Camelback Road, Suite 300, Phoenix, Arizona 85016, Attention: Brandon Grajewski (“Escrow Agent”) not later than three (3) business days following the receipt by Escrow Agent of a fully-executed original of this Agreement (said receipt by Escrow Agent of both a fully-executed original of this Agreement and the Earnest Money Deposit, the “Opening of Escrow”), which Earnest Money Deposit is to be held by Escrow Agent until released to Seller or Buyer as provided herein or paid to Seller at close of escrow (“COE”);

(b)    forgiveness of all amounts due and payable pursuant to a loan, in the principal amount of Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($7,500,000.00) and with the other terms set forth on Exhibit G hereto, which Buyer hereby agrees to make or cause to be made to Seller immediately prior to COE, subject to all closing conditions set forth in Section 12 of this Agreement having been satisfied, in order to enable Seller to refinance its mortgage indebtedness on the Property (“Seller’s Mortgage”);

(d)    the remainder in additional cash, or other immediately available funds (expected to be Seven Million Eight Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($7,800,000.00), as may be increased or decreased by such sums as are required to take into account any additional deposits, prorations, credits, or other adjustments required by this Agreement), to be deposited in escrow with Escrow Agent on or before COE, which sum is to be held by Escrow Agent until cancellation of this Agreement as provided herein or paid to Seller at COE.

The Purchase Price is based on a capitalization rate of 7.10% and an Annual Net Rent (as hereinafter defined) of $1,100,000.00 per annum. If the Annual Net Rent on the date of COE is not the same, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted accordingly.

5.    DISPOSITION OF EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT. Seller and Buyer hereby instruct Escrow Agent to place the Earnest Money Deposit in a federally insured interest‑bearing

passbook account on behalf of Seller and Buyer. The Earnest Money Deposit shall be applied as follows:

(a)    if Buyer cancels this Agreement while not in default, as Buyer is so entitled to do as provided in this Agreement, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be paid immediately to Buyer;

(b)    if the Earnest Money Deposit is forfeited by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, such Earnest Money Deposit shall be paid to Seller as Seller’s agreed and total liquidated damages, it being acknowledged and agreed that it would be difficult or impossible to determine Seller’s exact damages; and

(c)    if escrow closes, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be credited to Buyer, automatically applied against the Purchase Price and paid to Seller at COE.

6.    PRELIMINARY TITLE REPORT AND OBJECTIONS. (a) Within ten (10) days after the Opening of Escrow, Escrow Agent shall deliver, at Buyer’s expense, a current Preliminary Title Report (the “Report”) for an ALTA extended coverage title insurance policy (the “Owner’s Policy”) on the Property to Buyer and Seller. The Report shall show the status of title to the Property as of the date of the Report and shall also describe the requirements of Escrow Agent for the issuance of the Owner’s Policy as described herein. The cost of the Owner’s Policy and any additional costs for an extended coverage policy or endorsements thereto (excluding, however, those endorsements required to cure one or more Objectionable Matters (as hereinafter defined), which endorsements shall be issued at Seller’s sole cost and expense), shall be paid by Buyer. In addition to the Report, Escrow Agent shall simultaneously deliver to Buyer legible copies of all documents identified in Part Two of Schedule B of the Report. In the event there are Objectionable Matters (as hereinafter defined), Seller shall have the option, at its election, of attempting to cure such matters in good faith (within the time limits permitted herein) in lieu of procuring and/or purchasing endorsements to the Owner’s Policy.

(b)    If Buyer is dissatisfied with any exception to title as shown in the Report and/or any matter disclosed by the Survey other than Permitted Exceptions as defined below (collectively, the “Objectionable Matters”), then Buyer may either, by giving written notice thereof to Escrow Agent and Seller (i) on or before expiration of the Study Period (as defined below) or (ii) ten (10) days from Buyer’s receipt of the Report, whichever is later, (A) cancel this Agreement, whereupon the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Buyer together with all documents deposited in escrow by Buyer, or (B) provisionally accept the title subject to Seller’s agreement, at its election, to cause the removal of or otherwise cure the Objectionable Matters, in which case Seller shall (at its sole cost) remove or otherwise cure the Objectionable Matters before COE, unless extended under Section 6(d)(ii) below. Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) days after receiving Buyer’s written notice of disapproval or objection, if Seller does not intend to remove (or cause the Escrow Agent to endorse over, to Buyer’s satisfaction) or otherwise cure any such Objectionable Matters. Seller shall not have any obligation to cure any Objectionable Matters or expend any sums in connection therewith, and Seller’s lack of response shall be deemed as Seller’s refusal to remove or otherwise cure the Objectionable Matters prior to COE. If written notice of dissatisfaction is not timely given by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Section 6, then Buyer shall

be deemed to have approved of the condition of the title of the Property as shown by the Report, and shall have elected to continue and ratify this Agreement, whereupon the Earnest Money Deposit shall thereafter be non-refundable to Buyer, except as set forth in 6(c) or for Seller default. As used herein, the term “Objectionable Matters” shall automatically include any monetary lien or judgment affecting the Property incurred through Seller (irrespective of whether written objection is tendered), but shall not include the Permitted Exceptions. As used in this Agreement “Permitted Exceptions” shall include the following matters: (i) the lien of ad valorem taxes and special assessments not yet due and payable; (ii) outstanding mineral rights and reservations that may appear of record; and (iii) any matter revealed by the Report and Survey that are not objected to by Buyer within the time frames permitted herein for the making of such objections.

(c)    In the event the Report is amended to include new exceptions that are not set forth in a prior Report, Buyer shall have until the later of (i) the expiration of the Study Period, or (ii) the date that is five (5) business days after Buyer’s receipt of the amended Report and copies of the documents identified in the new exceptions or new requirements, within which to cancel this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit or to provisionally accept the title subject to Seller’s agreement to cause the removal of or otherwise cure the Objectionable Matters. Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) days after receiving Buyer’s written notice of disapproval or objection, if Seller does not intend to remove (or cause the Escrow Agent to endorse over, to Buyer’s satisfaction) or otherwise cure any such Objectionable Matters. Seller’s lack of response shall be deemed as Seller’s refusal to remove or otherwise cure the Objectionable Matters prior to COE. For the sake of clarification and the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6(c) apply only to new matters or exceptions first appearing or delivered after the provision of the initial Report and shall not be deemed or construed to extend the time period for Buyer to object to any matters that were originally set forth in (or delivered in connection with) the original Report and Survey.

(d)    (i) If Seller serves notice (or is deemed to give such notice) to Buyer that Seller does not intend to remove or otherwise cure the Objectionable Matters before COE, Buyer shall, within ten (10) days thereafter, notify Seller and Escrow Agent in writing of Buyer’s election to either (A) terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and all other obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, or (B) Buyer may waive such Objectionable Matters and the transaction shall close as scheduled.

(ii) If Seller agrees to remove or otherwise cure the Objectionable Matters, but fails or is unable to do so despite commercially reasonable, good faith efforts by the scheduled COE date, then: (A) Seller and Buyer may mutually agree, in writing, to extend the COE date (the “Extended COE Date”) for a mutually agreeable and reasonable time frame (not to exceed thirty (30) days unless otherwise agreed in writing) in order to allow Seller additional time to complete such cure and/or removal; (B) Buyer may terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, as its sole remedy, and all other obligations under this Agreement shall terminate; or (C) Buyer may waive such Objectionable Matters whereupon the transaction shall close five (5) business days after Buyer notifies Seller of such election. In the event that Seller and Buyer agree to exercise the extension described in (A) above, and Seller is not able to cure the defects by the Extended COE Date, then Seller shall not be in default, but Buyer shall have

the right to terminate this Agreement and immediately receive a full refund of the Earnest Money Deposit or again have the right, at its election to waive such Objectionable Matters and proceed to closing within five (5) business days.

If written notice of Buyer’s election is not timely given by Buyer pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement as set forth in such sentence.

7.    BUYER’S STUDY PERIOD.

(a)    The Study Period. Buyer shall have until 11:59 p.m. MST on the thirtieth (30^th) day after the Effective Date (the “Study Period”), at Buyer’s sole cost, within which to conduct and approve any investigations, studies or tests deemed necessary by Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion, to determine the feasibility of acquiring the Property, including, without limitation, Buyer’s right to: (i) review and approve the Survey, the Lease, Seller’s operating statements with respect to the Property, and the Contracts; (ii) meet and confer with Tenant (subject to the notice requirement set forth in Section 7(b) below); and, (iii) obtain, review and approve an environmental study of the Real Property and Building, all of the foregoing at Buyer’s expense (collectively, “Buyer’s Diligence”).

  

(b)    Right of Entry. Subject to the prior rights of the Tenant in the Property, Seller hereby grants to Buyer and Buyer’s agents, employees and contractors the right to enter upon the Property, at any time or times prior to COE, to conduct Buyer’s Diligence, provided that Buyer shall provide to Seller a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice of any such entrance (in which event Seller shall notify Tenant within the same 24 hour period). In consideration therefor, Buyer shall and does hereby agree to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims for expenses, costs, losses, liabilities and/or damages asserted against Seller, including, but not limited to, court costs and attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred by Seller as a direct result of Buyer’s Diligence. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption of Tenant’s business operations at the Property throughout the duration of Buyer’s entrance upon the Property. Buyer’s indemnity and hold harmless obligation shall survive cancellation of this Agreement or COE. Buyer agrees to provide Seller with a copy of an insurance certificate evidencing its liability insurance coverage prior to entry onto the Property and to pay for all work, labor and services obtained by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s Diligence. Buyer shall promptly repair or restore any damage to the Property resulting from any physical testing by Buyer. Buyer’s access and inspection rights under this Section 7(b) through the date of COE shall not be deemed or construed to extend the Study Period or the time period for which Buyer may receive a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit.

(c)    Cancellation. Unless Buyer so notifies Seller or Escrow Agent, in writing, on or before the end of the Study Period of Buyer’s acceptance of Buyer’s Diligence and waiver of the contingencies as set forth in this Section 7, this Agreement shall be automatically canceled and the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned immediately to Buyer and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither of the Parties shall have any further liability or obligation under this Agreement.

(d)    Tenant Right of First Refusal or Right of First Offer. Seller agrees and confirms that it has complied with its obligations related to Tenant’s right of first offer (“ROFO”) under Section 4 of the Lease Amendment and that Seller shall obtain from Tenant and provide to Buyer at least two (2) business days prior to the expiration of the Study Period, written evidence reasonably acceptable to Buyer of Tenant’s waiver of the ROFO. In the event Seller fails to obtain and provide to Buyer such waiver, and Buyer terminates this Agreement as a result thereof, Seller shall not be in default, but shall promptly reimburse to Buyer all reasonable out-of-pocket and third-party property diligence expenses incurred by Buyer, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (not to exceed $25,000.00 in the aggregate).

8.    DELIVERY OF SELLER’S DILIGENCE MATERIALS.

(a)    Deliveries to Buyer. Subject to the provisions of 8(c), Seller agrees to deliver to Buyer within five (5) business days after the Effective Date all information in Seller’s possession or control relating to the leasing, operating, maintenance, construction (including the Certificate of Occupancy for the Property), repair, zoning (including any zoning verification letters), platting, engineering, soil tests, water tests, environmental tests, market studies, master planning, architectural drawings and like matters regarding the Property and/or the Tenant (collectively, “Seller’s Diligence Materials”), all at no cost to Buyer. The foregoing deliveries shall include, but not be limited to, copies of all: (i) books of account and records for the Property for the last twenty-four (24) months; (ii) the Lease, including all amendments thereto, guaranties thereof and assignments thereof and, to the extent the landlord is obligated to deliver such a policy to Tenant under the Lease, a copy of the leasehold title insurance policy; (iii) a detailed listing of all capital expenditures by Seller on the Property for the last thirty-six (36) months; (iv) the maintenance history of the Property for the last twenty-four (24) months; (v) current maintenance, management, and listing contracts for the Property including any amendments thereto; (vi) all claims or suits by Tenant or third parties involving the Property or the Lease or any Contracts (whether or not covered by insurance); (vii) a list of all claims or suits by or against Seller regarding the Property for the last thirty-six (36) months; (viii) any appraisals of the Property; (ix) the site plan with respect to, and a current survey of, the Property; (x) copies of all Contracts, Warranties and Permits; and (xi) any other documents or other information in the possession of Seller or its agents pertaining to the Property. Should Seller receive new or updated information regarding any of the matters set forth in this Section 8(a) after the Effective Date and prior to COE, Seller will immediately notify Buyer of such fact and will promptly deliver complete copies thereof to Buyer. Seller’s Diligence Materials are being provided on an “as is” basis for Buyer’s informational and evaluation purposes only, and Seller is not making any representations or warranties as to the accuracy of the information contained in the Due Diligence Materials except as set forth herein.

(b)    Confidentiality of Materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer, for itself, its agents, consultants and advisors, agrees (i) to keep all studies, reports, test results and other information concerning the Property furnished to or obtained by Buyer in connection with this Agreement (collectively, the “Confidential Information”) confidential and not to disclose or reveal any such Confidential Information to any person other than Buyer’s representatives (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants and brokers), lenders and prospective lenders

who are actively and directly participating in the evaluation of the Property or who otherwise need to know the information for purposes of evaluating the Property; and (ii) not to use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than in connection with Buyer’s or its representative’s evaluation of the Property, and or the evaluation of the Property by Buyer’s lenders or prospective lenders; provided, however, the foregoing restrictions shall not prohibit a disclosure of the Confidential Information which is required by law, or in connection with any litigation or other proceeding pertaining to the Property and which either Seller or Buyer is a Party, or in connection with Buyer’s regular and established reporting activities with state and/or federal regulatory agencies (“Authorized Purposes”). Buyer shall use the same duty of care with respect to safeguarding the Confidential Information as Buyer uses with respect to its own confidential information of a similar type and nature. The Confidential Information shall not include any information that was, is, or becomes available to the public through means other than disclosure by Buyer. The provisions of this Section 8(b) shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year, provided that the provisions of this Section 8(b) shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon, from and after COE.

(c)    Delivery and Return by Buyer. Upon termination of this Agreement by Buyer as permitted under Section 7(a), Buyer shall promptly return all of Seller’s Diligence Materials; provided, however, Buyer will be entitled to retain one copy (the “Archived Copy”) of the Seller’s Diligence Materials for the Authorized Purposes, and Buyer will not be obligated to erase the Archived Copy provided that is stored in an secure computer system made in accordance with its security and/or disaster recovery procedures on the understanding that any such Archived Copy shall remain subject to the continued application of the provisions of this Agreement. Further, if this Agreement is canceled for any reason, Buyer agrees to deliver to Seller upon payment by Seller to Buyer of Buyer’s cost thereof, copies of those investigations, studies and/or tests which Buyer may have elected to obtain. If this Agreement is terminated due to Seller’s default, Seller shall pay to Buyer its reasonable and documented costs of such investigations, studies and tests as set forth in Section 20(a) below.

9.    THE SURVEY. Promptly after the Opening of Escrow, Buyer, at its expense, shall cause a surveyor licensed in the State of North Carolina to complete and deliver to Escrow Agent and Buyer a current, certified ALTA As-Built survey of the Real Property, Building and Improvements (the “Survey”). The Survey shall set forth the legal description and boundaries of the Property and all easements, encroachments and improvements thereon. To the extent the Survey description differs from the current record description, Buyer shall obtain assurances to its satisfaction that such Survey description can be insured prior to the expiration of the Study Period, and Seller shall only be obligated to warrant its current, record description in the Deed.

10.    IRS SECTION 1445. Seller shall furnish to Buyer in escrow by COE a sworn affidavit (the “Non-Foreign Affidavit”) stating under penalty of perjury that Seller is not a “foreign person” as such term is defined in Section 1445(f)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”). If Seller does not timely furnish the Non-Foreign Affidavit, Buyer may withhold (or direct Escrow Agent to withhold) from the Purchase Price, an amount equal to the amount required to be so withheld pursuant to Section 1445(a) of the Tax Code, and such withheld funds shall be deposited with the Internal Revenue Service as required by such Section 1445(a) and

the regulations promulgated thereunder. The amount withheld, if any, shall nevertheless be deemed to be part of the Purchase Price paid to Seller.

11.    DELIVERY OF POSSESSION. Seller shall deliver possession of the Property to Buyer at COE subject only to the rights of Tenant under the Lease as approved by Buyer as part of Buyer’s Diligence.

12.    BUYER’S CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. In addition to all other conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement, Buyer’s obligations to perform under this Agreement and to close escrow are expressly subject to the following:

Suit must be filed on a written claim hereunder within two (2) months after the expiration of the Survival Period (the “Claim Deadline”), and such suit must be diligently prosecuted thereafter, and such claim shall be deemed waived if it is not filed within the Claim Deadline or is not diligently prosecuted thereafter.

        

The Parties specifically agree that the Property being conveyed hereunder is being sold in “as is, where is” condition, without any warranty, express or implied (excepting only such representations and warranties of Seller as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the Transfer Documents, as applicable). The parties further agree that: (i) Buyer will have made prior to Closing any such inspections and investigations as it deems appropriate regarding the Property, the Assigned Contracts, the Improvements, the Permits, the Lease, the Tenant and any and all other matters which are material to Buyer's decision to purchase the Property; and (ii) Buyer is entering into this Agreement and will be purchasing the Property based solely on the investigations, examinations, business judgment and expertise of Buyer and Buyer’s consultants and contractors, and not, except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement or in the Transfer Documents, upon any alleged representations or warranties of Seller (or of any alleged agent of Seller) nor upon the completeness of any documents or disclosures made or provided by Seller (or any alleged agent of Seller) in respect of the Property, or any matter related to the Property.

(i)    Buyer has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform under this Agreement as well as under the Transfer Documents;

(ii)    there are no actions or proceedings pending or to Buyer’s knowledge, threatened against Buyer which may in any manner whatsoever affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the documents; and

(b)    Further, Buyer hereby covenants to Seller as of the Effective Date that:

(i)    should Buyer receive notice or knowledge of any information regarding any of the matters set forth in this Section 14 after the Effective Date and prior to COE, Buyer will promptly notify Seller of the same in writing.

All representations, warranties and covenants made in this Agreement by Buyer shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and COE for the duration of the Survival Period (as defined above). In the event a written claim is made within the Survival Period, the Survival Period shall not toll with respect to such claim while such claim is outstanding, subject to the next sentence. Suit must be filed on a written claim hereunder within two (2) months after the expiration of the Survival Period, and such suit must be diligently prosecuted thereafter, and such claim shall be deemed waived if it is not filed within said two (2) month period or is not diligently prosecuted. Buyer shall and does hereby indemnify against and hold Seller harmless from any loss, damage, liability and expense, together with all court costs and attorneys’ fees, if awarded by a court of law, which Seller may incur, by reason of any material misrepresentation by Buyer or any material breach of any of Buyer’s warranties or covenants. Buyer’s indemnity and hold harmless obligations under this Section shall survive COE provided notice of claim is given during the Survival Period, and a Claim thereon is filed prior to the Claim Deadline.

15.    RENTS AND DEPOSITS. Seller and Buyer agree that, in addition to all other conditions and covenants contained herein, Seller shall deliver to Buyer and Escrow Agent not later than the day immediately prior to COE information, certified by Seller to be true and accurate as of the date thereof and as of the date of COE, with respect to (i) the amount of Tenant’s security deposit under the Lease, if any, and (ii) prepaid and/or abated rents, including, without limitation, the amount thereof and the date to which such rents have been paid.

16.    BROKER’S COMMISSION. Concerning any brokerage commission, the Parties agree as follows:

(a)    the Parties warrant to one another that they have not dealt with any finder, broker or realtor in connection with this Agreement except Jesse Shannon of Branch Properties, LLC (“Broker”);

(b)    if any person shall assert a claim to a finder’s fee or brokerage commission on account of alleged employment as a finder or broker in connection with this Agreement (including Broker), the Party under whom the finder or broker is claiming shall indemnify and hold the other Party harmless from and against any such claim and all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with such claim or any action or proceeding brought on such claim, including, but not

limited to, counsel and witness fees and court costs in defending against such claim. The provisions of this subsection shall survive cancellation of this Agreement or COE; and

(c)     Seller shall be responsible for payment of a commission to Broker pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Broker, which commission shall be paid at COE.

(d)    Seller represents and warrants that it has paid in full the brokerage commission payable in connection with the Lease Amendment, and hereby agrees to hold Buyer harmless from and against any claim by any third party for a commission in connection with such transaction, including all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with such claim or any action or proceeding brought on such claim, including, but not limited to, counsel and witness fees and court costs in defending against such claim. The provisions of this subsection shall survive cancellation of this Agreement or the COE.

17.    CLOSE OF ESCROW. COE shall be on or before 5:00 p.m. MST on the tenth (10^th) day after the expiration of the Study Period or such earlier date as Buyer may choose by giving not less than five (5) days prior written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent (the “Closing Date”).

18.    ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement may not be assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement to an affiliate of Buyer without seeking or obtaining Seller’s consent. Such assignment shall not become effective until the assignee executes an instrument whereby such assignee expressly assumes each of the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement. Buyer may also designate someone other than Buyer, as grantee and/or assignee, under the Transfer Documents by providing written notice of such designation at least five (5) days prior to COE. No assignment shall release or otherwise relieve Buyer from any obligations hereunder; provided, however, with respect to any assignment, if COE occurs the assigning party (but not the assignee) shall be relieved of all its obligations arising under this Agreement before, on and after COE.

19.    RISK OF LOSS. Seller shall bear all risk of loss resulting from or related to damage of or to the Property or any part thereof which may occur prior to COE, unless such loss is caused by the negligent acts and omissions of Buyer, its agents, consultants, contractors or designees through entry and inspection of the Property as part of Buyer’s due diligence (in which event the indemnity obligations of Section 7(b) shall apply). Seller shall also bear all risk of loss resulting from or related to a taking or condemnation of the Property or any part thereof with respect to which written notice of a proposed condemnation or taking is received, a condemnation proceeding is commenced, a condemnation proceeding is concluded or all or any part of the Property is conveyed in lieu of condemnation prior to COE (any such damage, taking or condemnation event a “Risk of Loss Event”). In the event of any Risk of Loss Event prior to COE, Buyer may, at Buyer’s sole option, by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, cancel this Agreement whereupon the Earnest Money Deposit shall be paid immediately by Escrow Agent to Buyer and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither of the Parties shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder. In the alternative, Buyer may attempt to negotiate an appropriate downward adjustment of the Purchase Price. If Seller and Buyer cannot agree upon such a downward adjustment within a reasonable period (not to exceed ten (10) days from the date Buyer receives notice of the loss) Buyer may

cancel this Agreement as provided above. In the event of any Risk of Loss Event which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, Seller shall at COE and as a condition precedent thereto, pay Buyer or credit Buyer against the Purchase Price the amount of any insurance or condemnation proceeds, or assign to Buyer, as of COE and in a form acceptable to Buyer, all rights or claims for relief to the same, and credit to Buyer an amount equal to the deductible (if any) under the insurance policy.

20.    REMEDIES.

(a)    Seller’s Breach. If Seller breaches this Agreement, including, without limitation, a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller set forth herein and/or the failure of Seller to satisfy any conditions precedent to COE specified in Section 12 above that are within Seller’s control, Buyer may, at Buyer’s sole option, either: (i) by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, cancel this Agreement whereupon the Earnest Money Deposit shall be paid immediately by Escrow Agent to Buyer, Seller shall promptly reimburse to Buyer its reasonable, documented out-of-pocket and third-party property diligence expenses (not to exceed $75,000) and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither of the Parties shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder; or (ii) extend the date scheduled for COE for such reasonable period of time as may be required to permit Seller to cure or remedy such breach (provided such period of time shall not exceed thirty (30) days unless such greater period of time is agreed to in writing by Seller); or (iii) seek specific performance against Seller in which event COE shall be automatically extended as necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if specific performance is unavailable as a remedy to Buyer because of Seller’s affirmative act or intentional omission, Buyer shall be entitled to pursue all rights and remedies available at law or in equity. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 20(a) shall not limit any rights or remedies Buyer may have against Seller after COE for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or default by Seller in any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Transfer Documents or any other documents to be entered into pursuant to this Agreement, which survive Closing (provided that, with respect to any breach of Section 13 above by Seller, such claims are made within the Survival Period).

(b)    Buyer’s Breach. If Buyer breaches this Agreement, including, without limitation, a breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer set forth herein, Seller, as its sole remedy Seller shall be entitled to retain the Earnest Money Deposit in accordance with subsection 5(b) as Seller’s agreed and total liquidated damages. Seller hereby waives any right to seek any equitable or legal remedies against Buyer; provided, that the foregoing, shall not limit or prescribe Seller’s right to seek damages and other relief in connection with Buyer’s indemnity obligations to Seller, including, without limitation, those indemnity obligations that survive termination of and/or closing under this Agreement (provided that, with respect to any breach of Section 14 above by Buyer, such claims are made within the Survival Period).

21.    ATTORNEYS’ FEES. If there is any litigation to enforce any provisions or rights arising under this Agreement, the unsuccessful party in such litigation, as determined by the court, agrees to pay the successful party, as determined by the court, all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the successful party, such fees to be determined by the court. For purposes of this Section 21, a party will be considered to be the

“successful party” if (a) such party initiated the litigation and substantially obtained the relief which it sought (whether by judgment, voluntary agreement or action of the other party, trial, or alternative dispute resolution process), (b) such party did not initiate the litigation and either (i) received a judgment in its favor, or (ii) did not receive judgment in its favor, but the party receiving the judgment did not substantially obtain the relief which it sought, or (c) the other party to the litigation withdrew its claim or action without having substantially received the relief which it was seeking.

22.    NOTICES.

(a)    Addresses. Except as otherwise required by law, any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by personal delivery, or by deposit in the U.S. Mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the Parties at the addresses set forth below, or at such other address as a Party may designate in writing pursuant hereto, or telecopy (fax), or any express or overnight delivery service (e.g., Federal Express), delivery charges prepaid:

(b)     Effective Date of Notices. Notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date on which notice is delivered, if notice is given by personal delivery or telecopy, and on the date of deposit in the mail, if mailed or deposited with the overnight carrier, if used. Notice shall be deemed to have been received (i) on the date on which the notice is received, if notice is given by telecopy or personal delivery, (ii) on the first business day following deposit with an overnight carrier, if used, and (iii) on the second (2nd) day following deposit in the U.S. Mail, if notice is mailed. If escrow has opened, a copy of any notice given to a party shall also be given to Escrow Agent by regular U.S. Mail or by any other method provided for herein.

23.    CLOSING COSTS.

(a)    Closing Costs. Seller and Buyer agree to pay closing costs as indicated in this Agreement and in the escrow instructions attached hereto as Exhibit F, and by this reference incorporated herein (the “Escrow Instructions”). At COE, Seller shall pay (i) the costs of releasing all liens, judgments, and other encumbrances that are to be released and of recording such releases (unless incurred as a result of Buyer’s access, investigations and studies on or about the Property), (ii) one-half the fees and costs due Escrow Agent for its services, (iii) the transfer tax or excise tax associated with the sale of the Property, if any; and (iv) all other costs to be paid by Seller under this Agreement. At COE, Buyer shall pay (i) one-half the fees and costs due Escrow Agent for its services, (ii) the cost of the Survey, (iii) the cost of the Report and the premiums for the title policies and endorsements requested by Buyer and its lender, if applicable; and (iv) all other costs to be paid by Buyer under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Seller and Buyer will each be solely responsible for and bear all of their own respective expenses, including, without limitation, expenses of legal counsel, accountants, and other advisors incurred at any time in connection with pursuing or consummating the transaction contemplated herein. Real estate taxes shall be prorated based upon the current valuation and latest available tax rates, unless Tenant is responsible for all such taxes in accordance with the provisions of the Lease. All prorations shall be calculated through escrow as of COE based upon the latest available information, including, without limitation, a credit to Buyer for any rent prepaid by Tenant for the period beginning with

and including the date on which the closing occurs through and including the last day of the month in which the closing occurs. All other credits and debits (e.g. in the event of prepaid utilities or expenses, if any, paid by Seller as landlord under the Lease) to Buyer shall be similarly prorated. If COE is on or after the 20^th day of the calendar month in which COE occurs, the monthly base rent due to Buyer under the terms of the Lease for the full calendar month of the month following the day on which COE occurs (the “Initial Rent”) shall be credited to Buyer at COE (and, in such event, Tenant shall pay the Initial Rent to Seller and, notwithstanding the terms of the Lease, shall not be obligated to make a payment for the Initial Rent to Buyer). Any other closing costs not specifically designated as the responsibility of either Party in the Escrow Instructions or in this Agreement shall be paid by Seller and Buyer according to the usual and customary allocation of the same by Escrow Agent. Seller agrees that all closing costs payable by Seller shall be deducted from Seller’s proceeds otherwise payable to Seller at COE. Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Agent sufficient cash to pay all of Buyer’s closing costs. Except as provided in this Section 23(a), Seller and Buyer shall each bear their own costs in regard to this Agreement.

(b)    Post-Closing Adjustment. If after COE, the parties discover any errors in adjustments and apportionments or additional information becomes available which would render the closing prorations inaccurate, the same shall be corrected as soon after their discovery as possible. The provision of this Section 23(b) shall survive COE except that no adjustment shall be made later than twelve (12) months after COE unless prior to such date the Party seeking the adjustment shall have delivered a written notice to the other Party specifying the nature and basis for such claim; provided, however, in the event an adjustment is sought due to the fact that current tax bills with respect to the Property had not yet been issued as of COE, the provisions of this Section 23(b) shall survive with respect to any closing proration of real property taxes until thirty (30) days after Buyer’s receipt of tax bills for the period of time during which COE occurred. In the event that such claim is valid, the Party against whom the claim is sought shall have ten (10) days in which to remit any adjustment due.

(c)    Instructions. This Agreement, together with the Escrow Instructions, shall constitute escrow instructions for the transaction contemplated herein. Such escrow instructions shall be construed as applying principally to Escrow Agent’s employment.

24.    TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE. Buyer is hereby advised that the Lease Amendment (a true and correct copy of which will be provided to Buyer as part of Seller’s Diligence Materials, to the extent not previously provided) provides for a “Tenant Improvement Allowance” of Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) ($20.00 per square foot based on 100,000 rentable square feet) to be made available to Tenant on or before April 1, 2015. At Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the total Tenant Improvement Allowance still outstanding, which is anticipated to be One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00). At COE, Buyer shall assume all obligations under the Lease, as amended, arising from and after COE including, without limitation, the obligation to pay and/or reimburse to Tenant the undisbursed portion of Tenant Improvement Allowance, which is credited to Buyer at COE. Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller from any claims by Tenant relating to Seller’s failure to pay and/or reimburse the undisbursed portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance from and after COE.

25.    ESCROW CANCELLATION CHARGES. If escrow fails to close because of Seller’s default, Seller shall be liable for any cancellation charges of Escrow Agent. If escrow fails to close because of Buyer’s default, Buyer shall be liable for any cancellation charges of Escrow Agent. If escrow fails to close for any other reason, Seller and Buyer shall each be liable for one‑half of any cancellation charges of Escrow Agent. The provisions of this Section shall survive cancellation of this Agreement.

26.    APPROVALS. Concerning all matters in this Agreement requiring the consent or approval of any Party, the Parties agree that any such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld unless otherwise provided in this Agreement.

27.    RELEASES. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Seller and anyone claiming through Seller hereby releases Tenant from any and all claims of whatever kind or nature, in law or equity, whether now known or unknown to Seller, whether contingent or matured, that Seller may now have or hereafter acquire against Tenant for any costs, loss, liability, damage, expenses, demand, action or cause of action arising from or related to the Lease arising from events occurring prior to COE.

28.    ADDITIONAL ACTS. The Parties agree to execute promptly such other documents and to perform such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement.

29.    GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed or enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina.

30.    CONSTRUCTION.

Consequently, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with their usual and customary meanings, and the Parties each hereby waive the application of any rule of law which would otherwise be applicable in connection with the interpretation and construction of this Agreement that ambiguous or conflicting terms or provisions contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against the Party whose attorney prepared the executed Agreement or any earlier draft of the same.

31.    TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. However, if this Agreement requires any act to be done or action to be taken on a date which is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, such act or action shall be deemed to have been validly done or taken if done or taken on the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, and the successive periods shall be deemed extended accordingly.

32.    INTERPRETATION. If there is any specific and direct conflict between, or any ambiguity resulting from, the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any document, instrument or other agreement executed in connection herewith or in furtherance

hereof, including any Exhibits hereto, the same shall be consistently interpreted in such manner as to give effect to the general purposes and intention as expressed in this Agreement which shall be deemed to prevail and control.

33.    HEADINGS. The headings of this Agreement are for reference only and shall not limit or define the meaning of any provision of this Agreement.

34.    FAX AND COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and/or in any number of counterparts. Each party may rely upon any facsimile or counterpart copy as if it were one original document.

35.    INCORPORATION OF EXHIBITS BY REFERENCE. All Exhibits to this Agreement are fully incorporated herein as though set forth at length herein.

36.    SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be kept in effect.

37.    ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior agreements, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as a whole and not strictly for or against any Party.

38.    INDEMNITY.     Seller shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Buyer, Buyer’s affiliates, the partners, trustees, shareholders, directors, officers, attorneys, employees and agents of each of them, and their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from any and all demands, claims (including, without limitation, causes of action in tort), legal or administrative proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs), whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen (collectively, “Claims”) that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with any actions, suits, proceedings or claims brought by third parties against Buyer (a) relating to any actual or alleged events, acts or omissions occurring with respect to the Property prior to COE, and/or (b) with respect to which the claimed loss, damage or injury occurred prior to COE. Buyer shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller, Seller’s affiliates, the partners, trustees, shareholders, directors, officers, attorneys, employees and agents of each of them, and their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns from any and all Claims that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with any actions, suits, proceedings or claims brought by third parties against Seller (y) relating to any actual or alleged events, acts or omissions occurring with respect to the Property from and after COE, and/or (z) with respect to which the claimed loss, damage or injury occurred from and after COE. The provisions of this Section shall survive COE provided that written notice of a claim is made within the Survival Period and a formal Claim thereon is filed prior to the Claim Deadline.

39.    SPECIAL INDEMNITY.     Seller and Buyer agree and acknowledge that at Seller’s request and pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof Buyer has agreed to make or cause to be made

to Seller a loan to enable Seller to refinance a mortgage on the Property immediately prior to COE (the “Refinance Transaction”), and that in connection therewith Seller hereby agrees to (i) make Buyer whole for any reasonable, documented costs that Buyer would not have incurred under this Agreement, but for the Refinance Transaction, including any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer such as legal fees and recording fees and income or other taxes payable as a result of the Refinance Transaction and/or making of a mortgage loan to Seller, and (ii) indemnify, hold harmless and defend Buyer and other Indemnified Parties from all Claims that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with the Refinance Transaction, including any Claim by the holder of Seller’s Mortgage for additional consideration payable as a result of the prepayment of such debt (Seller’s obligations under items (i) and (ii) of this Section 39, collectively referred to as the “Special Indemnity”). The provisions of this Section shall survive COE until the expiration of the applicable statutory period of limitations. Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants that Seller’s net worth is, and at all times while the provisions of this Section shall be in effect, shall be not less than $1,000,000.00.

40.    PRIVILEGE TAXES. Seller represents, warrants and covenants to Buyer that all state and local transaction privilege, sales, excise, use or similar taxes relating to the development, sale or rental of the Property (including, without limitation any speculative builder tax, owner-builder tax, or construction contractor tax) have been paid and Seller shall pay any such taxes that may arise as a result of the sale of the Property to Buyer as and when due.
