TITLE AND SURVEY
Section 2.1Title Inspection Period. During the period beginning upon the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. (local time at the Property) on the date that is fourteen (14) days after the Effective Date (hereinafter referred to as the "Title Inspection Period"), Purchaser shall have the right to review the following, all of which Purchaser acknowledges have been provided to Purchaser: (a) a current preliminary title report on the Real Property, accompanied by copies of all documents referred to in the report; (b) copies of the most recent property tax bills for the Property; and (c) a current ALTA survey of the Real Property (the "Survey").
Section 2.2Title Examination. Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing (the "Title Notice") prior to the expiration of the Title Inspection Period which exceptions to title (including survey matters), if any, will not be accepted by
2
Purchaser. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller in writing of its disapproval of any exceptions to title by the expiration of the Title Inspection Period, Purchaser shall be conclusively deemed to have approved the condition of title to the Real Property. If Purchaser notifies Seller in writing that Purchaser objects to any exceptions to title, Seller shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Title Notice to notify Purchaser (a) that Seller will remove such objectionable exceptions from title on or before the Closing; provided that Seller may extend the Closing for such period as shall be required to effect such cure, but not beyond thirty (30) days; or (b) that Seller elects not to cause such exceptions to be removed. The procurement by Seller of a commitment for the issuance of the Title Policy (as defined in Section 2.5 hereof) or an endorsement thereto (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) insuring Purchaser against any title exception which was disapproved pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be deemed a cure by Seller of such disapproval. If Seller gives Purchaser notice under clause (b) above, Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days in which to notify Seller that Purchaser will nevertheless proceed with the purchase and take title to the Property subject to such exceptions, or that Purchaser will terminate this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, then neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for any indemnity obligations of either party pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement), $250,000 of the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, the other $250,000 of the Deposit shall be released to Seller, and each party shall bear its own costs incurred hereunder. If Purchaser shall fail to notify Seller of its election within said five-day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with the purchase and take title to the Property subject to such exceptions.
Section 2.3Pre‑Closing "Gap" Title Defects‑. Purchaser may, at or prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing (the "Gap Notice") of any objections to title (a) raised by the Title Company (as defined in Section 2.5 hereof) between the expiration of the Title Inspection Period and the Closing and (b) not disclosed by the Title Company or otherwise known to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Title Inspection Period; provided that Purchaser must notify Seller of such objection to title within two (2) Business Days of being made aware of the existence of such exception. If Purchaser sends a Gap Notice to Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall have the same rights and obligations with respect to such notice as apply to a Title Notice under Section 2.2 hereof.
Section 2.4Permitted Exceptions. The Property shall be conveyed subject to the following matters, which are hereinafter referred to as the "Permitted Exceptions":
(a) those matters that either are not objected to in writing within the time periods provided in Sections 2.2 or 2.3 hereof, or if objected to in writing by Purchaser, are those which Seller has elected not to remove or cure, or has been unable to remove or cure, and subject to which Purchaser has elected or is deemed to have elected to accept the conveyance of the Property;
(b)the rights of tenants under the Leases;
(c)the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable as of the date of Closing, subject to adjustment as herein provided;
3
(d)local, state and federal laws, ordinances or governmental regulations, including but not limited to, building and zoning laws, ordinances and regulations, now or hereafter in effect relating to the Property; and
(e)items shown on the Survey and not objected to by Purchaser or waived or deemed waived by Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof.
Section 2.5Conveyance of Title. At Closing, Seller shall convey and transfer to Purchaser fee simple title to the Land and Improvements, by execution and delivery of the Deed (as defined in Section 4.2(a) hereof). Evidence of delivery of such title shall be the issuance by First American Title Insurance Company (the "Title Company"), or another national title company, of an ALTA Owner's Policy of Title Insurance (the "Title Policy") covering the Real Property, in the full amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.
REVIEW OF PROPERTY
Section 3.1Right of Inspection. During the period beginning upon the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. (local time at the Property) on the date that is twenty-one days after the Effective Date (hereinafter referred to as the "Inspection Period"), Purchaser shall have the right to make a physical inspection of the Real Property, including an inspection of the environmental condition thereof pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and to examine at the Property (or the property manager's office, as the case may be) documents and files located at the Property or the property manager's office concerning the leasing, maintenance and operation of the Property (including without limitation, copies of permits, licenses, certificates of occupancy, plans and specifications, and insurance certificates related to the Property, to the extent in Seller’s or the property manager’s possession), but excluding Seller's partnership or corporate records, internal memoranda, financial projections, budgets, appraisals, accounting and tax records and similar proprietary, confidential or privileged information (collectively, the "Confidential Documents").
Purchaser understands and agrees that any on‑site inspections of the Property shall occur at reasonable times agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser after reasonable prior written notice to Seller and shall be conducted so as not to interfere unreasonably with the use of the Property by Seller or its tenants. Seller reserves the right to have a representative present during any such inspections. If Purchaser desires to do any invasive testing at the Property, including without limitation a Phase II environmental study or testing which would otherwise damage or disturb any portion of the Property, Purchaser shall do so only after notifying Seller and obtaining Seller's prior written consent thereto, which consent may be subject to any terms and conditions imposed by Seller in its sole discretion, including without limitation, providing Seller with evidence of insurance in form and substance satisfactory to Seller and the prompt restoration of the Property to its condition prior to any such inspections or tests, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense. In no event shall Purchaser provide any governmental entity or agency with information concerning the environmental condition of the Property without obtaining Seller's prior written consent thereto, which Seller agrees to provide in the
4
event that Purchaser is required by applicable law to provide such information to a governmental entity or agency. At Seller's option, Purchaser will furnish to Seller copies of any reports received by Purchaser relating to any inspections of the Property, at no cost to Seller. Purchaser agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any claim for liabilities, losses, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), damages or injuries arising out of or resulting from the inspection of the Property by Purchaser or its agents or consultants, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Seller shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
Section 3.2Environmental Reports. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (1) PURCHASER HAS RECEIVED COPIES OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS LISTED ON EXHIBIT D ATTACHED HERETO, (2) IF SELLER DELIVERS ANY ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS TO PURCHASER, PURCHASER WILL ACKNOWLEDGE IN WRITING THAT IT HAS RECEIVED SUCH REPORTS PROMPTLY UPON RECEIPT THEREOF, AND (3) ANY ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS DELIVERED OR TO BE DELIVERED BY SELLER OR ITS AGENTS OR CONSULTANTS TO PURCHASER ARE BEING MADE AVAILABLE SOLELY AS AN ACCOMMODATION TO PURCHASER AND MAY NOT BE RELIED UPON BY PURCHASER IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY. PURCHASER AGREES THAT SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER FOR ANY INACCURACY IN OR OMISSION FROM ANY ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT. PURCHASER HAS CONDUCTED, OR WILL CONDUCT PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE INSPECTION PERIOD, ITS OWN INVESTIGATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY TO THE EXTENT PURCHASER DEEMS SUCH AN INVESTIGATION TO BE NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE.
Section 3.3Right of Termination. If for any reason whatsoever Purchaser determines that the Property or any aspect thereof is unsuitable for Purchaser's acquisition, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, and if Purchaser gives such notice of termination within the Inspection Period, this Agreement shall terminate. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, then neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for any indemnity obligations of either party pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement), $250,000 of the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, the other $250,000 of the Deposit shall be released to Seller, and each party shall bear its own costs incurred hereunder. If Purchaser fails to give Seller a notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved all aspects of the Property (except title and survey, which shall be governed by Article II hereof) and to have elected to proceed with the purchase of the Property pursuant to the terms hereof.
Section 3.4Review of Tenant Estoppels. Seller shall deliver to each tenant of the Property an estoppel certificate in either substantially the form of Exhibit E attached hereto or such other form as is called for by the applicable tenant's lease (the " Tenant Estoppels"), and shall request that the tenants complete and sign the Tenant Estoppels and return them to Seller. Seller shall deliver copies of the completed Tenant Estoppels to Purchaser as Seller receives them. Purchaser shall notify Seller within three
5
(3) Business Days of receipt of any Tenant Estoppel in the event Purchaser determines such Tenant Estoppel is not acceptable to Purchaser along with the reasons for such determination but no such Tenant Estoppel shall be deemed unacceptable on the basis that the estoppel is on the form set forth in said tenant’s lease. In the event Purchaser fails to give such notice within such three (3) Business Day period then any such Tenant Estoppel shall be deemed to be acceptable to Purchaser.
In the event that Seller fails to obtain the Tenant Estoppels that are satisfactory or deemed satisfactory to Purchaser (or in lieu thereof, at Seller’s option, Seller estoppels therefor) with respect to tenants of the Property that meet the tenant estoppel standards described on Exhibit F attached hereto on or before five (5) days prior to Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, then neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for any indemnity obligations of either party pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement), $250,000 of the Deposit shall be released to Seller, the balance of the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and each party shall bear its own costs incurred hereunder. If Purchaser fails to give Seller a notice of termination as set forth above, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the Tenant Estoppels (and Seller estoppels, if applicable) and to have elected to proceed with the purchase of the Property pursuant to the terms hereof.
Any Tenant Estoppel which is received from a tenant after Seller provides its own estoppel may be substituted for Seller's estoppel and Seller shall have no further liability thereunder, provided that such Tenant Estoppel contains no material changes or, if materially changed, is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall survive the Closing.

At the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall perform the obligations set forth in, respectively, Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 hereof, the performance of which obligations shall be concurrent conditions; provided that the Deed shall not be recorded until Seller receives confirmation that Seller has received the full amount of the Purchase Price, adjusted by prorations as set forth herein.

Section 4.4Credits and Prorations.
(a)All income and expenses of the Property shall be apportioned as of 12:01 a.m., on the day of Closing, as if Purchaser were vested with title to the Property during the entire day upon which Closing occurs. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.4, such prorated items shall include without limitation the following: (i)all Rents, if any; (ii) taxes and assessments (including personal property taxes on the Personal Property) levied against the Property; (iii) utility charges for which Seller is liable, if any, such charges to be apportioned at Closing on the basis of the most recent meter reading occurring prior to Closing (dated not more than fifteen (15) days prior to Closing) or, if unmetered, on the basis of a current ▇▇▇▇ for each such utility; (iv) all amounts payable under Operating Agreements, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and (v)any other operating expenses or other items pertaining to the Property which are customarily prorated between a purchaser and a seller in the county in which the Property is located.
(b)Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 4.4(a) hereof:
(i)At Closing, (A) Seller shall, at Seller's option, either deliver to Purchaser any cash Security Deposits actually held by Seller pursuant to the Leases or credit to the account of Purchaser the amount of such cash Security Deposits (to the extent such Security Deposits have not been applied against delinquent Rents or otherwise as provided in the Leases), and (B) Purchaser shall credit to the account of Seller all refundable cash or other deposits posted with utility companies serving the Property, or, at Seller's option, Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain such refundable cash and deposits;
9
(ii)Any taxes paid at or prior to Closing shall be prorated based upon the amounts actually paid. If taxes and assessments due and payable during the year of Closing have not been paid before Closing, Seller shall be charged at Closing an amount equal to that portion of such taxes and assessments which relates to the period before Closing and Purchaser shall pay the taxes and assessments prior to their becoming delinquent. Any such apportionment made with respect to a tax year for which the tax rate or assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been fixed shall be based upon the tax rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed. To the extent that the actual taxes and assessments for the current year differ from the amount apportioned at Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves within thirty (30) days after such amounts are determined following Closing, subject to the provisions of Section 4.4(d) hereof;
(iii)Charges referred to in Section 4.4(a) hereof which are payable by any tenant to a third party shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Purchaser shall accept title subject to any of such charges unpaid and Purchaser shall look solely to the tenant responsible therefor for the payment of the same. If Seller shall have paid any of such charges on behalf of any tenant, and shall not have been reimbursed therefor by the time of Closing, Purchaser shall credit to Seller an amount equal to all such charges so paid by Seller;
(iv)As to utility charges referred to in Section 4.4(a)(iii) hereof, Seller may on notice to Purchaser elect to pay one or more or all of said items accrued to the date hereinabove fixed for apportionment directly to the person or entity entitled thereto, and to the extent Seller so elects, such item shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Seller's obligation to pay such item directly in such case shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement;
(v)Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of (A) all Tenant Inducement Costs (as hereinafter defined) and leasing commissions which become due and payable (whether before or after Closing) as a result of any new Leases, or any renewals, amendments or expansions of existing Leases (whether or not entered into pursuant to an option), arising or entered into during the Lease Approval Period (as hereinafter defined) and, if required, approved or deemed approved in accordance with Section 5.4 hereof; and (B) all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions with respect to new Leases, or renewals, amendments or expansions of existing Leases, arising, signed or entered into from and after the date of Closing, including but not limited to leasing commissions that become payable after the termination of a brokerage agreement referred to in Section 5.1(d) hereof in accordance with the terms of such an agreement; and (C) all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions listed on Exhibit M attached hereto as being credited to Seller. If, as of the date of Closing, Seller shall have paid any Tenant Inducement Costs or leasing commissions for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller therefor at Closing. For purposes hereof, the term "Tenant Inducement Costs" shall mean any out‑of‑pocket payments required under a Lease to be paid by the landlord thereunder to or for the benefit of the tenant thereunder which is in the nature of a tenant inducement, including specifically, without limitation, tenant improvement costs, lease buyout costs, and moving, design, refurbishment and club membership allowances. The term "Tenant Inducement Costs" shall not include loss of income resulting from any free rental period, it being agreed that Seller shall bear the loss resulting from any free rental period until the date of Closing and that Purchaser shall bear such loss from and after the date of Closing; except that Seller shall credit Purchaser at closing for the then remaining free rent for Vaco Services and Milliman as shown on Exhibit M. For purposes hereof,
10
the term "Lease Approval Period" shall mean the period from the Effective Date until the date of Closing;
(vi)Unpaid and delinquent Rent collected by Seller and Purchaser after the date of Closing shall be delivered as follows: (a) if Seller collects any unpaid or delinquent Rent for the Property, Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Purchaser any such Rent which Purchaser is entitled to hereunder relating to the date of Closing and any period thereafter, and (b) if Purchaser collects any unpaid or delinquent Rent from the Property, Purchaser shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Seller any such Rent which Seller is entitled to hereunder relating to the period prior to the date of Closing. Seller and Purchaser agree that all Rent received by Seller or Purchaser after the date of Closing shall be applied first to current Rent and then to delinquent Rent, if any, in the inverse order of maturity. Purchaser will make a good faith effort after Closing to collect all Rents in the usual course of Purchaser's operation of the Property, but Purchaser will not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedures to collect delinquent Rents. Seller may attempt to collect any delinquent Rents owed Seller and may institute any lawsuit or collection procedures, but may not evict any tenant after Closing. In the event that there shall be any Rents or other charges under any Leases which, although relating to a period prior to Closing, do not become due and payable until after Closing or are paid prior to Closing but are subject to adjustment after Closing (such as year end common area expense reimbursements and the like), then any Rents or charges of such type received by Purchaser or its agents or Seller or its agents subsequent to Closing shall, to the extent applicable to a period extending through the Closing, be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of Closing and Seller's portion thereof shall be remitted promptly to Seller by Purchaser.
(c)Seller may prosecute appeals (if any) of the real property tax assessment for the period prior to the Closing, and may take related action which Seller deems appropriate in connection therewith. Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller in connection with such appeal and collection of a refund of real property taxes paid. Seller owns and holds all right, title and interest in and to such appeal and refund, and all amounts payable in connection therewith shall be paid directly to Seller by the applicable authorities. If such refund or any part thereof is received by Purchaser, Purchaser shall promptly pay such amount to Seller. Any refund received by Seller shall be distributed as follows: first, to reimburse Seller for all costs incurred in connection with the appeal; second, with respect to refunds payable to tenants of the Real Property pursuant to the Leases, to such tenants in accordance with the terms of such Leases; and third, to Seller to the extent such appeal covers the period prior to the Closing, and to Purchaser to the extent such appeal covers the period as of the Closing and thereafter. If and to the extent any such appeal covers the period after the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to participate in such appeal.
(d)Except as otherwise provided herein, any revenue or expense amount which cannot be ascertained with certainty as of Closing shall be prorated on the basis of the parties' reasonable estimates of such amount, and shall be the subject of a final proration ninety (90) days after Closing, or as soon thereafter as the precise amounts can be ascertained. Any reconciliation of revenue or expense amounts relating to Leases which needs to be made in connection with this Section 4.4 shall be prepared by Purchaser and submitted to Seller for Seller’s review and approval. Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller when it becomes aware that any such estimated amount has been ascertained. Once all revenue and expense amounts have been ascertained, Purchaser shall prepare,
11
and certify as correct, a final proration statement which shall be in a form consistent with the closing statement delivered at Closing and which shall be subject to Seller's approval. Upon Seller's acceptance and approval of any final proration statement submitted by Purchaser, such statement shall be conclusively deemed to be accurate and final, and any payment due to any party as a result of such final proration shall be made within thirty (30) days of such approval by Seller.
(e)Subject to the final sentence of Section 4.4(d) hereof, the provisions of this Section 4.4 shall survive Closing.

As used herein, the term "Designated Employee" shall refer to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.
Section 5.3Survival of Seller's Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 5.1 hereof as updated as of the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall survive Closing for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days.

Purchaser is regulated by the SEC, FINRA or the Federal Reserve (a “Regulated Entity”) or (ii) neither Purchaser nor any person or entity that directly or indirectly (a) controls Purchaser or (b) has an ownership interest in Purchaser of twenty-five percent (25%) or more, appears on the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (“OFAC List”) published by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In connection with this representation, no later than fifteen (15) days prior to Closing, Purchaser shall provide to Seller all information reasonably requested by Seller including without limitation, organizational structural charts and organizational documents which Seller may deem to be necessary (“Purchaser OFAC Information”) in order for Seller to confirm Purchaser’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.5(d).

In the event the sale of the Property as contemplated hereunder is not consummated due to Purchaser's default hereunder, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit as liquidated damages for the breach of this Agreement, it being
17
agreed between the parties hereto that the actual damages to Seller in the event of such breach are impractical to ascertain and the amount of the Deposit is a reasonable estimate thereof.
Section 6.2Default by Seller. In the event the sale of the Property as contemplated hereunder is not consummated due to Seller's default hereunder, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, either (a) to receive the return of the Deposit, which return shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller from any and all liability hereunder, or (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller's obligation to convey the Property to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the remedy of specific performance shall not be available to enforce any other obligation of Seller hereunder. Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of Seller's default hereunder. If the sale of the Property is not consummated due to Seller's default hereunder, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive back the Deposit if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located, on or before thirty (30) days following the date upon which Closing was to have occurred.
Section 6.3Recoverable Damages. Notwithstanding Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, in no event shall the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 limit the damages recoverable by either party against the other party due to the other party's obligation to indemnify such party in accordance with this Agreement.

In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. If Seller elects to assign a casualty claim to Purchaser, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of the deductible amount under Seller's insurance policy or the cost of such repairs as determined in accordance with Section 7.3 hereof. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Purchaser.
Section 7.3Definition of "Major" Loss or Damage.

In the event this Agreement is terminated or Purchaser fails to perform hereunder, Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller any statements, documents, schedules, exhibits or other written information obtained from Seller in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated herein.

Section 10.2Public Disclosure. Prior to and after the Closing, any press release or other public disclosure of information with respect to the sale contemplated herein or any matters set forth in this Agreement made or released by or on behalf of Purchaser shall be subject to Seller’s prior approval; provided that Purchaser may without need of Seller's approval make any disclosures required by law (including securities regulations).

23
modify or discharge it in whole or in part unless such executory agreement is in writing and is signed by the parties against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.
Section 10.6Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the exhibits and schedules hereto, contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and fully supersedes all prior written or oral agreements and understandings between the parties pertaining to such subject matter, other than any confidentiality agreement executed by Purchaser in connection with the Property.
Section 10.7Further Assurances. Each party agrees that it will execute and deliver such other documents and take such other action, whether prior or subsequent to Closing, as may be reasonably requested by the other party to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 10.7 shall survive Closing.
Section 10.8Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all such executed counterparts shall constitute the same agreement, and the signature of any party to any counterpart shall be deemed a signature to, and may be appended to, any other counterpart.
Section 10.9Facsimile or PDF Signatures. In order to expedite the transaction contemplated herein, telecopied or e-mailed PDF signatures may be used in place of original signatures on this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser intend to be bound by the signatures on the telecopied or PDF document, are aware that the other party will rely on the telecopied or PDF signatures, and hereby waive any defenses to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement based on the form of signature.
Section 10.10Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect; provided that the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision does not materially adversely affect the benefits accruing to any party hereunder.
Section 10.11Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Property is located. Purchaser and Seller agree that the provisions of this Section 10.11 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.12No Third-Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser only and are not for the benefit of any third party, and accordingly, no third party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing.
24
Section 10.13Captions. The section headings appearing in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not intended, to any extent and for any purpose, to limit or define the text of any section or any subsection hereof.
Section 10.14Construction. The parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto.
Section 10.15Recordation. This Agreement may not be recorded by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto. The provisions of this Section 10.15 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.16Intentionally Omitted.
Section 10.17Audit Rights and Tenant Reconciliation Statements . For a period of three (3) years after the Closing, Purchaser shall allow Seller and its agents and representatives access without charge to (i) all files, records, and documents delivered to Purchaser at the Closing, and (ii) the financial records and financial statements for the Property (including but not limited to, financial records and financial statements related to the Reconciliation Statements, as such term is hereinafter defined) for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs and for the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, upon reasonable advance notice and at all reasonable times, to examine and to make copies of any and all such files, records, documents, and statements, which right shall survive the Closing. Purchaser shall prepare and provide to the tenants under the Leases a statement of the reconciliation of expenses between the landlord and the tenants under the Leases in accordance with the terms of the Leases (the “Reconciliation Statements”), and Purchaser shall provide Seller with copies of the Reconciliation Statements at the same time that they are furnished to the Tenants. If amounts are due from any Tenants based on the Reconciliation Statements, Purchaser shall make a good faith effort after Closing to collect the same in the usual course of Purchaser’s operation of the Property, and upon collection, to remit to Seller, Seller’s share of those amounts in accordance with the terms of Section 4.4 hereof; however, Purchaser shall not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedures to collect said amounts. Seller may attempt to collect amounts due to it pursuant to the reconciliation of expenses between the landlord and the tenants in accordance with the terms of the Leases, and Seller may institute any lawsuit or collection procedures, but Seller may not evict any tenant after Closing. The provisions of this Section 10.17 shall survive the Closing.
Section 10.18No Waiver . No failure or delay of either party in the exercise of any right given to such party hereunder or the waiver by any party of any condition hereunder for its benefit (unless the time specified herein for exercise of such right, or satisfaction of such condition, has expired) shall constitute a waiver of any other or further right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude other or further exercise thereof or
25
any other right, in accordance with this Agreement. The waiver of any breach hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other or any subsequent breach hereof.
Section 10.19Time of Essence . Time is of the essence of this Agreement, however, if the final date of any period which is set out in any provision of this Agreement falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then, in such event, the time of such period shall be extended to the next Business Day.
Section 10.20Submission Not an Offer . The submission by Seller to Purchaser of this Agreement in unsigned form shall be deemed to be for Purchaser’s consideration only and not for acceptance and execution. Such submission shall have no binding force and effect, shall not constitute an offer or an option and shall not confer any rights upon Purchaser or impose any obligations upon Seller irrespective of any reliance thereon, change of position or partial performance, it being understood and agreed by Purchaser that Seller shall not be obligated under this Agreement unless and until Seller shall have executed a copy of this Agreement that has been executed by Purchaser and delivered a fully executed counterpart thereof to Purchaser.
