Purchaser and its representatives shall be permitted to enter upon the Property at any reasonable time and from time to time during the Due Diligence Period to examine, inspect and investigate the Property as well as all records and other documentation provided by Seller or located at the Property (collectively, "Due Diligence"). The Due Diligence shall be subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Section 3.2 and Purchaser's conduct thereof shall be in strict compliance with its covenants and agreements contained herein.

(i) Sections 3.2(e) and 3.2(f) and such provisions in this Agreement designated as surviving shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement (collectively, the "Surviving Obligations").
3.3 Title and Survey. Seller shall, at Seller's sole cost and expense, obtain and deliver to Purchaser for Purchaser's review a Texas standard form of Title Commitment for Title Insurance along with a copy of each instrument listed as an exception thereon (the "Title Commitment") on the Real Property issued by the Title Company and the Existing Survey. During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall have the right to obtain, at its sole cost and expense, any desired endorsements to the Title Commitment which are available. During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser may elect to obtain at Purchaser's sole cost and expense an amendment to the Existing Survey (the "Amended Survey"). Purchaser shall have until December 20, 2012 (such date being referred to as the "Title Review Date") for examination of Title Commitment and Existing Survey and the making of any objections thereto, said objections to be made in writing and delivered to Seller on or before the Title Review Date. If Purchaser shall fail to make any objections on or before the Title Review Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted all exceptions to the Title Commitment and the form and substance of the Existing Survey and all matters shown thereon; all such exceptions and matters and any exceptions or matters caused by or through Purchaser shall be included in the term "Permitted Exceptions" as used herein. In the event Purchaser elects to obtain the Amended Survey, then Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period for examination of the Amended Survey and the making of objections only to matters shown thereon that were not shown on the Existing Survey, such objections to be made in writing and delivered to Seller on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period along with a copy of the Amended Survey. If Purchaser shall fail to make any such objections to the Amended Survey on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the form and substance of the Amended
Survey and all matters shown thereon; all such exceptions and matters and any exceptions or matters caused by or through Purchaser shall be included as Permitted Exceptions. If any objections to (i) the Title Commitment or Existing Survey are made on or before the Title Review Date, or (ii) the Amended Survey with respect to matters not shown on the Existing Survey are made on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to (w) cure (by removal, endorsement or otherwise) such objections on or before the Closing Date or (x) terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Purchaser on or before the date which is two (2) business days after the Due Diligence Period. If no such notice from Seller concerning such election is received by Purchaser by such date, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any such objections. If this Agreement is not so terminated by Seller, and any such objections are not cured by Seller by the scheduled Closing Date, then Purchaser may as its only option, elect to either: (y) waive such objection(s) and consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without adjustment to the Purchase Price; or (z) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations to the other party except for the Surviving Obligations.
3.4 Tenant Estoppels. Seller shall have delivered to Purchaser, no later than three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, estoppel certificates, substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto or in the form of estoppel required under such tenant's lease or on a national tenant's estoppel form, from (a) all tenants leasing in excess of 7,000 square feet (the "Major Tenants"), (b) each of Apple and Lululemon (collectively, the "Identified Tenants"), and (c) additional tenants such that along with the estoppel certificates from the Major Tenants and the Identified Tenants, Purchaser shall have received estoppel certificates from at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the square footage of the Property currently leased. The requirements set forth in this Section 3.4 are referred to herein as the "Tenant Estoppel Requirements." For purposes of the foregoing, a tenant shall not be considered to be leasing the Property if the term of its lease is month-to-month or expires within six (6) months after the Closing Date. An estoppel certificate shall not fail to qualify as an acceptable estoppel certificate if the applicable tenant (1) inserts "to tenant's knowledge" or "in all material respects" or other similar knowledge or materiality qualification to any of the statements contained in its estoppel certificate; (2) delivers an estoppel certificate that does not contain any more information than that which the tenant is required to give under its Lease; or (3) inserts "approximately" or other similar qualification to the amount of square feet leased by the tenant. Seller shall not be in default under this Agreement or have any liability to Purchaser if Seller is unable to obtain any of the foregoing described estoppel certificates. If Seller does not satisfy the Tenant Estoppel Requirements by the date that is three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, then upon written notice to the other, either party has the right to extend the Closing Date twice by up to one (1) week per extension to provide additional time for Seller to satisfy the Tenant Estoppel Requirements provided that the Closing Date shall not be extended by more than a total of two (2) weeks. If Seller does not satisfy the Tenant Estoppel Requirements by the second extended Closing Date, then Purchaser may elect to either (y) waive the Tenant Estoppel Requirements and proceed to Closing without adjustment to the Purchase Price or (z) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4.

5. Prorations. All items of income and expense shall be paid, prorated or adjusted as of the close of business on the day prior to the Closing Date (the "Proration Date") in the manner hereinafter set forth:

5.2 All rents and Tenant Contributions for the month of Closing shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller based upon their respective days of ownership for such month in which the Closing occurs. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall receive credit at Closing for any payments of rental obligations due but not paid as of the Proration Date. At the time of the final calculation and collection from tenants of Tenant Contributions for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, whether in the nature of a reconciliation payment or full payment, in arrears, there shall be a reproration between Purchaser and Seller as to the Tenant Contributions. Such reproration shall not be made on the basis of a per diem method of allocation, but shall instead be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser on the basis of the relative share of actual expenses in question incurred by Seller and Purchaser for their respective period of ownership during the calendar year in question. Seller covenants to provide Purchaser with any information necessary to finalize such calculation.
5.3 Percentage rent, if any, shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller by utilizing the percentage rent payable for such lease year based upon the actual days of ownership of the Property. There shall be no adjustment for percentage rent payments until after the receipt of any percentage rent payments made by the respective tenants.
5.4 Purchaser covenants to bill tenants for amounts due from tenants attributable to periods prior to Closing (including, without limitation, delinquencies and sums due with respect to the reconciliation of Tenant Contributions for (x) the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, and (y) the prior calendar year if Seller does not complete same prior to Closing providing Seller prepares and provides Purchaser with the statements to be billed to each tenant for the prior year) and diligently pursue collections from tenants. Any amounts received from tenants after Closing shall be applied on a tenant by tenant basis in the following order: (i) first on account of any amount then due and payable or past-due and payable to Purchaser from such tenant, (ii) next, on account of any amount due Seller from such tenant for the period up to and including the Proration Date and (iii) finally, any balance then remaining to Purchaser. Seller retains the right to pursue its remedies against tenants after Closing for any delinquent payments or other amounts owed to Seller, except for actions or proceedings affecting possession or landlord liens. However, Seller will not exercise any such rights or remedies unless such amounts have not been collected by Purchaser and paid to Seller within three (3) months after such amounts were due and payable to Seller. Any money due to Seller under Sections 5.2, 5.3 or this Section 5.4 shall be remitted to Seller within ten (10) business days after
the end of each month in which Purchaser receives such money. Any money due to Purchaser under Sections 5.2, 5.3 or this Section 5.4 shall be remitted to Purchaser within ten (10) business days after the end of each month in which Seller receives such money.
5.5 Operating expenses, including, without limitation, any prepaid expenses such as permits, licenses and membership dues, shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller based upon the actual days of their respective ownership of the Property utilizing the actual expenses or reasonable estimates.
5.6 Real estate taxes shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser based upon the actual days of ownership of the parties for the year in which Closing occurs utilizing the most recent ascertainable tax bill(s). Seller and Purchaser agree to reprorate said real estate taxes upon Purchaser's receipt of the actual tax bill for the tax year in question, if any. Seller reserves the right to continue to contest any assessment of the Property or any portion thereof and to attempt to obtain a refund for any taxes previously paid. Seller shall retain all rights with respect to any refund of taxes (net of any refunds due tenants for taxes collected from tenants) applicable to any period prior to the Closing Date.
5.7 Except for utilities billed directly to tenants, utilities shall be prorated as of the Proration Date based upon estimates using the prior month's actual invoices.
5.8 Purchaser shall be responsible for and pay for all "Leasing Costs" which shall include: (a) the cost of all tenant improvements, (b) all leasing commissions, (c) all space planning costs, and (d) all legal costs, that are due and payable as a result of Leases made pursuant to: (i) Existing Proposals listed on Schedule 4 attached hereto which Purchaser is hereby deemed to have approved, and (ii) any New Proposal which Purchaser approved, or is deemed to have approved as provided in Section 15 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for the tenant improvement allowances and the leasing commissions in connection with the pending lease proposals with Free People of Pennsylvania and Union Pacific Café, whether or not such new Leases are signed prior to Closing. If Seller does not enter into a lease with Free People of Pennsylvania prior to Closing, then Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of Thirty-One Thousand Seven Hundred Ten and No/100 Dollars ($31,710.00). If Seller does not enter into a lease with Union Pacific Café prior to Closing, then Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of Fifty-One Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($51,000.00).
5.9 All insurance policies and property management agreements shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and there shall be no proration with respect to these items.
All other items which are customarily prorated in transactions similar to the transaction contemplated hereby and which were not heretofore dealt with, will be prorated as of the Proration Date. In the event any prorations or computations made under this Section are based on estimates or prove to be incorrect, then either party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same, provided that it makes written demand on the party from whom it is entitled to such adjustment within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs except for Tenant Contributions and percentage rents not yet collected. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims and costs (including
reasonable attorney fees, court costs and litigation expenses) (i) in connection with Purchaser's assumption of responsibility for the Leasing Costs as provided in Section 5.8 herein, including but not limited to any and all obligations under third party contracts assumed by Purchaser as provided by Sections 4.3 (a) (iv) hereof; and (ii) for which Purchaser received credits pursuant to this Section 5. The indemnity set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and the covenants contained in this Section 5 shall survive Closing.

6.1 Power. Seller has the legal power, right and authority to enter into this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
6.2 Requisite Action.

14. Fire or Other Casualty; Condemnation.
14.1 If the Property or any part thereof is damaged by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date which would cost in excess of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00) to repair (as determined by an insurance adjuster selected by the insurance carriers), Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given on or before the earlier of (i) twenty (20) days following such casualty or (ii) the Closing Date. In the event of such termination, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and, except for the Surviving Obligations, neither party shall thereafter have any further obligation under this Agreement, and Seller shall direct the Escrow Company to promptly return all Earnest Money to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement or the cost of repair is determined by said adjuster to be less than Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00), then the Closing shall take place as herein provided without abatement of the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign and transfer to Purchaser on the Closing Date, without warranty or recourse, all of Seller's right, title and interest to the balance of insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller on account of such fire or casualty remaining after reimbursement to Seller for the total amount of all costs and expenses incurred by Seller in connection therewith including but not limited to making emergency repairs, securing the Property and complying with applicable governmental requirements. Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of the deductible of any of Seller's applicable insurance policies.
14.2 If any material portion of the Property is taken in eminent domain proceedings prior to Closing, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller given on or before the earlier of (i) twenty (20) days after such taking or (ii) the Closing Date, and, in the event of such termination, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and, except for the Surviving Obligations, neither party shall thereafter have any further obligation under this Agreement, and Seller shall direct the Escrow Company to promptly return all Earnest Money to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not so elect to terminate or if the taking is not material, then the Closing shall take place as herein provided without abatement of the Purchase Price, and Seller shall deliver or assign to Purchaser on the Closing Date, without warranty or recourse, all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to all condemnation awards paid or payable to Seller.
15. Operations After Date of This Agreement. Seller covenants and agrees with Purchaser that:
(a) after the date hereof through the Closing, Seller will (except as specifically provided to the contrary herein):
(i) Refrain from transferring any of the Property or creating on the Property any easements or mortgages which will survive Closing or permitting any changes to the zoning classification of the Land;
(ii) Refrain from entering into or amending any contracts, or other agreements (excluding leases) regarding the Property (other than contracts in the ordinary and usual course of business and which are cancelable by the owner of the Property without penalty within thirty (30) days after giving notice thereof);
(iii) Continue to operate, maintain, and repair the Property in a manner consistent with Seller's current practices;
(iv) Comply with the material terms of the Leases;
(v) Refrain from offering the Property for sale or marketing the same; and
(vi) Deliver or make available to Purchaser copies of all new Leases entered into after the date hereof and copies of all Proposals entered into after this date (the "New Proposals").
(b) after the date hereof through the Closing, Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (except where such consent is deemed granted as provided in this Agreement) (i) amend any Leases, (ii) cancel any Leases, or (iii) execute any new leases; provided, however, that Seller shall be permitted to enter into, and Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved and consented to, any lease agreement or amendment that is required pursuant to an existing Lease or memorializes the exercise of an existing right or option under an existing Lease. Purchaser shall have five (5) days from its receipt of any New Proposal to notify Seller in writing of its approval or rejection of any such New Proposal. If no such notice is received by Seller within such period then Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved any such New Proposal. Seller shall have the right to execute lease documents evidencing an Existing Proposal or a New Proposal approved or deemed approved by Purchaser as provided in this Agreement.
16. Assignment. Purchaser shall not assign this Agreement without Seller's prior written consent which consent may be withheld for any reason or no reason, provided however, that on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement to Glimcher Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust ("GRT") or to any entity that owns or is owned in whole or in part by Purchaser, GRT, or to a venture of which Purchaser, GRT or an affiliate is a member. Any assignment shall be conditioned upon Seller's receipt of a duly executed express assumption of all of the duties and obligations of Purchaser by the proposed assignee in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller not less than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date. Any such assignment shall not release Purchaser from its obligations under this Agreement until Closing occurs. This Agreement shall apply to, inure to the benefit of and be binding upon and enforceable against the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
17. Remedies.
(a) (i) IN THE EVENT THAT SELLER SHALL FAIL TO CONSUMMATE THIS AGREEMENT AND SUCH FAILURE IS NOT A RESULT OF PURCHASER'S DEFAULT OR A TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER OR SELLER PURSUANT TO A RIGHT TO DO SO UNDER THE PROVISIONS HEREOF, PURCHASER, IN THE CASE WHERE SUCH FAILURE IS BASED UPON A VOLUNTARY BREACH BY SELLER ("SELLER'S DEFAULT"), SHALL, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, BE ENTITLED TO EITHER: (A) SEEK THE REMEDY OF SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, OR (B) TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RECEIVE A REFUND OF THE EARNEST MONEY. IN NO EVENT SHALL
SELLER BE LIABLE TO PURCHASER FOR ANY DAMANGES INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. IN THE CASE WHERE SUCH FAILURE IS BASED UPON AN INVOLUNTARY BREACH BY SELLER, PURCHASER, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RECEIVE A REFUND OF THE EARNEST MONEY. EXCEPT IN CONNECTION WITH THE REMEDY OF SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, PURCHASER SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECORD A LIS PENDENS OR NOTICE OF PENDENCY OF ACTION AGAINST THE PROPERTY FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER.
(ii) PURCHASER SHALL (A) NOTIFY SELLER OF ITS ELECTION TO SEEK THE REMEDY OF SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE ON OR BEFORE THE DATE WHICH IS FORTY FIVE (45) DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF A SELLER'S DEFAULT AND (B) INSTITUTE PROCEEDINGS SEEKING SUCH REMEDY ON OR BEFORE THE DATE WHICH IS THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF PURCHASER'S NOTICE.
(iii) PURCHASER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED ITS ELECTION TO SEEK THE REMEDY OF SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE IF PURCHASER DOES NOT (x) NOTIFY SELLER OF SUCH ELECTION AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 17(a)(ii) (A) HEREINABOVE, OR (y) INSTITUTE PROCEEDINGS, SEEKING SUCH REMEDY AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 17(a)(ii)(B) HEREINABOVE.
(iv) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS SECTION 17(a) TO THE CONTRARY, FAILURE OF A CONDITION PRECEDENT SHALL NOT BE A DEFAULT HEREUNDER OR ENTITLE PURCHASER TO ANY REMEDY, AND SHALL ONLY ENTITLE PURCHASER TO A REFUND OF THE EARNEST MONEY TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
(b) IN THE EVENT THAT AFTER THE INITIAL EARNEST MONEY HAS BECOME NONREFUNDABLE, PURCHASER SHOULD FAIL TO CONSUMMATE THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY REASON, EXCEPT SELLER'S DEFAULT OR THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER OR SELLER PURSUANT TO A RIGHT TO DO SO UNDER THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS HEREOF, THEN SELLER, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY NOTIFYING PURCHASER THEREOF AND RECEIVE OR RETAIN THE EARNEST MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, PROVIDED THAT THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT LIMIT SELLER'S RIGHTS TO PURSUE AND RECOVER ON A CLAIM WITH RESPECT TO ANY SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT SELLER WILL SUFFER DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF PURCHASER'S DEFAULT ON ITS OBLIGATIONS. ALTHOUGH THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES IS DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE EARNEST MONEY IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER'S LOSS IN THE EVENT OF PURCHASER'S DEFAULT. THUS, SELLER SHALL ACCEPT AND RETAIN THE EARNEST MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES BUT NOT AS A PENALTY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 17(b), SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SHALL CONSTITUTE SELLER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. IN THE EVENT SELLER IS ENTITLED TO THE EARNEST MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, PURCHASER AGREES TO TAKE ALL SUCH ACTIONS AND EXECUTE AND DELIVER ALL
SUCH DOCUMENTS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO EFFECT SUCH PAYMENT. IN THE EVENT SELLER SUCCESSFULLY BRINGS SUIT OR ACTION TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING PROVISION, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM PURCHASER ITS ACTUAL ATTORNEYS' FEES, COURT COSTS AND LITIGATION EXPENSES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
SELLER AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE PROVISIONS OF THE FOREGOING LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS.
