R E C I T A L S:

WHEREAS, Seller is the owner of the Property (as hereinafter defined); and

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Seller desires to sell to Purchaser the Property and Purchaser desires to purchase the Property from Seller.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth, to be kept and performed by the parties hereto, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1.          Sale of Property; Purchase Price:
 
(a)       Seller hereby agrees to sell and Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase that certain real property located at Tract Twelve, New Town Commerce Center, 4041 S.W. 47 S Avenue, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 33314 in Broward County, Florida, more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto, together with all buildings, improvements and fixtures thereon and all appurtenances, rights of way, privileges, easements and other rights benefiting or pertaining thereto and all right, title and interest of the Seller thereto (collectively, the “Property”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
 
(b)        The purchase price for the Property shall be $3,600,000 (the “Purchase Price”), subject to prorations, credits and other adjustments provided herein.
 
SECTION 2.          Inspection Period:
 
(a)        From the Effective Date until the Closing (the “Inspection Period”) Purchaser shall have the right to conduct all reasonable investigations and inspections of the Property that Purchaser deems necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, inspections and investigations regarding all matters concerning title, survey, zoning, special use permits, variances, subdivision laws, environmental matters (including a Phase 1 environmental assessment), review and approval of contracts and financial matters affecting the Property, existence of all required licenses, permits and approvals to permit operation of Purchaser’s or its assignee’s business on the Property, approval of the condition of the Property, all soil, landscaping and other physical conditions of the Property, availability and sufficient quantities of all utilities, and other matters relating to the suitability of the Property for Purchaser’s or its successors’ intended use, as determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion.
 

(b)         During the Inspection Period, Seller hereby grants to Purchaser and its agents and contractors full access to the Property, upon reasonable advance written notice to Seller (but not less than 24 hours), in order to conduct such inspections and tests as Purchaser deems reasonably necessary or appropriate.  In performing its due diligence, Purchaser agrees not to unreasonably damage the Property or unreasonably interfere with the business operations conducted at the Property.
 
(c)          Seller shall cooperate in good faith with Purchaser during the Inspection Period.
 
(d)         No later than five (5) business days following the Effective Date, Seller shall provide to Purchaser for its review, all information and documentation regarding the Property that is in the possession or control of Seller, its affiliates and property managers (the “Due Diligence Materials”), including, but not limited to, any existing survey, deed, title insurance policy, copies of title exception documents of record, existing environmental, property condition and engineering reports, plans and specifications, declarations, reciprocal easement agreements, restrictive covenant agreements, zoning letters, variances, exceptions, special use permits, development agreements, impact fee agreements, warranties and third party reports or agreements related to the Property and in Seller’s possession.   Seller represents to the best of Seller’s knowledge that the Due Diligence Materials constitute all of the information and documentation relating to the Property that is in Seller’s possession or control.
 
(e)         If, during the Inspection Period, Purchaser’s due diligence discloses any condition or circumstance with respect to the Property that, in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, would be expected to constitute a material liability under, or violation of, any law, rule or regulation (including any Environmental Law) or materially impair, or increase the cost of, the operation of the business of the Target Company (as defined below) as currently conducted, then Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s election, terminate this Agreement, in which event the parties will have no further obligations hereunder, except as to matters which expressly survive as set forth in this Agreement.
 
(f)         Purchaser shall restore any damage to the Property caused by Purchaser’s due diligence.  Purchaser hereby indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and court costs and any mechanic’s liens or claims of lien) arising from any inspections, examinations and/or tests (including, without limitation, the Phase I) conducted by or on behalf of Purchaser in connection with the Property.  The foregoing indemnity provisions shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.
 
(g)         Purchaser will have during the Inspection Period the opportunity to investigate such matters pertaining to the Property and to inspect the Property to the extent that Purchaser has deemed necessary.  Accordingly, if Purchaser does not timely terminate this Agreement in accordance with subsection 2(e) above, Purchaser shall accept the Property in its “AS IS” condition on the Closing Date, “with all faults” and specifically and expressly without any reduction in the Purchase Price for any change in such condition for any reason subsequent to the date of this Agreement.  The provisions of this subsection 2(g) shall survive Closing and any earlier termination of this Agreement. PURCHASER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER HAS NOT, DOES NOT AND WILL NOT MAKE, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW, INCLUDING, BUT IN NO WAY LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY OF CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY, HABITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, OR WITH RESPECT TO THE VALUE, PROFITABILITY, MARKETABILITY OR ACREAGE OF THE PROPERTY.  In entering into this Agreement, Purchaser has not been induced by and has not relied upon any such representations, warranties or statements, whether express or implied, written or oral, made by Seller.  The provisions of this subsection 2(g) shall survive Closing and any earlier termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.          Title Insurance and Survey:
 
(a)       Purchaser shall have the right to obtain (i) an owner’s title insurance commitment in the amount of the Purchase Price (the “Title Commitment”) and (ii) a survey of the Property (the “Survey”).  Such matters as are disclosed by the Title Commitment or Survey and not objected to by Purchaser (or objected to and later waived by Purchaser) are herein referred to as the “Permitted Exceptions”. The title insurance company (“Title Company”) engaged for the issuance of the Title Commitment, and performance of other title company related matters and closing services, shall be selected by Purchaser.
 
(b)         During the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall advise Seller in writing of any defects or objections affecting the title to the Property or the use thereof by Purchaser disclosed by the Title Commitment or the Survey, or any updates thereto (the “Title Objections”).  Seller shall use best efforts to eliminate all Title Objections by the Closing Date including, without limitation by taking such actions as are reasonable and necessary to satisfy all the B-1 requirements in the Title Commitment within its control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be required to cause to be released, satisfied, and removed of record as of the Closing Date: (i) any Title Objections which have been voluntarily recorded or otherwise placed, or permitted to be placed, by Seller against the Property (other than with the prior written approval of Purchaser); (ii) any mortgages, deeds of trust, security instruments, financing statements, or other instruments which evidence or secure indebtedness, judgments, and liens against the Property, including, without limitation, mechanics’ liens, tax liens and real estate taxes, water rates, and sewer rents and taxes, in each case, which are due and payable but which remain unpaid or of record as of the Closing Date (subclauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the "Voluntary Liens"); and (iii) any Title Objections which would not constitute Voluntary Liens, but which can be removed by the payment of a liquidated sum of money (items set forth in this subclause (iii), collectively, "Monetary Liens"; and, together with the Voluntary Liens, the "Mandatory Title Removal Items").
 
(c)         If Seller satisfies all Title Objections prior to Closing Date, then the transaction contemplated hereby shall be closed in accordance with its terms.  If Seller fails to eliminate any Title Objection by the Closing Date, Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s election, (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the parties will have no further obligations hereunder, except as to matters which expressly survive as set forth in this Agreement, or (ii) close the transaction contemplated hereby without regard to such unsatisfied Title Objections, in which event such unsatisfied Title Objections shall constitute Permitted Exceptions.
 
(d)        Notwithstanding Section 3(c) above, if Seller fails to eliminate any Mandatory Title Removal Items by the Closing Date, such failure shall, at Purchaser’s election, constitute a default of Seller pursuant to Section 6(a) below and, in addition to the remedies set forth in Section 3(c) above and all other remedies available under this Agreement, shall entitle Purchaser to reduce the Purchase Price by an amount equal to the costs and reasonable expenses incurred by Purchaser to eliminate such outstanding Mandatory Title Removal Items.
 
3

(e)          As a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close the transaction contemplated hereby, the Title Company shall be irrevocably committed, as reasonably determined by Purchaser, to issue the Title Insurance Owner’s Policy for the Property at Closing in the amount of the Purchase Price subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. In the event of the non-fulfillment of the foregoing condition precedent, Purchaser, at Purchaser’s option, may elect to terminate this Agreement at any time without penalty by notice in writing to Seller.
