In the event Sellers timely elect (or are deemed to have timely elected) not to cure the Disapproved Title Exceptions, then prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period, Buyer may elect: (i) to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof; or (ii) to not terminate this Agreement and the Escrow pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof, in which case those Disapproved Title Exceptions which are not cured and which are not Monetary Obligations which Sellers are obligated to cure on or before the Closing pursuant to Section 5.1(e) hereof, shall be deemed to constitute Permitted Title Exceptions.
Following the timely receipt of a Disapproved Title Exceptions Notice from Buyer, if the Sellers elect to cure one or more of the Disapproved Title Exceptions, then the Sellers shall have until the Cure Deadline to either: (y) cure all of the applicable Disapproved Title Exceptions that Sellers have elected to cure and deliver written notice to Buyer of such cure; or (z) deliver written notice to Buyer of Sellers failure to cure one or more of the Disapproved Title
14
Exceptions that Sellers have elected to cure. In the event Sellers: (A) timely elect to cure one or more of the Disapproved Title Exceptions; and (B) fail to timely cure one or more of the Disapproved Title Exceptions that Sellers have elected to cure on or before the Cure Deadline, provided such Disapproved Title Exceptions are not the result of a breach by Sellers of Section 5.1(e) or Section 5.1(f) hereof, then Sellers shall not be in default under this Agreement and, in such a case, within one (1) Business Day following Buyers receipt of Sellers notice of such failure to cure, Buyer may elect to either: (1) continue this Agreement in effect without modification and purchase and acquire the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, subject to such Disapproved Title Exceptions (which will be deemed to constitute Permitted Title Exceptions); provided, however, in such a case, the Scheduled Closing Date shall automatically be extended to the Extended Closing Date; or (2) terminate this Agreement and the Escrow pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.5(a) hereof, unless one or more of such Disapproved Title Exceptions are the result of a breach by Sellers of Section 5.1(e) or Section 5.1(f) hereof, in which case the provisions of Section 8.6(a) hereof shall govern. Upon any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow pursuant to Section 4.1(c)(2) hereof, in addition to Buyers rights and remedies under Section 8.5(a) or 8.6(a) hereof, as applicable, Buyer shall be entitled to recover from Sellers all of Buyers actual out-of-pocket legal fees, costs and expenses, together with all other due diligence fees, costs and expenses, incurred in connection with this Agreement and its review of the Property.

(iv) Any matters set forth in the Preliminary Title Report and the Survey that are approved by Buyer in accordance with the procedures and within the time periods set forth in Section 4.1(c) hereof.
(v) All New Title Exceptions approved by Buyer pursuant to Section 4.1(d) hereof.
(d) New Title Exceptions. In the event that prior to the Closing, any new title exceptions are discovered by or revealed to Seller, which new title exceptions were not otherwise set forth or referred to in the Preliminary Title Report and/or in the Survey (New Title Exceptions), Sellers shall deliver written notice to Buyer disclosing the existence of such New Title Exceptions, together with copies of all underlying documents. Each such New Title Exception shall be deemed to constitute a Disapproved Title Exception except to the extent
15
Buyer gives Sellers written notice of Buyers approval of one or more New Title Exceptions within five (5) Business Days (but in no event later than the Closing Date) after the date of Buyers receipt of Sellers written notice of the existence of such New Title Exceptions (New Title Exceptions Approval Notice). In the event Buyer timely delivers to Sellers a New Title Exceptions Approval Notice, those New Title Exceptions approved by Buyer pursuant to the New Title Exceptions Approval Notice shall be deemed to constitute Permitted Title Exceptions and the remaining New Title Exceptions shall continue to constitute Disapproved Title Exceptions. On or before the Cure Deadline, Sellers shall either: (i) cause all New Title Exceptions which are not approved by Buyer pursuant to a New Title Exceptions Approval Notice (and which are therefore deemed to constitute Disapproved Title Exceptions) to be cured and deliver written notice to Buyer of such cure; or (ii) deliver written notice to Buyer of Sellers failure to cure one or more of such Disapproved Title Exceptions. A New Title Exception which is deemed to constitute a Disapproved Title Exception shall be deemed to have been cured if Sellers cause such item to be removed from record title to the Real Property prior to the Closing or otherwise cures such New Title Exception as reasonably determined by Buyer.
In the event the Sellers do not timely cure one or more of those New Title Exceptions which are deemed to constitute Disapproved Title Exceptions, then Buyer may elect, at any time on or before the Closing Date, to either: (A) continue this Agreement in effect without modification and purchase and acquire the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, subject to such New Title Exceptions (which will be deemed to constitute Permitted Title Exceptions); provided, however, in such a case, the Scheduled Closing Date shall automatically be extended to the Extended Closing Date; or (B) terminate this Agreement and the Escrow pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.5(a) hereof, unless such New Title Exceptions are the result of a breach by Sellers of Section 5.1(e) or Section 5.1(f) hereof, in which case the provisions of Section 8.6(a) hereof shall govern. Upon any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow pursuant to Section 4.1(d)(B) hereof, in addition to Buyers rights and remedies under Section 8.5(a) or 8.6(a) hereof, as applicable, Buyer shall be entitled to recover from Sellers all of Buyers actual out-of-pocket legal fees, costs and expenses, together with all other due diligence fees, costs and expenses, incurred in connection with this Agreement and its review of the Property.

The continued accuracy in all material respects of the aforesaid representations and warranties is a condition precedent to Buyers obligation to close. If any of said representations and warranties are not correct in all material respects at the time the same is made or as of Closing and Sellers had no knowledge of such inaccuracy when the representation or warranty was made (or when deemed remade at Closing) or if such warranty or representation becomes inaccurate on or prior to Closing other than by reason of Sellers default hereunder, Buyer may, upon being notified in writing by Sellers of such occurrence on or prior to Closing, either: (a) terminate this Agreement and Escrow pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.5(a)
35
hereof; or (b) waive such matter and proceed to Closing. If any of said representations and warranties are not correct in all material respects at the time the same is made or as of Closing, and Sellers had knowledge of such inaccuracy when the representation or warranty was made, or, by Sellers default hereunder caused the representation or warranty to be inaccurate when deemed remade at Closing, Buyer may either: (a) terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.6(a) and recover from Sellers all of Buyers actual out-of-pocket legal fees, costs and expenses, together with all other due diligence fees, costs and expenses, incurred in connection with this Agreement and its review of the Property; or (b) waive the breach and proceed to Closing; provided, however, in such a case, the Scheduled Closing Date shall automatically be extended to the Extended Closing Date.
Section 9.22 Sellers Knowledge Defined. Any reference to Sellers knowledge in this Agreement shall refer only to the current actual knowledge of each Sellers principal, Robert M. Irish, following reasonable inquiry and investigation, which reasonable inquiry and investigation will include, without limitation, contacting the Property Manager and making appropriate inquiries and investigations. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the use of the named individual is solely for the purpose of establishing a standard for measurement of Sellers knowledge, and nothing herein shall impose any personal liability on such individual for any representation, warranty or covenant of Sellers hereunder.

(a) Prorations and Adjustments. The following adjustments and prorations shall be made as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (Proration Date), as though Buyer held title to the Property throughout the entire day in which the Closing occurs. Such adjustments and prorations shall be made on the basis of: (i) a 365-day year with respect to Taxes as provided in Section 11.2(a)(iii) hereof; and/or (ii) the number of days in the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs with respect to Revenues and Operating Expenses as provided in Sections 11.2(a)(i) and (ii), respectively, hereof, subject to the following provisions:
(i) Revenues. All rentals, receipts and other revenues (including, but not limited to, reimbursements for Property Expenses, common area maintenance, real and personal property taxes, insurance and other operating expense reimbursements, if applicable, but excluding percentage rent, if applicable) (collectively, the Revenues), billed to Tenants by Sellers, respectively, as of the Closing, but which are properly allocable to the period after the Proration Date, shall be credited to Buyer at the Closing. To the extent there are any Revenues owing to Sellers, respectively, as of the Closing which relate to periods of time prior to the Proration Date, but which have not actually been collected by Sellers as of the Closing (Delinquent Revenues), Buyer shall not be obligated to pay to Sellers (or give Sellers a credit for), the amount of such Delinquent Revenues on the Closing. All Revenues which are received by Sellers or Buyer subsequent to the Closing Date shall be applied: first, to amounts due to Buyer; and second, to Delinquent Revenues due to Sellers. Each Seller and Buyer hereby agree to promptly remit to the other the amount of any Revenues received and owing to each other pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.2(a)(i). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 11.2 to the contrary, Sellers retain their respective rights to recover Delinquent Revenues, including, without limitation, the right to collect (provided, however, Sellers shall not have the right to file and maintain a lawsuit or other legal proceeding against a delinquent Tenant
37
or evict a delinquent Tenant) the same from delinquent Tenants and/or third parties responsible for payment of such Delinquent Revenues. Buyer, at no cost and expense to Buyer, shall use commercially reasonable efforts (provided such commercially reasonable efforts shall not include an obligation to file and maintain a lawsuit or other legal proceeding against a delinquent Tenant or other third party or to evict a delinquent Tenant) to enforce the provisions of the Leases which require the Tenants to pay to Sellers such Delinquent Revenues.
(ii) Operating Expenses. All costs, fees and expenses (other than management fees and salaries) relating to the operation, management and repair of the Property, excluding Taxes, Leasing Commissions and Tenant Inducement Costs (collectively, the Operating Expenses), shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer at the Closing as of the Proration Date.
(iii) Real and Personal Property Taxes. (A) All general and special real and personal property taxes and assessments (collectively, the Taxes), based on the regular tax bill for the current fiscal year (or, if such tax bill has not been issued as of the date of the Closing, the regular tax bill for the fiscal year preceding the current fiscal year) shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer at the Closing as of the Proration Date. Without limiting the foregoing, any and all accrued and unpaid supplemental or special real property taxes or assessments that relate to any time period prior to the Proration Date shall be the responsibility of Sellers and, if not paid prior to or at Closing, shall be credited to the Buyer at Closing, and any and all supplemental or special real property taxes or assessments that relate to any time period on or after the Proration Date shall be the responsibility of Buyer and if paid by Sellers prior to or at Closing, shall be credited to Seller at Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any supplemental or special real property taxes or assessments are levied prior to Closing, but are due and payable in one or more installments subsequent to the Closing, such supplemental or special real property taxes or assessments shall be allocated on a pro rata basis over the applicable payment period in question and prorated between Sellers and Buyer as of the Proration Date. Notwithstanding any of the terms and conditions to the contrary contained in this Section 11.2(a)(iii), in the event any such Taxes are paid for directly by the Tenants to the applicable taxing authorities, such Taxes shall not be prorated between Sellers or Buyer
(iv) Percentage Rent. Any percentage rent payable under each Lease for the year in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated between Sellers and Buyer as of the Proration Date. Seller and Buyer acknowledge that sufficient information to enable Sellers and Buyer to prorate percentage rent will not be available as of the Closing. Accordingly, the proration contemplated in this Section 11.2(a)(iv) shall be conducted subsequent to the Closing pursuant to Section 11.2(d) hereof.
(v) Assumed Contracts. All Operating Expenses accruing under, arising out of or relating to any of the Assumed Contracts shall be prorated between Sellers and Buyer at the Closing as of the Proration Date.
(b) Property Expense Pass-Throughs. To the extent the Leases require the Tenants to reimburse Sellers for Operating Expenses and/or Taxes (collectively, the Property Expenses), in the event such Property Expenses are reconciled under the terms of the Leases at the end of the calendar year in which the Closing takes place, to reflect the actual Property
38
Expenses incurred for the calendar year, such calendar year shall be deemed to constitute the Reconciliation Period for purposes of this Agreement and the following provisions shall apply:
(i) On or before the Closing, Sellers shall be responsible for computing and comparing on a Tenant-by-Tenant basis and delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth: (A) the amount of Property Expenses incurred and actually paid by Sellers with respect to the Reconciliation Period; and (B) the amount of Property Expenses actually received by Sellers from the Tenants and/or third parties under the Leases with respect to the Reconciliation Period (Pre-Closing Property Expense Reconciliation).
(ii) Within sixty (60) Calendar Days following the expiration of the Reconciliation Period, Buyer shall compute the actual Property Expenses incurred and paid by Sellers and Buyer and the actual Property Expenses reimbursed (or not reimbursed) by the Tenants and/or third parties (whether in the form of estimated payments or otherwise), to Sellers and/or Buyer with respect to the Reconciliation Period (Property Expense Reconciliation). Following the completion of the Property Expense Reconciliation, Buyer shall submit the same to Sellers for Sellers review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event Sellers fails to approve or disapprove of the Property Expense Reconciliation within ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of the same, such Property Expense Reconciliation shall be deemed approved by Sellers. Following the approval (or deemed approval) by Sellers of the Property Expense Reconciliation, Buyer shall forward the Property Expense Reconciliation to the applicable Tenants. Buyer hereby covenants to use reasonable efforts to enforce the provisions of the Leases which require the Tenants and/or third parties to reimburse the landlord for Property Expenses with respect to the Reconciliation Period. To the extent Buyer or either Seller receives any such Property Expense reimbursement payments with respect to the Reconciliation Period, the same shall constitute Revenues and shall be paid to Sellers or Buyer in the manner contemplated in Section 11.2(a)(i) hereof.
(iii) Following the completion of the Property Expense Reconciliation, if the Property Expenses incurred and paid by Sellers for that portion of the Reconciliation Period in question preceding the Closing exceed the reimbursed Property Expenses actually received by Sellers from the Tenants and/or third parties under the Leases (whether in the form of estimated payments or otherwise), with respect to the Reconciliation Period (Property Expense Reimbursement Shortfall), Buyer shall pay to Sellers an amount equal to such Property Expense Reimbursement Shortfall, to the extent that Buyer shall have collected and received such actual identifiable amounts from the Tenants and/or third parties under the Leases, within ten (10) Business Days following Buyers collection and receipt of the same. If the reimbursed Property Expenses received by Sellers from the Tenants and/or third parties under the Leases (whether in the form of estimated payments or otherwise), with respect to the Reconciliation Period preceding the Closing exceed the Property Expenses incurred and paid by Sellers with respect to the Reconciliation Period (Property Expense Reimbursement Surplus), then Sellers shall pay an amount equal to such Property Expense Reimbursement Surplus to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days after Sellers receipt of the Property Expense Reconciliation. Upon Sellers payment to Buyer of any such Property Expense Reimbursement Surplus, Buyer shall be obligated to reimburse or credit the Tenants for such Property Expense Reimbursement Surplus as required under their respective Leases.
39
(iv) Sellers and Buyer hereby agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with any disputes or claims by Tenants concerning the calculation of Property Expenses during the Reconciliation Period.
(c) Security Deposits; Leasing Commissions and Tenant Inducement Costs. All unpaid Leasing Commissions, unpaid Tenant Inducements Costs and Security Deposits under the Leases shall be credited to Buyer at the Closing.
(d) Final Accounting. Sellers and Buyer acknowledge and agree that, on the Closing Date, Sellers and Buyer may not have sufficient information to conduct and complete a final proration of all items subject to proration pursuant to this Section 11.2. Accordingly, Sellers and Buyer agree that, as soon as is reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, Sellers and Buyer shall make a final accounting of all items relating to the Property to be prorated between Sellers and Buyer pursuant to this Section 11.2. In conjunction with the performance of such final accounting, following a request from Seller, Buyer shall provide Sellers with copies of all monthly and other statements sent to the Tenants itemizing amounts owing under the Leases by the Tenants (together with copies of invoices, statements and other supporting documentation evidencing such expenditures and tenant ledgers and related documentation evidencing how Revenues were applied, all as reasonably requested by Sellers). In the event it is determined, pursuant to such final accounting, that any amounts are due and owing by Seller to Buyer, then Sellers shall cause such amounts to be paid to Buyer within ten (10) Calendar Days after such final accounting is completed. In the event it is determined, pursuant to such final accounting, that any amounts are due and owing by Buyer to Sellers, then Buyer shall cause such amounts to be paid to Sellers within ten (10) Calendar Days after such final accounting is completed. All unpaid amounts shall accrue interest at the lesser of: (i) twelve percent (12%) per annum; or (ii) the maximum rate of interest allowable under applicable law, which interest, in either case, shall be deemed to accrue effective as of the date such payment was originally due.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Sellers fail to undertake the defense of the Asserted Liability, Indemnitees may elect to defend (by their own counsel), compromise and/or satisfy such Third Party Claim by delivering written notice of such election to Sellers. Without in any way limiting or reducing the obligations of Sellers pursuant to Section 15.1 hereof, if Indemnitees elect to defend (by their own counsel), compromise and/or satisfy such Asserted Liability, Sellers shall cooperate in the defense, compromise and satisfaction of such Asserted Liability. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the defense, compromise and satisfaction of any such Asserted Liability, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and costs, shall be borne by and shall be the sole responsibility of Sellers.
