Each policy of insurance shall name Seller as an additional insured. Further, each policy of insurance shall state that such policy is primary and noncontributing with any insurance carried by Seller. Such policy shall contain a provision that the naming of the additional insured shall not negate any right the additional insured would have had as a claimant under the policy if not so named and shall contain severability of interest and cross-liability clauses. A certificate, together with any endorsements to the policy required to evidence the coverage which is to be obtained hereunder, shall be delivered to Seller prior to entry on the Property. The certificate shall expressly provide that no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice shall be given Seller in the event of any material alteration to or cancellation of the coverages evidenced by said certificate. A renewal certificate for each of the policies required in this Section shall be delivered to Seller not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the term of such policy. Any policies required by the provisions of this Section may be made a part of a blanket policy of insurance with a per project, per location endorsement so long as such blanket policy contains all of the provisions required herein and does not reduce the coverage, impair the rights of the other party to this Agreement or negate the requirements of this Agreement. |
5.6 | During the course of its performance of the Inspections, Buyer will acquire knowledge concerning the Property or Seller, or knowledge of other matters of a sensitive business nature (collectively, Privileged Information).

In the event that Buyer believes in good faith that it is required by any legal requirement to disclose any such Privileged Information, then Buyer shall immediately notify Seller of such belief and the reasons for such belief. If Seller within 10 days after receipt of such notice, advises the party that sent the notice that Seller shall itself disclose the information, then Buyer shall not make such disclosure (unless either such party reasonably believes that it must disclose such information by law). If Buyer reasonably believes that such disclosure is required to be made in less than the 10-day period, then the notice to Seller shall so state and Sellers time to respond will be reduced accordingly. |
5.7 | The obligations of Buyer described in this Article shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement. |
6. | Approval. |
6.1 | Buyer shall have fifteen (15) days from the Effective Date (Inspection Period) to approve or disapprove the Inspections. If Buyer shall fail to notify Seller and Escrow Holder of its disapproval of the Inspections in writing within the Inspection Period, the condition of the Property shall be deemed approved. If Buyer shall disapprove the Inspections within the Inspection Period this Agreement and the Escrow shall thereupon be terminated. Buyer shall thereafter not be entitled to purchase the Property, Seller shall not be obligated to sell the Property to Buyer and the parties shall be relieved of any further obligation to each other with respect to the Property, except as provided in Paragraph 5. |
6.2 | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer hereby agrees that, in the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason, then Buyer shall promptly and at its sole expense return to Seller all Due Diligence Items which have been delivered by Seller to Buyer in connection with the Inspections, along with copies of all reports, drawings, plans, studies, summaries, surveys, maps and other data prepared by third parties relating to the Property, subject to restrictions on Buyers ability to make any such materials available to Seller that are imposed in any agreement with a third party consultant preparing any such reports or materials (Buyers Reports); provided, however, that delivery of such copies and information by Buyer shall be without warranty or representation whatsoever, express or implied, including without limitations, any warranty or representation as to ownership, accuracy, adequacy or completeness thereof or otherwise. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller at no expense to Buyer in order to obtain a waiver of any such restrictions. |
6.3 | Contracts. On or before the end of the Inspection Period, Buyer will designate in a written notice to Seller which Contracts Buyer will assume and which Contracts must be terminated by Seller at Closing. Taking into account any credits or prorations to be made pursuant to this Agreement for payments coming due after Closing but accruing prior to Closing, Buyer will assume the obligations arising from and after Closing under those Contracts which Buyer has designated will not be terminated.

7.7.1 | Items to be Prorated. The following shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing with the Buyer being deemed the owner of the Property as of the Closing: |
(a) | Taxes and Assessments All non-delinquent real property taxes, assessments and other governmental impositions of any kind or nature, including, without limitation, any special assessments or similar charges (collectively, Taxes), which relate to the tax year within which the Closing occurs based upon the actual number of days in the tax year. With respect to any portion of the Taxes which are payable by any Tenant directly to the authorities, no proration or adjustment shall be made. The proration for Taxes shall be based upon the most recently issued tax bill for the Property, and shall be calculated based upon the maximum early payment discount available. The prorations for taxes and assessments which are made at Closing shall be final, and not subject to reproration after Closing. Upon the Closing, Buyer shall be responsible for real estate taxes and assessments on the Property payable from and after the Closing. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the taxes or assessments on the Property resulting from the sale of the Property or from any improvements made or leases entered into after the Closing. With respect to all periods for which Seller has paid Taxes, Seller hereby reserves the right to institute or continue any proceeding or proceedings for the reduction of the assessed valuation of the Property, and, in its sole discretion, to settle the same. Seller shall have sole authority to control the progress of, and to make all decisions with respect to, such proceedings but shall provide Buyer with copies of all communications with the taxing authorities. All net tax refunds and credits attributable to any period prior to the Closing which Seller has paid or for which Seller has given a credit to Buyer shall belong to and be the property of Seller, provided, however, that any such refunds and credits that are the property of Tenants under Leases shall be promptly remitted by Seller directly to such Tenants or to Buyer for the credit of such Tenants. All net tax refunds and credits attributable to any period subsequent to the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Buyer. Buyer agrees to cooperate with Seller in connection with the prosecution of any such proceedings and to take all steps, whether before or after the Closing, as may be necessary to carry out the intention of this subparagraph, including the delivery to Seller, upon demand, of any relevant books and records, including receipted tax bills and cancelled checks used in payment of such taxes, the execution of any and all consent or other documents, and the undertaking of any acts necessary for the collection of such refund by Seller. Buyer agrees that, as a condition to the transfer of the Property by Buyer, Buyer will cause any transferee to assume the obligations set forth herein. |
(b) | Rents Buyer will receive a credit at the Closing for all rents collected by Seller prior to the Closing and allocable to the period from and after the Closing based upon the actual number of days in the month. No credit shall be given the Seller for accrued and unpaid rent or any other non-current sums due from Tenants until these sums are paid, and Seller shall retain the right to collect any such rent provided Seller does not sue to evict any tenants or terminate any Tenant Leases. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller after the Closing to collect any rent under the Tenant Leases which has accrued as of the Closing; provided, however, Buyer shall not be obligated to sue any Tenants or exercise any legal remedies under the Tenant Leases or to incur any expense over and above its own regular collection expenses. All payments collected from Tenants after the Closing shall first be applied to the month in which the Closing occurs, then to any rent due to Buyer for the period after Closing and finally to any rent due to Seller for the period prior to Closing; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller collects any payments from Tenants after Closing through its own collection efforts, Seller may first apply such payments to rent due the Seller for the period prior to Closing. |
(c) | CAM Expenses To the extent that Tenants are reimbursing the landlord for common area maintenance and other operating expenses (collectively, CAM Charges), CAM Charges shall be prorated at Closing and again subsequent to Closing, as of the date of Closing on a lease-by-lease basis with each party being entitled to receive a portion of the CAM Charges payable under each Lease for the CAM Lease Year in which Closing occurs, which portion shall be equal to the actual CAM Charges incurred during the partys respective periods of ownership of the Property during the CAM Lease Year. As used herein, the term CAM Lease Year means the twelve (12) month period as to which annual CAM Charges are owed under each Lease. Five (5) days prior to Closing the Seller shall submit to Buyer an itemization of its actual CAM Charges operating expenses through such date and the amount of CAM Charges received by the Seller as of such date, together with an estimate of CAM Charges to be incurred to, but not including, the Closing. In the event that the Seller has received CAM Charges payments in excess of its actual CAM Charges operating expenses, the Buyer shall be entitled to receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the excess. In the event that the Seller has received CAM Charges payments less than its actual CAM Charges operating expenses, to the extent that the Leases provide for a true up at the end of the CAM Lease Year, the Seller shall be entitled to receive any deficit but only after the Buyer has received any true up payment from the Tenant. Upon receipt by either party of any CAM Charge true up payment from a Tenant, the party receiving the same shall provide to the other party its allocable share of the true up payment within five (5) days of the receipt thereof. |
(d) | Operating Expenses All operating expenses (including all charges under the service contracts and agreements assumed by Buyer) shall be prorated, and as to each service provider, operating expenses payable or paid to such service provider in respect to the billing period of such service provider in which the Closing occurs (the Current Billing Period), shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the Current Billing Period prior to the Closing and the number of days in the Current Billing Period from and after the Closing, and assuming that all charges are incurred uniformly during the Current Billing Period. If actual bills for the Current Billing Period are unavailable as of the Closing, then such proration shall be made on an estimated basis based upon the most recently issued bills, subject to readjustment upon receipt of actual bills. |
(e) | Security Deposits; Prepaid Rents. Prepaid rentals and other tenant charges and security deposits (including any portion thereof which may be designated as prepaid rent) under Tenant Leases, if and to the extent that such deposits are in Sellers actual possession or control and have not been otherwise applied by Seller to any obligations of any Tenants under the Tenant Leases, shall be credited against the Purchase Price, and upon the Closing, Buyer shall assume full responsibility for all security deposits to be refunded to the Tenants under the Tenant Leases (to the extent the same are required to be refunded by the terms of such Tenant Leases or applicable). In the event that any security deposits are in the form of letters of credit or other financial instruments (the Non-Cash Security Deposits) Buyer shall have such financial instruments transferred after Closing. Seller will cooperate with Buyer after the Closing to have Buyer named as beneficiary under the Non-Cash Security Deposits; provided that such cooperation shall be at no cost or expense to Seller. Buyer will not receive a credit against the Purchase Price for such security deposits. |
(f) | Leasing Costs. Seller shall receive a credit at the Closing for all leasing costs, including tenant improvement costs and allowances, and its pro-rata leasing commissions, previously paid by Seller in connection with any Lease or modification to an existing tenant Lease which was entered into after the Effective Date and which is approved or deemed approved by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, which approval included approval of the tenant improvement costs. The Sellers pro-rata share shall be equal to a fraction which has as its numerator the number of months left in the base term of the Lease after the Closing and which has as its denominator the number of months in the base term of the Lease. Seller shall credit to Buyer at Closing the cost of all tenant improvement allowances, leasing commissions, free rent, and other tenant inducements or benefits with respect to the premises leased as of the Effective Date by the Tenants pursuant to the Tenant Leases in effect as of the Effective Date, to the extent that such improvement allowances and leasing commissions are unpaid or that such fee rent period has not occurred as of the Closing. In consideration of such credit, Buyer shall assume all obligations, risks and liabilities for paying all leasing commission, honoring all fee rent and other tenant inducements and completing all tenant improvements and related work on the premises including, but not limited to, those matters referenced on Exhibit E hereto. |
7.7.2 | Calculation; Reproration. Prior to Closing the parties shall jointly prepare an estimated closing statement which shall set forth the costs payable under sections 7.5 and 7.6 and the prorations and credits provided for in section 7.7.1 and elsewhere in this Agreement. Any item which cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available and adjusted when the information is available in accordance with this subparagraph; provided, however, that there shall be no reproration for taxes and assessments. The estimated closing statement as adjusted as aforesaid and approved in writing by the parties shall be referred to herein as the Closing Statement. If the prorations and credits made under the Closing Statement shall prove to be incorrect or incomplete for any reason, then either party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same; provided, however, that there shall be no reproration for taxes and assessments; and further provided that any adjustment shall be made, if at all, within sixty (60) days after the Closing (except with respect to CAM Charges, in which case such adjustment shall be made within thirty (30) days after the information necessary to perform such adjustment is available), and if a party fails to request an adjustment to the Closing Statement by a written notice delivered to the other party within the applicable period set forth above (such notice to specify in reasonable detail the items within the Closing Statement that such party desires to adjust and the reasons for such adjustment), then the prorations and credits set forth in the Closing Statement shall be binding and conclusive against such party. |
7.7.3 | Items Not Prorated. Seller and Buyer agree that (a) on the Closing, the Property will not be subject to any financing arranged by Seller; (b) none of the insurance policies relating to the Property will be assigned to Buyer and Buyer shall responsible for arranging for its own insurance as of the Closing; and (c) utilities, including telephone, electricity, water and gas, shall be read on the Closing and Buyer shall be responsible for all the necessary actions needed to arrange for utilities to be transferred to the name of Buyer on the Closing, including the posting of any required deposits and Seller shall be entitled to recover and retain from the providers of such utilities any refunds or overpayments to the extent applicable to the period prior to the Closing, and any utility deposits which it or its predecessors may have posted.

It is the parties express understanding and agreement that such materials are provided only for Buyers convenience in making its own examination and determination prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period as to whether it wishes to purchase the Property, and, in doing so, Buyer shall rely exclusively on its own independent investigation and evaluation of every aspect of the Property and not on any materials supplied by Seller. Except as may be specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, Buyer expressly disclaims any intent to rely on any such materials provided to it by Seller in connection with its inspection and agrees that it shall rely solely on its own independently developed or verified information. Except with respect to all obligations in this Agreement (including without limitation Sellers express representations and warranties) that are expressly stated to survive Closing, the indemnity provisions contained in the documents delivered in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the Surviving Obligations), Buyer hereby releases Seller and its agents, representatives, and employees from any and all claims, demands, and causes of action, past, present, and future that Buyer may have relating to (a) the condition of the Property at any time, before or after the Closing, including without limitation, the presence of any hazardous materials, or (b) any other matter pertaining to the Property. This release shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement. |
