Such insurance coverage shall be maintained by Purchaser as long as this Agreement remains in force and effect. Purchaser shall not unreasonably interfere with the activity of Seller, tenants or any persons occupying or providing service at the Property, and will not prior to closing reveal to any third party not entitled to receive confidential information pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.6 below, or otherwise approved by Seller, the results of Purchaser’s inspections (unless Purchaser is otherwise required by law to disclose such results). Purchaser shall give Seller reasonable, but in no event less than two business days, prior notice of Purchaser’s intention to conduct any inspections. In the event that the inspections to be conducted by Purchaser include intrusive physical or environmental testing of, on or under the Property, such notice from Purchaser shall be in writing and shall provide a reasonably detailed description of the type, scope and manner of
 

7

the inspections to be conducted, as well as a written request for Seller’s consent to such inspections. Seller reserves the right to have a representative present during any or all such inspections. In the event Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or in the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof, Purchaser agrees to provide to Seller copies of all reports and studies prepared by outside consultants, if any, other than legal counsel, retained by Purchaser, of environmental or other inspections conducted by or on behalf of Purchaser; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, Purchaser makes no representations or warranties of any kind or any nature with respect to the accuracy or completeness, methodology of preparation or otherwise, concerning the contents of any such reports, studies, information and/or other materials, except that Purchaser shall have no actual knowledge of any deficiency or inaccuracy with respect thereto, it being understood and agreed that all such information provided by Purchaser to Seller hereunder is made available as an accommodation to Seller, with the understanding and agreement that Seller shall not rely upon any such documents or information. Purchaser agrees at its own expense promptly to restore the Property if any inspection or test requires or results in any damage to or alteration of its condition. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any claims, loss, injury, liability, damage or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of (a) a breach by Purchaser of the foregoing agreements or of the terms of the Access Agreement; (b) the exercise by Purchaser or its agents or representatives of the right of access under this Section 3.1 or the Access Agreement; (c) the failure of Purchaser to restore the Property in accordance with this Section 3.1; and (d) any claims, suits, actions or the assertion of any other rights by or on behalf of any tenant, invitee, guest or other party alleging personal injury or property damage caused by or arising out of the matters set forth in subsections (a), (b) and/or (c), above (collectively, the “Indemnity Obligations”).
 
3.1.3       Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller makes no representations or warranties as to the truth or accuracy of any materials, data or other information, including without limitation the contents of Seller’s or its property manager’s books and records, the Leases, the Contracts, the Environmental Reports, rent rolls or income and expenses statements, supplied to Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s inspection of the Property. It is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that all such materials are provided by Seller solely for Purchaser’s convenience in making its own examination and determination prior to the Approval Date as to whether it wishes to purchase the Property, and, in making such examination and determination, Purchaser shall rely exclusively on its own independent investigation and evaluation of the Property and not on any materials supplied by Seller or its agents or representatives; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, Seller represents that Seller has no actual knowledge of any inaccuracy, incompleteness or other deficiency with respect to such information and reports. 
 
3.1.4       All agreements of, and indemnifications by Purchaser under this Section 3.1 and the Access Agreement shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement. Any inspections undertaken by Purchaser of the Property shall be at Purchaser's sole risk and expense.

Approval Date. If Purchaser gives notice of approval the Additional Deposit shall become nonrefundable except in the event of Seller's default or as otherwise provided herein. In the event that, by such date and time, Purchaser fails to deliver written notice to Seller approving this Agreement, such failure shall be deemed to be an election of Purchaser to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser timely terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.5 (by either giving written notice of termination or failing to give written notice of approval), the Additional Deposit and all interest thereon shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations or liability hereunder, except for the Surviving Obligations as defined in Section 11.20 hereof.  
 
3.6       Confidentiality.
 
Unless Seller specifically and expressly otherwise agrees in writing, Purchaser agrees that all documents and information regarding the Property of whatsoever nature made available to it by Seller or Seller’s agents or representatives whether pursuant to Sections 1.2.2 or 1.2.3 or otherwise, and the results of all tests and studies of the Property (collectively, the “Proprietary Information”) are proprietary and confidential and Purchaser shall not disclose to any other person except: (i) those individuals or entities assisting Purchaser in the transaction or Purchaser’s lender, if any, and then only upon Purchaser making such individuals, entities or lenders aware of the confidentiality restrictions and procuring such individual’s, entity’s or lender’s agreement to be bound thereby, and to Purchaser’s attorneys and other professionals who are bound to maintain the business confidences of Purchaser; (ii) as required by any Federal, state or local regulation and/or statute; (iii) as required in order to obtain any approval, permit or license required by Purchaser with respect to the Property; (iv) as required by any court of competent jurisdiction; or (v) to the extent such matters and/or information have become public through no fault of Purchaser. In the event the purchase and sale contemplated hereby fails to close for any reason whatsoever, Purchaser agrees to return to Seller, or cause to be delivered to Seller all Proprietary Information. Further, Purchaser agrees not to use or allow to be used any Proprietary Information for any purpose other than to determine whether to proceed with the contemplated purchase, or if same is consummated, in connection with the operation of the Property post-Closing. Purchaser shall indemnify Seller against all costs, claims and damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, suffered or sustained as the result of Purchaser’s breach of the covenants contained in this Section 3.6. All obligations of Purchaser under this Section 3.6 shall be referred to as the “Confidentiality Obligations” and shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement.
 
3.7      Remediation.
 
3.7.1       Seller is a party to that certain Abatement Order on Consent for Site Characterization executed on June 13, 2002 (the “AOC”), that certain Order Approving Settlement Agreement dated April 26, 2005 and that certain Site Participation Agreement dated August 24, 2005 (the “Participation Agreement”), each as executed by and among the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (“MDNR”), Seller, and the FI Missouri Remediation Trust (collectively, the "Settlement Parties"). Pursuant to the Participation Agreement, the Settlement Parties desire to implement the AOC and desire to formulate a coordinated effort for the remedial investigation and response activities at the Property pursuant to the Participation Agreement for
 

11

the purposes of satisfying the AOC and obtaining a "no further action" or comparable letter from the MDNR with respect to the Property. Seller shall provide Purchaser with a copy of document(s) approved by the MDNR that describe work required for obtaining a "no further action" status on the Property (the "NFA Work") prior to the Date of Closing. If MDNR, pursuant to the AOC, does not approve document(s) acceptable to Seller describing the NFA Work prior to the Date of Closing, and such condition is not waived by Seller, then, upon written notice from Seller to Purchaser given five (5) business days prior to Closing, this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser as its sole remedy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, in its sole discretion, extend the Date of Closing for up to thirty (30) days in order to obtain MDNR approval for the NFA Work, by written notice from Seller to Purchaser given five (5) business days prior to the then scheduled Date of Closing. If the NFA Work is approved by MDNR, pursuant to the AOC, prior to the Date of Closing, as it may be extended herein, Seller agrees that it will cause, at its cost and expense, the implementation of those remedial investigation and response activities required for purposes of satisfying the NFA Work requirements and obtaining a "no further action" letter or similar written evidence from MDNR or such other appropriate governmental entities or entity that all required remediation has been completed to MDNR's satisfaction (“No Further Action Standard”). The "no further action" letter to be obtained by Seller shall be deemed acceptable to Purchaser so long as it does not (a) contain any restrictions that prevent the existing conditions and uses currently on the Property, and (b) impose any financial obligation on the Purchaser. Once the No Further Action Standard has been met, Seller shall automatically be forever released from any and all responsibility for environmental conditions at the Property. This Section 3.7.1 shall survive the Closing indefinitely.
 

3.7.2       Seller’s Post-Closing Right of Access. From and after the Date of Closing, and upon notice given at least 24 hours in advance (except that Seller shall not be required to give prior notice in the event of an emergency or similar situation where, in Seller's reasonable business judgment, entry prior to advance notice is warranted), Seller may enter the Property to conduct any post-Closing inspections or tests necessary for the purpose of completing the NFA Work (the “Seller Occupation”). Purchaser waives any claim for damages or for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Seller’s business, loss or occupancy or quite enjoyment of the Property and other loss occasioned thereby as a result of the Seller Occupation. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any claims, loss, injury, liability, damage or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, during the Seller Occupation or any act or negligence of Purchaser or its agents or representatives that in any way adversely impacts Seller’s completion of the NFA Work. Purchaser hereby assumes all risk of damage to the property or injury to persons in or upon the Property after the Date of Closing from any cause other than the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller, its agents or representatives, and Purchaser hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Seller. Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any claims, loss, injury, liability, damage or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, caused by the act or negligence of Seller or its agents or representatives and directly related to the Seller Occupation. Purchaser agrees that it shall not unreasonably interfere with Seller's pursuit of the No Further Action Standard and that it shall not

12

relocate, cover or damage any items installed on the Property as part of Seller's NFA Work, including but not limited to, monitoring xxxxx. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller will use certain funds being held in escrow as described in the Site Participation Agreement in order to complete the NFA Work. The funds available for the NFA Work are approximately $767,000, based on account statements that have been provided by Seller to Purchaser. In the event those funds are not sufficient to being the Property to the No Further Action Standard, then Seller shall be responsible for any excess costs required in connection therewith. Conversely, in the event that there are excess funds available after completion of the NFA Work, such funds will become the property of Seller and, except as set forth in Section 3.7.3 below, Purchaser expressly disclaims any rights in connection therewith. Seller agrees that it shall commence the NFA Work within a reasonable time frame after all required approvals and permits are obtained, and shall perform the NFA Work (a) in a diligent fashion, using licensed contractors, (b) with such insurance coverage pertaining to liabilities arising out of the work as is then customarily maintained with respect to such activities, and (c) in material compliance with all applicable environmental laws. Seller further agrees to provide semi-annual status reports to Purchaser, commencing January 15, 2007, which will identify (i) the portions of the NFA Work completed, (ii) the portions of the NFA Work remaining, (iii) the amounts expended, and (iv) the amounts remaining in the remediation accounts. This Section 3.7.2 shall survive the Closing.

3.7.3       Outside Date of No Further Action Standard. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the No Further Action Standard on or before the date that is the fifth anniversary of the Date of Closing (the "Outside Date"). If Seller is unable to meet the No Further Action Standard on or before the Outside Date, then Purchaser will grant Seller an indefinite extension to continue to pursue the No Further Action Standard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser desires to perform specific remediation work on the Property after the Outside Date, it shall be permitted to do so only after obtaining the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Seller consents to such work being performed, then Purchaser may submit the receipts or invoices for the cost of such work to Seller, and Seller shall authorize the reasonable costs thereof to be paid from the remediation accounts. If the No Further Action Standard is obtained after the Outside Date, then 75% of any excess remaining balance in the remediation accounts that is otherwise due to Seller at the time the No Further Action Standard is obtained shall be transferred by Seller to Purchaser.

4.       Prior to Closing.
 
Until Closing, Seller or Seller’s agents shall:
 
4.1       Insurance.
 
Maintain its existing casualty and liability insurance with respect to the Property and shall deliver a certificate of insurance evidencing the same to Purchaser within five (5) days of the Effective Date, which certificate shall contain a provision which requires that the insurance carrier/agent issuing such certificate provide thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Purchaser before such insurance coverages may be terminated, suspended, cancelled and/or allowed to lapse.
 

13


 
4.2       Operation.
 
Seller shall operate the Property substantially as presently being operated. Seller shall, at Closing, deliver possession of the Property to Purchaser in substantially the same condition as exists on the Effective Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and shall take all necessary actions, excluding major capital improvements, to ensure that the Property is delivered in the aforementioned condition.
 
4.3       New Contracts.
 
Seller shall promptly upon Seller’s execution thereof, but in no event later than the Approval Date, provide to Purchaser a copy of any new Contract, or of any amendment or modification to any existing Contract listed on Exhibit 3.3, attached hereto, entered into by Seller between the Effective Date and the Approval Date. Between the Approval Date and the Date of Closing, Seller will enter into only those Contracts which Seller believes are necessary to carry out its obligations under Section 4.2 hereof and which shall be cancelable on not more than thirty (30) days’ written notice, without the payment of any termination or other similar fee. If Seller enters into any such Contract after the Approval Date, it shall promptly provide written notice thereof to Purchaser and unless Purchaser, within five (5) days after such Seller’s notice, notifies Seller in writing of Purchaser’s intention to assume such Contract, such new Contract shall not be assumed by Purchaser at Closing pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof.
 
4.4       New Leases.
 
Between the Approval Date and the Date of Closing, Seller will not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed: (a) execute any new Leases affecting the Property, or any part thereof; (b) materially amend any existing Lease listed on Exhibit 1.1.5, attached hereto; or (c) terminate (except upon a default by the tenant thereunder) or accept the surrender of any Lease; provided however that Seller is authorized to accept the termination of Leases at the end of their existing terms and to expand, extend or renew any Leases pursuant to expansion, extension or renewal options contained therein. Seller shall provide Purchaser with notice of any Lease that has been terminated or extended pursuant to (c) above.

9.3       Possession.  Purchaser shall be entitled to possession of the Property upon delivery of the Deed to Purchaser.
 
10.       Default.
 
10.1       Purchaser Default.  If Purchaser shall fail or refuse to purchase the Property in violation of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder for any reason other than a default by Seller under this Agreement, or shall otherwise be in default in its obligations hereunder, and shall not have cured such default within ten (10) days after receipt of notice thereof from Seller, Seller shall have as its sole remedy the right to terminate this Agreement and retain the full amount of the Deposit and any interest accrued thereon. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that (a) it would be extremely difficult to accurately determine the amount of damages suffered by Seller as a result of Purchaser’s default hereunder; (b) the Deposit and any interest accrued thereon constitutes a fair and reasonable amount to be received by Seller as agreed and liquidated damages for Purchaser’s default under this Agreement, as well as a fair, reasonable and customary amount to be paid as liquidated damages to a seller in an arm’s length transaction of the type contemplated by this Agreement upon a default by the purchaser thereunder; and (c) receipt by Seller of the Deposit and interest accrued thereon upon Purchaser’s default hereunder shall not constitute a penalty or a forfeiture. In no event shall Seller have the right to bring suit against Purchaser for money damages in the event of a default by Purchaser, except for a suit arising out of the Surviving Obligations or for Purchaser's failure to cause the Title Company to release the Deposit to Seller.
 
10.2       Seller Default.  If Seller shall refuse or fail to convey the Property to Purchaser in violation of Seller’s obligations hereunder for any reason other than a default by Purchaser under this Agreement, and shall not have cured such default within ten (10) days after receipt of notice thereof from Purchaser, Purchaser shall have to choose one of the following as its sole remedy in connection with such breach: (a) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit, or (b) seek specific performance of this Agreement; or (c) waive such breach or default and proceed with Closing. In the event that Purchaser elects to seek specific performance under subsection (b) above, Purchaser hereby agrees that: (i) Purchaser shall bring such action within ninety (90) days after the scheduled Date of Closing, or else such remedy shall be deemed waived; and (ii) in no event shall Seller be obligated to undertake any of the following (A) change the condition of the Property or restore the same after any fire or casualty; (B) expend any
 

23

money (except as provided in Section 3.2 above) or post a bond to remove or insure over a title defect or encumbrance or to correct any matter shown on a survey of the Property; or (C) expend any money to repair, improve or alter the Improvements or any portion thereof, unless the need for such repair, improvement or alteration would otherwise be required pursuant to the terms hereof. If Purchaser does not institute an action for specific performance or damages within ninety (90) days after the scheduled Date of Closing, time being of the essence, and Purchaser has not then elected to waive such default by Seller, Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably elected to exercise the remedy set forth in Section 10.2(a), above. The foregoing shall not affect Purchaser's rights and remedies for Seller's breach of any of the Surviving Obligations.
 
10.3       Attorneys’ Fees.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that either Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall bring a lawsuit against the other party to enforce their respective rights under Section 10.1 and 10.2, above, the losing party shall pay the prevailing party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with such litigation, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees. The “prevailing party” shall be determined by the court hearing such matter.
 
11.       Miscellaneous.
 
11.1       Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits attached hereto, all of which are incorporated by reference, is the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no alternation, modification or interpretation hereof shall be binding unless in writing and signed by both parties.
 
11.2       Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or its application to any party or circumstances shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to such person or circumstances, other than those as to which it is so determined invalid or unenforceable, shall not be effected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
 
11.3       Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Missouri.
 
11.4       Assignability.  Purchaser shall not have the right, without the prior written approval of Seller, to assign or transfer any of Purchaser’s rights, obligations and interests under this Agreement. Any assignment made without Seller’s prior written approval shall be void. No assignment in any event shall release Purchaser herein named from any obligations or liability under this Agreement.
 
11.5       Successors Bound.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Purchaser and Seller and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

It is agreed that all other representations, statements, agreements, warranties and covenants of each party hereunder shall continue to bind the parties and survive Closing pursuant to this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, such representations, statements, agreements, warranties and covenants shall expire automatically without further action of the parties on the first (1st) anniversary of Closing (excluding those for which a longer survivability period is expressed) unless a specific claim in writing with respect to these matters shall have been made, or an action at law or in equity shall have been commenced or filed before such date.
 
11.15       Title Company. In performing any of its duties hereunder, the Title Company shall not incur any liability to anyone for any damages, losses or expenses, except for those arising out of its willful default, negligence or breach of trust or fiduciary duty.

EXHIBIT 3.1.1
 
FORM OF ACCESS AGREEMENT
 
THIS ACCESS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of ___________, 2006, by Cherokee North Kansas City LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Owner”) and Northtown Business Center, L.L.C. (“Inspector”), with reference to the following:
 
A. Owner owns a certain parcel in real property, and all improvements located therein, commonly known as 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, and more specifically described on Exhibit A hereto (“Property”).
 
B. Owner desires to sell the Property, along with certain related personal and intangible property, and Inspector desires to purchase such real, personal and intangible property from Owner, and both parties have entered into a purchase and sale agreement dated June 28, 2006 (the “Purchase Agreement”) to that effect.
 
C. Inspector has requested access to the Property to commence certain due diligence investigations, and Owner is willing to permit such access for certain specified purposes and on certain restrictive conditions.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, with the intent to be legally bound and for consideration the existence and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
 
1. Owner agrees to allow Inspector and Inspector’s engineers, architects and other employees and agents reasonable access to the Property during normal business hours for the limited purposes provided herein.
 
2. Inspector and its engineers, architects, employees, agents and contractors may exercise such access solely for the purposes of (i) reviewing leases, contracts, books and records relating to Property (other then any privileged, proprietary or confidential records), soil reports, environmental studies and reports, surveys, and building and systems plans; (ii) reviewing records relating to operating expenses; and (iii) inspecting the physical condition of the Property and conducting non-intrusive physical and environmental tests and inspections thereof. INSPECTOR SHALL NOT CONDUCT OR ALLOW ANY PHYSICALLY INTRUSIVE TESTING OF, ON OR UNDER THE PROPERTY WITHOUT FIRST OBTAINING OWNER’S WRITTEN CONSENT AS TO THE SCOPE AND TIMING OF THE WORK TO BE PERFORMED, WITHOUT AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF SELLER BEING PRESENT AT ALL TIMES DURING SUCH TESTING, AND THE PARTIES ENTER INTO AN AMENDMENT HERETO ADDING AN EXHIBIT B MEMORIALIZING SUCH SCOPE OF WORK AND ANY ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO SUCH TESTING. For purposes hereof, the term “non-intrusive physical inspection” shall include soil borings and/or soil samples taken from the unimproved portions of the Property provided that no physical improvements are damaged and/or penetrated in connection with such tests and/or inspections and provided further that: (i) all such tests and studies shall be
 


conducted in a reasonable manner so as not to interfere or disrupt Owner’s or any tenant’s possession of the Property; (ii) Inspector shall properly identify and xxxx any and all disruptions to the surface of the soil so as to avoid any hazard which may result from any open holes or other obstructions caused as a result of such tests and studies; (iii) Inspector shall not allow to remain upon the Property any holes or disruptions to the surface of the Property which would endanger or jeopardize any other persons who may be present thereon; and (iv) Inspector shall restore the Property to the condition prevailing prior to the exercise of its rights hereunder. Intrusive testing shall only include those activities which penetrate, xxxxxx, drill through, bore through, puncture, mar, deface or damage any physical improvement located upon the Property.
 
3. Inspector agrees that it will cause any person accessing the Property hereunder to be covered by not less than $2,000,000 liability insurance insuring all activity and conduct of such person while exercising such right of access. Inspector represents and warrants that it carries not less than $2,000,000 general liability insurance with a contractual liability endorsement which insures its indemnity obligations under this Agreement, which names Owner as insured thereunder, a copy of which policy and endorsement is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
 
4. Inspector agrees that in the exercise of the right of access granted hereby, it will not unreasonably interfere with or permit unreasonable interference with quiet enjoyment of all or any portion of the Property or any activity of any tenant thereof, or unreasonably interfere with or permit the unreasonable interference with any person occupying or providing service at the Property.
 
5. Inspector agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Owner free and harmless from any loss, injury, liability, damage, claim, lien, cost or expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, arising from the exercise by Inspector or its employees, consultants, agents or representatives of the right of access under this Agreement or arising out of a breach of this Agreement by Inspector. Any inspections undertaken by Inspector pursuant to this Agreement shall be at Inspector’s sole risk and expense. This agreement to indemnity and hold harmless shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms.
 
6. Without in any manner limiting the obligation of Inspector under Paragraph 2 hereof to seek and obtain the written consent of Owner prior to conducting any physically intrusive tests on, under or about the Property, Inspector agrees to give Owner reasonable prior notice (which may be oral) of its intent to conduct any inspections or tests so that Owner will have the opportunity to have a representative present during any such inspection or test, the right to do which Owner expressly reserves. Inspector agrees to cooperate with any reasonable request by Owner in connection with the timing of any such inspection or test, the right to do which Owner expressly reserves. Inspector agrees to cooperate with any reasonable request by Owner in connection with the timing of any such inspection or test.
 
7. Inspector agrees that all documents and information regarding the Property of whatsoever nature made available to it by Owner or Owner’s agents or representatives and the results of all tests and studies of the Property, including such tests and studies, and the results
 


thereof, performed by or on behalf of Inspector (collectively, the “Proprietary Information”) are proprietary and confidential and Inspector shall not disclose to any other person except those assisting Inspector with the analysis of the Property for purposes of evaluating its feasibility for Inspector’s intended use or Inspector’s lender, if any, and then only upon making such person aware of the confidentiality restrictions and procuring the agreement of such person to abide by the confidentiality obligation. In the event the purchase and sale contemplated by Owner and Inspector fails to close for any reason whatsoever, Inspector agrees, upon Owner’s request, to return to Owner, or cause to be returned to Owner, all Proprietary Information; provided, however, that Inspector shall not be required to return any tests or studies, or the results thereof, prepared for or on behalf of Inspector by any outside consultant or attorney if the failure to close the purchase and sale resulted out of a default by Owner under the Purchase Agreement. All obligations of Inspector under this Paragraph shall be referred to as the “Confidentiality Obligations.” Inspector shall indemnify Owner against all costs, claims and damages, including reasonable attorney’s fees, suffered or sustained as the result of Inspector’s breach of the Confidentiality Obligations. This agreement to indemnify and hold harmless with respect to a breach of the Confidentiality Obligations shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms.
 
8. Inspector agrees that any inspection, test or other study or analysis of the Property shall be performed at Inspector’s expense and in strict accordance with applicable law.
 
9. Inspector agrees at its own expense promptly to restore the Property if any inspection or test requires or results in any damage to or alteration of its condition.
 
10. Unless otherwise expressly stated in the Purchase Agreement, Owner makes no representation or warranty as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of any materials, data or other information, including without limitation the contents of Owner’s or its Property manager’s books and records, rent rolls or income and expense statements, which it may make available to Inspector in connection with Inspector’s evaluation of the Property; provided, however, Owner represents and warrants that Owner has no actual knowledge of any inaccuracy or omission with respect to such materials. Inspector acknowledges and agrees that all materials, data and other information made available to Inspector are made available as a convenience and accommodation only.
 
11. This Agreement will commence as of its date and automatically terminate upon the earliest of: (a) written notice from either party to the other that negotiations relating to the Purchase Agreement have been discontinued, or (b) if the Purchase Agreement has been executed by each party, then upon termination of the Purchase Agreement, for any reason, or (c) upon Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); provided, however, that Inspector’s liabilities under the indemnity provisions of Paragraph 5 and 7 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
 
12. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the locality in which the Property is located.
 



 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
