Seller shall approve or disapprove the scope and methodology of such proposed testing within three (3) business days after receipt of such notice, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; Seller’s failure to notify Buyer of its disapproval shall be deemed to be Seller’s approval thereof. Buyer shall maintain and shall assure that its contractors maintain, public liability and property damage insurance in amounts and in form and substance adequate to insure against all liability of Buyer, and its agents, employees or contractors (collectively in the case of Buyer, “Agents”) arising out of any entry or inspections of the Property pursuant to the provisions hereof, and upon request by Seller Buyer shall provide Seller with evidence of such insurance coverage. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any costs damage, liability, loss, expense, lien or claim (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) proximately caused by any entry on the Property by Buyer and its Agents in the course of performing the inspections, testing or inquiries provided for in this Agreement, including without limitation, damage to the Property, bodily injury or release of Hazardous Material (as hereinafter defined) onto the Property, but excluding any costs incurred by Seller in supervising Buyer’s testing.

3.4 Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on thirtieth (30th) day following the Effective Date (the “Review Period”) to determine in its sole discretion whether the Property supports the proposed purchase price.

If Buyer fails to give the Review Period Notice within the Review Period, then this Agreement shall be deemed terminated upon the expiration of the Review Period, in which event this Agreement will
3
terminate without liability on the part of Seller or Buyer, other than Buyer’s indemnity contained in Section 3.3 hereof, and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer as provided in the Escrow Instructions. In the event Buyer timely delivers the Review Period Notice, Buyer will be deemed to have elected to proceed with the transaction upon the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, and this Section 3.4 shall have no further force and effect. The Review Period Notice shall contain reference to those Service Contracts that Seller shall be obligated to terminate as of the Closing at Seller’s sole cost and expense.
4. Title. Promptly after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s existing title insurance policies for the Property, Buyer shall order a title commitment on the Property from Escrow Agent (the “Title Insurer”) and a survey. Buyer shall have until the end of the Review Period in which to notify Seller in writing of any objection Buyer may have to any exceptions reported in the title commitment or matters of survey. Other than Curable Title Exceptions (as hereinafter defined) which Seller hereby obligates itself to remove at its sole cost and expense and in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Title Insurer, Seller may either cure any title or survey defect so objected to by Buyer in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyer or promptly notify Buyer that it is unable or unwilling (in its sole discretion) to cure such defects. Except in the case of Curable Title Exceptions, Buyer, within three (3) business days of receipt of such notice, shall, as its exclusive remedy, elect by written notice to Seller one of the following: (i) waive such title and survey objections and proceed to Closing, (ii) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, or (iii) cure the same, at its sole cost and expense. Failure to send a written notice to Seller within such three (3) business day period exercising such election shall be deemed an election to terminate this Agreement. If the objected to exceptions which Seller is unable or unwilling to remove relate to any (i) financing liens, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens caused by Seller, (ii) tax liens relating to the Property, (iii) liens or other title exceptions resulting solely from acts of Seller occurring on or after the Effective Date or (iv) other liens or encumbrances which secure other monetary obligations which in the aggregate do not exceed $200,000 (collectively, “Curable Title Exceptions”), Buyer may discharge the same at Closing and deduct the cost to do so from the Purchase Price and Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in doing so. All title exceptions and survey matters not objected to pursuant to this Section and those which Seller cannot or is unwilling to remove (other than Curable Title Exceptions) and to which Buyer agrees to take subject shall be deemed permitted exceptions. Buyer shall not have the right to object to title or to terminate this Agreement by reason of any title exceptions which are caused by Buyer or its Agents. Buyer shall also have the right to update the effective date of the title commitment prior to Closing, and object to any new title matters reflected in the updated title commitment, in accordance with this Section.

6. Closing.
6.1 The purchase and sale contemplated herein shall close (the “Closing”) at the office of the Escrow Agent on the tenth (10th) day after the Review Period Date (the “Closing Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer shall have the right to accelerate the Closing Date to a date as early as September 30, 2015, by delivery of written
8
notice to Seller at least two (2) days prior to the accelerated Closing Date. The Closing shall occur by delivery of the documents set forth in Section 6.4 and payment of the Purchase Price to Seller. The sale shall be closed through escrow with the Escrow Agent in accordance with the general provisions of the usual form of escrow agreement used in similar transactions by such holder with special provisions inserted (i) as may be required to conform with this Agreement and (ii) to close on a so-called “New York Style” basis. Seller agrees to execute a “gap indemnity” in favor of the Title Insurer if the same is required to close on a “New York Style” basis.
6.2 Buyer reserves the right to take title to the Property in the name of a nominee or assignee, or in the name of one or more of the institutional investors for which Buyer or one of its affiliates is then acting as investment manager (a “Separate Account”) or a nominee or assignee of a Separate Account. In the event the rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder shall be assigned by Buyer to a Separate Account, upon Closing, the assignor shall be released from any obligation or liability hereunder, other than its indemnity contained in Section 3.3, and such Separate Account shall be substituted as Buyer hereunder, shall be entitled to the benefit of and may enforce Seller’s covenants, representations and warranties hereunder as if such Separate Account were the original Buyer hereunder (including the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.4, if then applicable), and shall assume all obligations and liabilities of Buyer hereunder, subject to any limitations of such liabilities and obligations hereunder or provided by law. Upon notification to Seller of any such assignment, Seller’s representations and warranties hereunder shall be deemed remade to the Separate Account as of the date of such assignment.
6.3 Taxes, rental and other income, and operating or other expenses of the Property shall be prorated as of 12:01 a.m. on the day of Closing, with Buyer receiving all income and responsible for all expenses commencing as of such time. At least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date Seller shall supply Buyer with the necessary information to compute or estimate the prorations, including such supporting evidence as Buyer reasonably requests.
6.3.1 All general real estate taxes and assessments (“Taxes”) which constitute a lien or charge on the Property for the tax period in which the Closing Date occurs but are not due and payable as of the Closing Date shall be prorated at Closing (i.e., all Taxes payable with respect to any calendar years prior to the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs shall be paid by Seller and all real property taxes and assessment payable with respect to the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs shall be pro-rated based upon the number of days each that Seller and Buyer will own the Property in the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs). All Taxes for periods prior to the tax period in which the Closing Date occurs shall be paid by Seller on or before Closing or if not yet due, Buyer shall receive a credit therefor. If Closing occurs prior to the receipt by Seller of the tax bill for the Property for the applicable tax period, credit for Taxes shall be based upon the estimated Taxes calculated based upon the most recent ascertainable assessed valuation and tax rates, but not less than the Taxes for the previous period with an adjustment to be made between the parties as provided in Section 6.3.6. In the case of Assessments for which a lien has been imposed on the Real Property as of the Effective Date, Seller shall be responsible for all installments, whether currently due or due subsequent to Closing. If Buyer elects to consummate the transaction pursuant to Section 6.3, all Assessments for which a lien on the Real Property are first imposed after the Effective Date shall be borne by Buyer.
9
6.3.2 Rental (including base rent and all additional rents) and other income, including percentage rents, shall be prorated based solely upon collected amounts. Any uncollected rent and other income shall be prorated when received, and the receiving party shall pay the amount due the other party promptly upon receipt less in the case of delinquent amounts collected by Buyer any reasonable costs of collection (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees). All amounts received shall be first applied to current charges, and the balance shall be applied to make up delinquencies in the reverse order of maturity. Seller shall give Buyer a credit for all tenant cash deposits (for security, pet deposits etc.) held pursuant to the Leases and all interest thereon payable to tenants, if any, which has accrued up to Closing. This provision shall survive the Closing.
6.3.3 As to delinquent rent and other items, Buyer will bill and attempt to collect such amounts in the ordinary course of business but shall not be obligated to expend any money, engage a collection agency or take legal action to collect any such amounts. Seller shall have the right to seek collection of delinquent amounts due Seller, including the right to sue for amounts due, only as to those former tenants whose leases have terminated. This provision shall survive the Closing.
6.3.4 Seller and Buyer shall endeavor to obtain meter readings and account changeovers for the Property on the day before the Closing Date, and if such readings and changeovers are obtained, there shall be no proration of such items. In such event Seller shall pay the bills for the period to and including the day before the Closing Date and Buyer shall pay the bills for day of Closing and thereafter. If meter readings cannot be obtained prior to the Closing Date, utility charges shall be prorated based upon historical utility charges for such month adjusted for current rates and levels of occupancy. Athens-Clarke County Stormwater Management Fees shall be prorated as of the date of Closing.
6.3.5 Any fees and charges pursuant to any Service Contracts relating to the Property which Buyer does not assume at Closing shall be paid by Seller prior to Closing. Fees and charges for Service Contracts which Buyer is assuming shall be prorated.
6.3.6 In the event that final calculations cannot be made for any expense item, including Taxes, and any income item prior to Closing, Buyer and Seller shall estimate the proration at Closing and shall reprorate such items as soon as adequate information is available. Payments in connection with the final adjustments shall be made by Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, within ten (10) days after notice. This Section 6.3.6 shall survive Closing for one year after Closing.
6.3.7 Reserved.
6.3.8 Reserved.
6.3.9 At the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall pay their own respective costs incurred with respect to the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property as contemplated herein, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that Seller shall pay any and all transfer and/or documentary stamp taxes incident to the conveyance of title to the Property to Buyer. Buyer shall pay the cost of the title examination and owner’s title insurance policy premium, including any endorsements that Buyer requires, the survey, recording
10
the deed, any mortgage recording tax and all other taxes, costs, fees or expenses relating to Buyer’s financing of the Property and Buyer’s investigation of the Property.

RECITALS:
A.WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer have entered into that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale on or about the date hereof (the “Purchase Contract”), whereby Seller agreed to sell and Buyer agreed to purchase certain real property located in , more particularly described therein (the “Property”);

WHEREAS, the Purchase Contract obligates Buyer to deposit a letter of credit the “Letter of Credit”) in the sum of Three Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($300,000.00) with the Escrow Agent within three (3) business days after the Effective Date to secure its obligations under the Purchase Contract, the Letter of Credit to be replaced by the Cash Deposit (as hereinafter defined), if the Purchase Contract is not terminated in accordance with Section 3.4 thereof prior to the expiration of the Review Period, (the Letter of Credit and the Cash Deposit, together with any interest earned on the Cash Deposit, shall be referred to herein as the “Deposit”); and
C. WHEREAS, the parties now desire to set forth the terms and conditions of the Escrow.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) in hand paid and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENTS:
1. The parties agree that the Cash Deposit will be placed in an interest-bearing escrow account or other interest bearing instrument which Buyer may elect from among those offered by Escrow Agent. Any interest earned on the Deposit shall be deemed to be part of the Deposit. All checks, money orders or drafts will be processed for collection in the normal course of business. Escrow Agent may initially deposit such funds in its custodial or escrow accounts which may result in the funds being commingled with escrow funds of others for a time; however, as soon as the Cash Deposit has been credited as collected funds to Escrow Agent’s account, then Escrow Agent shall immediately deposit the Cash Deposit into an interest bearing account with any reputable trust company, bank, savings bank, savings association, or other financial services entity approved by Seller and Buyer. Deposits held by Escrow Agent shall be subject to the provisions of applicable state statutes governing unclaimed property. Seller and Buyer will execute the appropriate Internal Revenue Service documentation for the giving of

In the event Buyer terminates the Purchase Contract pursuant to Section 3.4 thereof on or before the end of the Review Period, Escrow Agent shall upon the written request of Buyer deliver the Deposit to Buyer and notify Seller of such disbursement (the “Termination Date”). Any request from Buyer received by Escrow Agent to return the Deposit to Buyer on or before the Termination Date shall constitute Buyer’s election to terminate the Purchase Contract pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Purchase Contract. Buyer shall send a copy of any such request to Seller simultaneously with delivery of such request to Escrow Agent. If the Purchase Contract is not terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Purchase Contract, and Buyer replaces the Letter of Credit with cash in the amount of $800,000.00 (the “Cash Deposit”), then upon Escrow Agent’s receipt of the Cash Deposit, the Letter of Credit shall be returned to Buyer. Escrow Agent shall, no later than two (2) business days prior to the expiry date of the Letter of Credit, draw down the face amount thereof and hold the proceeds as the Deposit in accordance herewith.
3. In the event that either party delivers a request for the Deposit to Escrow Agent after the Termination Date, Escrow Agent shall notify the other party of such request and, if Escrow Agent does not receive a notice from the other within seven (7) days after the Escrow Agent’s notice disputing the disbursement, Escrow Agent shall disburse the Deposit in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract. In the event that any party hereto timely delivers a notice to the other parties hereto disputing a disbursement request, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such disputed funds until Escrow Agent shall receive a joint order from Buyer and Seller requesting such disbursement or Escrow Agent shall receive an order, judgment or decree of any court ordering disbursement. In the event that Escrow Agent complies with any orders, judgments or decrees issued or entered by any court, Escrow Agent shall not be liable to
2
any of the parties hereto by reason of such compliance. In the absence of such a joint order or court order, Escrow Agent may do nothing or may commence an interpleader action as set forth in Section 4 below.

(g) Deponent acknowledges that this Affidavit may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Transferee, that this Affidavit is made under penalty of perjury, and that any false statement made herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both.
5. Under penalty of perjury, I declare that I have examined the foregoing Affidavit and hereby certify that it is true, correct and complete and I further declare that I have the authority to make this affidavit and the certifications contained herein on behalf of the Seller.
