Section 6. Examination of Property.
Seller and Buyer hereby agree as follows:
(a)Title Examination. Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, Buyer shall order a title report with respect to the Property (the “Title Report”) from the Title Insurer. Buyer may order a survey of the Property (the “Survey”). Buyer may furnish to



Seller prior to the expiration of the Examination Period a statement specifying any defects in title and/or the Survey (the “Objections”). Seller shall notify Buyer within five (5) days after receipt of the Objections whether Seller will cure the Objections. If Seller does not respond within said five (5) day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure the Objections. If Seller does not agree (or is deemed to not agree) to cure the Objections, Buyer shall have the right, by notice given to Seller and Title Insurer within three (3) business days after receipt of Seller’s notice (or within three (3) business days of the expiration of Seller’s five (5) business day response period, if Seller does not respond), either to (a) waive the Objections and proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in which event such Objections shall be Permitted Exceptions, or (b) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be paid to Buyer. If Buyer fails to elect to terminate this Agreement by notice given to Seller within said three (3) business day period, then Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have elected to waive the Objections. If Buyer fails to deliver the Objections to Seller prior to the expiration of the Examination Period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to any defect set forth in the Title Report and Survey. If at any time after Buyer’s receipt of the initial Title Report or Survey, any update to the Title Report or Survey discloses any additional item which was not disclosed on any version of or update to a Title Report or Survey delivered to Buyer previously (the “New Exception”), Buyer shall have a period of two (2) business days from the date of its receipt of such update (the “New Exception Review Period”) to review and notify Seller in writing of Buyer’s approval or disapproval of the New Exception, or if no such notice is provided, such New Exception will be deemed to have been waived, in which event such New Exception shall be a Permitted Exception. If Buyer disapproves of the New Exception, Seller may, in its sole discretion, notify Buyer as to whether it is willing to cure the New Exception. If Seller fails to deliver a notice to Buyer within two (2) business days after the expiration of the New Exception Review Period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure the New Exception. If Buyer is dissatisfied with Seller’s response, or lack thereof, Buyer may, as its exclusive remedy, elect, upon written notice to Seller two (2) business days after receipt of Seller’s response (or within two (2) business days of the expiration of Seller’s two (2) business day response period, if Seller does not respond), either: (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be paid to Buyer, or (b) to waive the New Exception and proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in which event such New Exception shall be a Permitted Exception. If Buyer fails to notify Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the foregoing sentence within two (2) business days after receipt of Seller’s response (or within two (2) business days of the expiration of Seller’s two (2) business day response period, if Seller does not respond), Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to approve and irrevocably waive any objections to the New Exception, in which event such New Exception shall be a Permitted Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be required to cure: (x) all monetary liens or encumbrances against the Property that are dischargeable by payment of a liquidated sum; and (y) all encumbrances against title which are created by or through Seller after the date hereof except if otherwise approved in writing by Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion.
(b)Examination. Within two (2) business days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all of the materials set forth on Schedule 6(b) attached hereto to the extent such materials are in Seller’s possession and are readily available, and should there



be any delay in the delivery of such materials by Seller to Buyer, for each day that passes thereafter until all of such materials are delivered to Buyer, the Examination Period shall be extended by one (1) day. Additionally, during the term of this Agreement, Buyer, its agents and designees, shall have the right to enter the Property during normal business hours for the purposes of inspecting the Property, and making surveys, mechanical and structural engineering studies, inspecting construction, and conducting any other investigations and inspections as Buyer may require to assess the condition and suitability of the Property; provided, however, that such activities by or on behalf of Buyer on the Property shall not materially damage the Property nor unreasonably interfere with the conduct of business by Seller or any of Seller’s tenants; and provided further, however, that Buyer shall (i) indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all actual claims, judgments, fines, penalties, reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and damages to the extent resulting from damage to the Property or injury to persons as a result of the activities of Buyer and its agents and designees on the Property (including, but not limited to, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees), and (ii) repair any and all damage caused, in whole or in part, by Buyer, which obligations shall survive any termination of this Agreement; except, however, that Buyer shall not be responsible for any repairs necessitated by Buyer’s discovery of any pre-existing conditions on the Property during Buyer’s diligence inspections except to the extent any such conditions are exacerbated by Buyer. Before entering the Property, Buyer shall give reasonable written notice to Seller’s designated representative(s) of such entry upon the Property by Buyer, and Seller may have a representative present during any and all examinations, inspections and/or studies on the Property.
Buyer shall have the unconditional right, for any reason or no reason, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to the expiration of the Examination Period, in which event this Agreement shall become null and void, Buyer shall receive a refund of the Earnest Money, and all rights, liabilities and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall expire, except as otherwise set forth herein. If Buyer does not provide Seller written notice stating that it waives its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6(b), then this Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the Examination Period, Buyer shall receive a refund of the Earnest Money, and all rights, liabilities and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall expire, except as otherwise set forth herein. If Buyer provides written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Examination Period stating that Buyer elects to proceed with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and Buyer and Seller shall proceed to Closing, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Section 7. Risk of Loss/Condemnation.
Until Closing, the risk of loss or damage to the Property shall be borne by Seller. In the event all or any portion of the Property is damaged in any casualty or condemned or taken (or notice of any condemnation or taking is issued), Seller shall give Buyer written notice immediately upon becoming aware thereof, and: (a) with respect to any casualty, if the cost to repair such casualty would exceed five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price, and (b) with respect to any condemnation or taking (or notice thereof), the proposed condemnation or taking would



result in the loss of legal access to a public right-of way or the reduction of value in the Property by more than five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price, then, in either such case, Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of such termination to Seller within ten (10) business days after Buyer’s receipt of notice of such condemnation, taking or damage, upon which termination the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer and neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except as otherwise set forth herein. With respect to any condemnation or taking (or any notice thereof), if Buyer does not elect to cancel this Agreement, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Seller shall assign to Buyer, at the Closing, the rights of Seller to the awards, if any, for the condemnation or taking, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep all such awards to be applied in accordance with the term of the Lease. With respect to a casualty, if Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement or does not have the right to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Seller shall assign to Buyer, at the Closing, the rights of Seller to the proceeds under Seller’s insurance policies covering such Property with respect to such damage or destruction (or pay to Buyer any such proceeds received prior to Closing), with Seller responsible for payment of any deductible and/or uninsured amount with respect thereto, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep any monies received from such insurance policies which shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
Section 8. Earnest Money Disbursement.
The Earnest Money shall be held by the Title Insurer, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:
(a)The Title Insurer shall invest the Earnest Money in a money market account reasonably satisfactory to Buyer at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, and shall promptly provide Buyer and Seller with confirmation of the investments made, including the name and address of the bank where such account is maintained and the account number thereof.
(b)If the Closing occurs, the Title Insurer shall deliver the Earnest Money to, or upon the instructions of, Seller and Buyer upon the Closing. If for any reason the Closing does not occur, the Title Insurer shall deliver the Earnest Money to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this Section 8(b). Subject to the last sentence of this Section 8(b), if for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand (the “Demand”) upon the Title Insurer for payment of the Earnest Money, the Title Insurer shall give written notice to the other party of the Demand within one (1) business day after receipt of the Demand. If the Title Insurer does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within five (5) business days after the giving of such notice by Title Insurer, the Title Insurer is hereby authorized to make the payment set forth in the Demand. If the Title Insurer does receive such written objection within such period, the Title Insurer shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(b) if Buyer delivers a notice to Title Insurer on or prior to the expiration of the Examination Period that Buyer has terminated this Agreement, then Title Insurer shall immediately return the Earnest Money to Buyer without the necessity of delivering any notice to, or receiving any notice from Seller.



(c)Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the Title Insurer is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Title Insurer shall not be deemed to be the agent of any of Buyer or Seller, and that the Title Insurer shall not be liable to any of Buyer or Seller for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller or Buyer resulting from the Title Insurer’s mistake of law respecting the Title Insurer scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Title Insurer harmless from and against all liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of the Title Insurer’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the Title Insurer in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of the Title Insurer. The Title Insurer has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that the Title Insurer has received and shall hold the Earnest Money in escrow, and shall disburse the Earnest Money pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.
Section 9. Default; Breach of Representation.
(a)In the event Buyer should fail to consummate the Closing on the Closing Date, for any reason other than Seller’s default, then Seller may, upon five (5) days’ notice to Buyer, if such failure is not cured within such five (5) day period, as its sole and exclusive remedy, terminate this Agreement by notice to Buyer, and in such event Seller shall be entitled to immediately receive all of the Earnest Money as liquidated damages. Upon such termination, and receipt by Seller of all of the Earnest Money, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein. Seller and Buyer agree that it is difficult to determine, with any degree of certainty, the loss which Seller would incur in the event of Buyer’s default in its obligation to consummate the Closing on the Closing Date, and the parties have agreed that the amount of the Earnest Money represents a reasonable estimate of such loss and is intended as a liquidated damages provision.
____________   ____________
Seller’s Initials   Buyer’s Initials
(b)In the event Seller should breach, in any material respect, any of its covenants, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, or if Seller should fail to consummate the Closing on the Closing Date for any reason other than Buyer’s default, Buyer may, upon five (5) days’ notice to Seller, if such breach or failure is not cured within such five (5) day period, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either (i) waive such default or failure and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, (ii) terminate this Agreement in its entirety by notice to Seller, in which event the Title Insurer shall return immediately the Earnest Money to Buyer, and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer’s actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred with respect to its negotiation of this Agreement and due diligence with respect to the Property, including but not limited to environmental and engineering consultants’ fees, legal fees, and financing deposits, and thereafter neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities



hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein, or (iii) enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder.
(c) As a condition precedent to Buyer exercising any right it may have to bring an action for specific performance hereunder, Buyer must commence such an action within sixty (60) days after Buyer becomes aware of the occurrence of Seller’s default. Buyer agrees that its failure to timely commence such an action for specific performance within such sixty (60) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of Buyer’s right to commence an action for specific performance.
(d)Notwithstanding Subparagraphs 9(a) and 9(b) hereof, in no event shall the provisions of Subparagraphs 9(a) and 9(b) limit the damages recoverable by either party against the other party due to the other party’s obligation to indemnify such party in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement. This Subparagraph (d) shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a default of Seller hereunder which makes specific performance unavailable, Buyer shall, in addition to the foregoing remedies, be permitted to pursue any and all rights and remedies available to Buyer at law or in equity.
(f)All representations and warranties in this Agreement, and covenants required to be performed under this Agreement prior to Closing, shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months after the Closing (the “Survival Period”). Any right of action for the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein shall not merge with the deeds delivered at the Closing but shall survive the Closing for the Survival Period. Seller and Buyer agree that, following the Closing, each shall be liable for the direct and actual, but not special, indirect, consequential or punitive, damages resulting from any breach of its representations, warranties or covenants expressly set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that: (i) following Closing, the total liability of Seller for all such breaches of its representations and warranties under this Agreement shall not, in the aggregate, exceed three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price (the “Claim Cap”); and (ii) following Closing, the total liability of Buyer for all such breaches shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the Claim Cap. Buyer further agrees that, following the Closing, no claim may or shall be made for any alleged breach of any representations or warranties made by Seller under or relating to this Agreement unless the amount of such claim or claims, individually or in the aggregate, exceeds One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (in which event the full amount of such valid claims against Seller shall be actionable up to, but not in excess of, the Claim Cap). In the event that Seller breaches any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, in any material respect, and Buyer had actual knowledge of such breach on or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any right of recovery, and Seller shall not have any liability to Buyer in connection therewith.
Section 10. Closing.

The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing.

THE RESPECTIVE PARTIES HERETO SHALL AND HEREBY DO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY GRANTED IN THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY SELLER AND BUYER, EACH OF WHOM HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT OR OPINION HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY INDIVIDUAL TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR TO IN ANY WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT.

Buyer shall not assign this Agreement to an entity or individual which would make any of the statements, representations or warranties of Buyer set forth in Section 12 of this Agreement untrue or incorrect and any such assignment shall be null and void and without



force and effect. No assignment of this Agreement shall relieve Buyer from any of its obligations set forth herein arising prior to or after the effective date of the assignment.

Section 32. Severability.
If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Section 33Tax Treatment.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties intend to treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for federal, state and local income tax purposes as a sale of the Property to the Buyer for the Purchase Price (and other amounts required to be treated as consideration for income tax purposes, if any) and shall file all tax returns and any other governmental filings on a basis consistent therewith; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent a party from settling or offsetting any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any governmental authority challenging such tax treatment, and no party will be required to litigate any proposed adjustment by any governmental authority challenging such tax treatment. In the event that the tax treatment described in this Section 33 is disputed by any governmental authority, the party receiving the notice of the contest shall provide the other party with prompt written notice thereof (which, in any event, shall be within 30 days of receiving notice of such contest from the governmental authority).

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall not issue (or permit its affiliates to issue) any press release or



other public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby unless and until Standard & Poor’s has ceased rating the credit of Guarantor as contemplated by Section 16(g).

2.Owner is in sole possession of the Property, and no other party has possession, or, to Owner's actual knowledge, has a right of possession under any tenancy, lease or other agreement, written or oral, except for parties in possession claiming by through or under the leases, licenses or other occupancy agreements set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.
3.Except as otherwise set forth in the Commitment, Owner has not granted any rights of first refusal or options to purchase all or any part of the Property which remain in force and effect.

This Certificate is made for the purpose of inducing the Company to issue its policy of title insurance. This Certificate may be relied upon by the Company but may not be relied upon by any other person or entity.
