4.2 Prorations. The following items shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Proration Date, and prorations favoring Buyer, to the extent determinable as of the Proration Date, shall reduce the Purchase Price payable by Buyer at the Closing, and such prorations favoring Seller, to the extent determinable as of the Proration Date, shall increase the Purchase Price payable by Buyer at the Closing:
4.2.1 Rents, additional rents, common area maintenance charges, charges for taxes and insurance premiums or for escalations thereof, if any, and other charges under the Leases as and when collected (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Rents”).
(a) Delinquent Rents. No prorations shall be made for any unpaid amounts due and payable prior to Closing or for delinquent rents existing, if any, as of the Closing Date. If, on the Proration Date, any Tenant is delinquent in the payment of any Rents, then Buyer shall refund to Seller an amount, up to the full amount of such receivable, at the time of Buyer’s receipt of any Rents from such Tenant, to the extent of any portion of such payment remaining after Buyer deducts all Rents due Buyer from such Tenant after the Proration Date.
(b) Expense Reconciliation. No later than January 31, 2013, Seller shall provide Buyer with a reasonably detailed preliminary reconciliation for each Tenant showing all common area maintenance charges, property taxes, insurance and other operating cost pass-throughs payable by Tenants (collectively, the “Operating Expenses”) incurred by Seller for calendar year 2012, and any Operating Expense estimates or charges collected by Seller during calendar year 2012 and relating to such Tenant, all in the form customarily submitted to each Tenant (the “CAM Reconciliation”), provided that Seller shall provide the CAM Reconciliation to Buyer with reasonable and sufficient time to allow timely processing of the reconciliation of Operating Expenses under the Leases. To the extent that Seller has received any monthly or periodic payments of Operating Expenses allocable to periods subsequent to Closing, Seller shall promptly pay the same to Buyer at Closing. With respect to any monthly or periodic payments of Operating Expenses received by Buyer after the Closing allocable to Seller prior to Closing, Buyer shall promptly pay the same to Seller (subject to the provisions in Section 4.2.1(a) for delinquent rents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the CAM Reconciliation reveals that Seller has over-
11
collected Operating Expenses such that Seller would be obligated to refund money to the Tenants (an “Over Collection”), rather than collect additional money from the Tenants (an “Under Collection”), said Over Collection shall be paid by Seller to Buyer simultaneously with Seller’s submission of the CAM Reconciliation and Buyer shall assume the obligation to pay any such Over Collection to Tenants; provided, in the event of an Under Collection, Buyer shall make good faith efforts to collect the amount of the Under Collection from the applicable Tenant in connection with the Operating Expense reconciliation process under the Leases, and shall, upon receipt, promptly deliver such amount to Seller.
4.2.2 The state, county and local ad valorem property taxes (“Taxes”) for the year or tax period of Closing. If the actual tax bills have been issued, the proration shall be based upon such bills. If the actual tax bills have not been issued or if the tax bills are to be modified after Closing for any reason as to the year or tax period of Closing, then such proration shall be based on such taxes billed for the prior year or tax period and, after the tax bills or modified tax bills (as applicable) for the year or tax period of Closing are received by either Buyer or Seller, Buyer and Seller shall adjust such proration, and any amount then owing shall be paid within twenty (20) days of demand by the party entitled thereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties agree as follows:
(a) Pending Tax Appeals. Buyer shall in no event be responsible for, and Seller hereby covenants and agrees to pay any Taxes, penalties or other costs, assessments or obligations resulting from an unsuccessful appeal of current or prior years’ Taxes. To the extent any such tax appeal is outstanding as of the Closing Date and Seller has not paid the entire amount of the Taxes which are the subject of such appeal, the amount of the Taxes not paid in connection with such appeal (or such greater amount as may be required by the Title Insurer to insure Buyer’s interest in the Property without exception for any Taxes other than Taxes for subsequent years) shall be deposited in escrow with Escrow Agent pursuant to an escrow agreement, the terms of which shall be negotiated and agreed to by Seller and Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably apprised of Seller’s progress with respect to any outstanding appeals following Closing, pay all refunds due to Tenants pursuant to the terms of the Leases as a result of such appeals and promptly provide evidence of such payment to Buyer, which obligations shall expressly survive the Closing hereunder.
(b) Illinois Taxes. Although Taxes in the State of Illinois are payable in arrears (i.e., Taxes for 2012 for the Property located in the State of Illinois are not due and payable until 2013), Taxes relating to the Land and Improvements located in the State of Illinois shall be prorated in the manner provided in this Section 4.2.2; however, to the extent any portion of any Building located in the State of Illinois is vacant, Taxes attributable to such vacant space shall be determined by multiplying the aggregate Taxes for the applicable Land and Improvements by a fraction, the numerator of which is the square foot area of such vacant space and the denominator of which is the square foot area of the entire Building where the vacant space is located (the “Vacant Space Allocated Taxes”), and such Vacant Space Allocated Taxes shall be payable as hereinafter provided. Seller shall be solely responsible for and pay one hundred percent
12
(100%) of the Vacant Space Allocated Taxes for the year of Closing at or prior to Closing. The Vacant Space Allocated Taxes for the next calendar year (i.e. 2013, assuming Closing occurs during 2012) shall be prorated between the parties at Closing based on the actual tax bills received for the year of Closing (or the prior calendar year, if such actual bills are not available) in the manner provided in Section 4.2.2 as though such Taxes were due and payable during the year of Closing, and Buyer shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price for the Seller’s prorated share thereof at Closing.
4.2.3 Sanitary sewer taxes, assessments and utility charges, if any, to the extent, and only to the extent, such taxes and charges are not required to be paid by any Tenant directly to the utility or governmental authority. With respect to Seller’s accounts for such taxes and charges, to the extent reasonably possible: (i) Seller and Buyer shall request the utility companies to read the meters as of the Proration Date; (ii) Seller shall be responsible for all such utility charges incurred through the Proration Date; (iii) Buyer shall make application to the various companies for the continuation of such services and the establishment of the required accounts in the name of Buyer effective from and after the Proration Date; (iv) all prepaid deposits for utilities shall be refunded to Seller by the utility companies; and (v) it shall be Buyer’s responsibility to make any utility deposits required for the continuation of such services from and after the Proration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall obtain final water bills and pay same prior to Closing to the extent the failure to do so will hinder the recordation of any Deeds.
4.2.4 Operating expenses of the Property, including, without limitation, charges under the Surviving Service Contracts, subject to the terms of Section 4.2.1(b) above.
4.2.5 Tenant improvement expenses (including all hard and soft construction costs, whether payable to the contractor or the Tenant), tenant allowances, moving expenses and other out-of-pocket costs which are the obligation of the landlord under Leases shall be allocated between the parties according to whether such obligations arise in connection with (1) Leases executed as of the date of this Agreement (other than with respect to renewal terms or expansion rights under such Leases properly exercised after the date of this Agreement) (collectively, “Existing TI Obligations”), or (2) Leases or amendments entered into during the pendency of this Agreement and approved by Buyer pursuant to Section 9 and renewals or expansion rights properly exercised after the date of this Agreement (“New TI Obligations”):
(a) Existing TI Obligations. If, by Closing, Seller has not completed and paid in full Existing TI Obligations, then such costs as reasonably agreed by Buyer and Seller shall be withheld from the Purchase Price at Closing, placed in an escrow with the Title Company pursuant to an escrow agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Buyer, and Buyer shall be responsible for completing and paying such Existing TI Obligations. Any funds held in the escrow shall be released to Buyer without any requirement for the consent of Seller and shall be used by Buyer to pay or otherwise satisfy such Existing TI Obligations as and when the same become due and payable. If there are any funds remaining in the escrow after payment
13
of such Existing TI Obligations, such excess shall be paid to Seller; but if the amount in escrow is insufficient for such purpose, Seller shall pay such deficiency to the party to whom the same is owed as and when the same becomes due and payable.
(b) New TI Obligations. Buyer shall be responsible for and shall at Closing assume the obligation to pay all New TI Obligations. At Closing, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the cost of New TI Obligations properly performed and paid for by Seller to the extent such obligations were expressly approved in writing by Buyer pursuant to Section 9 hereof.
4.2.6 On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall pay in full all leasing commissions due to leasing or other agents for the remaining current term of each Lease (determined as of the Contract Date without regard to any unexercised termination or cancellation right); provided, however, that if any leasing agent will not accept such payment, then Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in an amount equal to the then-unpaid leasing commissions, and Buyer shall assume, in writing, the obligation to pay any such leasing commissions due thereunder after the Closing Date up to the amount of such credit. At Closing, Buyer shall assume the obligation for the payment of any leasing commissions due under the leasing commission agreements identified on Exhibit C hereto which may become due as a result of the renewal of any Lease or the expansion of lease space occupied by any Tenant after Closing pursuant to an express provision set forth in any such Lease or any such commission agreement.
4.2.7 Prorations will be calculated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.2, but may be allocated to each parcel of Land and its related Improvements based on the items of income and expenses of such parcel of Land and Improvements. With respect to any items of income or expense which affect more than one parcel of Land and Improvements, such items shall be equitably allocated between the affected Land and Improvements
4.2.8 Either party shall be entitled to a post-Closing adjustment for any incorrect prorations, upon notice from the other party given within one (1) year after Closing.
4.2.9 Buyer shall cooperate with Seller and use reasonable efforts to collect any delinquent rent due to Seller under the Leases for a period ending 90 days after Closing; provided, however, that Buyer shall have no obligation to bring any legal action to collect such payment. Seller shall have the right to xxx delinquent Tenants for delinquent rent so long as Seller does not pursue an eviction or cause a termination of any Lease. To the extent any Tenant has the right under its Lease to audit Seller’s books and records, Seller shall allow such access/audit for such purpose for so long as Tenant has such right under its Lease (without regard to the limitation on survival set forth in Section 4.2.10 below).
14
4.2.10 Each party shall have the right after the Closing upon five (5) business days prior written notice to the other party, to review, inspect and audit any and all books, records and other information relating to any proration or adjustment required under this Section 4.2 during mutually agreeable times. Buyer and Seller shall promptly pay to the other party any amount due to the other party as a result of any proration or adjustments to prorations required or made under this Section 4.2. All amounts due hereunder shall be payable no later than twenty (20) days after demand by the payee, and, if such payments duly owing are not then timely paid, then all such amounts shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of fifteen percent (15%) per annum or the maximum amount permitted by law until such time as all such amounts are paid in full. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.2 shall expressly survive the Closing hereunder only for the period of time necessary to achieve final prorations of all amounts due and owing hereunder but in any event no later than one (1) year after the Closing.
4.2.11 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that the Tenant leasing Chickasaw Building M (“Flextronics”) has the right to terminate the Flextronics Lease on or before February 28, 2013. The parties agree as follows with respect to Flextronics right to terminate the Flextronics Lease:
(a) Termination Payment. If Flextronics elects to terminate the Flextronics Lease, Flextronics is required to pay a termination payment to the landlord under the Flextronics Lease in an amount equal to $2,525,678.96 (the “Flextronics Termination Payment”) simultaneously with its notice exercising such right to terminate. If Flextronics exercises its right to terminate the Flextronics Lease prior to Closing, Seller shall immediately notify Buyer of such termination, provide Buyer with a copy of Flextronics’ termination notice, and confirm Seller’s receipt of the Flextronics Termination Payment. If the Flextronics Termination Payment (or any portion thereof) is paid to Seller prior to Closing, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in an amount equal to the Flextronics Termination Payment.
(b) Allowance and Commission. In the event Flextronics does not terminate the Flextronics Lease on or before February 28, 2013, the landlord under the Lease will owe Flextronics a tenant improvement allowance of up to $218,970.00 (the “Flextronics Allowance”) and will owe a leasing commission in the amount of $104,463.00 (the “Flextronics Commission”). At Closing, Seller shall place $323,433.00 (the sum of the Flextronics Allowance and the Flextronics Commission) in an escrow with the Escrow Agent pursuant to an escrow agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Buyer, which escrow agreement shall address, among other things, the matters set forth in this Section 4.2.11. In the event Flextronics terminates the Flextronics Lease on or before February 28, 2013, the escrow agreement shall provide that the Flextronics Allowance and Flextronics Commission shall be returned to Seller by the Escrow Agent. In the event Flextronics does not terminate the Flextronics Lease on or before February 28, 2013, the escrow agreement shall provide that the Flextronics Allowance and the Flextronics Commission shall be paid to Buyer by Escrow Agent. Buyer, as landlord, shall thereafter disburse and apply the Flextronics Allowance and the Flextronics Commission pursuant to the terms of the Flextronics Lease. Requests for disbursement of the Flextronics Allowance shall be
15
subject to the review and approval of Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, without any requirement for Seller consent (and Seller shall have no right to object to any disbursements made by Buyer of the Flextronics Allowance). Buyer agrees that in the event that the amounts disbursed by Buyer, as landlord, in connection with the installation and completion of the tenant improvements by Flextronics is less than the amount of the Flextronics Allowance, Buyer will promptly pay to Seller the amount equal to the difference between the full amount of the Flextronics Allowance and the amount of the Flextronics Allowance actually utilized. The terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.2.11 shall expressly survive the Closing hereunder.
Section 5. Title to the Property. Seller shall convey good and indefeasible fee simple title to the Land and the Improvements to Buyer in the form of the applicable Deed, subject only to the Permitted Title Exceptions. Buyer shall order a current owner’s title insurance commitment or commitments with respect to the Land and Improvements from the Title Insurer, together with legible copies of all of the underlying exception documents shown on Schedule B-2 thereof (the “Title Commitment”), and provide the Title Commitment to Seller. Buyer shall have until the Inspection Date by which to examine title to the Property as disclosed by the Title Commitment and Survey and to give written notice to Seller of any objections which Buyer may have. If Buyer fails to give any notice to Seller by such date, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved any title exceptions or defects disclosed in the Title Commitment and Survey. If Buyer does give Seller timely notice of objection to title exceptions or defects disclosed in the Title Commitment and Survey, Seller shall then have the right, but not the obligation, for a period of five (5) business days after such notice, to cure or satisfy, or undertake to cure or satisfy by the Closing, such objection. If Seller does not cure or satisfy or undertake by written notice to Buyer to cure or satisfy such objections within the five (5) business day period, then Buyer may elect, by written notice to Seller on or before the sixth (6th) business day following such notice, either to (a) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money, less the Independent Consideration to be delivered to Seller, shall be returned to Buyer by Escrow Agent, and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive any such termination, or (b) waive its objections hereunder and proceed with the transaction pursuant to the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement. If Buyer fails to give Seller notice of its election by such time, it shall be deemed to have elected the option contained in subparagraph (b) above. If Seller does so cure or satisfy or give notice of its undertaking to cure or satisfy such objection within the time allowed, then this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, subject to Seller so curing such objections, which shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close. Buyer shall have the right at any time to waive any objections that it may have made and, thereby, to preserve this Agreement in full force and effect. Seller agrees not to further voluntarily alter or encumber in any way Seller’s title to the Property after the Contract Date (except for entering into new leases or renewing existing Leases to the extent permitted by Section 9.1 below) without Buyer’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Seller shall give Buyer notice of any such proposed alteration or encumbrance and Buyer shall then have five (5) business days in which to elect, by written notice to Seller on or before such fifth (5th) day, either to (i) consent to the change, or (ii) object, in which event Buyer
16
shall set forth and deliver in writing to Seller its reasons for doing so. If Buyer has not given Seller notice of its election by the end of the fifth (5th) day, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to consent to the change. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5, Seller shall remove all mortgages encumbering the Property, and shall remove or bond over to Buyer’s and the Title Insurer’s reasonable satisfaction any other monetary liens and security interests in or against the Property, to the extent any such mortgages or other monetary liens and security interests arise by, through or under Seller, and are not the result of Buyer’s or Buyer’s agents’ actions. Between the Inspection Date and the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to request updates to the Title Commitment and/or Survey and object to any new matters of title or survey not contained in the original Title Commitment and/or Survey other than immaterial matters. If Buyer so objects and Seller elects to undertake to cure such objections (in the manner provided above for the initial title objections), Seller may extend the Closing by up to thirty (30) days to attempt to cure such objections. If Seller is unable or unwilling to cure any such new objection, Buyer shall have the rights as provided above in the event Seller fails to cure or satisfy or undertake to cure or satisfy Buyer’s initial objections, provided Buyer gives Seller notice of its election prior to Closing (as same may be extended).

Flextronics Lease), has been, or is being, terminated due to a reason other than (i) a Landlord Default Event (as defined in the Flextronics Lease) or (ii) an Option Exercise (as defined in the Flextronics Lease) that occurred prior to the occurrence of any Permitted Option Exercise Event and that, as of the date of the estoppel certificate, Flextronics has received no notice and has no knowledge of any additional tax liability or recapture payments related to real estate taxes with respect to its premises (including any “Post-Termination Recapture Payments” as defined in the Flextronics Lease) as a result of the termination of the PILOT Lease, the removal of its premises from the PILOT Program or otherwise, and (d) such other tenants who, together with the Major Tenants and Bunzl or BoundTree, as applicable, occupy at least seventy-seven percent (77%) of the total leased square footage under all of the Leases, be received; (ii) no material default or claim by landlord or tenant shall have arisen under any Lease that was not specifically disclosed in the Rent Roll or actually known to Buyer by the Inspection Date and (iii) between the Inspection Date and the Closing, no Major Tenant has (1) terminated, or given notice of intent to terminate, its Lease, (2) vacated, abandoned, or ceased operations, or (3) filed for voluntary bankruptcy or be subject to an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of the occurrence of an item set forth in subsections (iii)(1), (iii)(2) or (iii)(3) above with respect to any Major Tenant(s), Buyer shall have the right (at its option) to terminate this Agreement with respect to each Building and all Property related to such Building (the “Excluded Property”) subject to Leases with such Major Tenant(s), in which event (x) the Excluded Property shall be excluded from this transaction and Buyer shall have no further obligations with respect to same, (y) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the dollar amount allocated to the Excluded Property under Section 4.1, and (z) the portion of the Xxxxxxx Money attributable to the Excluded Property shall be returned to Buyer by Escrow Agent, but this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect with respect to the balance of the Property. The Xxxxxxx Money attributable to the Excluded Property shall be determined by multiplying the Xxxxxxx Money by a fraction, the numerator of which is the dollar amount allocated to the Excluded Property under Section 4.1 and the denominator of which is the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the form of Tenant Estoppel Certificate on Exhibit H contains a joinder by any Guarantor of each Lease. In the event that a Tenant Estoppel Certificate is returned without the joinder signed by any Guarantor, this fact alone shall not be deemed to cause the Tenant Estoppel Certificate to be disqualified for purposes hereof, unless the Lease specifically requires the Tenant to obtain the Guarantor’s signature. As of the Contract Date, the Major Tenants are the following (each a Major Tenant and collectively, the “Major Tenants”): (i) Ozark Automotive Distributors, Inc. (SouthPoint F); (ii) Xxxx Warehousing, Inc. (Westfork A5); (iii) Global Experience Specialists, Inc.

27
If Seller is unable to obtain and deliver sufficient tenant estoppel certificates as required under this Section 9.2, or if the certificates received contain material information or omissions unacceptable to Buyer in its reasonable discretion and Buyer objects thereto by written notice to Seller within two (2) business days after receipt by Buyer of the objectionable estoppel, but in any event on or before the Closing Date, then Seller will not be in default by reason thereof, and either Seller or Buyer may elect to extend the Closing Date by up to thirty (30) days in order to provide Seller with additional time to satisfy the requirement. If Seller still cannot satisfy the requirement at the end of such extended period, then Buyer may, by written notice given to Seller before the Closing, elect to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money, less the Independent Consideration, or waive said condition. If Buyer so elects to terminate this Agreement, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except those that expressly survive a termination hereof. If no such notice is delivered by Buyer, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such condition.
(b) Other Estoppels. Buyer shall have the right to request estoppel certificates from owners’ associations, master associations and other applicable third parties under property owners’ association documents, CCRs, reciprocal easement agreements, development agreements and other instruments, and Seller shall cooperate with Buyer, at no expense or cost to Seller, to obtain said estoppels prior to the Closing Date, however, receipt of such estoppels shall not be a condition of Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall provide estoppel certificates from any owners’ and/or master associations controlled by Seller or its affiliates in the form(s) mutually agreed to by Buyer and Seller prior to the Inspection Date.
(c) SNDAs. If requested by Buyer, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to each Tenant, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in the form required by Buyer’s lender if same is required by such lender, provided that receipt of such agreements by Buyer or its lender (and the execution and delivery of such agreements by the Tenants) shall not be a condition to Closing. Within three (3) business days following receipt of the completed form of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement for such Tenant from Buyer, Seller shall deliver such agreement to such Tenant and shall reasonably facilitate Buyer contacting all Tenants with regard to such agreements in connection with the negotiation and procurement thereof by Buyer.
(d) Open/Expired Permits. Prior to Closing, Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all “open” and/or “expired” building and other permits for any work that has been completed at the Property by or on behalf of Seller or any of the Tenants to be duly and properly “closed out” as required by applicable law, provided, however, that the closure of all or any such “open” and/or “expired” permits shall not be a condition of Closing. Buyer shall provide Seller with a list of open and/or expired permits relating to the Property prior to the Inspection Date. Seller shall thereafter keep Buyer reasonably apprised of its progress in closing out such permits (including promptly providing Buyer with evidence of proper closure upon receipt of same). In the event any such “open” and/or “expired” permits are not “closed out” at Closing, Seller shall diligently pursue the closure of such permits after Closing in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.2(d). The terms and conditions set forth in this Section 9.2(d) shall expressly survive the Closing hereunder.
28
Section 10. Other Covenants and Conditions of Closing.
10.1 Withdrawal from Market. So long as Buyer has not defaulted under this Agreement or committed an anticipatory breach of this Agreement, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly through any officer, director, employee, stockholder, agent, partner, member, manager, affiliate, or otherwise (a) enter into any agreement, agreement in principle or other commitment (whether or not legally binding) relating to the Property or the purchase of a material portion of the Property, or transfer (directly or indirectly) of a majority ownership interest in Seller (a “Competing Transaction”), (b) solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any person or entity (including any of its officers, directors, partners, members, managers, employees, or agents) relating to any Competing Transaction, or (c) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish to any other person or entity any information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate with, assist, participate in, facilitate, or encourage, any effort or attempt by any person or entity to effect a Competing Transaction. The parties hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that the provisions of the Section 10.1 shall not apply to any prior marketing campaigns by Seller with respect to the sale or leasing of all or any of the Buildings, including, without limitation, any offering memorandums, websites, data rooms or other due diligence materials previously distributed or made available by or on behalf of Seller in connection with any such marketing campaigns.
10.2 Seller’s Insurance. Until Closing, Seller agrees to continue to maintain insurance regarding the Property consistent with the insurance in place as of the Contract Date subject to any changes required by Seller’s insurance company if renewal occurs prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that (a) Seller shall notify Buyer not less than five (5) days prior to the Inspection Date of any such changes that will take effect prior to the Closing Date, and (b) Seller agrees that no changes shall be made to Seller’s insurance that would reduce its insurance coverage for the Property between the Inspection Date and the Closing Date.
10.4 Seller’s Internal Corporate Approval. Seller has not received internal corporate authority for the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and Seller does not give Buyer any assurances or make any representations with respect to whether or not such approval will be obtained. Seller’s obligation to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is subject to receipt of internal corporate authority. If Seller does not receive internal corporate authority on or before three (3) business days after the Contract Date, then Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer no later than the end of such three (3) business day period, whereupon the Xxxxxxx Money will be returned to Buyer, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer’s actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the investigation of the Property and negotiation of this Agreement up to a maximum amount of $200,000.00, and Seller and Buyer will have no further rights or obligations to each other under this Agreement (with the exception of those
29
rights and obligations which expressly survive termination). If Seller fails to deliver such notice of termination prior to the end of such three (3) business day period, Seller’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section shall be deemed waived.
Section 11. Closing.
11.1 Time and Place. Provided that all of the conditions set forth in this Agreement are theretofore fully satisfied or performed, the Closing shall occur through an escrow closing with the Escrow Agent, on a date selected by Buyer (and agreed to by Seller) by no less than five (5) business days’ prior written notice to Seller, which closing date shall be on or before December 12, 2012 (such date referred to herein as, the “Closing Date”), unless the Closing Date is further extended pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by Seller and Buyer in writing. If the conditions to Buyer’s obligation to close are not satisfied by the Closing Date (as may be extended pursuant to the express terms hereof), the Buyer shall either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money (less the Independent Consideration) shall be refunded to Buyer or (ii) waive the condition and proceed to close; provided, that if the failure of a condition is the result of a default by Seller, Buyer shall also have the right to pursue its remedies pursuant to Section 12.2 hereof.

31
11.3 Costs. At the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall pay their own respective costs incurred with respect to the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property as contemplated herein, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees. All other closing costs shall be paid by Seller and Buyer in accordance with local custom in the applicable jurisdictions.

Seller shall deliver to Buyer or make available at the Property a set of keys to each of the Buildings on the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 11.5 shall survive Closing.
Section 12. Default and Remedies.
12.1 Buyer’s Default. In the event that this transaction fails to Close due to a default by Buyer under the terms of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall disburse the Xxxxxxx Money to Seller, and Seller shall be entitled, as its SOLE AND
32
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY HEREUNDER, to retain the Xxxxxxx Money as full liquidated damages for such default of Buyer, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive any such termination. It is hereby agreed that Seller’s damages in the event of a default by Buyer hereunder are uncertain and difficult to ascertain, and that the Xxxxxxx Money constitutes a reasonable liquidation of such damages and is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages. Buyer and Seller covenant not to bring any action or suit challenging this provision or the amount of liquidated damages provided hereunder in the event of such default. This provision shall expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.
12.2 Seller’s Default. In the event that this transaction fails to Close due to a default by Seller under the terms of this Agreement, Buyer’s SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES HEREUNDER shall be either (i) to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money (less the Independent Consideration), in which event Seller shall also reimburse Buyer upon demand for its documented reasonable and actual out of pocket expenses incurred in the investigation of the Property and negotiation of this Agreement, up to but not to exceed $225,000.00, or (ii) to seek specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, without any reduction in the Purchase Price. Buyer shall have no right to seek or recover from Seller any damages resulting from the failure of this transaction to close due to a default by Seller, except for reimbursement of investigation costs as provided above. This provision shall expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.
12.3 Seller’s Misrepresentation or Breach of Warranty. In the event of a misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Seller under Section 8 of this Agreement which is first discovered by Buyer after the Closing Date but within one (1) year after the Closing Date, Buyer shall notify Seller, in writing, of the specifics of such default. If such misrepresentation or warranty is reasonably capable of cure, Seller shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of Buyer’s notice in which to cure said default (or such longer time if such default cannot be reasonably cured within said sixty (60) day period, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days). If Seller is unable to cure said default within said cure period, Buyer’s sole recourse against Seller shall be to file an action or proceeding against Seller for the actual damages (to the exclusion of any consequential or punitive damages) suffered by Buyer as a direct result of such default. No action or proceeding thereon of any kind whatsoever shall be valid or enforceable, at law or in equity, if not commenced with a court of competent jurisdiction within one (1) year after the Closing Date; provided, however, this one (1) year period shall be extended as required to provide for Seller’s cure rights described above.
Section 13. Condemnation or Destruction.
13.1 Condemnation. Seller hereby represents and warrants that Seller has no knowledge of any action or proceeding pending, instituted or threatened for condemnation or other taking of all or any part of the Property by friendly acquisition or statutory proceeding. Seller agrees to give Buyer immediate written notice of such actions or proceedings that may result in the taking of all or a part of the Property. If,
33
prior to the Closing, all or any material part of the Property is subject to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body having the power of eminent domain, or is taken by eminent domain or condemnation, or sale in lieu thereof, then Buyer, by written notice to Seller, to be received within fifteen (15) calendar days of Buyer’s receiving Seller’s notice of such threat, condemnation or taking, or by the Closing Date, whichever is earlier, may elect to terminate this Agreement.
13.2 Damage or Destruction. If, prior to the Closing, all or any material part of the Property is materially damaged or destroyed by any cause, Seller agrees to give Buyer immediate written notice of such occurrence and the nature and extent of such damage and destruction, and Buyer, by written notice to Seller, to be received within thirty (30) calendar days of Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s notice of such damage or destruction, or by the Closing Date, whichever is earlier, may elect to terminate this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 13.2, “materially” means (i) requiring more than $1,000,000.00 to repair any Improvements or (ii) entitling Tenants or Major Tenants occupying over 25% of currently leased space in a Building to terminate their Leases (which termination right is not waived in writing by such Tenant or Major Tenant as applicable). If the Property is not materially damaged, then Buyer shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement.
13.3 Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as a result of the provisions of either Section 13.1 or Section 13.2 hereof, Buyer shall be entitled to receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money from Escrow Agent (less the Independent Consideration), whereupon the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive any such termination.
13.4 Awards and Proceeds. If Buyer does not elect to or is not entitled to terminate this Agreement following any notice of a threat of taking or taking by condemnation or notice of damage or destruction to the Property, as provided above, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the conveyance of the Property contemplated herein, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, or sale in lieu thereof, shall be effected with no further adjustments. At the Closing, (i) Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any awards, payments or insurance proceeds for (a) the actual value of the property lost or destroyed and (b) the cost to repair the remaining Property (in the case of a taking) or the cost to repair the Property, up to but not in excess of the Purchase Price, that have been or may thereafter be made for any such taking, sale in lieu thereof or damage or destruction, to the extent such awards, payments or proceeds shall not have theretofore been used for restoration of the Property pursuant to a plan of restoration approved in writing by Buyer or pursuant to the Leases, (ii) Buyer shall assume the responsibility for the performance or completion of the repair or restoration, as the case may be, at Closing, and (iii) in the case of damage or destruction, (a) Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing in an amount equal to Seller’s deductible under its casualty insurance policy, and (b) Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer to collect the insurance proceeds due from Seller’s insurer, which obligation shall survive the Closing; provided, however, that in connection with any such damage or destruction to the Property (and not in connection with any such taking), if Seller shall have commenced restoration of
34
the Property pursuant to a plan of restoration approved in writing by Buyer or pursuant to the Leases prior to Closing, then, at Seller’s option, and in lieu of the assignment, assumption and credit contemplated by parts (i), (ii) and (iii)(a) above, Seller shall have the right to escrow with the Escrow Agent at Closing pursuant to an escrow agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Buyer an amount equal to the reasonably estimated cost to complete such restoration (the “Repair Deposit”), provided that the Repair Deposit need not be in excess of (i) the balance of any unused insurance proceeds received by Seller in connection with such damage or destruction, plus (ii) any deductible under Seller’s casualty insurance policy, and provided, further, that such escrow agreement will provide that (a) any portion of the Repair Deposit remaining in escrow following completion of such restoration by Buyer shall be returned to Seller, and (b) Buyer shall be responsible for the cost of completion of such restoration in excess of the Repair Deposit.
Section 14. Assignment.
14.1 Assignment by Buyer. Except as herein expressly provided, Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, assign any of Buyer’s rights hereunder or any part thereof to any person, firm, partnership, corporation or other entity. Buyer may assign this Agreement to one or more Affiliates, or to a qualified intermediary pursuant to Section 18.13 without Seller’s consent. If any assignment is made with the consent of Seller or as otherwise expressly provided herein, then the sale contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated in the name of, and by and through the authorized officials of, any such assignee(s), but Buyer shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement. If Buyer assigns this Agreement to more than one assignee, (i) Seller shall transfer the Property through separate Closing Documents to Buyer’s designated assignee for each parcel or parcels of Land and applicable Improvements in the form required by this Agreement, (ii) the parties shall agree to an allocation of the Purchase Price among such Land and Improvements for tax reporting and accounting purposes at or prior to Closing (if further allocation beyond Section 4.1 is necessary) and (iii) the liability of the multiple Buyers under this Agreement to Seller that survives Closing shall be joint and several. “Affiliate” means (a) an entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Buyer or (b) an entity at least a majority of whose economic interest is owned by Buyer; and the term “control” means the power to direct the management of such entity through voting rights or ownership. This Section 14.1 shall expressly survive Closing.
14.2 Assignment by Seller. From and after the Contract Date, Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent Buyer may withhold in its sole discretion, assign, transfer, convey, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its right, title and interest in the Property.
35
Section 15. Buyer’s Representations and Warranties.
15.1 Buyer does hereby represent and warrant to Seller as of the Contract Date and the Closing Date that it is a validly formed limited liability company under the laws of Delaware; that it is in good standing in the state of its organization; that it is not subject to any involuntary proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation thereof; that, in the event it does not terminate this Agreement prior to the Inspection Date, it shall, prior to Closing, have obtained all requisite authorizations to enter into this Agreement with Seller and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; and that the parties executing this Agreement on behalf of Buyer are duly authorized to so do.
15.2 Buyer does hereby represent and warrant to Seller as of the Contract Date and the Closing Date that Buyer is not, and will not be, a person or entity with whom Seller is restricted from doing business under the USA Patriot Act and/or Anti-Terrorism Laws, including without limitation persons and entities named on the Office of Foreign Asset Control Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List.
15.3 (a) Buyer is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “plan” as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, which is subject to Section 4975 of the Code; and (b) based on the publicly offered securities exemption of applicable plan asset regulations, the assets of Buyer do not constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans for purposes of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; and (c) Buyer is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and, based on the publicly offered securities exemption of applicable plan asset regulations, assets of Buyer do not constitute plan assets of one or more such plans.
Section 16. Broker and Broker’s Commission.
16.1 No broker or other real estate agent has participated in this transaction.
16.2 Buyer and Seller each warrant and represent to the other that, such party has not employed a real estate broker or agent in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from any loss or cost suffered or incurred by it as a result of the other’s representation herein being untrue. This Section 16 shall expressly survive the Closing hereunder.
Section 17. Notices.
Wherever any notice or other communication is required or permitted hereunder, such notice or other communication shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand, by nationally-recognized overnight express delivery service, by U. S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by electronic transfer (either e-mail or pdf) with prompt telephone confirmation to the addresses set out below or at such other addresses as are specified by written notice delivered in accordance herewith:

18.13 Like-Kind Exchange. Seller acknowledges that Buyer may desire to acquire the Property as part of a like-kind exchange transaction that would qualify under Sections 1031 and/or 1033 of the Internal Revenue Code for non-recognition treatment. At Buyer’s election, Seller agrees, at Buyer’s expense, to cooperate with Buyer in effecting a qualifying like-kind exchange through a trust or other means determined by Buyer, and Seller shall execute such documents as may be reasonably requested by Buyer; provided: (a) Seller shall have no liability under such documents, and (b) such documents contain no language or provisions which would cause Seller to become part of the chain of title with respect to any other property which is part of the exchange. Seller makes no representations to Buyer regarding qualification of the exchange under Section 1031 and/or 1033 of the Internal Revenue Code and Seller shall not be liable to Buyer in any manner whatsoever if the exchange completed in accordance with this paragraph should not qualify for any reason under Sections 1031 and/or 1033 of the Internal Revenue Code.

If litigation or arbitration is required by either party to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party of such action or arbitration shall, in addition to all other relief granted or awarded by the court or arbitrator, be awarded costs and reasonable third party attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements (excluding those of in-house counsel) and expert witnesses fees and costs incurred by reason of such action or arbitration and those incurred in preparation thereof at both the trial or arbitration and appellate levels.

No later than ten (10) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller agrees to deliver a CBS-1 Notice of Sale or Purchase of Business Assets (“Bulk Sales Notice”) to the Illinois Department of Revenue (“DOR”) in order to allow the DOR to make a determination as to whether Seller has an assessed, but unpaid, amount of tax, penalties, or interest under 35ILCS 5/902 (d) or 35 ILCS 120/5j (collectively, the “Act”). Seller shall provide Buyer with a copy of such notice simultaneously with its delivery thereof to the DOR. On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller will either (i) deliver either notice of a release or evidence of a deemed release (as evidenced by a non-response to a delivered Bulk Sales Notice within the time frames allowed) from the DOR, (ii) pay all amounts shown on any Bulk Sales Stop Order showing outstanding taxes or other sums due and payable to DOR, and deliver evidence of such payment to Buyer, or (iii) indemnify Buyer for any obligations shown on a Bulk Sales Stop Order, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and Seller. The indemnification obligations contained in this Section 19 shall survive the Closing and shall not be subject to any of the provisions of this Agreement limiting or restricting Seller’s liability, including but not limited to Section 21.
41
Section 20. Information and Audit Confirmation. At any time within one (1) year after Closing, Seller shall allow Buyer’s auditors access to the books and records of Seller and the working papers of Seller’s independent auditors relating to the operation of the Property for three (3) years prior to Closing to enable Buyer to comply with any financial reporting requirements applicable to Buyer. In addition, within ten (10) days of Buyer’s written request, Seller shall provide Buyer’s designated independent auditors an “Audit Letter” regarding the books and records of the Property for such three (3) year period in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit R. All third party, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Seller in assisting Buyer in the foregoing activities shall be paid for by Buyer. All books, records and materials shall be provided without representation or warranty as to accuracy or completeness or otherwise, except as provided in the Audit Letter. All such activities described in this Section 20 shall be conducted at Seller’s or its agent’s place of business in a commercially reasonable fashion during normal business hours. This Section 20 shall expressly survive Closing.

The limitation under Section 21.2(a) shall not apply to (i) any warranty of title in the Deed; however, Buyer agrees that it shall pursue the Title Insurer under its title policy(ies) with respect to any claim relating to the warranty of title under the Deed prior to bringing an action against Seller, (ii) any fraud by Seller or any Seller Related Parties, or (iii) attorneys’ fees incurred by Buyer if Buyer is the prevailing party in any action or proceeding based on a breach by Seller of any representation or warranty. The limitation under Section 21.2(b) shall not apply to any post-closing true-ups or reconciliations under Section 4.2 of this Agreement.
21.3 By its execution hereof, Industrial Developments International, Inc. hereby (a) guarantees up to a maximum of $900,000.00 of the liabilities of Seller for any breach of any representation or warranty by Seller under this Agreement or any Closing Document (excluding, however, any warranty of title in the Deed), (b) guarantees Seller’s obligations with respect to post-closing true-ups and reconciliations under Section 4.2 of this Agreement (provided, however, that such guaranty shall only apply to actual amounts owed by Seller to Buyer pursuant to said true-ups and reconciliations and shall not apply to any other costs, expenses or damages incurred by Buyer in connection therewith), and (c) agrees to maintain a tangible net worth in an amount not less than $900,000.00 for a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date.
