(a)Deposit. Within one (1) business day of the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit in escrow with the Title Company, the Deposit pursuant to the terms of the Earnest Money Escrow Agreement set forth on attached and incorporatedExhibit “F”, which sum shall be held in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and applied to the Purchase Price at Closing if the transaction is consummated. Upon the expiration of the Inspection Period, assuming Purchaser has not otherwise elected to terminate this Agreement the Deposit shall be deemed non-refundable but for Seller’s default.
(b)Balance of Purchase Price. Upon Closing, the balance of the Purchase Price shall be paid, plus or minus closing adjustments, as the case may be, less the Deposit, to Seller (through a closing escrow with the Title Company) by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. funds in accordance with wire transfer instructions to be provided by or on behalf of Seller on or prior to the Closing in exchange for a deed in form required by the jurisdictions in which the Properties are located whereby Seller only warrants against its own acts and/or omissions substantially in the form set forth asExhibit “B” attached hereto (collectively the“Deed"), conveying title to Purchaser subject to the
2
Permitted Exceptions (as defined herein), and such other exceptions to title which are disclosed in the Title Commitment (defined below) and to which Purchaser consents in writing or waives its objection thereto pursuant to this Agreement.
4. Due Diligence Items. Within five (5) days of the Effective Date, and at its sole cost and expense, Seller shall furnish or cause the Broker to furnish to Purchaser the following items (collectively, the“Due Diligence Items"):
(a) a copy of a preliminary commitment for an owner’s policy of title insurance on the Project. Seller shall provide a commitment for an owner’s policy of title insurance on the Project (the“Title Commitment"), which shall (i) be issued by Title Company without so called “Standard Exceptions”, (ii) show the state and quality of title to the Property together with all liens, encumbrances and other charges and items affecting the Property; and (iii) be accompanied by legible copies of all documents referenced in the Title Commitment. As a condition of and concurrently with the Closing, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, the Title Commitment shall be later dated to cover the Closing, and the Title Company shall deliver to Purchaser an owner’s title insurance policy (or mark-up of the Title Commitment) in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject to the Permitted Exceptions (the“Title Policy"), insuring Purchaser’s fee interest in and to the Property and containing the “Required Endorsements” (defined below). “Required Endorsements” means access, survey, tax parcel, contiguity (where relevant), 3.1 with parking, subdivision and owner’s comprehensive.

(d) a copy of the existing “Phase I” environmental assessment of the Project, in Seller’s possession; and
(e) a copy of the Lease.
Seller will deliver, along with what it believes to be the last of the Due Diligence Items, a letter confirming such last delivery, which letter must contain a signature block for Purchaser to acknowledge, if it agrees, its receipt of the last of the Due Diligence Items. Purchaser agrees to return the executed acknowledgment to Seller within five (5) business days after receipt or notify Seller in writing as to the specific Due Diligence Item not yet received. Purchaser’s failure to return the executed acknowledgement or specify the missing Due Diligence Item within said 5-business day period shall be deemed as Purchaser’s agreement that it has received all of the Due Diligence Items.
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that except for such items which are in the public records, the Due Diligence Items are proprietary and confidential in nature and have been or will be made available to Purchaser solely to assist Purchaser in determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property. Purchaser agrees not to disclose the Due Diligence Items or any of the provisions, terms or conditions thereof to any party outside of Purchaser’s organization except: (i) to Purchaser’s accountants, attorneys, lenders, prospective lenders, investors and/or prospective investors (collectively, the“Permitted Outside Parties") in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) as may be required by law. In permitting Purchaser and the Permitted Outside Parties to review the Due Diligence Items to
3
assist Purchaser, Seller has not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto and no third party benefits of any kind, either expressed or implied, have been offered, intended or created by Seller and any such claims are expressly rejected by Seller and waived by Purchaser.
Purchaser shall return to Seller all of the Due Diligence Items and any and all copies Purchaser has made of the Due Diligence Items at such time as this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than Seller’s default. In the event this Agreement is terminated as a result of Seller’s default, Purchaser shall return all the Due Diligence Items and any and all copies Purchaser has made of the Due Diligence Items, except for copies of such Due Diligence Items that are directly related to or evidence such Seller default. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Purchaser acknowledges that most of the Due Diligence Items were prepared by third parties other than Seller and in most instances, were prepared prior to Seller’s ownership of the Property. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that except as specifically set forth herein: (i) neither Seller nor any of its partners, agents, employees or contractors have made any warranty or representation regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Due Diligence Items or the sources thereof and Purchaser has not relied on the truth or completeness of the Due Diligence Items and (ii) Seller has not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Due Diligence Items and is providing the Due Diligence Items or making the Due Diligence Items available to Purchaser solely as an accommodation to Purchaser.
5. Conditions to Purchaser’s Obligations.
(a) During, but in no event later than the expiration of, the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall give Seller written notice indicating whether the Due Diligence Items, the condition of the Property, or title thereto is unsatisfactory and specifying any matters disclosed therein which are not satisfactory or to which Purchaser otherwise objects (the"Objection Notice"). In the event Seller fails to receive the Objection Notice timely, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the condition of the Property as disclosed in the Due Diligence Items, at which time, Purchaser’s Deposit shall become non-refundable but for Seller’s default, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be required to object to, nor shall the foregoing waiver apply to, any delinquent real estate taxes, special assessments or other payments due with respect to the Property (except to the extent payable by the Tenant under the Lease) any recorded loan documents in favor of Seller’s mortgagee, or any financing statements recorded against the Property.
(b) In the event that Purchaser indicates in the Objection Notice that (i) the Property or the Due Diligence Items are not satisfactory in any material respect, or (ii) Purchaser discovers and informs Seller in writing of or Seller informs Purchaser of any condition in the Title Commitment or Survey to which Purchaser objects (“Title Defect"), Seller may promptly undertake to cure the items specified in the Objection Notice or eliminate any such Title Defect to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser and/or, to the extent possible, cause the Title Company to insure over any of such items or Title Defect to the satisfaction of Purchaser and accordingly modify the Title Commitment. In the event Seller elects not to effect such cure or is either unable to do so or have the Title Company so insure over Purchaser’s objections within ten (10) days after receipt by Seller of the Objection Notice, Purchaser may, at its option, (1) waive any of its objections set forth in the Objection Notice, without any adjustment in the Purchase Price, or (2) terminate this Agreement, in either event by giving prompt written notice thereof to Seller. In the event Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further obligations under this Agreement, except as expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section to the contrary, Seller must cure any and all Title Defects pertaining to liens or encumbrances of a definite or
4
ascertainable monetary amount but in no event greater than $50,000.00, in the aggregate, which may be removed by the payment of money by Seller at the time of Closing.
(c) If anynew Title Defect (“New Defect") arises or is first disclosed after the issuance of the initial Title Commitment or is revealed by any update to the Survey and was not shown on the existing Survey, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to cure and remove (or procure title insurance over to the extent reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser) such New Defect. If Seller is unable to cure and remove (or procure title insurance over to the extent reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser) the New Defect by the Closing (which Seller may extend by up to ten (10) business days in order to cure and remove (or procure title insurance over to the extent reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser) the same), Purchaser may: (i) waive the New Defect in writing and accept such title as Seller is able to convey, without recourse against Seller at law, in equity or otherwise, and without any reduction in the Purchase Price; or (ii) terminate this Agreement by delivering notice to Seller of such termination on or before the Closing Date. If this Agreement is terminated as a result of any New Defect, the Deposit will be returned to Purchaser and neither party will have any further liabilities or obligations pursuant to this Agreement except those liabilities or obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that if such New Defect was caused by the intentional acts or omissions of Seller, Purchaser may treat the same as a breach of this Agreement and pursue the remedies available under this Agreement.
(d) Upon expiration or waiver of the Inspection Period set forth above, Seller will make a one time request from Tenant for a current estoppel certificate in the form set forth on attached and incorporatedExhibit “G” and a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (“SNDA”) in the form contemplated by the Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event Tenant fails to provide the estoppel certificate and/or SNDA required by the Lease or alleges that there are outstanding material events of default under the Lease which cannot be resolved to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction by the Closing Date, then in that event Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive the prompt return of its Deposit. However, if the outstanding event of default was caused by Seller, then Seller must remedy such default to Tenant’s satisfaction prior to the Closing Date and provide Purchaser with a revised estoppel letter reflecting no such defaults caused by Seller.
6. Permitted Exceptions. Seller shall convey the Property to Purchaser subject to a lien for taxes not yet due and payable, any easements, liens, exceptions, and other encumbrances noted in the Title Commitment, which Purchaser consents to or waives its objections to, the Survey, and the Lease (the“Permitted Exceptions").
7. Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser as to the following matters, each of which is true and correct as of the Effective Date, and each of which shall be true and correct as of the date of Closing. As used in this Section, the phrase “to Seller’s knowledge” means Seller’s actual knowledge, without duty of inquiry.

If Seller is unable or unwilling to cure such misrepresentation by the Closing Date (which Seller may extend by up to ten (10) business days for the purpose of such cure), then Purchaser, may elect to: (i) waive such misrepresentations or breaches of representations and warranties and consummate the purchase and sale of the Property without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price; or (ii) terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller by the Closing Date, in which event, the Deposit will be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further liabilities or obligations under to this Agreement, except those liabilities or obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this subparagraph to the contrary, if the misrepresentation or breach was caused by Seller’s intentional acts or omissions to act or involves an inaccuracy as of the date hereof with respect to any of the representations and warranties, Purchaser may treat the same as a breach of this Agreement and pursue the remedies available under this Agreement.
6
Seller hereby expressly agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, its partners, officers, directors, members, heirs, administrators, and agents and each of their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the“Purchaser Indemnified Parties") harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, fines, penalties and damages, or actions or claims in respect thereof (including without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, reasonable cost of investigation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses and reasonable fees of other professionals) (collectively,“Losses") which any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may suffer or sustain as a result of the breach by Seller of any of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

(b)Change in Status.

Accordingly, the parties shall not prorate taxes between Purchaser and Seller, it being acknowledged that Tenant shall be responsible for same. In no event shall Seller be responsible for the payment of any real estate taxes and/or assessments applicable during its period of ownership in the event the Tenant has defaulted in the prompt payment of same.
(b)Rent.

As to any such investigation, Purchaser shall restore the Property to the same condition as existed prior to any such investigation, and shall not: (i) perform any invasive tests without Seller’s prior consent or (ii) interfere with the possessory rights of the Tenant. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against, and to reimburse Seller with respect to any and all Losses incurred by Seller by reason of or arising out of any such on-site investigation (provided that Purchaser shall have no liability with respect to pre-existing conditions or the discovery thereof), it being acknowledged that all such obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
16. Acknowledgement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Purchaser understands and acknowledges that Seller has not made and does not make any representation or warranties whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied, to Purchaser with respect to the condition, state of repair or operability of the Property (including but not limited to environmental protection, pollution or land use laws, rules, regulations, orders or requirements, including the existence in, on, or under the Property of any hazardous materials or substances, soil or sub-soil conditions, all improvements thereon, the structural portions thereof, and the personal property, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, sewer, sanitary disposal, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems and other building service equipment therein), with respect to the suitability or fitness for the Purchaser’s intended use or purpose or with respect to the appreciation or income potential of the Property, the zoning of the Property, the platting of the Property, the availability or adequacy of utilities to the Property, access to the Property, requirements in connection with any development of the Property or any other matter whatsoever. Purchaser further hereby acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser has investigated or will investigate all matters of concern to Purchaser with respect to the Property and that Purchaser is not relying and hereby expressly waives any reliance on any representation or warranty, oral or written, express or implied, of Seller with respect to such matters, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Purchaser agrees to purchase the Property and all improvements thereon and mechanical systems therein delivered to Purchaser, AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS. Except with respect to fraud, Purchaser hereby releases Seller from any liability, claims, damages, expenses of any kind or nature, or any other claim resulting from the
9
presence, removal or other remediation of hazardous materials or substances in, on, under or about the Property or which has migrated from adjacent lands onto the Property or from the Property to adjacent land. The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive the Closing.
17. Further Assurances. Seller and Purchaser agree to perform such other acts, and to execute, acknowledge, and/or deliver subsequent to the Closing such other instruments, documents and other materials as Seller or Purchaser may reasonably request in order to effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and to vest title to the Property in Purchaser.
18. Default by Seller. In the event that Seller should fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for any reason, excepting Purchaser’s default or the failure of any of the conditions to Seller’s obligations hereunder to be satisfied or waived, then, after notice and five (5) business days to cure, Purchaser shall have the right to: (i) terminate this Agreement by giving prompt written notice thereof to Seller, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s out-of-pocket costs in connection with this transaction, not to exceed $15,000.00; or (ii) specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that such failure of Seller was beyond Seller’s reasonable control, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to so terminate this Agreement under subparagraph (i) above. Purchaser’s rights in the preceding sentence shall be Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies under this Agreement, unless Seller’s default is its intentional failure to convey title to the Property to Purchaser, in which event, Purchaser may pursue any and all remedies available to it at law or in equity. Purchaser must elect to exercise its rights under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above within thirty (30) days after Purchaser declares Seller in default. If Purchaser fails to make such election within said 30-day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected the remedy under clause (i) hereof.
19. Default by Purchaser. In the event Purchaser should fail to consummate the transaction contemplated herein for any reason, except default by Seller or the failure of any of the conditions to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder to be satisfied or waived, Seller may retain the Deposit and terminate this Agreement by giving prompt written notice thereof to Purchaser, or specifically enforce this Agreement. Seller’s rights in the preceding sentence shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedies under this Agreement.
20. Attorney’s Fees. In the event of any legal action or other proceeding between the parties regarding this Agreement (an“Action"), the prevailing party shall be entitled to the payment by the losing party of its reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and litigation expenses, as determined by the court. The term “prevailing party” as used herein includes, without limitation, a party: (i) who agrees to dismiss an Action on the other party’s performance of the covenants allegedly breached, (ii) who obtains substantially the relief it has sought; or (iii) against whom an Action is dismissed (with or without prejudice).
In addition, the prevailing party in any Action shall be entitled, in addition to and separately from the amounts recoverable under this Section, to the payment by the losing party of the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and litigation expenses incurred in connection with: (y) any appellate review of the judgment rendered in such Action or of any other ruling in such Action; and (z) any proceeding to enforce a judgment in such Action. It is the intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section be distinct and severable from the other rights of the parties under this Agreement, shall survive the entry of judgment in any Action and shall not be merged into such judgment.
21. Brokerage Commissions. Each party represents to the other that no brokers other than Purchaser’s and Seller’s Broker have been involved in this transaction. In the event that this transaction is consummated and Closing occurs, Seller shall pay Purchaser’s Broker a real estate commission in the
10
amount of two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price and shall pay Seller’s Broker in accordance with a separate agreement. Seller and Purchaser agree that if any other claims for brokerage commissions are ever made against Seller or Purchaser in connection with this transaction, all claims shall be handled and paid by the party whose actions or alleged commitments form the basis of such claim. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any Losses incurred by Purchaser by reason of any claim to any broker’s, finder’s, or other fee in connection with this transaction by any party claiming by, through, or under Seller. Except as provided in the foregoing sentence, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any Losses incurred by Seller by reason of any claim to any broker’s, finder’s, or other fee in connection with this transaction by any party claiming by, through, or under Purchaser, which obligation of each party shall survive the Closing.
22. Risk of Loss; Condemnation. All risk of loss or damage to the Property prior to Closing, including, without limitation, loss by fire, windstorm, or other casualty, shall rest with Seller. If, prior to the Closing, the Property is damaged as a result of fire or other casualty, Seller shall give Purchaser written notice thereof and Purchaser shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after the occurrence of such damage or casualty, to either:
(a) accept title to the Property without any reduction of the Purchase Price, in which event, at the Closing and subject to the rights of Tenant, Seller shall assign to Purchaser any insurance proceeds payable to Seller or its successors or assigns by reason of such damage or casualty, and pay over to Purchaser any monies theretofore received by Seller in connection with such fire or other casualty; or
