BROKERS
Since the March 31, 2011, Effective Date of RACER Trust, its Redevelopment Manager, Deputy Redevelopment Manager, and Transaction Manager (each an employee of RACER Trust and collectively RACER Trust’s “Redevelopment Team”) have and will continue to self-perform all of the brokerage activities required for the sale or reuse of RACER Trust real properties, including but not limited to: promoting, advertising, marketing, generating leads, vetting prospects, conducting property tours, conducting negotiations, preparing transaction documents, managing buyer due diligence, closing, etc.
Given RACER Trust’s in-house capabilities, its dual cleanup and redevelopment mission, and the sale/lease/licensee criteria requirements of the Settlement Agreement, RACER Trust will not give an exclusive, full listing for any RACER Property to any broker. However, RACER Trust may in its sole discretion enter a single-licensee commission agreement with a broker, provided the broker can demonstrate all the following:
The broker has a current assignment (for a specific requirement) from the prospective purchaser which is evidenced by a fully executed engagement agreement between the prospective purchaser and the broker and that agreement is presented to RACER Trust prior to an introduction of the prospective purchaser to RACER Trust, and
RACER Trust has not already been previously contacted by the prospective purchaser or parties representing the prospective purchaser, and
The broker is duly licensed in good standing and in compliance with all applicable state licensing requirements and provides RACER Trust with evidence to document same.
The single-buyer/lessee/licensee commission agreement must be executed by both RACER Trust and the broker in advance of any communications by RACER Trust with the prospective purchaser or parties representing the prospective purchaser.
RACER Trust in its sole discretion determines whether: (1) it will enter into a commission agreement with a broker; (2) the prospective purchaser satisfies all the criteria that RACER Trust must consider for the sale of its real property as stipulated in the Settlement Agreement; (3) to accept or reject any offers; (4) to terminate under its rights in a contract for the sale of RACER Trust real property with a prospective purchaser; and (5) to provide a letter to a broker indicating that RACER Trust is not willing to pay a seller’s commission. The commission under such agreement shall be paid only after closing.
