(c)All of Seller’s interest, as landlord, in the “Leases,” being all leases of the Improvements and any and all guaranties of the Leases, and all leases which may be made by Seller after the date hereof and before Closing as permitted by this Agreement, including all amendments thereto.

(d)All of Seller’s right, title and interest, if any, in and to all of the following items, to the extent assignable and without warranty (the “Intangible Personal Property”): (A) licenses, and permits relating to the operation of the Property, and (B) if still in effect and at Seller’s cost, guaranties and warranties received by Seller from any contractor, manufacturer or other person in connection with the construction or operation of the Property. Pursuant to the Assignment (defined in Section 5.3(b)), Seller shall assign, on a non-exclusive basis, the remaining portion of the one-year general contractor’s warranty from MV Commercial Construction LLC, as well as the warranties specifically identified in Section 7 of Addendum 5 of the Lease, to Buyer at Closing, and to the extent any such warranties require the approval of the warrantor as a condition to the effectiveness of such assignment, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approval(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following are excluded from the definition of Intangible Personal Property under this Agreement: any trade names, trademark, service marks, logos, graphics and other rights with respect to the name “ProLogis”, “Prologis” and/or “AMB”.

1.3Earnest Money. The Initial Deposit, in immediately available federal funds, evidencing Buyer’s good faith to perform Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement, shall be deposited by Buyer with the Escrow Agent not later than the third (3rd) business day after the Effective Date. The Additional Deposit shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent on or before expiration of the Due Diligence Period if Buyer does not terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 2.3 below. In the event that Buyer fails to timely deposit either the Initial Deposit or the Additional Deposit with the Escrow Agent, Seller may terminate this Agreement whereupon this Agreement shall be of no force and effect, the Escrow Agent shall refund the Earnest Money to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or liabilities hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 10.2 of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be non-refundable to Buyer. The Escrow Agent shall pay the Earnest Money to Seller at and upon the Closing, or otherwise, to the party entitled to receive the Earnest Money in accordance with Article 9 below.

1.4    Independent Contract Consideration. The sum of $100.00 (the “Independent Contract Consideration”) is a non-refundable portion of the Earnest Money as consideration for Buyer’s exclusive right to inspect and purchase the Property pursuant to this Agreement and for Seller’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to Buyer receiving back the Earnest Money means the Title Company shall return the Earnest Money (less the non-refundable Independent Contract Consideration) to Buyer and deliver the Independent Contract Consideration to Seller.

2.2    Inspections.

(a)During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer, its employees, contractors, consultants and agents (collectively, “Buyer’s Agents”) shall have the right to enter upon the Property for the purpose of inspecting the Property. In connection with any such entry, Buyer (i) acknowledges that all entry is at Buyer’s sole risk, cost and expense and subject to the rights of Tenant under the Lease, (ii) shall give Seller reasonable advance notice of such entry or any discussions with the Tenant and shall conduct such entry and any inspections or discussions with the Tenant in connection therewith so as to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, interference with Seller’s business and the business of Seller’s Tenant and otherwise in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller, and (iii) Seller or its representatives shall have the right to accompany Buyer and Buyer’s Agents or participate in any discussions with the Tenant or any testing or other inspection performed on the Property. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to any entry to perform any on-site testing, Buyer shall give Seller written notice thereof, including the identity of the company or persons who will perform such testing and the proposed scope of the testing. Seller shall approve or disapprove the scope and methodology of such proposed testing within 3 business days after receipt of such notice, such approval may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Seller’s failure to provide such approval or disapproval notice shall be deemed disapproval. If Buyer or Buyer’s Agents take any sample from the Property in connection with any such approved testing, Buyer shall provide to Seller a portion of such sample being tested to allow Seller, if it so chooses, to perform its own testing.

(b)Buyer shall, or shall cause Buyer’s Agents to, maintain commercial general liability insurance, including broad form property damage, with limits of not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence


- 4 -




and $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate in form and substance adequate to insure against all liability of Buyer and/or Buyer’s Agents, arising out of any entry or inspections of the Property pursuant to the provisions hereof, and Buyer shall provide Seller with evidence of such insurance coverage before any such entry, including evidence that Seller is an additional insured on the commercial general liability policy. If any inspection or test disturbs the Property, Buyer will promptly restore the Property to the same condition as existed before the inspection or test. BUYER SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD SELLER, SELLER’S AFFILIATES, PARTNERS, MEMBERS, SHAREHOLDERS, INVESTMENT MANAGERS, TRUSTEES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS OF EACH OF THEM AND THEIR RESPECTIVE HEIRS, SUCCESSORS, PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES AND ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY, “SELLER PARTIES”) AND THE PROPERTY HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, CLAIMS, LIENS, COST OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY ENTRY ON THE PROPERTY BY BUYER OR BUYER’S AGENTS IN THE COURSE OF PERFORMING THE INSPECTIONS, TESTING OR INQUIRIES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGE TO THE PROPERTY OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES OR MATERIALS ONTO THE PROPERTY; PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITIES RESULTING FROM THE DISCOVERY OR PRESENCE OF PRE-EXISTING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ON THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE EXISTENCE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS PRIOR TO BUYER’S ENTRY OR FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY SELLER PARTY. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

2.3    Termination During Due Diligence Period. If Buyer determines, in its sole discretion, before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period that the Property is unacceptable for Buyer's purposes, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving to Seller notice of termination before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and returning the Property Information to Seller. Upon such deliveries, and provided Buyer is not in default hereunder, Seller shall authorize the Escrow Agent to refund the Earnest Money to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or liabilities hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 10.2 of this Agreement. Buyer’s obligation to return the Property Information and repair any damage to the Property caused by Buyer or Buyer’s Agents shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

2.4    Buyer’s Reliance on its Investigations and Release. The provisions of this Section 2.4 shall survive indefinitely the Closing, close of escrow and recordation of the Deed, and shall not be deemed merged into any of the Closing documents.

(a)Buyer acknowledges and agrees, by consummating the Closing, it will be deemed to have been given a full opportunity to inspect and investigate each and every aspect of the Property, either independently or through agents of Buyer’s choosing. AS A MATERIAL PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER AND BUYER AGREE THAT EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 7.1 BELOW (“SELLER’S WARRANTIES”), SELLER IS SELLING AND BUYER IS PURCHASING AND TAKING THE PROPERTY ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, WITH ANY AND ALL LATENT AND PATENT DEFECTS. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS SOLELY RELYING UPON ITS EXAMINATION OF THE PROPERTY AND, EXCEPT FOR SELLER’S WARRANTIES, IT IS NOT RELYING UPON ANY REPRESENTATION, STATEMENT OR OTHER ASSERTION OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, FROM SELLER, ITS AGENTS OR BROKERS AS TO ANY MATTER CONCERNING THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION: (I) THE QUALITY, NATURE, ADEQUACY AND PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS, FOUNDATION, ROOF, APPURTENANCES, ACCESS, PARKING

2.5    Service Contracts. On or prior to the last day of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer will advise Seller in writing of which Service Contracts it will assume. Buyer will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under those Service Contracts that Buyer has elected to assume; provided, however, that (i) to the extent that any such Service Contracts are part of portfolio agreements, they shall not be assignable, and (ii) to the extent that any Service Contracts are not terminable by Seller in the time frame between the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Closing, Buyer shall, at Closing, assume such Service Contracts.

2.6    Tenant Estoppel. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure and deliver to Buyer by the Closing Date an estoppel certificate for the Lease, from the Tenant and the guarantor, if any, consistent with the information in the Lease and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B or such form as may be required under the Lease. Seller shall request the estoppel certificate from Tenant within two (2) business days following the Effective Date. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing, either by the Closing Date or within 3 business days following Buyer’s receipt of the estoppel certificate (pdf copy via email), whichever is earlier, of Buyer’s disapproval of any materially adverse matter(s) contained therein as determined in Buyer’s reasonable business judgment, and the basis of such disapproval (“Buyer’s Disapproval Notice”). Seller shall have 10 business days from Seller’s receipt of the Buyer’s Disapproval Notice within which to cure such materially adverse matter(s), and the Closing Date shall be extended, at Seller’s option, to allow for up to the full 10-business day cure period. It shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to proceed with Closing and Buyer may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller on the Closing Date (as the same may be extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, if by the Closing Date Seller has not delivered an estoppel certificate for the Lease (the “Estoppel Requirement”). In the event of such termination, the Escrow Agent shall refund the Earnest Money to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or liabilities hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 10.2 of this Agreement.

2.7    Other Estoppels. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure and deliver to Buyer by the Closing Date an estoppel certificate for each reciprocal easement agreement or any covenants, conditions and restrictions (“CCRs”) affecting the Property. Seller shall request such estoppel certificates from Tenant within two (2) business days following Buyer’s request for same after receipt of the Title Commitment (defined below).

ARTICLE 3: TITLE AND SURVEY REVIEW

3.1    Delivery of Title Report. Within 5 days after the Effective Date, Seller shall cause to be delivered to Buyer or to provide Buyer and its designee access to a preliminary report or title commitment issued by the Title Company (the “Title Report”), covering the Real Property, together with copies of all documents referenced in the Title Report. Buyer, at its option and expense, may obtain a survey (the “Survey”) of the Property.

3.2    Title Review and Cure. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any title or survey objections (i) at least 3 business days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period with respect to items disclosed in the Title Report or the Survey, if any, and (ii) at or prior to Closing with respect to any items which: (1) are first raised by the Title Company following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and prior to Closing, (2) are not the result of Buyer’s acts, and (3) have a material adverse effect on the use or operation of the Property. Failure to timely provide such a notice of objections shall constitute an approval by Buyer of all matters disclosed in the Title Report and any matters that would have been disclosed by an accurate survey of the Property. Seller shall have no obligation to cure any title objections. Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, attempt to cure by the Closing Date any title objections noted by Buyer. If Seller elects not to cure any title objection (failure to make such election with regard to any title objection within 1 business day shall be deemed an election not to cure such title objection), or fails to cure any title objection it has elected to cure by the Closing Date, then Buyer shall either (x) terminate this Agreement by written notice


- 7 -




to Seller given on or before 2 business days after receipt of any notice or deemed notice from Seller that it elects not to cure any title objections, or, in the event Seller has elected to cure a title objection, but is unable to do so, the Closing Date, as applicable, the Escrow Agent shall refund the Earnest Money to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or liabilities hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 10.2 of this Agreement, or (y) waive such title objections, in which event the Closing shall occur and Buyer shall accept title to the Property subject to such title condition and without adjustment to Purchase Price. Failure to so terminate shall constitute waiver of title objections. Those items approved by Buyer or deemed approved by Buyer are hereinafter referred to as the “Permitted Exceptions.”

3.3    Title Policy. Delivery of title in accordance with the foregoing shall be evidenced by the willingness of the Title Company to issue, at Closing, an ALTA 2006 extended coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (in the event Buyer shall have promptly delivered to the Title Company an acceptable ALTA Survey of the Real Property) or an ALTA 2006 coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (in the event Buyer failed to promptly deliver an acceptable ALTA Survey of the Property) (as applicable, the “Title Policy”) , in the form prescribed by the applicable state where the Property is located, in the amount of the Purchase Price showing title to the Real Property vested in Buyer, subject to: (i) the Permitted Exceptions, (ii) non-delinquent liens for real estate taxes and assessments, (iii) any standard, preprinted conditions or exceptions to the Title Policy required by the Title Company, (iv) any exceptions to title which would be disclosed by an inspection and/or accurate survey of the Property, (v) interests of tenants in possession, and (vi) any exceptions or matters created by Buyer or Buyer’s Agents.

ARTICLE 4: OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS

4.1    Ongoing Operations, Insurance. 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; provided that Seller shall not be obligated to make any extraordinary repairs or make any capital improvements to the Property. Through the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain or cause to be maintained, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, Seller’s existing policy or policies of insurance insuring the Property.

4.2    New Contracts. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller will not, without the prior consent of Buyer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), enter into any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the Closing, except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause on 30-days’ notice.

4.3    Leasing Arrangements.  Seller may not enter into any new amendment, expansion, renewal, modification, termination or other similar agreement pertaining to the Lease (collectively, “New Lease Agreements”) without first obtaining Buyer’s approval; provided, however, that Buyer’s consent shall not be required if Seller is required to enter into the New Lease Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lease. Buyer shall be deemed to have consented to any New Lease Agreement if it has not notified Seller specifying with particularity the matters to which Buyer reasonably objects, within 3 days after its receipt of Seller’s written request for consent, together with a copy of the proposed New Lease Agreement.

4.4    Damage or Condemnation. If before the Closing the Property or any portion thereof shall be materially damaged, or the commencement of condemnation proceedings shall affect all or a material portion of the Property, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given within 10 days of Seller’s notice of the occurrence of the damage or taking. In the event of such termination, the Escrow Agent shall refund the Earnest Money to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or liabilities hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 10.2 of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section, the phrases “material damage” and “materially damaged” means (i) the estimated repair cost is greater than 5% of the Purchase Price, (ii) such damage or destruction will entitle Tenant to terminate the Lease or abate its rent in whole or in part and such abated rent is not entirely replaced with the proceeds of


- 8 -




a rent interruption or similar policy held by Seller or Buyer, (iii) the damage or destruction is not covered by Seller’s insurance or if such insurance is not for full replacement cost and Seller is not willing to provide a credit against the Purchase Price for the uncovered portion of the loss, or (iv) Buyer’s lender shall refuse to consummate the loan to Buyer, despite Buyer’s good faith efforts to proceed with the loan, as a result of such damage or destruction. For the purposes of this Section, condemnation proceedings shall be deemed to affect a material portion of the Property if (i) the condemnation proceedings eliminate any driveway or access points for the Property for which a replacement driveway or access point is unavailable, or which results in a taking of a portion of the building greater than 5% or a taking of the parking areas of the Property below legal requirements or requirements in the Lease, (ii) such condemnation proceedings will entitle Tenant to terminate the Lease or abate its rent in whole or in part and such abated rent is not entirely replaced with the proceeds of a rent interruption or similar policy held by Seller or Buyer, or (iii) Buyer’s lender shall refuse to consummate the loan to Buyer, despite Buyer’s good faith efforts to proceed with the loan, as a result of such condemnation proceedings. If the Closing Date is within the aforesaid 10-day period, then Closing shall be extended to the next business day following the end of said 10-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 (i) assign, transfer and set over to Buyer 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, or any insurance proceeds that may thereafter be made for such damage or destruction, (ii) give Buyer a credit at Closing for an amount equal to any condemnation awards or insurance proceeds collected by Seller as a result of any such condemnation or damage or destruction, and the amount of any insurance deductible under such policies (but in no event shall the amount of such credit to Buyer exceed the Purchase Price), and (iii) receive a credit at Closing for any sums expended by Seller toward the restoration or repair of the Property. In the event the amount of awards or proceeds subsequently received by Buyer exceeds the Purchase Price, then Buyer shall pay to Seller any such excess within 10 days after Buyer’s receipt of such awards or proceeds. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall survive indefinitely the Closing, close of escrow and recordation of the Deed, and shall not be deemed merged into any of the Closing documents.

ARTICLE 5: CLOSING

5.1    Closing and Escrow Instructions

(a)The consummation of the transaction contemplated herein (“Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date at the offices of the Escrow Agent. Closing shall occur and Buyer’s funds shall be received on or before 2:00 P.M. Pacific Time on the Closing Date.

(c)    There shall exist no actions, suits, arbitrations, claims, attachments, proceedings, assignments for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceedings, pending or threatened against the other party that would materially and adversely affect the other party’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

(d)    There shall exist no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding with respect to the other party before or by any court or administrative agency which seeks to restrain or prohibit, or to obtain damages or a discovery order with respect to, this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby; and

(e)As a condition precedent for Buyer’s benefit, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a written waiver by Tenant of any express right of first refusal or right of first offer which Tenant may have pursuant to the express terms of the Lease, if applicable. Seller agrees to request such written waiver, if applicable, within two (2) business days after the Effective Date.

So long as a party is not in default hereunder, if any condition to such party’s obligation to proceed with the Closing hereunder has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date, such party may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other party on or before the Closing Date, or elect to close, notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of such condition, in which event such party shall be deemed to have waived any such condition. In the event of a termination, the Escrow Agent shall refund the Earnest Money to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or liabilities hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 10.2 of this Agreement. If such party elects to close, notwithstanding the nonsatisfaction of such condition, there shall be no liability on the part of the other party for breaches of representations and warranties of which the party electing to close had knowledge as of the Closing.

- 11 -




income collected by Seller before Closing but applicable to any period of time after Closing. Uncollected rent and other income shall not be prorated. Any prepaid rents for the period following the Closing Date shall be paid over by Seller to Buyer. Buyer covenants and agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts after the Closing to collect and deliver to Seller all rents or other payments that were applicable to the period before Closing. Seller may pursue collection as to any delinquent rent or Expense Reimbursements (as hereinafter defined), provided that Seller shall have no right to terminate the Lease or Tenant’s occupancy under the Lease in connection therewith. All rents received by Buyer following the Closing shall be applied against the most recently accrued rent unless a tenant has specified in writing that such payment relates to a particular amount due to Seller.

(b)    Operating Costs. To the extent Seller, as landlord under the Leases, is currently collecting from Tenant under the Lease additional rent (collectively, “Expense Reimbursements”) to cover taxes, insurance, utilities (to the extent not paid directly by Tenant), common area maintenance and other operating costs and expenses (collectively, “Operating Costs”) in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Property, Seller and Buyer shall each receive a debit or credit, as the case may be, for the difference between the Tenant’s current account balance for Operating Costs and amount of Operating Costs reimbursable to Seller; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall Seller be required to credit Buyer for any uncollected Expense Reimbursements for the Tenant and the same shall be treated in the same manner as uncollected rent is treated in Section 6.1(a), and (ii) all Expense Reimbursements received by Buyer following the Closing shall be applied against the most recently accrued Operating Costs unless the Tenant has specified in writing that such payment relates to an amount due prior to the Closing. 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 payable by Tenant directly to the applicable service providers shall not be prorated between Seller and Buyer.

(c)    Taxes and Assessments. Real estate taxes and assessments imposed by governmental authority that are not yet due and payable and that are not payable by the Tenant under the Lease directly to the governmental authorities 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 and applicable to any period after the Closing. Notwithstanding anything seemingly to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall be solely responsible for and shall assume all assessments applicable to the Property as a result of a change in ownership, regardless of when assessed.

(d)    Service Contracts and Utilities. Seller shall arrange for a billing under all those Service Contracts for which fees are based on usage and with utility companies for a billing for utilities, to include all utilities or service used up to the day Closing occurs, and Seller shall pay the resultant bills. In the event any Service Contracts extend over periods beyond the Closing the same shall be prorated on a per diem basis.

(e)    Final Adjustment After Closing. If final prorations cannot be made at Closing for any item being prorated under this Section 6.1 or if any of the aforesaid prorations were calculated inaccurately, then Buyer and Seller agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as reasonably possible after the Closing Date, to the effect that income and expenses are received and paid by the parties on a cash basis with respect to their period of ownership. Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due within 30 days of written notice. The parties shall have reasonable access to, and the right to inspect and audit, the other party’s books to confirm the final prorations. Seller shall not, however, be charged for any increase in Operating Costs or real estate taxes due to increased costs or reassessments incurred by Buyer in respect of such subsequent to the Closing.

If this transaction is closed, Seller shall pay Broker in accordance with their separate agreement. Broker is an independent contractor and is not authorized to make any agreement or representation on behalf of either party. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE, IF ANY CLAIM IS MADE FOR BROKER’S OR FINDER’S FEES OR COMMISSIONS IN CONNECTION WITH THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR CONSUMMATION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, EACH PARTY SHALL DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE OTHER PARTY FROM AND AGAINST ANY SUCH CLAIM BASED UPON ANY STATEMENT, REPRESENTATION OR AGREEMENT OF SUCH PARTY.

ARTICLE 7: REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

7.1    Seller’s Representations and Warranties. As a material inducement to Buyer to execute this Agreement and consummate this transaction, Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that:

(a)    Organization and Authority. Seller has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing in the jurisdiction of its formation, and is qualified to do business in the state in which the Property is located. Seller has the full right and authority and has obtained any and all consents required to enter into this Agreement and to consummate or cause to be consummated the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been, and all of the documents to be delivered by Seller at the Closing will be, authorized and properly executed and constitutes, or will constitute, as appropriate, the valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

To Seller’s knowledge, Seller has not received written notice from any applicable governmental authority of any pending or threatened action against Seller or the Property, including condemnation proceedings, which challenges or impairs Seller’s ability to execute or perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(c)    Lease. The copy of the Lease provided to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.1 is true, correct and complete. As of the Closing Date, Seller has sent no written notice of default to Tenant and, to Seller’s knowledge, no default of Tenant exists under the Lease which remains uncured.

(e)Compliance with Law. To Seller’s knowledge, Seller has not received any written notice, addressed specifically to Seller and sent by any governmental authority or agency having jurisdiction over the Property, that the Property or its use is in material violation of any law, ordinance or regulation, including any applicable Environmental Laws.
(f)Suits/Claims. As of the Effective Date, there are no suits or claims pending or to Seller’s knowledge, threatened with respect to or in any manner affecting the Property or Tenant, nor does Seller

“Seller’s knowledge,” as used in this Agreement means the current actual knowledge of Mary Lang, without any duty of inquiry or investigation and without personal liability whatsoever.

Seller may further qualify the Property Representations by notice, specifying with reasonable particularity the facts and circumstances known to Seller that make the applicable Property Representation false, misleading or inaccurate, delivered to Buyer before the Closing Date. If Seller delivers a Property Representation notice or if after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period Buyer obtains knowledge of any facts or circumstances that makes any Property Representation false, misleading or inaccurate (herein collectively referred to as “Exception Matters”) within less than 3 business days before the Closing, then Buyer may by notice to Seller extend the Closing Date to that day which is 3 business days after the date of receipt of the Property Representation notice or after obtaining knowledge of such Exception Matters. If any Exception Matters reflects a material adverse change in the matter covered by the applicable Property Representation, then Buyer, as its sole remedy, may terminate this Agreement within 3 business days after receipt of such notice, receive a refund of the Earnest Money and neither party shall have any further rights and obligations under this Agreement except as provided in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 10.2 of this Agreement; provided, that if Buyer so elects to terminate this Agreement, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Exception Matters within 30 days (and the Closing shall be delayed to the extent necessary to allow Seller the entire 30-day period within which to effect such cure) and if Seller cures such Exception Matters, then Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement as a result of such Exception Matters shall be revoked, null and void and this Agreement shall continue without termination (and, if the Closing Date is extended, Closing shall occur on the date that is 5 days after Seller cures such Exception Matters).

7.2    Buyer’s Representations and Warranties. As a material inducement to Seller to execute this Agreement and consummate this transaction, Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that:

7.3    Defect Warranty. Seller shall remain liable to Buyer for any claims made by Tenant for the correction of any defects in any materials or workmanship with the Initial Improvements (as defined in the Lease) solely pursuant to Sections 10(f) and (g) of the Lease to the extent any such claim is not covered by the express terms of the warranties assigned by Seller to Buyer pursuant to the terms hereof. Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall survive Closing and shall not be subject to the other provisions and limitations of Section 10.6 below.

ARTICLE 8: DEFAULT AND DAMAGES

8.1    Default by Buyer. THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE TO CONSUMMATE THE SALE DUE TO BUYER’S DEFAULT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE. AFTER NEGOTIATION, THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT, CONSIDERING ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE AMOUNT OF THE EARNEST MONEY IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER WOULD INCUR IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT. IN THE EVENT BUYER FAILS, WITHOUT LEGAL EXCUSE, TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY, THE EARNEST MONEY MADE BY BUYER SHALL BE FORFEITED TO SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AVAILABLE TO SELLER FOR SUCH FAILURE. BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW, EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMS THE ACCURACY OF THE STATEMENTS MADE ABOVE AND THE FACT THAT EACH PARTY WAS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL WHO EXPLAINED, AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT WAS MADE, THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION.

This Agreement confers no present right, title or interest in the Property to Buyer and Buyer 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.

9.3    Interpleader. Seller and Buyer 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 disposition of the Earnest Money, 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 Buyer, 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 Buyer resulting from the Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting the Escrow Agent’s scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Buyer 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.

10.14    Procedure for Indemnity. The following provisions govern actions for (a) indemnity or (b) for enforcement of any warranty obligations of Seller, under this Agreement. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee (or Buyer with respect to a warranty claim covered by this Agreement (collectively, “indemnitee” as used in this paragraph)) of notice of any claim, such indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnitor or warrantor (collectively referred to in this paragraph as an “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 with respect to an indemnity obligation 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 remedy or 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 email in PDF format counterparts of the signature pages, which shall be deemed an original.

10.16    Section 1031 Exchange. Each party may consummate the purchase and sale of all or a portion of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provided that: (a) 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 the exchanging party’s obligations under this Agreement; (b) the exchanging party shall effect the Exchange through an assignment of all or a portion of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary; (c) the non-exchanging party shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating the Exchange; and (d) the exchanging party shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by either party had the exchanging party not consummated its purchase through the Exchange. The non-exchanging party shall not by this agreement or acquiescence to the Exchange (x) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner, or (y) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the exchanging party that the Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Code.

10.17    JURY TRIAL WAIVER.
