BUYER REPRESENTS THAT IT IS A KNOWLEDGEABLE BUYER OF REAL ESTATE AND THAT IT IS RELYING SOLELY ON ITS OWN EXPERTISE AND THAT OF ITS CONSULTANTS IN PURCHASING THE PROPERTY. THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE CLOSING, SHALL NOT MERGE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF ANY CLOSING DOCUMENT.

3. Seller’s Review Period. Seller’s corporate headquarters is located on the Property. Seller shall have a ninety (90) day period commencing on the effective date (such 90 day period is “Seller’s Review Period” and commences on the same day the Inspection Period commences) to determine the feasibility of relocating Seller’s headquarters to another location. If Seller, acting in good faith, determines that relocation is not feasible, Seller

may terminate this Contract upon written notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of Seller’s Review Period. In such event, Buyer shall be entitled to return of the xxxxxxx money and Seller will reimburse Buyer for actual third party expenses incurred by Buyer in its inspection of the Property, up to, but not exceeding, $10,000.

4. Right of First Refusal. In the event Seller terminates this Contract pursuant to Section 3 of this Addendum, Seller, for a period of twelve (12) months after termination, shall not enter into any agreement with a third party to purchase the Property until Seller has first notified Buyer in writing (the “Notice”) of its intent to do so. Buyer shall have twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of the Notice to deliver written notice to Seller of Buyer’s election to purchase the Property. In such event, within ten (10) days of Buyer’s election notice, the parties will enter in a contract of sale containing the terms and conditions of this Contract (excluding, however, the provisions of Section 3 and this Section 4 of the Addendum). If Buyer does not deliver written notice to Seller of Buyer’s election to purchase the Property within such twenty (20) day period, then Buyer shall have no further rights with respect to the Property and Seller may sell the Property on any terms and to any parties it chooses.

5. Back-up Contract. Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller may continue to show the Property and receive, negotiate and accept “back-up” contracts for the sale of the Property, each of which shall be subject to the terms of this Contract.

6. Lease. At closing, Buyer, as landlord, and Seller, as tenant, shall enter into a lease of the Property (the “Lease”). The Lease will be a triple net lease (i.e. Seller, as tenant, shall pay all real estate taxes, insurance costs, costs for utilities, all maintenance costs and the costs of all repairs, structural or otherwise; provided that Seller’s repair obligations shall be limited to those necessary to enable Seller to lawfully occupy the premises or to prevent danger of harm to persons or property) for a term of eighteen (18) months and a base rent of $102,500/month. The Lease will provide that Seller can terminate the Lease at any time upon giving 180 days written notice of termination. Further, the Lease will provide that Seller can remove, at Seller’s expense, any and all buildings, improvements, fixtures and trade fixtures on the Property, provided such removal is completed within ten (10) days after expiration of the Lease. Buyer will permit Seller access for such purpose. The form of Lease shall be mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer and the parties will negotiate its form in good faith during the Inspection Period. In view of the fact that Buyer intends to demolish the improvements on the Property upon expiration of the Lease, appropriate adjustments will be made to standard lease provisions such as insurance, maintenance, repairs, etc. and shall provide that any personal property of Seller or others remaining on the Property ten (10) days after the expiration of the Lease shall be deemed abandoned by the owner thereof.

7. Survival. Any right of action of Buyer for the breach by Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein shall not merge with the deed delivered at closing but shall survive the closing. Any suit by Buyer for any breach by Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein must be filed on or before one year after the closing date or shall be forever barred. Additionally, all agreements and indemnities of Seller and Buyer set forth in this Contract shall, to the extent not consummated at Closing, survive the Closing of the transaction contemplated by this Contract.

8. Conflict. If a conflict arises between the provisions of this Addendum and any other part of this Contract, this Addendum shall modify and supersede such other part of this Contract to the extent necessary to eliminate any such conflict but no further. All terms which are defined in this Contract shall have the same meaning when used in this Addendum and vice versa, unless otherwise defined herein.

9. Confidentiality. Prior to closing, Seller and Buyer each agree to make no public announcement of the transaction which is the subject of this Contract and each further agrees to use its good faith efforts to keep such transaction confidential, except that the parties may disclose the transaction and its terms to their respective attorneys, accountants, lenders and investors. After closing, Seller or Buyer shall have the right to make a public announcement of such transaction.

10. Further Agreements by Seller. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against, and to reimburse Buyer with respect to, any and all claims, demands, causes of action, loss, damage, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) asserted against or incurred by Buyer by reason of or arising out of the ownership, maintenance and/or operation of the Property prior to the closing date.

11. Further Agreements by Buyer. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against, and to reimburse Seller with respect to, any and all claims, demands, causes of action, loss, damage, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) asserted against or incurred by Seller by reason of or arising out of the ownership, maintenance and/or operation of the Property subsequent to the closing date. Nothing contained in this Section 11 shall modify the obligations of Seller under the Lease.

12. Real Estate Commissions. Each party hereto agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses of any kind or character arising out of or resulting from any agreement, arrangement or understanding (except as set forth in Paragraph 8B of this Contract) alleged to have been made by such party or on its behalf with any broker or finder in connection with this Contract or the transaction contemplated hereby.

13. Tax Free Exchange. Seller, at Seller’s option, may sell the Property in the manner necessary to accomplish a tax-free exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended. Buyer, at no expense or liability to Buyer, will cooperate with Seller in such regard.
