At Seller’s request, Purchaser shall provide Seller, without warranty, with a copy of the final reports made by third parties on behalf of Purchaser, excluding only market and economic feasibility studies and privileged materials.

ARTICLE 3: TITLE AND SURVEY REVIEW
3.1 Delivery of Title Report. No later than May 15, 2018, Seller shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser a preliminary report or title commitment issued by the Title Company (the “Title Report”), covering the Property, together with copies of all documents referenced in the Title Report and a survey (the “Survey”) of the Property.
3.2 Title Review and Cure. Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of any title objections no later than on May 22, 2018 (the “Objection Deadline”). Seller shall have no obligation to cure any title objections except monetary liens created based on the agreements of Seller (excluding any inchoate (i.e., “unfiled”) liens related to the Ongoing Work, collectively, “Seller Liens”), which Seller Liens Seller shall cause to be released at the Closing. Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, attempt to cure by the Closing Date any title objections noted by Purchaser other than Seller Liens. If Seller elects not to cure any title objection, or fails to cure any title objection by the Closing Date, in each case other than Seller Liens, then Purchaser shall either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given on or before 10 days after receipt of any notice by Seller that it elects not to cure or cannot cure any title objections, if earlier, the Closing Date, and the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser, or (ii) waive such title objections, in which event the Closing shall occur and Purchaser shall accept title to the Property subject to such title condition, subject to Seller’s foregoing obligation to cause all Seller Liens to be released. Failure to so terminate shall constitute Purchaser’s election to proceed under clause (ii). Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if the Title Report or the Survey are re-issued or updated after the Objection Deadline, Purchaser shall have the right to object (each, a “New Objection”) to any
additional material or adverse matter disclosed or contained (each, a “New Title Document Matter”) in any such update (but excluding any matters related to the Public Improvements). If Seller is unable or unwilling to cure any such New Title Document Matter to the sole satisfaction of Purchaser (in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion) within the lesser of 5 days following receipt by Seller of a New Objection or the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right either to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given on or before 10 days after receipt of any notice by Seller that it elects not to cure or cannot cure any title objections, if earlier, the Closing Date, and the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser, or (b) waive such title objections, in which event the Closing shall occur and Purchaser shall accept title to the Property subject to such title condition, subject to Seller’s foregoing obligation to cause all Seller Liens to be released. Failure to so terminate shall constitute Purchaser’s election to proceed under clause (b). Those items approved by Purchaser or deemed approved by Purchaser are hereinafter referred to as the “Permitted Exceptions.”
3.3 Title Policy. At Closing, as a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close, the Title Company shall deliver to Purchaser a 2006 ALTA form of extended coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”), issued by the Title Company, dated the date and time of recording of the Deed in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring Purchaser as owner of fee simple title to the Property and subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and without exception for any Seller Liens. If the foregoing condition is not satisfied at Closing, Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Earnest Money shall be immediately released to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further rights or liabilities hereunder except for those provisions which survive the termination of this Agreement. The Title Policy may be delivered after Closing if that is customary in the locality and the Title Company irrevocably commits at Closing to so deliver the Title Policy.
ARTICLE 4: OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS
4.1 Ongoing Operations. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller shall carry on its business and activities relating to the Property substantially in the same manner as it did before the Effective Date. Seller shall maintain all casualty and liability insurance in place as of the Effective Date with respect to the Property in amounts and with deductibles substantially the same as existing on the Effective Date.
4.2 Performance under Leases and Service Contracts. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller will perform its material obligations under the Leases and Service Contracts and other agreements that may affect the Property.
4.3 Contracts. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller will not modify any Service Contracts or enter into any contract or agreement that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the Closing, except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business required to deal with emergency situations that are terminable without cause on 30 days’ notice, without the prior consent of the Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period and which may be given or withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion thereafter. Seller agrees to terminate by written notice to the other party thereto and as otherwise required pursuant thereto, effective as of the Closing, all of the contracts that Purchaser does not, by written notice to Seller given on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, elect to assume. All contracts that Purchaser elects to assume by written notice to Seller given on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall constitute “Assumed Service Contracts.” Any property management and leasing contracts for the Property shall be terminated prior to Closing, with the exception of the Leasing Commission Agreement. For purposes of clarification, the Leasing Commission Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(d), shall be assigned to Purchaser or assumed by Purchaser at Closing. Seller shall pay all termination costs, liquidated damages, fees and/or expenses related to contracts that do not constitute Assumed Service Contracts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not terminate the Ongoing Work Contract (hereinafter defined), provided that Seller shall remain solely obligated under the Ongoing Work Contract, it being understood and agreed that Purchaser shall have no liability or obligations under the Ongoing Work Contract.
4.4 Leasing Arrangements. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller shall not, without Purchaser’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period and which may be given or withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion thereafter), enter into new leases or amendments, expansions or renewals of existing Leases. Prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to any new lease or amendment, expansion, or renewal of an existing Lease if it has not notified Seller specifying with particularity the matters to which Purchaser reasonably objects, within 5 days after its receipt of Seller’s written request for consent, together with a copy of the Lease, amendment, expansion, or renewal and any and all related leasing commission agreements and obligations. At Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller to the extent provided in Paragraph 6.2 for commissions and the cost of tenant improvements paid by Seller with respect to new leases and amendments, expansions or renewals of existing Leases that were entered into pursuant to this Paragraph 4.4 and shall assume in writing Seller’s obligation under such commission agreements and contracts for tenant improvements if and to the extent expressly identified pursuant to this Paragraph 4.4 and approved or deemed approved by Purchaser pursuant to this Paragraph 4.4 (any such commission agreements, the “New Commission Agreements”). If the rent commencement
date of any such new lease or expansion or renewal of any existing Lease falls before the Closing Date, the amount of commission and tenant improvements reimbursable by Purchaser shall be in the proportion that the length of the period from the rent commencement date to the Closing Date bears to the length of the period from the Closing Date to the end of the noncancellable term applicable to such Lease, expansion or renewal.
4.5 Damage or Condemnation. Risk of loss resulting from any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding which is commenced or has been threatened before the Closing, and risk of loss to the Property due to fire, flood or any other cause before the Closing, shall remain with Seller. If before the Closing the Property or any portion thereof shall be materially damaged, or if the Property or any portion thereof shall be subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation or shall become the subject of any proceedings, judicial, administrative or otherwise, with respect to the taking by eminent domain or condemnation, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given within 5 days after Purchaser learns of the damage or taking, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser. If the Closing Date is within the aforesaid 5-day period, then Closing shall be extended to the next business day following the end of said 5-day period. If no such election is made, and in any event if the damage is not material, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the purchase contemplated herein, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, shall be effected with no further adjustment, and upon the Closing of this purchase, Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to any awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking, and Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser any insurance proceeds that may thereafter be made for such damage or destruction giving Purchaser a credit at Closing for any deductible or self-insured or uninsured amount under such policies. For the purposes of this paragraph, the phrases “Material damage” and “Materially damaged” means (i) damage reasonably exceeding $250,000 to repair, (ii) damage resulting in material access to the Property, or a material portion of the parking, being permanently destroyed, (iii) damage that is self-insured or uninsured (unless Seller elects to give Purchaser a full credit for any such amount), or (iv) damage that would give rise to the right of any tenant to terminate its Lease, which right such tenant has not irrevocably waived in writing.
4.6 Ongoing Work. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that Seller is in the process of causing the completion of the work described in the Construction Addendum to the Maintenance Supply Lease (collectively, the “Ongoing Work”) pursuant to the Ongoing Work Contract. Seller covenants and agrees to diligently pursue the completion of the Ongoing Work in accordance with the Ongoing Work Contract and the Maintenance Supply Lease and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser and the Title Company interim lien waivers (on a 30-day trailing basis) with respect to all portions of the Ongoing Work completed prior to the Closing. Following the Closing, Seller’s performance of the Ongoing Work shall be pursuant to an Ongoing Work Escrow Agreement (the "Holdback Agreement”), which shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. To secure Seller’s obligation to complete the Ongoing Work, an amount estimated to be 125% of the cost of the Ongoing Work (based on evidence satisfactory to Purchaser in its reasonable discretion) which remains to be completed shall be withheld from Seller’s proceeds at Closing and placed into escrow with Escrow Agent as a holdback (the “Ongoing Work Holdback”). The Ongoing Work Holdback shall be disbursed by Escrow Agent in accordance with a Holdback Agreement. Purchaser and Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered at Closing the fully-executed Holdback Agreement. Upon completion of the Ongoing Work, Seller shall assign to Purchaser all guaranties and warranties received by Seller from any contractor, manufacturer or other person in connection with the construction of the Ongoing Work. The obligations of Seller hereunder shall survive the Closing.

In each such proration set forth below, the portion thereof applicable to periods beginning as of Closing shall be credited to Purchaser or charged to Purchaser as applicable and the portion thereof applicable to periods ending as of Closing shall be credited to Seller or charged to Seller as applicable.
(a) Collected Rent. All collected rent (excluding tenant reimbursements for Operating Expenses) and other collected income (and any applicable state or local tax on rent) under Leases in effect on the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Closing. Seller shall be charged with any rent and other income collected by Seller before Closing but applicable to any period of time after Closing. Uncollected rent and other income shall not be prorated. Purchaser (and Seller, if collected by Seller) shall apply rent and other income from tenants that are collected after the Closing first to the obligations then owing to Purchaser for its period of
ownership and to costs of collection, remitting the balance, if any, to Seller. Any prepaid rents for the period following the Closing Date shall be paid over by Seller to Purchaser. For a period of 90 days following the Closing, Purchaser will make reasonable efforts, without suit or obligation to declare default or incur any costs, to collect any rents applicable to the period before Closing. Seller may pursue collection as to any rent not collected by Purchaser within 6 months following the Closing Date, provided that Seller shall have no right to terminate any Lease or any tenant’s occupancy under any Lease in connection therewith.

Seller and Purchaser shall each receive a debit or credit, as the case may be, for the difference between the aggregate tenants’ current account balances for Operating Costs and amount of Operating Costs reimbursable to Seller. Operating Costs for Seller’s period of ownership shall be reasonably estimated by the parties if final bills are not available. Operating Costs that are not payable by tenants either directly or reimbursable under the Leases shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser.
(c) Taxes and Assessments. Real estate taxes and assessments imposed by governmental authority that are not yet due and payable and that are not reimbursable by tenants under the Leases as Operating Costs and prorated pursuant to Paragraph 6.1(b) shall be prorated as of the Closing based upon the most recent ascertainable assessed values and tax rates. Seller shall receive a credit for any taxes and assessments paid by Seller (other than through application of additional rents for Operating Costs) and applicable to any period after the Closing.
(d) Final Adjustment After Closing. If final prorations cannot be made at Closing for any item being prorated under this Paragraph 6.1, then Purchaser and Seller agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as invoices or bills are available and applicable reconciliation with tenants have been completed, with final adjustment to be made as soon as reasonably possible after the Closing, to the effect that income and expenses are received and paid by the parties on an accrual basis with respect to their period of ownership. Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due within 30 days of written notice (together with reasonable back-up therefor).
6.2 Leasing Costs, Leasing Commissions and Service Contracts. At Closing, Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay all leasing commissions due after the Closing Date and identified on Schedule 6.2 attached hereto or that become due after the Closing Date pursuant to any New Commission Agreement (collectively, “Purchaser’s Leasing Commissions”).

Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that, Base Rent under the Lease with Kramer America, Inc., is partially abated for the period following Closing through June 30, 2018 by an amount equal to $26,908.53 per month.

All tenant security deposits actually received by Seller (and interest thereon if required by law or contract to be earned thereon) and not theretofore applied to tenant obligations under the Leases shall be transferred or credited to Purchaser at Closing. As of the Closing, Purchaser shall assume Seller’s obligations related to tenant security deposits to the extent so transferred or credited to Purchaser.
6.4 Utilities. Purchaser shall be responsible for making any deposits required with utility companies. The readings and billings for utilities will be made if possible as of the day before the Closing Date, in which case Seller shall pay all such bills and no proration shall be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills. Otherwise, a proration shall be made based upon the parties’ reasonable good faith estimate and a readjustment made within 30 days after the Closing, if necessary.
6.5 Sale Commissions. Seller and Purchaser represent and warrant each to the other that they have not dealt with any real estate broker, sales person or finder in connection with this transaction other than Broker. If this transaction is closed, Seller shall pay Broker in accordance with their separate agreement.

If Purchaser shall default in its obligation to purchase the Property pursuant to this Agreement, Seller shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Agreement and receive the Earnest Money as liquidated damages to recompense Seller for time spent, labor and services performed, and the loss of its bargain. Purchaser and Seller agree that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to affix damages if Purchaser so defaults and that the Earnest Money, together with the interest thereon, represents a reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages. Seller agrees to accept the Earnest Money as Seller’s total damages and relief hereunder if Purchaser defaults in its obligation to close hereunder. If Purchaser does so default, this Agreement shall be terminated and Purchaser shall have no further right, title, or interest in or to the Property.
8.2 Default by Seller. If Seller defaults in its obligation to sell the Property under this Agreement or otherwise defaults in any material obligation under this Agreement (which remains uncured as of the Closing Date, provided, Seller shall have not less than 5 days’ notice with opportunity to cure, and the Closing Date shall be extended if necessary to afford such cure period), Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to elect one of the following: (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to the return by the Title Company to Purchaser of the Earnest Money and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements) related to the negotiation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and Purchaser’s due diligence, up to a maximum of $125,000.00, or (b) to bring a suit for specific performance provided that any suit for specific performance must be brought within 90 days of Seller’s default, to the extent permitted by law, Purchaser waiving the right to bring suit at any later date. This Agreement confers no present right, title or interest in the Property to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees not to file a lis pendens or other similar notice against the Property except in connection with, and after, the proper filing of a suit for specific performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Paragraph 8.2 shall limit the rights and remedies of Purchaser with respect to any obligations or liabilities of Seller that survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 9: ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS
9.1 Investment and Use of Funds. The Escrow Agent shall invest the Earnest Money in government insured interest‑bearing accounts satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller, shall not commingle the Earnest Money with any funds of the Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Purchaser and Seller with confirmation of the investments made. If the Closing under this Agreement occurs, the Escrow Agent shall apply the Earnest Money against the Purchase Price due Seller at Closing.
9.2 Agreement Termination. Upon a termination of this Agreement, either party to this Agreement (the “Terminating Party”) may give written notice to the Escrow Agent and the other party (the “Non-Terminating Party”) of such termination and the reason for such termination. Such request shall also constitute a request for the release of the Earnest Money to the Terminating Party. The Non-Terminating Party shall then have five business days in which to object in writing to the release of the Earnest Money to the Terminating Party. If the Non-Terminating Party provides such an objection, then the Escrow Agent shall retain the Earnest Money until it receives written instructions executed by both Seller and Purchaser as to the disposition and disbursement of the Earnest Money, or until ordered by final court order, decree or judgment, which is not subject to appeal, to deliver the Earnest Money to a particular party, in which event the Earnest Money shall be delivered in accordance with such notice, instruction, order, decree or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Purchaser terminates this Agreement in accordance with Paragraph 2.6, the Escrow Agent shall immediately release the Earnest Money to Purchaser.
9.3 Interpleader. Seller and Purchaser mutually agree that in the event of any controversy regarding the Earnest Money, unless mutual written instructions are received by the Escrow Agent directing the Earnest Money’s disposition, the Escrow Agent shall not take any action, but instead shall await the disposition of any proceeding relating to the Earnest Money or, at the Escrow Agent’s option, the Escrow Agent may interplead all parties and deposit the Earnest Money with a court of competent jurisdiction in which event the Escrow Agent may recover all of its court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Seller or Purchaser, whichever loses in any such interpleader action, shall be solely obligated to pay such costs and fees of the Escrow Agent, as well as the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.
9.4 Liability of Escrow Agent. The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any loss, cost or expense incurred by Seller or Purchaser resulting from the Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting the Escrow Agent’s scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent.

notice shall be deemed delivered upon receipt. Any notice sent by electronic mail or personal delivery and delivered after 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) shall be deemed received on the next business day. A party’s address may be changed by written notice to the other party; provided, however, that no notice of a change of address shall be effective until actual receipt of such notice. Copies of notices are for informational purposes only, and a failure to give or receive copies of any notice shall not be deemed a failure to give notice.
10.12 Construction. The parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction — to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party — shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto.
10.13 Calculation of Time Periods. Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included at, unless such last day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for national banks in the location where the Property is located, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. The last day of any period of time described herein shall be deemed to end at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time).
10.14 Procedure for Indemnity. The following provisions govern actions for indemnity under this Agreement. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim, such indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnitor, deliver to the indemnitor written notice thereof and the indemnitor shall have the right to participate in and, if the indemnitor agrees in writing that it will be responsible for any costs, expenses, judgments, damages, and losses incurred by the indemnitee with respect to such claim, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitor, if the indemnitee reasonably believes that representation of such indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure of indemnitee to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall relieve such indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee under this indemnity only if and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, and the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnitor will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnitee other than under this indemnity. If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, then the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to such claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld such consent.
10.15 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall constitute one Agreement. To facilitate execution of this Agreement, the parties may execute and exchange by PDF counterparts of the signature pages.
10.16 Section 1031 Exchange. Seller may consummate the purchase of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to § 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provided that: (i) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of the Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to Seller’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) Seller shall effect the Exchange through an assignment of its rights under this Agreement to a qualified intermediary; and (iii) Purchaser shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating the Exchange. Purchaser shall not by this agreement or acquiescence to the Exchange (1) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or (2) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to Seller that the Exchange in fact complies with § 1031 of the Code.
10.17 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
10.18 Radon Gas Notice. 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 the state of Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county health department.
10.19 Post-Closing Access to Records. Upon receipt by Seller of Purchaser’s reasonable written request at any time and from time to time within a period from the Closing until the later of 2 years after Closing to enable Purchaser to either (i) comply with any financial reporting requirements applicable to Purchaser or (ii) confirm or complete any tenant reconciliations
under the Leases, Seller shall, at Seller’s principal place of business, during Seller’s normal business hours, make all of Seller’s records relating to the Property available to Purchaser for inspection and copying (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense).
10.20 Information and Audit Cooperation. To the extent necessary to enable Purchaser to comply with any financial reporting requirements applicable to Purchaser and upon at least 3 Business Days prior written notice to Seller, within 90 days after the Closing Date, Seller shall reasonably cooperate (at no cost or liability to Seller) and allow Purchaser’s auditors to audit the trial balance related to the operation of the Property for the calendar year prior to the Closing Date and for the portion of the calendar year starting on January 1 through the Closing Date. Other than any representation, warranty or covenant otherwise set forth in this Agreement or the documents delivered at Closing, Seller makes no representations, warranties or covenants with respect to the trial balance or the books and records which may be reviewed in auditing the same, and Purchaser releases and waives any liability or claims against Seller related to the trial balance or the books and records which may be reviewed and audited.
