After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (as defined in Section 3.2 below), and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Buyer unless escrow fails to close due to Seller’s breach or default under this Agreement which is uncured within the period provided in Section 6.2 below, a failure of a representation or warranty by Seller to be true and correct as of the Closing in any material respect or due to the failure of any other condition precedent set forth in Section 5.4 below, and shall constitute liquidated damages to Seller if escrow fails to close as a result of Buyer’s default as provided in Section 6.1 below.

ARTICLE 6
TERMINATION AND DEFAULT
6.1 Buyer Default. If the sale contemplated hereby is not consummated because of either: (a)_a default by Buyer in its obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (b) a failure of a condition to Seller’s performance set forth in Section 5.5 which has not been waived by Seller and the failure of which was caused by the willful conduct of Buyer, in each case after Seller has performed or tendered performance of all of its material obligations in accordance with this Agreement, then: (a) this Agreement shall terminate; (b) the Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be paid to and retained by Seller as liquidated damages; and (c) Seller and Buyer shall have no further obligations to each other except those which survive the termination of this Agreement, including without limitation, Buyer’s obligation of indemnity under Section 3.1 above; provided, however, that this provision will not limit Seller’s right to receive reimbursement for attorney’s fees pursuant to Section 9.8 below in connection with any legal proceedings instituted by either party or Escrow Agent with respect to the enforcement of this Agreement, nor waive or affect Buyer’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement or Seller’s rights to enforce those indemnity obligations, nor waive or affect any of Buyer’s other obligations under this Agreement to be performed after the Closing or
22
Seller’s rights to enforce those obligations.

If prior to Closing Seller fails to perform any of its obligations or is otherwise in default hereunder or willfully causes the failure of a condition precedent pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof and fails to cure the same within five (5) days after written notice and/or if the sale contemplated hereby is not consummated because of a default by Seller in its obligation to sell the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement after Buyer has performed or tendered performance of all of its material obligations in accordance with this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to exercise any or all of the following exclusive remedies:
6.2.1 Waive such failure and proceed to the Closing with no reduction in the Purchase Price; provided, however, that this provision will not limit Buyer’s right to receive reimbursement for attorney’s fees pursuant to Section 9.8 below in connection with any legal proceedings instituted by either party or Escrow Agent with respect to the enforcement of this Agreement, nor waive or affect Seller’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement or Buyer’s rights to enforce those indemnity obligations, nor waive or affect any of Seller’s other obligations under this Agreement to be performed after the Closing or Buyer’s rights to enforce those obligations.
6.2.2 Commence an action for specific performance within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date to cause Seller to convey the Property to Buyer pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) terminate this Agreement and receive back the Deposit.

The word “including” shall not be restrictive and shall be interpreted as if followed by the words “without limitation.”
9.14 Business Day. As used herein, the term “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday and any day which is a legal holiday in the State of Arizona.
9.15 Construction of Agreement. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared primarily by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both Buyer and Seller have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement.
9.16 Severability. The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Agreement comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision in this Agreement is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal law, statute, ordinance, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, or if in any other respect such a court declares any such provision to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that, consistent with and with a view towards preserving the economic and legal arrangements among the parties hereto as expressed in this Agreement, such provision shall be given force and effect to the fullest possible extent, and that the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable provision were not contained herein, and that the rights, obligations and interests of the parties under the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
9.17 Exclusivity. After the Due Diligence Period and deposit of the Additional Deposit, Seller and its respective agents, representatives and employees shall immediately cease all marketing of the Property until such time as this Agreement is terminated and Seller shall not
27
directly or indirectly make, accept, negotiate, entertain or otherwise pursue any offers for the sale of the Property.
9.18 Section 1031 Exchange. Either party may consummate the purchase or sale of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (an “Exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provided that (i) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of an Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of any Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to a party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) any party desiring an Exchange shall effect its Exchange through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary and the other party shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished or replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating such Exchange; and (iii) the party desiring an Exchange shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by Buyer or Seller had such party not consummated its purchase or sale through an Exchange. Neither party shall by this agreement or acquiescence to an Exchange desired by the other party (1) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or (2) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the other party that such party’s Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Code. In connection with such cooperation, Seller agrees, upon request of Buyer to “direct deed” for actual interests in the property to designees of Buyer.
9.19 Rule 3-14 Audit and SEC Filing Requirements. Subsequent to the Closing Date and no later than one (1) calendar year subsequent to the Closing Date, Buyer’s auditor may conduct an audit, as may be required of Buyer pursuant to Rule 3-14 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X (the “Audit”), of the income statements of the Property for the last complete fiscal year immediately preceding the Closing Date and the stub period through the Closing Date (the “Audit Period”). Seller shall reasonably cooperate (at no cost or liability of any kind to Seller) with Buyer’s auditor in the conduct of the Audit. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) Buyer or its designated independent or other auditor may audit the operating statements of the Property, at Buyer’s expense and, upon Buyer’s reasonable prior written request, Seller shall allow Buyer’s auditors reasonable access to such books and records maintained by Seller in respect to the Property and pertaining to the Audit Period as necessary to conduct the Audit; and (b) Seller shall use reasonable efforts to provide to Buyer such existing financial information as may be reasonably required by Buyer and required for Buyer’s auditors to conduct the Audit, provided, however, that the ongoing obligations of Seller shall be limited to providing such information or documentation as may be in the possession or control of Seller, the Seller’s accountants or the applicable property or asset manager, at no cost or liability of any kind to any of such parties, and in the format the Seller has maintained such information.
