In the event that any of the foregoing conditions shall not have been fulfilled (or waived by Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion) on or before the time for Closing hereunder, then Purchaser may elect, upon written notice to Seller, to terminate this Agreement, in which event the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money (including the Nonrefundable Deposit) shall promptly be returned to Purchaser, and, if termination is due to a failure of condition (a) or (b) above, the Commitment Fee and any Extension Fee paid shall be returned to Purchaser, and except for the Surviving Provisions, this Agreement shall be void and of no further force and effect, and neither party shall have any liability to the other by reason hereof,

provided that if such failure is the result of a default by Seller of the terms of this Agreement then the terms of Section 17(b) below shall apply.

12.

Title Insurance.

(a)

Title Commitment. Purchaser shall promptly order a current commitment (the “Title Commitment”) from the Title Company, together with all of the underlying documentation described in such Title Commitment, for an owner’s title insurance policy, dated as of the Closing Date, in the full amount of the Purchase Price, the form of which shall be the most current form American Land Title Association Extended Owner’s Policy, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (the “Title Policy”).

As used herein, “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean: (1) any exception arising out of an act of Purchaser or its representatives, agents, employees or independent contractors; (2) zoning and subdivision ordinances and regulations; (3) the specific exceptions in the Title Commitment objected to by Purchaser at least five (5) days prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period that the Title Company has not agreed to insure over (pursuant to an endorsement acceptable to Purchaser) or remove from the Title Commitment prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (specifically excluding Seller Encumbrances); (4) items shown on the Survey objected to by Purchaser at least five (5) days prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period which have not been removed prior to the Closing Date (specifically excluding Seller Encumbrances); and (5) real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable.

(b)

Forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period Purchaser shall provide Seller and Title Company a letter outlining any title objections Purchaser may have concerning the Premises. With respect to any objections which Purchaser may have (other than Seller Encumbrances), Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of written objections from Purchaser as to which of such objections it elects to cure, if any.

In addition, Seller shall provide Title Company with such customary affidavits (collectively, an “Owner’s Affidavit”) as Title Company may require in order to the issue the Title Policy or any endorsements to the Title Policy and remove the standard “parties in possession”, “mechanics lien” and “GAP” exceptions.

(e)

The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive until the date that is two years after Closing.

Default; Termination.

The parties acknowledge and agree that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s actual damages in the event of Purchaser’s default are uncertain in amount and difficult to ascertain and that said amount of liquidated damages was reasonably determined.

(b)

Seller Default. If the Closing fails to occur as a result of any default by Seller, or if any of Seller’s representations or warranties set forth in Section 6(a) are untrue as of the Contract Date, then provided Purchaser is not in default, Purchaser may, if such default is not cured after five (5) days written notice to Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, either:

(1)

Terminate. Terminate this Agreement, whereupon the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money (including the Nonrefundable Deposit), the Commitment Fee and any Extension Fee paid by Purchaser shall be promptly returned to Purchaser by the Escrow Agent (or, if released to Seller, by Seller), and if such Seller default is material Seller shall promptly reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s actual third-party costs and expenses not to exceed Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) in the aggregate, and after Purchaser has received all such amounts, neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other, except for the provisions of this Agreement which are expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement; or

(2)

Specific Performance. Assert and seek judgment against Seller for specific performance; provided, however, any action for specific performance must be filed and served upon Seller within sixty (60) days after Seller’s alleged default, otherwise Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed in accordance with Section 17(b)(1) above.

(c)

Specific Performance Unavailable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if specific performance of Seller’s obligation to convey the Premises is not available to Purchaser due to an intentional act of Seller (i.e., Seller has sold the Premises to another party), in addition to terminating this Agreement (whereupon the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, including the Nonrefundable Deposit, the Commitment Fee and, if paid, the Extension Fee, shall be promptly returned to Purchaser by Escrow Agent and Seller as applicable), Purchaser may seek all damages against Seller as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (with such damages not to exceed the Purchase Price), and after Purchaser has received all such amounts, neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other, except for the provisions of this Agreement which are expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement.

(d)

Survival. This Section 17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

18.

Expenses.

(a)

Seller Expenses. At Closing, Seller shall pay (i) the premium for the Title Policy with standard coverage, (ii) one-half of any escrow or closing charges, and (iii) the recording fees and documentary fees related to any corrective instruments or Seller Encumbrances, and

(b)

(d)

19.

Intermediaries. Seller represents to Purchaser, and Purchaser represents to Seller, that there is no broker, finder, or intermediary of any kind with whom such party has dealt in connection with this transaction, other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Realty Advisors, Inc. (the commission of which shall be paid by Purchaser at Closing). If any claim is made against Purchaser for broker’s or finder’s fees or commissions for a party engaged by Seller in connection with the negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any such claim, which obligation shall survive Closing. If any claim is made against Seller for broker’s or finder’s fees or commissions for a party engaged by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in connection with the negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any such claim, which obligation shall survive Closing.

20.

Condemnation. If, prior to Closing, a condemnation proceeding is commenced or threatened against the Premises in writing by a governmental or quasi-governmental agency with the power of eminent domain (“Condemnation”), then:

(a)

Termination Option. Purchaser may elect, within fourteen (14) days from and after said notice of Condemnation, by written notice to Seller, to terminate this Agreement, and if necessary the time of Closing shall be extended to permit such election. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, then the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money (including the Nonrefundable Deposit) shall be returned to Purchaser by Seller and Escrow Agent as applicable, and, except for the provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be void and of no further force and effect, and neither party shall have any liability to the other by reason hereof; or

(b)

Awards. In the event Purchaser does not timely elect to terminate pursuant to Section 20(a) above, then this Agreement shall not terminate, and if the Closing occurs then the Purchase Price shall not be reduced because of such Condemnation; provided, that, at Closing, Seller shall assign to Purchaser its rights in any Condemnation award to be paid to Seller in connection with such Condemnation.

21.

(l)

Construction. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against Purchaser merely by virtue of the fact that the same has been prepared by Purchaser or its counsel, it being recognized both of the parties hereto have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement. All words herein which are expressed in the neuter gender shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine and neuter genders and any word herein which is expressed in the singular or plural shall be deemed, whenever appropriate in the context, to include the plural and the singular.

(m)

Reporting Obligations. Seller and Purchaser hereby designate the Escrow Agent to act as and perform the duties and obligations of the “reporting person” with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement for purposes of 26 C.F.R. Section 1.6045‑4(e)(5) relating to the requirements for information reporting on real estate transaction closed on or after January 1, 1991.

(n)

Confidentiality. Purchaser and its representatives shall hold in strictest confidence all data and information obtained with respect to the operation and management of the Premises, whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery hereof, and shall not use such data or information for purposes unrelated to this Agreement or disclose the same to others except as expressly permitted hereunder. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to prevent Purchaser from disclosing to its prospective lenders or investors, or to its officers, directors, managers, members, attorneys, accountants, architects, engineers and consultants, data and information to perform their designated tasks in connection with Purchaser’s inspection of the Premises, provided Purchaser advises any such party of the confidential nature of the information disclosed. Seller, Purchaser and their respective representatives shall hold in strictest confidence this Agreement and the terms and conditions contained herein. However, neither party shall have this obligation concerning information which: (a) is published or becomes publicly available through no fault of either the Purchaser or Seller; (b) is rightfully

received from a third party; or (c) is required to be disclosed by law, regulation, code and/or court order (including without limitation any Form 8-k filing required to be filed by Seller with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other SEC or NYSE filings, when and as determined by Seller). In the event this Agreement is terminated or Purchaser fails to perform hereunder and provided that Seller so requests, 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 transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, all Property Information. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or Seller or its agents, consultants and/or lenders of this paragraph, Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the breaching party from disclosing, in whole or in part, such confidential information.

(o)

Seller and/or Purchaser may, for the purpose of treating all or part of its sale or acquisition of the Premises as a like-kind exchange of property under Section 1031 of Code, assign certain rights that it has under this Agreement, including its right to sell or acquire the Premises pursuant to this Agreement, to one or more qualified intermediaries, and to provide notice of such assignment to the other party, provided that no such assignment shall release the assigning party from its obligations hereunder and no such assignment shall delay the Closing hereunder. The non-assigning party shall not incur any costs in connection with such exchange. The assigning party agrees to save, indemnify, protect and defend the other party (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such other party) from and against and hold the other party harmless from any and all expenses and/or liabilities arising from such assignment and exchange and the other party shall not be required to take title to any other property. The provision of this Section 21(o) shall survive the Closing.

22.

Duties of Escrow Agent. Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon instructions given solely by Purchaser with respect to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money. After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, all instructions to the Escrow Agent must be jointly delivered by Seller and Purchaser. The sole duties of Escrow Agent shall be those described in this Agreement and Escrow Agent shall be under no obligation to determine whether the other parties to this Agreement are complying with any requirements of law or the terms and conditions of any other agreements among said parties. The Escrow Agent may conclusively rely upon and shall be protected in acting upon any notice, consent, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, consistent with reasonable due diligence on the Escrow Agent’s part. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or liability to verify any such notice, consent order or other document, and its sole responsibility shall be to act as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Escrow Agent and its respective representatives shall hold in strictest confidence this Agreement and the terms and conditions contained herein. The provisions of this Section 22 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
