What is a Property Ownership Agreement?

A property ownership agreement, or property co-ownership agreement, is a legal document used between parties that want to jointly purchase a property. The agreement determines how a property will be used, what happens to it if one of the owners dies or wants to leave, and whether there are any restrictions on who can buy it.

Property ownership agreements can be used for residential or commercial properties. For businesses, it lets you protect your interests in your business assets while allowing you to split the financial obligations of purchasing a property. A well-drafted agreement can help maintain good relationships among partners by outlining each person's rights and responsibilities within the partnership.

The agreements typically provide for unanimous consent of all parties before major decisions are made about the property. A real estate lawyer may draft an agreement that defines issues such as termination provisions, voting procedures, changes in capital contributions, and covenants not to compete or assign without consent from other party.

1.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property (the “Purchase Price”) shall be Thirteen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($13,500,000.00). The Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller by Buyer on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.5.1 below), plus or minus all adjustments or credits as set forth herein, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds.

1.4 Deposit And Escrow.

1.4.1 Within one (1) Business Day after the Effective Date, Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Agent at the following address: 2398 East Camelback Road, Suite 650, Phoenix, AZ 85016, Attention: Ms. Irma Hickman, a good faith deposit in the amount of One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000.00) (said amount, inclusive of interest earned thereon, is referred to herein as the “Deposit”). The Deposit shall be held in an insured, interest-bearing account with interest accruing for the benefit of Buyer. Buyer’s Federal Tax Identification Number may be listed after its signature. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any loss, diminution in value or failure to achieve a greater profit as a result of such investments. Escrow Agent assumes no responsibility for, nor shall said Escrow Agent be held liable for, any loss occurring which arises from (i) failure of the depository institution, (ii) the fact that some banking instruments, including without limitation repurchase agreements and letters of credit are not covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or (iii) the fact that the amount of the Deposit may cause the aggregate amount of any depositor’s accounts to exceed $250,000 and that such excess amount is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Escrow Agent is not a trustee for any party for any purpose, and is merely acting as a depository and in a ministerial capacity hereunder with the limited duties herein prescribed. The Escrow Agent may conclusively rely upon and act in accordance with any certificate, instructions, notice, letter, e-mail, facsimile, other written instrument believed to be genuine and to have been signed or communicated by the proper party or parties. The Seller and Buyer shall indemnify, save, defend, keep and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from any and all loss, damage, cost, charge, liability, cost of litigation, or other expense, including without limitation attorney’s fees and court costs, arising out of its obligations and duties, including but not limited to (i) disputes arising or concerning amounts of money to be paid, (ii) funds available for such payments, (iii)

persons to whom payments should be made or (iv) any delay in the electronic wire transfer of funds, as Escrow Agent, unless Escrow Agent’s actions constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.

1.4.2 The Deposit shall be applied to the Purchase Price if the Closing (as defined in Section 1.5.1 below) occurs. After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Buyer unless a Closing fails to occur due to Seller’s breach or default under this Agreement, a failure of a representation or warranty by Seller to be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing or due to the failure of a condition precedent set forth in Section 5.4, or as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, and shall constitute liquidated damages to Seller if escrow fails to close as a result of Buyer’s default as provided in Section 6.1 below. In the event Buyer shall elect to terminate this Agreement during the Due Diligence Period, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer as provided in Section 3.6 below.

16


responsible for any additional premiums related to the issuance of an extended owner’s title policy and the Survey costs and the cost of any special endorsements requested by Buyer), (ii) all transfer taxes, documentary stamp charges of any jurisdiction and recording fees and (iii) fifty percent (50%) of all escrow charges.

The following shall be prorated, credited, debited and adjusted between Seller and Buyer as of 12:01 a.m. on the day of the Closing (except as otherwise provided) in accordance with this section. For purposes of calculating prorations, Buyer shall be deemed to be in title to the Property, and therefore entitled to the income and responsible for the expenses, for the entire day upon which the Closing occurs.

(a) Current Rents. Tenant rents which have been paid by Tenants and received by Seller for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, based on a rental statement prepared by Seller and approved by Buyer (which statement must be consistent with the final rent roll), shall be prorated as set forth above.

(b) Unpaid Rents. As used herein, the term “Unpaid Rents” means any Tenant rentals and other sums owed to Seller from a Tenant and not paid as of the Closing Date. Unpaid Rents shall not be prorated, provided, however, that following the Closing, Buyer shall undertake reasonable efforts to collect any Unpaid Rents.

To the extent not paid directly by a Tenant, all real property taxes for the year immediately preceding the year of Closing that are payable in the year of Closing, and for years prior thereto, shall be paid by Seller on or before the Closing.

Any and all refunds, credits, claims or rights to appeal respecting the amount of any real property taxes or other taxes or assessments charged in connection with the Property for any period following Closing shall belong to Buyer, and any and all refunds, credits, claims or rights to appeal respecting the amount of any real property taxes or other taxes or assessments charged in connection with the Property for any period prior to the Closing shall

 

17


belong to Seller (unless such refund must be credited to a Tenant of the Property by Buyer, in which case such refund shall belong to Buyer to the extent of such required credits to the Tenant).

(g) Leasing Commissions. On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall pay in full all leasing commissions due to leasing or other agents for the current remaining term of any Lease (determined without regard to any unexercised termination or cancellation right).

(h) Insurance Policies. Insurance premiums as to the policies, if any, that will continue after Closing shall be prorated as of the Closing. However, it is the parties’ present intentions that Seller will be cancelling its insurance policies following the Closing and Buyer will be obtaining its own insurance coverages.

(i) Other Items. All other items customarily prorated or required by any other provision of this Agreement to be prorated or adjusted as of the Closing.

5.8.3 Re-prorations. At Closing, the amount of prorations and adjustments as aforesaid shall be determined or estimated to the extent practicable, and monetary adjustment shall be made between Seller and Buyer.

5.8.4 Survival. The provisions of this Section 5.8 shall survive the Closing.

5.9 Distribution of Funds and Documents. At the Close of Escrow, Escrow Agent shall do each of the following:

5.9.1 Payment of Encumbrances. Pay the amount of those monetary liens that are not permitted as part of the Required Title Condition in accordance with the demands approved by Seller, utilizing funds to which Seller shall be entitled upon Close of Escrow and funds (if any) deposited in Escrow by Seller.

Submit to the County Recorder of the County in which the Property is located the Deed and each other document to be recorded under the terms of this Agreement or by general usage, and, after recordation, cause the County Recorder to mail the Deed to Buyer and each other such document to the grantee, beneficiary or person acquiring rights thereunder or for whose benefit said document was recorded.

Such funds shall be delivered by wire transfer or cashier’s check in accordance with instructions given by Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, for its respective funds; if no instructions are given, Escrow Agent shall deliver such funds by Escrow Agent’s check via overnight courier (or as otherwise requested by the intended recipient) to the appropriate party at the address set forth for notice in this Agreement.

5.10 Completion of Documents. Escrow Agent is authorized to insert the date of Closing and otherwise to complete the documents deposited in Escrow, where appropriate and consistent with this Agreement.

5.11 Possession and Tenant Notices. Possession of the Property shall be delivered to Buyer by Seller at the Closing, subject only to the rights of any Tenant under the Leases and rights arising under the matters set forth in the Preliminary Report and permitted as part of the Required Title Condition. Seller and Buyer covenant and agree to execute at Closing a written notice of the acquisition of the Property by Buyer, in sufficient copies for transmittal to the Tenants affected by the sale and purchase of the Property and properly addressed to each Tenant. Such notice shall be prepared by Buyer, at Buyer’s cost and expense, and approved by Seller, shall notify each Tenant of the sale and transfer and shall contain appropriate instructions relating to the payment of future rentals, the giving of future notices and other matters reasonably required by Buyer or required by law. Unless a different procedure is required by applicable law, in which event such laws shall be controlling, Buyer agrees to transmit or otherwise deliver such letters to the Tenants promptly after the Closing.

TERMINATION AND DEFAULT

6.1 Buyer’s Default. IF THE SALE CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IS NOT CONSUMMATED BECAUSE OF A DEFAULT BY BUYER IN ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN: (A) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL TERMINATE; (B) THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE PAID TO AND RETAINED BY SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES; AND (C) SELLER AND BUYER SHALL HAVE NO FURTHER OBLIGATIONS TO EACH OTHER EXCEPT THOSE WHICH SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. BUYER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DAMAGES TO SELLER IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY BUYER WOULD BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE, THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT PLUS INTEREST REPRESENTS THE PARTIES’ BEST AND MOST ACCURATE ESTIMATE OF THE

 

19


DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IF THE TRANSACTION SHOULD FAIL TO CLOSE AND THAT SUCH ESTIMATE IS REASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SELLER AND BUYER REASONABLY ANTICIPATE WOULD EXIST AT THE TIME OF SUCH BREACH. BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT SELLER’S RIGHT TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT TOGETHER WITH ANY INTEREST AND EARNINGS EARNED THEREON SHALL BE SELLER’S SOLE REMEDY, AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, FOR BUYER’S FAILURE TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. HOWEVER, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 6.1 SHALL (i) PREVENT OR PRECLUDE SELLER’S RECOVERY OF REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES OR OTHER COSTS INCURRED BY SELLER PURSUANT TO SECTION 9.8 BELOW, OR (ii) IMPAIR OR LIMIT THE EFFECTIVENESS OR ENFORCEABILITY OF BUYER’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT. SELLER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO AN ACTION FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF ANY PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

INITIALS RH SELLER AT BUYER

6.2 Seller’s Default. If the sale contemplated hereby is not consummated because of a default by Seller in its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to exercise any or all of the following remedies:

6.2.1 Waive such failure and proceed to the Closing with no reduction in the Purchase Price; provided, however, that this provision will not limit Buyer’s right to receive reimbursement for attorney’s fees pursuant to Section 9.8 below in connection with any legal proceedings instituted by either party or Escrow Agent with respect to the enforcement of this Agreement, nor waive or affect Seller’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement or Buyer’s rights to enforce those indemnity obligations except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, nor waive or affect any of Seller’s other obligations under this Agreement to be performed after the Closing or Buyer’s rights to enforce those obligations.

6.2.2 Exercise any of its other rights or remedies Buyer may have at law or in equity, including without limitation an action for specific performance to cause Seller to convey the Property to Buyer pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

6.2.3 Terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller and Escrow Agent to that effect, to recover the full amount of the Deposit and all earnings thereon, to receive reimbursement of Buyer’s actually incurred out of pocket costs, fees and expenses in conjunction with this Agreement, to the extent determined to be reasonable, and not to exceed in the aggregate $50,000.

6.2.4 Nothing in this section 6.2 shall (i) prevent or preclude Buyer’s recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees or other costs incurred by Seller pursuant to section 9.8 below, or (ii) impair or limit the effectiveness or enforceability of Seller’s indemnification obligations contained in this Agreement or Buyer’s rights to enforce those indemnity obligations except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

In the event that, after the end of the Due Diligence Period, all or a portion of the Improvements should be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing such that the reasonable estimate of the cost to repair the same exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price (any such event, a “Material Adverse Change”), Buyer shall have the sole option to elect either to:

(a) acquire the Property as is (without reduction in the Purchase Price), and receive an assignment without recourse or credit of any insurance proceeds payable by virtue of such loss or damage plus a credit for any deductible under said policy; or

(b) terminate this Agreement and receive back the Deposit.

Such right must be exercised within ten (10) days from the date Seller provides Buyer with notice of the Material Adverse Change. If Buyer fails to timely provide notice of an election, then Buyer shall have been deemed to elect (b) above. Should a portion of the Improvements be damaged by fire or other casualty but not to the extent of a Material Adverse Change, then Buyer shall acquire the Property as is (without reduction in the Purchase Price) and receive an assignment without recourse or credit of any insurance proceeds payable by virtue of such loss or damage plus a credit for any deductible under said policy.

7.2 Condemnation. In the event that, after the end of the Due Diligence Period, all or a material portion of the Real Property should be condemned by right of eminent domain prior to the Closing such that the reasonable estimate of the loss of value of the remaining Real Property exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price (any such event, a “Material Taking”), Buyer may, at Buyer’s sole option, elect either to:

(a) terminate this Agreement and receive back the Deposit; or

(b) close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

In all other cases, or if Buyer elects to proceed under Section 7.2(b), Buyer shall purchase the Property in accordance with the terms hereof (without reduction in the Purchase Price) and Seller shall assign to Buyer at Closing all condemnation proceeds payable as a result of such condemnation. Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under Section 7.2(b) unless, within ten (10) days from written notice of the condemnation, Buyer provides Seller with written notice that Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(a).

21


commission from Seller at Closing and through Escrow Agent pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and such broker). Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any and all claims, demands or the cost or expense thereof, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of any broker’s commission, fee or other compensation due or alleged to be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon an agreement alleged to have been made or other action alleged to have been taken by the indemnifying party.

Words such as “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereof” and “hereunder” when used in reference to this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear, unless the context otherwise requires.

9.15 Construction of Agreement.

After the Effective Date, Seller and its respective agents, representatives and employees shall immediately cease all marketing of the Property until such time as this Agreement is terminated and Seller shall not directly or indirectly make, accept, negotiate, entertain or otherwise pursue any offers for the sale of the Property.

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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (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. Neither party shall by this agreement or acquiescence to an Exchange desired by the other party (1) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or (2) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the other party that such party’s Exchange in fact complies with section 1031 of the Code. In connection with such cooperation, Seller agrees, upon request of Buyer to “direct deed” for actual interests in the property to designees of Buyer.

9.19 Rule 3-14 Audit and SEC Filing Requirements. Subsequent to the Closing Date and no later than one (1) calendar year subsequent to the Closing Date, Buyer’s auditor may conduct an audit, as may be required of Buyer pursuant to Rule 3-14 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X (the “Audit”), of the income statements of the Property for the last complete fiscal year immediately preceding the Closing Date and the stub period through the Closing Date (the “Audit Period”). Seller shall reasonably cooperate (at no cost or liability of any kind to Seller) with Buyer’s auditor in the conduct of the Audit. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) Buyer or its designated independent or other auditor may audit the operating statements of the Property, at Buyer’s expense and, upon Buyer’s reasonable prior written request, Seller shall allow Buyer’s auditors reasonable access to such books and records maintained by Seller in respect to the Property and pertaining to the Audit Period as necessary to conduct the Audit; and (b) Seller shall use reasonable efforts to provide to Buyer such existing financial information as may be reasonably required by Buyer and required for Buyer’s auditors to conduct the Audit, provided, however, that the ongoing obligations of Seller shall be limited to providing such information or documentation as may be in the possession or control of Seller, the Seller’s accountants or the applicable property or asset manager, at no cost or liability of any kind to any of such parties, and in the format the Seller has maintained such information.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch.
