3
from another national title insurance company and, if such title insurance company is willing to provide the Title Policy in the form required hereunder at regular rates, Buyer shall procure such Title Policy, provided either Buyer or Seller may adjourn the Closing for up to fifteen (15) days to procure such Title Policy. Nothing in this Section 3.1.3 shall obligate Seller to deliver any affidavit, indemnity or other instrument except as provided in Sections 4.2 and 5.3.2.

3.1.5 Association Certificate. Seller shall have received an estoppel certificate from the Colgate Center Property Owner Association (the “Association”), confirming that all of Seller’s Association fees are paid and current, it being agreed that Seller’s failure to obtain such estoppel certificate shall not constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement.
3.1.6 Violations. There shall be no uncured violations of law or open permits affecting the Property that would cost, in the aggregate, in excess of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) to cure. If Seller is unable to cure any violations Seller is required to cure under this Section 3.1.6 by the then scheduled Closing, Seller may adjourn the Closing for up to fifteen (15) business days to do so.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, while Buyer may at its own risk attempt to obtain financing with regard to its acquisition of the Property, (i) Buyer’s obtaining, or ability to obtain, financing for its acquisition of the Property is in no way a condition to Buyer’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement and (ii) Buyer’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is in no way dependent or conditioned upon the availability of any financing whether generally in the marketplace or specifically in favor of Buyer and (iii) in no event shall the Closing be delayed on account of Buyer’s obtaining, or ability to obtain, financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer intends to obtain financing and Seller shall cooperate, to the extent commercially reasonable, with all of Buyer’s reasonable requests related to Buyer’s financing, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, and any information provided in connection therewith shall be without any Seller representation or warranty of any kind, including, without limitation, their accuracy or completeness.
3.4 Failure of Condition. In the event of a failure of any of the foregoing conditions precedent, the party for whose benefit the condition exists may (i) if such failure was caused by the default of the other party in performing any obligation or covenant to be performed hereunder or the breach by such other party of any of its representations or warranties, exercise its remedies under Article X hereof, or (ii) if such failure was not caused by the default of the other party in performing any obligation or covenant to be performed hereunder or the breach by such other party of any of its representations or warranties, elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, in which event this Agreement shall terminate except for any obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer.

If Seller notifies or is deemed to have notified Buyer that Seller shall not remove nor have the Title Company insure over any or all of the Title Objections, Buyer shall have the right, exercisable within five (5) business days following receipt (or deemed receipt) of such notice, either to (i) terminate this Agreement due to such Title Objections, in which event Escrow Agent shall refund the Deposit to Buyer and neither party shall thereafter have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those rights or obligations that expressly survive or (ii) waive such Title Objections and proceed to closing without any abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price on account of such Title Objections, in which event such Title Objections shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions for all purposes hereof. If Buyer does not timely give such notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected (ii) above.
5.3.3 General Investigation. In addition, Buyer shall have from the date hereof until the date hereof at 5:00 p.m. New York City Time (the “Investigation Period”) to notify Seller that as a result of Buyer's review of the documents set forth in Section 5.1 (other than the Title Report or the Survey which are covered in Sections 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 above) or Buyer’s investigation of the Property pursuant to Section 5.2 it disapproves the purchase of the Property (which disapproval may be for any reason or no reason whatsoever in Buyer's sole discretion) and has elected to terminate this Agreement. If Buyer fails to give such notice of disapproval and termination prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period, such failure shall be conclusively deemed to be a waiver of Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 5.3.3.
5.4 Effect of Termination. If Buyer terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.3, all further rights and obligations of the parties shall cease and terminate without any further liability of either party to the other (except those obligations which are specifically provided to survive such termination as provided in this Agreement).
5.5 No Obligation to Cure. Nothing contained in this Agreement or otherwise shall require Seller to render its title marketable or to remove or correct any exception or matter disapproved by Buyer or to spend any money or incur any expense in order to do so other than the items set forth in Schedule 5.5 (the “Must-Cure Items”), which Must-Cure Items Seller shall be obligated to remove from title as of the then scheduled Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller may use the Purchase Price at Closing to cure Must-Cure Items and any other items Seller has agreed to cure.
11
5.6 Copies of Third Party Reports. Upon Seller’s request after termination of this Agreement for any reason other than a default by Seller, Buyer, within three days after such request, shall provide Seller with copies of all third party reports and work product generated with respect to the Property provided that such items shall be delivered without representations or warranties to their accuracy or completeness and with no right of Seller to rely thereon without the consent of the third party.
ARTICLE VI
THE CLOSING
6.1 Date and Manner of Closing. Closing Agent shall close the escrow (the “Closing”) as soon as all conditions to closing contained in this Agreement have been satisfied which shall in any event be not later than August 22, 2019 (the “Closing Date”) (subject only to adjournment rights under Sections 3.1.3, 3.1.6, 13.6, 13.9 and 16.19, in either of which events the adjourning party will give the other party not less than three (3) business day’s notice of the date of Closing), by recording and delivering all documents and funds as set forth in Article VIII. Buyer shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for an additional period of thirty (30) days, by providing written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent at least three (3) business day before the scheduled Closing Date, provided that Buyer delivers to Escrow Agent, simultaneously with such notice, an additional deposit of Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000.00), which shall be treated as part of the Deposit for all purposes of this Agreement. In addition to any other rights to extend the Closing Date contained in this Agreement, Buyer or Seller may elect to extend the Closing Date by a period of up to five (5) business days by delivering written notice to the other party at least one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date.
6.2 Delay in Closing; Authority to Close. If Escrow Agent or Closing Agent cannot close the escrow on or before the Closing Date, it shall, nevertheless, close the same when all conditions have been satisfied or waived, notwithstanding that one or more of such conditions has not been timely performed, unless after the Closing Date and prior to the close of the escrow, Escrow Agent receives a written notice to terminate the escrow and this Agreement from a party who, at the time such notice is delivered, is not in default hereunder. The foregoing shall not require the Escrow Agent or Closing Agent to close title in a manner which is contrary to the escrow closing instructions delivered by any party, provided such instructions are in accordance with this Agreement. The exercise of such right of termination, any delay in the exercise of such right, and the return of monies and documents, shall not affect the right of the party giving such notice of termination to pursue remedies permitted under Article X for the other party’s breach of this Agreement. In addition, the giving of such notice, the failure to object to termination of the escrow or the return of monies and documents shall not affect the right of the other party to pursue other remedies permitted under Article X for the breach of the party who gives such notice.

7.1.3 Taxes. Real property tax, assessment (including Special Improvement District Charges) or payment in lieu of taxes refunds and credits received after the Closing which are attributable to a fiscal tax year prior to the Closing shall belong to Seller. Any such refunds and credits attributable to the fiscal tax year during which the Closing occurs shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer when received after deducting the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of collection thereof. If there are any confirmed or unconfirmed one-time special assessments against the Property (other than Special Improvement District assessments), Seller shall pay same if the work giving rise to the assessment was completed prior to the Closing Date, but if the work giving rise to the assessment was not completed prior to the Closing Date, same shall be paid or assumed by Buyer. However, if such assessment is payable in installments, Seller shall be responsible only for those installments that are due and payable prior to the Closing Date.
7.1.4 Security Deposits. At the Closing, Seller shall credit to Buyer an amount equal to all unapplied refundable security deposits (plus interest accrued thereon to the extent required to be paid by the applicable Lease or applicable law) required to be held by Seller under the commercial Leases. If any security deposits shall be held by Seller in the form of letters of credit or surety bonds, Seller shall assign its rights thereunder to Buyer and shall cooperate reasonably with Buyer in respect of the reissuance of any such letters of credit or bonds in the name of Buyer, including, without limitation, by paying any assignment fees. With respect to security deposits under residential Leases, such security deposits shall be
14
held by Seller strictly in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 46:8-19 et seq. in segregated interest bearing accounts in trust for the tenants. At the Closing, such accounts will be assigned from Seller to Buyer, pursuant to forms acceptable to the banking institution where such security deposits are deposited. If such assignment is not permitted by the banking institution, Seller shall deliver to Buyer all unapplied security deposits (plus interest accrued thereon to the extent required to be paid by the applicable law). In addition, Seller shall provide Buyer with a copy of the bank statement for the security deposit account as of the date hereof, and as of the date of Closing.
7.1.5 Utility Accounts. Seller shall close its own utility accounts prior to Closing and pay all amounts due and payable to any utility company at Closing.

7.1.6 Delinquent Rentals; Other Tenant Payments. Delinquent Tenant Payments other than such amounts prorated pursuant to Sections 7.1.1(iii) and (iv), if any, shall not be prorated and all rights thereto shall be retained by Seller, who reserves the right to collect and retain such delinquent Tenant Payments, and Buyer agrees to cooperate with Seller in Seller’s efforts to collect such Tenant Payments, at no cost to Buyer, other than de minimis costs, including, if necessary, joining in any legal action instituted by Seller. Buyer reserves the right to collect any delinquent Tenant Payments for the month in which Closing occurs and any month thereafter. If at any time after the Closing, Buyer shall receive any delinquent Tenant Payments (all of which Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain) to which Seller is entitled, Buyer shall immediately remit such Tenant Payments to Seller, provided that any monies received by Buyer from a delinquent tenant shall be applied first to current rents then due and payable and then to delinquent rents in the inverse order in which they became due and payable. For amounts due Seller not collected within three (3) months after the Closing, Seller shall have the right to sue to collect the same, provided that Seller shall not be entitled to commence any lease termination or eviction proceeding against the delinquent tenant.
7.1.7 Post-Closing True-Up. Any prorations or adjustments of revenue or expenses which cannot be ascertained with certainty as of the Closing (including without limitation taxes and payments in lieu of taxes relating to the Property, operating expenses and additional rent paid by tenants) shall be prorated on the basis of the parties’ reasonable
15
estimate of such amounts and shall be re-prorated once the final amounts are determined. Until the date that is six (6) months after the Closing, Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate in good faith to determine if and to what extent any prorations proved to be incorrect. If any of the prorations or adjustments made pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall prove incorrect for any reason, the party in whose favor the error was made will promptly pay to the other party the amount necessary to correct such error. Seller and Buyer shall each be deemed to have waived any right to seek such readjustment of the prorations if it has not sent written notice to the other party prior to the date that is six (6) months after the Closing of a dispute that has not been resolved. In addition to the foregoing, with respect to the prorations of percentage rent, additional rent, escalation charges or reimbursement for real property taxes or operating expenses under the Leases, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to adjust amounts collected and paid by Seller prior to Closing, to enable Buyer to prepare its year-end reconciliation with tenants, until the date that is one (1) year after the Closing, and the parties shall each be deemed to have waived any right to readjustment of such prorations if it has not sent written notice to the other party prior to the date that is one (1) year after the Closing of a dispute that has not been resolved.

7.4 Reimbursement of Closing Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.2 or 7.3, if, prior to the Closing, Buyer or Seller has paid (or caused to be paid) any closing costs that are the other’s responsibility in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3, as applicable, then at the Closing, the party by which (or on whose behalf) such payment was made shall receive a credit in an amount equal to the other’s proportionate responsibility for such closing costs.

DEFAULT
10.1 Seller’s Remedies. If the sale is not completed as herein provided solely by reason of any material default of Buyer, and such material default has not been remedied by Buyer within ten (10) business days after receipt by Buyer of written notice from Seller specifying the same, Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Buyer, in which event this Agreement shall terminate except for those obligations that expressly survive termination and the parties shall be released from any further obligations hereunder. Insofar as it would be extremely impracticable and difficult to estimate the damage and harm which Seller would suffer due to such failure, and insofar as a reasonable estimate of the total net detriment that Seller would suffer from such failure is the amount of the Deposit, Seller shall retain or cause Escrow Agent to deliver the Deposit to Seller as liquidated damages, which amount is not intended to be and is not a penalty, and which shall be Seller’s sole remedy for damages arising from Buyer’s failure to complete the acquisition. If Seller is released pursuant to this Section 10.1, Buyer shall deliver an instrument confirming such release promptly upon demand of Seller.
10.2 Buyer’s Remedies. If the sale is not completed as herein provided solely by reason of any material default of Seller, and such material default has not been remedied by Seller within ten (10) business days after receipt by Seller of written notice from Buyer specifying the same, Buyer shall be entitled to (i) terminate this Agreement (by delivering written notice to Seller which includes a waiver of any right, title or interest of Buyer in the Property), in which event this Agreement shall terminate except for those obligations that expressly survive termination and the parties shall be released from any further obligations hereunder, and obtain the return of the Deposit, together with, reimbursement by Seller to Buyer of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement, up to $250,000, or (ii) treat this Agreement as being in full force and effect and pursue only the specific performance of this Agreement. Buyer waives any right to pursue any other remedy at law or equity for such default of Seller, including, without limitation, any right to seek, claim or obtain damages, punitive damages or consequential damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and obtain the return
19
of the Deposit if Buyer fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court of competent jurisdiction within sixty (60) days following the earlier of (a) the date of Buyer’s default notice to Seller and (b) the then scheduled Closing Date.

In the event Seller does not resolve its issues with the Deficiency prior to the Extended Closing Date pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii), Buyer and Seller shall close on the Extended Closing Date, withhold the Deficiency from the net proceeds otherwise payable by Buyer to Seller at Closing and the provisions hereof regarding the Tax Escrow shall apply. Any fees of the Escrow Agent with regard to the Tax Escrow shall be paid by Seller. The Closing shall not occur until Buyer and Seller have received a notice of Deficiency or a tax clearance letter from the Division. The terms and conditions of such escrow shall be those set forth in this Section 16.19, together with (to the extent not inconsistent with this Section 16.19) the other protections for the Escrow Agent that are expressly set forth elsewhere in this Agreement. The Tax Escrow shall be maintained until such time as (i) the Director demands, in writing, from the Escrow Agent, payment out of the Tax Escrow (the “Demand”), in which event the amount of the Demand shall be paid by Escrow Agent to the Division in accordance with the next sentence, or, (ii) if the Seller has no State tax debts, the Director issues a letter of tax clearance to the Buyer (who shall immediately provide copies of same to the Seller and the Escrow Agent in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) permitting the release of the Tax Escrow to Seller (the “Clearance Letter”). Upon receipt of the Demand, the Escrow Agent shall provide a copy of the Demand to Seller and Buyer and each of their counsel in accordance with the notice provisions hereof and within two (2) business days of providing same is authorized to pay over to the Division of Taxation the amount required in the Demand, provided that any payments made by the Escrow Agent, at the option of Seller, shall be accompanied by a writing from Seller to the Division indicating that such payment is made under protest and reserving Seller’s rights. In the event that the Demand or any Revised Demand requires payment to the Division of less than all of the Tax Escrow, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the remaining balance until it has received a Clearance Letter, at which time, Escrow Agent is authorized to release the remaining portion of the Tax Escrow held by the Escrow Agent to the Seller. This Section 16.19 shall survive the Closing.

17.2 Disputes. Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Deposit. If there is any dispute as to whether Escrow Agent is obligated to deliver the Deposit or as to whom the Deposit is to be delivered, Escrow Agent shall not make any delivery, but shall hold the Deposit until receipt by Escrow Agent of an authorization in writing, signed by all the parties having an interest in the dispute, directing the disposition of the Deposit, or, in the absence of authorization, Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit until the final determination of the rights of the parties in an appropriate proceeding. Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity or validity of any notice, instruction, instrument, document or other item delivered to it, and it shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with any written notice, direction or instruction given to it under this Agreement and believed by it to be authentic. If written authorization is not given, or proceedings for a determination are not begun, within thirty (30) days after the date scheduled for the closing of title and diligently continued, Escrow Agent may, but is not required to, bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Deposit with a court of the State of New York pending a determination. Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses of any action or proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in its capacity as Escrow Agent, by the party determined not to be entitled to the Deposit. Upon making delivery of the Deposit in the manner provided in this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall have no further liability hereunder. In no event shall Escrow Agent be under any duty to institute, defend or participate in any proceeding that may arise between Seller and Buyer in connection with the Deposit.

Form of FIRPTA Certificate
Transferor’s Certification of Non-Foreign Status
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform [_______], a [_________] (“Transferee”), that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by [____________] (“Transferor”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Transferor:
1. Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Code and the Income Tax Regulations promulgated thereunder);
2. Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations.
3. Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is [INSERT EIN]; and
4. Transferor’s office address is: [INSERT ADDRESS].
Transferor understands that this Certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
Under penalty of perjury I declare that I have examined this Certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.
