First American Title Insurance Company (“Escrow Agent”) joins in this Agreement for the limited purposes set forth herein.
BACKGROUND
A. This Agreement is made with reference to the following property (collectively, the “Property”):
(1) Seller’s fee interest in that certain real property located at:

• certain areas adjacent to Belpre I, Belpre II, Belpre III and Belpre IV (“Minnite Family Property”),
which land is more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, together with all easements, rights and privileges appurtenant thereto, if any (each of Belpre I, Belpre II, Belpre III, Belpre IV and Minnite Family Property is a “Parcel” and all of the Parcels are collectively, the “Land”);
(2) All of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the four (4) medical office buildings located upon the Land (the “Buildings”), together with all improvements, structures, fixtures and parking areas located on the Land, if any, and appurtenant thereto (the Buildings and such improvements, structures, fixtures and parking areas being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Improvements,” and the Land and the Improvements being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Real Property”);
(3) All of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the tenant leases and subleases relating to the Improvements and other occupancy agreements with tenants and subtenants occupying or using all or any portion of the Real Property (collectively with all amendments thereto, the “Leases”), any and all security deposits, letters of credit, advance rental, letters of credit or like payments, if any, held by Seller (collectively, the “Security Deposits”), and all guaranties of the Leases, if any, held by Seller;
1 |
(4) All of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all fixtures, equipment, appliances, and other personal property of every nature and description attached or pertaining to, or otherwise used in connection with, the Real Property, owned by Seller and located within the Real Property but expressly excluding any of the foregoing owned or leased by any tenant and any personal property owned or leased by a third party (the “Personal Property”); and
(5) All of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all intangible rights and property used or useful in connection with the foregoing, if any, including, without limitation, all development rights, contract rights, guaranties, licenses, plans, drawings, permits and warranties and all of Seller’s rights, title and interest, if any, in and to any service marks, logos or any trade names as well as all of Seller’s rights and remedies under all construction, design and related agreements relating to the Buildings (collectively, the “Intangible Property”); provided, however, that this provision does not include and shall not restrict in any manner Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any intangible rights and property similar in nature to the Intangible Property, but which is not related to the Real Property, Buildings, Land, or Improvements other than those which become a Removed Parcel or Removed Parcels hereunder, including, but not limited to, the use of Seller entity names, the development of real estate other than the Real Property, Buildings, Land, or Improvements owned or hereafter owned by Seller or any of Seller entities, regardless of location, and the ownership, operation, development, leasing or sale or conveyance of any Removed Parcel or Removed Parcels.
The terms “Real Property” and “Property” shall be amended to reflect the exclusion of a “Removed Parcel” (as defined in Section 6.3.1 below) from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
B. Seller is prepared to sell, transfer and convey the Property to Buyer, and Buyer is prepared to purchase and accept the same from Seller, all for the Purchase Price and on the other terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree:
1. Sale and Purchase. Seller hereby agrees to sell, transfer and convey the Property to Buyer, and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase and accept the Property from Seller, in each case for the Purchase Price and subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2. Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property (the “Purchase Price”) shall be Sixty-Four Million Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($64,200,000). Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Parcels in the manner set forth on the attached Schedule 1 (the “Allocated Purchase Price”). Seller and Buyer agree that the Allocated Purchase Price has been arrived at by a process of arm’s length negotiations, including, without limitation, the parties’ best judgment as to the fair market value of each respective asset, and Seller and Buyer will consistently reflect those allocations on their respective federal, state and local tax returns, including any state, county and other local transfer or sales tax declarations or forms to be filed in connection with this transaction, which obligations shall survive the Closing. In the event either Seller or Buyer desires to adjust the Allocated Purchase Price between the Effective Date and the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate to effect such adjustment and Schedule 1 shall be amended to reflect such adjustment.
2 |
The Purchase Price, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, shall be paid to Seller by Buyer as follows:
2.1 Deposit. Within three (3) Business Days (as defined below) following the mutual execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer and Seller, Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Agent a deposit in the amount of One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) (together with any interest thereon, the “Initial Deposit”). If Buyer approves all matters pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period and if the Closing has not already occurred, Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Agent an additional deposit in the amount of One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) (together with any interest thereon, the “Additional Deposit”) within three (3) Business Days following the expiration of the Inspection Period. The Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Deposit.” The Deposit shall be delivered to Escrow Agent in immediately available funds, to be held in escrow and delivered in accordance with this Agreement at the following address: First American Title Insurance Company, 777 S. Figueroa St., 4th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90017, attention: Brian Serikaku, Senior Escrow Officer, telephone: (213) 271-1774, facsimile: (877) 398-1603, e-mail: bmserikaku@firstam.com. Each Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that the Deposit shall be allocated among each Parcel in the same percentage allocation as the Purchase Price is allocated to each Building on the Property (with respect to each Property, the “Allocated Deposit”).
2.2 Payment at Closing.
(a) OP Units. The parties acknowledge and agree that all or a portion of the Purchase Price may be payable to Minnite Family, LLC, a West Virginia limited liability company (the “OP Unit Holder”) in partnership units (the “OP Units”) in Global Medical REIT, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), Buyer’s sole member. The amount of the Purchase Price to be paid through the issuance of OP Units (the “OP Unit Issuance Amount”) and the Parcel(s) or portions thereof to be contributed in exchange for OP Units shall be determined by Seller, at its sole discretion, upon the delivery of written notice to Buyer and to Escrow Agent no later than 5:00 pm (Eastern Time) on the date that is two (2) Business Days after Buyer has delivered to Seller a copy of GMR REIT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017; provided, however that the OP Unit Issuance Amount shall not exceed Five Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($5,500,000.00). The number of OP Units to be received by OP Unit Holder will be equal to the quotient of the portion of the Purchase Price to be received by such individual or entity divided by the greater of either (i) the Market Value (as defined below) or (ii) Nine and 00/100 Dollars ($9.00). The transfer of the OP Units to each such individual or entity shall be evidenced by an amendment (the “Operating Partnership Amendment”) to the OP Partnership Agreement (as defined in Section 4.30(d)). As used herein, the term “Market Value” shall be equal to the Volume Weighted Average Price of the common stock of Global Medical REIT Inc. as reported on the New York Stock Exchange during the twenty (20) trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date. No fractional OP Units will be issued and all fractional interests, if any, shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.
3 |
(b) At the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby (the “Closing”), Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Agent cash or immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Purchase Price, less the Deposit and less the OP Unit Issuance Amount. To the extent paid in cash or immediately available funds, the Purchase Price, subject to adjustments and apportionments as set forth herein, shall be paid at Closing by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds, transferred to the order or account of Seller or such other person as Seller may designate in writing.
(c) The delivery and recording of documents and the disbursement of funds shall be effectuated through the Escrow Agent at the Closing and pursuant to the closing instructions from the parties hereto, which closing instructions shall not modify or diminish the parties’ respective obligations hereunder.
2.3 Independent Consideration. Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) of the Deposit shall be paid to Seller if this Agreement is terminated for any reason (the “Independent Contract Consideration”), in addition to any other rights Seller may have hereunder. Moreover, Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that the Independent Contract Consideration has been bargained for and agreed to as additional consideration for Seller’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and is non-refundable to Buyer.
2.4 Allocation. Seller and Buyer acknowledge that no portion of the Purchase Price is allocated to the Personal Property, if any, transferred pursuant to this Agreement.
2.5 Tax Consequences to Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including without limitation the use of words and phrases such as “sell,” “sale,” “purchase,” and “pay,” the parties hereto acknowledge, agree and consent that it is their intention that the transactions contemplated hereby be treated for federal income tax purposes (i) in accordance with Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) with respect to any portion of the Purchase Price that is payable in OP Units; and (ii) as a sale of the Property to the Operating Partnership to the extent of the Seller’s receipt of cash consideration pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement.
3. Property Information; Confidentiality. No later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller shall, to the extent the items are in Seller’s possession or are readily available to Seller, deliver to Buyer accurate and complete copies of all of the information set forth on Exhibit “K” (collectively, the “Property Information”). All Property Information shall be delivered to Attention: Alfonzo Leon, Chief Investment Officer, Global Medical REIT, address: 2 Bethesda Metro Center, Suite 440, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, telephone: (202) 524-6853, facsimile: (202) 380-0891, e-mail: AlfonzoL@globalmedicalreit.com.
4 |
The Property Information, or much of the Property Information, is proprietary and confidential in nature, and the disclosure or use thereof in violation of these provisions will result in serious damage to Seller. Accordingly, unless otherwise required by law, including without limitation, court order, legal process or securities laws, Buyer will hold all Property Information in strict confidence, will not use or disclose to any third party or permit the use or disclosure to any third party of any Property Information except to such directors, officers, managers, members, partners, employees, agents, or representatives who need such Property Information for the proper performance of their assigned duties relating to the evaluation of the transaction contemplated hereby, and shall take appropriate action to cause their directors, officers, managers, members, partners, employees, agents, or representatives to be bound by the provisions hereof, and shall remain liable for any disclosure or misuse of such information by any such director, officer, manager, member, partner, employee, agent or representative. Buyer may disclose such Property Information to third party professional advisors for evaluation, provided that such advisors agree not to use any such Property Information except as provided in this Agreement, and provided further that Buyer shall remain liable under this Agreement for any disclosure or misuse of such Property Information by any such advisor.
In the event that either party terminates this Agreement, Buyer shall, upon request of Seller, immediately deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller, without retaining any copies thereof, or destroy, at the option of Seller, any and all documents, statements or other information obtained from the Seller containing Property Information as well as any summary, record or notation thereof, except to the extent any such summary, record or notation is subject to any attorney-client, work-product, confidentiality, or other privilege and/or except to the extent Buyer is required to retain such documents, statements, other information, summary, record or notation by law or by Buyer’s internal document retention policies.
Buyer agrees that breach of these provisions will cause Seller irreparable injury for which an adequate remedy does not exist at law alone, and that Seller may, in addition to seeking damages at law as hereinafter provided, obtain an injunction to stop any breach. Northing contained in this paragraph, however, shall limit the resort by Seller to any right or remedy available at law, including, but not limited to, available remedies pursuant to state of federal statutes protecting trade secrets or other statutory protections or remedies, or at common law, for damages or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, these provisions shall not apply to any Property Information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of improper disclosure hereunder; or (ii) was available or becomes available to Buyer on a non-confidential basis.
3.1 Entry. During the Inspection Period (as defined below), Buyer and its agents and representatives shall be entitled to enter upon the Real Property from time to time (as coordinated through Seller’s property manager), including all leased areas, upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, to perform inspections and tests of the Property, including surveys, environmental studies, examinations and tests of all structural and mechanical systems within the Improvements, to interview Seller’s key personnel and to examine the books and records of Seller and Seller’s property manager relating to the Property.
5 |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be permitted to interfere unreasonably with Seller’s operations at the Property or disturb or interfere with any tenant’s rights, occupancy and operations at the Property, and the scheduling of any inspections shall take into account the timing and availability of access to tenants’ premises and tenant’s aforesaid rights, occupancy and operation. If Buyer wishes to engage in any testing which is invasive, which will disturb any portion of the Property, which will involve sampling, or which will involve testing of subsurface soils, surface water, or groundwater, Buyer shall obtain Seller’s prior written consent thereto which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that no such inspections, testing or sampling shall disturb or damage any improvements on or to the Property. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller from any claims, damages, liabilities, or losses arising from any damage to persons or property directly caused by Buyer’s investigations conducted pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that Buyer shall have no obligation to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any such claims, damages, liabilities, or losses to the extent resulting from Seller’s acts or omissions or Buyer’s mere discovery of adverse physical conditions affecting the Property, including, without limitation, any Hazardous Materials (as defined below).
3.2 Inspection Period. The term “Inspection Period,” as used herein, shall mean the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the date which is thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, provided, that if such date is not a Business Day (as defined below), then the Inspection Period shall continue through 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the next Business Day following such date. Buyer may terminate this Agreement in its entirety, and only in its entirety, in its sole discretion for any reason or no reason by giving written notice of such election to Seller at any time prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, in which event the Deposit shall automatically be refunded and returned forthwith to Buyer and, except as expressly set forth herein, neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other hereunder. In the absence of such written notice of termination, the contingency provided for in this Section 3.2 no longer shall be applicable, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
3.3 Title and Survey Matters. Title to the Real Property shall be examined by Buyer at its cost. If said title examination and a preliminary title report and/or any title insurance commitment Buyer may obtain from Escrow Agent (acting in its capacity as title company (the “Title Company”)), (the “Title Report”), or any survey obtained by Buyer at its cost, discloses material defects in title to the Real Property to which Buyer objects (collectively “Title Objections”), Buyer shall notify Seller in writing within twenty (20) days of Buyer’s receipt of the Title Report and/or survey. If Buyer timely notifies Seller in writing of the Title Objections, Seller shall have five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice (the “Title Cure Period) to elect (but shall have no obligation whatsoever) to cure any Title Objection, and if so elected, shall either (a) satisfy the Title Objections at Seller’s sole cost and expense, or (b) provide Buyer and the Title Company with satisfactory evidence that Seller can and will cure such Title Objections prior to or at Closing; provided, however, Seller shall be obligated to remove, pay and/or satisfy prior to or at Closing any monetary liens against the Property (each, a “Monetary Lien”). Failure by Seller to timely respond in writing to any Title Objections shall be deemed Seller’s decision to cure any Title Objections. If Seller elects not to satisfy any of the Title Objections or otherwise fails to satisfy the Title Objections within the Title Cure Period, Buyer shall have the option, exercisable within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Title Cure Period, to (i) waive the unsatisfied Title Objections, in which event the unsatisfied Title Objections will become Permitted Exceptions (hereinafter defined), or (ii) terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall automatically be refunded and returned forthwith to Buyer and, except as expressly set forth herein, neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other hereunder. If Buyer fails to notify Seller in writing within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Title Cure Period that Buyer has elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.3, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all unsatisfied Title Objections. If, after the expiration of the Inspection Period, Title Company amends or adds any exception to the Title Report other than at the request of Buyer (including any liens against the Property for a liquidated amount that Seller is not obligated hereunder to satisfy at Closing), the Title Company will notify Buyer and Seller immediately. Within two (2) Business Days after Buyer receives notice from Title Company (and the Closing Date shall be extended if needed so that the Closing shall not occur prior to the end of such two (2) Business Day period), together with a copy of such intervening lien or matter, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any objections thereto (a “Supplemental Title Objection”). If Buyer fails to notify Seller of such Supplemental Title Objection within such two (2) Business Day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any objection and approved all such exceptions. If the Supplemental Title Objection is material and adverse to the Property, is not caused by Buyer and Seller does not agree to remove such matter (other than any Monetary Lien), then Buyer may within two (2) Business Days after the Supplemental Title Objection, terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall automatically be refunded and returned forthwith to Buyer and, except as expressly set forth herein, neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other hereunder. If Seller has not received written notice from Buyer that Buyer has elected to terminate this Agreement within such two (2) Business Day period of time, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any unsatisfied Supplemental Title Objection. “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean any title or survey item, other than Monetary Liens: (i) not raised as Title Objections by Buyer, or (ii) raised as Title Objections by Buyer but thereafter waived or deemed waived.
6 |
Buyer shall have the right, but is not obligated, to obtain a current survey of the Property which shall be at Buyer’s sole expense.
3.4 Memoranda of Leases. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the end of the Inspection Period, Seller shall cause to be recorded a memorandum of lease with respect to each Lease. Such memorandum shall be in a form acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion. In the event Seller is unable to cause to be recorded a memorandum of lease with respect to a Lease despite using commercially reasonable efforts to do so, such failure shall not constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement.
4. Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:
4.1 Authority. Seller has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and all documents contemplated hereby by Seller has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Seller, and all required consents and approvals have been duly obtained and will not result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under any indenture, agreement or instrument to which any Seller is a party, other than those related to Monetary Liens to be resolved, paid and/or satisfied prior to or at Closing. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
7 |
4.2 No Conflict. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement nor compliance herewith (i) conflicts or will conflict with or results or will result in a breach of or constitutes or will constitute a default under (a) any agreement or instrument to which Seller is a party or by which all or any part of the Property is bound other than those related to Monetary Liens to be resolved, paid and/or satisfied prior to or at Closing or (b) any law or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority, (ii) results in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon its property pursuant to any such agreement or instrument, or (iii) violates any restriction, requirement, covenant or condition to which all or any part of the Property is bound.
4.3 OFAC Compliance. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, Seller is in compliance with the requirements of Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (Sept. 25, 2001) (the “Order”) and other similar requirements contained in the rules and regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) and in any enabling legislation or other Executive Orders or regulations in respect thereof (the Order and such other rules, regulations, legislation or executive orders are collectively referred to herein as the “Orders”). To the best of Seller’s knowledge, neither Seller nor any beneficial owner of Seller:
4.3.1 is listed on the Specifically Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by OFAC pursuant to the Orders or on any other list of terrorists or terrorist organizations maintained pursuant to any of the rules and regulations of OFAC or pursuant to any other applicable Orders (collectively, the “Lists”);
4.3.2 is a person who has been determined by competent authority to be subject to the prohibitions contained in the Orders;
4.3.3 is owned or controlled by, or acts for or on behalf of, any person or entity listed on the Lists or any other person or entity who has been determined by competent authority to be subject to the prohibitions contained in the Orders; or
4.3.4 shall transfer or permit the transfer of any interest in Seller or any beneficial owner in Seller to any person or entity who is, or any of whose beneficial owners are, listed on the Lists.
4.4 No Governmental Authority Required. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, no authorization, consent or approval of any governmental authority (including, without limitation, courts) is required for the execution and delivery by Seller of this Agreement or the performance of its obligations hereunder.

No event or circumstance has occurred since delivery of such Investor Questionnaire to make the statements contained therein false or misleading.

(e) OP Unit Holder understands that there will be no public market for the OP Units, that it cannot dispose of the OP Units or the Common Stock except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration thereunder, and that neither GMR REIT nor the Operating Partnership has any obligation or intention to register any of the OP Units or the Common Stock or to take action so as to permit sales pursuant to the Securities Act (including Rule 144 promulgated thereunder which permits limited resales of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions). OP Unit Holder understands that the operating performance of GMR REIT and the Operating Partnership is subject to risks associated with the real estate industry, that stock values are subject to fluctuations and cycles in value and demand, and that it must bear the economic risk of the investment in the OP Units for an indefinite period of time.

14 |
(h) OP Unit Holder has received and reviewed all other information and documents about or pertaining to GMR REIT, the Operating Partnership, the business and prospects of GMR REIT and the Operating Partnership and the issuance of the OP Units as OP Unit Holder deems necessary or desirable, and has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or documents and to ask questions and receive answers about such information and documents, GMR REIT, the Operating Partnership, the business and prospects of GMR REIT and the Operating Partnership and the OP Units that OP Unit Holder deems necessary or desirable to evaluate the merits and risks related to its investment in the OP Units and to conduct its own independent valuation of the OP Units; and OP Unit Holder understands and has taken cognizance of all risk factors related to the purchase of the OP Units. IN ACQUIRING THE OP UNITS AND ENGAGING IN THIS TRANSACTION, OP UNIT HOLDER IS NOT RELYING UPON ANY REPRESENTATIONS MADE TO IT BY GMR REIT, THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, OR ANY OF THE OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP NOT CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS TRANSACTION. OP Unit Holder is relying upon its own independent analysis and assessment (including with respect to taxes), and the advice of OP Unit Holder’s advisors (including tax and investment advisors), and not upon that of GMR REIT, the Operating Partnership or any of their respective advisors or affiliates, for purposes of evaluating, entering into, and consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(i) OP Unit Holder recognizes that an investment in the Operating Partnership involves investment risks and it has taken full cognizance of and understands all of the risk factors relating to the purchase of the OP Units.

OP Unit Holder recognizes that none of the Operating Partnership, GMR REIT or any other person has promised, represented, or guaranteed: (i) the safety of any capital investment in the Operating Partnership; (ii) that the Operating Partnership will be profitable; or (iii) that any particular investment return will be achieved by the Operating Partnership. Further, OP Unit Holder understands that any such promise, representation, or guarantee, if made, would be strictly unauthorized and should not be relied on by OP Unit Holder.
(j) OP Unit Holder is not investing in OP Units as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice, or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any investment seminar, or meeting open to the public.

10.1.1 Taxes and Operating Expenses. All real estate taxes, charges and assessments affecting the Property (“Taxes”), all operating expenses including charges for water, electricity, sewer rental, gas, telephone, fuel oil and all other utilities (“Operating Expenses”), to the extent not paid directly by tenants, and all common area maintenance charges billed to tenants on an estimated basis (“CAM Charges”) shall be prorated on a per diem basis as of the Closing Date; provided, however, Seller shall remain liable for all retroactive Taxes (including all state and local transaction privilege taxes for all time periods prior to Closing). Buyer shall be entitled to all income and responsible for all expenses for the period beginning at 12:01 a.m. Central time on the Closing Date, except as set forth herein. If any Taxes have not been finally assessed as of the Closing Date for the current fiscal year of the taxing authority, then the same shall be adjusted at Closing based upon the most recently issued bills therefor, and shall be re-adjusted when and if final bills are issued. If any Operating Expenses or CAM Charges cannot conclusively be determined as of the Closing Date, then the same shall be adjusted at Closing based upon the most recently issued bills thus far or as otherwise reasonably estimated by Buyer and Seller, and readjusted within 120 days after the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs or as soon thereafter as final adjustment figures are available including final tenant reimbursement reconciliations. Buyer hereby agrees to assume all non-delinquent assessments affecting the Property, whether special or general, subject to proration on a per diem basis as of the Closing Date.
23 |
All refunds of Taxes received by Seller or Buyer after the Closing with respect to the property tax appeals (“Tax Refund”) shall be applied (A) first, to reimburse Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, for third party expenses incurred in protesting and obtaining such Tax Refund, (B) second, to Buyer to the extent that such Tax Refund is required to be paid to (or credited against other amounts payable by) any tenant under any leases or other agreement, and (C) third, (x) to Seller if such Tax Refund is for any period which ends before the Closing Date, (y) to Buyer if such Tax Refund is for any period which commences on or after the Closing Date, or (z) to Seller and Buyer prorated based on the Closing Date, if such Tax Refund is for a period which includes the Closing Date. If Seller or Buyer receives any Tax Refund, then each shall retain or promptly pay such amounts (or portions thereof) in order that such payments are applied in the manner set forth in this Subsection. Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate with respect to any pending Tax Refund request, and the provisions of this subsection shall survive Closing.
10.1.2 Rents. Except for delinquent rent, all rent under the Leases shall be prorated to the Closing Date on a collected basis. Delinquent rent shall not be prorated but shall remain the property of Seller. Payments received from tenants from and after the Closing Date shall be applied first to rents then due for the current period and then to amounts owed to Buyer with respect to periods following the Closing, and then to rents delinquent as of the Closing Date. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to collect delinquent rents for the benefit of Seller, and shall cooperate with Seller in the collection of any delinquent amounts, but shall not be required to terminate any Leases or evict any tenants.
10.1.3 Charges under Assigned Contracts. The unpaid monetary obligations of Seller with respect to any of the Assigned Contracts shall be prorated on a per diem basis as of the Closing Date.
10.1.4 Security Deposits. The Security Deposits (together with any accrued interest thereon as may be required by law or contract) shall be transferred or credited to Buyer as of the Closing Date, and to the extent Seller has any Security Deposits held in the form of a letter of credit, such letters of credit shall, at Seller’s expense (to the extent not the responsibility of the tenant under the applicable Lease), be transferred to Buyer as of Closing.
10.1.5 Bankruptcy Distributions. Any portion of bankruptcy distributions (whether or not Seller has filed its proof of claim as of the date hereof) or payments pursuant to (i) settlement agreements (whether prepared by Seller’s in-house counsel or outside counsel), (ii) arrearage payment plans by letters signed by Seller or its agent, (iii) lease termination agreements, (iv) promissory notes, or (v) judgments (whether already obtained by Seller or which result from lawsuits or proceedings filed prior to the Closing) providing for the payment of specified sums, either in a lump sum or in installments, in all cases which are applicable to the time period prior to the Closing Date but payable after the date of Closing and actually received by Buyer, shall be payable to Seller.
24 |
10.1.6 Survival. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the Closing to the extent any monies may be payable pursuant to this Section 10.1 to either party subsequent to the transfer of title to the Property to Buyer. Any reimbursements payable by any tenant under the terms of any Lease affecting the Property as of the Closing Date, which reimbursements pertain to such tenant’s pro rata share of increased operating expenses or common area maintenance costs incurred with respect to the Property at any time prior to the Closing, shall, to the extent not capable of being prorated at Closing, shall be prorated upon Buyer’s actual receipt of any such reimbursements, on the basis of the respective share of such costs or expenses paid by Seller and Buyer during the period in respect of which such reimbursements are payable; and Buyer agrees to pay to Seller, Seller’s pro rata portion of such reimbursements within thirty (30) days after Buyer’s receipt thereof. Conversely, if any tenant under any such Lease shall become entitled at any time after Closing to a refund of tenant reimbursements actually paid by such tenant prior to Closing, then, Seller shall, within thirty (30) days following Buyer’s demand therefor, pay to Buyer any amount equal to Seller’s pro rata share of such reimbursement refund obligations, said proration to be calculated on the same basis as hereinabove set forth. It is agreed that adjustment billings to tenants for operating expenses, common area maintenance charges, taxes or insurance premiums for the accounting year in which the Closing occurs shall be billed by Buyer and shall be adjusted between Seller and Buyer based upon the respective percentages of the total related expenses paid by each of Buyer and Seller for such accounting year. To satisfy Buyer’s foregoing obligation to bill tenants for the full calendar year 2018, within thirty (30) days following Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer with general ledgers for calendar year 2018 through the Closing Date.
10.2 Closing Costs. Buyer and Seller shall each pay their own legal fees related to the preparation of this Agreement and, except as otherwise provided herein, all documents and acts required to settle the transaction contemplated hereby. Except as otherwise provided herein, Buyer shall pay all costs associated with its investigation of the Property, including the cost of appraisals, architectural, engineering, credit and environmental reports. Seller shall pay: (i) one-half (½) of Escrow Agent’s fees, costs and expenses, (ii) one-half (½) of the premium for the ALTA Standard Title Policy for the Property, (iii) all costs associated with the cure or removal of any title objections by Buyer that Seller is obligated or agrees to remove or cure (including, without limitation, all costs required to eliminate any mechanics’ or materialmen’s lien exceptions), and (iv) all transfer taxes, if any. Buyer shall pay: (i) one-half (½) of Escrow Agent’s fees, costs and expenses, (ii) the cost of the survey, (iii) one-half (½) of the premium for the ALTA Standard Title Policy for the Property, (iv) the cost of the Extended Title Policy Coverage and any endorsements to the Title Policy if required by Buyer, and (v) all fees to record the Deed and any mortgage obtained by Buyer. All Closing costs not described above shall be borne by Seller and Buyer, respectively, in the matter customarily borne by sellers and buyers, respectively, of real property in the county in which the Real Property is located.
25 |
11. Damage or Destruction; Condemnation; Insurance. If at any time prior to the Closing Date there is damage or destruction to the Property, the cost for repair of which exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and the Property cannot be restored to its original condition prior to Closing, or if more than five percent (5%) of the rentable area of any Building is condemned or taken by eminent domain proceedings by any public authority, then, at Buyer’s option, (i) Buyer may elect to treat any affected Parcel as a Removed Parcel, or (ii) this Agreement shall terminate, and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and except as expressly set forth herein, neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other hereunder.
If there is any damage or destruction or condemnation or taking, regardless of the cost of any repair, and if Buyer elects not to terminate this Agreement or treat the affected Parcel as a Removed Parcel as herein provided (to the extent Buyer is entitled to do so), then (1) in the case of a taking, all condemnation proceeds paid or payable to Seller shall belong to Buyer and shall be paid over and assigned to Buyer at Closing, and Seller shall be paid at Closing for the reasonable expenses incurred by Seller in connection with such taking; and (2) in the case of a casualty, Seller shall assign to Buyer all rights to any insurance proceeds paid or payable under the applicable insurance policies, less any of Seller’s costs of collection and any sums expended by Seller in restoration, and Seller’s deductible shall be a credit to Buyer against the Purchase Price, and the parties shall proceed with the Closing without any reduction in the Purchase Price payable to Seller.
12. Remedies.
12.1 Buyer Default. In the event Buyer breaches or fails, without legal excuse, to complete the purchase of the Property or to perform its obligations under this Agreement and such failure continues for five (5) Business Days following receipt of written notice regarding same (other than the failure of Buyer to deliver “Buyer’s Deliveries” pursuant to Section 9.3 hereunder, for which there shall be no grace or cure period), then Seller shall, as their exclusive remedy therefor, be entitled to receive the Deposit, plus all interest earned and accrued thereon, as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) in lieu of, and as full compensation for, all other rights or claims of Seller against Buyer by reason of such default. Thereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the parties shall be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities hereunder, except as expressly set forth herein. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the damages to Seller resulting from Buyer’s breach would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain with any accuracy, and that the liquidated damage amount set forth in this Section represents both parties’ best efforts to approximate such potential damages.
12.2 Seller Default. If the sale of the Property is not consummated due to a breach or default under this Agreement on the part of Seller, Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, avail itself of any and all rights and remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to terminate this Agreement or treat any affected Parcel as a Removed Parcel and recover all damages proximately caused by Seller’s breach or default, the right to specific performance and the right to continue this Agreement pending Buyer’s action for specific performance and/or damages hereunder, and no such remedy shall be deemed exclusive or to preclude the pursuit of any other remedy. Any damages to which Buyer is entitled shall include, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, all title, escrow, legal and inspection fees and any other expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the performance of its due diligence review of the Property, including, without limitation, environmental and engineering consultants’ fees and the fees incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement.

16. Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, subject to the following:
16.1 Obligations. Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against Escrow Agent.
16.2 Reliance. Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any writing or instrument or signature which it, in good faith, believes, and any statement or assertion contained in such writing or instrument, and may assume that any person purporting to give any writing, notice, advice or instrument in connection with the provisions of this Agreement has been duly authorized to do so. Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any manner for the sufficiency or correctness as to form, manner and execution, or validity of any instrument deposited in escrow, nor as to the identity, authority, or right of any person executing the same, and Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement shall be limited to those provided in this Agreement. Upon receipt by Escrow Agent from either Buyer or Seller of any notice or request (the “Escrow Demand”) to perform any act or disburse any portion of the monies held by Escrow Agent under the terms of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party (the “Notified Party”).

16.3 Indemnification. Unless Escrow Agent discharges any of its duties under this Agreement in a negligent manner or is guilty of willful misconduct with regard to its duties under this Agreement, Seller and Buyer shall indemnify Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, losses, actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, or other expenses, fees, or charges of any character or nature, which it may incur or with which it may be threatened by reason of its acting as Escrow Agent under this Agreement; and in such connection Seller and Buyer shall indemnify Escrow Agent against any and all expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the cost of defending any action, suit or proceeding or resisting any claim in such capacity.
28 |
16.4 Disputes. If the parties (including Escrow Agent) shall be in disagreement about the interpretation of this Agreement, or about their respective rights and obligations, or the propriety of any action contemplated by Escrow Agent, or the application of the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit until the receipt of written instructions from both Buyer and Seller or a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Escrow Agent shall be indemnified for all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees in its capacity as Escrow Agent in connection with any such interpleader action and shall be fully protected in suspending all or part of its activities under this Agreement until a final judgment in the interpleader action is received.
16.5 Counsel. Escrow Agent may consult with counsel of its own choice and have full and complete authorization and protection in accordance with the opinion of such counsel. Escrow Agent shall otherwise not be liable for any mistakes of fact or errors of judgment, or for any acts or omissions of any kind, unless caused by its negligence or willful misconduct.
16.6 Interest. All deposits into the escrow shall be held by the Escrow Agent in an interest bearing account.

This Section 17.1 shall survive the Closing.
17.2 Buyer’s Indemnification. From and after Closing, Buyer shall reimburse, indemnify, defend and hold Seller and Seller’s employees, agents, representatives, contractors and invitees harmless from and against any and all damage, loss, liability, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from: (a) any non-contractual claims of third-parties relating to Buyer’s use, operation or ownership of the Property, in each case, first arising from and after the Closing, (b) breaches by Buyer on or after Closing of its obligations under any Assigned Contract and (c) Buyer’s failure to pay the expenses required under this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity does not apply to any loss, liability, cost, claim, damage or injury to the extent caused by acts or omissions of Seller or is otherwise subject to Seller’s indemnity obligations pursuant to Section 17.1.
29 |
17.3 Definition of Exist. For purposes of this Section 17, an obligation shall be deemed to “exist” as of the Closing if it relates to an event which occurred prior to the Closing even if it is not asserted until after the Closing. The terms of the indemnities set forth above shall survive the Closing.
18. Miscellaneous.
18.1 Assignability. Except as provided in Section 18.19, Seller shall not assign any of its right, title, claim or interest in, to or under this Agreement. Buyer may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any one or more affiliates of Buyer upon notice to Seller.
18.2 Governing Law; Bind and Inure. This Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of Ohio without regard to its conflicts of laws principles and shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, assigns and personal representatives.
18.3 Recording. Neither this Agreement nor any notice or memorandum hereof shall be recorded in any public land record. A violation of this prohibition shall constitute a material breach entitling the non-breaching party to terminate this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing the parties agree that the Right of First Offer shall be recorded in the county in which the Real Property is located concurrently with the Closing.
18.4 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
18.5 Further Assurances. Each party will, whenever and as often as it shall be requested to do so by the other party, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered any and all such further conveyances, assignments, approvals, consents and any and all other documents and do any and all other acts as may be necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement. Each of Minnite Family, LLC, a West Virginia limited liability company, Belpre I, LLC, a West Virginia limited liability company, Belpre II, LLC, a West Virginia limited liability company, Belpre III, LLC, a West Virginia limited liability company, and Belpre IV, LLC shall be jointly and severally liable for each of the obligations of Seller hereunder. The provisions of this Section 18.5 shall survive the Closing.
18.6 Exclusivity. Until the Closing Date or the date that this Agreement is terminated, Seller shall not enter into any contract, or enter into or continue any negotiations, to sell the Property to any person or entity other than Buyer, nor will Seller solicit proposals from, or furnish any non-public information to, any person or entity other than Seller’s agents, attorneys and lenders and Buyer regarding the possible sale of the Property.
30 |
18.7 Non-Solicitation. For the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller covenants and agrees that it shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Affiliates, or its successors and assigns, directly or indirectly, to call on or solicit any tenant of the Property for the purpose of leasing space to such tenant at another property managed, operated or otherwise controlled by Seller or its Affiliates other than Belpre V and the 721 Farson Parcel. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to requests made by or discussions initiated by Marietta Memorial Hospital regarding the transfer of individual physicians or employees among facilities operated by Marietta Memorial Hospital. The parties acknowledge that the restrictions on solicitation set forth in the preceding sentence are reasonable in scope and are essential to the protection of the legitimate business interests of Buyer. The parties further acknowledge and agree that since a remedy at law for any breach or attempted breach of the provisions of this Section 18.7 would be inadequate, Buyer shall be entitled to preliminary or permanent injunctive relief for any violation of this Section 18.7, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Buyer hereunder, at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the restrictions on solicitation in this Section 18.7 are judged unreasonable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the parties agree to the reformation of such restriction(s) by the court to limits which may reasonably grant Buyer the maximum protection permitted by applicable law in such circumstances. For the purposes of this Section, the term (a) “Affiliate” means any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture or other entity, regardless of how organized or identified, which is directly or indirectly controlled by Seller, and (b) “control” means, when used with respect to any person, the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise, and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have correlative meanings. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.
18.8 Headings. The headings preceding the text of the paragraphs and subparagraphs hereof are inserted solely for convenience of reference and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement, nor shall they affect its meaning, construction or effect.
18.9 Counterparts. Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile and electronically transmitted signatures shall for all purposes be treated as originals.
18.10 Exhibits. All Exhibits which are referred to herein and which are attached hereto or bound separately and initialed by the parties are expressly made and constitute a part of this Agreement.
18.11 Use of Proceeds to Clear Title. To enable Seller to make conveyance as herein provided, Seller shall, at the time of Closing, direct the Escrow Agent to use the Purchase Price or any portion thereof to clear the title of any or all encumbrances or interests; provided that provision reasonably satisfactory to Buyer’s attorney is made for prompt recording of all instruments so procured in accordance with conveyancing practice in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located.
18.12 Submission not an Offer or Option. The submission of this Agreement or a summary of some or all of its provisions for examination or negotiation by Buyer or Seller does not constitute an offer by Seller or Buyer to enter into an agreement to sell or purchase the Property, and neither party shall be bound to the other with respect to any such purchase and sale until a definitive agreement satisfactory to Buyer and Seller in their sole discretion is executed and delivered by both Seller and Buyer.

18.19 Section 1031 Exchange. Either party may consummate the purchase or sale of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (an “Exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code, provided that (i) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of an Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of any Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to a party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) any party desiring an Exchange shall effect its Exchange through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary and the other party shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished or replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating such Exchange; and (iii) the party desiring an Exchange shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by Buyer or Seller had such party not consummated its purchase or sale through an Exchange.

19.5 Evidence and Issuance of OP Units.

Buyer shall cause the Operating Partnership to issue the OP Units directly to the partners of Seller pursuant to a letter of direction from Seller provided to Buyer prior to Closing, provided that such partners have also furnished Buyer with a completed and fully executed Investor Questionnaire certifying its status as an “accredited investor” as defined in Section 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act.
19.6 Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Regulations, etc.
(a) OP Unit Holder acknowledges that:
(1) The Partnership may be subject to certain provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. § 5311 et seq.) as amended (“Bank Secrecy Act”), the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “Patriot Act”), including, but not limited to, Title III thereof, the International Money Laundering and Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001 (“Title III”), certain regulatory and legal requirements imposed or enforced by OFAC and other similar laws of the United States;
34 |
(2) To comply with applicable U.S. anti-money laundering legislation and regulations, all payments by OP Unit Holder to the Operating Partnership and all distributions to OP Unit Holder from the Operating Partnership will only be made in OP Unit Holder’s name and to and from a bank account of a bank based in or incorporated under the laws of the United States or a bank that (i) is not a “foreign shell bank” within the meaning of the Bank Secrecy Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, as such regulations may be amended from time; (ii) is not in a “non-cooperative jurisdiction” as defined by the Financial Action Task Force; and (iii) is not a financial institution, is not involved in transactions, and is not in a jurisdiction of, primary money laundering concern, as defined in section 311 of the Patriot Act;

(4) OP Unit Holder agrees to provide the Operating Partnership and/or GMR REIT at any time during which OP Unit Holder holds the OP Units with such information as the Operating Partnership and/or GMR REIT determines to be necessary or appropriate to comply with the anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism laws and regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, or to respond to requests for information concerning the identity of OP Unit Holder from any governmental authority, self-regulatory organization, or financial institution in connection with its anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism compliance procedures, or to update such information;
(5) Either before or after acceptance of this investment, the Operating Partnership and/or GMR REIT may be required to report any information received from OP Unit Holder, or report the failure of OP Unit Holder to comply with requests for information, to appropriate governmental authorities, in certain circumstances without informing OP Unit Holder that such information has been reported; provided that any information received from OP Unit Holder will not be used for any purpose other than ensuring that the Operating Partnership and/or GMR REIT is in compliance with applicable law, regulations, orders, directives, or special measures, including, but not limited to, those imposed or enforced by OFAC, the Patriot Act, and Title III; and
(6) The Operating Partnership and/or GMR REIT, without a Limited Partner’s consent or approval, may take such steps that it determines are necessary to comply with applicable law, regulations, orders, directives, or special measures, including, but not limited to, those imposed or enforced by OFAC, the Patriot Act, and Title III, possibly including, among other things, prohibiting a Limited Partner from making further capital contributions to the Operating Partnership, depositing distributions to which such Limited Partner would otherwise be entitled into an escrow account or causing the withdrawal of such Limited Partner from the Operating Partnership.

In addition, certain programs administered by OFAC (the “OFAC Programs”) prohibit dealing with individuals or entities in certain countries regardless of whether such individuals or entities appear on the lists maintained by OFAC. These programs also can be found on OFAC’s website. OP Unit Holder represents and warrants that, to the best of OP Unit Holder’s knowledge, none of: (1) OP Unit Holder; (2) any person controlling or controlled by OP Unit Holder; (3) if OP Unit Holder is a privately held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in OP Unit Holder; or (4) any person for whom OP Unit Holder is acting as agent or nominee in connection with the purchase of the OP Units is (A) an individual or entity named on the SDN List, (B) a person who is the subject of one of the OFAC Programs, (C) a senior non-U.S. political figure, or any immediate family member or close associate of a senior non-U.S. political figure,1 (D) a non-U.S. shell bank, or (E) a bank of primary money laundering concern as defined in section 311 of the Patriot Act.

(c) OP Unit Holder represents and warrants to the Operating Partnership that the amounts to be contributed by OP Unit Holder to the Operating Partnership will not be derived from specified unlawful activities as defined by the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, as amended, or other activities that may contravene U.S. or non-U.S. federal, state, or local laws, statutes, or regulations, including anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism laws and regulations.
(d) OP Unit Holder represents and warrants to the Operating Partnership that it is not an “Unacceptable Investor” (as defined in Section 19.7).

(a) OP Unit Holder covenants and agrees to provide promptly, and update periodically, at any times requested by GMR REIT, all information, documentation, certifications and forms (including, without limitation, any tax forms), and verifications thereof that GMR REIT deems necessary to comply with (x) any requirement imposed by Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, and any Regulations, forms, instructions or other guidance issued pursuant thereto (commonly referred to as “FATCA”), any similar legislation, regulations or guidance enacted or promulgated by any jurisdiction or international organization which seeks to implement similar tax reporting and/or withholding tax regimes, (y) any intergovernmental agreement between any jurisdictions concerning the collection and sharing of information, and (z) any current or future legislation, regulations or guidance promulgated by or between any jurisdictions or international organizations (including, without limitation, the OECD) giving rise to or effect to any item described in clause (x) or (y) (collectively, all of the authorities described in clauses (x), (y) and (z) are referred to herein as “Tax Information Reporting Regimes”), including but not limited to information, documentation, certifications and forms (and verifications thereof) as GMR REIT deems necessary:
37 |
(1) to determine the residence, citizenship, country of domicile, incorporation or organization, and any tax status ascribed to OP Unit Holder and its beneficial owners pursuant to Tax Information Reporting Regimes (including, without limitation, the most current applicable version of IRS Form W-8 or W-9, and any other “self-certification” documentation GMR REIT deems necessary);
(2) to determine whether withholding of tax is required with respect to amounts payable or attributable to OP Unit Holder pursuant to any Tax Information Reporting Regime (including, without limitation, FATCA);
(3) to satisfy reporting obligations imposed by any Tax Information Reporting Regime (including, without limitation, FATCA), for the Operating Partnership to enter into any agreement required pursuant to any Tax Information Reporting Regime (including, without limitation, FATCA); or
(4) to comply with the terms of such an agreement on an annual or more frequent basis.
All of the information, documentation, certifications and forms (and verifications thereof) described in this Section 19.8, collectively with the tax forms and any other tax-related information collected pursuant to this Agreement or the OP Partnership Agreement, is referred to herein as “Tax Information”.
(b) OP Unit Holder covenants and agrees to waive any provision of applicable law that would, absent a waiver, prevent it from satisfying any of its reporting or withholding obligations under any Tax Information Reporting Regime.
(c) OP Unit Holder acknowledges that if it fails to supply any Tax Information required pursuant hereto on a timely basis, the Operating Partnership may be subject to withholding taxes pursuant to Tax Information Reporting Regimes (including FATCA). OP Unit Holder hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Operating Partnership and its partners or other owners against any such withholding taxes or any other penalties that may arise as a result of action or inaction by OP Unit Holder not being in compliance with this Agreement or the Investor Questionnaire in connection with any Tax Information Reporting Regime. OP Unit Holder further acknowledges that its failure to comply with any requirement pursuant to this Section 19.8 may result in the Operating Partnership being unable to enter into or comply with an agreement required pursuant to a Tax Information Reporting Regime, or may cause the termination of such an agreement. Accordingly, GMR REIT shall have the right, without limitation, to cause a transfer of OP Unit Holder’s interest to one or more other electing Partners on a pro rata basis, to GMR REIT or any of its Affiliates, or to a third party designated by or acceptable to GMR REIT (as determined by GMR REIT in its sole discretion) that have agreed to purchase such interest for the maximum consideration that may be obtained for such interest, or take any other steps as GMR REIT determines in its sole discretion are necessary or appropriate to mitigate the consequences of OP Unit Holder’s failure to comply with this Section 19.8 on the Operating Partnership and the other Partners.
(d) OP Unit Holder shall promptly notify GMR REIT in writing if any governmental body terminates any agreement entered into with OP Unit Holder pursuant to FATCA or any Tax Information Reporting Regime.
38 |
(e) OP Unit Holder acknowledges that any Tax Information requested or compiled by GMR REIT, the Operating Partnership or their agents pursuant to this Agreement or any Tax Information Reporting Regime, may be disclosed to (1) the IRS and U.S. Department of Treasury when the provision of Tax Information is required by the IRS and U.S. Department of Treasury, (2) any other governmental body which collects information pursuant to an applicable Tax Information Reporting Regime when the provision of Tax Information is required by any such other governmental body, and (3) any withholding agent to avoid the application of any withholding tax on any payments to the Operating Partnership.
(f) OP Unit Holder further consents to the disclosure of Tax Information concerning OP Unit Holder and its owners to, and the collection, access, processing and storage of Tax Information concerning OP Unit Holder and its owners by, affiliates and agents of the Operating Partnership and GMR REIT, and other service providers to any of them, in any jurisdiction, including in the United States and in countries outside the European Economic Area, for the purposes of (1) providing services related to any Tax Information Reporting Regime, and (2) assisting any of them with compliance with any Tax Information Reporting Regime, including the disclosure by such parties of Tax Information to applicable governmental authorities or international organizations.
OP Unit Holder acknowledges that Tax Information can become subject to the legal systems and laws in force in each state or country (1) where it is held, received or stored, (2) from where it is accessed in connection with providing services related to any Tax Information Reporting Regime or other services, or (3) through which it passes, and such jurisdictions may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which OP Unit Holder is domiciled.

“Units” has the meaning set forth in the Recitals.
Exhibit “M” – Page 4 |
ARTICLE 2
RESTRICTIONS ON DISPOSITIONS OF
GAIN LIMITATION PROPERTIES
2.1 Restrictions on Disposition of Gain Limitation Properties.
(a) The Partnership agrees for the benefit of each Protected Partner, for the term of the Tax Protection Period, not to directly or indirectly sell, exchange, transfer, or otherwise dispose of a Gain Limitation Property or any interest therein, without regard to whether such disposition is voluntary or involuntary, in a transaction that would cause any Protected Partner to recognize any Protected Gain.
Without limiting the foregoing, the term “sell, exchange, transfer, or otherwise dispose of a Gain Limitation Property” shall be deemed to include, and the prohibition shall extend to:
(i) | any direct or indirect disposition by any direct or indirect Subsidiary of any Gain Limitation Property or any interest therein; |
(ii) | any direct or indirect disposition by the Partnership of any Gain Limitation Property (or any direct or indirect interest therein) that is subject to Section 704(c)(1)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder; and |
(ii) | any distribution by the Partnership to a Protected Partner that is subject to Section 737 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. |
Without limiting the foregoing, a disposition shall include any transfer, voluntary or involuntary, by the Partnership or any Subsidiary in a foreclosure proceeding, pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or in a bankruptcy proceeding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.1 shall not apply to a voluntary, actual disposition by a Protected Partner of Units in connection with a merger or consolidation of the Partnership pursuant to which (1) the Protected Partner is offered as consideration for the Units either cash or property treated as cash pursuant to Section 731 of the Code (“Cash Consideration”) or partnership interests and the receipt of such partnership interests would not result in the recognition of gain for federal income tax purposes by the Protected Partner (“Partnership Interest Consideration”); (2) the Protected Partner has the right to elect to receive solely Partnership Interest Consideration in exchange for his Units, and the continuing partnership has agreed in writing to assume the obligations of the Partnership under this Agreement; (3) no Protected Gain is recognized by the Partnership as a result of any partner of the Partnership receiving Cash Consideration; and (4) the Protected Partner elects or is deemed to elect to receive solely Cash Consideration.
Exhibit “M” – Page 5 |
(b) Notwithstanding the restriction set forth in this Section 2.1, the Partnership and any Subsidiary may dispose of any Gain Limitation Property (or any interest therein) if such disposition qualifies as a “like-kind exchange” under Section 1031 of the Code, or an involuntary conversion under Section 1033 of the Code, or other transaction (including, but not limited to, a contribution of property to any entity that qualifies for the non-recognition of gain under Section 721 or Section 351 of the Code, or a merger or consolidation of the Partnership with or into another entity that qualifies for taxation as a “partnership” for federal income tax purposes that, as to each of the foregoing, does not result in the recognition of any taxable income or gain to any Protected Partner with respect to any of the Units; provided, however, that in the case of a “like-kind exchange” under Section 1031 of the Code, if such exchange is with a “related party” within the meaning of Section 1031(f)(3) of the Code, any direct or indirect disposition by such related party of the Gain Limitation Property or any other transaction prior to the expiration of the two (2) year period following such exchange that would cause Section 1031(f)(1) of the Code to apply with respect to such Gain Limitation Property (including by reason of the application of Section 1031(f)(4) of the Code) shall be considered a violation of this Section 2.1 by the Partnership.
ARTICLE 3
REMEDIES FOR BREACH
3.1 Monetary Damages. In the event that the Partnership breaches its obligations set forth in Article 2, with respect to a Protected Partner, the Protected Partner’s sole remedy shall be to receive from the Partnership, and the Partnership shall pay to such Protected Partner as damages, an amount equal to:
(a) | the aggregate federal, state, and local income taxes incurred by the Protected Partner or an Indirect Owner with respect to the Protected Gain that is allocable to such Protected Partner under the Partnership Agreement as a result of the disposition of the Gain Limitation Property, plus |
(b) | an amount equal to the aggregate federal, state, and local income taxes payable by the Protected Partner or an Indirect Owner as a result of the receipt of any payment required under this Section 3.1. |
For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership shall have no liability pursuant to this Section 3.1 if the Partnership merges into another entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or the Protected Partner accepts an offer to exchange its Units for equity interests in another entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes so long as, in either case, such successor entity assumes or agrees to assume the Partnership’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
For purposes of computing the amount of federal, state, and local income taxes required to be paid by a Protected Partner (or Indirect Owner), (b) any deduction for state income taxes payable as a result thereof actually allowed in computing federal income taxes shall be taken into account, and (c) a Protected Partner’s (or Indirect Owner’s) tax liability shall be computed using the highest federal, state and local marginal income tax rates that would be applicable to such Protected Partner’s (or Indirect Owner’s) taxable income (taking into account the character and type of such income or gain) for the year with respect to which the taxes must be paid, without regard to any deductions, losses or credits that may be available to such Protected Partner (or Indirect Owner) that would reduce or offset its actual taxable income or actual tax liability if such deductions, losses or credits could be utilized by the Protected Partner (or Indirect Owner) to offset other income, gain or taxes of the Protected Partner (or Indirect Owner), either in the current year, in earlier years, or in later years.
Exhibit “M” – Page 6 |
3.2 Process for Determining Damages. If the Partnership has breached or violated any of the covenants set forth in Article 2 (or a Protected Partner asserts that the Partnership has breached or violated any of the covenants set forth in Article 2), the Partnership and the Protected Partner (or Indirect Owner) agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding any such breach or violation and the amount of damages, if any, payable to such Protected Partner (or Indirect Owner) under Section 3.1. If any such disagreement cannot be resolved by the Partnership and such Protected Partner (or Indirect Owner) within sixty (60) days after the receipt of notice from the Partnership of such breach and the amount of income to be recognized by reason thereof (or, if applicable, receipt by the Partnership of an assertion by a Protected Partner that the Partnership has breached or violated any of the covenants set forth in Article 2), the Partnership and the Protected Partner shall jointly retain a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm (an “Accounting Firm”) to act as an arbitrator to resolve as expeditiously as possible all points of any such disagreement (including, without limitation, whether a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Article 2 has occurred and, if so, the amount of damages to which the Protected Partner is entitled as a result thereof, determined as set forth in Section 3.1). All determinations made by the Accounting Firm with respect to the resolution of any breach or violation of any of the covenants set forth in Article 2 and the amount of damages payable to the Protected Partner under Section 3.1 shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Partnership and the Protected Partner. The fees and expenses of any Accounting Firm incurred in connection with any such determination shall be shared equally by the Partnership and the Protected Partner, provided that if the amount determined by the Accounting Firm to be owed by the Partnership to the Protected Partner is more than five percent (5%) higher than the amount proposed by the Partnership to be owed to such Protected Partner prior to the submission of the matter to the Accounting Firm, then all of the fees and expenses of any Accounting Firm incurred in connection with any such determination shall be paid by the Partnership and if the amount determined by the Accounting Firm to be owed by the Partnership to the Protected Partner is more than five percent (5%) less than the amount proposed by the Partnership to be owed to such Protected Partner prior to the submission of the matter to the Accounting Firm, then all of the fees and expenses of any Accounting Firm incurred in connection with any such determination shall be paid by the Protected Partner.
3.3 Required Notices; Time for Payment. In the event that there has been a breach of Article 2, the Partnership shall provide to each affected Protected Partner notice of the transaction or event giving rise to such breach not later than at such time as the Partnership provides to the Protected Partners the IRS Schedule K-1’s to the Partnership’s federal income tax return for the year of such transaction. All payments required to be made under this Article 3 to any Protected Partner shall be made to such Protected Partner on or before April 15 of the year following the year in which the gain recognition event giving rise to such payment took place; provided that, if the Protected Partner is required to make estimated tax payments that would include such gain (taking into account all available safe harbors), the Partnership shall make a payment to the Protected Partner on or before the due date for such estimated tax payment and such payment from the Partnership shall be in an amount that corresponds to the amount of the estimated tax being paid by such Protected Partner at such time as a result of the gain recognition event. In the event of a payment made after the date required pursuant to this Section 3.3, interest shall accrue on the aggregate amount required to be paid from such date to the date of actual payment at a rate equal to the “prime rate” of interest, as published in the Wall Street Journal (or if no longer published there, as announced by Citibank) effective as of the date the payment is required to be made.

ARTICLE 6
AMENDMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT; WAIVER OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS
6.1 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, directly or indirectly (including by reason of a merger between either the Partnership or the REIT and another entity) except by a written instrument signed by the REIT, the Partnership, and each of the Protected Partners to be subject to such amendment, except that the Partnership may amend Schedule 2.1(a) upon a person becoming a Protected Partner as a result of a transfer of Units.
6.2 Waiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request by the Partnership, each Protected Partner, in its sole discretion, may waive the payment of any damages that is otherwise payable to such Protected Partner pursuant to Article 3 hereof.

ARTICLE 7
MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 Additional Actions and Documents. Each of the Parties hereby agrees to take or cause to be taken such further actions, to execute, deliver, and file or cause to be executed, delivered and filed such further documents, and will obtain such consents, as may be necessary or as may be reasonably requested in order to fully effectuate the purposes, terms and conditions of this Agreement.

The REIT and the Partnership covenant with and for the benefit of the Protected Partners not to undertake any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of either entity (whether by merger, transfer, spin-off or otherwise) unless the transferee has acknowledged in writing and agreed in writing to be bound by this Agreement, provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to permit any transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.
7.4 Modification; Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by any Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Party in any case shall entitle such Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
7.5 Representations and Warranties Regarding Authority; Noncontravention.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of the REIT and the Partnership and the performance of each of its respective obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary trust, partnership, or other (as the case may be) action on the part of each of the REIT and the Partnership. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of the REIT and the Partnership and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each of the REIT and the Partnership, enforceable against each of the REIT and the Partnership in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws (or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally) or (ii) general principles of equity. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of the REIT and the Partnership do not, and the performance by each of its respective obligations hereunder will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of (i) the Partnership Agreement or (ii) any other agreement applicable to the REIT and/or the Partnership, other than, in the case of clause (ii), any such conflicts or violations that would not materially adversely affect the performance by the Partnership and the REIT of their obligations hereunder.

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER AGREEMENT
THIS RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of __________, 2018 (the “Effective Date”) by and between _________________, a _______________________ (“Seller”) and GMR BELPRE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”), with respect to the following Recitals:
RECITALS
A. Seller and Buyer previously entered into that certain Contribution and Sale Agreement, dated _______________, 2018 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) wherein Seller agreed to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agreed to purchase from Seller, that certain property located at 807 Farson St., 805 Farson St., 803 Farson St. and 799 Farson St., Belpre, Ohio 45714 (the “Property”), as more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. All initially capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
B. Seller also owns that certain real property known as 809 Farson St., Belpre, Ohio 45714 (the “ROFO Property”), as more particularly described on Exhibit B attached hereto.
C. As a material inducement for Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Buyer has required and Seller has agreed to enter into this Agreement which gives Buyer certain rights to purchase the ROFO Property, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals (which are incorporated herein by this reference) and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Exhibit “O” – Page 1 |
AGREEMENT
1. | Rights of First Offer. |
(a) ROFO Property. For so long as Buyer, directly or indirectly owns any portion of the Property, Seller shall, prior to Seller and/or any of its affiliates seeking or negotiating (or upon the receipt of an offer from a third party seeking or negotiating) (i) for the sale or purchase, as applicable, of all or any portion of the ROFO Property or (ii) any third party investment or financial arrangement with respect to developing all or any portion of the ROFO Property, deliver a “ROFO Notice” (as defined in, and in accordance with, Section 1(b) below) to Buyer.
(b) ROFO Notice; Right of First Offer. A “ROFO Notice” shall (i) state Seller’s intentions with respect to the ROFO Property, (ii) summarize the transaction that Seller and/or its affiliates are considering (including, without limitation, information regarding the debt and equity, or ownership interests or investment opportunities that Seller wishes to offer to, or has received from, a third party), (iii) contain the material economic terms upon which Seller would, in good faith, expect to be able to enter into its contemplated transaction in the market and (iv) offer (in each case, a “Right of First Offer”) to Buyer the opportunity to consider whether it will purchase the ROFO Property on material economic terms substantially similar or equivalent, as the case may be, to those contained in such notice. Seller shall also provide any reasonable additional information that it has with respect to the transaction and the ROFO Property, which Buyer may reasonably request in connection with its consideration of the transaction, including without limitation, a complete copy of the offer that Seller and/or its affiliates are considering. Buyer shall have twenty (20) business days from the date upon which it receives a ROFO Notice to notify Seller of its exercise of such Right of First Offer (or to notify Seller of its intention to exercise such Right of First Offer subject to the approval of Buyer’s Board of Directors, in which case Buyer shall notify Seller of its exercise of such Right of First Offer on or before the thirtieth (30th) business day following the date upon which it receives such ROFO Notice). If Buyer has not responded to a ROFO Notice within the aforementioned time periods, Buyer shall have been deemed to waive its Right of First Offer with respect to the ROFO Property, subject to the Right of First Refusal with respect to the ROFO Property and the other express terms of this Agreement. Upon Buyer’s rejection, or deemed rejection of a Right of First Offer with respect to the ROFO Property, Seller shall then have the right to cause the transaction described in such ROFO Notice to occur with any third party, provided that (a) the closing of such transaction occurs within one (1) year of the date on which Buyer is deemed to have waived such Right of First Offer, and (b) there are no “Material Changes to the ROFO Terms” (as defined in Section 1(c) below) from those set forth in such ROFO Notice.
(c) Material Changes to the ROFO Terms; Failure to Close. “Material Changes to the ROFO Terms” shall mean that (i) the aggregate effective economic terms are less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the aggregate effective economic terms set forth in the applicable ROFO Notice (i.e., before payment of any commissions or other transaction costs) and/or (ii) any other material term is not substantially similar to such material term as set forth in the applicable ROFO Notice. If any transaction with a third party relating to the ROFO Property does not close within one (1) year of the date on which Buyer is deemed to have waived its Right of First Offer with respect thereto, the ROFO Property shall again become subject to a Right of First Offer.
Exhibit “O” – Page 2 |
(d) Revised Offer Notice. If, after Buyer rejects or is deemed to have rejected its Right of First Offer with respect to the ROFO Property, there are any Material Changes to the ROFO Terms with respect thereto from those set forth in the ROFO Notice, before consummating any transaction with a third party based thereon, Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer of such Material Changes to the ROFO Terms (the “Revised Offer Notice”). Buyer shall then have the right to enter into the transaction upon the same terms as are set forth in the Revised Offer Notice (a “Right of First Refusal”) by delivering written notice of its exercise of such Right of First Refusal within fifteen (15) business days from the date upon which it receives the Revised Offer Notice (or to notify Seller of its intention to exercise its Right of First Refusal subject to the approval of Buyer’s Board of Directors, in which case Buyer shall notify Seller of its exercise of a Right of First Refusal on or before the thirtieth (30th) business day following the date upon which it receives the Revised Offer Notice). If Buyer has not responded to the Revised Offer Notice within the aforementioned time periods, Buyer shall have been deemed to waive its Right of First Refusal with respect to the ROFO Property.
(e) Closing. If Buyer has exercised its Right of First Offer or Right of First Refusal with respect to the ROFO Property pursuant to the terms of this Section 1, Buyer and Seller shall use good faith efforts to close such transaction within sixty (60) days of such exercise (or if the third party offer provides for a later closing date, such later date) upon the terms of definitive legal documents to be negotiated in good faith by the parties (substantially similar to the applicable terms of the Purchase Agreement to the extent that the proposed transaction is substantially similar to the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, if at all) as soon as practicable following the exercise of such Right of First Offer or Right of First Refusal, as the case may be, by Buyer.
2. | Miscellaneous Provisions. |
(a) Binding on Successors in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
(b) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Ohio.

(n) Further Assurances. Each party will, whenever and as often as it shall be requested to do so by the other party, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered any and all such further conveyances, assignments, approvals, consents and any and all other documents and do any and all other acts as may be necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement.
(o) Dispute Resolution.

If these negotiations are unsuccessful, or if it appears to either party that negotiations are stalled, at either party’s election, the dispute will be submitted to mediation to be held at a mutually acceptable location prior to either party filing a complaint or otherwise instituting litigation. In the event that such mediation does not resolve the dispute within ten (10) business days, either party may institute litigation.

INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE
[See attached]
Exhibit “P” – Page 1 |
Accredited Investor Questionnaire
Global Medical REIT L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), intends to distribute certain equity interests in the Company (the “Securities”) to the undersigned. The Securities will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state “blue sky” securities laws, but instead will be offered in reliance upon certain exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state laws. To support these exemptions, the Company requests that you complete this Accredited Investor Questionnaire (this “Questionnaire”) to enable the Company to determine whether you qualify as an “accredited investor” pursuant to the provisions of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
THE SECURITIES WILL NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD TO THE UNDERSIGNED UNLESS AND UNTIL THIS QUESTIONNAIRE HAS BEEN PROPERLY COMPLETED AS THOROUGHLY AS POSSIBLE, EXECUTED AND DELIVERED TO THE COMPANY. IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTOR THAT IS A PARTNERSHIP, TRUST OR CORPORATION WHICH DOES NOT ITSELF QUALIFY AS AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR, EACH EQUITY OWNER IN SUCH ENTITY MUST COMPLETE THIS QUESTIONNAIRE TO DETERMINE ACCREDITED STATUS.
This Questionnaire does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security.
If you wish to be considered an “accredited investor,” you must INITIAL the paragraph below which describes the suitability requirement under which you intend to qualify. We may ask you to provide additional information to document the representation initialed, as described within each paragraph. ONLY ONE PARAGRAPH NEED BE INITIALED. Please note that if the Securities will be held other than in an individual’s name, the information below should be supplied for the entity which will hold such Securities.
1. The undersigned is NOT an Accredited Investor.
OR
2. Individual Net Worth Suitability
This suitability requirement may be selected only by a natural individual(s),and NOT by a corporation, partnership, trust, estate, unincorporated association or other entity.
Exhibit “P” – Page 2 |
The undersigned represents and warrants that his or her individual net worth or joint net worth with his or her spouse, exceeds $1,000,000. For purposes of this Questionnaire, "net worth" means the excess of total assets at fair market value (including personal and real property, but excluding the estimated fair market value of a person's primary home) over total liabilities. Total liabilities excludes any mortgage on the primary home in an amount of up to the home's estimated fair market value as long as the mortgage was incurred more than 60 days before the Securities are purchased, but includes (i) any mortgage amount in excess of the home's fair market value and (ii) any mortgage amount that was borrowed during the 60-day period before the closing date for the sale of Securities for the purpose of investing in the Securities.
OR
3. Individual Net Income Suitability
This suitability requirement may be selected only by a natural individual(s), and NOT by a corporation, partnership, trust, estate, unincorporated association or other entity.
The undersigned represents and warrants that his or her individual net income was in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years, or his or her joint income with his or her spouse was in excess of $300,000 in each of those years, and he or she reasonably expects his or her net income to reach such level in the current year.
