Prior to the date hereof, Seller has ordered from the Title Company a commitment (the “Commitment”) to issue a 2021 ALTA extended coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance showing fee title to the Property vested in Buyer in an amount equal to the Purchase Price (the “Title Policy”). Prior to the date hereof Buyer has ordered, at its expense, a new “as built” ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey of the Property (collectively, the “Survey”). The Survey shall be certified to Buyer and the Title

3


 

Company. The Survey shall be in form and substance sufficient to delete the standard survey exception from the Title Policy. On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall execute and deliver to the Title Company an affidavit to delete the standard preprinted exception for mechanic’s liens from the Title Policy, substantially in the form of Exhibit “H” (the “Title Affidavit”). It shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property that the Title Company can and will, on the Closing Date, issue the Title Policy in accordance with the Commitment and subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined).
ii)
Buyer has, prior to and as of the Effective Date, approved those matters disclosed on the Commitment dated May 23, 2025 as File No. NCS-1260910-CLE and the Survey dated as of May 27, 2025 as job no. 5202502472, and, subject to Buyer’s receipt of an updated Survey depicting the easements, including the parking easements, benefiting the Property and burdening the properties subject to the Curbline CCRs (“Updated Survey”) as provided in Section 6.8 hereof,has elected to proceed with the purchase of the Property without any reduction of the Purchase Price with such condition of title as Seller is able to convey.
iii)
If at any time after the Effective Date, any update to the Commitment or Survey discloses any matter not previously disclosed which was not caused by or through Buyer or their lender or otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement (the “New Exception”) Buyer shall have a period of five (5) business days after the date of its receipt of such update (the “New Exception Review Period”) to review and notify Seller in writing of Buyer’s approval or disapproval of the New Exception. If Buyer disapproves of the New Exception, Seller may, in Seller’s sole discretion, notify Buyer as to whether it is willing to cure the New Exception, except that, if the New Exception is a Mandatory Cure Item (defined below), Seller shall be obligated to procure its release. If Seller fails to deliver a notice to Buyer within three (3) business days after the expiration of the New Exception Review Period (“New Exception Response Period”), Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure the New Exception. If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure the New Exception (other than Mandatory Cure Items, which Seller is obligated to cure and release), then Buyer shall within two (2) business days after the New Exception Response Period, as its exclusive remedy elect either: (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Earnest Deposit to Buyer, or (ii) to waive the New Exception and proceed to purchase the Property with such condition of title as Seller is able to convey and/or subject to the New Exception, without a reduction of the Purchase Price therefor, in which event the items objected to which were not cured shall be deemed to be acceptable to Buyer. If Buyer fails to notify Seller of its election in accordance with the preceding sentence, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.
iv)
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to all matters affecting title to the Property, and any liens or encumbrances affecting the Property, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is relying upon the Title Policy. If Buyer has a claim under the Title Policy and the subject matter of that claim also constitutes the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Seller in the

4


 

Deed, Buyer agrees that it will look first to the Title Policy for recovery of such claim, and Buyer shall only assert any claim against Seller for recovery of such claim after all remedies available to Buyer under the Title Policy are exhausted and any recovery from Seller hereunder shall be in excess of remedies received by Buyer under the Title Policy. This Subsection shall survive Closing and delivery of the Deed (as hereinafter defined).
c)
Release of Mortgages. Except for real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable as of the Closing, all notices of commencement, mortgages, deeds of trust, mechanics liens, judgment liens any other monetary liens of ascertainable amounts encumbering the Property incurred by, for, or on behalf of Seller (each, a “Mandatory Cure Item”) shall be paid by Seller at or prior to Closing, or removed from record by the Title Company and shall not be deemed Permitted Exceptions hereunder, regardless of whether or not Buyer provides written notice objecting to such items. For clarity, in no event shall the foregoing require Seller to satisfy or expend money to remove any mortgages, deeds of trust or monetary liens of ascertainable amounts incurred by, for, or on behalf of any tenant or other occupant of the Property.
4)
CONVEYANCE. On the Closing Date, Seller shall convey title to the Property by special or limited warranty deed substantially in the form of Exhibit “J” (the “Deed”), free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except the following (collectively, the “Permitted Exceptions”): (i) real estate taxes and assessments, both general and special, in each case not yet due and payable; (ii) declarations, conditions, covenants, restrictions, easements, rights of way and other matters of record, including without limitation, those items shown on the subdivision plat of the Property, in each case which are not objected to or are waived by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.2 herein; (iii) zoning and building ordinances; (iv) those matters disclosed by the Survey which are not objected to or are waived by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.2 herein; (v) the rights of tenants in possession as tenants only without any rights of first offer or refusal or any options to purchase; and (vi) the rights of any third-party pursuant to any licensees and/or temporary occupants under the Temporary Occupancy Agreements, if any.

Buyer shall arrange with such services and companies to have accounts opened in Buyer’s name beginning at 12:00 AM on the Closing Date. To the extent that the amount of actual consumption of any utility services is not determined prior to the Closing Date, a proration shall be made at Closing based on the last available reading. Seller shall not assign to Buyer any deposits which Seller has with any of the utility services or companies servicing the Property. Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a reconciliation statement of the Operating Expenses for the Property for the portion of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs that the Property was owned by Seller.

If the Closing occurs prior to the receipt by Seller of the bill for the Tax Expense for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, the Tax Expense shall be prorated on the basis of the last officially certified and available tax duplicate. \ Monthly and/or lump sum amounts Seller, as landlord, has collected from tenants under the Leases and Temporary Occupancy Agreements as reimbursements or prepayments of Seller’s Tax Expense (collectively, “Tax Receivables”) shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of the Closing Date.

Seller shall be entitled to Tax Receivables to the extent they relate to the Tax Expense attributable to the period prior to, but not including the Closing Date, and Buyer shall be entitled to Tax Receivables to the extent they relate to the Tax Expense attributable to the Closing Date or thereafter.

The parties shall make the appropriate adjusting payment between them within thirty (30) days after presentment to Seller of Buyer's calculation and appropriate back-up information. Buyer shall provide Seller with appropriate backup materials related to the calculation. With respect to any portion of the Property that is a separate tax parcel, and the applicable tenant pays the Tax Expense with respect to such parcel directly to the taxing authority under the terms of its lease, the Tax Expense for that parcel shall not be prorated between Buyer and Seller at Closing as such tenant(s) shall be responsible for paying the taxing authority for such Tax Expense as it becomes due pursuant to the terms of its lease.
ii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any real estate tax refunds or rebates which apply to periods before the Closing Date shall remain the property of Seller, and Seller shall have the right to file and pursue any appeals attributable to Seller’s period of ownership of the Property, with respect to tax assessments for the Property.

Seller will also calculate and apply to tenants’ accounts credits and charges where applicable. Seller will provide copies of this calculation, along with copies of the billings to Buyer, along with any balance due to Buyer.

Copies of the fully executed Tenant Notice Letters, together with evidence of their delivery, shall be provided to each of Buyer and Seller promptly following delivery to the tenants. The provisions of this Section 6.2(f) shall survive Closing.
c)
Estoppels.
i)
In accordance with the further terms and conditions of this Section 6.3, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide tenant estoppel certificates (the “Tenant Estoppels”) from all the tenants under the Leases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property shall be conditioned upon Seller delivering to Buyer at or prior to Closing a Tenant Estoppel from: (i) all tenants that are open and occupying more than 10,000 square feet of space, which as of the Effective Date are Marshalls/Homegoods, Ross Dress for Less, Old Navy, Best Buy, Burlington, Bealls, Ulta, Market by Macy’s, Cost Plus World Market, Nike, Havertys, Staples, Petsmart and LA Fitness (each a “Major Tenant”); and (ii) tenants under the Leases leasing that are subject to Leases with an original term of more than twelve (12) months (“Non-Major Tenants”) such that the Tenant Estoppels obtained are not less than eighty-seven percent (87%) of the open and occupied gross leasable area of the Property (inclusive of the Major Tenants). The Tenant Estoppels required to be delivered pursuant to subparts (i) and (ii) in the preceding sentence and that are a condition to Closing as more particularly set forth herein are defined collectively as the “Required Estoppels”. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that any tenant that has declared bankruptcy with no assignment of such tenant’s Lease shall not be a “Required Estoppel” and shall not count towards the gross leaseable area of the Property. If Seller is unable to deliver the Required Estoppels to Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Earnest Deposit to Buyer, and

13


 

thereafter no party hereto shall have any further rights, claims or liabilities hereunder (except as set forth herein).
ii)
The form of the Tenant Estoppel shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit "G" attached hereto and made a part hereof; provided, however, that if any tenant is required or permitted under the terms of its Lease to provide less information or to otherwise make different statements in a certification of such nature than are set forth on Exhibit "G", then Buyer shall accept any estoppel certificate and any modifications made to such estoppel certificate to the extent that such changes are consistent with the minimum requirements set forth in such tenant's lease; and provided further, however, that under no circumstances shall Buyer be required to accept any tenant estoppel certificate delivered in connection with this Section 6.3 to the extent such estoppel certificate (a) contains any allegation of failure of Landlord to perform any material obligation under the applicable Lease, (b) indicates any default under the applicable Lease, or (c) materially and adversely conflict with the Due Diligence Material or any of Seller’s representations under this Agreement.
iii)
Seller shall deliver to Buyer any written responses received from tenants to the request for a Tenant Estoppel, revised drafts of any Tenant Estoppels, and/or any signed Tenant Estoppel received by Seller promptly following Seller’s receipt thereof. Buyer shall, within two (2) business days after Buyer's receipt of any such Tenant Estoppel from Seller, respond to Seller in writing with any specific comments or concerns that Buyer has with respect to such Tenant Estoppels as a result of Buyer's review of such Tenant Estoppels and the applicable Lease for such tenant. If Buyer fails to respond to Seller within such two (2) business day period, the Tenant Estoppels delivered by Seller shall be deemed accepted by Buyer.
iv)
Intentionally Omitted.
v)
In the event Seller has been unable to obtain the Required Estoppels at or prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right, upon written notice to Buyer, to extend the Closing Date by up to ten (10) days in order to allow Seller additional time to obtain all Required Estoppels. Seller shall have no obligation to update any Tenant Estoppels described in this Section 6.3 at or prior to Closing. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Buyer has not received the Required Estoppels in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.3 at or before the scheduled Closing (as may be extended), Seller shall not be deemed in default of this Agreement, but rather a failure of a condition to Closing shall have occurred, and Buyer shall have the right to (i) terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Seller, in which event the Earnest Deposit shall be returned to Buyer promptly and neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those obligations which are expressly stated in this Agreement to survive any termination of this Agreement, or (ii) waive such requirement and proceed to Closing.
vi)
Additionally, Seller agrees to request and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an estoppel certificate from each of Target and Lowes relating to the OEA

14


 

in the form prescribed by the OEA ( the “OEA Estoppels”) as prepared by Buyer; provided however, delivery of the OEA Estoppels shall not be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close on the purchase of the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have a one time right, upon written notice to Buyer on or prior to the scheduled Closing Date, to extend the Closing Date by up to thirty (30) days in order to allow Seller additional time to obtain the OEA Estoppels.
vii)
Additionally, Seller agrees to request and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an estoppel certificate, as prepared by Buyer, from the Master Association under the Master Declaration (the “Master Declaration Estoppel”); provided however that (i) deliver of the Master Declaration Estoppel shall not be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close on the purchase of the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) Buyer shall have no extension rights with respect to the Master Declaration Estoppel.
viii)
Additionally, Seller agrees to request Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreements (“SNDAs”) in a commercially reasonable form as may be provided by Buyer or Buyer’s lender, from such tenants under the Leases as may be requested by Buyer’s lender; provided however, nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Seller to obtain, negotiate or otherwise complete any SNDAs on behalf of Buyer or Buyer’s lender, and delivery of any SNDAs shall not be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close on the purchase of the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Buyer shall deliver the identity of its lender to Seller, together with the fully completed SNDA forms as to such tenants where Buyer’s lender is requesting an SNDA, by no later than ten (10) business days following the Effective Date; provided, however, that if no such SNDA forms are provided to Seller prior to such deadline, then Seller shall be under no obligation to request SNDAs hereunder.
d)
Covenants of Seller Pending Closing.
i)
From and after the Effective Date through the Closing Date, Seller shall not, except as set forth as Schedule 6.4attached hereto: (i) modify, cancel, extend or otherwise change in any manner the terms and provisions of the Leases (but the foregoing shall not prevent Landlord from accepting any notice of extension, cancellation or other action received from a Tenant pursuant to a right set forth in its Lease); (ii) enter into any contracts for services or otherwise that may be binding upon the Property following Closing or upon Buyer; (iii) grant any easements on the Property; or (iv) enter into any new leases of space in the Property; in each instance without the express prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Buyer agrees to deliver to Seller such consent or refusal of consent, in writing (and in the event Buyer refuses consent, Buyer shall include with such written refusal, with reasonable specificity, Buyer’s reasons for refusing consent), within four (4) business days after receipt of a written request from Seller seeking any such consent. In the event Buyer fails to deliver to Seller such consent or refusal of consent (including Buyer’s reasons therefor), in writing, within four (4) business days after receipt of a written request from

15


 

Seller, Buyer shall be deemed to have consented, in all respects, to any and all matters set forth in the written request from Seller.
ii)
From and after the Effective Date through the Closing Date, Seller shall continue to operate the Property in substantially the same manner as Seller has prior to the Effective Date; provided, however, Seller’s obligations under this Section 6.4(b) shall not include any obligation (i) to perform any repairs, replacements or improvements to the Property, or (ii) to pay any other expenditure not in the ordinary day-to-day maintenance of the Property. From the Effective Date through Closing, Seller shall maintain in full force and effect, without modification the same (or comparable in amount, credit quality and scope of coverage thereto) liability, casualty, and all other insurance on the Property as is in effect as of the Effective Date; provided that, as of the Closing Date, the Property will no longer be insured under Seller’s insurance program, and Buyer shall be solely responsible for maintaining insurance on the Property on and after the Closing Date.
iii)
From and after the Effective Date through the Closing Date, (i) Seller shall not, without first obtaining Buyer’s prior reasonable written approval thereof in each instance, (A) directly or indirectly change or attempt to change or initiate or consent to any change of the current zoning of and/or any current entitlements to the Real Property or any part thereof, and/or (B) cancel, amend or modify any material license or permit held by Seller with respect to the Property or any part thereof to the extent that such cancellation, amendment or modification would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the operation of the Property after Closing.
iv)
Except as set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any permitted leasing activities set forth in Section 6.4(a) above, Seller shall not sell, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or dispose of all or any part of the Property, except that Seller may replace depreciated or damaged personal property with personal property of similar quality and quantity in the ordinary course of business.
v)
Other than may be expressly permitted under this Agreement or otherwise approved by Buyer in writing, from and after the Effective Date through Closing Date, Seller shall not create or permit to be created any liens, including mechanic’s liens, or encumbrances against the Property or modify or amend any of the Permitted Exceptions which would survive Closing.
vi)
From and after the Effective Date through Closing Date, Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with copies of: (I) any written notices of violations or alleged violations with respect to the Property received by Seller after the Effective Date from any applicable governmental or quasi-governmental authority; (II) any written notice from a tenant received by Seller claiming that Seller is in default under any Lease; and (III) any written notice received by Seller affecting the Property or the Seller’s interest in the Property (y) concerning any pending litigation or administrative proceeding or (z) from legal counsel on behalf of a party threatening litigation.

16


 

vii)

If the conditions specified in such notice are not satisfied within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice (with the Closing Date automatically being extended to accommodate such ten (10) business day period), then Seller may either (i) waive such conditions and proceed to Closing or (ii) terminate this Agreement in which event the Earnest Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Buyer; provided that, if the failure of any such condition constitutes a default by Buyer thereunder, Seller may exercise the remedies set forth in Section 10.

f)

The foregoing conditions are imposed solely for the benefit of Buyer. If, for any reason, any of the foregoing conditions have not been satisfied by the Closing Date, then Buyer shall give notice to Seller of the condition or conditions that Buyer asserts are not satisfied and Buyer may either (i) waive such conditions and proceed to Closing or (ii) terminate this Agreement in which event the Earnest Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Buyer; provided that, if the failure of any such condition constitutes a default by the Seller hereunder, Buyer may exercise the remedies set forth in Section 10.

“As-Is” Condition. BUYER HEREBY EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT BUYER WILL HAVE, AS OF CLOSING, HAD THE OPPURTUNITY TO THOROUGHLY INSPECT AND EXAMINE THE STATUS OF TITLE TO THE PROPERTY AND THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY TO THE EXTENT DEEMED NECESSARY BY BUYER IN ORDER TO ENABLE BUYER TO EVALUATE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY.

a)
Seller’s Due Diligence Materials. Within one (1) business day after the Effective Date, Seller will either make available (either at a physical location or via electronic data room) or deliver to Buyer, as and if available, a copy of the information set forth on Schedule 8.1 to facilitate Buyer’s due diligence review of the Property (the “Due Diligence Material”). Seller, however, shall have no liability with regard to such Due Diligence Material and shall not be required to update the Due Diligence Material or provide any such Due Diligence Material that is not in Seller’s custody or control. Further, except as expressly set forth in Section 9.1 below, Seller makes no representation or warranty regarding the accuracy of the information contained in the Due Diligence Material and Seller shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any of the Due Diligence Material.

b)
Inspections and Reports; Review of Commitment and Survey.
i)
Pursuant to that certain Limited Right of Access Agreement dated May 1, 2025 between Seller and Buyer, Seller permitted Buyer and Buyer’s representatives to enter the Property for the purpose of conducting inspections and investigations reasonably required by Buyer in order to determine the suitability of the Property for Buyer’s purposes (collectively, the “Inspections”), and Buyer shall continue to have reasonable access to the Property from and after the Effective Date and while this Agreement remains in effect for purposes of additional Inspections, subject in all respects to the terms, conditions and provisions contained herein and provided that in no event shall Buyer have any termination rights in connection with any such Inspections. Buyer shall promptly repair any physical damage to the Property caused by the Inspections, and shall promptly return the Property to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to the conduct thereof (other than any damage caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or its agents, contractors and employees, and other than pre-existing conditions (e.g., latent environmental contamination) except to the extent exacerbated by Buyer, other than in de

21


 

minimus or immaterial respects, and in such event, only to the extent so exacerbated other than in de minimus or immaterial respects). No Inspections shall be conducted without Seller’s approval as to the time and manner thereof, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, no onsite inspection shall be approved by Seller without providing at least one (1) business days’ notice via email to Bryan Gardell at bgardell@sitecenters.com. At Seller’s request, any such Inspection shall be performed in the presence of a representative of Seller. Any such Inspection shall be subject to any limitation under the Leases and shall be performed in a manner which does not interfere with the use, operation, or enjoyment of the Property, including, but not limited to, the rights of any tenant on the Property. Notwithstanding any right of access or further Inspections as provided herein, Buyer expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Inspections, the Reports, the condition of the Properties, and Buyer’s due diligence review of the Properties are all acceptable to Buyer, and except as set forth in Sections 6.7 and 6.8 hereof, Buyer waives any due diligence related contingencies in connection with the Properties, and Buyer has elected to proceed with the purchase of the Properties, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
ii)
Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from and against any actual, out-of-pocket losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses incurred by Seller as a result of Buyer’s exercise of the right of inspection granted under this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will Buyer’s indemnity obligation hereunder extend to any claim by Seller arising (i) directly or indirectly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller, or (ii) as a result of the mere discovery of any existing adverse conditions or environmental contamination or legal noncompliance on the Property not caused or exacerbated by Buyer (other than in de minimus or immaterial respects, and in such event, only to the extent so exacerbated other than in de minimus or immaterial respects). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any such Inspections conducted by Buyer or Buyer’s agents and representatives shall be solely at the risk of Buyer. Buyer shall carry commercial general liability insurance covering all activities conducted by Buyer, its agents, contractors and engineers on the Property. Such insurance shall have limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for personal injury to or death of any one person, Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for personal injury to or death of any number of persons in any one accident and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for property damage, and shall name Seller, its agents, employees, and representatives as an additional insured. Insurance carried by the Buyer shall be primary and non-contributory to any insurance carried by the Seller. Prior to any entry onto the Property by Buyer or its agents or representatives, and as a condition to Buyer’s right to enter onto the Property, Buyer shall provide proof of such insurance to Seller. All of the obligations of Buyer under this Section shall survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement.
c)
Confidentiality. Buyer agrees that it shall treat all Due Diligence Material as confidential materials and shall not disclose any portion thereof except: (i) to the extent necessary in connection with its evaluation of the Property; (ii) to the extent required by law; (iii) to Buyer’s mortgage lender(s) or investors, if any, involved in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; or (iv) with the express written consent of Seller. If this Agreement terminates in

22


 

accordance with the terms hereof, Buyer shall promptly return to Seller or destroy all Due Diligence Material it received and shall not retain any copies of the Due Diligence Material other than copies of any such information that Buyer reasonably deems appropriate to retain for legal, document retention or compliance purposes, provided, however, that nothing herein shall require Buyer to purge any electronic documents in its electronic archival systems. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, except as may be required by law, regulation or legal process, neither Buyer nor Buyer’s agents shall contact any governmental authority regarding Buyer’s discovery of any Hazardous Substances (as hereinafter defined) on, or any environmental conditions at, the Property without Seller’s prior written consent thereto. In addition, if Seller’s consent is obtained by Buyer, Seller shall be entitled to receive at least five (5) business days prior written notice of the intended contact and to have a representative present when Buyer has any such contact with any governmental official or representative. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Hazardous Substances” shall have the same definition as is set forth in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. Sections 9601 et seq. (the “Superfund Act”); provided, however, that the definition of the term “Hazardous Substances” shall also include (if not included within the definition contained in the Superfund Act) petroleum and related byproducts, hydrocarbons, radon, asbestos, urea formaldehyde and polychlorinated biphenyl compounds. Buyer agrees that Seller may seek injunctive relief to prevent or limit an unauthorized disclosure of the Due Diligence Material and Reports and also may pursue any other remedies available under law or equity as a result of a breach or anticipated breach of this Section. All of the obligations of Buyer under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations made in this subsection

25


 

regarding “Seller’s owners” shall not apply to any shareholder of any publicly traded company that directly or indirectly owns Seller.

If Seller discovers that any of the representations or warranties of Seller in Section 9.1 is inaccurate or incomplete as a result of a change of fact or circumstances (and not as a result of a representation or warranty otherwise being materially inaccurate as of the Effective Date or a representation or warranty becoming materially inaccurate after the Effective Date and prior to Closing due to a breach or default by Seller under this Agreement), then Seller shall promptly deliver written notice to Buyer of such change in facts or circumstances(each a “Change Notice”). Upon Seller’s delivery to Buyer of any Change Notice, the representation and warranty described in such Change Notice shall be deemed updated and/or revised as described in the Change Notice, and Seller shall have no liability to Buyer therefor. In the event that any representation or warranty by Seller in Section 9.1 above is materially inaccurate as of the Closing Date (as disclosed to Buyer or as otherwise known by Buyer or discovered by Buyer prior to Closing), and if such material inaccuracy is due to either: (i) such representation or warranty otherwise being materially inaccurate as of the Effective Date; or (ii) such representation or warranty becoming materially inaccurate after the Effective Date and prior to Closing due to a breach or default by Seller under this Agreement; then only under such circumstances shall Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, have the right to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Deposit shall be returned to Buyer by the Escrow Agent, Seller shall pay Buyer all of Buyer’s actual out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with this Agreement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, not to exceed One Hundred Forty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($140,000.00) (the “Reimbursement Amount”) in the aggregate, and neither party hereto shall have any further obligations hereunder except for such obligations and indemnities which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, and Buyer expressly waives the right to sue Seller for damages. Buyer may bring an action or proceeding alleging the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any such warranties, representations and agreements that expressly survive Closing as provided for herein within the Survival Period, and the warranties, representations and agreements at issue will survive until full and final determination of the action or proceeding. However, if Buyer proceeds to Closing with actual knowledge of any such untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any warranty, representation or agreement, Buyer is deemed to have waived any claims with respect to each such warranty, representation or agreement. Buyer shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of all matters arising and/or disclosed in any Tenant Estoppels delivered to Buyer at or prior to Closing, and Seller’s representation and warranties as contained herein shall be deemed automatically updated to reflect all such matters arising and/or disclosed in any Tenant Estoppel upon delivery of such Tenant Estoppel to Buyer. Subject to the limitations in this paragraph, following Closing, Seller shall reimburse Buyer’s damages arising out of any untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any surviving warranty, representation or agreement hereunder, provided, however, that: (i) Buyer shall not be entitled to bring any claim for a untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any surviving warranty, representation or agreement hereunder unless the claim for damage (either in the aggregate or as to any individual claim) by Buyer exceeds One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($125,000.00) (the “Floor”),provided, however, that in such event, Buyer’s remedies for Seller’s untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any surviving warranty, representation or agreement hereunder shall be for the entire amount of Buyer’s damages up to the Cap (defined below), from the first dollar and without reference to the Floor; (ii) written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach shall have been given by Buyer to Seller after the Closing Date and prior to the expiration of the Survival Period; and (iii) in no event

26


 

shall Seller’s aggregate liability to Buyer for all breaches of surviving warranties, representations and agreements hereunder exceed the amount of Three Million Three Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($3,300,000.00) (the “Cap”); provided, however, neither the Floor nor the Cap shall be applicable to the representation set forth in Section 11 herein related to Brokers or to Seller’s proration and re-proration obligations set forth in Section5. The warranties, representations and agreements of Seller as set forth in this Section 9.1 shall survive Closing and delivery of the Deed to Buyer for a period of two hundred seventy (270) days (the “Survival Period”) after the Closing Date. Until the expiration of the Survival Period, Seller shall maintain a liquid net worth at least equal to the Cap; provided, however, that if Buyer timely gives Seller written notice of a claim and files an action, suit or proceeding prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, Seller shall continue to maintain such liquid net worth until such time as the action, suit or proceeding has finally been resolved. In the event that Buyer reasonably believes that Seller has failed to maintain this minimum liquid net worth in accordance with this section, Buyer shall provide Seller written notice of the same and Seller shall have five (5) business days to provide evidence of Seller’s net worth to Buyer.As used in this Agreement, any and all references to “Seller’s knowledge,” “Seller’s actual knowledge” or phrases of similar import shall mean the conscious awareness of facts or other relevant information, without investigation or inquiry, by Carol Nash, Seller’s property manager.

b)

ii)

The person signing this Agreement on behalf of Buyer has been duly authorized to sign and deliver this Agreement on behalf of Buyer.
iii)
Buyer is not subject to any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction or governmental agency that would limit or restrict Buyer’s right to enter into and carry out this Agreement.
iv)
Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein by Buyer will constitute a breach under any contract or agreement to which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer is bound or affected.
v)
No consent or approval of any third party (including, without limitation any governmental authority) is or was required in connection with Buyer’s execution and delivery of this Agreement or its consummation of the transaction contemplated herein.
vi)
None of the funds to be used for payment by Buyer of the Purchase Price will be subject to 18 U.S.C. §§ 1956-1957 (Laundering of Money Instruments), 18 U.S.C. §§ 981-986 (Federal Asset Forfeiture), 18 U.S.C. §§ 881 (Drug Property Seizure),

vii)
Buyer is not (and will not become), and, to Buyer’s knowledge, none of Buyer’s owners, officers, directors, or employees (if any) acting on Buyer’s behalf in relation to this Agreement are (or will become) a person or entity with whom U.S. persons are restricted from doing business or otherwise dealing with under (i) U.S. sanctions laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the regulations of promulgated and enforced by the OFAC of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (including, without limitation, those persons or entities named on OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list) or (ii) under any other statute, regulation, rule, or executive order (including the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), the USA Patriot Act, or other governmental action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations made in this subsection regarding “Buyer’s owners” shall not apply to any shareholder of any publicly traded company that directly or indirectly owns Buyer.

Buyer shall fully disclose to Seller, immediately upon Buyer’s becoming aware of its occurrence, any change in facts or circumstances of which Buyer becomes aware prior to the Closing that may affect the representations and warranties set forth above. In the event that any representation or warranty by Buyer is not accurate as of the Closing, Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Deposit shall be delivered and paid to Seller by the Escrow Agent and neither party hereto shall have any further obligations hereunder except for such obligations and indemnities which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, and Seller expressly waives the right to sue Buyer for damages.

10)
DEFAULT.
a)
Seller Default. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if Seller materially breaches or defaults under this Agreement or Closing does not occur by reason of a material default by Seller and if such breach or default continues and is not fully cured within two (2) days after written notice from Buyer, then Buyer shall have the right, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy, to elect to either: (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer shall receive the Earnest Deposit, Seller shall pay Buyer all of Buyer’s actual out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with this Agreement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, not to exceed the Reimbursement Amount, and neither of the parties hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations that specifically survive the termination; or (ii) enforce specific performance of this Agreement, provided that such action must be commenced within sixty (60) days following Buyer’s discovery of Seller’s material default under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that specific performance is not available to Buyer as a result of Seller voluntarily conveying the Real Property to a third party in violation of this Agreement while Buyer is not in default hereunder, then Buyer may recover damages from Seller equal to the disgorgement of Seller’s profits received from any third party pursuant to such separate sale (i.e. any amounts of consideration Seller received over and above

28


 

the Purchase Price). No other remedy or relief shall be available to Buyer, and Buyer hereby waives any and all other remedies, including the right to sue Seller for damages.
b)
Buyer Default. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if Buyer materially breaches or defaults under this Agreement, or if Buyer otherwise fails to timely close this transaction for reasons other than Seller’s material default or the failure of any of the express conditions to Buyer’s performance, and if such breach, default and/or failure by Buyer continues and is not fully cured within two (2) days after written notice from Seller, then this Agreement shall terminate, and the Earnest Deposit shall be delivered to Seller as agreed-upon liquidated damages as Seller’s sole remedy. Seller and Buyer acknowledge that: (i) it would be impossible to accurately determine Seller’s damages in the event of Buyer’s default; (ii) the Earnest Deposit is fair and equitable; and (iii) Seller expressly waives the right to exercise any and all other rights available at law or in equity. The limitation of damages set forth herein shall not apply to any indemnities, covenants or obligations of Buyer which expressly survive either the termination of this Agreement or Closing, for which Seller shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
11)
BROKERS. Buyer and Seller each represent and warrant that they have not been represented by any broker in connection with the sale of the Property other than Dennis Carson of CBRE (the “Broker”), and no commissions or fees are due to any other broker or finder by reason of either party’s actions in this matter. Seller shall pay Broker pursuant to a separate commission agreement. Buyer and Seller shall each be responsible for all liability, if any, for any broker or finder fees payable with respect to the sale of the Property that are attributable to its actions. Seller and Buyer shall and do each hereby indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other from and against the claims, demands, actions and judgments of any and all brokers, agents and other persons or entities alleging a commission, fee or other payment to be owing by reason of their respective dealings, negotiations or communications in connection with this Agreement or the purchase and sale of the Property. The indemnity obligations in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the Closing.
12)
CASUALTY/CONDEMNATION.
a)
Right to Terminate. If, after the Effective Date, (a) any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking), or (b) any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed (excluding routine wear and tear and damage caused by any Buyer), Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof. If the Property is the subject of a Major Casualty/Condemnation (as hereinafter defined) that occurs after the Effective Date, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller no later than ten (10) Business Days after the giving of Seller’s notice, and the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer to make such election. The failure by Buyer to terminate this Agreement within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this section, the Earnest Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Major Casualty/Condemnation” shall mean any casualty, condemnation proceedings, or eminent domain proceedings if (i) the portion of the Property that is the subject of

29


 

such casualty or such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings has a value in excess of seven percent (7%) of the Purchase Price as reasonably determined by Seller and Buyer mutually and in good faith, or (ii) any casualty is an uninsured casualty and Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not elect to cause the damage to be repaired or restored or give Buyer a credit at Closing for such repair or restoration in an amount reasonably acceptable to Buyer, or (iii) any Major Tenant is entitled terminate its Lease as a result of such casualty or condemnation and the applicable tenant does not agree to waive such termination right in writing, or (iv) such casualty or condemnation proceedings permanently reduces (or upon completion will permanent reduce) parking available at the Property so as to cause the parking to be noncompliant under any jurisdictional requirement with no commercially reasonable alternative available, or (v) such casualty or condemnation proceedings permanently materially reduces or impedes access to the Property with no commercially reasonable alternative available.
b)
Allocation of Proceeds and Awards. If a condemnation or casualty occurs after the Effective Date and this Agreement is not terminated as permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, Buyer shall acquire the remainder of the Property upon the terms set forth herein. Any awards or proceeds from the condemning authority or Seller’s insurance company, as the case may be (the “Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds”) shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller as follows: (a) Seller shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds for (i) all costs, expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements, incurred by Seller in connection with negotiating the settlement of such award or proceeds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) proceeds of any rental loss, business interruption or similar insurance, or other compensation for loss of use or income, that are allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) the reasonable and actual costs incurred by Seller in physically stabilizing the Property following a casualty to the extent approved by Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (b) Buyer shall be entitled to (i) the balance of the Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds, and (ii) a credit from Seller equal to Seller’s deductible with respect to a casualty, if the same is an insured casualty.
