4.1.4 Title Cure. “Title Cure,” as to any particular title matter, means that, at Seller’s expense, Seller causes (A) such title matter to be removed from record title and to no longer affect the Property, (B) subject to Buyer’s approval, the Title Company to provide title insurance over such matter (e.g., by not taking exception for such matter or by providing affirmative coverage over such matter), (C) another cure reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, or (D) a cure agreed to in writing by Buyer and Seller.

Page 10
to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause at or before Closing is herein called a “Committed Title Cure.” Buyer approves each title exception as to which Seller provides at or before Closing a Title Cure as described in clause (B), (C) or (D) above.
4.2Title/Survey Matters. Buyer has the right to object, in accordance with Section 4.2.1 (Objection Process), to (i) any “Initial Title/Survey Matters” (i.e., title exceptions or survey matters, as to which Buyer receives written notice prior to the end of the “Title Review Period” (i.e., the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. Local Time on the day that is ten (10) days prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date) pursuant to Buyer’s review of the Title Commitment or the Survey), and (ii) any “Additional Title/Survey Matters” (i.e., additional title exceptions or survey matters, as to which Buyer first receives written notice after the Due Diligence Expiration Date pursuant to an update of the Title Commitment or the Survey) to the extent permitted under Section 4.2.2 (Basis for Objection).
4.2.1Objection Process.
4.2.1.1Initial Title/Survey Matters. Unless Buyer delivers written notice to Seller that it objects to any Initial Title/Survey Matter (other than a Prohibited Seller Encumbrance), stating the Initial Title/Survey Matter to which it objects (“Initial Title Objection Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Title Review Period, Buyer will be deemed to have approved such Initial Title/Survey Matter, subject to Section 4.3 (Mandatory Title Cure Obligations). A “Disapproved Initial Title/Survey Matter” means an Initial Title/Survey Matter to which Buyer timely objects. Seller shall notify Buyer within five (5) days of receipt of Buyer’s Title Objection Notice whether Seller intends to cure any Disapproved Initial Title/Survey Matters, provided, however, Seller shall be obligated to cure Mandatory Title Cure Obligations. If Seller gives Buyer written notice that it will not provide a Title Cure for any one or more of such Disapproved Additional Title/Survey Matters, then Buyer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller but only if such termination notice is given prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, in which event the Deposit will be promptly returned to Buyer. If Buyer fails to give such termination notice by such time, Buyer will be deemed to have waived its objection to, and approved, such matters, subject to Section 4.3 (Mandatory Title Cure Obligations).
4.2.1.2Additional Title/Survey Matters. Unless Buyer delivers written notice to Seller that it objects to any Additional Title/Survey Matter (other than a Prohibited Seller Encumbrance), stating the Additional Title/Survey Matter to which it objects and the basis for such objection (“Additional Title Objection Notice”) before the sooner to occur of the Closing or five (5) Business Days after receipt of an update to the Title Commitment or the Survey reflecting same, Buyer will be deemed to have approved such Additional Title/Survey Matter, subject to Section 4.3 (Mandatory Title Cure Obligations). A “Disapproved Additional Title/Survey Matter” means an Additional Title/Survey Matter meeting the requirements of Section 4.2.2 (Basis for Objection) to which Buyer timely objects. Until the sooner to occur of the Closing or ten (10) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of any Additional Title Objection Notice, Seller may, in its sole discretion, provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that there will be a Title Cure at Closing, and the Closing Date will be
Page 11
extended to allow for such ten (10) Business Day period. If within such ten (10) Business Day period, Seller either (A) fails to give such evidence that there will be a Title Cure at Closing as to all Disapproved Additional Title/Survey Matters, or (B) gives Buyer written notice that it will not provide a Title Cure for any one or more of such Disapproved Additional Title/Survey Matters, then Buyer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller but only if such termination notice is given prior to the sooner to occur of the Closing or five (5) days after Buyer receives any such Seller’s notice (or five days after the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period, if applicable), in which event the Deposit will be promptly returned to Buyer. If Buyer fails to give such termination notice by such time, Buyer will be deemed to have waived its objection to, and approved, such matters, subject to Section 4.3 (Mandatory Title Cure Obligations). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, should any Disapproved Additional Title/Survey Matter constitute a Prohibited Seller Encumbrance, then Seller shall have the option to either (1) cure such Prohibited Seller Encumbrance by causing it to be released of record (and the Closing may be extended to the extent required to allow for such cure), or (2) to the extent of any Prohibited Seller Encumbrance that constitutes a monetary lien or other encumbrance that can be readily converted to a liquidated amount, either pay off such amount or provide the Buyer with a credit at Closing in the amount of 125% of such amount or in an amount to reasonably account for the diminution in value of the Property or the additional cost imposed to comply with the Prohibited Seller Encumbrance; provided however, that in such event if Seller fails to comply with either clauses (1) or (2) above, then the provisions of Section 11.1 (Breach by Seller) will apply.
4.2.2 Basis for Objection to Additional Title/Survey Matters. After the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Buyer may object to an Additional Title/Survey Matter under Section 4.2.1.2 (Additional Title/Survey Matters) only if (A) in the case of a title matter, it is a “Seller Lien” or an “Additional Lien” (as such quoted terms are defined below) or another matter that (1) was not included on the Title Commitment obtained by Buyer during the Due Diligence Period pursuant to Section 4.1.1 above, (2) is not an Excluded Encumbrance, (3) does not pertain to or is not otherwise required in connection with the Development Approvals, and (4) is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Buyer’s “Proposed Use” (as defined below) of the Property; or (B) in the case of a survey matter, it (1) was not included on the Survey obtained by Buyer during the Due Diligence Period pursuant to Section 4.1.2 above, (2) is not an Excluded Encumbrance, and (3) is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Buyer’s “Proposed Use” (as defined below). Any Additional Title/Survey Matter not meeting the requirements above will be deemed approved.
4.2.3 Definitions.
4.2.3.1 “Additional Lien” means any monetary lien encumbering the Property in a liquidated amount, other than a Seller Lien or an Excluded Encumbrance.
4.2.3.2 “Excluded Encumbrance” means: (A) any lien or other encumbrance arising from the Due Diligence Investigations or otherwise caused by Buyer Conduct; (B) any lien for which Buyer receives a credit at Closing pursuant to this Agreement or the Closing Documents; (C) any lien for property taxes, water and sewer charges, special
Page 12
assessments, and other charges and expenses that are to be prorated under this Agreement; and (D) any encumbrance or other matter that the Title Company agrees to provide affirmative insurance over (subject to Buyer’s reasonable approval).
4.2.3.3 “Seller Lien” means: (A) any lien securing any mortgage financing entered into by Seller that encumbers all or any portion of the Land and Improvements (an “Existing Loan”); (B) any mechanics’ lien or materialmens’ lien arising from any work or materials ordered by or on behalf of Seller that encumbers the Property (“Seller Mechanics’ Liens”); and (C) any monetary judgment, tax lien or other monetary lien against Seller which also constitutes a lien against the Property (each, a “Third Party Lien”).
4.3Mandatory Title Cure Obligations. At or prior to Closing, Seller shall (A) take such actions as may be reasonably required by Title Company so that Title Company is willing to issue title insurance to Buyer without exception for (or to provide Buyer affirmative insurance over, if reasonably acceptable to Buyer) any Seller Liens and any Additional Liens (except that Seller shall not be required to pay or escrow more than the Mandatory Title Cure Cap in the aggregate to comply with its obligations under this Section 4.3 on account of Additional Liens), and (B) provide each Title Cure, if any, Seller has agreed to provide in writing (and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Committed Title Cure). Such actions must include obtaining loan payoff letters (if applicable) for, and leaving a portion of the Purchase Price in escrow sufficient to satisfy, the Seller Liens (if any), and subject to the Mandatory Title Cure Cap, the Additional Liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that any Additional Lien or Third Party Lien arises or exists, Seller shall have the right and option to bond off such Additional Lien and/or Third-Party Lien and contest the same in lieu of paying off such liens, and Closing shall not be extended or postponed as a result, provided the Title Company agrees to insure title without exception for such Additional Lien and/or Third Party Lien.
4.4Owner’s Policy; Permitted Encumbrances; Failure of Closing Due to Absence of Fee Title. “Owner’s Policy” means an owner’s title insurance policy issued by Title Company to Buyer, effective as of (or providing coverage for the period from the time and date of the policy to) the time and date the Deed is recorded, in the standard form issued in the Subject State, in the face amount of the Purchase Price, which policy must show (A) title to the Land and Improvements to be vested of record in Buyer, and (B) the Permitted Encumbrances to be the only exceptions to title. However, if there is a “Committed Owner’s Policy” (as defined below), then the Owner’s Policy will be in the form of the Committed Owner’s Policy. Subject to Section 4.3 (Mandatory Title Cure Obligations), Buyer may not object to title to the Property being subject to the following exceptions to title (“Permitted Encumbrances”):
(1) real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

5.1Access. Subject to Section 5.2 (Due Diligence Requirements) and Section 5.3 (Continuing Due Diligence Obligations), until the earlier to occur of termination of this Agreement or the Closing, Seller shall upon reasonable advance notice to be given no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the requested access: (x) provide Buyer with reasonable access to the Property (subject to the rights of any tenants under the Leases) (and no later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date if requested on or before the Effective Date), and (y) make available (electronically and no later than two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date), for review and copying (at Buyer’s expense), all material documents relating to the Property that Buyer may reasonably request and that, to Seller’s knowledge, are in the possession or reasonable control of Seller or Seller’s property manager, including but not limited to: all investigations, soil reports, zoning reports, environmental studies, audits, any land use and zoning analyses, surveys, tests, examinations, studies, leases, tenant correspondence files, service contracts, most recent municipal lien searches, licenses, Seller’s title policy and most recent survey. In no event, however, will Seller be obligated to make available (or cause to be made available) any “Excluded DD Materials” (i.e., (A) emails (except to the extent the same modify or amend the Leases, Service Contracts or Permitted Encumbrances) and (B) any proprietary or confidential documents, including: (1) documents that are subject to attorney-client privilege or that are attorney work product; (2) documents that Seller is legally required not to disclose other than by reason of contractual requirements voluntarily assumed by Seller on or after the Effective Date without Buyer’s approval; (3) appraisals, broker opinions of value and other valuations; (4) organizational, financial and other internal documents relating to Seller or its Affiliates (other than any evidence of due authorization and organization required under this Agreement) including (a) any materials relating to the background or financial condition of a present or prior direct or indirect owner of Seller, (b) the internal books and records of Seller relating, for example, to contributions and distributions, and (c) financial analyses or projections (e.g., Seller’s budgets, cost-basis information and capital account information); (5) engineering or property condition reports older than three years (other than environmental reports); (6) preliminary or draft assessments, reports or studies, or assessments, reports or studies that have been superseded by final assessments, reports or studies; (7) letters of intent, purchase agreements, loan documents or other documents evidencing or relating to Seller’s acquisition of the Property or any prior financing or attempted sale of the Property or any portion thereof; and (8) the Excluded Service Contracts). Any right of Buyer to access or inspect the Property or to conduct further reviews and analyses after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, as set
Page 14
forth herein, will not give rise to any due diligence approval or due diligence termination right in favor of Buyer under this Agreement.
5.2Due Diligence Requirements. Until the sooner to occur of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement:
5.2.1Investigative Standards. Buyer shall conduct (and shall cause to be conducted) all Due Diligence Investigations in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with or disturb any tenant or Seller’s operation of the Property.
5.2.2Repairs. Buyer shall promptly report to Seller (when known to Buyer), and repair, any damage caused by the Due Diligence Investigations in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with applicable Law, and free from defects and liens.
5.2.3Insurance. Prior to entry upon the Property by any Buyer Related Party, Buyer shall cause each DD Contractor to obtain and provide Seller with copies of certificates of insurance (and additional insured endorsements where applicable) evidencing, the commercial general liability and other insurance specified in Schedule 5.2.3, in each case complying with the requirements set forth in Schedule 5.2.3 or as otherwise approved by Seller. Buyer’s obligations under this Section 5.2.3 will not limit its obligations elsewhere in this Agreement (including Buyer’s indemnification obligations under Section 5.3.1 (Indemnity)).
5.2.4Consents. Without limiting the foregoing, without Seller’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, Buyer may not (and shall ensure that no Buyer Related Party will): (A) conduct any physical testing (environmental, structural or otherwise) at the Property (such as soil borings or water samplings) or take physical samples from the Property (except for radon testing that does not involve penetration or sampling of soil, landscaping or anything affixed to the Improvements or Land); (B) knowingly contact any consultant or other professional engaged by Seller (in connection with services related to the Property) other than the Existing Surveyor; (C) contact any tenant of the Property (or its representatives) in connection with its tenancy at the Property (or any counterparty to a Permitted Encumbrance); (D) contact any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Property (in connection with the Property) other than (i) ordinary contact normally associated with routine due diligence examinations that does not (except to the extent necessary to request records) involve any discussions with governmental officials and is limited to a review of government records and (ii) communications permitted in accordance with Section 9.4 of this Agreement; or (E) contact any direct or indirect owner or manager in Seller (other than representatives of Seller who have contacted Buyer in connection with this Agreement) or any lender or servicer with respect to any existing financing of Seller.

5.3Continuing Due Diligence Obligations.
5.3.1Indemnity. Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each Seller Related Party from and against any and all Claims incurred by it (or the Property) caused by the Due Diligence Investigations, whether before, on or after the Effective Date, except to the extent caused by (A) the mere discovery of existing conditions or any required reporting of such conditions and then only to the extent they are not exacerbated by any Buyer Related Party, or (B) subject to the immediately following sentence, the negligence or willful misconduct of a Seller Related Party. The foregoing indemnity will cover Claims caused by the negligence (including active or sole negligence, but not willful misconduct) of one or more Seller Related Parties but only to the extent such Claims are covered by Buyer’s insurance or would be covered by the insurance Buyer is required to maintain under Section 5.2.3 (Insurance), with the understanding that a Claim will not be covered by insurance to the extent of the lesser of (1) any permitted deductible or self-insured retention, or (2) any actual deductible or self-insured retention; if the insurance company pays the deductible for a Claim caused by Seller’s negligence and then seeks reimbursement from Buyer, then Seller shall promptly reimburse Buyer for the amount of the deductible. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Buyer shall have no liability or responsibility for (a) any pre-existing conditions affecting the Property, except to the extent that the same are exacerbated by the actions of Buyer, or (b) injury or damage to persons or property caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller.
5.3.2Disposal of Waste and Other Materials. Without limitation on Buyer’s obligations under Section 5.2 (Due Diligence Requirements) (including the obligation to obtain Seller’s consent for physical testing or sampling), which will continue after termination of this Agreement to apply to Buyer’s activities under this Section 5.3.2 (Disposal of Waste and Other Materials), Buyer shall promptly dispose of (or cause to be disposed of) at its sole cost in accordance with all applicable Laws any waste, samples, trash, debris or other physical materials generated at (or near) or removed from the Property by Buyer Related Parties in connection with the Due Diligence Investigations.
5.3.3Liens. Buyer may not (and shall ensure that no Buyer Related Party will) cause, suffer, allow or permit to be recorded or enforced against all or any portion of the Property (at any time prior to Closing) any mechanics’, materialmen’s, contractors’ or subcontractors’ liens filed by or on behalf of any Buyer Related Party. If any such liens are recorded against all or any portion of the Property, Buyer shall (at its sole cost and expense) cause such liens to be removed from title within five (5) Business Days after Buyer acquires knowledge of the same (and in any event prior to the foreclosure thereof).
Page 16
5.3.4Documents Upon Termination. If this Agreement terminates (other than by reason of Seller’s default), then: (A) Buyer shall promptly return or destroy all documents and other materials furnished by Seller hereunder and all copies thereof; and (B) to the extent requested in writing by Seller, Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller complete copies of the final (or if not finalized, most recent) versions of any written reports relating to the Property prepared for or on behalf of Buyer by any third party, as well as all meeting notes, reports, approvals, and other documentation obtained by Buyer during the Development Approval Period but Buyer will be permitted to redact any personal, privileged, confidential, or proprietary information, such as projections. Seller agrees to reimburse Buyer for its out of pocket costs for all third party reports requested in writing by and delivered to Seller.
5.4Due Diligence Termination Right. At any time before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may, for any reason or no reason, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, either (A) give written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent electing to terminate this Agreement (a “DDP Termination Notice”) or (B) give written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent electing to waive its right to terminate under this Section 5.4 (a “DDP Continuation Notice”). If prior to such time, Buyer does not give Seller either such notice, then Buyer will be deemed to have given a DDP Continuation Notice immediately prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, upon the delivery of a DDP Termination Notice before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, this Agreement will terminate and the Deposit will be promptly returned to Buyer. If Buyer delivers or is deemed to deliver a DDP Continuation Notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Buyer will have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.4.
6.Development Approvals. Within sixty (60) days after the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Buyer shall, at its sole cost and expense, apply for and diligently pursue, using good faith and commercially reasonable efforts, the Development Approvals, and shall have until the Development Approvals Expiration Date to obtain such Development Approvals. Buyer’s pursuit of the Development Approvals shall be at its sole cost and expense and at no expense to Seller whatsoever. In the event that Seller determines, in its sole but reasonable discretion, that Buyer has failed to timely apply for or is not diligently pursuing, using good faith and commercially reasonable efforts, the Development Approvals, Seller may deliver written notice to Buyer of such breach that includes curative actions that Buyer is required to take (“Diligence Cure Notice”), and Buyer shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of the Diligence Cure Notice to cure such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of Seller. In the event that, in the reasonable discretion of Seller, Buyer has failed to cure such breach within the foregoing 30-day cure period, Seller may elect to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Buyer and Escrow Agent, in which case, this Agreement will immediately terminate and the Deposit will be promptly delivered to and retained by Seller as full compensation and liquidated damages as set forth in Section 11.2 (Breach by Buyer). For the avoidance of doubt, the 30-day cure period set forth in this Section 6 shall constitute the same, and shall not be in addition to, the 30-day cure period provided for in Section 11.2.
Page 17
If, prior to the Development Approvals Expiration Date, Buyer receives (i) written correspondence from the applicable Authorities denying the Development Approvals (as defined below) or (ii) written correspondence from Tracy Slavens, Esq. of LSN Law, P.A. (“LSN”) or any successor partner from LSN concluding that Buyer is unlikely to obtain the Development Approvals prior to the Development Approvals Expiration Date and setting forth in sufficient detail the reasons supporting such conclusion (such written correspondence in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Denial Correspondence”), then Buyer shall promptly provide Seller with a copy of such Denial Correspondence from the Authorities or LSN (as applicable), and may either (A) give written notice to Seller electing to terminate this Agreement (a “DAP Termination Notice”) or (B) give written notice to Seller electing to waive its right to terminate under this Section 6 (a “DAP Continuation Notice”). If by the Development Approvals Expiration Date, Buyer does not give Seller either a DAP Termination Notice or DAP Continuation Notice, then Buyer will be deemed to have given a DAP Continuation Notice immediately prior to the expiration of the Development Approvals Period. Upon the delivery of a DAP Termination Notice, this Agreement will terminate and the Deposit will be promptly returned to Buyer. If Buyer delivers or is deemed to deliver a DAP Continuation Notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Development Approvals Period, then Buyer will have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.
Buyer shall keep Seller reasonably informed of the status of the Development Approvals throughout the Development Approvals Period by promptly responding to periodic inquiries from Seller and providing Seller with quarterly status reports in writing setting forth in sufficient detail the Buyer’s progress in pursuing the Development Approvals.
“Development Approvals” means the following non-appealable approvals from the Subject County, the Subject State, and/or any other applicable local, state, federal or other governmental authorities (each individually, an “Authority”, and collectively, the “Authorities”):
(A)Approval of a land use classification of the Property allowing for either (i) an industrial use project or (ii) a mixed industrial and multi-family use project (the “Proposed Use”);
(B)Approval of a rezoning of the Property allowing for the Proposed Use;
(C)Approval of a site plan containing the same use and density as shown in either one of the site plan layouts attached hereto as Exhibits I-1 (“Site Plan 1”) and I-2 (“Site Plan 2”). Buyer shall submit a site plan to the Subject County for approval that contains the same use and density in either Site Plan 1 or Site Plan 2 (the “Submitted Site Plan”), and the Submitted Site Plan shall not be materially modified except as (and only to the extent) required by the Subject County; provided however, that any non-material modification shall be ministerial in nature only and shall not modify the use and density of the Submitted Site Plan. The Submitted Site Plan that is ultimately approved by the Subject County (the “Approved Site Plan”) shall be deemed as being satisfactory for purposes of this Agreement provided that the Approved Site Plan does not result in the density being reduced by more than five percent
Page 18
(5%) relative to the density in the Submitted Site Plan (the “Density Threshold”). In the event the Approved Site Plan reduces the density of the Submitted Site Plan by more than five percent (5%) (i.e., more than the Density Threshold), then Buyer and Seller will work in good faith to mutually agree to a fair Purchase Price adjustment, with Buyer having the right to terminate this Agreement if such Purchase Price adjustment cannot be mutually agreed to. If Buyer waives its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence, then Buyer shall proceed to Closing without any reduction in the Purchase Price;
(D)Approval of a tentative plat of the Property;
(E)Approval of a Community Development District for the Property by the Subject County;
(F) Approval of environmental and/or wetland permits from one or more of the following Authorities: (i) Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental Resource Management; (ii) Florida Department of Environmental Protection; (iii) United States Army Corps of Engineers; and/or (iv) South Florida Water Management District.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the applicable Authorities require, as a condition to the Development Approvals, that Buyer construct onsite or offsite improvements not included in the Submitted Site Plan (“Offsite Improvement Condition”), Buyer shall not be required to accept such Offsite Improvement Condition if and only if the offsite improvements would cost more than $500,000.00 to construct. In the event the applicable Authorities impose an Offsite Improvement Condition that would cost more than $500,000.00 to construct, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller and provide Seller with written evidence thereof, and Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, whether to join in with Buyer to fulfill such Offsite Improvement Condition by contributing any funds in excess of the $500,000.00 that Buyer would be obligated to spend. Such contribution by Seller may be in the form of a credit against the Purchase Price. In the event that Seller elects to join in and make such contribution, Buyer shall have no right to deliver a DAP Termination Notice as a result of such Offsite Improvement Condition.
Seller (at no cost to Seller) agrees to cooperate with and to join in any and all applications and consents that may be required to be filed by Buyer in connection with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances will Seller be obligated to incur any expense hereunder. Seller shall, promptly upon written request from Buyer, execute all agreements, agency forms or other documents that may be necessary for such Development Approvals. For purposes of this Agreement, Seller further agrees to execute and join in on any applications or other documents requiring Seller’s joinder to the extent required for the Development Approvals within five (5) Business Days from written request for same by Buyer, time being of the essence. For each day beyond the five (5) Business Day period in the preceding sentence that Seller delays in joining in on any applications or other documents requiring Seller’s joinder to the extent required for the Development Approvals, an additional day will be added to the Development Approvals Period.

7.4Prorations and Other Closing Adjustments. The following prorations and other Closing adjustments will be made between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date. Except as otherwise provided, such prorations will be made on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over the applicable period, with Buyer being deemed to be the owner of the Property during the entire day on the Closing Date and being entitled to receive all operating income of the Property, and being obligated to pay all operating expenses of the Property, with respect to the Closing Date. The net amount of such prorations and adjustments under this Section 7.4 will be added to (if such net amount is in Seller’s favor) or deducted from (if such net amount is in Buyer’s favor) the Purchase Price payable at Closing.
7.4.1Property Taxes. All real estate and personal property taxes and assessments with respect to the Property for the “Current Tax Year” (i.e., the tax year in which the Closing occurs) regardless of whether payable before, during or after the Current Tax Year. Seller will be responsible for the payment of any real estate and personal property taxes and assessments with respect to the Property for any period ending prior to the Closing (including any tax year ending prior to the Current Tax Year) and Buyer will be responsible for any period commencing on or after the Closing Date. In no event will Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the taxes on the Property resulting from the Contemplated Sale, any change in use of the Property on or after the Closing Date, or from any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date. If any assessments on the Property are payable in installments, then the installment payable during the current period (in which the Closing occurs) will be prorated (with Buyer assuming the obligation to pay any subsequent installments).

Any other items of operating income or operating expense that are customarily apportioned between the parties in real estate closings of comparable commercial properties in the metropolitan area where the Property is located, as applicable; however, there will be no prorations for debt service or insurance premiums (because Buyer is not acquiring or assuming Seller’s financing or insurance), subject to Section 8.
7.4.4General Provisions.
7.4.4.1The prorations and payments to be made on the Closing Date will be set forth in the Closing Statement. Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Escrow Agent to deliver to Buyer and Seller an initial proposed draft of the Closing Statement for Buyer’s and Seller’s review and approval prior to the Closing Date.
7.4.4.2If any prorations made under this Section 7.4 prove to be incorrect for any reason, then any Party will be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same. Any item that cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information will be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available and re-prorated when the information is available.
7.4.4.3Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.4, all re-prorations and other post-Closing payments, prorations and adjustments contemplated by this Section 7.4 must be completed no later than (and the corresponding obligations under this Section 7.4 will continue until) the date that is one (1) year after the Closing Date (subject to extension solely as necessary due to the unavailability of final information, but in no event to exceed 18 months after the Closing Date).
7.4.4.4As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs and at such other times as a Party may reasonably request, the other Party shall deliver such documentation in the possession or reasonable control of such other Party as may be reasonably requested to substantiate the prorations under this Section 7.4, including any year-end reconciliations.
8.Condemnation of Property. If, after the Effective Date but prior to the Closing, Seller acquires knowledge that any portion of the Property is (or is threatened in writing to be) taken pursuant to eminent domain proceedings, then Seller shall give Buyer prompt notice of the same (a “Condemnation Notice”) prior to Closing, but will have no obligation to replace (or cause to be replaced) any such taken property.
8.1 Closing Credit. Provided this Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to Section 8.2 below, Seller shall, at Closing, provide Buyer with a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of “C/C Proceeds” (i.e., all condemnation proceeds on account of such condemnation) actually received by Seller prior to Closing except to the extent of any “Pre-Closing C/C Proceeds” (i.e., C/C Proceeds attributable to lost rents or other items applicable to any period prior to the Closing). If as of the Closing, Seller has not received all C/C Proceeds
Page 23
that may be payable to Seller on account of such condemnation, then Seller shall, upon the Closing, if any requisite consents to assignment are obtained, assign to Buyer (under the Bill of Sale, Assignment and Assumption) any right, title, and interest of Seller to such C/C Proceeds, as applicable (except to the extent of any Pre-Closing C/C Proceeds), without any credit or reduction in the Purchase Price except as set forth in the immediately following sentence; and if any requisite consent to such assignment is not obtained, then Seller shall turn over such C/C Proceeds as and when received in accordance with clause (B) of Section 8.3 (Cooperation).
8.2 Material Condemnation. Buyer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, given on or before ten (10) Business Days after Buyer’s receipt of the Condemnation Notice (but prior to the Closing) (the “C/C Election Period”), if (A) the condemnation award to the Property exceeds the Condemnation Monetary Materiality Threshold, or (B) the condemnation to the Property (1) materially and adversely affects access to or parking at the Property, (2) results in the Property violating any Laws or failing to comply, in any material respect, with zoning or any recorded covenants, conditions or restrictions affecting the Property, or (3) prevents Buyer from developing the Property pursuant to Site Plan 1 or Site Plan 2, or, if the Buyer has submitted a site plan application, the Submitted Site Plan. In the event of such termination, the Deposit will be promptly returned to Buyer. If Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2, but fails to do so prior to the expiration of the notice period set forth above, then Buyer will be deemed to have forfeited such termination right and Section 8.1 (Closing Credit) will apply.
8.3 Casualty. In the event that, during the Escrow Period, any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed as a result of a casualty and the cost of repair or restoration of such casualty exceeds the Casualty Monetary Materiality Threshold (a “Material Casualty”), and, after Closing, such Material Casualty results in the imposition of any fines as a result of code violations against the Property due to such Material Casualty, then Seller agrees to indemnify Seller for the cost of any fines resulting from such code violations; provided however, that Seller may seek a reduction or mitigation of any such fines prior to Closing or after Closing, and Buyer shall cooperate with Seller with respect to such reduction or mitigation.
8.4 Cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate with one another in connection with any condemnation of all or a portion of the Property. Without limitation on the foregoing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (A) promptly after acquiring knowledge of such condemnation and to the extent reasonably practicable, prior to Closing, (1) cause the C/C Proceeds (other than Pre-Closing CC Proceeds) payable to Seller, but not received prior to Closing, to be assigned to Buyer as of the Closing, and, without limitation on the foregoing, obtain any required consent to such assignment, and (2) in the case of a condemnation, cause Buyer, at or promptly after the Closing, to be substituted for Seller in any condemnation proceeding to the extent involving the Property.

To Seller’s Knowledge, Seller has not received any written notice from any Governmental Authority (a) with respect to the violation of any Legal Requirement regulating the use of the Property that has not been cured by Seller, or (b) with respect to the presence of Hazardous Materials at or on the Property or of the obligation
Page 25
under the applicable Legal Requirements to remedy any “recognized environmental condition” at the Property.
9.1.9Non-Foreign Person. Seller is not a “foreign person” as that term is defined in Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.
9.1.10Tax Appeals. There are no ongoing proceedings for the reduction of the assessed valuation of the Property for any tax year.
9.2Representations and Warranties of Buyer. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller as follows:
9.2.1Organization, Authority and Enforceability. This Agreement and all agreements, instruments and documents herein provided to be executed or to be caused to be executed by Buyer are, and on the Closing Date will be, duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and are binding upon, Buyer. Buyer is a Florida limited liability company, duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of such state, and is duly authorized and qualified to do all things required of it under this Agreement. Buyer has the capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Contemplated Transactions herein provided without the consent or joinder of any other Party (except as otherwise may be set forth in this Agreement). This Agreement is, and each other document to be executed and delivered by Buyer hereunder will be, the valid and binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms.
9.2.2No Conflict. To Buyer’s knowledge, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any agreement, document or instrument executed or to be executed in connection with the same, nor anything provided in or contemplated by this Agreement or any such other agreement, document or instrument, does now or will hereafter breach, violate, invalidate, cancel, make inoperative or interfere with, or result in the acceleration or maturity of, any agreement, document, instrument, right or interest, or applicable Laws affecting or relating to Buyer.
9.2.3No Bankruptcy or Dissolution. No Bankruptcy/Dissolution Event has occurred by, against or with respect to Buyer.
9.2.4Foreign Principal. Buyer is not a “Foreign Principal” as defined in Florida Statutes Section 692.201, and as such is in compliance with the requirements set forth in Sections 692.202 – 692.205, Florida Statutes (the “Foreign Ownership Act”). Buyer is not prohibited from acquiring the Property by the provisions of the Foreign Ownership Act.
9.3Interim Covenants of Seller. During the Escrow Period:
9.3.1Insurance. During the Escrow Period, Seller shall maintain its current insurance relating to the Property on substantially similar terms (except to the extent they are no longer available at commercially reasonable rates).
Page 26
9.3.2Termination of Objectionable Service Contracts. Buyer has a right to object to any Service Contracts by delivering to Seller a notice of objection to any such Service Contract (an “Objectionable Service Contract”) no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date; provided however, Buyer may not object to any Emergency Contract or any contract that has been approved or deemed approved by Buyer under this Section 9.3.2. Seller shall notify Buyer within five (5) days of receipt of such written notice whether Seller intends to terminate such Objectionable Service Contract to the extent such contract is terminable as of or before the Closing. If Seller gives Buyer written notice that it will terminate an Objectionable Service Contract, then Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Objectionable Service Contract to be terminated effective as of or before the Closing to the extent such contract is terminable as of or before the Closing. If such termination occurs, then such Service Contract will be deemed to be an Excluded Service Contract as of the Closing Date. However, if despite such commercially reasonable efforts, the termination of any Objectionable Service Contract is not made effective as of or before the Closing, or if Seller gives Buyer written notice that it will not terminate an Objectionable Service Contract, then Seller shall have the option to require Buyer to close on the Contemplated Transactions and assume such Objectionable Service Contract at Closing, together with all Service Contracts, pursuant to the Bill of Sale, Assignment and Assumption; provided however, that in such event, Seller shall give the Buyer a credit at Closing equal to the balance of the amount that would be due under such Objectionable Service Contract through such contract’s expiration date; and further provided, that in such event, if Seller does not elect to give Buyer such credit, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive the return of its Deposit, in which event this Agreement shall become null and void and be of no further force or effect (other than any obligations intended to survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement). If Buyer fails to notify Seller in writing of Buyer’s objection to any Service Contract within the time period set forth in this Section 9.3.2, then Buyer will be deemed to have waived the right to object under this Section 9.3.2 and (subject to any approval rights in this Agreement with respect to Service Contracts entered into after the Effective Date) shall assume the same at the Closing pursuant to the Bill of Sale, Assignment and Assumption.
9.3.2.1Non-Assignable Service Contract. If a Service Contract (whether by reason of the terms of such Service Contract or applicable Law) may not be assigned to and assumed by Buyer, such Service Contract will be deemed to constitute a “Non-Assignable Service Contract” and will thereupon become an Excluded Service Contract.
9.3.3Leases. There are no Leases affecting the Property and, after the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Seller may not enter into any Leases.
9.3.4Encumbrances. After the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Seller may not encumber the Property with any mortgages, deeds of trust or other encumbrances or any agreements which would survive Closing, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, without Buyer’s written consent. Seller will not be in violation of this Section 9.3.4 by reason of Seller Mechanics’ Liens that are addressed as required under Section 4.3 (Mandatory Title Cure Obligations).
Page 27
9.3.5Real Estate Tax Appeal. Seller may initiate, settle, compromise, withdraw or terminate any real estate tax appeal or proceeding affecting the Property.
9.4Interim Covenants of Buyer.
9.4.1Prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Buyer shall submit and present a preliminary land use classification and rezoning application (or applications), together with one of either Site Plan 1 or Site Plan 2, in a pre-application meeting with the Subject County and shall request formal input from the Subject County regarding which of Site Plan 1 or Site Plan 2 would be approved more expeditiously by the Subject County; provided however, Buyer shall not be obligated by the recommendation of the Subject County and shall have the right to make changes to either of Site Plan 1 or Site Plan 2, in Buyer’s reasonable discretion, provided that such changes (i) are made prior to the date of the Site Plan Submission (as defined below) and (ii) do not change the use and density in Site Plan 1 or Site Plan 2.
9.4.2Within sixty (60) days after the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Buyer shall, at its sole cost and expense, and at no expense to Seller whatsoever, apply for and diligently pursue, using good faith and commercially reasonable efforts, the Development Approvals, which shall include submission of an application or applications with the Subject County for land use classification and rezoning of the Property (collectively, the “Land Use and Rezoning Application”), and simultaneously with the submission of and as part of the Land Use and Rezoning Application, submission of a site plan that contains the same use and density in either Site Plan 1 or Site Plan 2 (the “Site Plan Submission”).
9.5Post-Occupancy. In the event that Closing occurs on or prior to [July 15, 2025], Buyer agrees that Seller, in Seller’s sole discretion, may remain in possession of the Property after Closing month-to-month until a date on or before [________, 2025] at terms reasonably agreeable to both parties (the “Post-Occupancy”). The Post-Occupancy shall be at no expense to Seller other than the payment of monthly base rent mutually agreeable to Seller and Buyer for each month of occupancy and the payment of the operating expenses attributable of the portion of the Property occupied by Seller during such period.
9.6State Required Notices and Other Disclosures. RADON GAS: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county health department.
10.Disclaimer and Release. As an essential inducement to Seller to enter into this Agreement, and as part of the determination of the Purchase Price, but subject to Section 10.4 (Limitations) below:
Page 28
10.1Disclaimer.
10.1.1As-Is, Where-Is. The sale of the Property hereunder is and will be made on an “as is, where is” basis. Other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement and in any closing documents, Seller has not made, does not make and specifically negates and disclaims (and Buyer is relying solely upon the Due Diligence Investigations and is not relying upon) any representations, warranties, assurances, statements or guaranties of any kind or character whatsoever, whether express or implied or arising by operation of law, verbal or written, past, present or future of, as to, concerning or with respect to Seller, the Property or any other matter whatsoever in connection with this Agreement.
10.1.2Sophistication of Buyer. Buyer is a sophisticated buyer who is familiar with the ownership and operation of real estate projects similar to the Property and Buyer has had adequate opportunity or will have adequate opportunity prior to Closing (Buyer’s delivery of the DDP Continuation Notice will constitute an acknowledgment by Buyer that it has had such an opportunity) to complete all physical and financial examinations relating to the acquisition of the Property hereunder it deems necessary, and will acquire the same solely on the basis of and in reliance upon such examinations and the title insurance protection afforded by the Owner’s Policy and not on any information provided or to be provided by Seller.
10.1.3Due Diligence Materials. Any third-party information provided or to be provided with respect to the Property (including the Due Diligence Materials) is solely for Buyer’s convenience and was or will be obtained from a variety of sources. Seller has not made any independent investigation or verification of such information and makes no (and expressly disclaims all) representations as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. Seller will not be liable for any mistakes, omissions, misrepresentation, or failure to investigate the Property, nor will Seller be bound in any manner by any verbal or written statements, representations, appraisals, environmental assessment reports, or other information pertaining to the Property or the operation thereof, furnished by any Seller Related Party.
10.2Release. Effective as of the Closing, Buyer, on behalf of itself and all persons or entities claiming by, through or under Buyer, and their respective successors and assigns (a “Buyer Releasing Party”), waives its right to recover from, and forever releases and discharges each Seller Related Party from any and all Claims that any Buyer Releasing Party has or may have as of the Closing arising from or related to any matter or thing related to or in connection with the Property including the Due Diligence Materials, any operational issues, any construction defects, violations of Law, errors or omissions in design or construction, and any environmental or physical conditions, including the presence of any Hazardous Materials, and no Buyer Releasing Party will look to any Seller Related Parties in connection with the foregoing for any redress or relief. This release will be given full force and effect according to each of its expressed terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected claims, damages and causes of action.
10.3Certain Property Disclosures. With respect to all of the matters in this Section 10, including any matters identified in any other provisions of this Agreement, Buyer
Page 29
shall further evaluate such matters prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. At Closing, Buyer shall assume all responsibility for such matters and may not seek any payment or other action from Seller (and Seller will have no obligation) with respect to such matters; any disclosure of such matters by others will not be a cause for objection by Buyer; such matters have already been taken into account in calculation of the Purchase Price; and such matters will not be deemed to expand in any manner the limited representations and warranties of Seller contained herein.
10.4Limitations. However, the provisions of this Section 10 will not release or otherwise limit Buyer’s rights or Seller’s liability under this Agreement and the Closing Documents for the breach of the obligations (including any representation or warranty) of Seller under this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents executed by Seller (but subject to the limitations provided in Sections 15.1 (Limitation of Liability), 15.3 (Survival), and 15.4 (Knowledge) of this Agreement).
10.5Continued Effectiveness. This Section 10 will continue to have effect after any termination of this Agreement and the Closing.
11.Breach; Disposition of Deposit upon Termination.
11.1Breach by Seller. If the Closing does not occur by reason of Seller’s material breach of any of its representations and warranties, Seller’s breach of its covenants or other obligations set forth in Section 4.3 (Mandatory Title Cure Obligations), 6 (Development Approvals), 9.3.3 (Leases), or 9.3.4 (Encumbrances), or Seller’s failure to otherwise consummate the Contemplated Transactions under this Agreement, and Seller fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such breach, then Buyer may either (A) terminate this Agreement, in which case Buyer will be entitled to obtain a return of the Deposit, and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer’s reasonable and actual documented out-of-pocket third-party expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the Buyer’s negotiation of this Agreement, the Buyer’s due diligence of the Property, the Buyer’s pursuit of the Development Approvals, the Buyer’s acquisition financing, and Closing – provided, however, that the maximum amount reimbursable by Seller shall not exceed $1,200,000.00 – but no other action, for damages or otherwise, will be permitted, or (B) specifically enforce this Agreement, provided that failure to demand specific performance within 120 days after the Closing Date will be deemed an irrevocable election to terminate this Agreement under clause (A) above, in which event this Agreement will automatically terminate and clause (A) above will apply. Buyer shall choose one but not both of the foregoing alternative remedies, which will be Buyer’s sole remedy, for any breach by Seller prior to Closing.
11.2Breach by Buyer. If the Closing does not occur by reason of Buyer’s material breach of any of its representations and warranties, Buyer’s breach of its covenants or other obligations set forth in Section 6 (Development Approvals) or 9.4.2 (Interim Covenants of Buyer), or Buyer’s failure to otherwise consummate the Contemplated Transactions under this Agreement, and Buyer fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such breach, then Seller may terminate this Agreement; provided however, that there
Page 30
shall be no cure period for Buyer’s failure to deliver the Purchase Price on the Closing Date, and further provided that, the foregoing 30-day cure period (to the extent applicable) shall not trump any shorter cure periods provided for in this Agreement. In such event, the Deposit will be delivered to and retained by Seller as full compensation and liquidated damages under this Agreement for such breach. The Parties recognize that (A) Seller will incur expenses in connection with the Contemplated Transactions and that the Property may be removed from the market, (B) it is extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain the extent of detriment to Seller caused by such breach and the failure of the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, and (C) the Deposit represents the Parties’ best current estimate of such detriment. The retention of the Deposit will be Seller’s sole remedy under this Agreement by reason of such breach; provided, however, that Buyer shall remain liable for any indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement, and further provided that nothing contained in this Section 11.2 will impair or otherwise limit any of Seller’s rights to seek damages or indemnification from Buyer for any other breach by Buyer under this Agreement.
11.3Intentionally Omitted.
11.4Extension of Closing. The Closing Date will be extended as necessary to afford Seller or Buyer the entire cure period set forth in Section 11.1 (Breach by Seller) and Section 11.2 (Breach by Buyer).
12.Brokers.
12.1Generally. Except as provided in Section 12.2 (Known Brokers), Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, and Buyer represents and warrants to Seller, that no broker or finder has been engaged by it, respectively, in connection with the Contemplated Sale. In the event of a claim for broker’s or finder’s fee or commissions in connection with the Contemplated Sale, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Buyer Related Party from the same if it is based upon any statement or agreement alleged to have been made by or on behalf of Seller, and Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seller Related Party from the same if it is based upon any statement or agreement alleged to have been made by or on behalf of Buyer.
12.2Known Brokers. If and only if the Contemplated Sale closes, Seller has agreed to pay a brokerage commission to Seller’s Broker, pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Seller’s Broker. Seller shall make the payment required to be made to Seller’s Broker.
12.3Leasing Brokers. This Section 12 does not apply to leasing commissions, which shall be the sole obligation of Seller (to the extent applicable).
13.Confidentiality; Press Releases.
13.1Confidentiality. Seller and Buyer shall keep the terms of the Contemplated Transactions, including the Purchase Price and all other economic terms, confidential and may
Page 31
not disclose them without the consent of the other except (A) to the Permitted Recipients of such Party, but only to the extent such Party deems it necessary or appropriate in connection with the Contemplated Transactions (and such Party shall inform each of the foregoing Permitted Recipients of such Party’s obligations under this Section and shall instruct such Permitted Recipients to comply with the terms hereof, (B) to the extent required in connection with the delivery and recording of the Deed, (C) disclosures made by a Party or its Affiliates to comply with the requirements of their auditors or regulators, (D) as otherwise required by Laws (or as required under the rules and regulations of a securities exchange), but only if (to the extent reasonably practicable) such Party gives the other Party reasonable notice and a reasonable opportunity to obtain a restraining order, qualify the disclosure, or take other similar protective actions, (E) to the extent required in connection with Buyer’s pursuit of the Development Approvals, or (F) as otherwise required to enforce this Agreement. Unless and until the Closing occurs, Buyer shall also keep confidential all documents, reports and other information concerning the Property obtained from Seller or through the Due Diligence Investigations, except to the extent permitted by clause (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) or (F) above (which will also apply to this sentence as though set forth in full in this sentence), and except for disclosures of information available to Buyer from any other source (except to the extent known by Buyer to have been received as a result of a breach by such source or any other person of a confidentiality restriction in favor of Seller or its predecessors or any other Seller Related Party); and Buyer acknowledges that Seller may be irreparably injured by a breach of this restriction and that damages would be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, either Party may seek all remedies available at law or in equity in connection with a breach of this Section 13.1, but shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement. Buyer hereby acknowledges that it has received reasonable notice from Seller of Seller’s intention to make regulatory disclosures with respect to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Form 8-K, Form 10-Q, and Form 10-K filings.
13.2Press Releases. No press release or media release and (except as otherwise expressly permitted under Section 13.1 (Confidentiality)) no other public disclosure regarding the terms of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions may be made without the prior consent of Seller and Buyer.
14.Anti-Terrorism Laws. Each Party shall take any actions that may be required to comply with the terms of all Anti-Bribery, Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Laws. In addition to the foregoing, each Party makes the following representations and warranties for the benefit of the other Party:
14.1Neither such Party nor, to such Party’s knowledge, its Affiliates, and the respective Constituent Persons of such Party and its Affiliates (excluding public shareholders), is in violation of, has been charged with or is under indictment for the violation of, or has pled guilty to or been found guilty of the violation of, any Anti-Bribery, Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Laws.
14.2None of such Party or, to such Party’s knowledge, its Affiliates and the respective Constituent Persons of such Party and its Affiliates (excluding public shareholders), is acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of terrorists, terrorist organizations or narcotics
Page 32
traffickers, including those Persons that appear on the Annex to the Executive Order, or are included on any Government List maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of U.S. Department of Treasury, U.S. Department of State, or other U.S. government agencies, all as may be amended from time to time.
14.3Neither such Party, nor any Person controlling or controlled by such Party, is a country, territory, individual or entity named on a Government List, and the monies used in connection with this Agreement and amounts committed with respect thereto, were not and are not derived from any activities that contravene any of the Anti-Bribery, Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Laws or any other applicable anti-money laundering or anti-bribery Laws and regulations (including funds being derived from any Person, country or territory on a Government List or engaged in any unlawful activity defined under 18 U.S.C. Section 1956(c)(7)).
14.4Such Party is not engaging in the Contemplated Transactions, directly or indirectly, in violation of any Laws relating to drug trafficking, money laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering or drug trafficking. None of the funds of such Party have been or will be derived from any unlawful activity with the result that the investment of direct or indirect equity owners in such Party is prohibited by Laws or that the Contemplated Transactions or this Agreement is or will be in violation of Laws.
15.Miscellaneous.
15.1Limitations of Liability.
15.1.1Seller Post-Closing Liability. If the Closing occurs, then: (A) Seller will have no liability to Buyer (and Buyer may make no claim against Seller) for a breach of any representation or warranty or any other obligation of Seller under this Agreement or any “Seller Certificate” (i.e., any certificate executed by Seller in connection with this Agreement, including the Seller Closing Certificate) until Seller’s liability for all such breaches is determined to exceed, in the aggregate, the Seller Post-Closing Threshold; (B) if such threshold is exceeded, Seller’s liability will not be limited by the Seller Post-Closing Threshold, but will be subject to clause (C) below and Section 15.1.2 (Excluded Damages), and thus will start from the first dollar without giving effect to such threshold; and (C) the liability of Seller under this Agreement and such certificates may not exceed, in the aggregate, the Seller Post-Closing Cap; and (D) Seller will have no liability to Buyer (and Buyer may make no claim against Seller) after the expiration of the Primary Survival Period.
15.1.2Excluded Damages. In no event will any Party be liable under this Agreement for consequential or punitive damages to the other Party (but the foregoing will not limit a Party’s liability to the other Party under an indemnification in this Agreement for any such damages claimed by an unrelated third party).
15.1.3Exculpations of Certain Persons and Entities. No present or future Constituent Person of Buyer or Seller will have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, for
Page 33
the obligations under this Agreement or any document executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and each of Buyer and Seller, on its behalf and on behalf of its respective successors and assigns, shall look solely to Seller or Buyer, respectively, for any payment or performance by the other Party under this Agreement or any of the documents executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement, and Buyer and Seller waive any and all such personal liability. For purposes of this Section 15.1.3, no negative capital account and no contribution or payment obligation of any partner, member or other owner in Buyer or Seller will constitute an asset of Buyer or Seller, respectively.

15.3Survival of Liability. Except as provided in this Section 15.3, any liability to a Party (“Benefiting Party”) for a breach by the other Party (“Obligated Party”) of this Agreement or of any certificate executed and delivered by a Party under this Agreement (including a breach of the representations and warranties, covenants, indemnities and all other provisions thereof) will survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement (or, in the case of a breach of a Post-Closing Obligation or Post-Termination Obligation, the expiration of the applicable Continuation Period), as applicable, until the expiration of the applicable Survival Period (as defined below).
15.3.1Termination of Liability.

15.3.3.1“Surviving (Closing) Liability” of a Party means liability for a breach (other than a breach as to which Section 15.4 (Knowledge) precludes recourse) by such Party of (A) this Agreement occurring prior to the Closing (excluding a Title Breach), or (B) a certificate executed and delivered by such Party under this Agreement.
15.3.3.2“Surviving (Termination) Liability” of a Party means liability for a breach by such Party of a provision in this Agreement (occurring prior to the termination of this Agreement) that either (A) specifies that liability for a breach of such provision survives such termination, or (B) is part of Section 5.2 (Due Diligence Requirements), Section 5.3 (Continuing Due Diligence Obligations), Section 9.2 (Representations and Warranties of Buyer), Section 10 (Disclaimer and Release), Section 12 (Brokers), Section 13 (Confidentiality; Press Releases), Section 14 (Anti-Terrorism Laws) or Section 15 (Miscellaneous).
15.4Knowledge.
15.4.1Definition. When a representation and warranty, or other statement, is made under this Agreement or any Closing Document to the “knowledge” or “actual knowledge” of a Party (or other similar phrase), it means that none of the Designated Representatives of such Party has any actual (rather than imputed or constructive) knowledge (without further investigation) of any facts indicating that such statement is not true, and when a matter or information is qualified or otherwise limited (under this Agreement or any Closing Document) to what is “actually known” or “known” (or other similar phrase) by a Party, then such matter or information will be limited to the extent that any one or more Designated Representatives of such Party have actual (rather than imputed or constructive) knowledge (without further investigation) of such matter or information. None of the Designated Representatives will have any liability under this Agreement.
15.4.2Designated Representatives. Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that each of its Designated Representatives is an individual affiliated with, or employed by, such Party or one of its Affiliates. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that one
Page 36
of Seller’s Designated Representatives has been primarily and directly involved in the asset management or property management of the Property for a period of at least 12 months before the Effective Date. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that one of Buyer’s Designated Representatives has been primarily and directly involved in the acquisition of the Property.
15.4.3Knowledge as Defense. Seller will have no liability, and Buyer may make no Claim against Seller, for (and Buyer will be deemed to have waived any failure of any conditions hereunder by reason of) a failure of any condition in favor of Buyer, or breach of the representations and warranties of Seller under this Agreement (including for this purpose any matter that would have constituted a breach of Seller’s representations and warranties had they been made as of the Closing Date) if (A) such failure of condition or breach is known to Buyer as of the Effective Date, or (B) such failure of condition or breach is known to Buyer prior to Closing and Buyer proceeds with the Closing. However, in no event will a Party’s proceeding with the Closing with knowledge of a breach by the other Party under this Agreement waive such breach if such breach is (a) a breach of a covenant, or (b) a breach of the representations and warranties of Seller or Buyer under this Agreement or the Seller or Buyer Closing Certificate.
15.5Successors and Assigns. A transfer of direct or indirect interests in Buyer shall not be permitted without the prior consent of Seller, and neither Party may assign or transfer its rights (or any right to damages arising from a breach), or delegate its obligations, under this Agreement, either directly or indirectly (whether by outright transfer, transfer of ownership interests or otherwise) without the prior consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except that:
(A) the following transfers by or in Buyer will be permitted without the consent of Seller: (1) an assignment by Buyer of all of its right, title, and interest in this Agreement on or before the Closing Date to an Entity (a “Buyer’s Assignee”) that is a Buyer Permitted Entity so long as (a) Buyer gives Seller at least five (5) Business Days’ advance notice thereof (including the name, entity type, and signature block of Buyer’s Assignee), and (b) Buyer and Buyer’s Assignee execute and deliver to Seller an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, under which Buyer’s Assignee assumes in writing all of Buyer’s obligations and liabilities hereunder, whenever arising, whether before or after such assumption; and (2) transfers of direct or indirect interests in Buyer but only if Buyer remains a Buyer Permitted Entity;
(B) transfers of direct or indirect interests in Seller will be permitted without the consent of Buyer, provided that this Agreement is assumed and the obligations of Seller under this Agreement are acknowledged in writing by the transferee; and
(C) without the consent of the other Party, either Party may assign this Agreement to a third party intermediary facilitator in connection with a tax-free exchange (and the other Party shall cooperate with any such exchange but the other Party may not be required to take title to other property or incur more than de minimis expenses or liabilities and the Closing Date may not be delayed, and the exchanging Party shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless each Related Party of the other Party from any Claims resulting from such exchange).
Page 37
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event of a transfer by Buyer or Seller of this Agreement, the transferor will not be released from its obligations arising before or after the assignment hereunder (and waives all suretyship or guarantor defenses that might otherwise apply), and the transferor shall be jointly and severally liable with the transferee for any obligations or liabilities that arise in connection with this Agreement, whether before or after any such assignment. No consent given by a Party to any transfer or assignment of the other Party’s rights or obligations hereunder will be construed as a consent to any other transfer or assignment of such Party’s rights or obligations hereunder. No transfer or assignment in violation of the provisions hereof will be valid or enforceable. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Parties.
15.6Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any notice, request, direction, demand, consent, waiver, approval, or other communication required (or otherwise contemplated to be given or that purports to affect the rights or obligations of a Party) under this Agreement by one Party to the other Party (each, a “Notice”) will not be effective unless it is in writing and complies with this Section 15.6. The purpose of this Section 15.6 is to ensure prompt and accurate communication. If circumstances change, then each Party shall consider, in good faith, requests by the other Party for reasonable modification of this Section 15.6 that would better accomplish the purpose of this Section 15.6.
15.6.1Addresses and Addressees. Each Notice must be addressed and delivered (A) in the case of a hard copy Notice, to each of the Notice Addresses for the receiving Party (and a Notice in the form of a PDF attachment to an email must be addressed to each such Notice Address), and (B) in the case of an email (i.e., electronic mail), in accordance with Section 15.6.4 (Emails).
15.6.2Method of Delivery. Each Notice must be delivered as follows: (A) personally by an independent third party; (B) by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid; (C) by FedEx Express or other reputable courier service regularly providing evidence of delivery (with charges paid by the Party sending such Notice); (D) by email in accordance with Section 15.6.4 (Emails); or (E) if delivery by the alternative means described above is not reasonable at the time in question, by any other reasonable means under the circumstances.
15.6.3Timing and Evidence of Delivery. A Notice will be deemed delivered at the time of receipt by each of the required recipients (whether accepted or refused) (A) as confirmed in writing by the person delivering such Notice if delivered personally, (B) as shown by the addressee’s return receipt if delivered by registered or certified mail, (C) as confirmed in writing by the courier service if delivered by courier, (D) at the time it enters the email system (whether a cloud-based system such as Office 365 or Gmail or a local mail server, or any associated email filtering service provider, such as Mimecast) for each of the Designated Email Addresses of the receiving Party, regardless of any non-delivery message received in response, unless the email is rejected or quarantined by such email system and the sending Party or anyone affiliated with the sending Party is responsible for such rejection or quarantine (e.g.,
Page 38
because the email is infected with a virus), and (E) otherwise, upon the date the sending Party proves receipt occurred. However, (1) if delivery of a Notice otherwise in accordance with this Section 15.6 occurs after 6:00 p.m. (Local Time where received) or on a non-Business Day, then such Notice will be deemed delivered on the first Business Day after the day of actual delivery, (2) if a Notice to be delivered by email pursuant to Section 15.6.4 (Emails) cannot be delivered because of a problem affecting the email system for one of the Designated Email Addresses of the receiving Party (including the failure to maintain a domain name included in any such Designated Email Address), then the deadline for receiving such Notice will be extended until the sooner to occur of actual delivery or the first Business Day after the sending Party has knowledge that such Notice was not delivered and that such problem has been fixed, and (3) if the sending Party receives immediate notification that an email Notice is rejected because the attachments to an email are too large (but not because the recipient’s email box has insufficient capacity), then such email delivery will occur when an email with a link or other appropriate instructions (which give the receiving Party access to such attachments) is (or multiple emails with such attachments that do not generate such rejection message are) delivered in accordance with Section 15.6.4 (Emails).
15.6.4Emails. A Notice delivered by email will be effective only if: (A) it is addressed and delivered to all the Designated Email Addresses of the receiving Party; and (B) in the case of a notice of default, a DDP Continuation Notice, a DDP Termination Notice or other notice of termination, such Notice is delivered by PDF attachment to an email Notice. However, the requirements of clauses (A) and (B) above will be waived as to any email Notice if the sending Party proves the email Notice was timely received and read by a Designated Representative of the receiving Party.
15.6.5Notice by Counsel. Counsel to a Party may provide a Notice and receive a Notice on behalf of such Party that complies with this Section 15.6.
15.7Intentionally Omitted.
15.8Force Majeure. In case by reason of Force Majeure, as such term is hereinafter defined, either the banks, the recorder’s office (for land records) located in the Subject County or the applicable governmental agencies are closed or not fully operational and, with respect to the applicable governmental agencies, are unable to process approval of Buyer’s site plan pursuant to Sections 6 and 9.4 hereof, then either Party shall give notice and full particulars of such Force Majeure, in writing, to the other Party, within a reasonable time promptly after occurrence of such event, and the Development Approvals Period shall be tolled for the lesser of (i) the period of such delay or (ii) ninety (90) days, and the notice Party shall endeavor to remove or overcome such inability with all reasonable dispatch. The term “Force Majeure” as employed herein shall mean acts of God, strikes, pandemics, lockouts or other industrial disturbances, acts of the public enemy, orders of any kind of the Government of the United States, or of the state or any civil or military authority, insurrections, riots, occurrence of any war, armed conflict, civil unrest, terrorism, or other social or political instability (whether domestic or international) landslides, lighting, earthquakes, fire, hurricanes, storm, floods, washouts, droughts, explosions, partial or entire failure of utilities, shortages of labor, material,
Page 39
supplies, any sanctions, embargoes, or government orders that directly impact the Contemplated Transactions or Property or any other similar or different cause not reasonably within the control of the Party claiming such inability.
15.9 Legal Costs. If either Party brings any suit, action, or other proceeding with respect to the subject matter or the enforcement of this Agreement, the prevailing Party (as determined by the court, agency, or other authority before which such suit or proceeding is commenced), in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees, court costs, and expenses of investigation actually incurred. The foregoing includes attorneys’ and experts’ fees, and expenses of investigation (including those incurred in appellate proceedings), and expenses incurred in establishing the right to indemnification, and all of the foregoing in any action or participation in, or in connection with, any case or proceeding under Chapter 7, 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.), or any successor statutes.
15.10 Recordation. Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or notice of this Agreement may be recorded by any Party without the prior consent of the other Party hereto.
15.11 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.
15.11.1 Choice of Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), will be governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the Subject State, including its statutes of limitations and repose (subject to the limitations herein contained), but without regard to any borrowing statute that would result in the application of the statute of limitations or repose of any other jurisdiction.
15.11.2 Choice of Venue. (A) Each of Buyer and Seller irrevocably and unconditionally submits (and may not object) to the exclusive and mandatory jurisdiction of (1) the Subject State court in the Subject County, and (2) the United States District Court with jurisdiction in the Subject County for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any Contemplated Transactions; (B) no Party may (1) plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum or (2) bring any action, suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement in any other forum. However, this Section will not preclude the enforcement by Buyer or Seller of any judgment obtained in accordance with this Agreement or the taking by Buyer or Seller of any action to enforce the same in any other appropriate jurisdiction, and each of Buyer and Seller waives any right to collaterally attack any such judgment or action.
15.12 Jury Trial. Each Party waives trial by jury in any action, proceeding, claim or counterclaim brought by either Party in connection with any matter arising out of or in any way connected with any one or more of this Agreement, the Closing Documents, the relationship
Page 40
of Seller and Buyer hereunder, Seller’s or Buyer’s ownership or use of the Property, and any claims of injury or damage related to the Property.
15.13 Time of the Essence; Non-Business Days. Time is of the essence in the occurrence of all events, the satisfaction of all conditions, and the performance of all obligations hereunder. However, whenever action must be taken (including the giving of notice or the delivery of documents) under this Agreement during a certain period of time (or by a particular date) that ends (or occurs) on a non-Business Day, then such period (or date) will be extended until the immediately following Business Day. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, (A) all references to time in this Agreement will be deemed to refer to Local Time, and (B) all time periods provided for under this Agreement will expire at 5:00 p.m. on the last day of such period.
15.14 No Waiver. No waiver by a Party of any breach of this Agreement by the other Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach by such other Party (whether preceding or succeeding and whether or not of the same or similar nature). The failure of a Party to insist in one or more instances upon strict performance of any provision, term or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right that is contained herein or provided by law, whether intentional or unintentional, will not adversely affect that Party’s right in the future to insist upon the strict performance of such provision, term or condition or to exercise any of its other legal rights under this Agreement. Such a failure to insist upon strict performance in one or more instances will not, under any circumstances, constitute a legally enforceable “course of performance” or “course of dealing” between the Parties. Closing will constitute a waiver of any condition to Closing, but (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) will not constitute a waiver of liability for a breach occurring prior to Closing.
15.15 Schedules; Exhibits; Entire Agreement; Modification. All schedules and exhibits attached and referred to in this Agreement are incorporated herein as if fully set forth in (and will be deemed to be a material part of) this Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties respecting the matters herein set forth and supersedes all prior agreements between the Parties hereto respecting such matters. No extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any judicial, arbitral or other proceeding to interpret this Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by written agreement signed and delivered by both Parties.
15.16 Interpretation.
15.16.1 Section Headings. Section headings may not be used in construing this Agreement or any Closing Document.
15.16.2 Rules of Construction. Each Party acknowledges that such Party and its counsel, after negotiation and consultation, have reviewed and revised this Agreement and the form of each Closing Document. As such, the terms of this Agreement and each Closing Document will be fairly construed and the usual rule of construction, to the effect that any ambiguities herein should be resolved against the drafting Party, may not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.
Page 41
15.16.3 Words. Except as otherwise indicated: (A) as used in this Agreement, the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and “hereby” will be construed to mean “in this Agreement,” “of this Agreement,” “under this Agreement,” and “by this Agreement,” respectively, and references to “this Agreement” will include this Agreement and all amendments and supplements hereto; and (B) as used in this Agreement or any Closing Document: (1) the words “including,” “include” or “includes” will be interpreted in a non-exclusive manner without limiting the generality of the preceding subject matter; (2) “good faith” means “honesty in fact” as such phrase is used in the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in the Subject State as of the Effective Date; (3) the word “shall” is intended to indicate a command as though the words “is obligated to” or “are obligated to,” as applicable, were used instead; (4) “commercially reasonable efforts” will not include any obligation to institute or threaten legal proceedings, to declare or threaten to declare any person in default, to incur any liabilities, to expend any monies (other than customary telephone, printing, copying, delivery and similar expenses), or to cause any other person to do any of the foregoing; (5) the two words in each of the following pairs of words (whether used in the singular or the plural) will be deemed to have the same meanings, each of which will encompass any meaning attributable to either word: “approval” and “consent”; “breach” and “default”; “cost” and “expense”; and “true” and “correct”; and (6) all Schedule, Exhibit and Section references in this Agreement will be deemed to refer to the Schedules, Exhibits and Sections in this Agreement.
15.16.4 Gender and Number. Words of any gender used in this Agreement or any Closing Document will be construed to include any other gender unless the context requires otherwise. When a singular defined term is used in the plural or a plural defined term is used in the singular, it will have a corresponding meaning (e.g., if “Box” were a defined term, then “Boxes” would mean all of the same, collectively, and if “Boxes” were a defined term, then “Box” would mean any one of them, individually).
15.16.5 Consents. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any consent provided to be given by a Party under this Agreement or any Closing Document must be in writing to be effective and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, may be given or withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of such Party for any reason or no reason. If a consent may not be “unreasonably withheld” under this Agreement or any Closing Document, it will mean that it may not be “unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.”
15.17 Third Parties. Except as provided in Sections 10 (Disclaimer and Release), 15.1.3 (Exculpations of Certain Persons and Entities), and 15.22 (Indemnification Procedures; Beneficiaries of Indemnification), nothing in this Agreement, whether expressed or implied, is intended to or will: (A) confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any person other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; (B) relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third persons to any Party; or (C) give any third parties any right of subrogation or action over or against any Party. Without limiting the foregoing, no broker will have any rights by reason of Section 12.2 (Known Brokers).
15.18 Further Assurances. Each Party shall, whenever and as often as it is reasonably requested so to do by the other, promptly cause to be executed, acknowledged or
Page 42
delivered any and all such further instruments and documents as may be necessary or proper to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement (but only if the same do not increase in any material respect the expenses, liabilities, or obligations of, such Party in a manner not otherwise provided for herein).
15.19 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance will, 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, will not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement will be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Laws.
15.20 Counterparts; Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via electronic mail (including pdf or other electronic format attached to an email delivered in accordance with Section 15.6 (Notices) or any electronic signature process complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000) (or to the extent such statute has been modified or superseded by a statute in the Subject State, then such latter statute) delivered by any transmission method permitted under Section 15.6 (Notices), and any counterpart so delivered will be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes. Electronic signatures will be deemed original signatures for purposes of this Agreement and all matters related thereto (including the Closing Documents other than the Deed), with such electronic signatures having the same legal effect as original signatures. Each Party waives any defenses based upon the absence of manually executed original counterparts of this Agreement (or the Closing Documents, other than the Deed).
15.21 Effectiveness. In no event will any draft of this Agreement (or any emails or other communications regarding the status of this Agreement short of delivery of executed counterparts) create any obligation or liability, it being understood that this Agreement will be effective and binding only when a counterpart hereof has been executed and delivered by each Party.
15.22 Indemnification Procedures; Beneficiaries of Indemnification. Each indemnity under this Agreement will be subject to the indemnification provisions (“General Indemnification Provisions”) set forth on Exhibit J attached hereto with respect to any “Third Party Claims” (as defined below). The indemnification obligations under this Agreement will also benefit any present or future Constituent Person of each stated indemnitee. Seller shall have no liability for any claim for indemnification made after the expiration of the Primary Survival Period.
16.Exclusive Negotiations. Unless this Agreement has been terminated without the Property having been conveyed to Buyer: (A) Seller may not make, accept or solicit offers or enter into or continue negotiations with a third party related to the sale of the Property to such third party (or an Affiliate), and (B) without limitation on the generality of the foregoing, Seller

In all events Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller or Buyer, as applicable, only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, after which Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of such demand. Thereafter, (a) if Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within five (5) days after the giving of such notice, then Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment, but (b) 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.

SCHEDULE 5.2.3
DUE DILIGENCE INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
This Schedule sets forth the insurance requirements that Buyer must satisfy by causing each DD Contractor (each, an “Insured Party”) to satisfy under Section 5.2.3 of the purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) to which this Schedule is attached and of which this Schedule forms a part. Except as otherwise indicated in this Schedule, each capitalized term used herein will have the meaning given to the same elsewhere in the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
A. General Liability. Commercial general liability insurance for bodily injury and property damage, including contractual liability arising out of Due Diligence Investigations at or near the Property, issued on an occurrence basis using the “Required CGL Form” (i.e., the most recent commercially available ISO form CG 00 01), and meeting at least the following specifications:
(1) Minimum Limits: The policy must have limits of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate on an annual basis; and
(2) Prohibited Exclusions and Limitations: Without limitation on the foregoing, the policy may not have (a) any endorsement modifying the employer’s liability exclusion, or (b) any “insured vs. insured” exclusion (other than named insured vs. named insured).
B. Business Auto Liability. Business auto liability insurance with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 per accident, for bodily injury and property damage arising out of vehicles used by the Insured Party in connection with Due Diligence Investigations at or near the Property, and including owned, leased, non-owned and hired vehicles. If a contractor does not have company vehicles, this requirement can be satisfied by adding Hired Non-Owned Auto on such contractor’s General Liability.
C. Workers Compensation and Employer’s Liability. Workers compensation insurance with statutory limits and employer’s liability insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per accident, $1,000,000 per employee for disease and $1,000,000 in the aggregate for disease, covering each individual employed in connection with the Due Diligence Investigations (whether employed by Buyer, by an Entity affiliated with Buyer, by a DD Contractor, or otherwise) at or near the Property on behalf of the applicable Insured Party.
D. Excess or Umbrella. Commercial excess or umbrella liability insurance with respect to the general liability, business auto and employer’s liability insurance required in this Schedule on a follow form (and no less broad than primary) basis and with a limit of not less than $5,000,000 each occurrence and general aggregate (except that, if approved by
Page 55
Seller, such amount may be less in the case of insurance to be carried by DD Contractors).
E. General Requirements.
(1) Insurance Company: The insurance company must have a rating of at least A-VII in Best’s Key Rating Guide and be authorized (or in the case of non-admitted insurers, authorized) to do business in the State in which the Property is located.
(2) Additional Insureds: With the exception of workers compensation and employer’s liability coverage, each of the policies identified above must include Buyer, Seller, Seller’s property manager (if any), Seller’s mortgage lender(s), if any, each other Seller Related Party, and each other Person designated by Seller, as additional insureds (collectively, the “Additional Insureds”). The commercial general liability insurance policy will be endorsed by the most recent commercially available ISO form CG 20 26, and must specify the Additional Insureds and provide them with coverage at least as broad as that provided to the first named insured. If the Insured Party’s CGL or excess or umbrella liability policies limit the Additional Insureds’ coverage to the limits specified in a written agreement, then the minimum limits required under this Agreement for such insurance are the greater of the applicable limits specified in this Schedule or the limits actually carried by the Insured Party.
(3) Primary Coverage: The commercial general liability coverage and business auto liability coverage in favor of Additional Insureds required above will be primary and non-contributory; and the commercial general liability insurance policy will be endorsed by the most recent commercially available ISO form CG 20 01.
(4) Waiver of Subrogation: A waiver of subrogation in favor of the Additional Insureds will be provided for coverages required under this Schedule (except as may be prohibited by state workers compensation laws). Without limitation on Buyer’s indemnification obligations (or any waiver that may have been provided in a prior access agreement), Buyer hereby waives (and shall require each other Insured Party to waive) all rights against the Additional Insureds for bodily injury or property damage arising out of Due Diligence Investigations at or near the Property to the extent such bodily injury or property damage is covered by any insurance required to be or actually maintained by or on behalf of Buyer (or such other Insured Party) under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, with the understanding that it would not be covered to the extent of the lesser of (a) any permitted deductible or self-insured retention permitted under this Exhibit, or (b) any actual deductible or self-insured retention under such insurance.
(5) Evidence of Coverage: In addition to the certificates of insurance and additional insured endorsements required to be delivered under Section 5.2.3, Buyer shall upon Seller’s request promptly deliver to Seller copies of each of the
Page 56
endorsements required in this Schedule. Neither Seller’s failure to require evidence that the requirements of this Schedule have been met, nor Seller’s failure to object to evidence indicating that the requirements of this Schedule have not been met, will constitute a waiver of such requirements.
(6) Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions: Except with Seller’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, no Insured Party may maintain a deductible or self-insured retention, or both, with respect to any of the insurance required by this Schedule that exceeds $50,000. No Insured Party may otherwise self-insure any insurance required by this Schedule.
(7) Approval of Minor Deviations: Seller may not unreasonably withhold its approval to (a) alternative insurance proposed by Buyer that provides substantially equivalent coverage to the coverage required under this Schedule (but not less than the specified amounts or such other amounts as may be approved by Seller), and (b) excess or umbrella liability limits less than $5,000,000 for small but reputable DD Contractors that maintain lower limits of excess or umbrella liability coverage.
F. Blanket Policies. Any of the policy requirements in this Schedule may be satisfied through a blanket policy of insurance maintained by an Insured Party or its affiliate so long as the Insured Party is a named insured and such blanket policy complies with the requirements in this Schedule insofar as the Property is concerned.

GENERAL INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES
This Exhibit sets forth the indemnification procedures referenced in Section 15.22 of the agreement (this “Agreement”) to which this Exhibit is attached for a Third Party Claim as to which a Party is obligated to indemnify the other Party under this Agreement.
1. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the indemnitee (“Indemnitee”) of notice of the Third Party Claim, Indemnitee shall, if a demand for indemnification is to be made against the indemnitor (“Indemnitor”) under this Agreement, give notice to Indemnitor of the same, describing with reasonable detail the material facts known to the Indemnitor relating to the Third Party Claim. However, the failure to so notify Indemnitor will not relieve Indemnitor of its obligation to indemnify Indemnitee, except to the extent that Indemnitor is prejudiced by such failure. To be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the demand for indemnification must be made prior to the expiration of the applicable Continuation Period.
2. Indemnitor shall defend the Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee (unless selected by Indemnitor’s insurance company). If Indemnitee fails to issue its disapproval to proposed counsel, or issues a disapproval without specifying reasons therefor, within ten (10) days from Indemnitor’s request for approval, then Indemnitee is deemed to have approved proposed counsel.
3. Indemnitee may employ its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of Indemnitee unless: (a) the employment of such counsel at Indemnitor’s expense is approved by Indemnitor; or (b) Indemnitor fails to give notice to Indemnitee that Indemnitor will discharge or undertake to defend Indemnitee against the Third Party Claim within 15 days after Indemnitee gives Indemnitor written notice of the same (in which case Indemnitor will not have the right to direct the defense of the Third Party Claim or of Indemnitee and Indemnitee may undertake its own defense of the matter); in either event, such fees and expenses will be borne by Indemnitor to the extent that such fees and expenses are reasonably incurred in connection with the Third Party Claim.
4. If at any time (a) the counsel selected by Indemnitor and accepted by Indemnitee is not defending the Third Party Claim, in accordance with the applicable rules of professional conduct and utilizing the skills and professional judgment that are customarily employed in the Subject City by reputable legal counsel who are experienced in the defense of matters similar to the Third Party Claim, (b) there may be legal defenses available to Indemnitee that are different from or in addition to those available to any Person being concurrently represented by such counsel selected by Indemnitor and accepted by Indemnitee and such legal counsel is not timely asserting such legal defenses on behalf of Indemnitee, (c) such counsel selected by Indemnitor and accepted by Indemnitee has a conflict of interest that would be unreasonable to waive, or (d) there is a conflict of
Page 79
interest that is not unreasonable to waive and Indemnitor or such counsel is not willing to execute and deliver a conflict waiver in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, then Indemnitee may notify Indemnitor and such counsel of such fact. If, within ten (10) days after such notice is delivered, the performance of such counsel does not conform to the above standards (with respect to subparagraph (a)), or the perceived defense or conflict of interest issue is not resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of such counsel and Indemnitee (with respect to subparagraphs (b) (c) and (d)), then within 15 days after such ten-day period, Indemnitee may (x) engage new legal counsel (reasonably acceptable to Indemnitor) to undertake defense of the Third Party Claim, and (y) cause such new legal counsel to notify Indemnitor that it has been so engaged and that it has read and agrees to abide by the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the defense of Indemnitee. In such event, the fees and expenses of such new legal counsel will be borne by Indemnitor to the extent that such fees and expenses are reasonably incurred in connection with the Third Party Claim.
5. Indemnitor and Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate (a) in the defense or prosecution of the Third Party Claim and shall (subject to confidentiality arrangements reasonably satisfactory to each of the Parties) furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith, and (b) so that Indemnitor, to the extent possible without negating the other provisions in this Exhibit, is not required to pay for more than one counsel to represent all Indemnitees in connection with the Third Party Claim.
6. The Third Party Claim may not be settled without the approval of both Indemnitor and Indemnitee, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld.
