(a) Buyer shall order a title commitment (the “Title Commitment”) from Escrow Agent, a survey and a zoning report for the Property promptly after the date hereof. All matters shown in the Title Commitment, survey or zoning report (“Title Matters”) with respect to which Buyer fails to object, or for which Buyer has objected but Seller has elected (or deemed to have elected) not to cure, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions”. However, Permitted Exceptions shall not include any mechanic’s lien or any monetary lien caused or created by Seller, or any deeds of trust, mortgage, or other loan documents secured by the Property, (collectively, “Liens”). Seller shall be required to cure or remove all Liens (by payment, bond deposit or indemnity acceptable to Escrow Agent) caused or created by Seller; provided, however, if the aggregate amount of monies required to satisfy any
5
Lien which is a judgment lien shall equal or exceed $100,000, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by notice to Buyer. Upon such termination by Seller, this Agreement shall terminate, the Earnest Money shall be promptly refunded to Buyer, and Seller shall pay to Buyer all of Buyer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement, not to exceed FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($50,000), and neither party shall have any further liability to the other hereunder other than the obligations of the parties which survive Closing. Seller shall have no obligation to cure any Title Matter objected to, except as aforesaid, by Buyer. Seller shall notify Buyer of any objections which Seller elects to remove or cure within three (3) business days following receipt of Buyer’s objections. If Seller fails to deliver such notice, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any such objections. In the event that Seller refuses to remove or cure any objections, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller given prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (time being of the essence), upon which termination the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. If any matter not revealed in the Title Commitment is discovered by Buyer or by the Escrow Agent and is added to the Title Commitment by the Escrow Agent at or prior to Closing, Buyer shall have until the earlier of (i) two (2) business days after the Buyer’s receipt of the updated, revised Title Commitment showing the new title exception, together with a legible copy of any such new matter, or (ii) the date of Closing, to provide Seller with written notice of its objection to any such new title exception (an “Objection”). If Seller does not remove or cure such Objection prior to the date that is the later of the Closing Date and the date that is two (2) business days after Seller’s receipt of written notice of the Objection, Buyer may terminate this Agreement, in which case the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Objection is a result of a new title exception caused or created by Seller after the Effective Date which Seller fails to cure, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer’s reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement not to exceed FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($50,000).
(b) Within three (3) business days following the Effective Date, Seller shall provide to Buyer copies of the following documents and materials pertaining to the Property to the extent within Seller’s possession or reasonable control: (i) a complete copy of all leases affecting the Property (unless the same have previously been provided to Buyer) and all amendments thereto and of all material correspondence relating thereto; (ii) a copy of all surveys and site plans of the Property, including without limitation any as-built survey obtained or delivered to tenants of the Property in connection with its construction; (iii) a copy of all architectural plans and specifications and construction drawings and contracts for improvements located on the Property; (iv) a copy of Seller’s title insurance commitments and policies relating to the Property; (v) a copy of the certificate of occupancy (or local equivalent) and zoning reports for the Property; and of all governmental permits/approvals; (vi) a copy of all environmental, engineering and physical condition reports for the Property; (vii) copies of the Property’s real estate tax bills for the current and prior two (2) tax years or, if the Property has been owned by Seller for less than two (2) tax years, for the period of ownership; (viii) the operating statements of the Property for the twenty four (24) calendar months immediately preceding the Effective Date or if the Tenant has been operating for less than twenty-four (24) months, for the period of operation; (ix) all service contracts and insurance policies which affect the Property, if any; (x) a copy of all warranties relating to the improvements constructed on
6
the Property, including without limitation any roof warranties; and (xi) a written inventory of all items of personal property to be conveyed to Buyer, if any (the “Due Diligence Materials”). Seller shall deliver any other documents relating to the Property reasonably requested by Buyer, to the extent within Seller’s possession or reasonable control, within three (3) business days following such request. Additionally, during the term of this Agreement, Buyer, its agents and designees, shall have the right to enter the Property for the purposes of inspecting the Property, making surveys, mechanical and structural engineering studies, inspecting construction, and conducting any other non-invasive investigations and inspections as Buyer may reasonably require to assess the condition and suitability of the Property; provided, however, that such activities by or on behalf of Buyer on the Property shall not damage the Property nor interfere with construction on the Property or the conduct of business by Tenant under the Lease; and provided further, however, that Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims or damages to the extent resulting from the activities of Buyer on the Property, and Buyer shall repair any and all damage caused, in whole or in part, by Buyer and return the Property to its condition prior to such damage, which obligation shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement. Buyer shall not perform or cause to be performed, without Seller’s prior written consent, any invasive or destructive sampling or testing of any media, including, but not limited to, water, soil and all other media (the “Invasive Testing”), which consent shall be in Seller’s sole discretion. If Buyer determines that Invasive Testing is required, then Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of any diligence that may be reasonably required by Seller to determine whether to consent to such Invasive Testing. Promptly upon receipt, Buyer shall provide to Seller copies of the results and reports produced as a result of any such Invasive Testing, provided that neither Buyer nor its third party contractors or agents shall be required to provide any representations or warranties to Seller in relation to such results and reports. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with the efforts of Buyer and the Buyer’s representatives to inspect the Property. After the Effective Date, Buyer shall be permitted to speak and meet with Tenant in connection with Buyer’s due diligence, provided, however that Seller shall contact Tenant to arrange any interviews, and (ii) a representative of Seller shall be present during any such interview, if requested by Seller. Upon signing this agreement, Seller shall provide Buyer with the name of a contact person(s) for the purpose of arranging site visits. Buyer shall give Seller reasonable written notice (which in any event shall not be less than two (2) business days) before entering the Property, and Seller may have a representative present during any and all examinations, inspections and/or studies on the Property. Buyer shall have the unconditional right, for any reason or no reason, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller and the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which event this Agreement shall become null and void, Buyer shall receive a refund of the Earnest Money, and all rights, liabilities and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall expire, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. Prior to the time Buyer avails itself of the rights herein contained to enter upon the Property, Buyer shall deliver to Seller evidence that Buyer, Buyer’s agents and contractors, or the particular party who intends to enter upon the Property, has in effect a fully paid policy of insurance that insures Buyer and Seller against any liability normally covered by a general public liability policy with limits of at least ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence. The policy maintained, or caused to be maintained, pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall insure the contractual liability of Buyer covering the indemnities herein and shall (i) name Seller as an additional insured party, and (ii) contain a provision that the insurance provided thereunder shall be primary and noncontributing with any other insurance available to Seller. If Buyer fails to deliver a notice of
7
termination to Seller in accordance with this Section prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, such failure shall be deemed a determination by Buyer to proceed to Closing, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Earnest Money shall be non-refundable, except as expressly set forth herein (i.e., Seller’s default, failure of a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close and casualty/condemnation, and a new Objection as described in Section 6(a) of this Agreement). Buyer’s obligations set forth in this Section shall survive Closing and/or the termination of this Agreement.
(c) Within two (2) business days following the Effective Date, Seller shall request Estoppel Certificates certified to the following: “AR Capital, LLC, ARC KSFTWPA001, LLC, and their lender, successors and assigns” (and simultaneously provide Buyer with a copy of such request) and a waiver of Tenant’s right of first refusal, if any. It shall be a condition of Closing that Seller shall have obtained an estoppel certificate from Tenant in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F or, if Tenant refuses to sign the requested form, then in the form of estoppel certificate required by the Lease (the “Tenant Estoppel Certificate”), and Seller shall use good faith efforts to obtain the same. Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer photocopies or pdf files of the executed estoppel certificate when Seller receives the same. If Seller is unable to deliver the Tenant Estoppel pursuant to the foregoing sentence on or before the Closing Date, Seller may extend the Closing Date up to fifteen (15) days in order to give Seller additional time to deliver such Tenant Estoppel. If Seller is unable to deliver such estoppel certificate on or before the Closing Date (as the same may be extended), such failure shall not be a default hereunder, and Buyer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to Seller on or before the Closing Date, in which case the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further liability under this Agreement, other than obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or waive this condition and proceed to Closing
(d) Seller shall use good faith efforts to obtain subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from Tenant in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Buyer’s Lender, if applicable (the “SNDA”). Delivery of an SNDA shall not be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to proceed to Closing, nor shall the failure to deliver an SNDA be a default by Seller hereunder.
(e) Seller shall use good faith efforts to obtain estoppel certificates with respect to reciprocal easement agreements as may be reasonably requested by Buyer. Delivery of such estoppel certificates shall not be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to proceed to Closing, nor shall the failure to deliver such estoppel certificates be a default by Seller hereunder.
7. Risk of Loss/Condemnation. Upon an occurrence of a casualty, condemnation or taking, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of same. Until Closing, the risk of loss or damage to the Property, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be borne by Seller. In the event all or any portion of the Property is damaged in any casualty or condemned or taken (or notice of any condemnation or taking is issued) so that: (a) Tenant has a right of termination or abatement of rent under the Lease, or (b) with respect to any casualty, if the cost to repair such casualty would exceed $50,000, or (c) with respect to any condemnation, any Improvements or access to the Property
8
or more than five percent (5%) of the Property is (or will be) condemned or taken, then, Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of such termination to Seller within ten (10) business days after Buyer’s receipt of notice of such condemnation, taking or damage, upon which termination the Earnest Money shall be returned to the Buyer and neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. With respect to any condemnation or taking (of any notice thereof), if Buyer does not elect to cancel this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing the rights of Seller to the awards, if any, for the condemnation or taking, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep all such awards. With respect to a casualty, if Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement or does not have the right to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing the rights of Seller to the proceeds under Seller’s insurance policies covering such Property with respect to such damage or destruction (or pay to Buyer any such proceeds received prior to Closing) and pay to Buyer the amount of any deductible with respect thereto, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep any monies received from such insurance policies.
8. Earnest Money Disbursement. The Earnest Money shall be held by Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) If the Closing occurs, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to, or upon the instructions of, Seller and Buyer on the Closing Date to be applied as part payment of the Purchase Price. If for any reason the Closing does not occur, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this clause (a). Subject to the last sentence of this clause (a), if for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand (the “Demand”) upon Escrow Agent for payment of the Earnest Money, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of the Demand within one business day after receipt of the Demand. If Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within five (5) business days after the giving of such notice by Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make the payment set forth in the Demand. If Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such period, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (a) if Buyer delivers a notice to Escrow Agent and the Seller stating that Buyer has terminated this Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Earnest Money to Buyer without the necessity of delivering any notice to, or receiving any notice from Seller.
(b) The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that 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 liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller or Buyer resulting from Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting Escrow Agent scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and
9
severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that Escrow Agent shall hold the Earnest Money in escrow and shall disburse the Earnest Money pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.
9. Default
(a) In the event Buyer defaults in any of its obligations undertaken in this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to, as its sole and exclusive remedy to either: (i) if Buyer is willing to proceed to Closing, waive such default and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; or (ii) declare this Agreement to be terminated, and Seller shall be entitled to immediately receive all of the Earnest Money as liquidated damages as and for Seller’s sole remedy. Upon such termination, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Seller and Buyer agree that (a) actual damages due to Buyer’s default hereunder would be difficult and inconvenient to ascertain and that such amount is not a penalty and is fair and reasonable in light of all relevant circumstances, (b) the amount specified as liquidated damages is not disproportionate to the damages that would be suffered and the costs that would be incurred by Seller as a result of having withdrawn the Property from the market, and (c) Buyer desires to limit its liability under this Agreement to the amount of the Earnest Money paid in the event Buyer fails to complete Closing. Seller hereby waives any right to recover the balance of the Purchase Price, or any part thereof, and the right to pursue any other remedy permitted at law or in equity against Buyer, except in connection with obligations which are expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement and Closing (i.e., Buyer’s indemnification of Seller in connection with Buyer’s right of entry onto the Property). In no event under this Section or otherwise shall Buyer be liable to Seller for any punitive, speculative or consequential damages.
(b) In the event of a default in the obligations herein taken by Seller with respect to the Property, Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either: (i) waive any unsatisfied conditions and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; (ii) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller no later than Closing, upon which termination the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer, Seller shall pay to Buyer all of Buyer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement, not to exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), which return and payment shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller and Buyer from any and all liability hereunder, except those which are specifically stated herein to survive any termination hereof; (iii) enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder; or (iv) by notice to Seller given on or before the Closing Date, extend the Closing Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days (the “Closing Extension Period”), and the “Closing Date” shall be moved to the last day of the Closing Extension Period. If Buyer so extends the Closing Date, then Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, cause said conditions to be satisfied during the Closing Extension Period. If Seller does not cause said conditions to be satisfied during the Closing Extension Period, then Buyer shall have the remedies set forth in Section
10
9(b) (i) through (iii) above except that the term “Closing” shall read “Extended Closing”.
In no event shall Seller be liable to Buyer for any punitive, speculative or indirect consequential damages.
10. Closing. The Closing shall consist of the execution and delivery of documents by Seller and Buyer, as set forth below, and delivery by Buyer to Seller of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Seller shall deliver to Escrow Agent for the benefit of Buyer at Closing the following executed documents:
(a) A Special Warranty Deed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B;
(b) An Assignment and Assumption of Lease and Security Deposits, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C;
(c) A Bill of Sale for the personal property, if any, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D;
(d) An Assignment of Contracts, Permits, Licenses and Warranties in the form of Exhibit E;

(g) Good standing certificates and corporate resolutions or member or partner consents, as applicable, and such other documents as reasonably requested by Escrow Agent;

(i) An owner’s title affidavit as to mechanics’ liens and possession and other matters in customary form reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Escrow Agent;
(j) Letter to Tenant in form of Exhibit G attached hereto; and

At Closing, Buyer shall instruct Escrow Agent to deliver the Earnest Money to Seller which shall be applied to the Purchase Price, shall deliver the balance of the Purchase Price to Seller and shall execute and deliver execution counterparts of the closing documents referenced in clauses (b), (e), (f), (g) and (k) above. Buyer shall have the right to advance the Closing upon five (5) business days prior written notice to Seller; provided that all conditions precedent to both Buyer’s and Seller’s
11
respective obligations to proceed with Closing under this Agreement have been satisfied (or, if there are conditions to a party’s obligation to proceed with Closing that remain unsatisfied, such conditions have been waived by such party). Buyer shall have a one-time right to extend the Closing for up to fifteen (15) business days upon written notice to Seller to be received by Seller five (5) business days prior to the to the date scheduled for the Closing. If Buyer timely exercises this right to extend, any document that Seller is obligated to provide that is “time sensitive” does not need to be provided again by Seller. The Closing shall be held through the mail by delivery of the closing documents to the Escrow Agent on or prior to the Closing or such other place or manner as the parties hereto may mutually agree.
11. Representations by Seller. For the purpose of inducing Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the sale and purchase of the Property in accordance herewith, Seller makes the following representations and warranties to Buyer as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:
