W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Seller is the owner of the Premises (as hereinafter defined); and
WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell, and Purchaser desires to purchase, the Premises, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the mutual receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:
1.1. Seller agrees to sell and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from Seller, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the following (collectively, the “Premises”):
(a) all that certain plot, piece and parcel of land located in the City of Fairlawn, County of Summit and the State of Ohio, described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, together with all easements, rights of way, privileges, appurtenances and other rights, if any, pertaining thereto (the “Land”);
(b) all buildings, structures and improvements located on the Land and all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any and all fixtures attached thereto (collectively, the “Improvements”);
(c) all equipment, machinery, apparatus, appliances, and other articles of personal property located on and used in connection with the operation of the Improvements (collectively, the “Personal Property”), to the extent any of same are owned by Seller;
(d) all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Sanborn Contract (as such capitalized term is hereinafter defined);
(e) to the extent assignable and subject to the terms hereof, all licenses, franchises, permits, certificates of occupancy, authorizations and approvals used in or relating to the ownership, occupancy or operation of any part of the Improvements (the “Permits”);
(f) all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the leases and occupancy agreements described on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (as amended, modified, renewed or extended as of the Effective Date, the “Existing Leases”), and all Approved Lease Amendments and Approved New Leases (as such capitalized terms are hereinafter defined) (the Existing Leases, the Approved Lease Amendments and the Approved New Leases are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Leases”);
(g) to the extent assignable and subject to the terms hereof, all of the interest of Seller in any and all rights, warranties and guaranties pertaining to the Land, Improvements, Personal Property, the Sanborn Contract, Permits and Leases (collectively the “Intangible Property”); and
(h) all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the documents and other materials listed in Exhibit V (collectively, the “O&M Plan Documents”);
(i) to the extent assignable, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the name “Fairlawn Town Centre” as it relates to the Premises.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 49 below, the purchase price for the Premises (the “Purchase Price”) is Forty-Two Million and 00/100 Dollars ($42,000,000), payable as follows:
2.1. Within one (1) Business Day after the Effective Date , Purchaser shall deliver the amount of Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($200,000) (the “Initial Deposit”), by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the order of [Land Services USA, Inc.] (in such capacity, the “Escrow Agent”), which Initial Deposit shall be held by Escrow Agent in escrow pursuant to the provisions of Section 15 of this Agreement. If the Initial Deposit is not received by the Escrow Agent within such one (1) Business Day period, this Agreement shall automatically terminate.
2.2. In the event Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement at the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to Section 35 of this Agreement, Purchaser shall, on or prior to one (1) Business Day after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, deliver the amount of Four Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($400,000) (the “Additional Deposit”) by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the order of Escrow Agent. As used herein, (a) “Deposit” shall mean the Initial Deposit, together with the Additional Deposit (to the extent same is deposited with Escrow Agent pursuant to the provisions of Section 35 below) and (b) “Downpayment” shall mean the Deposit together with all interest thereon.
2.3 Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that time shall be of the essence with respect to Purchaser’s obligation to deliver the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit. The Downpayment shall automatically become nonrefundable upon the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, unless Purchaser terminates (or is deemed to have terminated) this Agreement in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement and Purchaser is entitled to the return of the Downpayment in accordance with the express provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
2.4. An amount equal to the Purchase Price less the Downpayment on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), as adjusted for prorations and apportionments as herein provided, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller (such funds, the “Closing Funds”); provided, however, solely in the event that Purchaser assumes the Assumed Loan (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to Section 49 below, an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Assumed Loan (the “Assumed Loan Balance”) on the Closing Date shall be subtracted from the Purchase Price. In the event that the Closing Funds are not received on or before 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have defaulted under this Agreement.

3. Assignment of Sanborn Contract.
3.1. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has disclosed to it that the Premises is subject to the contracts and agreements described on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof (as amended, modified, renewed or extended as of the Effective Date, the “Existing Contracts”). Seller shall terminate all Existing Contract at Closing at Seller’s expense, in which event Seller shall indemnify Purchaser from any damage, cost or liability (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of enforcing the foregoing indemnity) arising from such termination; provided, however, at Closing, except as provided in Section 3.2 below, Seller shall assign to Purchaser and Purchaser shall assume that certain Proposal for Continued Operation, Maintenance, and Monitoring Services, Addendum #1 – from June 2012 through May 2013, dated as of June 27, 2012, by and between Sanborn, Head & Associates, Inc., as consultant, and Seller, as client, which is subject to those certain Terms and Conditions, dated as of May 4, 2010 (the “Sanborn Contract”).
3.2. If the Sanborn Contract is not assignable by its terms and the required consent to the assignment thereof is not obtained by the Closing Date, then the parties shall nevertheless proceed to Closing and Seller shall terminate the Sanborn Contract at Closing at Seller’s expense, in which event Seller shall indemnify Purchaser from any damage, cost or liability (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of enforcing the foregoing indemnity) arising from such termination. Purchaser agrees that the failure of Seller to obtain any such consent to assignment of the Sanborn Contract shall not constitute a default by Seller hereunder, constitute a failure of condition precedent in favor of Purchaser or grant Purchaser any right or remedy.
4. Closing Date.
4.1. The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”), shall take place through escrow at the offices of the Escrow Agent, on the date that is fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (unless an earlier date is agreed to by Seller and Purchaser in writing) (the “Initial Scheduled Closing Date”).
4.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, (A) Purchaser shall have the one-time right to cause the Initial Scheduled Closing Date to be adjourned for a period of up to fifteen (15) days by delivering Seller written notice of such election at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Initial Scheduled Closing Date (such date, the “Purchaser Adjourned Closing Date”) in order (i) to allow the Purchaser to satisfy the Loan Assumption Condition (as hereinafter defined) (it being agreed that if Purchaser extends pursuant to this clause (i) it shall use good faith efforts to cause the satisfaction of the Loan Assumption Condition on or before the Purchaser Adjourned Closing Date) and/or (ii) in the event that the Estoppel Condition (as such term is hereinafter defined) has not been satisfied on or before five (5) days prior to the Initial Scheduled Closing Date (but only to the extent Seller does not elect to extend the Initial Scheduled Closing Date in accordance with its rights under this Agreement in order to continue to cause the Estoppel Condition to be satisfied), and (B) in the event the Purchaser reasonably determines that the Loan Assumption Condition will not be satisfied by the Initial Scheduled Closing Date (or, if the Purchaser has previously adjourned the Initial Closing Date to the Purchaser Adjourned Closing Date, then by Purchaser Adjourned Closing Date), then Purchaser shall have the one-time right to cause the Initial Scheduled Closing Date or the Purchaser Adjourned Closing Date, as applicable, to be adjourned for a period of up to fifteen (15) days by delivering Seller written notice of such election at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Initial Scheduled Closing Date or the Purchaser Adjourned Closing Date, as applicable (such date, the “Purchaser Adjourned Closing Date II”). For the avoidance of doubt, (x) Purchaser shall not have the right to adjourn the Closing for any reason other than for the specific reason set forth in this Section 4.2, and (y) if Purchaser elects to exercise its rights to adjourn the Closing under Section 4.2(B) above, it shall be deemed to waive any rights to adjourn the Closing under Section
3
4.2(A)(i) above, but Purchaser shall continue to have its right to adjourn the Closing under Section 4.2(A)(ii) above in event that the Estoppel Condition has not been satisfied on or before five (5) days prior to the Purchaser Adjourned Closing Date II (but only to the extent Seller does not elect to extend the Purchaser Adjourned Closing Date II in accordance with its rights under this Agreement in order to continue to cause the Estoppel Condition to be satisfied), and (z) in no event shall Purchaser have the right to adjourn the Closing for more than thirty (30) days in the aggregate (as expressly provided in this Section 4.2).
4.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, Seller shall have the right, by delivering notice to Purchaser on or before the then scheduled Closing Date, to adjourn the Closing one or more times for any reason specified in this Agreement (including, without limitation, to cure title matters and/or to obtain consents and approvals of third parties as herein specified) and for the time period specified in this Agreement (but in no event for more than forty-five (45) days in aggregate) to a date specified by Seller in such notice (any date to which Seller so adjourns the Closing pursuant to this Section 4.3 being referred to herein as a “Seller Adjourned Closing Date”).
4.4. As used herein, the term “Closing Date” shall mean the Initial Scheduled Closing Date, the Purchaser Adjourned Closing Date, the Purchaser Adjourned Closing Date II or, if the Closing is adjourned by Seller, any Seller Adjourned Closing Date. It is expressly agreed by Seller and Purchaser that time is of the essence with respect to Purchaser’s and Seller’s obligation to close this transaction on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser acknowledges that if Seller adjourns the Closing Date pursuant to any right of adjournment granted hereunder, then time shall be of the essence with respect to Purchaser’s and Seller’s obligation to close this transaction on such adjourned Closing Date.
Purchaser shall accept title to the Premises subject to all violations of law or municipal ordinances, orders or requirements issued by the departments of buildings, fire, labor, health or other federal, state, county, municipal or other departments and governmental agencies having jurisdiction against or affecting the Premises, and any outstanding work orders, whether outstanding as of the Effective Date or noticed at any time on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (each, an “Existing Violation”). Any violation that is noticed (i.e., issued by the applicable governmental authority) after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period is referred to herein as a “New Violation”. The Existing Violations and the New Violations are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Violations”. To the extent that the Seller receives written notice of any New Violation between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser written notice of such New Violation on or before the earlier of one (1) day prior to the Closing Date or five (5) days after it becomes aware of the existence of any New Violation. Purchaser and Seller agree that the following shall apply in respect of any Violation:
(a) In respect of Existing Violations, Seller shall have no restoration, repair or other obligation or liability of any kind or nature with respect thereto and Purchaser shall be required to take title to the Premises without adjustment of the Purchase Price. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall have no obligation to obtain, update or modify any certificate of occupancy for all or any portion of the Premises, nor shall it be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close title hereunder that Seller obtain, update or modify any such certificate of occupancy.
(b) In respect of New Violations:
(i) Purchaser shall deliver notice to Seller (“Purchaser’s Violations Notice”) on or before the earlier of one (1) day prior to the Closing Date or five (5) days after it becomes aware of the existence
4
of any New Violation (it being acknowledged and agreed by Purchaser that Purchaser’s failure to deliver Purchaser’s Violations Notice within such time period shall be deemed to be (x) Purchaser’s waiver of any rights under this Section 5(b) and (y) Purchaser’s agreement to take title to the Premises subject to such New Violation(s) without adjustment of the Purchase Price).
(ii) Within five (5) Business Days after Seller receives Purchaser’s Violations Notice (and if the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period is after the Closing Date, then, at the option of Seller, the Closing shall be adjourned to the date three (3) Business Days after the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period), Seller shall deliver notice to Purchaser (“Seller’s Violations Response Notice”) stating either (x) that Seller agrees, at Seller’s sole option, to (A) cure such New Violation prior to the Closing, (B) credit Purchaser at Closing against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the reasonably estimated cost of curing same (it being agreed that if there is a dispute as to the amount of the credit under this clause (B) then the provisions of Section 42 of this Agreement shall apply) or (C) credit Purchaser at Closing against the Purchase Price an amount equal to the reasonably estimated diminution in value to the Premises caused by such New Violation (it being agreed that if there is a dispute as to the amount of the credit under this clause (C) then the provisions of Section 42 of this Agreement shall apply), or (y) that Seller does not elect to cure such New Violation or grant Purchaser such credit against the Purchase Price. Seller’s failure to deliver Seller’s Violations Response Notice within such five (5) Business Day period shall be deemed to be Seller’s election under clause (y) at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the last day of such five (5) Business Day period. In the event that Seller’s reasonably estimated cost of curing any such New Violation (when aggregated with any other New Violations properly noticed by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) is less than $75,000, then Seller shall be required to make Seller’s election under clause (x).
(iii) If, in Seller’s Violations Response Notice, Seller makes (or is required to make) the election under clause (x) of Section 5(b)(ii) above, then Seller shall, at Seller’s sole option, either cause the applicable New Violation to be cured prior to the Closing (and Seller shall be entitled to adjourn the Closing one or more times (but for not more than twenty (20) days in the aggregate) to effectuate such cure) or grant Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing pursuant to either subclause (B) or (C) of Section 5(b)(ii)(x) above (it being agreed that if there is a dispute as to the amount of such credit under this Section 5(b)(iii), then the provisions of Section 42 of this Agreement shall apply). If Seller agrees to cure a New Violation as aforesaid and thereafter fails so to do within the above time period, then the Closing shall take place and Seller shall grant Purchaser the foregoing credit against the Purchase Price. If, in Seller’s Violations Response Notice, Seller makes (or is deemed to have made) the election under clause (y) of Section 5(b)(ii) above, then by the earlier of one (1) day prior to the Closing Date (as it may have been adjourned by Seller pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) above, or five (5) days after Purchaser receives Seller’s Violations Response Notice making such election, Purchaser shall deliver notice to Seller (“Purchaser’s Violations Response Notice”) stating either (x) that Purchaser elects to accept title to the Premises subject to the applicable New Violation without adjustment of the Purchase Price, in which event the Closing hereunder shall occur without any further obligation of Seller under this Section 5, or (y) that Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, in which event the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement shall apply to such termination (and if Purchaser fails to deliver any such notice on or before the expiration of such five (5) days period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under clause (y) above).
(iv)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, in the event that Purchaser takes title to the Premises without raising any objection to any New Violation in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5, same shall constitute a complete waiver of any right Purchaser may have to object to such New Violation or to make any claim against Seller on account thereof and any such claim is hereby waived by Purchaser.
5
(c) Purchaser shall not, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Seller, request that any governmental authority inspect or otherwise evaluate the condition of the Premises in respect of the existence of Violations, provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit Purchaser from making customary inquiries of governmental authorities as to whether Violations have been noticed by any such governmental authorities (it being agreed that such customary inquiries shall expressly permit Purchaser to request a zoning compliance letter from the applicable governmental authorities).
(d) Purchaser (i) acknowledges that Seller has disclosed to Purchaser and/or Purchaser is otherwise aware of the existence of the matters listed on Exhibit D attached hereto and made a part hereof, (ii) agrees that same constitute Existing Violations for purposes of this Section 5, and (iii) acknowledges that, except as set forth in Section 11.1, Seller has not made any representation regarding such Existing Violations nor made any representation that such matters constitute all Existing Violations.
6.1. The following are to be apportioned as of the Closing Date:
(i) Real property taxes and assessments (including, without limitation, any assessments relating to Permitted Title/Survey Exceptions (as hereinafter defined), business improvement district assessments or similar charges), water rates and charges, and sewer taxes, in each case, not otherwise payable directly to the taxing authority by any tenant under a Lease. Seller and Purchaser each agree to deliver to the other, as appropriate, the required portion of any funds received by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, in order to effectuate the foregoing.
(ii) Fixed, escalation, additional and percentage rent, parking charges and all other charges under the Leases (including, without limitation, electricity and utility surcharges, administrative fees in connection with security deposits held by Seller under the Leases), if, as and when collected in accordance with Section 6.6 of this Agreement (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Rents”).
(iii) Charges under the Sanborn Contract.
(iv) To the extent that Purchaser assumes the Assumed Loan, interest payable under the Assumed Loan.
(v) All other items customarily apportioned in connection with the sale of similar properties similarly located.
The parties acknowledge agree that to the extent that any deposits made by Seller on account with utility companies servicing the Premises are returned to Seller on or before the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide Purchaser’s own utility deposits directly to the applicable utility companies; provided, however, in the event that that Seller is not able to obtain such refunds on or before the Closing Date, then Seller shall receive a credit at Closing in the amounts of such unreturned deposits (and Seller and Purchaser each agrees to cooperate to effectuate the transfer of any such unreturned deposits); provided, further, however, if after the Closing Date the Seller actually receives any portion of such unreturned deposit for which Seller was given a credit at Closing, then Seller shall promptly remit such portion to Purchaser.
6.2. If the real property taxes and assessments (including, without limitation, any assessments relating to Permitted Title/Survey Matters, business improvement district assessments or similar charges), water rates and charges, and sewer taxes, in each case, not otherwise payable directly to the taxing authority by any tenant under a Lease are not finally fixed before the Closing Date, the
apportionments thereof made at the Closing shall be based on the real property taxes and assessments assessed and reflected in the most recently issued tax duplicate, or on estimated water and sewer charges (and the parties acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 6.11 below, or any Seller Document, such prorations made at the Closing shall be final and shall not be subject to any recalculation after the Closing Date regardless of the final fixed amounts of the real property taxes, assessments and/or water and sewer charges obtained after the Closing Date).
6.3. (i) If the Premises or any part thereof shall be or shall have been affected by any bond or special assessment prior to the Closing Date, such bond or special assessment due and relating to the period of time prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller and such bond or special assessment due or relating to the period of time from and after the Closing Date shall be paid by Purchaser. If any bond or special assessment on the Premises is payable in installments, then the installment for the current period shall be prorated (with Purchaser assuming the obligation to pay any installments due from and after the Closing Date) (it being agreed that if there is a dispute as to the obligations of the parties under this Section 6.3(i), then the provisions of Section 42 of this Agreement shall apply).
(ii) If the Premises or any part thereof shall be or shall have been affected by any bond or special assessment on or subsequent to the Closing Date, whether or not payable in annual installments, the entire amount of such assessment shall be paid by Purchaser.
6.4. If there are any water meters on the Premises (other than meters measuring water consumption costs which are the obligation of tenants to pay under Leases), Seller shall furnish readings, and the unfixed water rates and charges and sewer taxes and rents, if any, based thereon for the intervening time, shall be apportioned on the basis of such last readings. If there is any fuel on hand, Seller shall furnish a reading, and the unfixed charges for such fuel, for the period from the date of such reading until the Closing Date shall be apportioned based upon such reading.
6.5. The amount of any unpaid taxes, assessments, water charges, sewer taxes and rents and vault charges and taxes for which Seller is obligated to pay and discharge under Section 6.2, with interest and penalties thereon through and including the Closing Date may, at the option of Seller, be satisfied at Closing out of the Purchase Price, provided that official bills therefor with interest and penalties thereon are furnished by Seller at the Closing. In addition, at the Closing, Seller shall receive a credit against the amount of any unpaid taxes Seller is obligated to pay and discharge under Section 6.2 in an amount equal to the amount that will become due and owing by the tenants that pay such taxes in lump sum payments. If there are any other liens or encumbrances which Seller is paying and discharging pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same, provided that the Title Company (as hereinafter defined) shall be willing to insure Purchaser against collection of such liens and/or encumbrances, including interest and penalties, in which event such liens and encumbrances shall not be objections to title.
6.6. (i) To the extent that Purchaser receives Rents under Leases (including monthly payments of escalation and percentage rents and “pass throughs”) after the Closing Date, the amount of such Rents shall be applied in the following order of priority: (x) first, to the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, (y) second, to any calendar month or months following the calendar month in which the Closing occurred until such tenant is current on post-Closing Rents, and (z) third, to the calendar months preceding the Closing Date until such tenant is current on pre-Closing Rents. Purchaser shall render an accounting to Seller with respect to any Rents received from each tenant that owes Rent to Seller as of the Closing Date until, as a result of the application of Rents pursuant to this Section 6.6, such tenant has paid all Rents owed to Seller for that period of time prior to the Closing Date. The obligation to render such accounting to Seller shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (A) Seller having been paid all Rents
7
owed to Seller for that period of time prior to the Closing Date, and (B) the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.6, Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that Rents in the nature of percentage rents (“Percentage Rents”) under certain Leases for each calendar year may be collected in advance monthly based upon estimated gross sales under the applicable Lease by Seller and may subsequently be subject to adjustment, on an annualized basis, after the expiration of the calendar year for which such Percentage Rents are due based upon the reconciliation of annualized gross sales under the applicable Lease by Seller. In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller agree that in the event any tenant is obligated to pay any such Percentage Rents to Seller, then solely with respect to such Percentage Rents for the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, Purchaser shall render an accounting to Seller with respect thereto within thirty (30) days after the date on which Purchaser, as landlord under the applicable Lease, has reconciled the annualized gross sales under such Lease, and, in the event the applicable tenant is obligated to render a payment on account of the Percentage Rents payable under its Lease to the landlord thereunder for the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, then such payment shall be prorated on a “straight-line” basis between Purchaser and Seller, based upon the number of days in such calendar year that Purchaser and Seller were the owner of the Premises, and in the event the applicable tenant is entitled to a reimbursement on account of the Percentage Rents payable under its Lease to the landlord thereunder for the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, then such reimbursement shall be prorated on a “straight-line” basis between Purchaser and Seller based upon the number of days in such calendar year that Purchaser and Seller were the owner of the Premises. In connection with the foregoing, Percentage Rents shall be pro-rated at Closing based on amounts billed by Seller, and any reconciliation shall be completed on a post-Closing basis (and each party shall provide to the other all reasonably requested information with respect to the Percentage Rents in order to complete such reconciliation).
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.6, Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that Rents in the nature of so called “CAM” charges (collectively, “CAM Charges”) under certain Leases for each calendar year may be collected in advance monthly based upon estimated operating expenses under the applicable Lease by Seller and may subsequently be subject to adjustment, on an annualized basis, after the expiration of the calendar year for which such CAM Charges are due based upon the reconciliation of annualized operating expenses under the applicable Lease by Seller. In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller agree that in the event any tenant is obligated to pay any such CAM Charges to Seller, then solely with respect to such CAM Charges for the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, Purchaser shall render an accounting to Seller with respect thereto within thirty (30) days after the date on which Purchaser, as landlord under the applicable Lease, has reconciled the annualized so called “CAM” charges under such Lease, and, in the event the applicable tenant is obligated to render a payment on account of the CAM Charges payable under its Lease to the landlord thereunder for the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, then such payment shall be prorated on a “straight-line” basis between Purchaser and Seller, based upon the number of days in such calendar year that Purchaser and Seller were the owner of the Premises, and in the event the applicable tenant is entitled to a reimbursement on account of the CAM Charges payable under its Lease to the landlord thereunder for the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, then such reimbursement shall be prorated on a “straight-line” basis between Purchaser and Seller based upon the number of days in such calendar year that Purchaser and Seller were the owner of the Premises. In connection with the foregoing, CAM Charges shall be pro-rated at Closing based on amounts billed by Seller, and any reconciliation shall be completed on a post-Closing basis (and each party shall provide to the other all reasonably requested information with respect to the CAM Charges in order to complete such reconciliation).
(iv) Purchaser shall have no obligation to collect any and all Rents due pursuant to the Leases that would otherwise be payable to Seller pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser shall commence any legal action to collect any amounts due from a tenant under a Lease and such tenant shall also owe amounts which Seller shall be entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, then, at Seller’s option, Purchaser shall include in Purchaser’s legal action the claim for amounts due to Seller, and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for a portion of the reasonable and actual out-of-pocket legal fees and disbursements incurred by Purchaser in prosecuting such action in an amount equal to the total amount of such fees and disbursements multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount realized by Seller in such action and the denominator of which is the total amount realized by Seller and Purchaser in such action. If Seller is entitled, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, to all or any portion of any Rents owed by any tenant under a Lease and such tenant shall be in default of such tenant’s obligation to pay such Rents, Seller reserves the right to commence any and all appropriate legal proceedings to collect such amounts (but Seller shall not commence any action against a tenant to dispossess such tenant from possession of space in the Premises), and Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, in connection with such proceedings; provided, however, that Purchaser, at Seller’s request and without cost to Purchaser, shall (1) assign to Seller all rights to all amounts owed Seller from tenants prior to and as of Closing including, without limitation, all rights to collect from such tenants for all such amounts owed; and (2) execute and deliver to Seller any and all documents Seller shall reasonably request in order to effectuate such assignment (clause (1) and (2) collectively, the “Retained Rights”). The Retained Rights shall survive the Closing.
(v) Without limiting the foregoing provisions of the Section 6.6, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and otherwise exercise commercially reasonable efforts prior to and subsequent to the Closing Date (if same has not been completed prior to the Closing) in order to obtain a Certificate of Transfer of Title to Leased Property and Lease Assignment and Assumption (or similar instrument) (the “USPS Documents”) from the United States Postal Service (“USPS”). If USPS does not enter into the USPS Documents prior to the Closing, then anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if, by virtue thereof, USPS pays its rent or additional rent to Seller in lieu of Purchaser for any period from and after the Closing Date, the same shall be held in trust by Seller (on Purchaser’s behalf) and paid in accordance with this Section 6.6.
6.7. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate to arrange for utility services to the Premises to be discontinued in Seller’s name, as of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, and to be reinstated in Purchaser’s name, as of the Closing Date. In the event that the foregoing cannot be effectuated, then Seller shall furnish readings of the applicable utility meters to a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, and the unfixed charges, if any, based thereon for the intervening time, shall be apportioned on the basis of such last readings.
6.8. (a) Seller agrees that it shall be responsible for the payment of the commissions payable to brokers, including, without limitation, commissions payable to the Exclusive Leasing Agent referred to in Section 6.8(c) below under the Exclusive Leasing Agreement referred to in Section 6.8(c) below (collectively, “Leasing Commissions”), the costs incurred or to be incurred for tenant improvements (“Tenant Improvement Costs”), and all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, legal fees, costs and disbursements and tenant relocation costs (collectively, “Other Leasing Costs”; together with any Leasing Commissions and Tenant Improvement Costs, “Leasing Costs”) arising out of Leases that were executed before the Effective Date.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.8(a) above, Purchaser agrees that if the Closing occurs, it shall be responsible for the payment of all Leasing Costs arising out of, under or in connection with any Approved Lease Amendments and Approved New Leases (and a future renewal of, extension of, or expansion under any Approved Lease Amendments and Approved New Leases). In connection with the foregoing, Purchaser hereby (x) assumes, effective as of the Closing Date, the
9
obligation to pay all Leasing Costs with respect to the leasing matters described in in this clause (b), (y) indemnifies Seller against any liability arising therefrom, and (z) agrees that if Seller pays any such amount in respect of any such leasing matters described in this clause (b) prior to the Closing Date, then at Closing Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for same.
(c) Seller has informed Purchaser that Seller is party to a certain Exclusive Leasing Agreement, dated as of June 3, 2012 (as amended, the “Exclusive Leasing Agreement”) with Charter Realty and Development Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Exclusive Leasing Agent”), as agent. Seller agrees to terminate the Exclusive Leasing Agreement as of the Closing Date.
(d) Purchaser hereby indemnifies Seller and holds Seller harmless from and against any and all liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements and costs incurred in the enforcement of the foregoing indemnity) arising out of Purchaser’s failure to comply with Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 6.8. The foregoing indemnification by Purchaser shall survive the Closing indefinitely. Seller hereby indemnifies Purchaser and holds Purchaser harmless from and against any and all liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements and costs incurred in the enforcement of the foregoing indemnity) arising out of Seller’s failure to comply with Seller’s obligations under this Section 6.8. The foregoing indemnification by Seller shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year.
6.9. It is the intention of the parties for Seller to transfer to Purchaser concurrently with the Closing as a credit against the Purchase Price all security deposits of tenants under the Leases, together with any interest accrued on such security deposits; provided, however, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, upon written notice to Purchaser, Seller shall have the right, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Leases, to deduct from any security deposit any amount due from a tenant of the Premises as a result of a default (after the expiration of any expressly provided notice and grace periods) by such tenant under such tenant’s Lease; provided, further, however, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue its rights under the Leases to require the applicable tenants to replenish such security deposits in accordance with the terms of the Leases (it being acknowledged and agreed that the failure of the tenants to replenish such security deposits shall not (i) be a condition to any of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Closing (b) give Purchase any right to terminate this Agreement, and (c) give rise to any remedy of any kind against Seller).
6.10. At Closing, to the extent that Purchaser assumes the Assumed Loan, Seller shall be credited with the amounts of any escrows and/or holdbacks held by or on the Lender’s (as hereinafter defined) behalf in connection with the Assumed Loan and such escrows and holdbacks shall be assigned by Seller to Purchaser at Closing pursuant to the Loan Assumption Documents (as hereinafter defined).
6.11. Subject to the provisions of Section 37 of this Agreement, in the event the Closing occurs, the provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the Closing Date for one (1) year and either party shall have the right prior to expiration of such one (1) year period to require that errors and adjustments related to computations and calculations under this Section 6 be corrected and the parties agree that any errors and adjustments not raised prior to the expiration of such one (1) year period shall be deemed to be waived. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that after the expiration of such one (1) year period, the indemnification obligations of Seller, if any, contained in this Section 6, shall expire, and that the indemnification obligations of Purchaser, if any, contained in this Section 6 shall survive the Closing Date for a period of one (1) year (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6).

8. Title Insurance and Survey Matters.
8.1. Prior to the Effective Date Seller delivered to Purchaser Seller’s existing survey of the Premises (the “Existing Survey”). Purchaser shall obtain and deliver to Seller (i) an update of the Existing Survey or a new survey (any such update or new survey being referred to as the “Updated Survey”) and (ii) a commitment for title insurance (the “Title Commitment”) from First American Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”) with respect to the Premises upon the earlier to occur of Purchaser’s receipt of same and the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. The Existing Survey or the Updated Survey, as applicable, are referred to herein individually or collectively as the “Survey”. If the Title Commitment or Survey discloses exceptions to title which are both (A) not included within the list of permitted title matters listed on Exhibit P attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Existing Title/Survey Matters”) and (B) material and adverse to Purchaser in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment (any such exception being referred to herein as an “Unpermitted Title/Survey Matters”), then Purchaser shall have the right to give Seller notice of any such Unpermitted Title/Survey Matters on or prior to the earlier of (X) ten (10) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Title Commitment and Survey and (Y) the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (such earlier date, the “Title/Survey Objection Out Date”). Any matters revealed by the Title Commitment and/or Survey that are not objected to by Purchaser on or prior to the Title/Survey Objection Out Date shall be deemed “Permitted Title/Survey Exceptions”. In
13
addition, any matters revealed by the Title Commitment and/or Survey that do not constitute Unpermitted Title/Survey Matters, regardless of whether Purchaser objects thereto, shall constitute Permitted Title/Survey Exceptions. Seller shall have ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of any such notice in which to give Purchaser notice that Seller will either (a) cause such Unpermitted Title/Survey Matter(s) to be deleted from the Title Commitment or Survey or insured against by the Title Company or (b) not cause such Unpermitted Title/Survey Matter(s) to be deleted from the Title Commitment or Survey or insured against by the Title Company. If Seller gives notice pursuant to clause (a) above, then Seller will cause such Unpermitted Title/Survey Matter(s) to be deleted from the Title Commitment or Survey, or cause such Unpermitted Title/Survey Matter(s) to be insured against by the Title Company, prior to the Closing Date (and Seller shall have the right to adjourn the Closing Date one or more times (but for not more than thirty (30) days in the aggregate) in order to effectuate same); provided, however, if at Closing Seller has failed to cause any such Unpermitted Title/Survey Matter(s) to be deleted from the Title Commitment or Survey, or insured against by the Title Company, then Purchaser’s sole and absolute remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement at Closing (in which event the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement shall apply to such termination). If Seller (i) fails to give any such notice within said ten (10) Business Day period, or (ii) gives notice pursuant to clause (b) above, then Purchaser shall give written notice to Seller within three (3) Business Days following the earlier of the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period or the giving of such notice by Seller either (x) terminating this Agreement (in which event the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement shall apply to such termination) or (y) waiving the right to terminate this Agreement as a result of any such Unpermitted Title/Survey Matter(s). If Purchaser fails to deliver such notice terminating this Agreement pursuant to clause (x) above within said three (3) Business Day period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected under clause (x) above. If Purchaser elects under clause (y) above in accordance with the foregoing, then any Unpermitted Title/Survey Matters previously objected to by Purchaser shall become Permitted Title/Survey Exceptions. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller shall be entitled to deliver Seller’s notice under clause (a) or clause (b) above in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion subject to the provisions of Section 8.3 of this Agreement and that Purchaser shall be required to accept title to the Premises subject to all Permitted Title/Survey Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained herein, in the event that Purchaser fails to obtain (I) the Title Commitment in the time period set forth in this Section 8.1 and submit any objections thereto within such time period set forth above, then Purchaser will be deemed to have waived its right to object to matters appearing on the Title Commitment (or update thereto) pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, and (II) an Updated Survey in the time period set forth in this Section 8.1 and submit any objections thereto within such time period set forth above, then Purchaser will be deemed to have waived its right to object to matters appearing on any Updated Survey (or update thereto) pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2.
8.2. Except as provided in Section 8.1 above, in the event that any update of the Title Commitment or the Survey shows any new matters or conditions which are both (A) not included within the list of Existing Title/Survey Matters, and (B) material and adverse to Purchaser in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, Purchaser shall deliver notice (each such notice, a “Purchaser’s Title/Survey Update Notice”) thereof to Seller prior to the date that is the earlier of (X) the Closing Date or (Y) the date that is five (5) Business Days after Purchaser receives such update of the Title Commitment or the Survey (and if Purchaser fails to deliver such notice within such five (5) Business Day (or shorter) period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted such matters or conditions as Permitted Title/Survey Exceptions). Seller shall have ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of any Purchaser’s Title/Survey Update Notice (and if the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period is after the Closing Date, then, at the option of Seller, the Closing shall be adjourned to the date three (3) Business Days after the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period) in which to give Purchaser notice (each such notice, a “Seller’s Title/Survey Update Response”) that Seller will either (a) cause such new matter or condition to be deleted from the Title Commitment or Survey or insured against by the Title Company, or (b) not cause such new matter or condition to be deleted from the Title Commitment or Survey or
14
insured against by the Title Company. If Seller gives a Seller’s Title/Survey Update Response pursuant to clause (a), then Seller will cause such new matter or condition to be deleted from the Title Commitment or Survey or insured against by the Title Company, to occur on or prior to the Closing Date, as same may be adjourned pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2 (and Seller shall have the further right to adjourn the Closing Date one or more times (but for not more than fifteen (15) days in the aggregate) in order to effectuate same); provided, however, if at Closing Seller has failed to cause any such new matter or condition to be deleted from the Title Commitment or Survey, or insured against by the Title Company, then Purchaser’s sole and absolute remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement at Closing (in which event the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement shall apply to such termination). If Seller (i) fails to give any Seller’s Title/Survey Update Response within said ten (10) Business Day period, or (ii) gives notice pursuant to clause (b), then Purchaser will deliver written notice to Seller on or before the earlier of (I) one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date (as same may be adjourned pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2) or (II) the date that is three (3) Business Days following the earlier of the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period or the delivery of the Seller’s Title/Survey Update Response either (x) terminating this Agreement (in which event the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement shall apply to such termination) or (y) waiving the right to terminate this Agreement as a result of any such new matter or condition. If Purchaser fails to deliver such notice terminating this Agreement pursuant to clause (x) within said three (3) Business Day (or shorter) period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected under clause (x) above. If Purchaser elects to waive the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (y) above, then any new matter or condition previously objected to by Purchaser shall become Permitted Title/Survey Exceptions. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller shall be entitled to deliver Seller’s notice under clause (a) or clause (b) above in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion subject to the provisions of Section 8.3 of this Agreement and that Purchaser shall be required to accept title to the Premises subject to all Permitted Title/Survey Exceptions.
8.3. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, except as specified in this Section 8.3, Seller shall have no obligation to take any steps, bring any action or proceeding or incur any effort or expense whatsoever to cure any title or survey objection, provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall cause to be removed as exceptions to title (a) the liens of any mortgages or deeds of trust of Seller affecting the Premises (other than the Assumed Loan, to the extent that Purchaser assumes it as provided in Section 49 hereof), and (b) any mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens filed against the Premises due to work performed at the Premises by Seller at Seller’s direction (and Seller shall have the right to adjourn the Closing Date one or more times (but for not more than twenty (20) days in the aggregate) in order to effectuate same), and (c) any lien or encumbrance placed upon the Property subsequent to the Effective Date without Seller’s consent and not as a result of Seller’s action or omission, provided, however, the total amount required to be expended by Seller in respect of this Section 8.3(c) shall not exceed $75,000.00 (and Seller shall have the right to adjourn the Closing Date one or more times (but for not more than fifteen (15) days in the aggregate) in order to effectuate same).
9. Disposition of Downpayment.
If (a) Purchaser is entitled to and does elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5, 8, 11, 14, 20, 35, 36 or 52 of this Agreement, or (b) Seller is entitled to and does elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of this Agreement, then Seller and Purchaser shall direct Escrow Agent to refund to Purchaser the Downpayment (or such portion thereof as shall have been deposited with Escrow Agent). Upon such delivery of the Downpayment to Purchaser, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for the Post-Termination Obligations (as hereinafter defined), which shall survive such termination.
10. Purchaser’s Default.
(a) If Purchaser shall default hereunder (after taking into consideration any cure periods specified in Section 10(b) below, if applicable) in its obligation to purchase the Premises in the manner required pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise fails or refuses to perform Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Premises in accordance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, such a failure which is due to a breach of any of Purchaser’s Representations (as hereinafter defined) discovered prior to Closing) (such default, a “Closing Default”), Seller, as Seller’s sole remedy (except as provided in this Section 10), shall have the right to cause Escrow Agent to deliver to Seller the Downpayment, as and for Seller’s liquidated damages (the parties hereto acknowledging that it would be difficult or impossible to accurately ascertain the amount of Seller’s damages), whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement other than the Post-Termination Obligations, which shall survive such termination. If Purchaser shall default under this Agreement as a result of a breach of Section 17.4 or Section 34, then the Seller shall have all rights available to it at law or in equity without limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liquidated damages limitation set forth above shall have no application to any claim made by Seller against Purchaser based on Purchaser’s obligations under the Post-Termination Obligations, and in the event Seller has a claim against Purchaser based on any such Post-Termination Obligations, Seller shall be entitled to recover damages for such claim in addition to retention of the Downpayment. For example, if under Section 17.4 of this Agreement Purchaser is obligated to indemnify Seller for damages of $10,000 and Purchaser defaults under this Agreement, then Seller shall be entitled to receive $10,000 plus the entire Downpayment plus amounts under Section 32 of this Agreement.
(b) If, at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall default hereunder and, by the nature of such default, such default is capable of being cured (such a default, a “Curable Default”), Purchaser shall have until the earlier to occur of (x) the date ten (10) days after Purchaser receives notice from Seller of such Curable Default, and (y) the Closing Date, to cause such Curable Default to be cured to the reasonable satisfaction of Seller. If such Curable Default is not cured on or before the earlier of such dates, then the Purchaser shall be deemed to have defaulted under this Agreement and the provisions of Section 10(a) above shall apply to such default.

(b) If prior to Closing, Seller’s Representations, as made as of the Effective Date, are determined to be untrue in any material respect as of the Effective Date or if Seller’s Representations, as remade on the Closing Date, shall result in Seller’s Representations made as of the Effective Date being untrue in any material respect as of the Closing Date, then, Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s option and as Purchaser’s sole remedy (Purchaser specifically waiving any right to bring any action against Seller for damages arising therefrom), either (i) terminate this Agreement by notice in writing to Seller, in which event (subject to the provisions of this Section 11.3) the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement shall apply to such termination, and, solely in the event that a Seller’s Representation was actually false in any material respect when made on the Effective Date (as opposed to a Seller’s Representation that first becomes untrue after the Effective Date, due to changed circumstances or matters which arise or first come to Seller’s attention after the Effective Date), Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, through the date of such termination; provided, however, such expenses shall not exceed Seventy Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($75,000), in the aggregate, when taking into account any other Seller reimbursement of Purchaser’s expenses set forth in this Agreement)(such obligation of Seller shall survive such termination of this Agreement and shall be payable upon demand by Purchaser), or (ii) waive the same and accept title to the Premises without any abatement of the Purchase Price; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement as a result of any modification to or updating of Seller’s Representations to reflect (it being acknowledged and agreed that Purchaser may still have other rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the express terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, Sections 5, 14 and 36):
(w) Approved New Leases and/or Approved Lease Amendments;
(x) changes after the Effective Date to the Rent Roll that arise after the Effective Date (it being expressly acknowledged and agreed by Purchaser that the risk of changes to the Rent Roll or the leasing status of the Premises, for any reason after the Effective Date is Purchaser’s risk and no such change is intended to grant Purchaser any right to terminate this Agreement or obtain any damages from Seller);
(y) changes after the Effective Date to the schedule of litigation set forth in Exhibit R to reflect any additions or deletions other than litigation that, if adversely determined, would affect title to the Premises (it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that (A) the risk of changes after the Effective Date to the schedule of litigation for any reason that does not affect title to the Premises or does not seek to restrain or prevent the sale of the Property to Purchaser, including, without limitation, landlord/tenant
litigation and claims covered by insurance, after the Effective Date is Purchaser’s risk (meaning that no such change is intended to grant Purchaser any right to terminate this Agreement or obtain any damages from Seller); provided, however, if at Closing, the change to the schedule of litigation is a claim against Seller which relates to the Premises, which is not covered by insurance and, if adversely determined, is anticipated to result in losses and damages exceeding $100,000, as reasonably determined by Seller, then Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement (if at all) subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.3 but no such changes to the schedule of litigation shall, if not cured by Seller, entitle Purchaser to bring any action against Seller or constitute a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller, including, without limitation, any Seller’s Representation), and (B) changes after the Effective Date to the schedule of litigation for matters affecting title to the Premises, including, without limitation, any lawsuit, arbitration or other legal proceeding which seeks to restrain or prevent the sale of the Property to Purchaser, is Seller’s risk (it being acknowledged that any such changes to the schedule of litigation (other than pursuant to clause (A) above) shall (1) entitle Seller to terminate this Agreement by delivering notice of such termination to Purchaser, in which event the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement shall apply to such termination or (2) entitle Purchaser to terminate this Agreement (if at all) subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.3 but no such changes to the schedule of litigation shall, if not cured by Seller, entitle Purchaser to bring any action against Seller or constitute a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller, including, without limitation, any Seller’s Representation);
(z) actions that Seller is not prohibited from taking pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
(aa) any Violations that are not listed on Exhibit D attached hereto or condemnation or eminent domain proceedings commenced after the Effective Date (it being agreed that Purchaser’s rights in respect of Violations are governed by Section 5 above and Purchaser’s rights in respect of condemnation and eminent domain proceedings are governed by Section 14 below); or
(bb) any written notices of default delivered by Seller to any of the tenants under the Existing Leases after the Effective Date asserting that such tenant is in default under any of the Existing Leases (or any default that Seller first obtains actual knowledge of after the Effective Date); provided, however, if at Closing there are events of default existing under the Existing Leases which relate to the failure by tenants under such Existing Leases to make payments of base rental amounts and other charges due under such Existing Leases in excess of $100,000 (on an aggregate basis for all such Existing Leases), then, Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement (if at all) subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.3 but no such event of defaults shall, if not cured by Seller, entitle Purchaser to bring any action against Seller or constitute a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller, including, without limitation, any Seller’s Representation).
(cc) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.3(b) of this Agreement, Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.3 as a result of the untruth of any Seller’s Representation if, within ten (10) days after the delivery of Purchaser’s notice terminating this Agreement, Seller delivers written notice to Purchaser of Seller’s intention to cure, in which event Purchaser’s notice of termination shall be without effect and Seller shall, at Seller’s option, either:
(x) cause such untrue Seller’s Representation to be corrected at or before Closing (and Seller shall be entitled to adjourn the Closing Date one or more times (but for not more than fifteen (15) days in the aggregate) to effectuate such cure), and if Seller fails to effectuate such cure on or before the Closing Date (as same may have been adjourned), then Purchaser shall have the right at Closing, as Purchaser’s sole remedy (Purchaser specifically waiving any right to bring an action against Seller for damages arising therefrom), to either (i) terminate this Agreement by notice in writing to Seller, in which event
20
(subject to the provisions of this Section 11.3) the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement shall apply to such termination, and, solely in the event that a Seller’s Representation was actually false in any material respect when made on the Effective Date (as opposed to a Seller’s Representation that first becomes untrue after the Effective Date, due to changed circumstances or matters which arise or first come to Seller’s attention after the Effective Date), Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, through the date of such termination; provided, however, such expenses shall not exceed Seventy Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($75,000), in the aggregate, when taking into account any other Seller reimbursement of Purchaser’s expenses set forth in this Agreement)(such obligation of Seller shall survive such termination of this Agreement and shall be payable upon demand by Purchaser), or (ii) waive the same and accept title to the Premises without any abatement of the Purchase Price; or
(y) credit Purchaser at Closing with an amount equal to the diminution of value to the Premises caused by the untrue Seller’s Representation (it being agreed that if there is a dispute as to the amount of the credit under this subparagraph (y) then the provisions of Section 42 of this Agreement shall apply).
(d) If (i) prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser delivers notice to Seller that any Seller’s Representations are false in any material respect as hereinabove provided and/or (ii) on the date to which Seller adjourns the Closing pursuant to Section 11.3(c)(x) above, Purchaser delivers notice to Seller that Seller has failed to cure the relevant untrue Seller’s Representations, then Purchaser shall be required to elect one of the remedies set forth in Section 11.3(b) or Section 11.3(c)(x) (as applicable) above prior to the Closing Date and if Purchaser fails to make such an election same shall conclusively mean that Purchaser has determined to proceed under clause (i) of Section 11.3(b) above or clause (i) of Section 11.3(c)(x) above (as applicable). Without limitation of the foregoing, on or before the earlier to occur of (x) the Closing Date or (y) the date that is ten (10) days after the date that Purchaser becomes aware that any of Seller’s Representations are untrue in any material respect, Purchaser shall deliver notice thereof to Seller stating whether Purchaser desires to proceed in respect thereof under clause (i) or clause (ii) of Section 11.3(b) above, or clause (i) or clause (ii) of Section 11.3(c)(x) above, whichever is applicable. In the event that Purchaser fails to so notify Seller of any such untrue Seller’s Representation(s) within such ten (10) day (or shorter) period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived Purchaser’s right to terminate this Agreement and/or assert the untruth of such representation against Seller pursuant to the terms hereof. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event that Purchaser becomes aware that any of Seller’s Representations are untrue in any material respect prior to the Closing Date and nonetheless proceeds to Closing without making a claim under this Section 11.3, then same shall be deemed to be a waiver by Purchaser of any further right to make a claim arising out of such untrue nature of such Seller’s Representation(s).
11.4. Seller’s Representations (as modified or updated by Seller in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.3 of this Agreement) shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year. Each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 11.2 of this Agreement (collectively, “Purchaser’s Representations”) shall be deemed to have been remade at and as of the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if first made on and as of the Closing Date. Purchaser’s Representations shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year; provided, however, the Purchaser’s Representations set forth in Sections 11.2 (b), (c), (d), and (f) shall survive the Closing indefinitely.
11.5. If any of Purchaser’s Representations or Seller’s Representations is discovered to be untrue in any material respect after Closing, and a claim is asserted within the time periods set forth in Section 11.4 of this Agreement, then Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 19 and 37 of this Agreement, have the right to pursue any and all remedies available against Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, as a result of such inaccuracy.
11.7. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the term “to the actual knowledge of Seller” and words of similar import, shall mean the actual knowledge of Randall C. Stein and Thomas R. Pisano without any obligation to make inquiry of any kind, and (b) the term “to the actual knowledge of Purchaser” and words of similar import, shall mean the actual knowledge of Hal Scudder and Joel Staffilino.

The making available to Purchaser of the foregoing shall in no event be deemed to constitute a representation by Seller as to the accuracy, correctness or completeness thereof.

18. Approval of Leases, Contracts.
18.1. From and after the Effective Date through the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, in the event that Seller desires to enter into (i) any amendment, modification, renewal or extension of any Existing Lease (a “Proposed Lease Amendment”) or (ii) any new lease affecting any portion of the Premises (a “Proposed New Lease”), Seller shall deliver written notice (“Leasing Notice”) to Purchaser, which Leasing Notice shall contain a copy of such Proposed Lease Amendment or Proposed New Lease and request Purchaser’s consent to such Proposed Lease Amendment or Proposed New Lease. Within five (5) Business Days after Seller delivers the Leasing Notice to Purchaser, Purchaser shall deliver written notice to Seller approving or disapproving such Proposed Lease Amendment or such Proposed New Lease (and if Purchaser disapproves such Proposed Lease Amendment or Proposed New Lease Purchaser shall specify in such
27
notice the reasons for such disapproval). Purchaser shall not unreasonably withhold Purchaser’s consent to any such Proposed Lease Amendment or Proposed New Lease. In the event that Purchaser fails to deliver notice either approving or disapproving a Proposed Lease Amendment or a Proposed New Lease within the five (5) Business Day period set forth above, Purchaser shall be deemed to have disapproved such Proposed Lease Amendment or such Proposed New Lease. If Purchaser shall approve a Proposed Lease Amendment or a Proposed New Lease, then Seller shall have the right to execute such Proposed Lease Amendment or Proposed New Lease and upon such execution and delivery, the same shall be deemed to be an “Approved Lease Amendment” or an “Approved New Lease”, as the case may be, for purposes of this Agreement. If Purchaser shall reasonably disapprove a Proposed Lease Amendment or a Proposed New Lease, then Seller shall not enter into such Proposed Lease Amendment or Proposed New Lease, as applicable.
18.2. Seller shall have the right, without the necessity of obtaining the approval of Purchaser, to execute any amendment, modification, renewal or extension of an Existing Contract and any new contract affecting the Premises if and to the extent that such amendment, modification, renewal or extension of an Existing Contract or such new contract will not be binding upon Purchaser after the Closing Date. At Closing, Seller shall terminate (at Seller’s cost) any management agreement in existence with respect to the Premises.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no director, officer, employee, shareholder, member, manager, partner or agent of Seller nor any of the directors, officers, employees, shareholders, members, managers, partners, joint venturers or agents of any of the directors, officers, employees, shareholders, members, managers, partners, joint venturers or agents of Seller nor any other person, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, joint venture or trust, as principal of Seller, whether disclosed or undisclosed (collectively, the “Seller Exculpated Parties”), shall have any personal obligation or liability hereunder, and Purchaser shall not seek to assert any claim or enforce any of Purchaser’s rights hereunder against any Seller Exculpated Party.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no director, officer, employee, shareholder, member, manager, partner or agent of Purchaser nor any of the directors, officers, employees, shareholders, members, managers, partners, joint venturers or agents of any of the directors, officers, employees, shareholders, members, managers, partners, joint venturers or agents of Purchaser nor any other person, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, joint venture or trust, as principal of Purchaser, whether disclosed or undisclosed (collectively, the “Purchaser Exculpated Parties”), shall have any personal obligation or liability hereunder, and Seller shall not seek to assert any claim or enforce any of Seller’s rights hereunder against any Purchaser Exculpated Party.
Subject to the provisions of Sections 19 and 37 of this Agreement, if Seller shall default under this Agreement, then Purchaser, as Purchaser’s sole remedy (Purchaser specifically waiving any right to bring an action for monetary damages, including, without limitation, consequential, speculative or punitive damages), may either:
20.1. deliver written notice to Seller that Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, in which event the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement shall apply to such termination (and in the event of any such termination under this Section 20.1, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, through the date of such termination; provided, however, such expenses
shall not exceed Seventy Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($75,000), in the aggregate, when taking into account any other Seller reimbursement of Purchaser’s expenses set forth in this Agreement) (such obligation of Seller shall survive such termination of this Agreement and shall be payable upon demand by Purchaser); or
20.2. bring an action against Seller to seek specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder with respect to the Premises within sixty (60) days following the earlier of (x) the scheduled Closing Date or (y) the date of Purchaser’s knowledge of Seller’s breach. Such action for specific performance will not be construed to require Seller to cure any title defect (except as specifically provided in Section 8.3 of this Agreement), cure any untrue representation, comply with any covenant hereunder, cure any physical condition existing at the Premises (except as specifically provided in Section 17.5 of this Agreement), or cause any third party to take any action with respect to the Premises or Seller).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that Purchaser becomes aware that Seller has defaulted in any respect under this Agreement prior to the Closing Date and nonetheless proceeds to Closing, then same shall be deemed to be a waiver by Purchaser of any further right to make a claim arising out of such default. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that a breach of Seller’s Representations that is alleged by Purchaser under this Agreement shall not be deemed to fall within this Section 20 (it being acknowledged that Purchaser’s remedies in respect thereof are as set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement).
21.1. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and except for the Seller’s Representations, Purchaser shall accept the Premises at the Closing in the “as is”, “where is” condition of the Premises with all faults as of the Closing Date. Purchaser agrees that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall not be liable for any construction, latent or patent defects in the Premises, and shall not be bound in any manner whatsoever by any guarantees, promises, projections, operating expenses, set-ups or other information pertaining to the Premises made, furnished or claimed to have been made or furnished by Seller or any other person or entity, including, without limitation, Broker, or any partner, member, manager, shareholder, employee, agent, attorney or other person representing or purporting to represent Seller or Broker, whether verbally or in writing. Purchaser acknowledges that neither Seller nor any of the employees, agents or attorneys of Seller has made any verbal or written representations or warranties whatsoever to Purchaser, whether express, implied, statutory, or by operation of law, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and, in particular, that no such representations and warranties have been made with respect to the physical or environmental condition or operation of the Premises, the layout or footage of the Premises, the actual or projected revenue and expenses of the Premises or any of the Leases, zoning, environmental, and other laws, regulations and rules applicable to the Premises, or the compliance of the Premises therewith, the quantity, quality or condition of the articles of personal property and fixtures included in the transactions contemplated hereby, the use or occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof or any other matter or thing affecting or relating to the Premises or the transactions contemplated hereby, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. Purchaser has not relied and is not relying upon any representations or warranties, other than Seller’s Representations and the representations of Seller set forth in Section 13.2 of this Agreement, or upon any statements made in any informational materials with respect to the Premises provided by Seller or any other person or entity, including Broker or any shareholder, member, manager, employee, agent, attorney or other person representing or purporting to represent Seller or Broker. Without limitation of the foregoing, Purchaser specifically acknowledges and agrees that it has assumed the risk of changes in the condition of the Premises between the Effective Date and the Closing Date and no adverse change in such condition shall grant Purchaser any right to terminate this Agreement (except as expressly set forth in Section 14 of this Agreement) or to obtain any damages against Seller. IN ADDITION TO, AND
29
WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, AS TO THE QUANTITY, QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, MARKETABILITY, FITNESS, OR SUITABILITY FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE PREMISES OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF, AND THE PREMISES AND EACH COMPONENT THEREOF ARE SOLD IN AN “AS IS”, “WHERE IS” CONDITION, WITH ALL FAULTS. BY EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER AFFIRMS AND AGREES THAT (A) PURCHASER HAS NOT RELIED ON SELLER’S SKILL OR JUDGMENT TO SELECT OR FURNISH THE PREMISES OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, (B) SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE PREMISES OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF ARE FIT FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, (C) THERE ARE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, WITH RESPECT TO THE PREMISES OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF, (D) PURCHASER HAS BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE PREMISES AND EACH COMPONENT THEREOF AND HAS DETERMINED TO PURCHASE THE PREMISES AND EACH COMPONENT THEREOF BASED ON SUCH INSPECTION, AND (E) UPON CLOSING, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, PURCHASER SHALL ASSUME THE RISK THAT ADVERSE MATTERS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS AND ADVERSE PHYSICAL CONDITIONS, MAY NOT HAVE BEEN REVEALED BY PURCHASER’S INVESTIGATIONS, AND PURCHASER, ON CLOSING, SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED, RELINQUISHED, AND RELEASED SELLER FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CAUSES OF ACTION IN TORT, LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COURT COSTS) OF ANY AND EVERY KIND OR CHARACTER, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, THAT PURCHASER MIGHT HAVE ASSERTED OR ALLEGED AGAINST SELLER AT ANY TIME BY REASON OF OR ARISING OUT OF ANY LATENT OR PATENT CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS OR PHYSICAL CONDITIONS, VIOLATIONS OF ANY APPLICABLE LAWS AND ANY AND ALL OTHER ACTS, OMISSIONS, EVENTS, CIRCUMSTANCES, OR MATTERS REGARDING THE PREMISES.
21.2. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 21.1 of this Agreement, Purchaser specifically acknowledges and agrees as follows:
(a) except as expressly set forth in the Seller’s Representations, neither Seller nor any other party acting (or purporting to act) on behalf of Seller, has made any (and Seller hereby disclaims any) representation or warranty of any kind or nature concerning any environmental condition existing at the Premises;
(b) Seller has delivered to Purchaser copies of the environmental reports listed on Exhibit S (the matters stated therein being referred to as the “Environmental Disclosed Matters”);
(c) Purchaser shall take title to the Premises subject to any and all environmental conditions thereat (or the presence of any matter or substance relating to any such environmental condition at the Premises), whether known or unknown, disclosed or undisclosed, including, without limitation, the Environmental Disclosed Matters, all of the obligations under the O&M Plan Documents and any and all claims and/or liabilities relating to (in any manner whatsoever) any hazardous, toxic or dangerous materials or substances located in, at, about or under the Premises, or for any and all claims or causes of action (actual or threatened) based upon, in connection with or arising out of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. §9601 et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. §6901 et seq., and the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, 42 U.S.C. §9601 et seq., or any other law or cause of action (including any federal
30
or state based statutory, regulatory or common law cause of action) related to environmental matters or liability (“Environmental Laws”) with respect to or affecting the Premises (any of the foregoing described in this clause (c) being referred to as “Environmental Conditions”);
(d) Purchaser hereby releases Seller and each Seller Exculpated Party from any liability of any kind or nature relating to Environmental Laws or otherwise arising with respect to any Environmental Conditions and, specifically, agrees that if any claim is brought against Purchaser arising out of any Environmental Conditions Purchaser shall have no claim of any kind or nature against Seller or any Seller Exculpated Party; provided, however, subject to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 11 and 37, Seller shall remain liable for Seller’s Representations;
(e) Purchaser hereby assumes liability for any and all Environmental Conditions and hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Seller and each Seller Exculpated Party from any and all liabilities, claims, losses, costs, expenses and damages (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements and costs incurred in the enforcement of the foregoing indemnification obligation) arising out of any Environmental Condition, whether or not pre-existing at the Closing and whether or not disclosed to Purchaser, it being the intention of the parties hereto that from and after the Closing (i) Seller shall have no further liability or obligation in respect of environmental matters of any kind or nature pertaining to the Premises, and (ii) Purchaser shall fully assume any such liability or obligation, including, without limitation, the cost of any cleanup, remediation or removal of any hazardous substances or other Environmental Conditions; provided, however, subject to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 11 and 37, Seller shall remain liable for Seller’s Representations.
21.3. PURCHASER, WITH PURCHASER’S COUNSEL, HAS FULLY REVIEWED THE DISCLAIMERS AND WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 21, AND UNDERSTANDS THEIR SIGNIFICANCE AND EFFECT. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE DISCLAIMERS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 21, ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT SELLER WOULD NOT HAVE AGREED TO SELL THE PREMISES TO PURCHASER FOR THE PURCHASE PRICE WITHOUT THE DISCLAIMERS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 21. THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS SECTION 21 WILL EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE CLOSING AND WILL NOT MERGE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF ANY CLOSING DOCUMENTS.

26. Successors and Assigns.
26.1. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the respective parties, provided, however, Purchaser may not assign this Agreement or any of Purchaser’s rights thereunder, or permit a Change of Ownership (as hereinafter defined) in respect of Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller, provided, further, however, Seller’s consent shall not be required for (a) an assignment of this Agreement by Purchaser to an Affiliated Assignee or a Permitted Assignee or (b) a Permitted Change of Ownership (as hereinafter defined) in respect of Purchaser, provided, that the following shall apply with respect to any such assignment to an Affiliated Assignee or a Permitted Assignee or to a Permitted Change of Ownership:
(a) In the event of a proposed assignment of this Agreement by Purchaser to an Affiliated Assignee or a Permitted Assignee, (i) Purchaser shall provide Seller with the name, signature block, address and federal taxpayer identification number and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Title Company, any other information pertaining to the proposed Permitted Assignee or Affiliated Assignee, as applicable, reasonably requested by Seller (including, without limitation, evidence that the Permitted Assignee or Affiliated Assignee, as applicable, satisfies the ownership and control requirements set forth in the definition of same) not later than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, (ii) such Permitted Assignee or Affiliated Assignee, as applicable, assumes all of the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in form reasonably acceptable to Seller, (iii) no assignment of this Agreement to a Permitted Assignee or Affiliated Assignee, as applicable, shall relieve Purchaser from any of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, (iv) no such assignment shall have the effect of delaying the Closing in any respect, (v) such Permitted Assignee or Affiliated Assignee, as applicable, shall be fully and completely liable for any and all state, county, municipal and local transfer taxes that may be payable in connection with such assignment, (vi) no such assignment shall obligate any Seller to cause any other third party to re-deliver any document, instrument or other agreement previously delivered by such third party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (vii) any such assignment will not be effective until the Closing Date (i.e., Purchaser’s ability to assign hereunder shall be limited to an assignment that is effective concurrently with the Closing hereunder).
(b) In the event of a proposed Change of Ownership in respect of Purchaser, (i) Purchaser shall provide Seller with such information pertaining to Purchaser and the proposed Change of Ownership reasonably requested by Seller (including, without limitation, evidence that after the consummation of the proposed change of ownership, Purchaser satisfies the ownership and control requirements set forth in the definition of Permitted Change of Ownership) not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (ii) no such proposed Change of Ownership shall have the effect of delaying the Closing in any respect, (iii) Purchaser shall be fully and completely liable for any and all State and local transfer taxes that may be payable in connection with such proposed Change of Ownership, and (iv) no such proposed Change of Ownership shall obligate Seller to cause any third party to re-deliver any document, instrument or other agreement previously delivered by such third party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

agrees not to file any lis pendens or other instrument against the Premises in connection herewith. In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser:
(i) acknowledges that the filing of a lis pendens or other evidence of Purchaser’s rights or the existence of this Agreement against or encumbering the Premises could cause significant monetary and other damages to Seller; and
(ii) hereby indemnifies Seller (and each Seller Exculpated Party) from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the enforcement of the foregoing indemnification obligation) arising out of the breach by Purchaser of any of Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 31(a).
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 31(a) above, Purchaser shall have the right to file a lis pendens against the Premises solely under circumstances under which Purchaser is seeking specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder, provided (A) Purchaser files such claim within sixty (60) days following the earlier of (x) the scheduled Closing Date or (y) the date of Purchaser’s knowledge of Seller’s breach and (B) if it is ultimately determined by a court order that Purchaser was not entitled to specific performance under this Agreement and that Purchaser acted in a manner that constitutes gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud and/or bad faith in connection with the filing of such lis pendens by Purchaser, Purchaser shall, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless Seller (and each Seller Exculpated Party) from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the enforcement of the foregoing indemnification obligation) arising out of the filing of such lis pendens by Purchaser (including, without limitation, consequential damages incurred by Seller as a result thereof).
(c) The provisions of this Section 31 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

The provisions of this Section 32 shall survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
33.1. In the event that Seller desires to effectuate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement as a tax-free exchange, then upon request made by Seller, Purchaser shall cooperate fully with Seller in effectuating such tax-free exchange, such cooperation to include, without limitation, executing and delivering all documents and instruments necessary, for such purpose, provided that (i) Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for any costs or expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with such cooperation, (ii) Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser for, from and against any and all costs, loss, liability or damages incurred by Purchaser in cooperating with such tax free exchange on a post-tax basis, (iii) Purchaser shall not be required to take title to any other property in connection with such tax free exchange, (iv) Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for any costs or expenses incurred by
36
Purchaser in connection with such cooperation, (v) Purchaser shall not be required to undertake any additional liability in connection with such cooperation, and (vi) such tax-free exchange shall not delay the Closing.
33.2. In the event that Purchaser desires to effectuate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement as a tax-free exchange, then upon request made by Purchaser, Seller shall cooperate fully with Purchaser in effectuating such tax-free exchange, such cooperation to include, without limitation, executing and delivering all documents and instruments necessary, for such purpose, provided that (i) Purchaser shall not be released from liability under the Agreement in connection with any assignment of the Agreement made by Purchaser to effectuate such tax free exchange, (ii) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller for, from and against any and all costs, loss, liability or damages incurred by Seller in cooperating with such tax free exchange on a post-tax basis, (iii) Seller shall not be required to take title to any other property in connection with such tax free exchange, (iv) such tax-free exchange shall not delay the Closing or obligate Seller to cause any other third party to re-deliver any document, instrument or other agreement previously delivered by such third party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (vi) Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for any costs or expenses incurred by Seller in connection with such cooperation (and that Seller shall not be required to undertake any additional liability in connection with such cooperation).
33.3 The provisions of this Section 33 shall survive the Closing.
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the terms and provisions of any confidentiality agreement delivered by Purchaser (or any affiliate of Purchaser) shall be applicable to Purchaser and shall remain in effect on and after the execution and delivery of this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, any documents, instruments, records or other information delivered by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed confidential information for purposes of such confidentiality agreement. The provisions of this Section 34 shall survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
Purchaser shall have the right to conduct a due diligence review (the “Due Diligence Review”) of the Premises during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on December 19, 2012, at 11:59 P.M. (New York time) (the “Due Diligence Period”). On or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall deliver written notice (the “Diligence Notice”) to Seller stating either:
35.1. that Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, in which event the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement shall apply to such termination; or
35.2. that Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement, in which event Purchaser shall thereupon be deemed to have waived any right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Section 35, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, and the Deposit shall thereupon become nonrefundable (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement).
Purchaser shall be deemed to have delivered a Diligence Notice at 11:59 P.M. (New York time) on the last day of the Due Diligence Period under Section 35.1 above if Purchaser fails to deliver any Diligence Notice to Seller during the Due Diligence Period. In the event that Purchaser has delivered a Diligence Notice under Section 35.2 on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, but nevertheless fails
37
to deliver the Additional Deposit to Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement on or prior to one (1) Business Day after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Purchaser shall be in default under this Agreement and Seller shall have it remedies under Section 10 above. The parties acknowledge and agree that the failure of Purchaser to deliver the Additional Deposit as required by this Agreement is not a Curable Default. Time shall be of the essence with respect to Purchaser’s delivery of the Diligence Notice and the Additional Deposit.
36.1. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller shall exercise reasonable efforts to obtain an estoppel certificate (each, a “Tenant Estoppel Certificate”) from each tenant under a Lease as of the Closing Date (any space demised to a tenant under a Lease as of the Closing Date being referred to as “Leased Space”).
36.2. As a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to acquire the Premises, Seller shall deliver Tenant Estoppel Certificates at least five (5) days prior to the then scheduled Closing from (a) the tenants (the “Required Tenants”) listed on Exhibit W (the “Required Estoppel Certificates”) and (b) a sufficient number of tenants such that estoppel certificates received in aggregate shall cover seventy-five percent (75%) of the Leased Space (inclusive of the square footage of the Leases of the Required Tenants) (the “Estoppel Condition”). In the event that Seller is unable to satisfy the Estoppel Condition on or before at least five (5) days prior the Closing (it being acknowledged that Seller shall have the right to adjourn the Closing Date one or more times (but for not more than thirty (30) days in the aggregate) in order to satisfy the Estoppel Condition) then Purchaser shall have the right, as Purchaser’s sole remedy (Purchaser specifically waiving any right to bring an action against Seller for damages), by written notice to Seller on or before the Closing Date (as may be adjourned by Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.2 above), to either (i) terminate this Agreement (in which event the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement shall apply to such termination) or (ii) waive the same and accept title to the Premises without any abatement of the Purchase Price (it being agreed that in the event that Seller is unable to satisfy the Estoppel Condition at least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, and Purchaser does not deliver any such notice to Seller on or before the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected under clause (i) above), provided, however, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement under clause (i) as a result of the failure of Seller to satisfy the Estoppel Condition in the event that Seller delivers an estoppel certificate from Seller (each, a “Seller Estoppel Certificate”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit X on behalf of sufficient tenants of Leased Space such that the Estoppel Condition is satisfied by either Tenant Estoppel Certificates or Seller Estoppel Certificates (or a combination of both), provided, further, however, (x) Seller shall not be permitted to deliver a Seller Estoppel Certificate in place of a Required Estoppel Certificate, and (y) Seller shall only be permitted to deliver Seller Estoppels for up to ten percent (10%) of the Leased Space based on the total square footage of all Leased Space (exclusive of the square footage of the Leases of the Required Tenants). Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall have no obligation whatsoever to deliver a Seller Estoppel Certificate with respect to any Tenant of the Premises or any Leased Space. Purchaser specifically acknowledges and agrees that the failure of Seller to deliver Tenant Estoppel Certificates or the existence of adverse matters disclosed in Tenant Estoppel Certificates or Seller Estoppel Certificates shall not give rise to any remedy of any kind against Seller (other than any extension rights set forth in this Agreement and the termination right in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Section 36.2).
36.3. For purposes of this Section 36, Seller and Purchaser agree that the following shall apply:
(a) Seller shall request Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the tenants in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Y (the “Form Tenant Estoppel Certificate”). The delivery of a Tenant
38
Estoppel Certificate from a tenant in form substantially similar to the Form Tenant Estoppel Certificate shall be deemed to be the delivery of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from such tenant for purposes of Section 36.2, provided, however, if the tenant fails or refuses to deliver a Tenant Estoppel Certificate in the form of the Form Tenant Estoppel Certificate, then the delivery of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate by such tenant that substantially complies with the estoppel requirements in such tenant’s Lease shall be deemed to be the delivery of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from such tenant for purposes of Section 36.2 (it being acknowledged that if a Lease provides for a Tenant Estoppel Certificate containing certain specified items and such other items as landlord may “reasonably require”, then the delivery by the tenant thereunder of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate without any items other than the specified items shall be deemed to be the delivery of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate by such tenant in compliance with the terms of such Lease), provided, further, however, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 36.3(a), (A) if any tenant under the Lease is the General Services Administration, the United States Postal Service or any other governmental agency, such tenant shall be deemed to have delivered a Tenant Estoppel Certificate in form acceptable to Purchaser (subject to the provisions of Section 36.3(b), (d) and (e)) if (i) such tenant furnishes such tenant’s Tenant Estoppel Certificate with respect to its Lease on such tenant’s then current standard form (notwithstanding any other form that is attached to such tenant’s Lease), or (ii), in the event tenant is required by the terms of applicable federal, state, county, municipal or other local law not to furnish a Tenant Estoppel Certificate, such tenant furnishes a letter or certificate in compliance with the requirements or restrictions of such applicable federal, state, county, municipal or other local law, and (B) with respect to any statement regarding hazardous substances from the Form Tenant Estoppel Certificate, if any tenant under the Lease (i) does not include such statement or (ii) does include such statement, but modifies it in any way, then, in either such case, the delivery of such a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from such tenant shall be deemed to be the delivery of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from such tenant for purposes of Section 36.2 (and Purchaser shall not have any right or remedy against Seller as result thereof).
(b) In order to be treated as a delivered Tenant Estoppel Certificate for purposes of Section 36.2, the estoppel certificate delivered by a tenant shall be dated no earlier than December 4, 2012, provided however, if the Closing Date is after January 31, 2013, then no estoppel certificate delivered by a tenant shall be dated any earlier than forty-five (45) days prior to Closing.
(c) The Seller Estoppel Certificates shall (i) be in the form of Exhibit X, (ii) be dated the day before the Closing Date, and (iii) survive the Closing for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days (the “Estoppel Survival Period”).
(d) (i) Subject to Section 36.3(d)(ii) below, if a Tenant Estoppel Certificate or a Seller Estoppel Certificate contains material and adverse information or omissions unacceptable to Purchaser in its reasonable discretion, Purchaser shall object thereto by written notice to Seller within
the earlier of three (3) Business Days after receipt by Purchaser of the objectionable Tenant Estoppel Certificate or Seller Estoppel Certificate or the Closing Date. If no such notice is delivered by Purchaser, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such condition and accepted such Tenant Estoppel Certificate or a Seller Estoppel Certificate. If such written notice is delivered, then Seller shall either (x) cure such objection prior to Closing (and Seller shall be entitled to adjourn the Closing one or more times (but for not more than thirty (30) days in the aggregate) to effectuate such cure), or (y) notify Purchaser that Seller does not intend to cure such objection. If Seller acts under clause (x) above, then Seller shall exercise reasonable efforts to cure the applicable objection prior to Closing, provided that if Seller is unable (in spite of the exercise of reasonable efforts by Seller) to cause such objection to be cured at or prior to Closing, then Purchaser’s sole remedy at Closing shall be either to (X) terminate this Agreement, in which event the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement shall apply to such termination or (Y) elect to proceed to the Closing without abatement of the Purchase Price and without further obligation of Seller in respect of such Tenant Estoppel Certificate or a Seller Estoppel Certificate. If Seller acts under clause (y)
39
above, then Purchaser shall, on or before the earlier of three (3) Business Days after Purchaser receives notice from Seller pursuant to such clause (y) or the Closing Date, deliver notice to Seller stating either (A) that Purchaser elects to proceed to the Closing without abatement of the Purchase Price and without further obligation of Seller in respect of such Tenant Estoppel Certificate or a Seller Estoppel Certificate or (B) that Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, in which event the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement shall apply to such termination.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 36.3(d)(i) above, a Tenant Estoppel Certificate or a Seller Estoppel Certificate that discloses defaults by the tenant under the applicable Lease (including, for example, a statement that the tenant is in default and/or in bankruptcy and as a result has not paid rent for an extended period of time) that has occurred on or after the Effective Date shall nonetheless be deemed to be the delivery of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate or a Seller Estoppel Certificate for purposes of Section 36.2 and no such delivery of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate or Seller Estoppel Certificate shall entitle Purchaser to any remedy against Seller, it being acknowledged that for all purposes of this Agreement the risk of tenant defaults on or after the Effective Date is solely that of Purchaser, provided, however, if a Tenant Estoppel Certificate discloses that Seller has defaulted under a Lease or discloses that Seller’s Representations contained in Section 11.1(d), Section 11.1(l), Section 11.1(n), Section 11.1(p) or Section 11.1(q) of this Agreement are untrue in a material respect, then (x) same shall nonetheless be deemed to be the delivery of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate for purposes of Section 36.2, (y) the provisions of Section 36.3(e) shall apply with respect to any Seller default under a Lease and (z) the provisions of Section 11.3 shall apply with respect to any materially untrue Seller Representation.
(e) If a Tenant Estoppel Certificate delivered by a tenant discloses a default by Seller under such tenant’s Lease, then Seller shall either (i) cure such default prior to Closing (and Seller shall be entitled to adjourn the Closing one or more times (but for not more than twenty (20) days in the aggregate) to effectuate such cure), or (ii) notify Purchaser that Seller does not intend to cure such default, provided, however, if the total cost to cure a default by Seller referenced in a Tenant Estoppel Certificate (when aggregated with costs to cure defaults by Seller under all other Tenant Estoppel Certificates) is less than $100,000, then Seller shall not act under clause (ii).
(x) If Seller acts under clause (i) above, then Seller shall exercise reasonable efforts to cure the applicable default by Seller prior to Closing, provided that if Seller is unable (in spite of the exercise of reasonable efforts by Seller) to cause such default to be corrected at or prior to Closing, then Purchaser’s sole remedy at Closing shall be either to (A) terminate this Agreement, in which event the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement shall apply to such termination, or (B) elect to proceed to the Closing without abatement of the Purchase Price and without further obligation of Seller in respect of such Tenant Estoppel Certificate.
(y) If Seller acts under clause (ii) above, then Purchaser shall, on or before the earlier of three (3) Business Days after Purchaser receives notice from Seller pursuant to such clause (ii) or the Closing Date, deliver notice to Seller stating either (A) that Purchaser elects to proceed to the Closing without abatement of the Purchase Price and without further obligation of Seller in respect of such Tenant Estoppel Certificate or (B) that Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, in which event the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement shall apply to such termination and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, through the date of such termination; provided, however, such expenses shall not exceed Seventy Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($75,000), in the aggregate, when taking into account any other Seller reimbursement of Purchaser’s expenses set forth in this Agreement)(such obligation of Seller shall survive such termination of this Agreement and shall be payable upon demand by Purchaser).
40
36.4. In the event that one (1) or more Seller Estoppel Certificates is delivered by Seller pursuant to the provisions of this Section 36, then the following shall apply:
(a) In the event that Purchaser discovers after the Closing Date but prior to the expiration of the Estoppel Survival Period, that a statement of Seller set forth in a Seller Estoppel Certificate is false in a material respect as of the date made, then Purchaser shall have the right to make a claim (each, an “Estoppel Claim”) against Seller for an amount equal to the damages caused to Purchaser as a result of such false statement, provided that the maximum amount recoverable by Purchaser for an Estoppel Claim (when aggregated with all other claims under this Agreement) shall not exceed the Maximum Amount (as hereinafter defined). In order to properly assert an Estoppel Claim against Seller, Purchaser shall be required to deliver written notice (an “Estoppel Claim Notice”) of such Estoppel Claim (stating in reasonable detail the basis for the Estoppel Claim) to Seller on or before the expiration of the Estoppel Survival Period. In the event that Purchaser has not delivered an Estoppel Claim Notice by the expiration of the Estoppel Survival Period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any right to assert an Estoppel Claim.
(b) If Purchaser delivers an Estoppel Claim Notice prior to the end of the Estoppel Survival Period, then Seller shall within fifteen (15) days after Seller receives the Estoppel Claim Notice, deliver notice (an “Estoppel Response Notice”) to Purchaser stating either (i) that Seller agrees with the Estoppel Claim made by Purchaser, in which event Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for the amount equal to the damages caused to Purchaser as asserted in the Estoppel Claim or (ii) Seller disputes the Estoppel Claim made by Purchaser, in which event Purchaser shall have the right to make a claim against Seller for an amount equal to the damages caused to Purchaser as asserted in the Estoppel Claim, provided that (x) the maximum amount recoverable by Purchaser for an Estoppel Claim (when aggregated with all other claims under this Agreement) shall not exceed the Maximum Amount, and (y) in no event shall Purchaser have any right to recover speculative, consequential or punitive damages against Seller all of which are expressly hereby waived by Purchaser.
(c) If subsequent to the delivery of a Seller Estoppel Certificate with respect to a tenant’s Leased Space, Seller delivers the applicable Tenant Estoppel Certificate from such tenant and such Tenant Estoppel Certificate confirms the information provided in such Seller Estoppel Certificate, then the Seller Estoppel Certificate will be without further force or effect and Purchaser shall rely solely upon the applicable Tenant Estoppel Certificate.
37.1. Except as otherwise specifically herein provided or provided in a Seller Document (as hereinafter defined), no representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Seller set forth in (a) this Agreement or (b) Seller Document, shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed. In addition, any representation, warranty, indemnification or other obligation of Seller that is stated in this Agreement or any Seller Document to survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year (unless a shorter period of time is specifically herein provided or provided in any Seller Document in which case such shorter period of time shall apply). Any representation, warranty, indemnification or other obligation of Purchaser that is stated in this Agreement, any Seller Document or any other documents to survive the Closing shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year (unless a longer period of time is specifically herein provided or provided in any Seller Document or such other documents in which case such longer period of time shall apply). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Seller Document” means any document or instrument executed and delivered by Seller to Purchaser in connection herewith, including, without limitation, the Deed, the Bill of Sale, the Assignment and Assumption of Leases, the Assignment and Assumption of Contract, the Assignment and
41
Assumption of Intangible Property, the Assignment and Assumption of O&M Plan Documents and any Seller Estoppel Certificate.
37.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, (a) Purchaser shall not pursue any claim against Seller that causes damage to Purchaser that is less than the Floor (as hereinafter defined), and (b) the maximum amount of liability that Seller shall have under any circumstance for any surviving obligation under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any obligation arising out of any Seller’s Representation that survives the Closing, any indemnification or other obligation contained herein that is specifically stated to survive the Closing, any obligation of Seller under any Seller Estoppel Certificate, any liability under any other document or instrument delivered by Seller in connection with the Closing, and any Post-Termination Obligation) shall not exceed a total aggregate amount of six-hundred thousand dollars ($600,000) (the “Maximum Amount”). As used herein, the term “Floor” shall mean, with respect to any claim against Seller for the breach of any of Seller’s Representations an amount equal to $10,000.
38. Arbitration of Matters in Dispute.
38.1. In the event that there is a disagreement between Purchaser and Seller as to any matter arising out of this Agreement for which arbitration is expressly stated to be the sole procedure or mechanism for the resolution of such disagreement (the “Matter in Dispute”), then the Matter in Dispute shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association within the City of Fairlawn or the County of Summit, State of Ohio. The arbitrators will be entitled to award monetary damages, declaratory relief and injunctive relief interpreting the provisions of this Agreement, however the arbitrators will not be entitled to award punitive or consequential damages or to act inconsistently with the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrators will be entitled, but not required, to provide that the losing party in any arbitration will pay all or a portion of the prevailing party’s costs incurred in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the costs and fees of the arbitrators, provided, however, if the arbitrators decline to make such a provision, then the costs of the arbitration will be split equally between the parties (except that each party will bear such party’s own attorneys’ fees). The determination of the arbitrators in the foregoing proceeding shall be binding upon the parties, subject only to the provision of Section 38.3 below.
38.2. In the event that the arbitrators make a determination in favor of a party (the “Prevailing Party”) and the Matter in Dispute is monetary in nature, then the other party (the “Non-Prevailing Party”) shall pay to the Prevailing Party the amount determined by the arbitrators to be necessary to make the Prevailing Party whole (the “Arbitrated Amount”) within ten (10) days after the determination is made in such arbitration proceeding, provided, however, in the event this Agreement expressly provides that an escrow of funds (each, a “Funds Escrow”) be established (and such Funds Escrow is established) by the Non-Prevailing Party with respect to a monetary Matter in Dispute and the amount in the Funds Escrow is greater than the Arbitrated Amount, then the Non-Prevailing Party shall, within such ten (10) day period, instruct the escrow agent for the Funds Escrow to disburse an amount equal to the Arbitrated Amount from the Funds Escrow to the Prevailing Party and, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Non-Prevailing Party shall be entitled to a return of the remaining funds in the Funds Escrow. In the event that the arbitrators make a determination in favor of the Prevailing Party and the Matter in Dispute is non-monetary in nature, then the Non-Prevailing Party shall take such action as is required by the arbitrators in connection therewith within ten (10) days after the determination is made in such arbitration proceeding.
38.3. The parties agree that the arbitration proceeding described in this Section 38 is the sole and exclusive manner in which the parties may resolve Matters in Dispute and the parties fully waive any right to commence any action or proceeding in any court arising out of any Matter in Dispute,
subject only to the right of a party hereto to bring an action in court to enforce the determination made in an arbitration proceeding. For the avoidance of doubt the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any dispute arising out of this Agreement that is not a Matter in Dispute shall not be required to be submitted to arbitration as hereinabove provided.

THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY PURCHASER AND SELLER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. SELLER OR PURCHASER, AS APPLICABLE, IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY PURCHASER OR SELLER, AS APPLICABLE.

The parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event that this Agreement provides that (A) Purchaser is entitled to receive a credit under this Agreement, or a sum is to be escrowed hereunder at Closing, or an amount hereunder is to be prorated or adjusted, or another calculation or determination is to be made hereunder at or before Closing (each, a “Calculation”) and (B) disputes in respect of the amount of such Calculation are to be determined pursuant to this Section 42, then the following shall apply:
(a) if Seller and Purchaser do not agree upon a Calculation, Seller shall at any time prior to the Closing deliver to Purchaser a notice (“Seller’s Calculation Notice”) setting forth (i) Seller’s estimate of the amount of such Calculation (“Seller’s Calculation”), and (ii) the reasons (which may include (but shall not require) third party bids or estimates regarding any work to which such credit to Purchaser, proration, adjustment, escrowed sum or other calculation, as applicable, applies) for Seller’s Calculation;
(b) Purchaser shall have until the date that is five (5) Business Days following the receipt of Seller’s Calculation Notice (and if the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period is after the Closing Date, then the Closing Date shall automatically be adjourned to the date five (5) Business Days following the receipt of Seller’s Calculation Notice), in which to deliver a notice to Seller (“Purchaser’s Calculation Response”), stating either (i) that Purchaser agrees with Seller’s Calculation, or (ii) that Purchaser disagrees with Seller’s Calculation, and if Purchaser delivers Purchaser’s Calculation Response under this clause (ii), such Purchaser’s Calculation Response shall further set forth (x) Purchaser’s estimate of the Calculation (“Purchaser’s Calculation”) and (y) the reasons (which may include (but shall not require) third party bids or estimates regarding any work to which such Calculation applies) for Purchaser’s Calculation;
(c) in the event Purchaser delivers Purchaser’s Calculation Response under clause (i) of Section 42(b) above, then Seller’s Calculation shall be deemed to be the Calculation, and the Closing shall take place, and the amount of the Calculation shall equal the Seller’s Calculation; and
(d) in the event Purchaser delivers Purchaser’s Calculation Response under clause (ii) of Section 42(b) above, then, the amount of the Calculation (for purposes of the Closing only) shall equal the lesser of Purchaser’s Calculation and Seller’s Calculation, and the difference between such Calculations shall be withheld from the Purchase Price, and paid over to Escrow Agent and held by Escrow Agent in escrow and, subsequent to the Closing, the parties hereto shall submit the dispute to arbitration pursuant to Section 38 of this Agreement, the determination of which shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties and the costs of which shall be paid by the substantially losing party (i.e., the non-prevailing party), and the escrowed amount shall be released and disbursed in accordance with such determination. To the extent the provisions of this Section 42(d) become applicable at Closing (i.e., funds are escrowed with Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Section 42(d)), then the provisions of this Section 42(d) shall survive the Closing.
43. No Third Party Beneficiaries.
PURCHASER AND SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THERE ARE NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND, ACCORDINGLY, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, NO THIRD PARTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY BROKER) SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF SUCH THIRD PARTY OR AGAINST THE INTERESTS OF PURCHASER

Ambiguities in this Agreement shall not be construed against the party drafting this Agreement, notwithstanding any contrary rule of construction or interpretation at law or in equity.
47. No Special Relationship Between Seller and Purchaser.
Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that the relationship between Purchaser and Seller is solely a commercial relationship, and the execution of this Agreement by Purchaser and Seller shall not create (and neither Purchaser nor Seller intends to create) any relationship of principal and agent between Purchaser and Seller, or any partnership or joint venture relationship between Purchaser and Seller. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be deemed to be a fiduciary of the other party.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 49 below, Purchaser expressly acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement are not in any way conditioned upon or qualified by Purchaser’s ability to obtain financing of any type or nature whatsoever (i.e., whether by way of debt financing, equity investment, or otherwise) to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Assumed Loan.
Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that (a) the Premises is currently subject to that certain loan from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (together with its successors and assigns, the “Lender”) to Seller in the original principal amount of up to $23,100,000.00 (the “Assumed Loan”) pursuant to the terms of the Assumed Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined), (b) in connection with
45
Purchaser’s proposed acquisition of the Premises, Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) assume the Assumed Loan and the Assumed Loan Documents and (c) Lender’s consent to the sale of the Premises and the assumption of the Loan by Purchaser is required pursuant to the terms of the Assumed Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the replacement of the Guarantors (as defined in the Assumed Loan Documents) with a guarantor satisfactory to the Lender). In connection with the foregoing, the following shall apply:
49.1 In connection with the assumption of the Assumed Loan by Purchaser, Purchaser shall (i) promptly provide such information as is required by Lender regarding Purchaser and deliver such documents, agreements and opinions as are required by the Lender (including, without limitation, organizational documents of Purchaser and its direct and indirect constituent entities, non-consolidation opinions, enforceability opinions, certificates and any other information or documentation reasonably required by Lender), (ii) reserved, (iii) cause its organizational structure to satisfy the special purpose entity/separateness requirements of the Lender and the Assumed Loan Documents, (iv) cause the new property manager and management agreement to satisfy the requirements of the Lender, (v) cause to be provided a substitute guarantor that is acceptable to Lender and (vi) take such other steps and deliver such other documents and agreements as are reasonably required to be taken or delivered to the Lender (it being acknowledged that any application fee, assumption fee, and the fees and costs charged by the Lender in connection with reviewing the assumption, approving Purchaser, preparing the assumption documents, any title charges, appraisal costs and other amounts charged by the Lender in approving Purchaser shall be paid by Purchaser, which payment obligation shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement; provided, however, if the Closing occurs and Purchaser assumes the Assumed Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall be obligated to pay up to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Assumed Loan towards the assumption fee, if any, charged by the Lender (it being agreed that such contribution by the Seller shall not apply to any other amounts charged by Lender in connection with the Purchaser’s assumption of the Assumed Loan, including, without limitation, any attorneys’ fees of the Lender’s counsel and other fees charged by the Lender).
49.2 On or prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller evidence (in form satisfactory to Seller) that:
(a) Lender has consented to the acquisition of the Premises by Purchaser and to the assumption of the Assumed Loan by Purchaser (including, without limitation, approval of the assumption of the Assumed Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Swap Agreement (as hereinafter defined), approval of the substitute guarantor, approval of the form of opinions to be delivered by Purchaser, confirmation from the applicable rating agencies, if any, and other deliveries or matters required from Purchaser by Lender or required for the Assumed Loan to be assumed by Purchaser);
(b) Lender and Purchaser have agreed upon the form of loan assumption document to be entered into by Purchaser and/or the substitute guarantor at the Closing and Lender has agreed to execute and deliver such agreed-upon form without condition other than (i) the payment by Purchaser of the assumption fee and costs required to be paid to Lender, (ii) the execution and delivery of the Loan Assumption Documents by Purchaser and (iii) delivery by Purchaser of the opinions, certificates and other deliveries required by Lender pursuant to the Assumed Loan Documents (the conditions set forth in subclauses (a), (b), (c) and (d), the “Loan Assumption Condition”; the documents agreed to between Purchaser and Lender, the “Loan Assumption Documents”);
(c) the Loan Assumption Documents provide, among other things, upon execution and delivery thereof that the Seller and the Guarantors (as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall be released from all liability under the Assumed Loan Documents (including, without limitation, under
46
any guaranties and/or environmental indemnities) first accruing from and after the Closing Date, such release to be in form and substance acceptable to Seller, in its sole discretion.;
(d) without limiting clause (c) above, the Loan Assumption Documents provide, among other things, upon execution and delivery thereof that the Seller and the Guarantors (as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall not be liable for any amounts under the Swap Agreement, including, without limitation, any termination fees, breakage cost and/or any other amounts that would otherwise be payable had such Swap Agreement been terminated; and
In connection with the foregoing, Purchaser shall, promptly (and in any event not more than two (2) Business Days) after Seller’s or Lender’s request therefor: (A) comply with Lender’s requests for information under Section 49.1 above and (B) participate in telephone calls and, if required and upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice, personal face-to-face meetings to discuss and negotiate the matters referenced in Sections 49.1 and 49.2.
49.3 Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree as follows:
(a) If the Loan Assumption Condition is not satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date for any reason, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the Closing shall be consummated on the Closing Date; provided, however, in such event, the Purchase Price shall be Forty-Two Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($42,250,000). Seller shall be entitled to adjourn the Closing one or more times (but for not more than thirty (30) days in the aggregate) in order to satisfy the Loan Assumption Condition. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure of the Loan Assumption Condition to be satisfied shall not give rise to any remedy of any kind against Seller.
(b) In the event that the Loan Assumption Condition is satisfied and the Closing occurs hereunder, Purchaser shall be required to assume the Assumed Loan and execute the Loan Assumption Documents (and cause the substitute guarantor to execute such Loan Assumption Documents as are required by the Lender to be executed and delivered by such substitute guarantor) in the form agreed upon between Purchaser and Lender on or prior to the Closing Date.
