THIS CONTRACT OF PURCHASE AND SALE (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 19, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), by and between GREENHOUSE OFFICE INVESTORS I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company having an address c/o JP Morgan Investment Management Inc., 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017 (“Seller”) and KBS CAPITAL ADVISORS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, having an address at 800 Newport Center Drive, Suite 700, Newport Beach, California 92660 (“Purchaser”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
A.Seller shall sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, at the price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, (a) that certain parcel of land commonly known as 19219 Katy Freeway, Houston, Texas, and more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Land”), (b) the buildings, improvements, and structures located on and in the Land (collectively, the “Improvements”), (c) all other easements and rights appurtenant to the Land, if any (collectively, the “Appurtenant Rights”, and together with the Land and the Improvements, the “Real Property”), (d) all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Leases (as hereinafter defined), and, to the extent assignable, the Contracts (as hereinafter defined), (e) all right, title and interest of Seller, if any, in and to the fixtures, equipment and other tangible personal property owned by Seller and, located on, and used exclusively in connection with, the Real Property (collectively, the “Personal Property”), including, without limitation, those items listed on the attached Exhibit B, and (f) to the extent assignable without consent or payment of any kind, all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under any governmental permits, licenses and approvals, warranties and guarantees that Seller has received in connection with any work or services performed with respect to, or equipment installed in, the Improvements (collectively, the “Intangible Property”, and together with the Real Property, the Leases, the Contracts, the Personal Property and the Intangible Property, collectively, the “Property”).
B. Purchaser acknowledges that the Property is being sold on an “AS IS” “WHERE IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” basis on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, for $10.00 in hand paid and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.Purchase and Sale. Upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Seller shall sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, the Property.
2. Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Property shall be the sum of Forty Seven Million Dollars ($47,000,000.00).
3. Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller by Purchaser as follows:
3.1.1 Initial Deposit. Within three (3) Business Days (as hereinafter defined) after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit with Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, at its offices at 4100 Newport Place Drive, Suite 120, Newport Beach, CA 92660, Attention: Joy Eaton (Tel. (949) 724-3145, email: joyeaton@cltic.com) (in its capacity as escrow agent, “Escrowee”), by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated by Escrowee (the “Escrow Account”), the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (together with all interest thereon, but excluding the Independent Consideration (as hereinafter defined), the “Initial Deposit”), which Initial Deposit shall be held by Escrowee pursuant to the escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) attached hereto as Exhibit Q and hereby made a part hereof. If Purchaser shall fail to deposit the Initial Deposit with Escrowee within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, at Seller’s election, this Agreement shall be null, void ab initio and of no force or effect.
3.1.2 Additional Deposit. Within one (1) Business Day after the Due Diligence Period (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser shall deposit with Escrowee, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the Escrow Account, the sum of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) (together with all interest thereon, the “Additional Deposit”; the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit, collectively, the “Deposit”), which Additional Deposit shall be held by Escrowee in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement. If Purchaser shall timely deliver an Asset Approval Notice (as hereinafter defined) but shall fail to deposit the Additional Deposit prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Escrowee shall promptly following the fifth (5th) Business Day after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period return the Initial Deposit to Purchaser (provided, however, that if Seller has notified Purchaser in writing that Purchaser is in breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement (a “Pre-Closing Breach”), Escrowee shall release the Initial Deposit to Purchaser, less any amounts Seller notifies Purchaser and Escrowee in writing (which notification must be given no more than five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period) that Escrowee needs to holdback to cover any loss estimated by Seller to have occurred as a result of Purchaser’s Pre-Closing Breach (“Pre-Closing Breach Amount”), which Pre-Closing Breach Amount shall be held by Escrowee until such time as either (x) Purchaser and Seller reach an agreement and jointly notify Escrowee in writing as to the amount Seller is owed for Purchaser’s Pre-Closing Breach, and the remaining amount, if any, to be released to Purchaser, or (y) the Purchaser’s Pre-Closing Breach has been fully adjudicated and Escrowee receives a final judgment, order, ruling or injunction issued by a court of competent jurisdiction), and this Agreement shall be automatically deemed terminated and Seller and Purchaser shall be released from further obligation or liability hereunder (except for those obligations and liabilities which, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, survive such termination). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, the failure of Seller to assert a Pre-Closing Breach prior to the expiration of the five (5) Business Day period following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period provided for herein shall not in any way constitute a waiver of Seller’s rights to subsequently assert the existence of such Pre-Closing Breach.
3.2 Independent Consideration. A portion of the amount deposited by Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.1.1, in the amount of One Hundred Dollars ($100) (the “Independent Consideration”) shall be earned by Seller upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller and Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser hereby mutually acknowledge and agree that the
Independent Consideration represents adequate bargained for consideration for Seller’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and Purchaser’s right to have inspected the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Independent Consideration is in addition to and independent of any other consideration or payment provided for in this Agreement and is nonrefundable in all events. Upon the Closing (as hereinafter defined) or the termination of this Agreement, the Independent Consideration shall be paid to Seller.
3.3 Closing Payment. Provided that all conditions precedent expressly set forth in this Agreement to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder have been satisfied or waived by Purchaser, the Purchase Price, as adjusted by the application of the Deposit and by the prorations and credits specified herein, shall be (i) deposited by Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account or accounts designated by Escrowee and (ii) paid by Escrowee to Seller on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller on the Closing Date (the amount being paid under this Section 3.3 being herein called the “Closing Payment”).
4. Title Matters; Due Diligence Review; Estoppel Certificates; Conditions Precedent.
4.1 Title Matters.
4.1.1 Title to the Property.
(a) As a condition to the Closing, Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, at its offices at 801 Figueroa Street, Suite 870, Los Angeles, CA 90017, Attention: Anthony Behrstock (Tel. (213) 330-2333, email: tbehrstock@cltic.com) (in its capacity as title insurer, the “Title Company”) shall have committed to insure Purchaser as the fee owner of the Real Property in the amount of the Purchase Price by issuance of a standard Texas form (T-1) owner’s title insurance policy issued by the Title Company in the State of Texas, exclusive of any endorsement thereto (the “Owner’s Policy”), subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined). It is understood that Purchaser may request extended coverage and a number of endorsements to the Owner’s Policy. Purchaser shall satisfy itself prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period that the Title Company will be willing to issue such extended coverage and endorsements at Closing; however, the issuance of such extended coverage and endorsements shall not be conditions to Closing for Purchaser’s benefit.
(b) Purchaser has ordered prior to the date hereof, (i) a commitment from the Title Company for an owner’s fee title insurance policy or policies with respect to the Real Property (the “Title Commitment”) together with copies of each of the title exceptions noted therein, together with true, legible and complete copies of all instruments giving rise to any defects or exceptions to title to the Real Property, and (ii) a survey of the Real Property prepared by a surveyor registered in the State of Texas, certified by said surveyor to Purchaser and Seller as having been prepared in accordance with the minimum detail requirements of the ALTA land survey requirements (the “Survey”). If any exceptions(s) to title to the Real Property should appear in the Title Commitment other than the Permitted Exceptions (such exception(s) being herein called, collectively, the “Unpermitted Exceptions”), subject to which Purchaser is unwilling to accept title, Purchaser shall provide Seller with written notice (the “Title Objection
Notice”) thereof on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE. Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, may undertake to eliminate the same subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.1. Purchaser hereby waives any right Purchaser may have to advance, as objections to title or as grounds for Purchaser’s refusal to close this transaction, any Unpermitted Exception of which Purchaser does not notify Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period unless (i) such Unpermitted Exception was first disclosed to Purchaser after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and (ii) Purchaser shall notify Seller of the same within five (5) Business Days following disclosure of such Unpermitted Exception to Purchaser (failure to so notify Seller shall be deemed to be a waiver by Purchaser of its right to raise such Unpermitted Exception as an objection to title or as a ground for Purchaser’s refusal to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to adjourn the Closing for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) Business Days, provided that Seller shall notify Purchaser, in writing, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Seller of the Title Objection Notice, whether or not they will endeavor to eliminate such Unpermitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall not under any circumstance be required or obligated to cause the cure or removal of any Unpermitted Exception including, without limitation, to bring any action or proceeding, to make any payments or otherwise to incur any expense in order to eliminate any Unpermitted Exception or to arrange for title insurance insuring against enforcement of such Unpermitted Exception against, or collection of the same out of, the Real Property, notwithstanding that Seller may have attempted to do so, or may have adjourned the Scheduled Closing Date for such purpose; provided, however, Seller shall (x) satisfy any mortgage or deed of trust placed on the Real Property by Seller or expressly assumed by Seller, and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the removal (by bonding or otherwise) of other monetary liens encumbering the Real Property which are of an ascertainable amount and do not exceed Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000), in the aggregate, and are not the responsibility of any tenant of the Property.
(c) In the event that Seller is unable, or elect not, to eliminate all Unpermitted Exceptions in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.1.1, or to arrange for title insurance, without special premium to Purchaser, insuring against enforcement of such Unpermitted Exceptions against, or collection of the same out of, the Real Property, and to convey title to the Real Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or before the Scheduled Closing Date (whether or not the Scheduled Closing Date is adjourned as provided in Section 4.1.1(b)), Seller shall notify Purchaser that it elects not to remove the same, in which event Purchaser shall have the right, as its sole remedy for such election of Seller, by delivery of written notice to Seller within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice from Seller of its election not to remove such Unpermitted Exceptions, to either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Seller (in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and no party hereto shall have any further obligations in connection herewith except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that if Seller has notified Purchaser of the existence of a Pre-Closing Breach in the manner provided by Section 3.1.2 of this Agreement, Escrowee shall release the Deposit to Purchaser, less the Pre-Closing Breach Amount, which Pre-Closing Breach Amount shall be held by Escrowee until the same is to be released as and in the manner provided by Section 3.1.2 of this Agreement), or
(ii) accept title to the Property subject to such Unpermitted Exception(s) without a reduction in, abatement of, or credit against, the Purchase Price. The failure of Purchaser to deliver timely any written notice of election under this Section 4.1.1(c) shall be conclusively deemed to be an election under clause (ii) above.
(d) If, on the Closing Date, there are any liens or encumbrances that Seller is obligated to discharge or satisfy under this Agreement, Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation), as to liens and/or encumbrances of an ascertainable amount not to exceed, $25,000, in the aggregate, to either (i) arrange, at Seller’s cost and expense, for affirmative title insurance or special endorsements reasonably acceptable to Purchaser insuring against enforcement of such liens or encumbrances against, or collection of the same out of, the Real Property, or (ii) use any portion of the Purchase Price to pay and discharge the same, either by way of payment or by alternative manner reasonably satisfactory to the Title Company, and the same shall not be deemed to be Unpermitted Exceptions.
4.1.2 Permitted Exceptions to Title. The Real Property shall be sold and conveyed subject to the following exceptions to title (the “Permitted Exceptions”):
(a) any state of facts that an accurate survey may show;
(b) all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of the United States, the State of Texas, or any agency, department, commission, bureau or instrumentality of any of the foregoing having jurisdiction over the Real Property (each, a “Governmental Authority”), as the same may now exist or may be hereafter modified, supplemented or promulgated;
(c) all presently existing and future liens of real estate taxes or assessments and water rates, water meter charges, water frontage charges and sewer taxes, rents and charges, if any, provided that such items are not yet due and payable and are apportioned as provided in this Agreement;
(d) any other matter or thing affecting title to the Property that Purchaser shall have agreed or be deemed to have agreed to waive as an Unpermitted Exception;
(e) all violations of laws, ordinances, orders, requirements or regulations of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Property and existing on the Closing Date, whether or not noted in the records of or issued by any Governmental Authority;
(f) all utility easements of record which do not interfere with the present use of the Property;
(g) the printed exceptions which appear in the Texas standard form (Form T-1) owner’s policy of title insurance issued by the Title Company in the State of Texas, but expressly excluding (i) those that could be omitted by virtue of the delivery of the Title Certificate (as hereinafter defined), and (ii) those that make reference to any labor or material liens for work performed by or on behalf of Owner;
(h) rights of the tenants, as tenants only with no rights of first refusal or options to purchase all or any portion of the Real Property, under a Lease either identified in the Lease Exhibit (as hereinafter defined) or entered into after the Effective Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and
(i) any lien(s) which are the responsibility of any tenant at the Real Property pursuant to the terms of such tenant’s Lease, provided the cost to cure, correct or remove same does not exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate.
4.2 Due Diligence Reviews.
4.2.1 Except for matters governed by the provisions of Section 4.1 above, Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on September 22, 2016, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE (the period of time commencing upon the Effective Date and continuing through and including such time on such date being herein called the “Due Diligence Period”) within which to perform and complete all of Purchaser’s due diligence examinations, reviews and inspections of all matters pertaining to the purchase of the Property, including, without limitation, all leases and service contracts, and all physical, environmental and compliance matters and conditions respecting the Property (collectively, the “Investigations”), which Investigations shall at all times be subject to Purchaser’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.2; provided, however, that so long as this Agreement has not been terminated, Purchaser shall continue to have access to the Real Property at all reasonable times during normal business hours subsequent to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and prior to Closing so long as Purchaser complies with each of the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 4.2 relating to such entry and inspection. Seller shall provide Purchaser with reasonable access to the Property upon reasonable advance notice, shall endeavor to make the property manager of the Property available for an interview by Purchaser, and shall also promptly make available to Purchaser to the extent not already provided, through an internet database or email delivery, access to electronic copies of such leases, service contracts, and other contracts and agreements with respect to the Property in Seller’s possession as Purchaser shall reasonably request, including the documents listed on Exhibit M attached hereto (collectively, the “Inspection Documents”), all upon reasonable advance written notice; provided, however, in no event shall Seller be obligated to make available (a) any reports or studies that have been superseded by subsequent reports or studies; and/or (b) any of the following confidential and proprietary materials: (1) information contained in financial analyses or projections (including Seller’s budgets, valuations, cost-basis information and capital account information); (2) material that is subject to attorney-client privilege or that is attorney work product; (3) appraisal reports or letters; (4) organizational, financial and other documents relating to Seller, its direct and indirect partners or members or their respective affiliates; or (5) material that Seller is legally required not to disclose other than by reason of legal requirements voluntarily assumed by Seller after the date hereof.

Purchaser shall:

(d) take all actions and implement all protections necessary to ensure that the Investigations and the equipment, materials, and substances generated, used or brought onto the Property in connection with the Investigations, pose no threat to the safety or health of persons or the environment, and cause no damage to the Property or other property of Seller or other persons;
(e) if this Agreement is terminated by any reason other than Seller’s default, furnish to Seller, at Seller’s request and at no cost or expense to Seller, copies of all surveys, soil test results, engineering, asbestos, environmental and other studies and reports (other than internal analysis and proprietary information of Purchaser) relating to the Investigations which Purchaser shall obtain with respect to the Property, but with no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of the same and subject to any confidentiality limitations set forth in this Agreement;

(g) not permit the Investigations or any other activities undertaken by Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s Representatives to result in any liens, judgments or other encumbrances being filed or recorded against the Property, and Purchaser shall, at its sole cost

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) Purchaser may disclose such of the Information and its other reports, studies, documents and other matters generated by it and (y) either party may disclose the terms of this Agreement provided that any such disclosure described in clauses (x) and (y) of this paragraph is (i) required by law or court order and discloses that portion (and only that portion) that it is legally compelled to disclose (provided prior written notice of such disclosure shall be provided to the other party and the disclosing party agrees to use its best efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Information by the person or persons to whom it was disclosed), or (ii) deemed reasonably necessary or desirable by Purchaser and is disclosed to Purchaser’s Representatives in connection with Purchaser’s Investigations and the transaction contemplated hereby or is disclosed to Seller Related Parties, provided that those to whom such Information or this Agreement is disclosed are informed of the confidential nature thereof and agree(s) to keep the same confidential in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and the disclosing party agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Section by the parties to whom it directly or indirectly discloses Information or this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall impair Purchaser’s (or its permitted assignee’s) right to disclose information relating to this Agreement or the Property (a) to any due diligence representatives and/or consultants that are engaged by, work for or are acting on behalf of, any securities dealers and/or broker dealers evaluating Purchaser or its permitted assignees, (b) in connection with any
filings (including any amendment or supplement to any S-11 filing) with governmental agencies (including the SEC) by any REIT (as hereinafter defined) holding, or that is considering holding, an interest (direct or indirect) in any permitted assignee of Purchaser, and (c) to any broker/dealers in Purchaser’s or any REIT’s broker/dealer network and any of the REIT’s or Purchaser’s investors.
(c) Each party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other, non-breaching party and any related non-breaching party thereof, from and against any and all Claims suffered or incurred by the non-breaching party or any related non-breaching party and arising out of or in connection with a breach by the breaching party or its representatives of the provisions of this Section 4.2.2.
(d) Purchaser shall and shall cause each of the Purchaser’s Representatives to use reasonable care to maintain in good condition all of the Information furnished or made available to such Person in accordance with this Section 4.2.2. If this Agreement is terminated, then Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of the Purchaser’s Representatives, to promptly deliver to Seller all originals and copies of the Information in the possession of such Person, and, upon Seller’s written request, to expunge and delete any of the Information maintained on any word processing or computer system or in any other electronic form to the extent practicable.
(e) As used in this Agreement, the term “Information” shall mean any of the following: (i) all information and documents in any way relating to the Property, the operation thereof or the sale thereof, including, without limitation, all leases and contracts furnished to, or otherwise made available (including, without limitation, in any electronic data room established by or on behalf of Seller) for review by, Purchaser or its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, partners, members, brokers, agents, lenders, advisors, broker/dealers of the REIT or other representatives, including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, contractors, consultants, engineers and financial advisors (collectively, the “Purchaser’s Representatives”), by any of the Seller Related Parties or any of their agents or representatives, including, without limitation, their contractors, engineers, attorneys, accountants, consultants, brokers or advisors, and (ii) all analyses, compilations, data, studies, reports or other information or documents prepared or obtained by Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s Representatives containing or based on, in whole or in part, the information or documents described in the preceding clause (i), the Investigations, or otherwise reflecting their review or investigation of the Property.
(f) In addition to any other remedies available to Seller, Seller shall have the right to seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief and/or specific performance, against Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s Representatives in order to enforce the provisions of this Section 4.2.2.
(g) The provisions of this Section 4.2.2 shall survive a termination of this Agreement.
4.2.3 Termination Right. During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall have the right, for any reason or no reason, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, to terminate this
Agreement by delivering notice in writing to Seller on or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date that the Due Diligence Period shall expire (such notice being herein called a “Termination Notice”). If Purchaser has not delivered a Termination Notice and Purchaser shall determine (in its sole and absolute discretion) that it intends to acquire the Property, then Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of such determination in writing on or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date that the Due Diligence Period shall expire (such notice being herein called the “Asset Approval Notice”). In the event (x) Purchaser delivers a Termination Notice or (y) Purchaser fails to deliver the Asset Approval Notice prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date that the Due Diligence Period shall expire, the Initial Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and no party hereto shall have any further obligations in connection herewith except under those provisions that expressly survive the Closing or a termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that if Seller has notified Purchaser as and in the manner provided by Section 3.1.2 of this Agreement of the existence of a Pre-Closing Breach, Escrowee shall release the Initial Deposit to Purchaser, less the Pre-Closing Breach Amount, which Pre-Closing Breach Amount shall be held by Escrowee until the same is to be released as and in the manner provided by Section 3.1.2 of this Agreement. If Purchaser shall (i) deliver the Asset Approval Notice to Seller before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and (ii) deposit the Additional Deposit with Escrowee within one (1) Business Day following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed that Purchaser intends to proceed with the acquisition of the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement without a reduction in, or an abatement of or credit against, the Purchase Price and, thereafter, Purchaser shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.2.3. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees it has reviewed and approved the condition of title (subject to Purchaser’s receipt of the CCR Estoppel Certificate), zoning, the survey, the environmental condition and physical condition of the Property and the Leases; provided, however, Purchaser’s acknowledgement of the foregoing shall not impair or affect any of Purchaser’s right in this Section 4.2.3 to terminate the Agreement.
4.3 Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to Purchaser for review and approval within five (5) Business Days following the Effective Date, the estoppel certificates in substantially the form of Exhibit D-1 attached hereto, except that with respect to AECOM, in substantially the form of Exhibit D-2 attached hereto (in either instance, each, a “Tenant Estoppel Certificate”, and collectively, the “Tenant Estoppel Certificates”), and (b) remit, or cause to be remitted, the Tenant Estoppel Certificates to the tenants of the Property for signature within two (2) Business Days following Purchaser’s written notice to Seller that Purchaser has approved the Tenant Estoppel Certificates (which notice shall set forth any required corrections). If Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its approval of, or any changes to, the Tenant Estoppel Certificates it receives from Seller for approval within two (2) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt of the same, Seller may forward such Tenant Estoppel Certificates to the tenants without Purchaser’s prior approval. Subject to the further provisions of this Section 4.3, receipt of Tenant Estoppel Certificates by Purchaser no less than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date substantially in the form prescribed above or as provided below (i) from the tenants identified on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof (collectively, the “Required Tenants”), and (ii) a sufficient number of other tenants at the Property such that estoppel certificates shall have been received pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) hereof with respect to not less than 80% of the total net rentable
square footage of the Property covered by Leases in effect as of the Closing Date at the Property, (x) not disclosing the existence of any material uncured default under the Leases referred to therein and (y) confirming the information contained in the Tenant Estoppel Certificate delivered to Purchaser for approval, shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property hereunder. Seller shall promptly, following receipt of the same, deliver copies of the executed Tenant Estoppel Certificates to Purchaser. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts (and, as used in this Agreement, commercially reasonable efforts shall not be deemed to include any obligation to institute legal proceedings, deliver notices of default or to expend any monies) to obtain executed Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Tenant Estoppel Certificate that is in the form, if any, prescribed in the applicable Lease or other operative document or that is in any form which does not materially vary from the representations made in the form of Tenant Estoppel Certificate in Exhibit D-1 or Exhibit D-2 (as modified to make the statement contained therein factually correct), as applicable, shall be deemed to be a satisfactory Tenant Estoppel Certificate for all purposes under this Agreement, provided that such Tenant Estoppel Certificate does not disclose any material uncured default under the Leases referred to therein and, to the extent required by the terms of such tenant’s Lease, confirms the information contained in the Tenant Estoppel Certificate delivered to Purchaser for approval.
Seller agrees that upon its receipt of a form subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (an “SNDA”) from Purchaser or its lender (i) it will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Purchaser an executed subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from AECOM prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and (ii) that Seller shall promptly send such SNDAs to all its respective tenants; provided, however, that Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that receipt of any or all of the SNDAs (whether prior to or after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period) shall not be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property.
4.4 Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Purchaser. The obligation of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to (a) the performance and observance, in all material respects, by Seller of all of its covenants, warranties and agreements of this Agreement to be performed or observed by Seller prior to or on the Closing Date, (b) all of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement being true and correct in all material respects, (c) the fulfillment on or before the Closing Date of all other conditions precedent to Closing benefiting Purchaser specifically enumerated in this Agreement, any or all of which may be waived by Purchaser in its sole discretion, (d) Purchaser having received no less than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, fully executed Tenant Estoppel Certificates from all Required Tenants and a sufficient number of additional tenants to meet the requirements set forth in Section 4.3, and otherwise complying with the requirements set forth in Section 4.3 herein, (e) no unfavorable judgment, decree, injunction, order or ruling shall have been entered preventing the performance of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by Seller, (f) no Violations (as hereinafter defined), the cost of which to remediate would exceed One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000.00), shall have been issued in writing against the Property after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and were not discoverable by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and (g) satisfaction of the Mortgage Contingency (as
hereinafter defined); provided that Seller shall have the right to adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date for up to fifteen (15) Business Days to satisfy the conditions set forth in this Section 4.4; provided, further, that if Seller exercises the right to adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date pursuant to this Section and/or Section 4.1.1(b), Seller may not adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date for more than thirty (30) Business Days in the aggregate after taking into consideration an adjournment under Section 4.1.1(b).
4.5 Mortgage Contingency. The obligations of Purchaser hereunder are conditioned upon Purchaser’s procurement of, and a lender funding at Closing, a loan in an amount and on terms satisfactory to Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Mortgage Contingency”). If the Mortgage Contingency is not satisfied by the Scheduled Closing Date, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller on the Scheduled Closing Date and no party hereto shall have any further obligations in connection herewith except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, and Escrowee shall release the Deposit to Purchaser; provided, however, that if Seller has notified Purchaser as and in the manner provided by Section 3.1.2 of this Agreement of the existence of a Pre-Closing Breach, Escrowee shall release the Initial Deposit to Purchaser less the Pre-Closing Breach Amount, which Pre-Closing Breach Amount shall be held by Escrowee until the same is to be released as and in the manner provided by Section 3.1.2 of this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to provide such notice on the Scheduled Closing Date, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived Purchaser’s right to cancel this Agreement and to receive a refund of the Deposit by reason of the Mortgage Contingency contained in this Section 4.5.
4.6 Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Seller. The obligation of Seller to consummate the Transaction shall be subject to (a) the performance and observance, in all material respects, by Purchaser of all covenants, warranties and agreements of this Agreement to be performed or observed by Purchaser prior to or on the Closing Date (provided that Purchaser shall have delivered the full amount of the Closing Payment to Escrow) and the fulfillment on or before the Closing Date of all other conditions precedent to Closing benefiting Seller specifically enumerated in this Agreement, any or all of which may be waived by Seller in its sole discretion, and (b) all of the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement being true and correct in all material respects.
5. Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the Transaction shall occur at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on October 10, 2016 (as the same may be extended as expressly provided herein (the “Scheduled Closing Date”)), TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE with respect to Purchaser’s obligation to close on such date, at the offices of Escrowee through an escrow and pursuant to escrow instructions consistent with the terms of this Agreement and otherwise mutually satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser (the date on which the Closing shall occur being herein referred to as the “Closing Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the next sentence, Purchaser, in its sole discretion, shall have the one time right to adjourn the Closing for a period not to exceed thirty five (35) days, provided that Purchaser shall notify Seller, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the then Scheduled Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall have the right, exercisable by delivery of a written notice to Seller (the “Accelerated Closing Date Notice”), to accelerate the Closing Date to a Business Day selected
by Purchaser; provided that such date shall not be any earlier than six (6) Business Days following delivery of the Accelerated Closing Date Notice. Delivery of the Accelerated Closing Date Notice shall constitute approval by Purchaser of all matters to which Purchaser has a right of approval and a waiver of all conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (other than the obligation of Seller to make the deliveries provided for in Section 5.1; provided that if Seller is unable to deliver the Update (as hereinafter defined), then Seller shall have the right to adjourn the Closing for a period not to exceed six (6) Business Days in the aggregate). If Purchaser delivers the Accelerated Closing Date Notice, Seller and Purchaser shall each, subject to Seller’s rights to adjourn the Closing for the aforementioned six (6) Business Days, be deemed to have waived all other rights to adjourn the Closing Date hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, and for the purpose of clarification only, delivery by Purchaser of the Accelerated Closing Date Notice shall constitute Purchaser’s acceptance of all title exceptions encumbering the Property as of the Closing Date. It is contemplated that the Transaction shall be closed by means of a so called “New York Style Closing”, with the concurrent delivery of the documents of title, the commitment to deliver the Owner’s Policy and the payment of the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no requirement that Seller and Purchaser physically meet for the Closing, and all documents and funds to be delivered at the Closing shall be delivered to Escrowee unless the parties hereto mutually agree otherwise. The Closing shall constitute approval by each party of all matters to which such party has a right of approval and a waiver of all conditions precedent.
5.1 Seller Deliveries. No less than one (1) Business Day prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser or to the Escrowee, as the case may be the following items executed and acknowledged by Seller, as appropriate:
5.1.1 A special warranty deed (the “Special Warranty Deed”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F.
5.1.2 An assignment and assumption of leases and contracts (the “Assignment and Assumption of Leases and Contracts”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G.

5.1.5 All existing surveys, blueprints, drawings, plans and specifications for or with respect to the Property or any part thereof, to the extent the same are in Seller’s possession.
5.1.6 All keys to the Improvements, to the extent the same are in Seller’s possession.
5.1.7 All Leases in effect on the Closing Date, to the extent the same are in Seller’s possession.

5.1.9 All applicable transfer tax forms, if any.
5.1.10 Such further instruments as may be reasonably required by the Title Company to record the Special Warranty Deed.

5.1.13 The Mud Notice (as hereinafter defined).
5.1.14 The Restrictive Covenant Notice (as hereinafter defined).

provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that if Seller has notified Purchaser of a Pre-Closing Breach in the manner provided by Section 3.1.2 of this Agreement, Escrowee shall release the Deposit to Purchaser, less the Pre-Closing Breach Amount, which Pre-Closing Breach Amount shall be held by Escrowee until the same is to be released as and in the manner provided by Section 3.1.2 of this Agreement.
5.1.18 If the Real Property is subject to a declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions or similar instrument (“CCRs”) governing or affecting the use, operation, maintenance, management or improvement of the Real Property, a recordable assignment, in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser, assigning any and all developer, declarant or other related rights or interests of Seller (or any affiliate of Seller) in or under the CCRs, if Seller (or such affiliate) holds such rights or interests. In addition, Seller shall request, and it shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement that Purchaser receive an executed estoppel certificate (in form and substance to be agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller) related to that certain Greenhouse Declaration of Easements, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions recorded May 28, 2013 under Clerk’s File No. 20130256729 of the Official Public Records of Real Property of Harris County, Texas (the “CCR Estoppel Certificate”) from the declarant, association, committee, agent and/or other person or entity having governing or approval rights under the CCR Estoppel Certificate. Purchaser and Seller agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and finalize the form CCR Estoppel Certificate prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period; provided, however, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of the parties to agree to a form CCR Estoppel Certificate, whether prior to, or after, the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, shall not constitute a default by either Seller or Purchaser.
5.2 Purchaser Deliveries. Except as otherwise expressly provided below, no less than one (1) Business Day prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller or to the Escrowee, as the case may be, the following items, executed and acknowledged by Purchaser, as appropriate:
5.2.1 The Closing Payment, sent by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the account designated by Escrowee and available for disbursement no later 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Closing Date.

5.2.10 Evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Title Company respecting the due organization of Purchaser and the due authorization and execution by Purchaser of this Agreement and the documents required to be delivered by Purchaser hereunder.
5.3 Closing Costs. Seller shall pay the title insurance premium for the Owner’s Policy and fifty percent (50%) of the cost of Escrowee. Purchaser shall pay (a) the cost of any title endorsements and affirmative insurance required by Purchaser, (b) the cost of the Survey (or any update thereto), (c) all recording charges payable in connection with the recording of the Special Warranty Deed, (d) fifty percent (50%) of the cost of Escrowee, and (e) all fees, costs or expenses in connection with Purchaser’s due diligence reviews hereunder. Any other closing costs shall be allocated in accordance with local custom. Except as expressly provided in the indemnities set forth in this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser shall pay their respective legal, consulting and other professional fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and their respective shares of prorations as hereinafter provided. The provisions of this Section 5.3 shall survive the Closing or a termination of this Agreement.
5.4 Prorations.
5.4.1 The following shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over the applicable period regardless when payable):
(a) All real estate taxes, water charges, sewer rents, vault charges and assessments on the Real Property on the basis of the fiscal year for which assessed. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the taxes on the Real Property with respect to the period after the Closing resulting from the sale of the Real Property or from any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date. If any assessments on the Real Property are 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).
(b) Subject to this Section 5.4.1(b), all fixed rent and regularly scheduled items of additional rent under the Leases, and other tenant charges if, as and when received. Seller shall deliver or provide a credit in an amount equal to all prepaid rentals for periods after the Closing Date and all refundable cash security deposits (to the extent the foregoing were made by tenants under the Leases and are not applied or forfeited prior to the Closing Date) to Purchaser on the Closing Date. As to any tenant security deposits held in the form of letters of credit or other financial instruments (the “Non-Cash Security Deposits”), the Seller shall (i) deliver to Purchaser at Closing such original Non-Cash Security Deposits, and (ii) execute and deliver at Closing such other instruments as the issuer of such Non-Cash Security Deposits shall reasonably require in order to cause the named beneficiary under such Non-Cash
Security Deposits to be changed to Purchaser; provided that such instruments do not impose any liability on Seller. Purchaser will not receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the Non-Cash Security Deposits. Rents which are delinquent as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated on the Closing Date. Purchaser shall include such delinquencies in its normal billing and shall diligently pursue the collection thereof in good faith after the Closing Date (but Purchaser shall not be required to litigate or declare a default under any Lease). To the extent Purchaser receives rents on or after the Closing Date, such payments shall be applied first toward the rents for the month in which the Closing occurs, second to the rents that shall then be due and payable to Purchaser, and third to any delinquent rents owed to Seller, with Seller’s share thereof being held by Purchaser in trust for Seller and promptly delivered to Seller by Purchaser. Purchaser may not waive any delinquent rents nor modify a Lease so as to reduce or otherwise affect amounts owed thereunder for any period in which Seller is entitled to receive a share of charges or amounts without first obtaining Seller’s written consent, which consent may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Seller hereby reserves the right to pursue any remedy against any tenant owing delinquent rents and any other amounts to Seller (but shall not be entitled to terminate any lease or any tenant’s right to possession), which right shall include the right to continue or commence legal actions or proceedings against any tenant; provided, however, that Seller shall not be entitled to exercise such right until the expiration of the six (6) month period following the Closing. Delivery of the Assignment and Assumption of Leases and Contracts shall not constitute a waiver by Seller of such right, and such right shall survive the Closing. Purchaser shall bill and attempt to collect such delinquent rent in the ordinary course of business, but shall not be obligated to engage a collection agency or take legal action to collect any delinquencies. With respect to delinquent rents and any other amounts or other rights of any kind respecting tenants who are no longer tenants of the Real Property as of the Closing Date, Seller shall retain all rights relating thereto. Any rents received by Seller applicable to the period after the Closing shall be promptly remitted to Purchaser.
(c) In the event that the Leases require the reconciliation of additional rent “pass-throughs” to the landlord for common area maintenance charges, real estate taxes or other operating expenses (collectively, the “Expenses”), Purchaser shall perform all of the obligations of the landlord under the Leases with respect to such reconciliations for the year of Closing as and when required by the terms of the Leases and provide Seller with the results of such reconciliations no later March 31st of the calendar year succeeding the Closing Date. If such results reflect the underpayment of Expenses by tenants of the Property for the year of Closing, Purchaser shall bill the appropriate amounts to such tenants in accordance with the terms of their leases and remit to Seller its prorata share of the amount collected from the tenants within thirty (30) days of Purchaser’s collection of the same. If such results reflect the overpayment of Expenses by tenants of the Property for the year of Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller an invoice from Purchaser together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller indicating that such sums are due to such tenants. Seller shall pay Purchaser Seller’s prorata share of the amounts due to such tenants within thirty (30) days of Purchaser’s demand, provided that Seller shall have no obligation to reimburse Purchaser for any sums not invoiced on or before July 1st of the calendar year succeeding the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 5.4.1(c) shall survive the Closing.
(d) All operating expenses customarily apportioned between sellers and purchasers of real estate properties similar to the Property and located in the same geographic area as the Property.
(e) Charges and payments under contracts or permitted renewals or replacements thereof assigned to Purchaser pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption of Leases and Contracts.
(f) Any prepaid items, including, without limitation, fees for licenses which are transferred to Purchaser at the Closing and annual permit and inspection fees.
(g) Utilities in connection with the Real Property, including, without limitation, telephone, steam, electricity and gas, on the basis of the most recently issued bills therefor, subject to adjustment after the Closing when the next bills are available, or if current meter readings are available, on the basis of such readings.
(h) Deposits with telephone and other utility companies, and any other Persons who supply goods or services in connection with the Real Property if the same are assignable and assigned to Purchaser at the Closing, which shall be credited in their entirety to Seller.
(i) Personal property taxes, if any, on the basis of the fiscal year for which assessed.
(j) Permitted administrative charges, if any, on those tenants’ security deposits transferred by Seller pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption of Leases and Contracts.
(k) Taxes payable by Seller relating to operations of the Property, including, without limitation, business and occupancy taxes and sales taxes, if any.
(l) Such other items as are customarily apportioned between sellers and purchasers of real estate of a type similar to the Property and located in the same geographic area as the Property subject to Section 7.2.3(a) hereof.
(m) Purchaser acknowledges that Seller may have collected from tenants, as part of operating expenses and/or taxes under the Leases, funds for the purpose of paying Seller’s Texas margin tax (the “Margin Tax”) allocable to Seller’s ownership of the Property during the calendar year of Closing. The parties agree that, because the Margin Tax is charged based on the revenue that an entity receives rather than based on a party’s ownership of the Property, the portion of operating expenses allocable to the Margin Tax will not be prorated like other operating expenses. In addition, Seller will be entitled to retain all operating expenses allocable to the Margin Tax that Seller has received prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, if Seller has received any payment of operating expenses allocable to the Margin Tax attributable for any period from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for such amount. If Purchaser receives any payment of operating expenses allocable to
the Margin Tax attributable for any period prior to the Closing Date, such payment shall be handled in the same manner as other delinquent rents received by Purchaser.
5.4.2 (a) If any of the items described in Section 5.4.1 hereof cannot be apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of information as to the amounts which are to be apportioned or otherwise, or are incorrectly apportioned at Closing or subsequent thereto, such items shall be apportioned or reapportioned, as the case may be, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date or the date such error is discovered, as applicable; provided that (i) with the exception of any item required to be apportioned pursuant to Section 5.4.1(a), (b) or (g), neither party shall have the right to request apportionment or reapportionment of any such item at any time following the one hundred eightieth (180th) day after the Closing Date and (ii) with respect to the items required to be apportioned pursuant to Section 5.4.1(a), (b) or (g), neither party shall have the right to request apportionment or reapportionment of any such item at any time following the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date. If the Closing shall occur before a real estate or personal property tax rate or assessment is fixed for the tax year in which the Closing occurs, the apportionment of taxes at the Closing shall be upon the basis of the tax rate or assessment for the preceding fiscal year applied to the latest assessed valuation. Promptly after the new tax rate or assessment is fixed, the apportionment of taxes or assessments shall be recomputed and any discrepancy resulting from such recomputation and any errors or omissions in computing apportionments at Closing shall be promptly corrected and the proper party reimbursed, which obligations shall survive the Closing.
(b) With respect to any outstanding leasing costs that are, pursuant to the Lease (as in effect as of Closing) with J. Connor Consulting, Inc. (“JCC”), convertible by JCC into free rent for any period after Closing, Purchaser shall be given a credit at Closing equal to the amount of such outstanding leasing costs that are convertible into free rent attributable to periods from and after the Closing Date.
(c) To the extent that World Fuel Services, Inc., pursuant to its Lease (as in effect as of Closing), is entitled to any free base rent or operating expense reimbursement, in each case, for any period after Closing, Purchaser shall be given a credit equal to the free base rent amount and operating expense reimbursement, attributable to the period from and after the Closing Date.
(d) Purchaser shall be entitled to receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing for the amount of any rental abatements or “free rent” periods outstanding as of the Closing Date for all other tenants (in addition to JCC and World Fuel Services, Inc. referenced above in subsection (b) and (c)), attributable to periods from and after the Closing Date.
5.4.3 Items to be prorated at the Closing shall include a credit to Seller for costs and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with any new Leases or modifications to any existing Leases entered into after the date hereof in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.2.3(a) of this Agreement, but only to the extent such costs and expenses are approved or deemed approved by Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.2.3(a) or disclosed to Purchaser in writing or in the proposed lease at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Seller shall be responsible for all brokerage and leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs for the initial term of all Leases entered into prior to the Effective Date and for any extension, renewal or expansion of any such Lease exercised prior to the Effective Date (collectively, “Seller Leasing Costs”). Purchaser shall be responsible for and expressly assumes the obligation to pay all brokerage and leasing commissions (including, without limitation, amounts owing with respect to the current existing term of any of the Leases, if any, under the Brokerage Agreements), tenant improvement costs and other costs and expenses including attorney’s fees for any new Leases entered into from and after the Effective Date and any extension, renewal or expansion of any existing Lease exercised or entered into from and after the Effective Date including, without limitation amounts owed under the Brokerage Agreements, provided in all such instances, the term of such Lease, extension, or expansion or the regularly scheduled payment of rent commences from and after the Effective Date, provided, with respect to new Leases or extensions or expansions entered into from and after the Effective Date and prior to Closing, (i) such new leases or extensions or expansions are approved or deemed approved by Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.2.3(a) of this Agreement and (ii) such brokerage and leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs and other costs are disclosed to Purchaser in writing, in the applicable lease or other agreement delivered to Purchaser at the time Purchaser approves (or is deemed to have approved) such new leases, or any such Lease extensions, renewals or expansions (collectively, “Purchaser Leasing Costs”). If at the Closing Seller has paid Purchaser Leasing Costs, the prorations at the Closing shall include an appropriate credit to Seller. If at the Closing there remain unpaid Seller Leasing Costs, Purchaser shall expressly assume the responsibility to pay such unpaid Seller Leasing Costs, and the prorations at the Closing shall include an appropriate credit to Purchaser.
5.4.4 As provided in Section 10.1.2, Seller shall be responsible for paying all fees, costs or commissions owing to the Broker (as defined in Section 10.1.2) with regard to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
5.4.5 The provisions of this Section 5.4 shall survive the Closing.
6. Condemnation or Destruction of Property. In the event that, after the Effective Date but prior to the Closing Date, either any portion of the Real Property is taken pursuant to eminent domain proceedings or condemnation or any of the Improvements are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Seller shall have no obligation to restore, repair or replace any portion of the Real Property or any such damage or destruction. Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s interest in all awards or other proceeds for such taking by eminent domain or condemnation or the proceeds of any insurance collected by Seller for such damage or destruction (unless Seller shall have repaired such damage or destruction prior to the Closing and except to the extent any such awards, proceeds or insurance are attributable to lost rents or items applicable to any period prior to the Closing), less the amount of all costs incurred by Seller in connection with the repair of such damage or destruction or collection costs of Seller respecting any awards or other proceeds for such taking by eminent domain or condemnation or any uncollected insurance proceeds which Seller may be entitled to receive from such damage or destruction, as applicable. In connection with any assignment of awards, proceeds or insurance hereunder, Seller shall credit Purchaser with an amount equal to the applicable deductible
amount under Seller’s insurance (but not more than the amount by which the cost, as of the Closing Date, to repair the damage is greater than the amount of insurance proceeds assigned to Purchaser); provided, however, if the damage (as determined by an independent third party contractor or engineer selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Purchaser) or any condemnation is Material (as defined below), Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller given within five (5) Business Days following notification to Purchaser of the casualty or condemnation and the determination of the amount of any damage. In any instance where this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 6, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and no party hereto shall have any further obligations in connection herewith except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that if Seller has notified Purchaser of a Pre-Closing Breach in the manner provided by Section 3.1.2 of this Agreement, Escrowee shall release the Deposit to Purchaser, less the Pre-Closing Breach Amount, which Pre-Closing Breach Amount shall be held by Escrowee until the same is to be released as and in the manner provided by Section 3.1.2 of this Agreement. The parties hereby waive the provisions of any statute which provides for a different outcome or treatment in the event of a casualty or a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, including the Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act, Section 5.007 of the Texas Property Code. For purposes hereof, any damage to all or portions of the Property and any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding with respect to all or portions of the Property shall be considered “Material” if: (i) as to any damage, the cost to repair such damage exceeds five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price and Seller, at its sole option, does not elect to repair or does not repair the same prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, and as to any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, the value of the Real Property affected exceeds five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price; (ii) it causes access to or parking on the Property to be materially impaired; (iii) it results in the Property violating any laws or failing to comply with zoning or any covenants, conditions or restrictions affecting the Property and such violations have not been waived by the applicable Governmental Agency; (iv) it entitles any Required Tenant to terminate its Lease; or (v) as to any damage, it is not fully insured (or for which Purchaser will not receive, at Seller’s election, a credit in the amount of the uninsured portion of such damage at Closing).

(j) Due Authority. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by, and is binding upon, Seller, and each agreement, instrument and document herein provided to be executed by Seller on the Closing Date will be duly authorized, executed, and delivered by, and be binding upon, Seller, and enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors. Seller is a limited liability company, duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is, or on the Closing Date will be, duly authorized and qualified to do all things required of it under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding and without limiting the foregoing, (i) if any of the representations or warranties of Seller that survive Closing contained in this Agreement or in any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith are false or inaccurate, or Seller is in breach or default of any of its obligations under this Agreement that survive Closing, and Purchaser nonetheless closes the transactions hereunder and purchases the Property, then Seller shall have no liability or obligation respecting such false or inaccurate representations or warranties or other breach or default (and any cause of action resulting therefrom shall terminate upon the Closing) in the event that either (x) on or prior to Closing, Purchaser shall have had actual knowledge of the false or inaccurate representations or warranties or other breach or default, or (y) the accurate state of facts pertinent to such false or inaccurate representations or warranties or other breach or default was contained in any of the Information furnished or made available to or otherwise obtained by Purchaser, and (ii) to the extent the copies of the Leases, the Contracts or any other Information furnished or made available to or otherwise obtained by Purchaser no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period contain provisions or information that are inconsistent with the foregoing representations and warranties, Seller shall have no liability or obligation respecting such inconsistent representations or warranties (and Purchaser shall have no cause of action or right to terminate this Agreement with respect thereto), and such representations and warranties shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to eliminate such inconsistency and to conform such representations and warranties to such Leases, Contracts and other Information.

against Seller on account of any breach of any representations or warranties set forth in this Section 7.1.1, Seller shall have received a written notice from Purchaser of such breach of a representation or warranty (any notice to such effect must, in order to qualify as such for purposes of this Agreement, set forth specifically the representation or warranty allegedly breached and a reasonably detailed description of the alleged breach) within such nine (9) month period and Purchaser shall have filed an action in a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to the breach alleged in such notice on or before the date that is two (2) years and one (1) day following the Closing or Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any and all claims and rights to sue Seller for damages for such breach of representation and/or warranty by Seller. The parties stipulate that the aforementioned periods of time for the delivery of written notice of an alleged breach and the filing of an action with respect to such breach is reasonable and hereby waive any claims to the contrary. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties further agree that to the fullest extent permitted by law, the foregoing shall constitute the express intent of the parties to shorten the period of limitations for bringing claims on account of Seller’s breach of its representations and warranties contained in this Section 7.1.1 if a longer period would otherwise be permitted by applicable law.

PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, DURING THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD, PURCHASER WILL BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXAMINE, REVIEW AND INSPECT ALL MATTERS WHICH IN PURCHASER’S JUDGMENT BEAR UPON THE PROPERTY AND ITS VALUE AND SUITABILITY FOR PURCHASER’S PURPOSES. PURCHASER IS A SOPHISTICATED PURCHASER WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH THE OWNERSHIP AND OPERATION OF REAL ESTATE PROJECTS SIMILAR TO THE PROPERTY AND THAT PURCHASER HAS OR WILL HAVE ADEQUATE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLETE ALL PHYSICAL AND FINANCIAL EXAMINATIONS (INCLUDING ALL OF THE EXAMINATIONS, REVIEWS AND INVESTIGATIONS REFERRED TO IN SECTION 4) RELATING TO THE ACQUISITION OF THE PROPERTY HEREUNDER IT DEEMS NECESSARY, AND WILL ACQUIRE THE SAME SOLELY ON THE BASIS OF AND IN RELIANCE UPON SUCH EXAMINATIONS AND THE TITLE
INSURANCE PROTECTION AFFORDED BY THE OWNER’S POLICY AND NOT ON ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED OR TO BE PROVIDED BY SELLER (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN OR IN THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES)).

THE FOREGOING WAIVER SHALL NOT BE APPLICABLE TO PURCHASER’S RIGHT TO IMPLEAD OR OTHERWISE SEEK JOINDER OF SELLER SOLELY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT AGAINST PURCHASER BY A THIRD PARTY UNAFFILIATED WITH PURCHASER RELATING TO HAZARDOUS MATERIALS DISPOSED OF OR RELEASED IN, ON OR UNDER THE PROPERTY DURING SELLER’S PERIOD OF OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY AND FOR WHICH SELLER SHALL BE LIABLE UNDER ANY STATUTE CONCERNING LIABILITY FOR CONTAMINATION BY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 7.1.2 SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING.
7.2 Interim Covenants of Seller. Until the Closing Date or the sooner termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement:
7.2.1 Seller shall maintain the Property in substantially the same manner as prior hereto pursuant to Seller’s normal course of business (which maintenance obligations shall not include any obligation to make capital expenditures or expenditures not incurred in Seller’s normal course of business), subject to reasonable wear and tear and further subject to destruction by casualty or other events beyond the control of Seller.
7.2.2 Subject to the terms set forth in this Section 7.2.2, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller may cancel, modify, extend, renew or permit the expiration of contracts or enter into any new service contract without Purchaser’s consent provided that Seller delivers to Purchaser copies of the same no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall not modify, extend, renew or cancel (except as a result of a default by the other party thereunder) or enter into any additional service contracts or other similar agreements (“Post Due Diligence Contracts”) without the prior consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, Purchaser’s consent shall not be required if such contract is cancelable upon not more than thirty (30) days’ notice without payment of premium or penalty by Purchaser. Purchaser’s failure to disapprove any request for consent by Seller under this Section 7.2.2 within five (5) days following Seller’s request therefor shall be
deemed to constitute Purchaser’s consent thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall terminate at Closing, and Purchaser shall not assume, such Post Due Diligence Contracts and any property management or leasing agreement affecting the Property.
7.2.3 (a) Seller shall have the right to continue to offer the Property for lease in the same manner as prior hereto pursuant to its normal course of business and, upon request, shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed as to the status of leasing prior to the Closing Date.

After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall not during the term of this Agreement enter into any new leases or, unless expressly required by the term of existing Leases, modifications of existing Leases, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion.
(b) From and after the date hereof until Closing or termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not lien, encumber or otherwise transfer all or any interest in the Property except for Leases entered into in accordance with this Agreement and utility easements entered into in the ordinary course of business (other than to Purchaser at Closing).

7.2.4 Purchaser has informed Seller that Purchaser is required by law to complete with respect to certain matters relating to the Property an audit commonly known as a “3-14” Audit (“Purchaser’s 3-14 Audit”).

questions relating to the Property which are set forth in Exhibit M, to the extent such information is in existence and in Seller’s possession. Additionally, Seller covenants to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and to make available to Purchaser (at no cost or expense to Seller) all information needed to evaluate and answer questions for the completion of Purchaser’s 3-14 Audit, to the extent such information is in Seller’s possession or control. Any information provided to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.2.4 shall constitute Information and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.2.2.
7.2.5 Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep in force and effect the insurance policies currently carried by Seller with respect to the Property or policies providing similar coverage through the Closing Date.

10.2.3 The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.
10.3 Exhibits; Entire Agreement; Modification. All exhibits attached and referred to in this Agreement are hereby incorporated herein as if fully set forth in (and shall be deemed to be a part of ) this Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties respecting the matters herein set forth and supersedes any and all prior agreements between the parties hereto respecting such matters. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by written agreement signed by both parties.
10.4 Business Days. Whenever any action must be taken (including the giving of notice or the delivery of documents) under this Agreement during a certain period of time (or by a particular date) that ends (or occurs) on a non-Business Day, then such period (or date) shall be extended until the next succeeding Business Day. As used herein, the term “Business Day” shall be deemed to mean any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which commercial banks in the State of New York or in the State of Texas are not required or authorized to be closed for business. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, (a) all references to time shall be deemed to refer to Eastern time, and (b) all time periods shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time.
10.5 Interpretation. Section headings shall not be used in construing this Agreement. Each party acknowledges that such party and its counsel, after negotiation and consultation, have reviewed and revised this Agreement. As such, the terms of this Agreement shall be fairly construed and the usual rule of construction, to wit, that ambiguities in this Agreement should be resolved against the drafting party, shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or exhibits hereto or thereto. Whenever the words “including”, “include” or “includes” are used in this Agreement, they shall be interpreted in a non-exclusive manner. Except as otherwise indicated, all Exhibit and Section references in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the Exhibits and Sections in this Agreement.
10.6 Governing Law.

10.8 Successors and Assigns. Purchaser may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be given or withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Seller; provided that, in the event of such an assignment or transfer, the transferee shall assume in writing all of the transferor’s obligations hereunder (but Purchaser or any subsequent transferor shall not be released from its obligations hereunder). Notwithstanding and without limiting the foregoing, no consent given by Seller to any transfer or assignment of Purchaser’s rights or obligations hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a consent to any other transfer or assignment of Purchaser’s rights or obligations hereunder and no transfer or assignment in violation of the provisions hereof shall be valid or enforceable. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an entity that is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) (or that is wholly owned directly or indirectly by a REIT) for which Purchaser or an affiliate of Purchaser acts as the sole investment advisor without the prior written consent of Seller provided that Purchaser provides immediate notice of any such assignment to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement by such assignment or nomination. If Purchaser’s assignee or nominee has satisfied all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement as of the Closing (including, without limitation, the payment of the Purchase Price to Seller, subject to permitted prorations and adjustments), and has signed a written assumption of all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, Purchaser (but not the assignee) shall automatically be released from any further obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement upon Closing. No transfer or assignment in violation of the provisions hereof shall be valid or enforceable. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties.

This Agreement is not intended to and does not create any third party beneficiary rights whatsoever.
10.11 Legal Costs. The parties hereto agree that they shall pay directly any and all legal costs which they have incurred on their own behalf in the preparation of this Agreement, all deeds and other agreements pertaining to the Transaction, and that such legal costs shall not be part of the closing costs.

The term “prevailing party” means the party obtaining substantially the relief sought, whether by compromise, settlement or judgment.
10.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document. Executed copies hereof may be delivered by facsimile, PDF or email, and upon receipt, shall be deemed originals and binding upon the parties hereto. Without limiting or otherwise affecting the validity of executed copies hereof that have been delivered by facsimile,
PDF or email, the parties shall use diligent efforts to deliver originals as promptly as possible after execution.

Seller shall have the right to discontinue negotiations and withdraw any draft of this Agreement at any time prior to the full execution and delivery of this Agreement by each party hereto. Purchaser assumes the risk of all costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in any negotiations or due diligence investigations undertaken by Purchaser with respect to the Property.
10.14 No Implied Waivers. No failure or delay of either party in the exercise of any right or remedy given to such party hereunder or the waiver by any party of any condition hereunder for its benefit (unless the time specified in this Agreement for exercise of such right or remedy has expired) shall constitute a waiver of any other or further right or remedy nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof or any other right or remedy. No waiver by either party of any breach hereunder or failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent breach, failure or refusal to so comply.
10.15 Discharge of Seller’s Obligations. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Purchaser’s acceptance of the Special Warranty Deed shall be deemed a discharge of all of the obligations of Seller hereunder and all of Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall merge in the documents and agreements executed at the Closing and shall not survive the Closing, except and to the extent that, pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement, any of such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements are to survive the Closing.
10.16 No Recordation. Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum thereof shall be recorded and any attempted recordation hereof shall be void and shall constitute a default hereunder.
10.17 Unenforceability. If all or any portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and such provision shall be limited and construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof were not contained herein unless doing so would materially and adversely affect a party or the benefits that such party is entitled to receive under this Agreement.
10.18 Waiver of Trial by Jury. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SELLER AND PURCHASER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER ARISING IN TORT OR CONTRACT) BROUGHT BY EITHER AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

If Seller has heretofore filed, or shall hereafter file, applications for the reduction of the assessed valuation of the Property and/or instituted certiorari proceedings to review such assessed valuations for any tax year (“Protest Proceedings”), any cash refunds or proceeds actually distributed (collectively, “Cash Refunds”) will be apportioned as described below. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Seller has filed/instituted such Protest Proceedings in connection with taxes relating to calendar year 2016 (the “2016 Proceedings”), and that notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall
continue to retain the right to pursue such 2016 Proceedings following the Closing. Any Cash Refunds (including interest thereon) on account of a favorable determination, after deduction of costs and expenses incurred for such Protest Proceedings and payment of any reimbursements owing to tenants, shall be: (i) the property of Seller to the extent such Cash Refunds were for taxes paid by Seller applicable to a period prior to the Closing Date, (ii) prorated between Purchaser and Seller for taxes paid for a period during which the Closing Date occurred, and (iii) the property of Purchaser for taxes for a period after the Closing Date.

Purchaser shall have the obligation to refund to tenants in good standing as of the date of such Cash Refund, any portion of such Cash Refund paid to it which may be owing to such tenants.

WHEREAS, the Contract provides for the terms and conditions applicable to the sale and purchase of the Property and the performance obligations and rights of Seller and Purchaser; and
WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser agree, pursuant to the Contract, that Escrowee shall hold, in escrow the Deposit (capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are defined pursuant to Paragraph 6 hereof) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contract and this Agreement. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Contract.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Appointment of Agent.
1.1 Purchaser and Seller hereby appoint Escrowee to act as their escrow agent on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, and Escrowee accepts such appointment.
1.2 Escrowee agrees to hold the Deposit on behalf of the parties to the Contract, and to apply, disburse and deliver the Deposit as provided in the Contract and this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Contract and the terms or conditions of this Agreement, as to the obligations of Escrowee, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern and control.
2. Disposition of the Deposit.
2.1 Escrowee shall hold the Deposit in an interest bearing savings account which rate of interest need not be maximized. Escrowee shall not commingle the Deposit with any other funds.
2.2 Escrowee shall pay the Deposit to Seller or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Contract. If prior to the Closing, either party makes a demand upon Escrowee for delivery of the Deposit, Escrowee shall give notice to the other party of such demand. If a notice of objection to the proposed payment is not received from the other party within seven (7) Business Days after the giving of notice by Escrowee, Escrowee is hereby authorized to deliver the Deposit to the party who made the demand. If Escrowee receives a notice of objection within said period, then Escrowee shall continue to hold the Deposit and thereafter pay it to the party entitled when Escrowee receives (a) notice from the objecting party withdrawing the objection, or (b) a notice signed by both parties directing disposition of the Deposit, or (c) a judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
2.3 Nothing in this Section 2 shall have any effect whatsoever upon Escrowee’s rights, duties, and obligations under Section 3.
3. Concerning Escrowee.
3.1 Escrowee shall be protected in relying upon the accuracy, acting in reliance upon the contents, and assuming the genuineness of any notice, demand, certificate, signature, instrument or other document which is given to Escrowee without verifying the truth or accuracy of any such notice, demand, certificate, signature, instrument or other document;
3.2 Escrowee shall not be bound in any way by any other contract or understanding between Seller and Purchaser, whether or not Escrowee has knowledge thereof or consents thereto unless such consent is given in writing;
3.3 Escrowee’s sole duties and responsibilities shall be to hold and disburse the Deposit in accordance with this Agreement and the Contract; provided, however, that Escrowee shall have no responsibility for the clearing or collection of the check representing the Deposit;
3.4 Upon the disbursement of the Deposit in accordance with this Agreement, Escrowee shall be relieved and released from any liability under this Agreement;
3.5 Escrowee may resign at any time upon at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Seller and Purchaser hereto. If, prior to the effective date of such resignation, Seller and Purchaser hereto shall have approved, in writing, a successor escrow agent, then upon the resignation of Escrowee, Escrowee shall deliver the Deposit to such successor escrow agent. From and after such resignation and the delivery of the Deposit to such successor escrow agent, Escrowee shall be fully relieved of all of its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement, all of which duties, responsibilities and obligations shall be performed by the appointed successor escrow agent. If for any reason Seller and Purchaser shall not approve a successor escrow agent within such period, Escrowee may bring any appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Deposit with a court of competent jurisdiction, pending the approval of a successor escrow agent, and upon such deposit Escrowee shall be fully relieved of all of its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement;
3.6 Seller and Purchaser hereby agree to, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Escrowee from and against any liabilities, damages, losses, costs or expenses incurred by, or claims or charges made against, Escrowee (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) by reason of Escrowee performing its obligations pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement, but in no event shall Escrowee be indemnified for its negligence, willful misconduct or breach of the terms of this Agreement;
3.7 In the event that a dispute shall arise in connection with this Agreement or the Contract, or as to the rights of Seller and Purchaser in and to, or the disposition of, the Deposit, Escrowee shall have the right to (w) hold and retain all or any part of the Deposit until such dispute is settled or finally determined by litigation, arbitration or otherwise, or (x) deposit the Deposit in an appropriate court of law, following which Escrowee shall thereby and thereafter be relieved and released from any liability or obligation under this Agreement, or (y) institute an action in interpleader or other similar action permitted by stakeholders in the State of Texas, or (z) interplead Seller or Purchaser in any action or proceeding which may be brought to determine the rights of Seller and Purchaser to all or any part of the Deposit; and
3.8 Escrowee shall not have any liability or obligation for loss of all or any portion of the Deposit by reason of the insolvency or failure of the institution of depository with whom the escrow account is maintained.
4. Termination.
This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the delivery or disbursement by Escrowee of the Deposit in accordance with the terms of the Contract and terms of this Agreement, as applicable.
5. Notices.
