D. All Operating Leases (hereinafter defined).
1.3 | On the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall enter into a lease substantially in the form of Exhibit “D” in the Exhibits with respect to each Property (the “Lease”). |

The total purchase price for the Assets shall be One Hundred Fifty Five Million Six Hundred Eighty Five Thousand Three Hundred Fifty Nine and No/100 Dollars ($155,685,359) (as the same may be adjusted pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement, the “Purchase Price”) and shall be payable by Purchaser to Seller as follows:
2.1 On or before 5:00 p.m., Central Standard Time on the date which is two (2) days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit Seven Million Seven Hundred Eighty Four Thousand Two Hundred Sixty Eight and No/100 Dollars ($7,784,268) (the “Earnest Money Deposit”), with Chicago Title Insurance Company, 711 Third Avenue, #500, New York, New York 10017, Attention: Neal J. Miranda; E-Mail: ***@*** (“Escrowee”), which amount the parties have bargained for and agreed to as consideration for the Seller’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and grant to Purchaser of Purchaser’s exclusive right to conduct its diligence of the Properties, as more particularly described herein. The Earnest Money Deposit is in addition to, and independent of, any other consideration or payment provided in this Agreement, and is non-refundable to Purchaser, except, in each case, as otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is not so consummated, the Earnest Money shall be held and delivered by the Escrowee as herein provided.

This Section shall survive Closing.
2.4 Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deliver to Escrowee for delivery to Seller the amount of Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($500.00) (“Independent Contract Consideration”), which amount the parties bargained for and agreed to as consideration for Seller’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Independent Contract Consideration shall be delivered to Escrowee by wire transfer, and the Escrowee is hereby instructed to deliver same to Seller on demand. This Independent Contract Consideration is in addition to and independent of any other consideration or payment provided for in this Agreement, is nonrefundable, and shall be retained by Seller notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.
3. TITLE AND DUE DILIGENCE MATERIALS.
3.1 Fee simple title to the Properties shall be conveyed to Purchaser subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (hereinafter defined). Conveyance to Purchaser of fee simple title to the Properties shall be by the applicable Seller’s delivery of an executed special warranty deed substantially in the form of Exhibit "C" in the Exhibits (the “Deed”), with such reasonable changes to such form as may be reasonably necessary to permit such Deed to be recorded in the applicable recording office for real estate records which is applicable to the Properties or as may be reasonably necessary to conform such Deed to any other requirements with respect to the form of special warranty deeds imposed by the laws of the state in which the Properties are located.
3.2 Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that Seller has delivered (or made available to Purchaser by means of an electronic data-room maintained by Seller) to Purchaser the following items regarding each of the Properties (collectively, the “Due Diligence Materials”): (1) a preliminary title report or commitment for title insurance from Escrowee with respect to each Property (each, a “Title Commitment” and collectively, the “Title Commitments”), (2) an updated survey with respect to each Property (each, a “Survey” and collectively, the “Surveys”), (3) a Phase I environmental site assessment report with respect to each Property (each, a “Phase I Report” and collectively the “Phase I Reports”), (4) a property condition report with respect to each Property (each, a “PCR” and collectively the “PCRs”), and (5) a zoning report with respect to each Property (each, a “Zoning Report” and collectively the “Zoning Reports”). If the Due Diligence Materials disclose exceptions to title to a Property, survey defects or any other matters which are not acceptable to Purchaser, including, without limitation, any Material Defects (as defined below) (any such condition being referred to herein as an “Unpermitted Exception”), then Purchaser shall deliver written notice to Seller (the “Objection Notice”) of any such Unpermitted Exception on or prior to 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on July 17, 2018 (the "Objection Deadline”); provided, however, Purchaser shall not be permitted to object to any Permitted Exception (as defined below). Any exceptions to title to a Property disclosed by the Due Diligence Materials that are not objected to by Purchaser on or prior to the expiration of the Objection Deadline shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions (defined below). Seller shall have until the date which is one (1) business day prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (“Seller’s Response Deadline”) in which to give Purchaser notice as to whether Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause certain Unpermitted Exceptions set forth in such Objection Notice to be removed from title, insured over by the Escrowee on the applicable Title Policy, or otherwise reasonably mitigated or cured (in Seller’s sole discretion), and in the case of any Material Defects, object to such characterization (the “Seller’s Title Response”). If Seller gives such Seller’s Title Response to Purchaser, then Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as Seller indicates. Any Unpermitted Exceptions previously objected to by Purchaser which Seller has not agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure or have removed or insured over by the Escrowee on the applicable Title Policy shall become Permitted Exceptions if Purchaser does not elect to exclude the applicable Property prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (and otherwise in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 7.3(C) hereof).
3.3 If, between the expiration of the Objection Deadline and Closing, any of the Due Diligence Materials add or modify any Unpermitted Exceptions or modify any Permitted Exceptions (“Supplemental Exceptions”) and such Supplemental Exceptions (i) were caused by, through or under Seller and (ii) materially affect the value or Purchaser’s intended use of the affected Properties (“Material Supplemental Exceptions”), then Purchaser shall deliver written notice to Seller (“Supplemental Objection Notice”), within forty-eight (48) hours of receiving the same from Escrowee, if it objects to any such Material Supplemental Exceptions (the “Unpermitted Supplemental Exceptions”). Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Unpermitted Supplemental Exceptions to be removed from title or insured over by the Escrowee at or prior to Closing.
3.4 Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the term “Permitted Exceptions” shall be deemed to include the following: (a) all applicable zoning and building laws, restrictions, regulations and ordinances (but shall not include any violation of any of the foregoing); (b) encroachments that do not, and are not reasonably likely to, materially impair or interfere with the present or future use of the applicable Property; (c) the state of facts shown on the applicable Survey of each Property provided such facts are not reasonably likely to materially impair the present or future use of the applicable Property; (d) real estate taxes, and water and sewer charges and other similar charges, which are not yet due and payable as of the Closing Date; (e) easements, and rights of public utilities which do not, and are not reasonably likely to, prevent in any material way, prohibit, or materially impair or interfere with the present or future use of the applicable Property; (f) covenants, conditions, restrictions and other instruments or encumbrances set forth in the Title Commitment for the applicable Property which do not, and are not reasonably likely to, prevent in any material way, prohibit or materially impair the present or future use of the applicable Property; (g) monetary liens for which the provision for payment in the form of an escrow has been made to the satisfaction of Escrowee; (h) liens, claims, encumbrances, security interests, title exceptions or imperfections of title caused by or resulting from the acts of Purchaser or any of its affiliates, employees, officers, directors, agents, contractors, invitees or licensees; (i) the Excluded Contracts, (j) the Operating Leases (hereinafter defined), (k) all items and conditions that are deemed to be a Permitted Exception pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement, and (l) any matters, encumbrances, instruments or exceptions which Seller causes the Escrowee to insure over on a Title Policy issued by the Escrowee to Purchaser at Closing. As used in this Agreement, the term “Operating Leases” shall mean any leases, licenses or other occupancy agreements (and any amendments, extensions or other modifications thereof) between Seller, on the one hand, and entities that are affiliates of Seller, on the other hand, concerning the use or occupancy of all or part of a Property.
3.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Seller covenants and agrees that at or prior to Closing, Seller shall (i) pay in full and cause to be canceled and discharged or otherwise cause the Escrowee to insure over all mechanics’ and contractors’ liens which encumber the Land and Improvements as of the date of Closing and which have been placed on the Land and Improvements in connection with work authorized by any Seller; and (ii) cause to be released all loan security documents entered into by any Seller which encumber any of such Seller’s interest in the Assets.
4. ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Lease, effective as of the Closing, Purchaser shall assume, pay and discharge all claims, liabilities or obligations of any kind, fixed or contingent, known or unknown, relating to or arising in connection with the use, non-use, and ownership of the Properties, to the extent such claims, liabilities and obligations accrue with respect to, and are attributable to, facts or circumstances first occurring during the period from and after 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Lease, Purchaser will (and will cause its assignees and successors to) fully and promptly perform all of the obligations of Seller assumed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement accruing and attributable to the period from and after 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date.
5. DEFAULT.
5.1 If Purchaser shall fail to render the performance required of it under this Agreement within five (5) days after notice from Seller informing Purchaser of such failure, then Seller may exercise one (1) of the following rights and remedies as its sole and exclusive right and remedy:
A. Terminate this Agreement and retain the Earnest Money Deposit, which shall be deemed full liquidated damages and not a penalty. The parties acknowledge the difficulty and impracticability of ascertaining Seller’s damages in the event of Purchaser’s default, including Seller’s costs, expenses and fees in connection therewith, and agree that each of the amounts referenced herein, whether applicable separately or together, result from a reasonable attempt by the parties to consider the consequence to Seller and represent a reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages arising from Purchaser’s default. Neither Seller nor Purchaser thereafter shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement except for the obligations which are expressly deemed to survive such termination pursuant to the terms hereof.
B. Forbear the satisfaction of any unsatisfied conditions and consummate the Closing.
The foregoing shall in no way be deemed to limit the extent of Seller’s damages or Purchaser’s liability to Seller pursuant to any indemnification provision of this Agreement, including without limitation, Sections 7.5.
5.2 If Seller shall fail to render the performance required of them under this Agreement within five (5) days after notice from Purchaser informing Seller of such failure, then Purchaser, may exercise one (1) of the following rights and remedies as its sole and exclusive right and remedy:
A. Terminate this Agreement in which event (a) Escrowee shall be required to refund the Earnest Money Deposit to Purchaser, and (b) solely in the event that specific performance is not available to Purchaser on account of a pending or actual sale by Seller to a third party, Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from Seller money damages not to exceed an amount equal to the amount of the Earnest Money Deposit, both (a) and (b), whether applicable separately or together, being full liquidated damages and not a penalty. The parties acknowledge the difficulty and impracticability of ascertaining Purchaser’s damages in the event of Seller’s default, including Purchaser’s costs, expenses and fees in connection therewith, and agree that each of the amounts referenced herein, whether applicable separately or together, result from a reasonable attempt by the parties to consider the consequence to Purchaser and represent a reasonable estimate of Purchaser’s damages arising from Seller’s default. Neither Seller nor Purchaser thereafter shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement except for the obligations which are expressly deemed to survive such termination pursuant to the terms hereof.
B. Exercise, pursue and enforce any right of specific performance to require Seller to convey the Assets to Purchaser.
C. Forbear the satisfaction of any unsatisfied conditions and consummate the Closing.

The immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

7. INSPECTIONS; ACCESS; EXCLUSIONS
7.1 Purchaser and its representatives shall be permitted to enter upon the Properties at any reasonable time and from time to time (whether during or after the Due Diligence Period) to examine, inspect and investigate the Properties as well as all records and other documentation provided by Seller (collectively, “Investigations”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not perform any invasive examinations, inspections, investigations or tests at or on the Properties (including, without limitation, any “Phase II” environmental tests) without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. The Investigations shall be subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Article 7 and Purchaser’s conduct thereof shall be in strict compliance with its covenants and agreements contained herein. Except as expressly provided in Section 12.1, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with Purchaser’s Investigations. In no event shall Purchaser’s right to conduct Investigations as provided herein after the Due Diligence Period be deemed to extend the Due Diligence Period.
7.2 Purchaser shall have the right to enter upon the Properties for the purpose of conducting its Investigations provided that in each such instance (i) Purchaser notifies Seller of its intent to enter the Properties to conduct its Investigations not less than forty-eight (48) hours prior to such entry; (ii) the date and approximate time period are scheduled with Seller; and (iii) Purchaser is in full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this Article 7. At Seller’s election, a representative of the Seller may be present during any entry by Purchaser or its representatives upon the Properties for conducting its Investigations. Purchaser shall take all necessary actions to ensure that neither it nor any of its representatives interfere with any ongoing operations occurring at the Properties, and Purchaser acknowledges that Investigations shall not be performed inside or on the roof of any buildings during lunch and dinner hours. Purchaser shall not cause or permit any mechanic’s liens, materialmen’s liens or other liens to be filed against the Properties as a result of its.
7.3 Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m., Central Standard Time, on July 30, 2018 (the “Due Diligence Period”), to conduct its Investigations and, in Purchaser’s discretion, to determine whether the Assets are acceptable to Purchaser according to only one of the following:
A. Purchaser may elect to purchase all of the Assets in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in which event Purchaser shall not be required to provide any additional notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Earnest Money Deposit, including all interest earned thereon, shall automatically become fully earned by Seller and non-refundable (except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement).
B. Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement for any or no reason, by delivering written notice thereof to Seller on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (whether delivered by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to this Section 7.3, a “Termination Notice”). If Purchaser does not timely deliver a Termination Notice, Purchaser shall be conclusively deemed to have waived its right to elect to terminate this Agreement during the Due Diligence Period and shall be conclusively deemed to have elected to purchase all of the Assets in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (except for any Assets excluded pursuant to Section 7.3(C)). In the event Purchaser timely delivers a Termination Notice, the Earnest Money Deposit, including all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further obligations to the other party hereunder, except for the obligations which are expressly deemed to survive such termination pursuant to the terms hereof.
C. If, prior to the Objection Deadline, Due Diligence Materials disclose Material Defect(s) (defined below), then Purchaser may deliver written notice to Seller on or prior to the Objection Deadline describing with specificity such Material Defect(s) and the Properties Purchaser desires to exclude from the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “Exclusion Notice”), which such Exclusion Notice shall be included, but separately identified, in Purchaser’s Objection Notice. Any Material Defects as found in the Due Diligence Materials prior to the Objection Deadline which are not objected to by Purchaser in a timely Exclusion Notice shall be deemed approved by Purchaser. In all instances under this Agreement, prior to the expiration of Seller’s Response Deadline, Seller shall have the right to contest any characterization of an Unpermitted Exception as a “Material Defect” and cure such Unpermitted Exception prior to or at Closing, in which event the Property subject to such Unpermitted Exception shall not be excluded from the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the Purchase Price shall not be adjusted to deduct the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to such excluded Property as described below. In the event that Purchaser delivers to Seller an Exclusion Notice that (i) identifies uncontested and bona fide Material Defect(s) or (ii) that identifies bona fide Material Defect(s) that are contested but not cured by Seller prior to Closing, such Property(ies) subject to the Material Defect(s) may be excluded from the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (in Purchaser’s sole discretion) and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to account for the exclusion of such Property(ies) by deducting the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to such excluded Property(ies) as set forth in Schedule I in the Schedules and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder with respect to each such excluded Property(ies), except for the obligations expressly deemed, pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, to survive the termination of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to all Properties not so excluded; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser have the right to designate more than five (5) Properties for exclusion pursuant to this Section 7.3(C) (the “Property Exclusion Threshold”). If Purchaser’s Exclusion Notice seeks to exclude properties pursuant to the foregoing in excess of the Property Exclusion Threshold, then Seller may, in Seller’s sole discretion, either (1) agree to such additional exclusions beyond the Property Exclusion Threshold, or (2) terminate this Agreement by delivering to Purchaser on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period a Termination Notice, and the Earnest Money Deposit, including all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further obligations to the other party hereunder, except for the obligations which are expressly deemed to survive such termination pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If Seller does not timely deliver a Termination Notice to Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing, Seller shall be conclusively deemed to have waived such right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to its rights set forth in this Section 7.3(C) and Purchaser shall be conclusively deemed to have elected to purchase all of the Assets excluding those Properties with uncontested and bona fide Material Defect(s) identified in Purchaser’s Exclusion Notice (and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to account for the exclusion of such Properties as provided above) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.4 above, a “Material Defect” shall mean any of the following that materially adversely affects the value of such Property as found in the Due Diligence Materials: (1) the identification of a Recognized Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13) in the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment related to such Property, unless Seller permits a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (a “Phase II”) with respect to such Property and said Phase II concludes that no further action or investigation is recommended, or the presence of Hazardous Materials (defined herein) (other than lead based paint or asbestos containing materials), the concentration, amount or presence of which exceeds those allowed by applicable law at the Property for commercial use of the Property, including the specific commercial use of the Property being currently used by Seller; (2) a material violation of applicable zoning laws, which shall be deemed to not include any legally non-conforming status based on use or structure of any Property or an item (a) with respect to which Escrowee commits to issuing a title insurance endorsement insuring over the risk presented by such item, and (b) Seller commits to paying the cost of such endorsement at Closing; (3) a material title or survey defect that is not a Permitted Exception and cannot be cured prior to Closing, insured over by the Escrowee on the applicable Title Policy, or that can be so cured or insured over, but that Seller fails or refuses to cure or insure over prior to Closing, or (4) a material structural issue that cannot be corrected or made subject to a plan for correction by Seller prior to Closing or that Seller fails or refuses to correct or make subject to a plan for correction prior to Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if there is a Supplemental Exception that constitutes a Material Defect and Seller is unable, after exercising commercially reasonable efforts, to remove, reasonably mitigate or cure (in the sole discretion of Seller) such Supplemental Exception, then Seller shall not be in default under this Agreement and Purchaser may, as its sole right and remedy in such event, elect to do one of the following: (i) exclude no more than one (1) additional Property from the transaction contemplated by this Agreement due to such Material Defect affecting such Property (the “Supplemental Excluded Property”) by promptly delivering a written notice thereof to Seller prior to Closing with respect to such Supplemental Excluded Property (a “Notice of Supplemental Exclusion”), in which event the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to account for the exclusion the Supplemental Excluded Property by deducting the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to the Supplemental Excluded Property on Schedule I in the Schedules and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder with respect to the Supplemental Excluded Property, except for the obligations expressly deemed, pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, to survive the termination of this Agreement; (ii) provide a Supplemental Notice of Exclusion seeking to exclude more than one (1) Property pursuant to this sentence, in which event Seller may, in Seller’s sole discretion, either (x) agree to such additional exclusions (and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to account for the exclusion of such Properties as provided above) or (y) terminate this Agreement, and the Earnest Money Deposit, including all interest earned thereon shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for the obligations expressly deemed, pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, to survive the termination of this Agreement, or (iii) waive its rights in this sentence (in which event any remaining Material Defects shall be deemed to be approved by Purchaser) and consummate the Closing.
D. As of the Effective Date, the language proposed in Paragraph 18(b) of the Lease for the Property located in Greenville, Texas (the “Greenville Property”) is still being reviewed by Seller’s accountants for compliance with sale-leaseback accounting standards. In the event that Seller’s accountants do not approve such language for the Greenville Property, Seller will not be obligated to include such language in the Lease for the Greenville Property, and the Closing for the Greenville Property shall be extended as set forth in Section 8.
7.4 Purchaser agrees and covenants with Seller not to disclose to any third party without Seller’s prior written consent, any of the reports or any other documentation or information obtained by Purchaser that relate to the Properties, including without limitation the Due Diligence Materials (collectively, the “Property Information”), or the Seller in any way, all of which shall be used by Purchaser and its agents solely in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prevent Purchaser from (a) disclosing such information as needed to its members, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, beneficiaries, trustees, agents, representatives, attorneys, lenders, and accountants directly in connection with the evaluation and consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, and any potential third party buyers of any of the Properties and their lenders (provided such party agrees to keep all such information confidential under the same terms applicable to Seller in this Section 7.4 pursuant to a confidentiality agreement memorializing same); (b) making (without the consent of, but upon notice to, Seller) any disclosure required by any applicable law or regulation or judicial process, (c) disclosing such information generally available to the public except by reason of Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement, (d) disclosing such information as required in connection with any enforcement of this Agreement or any of the other transaction documents, or (e) making any required disclosures in recorded documents, filed certificates and similar documents in connection with the Closing. In the event that this Agreement is terminated, Purchaser agrees that all such information will be held in strict confidence and, upon the request of Seller, at Purchaser’s election either (i) will be returned to Seller, or (ii) Purchaser shall provide written notice to Seller of the destruction thereof. The foregoing provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

As used herein, the term “Closing Date” shall mean the day of the Closing. The Closing shall be a so-called "New York style" closing where any Title Policies which Purchaser has arranged to be provided to Purchaser at Closing are provided to Purchaser at Closing even though the Deed has not yet been recorded (which Title Policies may be provided in the form of a customary, so called “mark-up” of a title insurance commitment or proforma owner’s title policy). Seller shall provide any so-called "gap" undertaking (in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller) which may be required by Escrowee in order for such "New York style" closing to occur.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8 or elsewhere in this Agreement:
(A) In the event that Seller’s accountants do not approve the Lease language relating to the Greenville Property as described in Section 7.3(D) of this Agreement, then (i) the Closing of the Greenville Property shall occur three (3) business days following receipt of a revised Phase I Environmental Site Assessment report that confirms the absence of a Material Defect as to the Greenville Property, or (ii) in the event that the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment report for the Greenville Property recommends a subsurface investigation and Seller consents to the same, the Closing of the Greenville Property shall occur three (3) business days following receipt of a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment report that confirms the absence of a Material Defect as to the Greenville Property (the conditions described in subsections [i] and [ii] above are collectively referred to as, the “Greenville Condition”).

(B) The Closing as to the Property located in Arcadia, Florida (the “Arcadia Property”) shall occur three (3) business days following resolution of the erroneous legal description of the Arcadia Property, which resolution shall be deemed to have occurred if Escrowee is willing to issue a Title Policy with the correct legal description for the Arcadia Property without conditions or exceptions relating to the accuracy of such legal description (the “Arcadia Condition”) and, until such Closing, a portion of the Earnest Money Deposit equal to five percent (5.0%) of the Purchase Price allocated to the Arcadia Property in Schedule I of the Schedules shall be retained by Escrowee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if the Greenville Condition is not satisfied by September 14, 2018, this Agreement shall be terminated as to said Greenville Property, the portion of the Earnest Money Deposit allocable to said Greenville Property held by Escrowee shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement as to said Greenville Property, except for such matters as are expressly stated in this Agreement to survive such a termination, and (b) if the Arcadia Condition is not satisfied by September 14, 2018, this Agreement shall be terminated as to said Arcadia Property, the portion of the Earnest Money Deposit allocable to said Arcadia Property held by Escrowee shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser, and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement as to said Arcadia Property, except for such matters as are expressly stated in this Agreement to survive such a termination.

The parties agree that (i) either party may disclose this Agreement and the terms and conditions to the extent required by law, including any applicable securities law or other legal disclosure obligations of such party or any consolidated group of which it is a part, or as may be required by debt instruments and/or financing or credit agreements by which the parties are bound, and (ii) to the extent that both Seller and Purchaser are required to disclose this Agreement as required by law, Seller and Purchaser shall mutually agree on the timeframe for such disclosure; provided, however, that such disclosure must occur no later than four (4) Business Days after the Effective Date.
