12.  Copies of Documents

13.  Broker

        Seller and Purchaser respectively represent and warrant that it has dealt with no brokers, finders, or salesmen in connection with this transaction, and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, which Purchaser may sustain, incur, or be exposed to by reason of any claim for brokerage or finder's fees or commissions which arise in connection with the transaction contemplated hereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing Date and any termination of this Agreement.

14.  Title Report

        Seller, at no cost or liability to Purchaser (except as provided in Paragraph 11 hereof), will provide Purchaser with a commitment for an owner's and lender's policy of title insurance from the Title Company pursuant to which the Title Company shall agree to insure title to the Premises, in the amount of the purchase price (at a standard rate for such insurance) in the name of Purchaser and Purchaser's lender, after delivery of the Deed, by a standard Owners and Lenders Policy, with the endorsements as reasonable requested by such parties, free and clear of all liens, agreements, matters, and encumbrances other than the Permitted Encumbrances and the Net Lease, and with all survey exceptions deleted, insuring against all mechanics' and laborers' liens and claims on account of any work performed on the Premises through the Closing Date (including, but not limited to, unfiled and inchoate liens and claims) and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (the Title Policy). The Title Company shall provide affirmative insurance that any restrictive covenants set forth in the Permitted Encumbrances have not been violated, and that any future violation thereof will not result in a forfeiture or reversion of title, shall provide that the exception for taxes shall apply only to

11


the current and subsequent years, shall provide that any exception as to easements not shown by public records shall be either deleted or limited to such matters or conditions as are shown on the Survey. Seller shall use its best efforts to cause to be furnished to Purchaser true, correct, and legible copies of all instruments referred to in said commitment as conditions or exceptions to title to the Premises. Purchaser shall have the right to notify Seller of any matters which render the title uninsurable, and Seller shall, as provided herein, have the opportunity to remove such matters. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed a waiver by Purchaser of any objections or exceptions to or defects in the title.

15.  Casualty Loss

            (a)   If, prior to the Closing Date, any part of the Premises is damaged as the result of fire or other casualty, and the estimated cost of repair of the damage exceeds $500,000.00, Purchaser shall have the option to (i) accept title to the Premises without any abatement of the purchase price whatsoever, in which event, on the Closing Date, all of the insurance proceeds shall be assigned by Seller to Purchaser, any monies theretofore received by Seller in connection with such fire or other casualty shall be paid over to Purchaser, and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser an amount equal to the Insurance Deficiency Amount, as hereinafter defined; or (ii) terminate this Agreement. In the event that the estimated cost of repair of the damage does not exceed $500,000.00, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Purchaser shall have the option to (i) require Seller to restore the Premises to the same condition they were in immediately prior to such damage or (ii) have all of the insurance proceeds payable as a result of such damage assigned to Purchaser or applied to the Tenant as provided under the Net Lease, and any monies theretofore received by Seller in connection with such damage shall be paid over to Purchaser, and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser an amount equal to the Insurance Deficiency Amount, as hereinafter defined.

16.  Rights of Inspection Prior to Closing; Right to Terminate

        The Purchaser, and its representatives, agents, or designee, shall have the right to inspect all or any part of the Premises after the date hereof, provided that it shall first give the Seller reasonable advance notification of its intention to conduct any such inspection and that such inspection shall not unreasonably impede the normal day-to-day business operations of the Premises. The Purchaser, and its representatives, agents, or designees, shall have the right to inspect all documents, agreements, or other instruments annexed hereto, referred to herein or otherwise related to the Premises or any portion thereof, and to make any and all inquiries and investigations which Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate, and Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in making available for inspection all of such instruments to Purchaser and shall assist with all such inquiries and investigations of Purchaser; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to incur any cost or expense hereunder this Paragraph. Purchaser may disapprove of the results of any such inspection, inquiry, or investigation for any reason or for no reason and any disapproval thereof need not specify the reason for such disapproval. Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if Purchaser, in its sole discretion, deems the Premises or any aspect thereof, or any instrument or the result of any inquiry or investigation, to be unsatisfactory in any way or for any reason whatsoever; provided, however, that Purchaser may only exercise such right by giving Seller written notice of such termination on or before sixty (60) days after the date of execution of this Agreement (the Inspection Contingency Date). In addition, in the event the Survey referred to in Paragraph 12(b) hereof is not delivered to both the Purchaser and the Title Company at least ten (10) days prior to the Inspection Contingency Date, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if Purchaser, in its sole discretion, deems the Survey or any aspect thereof or any fact disclosed or contained therein to be unsatisfactory in any way or for any reason whatsoever; provided, however, that Purchaser may only exercise such right by giving Seller written notice of such termination on or before ten (10) days following the date on which the Survey is delivered to both the Purchaser and the Title Company.

17.  Condemnation

        In the event of the institution of any proceedings, judicial, administrative, or otherwise, which shall relate to the proposed taking of any portion of the Premises by eminent domain prior to the Closing Date thereof, or in the event of the taking of any portion of the Premises by eminent domain prior to the Closing Date therefore, Purchaser shall have the right and option to terminate this Agreement by giving the Seller written notice to such effect at any time after its receipt of written notification of any such occurrence. In the event Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement, Seller shall assign all proceeds of such taking to Purchaser to be used and applied as provided in the Net Lease, and the same shall have the sole right to settle any claim in connection with the Premises.

18.  Failure to Convey

            (a)   In the event of any default on the part of Purchaser, Seller waives any claim, at law or in equity, either against Purchaser or against any person, known or unknown, disclosed or undisclosed, except that, upon a default by Purchaser hereunder, provided Seller is not in default hereunder, Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and to retain the Deposit as liquidated damages and such retention shall constitute Seller's role and absolute remedy at law and in equity.

            (b)   In the event that for any reason Seller is unable or unwilling to convey title to the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may elect either to: (a) terminate this Agreement, or (b) accept such title as Seller can convey, and waive any conditions to Purchaser's obligations hereunder, in which event Seller shall make the deliveries provided for herein to Purchaser to the extent that Seller is able to do so, without reduction in the Purchase Price. In the event of any refusal or inability on the part of Seller to convey title pursuant hereto or to convey such title as it is able to deliver and is acceptable to

13



    Purchaser, then, in addition to all other rights hereunder, Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue any and all remedies available to Purchaser at law or in equity including, without limitation, an action for specific performance to compel Seller to convey the Premises pursuant to this Agreement and any claim for damages, whether incidental or consequential.

            (a)   The Escrow Agent will deliver the Deposit to Seller or to Purchaser, as the case may be, under the following conditions:

                (i)  To Seller at the Closing upon the consummation thereof; or

               (ii)  To Seller upon receipt of written demand therefor, stating that Purchaser has defaulted in the performance of this Agreement and the facts and circumstances underlying such default; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not honor such demand until more than five (5) days after the Escrow Agent shall have mailed a copy of such demand to

14


      Purchaser, or thereafter if the Escrow Agent shall have received written notice of objection from Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this paragraph 21; or

              (iii)  To Purchaser upon receipt of written demand therefor, stating that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with the provisions thereof, or Seller has defaulted in the performance of this Agreement, and the facts and circumstances underlying the same; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not honor such demand until more than five (5) days after the Escrow Agent has mailed a copy of such demand to Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, nor thereafter, if the Escrow Agent shall have received written notice of objection from the other party in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this paragraph 21.

            (b)   Upon the filing of a written demand for the Deposit by Purchaser or Seller, pursuant to subclause (ii) or (iii) of clause (a) of this paragraph 21, the Escrow Agent shall promptly mail a copy thereof to the other party. The other party shall have the right to object to the delivery of the Deposit by filing written notice of such objection with the Escrow Agent at any time within five (5) days after the mailing of such copy to it, but not thereafter. Such notice shall set forth the basis for objecting to the delivery of the Deposit. Upon receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent shall promptly mail a copy thereof to the party who filed the written demand.

            (c)   In the event the Escrow Agent shall have received the notice of objection provided for in clause (b) above of this Paragraph 21 and within the time therein prescribed, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Deposit until (i) the Escrow Agent receives written notice from Seller and Purchaser directing the disbursement of said Deposit, in which case the Escrow Agent shall then disburse said Deposit in accordance with said direction, or (ii) in the event of litigation between Seller and Purchaser, the Escrow Agent shall deposit the Deposit with the Clerk of the Court in which said litigation is pending, or (iii) the Escrow Agent takes such affirmative steps as the Escrow Agent may, at the Escrow Agent's option, elect in order to terminate the Escrow Agent's duties including, but not limited to, deposit in Court and an action for interpleader, the costs thereof to be borne by whichever of Seller or Purchaser is the losing party.

            (d)   The Escrow Agent may act upon any instrument or other writing believed by them in good faith to be genuine and to be signed and presented by the proper person, and shall not be liable in connection with the performance of any duties imposed upon the Escrow Agent by the provisions of this Agreement, except for the Escrow Agent's own willful misconduct and gross negligence. The Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those set forth herein. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification of this Agreement, unless the same is in writing and signed by Purchaser and Seller, and, if the Escrow Agent's duties hereunder are affected, unless Escrow Agent shall have given prior written consent thereto. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to the Escrow Agent's duties or rights hereunder, or shall receive instructions from Purchaser or Seller which, in the Escrow Agent's opinion, are in conflict with any of the provisions hereof, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to hold and apply the Deposit pursuant to clause (c) above of this paragraph 21, and may decline to take any other action. All fees of the Escrow Agent shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller.

22.  Miscellaneous

            (a)   This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and incorporates and supersedes all prior negotiations and discussions between the parties.

            (b)   This Agreement cannot be amended, waived, or terminated orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto.

15



            (c)   This Agreement, being negotiated and prepared in the State of South Carolina, shall be interpreted and governed by the laws of said State, except with respect to title issues, in which case the law of the jurisdiction in which the Premises are located shall govern.

            (d)   Whenever in this Agreement there is a provision for the return or disbursement of the Deposit, the provision shall be deemed to include all interest earned thereon.

            (e)   This Agreement may be assigned by Purchaser without the consent of Seller and, upon such assignment, Purchaser shall have no further liability hereunder.

            (g)   All of the representations and warranties, if any, made by Purchaser and Seller in this Agreement shall survive the closing hereunder and shall not be merged therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser has made no representation or warranty with respect to any transaction contemplated hereby except as specifically and expressly set forth in Paragraph 4(B) hereof and Purchaser has no obligation to perform any covenant or obligation or to comply with any condition in connection with this Agreement except as specifically and expressly set forth in this Agreement.

            (h)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that at any time between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller suffers or there otherwise occurs with respect to Seller any material adverse economic or financial change, Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement upon two (2) days' prior notice to Seller.

            (i)    On the Closing Date and from time to time thereafter, Seller shall execute and deliver or cause the execution and delivery to Purchaser of such assignments, deeds, agreements, consents, instruments, documents, and further assurances as may be required by Purchaser in order to effect or confirm any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the transactions intended to be accomplished in connection herewith or to carry out the intent and purposes hereof.

            (j)    If any instrument or deposit is necessary in order to obviate a defect in or objection or exception to title, the following shall apply: (a) any such instrument shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as may be required by the Title Company to omit any defect, objection, or exception to title, (b) any such deposit shall be made with the Title Company, and (c) Seller agrees to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any such instrument or cause the execution, acknowledgement, and delivery thereof and to make any such deposit.

            (k)   This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.
