amount equal the arrearage which exists as of the Closing or, if less, the then outstanding amount. Thereafter Purchaser shall be the sole party entitled to bring an action or proceeding (or maintain the action commenced by Seller) against any Space Lessee for which such payment has been made by Purchaser to Seller.  All payments thereafter received in respect of the arrearage by Purchaser shall be retained by Purchaser.

 

6.1.2                                                                                  Except to the extent required to be paid by Space Lessees directly to the applicable taxing authority pursuant to the related Space Leases, real estate taxes, BID charges or assessments, unmetered water and sewer charges and vault charges, if any, and any and all other municipal or governmental assessments of any and every nature levied or imposed upon the Property in respect of the current fiscal year (the “ Fiscal Tax Year ”) of the applicable taxing authority in which the Closing Date occurs (the “ Current Tax Year ”), shall be apportioned on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the Current Tax Year prior to

 

23



 

the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to and paid by Seller on or prior to Closing) and the number of days in the Current Tax Year on and after the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to Purchaser). If the Closing shall occur before the tax rate for the Current Tax Year is fixed, the apportionment of real estate taxes shall be upon the basis of the tax rate for the next preceding fiscal period applied to the latest assessed valuation. Promptly after the new tax rate is fixed for the fiscal period in which the Closing takes place, the apportionment of real estate taxes shall be recomputed.  In the event that the tax rate for the Current Tax Year is adjusted after the Closing Date, the adjusted tax rate shall be deemed to apply to real estate taxes for the entire Current Tax Year, and the installments of real estate taxes payable in respect of the Property for the Fiscal Tax Year shall be recalculated to reflect the new tax rate for the purposes of apportionment hereunder. Upon the Closing Date and subject to the adjustment provided above, Purchaser shall be responsible for real estate taxes and assessments levied or imposed upon the Property payable in respect of the Current Tax Year and all periods after the Current Tax Year. In the event that any assessments levied or imposed upon the Property are payable in installments, the installment for the Current Tax Year shall be prorated in the manner set forth above and Purchaser hereby assumes the obligation to pay any such installments due on and after the Closing Date. A refund of real estate taxes and assessments levied or imposed upon the Property in respect of the Current Tax Year shall be collectable by Purchaser and applied first to the reimbursement or credit to be given to Space Lessees for overbilling of Overage Rent pursuant to the third sentence of Section 6.1.1(c) , with any balance to be apportioned between Purchaser and Seller.

 

6.1.3                                                                                  Common Charges (as defined in the Declaration) and any other charges and expenses payable in respect of the Units, determined to be due by the Board of Managers of the Condominium (the “ Board of Managers ”) shall be apportioned for the month of Closing on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in such month, which shall be allocated to Seller for the number of days of such month prior to Closing and allocated to Purchaser for the number of days in such month on and after the Closing Date.  Any other such charges and expenses for liabilities in respect of the Units that are due and payable or accrued as of the Closing Date shall be allocated to Seller; provided that (i) when Common Charges (and any other charges determined to be due by the Board of Managers payable in respect of the Units that trued-up quarterly) are trued up at the end of the applicable quarter, the apportionment made as of the Closing pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 6.1.3 shall be adjusted on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in such quarter, which shall be allocated to Seller for the number of days in such quarter prior to Closing and allocated to Purchaser for the number of days in such quarter on and after the Closing Date and (ii) any charges that are not imposed on a per-diem or per-use basis shall not be apportioned and shall be paid exclusively by whichever of Seller or Purchaser owned the Property when the charge was incurred.  Any refund of Common Charges in respect of the year in which the Closing occurs shall be collectable by Purchaser and applied first to the reimbursement or credit to be given to Space Lessees for overbilling of Overage Rent pursuant to the third sentence of Section 6.1.1(c) , with any balance to be apportioned between Purchaser and Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall reimburse or credit to Seller at Closing any portion of Condominium charges or assessments paid by Seller during calendar year 2016 prior to Closing with respect to the asbestos removal project identified in that certain letter, dated February 17, 2016, from Cushman & Wakefield to Joseph Fadell of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and Brian McClean of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the “ ACM Letter ”).

7.3.2                                                                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Bring-Down Certificate (as defined below), or other written communication from Seller to Purchaser with reference to the representation or warranty involved, gives notice to Purchaser of one or more Breaches, or prior to the Closing Purchaser otherwise has knowledge of one or more Breaches (which shall be defined for purposes of this Section 7.3.2 and Section 7.4 in accordance with the last paragraph of 7.2 but shall also include Breaches of which Seller expressly notifies Purchaser as a “Breach” in writing), which, in the aggregate, would not result in an adverse economic impact (“ Damage ”) to Purchaser or the Property (taken together with, but without duplication of, any amount described in clause (i) of the definition of Compliant Estoppel below) greater than $50,000.00 (the “ Threshold ”), Purchaser shall not be entitled to refuse to close title by reason thereof.

 

7.3.3                                                                                  If the Bring-Down Certificate, or other written communication from Seller to Purchaser with reference to the representation or warranty involved, gives notice to Purchaser of one or more Breaches, or prior to the Closing Purchaser otherwise has actual knowledge of one or more Breaches, which, in the aggregate, would cause Damage (taken together with any amount described in clause (i) of the definition of Compliant Estoppel below) in excess of the Threshold, and if Seller fails to cure any such Breach or Breaches, as provided in Section 7.4 below, Purchaser, as its sole remedy, may elect to either (i) waive such Breach or Breaches and close title to the Property, and receive a credit equal to the Threshold to be applied against the Purchase Price, or (ii) avail itself of the remedies set forth in Section 10.2 .  If Purchaser has elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (ii) immediately above, Purchaser shall be entitled immediately to a Downpayment Return and, upon the Downpayment Return, except with respect to the obligations which expressly survive termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be null and void and the parties shall have no further obligation to each other.

 

7.3.4                                                                                  After the Closing, Purchaser may deliver a Claim Notice only if Purchaser becomes aware of one or more Breaches of which it did not have actual knowledge prior to the Closing and which results in the aggregate in Damage which exceeds the Threshold (less any Damage waived by Purchaser in closing as described in Section 7.3.2 ) and less any amount described in clause (i) of the definition of Compliant Estoppel below).

 

7.3.5                                                                                  The aggregate liability of Seller arising by reason of or in connection with all alleged Breaches asserted after the date of Closing shall not in any event exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) (and, in addition, the prevailing party in any litigation arising from a Breach shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable legal fees and expenses in connection therewith, provided that, if Purchaser is the prevailing party and Sullivan & Cromwell LLP acted on its behalf, in lieu of reimbursing Purchaser’s reasonable legal fees and expenses, Seller shall pay Purchaser an amount equal to the reasonable legal fees and expenses Purchaser would have paid if it were an unaffiliated client of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP).

 

7.3.6                                                                                  The terms and provisions of this Section 7.3 shall survive the Closing and/or termination of this Agreement.

 

35



 

7.4                                Until Closing .  If Purchaser has knowledge of any matter which would constitute a Breach or Breaches which (when aggregated with other Breaches of which Purchaser previously had knowledge, exceed the Threshold) Purchaser shall notify Seller of such Breach or Breaches (or such new Breach and the previously known Breaches, as applicable), within the earlier of five (5) Business Days of acquiring knowledge of same or the Closing Date, failing which Purchaser shall be deemed to waive any such Breach or Breaches of Seller’s representations and warranties.  Seller shall have the right to contest Purchaser’s determination as to a Breach, and shall have the right to attempt to cure such Breach without being obligated to complete such cure.  In addition, Seller shall have until the date that is the later of the originally scheduled Closing Date or thirty (30) days from the date of Purchaser’s notice to cure any such Breach and, at Seller’s sole option, the Closing Date shall be extended to such thirtieth (30th) day (or any earlier business day) after Purchaser’s notice to permit such cure by Seller, but in no event later than the Outside Closing Date.

10.                                Limitation on Liability of Parties

 

10.1                         In the event Purchaser shall default in the performance of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement and the Closing does not occur as a result thereof (a “ Purchaser Default ”), Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be, and Seller shall be entitled, to retain the Downpayment and any interest earned thereon as and for full and complete liquidated and agreed damages for Purchaser’s default, and Purchaser shall be released from any further liability to Seller hereunder, except that the provisions of Sections 12, 13, 23 and 30 hereof, and any other provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement, shall survive. SELLER AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER UPON A PURCHASER DEFAULT AND THAT THE DOWNPAYMENT AND ANY INTEREST EARNED THEREON REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT THAT SELLER WOULD SUFFER UPON A PURCHASER DEFAULT. SUCH LIQUIDATED AND AGREED DAMAGES ARE NOT INTENDED AS FORFEITURE OR A PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF APPLICABLE LAW.

 

10.2                         In the event of a failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder (occurring as a result of Seller’s default hereunder) which Purchaser is unwilling to waive, or if Seller shall be unable to convey title to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement, Purchaser may, as its sole remedy in such event, elect to terminate this Agreement, and in such event Escrow Agent shall make a Downpayment Return, and upon the Downpayment Return, each party shall be released and discharged from any further liability to the other hereunder, except that the provisions of Sections 12 , 13 , 23 and 30 hereof, and any other provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement, shall survive.

 

10.3                         In the event that Seller shall Willfully Default (as hereinafter defined) in the performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and the Closing does not occur as a result thereof, Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be, and Purchaser shall be entitled, to either (a) seek specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder, provided that any such action for specific performance must be commenced within thirty (30) days after such default or (b) instruct Escrow Agent to make a Downpayment Return and, in the latter event, within ten (10) days after request therefor, Seller shall pay to Purchaser its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with Purchaser’s due diligence of the Property and proposed financing of the acquisition contemplated herein (including its proposed lenders’ due diligence costs and legal fees, but excluding any amount for Purchaser’s own legal representation which

 

40



 

shall not be reimbursed by Seller) (collectively, “ Purchaser’s Costs ”, but in no event in an amount in excess of $200,000).

 

10.4                         “Seller’s Willful Default” shall mean Seller’s willful refusal to perform its obligation to convey the Property to Purchaser in accordance with terms of this Agreement, provided:  (1) the reasons for such refusal do not include conditions beyond Seller’s control or the unmarketability of title (subject to Seller’s compliance with its express obligations under Section 3.3 ); and (2) Purchaser has satisfied, or is able to satisfy by the Closing Date in all material respects all conditions required to be satisfied by it under this Agreement, is not otherwise in default in any material respect under this Agreement and is ready, willing and able to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and to deliver the Purchase Price due Seller under this Agreement.  In no event shall Purchaser bring an action against Seller for damages or seek any remedy (whether or not in an action at law or in equity) against Seller that could require Seller to pay any monies to Purchaser whether characterized as damages or otherwise (except for an action to compel Escrow Agent to return the Downpayment to Purchaser if Purchaser is, in fact, entitled to the return thereof in accordance with this Agreement and/or to pay any amount owed by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.3 or 10.3(b) ).

11.                                Fire or Other Casualty, Condemnation

 

11.1                         Seller agrees (a) to maintain Seller’s property insurance as shown on Exhibit J or other commercially reasonable property insurance (“ Casualty Insurance ”) in full force and effect through the Closing, and (b) to give Purchaser reasonably prompt notice of any fire or other casualty occurring at the Property of which Seller obtains knowledge, between the date hereof and the date of the Closing, or of any actual or threatened condemnation, in writing, of all or any part of the Property of which Seller obtains knowledge.

 

11.2                         If prior to the Closing there shall occur damage to a Unit or the Building caused by fire or other casualty, the Closing shall be adjourned for up to twenty (20) days (but in no event, later than the Outside Closing Date), or for such longer period (not to exceed the earlier of (x) sixty (60) days or (y) the Outside Closing Date) as may be reasonably required in order to permit (a) Purchaser’s architect or engineer to estimate the cost to repair or restore the Unit(s) to its condition immediately prior to such casualty (the “ Estimated Repair Cost ”) and (b) allow Seller and Purchaser to receive from either (A) the Board of Managers, as to loss covered by the insurance carried by the Condominium, or (B) the insurers under Seller’s Casualty Insurance (i) confirmation that such loss is an insured loss and (ii) an estimate of the amount of insurance proceeds payable in respect thereof (the items described in clauses (i) and (ii) being herein referred to as the “ Insurer’s Loss Payable Statement ”).  If, prior to the Closing, a fire or other casualty causes damage to a Unit and/or the Building and either (1) the Estimated Repair Cost is $10,000,000 or more, or (2) one or more Space Lessees occupying more than 25% of the rentable square feet of the Units is or is reasonably likely to be entitled to terminate its or their Space Leases (which right has not been waived), (either of clauses (1) or (2) being herein referred to as a “ Material Casualty ”) or there shall occur a taking by condemnation of any

 

41



 

material portion of either Unit or the Building or of access to the Building or a Unit (a “ Material Taking ”), then, and in either such event, Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller within (A) in the case of a fire or other casualty, ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Insurer’s Loss Payable Statement, and (B) in the case of a condemnation, ten (10) Business Days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice referred to in Section 11.1 hereof, in which event Escrow Agent shall promptly make a Downpayment Return, this Agreement shall thereupon be null and void and neither party hereto shall thereupon have any further obligation to the other, except that the provisions of Sections 12 , 13 , 23 and 30 hereof, and any other provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement, shall survive such termination. For clarity, Purchaser shall also have the termination right described in the immediately preceding sentence if the Casualty Insurance insurers do not confirm that such loss is an insured loss.

 

11.3                         If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, then (a) the Closing shall take place as herein provided, (b) Seller shall at the Closing (i) assign to Purchaser, all of Seller’s interest in and to any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards which may be payable to Seller on account of any such fire, casualty or condemnation, and (ii) credit to Purchaser on account of the Purchase Price (A) any such proceeds (as reflected in the Insurer’s Loss Payable Statement) or awards theretofore paid to Seller, and (B) the amount of any applicable insurance deductible.

11.4                         If, prior to the Closing, there shall occur (a) damage to either Unit or the Building caused by fire or other casualty which is not a Material Casualty (and, as to which Purchaser does not have a termination right under the last sentence of Section 11.2 ) or (b) a taking by condemnation of any part of a Unit or the Building which is not a Material Taking, then, and in either such event, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement by reason thereof, but Seller shall at Closing, assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s interest in any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards payable to Seller on account of any such fire, casualty or condemnation, and shall credit to Purchaser on account of the Purchase Price (A) any such proceeds (as reflected in the Insurer’s Loss Payable Statement) or awards theretofore paid to Seller, and (B) the amount of any applicable insurance deductible. The proceeds of rent interruption insurance, if any, shall on the Closing Date be appropriately apportioned between Purchaser and Seller.

 

11.5                         Nothing contained in this Section 11 shall be construed to impose upon Seller any obligation to repair any damage or destruction caused by fire or other casualty or condemnation.

 

11.6                         For purposes of this Section 11 , (a) a taking of a material part of a Unit shall mean any taking which, in Purchaser’s reasonable opinion, leaves remaining a balance of the Unit which may not be economically operated (after appropriate restoration) for the purpose for which the Unit was operated or intended to be operated prior to such taking, taking into account the Purchase Price to be paid by Purchaser and (b) taking of a material part of the Building shall mean any taking of an area which is more than fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate rentable area of the Building.

15.                                Survival Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall not survive the Closing provided for herein.  Without limiting other provisions that survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement, as provided herein, the following provisions shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement: Sections 16 through 24 , inclusive, and Sections 31 through 34 , inclusive.

 

16.                                Counterparts; Caption Electronic or PDF format counterparts and signatures of this Agreement shall be fully valid, binding and enforceable as an original for all purposes, even though no counterpart is being executed by all parties.  At such time as each party receives a counterpart or counterparts of this Agreement signed by the other parties, all counterparts so separately executed by each party and delivered to the other parties together shall constitute but one and the same instrument, which may be sufficiently evidenced by one signed counterpart.  The captions contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

45



 

17.                                Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries .  This Agreement (including all exhibits annexed hereto) contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior contemporaneous negotiations and understandings, if any, with respect thereto. This Agreement may not be modified, changed, supplemented or terminated, nor may any obligations hereunder be waived, except by written instrument signed by the party to be charged or by its agent duly authorized in writing or as otherwise expressly permitted herein. The parties do not intend to confer any benefit hereunder on any person, firm or entity other than the parties hereto. The provisions of this Section 17 shall survive the Closing.

 

18.                                Waivers; Extensions .  No waiver of any breach of any agreement or provision herein contained shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof or of any other agreement or provision herein contained. No extension of time for performance of any obligations or acts shall be deemed an extension of the time for performance of any other obligations or acts.

 

19.                                Further Assurances The parties each agree to do such other and further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such instruments and documents (not creating any obligations additional to those otherwise imposed by this Agreement) as either may reasonably request from time to time, whether at or after the Closing, in furtherance of the purposes of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 19 shall survive the Closing. Each party shall cooperate with each other and do all acts as may be reasonably required or requested by the other with regard to the fulfillment of any condition precedent to such other party’s obligations hereunder, including execution of any documents, applications or permits, but the representations and warranties of any party made in this Agreement shall not be affected or released by any investigation or inquiry made by any party or any of its agents or consultants or by any waiver or fulfillment of any such condition.

 

20.                                Assignment .  Except as set forth below, Purchaser shall neither assign its rights nor delegate its obligations hereunder without obtaining Seller’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations hereunder (and, otherwise, this Agreement) and/or designate as the grantee(s), assignee(s) or transferee(s) under the Deeds and other transfer instruments to be delivered at Closing to: (a) Sullivan & Cromwell LLP or any entity or entities, directly or indirectly, controlled or at least fifty-one percent (51%) owned by Sullivan & Cromwell LLP (any such entity, a “ Permitted Assignee ” and, for the avoidance of doubt, any such Permitted Assignee shall also constitute and be referred to hereunder, including, without limitation, under Section 34 , as the “Purchaser”); or (b) solely for the purpose of effectuating an Exchange (as defined in Section 34 herein) for Purchaser, and subject to Section 34 , one or more “exchange accommodation titleholders” (“ EAT ”) (within the meaning of the Revenue Procedure (as defined in Section 34 )) and/or one or more limited liability companies, partnerships, real estate investment trusts, or business trusts or other entities (any of which, a “ Non-Corporate Entity ”), directly or indirectly, owned by any one or more of the Purchaser, entities that would qualify as a Permitted Assignee of Purchaser and/or any one or more EATs; provided , however , and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any such Non-Corporate Entity may then be further assigned, on or prior to the Closing, to any such one or more EATs (and/or to any other Non-Corporate Entity that is, directly or indirectly, wholly-owned by any

 

46



 

such one or more EATs as necessary to enable the Purchaser to effectuate its Exchange. Whereas any such assignment referred to in clause (b) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 34 hereof, any such assignment to a Permitted Assignee referred to in clause (a) above shall be subject to (i) Purchaser assigning to the Permitted Assignee all of its right, title and interest in and to the Downpayment, and (ii) Purchaser delivering to Seller a copy of a fully executed assignment and assumption agreement prior to Closing. Notwithstanding any assignment of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Section 20 , Purchaser named herein shall remain jointly and severally liable with the assignee (although not any EAT or Purchaser Intermediary (defined in Section 34 hereof)) for the payment and performance of all of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.

 

21.                                Pronouns: Joint and Several Liability .  All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the parties may require. The liability of Seller hereunder shall be joint and several. For clarity: Unit A Seller and Unit C Seller shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of Seller hereunder; Unit A Seller shall be liable for (as a principal), and hereby guarantees the performance of, each obligation hereunder of Unit C Seller; and Unit C Seller shall be liable for (as a principal), and hereby guarantees the performance of, each obligation hereunder of Unit A Seller.

 

22.                                Successors and Assigns .  This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of Seller and Purchaser, and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

 

23.                                Escrow

 

23.1                         Escrow Agent shall hold the Downpayment, together with all interest earned thereon, in its escrow account (provided that Seller and Purchaser shall each provide Escrow Agent with a W-9 Form and an Order to Invest), in accordance with the following:

 

23.1.1                                                                           Escrow Agent shall hold the Downpayment, together with all interest earned thereon, in Escrow Agent’s escrow account at JPMorgan Chase and shall cause the Downpayment to earn interest at such bank’s then prevailing insured money market rates on trust account deposits of similar size.  Escrow Agent shall have no liability for any fluctuations in the interest rate paid by such bank on the Downpayment, and is not a guarantor thereof.

 

23.1.2                                                                           If Escrow Agent receives a written notice signed by both Seller and Purchaser stating that the Closing has occurred and that Seller is entitled to receive the Downpayment, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Downpayment, together with the interest earned thereon, to Seller.  If Escrow Agent receives a written notice signed by both Seller and Purchaser that this Agreement has been terminated or canceled, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Downpayment, together with the interest thereon to the party set forth in such notice.

 

23.1.3                                                                           Subject to Section 23.3 , if Escrow Agent receives a written request signed by Purchaser or Seller (the “ Noticing Party ”) stating that this Agreement has been canceled or terminated and that the Noticing Party is entitled to the Downpayment or that the other party hereto (the “ Non-Noticing Party ”) has defaulted in the performance of its obligations hereunder, Escrow Agent shall mail (by certified mail, return receipt requested) a

 

47



 

copy of such request to the Non-Noticing Party. The Non-Noticing Party shall have the right to object to such request for the Downpayment by written notice of objection given to and received by Escrow Agent and the Noticing Party within ten (10) Business Days after the date of Escrow Agent’s giving of such copy to the Non-Noticing Party, but not thereafter.  If Escrow Agent shall not have so received a written notice of objection from the Non-Noticing Party, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Downpayment, together with the interest earned thereon. to the Noticing Party.  If Escrow Agent shall have received a written notice of objection within the time herein prescribed, Escrow Agent shall refuse to comply with any requests or demands on it and shall continue to hold the Downpayment, together with any interest earned thereon, until Escrow Agent receives either (a) a written notice signed by both Seller and Purchaser stating who is entitled to the Downpayment (and interest)  or (b) a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing disbursement of the Downpayment (and interest) in a specific manner, in either of which events Escrow Agent shall then disburse the Downpayment, together with the interest earned thereon in accordance with such notice or order. Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way or to any person for its refusal to comply with any such requests or demands until and unless it has received a direction of the nature described in clause (a) or (b) above.

 

23.2                         Any notice to Escrow Agent shall be sufficient only if received by Escrow Agent within the applicable time period set forth herein.  All notices from Escrow Agent to Seller and/or Purchaser, or from Seller and/or Purchaser to Escrow Agent, provided for in this Section 23 shall be given and addressed to the party to receive such notice at its notice address set forth in Section 14 above (with copies to be similarly sent to the additional persons therein indicated).

 

23.3                         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Escrow Agent shall have received a written notice of objection as provided for in Section 23.1.3 above within the time therein prescribed, or shall have received at any time before actual disbursement of the Downpayment a written notice signed by either Seller or Purchaser disputing entitlement to the Downpayment or shall otherwise believe in good faith at any time that a disagreement or dispute has arisen between the parties hereto over entitlement to the Downpayment (whether or not litigation has been instituted), Escrow Agent shall have the right, upon written notice to both Seller and Purchaser, (a) to deposit the Downpayment, together with the interest earned thereon with the clerk of the Court in which any litigation is pending and/or (b) to take such reasonable affirmative steps as it may, at its option, elect in order to terminate its duties as Escrow Agent, including, without limitation, the depositing of the Downpayment, together with the interest earned thereon with the clerk of the court of competent jurisdiction and the commencement of an action for interpleader, the costs thereof to be borne by whichever of Seller or Purchaser is the losing party, and thereupon Escrow Agent shall be released of and from all liability hereunder except for any previous gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

23.4                         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the other provisions of this Section 23 , prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period, the escrow established hereunder shall be a “sole order” escrow for the benefit of Purchaser (meaning that Escrow Agent shall act solely in accordance with the instructions of Purchaser until the expiration of the Evaluation Period in respect of the

 

48



 

Downpayment).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period, Purchaser delivers notice to Escrow Agent stating that Purchaser has elected to terminate this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall refund to Purchaser the Downpayment without any requirement that Escrow Agent first notify or obtain any approval or consent of Seller as provided above in this Section 23 .  In furtherance of the foregoing, in the event Purchaser so instructs Escrow Agent on or prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period, Escrow Agent agrees that it shall not be permitted to, and shall not, follow any conflicting instructions given by Seller or any third party as to the disposition of the Downpayment but shall instead follow only the instructions of Purchaser in connection therewith.  Seller agrees in such instance not to deliver any conflicting instructions to Escrow Agent for any reason and hereby instructs Escrow Agent to act in respect of the Downpayment solely in accordance with Purchaser’s instructions on or prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period, including instructions of Purchaser to return the Downpayment to Purchaser.

 

23.5                         Escrow Agent is acting hereunder without charge as an accommodation to Purchaser and Seller, it being understood and agreed that Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error in judgment or any act done or omitted by it in good faith or pursuant to court order, or for any mistake of fact or law. Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability in acting upon any document or instrument believed thereby to be genuine. Escrow Agent is hereby released and exculpated from all liability hereunder, except only for willful misconduct or gross negligence. Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give it any notice on behalf of any party has been authorized to do so. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for, and Purchaser and Seller hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify Escrow Agent from and against, any loss, liability or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees (paid to retained attorneys) arising out of any dispute under this Agreement, including the cost and expense of defending itself against any claim arising hereunder.

 

24.                                Tax Proceedings If any proceedings for the reduction of the assessed valuation of the Property (“ Tax Proceedings ”) relating to any tax years ending prior to the tax year in which the Closing occurs are pending at the time of the Closing, Seller reserves and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same in Seller’s sole discretion at no cost or expense to Purchaser, and any refunds or credits due for tax years ending prior to Purchaser’s ownership of the Property shall remain the sole property of Seller (subject to the rights, if any, of Space Lessees thereto, and Seller subsequent to the Closing shall reimburse such Space Lessees in a timely manner and otherwise in accordance with the Space Leases for any amounts owed to such Space Lessees pursuant to such Space Leases). From and after the date hereof until the Closing, Seller is hereby authorized to commence any new Tax Proceedings and/or continue any Tax Proceedings relating to the tax year which the Closing occurs, and in Seller’s sole discretion at its sole cost and expense, to litigate or settle same; provided , however , that Seller shall not settle any such proceeding for the tax year in which the Closing occurs without Purchaser’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Purchaser shall be entitled to that portion of any refund relating to the period occurring from and after the Closing after deduction from the refund of all third-party costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by Seller in obtaining such refund. Upon Closing Purchaser is hereby authorized to commence any new Tax Proceedings and/or continue any Tax Proceedings in respect of the Current Year, and at its sole

 

49



 

cost and expense to litigate or settle same, subject to prior consultation with Seller and that any settlement shall be subject to Seller’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld).  Each party shall deliver to the other, reasonably promptly after request therefor, receipted tax bills and canceled checks used in payment of such taxes and any other documents necessary in connection with the tax proceedings and shall execute any and all consents or other documents, and do any act or thing necessary for the collection of such refund by the party entitled to collect the same hereunder. Each party shall reasonably cooperate with the other, at no out-of-pocket expense to the other, in connection with the prosecution of any such tax reduction proceedings. If any refunds or credits from any Tax Proceedings creates an obligation to reimburse any Space Lessees for Overage Rent paid or to be paid, that portion of such refund or credit received by Seller equal to the amount of such required reimbursement shall be paid by Seller directly to the Space Lessees entitled thereto with respect to time period relating to Seller’s ownership of the Property, provided that any refund received with respect to the tax year in which the Closing occurs shall be dealt with in accordance with Section 6.1.2 .  Purchaser shall have the sole right to prosecute any tax proceedings in respect of the Property relating to any fiscal year ending after the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser at no out-of-pocket expense to Seller in connection with the prosecution of any such tax proceedings. The above provisions of this Section 24 shall survive the Closing. Seller agrees that, provided the Closing occurs prior to May 22, 2016, Seller shall not file with the New York City Department of Finance a Real Property Income and Expense Statement for 2015 (RPIE-2015) and, if the Closing shall have not occurred prior to such date, Seller shall reasonably consult with Purchaser with respect to the contents of such statement prior to its filing.

 

25.                                Security Deposits From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall not apply any Security Deposit.

 

26.                                Maintenance of the Property .  Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, Seller shall operate the Property in the same manner as before the making of this Agreement and, without limiting the foregoing, shall perform in all material respects the obligations of landlord under the Space Leases and use commercially reasonable efforts to require the Space Lessees to perform in all material respects their obligations under the Space Leases. Seller shall not remove or transfer to any third party any Personal Property after the date hereof, except for repair or replacement thereof or in the ordinary course of business. Seller shall not commence any new capital projects at the Property.

 

27.                                Leasing and Contracts From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall not enter into any Material Transaction without in each case obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent thereto, which consent may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion. A “ Material Transaction ” means a new Space Lease or Service Contract affecting the Property (except a Service Contract that is terminable by Seller as of the Closing Date and, unless Purchaser otherwise elects in a timely manner under Section 5.1.8 , is in fact terminated by Seller as of the Closing), or any amendment, expansion, extension or renewal thereof (except to the extent Seller, as lessor, is expressly required to agree to or grant the same pursuant to such Space Lease), or permitting any Space Lessee to enter into any sublease, assignment or agreement pertaining to the Property (except as expressly permitted to such Space Lessee without lessor’s consent under such Space Lessee’s Space Lease), or waiving, compromising or settling any

 

50



 

rights of Seller or lessor under any Service Contract or Space Lease, or terminating any Space Lease, or returning any Security Deposit (except as expressly required by a Space Lessee’s Space Lease).  If the Closing shall occur, Purchaser shall be responsible for the rent credits and other tenant costs described in the proviso of Section 6.1.5 and leasing commissions and all other leasing costs payable in connection with any new Space Lease or any amendment, expansion, extension or renewal of an existing Space Lease approved by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 27 .

 

51



 

28.                                Estoppels .   Promptly after the Effective Date, Seller shall request and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each Space Lessee an estoppel (“ Estoppel ”) which shall be either (1) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Q and made a part hereof or (2) in the event any Space Lease provides for the form of Estoppel that the Space Lessee thereunder shall be required to deliver to the landlord under such Space Lease or set(s) forth the matters to be contained in such an Estoppel in connection with a sale of all or any part of the Property, in such form or containing those matters required to be addressed by such Space Lessee. Seller shall deliver copies of each executed Estoppel to Purchaser for its review within four (4) Business Days after receipt thereof. Purchaser shall approve or reject such Estoppel delivered to Purchaser within four (4) Business Days after receipt thereof.  Failure to reject or approve any such Estoppel within such four (4) Business Day period shall be deemed to be a Compliant Estoppel (as hereinafter defined). As a condition to Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the Required Estoppels dated no earlier than the Estoppel Cutoff Date. As used herein: (a) “ Required Estoppels ” means Compliant Estoppels from (i) each Space Lessee with a Space Lease affecting more than one floor (and, for clarity, not affecting only one floor or less) and (ii) Space Lessees under Space Leases that, together with the rentable square feet leased by the Space Lessees referred to in clause (i), lease at least eighty percent (80%)  of the rentable square feet in the Units; (b) “ Compliant Estoppels ” are Estoppels executed and delivered by the Space Lessee in question (and, if a Space Lessee’s obligations are guaranteed, by the guarantor) that (i) do not allege a material default by, or material dispute with, landlord, or (except as disclosed in Seller’s representations and warranties herein or as otherwise excepted in this Section 28 ) any right of offset, defense, claim or counterclaim to the payment of rent or other sums, or the performance of Space Lessee’s other obligations or any right to payment or reimbursement from Seller, up to an amount not to exceed the Threshold in the aggregate with other Estoppels and with any Damage under Section 7.3.2 , but without duplication thereof, (ii) do not contain any material information that differs in any material respect from the Space Leases provided to Purchaser as of the Effective Date and (iii) are otherwise consistent with the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 7.1 of this Agreement with respect to Space Leases and the obligations of the lessor thereunder; and (c) the “ Estoppel Cutoff Date ” means the sixtieth (60 th ) day prior to the Closing Date, plus the number of days that Purchaser adjourns the Closing Date pursuant to Section 4.4 . Seller shall forward to Purchaser copies of any written notice of default delivered to or received from any Space Lessee or written correspondence with a Space Lessee in respect of an actual or alleged default under its Space Lease.  In the event that Seller is unable to obtain Compliant Estoppels from a sufficient number of Space Lessees to meet the Required Estoppels, then, Seller may, at its option, deliver one or more certificates in lieu thereof in substantially the same form as the form of Estoppel attached hereto as Exhibit Q that would, but for its execution by Seller, constitute a Compliant Estoppel (each, a “ Seller Certificate ”) with respect to Space Leases covering no more than twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate occupied square footage on the date hereof, which, together with the Compliant Estoppels actually received, will cover at least the Required Estoppels, and Seller shall by virtue thereof be deemed to have fulfilled the conditions set forth in this Section 28 to deliver Compliant Estoppels from the Required Estoppels.  Seller’s liability under any Seller Certificate with respect to a Space Lease shall expire on the date of delivery to Purchaser of a Compliant Estoppel from the Space Lessee under such Space Lease.  Seller’s failure to deliver Compliant Estoppels (or Seller Certificates, as applicable) under this Section 28 shall constitute a failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder and not a default by Seller, and Purchaser shall

 

52



 

not be entitled to specific performance of such obligation of Seller to deliver such Compliant Estoppels.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, claims of any Space Lessee set forth in any Estoppel shall not be deemed (alone or in combination with other matters), to cause such Estoppel not to be a Compliant Estoppel in the event such claims are (i) disclosed in writing to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period, or (ii) an assertion by any Space Lessee that there are amounts due from Seller to such Space Lessee allocable to periods prior to the Closing and which, under the terms of this Agreement, Seller has agreed to pay, or (iii) any assertion or dispute regarding the Overage Rent relating to or arising out of the settlement process concerning 2015 and/or any prior years, or (iv) below the Threshold (less any Damage, except to the extent Seller has cured, or provided Purchaser with a credit for, such Damage under Section 7.3.2 or Section 7.3.3 ) and submitted prior to Estoppels with claims in the aggregate exceeding the Threshold (less any Damage, except to the extent Seller has cured, or provided Purchaser with a credit for, such Damage under Section 7.3.2 or Section 7.3.3 ) (for example, assuming there is no Damage (or that all Damage has been cured or credited by Seller), if three Estoppels are submitted with claims of $20,000 each, the first two Estoppels shall be deemed to be Compliant Estoppels and the third, which exceeds the Threshold in the aggregate with the first two Estoppels, shall not be a Compliant Estoppel).  Seller shall not be required to expend any money, provide financial accommodations or commence any litigation in connection with obtaining such Estoppels.  Seller shall be entitled to one or more adjournments of the Closing Date, not to exceed (including all of Seller’s other adjournments under this Agreement) thirty (30) days in the aggregate, but not beyond the Outside Closing Date, to obtain Estoppels or Seller Certificates, but shall have no liability to Purchaser for failing to obtain the Estoppels or Seller Certificates, as such inability to deliver such Estoppels or Seller Certificates shall be a failure of a condition and not a default hereunder.

 

29.                                Condominium

 

(a)                                  Seller will perform and comply with all material terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Condominium Documents, the rules and regulations of the Condominium and any other documents creating or governing the Condominium applicable to the Units.  Seller will comply with all of the requirements set forth in Paragraph 18(d) of the Declaration with respect to the proposed sale of the Units to Purchaser. Seller will not take, permit, suffer or allow any action to modify or amend the Condominium Documents without Purchaser’s consent, which consent may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion.

 

(b)                                  If required by the Board of Managers pursuant to Subparagraph 18(d) of the Declaration, as a condition to the Purchaser acquiring the Unit, Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser acceptable to the Board of Managers, shall deliver to the Board of Managers an unconditional guaranty of the obligations of Purchaser.

 

(c)                                   Purchaser acknowledges that its affiliate is the owner of a unit in the Condominium and has designated individuals as members of the Board of Managers.  Purchaser agrees that it shall cause its affiliate to cause its designated Board of Manager members to cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner in connection

 

53



 

with granting or issuing any consents, estoppels or other deliverables from the Board of Managers that Seller is required to seek and/or obtain hereunder  and that Purchaser shall otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents, estoppels or other deliverables (provided that such agreement shall not require such affiliate or the Board of Managers to waive or modify any term or condition of the Declaration or the By-laws).

 

(d)                                  Seller agrees that it shall cause its designated Board of Manager members to cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner in connection with granting or issuing any consents, estoppels or other deliverables from the Board of Managers that Seller is required to seek and/or obtain hereunder and that Seller shall otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents, estoppels or other deliverables (provided that such agreement shall not require Seller to expend any material sums that it is not otherwise obligated to expend under the Declaration or the By-laws).

 

(e)                                   At Purchaser’s request, Seller shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to divide one or both of the Units into additional “units” to the extent and in the manner permitted under the Declaration, the By-laws and applicable laws and regulations, provided that any such division shall not be effective earlier than the Closing. Purchaser shall reimburse Seller’s out-of-pocket third party costs reasonably incurred in Seller’s compliance with any such request.

 

(f)                                    At Purchaser’s request, Seller shall execute and deliver at the Closing an amendment to the Declaration substituting Purchaser or its permitted designated grantee(s) in the Deeds for Seller in the same form delivered in connection with Seller’s acquisition of the Units.

 

30.                                Confidentiality; Public Disclosure .  Prior to Closing and except as set forth below, Seller and Purchaser covenant and agree not to communicate the terms or any aspect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to any person or entity and to hold, in the strictest confidence, the content of any and all information in respect of the Property which is supplied by Seller to Purchaser or by Purchaser to Seller, without the express written consent of the other party; provided , however , that Seller may, without consent, disclose the terms hereof and the transactions contemplated hereby to its respective advisors, consultants, officers, directors, principals, investors, attorneys, accountants and lenders and Purchaser may, without consent, disclose the terms hereof and the transactions contemplated hereby to its Permitted Outside Parties (collectively, the “ Transaction Parties ”), so long as any such Transaction Parties to whom disclosure is made are instructed to keep all such information confidential in accordance with the terms hereof and (b) if disclosure is required by law or by regulatory or judicial process or pursuant to any regulations promulgated by either the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange or other public exchange for the sale and purchase of securities, provided that in such event Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, shall notify the other party in writing of such required disclosure, shall exercise all commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the confidential documents or information, as the case may be, including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with the other party, at such other

31.1                         This Agreement has been negotiated, executed and delivered and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York from time to time in effect, without giving effect to the State of New York’s principles of conflicts of law, except that it is the intent and purpose of Seller and Purchaser that the provisions of Section 5 -1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York shall apply to this Agreement. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE TRIED AND LITIGATED IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, THE STATE OF NEW YORK, UNLESS SUCH ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARE REQUIRED TO BE BROUGHT IN ANOTHER COURT TO OBTAIN SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION OVER THE MATTER IN CONTROVERSY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT ANY PARTY HERETO MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, TO ASSERT THAT ANY PARTY HERETO IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS OR TO OBJECT TO VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 31. 1 .  SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUFFICIENT FOR PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO, MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO ANY SUCH PARTY’S ADDRESS INDICATED IN SECTION 14 HEREOF.

 

31.2                         EACH OF SELLER AND PURCHASER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE OTHER PARTY HERETO UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, ANY AND EVERY RIGHT EACH OF SELLER AND PURCHASER MAY HAVE TO (A) INJUNCTIVE RELIEF (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY), (B) A TRIAL BY JURY, (C) INTERPOSE ANY

 

55



 

COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN (EXCEPT FOR ANY COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM WHICH, IF NOT ASSERTED IN SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, WOULD BE WAIVED), AND (D) HAVE THE SAME CONSOLIDATED WITH ANY OTHER OR SEPARATE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

 

32.                                Independent Counsel .  Seller and Purchaser each acknowledge that:  (a) they have been represented by independent counsel in connection with this Agreement; (b) they have executed this Agreement with the advice of such counsel; and (c) this Agreement is the result of negotiations between the parties hereto and the advice and assistance of their respective counsel. The fact that this Agreement was prepared by Seller’s counsel as a matter of convenience shall have no import or significance to the construction of this Agreement. Any uncertainty or ambiguity in this Agreement shall not be construed against Seller because Seller’s counsel prepared this Agreement in its final form.

 

33.                                Non-Liability .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (other than Section 34 ), none of the Seller Related Parties shall have any personal obligation or liability hereunder, and Purchaser shall not seek to assert any claim or enforce any of its rights hereunder against any of the Seller Related Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no party related to or affiliated with Purchaser (including without limitation none of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP or any partner thereof) (each, a “ Purchaser Related Party ”) shall have any personal obligation or liability hereunder, and Seller shall not seek to assert any claim or enforce any of its rights hereunder against any of the Purchaser Related Parties.

 

34.                                MCR as Post-Closing Guarantor .  Purchaser agrees that, following the Closing, Seller may distribute the net sale proceeds from the Closing notwithstanding Seller’s obligations hereunder that survive the Closing or under any agreement or instrument delivered by Seller at or in connection with Closing, including any Seller Certificate (the “ Post-Closing Obligations ”). To induce Purchaser to agree to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, and in consideration of such agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency are hereby acknowledged, MCR, the sole member of Seller, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Purchaser the full and timely payment and performance of all Post-Closing Obligations. This guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance, and not a guaranty of collection. MCR shall be liable for the Post-Closing Obligations as a primary obligor. MCR hereby irrevocably waives (i) all suretyship, guarantor and similar defenses and rights of subrogation and indemnification, (ii) any right to require Purchaser, in order to enforce the obligations of MCR under this guaranty, to institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Seller or join Seller in any action seeking such enforcement of MCR’s obligations and (iii) any right to receive notice of, or to agree or consent to, any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument delivered at Closing, even (without limitation) if the same would have the effect of increasing or otherwise varying the Post-Closing Obligations or delaying performance of the same, and this guaranty shall extend in all instances to the payment and performance of the Post-Closing Obligations as so amended, modified or waived. If MCR shall breach or fail to timely perform its obligations under this Section 34 , MCR shall upon demand pay to Purchaser all actual reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Purchaser in the enforcement hereof, and any

 

56



 

amounts owed under this Section 34 shall accrue interest, from the tenth (10 th ) day after demand until paid, at a per annum interest rate equal to ten (10) percent plus the prime rate from time to time as published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal or, if less, the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. MCR’s obligations under this guaranty shall not be discharged except by MCR’s or Seller’s performance of the Post-Closing Obligations and then only to the extent of such performance. Any notice delivered to Seller in accordance with the terms of Section 14 shall in all cases also constitute notice to MCR.

 

35.                                Like-kind Exchange .  Purchaser and Seller each understand that the other party (or any of their affiliates) may consummate the purchase or sale of the Property as part of a so-called like-kind or tax-deferred exchange (the “ Exchange ”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, as well as pursuant to Revenue Procedure 2000-37, 2000-2 C.B. 38 (the “ Revenue Procedure ”), and that, notwithstanding anything hereunder to the contrary, each of Purchaser and Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with the exchanging party in connection therewith (including, but not limited to, executing such documents, and acknowledging receipt thereof in writing, as the other party may reasonably request), provided that: (i) Seller shall effect the Exchange through an assignment of its rights, but not its obligations, under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” of Seller (within the meaning of, and as provided in, Treasury Regulations Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)) (“ Seller Intermediary ”) whereby the Seller Intermediary shall not be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating the Exchange; (ii) Purchaser may effect its Exchange through either:  (a) an assignment of its rights, but not its obligations, under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(iii) (“ Purchaser Intermediary ”), whereby the Purchaser Intermediary shall not be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating the Exchange; and/or (b) any assignment referred to in clause (b) of Section 20 ; (iii) the exchanging party shall pay any reasonable additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by either party had the exchanging party not consummated the sale through the Exchange; and (iv) the exchanging party shall, and hereby does, indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any loss, cost, damage, liability or expense which may arise or which the other party may suffer in connection with, an Exchange. Purchaser and Seller shall not by this Agreement or acquiescence to the Exchange by the other of them (1) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or (2) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the exchanging party that the Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Code.  The indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 35 shall survive the Closing.

 

36.                                Assignment of Existing Mortgages .

 

(a)                                  Seller shall cause the holder of any existing mortgage (the “ Mortgage Holder ”) on the Property (the “ Existing Mortgage ”) to execute and deliver an assignment of the Existing Mortgage and endorse the note secured thereby, without recourse, to Purchaser’s lender at the Closing, provided that the Mortgage Holder shall not be required to make any certifications, representations or warranties in accordance therewith (other than it is the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Existing Mortgage and that it has the authority to assign the same.  Seller, as borrower under such indebtedness, has paid interest and principal, if any, due thereunder

 

57



 

substantially in accordance with its terms) .  As of the Effective Date, Seller represents that the outstanding principal amount of the Existing Mortgage is $73,611,234.28. Seller shall not cause the Existing Mortgage to be pre-paid or the principal amount thereof reduced prior to the Closing (other than principal payments required by the terms thereof) unless the Existing Mortgage is not being assigned to Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof. Purchaser shall be responsible for any and all out-of-pocket fees and/or expenses reasonably incurred by the Mortgage Holder in connection with such assignment, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees of the mortgagee in connection with such assignment (but excluding any prepayment or exit fees, or any other charges for which Seller would have been responsible other than by reason of its compliance with this Section 36 ).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the effectiveness of any such transfer to create any mortgage tax savings.  Except as set forth above, neither Seller nor the Mortgage Holder shall have any obligation to execute any other documents or affidavits including, without limitation, the Section 275 affidavit, in connection with assignment of the Existing Mortgage.  Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, the Mortgage Holder, their officers, shareholders, partners, members, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (the “ Seller Indemnified Parties ”) harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, judgment, claim, damage or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses), resulting from or arising out of the assignment of the Existing Mortgage to Purchaser’s lender (except to the extent the same results from a breach of the representations by the Seller or to be provided by the Mortgage Holder as aforesaid) (the “ Indemnity Obligations ”).

 

(b)                                  To induce Seller to agree to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, and in consideration of such agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency are hereby acknowledged, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP (“ S&C ”), the owner of Purchaser, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Seller Indemnified Parties the full and timely payment and performance of all Indemnity Obligations. This guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance, and not a guaranty of collection. S&C shall be liable for the Indemnity Obligations as a primary obligor.  S&C hereby irrevocably waives (i) all suretyship, guarantor and similar defenses and rights of subrogation and indemnification, (ii) any right to require the Seller Indemnified Parties, in order to enforce the obligations of S&C under this guaranty, to institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Purchaser or join Purchaser in any action seeking such enforcement of S&C’s obligations and (iii) any right to receive notice of, or to agree or consent to, any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument delivered at Closing, even (without limitation) if the same would have the effect of increasing or otherwise varying the Indemnity Obligations or delaying performance of the same, and this guaranty shall extend in all instances to the payment and performance of the Indemnity Obligations as so amended, modified or waived.  If S&C shall breach or fail to timely perform its obligations under this Section 36 , S&C shall upon demand pay to the Seller Indemnified Parties all actual reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by any of the Seller Indemnified Parties in the enforcement hereof, and any amounts owed

 

58



 

under this Section 36 shall accrue interest, from the tenth (10 th ) day after demand until paid, at a per annum interest rate equal to ten (10) percent plus the prime rate from time to time as published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal or, if less, the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. S&C’s obligations under this guaranty shall not be discharged except by S&C’s or Purchaser’s performance of the Indemnity Obligations and then only to the extent of such performance. Any notice delivered to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of Section 14 shall in all cases also constitute notice to S&C.

 

37.                                SNDAs from Space Lessees .  At Purchaser’s request and as an accommodation to Purchaser, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at no out-of-pocket cost to Seller, to have the Space Lessees execute and deliver to Purchaser’s lenders at or prior to the Closing non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreements in such form as Purchaser’s lenders may reasonably request.  Seller shall not be required to commence any litigation in connection with obtaining such SNDAs.  Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser for failing to obtain the SNDAs and delivery of such SNDAs shall not be a condition to Closing (but Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the same, subject to the above terms of this Section 37 ).

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF , the parties have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

MACK-CALI ANNOUNCES $365.5 MILLION IN PROPERTY DISPOSITION AGREEMENTS DURING FIRST QUARTER

 

Sales Comprise Almost Half of the $750 Million Goal Outlined in Strategic Plan

 

Edison, New Jersey—March 15, 2016—Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (NYSE: CLI) today announced that during the first quarter of this year the Company has reached agreements to sell assets in Washington, D.C. and Manhattan for approximately $365.5 million.  The sales are part of the $750 million goal for dispositions outlined last year in the Company’s strategic plan and represent the Company’s exit out of these markets. Mack-Cali is exiting non-core markets in order to pay down debt, fund capital expenditures, and increase holdings in waterfront and transit-based locations, if available, as well as renovate and reposition existing assets.

 

“These deals bring us halfway to our goal of $750 million in dispositions. We are proud to have made this much progress so early in the year,” said Michael J. DeMarco, Mack-Cali president. “With these sales the Company is well positioned to push ahead with our strategic plan and ultimately to return significant value for our investors.”

 

The disposition agreements consist of:

 

·                   125 Broad Street, New York, N.Y.: Mack-Cali signed a contract to sell the Company’s ownership in the building for approximately $202 million.

·                   1201 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C.: The Company signed a contract to sell the building for approximately $93 million.

·                   1400 L Street, NW, Washington, D.C.: Mack-Cali signed an agreement to sell this property for approximately $70.5 million.

 

These dispositions are not yet finalized, subject to closing conditions and covenants; however, the Company expects $400 million in total sales to close by June 2016, while an additional $350 million in sales are expected to be completed by October 2016.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and are advised to consider the factors listed above together with the additional factors under the heading “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, as may be supplemented or amended by the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated herein by reference. The Company assumes no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events, new information or otherwise.
