2. Purchase and Sale of the Property. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, the Property for the Purchase Price.
3. Payment of Purchase Price.
(a) The Purchase Price to be paid by Buyer to Seller shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amount of the Purchase Price plus or minus prorations, credits and adjustments as provided in Section 4 and elsewhere in this Agreement to Escrow Agent, at the time of Closing, or as otherwise agreed to between Buyer and Seller.
(b) The parties agree that the value of the Personalty is de minimis, and no part of the Purchase Price is allocated to it.
4. Proration of Expenses and Payment of Costs and Recording Fees.
(a) Prorations. The following items will be prorated as of 12:01 A.M. on the Closing Date, with all items of income and expense for the Property being borne by Buyer from and after (and including) the Closing Date: Tenant Receivables (hereinafter defined) and other income and rents that have been collected by Seller as of Closing; fees and assessments; prepaid expenses and obligations under service contracts which are assigned, if any; accrued operating expenses; Real Estate Taxes; and any assessments by private covenant for the then-current calendar year of Closing.
(b) Taxes
(i) If Real Estate Taxes for the year of Closing are not known or cannot be reasonably estimated, Real Estate Taxes will be prorated based on Real Estate Taxes for the year prior to Closing. Any additional Real Estate Taxes in the nature of “roll back” taxes or relating to the year of Closing arising out of a change in the use of the Land and Improvements or a change in ownership shall be paid by Seller when due and payable, and Seller will indemnify Buyer from and against any and all such Real Estate Taxes arising out of the transfer of the Property, which indemnification obligation will survive the Closing.
4
(ii) If Seller has engaged or will engage prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, consultants for the purpose of protesting the amount of taxes or the assessed valuation for certain tax periods for the Property (“Protest Proceedings”), any cash refunds or proceeds actually distributed (collectively, “Cash Refunds”) will be apportioned as described below. Any Cash Refunds (including interest thereon) on account of a favorable determination, after deduction of costs and expenses incurred for such Protest Proceedings, shall be: (A) the property of Seller to the extent such Cash Refunds were for Real Estate Taxes paid by Seller applicable to a period prior to the Closing Date; (B) prorated between Buyer and Seller for taxes paid for a period during which the Closing Date occurred; and (C) the property of Buyer for Real Estate Taxes for a period after the Closing Date. Seller and Buyer agree to notify the other in writing of any receipt of a Cash Refund within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of such Cash Refund. To the extent either party obtains a Cash Refund, a portion of which is owed to the other party, the receiving party shall deliver the Cash Refund to the other party within fifteen (15) Business Days of its receipt. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that Seller has the right to initiate proceedings to protest the valuation of any of the Property prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Seller agrees to give Buyer notice of Seller’s intent to initiate such proceedings prior to initiation of such proceedings and at any time subsequent to the end of the Due Diligence Period shall obtain Buyer’s consent to initiation of such proceedings, which consent may be unreasonably withheld.
(c) Utilities. Buyer will take all steps necessary to effectuate the transfer of all utilities to its name as of the Closing Date, and where necessary, post deposits with the utility companies. The Seller will ensure that all utility meters are read as of the Closing Date. Seller will be entitled to recover any and all deposits held by any utility company as of the Closing Date.
(d) Tenant Receivables. Rents due from Tenants under the Leases (including operating expense and real estate tax contributions or reimbursements and similar charges (collectively, “Pass-Through Expenses”)), set-offs due or required to be paid under or by reason of the Leases (collectively called “Tenant Receivables”) shall be adjusted by appropriate credit to the Seller or Buyer (as the case may be) on the Closing Date. If, at the Closing Date, any Tenant is in arrears in the payment of rents (“Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables”), Seller will disclose the same to Buyer in writing or on the rent roll to be delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section 10 hereof and such amounts shall not be adjusted on the Closing Date. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall use Seller’s current business practices to collect Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables. If Buyer shall collect Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, then Buyer shall turn over to Seller the arrearages so collected, less the reasonable cost of collection thereof, if any; provided, however, Seller may continue to seek to collect the Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables by legal action following the Closing Date. All rents collected by Buyer after the Closing Date (except for amounts specifically billed and paid as end of year reconciliation payments for Pass-Through Expenses, which shall be separately accounted for and allocated, pro rata, between Seller and Buyer as their interest may appear) shall be first applied to rents due and payable after the Closing Date and only the excess thereof shall be paid over to Seller on account of the Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables. Seller shall prepare the reconciliation for Pass-Through Expenses for the Property and provide such reconciliation to Buyer and Buyer’s property manager. Buyer agrees to cause its property manager to cooperate with Seller in preparing such reconciliation. To the extent that items to be apportioned hereunder may
5
be required to be paid directly by a Tenant under its Lease, the same shall not be apportioned, provided, however, that such items shall have been paid by such Tenant currently through the month including the Closing Date. The provisions of this subparagraph 4(d) shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Deed (hereinafter defined), and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. Seller expressly agrees that if Seller receives any amounts after the Closing Date which are attributable, in whole or in part, to any period after the Closing Date, Seller will notify Buyer of such fact and will remit to Buyer that portion of the monies so received by Seller to which Buyer is entitled within ten (10) business days after receipt thereof. With respect to unbilled Tenant Receivables, Buyer covenants and agrees to cause its property manager to (A) ▇▇▇▇ the same in the ordinary course of its business and (B) cooperate with Seller to determine the correct amount of operating expenses and/or taxes due.
A reconciliation or determination of Pass-Through Expenses, Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables and unbilled Tenant Receivables due under the Leases shall be made at Closing to the extent possible. To the extent such information is not available at Closing, the foregoing shall be subject to adjustment following the Closing in accordance with the terms of Section 4(e), below. The provisions of this Section 4(d) will survive the Closing.
(e) If final bills are not available or cannot be issued prior to Closing for any item being prorated under Section 4(a) through (d), then, for each separate item for which an adjustment is to be made, the following will apply: (i) initially the matter subject to allocation at Closing (including without limitation the Pass-Through Expenses) shall be re-prorated within sixty (60) days following the Closing; (ii) a further adjustment of prorated items shall occur one hundred twenty (120) days following the close of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs; and (iii) a final adjustment shall occur not later than thirty-six (36) months after the Closing. All such rights and obligations under this Section 4(e) will survive the Closing.
(f) All security deposits under the Leases collected and not properly applied by Seller as of the Closing (and interest thereon if required by law or contract) must be transferred or credited to Buyer at Closing. As of the Closing, Buyer will assume each Seller’s obligations related to the security deposits, but only to the extent they are credited or transferred to Buyer.
(g) Seller shall pay or be charged with the following costs and expenses in connection with this transaction:
(i)100% of all Title Policy premiums, including search costs and a survey endorsement, but excluding any other endorsements issued in connection with such policies other than endorsements that Seller elects to purchase to cover title issues, if any;
(ii)Any transfer taxes and conveyance fees on the sale and transfer of the Property;
(iii)Broker’s commission payments, in accordance with Section 24 of this Agreement;
6
(iv)All fees relating to the granting, executing and recording of the Deed for the Property and for any costs incurred in connection with the release of existing debt, including, but not limited to, prepayment penalty fees and recording fees for documents providing for the release of the applicable Property from the existing debt; and
(v)Any unpaid leasing commissions or tenant improvement allowances or outstanding rent concessions related to the Leases, whether or not due and payable.
(h) Buyer shall pay or be charged with the following costs and expenses in connection with this transaction:
(i)Title Policy premiums for any endorsements issued in connection with such policies other than a survey endorsement and endorsements that Seller elects to purchase to cover title issues, if any;
(ii)all costs and expenses in connection with Buyer’s financing, including appraisal, points, commitment fees and the like and costs for the filing of all documents necessary to complete such financing and related documentary stamp tax and intangibles tax; and
(iii)Buyer shall pay for the cost of its own survey, Phase I environmental study and due diligence investigations.
(i) Each party shall pay its own legal fees incidental to the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
5. Title. At Closing, Seller agrees to convey to Buyer fee simple marketable title to the Property by special warranty deed, free and clear of all liens, defects of title, conditions, easements, assessments, restrictions, and encumbrances except for Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined).
6. Examination of Property. Seller and Buyer hereby agree as follows:
(a) Buyer shall order a title commitment (the “Title Commitment”) from Escrow Agent, a survey and a zoning report for the Property promptly after the date hereof. All matters shown in the Title Commitment, survey or zoning report (“Title Matters”) with respect to which Buyer fails to object prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions”. However, Permitted Exceptions shall not include, and Seller shall be obligated to remove of record prior to or at Closing, any mechanic’s lien or any monetary lien, fine or penalty, or any deeds of trust, mortgage, or other loan documents secured by the Property or any judgments and federal and state tax liens (collectively, “Liens”). Seller shall be required to cure or remove all Liens (by payment, bond deposit or indemnity acceptable to Escrow Agent). Seller agrees to remove or cure any objections of Buyer which are of a nature that are capable of being cured with reasonable efforts prior to Closing, including the payment of a sum of money in connection therewith. Seller shall have no obligation to cure any Title Matter objected to, except the Liens as aforesaid, provided Seller notifies Buyer of any objections which Seller elects not to
7
remove or cure within five (5) business days following receipt of Buyer’s objections. In the event that Seller refuses to remove or cure any objections, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller given within five (5) business days after receipt of Seller’s notice, upon which termination the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, and all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. If any matter not revealed in the Title Commitment is discovered by Buyer or by the Escrow Agent and is added to the Title Commitment by the Escrow Agent at or prior to Closing, Buyer shall have until the earlier of (i) ten (10) days after the Buyer’s receipt of the updated, revised Title Commitment showing the new title exception, together with a legible copy of any such new matter, or (ii) the Closing Date, to provide Seller with written notice of its objection to any such new title exception (an “Objection”). If Seller does not remove or cure such Objection prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may terminate this Agreement, in which case the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Buyer, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all out of pocket costs and expenses incurred hereunder and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.

Additionally, during the term of
8
this Agreement, Buyer, its agents and designees, shall have the right to enter the Property for the purposes of inspecting the Property, conducting soil tests, and making surveys, mechanical and structural engineering studies, inspecting construction, and conducting any other investigations and inspections as Buyer may reasonably require to assess the condition and suitability of the Property; provided, however, that such activities by or on behalf of Buyer on the Property shall not damage the Property nor materially interfere with construction on the Property or the conduct of business by Tenants under the Leases; and provided further, however, that Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims or damages to the extent resulting from the activities of Buyer on the Property, and Buyer shall repair any and all damage caused, in whole or in part, by Buyer and return the Property to substantially its condition prior to such damage, which obligation shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with the efforts of Buyer and the Buyer’s representatives to inspect the Property. After the Effective Date, Buyer shall be permitted to speak and meet with the Tenants in connection with Buyer’s due diligence. Upon signing this Agreement, Seller shall provide Buyer with the name of a contact person(s) for the purpose of arranging site visits. Buyer shall give Seller reasonable written notice (which in any event shall not be less than five (5) business days) before entering the Property, and Seller must have a representative present during any and all examinations, inspections and/or studies on the Property. Buyer shall have the unconditional right, for any reason or no reason, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller and the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which event this Agreement shall become null and void, Buyer shall receive a refund of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, together with all interest earned thereon, and all rights, liabilities and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall expire, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.
(c) It shall be a condition of Closing that Seller shall have obtained estoppel certificates from each Tenant and Guarantor, certified to Buyer, its lender and their successors and assigns, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Estoppel Certificate”).

(d) Seller shall use good faith efforts to obtain a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from each Tenant in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Buyer’s Lender, if applicable (each such agreement, an “SNDA”).
(e) Seller shall use good faith efforts to obtain estoppel certificates with respect to reciprocal easement agreements affecting the Property, as may be reasonably requested by Buyer.
(f) On or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing if Buyer elects not to assume at Closing any of the Contracts (defined below). If Buyer does not notify Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period that it elects not to assume any of the Contracts, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to assume all of
9
the Contracts. If Buyer exercises its right not to assume one or more Contracts at Closing, Seller shall give notice of termination of such disapproved Contract(s); provided, if by the terms of the disapproved Contract Seller has no right to terminate same on or prior to Closing, Buyer shall be required at Closing to assume all obligations thereunder until the effective date of the termination; provided, further, if any fee or other compensation is due under any disapproved Contract as a result of such termination, whether payable before or after the Closing Date, Seller shall remain obligated to pay the contractor or to reimburse Buyer for the payment of the termination charge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall, without notice from Buyer, terminate any and all property management and listing agreements prior to Closing at Seller’s sole cost and expense.

7. Risk of Loss/Condemnation. Upon an occurrence of a casualty, condemnation or taking, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of same. Until Closing, the risk of loss or damage to the Property, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be borne by Seller. In the event all or any portion of the Property is damaged in any casualty or condemned or taken (or notice of any condemnation or taking is issued) so that: (a) any Tenant has a right of termination or abatement of rent under its Leases, whether or not the restoration work shall be timely completed or (b) with respect to any casualty, if the cost to repair such casualty would exceed $50,000, or (c) with respect to any condemnation, any Improvements or access to the Property or more than five percent (5%) of the Property is (or will be) condemned or taken, then, Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of such termination to Seller within ten (10) business days after Buyer’s receipt of written notice of such condemnation, taking or damage, upon which termination, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to the Buyer and neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. With respect to any condemnation or taking (of any notice thereof), if Buyer does not elect to cancel this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing, the rights of Seller to the awards, if any, for the condemnation or taking, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep all such awards. With respect to a casualty, if Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement or does not have the right to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing, the rights of Seller to the proceeds under Seller’s insurance policies covering such Property with respect to such damage or destruction (or pay to Buyer any such proceeds received prior to Closing) and pay to Buyer the amount of any deductible with respect thereto, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep any monies received from such insurance policies.
8. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Disbursement. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be held by Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) If the Closing occurs, Escrow Agent shall deliver the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money to, or upon the instructions of, Seller and Buyer on the Closing Date to be applied as part payment of the Purchase Price. If for any reason the Closing does not occur, Escrow Agent shall deliver the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
10
Money to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this clause (a). Subject to the last sentence of this clause (a), if for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand (the “Demand”) upon Escrow Agent for payment of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of the Demand within one (1) business day after receipt of the Demand. If Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within five (5) business days after the giving of such notice by Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make the payment set forth in the Demand. If Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such period, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (a), if Buyer delivers a notice to Escrow Agent and Seller stating that Buyer has terminated this Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Escrow Agent shall immediately return the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, together with all interest earned thereon, to Buyer without the necessity of delivering any notice to, or receiving any notice from Seller.
(b) The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller or Buyer resulting from Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting the scope or nature of Escrow Agent’s duties. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that Escrow Agent shall hold the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money in escrow and shall disburse the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.
9. Default
(a) In the event that Seller is ready, willing and able to close in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, and Buyer defaults in any of its obligations undertaken in this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to either: (i) if Buyer is willing to proceed to Closing, waive such default and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; or (ii) declare this Agreement to be terminated, and Seller shall be entitled to immediately receive all of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money as liquidated damages as and for Seller’s sole remedy. Upon such termination, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Seller and Buyer agree that (a) actual damages due to Buyer’s default hereunder would be difficult and inconvenient to ascertain and that such amount is not a penalty and is fair and reasonable in light of all relevant circumstances, (b) the amount specified as liquidated damages is not disproportionate to the damages that would be suffered and the costs that would be incurred by Seller as a result of having withdrawn the
11
Property from the market, and (c) Buyer desires to limit its liability under this Agreement to the amount of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money paid in the event Buyer fails to complete Closing, and such amount shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages and as Seller’s sole remedy hereunder. Seller hereby waives any right to recover the balance of the Purchase Price, or any part thereof, and the right to pursue any other remedy permitted at law or in equity against Buyer. In no event under this Section or otherwise shall Buyer be liable to Seller for any punitive, speculative or consequential damages.
(b) In the event of a default in the obligations herein taken by Seller, Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either: (i) waive any unsatisfied conditions and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; (ii) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller no later than Closing, upon which termination the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, together with all interest earned therein, shall be refunded to Buyer, Seller shall pay to Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer up to an amount of $20,000.00 in connection with this Agreement, which return and payment shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller and Buyer from any and all liability hereunder, except those which are specifically stated herein to survive any termination hereof; (iii) enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder; or (iv) by notice to Seller given on or before the Closing Date, extend the Closing Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days (the “Closing Extension Period”) to permit Seller to remedy any such default, and the “Closing Date” shall be moved to the last day of the Closing Extension Period. If Buyer so extends the Closing Date, then Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, cause said conditions to be satisfied during the Closing Extension Period. If Seller does not cause said conditions to be satisfied during the Closing Extension Period, then Buyer shall have the remedies set forth in Section 9(b) (i) through (iii) above, except that the term “Closing” shall read “Extended Closing.”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a willful or intentional default of Seller hereunder, Buyer shall, in addition to the foregoing remedies, be permitted to pursue any and all rights and remedies available to Buyer at law or in equity; provided, however, in no event shall Seller be liable to Buyer for any punitive, speculative or indirect consequential damages.
10. Closing. The Closing shall consist of the execution and delivery of documents by Seller and Buyer, as set forth below, and delivery by Buyer to Seller of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Seller shall deliver to Escrow Agent for the benefit of Buyer at Closing the following executed documents:
(a) A Special Warranty Deed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Deed”);
(b) An Assignment and Assumption of Leases, Guaranties and Security Deposits, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C;

13
(s) Such other instruments as are reasonably required by Escrow Agent to close the escrow and consummate the purchase of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof.
At Closing, Buyer shall instruct Escrow Agent to deliver the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, together with all interest earned thereon, to Seller, which shall be applied to the Purchase Price, shall deliver the balance of the Purchase Price to Seller and shall execute and deliver execution counterparts of the closing documents referenced in clauses (b), (g), (h) and (m). Buyer shall have the right to advance the Closing upon five (5) days’ prior written notice to Seller; provided that all conditions precedent to both Buyer’s and Seller’s respective obligations to proceed with Closing under this Agreement have been satisfied (or, if there are conditions to a party’s obligation to proceed with Closing that remain unsatisfied, such conditions have been waived by such party). Buyer shall have a one-time right to extend the Closing for up to fifteen (15) business days upon written notice to Seller to be received by Seller on or prior to the date scheduled for the Closing. If Buyer timely exercises this right to extend, any document that Seller is obligated to provide that is “time sensitive” does not need to be provided again by Seller. The Closing shall be held through the mail, by delivery in escrow of the closing documents to the Escrow Agent, on or prior to the Closing or such other place or manner as the parties hereto may mutually agree.

Seller shall provide Buyer and/or its auditors, but without expense to Seller, with copies of, or access to, such factual and financial information as may be reasonably requested by Buyer or its designated accountants, and in the possession or control of Seller, to enable Buyer to file any filings required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the purchase of the Property.

17. Performance on Business Days. A "business day" is a day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday recognized by the Federal Government.

18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement among the parties hereto and no modification of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed by all parties hereto. No prior agreement or understanding pertaining to the subject matter hereof (including, without limitation, any letter of intent executed prior to this Agreement) shall be valid or of any force or effect from and after the date hereof.
19. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall be invalid or unenforceable, at any time or to any extent, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby. Each provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
20. No Representations or Warranties. Buyer hereby acknowledges, understands and agrees that it has an opportunity to inspect the Property as set forth in Section 6 herein, and except as set forth in this Agreement, the Property shall be conveyed at Closing to Buyer in “as-is” condition with no representation or warranties whatsoever.
21. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the State or Commonwealth in which the Property is located, without giving effect to any state's conflict of laws principles.
22. Tax-Deferred Exchange. Buyer and Seller respectively acknowledge that the purchase and sale of the Property contemplated hereby may be part of a separate exchange (an “Exchange”) being made by each party pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated with respect thereto. In the event that either party (the “Exchanging Party”) desires to effectuate such an exchange, then the other party (the “Non-Exchanging Party”) agrees to cooperate fully with the Exchanging Party in order that the Exchanging Party may effectuate such an exchange; provided, however, that with respect to such Exchange (a) all additional costs, fees and expenses related thereto shall be the sole responsibility of, and borne by, the Exchanging Party; (b) the Non-Exchanging Party shall incur no additional liability as a result of such exchange; (c) the contemplated exchange shall not delay any of the time periods or other obligations of the Exchanging Party hereby, and without limiting the foregoing,
20
the scheduled date for Closing shall not be delayed or adversely affected by reason of the Exchange; (d) the accomplishment of the Exchange shall not be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the Exchanging Party's obligations under the Agreement; and (e) the Non-Exchanging Party shall not be required to hold title to any land other than the Property for purposes of the Exchange. The Exchanging Party agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Non-Exchanging Party harmless from any and all liability, damage or cost, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees that may result from Non-Exchanging Party's cooperation with the Exchange. The Non-Exchanging Party shall not, by reason of the Exchange, (i) have its rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any representations, warranties and covenants made by the Exchanging Party in this Agreement (including but not limited to any warranties of title, which, if Seller is the Exchanging Party, shall remain warranties of Seller), or in any of the closing documents (including but not limited to any warranties of title, which, if Seller is the Exchanging Party, shall remain warranties of Seller) contemplated hereby, adversely affected or diminished in any manner, or (ii) be responsible for compliance with or deemed to have warranted to the Exchanging Party that the Exchange complies with Section 1031 of the Code.
23. Broker’s Commissions. Buyer and Seller each hereby represent that, except for the Broker listed herein, there are no other brokers involved or that have a right to proceeds in this transaction. Seller shall be responsible for payment of commissions to the Broker pursuant to a separate written agreement executed by Seller. Seller and Buyer each hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from all loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees at both trial and appellate levels) incurred by the other as a result of any claim arising out of the acts of the indemnifying party (or others on its behalf) for a commission, finder's fee or similar compensation made by any broker, finder or any party who claims to have dealt with such party (except that Buyer shall have no obligations hereunder with respect to any claim by Broker). The representations, warranties and indemnity obligations contained in this section shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
24. Assignment. Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement, provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder until Closing is complete. Buyer is entering into this Agreement for and on behalf of a related special purpose entity titled ARHC WLWBYMN01, LLC (“Approved Assignee”) and intends to assign Approved Assignee its rights hereunder prior to Closing.
25. Attorneys’ Fees. In any action between Buyer and Seller as a result of failure to perform or a default under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party, and the other party shall pay to the prevailing party, the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs incurred in such action.
26. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each of Buyer’s and Seller’s obligations hereunder.
27. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become a binding agreement when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party. Signatures on this Agreement which are transmitted electronically shall be valid for all
21
purposes, however any party shall deliver an original signature on this Agreement to the other party upon request.
28. Anti-Terrorism. Neither Buyer or Seller, nor any of their affiliates, are in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law (as hereinafter defined) or engages in or conspires to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law. “Anti-Terrorism Laws” shall mean any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, including: Executive Order No. 13224; the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56, as the same has been, or may hereafter be, renewed, extended, amended or replaced; the applicable laws comprising or implementing the Bank Secrecy Act; and the applicable laws administered by the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (as any of the foregoing may from time to time be amended, renewed, extended, or replaced).
