4. Condition of Title; Title Insurance.
(a) The conveyance of title to the Property to Buyer, or its nominees, successors or assigns, shall be by delivery at Closing to Buyer by Seller of: (i) Seller’s bargain and sale deed conveying title subject only to approved exceptions described below; (ii) an Assignment and Assumption of Leases; and (iii) a Bill of Sale of the Personal Property described in Section 10 below.
(b) Seller shall furnish to Buyer an extended form policy of Title Insurance, such policy to be effective on the Closing Date. No later than five (5) business days after full execution of this agreement, Seller shall furnish Buyer with a preliminary commitment for Title Insurance from Chicago Title Insurance Company (herein called “Commitment”) on the Property, together with full copies of any exceptions set forth therein. Seller will deliver to Buyer as provided in Section 8 below the survey in its possession, Buyer shall be responsible for updating the survey (if required by the title company in connection with the policy of Title Insurance). The Buyer shall have until and through fifteen (15) days after receipt of this Commitment to object to any such exception and any exception to which Buyer does not so timely object to in writing shall be deemed a “Permitted Exception”. Seller agrees that it shall remove any mortgages, judgment liens and mechanics liens (except for any notices of liens associated with the Schindler Elevator Corporation elevator work) arising solely out of Seller’s activities. Buyer also acknowledges that there are ongoing conversations with the City of Seattle regarding a mid-block crossing of Fifth Avenue, and that the memorialization, if any, of such efforts would be included as a Permitted Exception. In the event Buyer notifies Seller within such period that Buyer disapproves one or more exceptions to title, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) business days after Buyer’s notification as to whether Seller agrees to remove the exceptions so disapproved. Within five (5) business days thereafter, if Seller elects not to eliminate any disapproved exception (or if Seller fails to timely respond, such silence shall be deemed an election not to eliminate any disapproved exception), Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Earnest Money Deposit shall promptly be returned to Buyer as provided hereunder, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and neither party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except those that are expressly stated to survive termination of this Agreement. If Buyer does not elect to cancel this Agreement, Buyer’s objections to the disapproved exceptions which Seller elects not to eliminate shall be deemed waived and the Property shall be conveyed to the Buyer with such defects as Permitted Exceptions without credit against the Purchase Price. Seller shall have until Closing to eliminate any disapproved exceptions that Seller has agreed to remove from the Policy of Title Insurance to be issued in favor of the Buyer.
(c) (i) Buyer shall have the right to object to any material matters affecting Seller’s fee simple title to the Real Property that are not Permitted Exceptions and that first arise in any update to the Commitment delivered after Buyer’s initial title objections (each, a “Title Update Defect” and, collectively,
3
“Title Update Defects”). Such objections must be made by written notice from Buyer to Seller within five (5) business days after Buyer’s receipt of the Update disclosing the applicable material title matter (unless there is less than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, then Buyer must deliver notice of such objection prior to the Closing). Each such title matter set forth on an update to which Buyer shall not timely object shall constitute an additional Permitted Exception, and Buyer shall have no right to object thereto. Title Update Defects that are timely objected to by Buyer are herein collectively referred to as “Title Update Objections”.
(ii) Upon Seller’s receipt of a Title Update Objection, Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to remove, at Seller’s expense, any Title Update Objection and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate) to accomplish the same. Seller shall notify Buyer in writing (“Seller’s Update Response”) (A) within five (5) business days after Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s notice of the applicable Title Update Objection whether Seller will attempt to remove the applicable Title Update Objection or (B) if Seller has previously informed Buyer that it will attempt to remove a particular Title Update Objection, within five (5) business days after Seller determines that Seller is unable to remove such Title Update Objection (provided, however, in each case, that with respect to each Seller’s Update Response, if there are five (5) or fewer business days before the scheduled Closing Date, then Seller shall notify Buyer of its election prior to the Closing). If Seller fails to timely deliver Seller’s Update Response in accordance with the foregoing, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove the underlying objection.
(iii) If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to remove the applicable Title Update Defect, or if Seller has notified Buyer that Seller is unable to do so, then Buyer must elect, by written notice (“Buyer’s Update Response”) to Seller delivered within five (5) business days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s Update Response (or the date upon which Seller is deemed to have elected not to remove the underlying objection) (but in all cases, at least one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date (and any extensions thereof), and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such one (1) additional business day) either to:
A. accept title subject to the applicable Title Update Defect, in which case the applicable Title Update Defect shall be deemed to be a Permitted Exception for all purposes of this Agreement; or
B. terminate this Agreement, in which case the Earnest Money Deposit shall promptly be returned to Buyer (after Seller has confirmed to the Escrow Agent that Buyer has provided to Seller copies of the Confidential Reports (as defined in Section 8(b) below), which confirmation will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and neither party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except those that are expressly stated to survive termination of this Agreement.
If Buyer shall fail to timely deliver Buyer’s Update Response to Seller, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to accept title subject to the applicable Title Update Defect in accordance with the preceding clause (A), in which case, the applicable Title Update Defect shall be deemed to be a Permitted Exception (and there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price or other concession in connection therewith). Such election (or deemed election, as applicable) shall be Buyer’s sole and exclusive right and remedy with respect to the applicable Title Update Defect.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(c), at or prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause to be removed any Title Objection that is voluntarily and solely caused by Seller
4
after the Effective Date (unless the same has been consented to in writing by Buyer). For the avoidance of doubt, any title matter caused by the conduct or omission of a Tenant or another third-party or by governmental action shall not be a Title Objection voluntarily caused by Seller.
(d) Buyer shall be entitled to request that Title Company provide, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, such endorsements to the Title Commitment as Buyer may reasonably request, provided that (i) such endorsements shall be at no cost or additional Liability to Seller, (ii) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditioned upon Buyer’s ability to obtain such endorsements and, if Buyer is unable to obtain such endorsements, then Buyer shall nevertheless be obligated to proceed to close the Transaction without any adjustment to the Purchase Price or any other term hereof and (iii) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of Buyer’s request to obtain any such endorsements. At the Closing, Seller shall execute and deliver to Title Company a commercially reasonable title affidavit to allow Title Company to issue an extended coverage title policy.
5. Prorations. (a) Proration of taxes, utilities, rentals, revenues and other income, if any, from the Property and any other charges which are not required to be paid by directly by the tenants shall be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. on the day prior to the Closing Date (“Proration Date”). There shall be no proration of any insurance premiums with respect to the Property, nor any assumption of insurance coverage by Buyer. All real and any personal property taxes that are required to be prorated shall be prorated to the Proration Date. Each party shall pay their own attorneys’ fees.

Operating Expenses and other pass through costs under the Tenant Leases, if any, shall also be prorated at the Proration Date based upon Buyer’s and Seller’s good faith estimates thereof, provided that upon final reconciliation of such charges, Seller will be responsible for any refunds due tenants for overpayments due for period prior to Closing and Seller shall be entitled to collect from tenants any underpayments due for periods prior to Closing.

Such studies will include, without limitation, Buyer’s review and determination with respect to the following: a review of any and all permits, zoning information, availability of utilities, and studies relating to the presence of hazardous or toxic materials. Buyer shall have the right, at any time after the date of this Agreement, but subject to at least two (2) business days’ prior notice to Seller, and further subject to any applicable notice provisions under Tenant Leases, to make other tests that Buyer may desire, so long as such tests (1) do not materially damage or expose the Property or Seller to any lien or liability, and (2) do not disturb or interfere with Tenants’ occupancy or business under the Tenant Leases. Buyer shall restore the Property to its original condition after concluding each test. If the Buyer, based upon the studies specified above or any other studies performed by Buyer in its sole discretion, concludes during the feasibility period that the proposed acquisition of the Property is not feasible, then the Buyer shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the Seller, in which case the Earnest Money Deposit shall promptly be returned to Buyer, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and neither party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except those that are expressly stated to survive termination of this Agreement. In the event the Buyer has not notified the Seller on or before the Feasibility Date of the Buyer’s intention to proceed to closing, then this Agreement shall be automatically terminated and the Buyer shall be entitled to return of the Earnest Money Deposit. If, on or before the Feasibility Date, Buyer delivers written notice to Seller waiving Buyer’s right to terminate, the Earnest Money shall become non-refundable (except as otherwise expressly stated herein) and Buyer and Seller shall proceed with the Transaction as provided in this Agreement. Buyer and Buyer’s consultants shall maintain or cause to be maintained commercial liability insurance coverage in an amount not less than $2,000,000 in the aggregate insuring against the damages resulting from Buyer’s consultants’ due diligence activities on the Property and shall name Seller as an additional insured thereunder.

(c) Estoppel Certificates. During the period between the date of this Agreement and the Feasibility Date, Seller will seek from each tenant under a Tenant Lease (except for the Lease with Buyer) an estoppel (the “Tenant Estoppel Certificates”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (or the form specified in such Tenant Lease, if a form is specified in such Tenant Lease), confirming certain matters with respect to such Tenant Lease. For absolute clarity, the Tenant Estoppel Certificates will be requested only from Sur La Table and AeroTEC. The Estoppel Certificates shall expressly run in favor of both Buyer and Seller.
9
At least five (5) days before Closing, Seller shall have obtained Tenant Estoppel Certificates from Sur La Table and AeroTEC. Each Tenant Estoppel Certificate shall not disclose any material claims against Seller as landlord or material adverse matters. Seller shall prepare the Tenant Estoppel Certificates and shall provide copies to Buyer no later than the time it sends them to the tenants. Seller shall provide a copy of each signed Tenant Estoppel Certificate or any objections to the proposed form of certificate to Buyer immediately upon receipt thereof from each tenant. If on or before the Closing Date such condition is not satisfied (or waived by Buyer), Buyer shall have the right at its sole election either to waive the condition and proceed with the purchase of the Property or terminate this Agreement and the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer (and no party hereto shall have any further obligation in connection herewith except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement) after Seller has confirmed to the Escrow Agent that Buyer has provided to Seller copies of the Confidential Reports (as defined in Section 8(b) above), which confirmation will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event Seller fails to obtain a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from a tenant under any Tenant Lease, at Buyer’s request, Seller shall deliver to Buyer on the Closing Date a certificate (the “Seller Tenant Certificate”) in the applicable form attached as Exhibit C executed by Seller, and in such event, Seller shall be deemed to have delivered a Tenant Estoppel Certificate with respect to such tenant for purposes of satisfying the condition under this Section 8(c).
(d) Financing Contingency. Seller grants to Buyer a period of up to sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement (the “Contingency Date”) to (1) complete a common stock offering in order to raise funds in advance of Closing (the “Financing”) and (2) receive from the New York Department of Financial Service approval for American Pet Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Buyer, to invest up to 10% of its Admitted Assets in an Affiliated Entity (the “Regulatory Approval”). Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (1) to secure a Financing on terms reasonably acceptable to Buyer on or before the Contingency Date and (2) to receive the Regulatory Approval on or before the Contingency Date.
