2.2 Sales/Use Taxes. Purchaser shall file all necessary tax returns with respect to taxes imposed or due solely by reason of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and, to the extent required by applicable Law, the Sellers will join in the execution of any such tax returns. Consistent with this Agreement (including Section 3.1) and applicable Law, the Parties (a) shall cooperate with each other in good faith to maximize the Parties’ ability to structure the transaction to utilize retail resale exemptions, the occasional sale exemption, the occasional business sale exemption and other applicable sales or use tax exemptions and other exemptions and structures that may be utilized in whole or part in compliance with all applicable Laws, and (b) agree to execute any necessary documents in connection therewith provided such documents are commercially reasonable in form and substance.

2.3 Board Approval. Sellers will execute this Agreement, but the effectiveness thereof, other than this Section 2.3. shall not occur unless and until this Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements, and the transactions contemplated herein and therein, have been approved (collectively, “Board Approval”) by the Board of Trust Managers of Crescent Real Estate Equities Company or the applicable committees thereof (collectively, the “Board”). Seller will promptly provide Purchaser with written notice that Board Approval has been granted or denied. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, in the event Sellers fail to notify Purchaser that it has obtained Board Approval by March 12, 2007 (the “Board Approval Deadline Date”), or prior thereto notifies Purchaser that Board Approval has been denied, then either Sellers or Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other given within five (5) days following the Board Approval Deadline Date (but only if Board Approval has not been obtained by the date of such notice), and this Agreement shall terminate except for the provisions hereof which expressly survive termination. From the Effective Date until such time as this Agreement is terminated, the Sellers agree on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates to deal solely with Purchaser in connection with the sale of the Asset and during such time no Seller nor any Affiliate of

4.1 Amount and Timing. Within two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver the Earnest Money, in Current Funds, to the Title Company. Seller agrees that the Earnest Money shall be refundable at any time prior to expiration of the Inspection Period if Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.3(c) hereof for any reason as determined in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion. After the expiration of the Inspection Period, the Earnest Money shall be payable to either Purchaser or Sellers in accordance with this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to deposit the Earnest Money with the Title Company on or before two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date, this Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements shall be of no force or effect, and neither the Sellers nor Purchaser shall have any further obligations hereunder or under the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements, except for provisions of this Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements which expressly survive the termination hereof and thereof. The Title Company shall invest the Earnest Money promptly upon receipt in government insured interest-bearing accounts satisfactory to and as directed by Purchaser, shall not commingle the Earnest Money with any funds of the Title Company or others, and shall promptly provide Purchaser and the Sellers with confirmation of the investments made. Such account shall have no penalty for early withdrawal, and Purchaser accepts all risks with regard to such account.

By their entry into this Agreement, the Parties agree that the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2 shall constitute their respective written instructions to the Title Company to distribute the Earnest Money in accordance herewith.

     Purchaser acknowledges that the Property Information either has been made available by the Sellers to Purchaser prior to the Effective Date or will be made available to Purchaser within five (5) days after the Effective Date (or, with respect to insurance policies, as soon as they become available), in each case by means of posting the same on the “CrescentConnect” website to which Purchaser was granted access by the Sellers. In addition to the foregoing, as soon as reasonably possible after the Effective Date, the Sellers shall provide to Purchaser year-to-date unaudited monthly income statements for the Asset, beginning January 2007, as the same become available, and the Sellers shall provide to Purchaser promptly upon request by Purchaser such additional due diligence materials relating to the Property which are reasonably requested by Purchaser and are in the Sellers’ possession or control, including audited financial statements for the Asset, if available. All such additional due diligence documents and materials provided by the Sellers to Purchaser after the Effective Date shall be provided by means of posting the same on the “CrescentConnect” website and shall be referred to collectively as the “Additional Property Materials.” Except as and to the extent otherwise expressly provided in the Sellers’ representations and warranties in Article VI of this Agreement, the Sellers expressly disclaim any and all liability for representations or warranties, express or implied, statements of fact and other matters contained in the Property Information and/or the Additional Property Materials, or for omissions from the Property Information and/or the Additional Property Materials, or in any other written or oral communications transmitted or made available to Purchaser. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Sellers’ representations and warranties in Article VI of this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Sellers have not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Information and/or the Additional Property Materials, and have provided the Property Information and the Additional Property Materials solely as an accommodation to Purchaser. With respect to the Property, Purchaser shall rely solely upon (A) Purchaser’s review of the Property Information and the Additional Property Materials, (B) Purchaser’s inspections of the Property pursuant to Section 5.3(a) below, (C) the express warranties and representations of the Sellers set forth in Article VI of this Agreement, and (D) the express covenants of the Sellers set forth in Article XIII of this Agreement. In permitting Purchaser to review the Property Information, the Additional Property Materials or any other information, the Sellers have not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third-party benefits or relationships of any kind, either express or implied, have

13



 

been offered, intended or created. The provisions of this Section 5.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and Closing.
5.2 Title and Surveys.
          (a) As noted in Section 5.1 above, Sellers have posted on the “CrescentConnect” website a current Title Commitment for the Asset, together with copies of the Exception Documents pertaining thereto, and the Existing Survey for the Asset. Seller agrees to provide Purchaser with a full size copy of the Existing Survey within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date.
          (b) Before the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser may elect to obtain a new survey for the Asset, or to revise, modify, or re-certify the Existing Survey (the “New Survey”), but in that event Purchaser shall be responsible for obtaining and paying for the New Survey (and in no event shall either the Inspection Period or the Closing Date hereunder be postponed or extended for any reason in connection therewith). If Purchaser obtains the New Survey, Purchaser shall have the New Survey certified to, and shall provide a copy to, the Title Company and Sellers. Upon Purchaser’s request and at Purchaser’s cost, Sellers shall exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist Purchaser in causing the surveyor of the Existing Survey to revise, modify, date down and recertify the Existing Survey to Purchaser, its lender and the Title Company.
          (c) Purchaser may, on or before the date that is two (2) weeks after the Effective Date (the “Title Response Date”) deliver to Sellers written notice (“Title Objection Notice”) objecting to any exception to title set forth in the Title Commitment or any matter shown on the Existing Survey or New Survey which are not acceptable to Purchaser or that are exceptions for which Purchaser has not received the underlying information or documentation from Sellers or the Title Company (collectively, “Title Defects”); provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser object to any exceptions with respect to the Management Agreement, Material Agreements or memoranda of any of the foregoing, nor shall any such exceptions constitute “Title Defects” hereunder unless Purchaser exercises an option to elect not to assume any such agreement under this Agreement. Any exception to title not objected to by Purchaser in the manner and within the time period specified in this Section 5.2(c) shall be deemed accepted by Purchaser and shall constitute a Permitted Exception hereunder, except that in no event shall Permitted Exceptions ever include Mandatory Seller Cure Items. Within five (5) Business Days following receipt of Purchaser’s Title Objection Notice, Sellers may deliver to Purchaser Sellers’ written notice (“Seller’s Response Notice”) setting forth which (if any) of the Title Defects Sellers are willing to cure or otherwise cause to be removed as exceptions in the New Title Policy (the “Seller’s Initial Cure Items”). In the event that (i) Seller fails to timely deliver a Seller’s Response Notice, (ii) Seller delivers a Seller’s Response Notice but fails to cure or to cause the cure of any Seller Cure Items prior to the end of the Inspection Period, or (iii) Seller’s Response Notice fails to obligate Seller to cure all of the Title Defects which are not Mandatory Seller Cure Items, then Purchaser may, as Purchaser’s sole right and remedy, either (A) elect to terminate this Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements (except the provisions hereof and thereof which expressly survive Closing) by written notice to Sellers delivered prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period pursuant to Section 5.3(c) of this Agreement, in which event the provisions of Section 10.1 of this Agreement governing a permitted termination by Purchaser of the entire Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements shall apply, or (B) proceed to close, accepting title to the Property subject to the Title Defects specified in the Title Objection Notice (excluding Mandatory Seller Cure Items), in which case Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived in all respects such Title Defects; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, in all events Sellers shall be obligated to cause the removal or cure of the Mandatory Seller Cure Items at or prior to the Closing and Purchaser shall be permitted to deduct from the Purchase Price the amount of Title Defects having an ascertainable amount that will be paid or cured by Purchaser after Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers expressly agree to cause to be cured or removed as exceptions

14



 

from each New Title Policy the following (the “Mandatory Seller Cure Items”): (v) matters that Seller has elected in writing to cure as provided in Section 5.3(c) above, (w) except for those matters and circumstances described in the other subsections of this definition of the term “Mandatory Seller Cure Items”, title exceptions recorded with respect to the Asset by or with the consent of Sellers or their Affiliates after 5:00 p.m. (Central time) on the effective date of the Title Commitment pertaining to the Asset last delivered prior to March 22, 2007, or caused by or arising out of the actions of Sellers or their Affiliates after 5:00 p.m. (Central time) on the effective date of the Title Commitment pertaining to the Asset last delivered prior to March 22, 2007, and which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the title, use, operation or value of the Asset, (x) mortgage liens placed on the Asset by a Seller or its Affiliate, (y) mechanics liens placed on the Asset in connection with work done at the Asset by or on behalf of Seller or its Affiliate, and (z) intentionally omitted.
          (d) Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the Sellers shall not be obligated hereunder to cure any Title Defects other than the Mandatory Seller Cure Items.
          (e) Intentionally Omitted.
          (f) For purposes of this Agreement, the term, Permitted Exceptions,” shall mean the following: (i) all exceptions and objections to title set forth in the Title Commitment and in the Existing Survey and New Survey, including all Title Defects which Purchaser is deemed to have approved in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2(c) above, but excluding any Title Defect that constitutes a Mandatory Seller Cure Item; (ii) intentionally omitted; (iii) any rights of licensees or other third parties under any Operating Agreements not terminated as of Closing (if recorded, by memorandum or otherwise); (iv) non-delinquent taxes and assessments for the year in which Closing occurs and subsequent years; (v) matters created by, through or under Purchaser, including without limitation any liens and encumbrances arising after the Effective Date to which Purchaser consents in writing; (vi) intentionally omitted; (vii) intentionally omitted; (viii) exceptions for the Material Agreements and any recorded memoranda with respect to the foregoing; and (ix) exceptions that are part of the promulgated title insurance form and approved by Purchaser during the Inspection Period (except to the extent that that the Title Company has agreed to remove or modify same prior to Closing). For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything seemingly to the contrary herein, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (x) in no event shall the Inspection Period be extended for any reason in connection with Purchaser’s review of or objections to title, and that Purchaser’s sole remedy if it is unsatisfied with such review of or objections to title shall be to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3(c) of this Agreement; and (y) if Purchaser fails to deliver notice of termination of this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period in accordance with Section 5.3(c) of this Agreement, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the title to the Property; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, in all events Sellers shall be obligated to remove and cure the Mandatory Seller Cure Items at or prior to the Closing and in no event shall the term Permitted Exceptions include the Mandatory Seller Cure Items.
          (g) At Closing, the Title Company shall issue to Purchaser a New Title Policy (hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “New Title Policy” shall mean a 1970-ALTA Extended Coverage Owner Policy of Title Insurance with such endorsements as may be requested by Purchaser and agreed to in writing by Title Company prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, insuring Purchaser’s title to the Land in the amount of the Purchase Price as specified in the Title Commitment, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

     5.3 Inspection Period.
          (a) During the period from the Effective Date until Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right to conduct its due diligence and a physical inspection of the Property at its sole cost and expense and in accordance with this Agreement. In addition to such other activities that Purchaser may determine to be appropriate to carry out such due diligence, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives may (i) examine the physical structures and components of the Asset, including, without limitation, the life safety systems, electrical, mechanical, and HVAC systems; (ii) conduct studies to determine that the Asset and the operation thereof complies with all requirements of all Governmental Bodies having jurisdiction with respect thereto, including, without limitation matters of zoning, building code compliance, compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act; (iii) make such studies and investigations, conduct such tests and surveys and engage such independent contractors, environmental engineers, environmental consultants, and experts as necessary to enable Purchaser to evaluate any and all environmental risks associated with the ownership and operation of the Asset and its compliance with Environmental Law; (iv) interview all senior management personnel with respect to the Asset, upon reasonable prior notice (of not less than twenty-four (24) hours), and Sellers shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to make such personnel available or assist Purchaser in arranging the same, and (v) otherwise CONDUCT A COMPLETE AND THOROUGH INVESTIGATION AND EXAMINATION OF THE ASSET EMPLOYING THE LEVELS OF DUE DILIGENCE AS PURCHASER MAY ELECT TO PERFORM IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION. To the extent Purchaser does not currently have available its own employees who are competent to conduct such examinations and inspections, Purchaser shall have the right to retain such Representatives, consultants, independent contractors and other professional advisors as necessary to enable it to complete its due diligence and investigation of the Property as Purchaser determines is necessary in its sole and absolute discretion. From and after the Effective Date and until the earlier to occur of termination of this Agreement or Closing, Purchaser and its representatives and agents will have the right, upon reasonable prior notice (of not less than one (1) Business Day) to enter upon the Land and Improvements for the purpose of examining, inspecting and testing the Property. Purchaser will provide the Sellers and Manager with reasonable notice regarding the scope and execution of its activities, including proposed timing of inspections and any anticipated need to interview specified personnel. Purchaser will not unreasonably disturb or interfere with the operation, management or use of the Asset by the Sellers, the Manager or by any of their respective agents, customers, invitees, or guests. Neither Purchaser nor any of its agents or contractors may conduct inspection activities that involve the disassembly of any building components, the removal of permanent wall coverings or partitions, the drilling or boring into the Land or Improvements, or any other similar invasive activity without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed but may be further conditioned on such adequate bonds and additional security as the Sellers may reasonably require to protect itself and the Property from loss, damage or injury. Purchaser waives and releases any claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of action, or other remedies of any kind whatsoever against the Sellers and the Manager for property damages or bodily and/or personal injuries to Purchaser, its agents, independent contractors, servants and/or employees arising out of its inspections of the Property or its use in any manner of the Property unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sellers. Purchaser shall procure and continue in force from and after the date Purchaser first enters the Property, and continuing throughout the term of this Agreement, Comprehensive General Liability Insurance with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, or Commercial General Liability Insurance, with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 per event. The Sellers and the Manager each shall be included as an Additional Insured under such Comprehensive General Liability or Commercial General Liability Coverage. Purchaser hereby indemnifies and holds the Sellers and the Manager harmless from all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), actions, and causes of action arising out of or in any way relating to the inspections performed by Purchaser, its agents, independent contractors, servants, and/or employees (collectively, the “Purchaser

16



 

Inspection Parties”), but such indemnity shall not include (i) claims related to pre-existing conditions discovered by a Purchaser Inspection Party except to the extent of any exacerbation of such conditions caused by a Purchaser Inspection Party or (ii) to the extent such claims are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sellers or any Affiliate, it being understood and agreed that the foregoing indemnity includes an indemnification with respect to claims due to the negligence of the indemnitees, as and to the extent provided herein. The provisions of this Section 5.3(a) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement and are not subject to any liquidated damage limitation on remedies, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement.
          (b) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, as a condition to Purchaser’s being provided with the Property Information and the Additional Property Materials and being provided access to the Property, Purchaser shall treat as confidential all information contained therein or learned in connection therewith in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 5.3(b), except to the extent that any such information (i) was already in Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s Representatives’ possession prior to the date Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Representatives was given access to the “CrescentConnect” website, (ii) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives, (iii) becomes available to Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Sellers or their respective Affiliates or advisors, provided that such source is not known by Purchaser to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other obligation of secrecy to the Sellers, their respective Affiliates or another party; (iv) is compelled or permitted to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement or (v) is independently developed by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives (collectively, the “Confidential Information Exclusions”). Purchaser hereby agrees that the Property Information and Additional Property Materials will be used solely for the purpose of evaluating the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, and that such information will be kept confidential by Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives, provided, however, that (A) any of such information may be disclosed to Purchaser’s Representatives who need to know such information for the purpose of evaluating such transactions (it being understood that such Representatives shall be informed by Purchaser of the confidential nature of such information and shall be directed by Purchaser to treat such information confidentially), and (B) any disclosure of such information may be made to which the Sellers consent in writing. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Purchaser is aware, and that Purchaser will advise such Representatives who are informed as to the matters which are the subject of this Section 5.3(b), that the United States securities laws prohibit any person who has received from an issuer material, non-public information concerning the matters which are the subject hereof from (I) purchasing or selling securities of such issuer and, if applicable, securities of such issuer’s affiliates and subsidiaries, or (II) communicating such material, non-public information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities. In addition, without the prior written consent of the Sellers, Purchaser will not, and will direct its Representatives not to, disclose to any person other than its Representatives any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, including the status of such transactions. Purchaser agrees not to solicit for employment or hire any of the current employees of the Sellers or their respective Affiliates to whom Purchaser had been directly or indirectly introduced or otherwise had contact with as a result of Purchaser’s consideration of the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Sellers; provided, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to general solicitations, third-party calls from recruiters or employees who contact Purchaser on his or her own initiatives or individuals who are terminated by Sellers. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Property Information and Additional Property Materials are being provided to Purchaser in consideration of Purchaser’s agreement that, for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement, (x) Purchaser will not propose to any of the Sellers or their Affiliates or any other Person any transaction between Purchaser and any Seller and/or its security holders, or between Purchaser and an Affiliate of any

17



 

Seller and/or its security holders, or involving any of the securities or security holder of a Seller or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, except for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless the Sellers shall have requested in writing that Purchaser make such a proposal, and (y) Purchaser will not acquire, or assist, advise or encourage any other persons in acquiring, directly or indirectly, control of any Seller or its Affiliates, or any of the securities, businesses or assets of a Seller or its Affiliates, as applicable, unless the Sellers shall have consented in advance in writing to such acquisition. Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the Sellers agree that such provisions shall be inapplicable if (1) Purchaser acquires the Asset pursuant to this Agreement or any or all of the Other Assets pursuant to any Other Purchase and Sale Agreements, or (2) the Board of Trust Managers of the Sellers’ publicly-traded parent company undertakes a process to formally solicit proposals to buy or sell all or substantially all assets of such company. Purchaser also agrees that the Sellers shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including an injunction, in the event of any breach of the provisions of this Section 5.3(b) and that Purchaser shall not oppose the granting of such relief. In the event that Purchaser is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other process) to disclose any of the Property Information Materials or Additional Property Materials, Purchaser will provide Sellers with prompt notice, to the extent permissible under applicable law or regulation, of any such request or requirement so that the Sellers may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this letter. If a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder has not been obtained, or if prior notice is not possible, and Purchaser is, in the opinion of Purchaser’s counsel, compelled to disclose any of the Property Information Materials or Additional Property Materials, Purchaser may disclose that portion of the Property Information Materials and Additional Property Materials which Purchaser’s counsel advises that Purchaser is compelled to disclose. Purchaser agrees to cooperate with the Sellers in any action brought by the Sellers to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Property Information Material and Additional Property Materials. The provisions of this Section 5.3(b) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

Upon the taking of a subsequent actual reading, such apportionment shall be adjusted to reflect the actual per diem rate for the billing period in which the date of Closing falls, and Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall promptly deliver to the other the amount determined to be due upon such adjustment. Advance cash payments to Seller under such agreements shall be prorated as of the Closing Date over the entire term of such agreement.

Any real estate ad valorem or similar taxes for the Property, or any installment of assessments payable in installments which installment is payable in the year of Closing, shall be prorated to the date of Closing, based upon actual days involved. In connection with the proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments, such proration shall be for all unpaid periods up to and including Closing and be based upon the assessed valuation and tax rate figures for the year in which the Closing occurs to the extent the same are available; provided, that in the event that actual figures (whether for the assessed value of the Property or for the tax rate) for the year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date, the proration shall be made using the figures from the preceding year for the figures which are unavailable for the year of Closing.

          (d) Reproration Obligations. If any of the items subject to proration under the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.4 cannot be prorated at the Closing because of the unavailability of the information necessary to compute such proration, or if any errors or omissions in computing prorations at the Closing are discovered subsequent to the Closing, then such item shall be reapportioned and such errors and omissions corrected as soon as practicable after the Closing Date (a “Reproration Obligation”) and the proper Party reimbursed, which obligation shall survive the Closing for the Survival Period. No Party hereto shall have the right to require a recomputation of a Closing proration or a correction of an error or omission in a Closing proration unless within the Survival Period one of the Parties hereto (i) has obtained the previously unavailable information or has discovered the error or omission, and (ii) has given notice thereof to the other Party together with a copy of its good faith recomputation of the proration and copies of all substantiating information used in such recomputation. The failure of a Party to obtain any previously unavailable information or discover an error or omission with respect to an item subject to proration hereunder and to give notice thereof as provided above within the Survival Period shall be deemed a waiver of its right to cause a recomputation or a correction of an error or omission with respect to such item after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the reproration obligations set forth herein with respect to the reproration of real estate taxes shall survive the Closing for a period of two (2) years.

          (f) Purchaser Assumed Liabilities. Purchaser shall assume and be responsible for the timely satisfaction or performance, as the case may be, of all Purchaser Assumed Liabilities.

The amount of loss in the case of a dispute between Sellers and Purchaser as to whether such loss was “Major” shall be determined by a general contractor engaged in both new construction and major renovation projects in the location of the Asset, which general contractor has been jointly selected by a general contractor working in such location identified by the Sellers, and a general contractor working in such location identified by Purchaser, whose determination shall be binding upon the Parties. As used in this Article XII,Proceeds” means the amount of all insurance proceeds, condemnation awards or other amounts that have been paid or may thereafter be payable to or for the account of the Sellers in connection with a taking or damage/destruction (including any amounts recoverable under any rent loss or business interruption policy to the extent applicable to periods after Closing) with respect to the Asset.

The Independent Contract Consideration is in addition to and independent of any other consideration or payment provided in this Agreement, is nonrefundable, and it is fully earned and shall be retained by the Sellers notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement; provided, that if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, the Independent Contract Consideration shall be applicable to the Purchase Price at Closing.
13.6, Net Worth. If Purchaser acquires the Asset or any or all of the Other Assets pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements, then Walton TCC Hotel Investors V, L.L.C. and each assignee Purchaser under Section 14.4 below shall collectively maintain, and shall cause any Purchaser Guarantor (as hereinafter defined), if required, to maintain, a collective Net Worth (as hereinafter defined) of at least $20,000,000 for a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date. If at any time during such two-year period Purchaser and such assignees fail to collectively comply with the foregoing covenant, Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers a written agreement, reasonably satisfactory to the Sellers in form and substance, executed by a creditworthy Affiliate of Purchaser with a Net Worth of at least $20,000,000 (the “Purchaser Guarantor”), in which the Purchaser Guarantor guarantees the performance of all of Purchaser’s post-Closing obligations through the end of such two-year period. Within ten (10) days after written request from the Sellers from time to time (but not more frequently than quarterly), Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers current financial statements (audited if available, or otherwise certified by Purchaser’s authorized representative to be true and correct in all material respects) for Walton TCC Hotel Investors V, L.L.C. and each assignee Purchaser under Section 14.4 below and for any Purchaser’s Guarantor, which statements shall at a minimum provide sufficient information to reflect the Net Worth of such Person, as applicable, as of the date of such statements. For the purposes of this Section 13.6, “Net Worth” means for any Person, as of any date, the amount equal to the sum of the total assets as reflected on the balance sheet of such Person (exclusive of unrealized appreciation in an amount that will not cause the equity value of an investment to be less than zero), plus, an amount equal to the unpaid capital obligations of the members of such Person (other than defaulting members), less total liabilities as reflected on the balance sheet of such Person. The provisions of this Section 13.4 shall survive the Closing for a period of two (2) years.

14.2 Governing Law. WITH RESPECT TO THE ASSET, THIS AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE WHERE THE ASSET IS LOCATED, AND THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE SHALL GOVERN THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE INTEREST IN THE ASSET THAT IS TRANSFERRED OR CREATED BY THE TRANSACTIONS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT, BUT THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES OF THE STATE OF TEXAS) SHALL OTHERWISE GOVERN THIS AGREEMENT. The Parties hereto agree that should any suit, action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement be instituted by any Party hereto (other than a suit, action or proceeding to enforce or realize upon any final court judgment arising out of this Agreement), such suit, action or proceeding shall be instituted only in a state or federal court in (a) Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, or (b) with respect to the Asset, the state and county where the Asset is located (collectively, the “Approved Jurisdictions”). Each of the Parties hereto consents to the in personam jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the Approved Jurisdictions, and waives any objection to the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding.

This Agreement may not be assigned in whole or in part by Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which consent may be granted or withheld by the Sellers in their sole and absolute discretion, and any such assignment in violation of this Section 14.4, shall be void and of no effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Purchaser shall have the right (i) without Sellers’ consent to assign this Agreement to an Affiliate of Purchaser, but only if Purchaser executes and delivers to Sellers a written assignment and assumption agreement whereunder Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it is not released from its obligations hereunder, and (ii) with Seller’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to a assign the right to acquire the Asset to a third party purchaser thereof, in which case, Seller agrees that performance shall be granted under this Agreement directly to such third party purchaser (such that Purchaser shall not be made a part of the chain of title to the Asset) and the rights and obligations as to the Asset (other than the obligation to pay the Purchase Price, which shall be paid by or through Purchaser) shall inure also to and for the benefit of such third party purchaser. In the event of an assignment of this Agreement by Purchaser (including any assignment permitted by the preceding sentence of this Section 14.4), (a) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.4(f) above, Purchaser shall not be released from any liability or obligations hereunder,(b) Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the Sellers a copy of the instrument effecting such assignment, and (c) as a condition precedent to any assignment by Purchaser hereunder, Purchaser shall first have obtained all Required Consents with respect to the assignee and the Asset or Other Asset. In addition, none of the

48



 

representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or indemnities made by the Sellers in this Agreement or pursuant to the Closing Deliveries shall inure to the benefit of any Person that may, after the Closing Date, succeed to Purchaser’s interest in all or any part of the Property other than a permitted assignee of Purchaser under this Section 14.4.
