Any net adjustment in favor of Purchaser shall be paid in cash or cash equivalent by Seller to Purchaser no later than twenty (20) days after the Final Closing Adjustment. Any net adjustment in favor of Seller shall be paid in cash or cash equivalent by Purchaser to Seller no later than twenty (20) days after the Final Closing Adjustment.

(ii) No Further Adjustments. The Final Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller and Purchaser and Seller and Purchaser hereby waive any right to contest after the Final Closing Adjustment any prorations, apportionments or adjustments to be made pursuant to this Section.

(g) Closing Costs. Purchaser and Seller shall each pay their own legal fees related to the preparation of this Agreement and all documents required to settle the transaction contemplated hereby.

SECTION 8.5. Possession. Possession of the Property shall be delivered to Purchaser by Seller at the Closing, subject only to the Ground Lease, the Operating Agreement, rights arising under the Contracts assumed by Purchaser and the other Permitted Exceptions.

Such notice shall be prepared by Purchaser and approved by Seller, shall notify the Tenant of the sale and transfer and shall contain appropriate instructions relating to the payment of future rentals, the giving of future notices, and other matters reasonably required by Purchaser or required by law. Unless a different procedure is required by applicable law, in which event such laws shall be controlling, Purchaser agrees to transmit or otherwise deliver such letters to the Tenant promptly after Closing.

ARTICLE 9
Real Estate Commission

SECTION 9.1. Commissions. If and when, but only if and when, the Closing is completed and the Purchase Price is paid in full, Seller shall be obligated to pay a real estate commission and/or brokerage fee to Seller’s Broker in accordance with a separate agreement between Seller and Seller’s Broker. Seller’s Broker shall indemnify Seller and Purchaser against all claims, costs and liability relating to any broker or other person claiming by, through or under Seller’s Broker.

ARTICLE 10
Termination and Default

SECTION 10.1. Termination without Default. If the sale of the Property is not consummated because of the failure of any condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason except a default by Purchaser in its obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and provided that Purchaser has performed or tendered performance of all of its material obligations under this Agreement, the Deposit shall promptly be returned to Purchaser.

SECTION 10.2. Purchaser’s Default. If the sale contemplated hereby is not consummated because of a default by Purchaser in its obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement 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 shall be paid to and retained by Seller as liquidated damages; and (c) except for Purchaser’s Surviving Obligations, Seller and Purchaser shall have no further obligations to each other. PURCHASER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DAMAGES TO SELLER IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER WOULD BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE, THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS THE PARTIEs’ BEST AND MOST ACCURATE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IF THE TRANSACTION SHOULD FAIL TO CLOSE AND THAT SUCH ESTIMATE IS REASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SELLER AND PURCHASER REASONABLY ANTICIPATE WOULD EXIST AT THE TIME OF SUCH BREACH. SUBJECT TO SECTION 11.8, PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE THAT SELLER’s RIGHT TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE SELLER’s SOLE REMEDY, AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, FOR PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 10.3. Seller’s Default. If Purchaser shall have performed or tendered performance of all of its material obligations under this Agreement, and Seller defaults in its obligation to sell the Property to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then, Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity: (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller, in which event the Deposit will promptly be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall have no further obligation to each other except for Purchaser’s Surviving Obligations; (b) waive such default and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or (c) specifically enforce this Agreement. Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives any other right or remedy for such default.

SECTION 10.4. Breach of Representations. Seller and Purchaser agree that, following the Closing, each shall be liable for the direct, but not consequential or punitive, damages resulting from any breach of its representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article 7 hereof; provided, however, that (i) the total liability of Seller for all such breaches and any matters relating thereto shall not, in the aggregate, exceed an amount equivalent to the Purchase Price; (ii) the total liability of Purchaser for all such breaches and any matters relating thereto shall not, in the aggregate, exceed an amount equivalent to the Purchase Price; (iii) such representations and warranties are personal to Seller and Purchaser and may not be assigned to or enforced by any other Person, other than to an assignee of Purchaser in accordance with Section 11.3; and (iv) the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement or in any document or certificate delivered by Seller in connection herewith shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year, and no action or proceeding thereon shall be valid or enforceable, at law or in equity, if a legal proceeding is not commenced within that time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have no liability for any such breach: (a) regarding which Purchaser or its attorneys, agents or consultants, had actual knowledge prior to Closing; or (b) that was disclosed (i) in this Agreement or any exhibit hereto, (ii) in the Reports, or (iii) in any other document, study or report delivered or made available to Purchaser or its attorneys, consultants or agents before the Closing, including any certificate referred to in Section 8.2(f) or any estoppel certificate. The disclosure or expression of any facts, claims or information by Tenant in its estoppel certificate shall not be deemed a material variation from the form required if such facts, claims or information were disclosed to Purchaser by letter from Seller before the Effective Date or as part of the Rent Roll.
