Section 6.    Examination of Property. Seller and Buyer hereby agree as follows:
(a)    Title Examination. Buyer shall order a title report or commitment for title insurance (the “Title Report”) from the Title Insurer promptly after the Effective Date. Seller shall deliver a copy of its most recent ALTA survey (which shall be certified), within two (2) business days after the Effective Date, which Buyer shall have the right to have updated and revised to incorporate Buyer’s survey requirements. Before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may furnish to Seller a copy of Buyer’s Title Report and survey, together with a statement specifying any defects in title and/or the survey (the “Objections”). Seller shall notify Buyer within ten (10) days after receipt of the Objections whether Seller will cure the Objections.

6
 



close title without abatement or reduction of the Purchase Price, or (b) terminate this Agreement and obtain a refund of the Earnest Money. If Buyer fails to deliver the Objections to Seller within the Due Diligence Period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to waive its right to make Objections. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement by notice given to Seller or is deemed to have terminated this Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be immediately returned to Buyer, and upon such return, except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the respective parties hereunder shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be solely responsible for the payment or other satisfaction and discharge of record at or before the Closing of all liens and encumbrances against the Property and objected to by Buyer which can be removed by the payment of a fixed and ascertainable sum of money. In the event Seller fails or refuses to cure monetary liens or encumbrances against the Property, Buyer may, but is not obligated to, elect to satisfy such monetary liens or encumbrances and deduct the costs of the cure from the Purchase Price.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, following the Effective Date of this Agreement, Seller shall not create, place, grant, convey, or otherwise voluntarily cause or otherwise consent to any liens, encumbrances or restrictions affecting the Real Property, or any part thereof, to be created, suffered to be placed or recorded against the title to the Real Property, nor will Seller during said period convey any interest in the Property to anyone other than Buyer without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent Buyer may withhold in its absolute discretion. At Closing, Seller will cause the Real Property to be released or otherwise discharged from any lien securing the payment of a sum certain which has been voluntarily created by, or with the consent of, Seller or will bond over said lien to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer and Buyer’s title insurance company sufficient to cause said company to insure over said lien.

If Buyer sends a Gap Notice to Seller, Buyer and Seller shall have the same rights and obligations with respect to such notice as exist in Section 5(a) of this Agreement with respect to the Objection Notice.
(b)    Examination. Within three (3) business days following execution of this Agreement, Seller shall provide to Buyer copies of the following documents and materials pertaining to the Property to the extent within Seller’s possession or readily obtainable by Seller: all items specified on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Primary Diligence Materials”).

assessments, investigations, sampling results and analyses; environmental remediation, monitoring and compliance documentation and permits; environmental notices of noncompliance, violation and penalty; environmental corrective action orders and directives, consent orders, settlement agreements, consent agreements and requests for information; public notices and advertisements regarding the presence, release or threat of a release of Hazardous Substances (as such term is defined in Section 11(o) of this Agreement) at, on, under, to, from or about the Property; all correspondence to or from a third party or a governmental agency regarding a query, any claim or demand related to the environmental condition of the Property or the presence, release or threat of a release of any Hazardous Substances at, on, under, to, from or about the Property; structural reports; soils reports; governmental permits/approvals; zoning information; copies of tax bills; condemnation notices; operating expense information and reports; and utility letters and copies of all correspondence related to the existing leases, plans and specification for the Improvements, and all items specified on Exhibit B attached hereto, and any other documents relating to the Property reasonably requested by Buyer. If such items are not available to or in the possession or control of Seller as of the Effective Date, then Seller shall provide same to Buyer within three (3) business days after acquiring same. All such due diligence items shall be sent to Buyer at the address set forth in Section 1(n), to the attention of Phil Han. Additionally, during the term of this Agreement, Buyer, its employees, contractors, agents and designees, shall have the right to enter the Real Property for the purposes of inspecting and testing the same, and making surveys, mechanical and structural engineering studies, inspecting construction, and conducting any other interviews, 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 materially interfere with the conduct of business at the Property; and provided further, however, that Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims or damages to the extent directly resulting from the activities of Buyer on the Property (but not claims or damages arising out of the findings of such activities), 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. 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 any tenant of the Property in connection with Buyer’s due diligence. Buyer shall give Seller reasonable notice 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 prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which event this Agreement shall become null and void, whereupon Title Insurer shall refund the Earnest Money to Buyer (which obligation and right shall survive such termination), and all rights, liabilities and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall expire, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. If Buyer does not so terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer conclusively shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6(b).
The parties hereto acknowledge that Buyer may expend material sums of money in


 
8
 



reliance on Seller’s obligations under this Agreement in connection with negotiating and executing this Agreement, furnishing the Earnest Money, conducting the inspections contemplated by this Section and preparing for Closing, and that Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement without the availability of the Diligence Period. Therefore, the parties agree that adequate consideration exists to support Seller’s obligations hereunder even before expiration of the Diligence Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the effect of any representations or warranties made by Seller in this Agreement shall not be diminished by any inspections, tests, or investigations made by Buyer.
Section 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 shall be borne by Seller. In the event all or any portion of the Property is damaged in any casualty or condemned or taken, 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 (or 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.
Section 8.    Earnest Money Disbursement. The Earnest Money shall be held by the Title Insurer, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:
(a)    Upon receipt of the Earnest Money, Title Insurer shall deliver to Seller and Buyer written notice confirming Title Insurer’s receipt of the Earnest Money, the date on which Title Insurer received the Earnest Money and that the Earnest Money has been deposited as required by this Agreement. The Title Insurer shall invest the Earnest Money in a money market account reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, and shall promptly provide Buyer and Seller with confirmation of the investments made.
(b)    If the Closing occurs, the Title Insurer shall deliver the Earnest Money to Seller together with all accrued interest thereon at Closing and the same shall be credited against the Purchase Price. If for any reason the Closing does not occur, the Title Insurer shall deliver the Earnest Money together with all accrued interest thereon to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, except where this paragraph expressly provides for notice only from Buyer. Subject to the last sentence of this clause (b), if for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand (the “Demand”) upon the Title Insurer for payment of the Earnest Money, the Title Insurer shall give written notice to the other


 
9
 



party of the Demand within one business day after receipt of the Demand. If the Title Insurer 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 Title Insurer, the Title Insurer is hereby authorized to make the payment set forth in the Demand. If the Title Insurer does receive such written objection within such period, the Title Insurer 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 (b) if Buyer delivers a notice to Title Insurer stating that Buyer has terminated this Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Title Insurer shall immediately return the Earnest Money to Buyer without the necessity of delivering any notice to, or receiving any notice from Seller, and Title Insurer shall do so notwithstanding any objection by Seller.
(c)    The parties acknowledge that the Title Insurer is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Title Insurer shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that the Title Insurer 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 the Title Insurer’s mistake of law respecting the Title Insurer scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Title Insurer harmless from and against all liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of the Title Insurer’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the Title Insurer in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of the Title Insurer. The Title Insurer has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that the Title Insurer has received and shall hold the Earnest Money in escrow, and shall disburse the Earnest Money pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.
(d)    Buyer and Seller, together, shall have the right to terminate the appointment of Title Insurer hereunder by giving to it notice of such termination, specifying the date upon which such termination shall take effect and designating a replacement Title Insurer, who shall sign a counterpart of this Agreement. Upon demand of such successor Title Insurer, the Earnest Money shall be turned over and delivered to such successor Title Insurer, who shall thereupon be bound by all of the provisions hereof. Title Insurer may resign at will and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving notice in writing of such resignation specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect; provided, however, that (i) prior to such resignation a substitute escrow agent is approved in writing by Seller and Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (ii) Title Insurer shall deposit the Earnest Money with a court of competent jurisdiction. After such resignation, Title Insurer shall have no further duties or liability hereunder.
Section 9.    Default
(a)    If Buyer defaults in any of its obligations undertaken in this Agreement or in that certain Closing Agreement to be dated on or about the date hereof between Providence Ventures, LLC, a Mississippi limited liability company (“Providence”) and Buyer relating to the acquisition of the property located at 2175 Orchard Street, Springdale, Arkansas, as


 
10
 



contemplated by that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of May 5, 2014, as amended, as referenced therein (the “Closing Agreement”), and should such default continue for a period of ten (10) business days after the date on which Buyer receives Seller’s written notice of default, then Seller shall be entitled to, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to either: (i) if Buyer is willing to proceed with Closing, waive such default and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; or (ii) declare this Agreement to be terminated, in which event Seller shall be entitled to receive all of the Earnest Money as liquidated damages as and for Seller’s sole and exclusive 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 Properties 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. In no event under this Section or otherwise shall Buyer be liable to Seller for any punitive, speculative or consequential damages.
(b)    If Seller defaults in the performance of its obligations hereunder, or if Providence defaults in the performance of its obligations under the Closing Agreement, and should such default continue for a period of ten (10) business days after the date on which Seller and Providence receives Buyer’s written notice of default, then Buyer may, either waive such default and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof or may in its sole discretion elect to (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon Title Insurer shall return the Earnest Money to Buyer and Seller shall pay to Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation Buyer’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (which obligations shall survive such termination), 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, and terminate the Closing Agreement, (ii) enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder and under the Closing Agreement, or (iii) by notice to Seller given on or before the Closing Date, extend the Closing Date hereunder and under the Closing Agreement for a period of up to thirty (30) days to permit Seller to remedy any such default, and if such extension is given and Seller’s default continues, Buyer shall continue to have all rights and remedies stated herein, at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a willful or intentional default of Seller hereunder, Buyer shall, in addition to the foregoing remedies, be permitted to pursue any and all rights and remedies available to Buyer at law or in equity. Buyer may exercise the foregoing remedies with respect to all of the Properties or anyone of the Properties.
Section 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. It is expected that the parties will not attend Closing and instead will utilize an escrow with Title Insurer. Seller shall prepare


 
11

Unless otherwise provided herein, all notices and other communications which may be or are required to be given or made by any party to the other in connection herewith shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the addresses set out in Section 1, or at such other addresses as specified by written notice delivered in accordance herewith, only by one of the following means: (i) delivered in person, (ii) deposited in the United States mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, (iii) deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier for next business day delivery, or (iv) by electronic mail.

Notices may be given on a party’s behalf by its attorney.
Section 16.    Seller Covenants. Seller agrees that, with respect to each of the Properties it: (a) shall continue to operate and manage each Property in a prudent and businesslike manner and in the same manner in which Seller has previously operated and managed the Property, and in doing so, Seller shall not take any action, or fail to take any action which would cause the Property to be operated, managed and maintained (1) in violation or continued violation of any Laws, (2) in a manner the result of which would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Property or Buyer’s ability to lease to a tenant to continue the operation thereof after the Closing in substantially the same manner as now conducted, or (3) which would cause any of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement to be incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect as of the Closing; (b) shall make all necessary repairs and replacements required to keep the Property in good repair and working order and in substantially the same condition as the date hereof; (c) shall maintain in full force and effect all insurance policies in place with respect to the Property as of the Effective Date; (d) shall not, without Buyer’s prior written consent: (i) amend the current leases of the Property in any manner, nor enter into any new lease, license agreement or other occupancy agreement with respect to the Property; (ii) consent to an assignment of the current leases of the Property or a sublease of the premises demised thereunder or a termination or surrender thereof; (iii) terminate the current leases of the Property nor release any guarantor of or security for any of the current leases of the Property; and/or (iv) cause, permit or consent to an alteration of the Real Property unless such consent is non-discretionary); and (e) shall timely perform all of Seller’s obligations under the current leases of the Property and the Contracts, under all governmental approvals, and under all other agreements relating to the Property including, without limitation, the Declaration of Land Use Restrictive Covenants; and Seller shall comply with all Laws affecting the Property, and duly and timely file all tax reports required to be filed by Seller and promptly pay when due all federal, state and local taxes and assessments, charges, fees, interest and penalties levied on Seller or the Property. Seller shall promptly inform Buyer in writing of any event having a


 
24
 



Material Adverse Effect with respect to Seller’s ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Property, whether insured or not.
Section 17.    Bulk Transfer Tax Clearance. The parties acknowledge that the laws of the state in which the Property is located may require that, as a result of the sale of the Property to Buyer, certain governmental agencies or authorities be notified in advance of the Closing Date, of the proposed assignment and transfer of the Property by Seller to Buyer, and further may require that Seller (and in certain circumstances, Seller’s direct or indirect owners) obtain and/or deliver to Buyer a clearance certificate evidencing the payment by Seller of certain taxes and assessments. Seller will timely give such applicable notices (if any) to such governmental agencies or authorities, in advance of Closing, as required under such laws, and shall use their its best efforts to promptly obtain and deliver to Buyer such applicable clearance certificates, if any, by the Closing Date. The parties further acknowledge that, as a result of procedures for the administration of applications for such clearance certificate, and anticipated delays therein, it may not be possible for Seller to obtain and deliver such clearance certificate as of the Closing Date, or for some period of time thereafter. Seller shall nevertheless deliver to Buyer at Closing evidence reasonably acceptable to Buyer and to the Title Insurer that such applicable notices (in proper form) have been timely delivered and, if such notices are statutorily required, that all tax returns for periods prior to the tax fiscal year(s) in which the Closing occurs have been filed with and all taxes paid to all applicable governmental authorities. Seller also shall promptly request and upon receipt (but at least three (3) business days before the Closing Date) deliver to Buyer a Tax Lien Certificate, issued by the Department of Revenue of the State in which the Property is located evidencing that no liens or claims for unpaid taxes have been assessed against Seller or the Property. Seller agrees to act in good faith and with reasonable diligence to apply for, obtain and (upon receipt) deliver to Buyer (with copies to the Title Insurer) all statutorily required clearance certificates at or as soon after the Closing Date as is reasonably possible. If any such clearance certificate is not available at the Closing, the failure to deliver such clearance certificate shall not constitute a deficiency in the quality of title that Seller is required by this Agreement to convey, provided that the Title Insurer shall raise no exception therefor in the title policy, and provided further that (i) no liens or claims for unpaid taxes shall then have been assessed against Seller or the Property, and (ii) Seller delivers to the Title Insurer and Buyer at Closing a written indemnification agreement in form and content, and issued by Seller and/or a party, reasonably acceptable to Buyer and its counsel relating to liabilities that may arise against Buyer and the Property as a result of the Seller’s failure to obtain and deliver such clearance certificates as of the Closing.
Section 18.    Computation of Time; Performance on Business Days. In computing any period of time pursuant to this Agreement, the day of the act or event from which the designated period of time begins to run will not be included. The last day of the period so computed will be included, unless it is a Saturday, Sunday or a Holiday, in which event the period runs until the end of the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or such Holiday. The term “business day” shall mean Monday through Friday, except for a Holiday. The term “Holiday” shall mean Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day and any other day in which a majority of federal or national banks are not open for business. All references to a period of days herein shall be deemed to refer to calendar days unless the term “business day” is used.

Section 19.    Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement and the Closing Agreement constitute the entire agreements among the parties hereto and no modification of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed by Seller and Buyer. No signature of Title Insurer shall be required to amend this Agreement except for an amendment modifying the terms of Section 8 of this Agreement. No prior agreement or understanding pertaining to the subject matter hereof (including, without limitation, any letter of intent executed prior to this Agreement) shall be valid or of any force or effect from and after the date hereof. Any rule of construction which provides that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply to the interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 20.    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall be invalid or unenforceable, at any time or to any extent, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby. Each provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law
Section 21.    Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the State in which the Property is located, without giving effect to any state’s conflict of laws principles.
Section 22.    Broker’s Commissions. Buyer and Seller each hereby represent that, except for the Broker listed herein, there are no other brokers involved or that have a right to proceeds in this transaction. Seller shall be responsible for payment of commissions to the Broker pursuant to a separate written agreement executed by Seller. Seller and Buyer each hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from all loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees at both trial and appellate levels) incurred by the other as a result of any claim arising out of the acts of the indemnifying party (or others on its behalf) for a commission, finder’s fee or similar compensation made by any broker, finder or any party who claims to have dealt with such party (except that Buyer shall have no obligations hereunder with respect to any claim by Broker). The representations, warranties and indemnity obligations contained in this section shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
Section 23.    Assignment. Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement, provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder. If this Agreement relates to more than one Property, Buyer may assign this Agreement in part with respect to individual Properties to facilitate the acquisition of each Property by a separate entity formed by Buyer with respect to each Property.    
Section 24.    Attorneys’ Fees. In any action between Buyer and Seller as a result of a party’s failure to perform or a default under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party, and the other party shall pay to the prevailing party, the prevailing party’s attorneys’ fees, expenses and court costs incurred in such action.
Section 25.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become a binding agreement when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and


 
26
 



delivered to the other party. Signatures on this Agreement which are transmitted electronically shall be valid for all purposes; provided, however, any party shall deliver an original signature on this Agreement to the other party upon request.
Section 26.    Anti-Terrorism; OFAC. Neither Buyer or Seller, nor any of their affiliates, are in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law (as hereinafter defined) or engages in or conspires to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law. “Anti-Terrorism Laws” shall mean any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, including: Executive Order No. 13224; the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56, as the same has been, or may hereafter be, renewed, extended, amended or replaced; the applicable laws comprising or implementing the Bank Secrecy Act; and the applicable laws administered by the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (as any of the foregoing may from time to time be amended, renewed, extended, or replaced).
Section 27.    Buyer’s Disclosures. Seller acknowledges that Buyer is, and/or may assign this Agreement to one or more subsidiaries of, an entity that is a Real Estate Investment Trust and that, as such, it may be subject to certain filing and reporting requirements in accordance with federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to, regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the provisions of any other existing agreement between the parties hereto to the contrary, Buyer may publicly file, disclose, report or publish any and all information related to this transaction that may be reasonably interpreted as being required by federal law or regulation.
Section 28.    No Third Party Beneficiaries. BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THERE ARE NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND, ACCORDINGLY, NO THIRD PARTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY BROKER) SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF SUCH THIRD PARTY OR AGAINST THE INTERESTS OF BUYER OR SELLER. EITHER OF SELLER OR BUYER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY ANY SUCH THIRD PARTY AGAINST SELLER OR BUYER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THE PARTIES’ INTENTIONS.
Section 29.    Time of Performance. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
Section 30.    Further Assurances. Each party hereto agrees that, from and after the Closing, upon the reasonable request of the other party hereto and without further consideration, such party will execute and deliver to such other party such documents and further assurances and will take such other actions (without cost or liability to such party) as such other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the purpose and intention of this Agreement, including, but not limited, to the effective consummation of the transactions contemplated under the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of the Section 32 shall survive Closing.

Section 31.    Consequential Damages. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall be entitled to recover (and in no event shall either party be responsible for) lost profits or consequential, special or any other indirect damages arising from this Agreement or either party’s obligations under this Agreement.
Section 32.    Jury Waiver. BUYER AND SELLER EACH DO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, OR UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE DOCUMENTS DELIVERED BY BUYER OR SELLER AT CLOSING, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ANY ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY MANNER WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS OR DEFENSES ASSERTING THAT THIS AGREEMENT WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE). THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO AND ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING OF TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 33.    Cooperation with S-X 3-14 Audit and Comfort Letter. Seller acknowledges that Buyer intends to assign all of its rights, title and interest in and to this Agreement, and that the assignee may be affiliated with a publicly registered company (“Registered Company”) promoted by Buyer. Seller acknowledges that it has been advised that if the Buyer is affiliated with a Registered Company, the assignee may be required to make certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Filings”) that relate to the most recent pre-acquisition fiscal year (the “Audited Year”) and the current fiscal year through the date of acquisition (the “stub period”) for the Property. To assist the assignee in preparing the SEC Filings, the Seller covenants to provide the assignee with the following during the Due Diligence Period and for one (1) year thereafter: (i) access to bank statements for the Audited Year and stub period; (ii) rent roll as of the end of the Audited Year and stub period; (iii) operating statements for the Audited Year and stub period; (iv) access to the general ledger for the Audited Year and stub period; (v) cash receipts schedule for each month in the Audited Year and stub period; (vi) access to invoices for expenses and capital improvements in the Audited Year and stub period; (vii) accounts payable ledger and accrued expense reconciliations; (viii) check register for the 3-months following the Audited Year and stub period; (ix) all leases and 5-year lease schedules; (x) copies of all insurance documentation for the Audited Year and stub period; (xi) copies of accounts receivable aging as of the end of the Audited Year and stub period along with an explanation for all accounts over 30 days past due as of the end of the Audited Year and stub period; (xii) signed representation letter in the form attached hereto as Schedule “33-A” (“Representation Letter”), (xiii) to the extent necessary, a signed audit letter in the form attached hereto as Schedule “33-B”(“Audit Letter”), and (ix) to the extent necessary, a comfort letter in the form reasonably requested by Buyer. Seller also agrees to deliver a signed Representation Letter and signed Audit Letter to Buyer within five (5) business days prior to Closing, and such delivery shall be a condition to Closing so long as such Representation Letter and Audit Letter are requested from Seller within ten (10) days after the Effective Date. The provisions of this Section 33 shall survive Closing.
