If Seller does not remove or cure such Objection prior to the date of Closing, Buyer may terminate this Agreement, in which case the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all out of pocket costs and expenses incurred hereunder and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.
(b) (i) Within five (5) days following the Effective Date, Seller shall provide to Buyer copies of the following documents and materials pertaining to the Property to the extent within Seller’s possession or in the possession of Seller’s counsel: (A) a complete copy of all leases affecting the Property and all amendments thereto and of all material correspondence relating thereto; (B) a copy of all surveys and site plans of the Property; (C) a copy of all environmental reports for the Property; (D) a copy of all architectural plans and specifications and construction drawings and contracts for improvements to be located on the Property; (E) a copy of Seller’s historical title insurance commitments and policies relating to the Property; (F) all contracts and insurance policies which affect the Property; and (ii) within five (5) days following the commencement of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall provide to Buyer copies of the following documents and materials pertaining to the Property to the extent within Seller’s possession or in the possession of Seller’s counsel: (A) a copy of the certificate of occupancy and zoning reports for the Property; (B) a copy of all governmental permits/approvals; (C) a copy of all engineering and physical condition reports for the Property; (D) copies of the Property’s real estate tax bills for the current tax year; (E) all service contracts and insurance policies which affect the Property, if any; (F) a copy of all warranties relating to the improvements constructed on the Property, including without limitation any roof warranties; and (G) a written inventory of all items of personal property to be conveyed to Buyer, if any (the “Due Diligence Materials”).

Additionally, during the term of this Agreement, Buyer, its agents and designees, shall have the right to enter the Property for the purposes of inspecting the Property, conducting soil tests, and making surveys, mechanical and structural engineering studies, inspecting construction, and conducting any other investigations and inspections as Buyer may reasonably require to assess the condition and suitability of the Property; provided, however, that such activities by or on behalf of Buyer on the Property shall not damage the Property nor interfere with construction on the Property or the conduct of business by Tenant under the Lease; and provided further, however, that Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller and Tenant harmless from and against any and all claims or damages to the extent resulting directly from the activities of Buyer on the Property, and Buyer shall repair any and all damage caused, in whole or in part, by Buyer and return the Property to its condition prior to such damage, which obligation shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with the efforts of Buyer and the Buyer’s representatives to inspect the Land on the Property and the Buildings. After the Effective Date, Buyer shall be permitted to speak and meet with Tenant in connection with Buyer’s due diligence, provided, however, that any such Tenant contact shall be coordinated through Seller. Upon signing this agreement, Seller shall provide Buyer with the name of a contact person(s) for
5
the purpose of arranging site visits. Buyer shall give Seller reasonable written notice (which in any event shall not be less than three (3) business days) before entering the Property, and Seller may have a representative present during any and all examinations, inspections and/or studies on the Property. Buyer shall have the unconditional right, for any reason or no reason, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which event this Agreement shall become null and void, Buyer shall receive a refund of the Earnest Money, and all rights, liabilities and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall expire with respect to the Property, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. In the event that the Due Diligence materials enumerated in Section 6(b)(ii) above disclose any matters which need completion or correction, such matters shall be completed or corrected by Seller.

(c) Within five (5) days following the Effective Date, Seller shall request Estoppel Certificates certified to Buyer, the Approved Assignees and their Lender, successors and assigns (and simultaneously provide Buyer with a copy of such request). It shall be a condition of Closing that Seller shall have obtained an estoppel certificate from Tenant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F for the Property (the “Tenant Estoppel Certificate”) and Seller shall use good faith efforts to obtain the same; provided, however, that if the Tenant Estoppel Certificate is not provided by Tenant on or before the date set for Closing, then Buyer and Seller agree to proceed to Closing with Seller providing a Seller-based Estoppel Certificate and with Seller depositing Ten Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) in escrow funds with the Escrow Agent (and under the terms of a Post-Closing Escrow Holdback Agreement in a form and substance acceptable to Buyer and Seller (and also acceptable to Escrow Agent), and with such escrow funds to be disbursed to Seller upon the delivery of the Tenant Estoppel Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F). Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer photocopies or pdf files of the executed estoppel certificates when Seller receives the same.
(d) Seller shall use good faith efforts to obtain a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from Tenant in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Buyer’s Lender, if applicable, (the “SNDA”).
(e) Seller shall use good faith efforts to obtain estoppel certificates with respect to reciprocal easement agreements, if any, as may be reasonably requested by Buyer.
7.Risk of Loss/Condemnation. Upon an occurrence of a casualty, condemnation or taking with respect to the Property, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of same. Until Closing, the risk of loss or damage to all of the Property, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be borne by Seller. In the event all or any portion of the Property is damaged in any casualty or condemned or taken (or notice of any condemnation or taking is issued) so that: (a) Tenant has a right of termination or abatement of rent under the Lease for such Property, or (b) with respect to any casualty, if the cost to repair such casualty would exceed $50,000, or (c) with respect to any condemnation, any Improvements or access to the Property or more than five percent (5%) of the Property is (or will be) condemned or taken, then, Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Property by providing written notice of such termination to Seller within ten (10) business days after Buyer’s receipt of notice of such condemnation, taking or damage, upon which termination the Earnest Money shall be returned to
6
the Buyer as set forth on Exhibit A1 and neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement with respect to such Property, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. With respect to any condemnation or taking (of any notice thereof), if Buyer does not elect to cancel this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing the rights of Seller to the awards, if any, for the condemnation or taking, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep all such awards. With respect to a casualty, if Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Property or does not have the right to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing the rights of Seller to the proceeds under Seller’s insurance policies covering such Property with respect to such damage or destruction (or pay to Buyer any such proceeds received prior to Closing) and pay to Buyer the amount of any deductible with respect thereto, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep any monies received from such insurance policies.
8.Earnest Money Disbursement. The Earnest Money shall be held by Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) If the Closing occurs, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to, or upon the instructions of, Seller and Buyer on the Closing Date to be applied as part payment of the Purchase Price. If for any reason the Closing does not occur, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this clause (a). Subject to the last sentence of this clause (a), if for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand (the “Demand”) upon Escrow Agent for payment of the Earnest Money, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of the Demand within one business day after receipt of the Demand. If Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within five (5) business days after the giving of such notice by Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make the payment set forth in the Demand. If Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such period, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court of proper jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (a) if Buyer delivers a notice to Escrow Agent stating that Buyer has terminated this Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Earnest Money to Buyer without the necessity of delivering any notice to, or receiving any notice from Seller.
(b) The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller or Buyer resulting from Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting Escrow Agent scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement
7
or involving negligence on the part of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that Escrow Agent has received and shall hold the Earnest Money in escrow, and shall disburse the Earnest Money pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.
9.Default
(a) In the event that Seller is ready, willing and able to close in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, and Buyer defaults in any of its obligations undertaken in this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to, as its sole and exclusive remedy to either: (i) if Buyer is willing to proceed to Closing, waive such default and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; or (ii) declare this Agreement to be terminated, and Seller shall be entitled to immediately receive all of the Earnest Money as liquidated damages as and for Seller’s sole remedy. Upon such termination, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Seller and Buyer agree that (a) actual damages due to Buyer’s default hereunder would be difficult and inconvenient to ascertain and that such amount is not a penalty and is fair and reasonable in light of all relevant circumstances, (b) the amount specified as liquidated damages is not disproportionate to the damages that would be suffered and the costs that would be incurred by Seller as a result of having withdrawn the Property from the market, and (c) Buyer desires to limit its liability under this Agreement to the amount of the Earnest Money paid in the event Buyer fails to complete Closing. Upon Seller’s receipt of the Earnest Money as liquidated damages for Buyer’s default, Seller waives any right to recover the balance of the Purchase Price, or any part thereof, and the right to pursue any other remedy permitted at law or in equity against Buyer. In no event under this Section or otherwise shall Buyer be liable to Seller for any punitive, speculative or consequential damages.
(b) In the event of a default in the obligations herein taken by Seller for the Closing, or in the event of the failure of a condition precedent to Closing set forth in Section 13 of this Agreement that remains uncured by Seller within two (2) days following written notice of such failure by Buyer, with the Closing Date extended accordingly, Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, elect one of the following remedies within thirty (30) days following the date of the Seller’s default: (i) waive any unsatisfied conditions and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; (ii) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller no later than Closing, as may be extended as provided above, upon which termination the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer, Seller shall pay to Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement, not to exceed $20,000.00, which return and payment shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller and Buyer from any and all liability hereunder, except those which are specifically stated herein to survive any termination hereof; (iii) to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder; or (iv) by notice to Seller given on or before the Closing Date, extend the Closing Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days (the “Closing Extension Period”) to permit Seller to remedy any such default, and the “Closing Date” shall be moved to the last day of the Closing Extension Period. If Buyer so extends the Closing Date, then Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, cause said conditions to be satisfied during the Closing Extension Period. If Seller does not cause said conditions to be satisfied during the Closing Extension Period, then Buyer shall have the right to elect one of the remedies set forth in Section 9(b)(i) through (iii)
8
above, which election shall be made within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Closing Extension Period, except that the term “Closing” shall be revised to reflect the Buyer’s election of remedies under this Section 9(b). In no event under this Section or otherwise shall Seller be liable to Buyer for any punitive, speculative or consequential damages.
10.Closing The Closing shall consist of the execution and delivery of documents by Seller and Buyer with respect to the Property as set forth below, and delivery by Buyer to Seller of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Seller shall deliver to Escrow Agent for the benefit of Buyer at Closing the following executed documents for the Property:
(a) a Special Warranty Deed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B;
(b) an Assignment and Assumption of Lease and Security Deposits, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C;

(i) all transfer tax statements, declarations and filings as may be necessary or appropriate for purposes of recordation of the deed;
(j) good standing certificate for Seller and corporate resolutions or member or partner consent for Seller, as applicable, and such other corporate authority documents as reasonably requested by Escrow Agent;
(k) to the extent not previously delivered to Buyer, the Leases, bearing the original signatures of the landlord and tenant thereunder, or a copy thereof bearing an original certification of Tenant confirming that the copy is true, correct and complete; the leasing files; and copies of all books and records applicable to the Property which are identified by Buyer by
9
written notice to Seller and reasonably necessary for the orderly transition of operation of the Property;
(l) a certificate pursuant to Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the regulations issued pursuant thereto, certifying the non foreign status of Seller;

(n) letter to Tenant in form of Exhibit H attached hereto;

(p) such other instruments as are reasonably required by Escrow Agent to close the escrow and consummate the purchase of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof.
At Closing, Buyer shall instruct Escrow Agent to deliver the Earnest Money to Seller which shall be applied to the Purchase Price, shall deliver the balance of the Purchase Price to Seller and shall execute and deliver execution counterparts of the closing documents referenced in clauses (b) and (h) above. Buyer shall have the right to advance the Closing upon five (5) days prior written notice to Seller; provided that all conditions precedent to both Buyer’s and Seller’s respective obligations to proceed with Closing under this Agreement have been satisfied (or, if there are conditions to a party’s obligation to proceed with Closing that remain unsatisfied, such conditions have been waived by such party). Buyer shall have a one time right to extend the Closing for up to five (5) days upon written notice to Seller to be received by Seller on or prior to two (2) days prior the date scheduled for the Closing. The Closing shall be held through the mail by delivery of the closing documents to the Escrow Agent on or prior to the Closing or such other place or manner as the parties hereto may mutually agree.

During the pendency of the transaction contemplated herein, Seller shall promptly inform Buyer in writing of any material event adversely affecting the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Property, whether insured or not.
17.Post-Closing Covenants.
(a) For a time period of one (1) year after the date that constitutes completion of construction under the Leases for purposes of any Landlord warranties or responsibilities under the Lease with respect to repairs and maintenance, Seller shall be and remain responsible for completing any warranty work or curing any related defaults by the landlord under the Lease. It is acknowledged that Seller may satisfy its obligations under this Section by causing the general contractor it hired to construct the Building, Ruedebusch Development & Construction, Inc. (the “General Contractor”), to perform such obligations under and by reason of the Letter of Warranty (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J) or otherwise. Seller further agrees that it will remain adequately capitalized in a manner such that Seller shall have sufficient funds in order to comply with its obligations as described in this Section 17. In the event that Seller fails to comply with said cure and warranty obligations, Buyer may, after giving thirty (30) days written notice to Seller and Seller having failed to commence and diligently pursue to completion curative action required under the Lease within said time period, proceed to remedy such default on its own and shall have recourse against Seller for any expenses incurred thereby (it being acknowledged that Seller will have ninety (90) days to complete any such warranty obligations before Buyer shall have the right to provide a notice hereunder, provided, however, that such ninety (90) day period shall be extended for any warranty obligations that cannot be completed using commercially reasonable efforts within such ninety (90) day period on the condition that Seller and/or the General Contractor takes steps to commence remedying any such Punch-List
14
items and proceed thereafter continuously to remedy the same within a period of time which, under all prevailing circumstances, shall be commercially reasonable). Neither payment nor acceptance of the Purchase Price nor any provision in this Agreement will be deemed to constitute a waiver by Buyer of Seller’s responsibility under this Section. This Section, and all provisions contained herein, shall survive the Closing. The obligations of Seller pursuant to this Section shall continue beyond the one-year period specified herein as to warranty work or the curing of any defaults required by the landlord pursuant to the Lease if such defect or default is discovered during the one-year warranty period and is not cured by the Seller within that one-year warranty period. In other words, defects or defaults which arise or exist prior to the date of expiration of the one-year warranty period must be cured and corrected by the Seller even though the curing or corrective action may not be commenced or completed until after the date of expiration of the one-year warranty period.
(b) The parties shall deposit into escrow with Escrow Agent at Closing pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer (the “Escrow Agreement”) a portion of the Purchase Price equal to 125% of the estimated cost of completing the Punch-List items, which estimate shall be reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer (the “Construction Escrow Deposit”). The “Punch-List” described herein shall be prepared jointly by Tenant and the General Contractor. After Closing, Seller shall direct the General Contractor to complete all Punch-List items until accepted by Tenant, and the Escrow Agreement shall provide: (i) that Seller will have ninety (90) days to complete the Punch-List items to Tenant’s and Buyer's reasonable satisfaction, provided, however, that such ninety (90) day period shall be extended for any Punch-List items that cannot be completed using commercially reasonable efforts within such ninety (90) day period on the condition that Seller and/or the General Contractor takes steps to commence remedying any such Punch-List items and proceed thereafter continuously to remedy the same within a period of time which, under all prevailing circumstances, shall be commercially reasonable; (ii) once so completed, the full amount of the Construction Escrow Deposit will be paid to Seller; and (iii) if Seller fails to complete all of the Punch-List items within said 90-day period, as the same may be extended, then Buyer shall have the right to complete the repair and receive payment of the cost thereof from the Construction Escrow Deposit and any unused portion of the Construction Escrow Deposit shall be paid to Seller.
(c) Section 2(C) of the Lease provides Tenant with certain rights (the “Expansion Option”) with respect to an expansion of the Building and related improvements (which expansion will be referred to herein as the “Expansion”). Following the Closing, in the event that Tenant elects to exercise its Expansion Option, Buyer shall be obligated to deliver to Seller a copy of any notice from Tenant with regard to the exercise of that Expansion Option within ten (10) days following its receipt thereof (with any such notice from Buyer to Seller being referred to as an “Expansion Notice”). Upon receipt of any such Expansion Notice, the Seller will have the right to deliver a written notice to the Buyer (herein referred to as a “Development Notice”) indicating its desire to provide development services to complete the Expansion. If the Seller fails to deliver a Development Notice to the Buyer within fifteen (15) days following its receipt of any such Expansion Notice, the Seller will be deemed to have waived and relinquished any rights hereunder with respect to the Expansion. Conversely, if the Seller does timely provide the Buyer with a Development Notice hereunder, then the Buyer agrees that it will not initiate or entertain negotiations with any third party developer, general
15
contractor or construction manager (any of which being referred to herein as a “Third Party Developer”) during the thirty (30) day period following its delivery of the Expansion Notice (the “Mutual Discussion Period”). During the Mutual Discussion Period, if the Buyer and Seller mutually agree, in each party’s sole and absolute discretion, then the Buyer and Seller will enter into a development agreement in form and substance reasonably agreed upon between the parties hereto (the “Development Agreement”) and such other agreements as reasonably necessary to effectuate the Expansion, which agreements shall define the obligations of the Parties with respect to the Expansion. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 17(c) to the contrary, if Tenant informs Buyer that Tenant does not desire to have Developer involved in the development of the Expansion, then Buyer will have no obligation to enter into a Development Agreement with Developer or pay any Development Fee to Developer in connection with the Expansion.
(d) Survival. The provisions of this Agreement pertaining to the Expansion, the Development Agreement and the Development Fee shall survive Closing.
18.Performance on Business Days. A "business day" is a day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday recognized by the Federal Government. Furthermore, if any date upon which or by which action is required under this Agreement is not a business day, then the date for such action shall be extended to the first day that is after such date and is a business day.
19.Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement among the parties hereto and no modification of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed by all parties hereto. No prior agreement or understanding pertaining to the subject matter hereof (including, without limitation, any letter of intent executed prior to this Agreement) shall be valid or of any force or effect from and after the date hereof.
20. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall be invalid or unenforceable, at any time or to any extent, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby. Each provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law
21. No Representations or Warranties. Buyer hereby acknowledges, understands and agrees that it has an opportunity to inspect the Property as set forth in Section 6 herein, and except as set forth in this Agreement, the Property shall be conveyed at Closing to Buyer in “as-is” condition with no representation or warranties whatsoever.
22. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the State or Commonwealth in which the Property is located, without giving effect to any state's conflict of laws principles.
23. Tax-Deferred Exchange. Buyer and Seller respectively acknowledge that the purchase and sale of the Property contemplated hereby may be part of a separate exchange (an “Exchange”) being made by each party pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code
16
of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated with respect thereto. In the event that either party (the “Exchanging Party”) desires to effectuate such an exchange, then the other party (the “Non-Exchanging Party”) agrees to cooperate fully with the Exchanging Party in order that the Exchanging Party may effectuate such an exchange; provided, however, that with respect to such Exchange (a) all additional costs, fees and expenses related thereto shall be the sole responsibility of, and borne by, the Exchanging Party; (b) the Non-Exchanging Party shall incur no additional liability as a result of such exchange; (c) the contemplated exchange shall not delay any of the time periods or other obligations of the Exchanging Party hereby, and without limiting the foregoing, the scheduled date for Closing shall not be delayed or adversely affected by reason of the Exchange; (d) the accomplishment of the Exchange shall not be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the Exchanging Party's obligations under the Agreement; and (e) the Non-Exchanging Party shall not be required to hold title to any land other than the Property for purposes of the Exchange. The Exchanging Party agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Non-Exchanging Party harmless from any and all liability, damage or cost, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees that may result from Non-Exchanging Party's cooperation with the Exchange. The Non-Exchanging Party shall not, by reason of the Exchange, (i) have its rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any representations, warranties and covenants made by the Exchanging Party in this Agreement (including but not limited to any warranties of title, which, if Seller is the Exchanging Party, shall remain warranties of Seller), or in any of the closing documents (including but not limited to any warranties of title, which, if Seller is the Exchanging Party, shall remain warranties of Seller) contemplated hereby, adversely affected or diminished in any manner, or (ii) be responsible for compliance with or deemed to have warranted to the Exchanging Party that the Exchange complies with Section 1031 of the Code.
24. Broker’s Commissions. Buyer and Seller each hereby represent that there are no brokers involved or that have a right to proceeds in this transaction. Seller and Buyer each hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from all loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees at both trial and appellate levels) incurred by the other as a result of any claim arising out of the acts of the indemnifying party (or others on its behalf) for a commission, finder's fee or similar compensation made by any broker, finder or any party who claims to have dealt with such party. The representations, warranties and indemnity obligations contained in this section shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
25. Assignment. Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement at any time prior to or at Closing, provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder until Closing is complete. Buyer is entering into this Agreement for and on behalf of a related special purpose entity identified on Exhibit A1 (the “Approved Assignee”) and intends to assign its rights hereunder to the Approved Assignee prior to Closing.
26. Attorneys’ Fees. In any action between Buyer and Seller as a result of failure to perform or a default under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party, and the other party shall pay to the prevailing party, the prevailing party’s attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs incurred in such action.
27. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each of Buyer’s and Seller’s obligations hereunder.
17
28. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become a binding agreement when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party. Signatures on this Agreement which are transmitted by electronically shall be valid for all purposes, however any party shall deliver an original signature on this Agreement to the other party upon request.
29. Anti Terrorism. Neither Buyer or Seller, nor any of their affiliates, are in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law (as hereinafter defined) or engages in or conspires to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law. “Anti-Terrorism Laws” shall mean any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, including: Executive Order No. 13224; the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56, as the same has been, or may hereafter be, renewed, extended, amended or replaced; the applicable laws comprising or implementing the Bank Secrecy Act; and the applicable laws administered by the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (as any of the foregoing may from time to time be amended, renewed, extended, or replaced).
