and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder.

3.06 Due Diligence Materials. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than a default by Seller, Purchaser shall return all of the Submission Items to Seller. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

All prorations to be made under this section “as of the Closing Date” shall be made as of 11:59 P.M. local time on day immediately preceding the Closing Date, with the effect that Seller shall pay the portions of the expenses and receive the portions of the income to be prorated under this Agreement which are allocable to periods prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall pay the portions of such expenses and receive the portions of such income which are allocable to periods from and after the Closing Date.

(a) Current Tax Period. Property Taxes for the Current Tax Period shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date and paid at Closing, if possible. If the Property Taxes for the Current Tax Period have been paid by Seller at the time of Closing, Seller shall receive a credit for Purchaser’s share of such Property Taxes. If the Property Taxes for the Current Tax Period are not paid at or prior to Closing, then Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to Seller’s share thereof. In the event Purchaser receives a credit against the Purchase Price to cover Seller’s share of any Property Tax, Purchaser shall be responsible for paying such Property Tax to the proper taxing authority prior to delinquency.

Seller shall have the right to all refunds or rebates resulting from contests or appeals of any Property Taxes with respect to the years prior to the Current Tax Period, subject to Seller’s obligation to reimburse Tenants for any rebates or refunds to which Tenants may be entitled under the Leases. Seller may, at its option, contest or appeal any portion of the Property Taxes for the Current Tax Year, and the parties agree to prorate all refunds or rebates received on account thereof, based upon each parties’ period of ownership of such Property during the Current Tax Year. Purchaser agrees to cooperate and assist with any contest or appeal by Seller of the Property Taxes, so long as Purchaser is not required to incur any costs or expenses in connection therewith.

As such estimated amounts become finally known, Seller and Purchaser shall make any payments necessary to cause Seller and Purchaser to pay the amounts it is responsible for under this ARTICLE VIII, but no more. Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate and use reasonable efforts to finalize the prorations or adjustments required under this ARTICLE VIII that cannot be completed as of the Closing no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing, if possible.
8.06 Survival. The provisions of this ARTICLE VIII shall survive the Closing.
ARTICLE IX
DAMAGE AND CONDEMNATION
9.01 Casualty.
(a) Until Closing, Seller agrees to maintain its existing property insurance covering the Property (the “Property Insurance”). If the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which is not caused by the Purchaser or its agents prior to Closing and the cost to repair such damage exceeds Three Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($300,000.00), then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after the fire or casualty, in which event the Deposit shall be immediately refunded to Purchaser.
(b) Unless this agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 9.01(a), if the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, then Seller may, at its option, either: (i) repair the damaged areas, excluding damage to be repaired by tenants under the terms of the Leases, and the Closing shall be postponed until the date that is five (5) business days after such restoration is completed; or (ii) proceed with the Closing without a reduction in the Purchase Price, in which case Seller shall pay Purchaser, at Closing, an amount equal to insurance proceeds received by Seller on account of such damage under the Property Insurance, assign to Purchaser all insurance proceeds payable (but not yet paid) to Seller as a result of such casualty loss under the Property Insurance, and credit to Purchaser an amount equal to the deductible (if any) under the Property Insurance. Seller shall be entitled to retain all proceeds paid as a result of any damage to the Property under Seller’s rental loss insurance and business interruption insurance. Seller shall bear the risk of loss or damage to the Property until the Closing.
9.02 Condemnation. If there is an actual or pending taking of the Property by condemnation or eminent domain prior to Closing (a “Taking”) that will prevent or materially impair the operation of the Property, as presently operated, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller prior to Closing, in which event the Deposit shall be immediately refunded to Purchaser. If there is a Taking prior to Closing and this Agreement is not so terminated, then, at Closing, Seller shall pay Purchaser any condemnation awards received by Seller on account of such Taking except condemnation awards payable to the Tenants under the Leases, and Seller shall assign all of its interest in any unpaid condemnation awards due
15
as a result of such Taking to Purchaser. Seller shall not reach any settlement or agreement related to any Taking after the Effective Date, unless Purchaser consents thereto, in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, qualified or delayed. In no event shall the Purchase Price be reduced as a result of any Taking.
ARTICLE X
DEFAULT
10.01 Failure to Sell. If Seller breaches this Agreement by failing to sell the Property to Purchaser and Seller does not cure such breach within five (5) days after it is notified of the same by Purchaser, in writing, then Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either: (i) obtain specific performance of this Agreement; or (ii) terminate this Agreement, receive a return of the Deposit, and recover an amount equal to the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with its inspection of the Property, not to exceed Seventy Five Thousand and No/100 US Dollars (US $75,000.00). In the event Purchaser desires to bring an action for specific performance of this Agreement, Purchaser must commence such action within sixty (60) days after the date the Closing was supposed to occur. Purchaser’s failure to commence an action for specific performance within the period required under this section shall constitute an irrevocable waiver of its right to bring the same.
10.02 Failure to Purchase. If Purchaser breaches this Agreement by failing to purchase the Property and Purchaser does not cure such breach within five (5) days after it is notified of the same by Seller, in writing, then Seller may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit as full and agreed upon liquidated damages. Purchaser and Seller agree that said liquidated damages are reasonable given the circumstances now existing, including, but not limited to, the range of harm to Seller that is reasonably foreseeable and the anticipation that proof of Seller’s actual damages would be costly, impractical and inconvenient.
10.03 Other Defaults. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 10.01 and 10.02, if Seller or Purchaser breaches any of the terms of this Agreement and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days after it is notified of the same by the non-breaching party, in writing, then the non-breaching party shall have the right to obtain any remedy available at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, the right to recover the damages that it suffers or incurs on account of the breach. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall either party be liable for consequential, incidental, exemplary or punitive damages as a result of its breach of this Agreement. Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser as a result of any default by Seller under this Agreement in excess of Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00). Purchaser agrees to first seek available recovery from other sources (including, without limitation, insurance policies, service contracts, estoppels certificates and the Leases) prior to seeking recovery from Seller, and Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser if Purchaser’s claim is satisfied from such other sources. The remedies expressly set forth in this section shall be the only remedies available to Purchaser as a result of Seller’s default under or breach of any of the Transaction Documents.
