Any area of the Property within the 100-year flood plain will be shown on the Survey as the approximate location of the 100-yearflood plain as defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or other applicable governmental authority. If the area within any 100-year flood plain is to be deducted for the purpose of determining Net Land Area (defined below), then the Survey must show the area of the Property covered by the 100-year flood plain, and that area, as reasonably determined by the surveyor, will be conclusive for purposes of this Contract, even though the surveyor may qualify that determination as approximate. After the delivery of the Survey, the legal description of the Property set forth in the Survey will be incorporated in this Contract as the legal description of the Property, and will be used in the deed and any other documents requiring a legal description of the Property.
The Survey must show the gross land area of the Property, and if the Purchase Price is based upon the Net Land Area then the Survey must also show the Net Land Area, expressed in both acres and square feet.

Seller shall pay any expense for delivery of the Title Commitment and Title Documents.
6. REVIEW OF SURVEY AND TITLE.
A. Title Review Period. Purchaser will have twenty (20) days (the Title Review Period) after receipt of the last of the Survey, Title Commitment and Title Documents to review them and to deliver in writing to Seller any objections Purchaser may have to them or any item disclosed by them. Any item to which Purchaser does not object will be deemed a Permitted Exception. The items set forth on Schedule C of the Title Commitment, and any other items the Title Company identifies to be released upon the Closing, will be deemed objections by Purchaser. Purchasers failure to object within the time provided will be a waiver of the right to object. If Purchaser delivers any written objections to Seller within the Title Review Period, then Seller shall make a good faith attempt to cure the objections within ten (10) days (the Cure Period) after receipt of the objections. However, Seller is not required to incur any cost to do so. Zoning ordinances and the lien for current taxes are deemed to be Permitted Exceptions.
B. Cure Period. If Seller cannot cure the objections within the Cure Period, Seller may deliver a written notice to Purchaser, before expiration of the Cure Period, stating whether Seller is committed to cure the objections at or before the Closing. If Seller does not cure the objections within the Cure Period, or does not timely deliver the notice, or does not commit in the notice to fully cure all of the objections at or before the Closing, then Purchaser may terminate this Contract by delivering a written notice to Seller on or before the earlier to occur of: (1) the date that is seven (7) days after the expiration of the Cure Period; or (2) the scheduled Closing Date. If Purchaser properly and timely
terminates this Contract, the Earnest Money will be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not properly and timely terminate this Contract, then Purchaser will be deemed to have waived any uncured objections and must accept title at the Closing subject to the uncured objections and other Permitted Exceptions. Sellers failure to cure Purchasers objections under this Section 6 does not constitute a default by Seller.
7. SELLERS REPRESENTATIONS.
A. Statements. Seller represents to Purchaser, to the best of Sellers knowledge, as follows:
(1) Title. At the Closing, Seller will convey to Purchaser good and indefeasible fee simple title to the Property free and clear of any and all liens, assessments, easements, security interests and other encumbrances except the Permitted Exceptions. Delivery of the Title Policy pursuant to Section 12 (the Closing) will be deemed to satisfy the obligation of Seller as to the sufficiency of title required under this Contract. However, delivery of the Title Policy will not release Seller from the warranties of title set forth in the warranty deed.
(2) Leases. There are no parties in possession of any portion of the Property as lessees, tenants at sufferance or trespassers except tenants under written leases delivered to Purchaser pursuant to this Contract.
(3) Liens and Debts. There are no mechanics liens, Uniform Commercial Code liens or unrecorded liens against the Property, and Seller shall not allow any such liens to attach to the Property before the Closing that will not be satisfied out of the Closing proceeds. All obligations of Seller arising from the ownership and operation of the Property and any business operated on the Property, including, but not limited to, taxes, leasing commissions, salaries, contracts, and similar agreements, have been paid or will be paid before the Closing. Except for obligations for which provisions are made in this Contract for prorating at the Closing and any indebtedness taken subject to or assumed, there will be no obligations of Seller with respect to the Property outstanding as of the Closing.

Except as disclosed in writing by Seller to Purchaser, the Property has no known latent structural defects or construction defects of a material nature, and none of the improvements have been constructed with materials known to be a potential health hazard to occupants of the Property.
(6) Hazardous Materials. Except as otherwise disclosed in writing by Seller to Purchaser, the Property(including any improvements) does not contain any Hazardous Materials (defined below) other than lawful quantities properly stored in containers in compliance with applicable laws.
B. Remedies. If Purchaser discovers, before the Closing, that any of Sellers representations have been misrepresented in a material respect, Purchaser may notify Seller of the misrepresentation in writing, and Seller shall attempt to correct the misrepresentation. If the misrepresentation is not corrected by Seller before the Closing, Purchaser may: (1) proceed to Closing, without waiving any claim for misrepresentation; or (2) terminate this Contract by delivering a written termination notice to Seller, in which case the Earnest Money will be returned to Purchaser.
C. Negative Covenants. After the Effective Date, Seller shall not, without Purchasers prior written approval: (1) further encumber the Property or allow an encumbrance upon the title to the Property, or modify the terms of any existing encumbrance, if the encumbrance would still be in effect after Closing; or (2) enter into any lease or contract affecting the Property, if the lease or contract would still be in effect after Closing. However, Seller may enter into a lease or contract with an independent third party, in the ordinary course of business, without Purchasers consent, if Purchaser will be entitled to terminate the lease or contract after Closing, without incurring any termination charge, by delivering a termination notice thirty (30) days in advance of the termination date. If Seller enters into any lease or contract affecting the Property after the Effective Date, then Seller shall immediately deliver a photocopy of the signed document to Purchaser.

Purchaser acknowledges that the current use of the Property or the improvements located on the Property (or both) may not conform to applicable Federal, State or municipal laws, ordinances, codes or regulations. Zoning, permitted uses, height limitations, setback requirements, minimum parking requirements, limitations on coverage of improvements to total area of land, Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, wetlands restrictions and other matters may have a significant economic impact upon the intended use of the Property by Purchaser. However, if Seller is aware of pending zoning changes and/or current nonconformance with any Federal, State or local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations, Seller shall disclose same to Purchaser.

o B. Inspection Not Necessary. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has inspected the Property, including all buildings and improvements, and is thoroughly familiar with their condition.

10. CASUALTY LOSS AND CONDEMNATION.
A. Damage or Destruction. All risk of loss to the Property will remain upon Seller before the Closing. If the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty to a Material Extent (defined below), then Purchaser may terminate this Contract by delivering a written termination notice to Seller within ten (10) days after the date the casualty occurred (and in any event before the Closing), in which case the Earnest Money will be returned to Purchaser. If the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty to less than a Material Extent, the parties shall proceed to the Closing as provided in this Contract. If the transaction is to proceed to the Closing, despite any damage or destruction, there will be no reduction in the Purchase Price and Seller shall do one of the following: (1) fully repair the damage before the Closing, at Sellers expense; (2) give a credit to Purchaser at the Closing for the entire cost of repairing the Property; or (3) assign to Purchaser all of Sellers right and interest in any insurance proceeds resulting from the damage or destruction, plus give a credit to Purchaser at the Closing in an amount equal to any deductible or other shortfall. The term Material Extent means damage or destruction where the cost of repair exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price. If the extent of damage or the amount of insurance proceeds to be made available cannot be determined before the Closing Date, or the repairs cannot be completed before the Closing Date, either party may postpone the Closing Date by delivering a written notice to the other party specifying an extended Closing Date that is not more than thirty (30) days after the previously scheduled Closing Date.
B. Condemnation. If condemnation proceedings are commenced before the Closing against any portion of the Property, then Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser in writing of the condemnation proceedings, and Purchaser may terminate this Contract by delivering a written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Purchaser receives the notice (and in any event before the Closing), in which case the Earnest Money will be returned to Purchaser. If this Contract is not terminated, then any condemnation award will (a) if known on the Closing Date, belong to Seller and the Purchase Price will be reduced by the same amount, or (b) if not known on the Closing Date, belong to Purchaser and the Purchase Price will not be reduced.

E. Prorations. Rents, lease commissions, interest, insurance premiums, maintenance expenses, operating expenses, and ad valorem taxes for the year of the Closing will be prorated at the Closing effective as of the date of the Closing. Seller shall give a credit to Purchaser at the Closing in the aggregate amount of any security deposits deposited by tenants under leases affecting the Property. If the Closing occurs before the tax rate is fixed for the year of the Closing, the apportionment of the taxes will be upon the basis of the tax rate for the preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation, but any difference between actual and estimated taxes for the year of the Closing actually paid by Purchaser will be adjusted equitably between the parties upon receipt of a written statement of the actual amount of the taxes. This provision will survive the Closing.
F. Rollback Taxes. If this sale or a change in use of the Property or denial of any special use valuation of the Property would result in the assessment after the Closing of additional taxes and interest applicable to the period of time before the Closing (Rollback Taxes), then: (1) Purchaser shall pay the Rollback Taxes (including any interest and penalties) if and when they are assessed, without receiving any credit from Seller; unless (2) this box is checked, in which case Seller shall give a credit to Purchaser at the Closing for the amount of the Rollback Taxes(including interest) that may be assessed after the Closing as reasonably estimated by the Title Company, and Purchaser shall pay the Rollback Taxes (including any interest and penalties) if and when they are assessed after the Closing. If Seller gives a credit to Purchaser for the estimated amount of Rollback Taxes, and the actual Rollback Taxes assessed after the Closing are different from the estimate used at the Closing, then there will be no subsequent adjustment between Seller and Purchaser. If any Rollback Taxes are due before the Closing due to a change in use of the Property by Seller or a denial of any special use valuation of the Property before the Closing, then Seller shall pay those Rollback Taxes (including any interest and penalties) at or before the Closing.
G. Loan Assumption. If Purchaser takes the property subject to an existing mortgage loan at the Closing, Purchaser shall pay:
(1) to the lender, any fee charged by the lender not to exceed $25,000.00; and (2) to Seller, a sum equal to the amount of any reserve accounts held by the lender for the payment of taxes, insurance and any other expenses applicable to the Property for which reserve accounts are held by the lender. If consent is required by the lender, Seller shall obtain the lenders consent in writing and deliver the consent to Purchaser at the Closing. If Seller does not obtain the lenders written consent (if required) and deliver it to Purchaser at or before the Closing, Purchaser may terminate this Contract by delivering a written termination notice to Seller, and the Earnest Money will be returned to Purchaser.
H. Foreign Person Notification. If Seller is a Foreign Person, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, or if Seller fails to deliver to Purchaser a non-foreign affidavit pursuant to §1445 of the Internal Revenue Code, then Purchaser may withhold from the sales proceeds an amount sufficient to comply with applicable tax law and deliver the withheld proceeds to the Internal Revenue Service, together with appropriate tax forms. A non-foreign affidavit from Seller must include: (1) a statement that Seller is not a foreign person; (2) the U. S. taxpayer identification number of Seller; and (3) any other information required by §1445 of the Internal Revenue Code.
13. DEFAULT.
A. Purchasers Remedies. If Seller fails to close this Contract for any reason except Purchasers default or the termination of this Contract pursuant to a right to terminate set forth in this Contract, Seller will be in default and Purchaser may elect to either: (1) enforce specific performance of this Contract (force Seller to sell the Property to Purchaser pursuant to this Contract); or (2) terminate this Contract by delivering a written notice to Seller.
The foregoing will be Purchasers sole and exclusive remedies for Sellers default unless this box x is checked, in which case Purchaser may sue Seller for damages. If the box is checked to allow Purchaser to sue Seller for damages, then Purchaser must elect to pursue either specific performance or a claim for damages at the beginning of any legal action initiated by Purchaser.
B. Sellers Remedies. If Purchaser fails to close this Contract for any reason except Sellers default or the termination of this Contract pursuant to a right to terminate set forth in this Contract, Purchaser will be in default and Seller may terminate this Contract and receive the Earnest Money as liquidated damages for Purchasers breach of this Contract, thereby releasing Purchaser from this Contract. If Seller terminates this Contract due to Purchasers default, then the Earnest Money will be paid to Seller.
The right to receive the Earnest Money will be Sellers sole and exclusive remedy for Purchasers default unless one of the following remedies is selected, in which case Seller may sue Purchaser:
o to enforce specific performance (force Purchaser to purchase the Property pursuant to this Contract); or
o for damages.
