2. DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE; INDEPENDENT CONSIDERATION. Unless this Agreement terminates prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Holder, at Escrow Holder's office, by wire transfer, each as a deposit on account of the Purchase Price the following: (a) within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Contingency Period, the Initial Deposit (b) within two (2) Business Days after the completion of the IPO, the IPO Deposit.

Upon Escrow Holder's receipt of any portion of the Deposit, Escrow Holder shall place the same in a single interest-bearing account acceptable to Buyer. Interest earned on the Deposit shall be considered part of the Deposit. The Deposit (as and when paid to Escrow Holder) shall be held by Escrow Holder in accordance with this Agreement, and, if applicable, in accordance with Escrow Holder's standard form of escrow agreement which Buyer and Sellers agree to execute in addition to this Agreement. If the transactions contemplated hereby close as provided herein, the Deposit shall be paid to Sellers and shall be credited toward the Purchase Price (prorated in proportion to the allocation of the Purchase Price) and Buyer shall pay through escrow to Sellers the balance of the Purchase Price net of all prorations and other adjustments provided for in this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof or if the transactions do not close, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer or delivered to Sellers (prorated in proportion to the allocation of the Purchase Price) as otherwise specified in this Agreement. In the event that the completion of the IPO does not occur on or before September 30, 2014, Seller may at any time thereafter but prior to the completion of the IPO, by written notice to Buyer, terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall be delivered to and retained by Seller.
Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Buyer has delivered to the Escrow Holder, for delivery by the Escrow Holder to Sellers as further consideration for this Agreement, the sum of One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00) (the "Independent Contract Consideration"), which amount has been bargained for and agreed to as consideration for Sellers' execution and delivery of this Agreement. At Closing, the Independent Contract Consideration shall not be applied to the Purchase Price.
3. DELIVERY OF MATERIALS FOR REVIEW. On or before the date which is five (5) days after the Effective Date, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer at Buyer's address set forth inSection 2 above, the materials listed onExhibit B (collectively, the "Documents"), if any, which are in Sellers' possession, for Buyer's review. In the alternative, at Sellers' option and within the foregoing five (5) day period, Sellers may make the Documents which are in Sellers' possession available to Buyer on a secure web site, and in such event, Buyer agrees that any item to be delivered by Sellers under this Agreement shall be deemed delivered to the extent available to Buyer on such secured web site. Without limitation on the foregoing, Sellers shall make any other documents, files and information reasonably requested by Buyer concerning the Property and which are in Sellers’ possession or control available for Buyer’s inspection at Sellers’ general offices or such other location as shall be mutually convenient to the parties. Sellers make no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the Documents that were not prepared by any Seller.
4. CONTINGENCIES. Buyer's obligation under this Agreement to purchase the Property and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby is subject to and conditioned upon, among other things, the satisfaction or waiver by Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion and in the manner hereinafter provided, of each of the contingencies (individually, a "Contingency", and collectively, the "Contingencies") set forth in thisSection 4 in each case within the Contingency Period.
7 |
(a) Property Review. On or before the expiration of the Contingency Period, Sellers shall have given Buyer an opportunity to conduct its due diligence review, investigation and analysis of the Property (the "Due Diligence Review") independently or through agents of Buyer's own choosing, and Buyer shall have completed and shall be satisfied, in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion, with Buyer's Due Diligence Review, which may include, but shall not necessarily be limited to, Buyer's review, investigation and analysis of: (i) all of the Documents; (ii) the physical condition of the Property; (iii) the adequacy and availability at reasonable prices of all necessary utilities, including, without limitation, the services necessary to operate the Improvements for Buyer's intended use of the Property; (iv) the adequacy and suitability of applicable zoning and Approvals; (v) the Leases and the obligations from and to the tenants thereunder; (vi) market feasibility studies; and (vii) such tests and inspections of the Property as Buyer may deem necessary or desirable.
(b) Environmental Audit. On or before the expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer shall have completed to the satisfaction of Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, an environmental audit and assessment of the Real Property (the "Environmental Audit"), including but not limited to the performance of such tests and inspections as Buyer may deem necessary or desirable, subject to the terms and provisions hereof, in order to determine the presence or absence of any Hazardous Materials (as defined inSection 12(i) hereof).
(c) Tenant Estoppels. On or before the expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer shall have received an estoppel certificate substantially in the form attached hereto asExhibit C (a "Tenant Estoppel"), executed by each tenant under each of the Leases with respect to the status of such Lease, rent payments, tenant improvements, lease defaults and other matters relating to such Lease, and disclosing no defaults, disputes or other matters objectionable to Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion.
(d) Board Approval. On or before the expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer shall have obtained approval for the transaction contemplated by this Agreement from its Board of Directors ("Board Approval"). The failure of Buyer to obtain Board Approval shall in no event be used as the basis for contesting a claim by Seller that it is entitled to the Deposit following a default by Buyer or as a defense against any claim of indemnity by Seller.
The foregoing Due Diligence Review, Environmental Audit, Tenant Estoppel and Board Approval Contingencies are solely for Buyer's benefit and only Buyer may determine such Contingencies to be satisfied or waived in writing. Buyer shall have the Contingency Period in which to satisfy or waive such Contingencies by delivering written notice to Sellers with a copy to Escrow Holder. Each Contingency shall be deemed to have been satisfied or waived by Buyer unless prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers a written notice terminating this Agreement (a "Termination Notice"). If, at any time during the Contingency Period, Buyer determines in its sole and absolute discretion that a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment is necessary to determine whether the Contingencies have been satisfied, Buyer shall have the right to extend the Contingency Period for an additional thirty (30) days so that the Contingency Period will expire at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the date which is seventy-five (75) days after the Effective Date; Buyer may exercise this extension right by delivering written notice to Sellers on or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the Scheduled Contingency Expiration Date.
8 |
If Buyer delivers to Sellers a Termination Notice prior to the end of the Contingency Period, as it may be extended, then this Agreement shall terminate without the further action of any party. During the Contingency Period Buyer may elect not to purchase the Property for any reason or for no reason whatsoever, all in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion. Upon any such termination, Escrow Holder shall return the Deposit (if any) to Buyer and, except for those provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall have no further obligations hereunder.
With respect to the Existing Contracts only, prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, Buyer may furnish Sellers with a written notice of the contracts and agreements (the "Approved Contracts") which Buyer has elected to assume at the Closing. All Existing Contracts not included in any such notice shall be excluded from the Property to be conveyed to Buyer, and are herein collectively referred to as the "Rejected Contracts", and, if Buyer fails to deliver such notice, all Existing Contracts shall be deemed Rejected Contracts. Sellers shall at Sellers' sole cost and expense terminate on or before the Closing Date all Rejected Contracts and shall deliver to Buyer evidence satisfactory to Buyer of Sellers' termination on or prior to Closing of all Rejected Contracts. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Sellers agree to cause any existing property management agreements and any leasing listing agreements to be terminated effective as of the Closing Date and Sellers shall be solely responsible for any fees or payments due thereunder except that if, after the Effective Date (including periods after the Closing Date), (i) Buyer approves the expansion of the premises or renewal of the term of any of the Leases that are subject to the leasing listing agreements listed onExhibit P, Buyer shall pay the commissions that become due with respect to such renewal or expansion, and (ii) any current tenant renews its lease or expands its premises, Buyer shall pay the commissions that become due with respect to such renewal or expansion and shall assume Seller's listing agreements with respect to such commissions at Closing.
5. TITLE COMMITMENT; SURVEY; SEARCHES. Buyer's obligation to purchase the Property and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby shall also be subject to and conditioned upon Buyer's having approved the condition of title to the Property and surveys of the Real Property in the manner provided for in thisSection 5.
(a) Title Commitment. Within ten (10) days after the Effective Date, Sellers shall cause the Title Company to deliver commitments for each of the Parcels (collectively the "Title Commitments" and each a "Title Commitment") to Buyer for the Title Policies (as defined inSection 6 hereof), issued by the Title Company showing Seller as the owner of good and indefeasible fee simple title to the Real Property, together with legible copies of all documents ("Exception Documents") referred to in Schedule B of the Title Commitments.
(b) Survey. On or before the Effective Date, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer Sellers' existing ALTA/ACSM surveys of the Real Property, if any, and Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer to obtain an update of Sellers' existing surveys from surveyors licensed in the states where the Real Property is located, which shall be certified to Buyer, Title Company and Buyer's lender (if applicable) with a certification in accordance with the "Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys," jointly established and adopted by ALTA and NSPS in 2011 and including items 1, 2, 3, 4, 6(a), 6(b), 7(a), 7(b)(1), 7(c), 8, 9, 10, 11(a), 11(b), 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20 and 21 ($1,000,000.00 minimum) of Table A (collectively the "Surveys" and each a "Survey"). Sellers shall not be obligated to expend any funds with respect to the Surveys.
9 |
(c) Searches. Buyer may obtain current UCC, tax lien and judgment searches with respect to liens, security interests and adverse claims affecting Sellers or Sellers' interest in the Real Property and/or the Personal Property (collectively, "Searches").
(d) Permitted/Unpermitted Exceptions. Buyer shall have the right, until the date that is seven (7) days before the end of the Contingency Period, to object in writing ("Buyer's Exception Notice") to any title matters that are not Permitted Exceptions which are disclosed in the Title Commitments or Surveys (herein collectively called "Liens"). Unless Buyer shall timely object to the Liens, such Liens shall be deemed to constitute additional Permitted Exceptions. Any Liens which are timely objected to by Buyer shall be herein collectively called the "Title Objections." If, on or before two (2) Business Days before the end of the Contingency Period, Sellers fail to cause or covenant to Buyer in writing to remove or endorse over any Title Objections prior to the Closing in a manner satisfactory to Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion (Sellers having no obligation to agree to cure or correct any such Title Objections), Buyer may elect, prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period to either (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Sellers and , thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive such Title Objections, in which event such Title Objections shall be deemed additional "Permitted Exceptions" and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price. Buyer shall have the right to amend Buyer's Exception Notice ("Buyer's Amended Exception Notice") to object to any title matters that are not Permitted Exceptions which are disclosed in any supplemental reports or updates to the Title Commitments or Surveys delivered to Buyer after the end of the Contingency Period (which title matters were not reflected in the Title Commitments or Surveys provided to Buyer prior to the end of the Contingency Period) provided that Buyer objects to the same within five (5) days after Buyer's receipt of the applicable supplemental reports or updates to the Title Commitments or Surveys but in no event after Closing. If Sellers fail to take the action requested by Buyer in Buyer's Amended Exception Notice, Buyer may elect prior to Closing to proceed under either clause (a) or (b) of the sentence which precedes the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lien which is a financial encumbrance such as a mortgage, deed of trust, or other debt security, attachment, judgment, lien for delinquent real estate taxes and delinquent assessments, mechanic's or materialmen's lien, which is outstanding against the Property, or any part thereof, that is revealed or disclosed by the Title Commitment or any updates thereto and/or the Searches (herein such matters are referred to as "Financial Encumbrances") shall in no event be deemed a Permitted Exception, and Sellers hereby covenant to remove all Financial Encumbrances on or before the Closing Date.
(e) Approved Title and Survey. The condition of title as approved by Buyer in accordance with thisSection 5 is referred to herein as the "Approved Title" and the Surveys as approved by Buyer in accordance with thisSection 5 is referred to herein as the "Approved Survey".
10 |
6. DEED; TITLE POLICIES. Sellers shall convey the Real Property to Buyer by special warranty deeds in the form ofExhibit D-1 (with respect to any Property located in Ohio) andExhibit D-2 (with respect to any Property located in Tennessee) attached hereto (collectively, the "Deeds", and each a "Deed"). As a condition to Buyer's obligation to consummate the purchase of the Property and other transactions contemplated hereby, as of Closing the Title Company shall be unconditionally committed to issue to Buyer ALTA extended coverage Owner's Policies of Title Insurance for each of the Parcels in the amount of the Purchase Price allocable to each Parcel, dated effective as of the date the Deeds are recorded and insuring Buyer (or its nominee or assignee, if applicable) as the owner of good and indefeasible fee simple title to the Real Property, free from all Financial Encumbrances and subject to no exceptions other than Permitted Exceptions, together with such endorsements as required by Buyer in the Buyer's Exception Notice, all in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer in its sole discretion (the "Title Policies"). Buyer shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide such endorsements (or amendments) to the Title Policy as Buyer may require, provided that (a) such endorsements (or amendments) shall be at no cost to, and shall impose no additional liability on Sellers, except to the extent agreed to in writing by Sellers and (b) Buyer's obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditioned upon Buyer's ability to obtain such endorsements except to the extent the Title Company commits to their issuance prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period. Sellers shall deliver to the Title Company reasonable and customary instruments, documents, payments, indemnities, releases, evidence of authority and agreements relating to the issuance of the Title Policies based upon the requirements of Schedule B of the Title Commitments applicable to Sellers, including without limitation a no lien, gap and possession affidavits in a form reasonably acceptable to the Title Company (each an "Owner's Affidavit"), but in no event shall Sellers be obligated to execute or deliver any instrument, document, payment, indemnity, release or agreement for the purpose of eliminating any Permitted Exception as an exception to any Title Policy or which would have the practical effect of expanding the special warranty of title given by Sellers in the Deeds.
7. PRORATIONS. The following prorations shall be made between Sellers and Buyer on the Closing Date, computed with income and expenses for the Closing Date itself being allocated to Buyer:
(a) Rents Payable Under Leases. The word "Rents" as used herein shall be deemed to include, without limitation, (i) fixed monthly rents and other fixed charges payable by the tenants under the Leases, (ii), any amounts payable by the tenants by reason of provisions of the Leases relating to escalations and pass-throughs of operating expenses and taxes, and adjustments for increases in the Consumer Price Index and the like, (iii) any percentage rents payable by the tenants under the Leases, if any, and (iv) rents or other charges payable by the tenants under the Leases for services of any kind provided to them (including, without limitation, making of repairs and improvements, the furnishing of heat, electricity, gas, water, other utilities and air-conditioning) for which a separate charge is made.
11 |
Sellers shall collect and retain all Rents due and payable prior to the Closing and Buyer shall receive a credit for all such collected Rents allocable to the period from and after the Closing Date, in each case, to the extent such Rents are actually received by Sellers prior to the Closing Date. Rents collected subsequent to the Closing Date, net of costs of collection, if any, shall first be applied to such tenant's current Rent obligations and then to past due amounts in the reverse order in which they were due. Subject to the foregoing, any such Rents collected by Buyer shall, to the extent properly allocable to periods prior to the Closing, be paid, promptly after receipt, to the Sellers and any portion thereof properly allocable to periods from and after the Closing Date shall be retained by Buyer. The term "costs of collection" shall mean and include reasonable attorneys' fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in collecting any Rents.
Sellers shall not be permitted after the Closing Date to institute proceedings against any tenant to collect any past due Rents for periods prior to the Closing Date; provided that Buyer agrees for six months after Closing to bill tenants for such Rents and provided further that in no event shall Buyer be obligated to terminate a Lease or dispossess a tenant after Closing for failure to pay such Rents. If any past due Rents are not collected from the tenants owing such delinquent amounts, Buyer shall not be liable to Sellers for any such amounts.
Any advance or prepaid rental payments or deposits paid by tenants prior to the Closing Date and applicable to the period of time subsequent to the Closing Date and any security deposits or other amounts paid by tenants, together with any interest on both thereof to the extent such interest is due to tenants shall be credited to Buyer on the Closing Date. Sellers shall not apply any security deposits between the Effective Date and Closing without Buyer’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.
No credit shall be given either party for accrued and unpaid Rent or any other non-current sums due from the tenants until said sums are paid. In addition, if as of the Closing Date there exists any rebate, rental concession, free-rent period, credit, setoff or rent reduction under or with respect to any Lease which extends beyond the Closing Date, then the prorations in favor of Buyer hereunder shall include an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all such rebates, rental concessions, free-rent periods, credits, setoffs or rent reductions applicable to any period or periods after the Closing Date. If the Closing occurs during the Base Rent abatement period of the lease with Electronic Imaging Services, Inc. (8273 Green Meadows Parcel), Base Rent for such Lease shall not be prorated nor shall Buyer be entitled to any credit for the portion of the Base Rent abatement period that occurs after the Closing.
(b) Rent Adjustments. Pending final adjustments and prorations, as provided inSection 7(a) above, to the extent that any additional rent, adjustment rent or escalation payments, if any, including, without limitation, estimated payments for Taxes (as defined below), insurance, utilities (to the extent not paid directly by tenants), common area maintenance and other operating costs and expenses (collectively, "Operating Costs") in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Real Property, are paid by tenants to the landlord under the Leases based on an estimated payment basis (monthly, quarterly, or otherwise) for which a future reconciliation of actual Operating Costs to estimated payments is required to be performed at the end of a reconciliation period, Buyer and Sellers shall make an adjustment at Closing for the applicable reconciliation period (or periods, if the Leases do not
12 |
have a common reconciliation period) based on a comparison of the actual Operating Costs to the estimated payments at and as of Closing. If, as of Closing, Sellers have received additional rent, adjustment rent or escalation payments in excess of the amount that tenants will be required to pay, based on the actual Operating Costs as of Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit in the amount of such excess. If, as of Closing, Sellers have received additional rent, adjustment rent or escalation payments that are less than the amount that tenants would be required to pay based on the actual Operating Costs as of Closing, Sellers shall receive the same from Buyer following Closing but only after Buyer collects the same from the applicable tenants. Operating Costs that are not payable by tenants either directly or reimbursable under the Leases shall be prorated between Sellers and Buyer and shall be reasonably estimated by the parties if final bills are not available.
(c) Taxes and Assessments. With respect to each Parcel, real estate taxes and special assessments, if any, assessed against the Property ("Taxes") for the tax year in which the Closing occurs (the "Closing Tax Year") shall be prorated as follows: Buyer shall receive a credit for Taxes not paid for the Closing Tax Year prorated based on the number of days of Sellers' ownership of the Property in the Closing Tax Year through the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, all as and to the extent that Sellers have not yet paid the relevant bill therefor; and Sellers shall receive a credit for Taxes paid by or on behalf of Sellers in the Closing Tax Year to the relevant taxing authority prior to Closing, prorated based on the period of Buyer's ownership of the Property in the Closing Tax Year. If bills for any Taxes payable in the applicable Closing Tax Year are unavailable on the Closing Date, such taxes will be pro-rated based upon 100% of the tax applicable for the previous tax period. Subject to reconciliation as provided inSection 7(b) above, Sellers shall retain all amounts paid or payable by tenants under the Leases on account of Taxes for the period prior to Closing, and Buyer shall be entitled to amounts paid by tenants under the Leases on account of Taxes for the period after Closing.
(d) Utilities. Charges attributable to the Property for utilities and fuel, including, without limitation, steam, water, electricity, gas and oil, except to the extent paid directly by the tenants, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.
(e) Other Prorations. Charges payable under the Approved Contracts assigned to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. Buyer shall also receive a credit equal to any past due payments (including interest or penalties due) from Sellers to any of the other parties to the Approved Contracts.
Sellers and Buyer agree that (1) none of the insurance policies relating to the Property will be assigned to Buyer (and Sellers shall pay any cancellation fees resulting from the termination of such policies), and (2) no employees of Sellers performing services at the Property shall be employed by Buyer. Accordingly, there will be no prorations for insurance premiums or payroll, and Sellers shall be liable for all premiums and payroll expenses in connection with the foregoing.
If any Seller has made any deposit with any utility company or local authority in connection with services to be provided to the Property, such deposits shall, if Buyer so requests and if assignable, be assigned to Buyer at the Closing and Sellers shall receive a credit equal to the amounts so assigned. Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer to transfer all utility services to Buyer at Closing.

In no event shall any costs of the operation or maintenance of the Property incurred prior to the Closing be borne by Buyer or any costs of the operation or maintenance of the Property incurred following the Closing be borne by Sellers, except costs arising under any Rejected Contracts.
Buyer shall be responsible for all Tenant Inducement Costs for or related to all new Leases (i.e., including, without limitation, any amendment to an existing Lease) signed after the Effective Date with Buyer's prior written consent. Sellers shall have no responsibility, whatsoever, with respect to any Tenant Inducement Costs for which Buyer is expressly responsible under this paragraph (and to the extent Sellers have paid any such Tenant Inducement Costs described in this paragraph at any time following the Effective Date of this Agreement and prior to Closing, Sellers shall receive a proration credit therefor at Closing). Except for the specific Tenant Inducement Costs which Buyer is responsible for under this paragraph, Buyer shall receive at the Closing a credit toward the Purchase Price equal to all unpaid and outstanding Tenant Inducement Costs under all Leases.
The prorations and credits provided for in this Section 7 shall be made on the basis of a written statement prepared by Sellers and approved by Buyer. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers, or Escrow Holder using information provided by Sellers, shall provide Buyer with a preliminary proration and closing statement, together with backup documentation substantiating the prorations provided for and the calculations performed, in order that Buyer may verify Sellers' methods and calculations. In the event any prorations made pursuant hereto shall prove incorrect for any reason whatsoever, either party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same provided that it makes written demand on the other within 12 months after the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the Closing.
8. CLOSING.

BUYER AND SELLERS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO A BUYER DEFAULT (ALL OF THE CONDITIONS TO BUYER'S OBLIGATIONS TO CLOSE HAVING BEEN SATISFIED OR WAIVED), SELLERS WILL SUFFER DAMAGES IN AN AMOUNT WHICH WILL, DUE TO THE SPECIAL NATURE OF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SPECIAL NATURE OF THE NEGOTIATIONS WHICH PRECEDED THIS AGREEMENT, BE IMPRACTICAL OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN. IN ADDITION, BUYER WISHES TO HAVE A LIMITATION PLACED UPON THE POTENTIAL LIABILITY OF BUYER TO SELLERS IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO A BUYER DEFAULT, AND WISHES TO INDUCE SELLERS TO WAIVE OTHER REMEDIES WHICH SELLERS MAY HAVE IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A BUYER DEFAULT. BUYER AND SELLERS, AFTER DUE NEGOTIATION, HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT PLUS THE AMOUNT OF ANY DEPOSIT THAT BUYER IS OBLIGATED TO MAKE, BUT HAS NOT MADE, REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLERS WILL SUSTAIN IN THE EVENT OF SUCH BUYER DEFAULT. BUYER AND SELLERS HEREBY AGREE THAT SELLERS MAY, IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO A BUYER DEFAULT (ALL OF THE CONDITIONS TO BUYER'S OBLIGATIONS TO CLOSE HAVING BEEN SATISFIED OR WAIVED), AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND CANCEL THE ESCROW BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO BUYER AND ESCROW HOLDER, WHEREUPON ESCROW HOLDER SHALL DELIVER THE DEPOSIT TO SELLERS AND SELLERS SHALL RECEIVE THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR SUCH DEFAULT AND SELLERS WAIVE ALL OTHER REMEDIES EXCEPT THAT SELLERS DO NOT WAIVE THE RIGHT TO ENFORCE A CLAIM AGAINST BUYER FOR THE AMOUNT OF ANY DEPOSIT THAT SELLER IS, BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OBLIGATED TO MAKE, BUT HAS NOT MADE. SUCH RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT BY SELLERS AND RIGHT TO ENFORCE SELLER’S OBLIGATION TO MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL DEPOSIT ARE INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLERS AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY. FOLLOWING TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, CANCELLATION OF THE ESCROW AND THE DELIVERY TO AND RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT BY SELLERS AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PURSUANT TO THISSECTION 11(a), ALL OF THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF BUYER AND SELLERS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE TERMINATED SUBJECT TO SURVIVAL OF SUCH OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER AS SURVIVE SUCH TERMINATION.
(b) Buyer's Remedies. In the event of a default by Sellers under this Agreement, Buyer may, at its option and as its sole and exclusive remedy, either (i) terminate this Agreement in which case the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer and Buyer shall be entitled to reimbursement from Sellers for all of Buyer's out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and Due Diligence Review not to exceed $75,000.00 in the aggregate, or (ii) specifically enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement (any lawsuit for specific performance must be filed within forty-five (45) days of the claimed breach by Seller or shall be deemed to be irrevocably waived by Buyer).
19 |
(c) Aggregate Liability. Without limiting Buyer's specific performance remedy underSection 11(b), Sellers' aggregate liability to Buyer under this Agreement after the Closing as a result of a breach of any representation or warranty or any other covenant or indemnity made by any Seller shall in no event collectively exceed One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), in the aggregate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitation of Sellers' liability set forth in thisSection 11(c) shall not apply to any liabilities or obligations of Sellers underSections 7,10,21 and28, or any Seller liability for fraud or intentional misrepresentation on the part of any Seller. Purchaser shall not be entitled to make any claim for any matters that are subject to the forgoing $1,000,000.00 limitation unless the aggregate of all such claims (as finally determined) exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000).
(d) Limitation on Sellers' Liability. In addition to the limitation set forth inSection 16 below, in the event that, on or before Closing, Buyer has actual knowledge, through its Due Diligence Review or otherwise, that any of the representations or warranties made by Sellers under this Agreement were not true or correct when made or that any Seller has breached a covenant hereunder, and if Buyer nevertheless closes the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any such representation and warranty or covenant breach (as applicable) and shall have no further claim against Sellers with respect thereto.
(e) Guaranty. At Closing, Sellers shall cause Guarantor to deliver a guaranty (the "Parent Guaranty") to Buyer in the form ofExhibit O attached hereto.

14. ACTIONS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE. The parties covenant to do the following through the Closing Date:
(a) Title. Except as otherwise specifically contemplated in this Agreement or as may be required by legal requirements, and without limiting any rights that tenants may have under their Leases, from and after the Effective Date, Sellers shall not make or permit any changes to the Property or to the condition of title to the Property that would change the Approved Title or the Approved Survey except with Buyer's advance written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period but may be withheld in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion after the expiration of the Contingency Period.
(b) Maintenance and Operation of Property. From and after the Effective Date, Sellers shall maintain existing insurance coverage in full force and effect, and shall operate and maintain the Property in substantially the same manner as operated and maintained as of the Effective Date, in accordance with its customary practices, and shall pay all bills and obligations arising from the Property as payment becomes due. Sellers shall not make any material alterations to or upon the Property or remove any of the Personal Property therefrom, except with Buyer's advance written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lease requires a Seller to make a material alteration upon the Property or to remove certain Personal Property and the Lease requires that such alteration or removal be completed on or before the Closing Date, the applicable Seller may perform such alteration or removal without Buyer’s consent provided that Seller delivers Buyer written notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to such performance. Additionally, Sellers shall promptly advise Buyer in writing of any other significant repair or improvement required to keep the Property in the condition required hereunder.
25 |
(c) Leases and Agreements. From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall provide Buyer five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice before entering into (i) any new leases or other occupancy agreements for the Property, (ii) any agreement to terminate or amend the Leases or Approved Contracts (if any) or (iii) any other agreement concerning the Property. In each case, Seller’s notice to Buyer shall include all documents to be executed in connection therewith and a reasonably detailed written summary of all of the material terms the proposed transaction along with an itemized list of any Tenant Inducement Costs which will be incurred in connection with the proposed transaction. From and after the expiration of the Contingency Period, Sellers shall not enter into any new leases or other occupancy agreements for the Property without first obtaining Buyer's advance written consent which may be withheld in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion after the expiration of the Contingency Period. From and after the expiration of the Contingency Period, Sellers shall not terminate or amend any of the Leases or Approved Contracts or any other agreement concerning the Property, without Buyer's advance written consent, which consent may be withheld in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion after the expiration of the Contingency Period, and Sellers shall continue to perform all of its obligations under the Leases and Approved Contracts.
If Sellers request Buyer's consent to any new lease or other occupancy agreement or amendment to any existing Lease, Sellers shall be required to provide Buyer with a detailed written summary of all of the material terms the proposed transaction along with an itemized list of all Tenant Inducement Costs which will be incurred in connection with the proposed transaction. Buyer shall give Sellers written notice of approval or disapproval of a proposed new lease or other occupancy agreement or amendment to any existing Lease within ten (10) days after Buyer's receipt of the items described above. If Buyer does not respond to Sellers' request within such time period, then Buyer will be deemed to have disapproved such new lease or other occupancy agreement or amendment to any existing Lease.
(d) Representations and Warranties. Each party shall use reasonable efforts to prevent any act or omission that would render any of its representations and warranties herein untrue or misleading, and shall immediately notify the other party in writing if such act or omission occurs.
(e) Entry. As of the Effective Date, during normal business hours prior to the Closing, and subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases, Buyer and its agents, employees and contractors (collectively, "Permittees") shall have reasonable access to the Property at agreed upon times for agreed upon purposes on at least forty-eight (48) hours prior notice to Sellers. Sellers shall have the right to have a representative present during any visits to or inspections of the Property by Buyer or any Permittees. Buyer will conduct its Due Diligence Review in a manner which is not disruptive to tenants or the normal operation of the Property. In the event Buyer desires to conduct any physically intrusive inspections, such as sampling of soils, other media, building materials, or the like, Buyer will identify in writing exactly what procedures Buyer desires to perform and request Sellers' advance written consent, which consent may be withheld in Sellers' reasonable discretion. Buyer will: (a) maintain commercial general liability (occurrence) insurance (at least $2,000,000), and deliver a certificate of insurance, which names the applicable Seller as an additional insured thereunder verifying such coverage to Sellers promptly upon Sellers' request; (b) promptly pay when due the costs of all entry and inspections and examinations done with regard to the Property; and (c) to the extent damaged by Buyer or its Permittee's, restore the Property and Improvements to substantially the condition in which the same were found before any such entry upon the Property and inspection or examination was undertaken.
26 |
In addition, Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sellers from and against all losses, costs, damages, claims and liabilities arising out of injury or death to persons, damage to the Property or mechanics' liens arising out of or in connection with Buyer's Due Diligence Review, Buyer's breach of its obligations under thisSection 14(e) or Buyer's or any Permittees entry upon the Property unless arising from any pre-existing conditions on the Property or the negligence or willful misconduct of Sellers, Sellers' managers, officers, partners, shareholders or members, as applicable. The provisions of thisSection 14(e) shall survive the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or Closing for a period of 6 months.
(f) Applications. Following the Effective Date, no Seller shall make application to any governmental entity for any Approvals or any change in the zoning, affecting the Real Property, except in each case with Buyer's advance written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.
15. DAMAGE TO PROPERTY; TAKING.
(a) Taking. If the Property or any part thereof is taken or is the subject of a notice of taking by eminent domain prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall promptly notify Buyer. Within ten (10) Business Days after such notice, Buyer shall give notice to Sellers (with a copy to Escrow Holder) that it elects to (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event Escrow Holder shall, upon receipt of Buyer's Notice to terminate this Agreement, return the Deposit to Buyer and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder (except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement), or (b) proceed to Closing, in which event Sellers shall pay over and assign to Buyer all awards recovered or recoverable on account of such taking, net of any reasonable costs incurred by Sellers in connection therewith. If Buyer elects to proceed under clause (b) above, Sellers shall not compromise, settle, or adjust any claims to such awards without Buyer's prior written consent.
(b) Damage. Risk of loss up to and including the Closing Date shall be borne by Sellers except as expressly set forth herein. In the event of any material damage to or destruction of the Property or any portion thereof, Buyer may, at its option, by notice to Sellers (with a copy to Escrow Holder) given within ten (10) Business Days after Sellers notify Buyer in writing of such damage or destruction (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Buyer the full 10-day period to make such election): (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event Escrow Holder shall, upon receipt of Buyer's notice to terminate this Agreement, return the Deposit to Buyer and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder (except the indemnity obligations of each party, which shall survive indefinitely and any other obligations set forth herein which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement), or (ii) proceed under this Agreement with no adjustment of the Purchase Price, receive any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Sellers as a result of such damage or destruction and assume responsibility for such repair, and Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under said insurance policies and any uninsured or underinsured loss. If Buyer elects (ii) above, Sellers will cooperate with Buyer in obtaining the insurance proceeds and such agreements from Sellers' insurers. If the Property is damaged, but not materially damaged, then the parties shall proceed to Closing as provided in clause (ii) above. "Material damage" and "Materially damaged" means damage (w) resulting in the Property not complying with all legal requirements applicable to the Property, (x) reasonably exceeding $200,000 or (y) that entitles any tenant of the Property to terminate its Lease, or (z) which, in Buyer's or Sellers' reasonable estimation, will take longer than 90 days to repair.
27 |
(c) Waiver. Failure of Buyer to timely provide a notice of election in accordance with thisSection 15, shall be deemed an election by Buyer to terminate this Agreement. Sellers and Buyer each hereby agree that the provisions of thisSection 15 shall govern the parties' obligations in the event of any damage or destruction to the Property or the taking of all or any part of the Real Property and expressly waive any provision of applicable law to the contrary.

Any covenants and conditions herein that must be operative after recordation of the Deeds to be effective shall be so operative and shall not be deemed to have been merged in the Deeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, within such nine (9) month period and , Buyer delivers written notice of any legal claim(s) to Sellers, the nine (9) month period shall be extended with respect to such claim(s) until the earlier of (i) payment of such legal claim(s), (ii) final judgment issued by a court of competent jurisdiction regarding the legal claim(s) after all appeals periods have expired or (iii) mutual agreement of Buyer and Sellers and settlement of such legal claims(s).

Sellers shall not have the right, power, or authority to assign, pledge or mortgage this Agreement or any portion of this Agreement, or to delegate any duties or obligations arising under this Agreement, voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law.

(3) Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or to take advantage of (a) any right to require Buyer to proceed against or exhaust its recourse against Seller or any security for the performance of Seller’s obligations, (b) presentment, demand for payment, protest, or notice of acceptance of the Agreement, (c) all notice of nonperformance, nonpayment or nonobservance on the part of Seller of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Agreement, (d) notice or right to consent to any amendments to the Agreement or any of the documents to be executed and delivered by Seller at Closing, (e) any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to Seller, (f) any right of setoff or compensation against amounts due under this Guaranty, or (g) the right to interpose all substantive and procedural defenses of the law of guaranty, indemnification and suretyship.
(4) Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows:
(a) as of the date hereof, it directly or indirectly has invested in or controls Seller;
(b) based upon such relationship, Guarantor has determined that it is in its best interest to enter into this Guaranty;
(c) the benefits expected to be derived by Guarantor from its direct or indirect investment in Seller and from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement are at least equal to the obligations undertaken by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty; and
(d) this Guaranty has been duly executed by Guarantor and constitutes Guarantor's legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms.
(5) Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that Buyer may at any time, and from time to time, without notice to or further consent from Guarantor, whether with or without consideration, modify the terms of the Agreement or take or fail to take any action of any type whatsoever. No such action which Buyer shall take or fail to take in connection with the Agreement or any security for the payment of the indebtedness of Seller to Buyer or for the performance of any obligations or undertakings of Seller, nor any course of dealing with Seller or any other person, shall release Guarantor's obligations hereunder, affect this Guaranty in any way or afford Guarantor any recourse against Buyer.
(6) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be deemed to have been waived, released, discharged, impaired or affected by reason of any waiver or failure to enforce any of the obligations of Seller against Seller under the Agreement or any discharge of Seller in any receivership, bankruptcy, winding-up or other creditors' proceedings or the rejection, disaffirmance or disclaimer of the Agreement by any party in any action or proceeding, and shall continue with respect to the periods prior thereto and thereafter. Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment under the Agreement is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Buyer on the bankruptcy or reorganization of Seller.
(7) This Guaranty shall be one of payment and not of collection. All of the terms, agreements and conditions of this Guaranty shall extend to and be binding upon Guarantor and its successors (however, Guarantor may not assign its obligations under this Guaranty in whole or in part), and shall inure to the benefit of and may be enforced by Buyer and its successors and assigns.
(8) Any indebtedness of Seller now or hereafter held by Guarantor, including but not limited to any right to reimbursement of amounts paid by Guarantor hereunder, is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness of Seller and Guarantor to Buyer.
(9) Each provision of this Guaranty shall be enforceable to the maximum extent not prohibited by law. If any provision or its application to any person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected. This Guaranty contains the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements relating to such subject matter and cannot be amended or supplemented, except by a written agreement signed by the parties hereto. This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts which together shall constitute the same instrument. This Guaranty shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws, and not the law of conflicts, of the State of New York.
(10) All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder will be in writing, and will be given by (a) certified mail, return receipt requested, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered three (3) Business Days after deposit, postage prepaid in the U.S. mail, (b) a nationally recognized and reputable messenger service or overnight courier, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered one (1) Business Day after deposit with such messenger or courier on or prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time (if deposited after such time, notice shall be deemed given upon receipt of the notice by the addressee), (c) electronic mail, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered as of the date and time that transmission to recipient was completed or (d) personal delivery with receipt acknowledged in writing, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered when received. The address of Buyer is as set forth for Buyer in the Agreement, and the address for Guarantor is in care of Seller, as set forth in the Agreement.
(11) In the event of any action or proceeding at law or in equity between Buyer and Guarantor, the prevailing party, in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, shall be entitled to recover from the unsuccessful party all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred in such action or proceeding and in any appeal in connection therewith by such prevailing party.
(12) Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall survive for a period of nine (9) months after the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, within such nine (9) month period, Buyer delivers written notice of a claim(s) to Seller, the nine (9) month period shall be extended with respect to such claim(s) until the earlier of (i) payment of such claim(s), (ii) final judgment issued by a court of competent jurisdiction regarding the claim(s) after all appeal periods have expired, or (iii) mutual agreement of Purchaser and Seller and settlement of such claim(s).
