Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall not conduct or allow any physically intrusive testing of, on or under the Improvements or the Real Property without first obtaining Seller’s prior written consent as to the scope and timing of the due diligence to be performed. When seeking Seller’s consent to any physically intrusive testing, Buyer shall specify the type of testing to be conducted, the proposed location of the testing and the contaminants or other environmental condition (such as an underground storage tank) for which Buyer is testing. Buyer shall provide notice (which may be telephonic or via e-mail) to Seller not less than one (1) business day prior to each date Buyer or its engineers propose to enter the Real Property. Buyer agrees to repair and restore the Improvements or the Real Property to the condition prior to such surveys and assessments and shall indemnify Seller against any injuries to persons or any physical damage to the Real Property to the extent solely caused by Buyer, its agents and contractors, in undertaking any testing, borings, sampling or other investigations of the Real Property for purposes of this Agreement (the “Buyer Repair and Indemnity Obligations”). The Buyer Repair and Indemnity Obligations shall survive any
3
termination of this Agreement. Throughout the Review Period, Buyer shall have reasonable access to the Property and Seller’s financial records pertaining to the Property. Subject to the provisions of the leases that encumber the Property (the “Leases”), all portions of the Property shall be available for inspection by Buyer during normal business hours during the Review Period. Such inspections by Buyer shall not unreasonably interfere with or detract from the customary business operations of the Property or the tenants on the Property (the “Tenants”). Under no circumstances shall Buyer contact or interview any of the Tenants in connection with the potential sale of the Property to Buyer without providing to Seller not less than two (2) business days’ notice of such interview, and Seller shall have the right to have a representative present to participate in such interview (provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to reschedule if Seller’s representative fails to attend the interview at the scheduled time of the interview). Buyer shall not be required to provide Seller with copies of any and all third party reports prepared for Buyer in connection with or in any way relating to the Property unless Seller requests Buyer in writing to provide copies of the same (which copies will provided at Seller’s sole cost and expense). Except as required by law or regulations or in connection with carrying out its obligations hereunder, Buyer shall not make any notifications or disclosures to any governmental authority or any other third party regarding any matter revealed in its inspections of the Property without Seller’s written permission, which may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion. To the extent Buyer makes such permitted notifications or disclosures, Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of same. Buyer shall have the right at any time prior to the end of the Review Period to terminate this Agreement, for any reason or no reason at all, upon written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, in which event (i) this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, (ii) the Deposit (less the Independent Consideration) shall be promptly returned to Buyer, and (iii) neither party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder (except for such liabilities and obligations that are expressly stated herein to survive termination of this Agreement). If Buyer notifies Seller and Escrow Agent in writing prior to the end of the Review Period that Buyer is satisfied with its review of the Property and Seller’s Deliveries, the parties shall proceed to Closing, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained herein. If such notice is not given, (i) this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, (ii) the Deposit (less the Independent Consideration) shall be promptly returned to Buyer, and (iii) neither party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder (except for such liabilities and obligations that are expressly stated herein to survive termination of this Agreement).
3.2 Buyer agrees that it shall for itself, and shall cause its engineers performing the inspections to, obtain and maintain general commercial liability insurance in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) from insurers reasonably acceptable to Seller, and such insurance policies shall name Seller as an additional insured. Buyer shall provide Seller with certificates of insurance reflecting such coverage prior to any entry onto the Property.
3.3 Buyer agrees as follows: (a) the Seller’s Deliveries shall not be used or duplicated for any purpose other than the evaluation of the proposed purchase of the Property; (b) to keep confidential and not disclose the Seller’s Deliveries and any
4
information developed by Buyer (including any third-party reports prepared for Buyer) (collectively with the Seller’s Deliveries, the “Confidential Information”) to any third party or entity other than the Buyer’s directors, officers, employees, counsel, representatives, agents, contractors, members, investors, accountants, consultants or potential lenders who need to have access to the Confidential Information in connection with this Agreement (collectively, “Representatives”); (c) not to disclose to parties other than the Representatives the fact that discussions or negotiations are taking place concerning the possible purchase and sale of the Property or any of the terms thereof; and (d) to direct its Representatives to comply with the terms of this Agreement prior to disclosing any of the Confidential Information to such Representatives, and to be liable for any non-compliance by such Representatives. In the event Buyer or its Representative becomes legally compelled to disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information (whether by law, rule or regulation, including, but not limited to, regulations of the SEC (as hereinafter defined)), Buyer will provide Seller with prompt written notice so that Seller may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph 3.3. The obligations of Buyer under this Paragraph 3.3 with respect to Confidential Information shall remain in effect except to the extent that Buyer can establish by written evidence that: (i) such Confidential Information is generally available to the public (whether through public filings or otherwise) other than as a result of unauthorized disclosure by Buyer or persons to whom Buyer has made the information available; (ii) disclosure of such Confidential Information is specifically authorized in writing by Seller; (iii) such Confidential Information was received by Buyer on a non-confidential basis (whether through public filings or otherwise) prior to receipt from Seller, form a third party lawfully possessing and lawfully entitled to disclose such information; or (iv) such Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by Buyer as provided in the second and third sentences of this Paragraph 3.3 after compliance by Buyer with the provisions of the second sentence of this Paragraph 3.3. The obligations contained in this Paragraph 3.3 shall not apply to disclosures made by Buyer in connection with enforcement of this Agreement. Buyer agrees to indemnity, defend and hold harmless Seller from and against any damage, loss or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, actually suffered by Seller resulting solely by reason of the unauthorized distribution or disclosure of the Confidential Information by Buyer or its Representatives.
3.4 Subject to Paragraph 7.8, to the extent that Buyer intends to assume any of the Contracts (as hereinafter defined), Buyer shall notify Seller, in writing, prior to the last day of the Review Period, which of the Contracts Buyer intends to assume at Closing.

4.4 Seller shall use its good faith efforts to cure Buyer’s Objections and shall have until two (2) business days prior to the expiration of the Review Period to notify Buyer of its proposed cure for each of Buyer’s Objections (which notice may be sent to Buyer via e-mail notwithstanding Paragraph 11.7) and to provide Buyer with revised Title Documents evidencing that such Buyer’s Objections have been remedied and/or insured over in a manner satisfactory to Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion. If Seller is unable more than two (2) days prior to the expiration of the Review Period, to cure Buyer’s Objections, then Buyer, at its sole option, prior to the expiration of the Review Period, may (a) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller and the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall terminate and become null and void and of no effect and the parties shall be released from all further obligations hereunder (except for such liabilities and obligations that are expressly stated herein to survive termination of this Agreement); or (b) notify Seller that Buyer will close subject to such uncured Buyer’s Objections (without any adjustment in the Purchase Price) and such uncured Buyer’s Objections shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be obligated at Closing to cause the release of (and in no event shall the following be deemed Permitted Exceptions): all mortgages or deeds of trust executed by Seller, mechanic’s liens for work performed on behalf of Seller, tax liens (other than liens for real estate taxes for the current year not yet due and payable), all judgment liens against the Seller and all other liens and encumbrances against the Property arising from the acts or omissions of Seller and securing liquidated amounts.
4.5 Buyer shall have the right to reexamine title to the Property and update the Survey at any time and from time to time prior to Closing, and with respect to any title exceptions, encroachments over the boundaries of the Real Property, or alterations or improvements to the Real Property or to the footprint of the Improvements first occurring or arising subsequent to the effective date of the Title Commitment or the Survey obtained by Buyer pursuant to Paragraph 4.2, Buyer shall have the same rights set forth
6
in this Section 4 (provided however that if Seller is unable to cure such new items, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement and the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer, regardless of whether the Review Period has expired).
4.6 On or prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, all customary and reasonable documentation required by the Title Company to issue a 2006 Form ALTA Owner’s Title Policy in the amount of the Purchase Price without standard exceptions and subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (the “Owner’s Title Policy”).
4.7 If title to the Property at Closing shall not be as required by this Agreement, Buyer shall have the option of either taking such title as Seller can convey without abatement of price, or of canceling this Agreement. In the latter event, the Deposit shall promptly be returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall terminate and become null and void and of no effect and the parties shall be released from all further obligations hereunder (except for such liabilities and obligations that are expressly stated herein to survive termination of this Agreement). The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit Buyer’s remedies for a default of Seller under Paragraph 11.13.
4.8 The Property description to be included in the Deed (as defined below), to be delivered from Seller to Buyer at Closing, shall be the Exhibit “A” legal description attached to this Agreement. If the legal description of the Property, as prepared from the Survey, is different from the Exhibit “A” legal description, Seller shall also execute and deliver at Closing a quitclaim deed containing a legal description of the Property prepared from the Survey.

Seller shall be entirely released from liability under a Seller Estoppel upon delivery to Buyer of an estoppel certificate from the corresponding Tenant to the extent such estoppel certificate is in a form which complies with this Paragraph 6.1(g).
h. Within two (2) business days after receipt from Buyer or Buyer’s lender, Seller shall deliver to such Tenants as Buyer or Buyer’s lender may require subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements (“SNDAs”) in the form provided to Seller by Buyer or Buyer’s lender.

In the event such party elects to close, notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of such condition, there shall be no liability on the part of any other party hereto for breaches of representations and warranties of which the party electing to close had actual knowledge at the Closing. In the event of termination, the failure of a condition due to the breach of a party shall not relieve such breaching party from any liability it would otherwise have hereunder.

Except as provided in Paragraph 8.7, Buyer will forward to Seller any delinquent rentals as received, including Seller’s apportionment of rental income delinquent at Closing for the month of Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Assignment of Intangible Rights to be executed by the parties at Closing, Seller shall have all rights and remedies available to it to collect any such delinquent amounts before or after Closing; provided that, following the Closing, Seller shall not initiate any proceeding seeking to terminate the applicable Lease nor shall Seller be entitled to terminate the applicable Lease or otherwise evict or disturb the occupancy of any of the Tenants.

In order to enable Buyer to make any year-end reconciliations of Additional Rents, within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a final statement of (a) all operating expenses for the Property which are actually paid by Seller and permitted to be passed through to the Tenants, as applicable, with respect to the portion of the 2012 calendar year occurring prior to the Closing (“Seller’s 2012 Actual Operating Expenses”), together with copies of all documentation evidencing Seller’s 2012 Actual Operating Expenses, and (b) all estimated payments of Additional Rents received by Seller with respect to the portion of the 2012 calendar year occurring prior to the Closing. If Additional Rents for the 2011 calendar year have not been finally adjusted between Seller and any of the Tenants, as applicable, as of the Closing, Seller shall retain all rights and obligations with respect to the adjustment thereof directly with the applicable party following the Closing, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 8.2.
8.5 Upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, Seller and its representatives shall be afforded the opportunity to review all underlying financial records and work papers pertaining to the preparation of all Supplemental Proration Statements, and Buyer, at no cost to Buyer, shall permit Seller and its representatives to have full access to the books and records in the possession of Buyer or any party to whom Buyer has given custody of the same relating to the Property to permit Seller to review the Supplemental Proration Statements. Any Supplemental Proration Statement prepared by Buyer shall be final and binding for purposes of this Agreement unless Seller shall give written notice to Buyer of disagreement with the prorations contained therein within thirty (30) days following Seller’s receipt of such Supplemental Proration Statement, specifying in reasonable detail the nature and extent of such disagreement. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any disagreement with respect to any Supplemental Proration Statement within ten (10) days following receipt by Buyer of the notice referred to above, either party may pursue any remedy available for the resolution of such dispute.
8.6 Any net credit due Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall be paid to Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after the delivery of a Supplemental Proration Statement to Seller, or unless Seller notifies Buyer of a disagreement with respect to any such statement as provided in Paragraph 8.5, in which case such payment (less a hold back sufficient to cover the amount of the disagreement) shall be made within fifteen (15) days after Seller notifies Buyer of such disagreement, and any further payment due after such disagreement is resolved shall be paid within fifteen (15) days after the resolution of such disagreement, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the delivery of a Supplemental Proration Statement to Seller.
20
8.7 The parties acknowledge that the Governmental Tenants typically make their rental payments in arrears under their respective Leases. To the extent such payments are in fact made in arrears, the rentals (including Additional Rents) received from any Governmental Tenants after the Closing Date shall be applied to (a) first, in payment of rentals for the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Closing Date occurs; (b) second, in payment of rentals for the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs, (c) third, in payment of rentals due and payable for all periods after the Closing Date; and (d) fourth, after rentals due and payable for all periods after the Closing Date have been paid in full, in payment of rentals for periods prior to the Closing (other than as provided in the above clause (a)). Each such amount, less reasonable collection costs, shall be adjusted and prorated as provided above, and the party receiving such amount shall, within five (5) business days, pay to the other party the portion thereof to which it is so entitled.
8.8 The parties acknowledge that certain of the Tenants make payment of their share of real estate taxes on an annual basis and that such payment may not be made until after the Closing Date. To extent that any such payment is received by Buyer after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, within fifteen (15) business days after the receipt of such payment, pay to Seller the portion of such payment allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date.
8.9 The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive Closing for a period of ninety (90) days after Buyer delivers to Seller the Supplemental Proration Statement.

Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall be solely responsible for payment of all commissions, finder’s fees, or other compensation to the extent due and payable to Broker pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement entered into by Seller and Broker outside of this Agreement. Seller and Buyer each agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other from and against all liabilities, damages, attorneys’ fees, court costs and expenses from causes of action, suits, claims, demands and judgments of any nature whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with its dealings with any real estate brokers or others pertaining to this transaction, other than the Broker.

If Buyer elects not to terminate this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Seller, at the time of Closing, shall transfer and assign to Buyer all of its right, title and interest to any and all insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance allocable to the period from and after Closing) to Buyer, and Seller shall tender to Buyer at Closing the insurance deductible.
10.4 If, at any time on or before the Closing, any action or proceeding is filed or threatened or notice given under which all of the Property or any material portion thereof may be taken pursuant to any law, ordinance or regulation or by condemnation or the right of eminent domain, then at the option of Buyer in its sole discretion (a) this Agreement shall be null and void and the Deposit (less the Independent Consideration) shall be promptly returned to Buyer by the Escrow Agent, or (b) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Seller, at the time of Closing hereunder, shall transfer and assign all of Seller’s rights, title and interests in and to any proceeds received or which may be received by reason of such taking, or a sale in lieu thereof, which option shall be exercisable by Buyer by delivering to Seller written notice on or before the tenth
22
(10th) business day following the date on which Buyer receives notice that such suit has been filed or is threatened. If such ten (10) business day period extends beyond the date of Closing, as herein provided, Buyer shall have the right to extend the date of Closing, to allow Buyer the full ten (10) business days in which to exercise its options hereunder. For purposes of this Paragraph 10.4, a “material portion” shall mean a taking (i) which materially and adversely affects access to the Property, (ii) which reduces the number of parking spaces at the Property or condemns any portion of the parking areas of the Property, (iii) which results in any one or more of the tenants of the Property having the right to terminate their Leases as a result thereof, or (iv) of more than ten percent (10%) of the leasable area of the improvements at the Property.

11.13 Default by Seller. In the event Seller fails to close this transaction in accordance with the terms hereof within the time set forth above, Buyer at Buyer’s option shall be entitled to take one of the following, and only one of the following, mutually exclusive
25
actions, as Buyer’s exclusive remedy: (a) terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit (less the Independent Consideration) to Buyer and this Agreement shall terminate and become null and void and of no effect and the parties shall be released from all further obligations hereunder except for such liabilities and obligations that are expressly stated herein to survive termination of this Agreement and; (b) waive any such failure and proceed with the Closing or (c) Buyer may seek the specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement from a court of competent jurisdiction by a date which is no later than ninety (90) days after the scheduled Closing Date. To the extent any such default involves a default of any of Seller’s covenants set forth in Paragraph 5.2(a) or (b) hereof and/or a default of such a nature that Buyer shall be precluded from obtaining specific performance (e.g., Seller conveys the Property to a bona fide third party who takes without knowledge of this Agreement), then, in the event of termination of this Agreement by Buyer, in addition to the return of the Deposit to Buyer, Seller shall, within two (2) business days thereafter, pay to Buyer, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the sum of (i) an amount equal to all third party out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, and (ii) an amount equal to the amount of the Deposit, the same being deemed Buyer’s damages on account thereof, the exact amount of damages to be suffered by Buyer on account of any such default being difficult if not impossible to ascertain and Buyer and Seller agreeing that such amount is a reasonable approximation of the damages to be suffered by Buyer on account thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a default under Paragraph 5.2(a), Buyer shall only be entitled to the liquidated damages set forth in the immediately prior sentence if such default first occurs after the expiration of the Review Period. Buyer waives all other rights and remedies it may have at law or in equity against Seller arising out of a default by Seller.
11.14 Default by Buyer. The Deposit is to secure the timely performance by Buyer of its obligations and undertakings under this Agreement. In the event of a default of Buyer whereby Buyer fails to close this transaction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall immediately deliver the Deposit to Seller (and Buyer and Seller hereby irrevocably instruct the Escrow Agent to make such delivery to Seller), and Seller shall retain the Deposit as liquidated damages and as Seller’s sole and exclusive right to damages or any other remedy for such default, as further provided in Paragraph 1.2 hereof.
11.15 AS IS Condition. Except for the express representations and warranties contained herein, the Property is being sold in an “AS IS” and “WHERE IS” condition, “WITH ALL FAULTS”, without warranty, express or implied, as to the condition, thereof or otherwise. Buyer will have conducted prior to the expiration of the Review Period, and in all events prior to the Closing, Buyer’s own investigation of the Property and the physical conditions thereof. Buyer will have reviewed prior to the expiration of the Review Period, and in all events prior to the Closing, all items which in Buyer’s judgment may affect or influence Buyer’s use of the Property, including examining and inspecting all matters with respect to taxes, permissible uses, zoning, covenants, conditions, restrictions and all other matters which in Buyer’s judgment bear upon the value and suitability of the Property for Buyer’s purposes. Buyer acknowledges that
26
Seller would not sell the Property except on the basis described herein. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, (i) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller has made no representations or warranties of any kind, either express or implied, and will at Closing make no representations of any kind, in connection with the maintenance, repair, condition, design, marketability, soils condition, environmental condition, value or the like of the Property or otherwise, (ii) Buyer shall rely solely on Buyer’s own inspection and examination of such items and not on any representations of Seller, and (iii) Seller shall have no responsibility, liability or obligation subsequent to the Closing with respect to any conditions, including without limitation environmental conditions, hazardous materials of any kind whatsoever, physical condition, structural condition, the presence of any environmental problems or the use, presence, storage, release, discharge, or migration of Hazardous Materials on, in, under or around the Property, regardless of when such Hazardous Materials were first introduced in, on or about the Property. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, Buyer hereby releases Seller and its members, shareholders, officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from any liability associated with the condition of the Property or any reports, surveys, studies, tests or other similar materials relating to the Property, or any matters disclosed therein, or any inaccuracies or omissions contained therein. The provisions of this Paragraph 11.15 shall survive Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
11.16 Limitation of Liability. None of Seller’s members, beneficiaries, shareholders, partners, directors, officers, agents or employees, nor any of their heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns, shall have any personal liability of any kind or nature for or by reason of any matter or thing whatsoever under, in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, and Buyer waives for itself and anyone who may claim through or under Buyer any and all rights to xxx or recover from any of the foregoing individuals or parties on account of any such alleged personal liability.

11.21 Computation of Time. Any time period provided for in this Agreement which ends on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday shall extend to 5:00 p.m. (EST) on the next full business day. As used in this Agreement, the term “business day” means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which banking institutions in Augusta, Georgia are required to be open.
11.22 No Assumption of Liabilities. The parties acknowledge that the purchase and sale of the Property involves only the purchase and sale of the Property and that Seller is not selling a business nor do the parties intend that Buyer be deemed a successor of Seller with respect to any liabilities of Seller to any third parties other than the Tenants under the Leases and the counterparties to the Contracts which Buyer elects to assume under Paragraph 3.4 or is obligated to assume under Paragraph 7.8. Accordingly, Buyer shall neither assume nor be liable for the debts, liabilities, taxes, obligations and claims for which Seller alone is liable, including, but not limited to, (i) all payments and benefits to past and/or present employees of Seller in connection with the business being conducted on or from the Property as may have accrued through Closing, (including, but not limited to, salaries, wages, commissions, bonuses, vacation pay, health and welfare contributions, pensions, profit sharing, severance or termination pay, or any other form of compensation or fringe benefit), (ii) obligations of Seller under any Leases or occupancy agreements accruing prior to Closing, unless specifically assumed by Buyer, and (iii) obligations of Seller under the Contracts accruing from and after Closing, unless Buyer has specifically assumed the Contract in accordance with Paragraph 3.4 or is obligated to assume as provided in Paragraph 7.8.

11.23 Jo-Ann’s. Promptly following Closing, Buyer shall contact FCA of Ohio, Inc.

Upon Buyer’s receipt of a written notice from Jo-Ann’s of Jo-Ann’s intent to terminate the Jo-Ann’s Lease pursuant to Section 4(d) of the Jo-Ann’s Lease, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter the Post-Closing Jo-Ann’s Amendment. Buyer shall promptly notify Seller and Escrow Agent upon the execution, if at all, of the Post-Closing Jo-Ann’s Amendment. In the event of a default by Buyer under this Paragraph 11.23, Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be recovery of the Escrow Funds (as defined in the Jo-Ann’s Escrow Agreement). The foregoing limitation, however, shall
28
not act to limit the right of the prevailing party in a dispute to collect pursuant to Paragraph 11.10 of this Agreement. The term “Jo-Ann’s Lease” shall mean certain Lease Agreement dated December 5, 2007 with Jo-Ann’s for space at the Property. The provisions of this Paragraph 11.23 shall survive the Closing.

(“Jo-Ann’s”) terminates that certain Lease Agreement dated December 5 2007 (the “Lease”) with respect to a portion of the Property on or before July 30, 2013, as set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Except as otherwise noted herein, the meaning of the defined terms in this Agreement shall be governed by the definitions of those terms contained in the Purchase Agreement.
2. Establishment of Escrow. Concurrently herewith, Seller has deposited in escrow with Escrow Agent the sum of $500,000.00 (the “Escrow Funds”). The Escrow Funds shall be held in escrow by Escrow Agent and disbursed solely in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event that Jo-Ann’s timely notifies Purchaser of its intent to terminate the Lease (such notice a “Termination Notice”) on or before July 30, 2013 (the “Outside Termination Date”), then, upon Jo-Ann’s vacating the Property and paying Purchaser the Termination Fee (as defined below), the Escrow Funds shall be disbursed by Escrow Agent to Purchaser upon request thereof by Purchaser. In the event that (a) Jo-Ann’s either (i) fails to notify Purchaser of its intent to terminate the Lease on or before the Outside Termination Date, (ii) irrevocably waives its right to terminate the Lease pursuant to Section 4(d) of the Lease, or (iii) notifies Purchaser of its intent to terminate the Lease on or before the Outside Termination Date but remains as a tenant of a portion of the Property one (1) year and fifteen (15) days after the giving of the Termination Notice, (b) Purchaser enters into (i) the Post-Closing Jo-Ann’s Amendment pursuant to Paragraph 11.23 of the Purchase Agreement, (ii) a new lease with Jo-Ann’s or an
Q-1
affiliate of Jo-Ann’s to occupy a portion of the Property for a term that extends after July 31, 2014, or (iii) an amendment to the Jo-Ann’s Lease which extends the term thereof beyond July 31, 2014, then, upon request to Escrow Agent from Seller, the Escrow Funds shall be disbursed by Escrow Agent to Seller. Purchaser shall notify Seller and Escrow Agent promptly of the occurrence of one of the events described in clause (a) or (b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser and Seller agree that all fees payable by Jo-Ann’s in connection with termination (including the unamortized construction allowance and real estate broker commissions) are the property of Purchaser (collectively, the “Termination Fee”).
3. Escrow Funds.
(a) The Escrow Funds held under this Agreement shall be increased by income earned on such Escrow Funds and decreased by the fees of the Escrow Agent.
(b) The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to its out-of-pocket expenses if there is a disagreement between Purchaser and Seller. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall be responsible for payment of one half (1/2) of any of such expenses.
(c) Purchaser and Seller shall each be responsible for paying one half (1/2) of any escrow fees charged by the Escrow Agent in connection with this Agreement.
(d) The Escrow Funds held under this Agreement shall be invested in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 5 hereof.
4. Notices. All notices, payments or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested and received, or by overnight courier service, or by e-mail with confirmed receipt and a “hard” copy forward approximately simultaneously via one of the other methods of delivery, addressed as follows:

Q-3
(c) Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the rights of powers conferred upon it by this Agreement. Escrow Agent may consult with counsel of its own choice, and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.
(d) Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the parties hereto of the date upon which such resignation shall take effect.

9. Benefit. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
10. Indemnification. Escrow Agent is severally indemnified and saved harmless by Purchaser and Seller from all losses, costs and expenses that Escrow Agent may incur as result of its involvement in any litigation arising from performance of its duties under this Agreement, provided that such litigation shall not result from any action taken or omitted by Escrow Agent for which it shall have been adjudged negligent or to have acted in bad faith. This indemnification shall survive termination of this Agreement until extinguished by any applicable statute of limitations.
