AGREEMENTS:
IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and of the benefits to be derived herefrom, receipt whereof is hereby severally acknowledged, for Ten Dollars ($10.00), and Seller acknowledges that it has received, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:
1. Offer. Purchaser hereby offers and agrees to purchase the Properties together with all improvements thereon and appurtenance thereto pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Included in this sale are all tenements, hereditaments, privileges and appurtenances thereto belonging or in any way appertaining thereto including, if any, all right, title and interest of Seller in any street, road or avenue, open or proposed, in front of or adjoining the Properties, or any part thereof; all water, air, riparian, oil, gas and other minerals and mineral rights; the use of appurtenant easements, whether or not of record, strips and rights of way abutting, adjacent, contiguous or adjoining the Properties; and all assignable licenses, franchises, rights and governmental or other permits, authorizations, consents and approvals, including those necessary to own and/or operate the Properties. The Properties and all of the foregoing are referred to herein as the “Subject Premises.” After the Effective Date, Purchaser may unilaterally update the legal descriptions and depictions of the Properties on both Exhibit “A” and Exhibit “B” as information is provided by the Title Company (as defined below) and these updates shall not impact Purchaser’s ability to specifically enforce this Agreement pursuant to Section 15 below.
2. Acceptance. Seller hereby accepts the offer of the Purchaser. Such offer and acceptance are subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
3. Purchase Price. Purchaser agrees to pay, as the purchase price for the Subject Premises, the amounts listed on Exhibit A to the Asset Purchase Agreement as the “Purchase Price for Owned Real Property,” as adjusted pursuant to Exhibit A to the Asset Purchase Agreement, if applicable (the “Purchase Price”). Any allocation of the Purchase Price among the assets transferred hereunder that is required pursuant to Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Purchaser agrees to pay the Purchase Price to Seller, plus or minus closing adjustments, as the case may be, in wire transferred funds to First American Title Insurance (“Escrow Agent”) at Closing (as defined below) in exchange for a “Special Warranty Deed” conveying fee simple, marketable title to Purchaser, free and clear of any and all liens or encumbrances except the Permitted Exceptions (as defined below). Any existing liens (excepting the lien of ad valorem taxes prorated according to this Agreement), land contracts and mortgages shall be discharged and released at Closing, with payments made directly to any lenders on the Properties (“Existing Encumbrances”), with Seller being responsible for any prepayment penalties and release charges associated therewith.
4. Evidence of Title.
A. Title Commitment. First American Title Insurance Company shall act as the “Title Company.” Purchaser, at its cost, may cause a Survey (as defined below) to be prepared of the Properties. Seller shall place an order with the Title Company for a commitment (the “Commitment”) for the issuance of an ALTA Owner’s Title Insurance Policy (“Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance”) on the Effective Date. In furtherance of the foregoing, and not as a limitation thereof, the Commitment, Survey and the state of title reflected thereby shall be such that the Title Company will issue an “ALTA Owner’s Extended Title Insurance Policy” (as defined by the Title Company) without exception other than the Permitted Exceptions.
B. Survey. As soon as possible after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain a current ALTA/NSPS survey of the Subject Premises (the “Survey”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be entitled to extend either the Inspection Period (as defined below) or the Closing Date (as defined below) in order to obtain a Survey.

C. Seller’s Materials. Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered the information listed on Exhibit “C” attached hereto to the extent that such items are in Seller’s possession or reasonable control.
D. Objections. If objection to the Commitment (and, if applicable, the Survey) is made by the date that is no later than five (5) business days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period (the “Title Objection Period”), stating that there are Title Defects (as defined below) shown in the Commitment or the recorded exception documents or shown in the Survey (“Objections”), Seller shall have three (3) business days from Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s Objections to either (i) remedy the Title Defects in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser in all respects, or (ii) notify Purchaser that Seller is unable or not willing to remedy the Title Defects (“Seller’s Response”). Within two (2) business days of Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s Response, Purchaser shall elect to either (i) terminate the Agreement, or (ii) waive such Title Defects and proceed with this transaction subject thereto (in which case, any such Title Defects shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions) and, provided further, that in the event that any such Title Defect(s) are Existing Encumbrances, if such defects are not paid or satisfied by Seller at or before Closing, Purchaser may, at its option, pay such amounts and receive credit against sums due to Seller at Closing. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller pursuant to option (i) in the preceding sentence, Seller and Purchaser shall be relieved of any and all liability hereunder, except as provided herein. If Purchaser does not notify Seller of a particular Title Defect within the Title Objection Period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the matters identified in the Commitment and the Survey which Purchaser did not timely object to. “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean all the matters identified in the Commitment, items of record and shown in the Survey that (i) Purchaser did not timely object to, or (ii) are waived by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this paragraph.
As used herein, a Title Defect” shall mean any material matter that would (a) render title unmarketable or unfinanceable as such terms are commonly and reasonably used in the local market where the applicable individual Property is located, (b) constitute a lien on the Properties which cannot be satisfied by the payment of a liquidated sum or (c) restrict the Properties from being used for the Intended Use (as defined below). Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that upon receipt of the Commitment from the Title Company, the legal descriptions for the Properties provided in the Commitment shall automatically be inserted into Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof. First American Title Insurance Company, as both Escrow Agent and Title Company, shall perform in accordance with this Agreement and separate undertakings as executed by the parties from time to time.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, if a party’s default causes the failure of a condition precedent to the other party’s obligation to close, such other party shall be entitled to exercise the remedies for such default as provided in Section 15 hereof. The Closing shall take place via escrow with Title Company. Each party shall deposit its respective closing documents and funds into the escrow and need not be present in person at the office of the Title Company for the Closing to occur.
