- (c)
- Unless the Vendor otherwise agrees in writing, the Purchaser and its representatives shall not enter the Property and perform such investigations, inspections, tests or audits unless accompanied by a representative of the Vendor, provided that the Vendor shall make a representative available on a reasonable basis upon receiving such notice.

The Purchaser shall pay all costs of any repairs required to be made to the Property as a result of the aforesaid investigations, inspections, tests and audits, and shall fully indemnify the Vendor from all costs of repairing any damage caused by such inspections, tests or audits and all Claims relating to any such inspections, tests and audits and from all Claims incurred by the Vendor as a result thereof including, without limitation, any builders' liens registered against the Property as a result thereof. This indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement regardless of the cause of such termination. If the Purchaser does not perform such repairs, the Vendor shall have the right to perform, or cause to be performed, such work and to obtain reimbursement for the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs of such work from the Purchaser, provided that the Vendor shall, if possible in the circumstances, provide the Purchaser with advance written notice of the work to be done, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the rights of the Vendor hereunder or otherwise render the Vendor liable to the Purchaser.
The provisions of this Section 2.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
2.4 Purchaser's Investigations
- (a)
- On or before 5:00 p.m. on the Due Diligence Date the Purchaser may conduct (subject to compliance with other relevant provisions of this Agreement) all investigations, inspections, reviews, tests and audits relating to the Property (including, without limitation, title to the Subject Assets and compliance with Applicable Laws) and the Transaction (collectively referred to herein as the "Due Diligence") which the Purchaser deems necessary or desirable in its discretion.
- (b)
- The obligation of the Purchaser to complete the Transaction pursuant to this Agreement is subject to the condition that the Purchaser is satisfied with the Due Diligence in its sole and absolute discretion on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Due Diligence Date. The Purchaser shall be deemed to be satisfied with the results of its Due Diligence unless it delivers to the Vendor on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Due Diligence Date a written notice (the "Non-Waiver Notice") stating that it does not waive the condition contained in this Subsection 2.4(b). If the Purchaser delivers the Non-Waiver Notice to the Vendor prior to 5:00 p.m. on the Due Diligence Date, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate at such time and, upon such termination, the Purchaser and the Vendor shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement (except for those obligations which are expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement).

ARTICLE 3
PURCHASE PRICE

- The Vendor (or its or the Purchaser's agent) shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser at least one (1) Business Day prior to Closing a statement (the "Statement of Adjustments") of the Adjustments to be made on Closing with all Adjustments made as of the Closing Date.

The Vendor shall give to the Purchaser access to the Vendor's working papers and back up materials in order to confirm the Statement of Adjustments.
If the final cost or amount of any item which is to be adjusted on Closing cannot be determined at Closing, then an initial Adjustment for such item shall be made at Closing, such amount to be estimated by the Vendor and the Purchaser, each acting reasonably, on the basis of the best evidence available at the Closing as to what the final cost or amount of such item will be. In each case when such cost or amount is determined the Vendor or the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall within thirty (30) days thereafter provide a complete statement of such final determination to the other and within thirty (30) days thereafter (or if there is a dispute over such amount, within thirty (30) days after the matter is determined by the accountants pursuant to Subsection 3.2(d)) the necessary adjusting payment shall be made.
- (c)
- The Purchaser shall provide the Vendor and its auditors, during normal business hours at any time and from time to time after Closing upon reasonable prior notice to the Purchaser, access to the books, files and records of the Purchaser, for the purpose of calculating or verifying the amount of any Adjustments.

The cost of such accountants' determination shall be shared equally between the parties hereto.
- (d)
- No Adjustments (including readjustments of amounts initially adjusted for at Closing) may be claimed by either party after the first anniversary of the Closing (the "Final Adjustment Date"). Based solely upon the Adjustments (including readjustments) claimed by either party before the Final Adjustment Date, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Vendor on or before the twentieth 20th day of the calendar month following the month in which the Final Adjustment Date occurs (or, if such day is not a Business Day on the next following Business Day) a statement of Readjustments which shall set out all final Adjustments (including readjustments) that have not previously been determined and paid and also setting out the amount of the adjusting payment to be made by the Vendor or the Purchaser, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after such statement of Readjustments is delivered to the Vendor (or if there is a dispute over such statement, within thirty (30) days after all disputes with respect to such statement are determined by the

- (h)
- on the Closing Date there shall not exist any default or any event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default in the performance observance of the obligations on the part of the Vendor under any of the Existing Leases, the Approved Leases (if any), the Existing Contracts, the Approved Contracts (if any) or the Permitted Encumbrances;

4.4 Reasonable Efforts to Satisfy Conditions

The Purchaser shall be allowed until 5:00 p.m. on the Due Diligence Date, at its own expense, to examine title to the Property and the other matters referred to in the next paragraph and to submit to the Vendor its objections to the title to the Property and such matters.

Except for any valid objection so made, and except for any objection going to the root of title or for any other matter or thing arising on or before the Due Diligence Date, the Purchaser shall be conclusively deemed to have accepted the Vendor's title to the Property and satisfied itself with respect to the other matters referred to in this Section 5.1.

If the notice of the proposed condemnation and/or exercise of eminent domain is received by the Vendor at such time that there would be insufficient time for the Purchaser to make its election hereunder, the Closing Date shall be postponed to a date which is five (5) Business Days after the Purchaser's election.
8.6 General Covenants of the Vendor
The Vendor covenants and agrees with the Purchaser that from and after the date hereof:

19
- (b)
- the Vendor shall not (i) create or permit to exist any encumbrance against or affecting the Property or any part thereof or interest therein or (ii) amend any of the Permitted Encumbrances, except in each case with the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by the Purchaser in respect of Permitted Encumbrances; and
- (c)

ARTICLE 9
ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Environmental Indemnification by the Vendor
Subject to Section 7.3, for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date and no longer (the "Indemnity Period") the Vendor agrees to indemnify and save harmless each of the Purchaser, its directors, officers, employees and agents and any successor to the Purchaser's interest in the Property (including, without limitation, persons to whom this indemnity is assigned) and all directors, officers, employees and agents of such successors, from and against any and all Claims suffered or incurred by any such person as a result of or arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with any one or more of the following:
- (a)
- any event occurring or any condition existing on or prior to the Closing Date relating to the Property which now or hereafter constitutes a violation of, or gives rise to any liability under, Environmental Laws; and
- (b)
- any generation, manufacture, processing, distribution, use, presence, treatment, storage, disposal, release, transport or handling of any Hazardous Substance in, on, under or from the Property, whether by the Vendor or any tenant or any other person prior to the Time of Closing, and whether or not known at the Time of Closing.
For greater certainty, the Vendor's obligation to indemnify and save harmless as provided above exists regardless of whether there has been a breach of any of the provisions contained in Section 7.1 hereof.
9.2 Assignability of Environmental Indemnification
During the Indemnity Period, the Purchaser may, at any time and from time to time, assign all or any part of the benefit of the indemnity set out in Section 9.1 to any purchaser of, or lender to the Purchaser in respect of, the Property, by delivering a notice in writing to the Vendor setting out the Purchaser's intention to assign all or part of the benefit of the indemnity and the identity of the person or persons to whom the assignment is to be made. Upon any such assignment, the Vendor shall be bound to indemnify the person or persons named in such notice to the extent of the assignment of the indemnity as if such person or persons were a party to this Agreement as the Purchaser. No such assignments shall relieve the Vendor of the obligation to indemnify under Section 9.1 and such obligations shall continue unaffected by the assignment for the Indemnity Period. Any such assignee may make a further assignment during the Indemnity Period in accordance with the foregoing provisions, as if all references therein to the Purchaser were to such assignee.
ARTICLE 10
PROFIT PARTICIPATION
10.1 Profit Participation
- (a)
- It is acknowledged that the Purchaser is contemplating the rezoning of the Property following Closing, and may sell or develop the Property or a portion thereof (either independently for the Purchaser's own account or through a joint venture with a third party). In connection therewith, the Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that it shall grant to the Vendor an unsecured long-term
20
profit participation of fifteen percent (15%) (the "Profit Participation") of the net revenue of the Property (as calculated below), if any, after the Purchaser has achieved an internal rate of return (the "IRR") of fifteen percent (15%). The Purchaser shall be deemed to have received a fifteen percent (15%) IRR with respect to its capital contributions to the Property when the total capital contributions made from time to time by the Purchaser are returned to the Purchaser together with an annual return thereon equal to fifteen percent (15%), calculated commencing on the date such capital contributions are made or deemed to have been made and compounded annually to the extent not paid on a current basis, taking into account the timing and amounts of all capital contributions by the Purchaser and all revenues of any kind (including "net revenue" as discussed below) derived from or attributable to the Property and paid (or treated as paid) to the Purchaser. For greater certainty, (i) the capital contributions by the Purchaser shall include (without limitation), the Purchase Price, all costs incurred by the Purchaser to rezone or redevelop the Property, and any and all carrying costs derived from the Closing and (ii) any and all internal Purchaser fees, charges, allocations or overheads shall be excluded from any calculation of the IRR.
- (b)
- For the purposes hereof, in the event the Purchaser sells the Property, "net revenue" shall mean the net cash proceeds received (or treated as received) by the Purchaser (or, as provided for in paragraph (g) below, one or more of its affiliates) from such sale, less all third party costs arising in connection therewith. In the event the Purchaser determines not to sell the Property, but instead either (i) transfers the Property to a joint venture or (ii) develops the Property, "net revenue" shall mean the value attributed to the Property at the time of transfer to the joint venture, in the former case, or the value attributed to the lands by a third party independent appraisal, in the latter case.
- (c)
- The Purchaser shall deliver to the Vendor Profit Participation calculations not later than February 15 of each fiscal year commencing with fiscal year 2008 if so requested in writing by the Vendor prior to January 1 of the applicable fiscal year. In addition, the Purchaser shall (i) deliver to the Vendor Profit Participation calculations not later than forty-five (45) days after the final parcel of the Property has been sold, transferred or developed and appraised and (ii) pay to the Vendor the Profit Participation, if any, sixty (60) days after the final parcel of the Property has been sold, transferred or developed and appraised.
- (d)
- In the event the Purchaser has only partially sold, transferred or developed the Property, the Vendor may make a one-time request of payment (the "Vendor Request") based on a Profit Participation to be calculated using the net revenue, if any, derived to such date from that portion of the Property sold, transferred or developed, together with the value of the remaining portion of the Property on the basis of an appraisal of such portion of the Property with any then-existing improvements and entitlements. The Vendor Request may be made at any point six (6) months following the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall deliver to the Vendor Profit Participation calculations not later than forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Vendor Request and, where such calculations call for a payment of a Profit Participation to the Vendor, such payment shall be made no later than fifteen (15) days after delivery of the calculations.
- (e)
- For greater certainty, upon payment to the Vendor of Profit Participation pursuant to the terms of either of the preceding two paragraphs, the Vendor shall have no further right to any Profit Participation and no further payments shall be due to the Vendor in relation to the Property.
- (f)
- The Purchaser shall, upon completing any Profit Participation calculation, provide all information and materials to the Vendor in respect of such Profit Participation calculation used to determine the same in order that the Vendor may audit the calculation. The Vendor shall be entitled to conduct an audit any time within 90 days of receiving the Profit Participation calculation materials from the Purchaser and shall be entitled to audit all aspects of Profit Participation calculations completed by the Purchaser or at the Purchaser's direction. Notwithstanding the Vendor's acceptance of any payment from the Purchaser with respect to such Profit Participation calculations, in the event the Vendor completes an independent audit of the Profit Participation and it is determined by the Vendor's independent auditors that the actual calculation of Profit Participation is incorrect, then

ARTICLE 11
GUARANTEE
11.1 Guarantee to the Vendor
For valuable consideration, the Guarantor hereby guarantees payment to the Vendor (forthwith after demand therefor as hereinafter provided) of the liabilities (if any) when due and payable (pursuant to the terms of Section 10.1 hereof) which the Purchaser or its successors and assigns has incurred or is under, to the Vendor that arise only by virtue of Section 10.1 hereof (the "Guaranteed Amounts") and Guarantor agrees that:
- (a)
- this shall be a continuing guarantee and shall cover all liabilities (if any) of the Purchaser to the Vendor under and in respect of the Guaranteed Amounts arising after the Closing Date and shall be binding as a continuing obligation of the Guarantor until all Guaranteed Amounts have been paid in full (by the Purchaser, the Guarantor or a combination thereof), following which, this Guarantee shall be at an end;
- (b)
- any change or changes in the name of the Purchaser shall not affect or in any way limit or lessen the liability of the Guarantor hereunder and this guarantee shall extend to the Person acquiring or from time to time carrying on the business of the Purchaser;
- (c)
- in the case of liquidation, winding-up or bankruptcy of the Purchaser (whether voluntary or compulsory) or if the Purchaser shall make any composition with creditors or scheme of arrangement, the Vendor shall have the right to rank for its full claim in respect of the Guaranteed Amounts then due and payable and receive all dividends or other payments in respect thereof until the Vendor's claim in respect of such Guaranteed Amounts then due and payable has been paid in full (by the Purchaser, the Guarantor or a combination thereof) and the Guarantor shall continue to be liable for any balance which may be owing to the Vendor by the Purchaser in respect of the Guaranteed Amounts;
- (d)
- notwithstanding any other provision in this Article 11 to the contrary, if, pursuant to the terms of Section 10.1 hereof, Guaranteed Amounts are due and payable to the Vendor, the accrual of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be conditional upon the Vendor having first pursued and exhausted its rights for such Guaranteed Amounts against the Purchaser. For greater certainty, before demand for payment is made by the Vendor to the Guarantor for any Guaranteed Amounts, the Vendor shall have: (i) made a request of, or demand upon, the Purchaser in writing for such Guaranteed Amounts (with a copy of such request or demand to be delivered to the Guarantor at the time of delivery of same to the Purchaser); and (ii) for a period of sixty (60) days thereafter, used reasonable commercial efforts to satisfy such claim from the Purchaser. In the event any Guaranteed Amounts remain outstanding after such sixty (60) day period, the Guarantor shall make payment to the Vendor of such Guaranteed Amounts forthwith after demand therefor is made by the Vendor in writing;
- (e)
- the provisions of this Article 11 shall extend to and enure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Vendor under this Agreement and shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns, references herein to the "Purchaser" shall mean and refer to the Purchaser and its successors and permitted assigns under this Agreement; and
22
- (f)
- the provisions of this Section 11.1 shall survive the Closing.
