(b) Escrow Agent shall acknowledge receipt of the Deposit and agrees to hold the Deposit in the Escrow Account pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement for application in accordance with the provisions hereof, upon the following terms:
(i) Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth herein. Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person to make any payment or delivery or to enforce any obligation of any person to perform any other act, Escrow Agent shall be under no liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto (other than Escrow Agent) or any maker, guarantor, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person to perform such person’s obligations under any such document. Except for amendments to this Agreement hereinafter referred to and except for joint instructions given to Escrow Agent by Seller and Purchaser relating to the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to recognize any agreement between any or all of the persons referred to herein, notwithstanding that references thereto may be made herein and whether or not it has knowledge thereof.
(ii) In its capacity as Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the genuineness or validity of any security, instrument, document or item deposited with it and shall have no responsibility other than to faithfully follow the instructions contained herein, and it is fully protected in acting in accordance with any written instrument given to it hereunder by any of the parties hereto and reasonably believed by Escrow Agent to have been signed by the proper person. Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give any notice hereunder has been duly authorized to do so. Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Deposit. Promptly after the receipt by Escrow Agent of (a) notice of any demand by either party claiming that it is entitled to the Deposit or (b) any other claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by either party, Escrow Agent shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any of the other parties hereto, send a copy of such notice to the other party and inform the other party of such claim; but the failure by Escrow Agent to give such notice shall not relieve any party from any liability which such party may have to Escrow Agent hereunder. If Escrow Agent shall receive written notice from either
6
party within ten (10) business days after receipt by Escrow Agent of such notice instructing Escrow Agent to not deliver the Deposit to the other party or to otherwise hold the Deposit, or if for any reason there is any dispute or uncertainty concerning any action to be taken hereunder, Escrow Agent shall take no action and shall continue to hold the Deposit until it has received instructions in writing concurred to by Seller and Purchaser or until directed by a final order of judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, whereupon Escrow Agent shall take such action in accordance with such instructions or such order. In addition, if Escrow Agent is in doubt as to its duties or liabilities under this Agreement, Escrow Agent may deposit escrowed sums with a clerk of court for Orange County, Florida and bring an interpleader action.
(iii) It is understood and agreed that the duties of Escrow Agent are purely ministerial in nature. Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, except for acts of willful misconduct or gross negligence. Escrow Agent may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is reasonably believed by Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a final judgment or decree of a court of competent .jurisdiction, or a writing delivered to Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto.
(iv) Escrow Agent shall have the right to assume in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the proper person or persons that a fact or an event by reason of which an action would or might be taken by Escrow Agent does not exist or has not occurred, without incurring liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, in reliance upon such assumption.
(v) Except in connection with Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless jointly and severally by the other parties hereto from and against any and all expenses or loss suffered by Escrow Agent (as Escrow Agent), including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including without limitation those incurred in all bankruptcy and probate proceedings, in connection with any dispute, action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim, which arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of Escrow Agent hereunder or the monies held by it hereunder, including without limitation any interpleader action. All such amounts may be deducted from the escrowed funds.
(vi) From time to time on and after the date hereof. Seller and Purchaser 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
7
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.
(vii) Escrow Agent may resign at any time as Escrow Agent hereunder upon giving five (5) days’ prior written notice to that effect to both Seller and Purchaser. In such event, the successor Escrow Agent shall be a nationally recognized title insurance company or other person acceptable to both Seller and Purchaser. Such party that will no longer be serving as Escrow Agent shall deliver, against receipt, to such successor Escrow Agent, the Deposit held by such party, to be held by such successor Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. If no such successor has been designated on or before such party ceases to be Escrow Agent hereunder, whether by resignation or otherwise, its obligations as Escrow Agent shall continue until such successor is appointed, provided, however, its sole obligation thereafter shall be to safely keep all monies then held by it and to deliver the same to the person, firm or corporation designated as its successor or deposited into the registry of the court and interpleaded or until directed by a final order or Judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, whereupon Escrow Agent shall make disposition thereof in accordance with such order; provided further, however, that such Escrow Agent, in such event, shall deliver the Deposit against receipt, to any bank or trust company or title insurance company operating in Florida selected by such party. If no successor Escrow Agent is designated and qualified within five (5) days after its resignation is effective, such party that will no longer be serving as Escrow Agent may apply to any court of competent Jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent.
(viii) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Escrow Agent from representing Purchaser in the event of a dispute.
(ix) This entire Section 5 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, including Closing and the delivery of the deed.

If Purchaser or Purchaser’s attorneys do not deliver any such objection notice within the Objection Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to any liens, encumbrances or other title exceptions appearing on such Commitment or any Updated Survey (and the same shall not constitute Title Objections and shall be deemed Permitted Encumbrances); provided however, that Purchaser shall have the right to object by delivery of written notice to Seller and Seller’s attorneys, on or prior to the earlier of (i) five (5) days after receipt of a new exception or encumbrance (which is not a Permitted Encumbrance, and which was not revealed by the initial Commitment), and (ii) the Closing Date, to any item that becomes of record after the date of the Commitment and which would not otherwise be a Permitted Encumbrance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be entitled to object to, and shall be deemed to have approved, any liens, encumbrances or other title exceptions (and the same shall not constitute Title Objections but shall be deemed Permitted Encumbrances) (1) over which the Title Company is willing to insure (without additional cost to Purchaser), (2) against which the Title Company is willing to provide affirmative insurance (without additional cost to Purchaser), or (3) which will be extinguished upon the transfer of the Property to Purchaser (collectively, the “Non-Objectionable Encumbrances”).
(ii) Except as set forth in this Section 7(a)(ii), it is expressly understood that in no event shall Seller be required to bring any action or institute any proceeding, or to otherwise incur any costs or expenses in order to attempt to eliminate any Title Objections or to otherwise cause title in the Premises to be in accordance with the terms of this
9
Agreement on the Closing Date. In the event Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller is unable or unwilling to cure any of the Title Objections (“Seller’s Response Notice”), then Purchaser shall notify Seller of its intention to either terminate this Agreement, or proceed to Closing and accept title to Premises subject to the Title Objections, without any abatement of the Purchase Price, or any liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of such Title Objections. In the event Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its intention to either terminate or close over such Title Objections within three business (3) days following receipt by Purchaser of Seller’s Response Notice, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to close the transactions contemplated hereunder, subject to the Title Objections (without any abatement of the Purchase Price, or any liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of such Title Objections).
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be obligated to remove (i) all mortgages (other than any mortgage securing or evidencing the Existing Indebtedness) affecting the Premises which were created by Seller (“Mortgages”), and (ii) all mechanics liens and all judgment liens affecting the Premises, other than those created by any tenants at the Premises (collectively, “Monetary Liens”).

If Seller is required to remove a Mortgage or Monetary Lien pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to postpone the Closing for a period of thirty (30) days in order to endeavor to remove such Mortgage or Monetary Lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Title Company is willing to insure over such Mortgage or Monetary Lien (without additional cost to Purchaser) by either providing for an indemnity or an escrow, then Seller shall not be required to remove such Monetary Lien. If a Monetary Lien can be removed by bonding over same but Seller elects not to remove any of such Mortgage or Monetary Lien(s) because the cost of removing same, or the associated liability to the bonding company, plus the cost of obtaining the bond exceeds the Monetary Lien Cap Amount, then Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole discretion, proceed to the Closing and accept payment of up to the Monetary Lien Cap Amount (but without any other modifications to this Agreement) or terminate this Agreement upon five (5) business days prior written notice and receive a refund of the Deposit. If the cost of removing any Monetary Lien(s), in the aggregate, is less than the Monetary Lien Cap Amount, Seller shall, at its sole option, either remove such item or pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the reasonable cost to remove same (up to the Monetary Lien Cap).
(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Seller is unable to eliminate the Title Objections by the Scheduled Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), unless the same are waived by Purchaser without any abatement in the Purchase Price, Seller may, upon prior notice (“Title Cure Notice”) to Purchaser, adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days (“Title Cure Period”), in order to attempt to eliminate such exceptions.
(b) In no event shall any lien, encumbrance or other exception arising as a result of any act or omission of Purchaser or anyone acting on behalf of Purchaser be deemed a Title Objection.

8. APPORTIONMENTS
(a) The following shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Apportionment Date”), such that Purchaser shall be treated as the owner of the Property for purposes of prorations of income and expenses, on and after the day of Closing:
(i) except for non-refundable fees, and the non-refundable portion of similar deposits (cleaning fees, security deposits, and the like), all fixed rents (“Fixed Rents”), together with any operating expenses, real estate taxes, percentage rent, and other charges (collectively, “Additional Rent”) and all other rent or income (Fixed Rents, Additional Rent and all other rent or income, collectively, “Rents”) paid pursuant to Leases for the month in which the Closing occurs, shall be apportioned between Purchaser and Seller based upon the number of days during the month in which the Closing Date occurs that each party actually owned the Property. All other Rents will be apportioned in accordance with Section 8(b) hereof;
(ii) real estate taxes are to be prorated based on Section 8(c) hereof Sewer rents and taxes, water rates and charges (to the extent not accounted for pursuant to clause (i) above or (iii) below), vault charges and taxes, business improvement district taxes and assessments and any other governmental taxes, charges or assessments levied or assessed against the Premises (collectively, “Property Taxes”), on the basis of the respective periods for which each is assessed or imposed, are to be apportioned in accordance with Section 8(c) hereof;
(iii) charges for all utilities and other due and unpaid operating expenses shall be paid by Seller (and apportioned if necessary) in accordance with Sections 8(d) hereof;
(iv) prepaid fees for licenses and other permits assigned to Purchaser at the Closing (which cover any period after the Closing);
(v) any amounts prepaid or payable by the owner of the Property under Contracts (if any) which are expressly to be assumed by Purchaser at Closing;
(vi) all other operating expenses with respect to the Premises to the extent such matters are customarily apportioned in connection with real estate closings of commercial properties located in Orlando, Florida; and
(vii) all Seller Capital Improvements/Repairs (as defined in Section 10(c)), based upon the number of days of the projected useful life of such Seller Capital Improvements/Repairs that each party actually owned the Property.
(b) If, on the Apportionment Date, there are any past due Rents owing by any tenant for any period through the Apportionment Date, Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect the same after the Closing Date (provided Purchaser shall not be obligated to institute legal proceedings against any tenant with regard to the same, but Seller shall retain its right to institute legal proceedings against such tenant in the event payment has not been received within thirty (30) days after Closing). Any Rent received (net of Purchaser’s reasonable costs of collection) from any tenant after the Closing Date shall be
11
applied in the following order of priority: (A) first, to current Rent, (B) second, to Rent arrearages with respect to the month in which the Closing Date occurs (subject to apportionment pursuant to Section 8(a) above), (C) third, to Rent arrearages with respect to the period prior to the month in which the Closing Date occurs, (D) fourth, to Rent arrearages with respect to the period following the month in which the Closing Date shall occur, and (E) all other Rent collected shall belong to Purchaser, provided, however, if any Rent payment is specifically marked as payment for a particular month during which Seller owned the Property and (x) such tenant’s Rent was, in fact, in arrears for such month and (y) Seller has not received Rent from said tenant for such month pursuant to this Section 8(b), then such Rent payment shall belong to Seller (and if said Rent payment is made by check payable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall endorse the check and promptly deliver the same to Seller). Any Rents received directly or indirectly by Seller or Purchaser following the Closing Date which are the property of the other, shall be paid to the other within five (5) business days following receipt thereof.
(c) Property Taxes shall be apportioned on the basis of the fiscal period for which assessed. If the Closing Date shall occur either before an assessment is made or a tax rate is fixed for the tax period in which the Closing Date occurs, the apportionment of such Property Taxes based thereon shall be made at the Closing Date by applying the tax rate for the preceding year to the latest assessed valuation, but, promptly after the assessment and/or tax rate for the current year are fixed, the apportionment thereof shall be recalculated at the actual tax rate payable (taking into account any available discounts) and Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall promptly make an appropriate payment to the other based on such recalculation.
(d) Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that the amounts of all telephone, electric, gas, steam, sewer, water bills, trash removal bills, and janitorial and maintenance service bills (collectively, “Utilities”) relating to the Property and allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be determined and paid by Seller before Closing, if possible, or shall be paid thereafter by Seller or adjusted between Purchaser and Seller after the same have been determined. Seller shall attempt to have all utility meters read as of the Closing Date. Seller shall promptly pay all unpaid bills, which obligation shall survive Closing and the delivery of the deed. Seller shall further attempt to obtain from the provider of same, all other service statements and bills of account.
(e) Intentionally deleted.
(f) Purchaser shall pay to Seller at Closing all sums held in reserve or escrow accounts under the Existing Loan, including without limitation reserve accounts to pay for real property taxes, casualty insurance, capital repairs and replacements and similar items, Interest payments relating to the Existing Loan for the month in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated at Closing.
(g) At or prior to the Closing, Seller and Purchaser and/or their respective agents or designees will jointly prepare a preliminary closing statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) which will show the net amount due either to Seller or to Purchaser as the result of the adjustments and prorations provided for herein, and such net due amount will be added to or subtracted from the cash balance of the Purchase Price to be paid to Seller at the Closing pursuant to Section 3 hereof, as applicable. Within ninety (90) days
12
following the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser will jointly prepare a final closing statement reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser in form and substance (the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth the final determination of the adjustments and prorations provided for herein and setting forth any items which are not capable of being determined at such time (and the manner in which such items shall be determined and paid). The net amount due Seller or Purchaser, if any, by reason of adjustments to the Preliminary Closing Statement as shown in the Final Closing Statement, shall be paid in cash by the party obligated therefore within ten (10) business days following that party’s receipt of the approved Final Closing Statement. The adjustments, prorations and determinations agreed to by Seller and Purchaser in the Final Closing Statement shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto, except to the extent that any such determinations are not able to be finally determined until a later date (such as Additional Rent and Property Taxes) or are expressly subject to a longer survival period hereunder, Seller and Purchaser agree that any items which are not capable of being determined at the time the Final Closing Statement shall be determined and paid in the manner set forth in the Final Closing Statement. Prior to and following the Closing Date, each party shall provide the other with such information as the other shall reasonably request (including, without limitation, access to the books, records, files and ledgers) information and data with respect to the Property during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice in order to make the preliminary and final adjustments and prorations provided for herein.
(h) The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the deed.
9. PROPERTY NOT INCLUDED IN SALE.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is expressly agreed by the parties hereto that any fixtures, furniture, furnishings, equipment or other personal property (including, without limitation, trade fixtures in, on, around or affixed to the Premises) owned or leased by any tenant or by any managing agent, leasing agent, contractor, or employee at the Premises shall not be included in the Property to be sold to Purchaser hereunder.

(ii) amend or modify (other than non-material amendments or modifications, or amendments and/or modifications which do not survive the Closing) or renew any of the Contracts; or

In the event that Seller deems it necessary to perform a Seller Capital Improvement/Repairs, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Purchaser of such Seller Capital Improvement/Repair as soon as practicable. In the event Seller elects to perform a Seller Capital Improvements/Repairs, then the cost of such Seller Capital Improvements/Repairs shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser in accordance with Section 8 above, provided that, in the event that Seller intends to make any Seller Capital Improvements/Repairs for which Purchaser’s apportioned share would exceed $250,000.00, the cost of such Seller Capital Improvements/Repairs shall be the responsibility of Seller.
(d) At the Closing, Seller (i) shall transfer or cause to be transferred to Purchaser the security deposits then held by Seller and not applied to defaults or returned to tenants as above provided, or (ii) at Seller’s election, credit Purchaser for any security deposits then held by Seller and not transferred to Purchaser.
(e) Whenever in this Agreement Seller is required to obtain Purchaser’s approval with respect to any transaction described therein, Purchaser shall, within three (3) business days after receipt of Seller’s request therefore, notify Seller of its approval or disapproval of same and, if Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its disapproval within said three (3) business day period, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved same.
14

11. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING.
(a) Purchaser’s obligation to close the transactions hereunder shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, provided that Purchaser, at its election, upon written notice delivered to Seller at or prior to the Closing, may waive all or any of such conditions:

(iv) All of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 13(b) of this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects; provided, however, that it shall not be deemed a failure of a condition to Closing under this Section (and shall also not be deemed a default by Seller) if any such representations or warranties (which were true when made) have become untrue after the date hereof due to any reason that was not caused by an act or omission to act of Seller (which act or omission violates the express terms of this Agreement).
(v) Existing Lender shall have approved the assumption of the Existing Indebtedness by Purchaser.

15
(c) Purchaser acknowledges that Seller does not guarantee the satisfaction of the conditions precedent listed in this Section 11 and that Seller’s failure to satisfy such conditions (for any reason other than Seller’s bad faith) shall not be deemed to be a default hereunder but rather, same shall merely be a failure of a condition to Closing, in which event Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit. Further, at Seller’s election, Seller shall be permitted to extend the Closing Date for any period of time up to thirty (30) days in order to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Section 11 (a).
12. FIRPTA COMPLIANCE.
Seller shall comply with the provisions of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended), as the same may be amended from time to time, or any successor or similar law. Seller acknowledges that Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a United States real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. To inform Purchaser that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a United States real property interest by Seller, Seller hereby represents and warrants that Seller is not a foreign person as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations. On the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a certification as to Seller’s non-foreign status in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3, and shall comply with any temporary or final regulations promulgated with respect thereto and any relevant revenue procedures or other officially published announcements of the Internal Revenue Service of the U.S. Department of the Treasury in connection therewith.
13. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
(a) Purchaser expressly acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the documents executed at Closing, forms of which are set forth on the exhibits attached hereto, neither Seller, nor any person acting on behalf of Seller, nor any person or entity which prepared or provided any of the materials reviewed by Purchaser in conducting its due diligence, nor any direct or indirect officer, director, partner, shareholder, employee, agent, representative, accountant, advisor, attorney, principal, affiliate, consultant, contractor, successor or assign of any of the foregoing parties (Seller, and all of the other parties described in the preceding portions of this sentence (other than Purchaser) shall. be referred to herein collectively as the “Exculpated Parties”) has made any oral or written representations or warranties, whether expressed or implied, by operation of law or otherwise, with respect to the Leases, the Contracts, the Personalty, the Property, the zoning and other laws, regulations and rules applicable thereto or the compliance by the Property therewith, the revenues and expenses generated by or associated with the Property, or otherwise relating to the Property, or the transactions contemplated herein. Purchaser further acknowledges that except as specifically provided in Section 1.3(b) herein, all materials which have been provided by any of the Exculpated Parties have been provided without any warranty or representation, expressed or implied as to their content, suitability for any purpose, accuracy, truthfulness or completeness, and Purchaser shall not have any recourse against Seller or any of the other Exculpated Parties in the event of any errors therein or omissions therefrom, unless such errors or omissions are caused by Seller’s fraud (as finally determined by a court of competent Jurisdiction beyond all applicable appeal periods), in which case such recourse shall be limited to actual damages suffered by Purchaser, but in no event shall Purchaser have any recourse for any consequential or
16
punitive damages. Purchaser is acquiring the Property “As-Is” “Where-Is” based solely on its own independent investigation and inspection of the Property and not in reliance on any information provided by Seller, or any of the other Exculpated Parties, except for the representations expressly set forth herein.
(b) Seller hereby represents to Purchaser that the following are true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof:

(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance by Seller of its obligations hereunder do not and will not conflict with or violate any law, rule, judgment, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental or quasi-governmental entity with jurisdiction over Seller, including, without limitation, the United States of America, the state of Delaware, or any political subdivision of either of the foregoing, or any decision or ruling of any arbitrator to which Seller is a party, or by which Seller is bound or affected, which would prevent Seller from performing its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
(iv) To the best of Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule H attached hereto, no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding, whether legal or administrative or in mediation or arbitration, is pending or at law or in equity affecting the Property or Seller, before or by any court or federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality which would adversely affect the Property or prevent Seller from performing its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
(v) Attached hereto as Schedule F is a complete copy of the rent roll for the Property dated as of May 31, 2003 (the “Rent Roll”). To Seller’s knowledge, there are no material monetary defaults by the tenants under the Leases set forth on the Rent Roll beyond any applicable notice, grace and cure periods, which remain uncured other than as set forth on the delinquency report delivered to Purchaser dated as of May 31, 2003 (the “Delinquency Report”).

(ix) The Loan Documents represent the complete agreement between Seller and Existing Lender as to all rights, liabilities and obligations of Seller and Existing Lender with respect to the Existing Loan in all material respects.
(x) The Loan Documents have not been cancelled, modified or amended, except as disclosed in writing to Purchaser.

(xii) To Seller’s knowledge, there are no monetary defaults or material non-monetary defaults by Seller under the Loan Documents beyond any applicable notice, grace and cure periods, which remain uncured, and Seller shall continue to make any payments as required under the Loan Documents until the Closing Date.
(xiii) The principal place of business for both Seller and Master Tenant (as hereinafter defined) is the address of the Premises.
(c) All of the representations and warranties contained in Section 13(b) shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the deed for one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date, except that the representations contained in clauses 13(b)(i) and (iii) shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the deed for one (1) year following the Closing Date. Each such representation and/or warranty shall automatically be null and void and of no further force and effect after the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days, or one (1) year as the case may be, following the Closing Date unless, prior to the end of such period, Purchaser shall have delivered written notice to Seller alleging that Seller was in breach of such representation or warranty when made, which notice shall contain the details of such allegation, and that Purchaser has suffered actual damages as a result thereof (a “Proceeding”).
(d) If Purchaser shall have timely commenced a Proceeding, and a court of competent jurisdiction shall, pursuant to a final, non-appealable order in connection with such Proceeding, determine that (1) Seller was in breach of a representation or warranty as of the date made, and (2) Purchaser suffered actual damages (as distinguished from consequential damages) (the “Damages”) by reason of such breach, and (3) Purchaser did not have actual or constructive knowledge of such breach on or prior to the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to its Damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Purchaser be entitled to ▇▇▇, seek, obtain or be awarded Damages from Seller, unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages for which the Seller is obligated to indemnify Purchaser exceeds the sum of Twenty Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) (the “Base Amount”), whereupon Seller shall be liable to the Purchaser for all Damages accruing above the
18
Base Amount; provided that, in connection with (i) any and all breaches of the representations and warranties of Sellers hereunder, or (ii) liability of Seller under any of the closing documents (except as otherwise expressly provided therein) or any other liability of Seller hereunder which survives the Closing, in no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for, nor Purchaser be entitled to receive, an amount in excess of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND and 00/100 DOLLARS ($500,000.00) (“Seller’s Maximum Liability.”) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event only that Purchaser has suffered Damages as a result of fraud (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction beyond all applicable appeal periods) by Seller, such Damages shall not be limited to Seller’s Maximum Liability.
(e) For the purposes of this Agreement the term “to Seller’s knowledge,” and similar terms, shall be limited to the actual knowledge of F. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Seller Knowledge Party”). The knowledge of others shall not be imputed to the Seller Knowledge Party. No other investigation, review or inquiry of any persons, or other action shall be required of the Seller Knowledge Party, except that the Seller Knowledge Party shall make due inquiry of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. The parties hereby agree that recourse under this Agreement is limited to Seller and no claim will be made against F. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ individually or in his capacity as the Seller Knowledge Party or against ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any time prior to the Closing Date Purchaser, or Purchaser’s Representatives obtain knowledge that any of Seller’s representations or warranties were untrue when made (in any material respect), or if Seller has delivered or made available to Purchaser information with respect to the Property, and such information is inconsistent with any of the representations and warranties herein and/or indicate that any such representations or warranties were not true when made (in any material respect), Purchaser shall be deemed to have knowledge of such misrepresentation, and that Purchaser’s sole remedy thereto shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit (thereby waiving all rights to seek and recover Damages against the Seller), and thereafter, Purchaser and Seller shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for those that are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof; and if notwithstanding such breach of a representation, Purchaser elects to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its rights to recover Damages from Seller following the Closing.
(g) Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller as of the date hereof that:
(i) Purchaser is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware, and has tile requisite power and authority to carry on its business in the state of Delaware as it is now being conducted.
(ii) This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms. Purchaser has taken all necessary action to authorize and approve the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iv) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance by Purchaser of its obligations hereunder do not and will not conflict with or violate any law, rule, judgment, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental or quasi-governmental entity with jurisdiction over Purchaser, including, without limitation, the United States of America, the state of Delaware, or any political subdivision of either of the foregoing, or any decision or ruling of any arbitrator to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser is bound or affected, which would prevent Purchaser from performing its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
(h) All of the representations and warranties contained in Section 13(g) shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the deed for one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date, except that the representations contained in clauses 13(g)(i) and (iv) shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the deed for one (1) year following the Closing Date.
(i) From and after Closing, Purchaser agrees for itself and for its heirs, successors and assigns, to waive all of its rights under this Agreement (if any) and any Environmental Laws to require Seller to remediate or “clean up” the Premises, including without limitation.

(a) Whenever in this Agreement it is provided that Purchaser’s successors and/or transferees and/or assignees shall have any rights or obligations, such phrase shall be deemed to include all designees of Purchaser as well as all of the transferees, successors and assigns of Purchaser and such designees.
(b) This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and together constitute one and the same instrument. Faxed signatures of this Agreement or any amendments hereto shall be accepted by the parties hereunder.
(c) Any consent or approval to be given hereunder (whether by Seller or Purchaser) shall not be effective unless the same shall be given in advance of the taking of the action for which consent or approval is requested and shall be in writing. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any consent or approval requested of Seller or Purchaser may be withheld by Seller or Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion.
(d) The following provisions govern any actions for indemnity under this Agreement. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim, such indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnitor, deliver to the indemnitor written notice thereof and the indemnitor shall have the right to participate in and, if the indemnitor agrees in writing that it will be responsible for any costs, expenses, judgments, damages, and losses incurred by the indemnitee with respect to such claim, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitee, if the indemnitee reasonably believes that representation of such indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure of indemnitee to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall relieve such indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee under this indemnity if and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, and the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnitor will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnitee other than under this indemnity. If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, then the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to such claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld such consent.
(e) Escrow Agent is hereby designated the “real estate reporting person” for purposes of Section 6045 of Title 26 of the United States Code and Treasury Regulation 1.6045-4 and any instructions or settlement statement prepared by Escrow Agent
30

(g) This Agreement contains all of the terms agreed upon between Seller and Purchaser with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, between Seller and Purchaser are merged into this Agreement.
(h) This Agreement may not be changed, modified or terminated, except by an instrument executed by Seller and Purchaser.
(i) No waiver by either party of any failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply.
(j) If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(k) The headings of the various sections of this Agreement have been inserted only for the purposes of convenience and are not part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed in any manner to modify, explain, expand or restrict any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(l) This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to conflict of laws principles thereof.
(m) This Agreement and the various rights and obligations arising hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Seller and Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns, provided, however, that none of the representations or warranties made by Seller hereunder shall inure to the benefit of any person or entity that may succeed to Purchaser’s interest in the Property or this Agreement after the Closing Date.
(n) Purchaser shall not assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any of the direct or indirect ownership interests in Purchaser, without first obtaining Seller’s consent thereto, provided, however, that the Purchaser named herein shall have the one-time right to assign this Agreement to a Controlled Affiliate (as

defined below) without the consent of Seller. “Controlled Affiliate” shall mean any entity (i) controlled by Purchaser and (ii) the majority of the beneficial interests in which are owned, directly or indirectly, by Purchaser, in each case as of the date of the assignment and the Closing Date. “Controlled by” means the power and authority to direct the business and affairs of the assignee by reason of the ownership of a majority of the beneficial interests in such assignee, by contract or otherwise. Any such assignment shall be conditioned upon Purchaser delivering to Seller an executed original of the assignment and assumption agreement wherein the assignee assumes all of the obligations of the Purchaser named herein and proof reasonably satisfactory to Seller that the assignee constitutes a “Controlled Affiliate.” In the event that Purchaser assigns this Agreement to a Controlled Affiliate, such Controlled Affiliate shall be deemed the Purchaser for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or that Seller may consent to air assignment or transfer of this Agreement, no such assignment or transfer shall relieve the Purchaser named herein of any of its obligations hereunder which accrued prior to the date of such assignment, nor any of the obligations contained in Section 4.
(o) Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum hereof may be recorded without first obtaining Seller’s consent thereto which may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion.
