4.       Title Matters .

4.1         Title Commitment .   Within five (5) business days from the Opening of Escrow, Sellers shall cause the Title Company to deliver to Buyer and Sellers (and their respective legal counsel) a current commitment for a CLTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Commitment”). Sellers shall deliver to Buyer, as part of the Due Diligence Materials, existing surveys of any of the Properties, if any. If Buyer desires to update the surveys delivered pursuant to this Section 4.1 or to obtain a new survey (collectively, the “Updated Survey”), then, it may do so, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, and shall deliver a copy thereof to Sellers (and their legal counsel). During the forty (40) day period after the Effective Date (the “Title/Survey Review Period”), Buyer shall review and approve or object to the condition of title to each Property as set forth on the Title Commitment and any Updated Survey. In the event that Buyer objects to any Seller’s title for any reason or to any other item disclosed by each Title Commitment or any Updated Survey, Buyer shall, during the Title/Survey Review Period, deliver written notice (“Buyer’s Title Notice”) to Sellers specifically identifying all objections (“Title Objections”) to any such item or to the condition of any Seller’s title. Buyer’s Title Notice also may identify the form of title policy and endorsements required by Buyer. Failure of Buyer to provide a Buyer’s Title Notice within the Title/Survey Review Period shall be deemed approval by Buyer of the condition of title to each Property as set forth in the Title Commitment. Sellers shall, within three (3) business days following receipt of the Buyer’s Title Notice, deliver written notice (“Sellers’ Title Notice”) to Buyer informing Buyer whether or not Sellers desire, in Sellers’ sole discretion, an opportunity to eliminate or cure any such matter to which an objection has been raised. If Sellers elect, or are deemed to have elected, not to remove or otherwise cure an exception disapproved in Buyer’s Title Notice, Buyer shall have until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to deliver to Sellers written notice (“Buyer’s Approval Notice”) which shall be deemed to be Buyer’s election to waive the objection. If Sellers have not received the Buyer’s Approval Notice from Buyer by the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Buyer shall be deemed to have disapproved the Sellers’ Title Notice and deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement. In the event that Sellers advise Buyer in Sellers’ Title Notice that Sellers will attempt to eliminate or cure any matter to which an objection is made, Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement will be suspended, and Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate or cure such matter prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that if Sellers fail to eliminate or cure any such matter that Sellers have agreed to attempt to eliminate or cure, despite Sellers’ commercially reasonable efforts to do so, on or prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall not be in default or breach of this Agreement, and Buyer shall have the right, as of the Closing Date, to either: (A) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer, and the parties shall have no further obligations to each other under this Agreement, except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement; or (B) waive such failure by Sellers, in writing, and accept title to such Property subject to the matters to which Buyer has objected and Sellers were unable to eliminate or cure prior to the Closing Date. Sellers’ failure to provide Buyer with Sellers’ Title Notice shall be deemed to be Sellers’ election to not cure any matter objected to by Buyer in Buyer’s Title Notice.

      and Joint Escrow Instructions


4.2         Discharge of Title Objections .   If on the Closing Date there are any Title Objections which Sellers are required to pay and discharge, Sellers may use any portion of the Cash Balance to satisfy the same, provided Sellers shall deliver to Buyer at the Close of Escrow, instruments in recordable form and sufficient to satisfy such Title Objections of record, together with the cost of recording or filing such instruments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4, Sellers agree to have all Monetary Liens removed from title at or prior to Closing.

4.3         Title Insurance .   At the Close of Escrow, and as a condition thereto, the Title Company shall issue to Buyer at Buyer’s discretion a CLTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance for each Property (each, a Title Policy ”) with liability in the amount of the Purchase Price (with the amount of each Title Policy to be allocated by Buyer among the seven (7) Properties), showing title to each Property vested in Buyer, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. If Buyer desires to obtain an extended coverage title insurance policy, Buyer shall be responsible to have prepared and delivered to the Title Company an ALTA survey of each Property, at Buyer’s expense. Buyer shall pay the additional premium for extended coverage in excess of a standard coverage CLTA policy and any endorsements requested by Buyer. Neither the Due Diligence Period nor the Close of Escrow shall be extended due to Buyer’s Title Policy requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer fails to provide an ALTA survey for the Property acceptable to the Title Company for purposes of issuing the Title Policy, then the Title Policy to be issued on the Close of Escrow shall be a CLTA standard coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance which shall include a general survey exception.

Each and every provision of this Section 7.7 shall survive the Close of Escrow and the delivery and recordation of the Sellers’ Grant Deeds.

7.8         Flood Hazard Zone .  Buyer acknowledges that if any Property is located in an area which the Secretary of HUD has found to have special flood hazards, then pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Program, Buyer will be required to purchase flood insurance in order to obtain any loan secured by such Property from any federally regulated financial institution or a loan insured or guaranteed by an agency of the United States government. Buyer shall have sole responsibility to determine whether any Property is located in an area which is subject to the National Flood Insurance Program.

By initialing below, the Buyer acknowledges that: (i) this entire Section 7 has been read and fully understood; (ii) the Buyer has had the opportunity to ask questions of its legal counsel about its meaning and significance; and (iii) the Buyer has accepted and agreed to the terms set forth in this Section 7.

8.        Condemnation; Destruction .

8.1         Condemnation .  If, prior to the Close of Escrow, proceedings are commenced or threatened for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or a material part of any of the Properties which, as reasonably determined by Buyer using its reasonable business judgment would render such Property unacceptable to Buyer as a self-storage facility, then; (i) Sellers shall notify Buyer of such fact; and (ii) Sellers or Buyer shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon notice given not later than three (3) days after receipt of such notice. If this Agreement is so terminated, then: (a) Sellers and Buyer shall equally pay any costs associated with the cancellation of the Escrow pursuant to Section 5.6 above; and (b) Escrow Holder shall, without requiring any further instruction from Sellers and notwithstanding any contrary instruction from Sellers, immediately return to Buyer the Deposit (and any interest accrued thereon). If the parties do not terminate this Agreement or the condemnation does not render all or any material part of any Property unacceptable to Buyer as a self-storage facility as reasonably determined by Buyer, in Buyer’s reasonable business

 

   19    Purchase and Sale Agreement
      and Joint Escrow Instructions


judgment, then: (A) Buyer and Seller shall proceed to the Close of Escrow pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, without any adjustment to the Purchase Price and modification of the terms of this Agreement, except that the Property shall not include the property so taken; and (B) Buyer shall be entitled to receive and retain, all final, non-appealable awards for such taking not received as of the Close of Escrow (provided there is no reduction of the Purchase Price). For purposes of this Section 8.1, if the condemnation is of a material nature reasonably determined by Buyer using Buyer’s reasonable business judgment that all or a material portion of any of the Properties would render such Property unacceptable to Buyer as a self-storage facility, either Sellers or Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

8.2         Destruction or Damage .  All risk of loss to any Property shall remain with Sellers prior to the Closing. In the event any of the Properties are damaged or destroyed prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall notify Buyer, in writing, of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof. If any such damage or destruction: (a) is an insured casualty, and (b) would cost less than an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price (allocated to the damaged Property) to repair or restore, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and Buyer shall acquire the Properties upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The cost of repair shall be determined by an architect and contractor selected by Sellers and reasonably approved by Buyer. In such event, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the deductible amount applicable under Sellers’ casualty policy, less all actual and reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Sellers as of the Closing Date in connection with the negotiation and/or settlement of the casualty claim with the insurer (“Realization Costs”), and Sellers shall assign to Buyer all of Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to all proceeds of insurance on account of such damage or destruction. In the event any Property is damaged or destroyed prior to the Closing Date and the cost of repair would equal or exceed an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price (allocated to the damaged Property), or the casualty is an uninsured casualty, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section, either Sellers or Buyer shall have the right, at its election, to terminate this Agreement. Buyer shall have five (5) days after Sellers notify Buyer of the cost of repairing the damage to make such election by delivery to Sellers of a written election notice (“Election Notice”) and the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer to make such election. The failure by Buyer to deliver the Election Notice within such five (5) day period shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. In the event Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement as set forth above, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, Sellers shall assign to Buyer all of Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to any and all proceeds of insurance on account of such damage or destruction, if any, and, if the casualty was an insured casualty, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the deductible amount under Sellers’ casualty insurance policy.

All references in this Agreement to “Seller’s knowledge” or words of similar import shall refer only to the actual knowledge (without investigation or inquiry) of such Seller and shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any officer, agent or employee of such Seller or any affiliate thereof or to impose or have imposed upon any officer, agent or employee any duty to investigate the matters to which such knowledge, or the absence thereof, pertains, including, but not limited to, the contents of the files, documents and materials made available to or disclosed to Buyer. There shall be no personal liability on the part of any officer, agent or employee arising out of any representations or warranties made herein.

Upon the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and Buyer’s delivery of the Additional Deposit to Escrow Holder, Sellers shall give their employees at the Properties written notice that the Properties will be sold to Buyer on the Closing Date and that the employment of such employees with Sellers shall terminate as of the Closing Date.

consent of Buyer, such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or unless such employee can be terminated prior to the Closing Date.

Except in the ordinary course of business, without the prior written consent of Buyer, no Seller shall terminate any of the Leases, unless the tenant thereunder shall have materially defaulted in the payment of rent.

9.6.7     Changes in Circumstances .  Sellers shall promptly notify Buyer of any material change in any condition with respect to any Property or of any event or circumstance which makes any representation or warranty of Sellers under this Agreement untrue or misleading in any material respect, or any covenant of Sellers or Buyer under this Agreement incapable or less likely of being performed, it being understood that Sellers’ obligation to provide notice to Buyer shall in no way relieve Sellers of any liability for a breach by Sellers of any of their representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement.

10.       Default .

10.1     LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: DEPOSIT .  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, IF BUYER HAS NOT OR IS DEEMED NOT TO HAVE TERMINATED THIS AGREEMENT PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD, AND IF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTIES OR ANY INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY TO BUYER IS NOT CONSUMMATED SOLELY BY REASON OF BUYER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND IF BUYER DOES NOT CURE SUCH DEFAULT WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS FOLLOWING RECEIPT OF NOTICE FROM SELLER DESCRIBING SUCH DEFAULT, SELLER MAY, AS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR SUCH DEFAULT, TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY GIVING WRITTEN NOTICE THEREOF TO BUYER PRIOR TO OR AT CLOSING OR WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE CLOSING DATE (IF THE CLOSING SHALL NOT HAVE TAKEN PLACE), WHEREUPON NEITHER PARTY HERETO SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER (EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN AS SURVIVING TERMINATION) AND SELLERS SHALL BE ENTITLED TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS SELLERS’ LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY IMPRACTICABLE AND DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SELLERS AS A RESULT OF BUYER’S FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTIES PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION 10 REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLERS WILL INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT LIMIT SELLERS’ RIGHT TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES INCURRED BY SELLERS IN PURSUING THEIR REMEDIES TO RECOVER LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 10, OR WAIVE OR AFFECT SELLERS’ RIGHTS AND BUYER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER OTHER SECTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PAYMENT OF SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLERS PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676, AND 1677. THE PARTIES HAVE SET

10.2     No Contesting Liquidated Damages .  As material consideration to each Party’s agreement to the liquidated damages provisions stated above, each Party hereby agrees to waive any and all rights whatsoever to contest the validity of the liquidated damage provision for any reason whatsoever including, but not limited to, that such provision was unreasonable under circumstances existing at the time this Agreement was made.

10.3     Buyer’s Remedies for Sellers’ Default .  If at, or prior to, the Close of Escrow: (a) Sellers are in material default of any of Sellers’ obligations hereunder; or (b) any of Sellers’ representations or warranties are untrue in any material respect, Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to either: (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Sellers and Escrow Holder, in which event the Deposit shall promptly be returned to Buyer and Seller shall reimburse Buyer all of Buyer’s reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by in connection with this Agreement including, without limitation, negotiating and entering into this Agreement, obtaining and cancelling the Title Commitment, obtaining the Updated Survey and performing the inspections in an amount not to exceed Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00); or (ii) provided Buyer is not in default under this Agreement, pursue an action for specific performance of this Agreement, so long as any action or proceeding for specific performance is filed within sixty (60) days after the scheduled Closing Date, with Buyer thereby waiving, except as provided below, all other Claims against Sellers for damages of any type (including, without limitation, any actual, special, consequential, incidental, punitive or exemplary damages or any other remedy available at law or in equity) in connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby. Sellers shall not be deemed to be in default under this Agreement until Buyer has provided Sellers with a written notice specifying the default of Sellers and Sellers’ failure to cure such default within ten (10) days after Sellers’ receipt of such written notice; provided, however, if such default cannot be reasonably cured within such ten (10) day period, provided Sellers have commenced the cure of such default within the ten (10) day period, Sellers shall have a reasonable period of time to cure such default.

11.          Waiver of Trial by Jury .   Sellers and Buyer, to the extent they may legally do so, hereby expressly waive any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, cause of action, or proceeding arising under or with respect to this Agreement, or in any way connected with, or related to, or incidental to, the dealings of the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement or the transactions related hereto or thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and irrespective of whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise. To the extent they may legally do so, Sellers and Buyer hereby agree that any such claim, demand, action, cause of action, or proceeding shall be decided by a court trial without a jury and that any party hereto

 

   26    Purchase and Sale Agreement
      and Joint Escrow Instructions


may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Section 11 with any court as written evidence of the consent of the other party or parties hereto to waiver of its or their right to trial by jury.

12.          Attorneys’ Fees .   If any party hereto brings an action or proceeding (including any cross-complaint, counterclaim or third-party claim) against the other party by reason of a default by the other party or otherwise arising out of this Agreement, the non-prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party in such action or proceeding all of the prevailing party’s costs and expenses of suit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees, which shall be payable whether or not such action is prosecuted to a judgment.

13.          Notices .   All notices, demands, approvals, and other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered, delivered by reputable overnight courier, sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or sent by e-mail transmission or facsimile transmission and shall be effective upon the earlier of the following to occur: (i) if personally delivered or delivered by overnight courier, when delivered to the recipient; (ii) if mailed, three (3) business days after deposit in a sealed envelope in the United States mail, postage prepaid by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the recipient as set forth below; or (iii) upon transmission, if sent by facsimile or e-mail.

Buyer acknowledges that any information heretofore or hereafter furnished to Buyer with respect to any Property has been and will be so furnished on the condition that Buyer maintain the confidentiality thereof.

In the event the Closing does not occur or this Agreement is terminated, Buyer shall promptly return to Sellers all copies of documents delivered by Sellers to Buyer containing any of such information without retaining any copy thereof or extract therefrom. The provisions of this Section 31 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the Close of Escrow and have no limitations.

32.          Publicity .   Except for any required SEC filing, Buyer hereby covenants that Buyer shall not issue any press release or public statement (a “Release”) with respect to the transaction without the prior written consent of the Sellers, such consent to be in Sellers’ reasonable discretion; provided, however, Buyer is not permitted to issue any press release prior to Seller’s SEC filing.

   31    Purchase and Sale Agreement

assess whether any Property is located in any of the Natural Hazard Areas and the impact on Buyer’s use, operation, development and enjoyment of the Property if any Property is located in any of the Natural Hazard Areas; (b) prior to the last day of the Due Diligence Period, independent of the Statement, Buyer shall have determined whether the Property is located in any of the Natural Hazard Areas and will have assessed the impact on Buyer’s use, operation, development and enjoyment of any Property if such Property is located in any of the Natural Hazard Areas; and (c) Buyer is not relying on the Statement in consummating the transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer represents, warrants and agrees that Sellers shall have no liability to Buyer or to Buyer’s successors or assigns, agents, tenants or invitees as a result of the Statement including, without limitation, as a result of any mistake, omission, misstatement, misrepresentation, whether negligent, grossly negligent or intentional. The representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

34.          Energy Disclosure .   With respect to those buildings located on the Properties containing more than ten thousand (10,000) square feet of space, pursuant to Public Resources Code §25402.10, at least thirty (30) days prior to the Closing, Sellers shall open an account in the Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR ® Portfolio Manager. After the utilities have uploaded data to the Sellers’ Portfolio Manager account, the Sellers shall visit the Commission’s compliance website to access and complete a Compliance Verification Report. The Sellers shall download the Disclosure Summary Sheet from the Commission’s website and use the Portfolio Manager to generate the required disclosure forms, including the Statement of Energy Performance, Data Checklist and Facility Summary. Sellers shall disclose to the Buyer, as soon as it is available, and no later than three (3) business days prior to the expiration of Buyer’s Due Diligence Period, pursuant to Section 5 above, the Commission’s Disclosure Summary Sheet, Statement of Energy Performance, Data Checklist and Facility Summary. If Sellers do not have all of the required information, Sellers may reasonably approximate the missing information based on the best information available to Sellers as long as they have used reasonable efforts to locate the missing information and, the information is not available.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE (“AGREEMENT”)

This Agreement entered into as of the          day of                              , 2015 by and between [                                      ] (“ Buyer ”), and NetREIT, INC., a Maryland corporation (“ NetREIT ”).

Buyer and NetREIT or                                      , as Seller, as the case may be, executed a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions dated as of                                  , 2015 (“ Agreement ”) whereby Buyer agreed to purchase from NetREIT or                                      , as Seller, a certain self-storage facility (“ Facility ”) located at                                          .

NetREIT acknowledges that if NetREIT or any Subsidiary (as defined below) of NetREIT developed a self-storage business within the applicable Restricted Area (as hereinafter defined), such activity would be in competition with the Facility for tenants and employees and such competition might adversely affect the value of the Facility.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.         Capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning as in the Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

2.         For a period of three (3) years (the “ Non-Compete Period ”) commencing with the Closing Date, neither NetREIT nor any Subsidiary of NetREIT shall develop a self-storage business within a five (5) mile radius of the Facility (“ Restricted Area ”), and for the same period, neither NetREIT nor any Subsidiary of NetREIT shall solicit Buyer’s customers or tenants for storage business or its employees for employment. For purposes of this Agreement, Subsidiary shall mean a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity in which NetREIT directly or indirectly owns or controls the shares of stock or other equity interests and for which NetREIT has the ability to bind such corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity to this Agreement Not to Compete; provided, however, Subsidiary shall not include any partners, members or shareholders of such Subsidiary, unless such partners, members or shareholders also satisfy the definition of “Subsidiary”.

3.         NetREIT agrees that damages at law for violation of the restrictive covenants contained herein would not be an adequate or proper remedy to Buyer, and that should NetREIT violate or threaten to violate any of the provisions of this Agreement, Buyer, its successors or assigns, shall be entitled to obtain a temporary or permanent injunction against NetREIT in any court having jurisdiction over the person and the subject matter, prohibiting any further violation of any such covenants, and to recover from NetREIT or any other person engaged in such violation the benefits derived therefrom. The injunctive relief provided herein shall be in addition to any award of damages, compensatory, exemplary or otherwise, payable by reason of such violation.
