ANNEX A
Schedule 7.3(b)(iii)
Landlord Consent
The Seller Parties and the Purchaser agree to make good faith efforts to obtain the Consent of each Third Party under the agreements listed in Section 1 below prior to the Closing Date and, if so requested by the Purchaser in its sole discretion, such later date as determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion;provided that in no event shall the Purchaser be required to agree to pay any amounts to any Third Party to obtain the applicable Consent. In the event that, prior to the Closing Date or such later date as determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion, the Seller Parties and the Purchaser are able to obtain the Consent of a Third Party, the terms of which are satisfactory to the Purchaser in its sole discretion (including approval by the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, of any amounts payable to such Third Party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any incremental increase in rent or storage and handling costs)), the Purchaser shall be responsible for paying such amounts to the applicable Third Party. In the event that prior to the Closing Date or, if the Purchaser in its sole discretion elects to continue to seek the Consent of such Third Party following the Closing Date, such later date as determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion, the Seller Parties and the Purchaser are unable to obtain the Consent of the applicable Third Party, the terms of which are satisfactory to the Purchaser in its sole discretion, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, RBS and Sempra Energy shall be solely responsible for, and shall (on a several basis in accordance with their respective Indemnity Share) pay and discharge, and reimburse the Purchaser and its Affiliates for, any and all fees, costs, payments, expenses, penalties, relocation costs, breakage costs and all other Damages relating to or arising from the failure to obtain or in connection with obt aining such Consent (except to the extent that the failure to obtain such Consent is determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction (a “Final Determination”) to be the result of the Purchaser’s failure to make good faith efforts consistent with the terms of this Schedule 7.3(b)(iii), but subject to Purchaser’s right to determine in its sole discretion whether the terms of any Consent are satisfactory).
The Seller Parties and the Purchaser agree to provide notice to each Third Party under the agreements listed in Section 2 below (the “Notice Leases”) prior to the Closing Date, which notice shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Seller Parties and the Purchaser. In the event that, at any time prior to, or within six (6) months following the Closing Date, any Third Party that is a party to a Notice Lease makes any assertion or claim in writing (including by facsimile or email) to the Seller Parties or to the Purchaser (and the Purchaser promptly provides a copy thereof to RBS and Sempra Energy), or the Purchaser certifies in writing (in accordance with Section 10.4 of this Agreement) to RBS and Sempra Energy that such Third Party has asserted or claimed, that such Third Party’s Consent is required under such Notice Lease in connection with the change in ownership of the tenant in c onnection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “Consent Claim”; and such Third Party an “Objecting Third Party”), the Seller Parties and the Purchaser shall make good faith efforts to obtain such Consent from such Objecting Third Party as promptly as possible and in any event prior to the date that is six (6) months following the later of the Closing Date and the date on which such Consent Claim is received or, if the Purchaser in its sole discretion elects to continue to seek the Consent of such Objecting Third Party following such six (6) month period, such later date as determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion (the date until which such parties will seek such Consent being the “Consent Efforts End Date” with respect to such Notice Lease). In the event that, prior to the relevant Consent Efforts End Date, the Seller Parties and the Purchaser are able to obtain the Consent of such Objecting Third Party, the terms of which are satisfactory to the Purchaser in its sole discretion (including approval by the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, of any amounts payable to such Objecting Third Party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any incremental increase in rent or storage and handling costs)), the Purchaser shall be responsible for paying such amounts to such Objecting Third Party. In the event that prior to the relevant Consent Efforts End Date, the Seller Parties and the Purchaser are unable to obtain the Consent of such Objecting Third Party, the terms of which are satisfactory to the Purchaser in its sole discretion, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, RBS and Sempra Energy shall be solely responsible for, and shall (on a several basis in accordance with their respective Indemnity Share) pay and discharge, and reimburse the Purchaser and its Affiliates for, any and all fees, costs, payments, expenses, penalties, relocation costs, breakage costs and all other Damages relating to or arising from the failure to obtain or in connection with obtaining such Consent (except to the extent that the failure to obtain such Consent is determined by a Final Determination to be the result of the Purchaser’s failure to make good faith efforts consistent with the terms of this Schedule 7.3(b)(iii), but subject to Purchaser’s right to determine in its sole discretion whether the terms of any Consent are satisfactory). For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller Parties shall not have any liability to the Purchaser under this Agreement in respect of any Notice Lease as a result of any failure to seek or obtain a consent under such Notice Lease if the relevant Third Party does not make a Consent Claim prior to, or within six (6) months following, the Closing Date.
In no event shall the Seller Parties’ aggregate liability in connection with this Schedule 7.3(b)(iii) exceed $6,000,000.
