The Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Deposit”. The Deposit shall be held in an insured, interest-bearing account with interest accruing for the benefit of the Buyer. All interest earned on the Deposit shall be reported to the Internal Revenue Service as the income of Buyer. Buyer shall promptly execute such documents as the Escrow Agent may reasonably request to report properly such income. If Buyer fails to deposit the Initial Deposit in accordance with this Section, this Agreement shall terminate and neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities to the other party arising out of or resulting from this Agreement except as follows: Buyer shall return to Seller: (i) all Property Information (as defined below); and (ii) all information provided by Seller as part of the Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement. In the event Buyer fails to deposit the Initial Deposit in accordance with this Section, Seller’s remedies shall be limited to receipt of such materials, and in no event shall Seller be entitled to the Initial Deposit. Failure to timely deliver the Additional Deposit (after notice and expiration of any applicable cure period) shall constitute a default by Buyer.
1.4.2 The Deposit (and any interest accrued thereon) shall be applied to the Purchase Price if the Closing (as defined below) occurs. Upon delivery of Buyer’s Approval Notice (as defined below), the Deposit shall not be returned to Buyer unless escrow fails to close due to (i) Seller’s breach or default under this Agreement, (ii) a failure of a representation or warranty by Seller to be true and correct as of the Closing, (iii) a failure of a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close, and (iv) any other reason that entitles Buyer to have the Deposit returned as provided for herein, including, without limitation, any reason provided in Sections 3.6, 6.2, 7.1, and 7.2. In the event Buyer shall elect to terminate or shall be deemed to have terminated this Agreement during the Due Diligence Period (as defined below), or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Deposit (and any interest accrued thereon) shall be returned to Buyer as provided in Section 3.6.
1.4.3 The duties of the Escrow Agent with respect to the Deposit are to hold and deposit the Deposit (and any interest accrued thereon) and to disburse the same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If a controversy shall arise between the parties hereto or with any third person after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Escrow Agent may await the outcome of such controversy by final legal proceeding or otherwise as the Escrow Agent may reasonably deem appropriate, or Escrow Agent may institute such interpleader or other proceedings as Escrow Agent may deem proper. The Escrow Agent is executing this Agreement only to evidence its consent to its role as escrow agent and its receipt of the Deposit, and this Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date notwithstanding the date of execution by Escrow Agent. If a controversy shall arise between the parties hereto or with any third person prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer in accordance with Section 3.6 of this Agreement, without any consent required of Seller.
1.4.4 From time to time on and after the date hereof, Seller and Buyer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Escrow Agent such further documents and instruments and shall do and cause to be done such further acts as Escrow Agent shall reasonably request (it being understood that Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to make any such request) to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected in acting hereunder.
1.5 Closing Date. The closing (the “Closing”) of the transaction contemplated herein shall be an escrow style closing to occur on the earlier of the following dates (the "Closing Date”): (i) May 13, 2011; or (ii) such other date as shall be mutually agreed to by Seller and Buyer. Buyer may extend the Closing Date from May 13, 2011 to May 27, 2011 by delivering to Seller a written notice of such extension (an “Extension Notice”) no less than three (3) days prior to May 13, 2011 and, within one (1) Business Day thereafter, depositing Eight Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety Three and No/100 Dollars ($8,893.00) with Escrow Agent (the “Extension Deposit”), which Extension Deposit, together with any interest thereon and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, shall be deemed part of the Deposit for all purposes of this Agreement. In the event that Buyer provides an “Extension Notice” for any Seller Affiliate Purchase Agreement (as such term is defined in such Seller Affiliate Purchase Agreement) such “Extension Notice” shall automatically act as an Extension Notice hereunder without the need for any further action on the part of any party, other than the payment of the “Extension Deposit” for each property subject to a Seller Affiliate Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, a written “Extension Notice” provided by Buyer that extends the “Closing Date” under a Seller Affiliate Purchase Agreement shall extend the Closing Date under this Agreement and Buyer shall not be required to provide a separate Extension Notice to effect the extension of the Closing Date under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 1.5, provided, however that Buyer shall be required to deposit the Extension Deposit under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 2
TITLE AND SURVEY
2.1 Title and Survey. Buyer may, at its option (i) obtain preliminary title reports or commitments (the “Preliminary Report”) from Escrow Agent (referred to herein in such capacity as the “Title Company”), together with legible copies of all recorded encumbrances and exceptions to title, (ii) conduct UCC searches covering Seller and the Property (the “UCC Searches”), and (iii) order a survey of the Real Property by a licensed surveyor or registered professional engineer (the “Survey”).
2.2 Title Objections.

Prior to giving notice of an election not to cure Title and Survey Objections, Seller will consult with Buyer in an attempt to resolve such Title and Survey Objections and if the same is reasonably susceptible of being resolved, will cooperate with Buyer at no cost or expense to Seller except for time in resolving such Title and Survey Objections. If Seller notifies Buyer in accordance with the preceding sentence that Seller is unable or unwilling to cure any of the Title and Survey Objections, then Buyer shall notify Seller and Escrow Agent, within three (3) Business Days following receipt of Seller’s Response Notice, of Buyer’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either terminate this Agreement (whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the parties shall have no further obligations to or recourse against each other except for matters that expressly survive termination) or proceed to Closing and accept title to the Property subject to the Title and Survey Objections, without any abatement of the Purchase Price, or any liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of such Title and Survey Objections. If Buyer fails to notify Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement within three (3) Business Days following receipt of Seller’s Response Notice, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such Title and Survey Objections and the same, if any, shall be deemed acceptable to Buyer hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated, at its sole cost and expense, to satisfy at or prior to Closing all monetary encumbrances affecting the Property evidenced by deeds of trust, tax liens, judgments, mechanics’ liens, or other liens or charges in a fixed sum, and Seller authorizes the use of the Purchase Price or a portion thereof to pay and discharge the same at Closing.

Buyer shall not perform any invasive tests or inspections of the Property without the written consent of Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Seller reserves the right for itself and its representatives to be present for any inspection or test. Buyer shall not permit any liens to attach to the Property by reason of the exercise of its rights hereunder. If any soil or other tests conducted by Buyer affect the surface of the Parcel, Buyer shall restore the surface of the Parcel to substantially the same condition in which the same was found before any tests were undertaken. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller (and Seller’s agents, advisors, partners, members, owners, officers and directors, as the case may be) harmless from any and all liens, claims, causes of action, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of any inspections and investigations by Buyer or Buyer’s Representatives, but in no event shall the indemnity of this Section include the discovery of pre-existing conditions disclosed by Buyer’s investigations.

For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer’s failure to provide the written notice described above shall be deemed an election not to assume any Contract.
3.5 Buyer’s Possible Early Termination. At any time on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to approve or disapprove in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, the Property, the Property Information, or any other matter whatsoever regarding the Property, by providing written notice to Seller disapproving the Property for purposes of this Article 3 (“Disapproval Notice”). Unless Buyer provides Seller with a written notice of its approval of the Property (“Approval Notice”) prior to or on the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the provisions of Section 3.6 shall apply. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Approval Notice shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Buyer of any other rights of termination it may have as set forth herein. In the event that Buyer terminates any Seller Affiliate Purchase Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, such termination shall automatically act as a termination hereunder without the need for any further action on the part of any party. For the avoidance of doubt, a written notice provided by Buyer that terminates a Seller Affiliate Purchase Agreement shall act as a Disapproval Notice hereunder and Buyer shall not be required to provide a separate Disapproval Notice to effect the termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Closing on the Property must occur at the same time and is contingent upon, the Closing under all of the Seller Affiliate Purchase Agreements.

If Buyer provides a Disapproval Notice to Seller pursuant to Section 3.5, this Agreement shall immediately terminate upon the giving of such notice. In the event of either of the foregoing, the parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement (except with respect to any provisions that by their terms survive a termination of this Agreement); provided, however, if either party is in default hereunder at the time of such termination, Article 6 shall additionally apply, nevertheless Escrow Agent shall pay the entire Deposit (and any interest accrued thereon) to Buyer not later than one (1) Business Day following the termination of this Agreement. No notice to Escrow Agent from Seller shall be required for the release of the Deposit to Buyer by Escrow Agent under this Section, and the Deposit (and any interest accrued thereon) shall be released and delivered to Buyer upon Escrow Agent’s receipt of Buyer’s confirmation of termination of the Agreement pursuant to this Article 3, despite any objection or potential objection by Seller.

If Seller fails to agree to cure or fails to cure such condition by the Closing Date, this Agreement shall be automatically terminated, the Deposit (and any interest accrued thereon) shall immediately be returned to Buyer without any further action required from either party and neither party shall have any continuing obligations hereunder; provided, however, if such failure constitutes a breach or default of its covenants, representations or warranties Seller shall remain liable for such breach or default as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

5.8 Costs, Prorations and Credits.
5.8.1 Closing Costs. Buyer and Seller shall each pay their own legal fees related to the preparation of this Agreement and all documents required to settle the transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the costs of (i) transfer taxes, (ii) owner’s title insurance premiums, (iii) endorsements to title insurance policies, (iv) any lender’s title insurance policies, (v) recordation taxes and fees (associated with the transfer of Property by Seller to Buyer), (vi) survey charges, (vii) title searches, and (viii) mortgage taxes, are customarily paid in Arkansas by the party, split between the parties or not applicable to the parties as described in Schedule 5.8.1 annexed hereto, and Buyer and Seller agree to pay such items in accordance with Schedule 5.8.1 annexed hereto (except to the extent Seller has agreed to pay such items in accordance with Article 2, in which case Seller shall be responsible for such costs). In addition to the foregoing, Buyer shall pay all costs associated with its investigation of the Property, including the cost of appraisals, updated surveys, architectural, engineering, credit and environmental reports, and UCC Searches. Buyer and Seller shall share equally the cost of all Title Company escrow charges. Any and all other purchase and sale closing costs shall be paid in accordance with the custom of the local jurisdiction in which the Property is located.
5.8.2 Prorations. The following shall be prorated, credited, debited and adjusted between Seller and Buyer as of 12:01 a.m. on the day of Closing (except as otherwise provided) in accordance with this section. For purposes of calculating prorations, Buyer shall be deemed to be in title to the Property, and therefore entitled to the income and responsible for the expenses, for the entire day upon which the Closing occurs. Except as hereinafter expressly provided, all prorations shall be done on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year and the actual number of days elapsed to the Closing Date or the actual number of days in the month in which the Closing occurs and the actual number of days elapsed in such month to the Closing Date, as applicable.
(a) Base Rents. Buyer will receive a credit at Closing for all rents other than CAM Charges (hereinafter defined) collected by Seller prior to the Closing Date to the extent such rents are allocable to the period from and after the Closing Date based upon the actual number of days in the month. No credit shall be given Seller at Closing for accrued and unpaid rents other than CAM Charges until these sums are paid, and Seller shall retain the right to collect any such rent provided Seller does not ▇▇▇ to evict any Tenants or terminate any Tenant Leases. Buyer shall cooperate with the Seller after the Closing Date to collect any rent under the Tenant Leases which has accrued as of the Closing Date; provided, however, Buyer shall not be obligated to ▇▇▇ any Tenants or exercise any legal remedies under the Tenant Leases or to incur any expense over and above its own regular collection expenses. All rents other than CAM Charges collected from Tenants after the Closing Date by Buyer or Seller shall first be applied to the calendar month in which the Closing occurs (apportioned between Buyer and Seller), then to any rent due to Buyer for the period after the calendar month in which the Closing occurs and finally to any rent due to Seller for the periods prior to the calendar month in which the Closing occurs; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller collects any payments from Tenants after the Closing Date through its own collection efforts, Seller may first apply such payments to rent due Seller for the period prior to the Closing Date.
(b) CAM Expenses. To the extent that Tenants are reimbursing the Seller for common area maintenance and other operating expenses (collectively, “CAM Charge(s)”), CAM Charges shall be prorated at Closing as of the Closing Date on a lease-by-lease basis with each party being entitled to receive a portion of the CAM Charges payable under each Tenant Lease for the CAM Lease Year (as defined below) in which Closing occurs, which portion shall be equal to the actual CAM Charges incurred during the party’s respective periods of ownership of the Property during the CAM Lease Year. As used herein, the term “CAM Lease Year” means the twelve (12) month period as to which annual CAM Charges are owed under each Tenant Lease. Seller shall be responsible for the CAM Charges reconciliation on a lease-by-lease basis for their ownership period within the CAM Lease Year up to, but not including, the Closing Date. Buyer shall be responsible for the CAM Charges reconciliation on a lease-by-lease basis for their ownership period within the CAM Lease Year including the Closing Date. In the event of any expenses, i.e. property taxes, where a proration was based upon an estimate for the year of Closing, a post closing “true up” will be performed for the actual expense to determine Seller’s and Buyer’s obligation for their ownership period for the year of Closing. Each party will be responsible for any CAM Charges “true up” necessary to the extent that any Tenant Lease provides for a “true up”.
(c) Security Deposits, Unpaid Rent Concessions, Unpaid Tenant Improvement Allowances and Other Tenant Credits. To the extent applicable, the amount of all unapplied tenant security deposits, any accrued interest due any Tenant thereon, unpaid rent concessions due under any Tenant Lease, unpaid tenant improvement allowances owing under any Tenant Lease and the amount of any other credits due any Tenant shall be credited to Buyer based on a rental statement prepared by Seller and approved by Buyer (which statement must be consistent with the applicable Tenant Lease, the applicable Tenant Estoppel, and the final rent roll).
(d) Property Taxes. All real property taxes shall be prorated as of the Closing Date on the basis of actual bills if available, otherwise upon the most recent assessment and levy. If the most recent tax assessment and levy is not for the current tax year, then the parties shall reprorate within sixty (60) days of the receipt of the tax assessment and levy for the current tax year. Any and all refunds, credits, claims or rights to appeal respecting the amount of any real property taxes or other taxes or assessments charged in connection with the Property for any period shall belong to Buyer following the Closing and Buyer shall be responsible for any rebates owed to Tenants under any Tenant Lease, except that if prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, the Seller has applied for a property tax refund or has appealed the county assessor’s valuation of the Property for any period of time prior to the Closing Date, then Seller shall be entitled to any refund applicable to such period and Seller shall be responsible for any rebates owed to Tenants under any Tenant Lease.
(e) Private Assessments. Payments due under any assessments imposed by private covenant shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.
(f) Operating Expenses. All operating expenses (including all charges under the Contracts and agreements assumed by Buyer, but not included in CAM Charges) shall be prorated, and as to each service provider, operating expenses payable or paid to such service provider in respect to the billing period of such service provider in which the Closing occurs (the “Current Billing Period”), shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the Current Billing Period prior to the Closing Date and the number of days in the Current Billing Period from and after the Closing Date, and assuming that all charges are incurred uniformly during the Current Billing Period. If actual bills for the Current Billing Period are unavailable as of the Closing Date, then such proration shall be made on an estimated basis based upon the most recently issued bills, subject to readjustment upon receipt of actual bills.
(g) Leasing Commissions. At Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit for any rent concessions that have not been fully utilized at Closing and for any tenant improvement costs or leasing commissions that have not been fully satisfied at Closing.
(h) Ground Lease Payments. Seller shall be responsible for the payment of rent under the Ground Lease for the month in which the Closing occurs. Seller will receive a credit at Closing for a prorated amount of rent paid by Seller for the balance of the month in which the Closing occurs based upon the actual number of days in the month. Seller shall solely be responsible for all rent payable under the Ground Lease for all whole months prior to the month in which the Closing occurs, and Buyer shall be solely responsible for rent payable under the Ground Lease for all whole months after the month in which the Closing occurs.
(i) Other Items. All other items customarily prorated or required by any other provision of this Agreement to be prorated or adjusted.
5.8.3 Items Not Prorated. Seller and Buyer agree that (i) on the Closing Date, the Property will not be subject to any financing arranged by Seller or any other party; (ii) none of the insurance policies relating to the Property will be assigned to Buyer and Buyer shall be responsible for arranging for its own insurance as of the Closing Date; and (iii) utilities, including telephone, electricity, water, and gas, shall be read on the Closing Date and Buyer shall be responsible for all the necessary actions needed to arrange for utilities to be transferred to the name of Buyer on the Closing Date, including the posting of any required deposits and Seller shall be entitled to recover and retain from the providers of such utilities any refunds or overpayments to the extent applicable to the period prior to the Closing Date, and any utility deposits which it or its predecessors may have posted. Accordingly, there will be no prorations for debt service, insurance or utilities. In the event a meter reading is unavailable for any particular utility, such utility shall be prorated in the manner provided in Section 5.8.2(f).
5.8.4 Calculation/Re-prorations. Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date an estimated closing statement which shall set forth all costs payable, and the prorations and credits provided for in this Agreement and to the extent Seller does not timely deliver the estimated closing statement to Buyer, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to extend the Closing Date by the number of days Seller is delinquent in delivering such estimated closing statement to Buyer. Any item which cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available and adjusted when the information is available in accordance with this subsection. Buyer shall notify Seller within two (2) days after its receipt of such estimated closing statement of any items which Buyer disputes and the parties shall attempt in good faith to reconcile any differences not later than one (1) day before the Closing Date. The estimated closing statement as adjusted as aforesaid and approved in writing by the parties shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Statement”. If the prorations and credits made under the Closing Statement shall prove to be incorrect or incomplete for any reason, then either party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same; provided, however, that any adjustment shall be made, if at all, within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date except with respect to CAM Charges, taxes and assessments, in which case such adjustment shall be made within sixty (60) days after the information necessary to perform such adjustment is available), and if a party fails to request an adjustment to the Closing Statement by a written notice delivered to the other party within the applicable period set forth above (such notice to specify in reasonable detail the items within the Closing Statement that such party desires to adjust and the reasons for such adjustment), then the prorations and credits set forth in the Closing Statement shall be binding and conclusive against such party.
5.8.5 Survival. The provisions of this Section 5.8 shall survive the Closing.
5.9 Distribution of Funds and Documents. At Closing, Escrow Agent shall do each of the following:
5.9.1 Payment of Encumbrances. Pay the amount of those monetary liens that are not permitted as part of the Required Title Condition in accordance with the demands approved by Seller, utilizing funds to which Seller shall be entitled upon Closing and funds (if any) deposited in Escrow by Seller.

Record each document received hereunder that is required to be recorded with the real estate records or recorder for the Parcel, and deliver by overnight courier (or as otherwise requested by the intended recipient) (together with the documents set forth in Section 5.9.3) a copy of each recorded document, conformed to show the recording data thereon, to each party hereto.

5.10 Completion of Documents. Escrow Agent is authorized to insert the Closing Date and otherwise to complete the documents deposited in Escrow, where appropriate and consistent with this Agreement.
5.11 Possession. Possession of the Property shall be delivered to Buyer by Seller at the Closing, subject only to the Tenant Leases, the Ground Lease and rights arising under the matters set forth in the Preliminary Report and permitted as part of the Required Title Condition. The Seller and Buyer covenant and agree to execute at Closing a written notice of the acquisition of the Property by Buyer, in sufficient copies for transmittal to each Tenant affected by the sale and purchase of the Property and properly addressed to each Tenant. Such notice shall be prepared by Seller, at Seller’s cost and expense, and approved by Buyer, shall notify the Tenant of the sale and transfer and shall contain appropriate instructions relating to the payment of future rentals, the giving of future notices and other matters reasonably required by Buyer or required by law (each a “Tenant Notice”). Unless a different procedure is required by applicable law, in which event such law shall be controlling, Seller agrees to transmit or otherwise deliver such letters to the Tenants under the Tenant Leases promptly after the Closing.
ARTICLE 6
TERMINATION AND DEFAULT
6.1 Buyer Default. If (a) the sale contemplated hereby is not consummated because of a default by Buyer in its obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (b) Seller has performed or tendered performance of all of its material obligations in accordance with this Agreement, and (c) Seller has provided Buyer written notice of such default(s), then, if Buyer fails to cure such default within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such notice: (i) this Agreement shall terminate; (ii) Buyer shall return all Property Information to Seller; (iii) the Deposit shall be paid to and retained by Seller as liquidated damages; and (iv) Seller and Buyer shall have no further obligations to each other except those which survive the termination of this Agreement. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the damages to Seller in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Buyer would be difficult or impossible to determine, that the amount of the Deposit represents the parties’ best and most accurate estimate of the damages that would be suffered by Seller if the transaction should fail to close and that such estimate is reasonable under the circumstances existing as of the date of this Agreement and under the circumstances that Seller and Buyer reasonably anticipate would exist at the time of such breach. Buyer and Seller agree that Seller’s right to retain the Deposit shall be Seller’s sole remedy, at law and in equity, for Buyer’s failure to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Seller hereby waives any right to an action for specific performance of any provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision will not limit Seller’s right to receive reimbursement for attorneys’ fees pursuant to this Agreement, nor waive or affect Buyer’s indemnity obligations and Seller’s rights to those indemnity obligations under this Agreement.
6.2 Seller Default. If prior to Closing Seller fails to perform any of its material obligations or is otherwise in default hereunder, in either case, after Buyer provides to Seller written notice of such default and Seller fails to cure such default within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such default notice, or if Seller willfully causes the failure of a condition precedent pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof, Buyer shall have the right to exercise any or all of the following remedies:
6.2.1 Waive such failure and proceed to the Closing with no reduction in the Purchase Price; provided, however, that this provision will not limit Buyer’s right to receive reimbursement for attorney’s fees pursuant to Section 9.8 below in connection with any legal proceedings instituted by either party or Escrow Agent with respect to the enforcement of this Agreement, nor waive or affect Seller’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement or Buyer’s rights to enforce those indemnity obligations, nor waive or affect any of the Seller’s other obligations under this Agreement to be performed after the Closing or Buyer’s rights to enforce those obligations.
6.2.2 Exercise any of its other rights or remedies Buyer may have at law or in equity, including without limitation an action for specific performance to cause Seller to convey the Property to Buyer pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
6.2.3 Terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller and Escrow Agent to that effect, to recover the full amount of the Deposit (and any interest accrued thereon), to receive reimbursement of Buyer’s actually incurred out of pocket costs in conjunction with the Agreement and to recover all damages and seek such other relief at law or in equity to which Buyer may be entitled as a result of Seller’s breach. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Buyer shall not be required to fund the balance of the Purchase Price in order to enforce its remedies under this Agreement.
6.2.4 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.2 to the contrary, Buyer shall not be entitled to recover punitive or consequential damages resulting from any breach or default by Seller under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 7
CASUALTY DAMAGE OR CONDEMNATION
7.1 Casualty. Risk of loss to the Property from fire or other casualty shall be borne by Seller until the Closing. In the event of any minor damage or destruction to the Property or any portion thereof, Seller and Buyer shall proceed to close under this Agreement and Buyer will receive (and Seller will assign to Buyer at the Closing, Seller’s rights under insurance policies to receive) any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction and assume responsibility for such repair, and Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible, uninsured or coinsured amount under said insurance policies. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “minor damage or destruction” shall mean such instances of damage or destruction (i) which can be repaired or restored at a cost of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) or less; and (ii) which can be restored and repaired within 120 days from the date of such damage or destruction; and (iii) in which Seller’s rights under its rent loss insurance policy covering the Property (or portions thereof) are assignable to Buyer and will continue pending restoration and repair of the damage or destruction; and (iv) does not permit any Tenant to terminate its Tenant Lease. In the event of such minor damage or destruction and Seller under any provision of this Agreement is unable or refuses to credit to Buyer the amount of such loss, Seller being under no obligation to do so, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and the parties shall have no further obligations to or recourse against each other except for provisions that expressly survive termination of this Agreement.
In the event of any major damage or destruction to the Property or any portion thereof, Buyer may, at its option, by notice to Seller given by the sixtieth (60th) day after Buyer is notified by Seller of such damage or destruction (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Buyer the full period to make such election): (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and the parties shall have no further obligations to or recourse against each other except for provisions that expressly survive termination of this Agreement; or (ii) proceed to close under this Agreement, receive (and, to the extent assignable, Seller will assign to Buyer at the Closing, Seller’s rights under insurance policies to receive) any insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to the period on or after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (less any amounts reasonably expended for restoration or collection of proceeds) and assume responsibility for such repair, and Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible, uninsured or coinsured amount under said insurance policies. If Buyer fails to deliver to Seller notice of its election within the period set forth above, Buyer will conclusively be deemed to have elected to proceed with the Closing as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. If Buyer elects clause (ii) above, Seller will cooperate with Buyer after the Closing to assist Buyer in obtaining the insurance proceeds from Seller’s insurers. For purposes of this Agreement “major damage or destruction” shall mean all instances of damage or destruction that do not constitute minor damage or destruction, as defined herein.
7.2 Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, all or any portion of the Property becomes the subject of a condemnation proceeding or bona fide threat thereof by any party having the power of eminent domain, Seller shall immediately notify Buyer thereof in writing and Buyer may elect in its sole and absolute discretion, to: (i) terminate this Agreement whereupon this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and the parties shall have no further obligations to or recourse against each other except for provisions that expressly survive termination of this Agreement; or (ii) proceed with the transaction contemplated herein, in which event Buyer shall be entitled to receive all proceeds of any award or payment in lieu thereof and, if Buyer makes such election, Seller shall be released of all liability in connection therewith provided, however, Seller will, at Buyer’s expense, reasonably cooperate in the prosecution of any claim for a condemnation award. For purpose of this Section 7.2, “threat” shall mean the receipt of written notice by Seller from a condemning authority.
ARTICLE 8
REAL ESTATE COMMISSION
Buyer and Seller each represent to the other that no broker’s or real estate commissions or other finder’s fees are or shall be due in respect to this transaction by reason of any agreement made or which may be alleged to have been made by Buyer or Seller, except for a commission payable to Savills LLC (“Broker”), pursuant to a separate agreement between Broker and Seller. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any and all claims, demands or the cost or expense thereof, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of any broker’s commission, fee or other compensation due or alleged to be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon an agreement alleged to have been made or other action alleged to have been taken by the indemnifying party.

Either party may consummate the purchase or sale of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (an “Exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code, provided that (i) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of an Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of any Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to a party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) any party desiring an Exchange shall effect its Exchange through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary and the other party shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished or replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating such Exchange; and (iii) the party desiring an Exchange shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by Buyer or Seller had such party not consummated its purchase or sale through an Exchange. Neither party shall by this agreement or acquiescence to an Exchange desired by the other party (1) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or (2) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the other party that such party’s Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Code. In connection with such cooperation, Seller agrees, upon request of Buyer to “direct deed” for actual interests in the Property to a Permitted Successor or Assignee of Buyer.
9.20 Buyer’s Disclosures. Seller acknowledges that it is Buyer’s intention that the ultimate acquirer be an Affiliate of Buyer that is or intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust and that, as such, it is subject to certain filing and reporting requirements in accordance with federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to, regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the provisions of any other existing agreement between the parties hereto to the contrary, Buyer may publically file, disclose, report or publish any and all information related to this transaction that may be reasonably interpreted as being required by federal law or regulation.
9.21 Further Assurances. Subsequent to Closing, each party shall execute and deliver to the other such further documents and instruments as either party may reasonably request of the other in order to confirm or implement the terms of this Agreement (provided the same does not increase the liability of the party so being requested to execute and deliver such further instruments or documents).
9.22 Time for Performance. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement. If the time period by which any right, option or election provided under this Agreement must be exercised, or by which any act required must be performed, or by which the Closing must be held, expires on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then such time period shall be automatically extended through the close of business on the next regular Business Day.
9.23 No Offer. The submission of a draft of this Agreement or a summary of some or all of its provisions does not constitute an offer to buy or to sell the Property, it being understood and agreed that neither Buyer nor Seller shall be legally obligated with respect to the obligations hereunder unless and until this Agreement has been executed by both Buyer and Seller.
9.24 Affiliate. “Affiliate” shall mean any entity that, directly or indirectly (including through one or more intermediaries), controls or is controlled by or is under common control with any other entity, including any subsidiary of an entity. For purposes of this definition, the term “control” (including the correlative meanings of the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as used with respect to any entity, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly (including through one or more intermediaries), of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such entity, through the ownership of voting securities, partnership interests or other equity interests. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, when used with respect to any corporation, the term “Affiliate” shall also include (i) any entity which owns, directly or indirectly (including through one or more intermediaries), fifty percent (50%) or more of any class of security of such corporation; (ii) any subsidiary of such corporation; and (iii) any subsidiary of an entity described in clause (i).
