Following the timely receipt of a Disapproved Title Exceptions Notice from Buyer, if Seller elects to cure one or more of the Disapproved Title Exceptions, then Seller shall have until the last Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date to cure the applicable Disapproved Title Exceptions. In the event Seller: (A) timely elects to cure the Disapproved Title Exceptions; and (B) fails to timely cure any Disapproved Title Exceptions that Seller has elected to cure on or before the Closing Date, then Seller shall not be in default under this Agreement and, in such a case, at any time on or before the Closing Date, Buyer may elect to either: (1) continue this Agreement in effect without modification and purchase and acquire the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, subject to such Disapproved Title Exceptions (which will be deemed to constitute "Permitted Title Exceptions"); or (2) terminate this Agreement and the Escrow pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.5(a) hereof, unless Seller fails to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Disapproved Title Exceptions or one or more of such Disapproved Title Exceptions are the result of a default by Seller under this Agreement, in which case Buyer may terminate this Agreement and the Escrow pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.6(a) hereof.

Furthermore, and without limiting the obligations of Indemnitor pursuant to Section 14.1 or Section 14.2(a) hereof, Indemnitor shall reimburse Indemnitees for all Losses incurred by Indemnitees in connection with any such Asserted Liability.
(c) Timing for Payment. In the event Indemnitees incur any Losses which were not otherwise paid or satisfied by Indemnitor pursuant to this Agreement, Indemnitees shall deliver written notice to Indemnitor advising Indemnitor that Indemnitees have incurred such Losses (“Notice of Loss”). The Notice of Loss shall include an itemization of all of the Losses that Indemnitor is required to pay pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Within thirty (30) Calendar Days after the date of receipt by Indemnitor of the Notice of Loss, Indemnitor shall pay to Indemnitees the aggregate amount of the Losses described in such Notice of Loss. In the event Indemnitor fails to timely pay to Indemnitees the aggregate amount of such Losses, any and all unpaid amounts shall bear interest at the greater of: (a) twelve percent (12%) per annum; or (b) the maximum rate of interest allowable under applicable law, which interest, in either case, shall be deemed to accrue effective as of the date such payment was originally due.

GENERAL PROVISIONS OF ESCROW
THESE GENERAL PROVISIONS OF ESCROW ("General Provisions"), are deemed entered into pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions, dated April 8, 2022, by and between Commonwealth Alternative Care Inc., as the "Seller,", and IIP-MA 2 LLC, as the "Buyer," as the same may be amended from time to time ("Purchase Agreement"). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE:
1. Deposit of Funds and Disbursements. Unless directed in writing by Seller or Buyer, as applicable, to establish a separate, interest-bearing account together with all necessary taxpayer reporting information, all funds received by Escrow Agent shall be deposited in general escrow accounts in a federally insured financial institution ("Depositories"). All disbursements shall be made by Escrow Agent's check or by wire transfer unless otherwise instructed in writing by the party to receive such disbursement. The Good Funds Law requires that Escrow Agent have confirmation of receipt of funds prior to disbursement.
2. Disclosure of Possible Benefits to Escrow Agent. As a result of Escrow Agent maintaining its general escrow accounts with the Depositories, Escrow Agent may receive certain financial benefits such as an array of bank services, accommodations, loans or other business transactions from the Depositories ("Collateral Benefits"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Collateral Benefits shall not include any interest that accrues or is earned on the Deposit and in no event and under no circumstance shall Escrow Agent be entitled to receive and retain any interest that accrues or is earned on the Deposit. All Collateral Benefits shall accrue to the sole benefit of Escrow Agent and Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to account to the parties to this Escrow for the value of any such Collateral Benefits.
3. Miscellaneous Fees. Escrow Agent may incur certain additional costs on behalf of the parties for services performed by third party providers. The fees charged by Escrow Agent for such services shall not include a ▇▇▇▇ up or premium over the direct cost of such services.
4. Prorations and Adjustments. All prorations and/or adjustments shall be made in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.
5. Contingency Periods. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for monitoring contingency time periods between the Parties.
6. Reports. As an accommodation, Escrow Agent may agree to transmit orders for inspection, termite, disclosure and other reports if requested, in writing or orally, by the parties or their agents. Escrow Agent shall deliver copies of any such reports as directed. Escrow Agent is not responsible for reviewing such reports or advising the parties of the content of the same.
7. Recordation of Documents. Escrow Agent is authorized to prepare, obtain, record and deliver the necessary instruments to carry out the terms and conditions of this Escrow and, to the extent that Escrow Agent is also the Title Company, to issue the ALTA Extended Coverage Policy at Closing, subject to and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement or pursuant to separate written instructions to Escrow Agent executed by Seller.
8. Conflicting Instructions and Disputes. No notice, demand or change of instructions shall be of any effect in this Escrow unless given in writing by Seller and Buyer. In the event a demand for the Deposit and/or any other amounts in this Escrow is made which is not concurred with by Seller and Buyer (regardless of who made demand therefor), Escrow Agent may elect to file a suit in interpleader and obtain an order from the court allowing Escrow Agent to deposit all funds and documents in court and have no further liability with respect thereto. If an action is brought involving this Escrow and/or Escrow Agent, Seller and Buyer agree to indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless against liabilities, damages and costs incurred by Escrow Agent (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs) except to the extent that such liabilities, damages and costs were caused by the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Escrow Agent.
| G-1 |
9. Amendments to General Provisions. Any amendment to these General Provisions must be mutually agreed to by Seller and Buyer and accepted by Escrow Agent. The Purchase Agreement and these General Provisions shall constitute the entire escrow agreement between the Escrow Agent and the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of the Escrow.
10. Copies of Documents; Authorization to Release. Escrow Agent is authorized to rely upon copies of documents, which include facsimile, electronic, NCR, or photocopies as if they were an originally executed document. If requested by Escrow Agent, the originals of such documents shall be delivered to Escrow Agent. Documents to be recorded MUST contain original signatures. Escrow Agent may furnish copies of any and all documents to the lender(s), real estate broker(s), attorney(s) and/or accountant(s) involved in this transaction upon their request.
11. Execution in Counterpart. These General Provisions and any amendments may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute the same instruction.
12. Tax Reporting, Withholding and Disclosure. The Parties are advised to seek independent advice concerning the tax consequences of this transaction, including but not limited to, their withholding, reporting and disclosure obligations. Escrow Agent does not provide tax or legal advice and the parties agree to hold Escrow Agent harmless from any loss or damage that the parties may incur as a result of their failure to comply with federal and/or state tax laws. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS ARE THE EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES AND ESCROW AGENT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE TO PERFORM THESE OBLIGATIONS UNLESS ESCROW AGENT AGREES IN WRITING.
13. Taxpayer Identification Number Reporting. Federal law requires Escrow Agent to report Seller's social security number and/or tax identification number, forwarding address, and the gross sales price to the Internal Revenue Service. Escrow cannot be closed nor any documents recorded until the information is provided and Seller certifies the accuracy of such information to Escrow Agent.
14. Purchase Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and the terms and conditions of these General Provisions, the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement shall govern.
15. Notices. All notices relating to these General Provisions shall be given in compliance with the Notice provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
