agreements between Seller and any tenant.

conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis. There has been no material adverse change in the operations of the
Property or its prospects since the date of the most recent Seller Financial

default or offset against Seller with respect thereto and no event has occurred
or failed to occur, which would in any way affect the validity or enforceability
of any such Contract; and the copies of the Contracts delivered to Buyer prior

comments were not resolved by the Title Insurance Commitment, and such comments
are hereby renewed. Buyer will have through the last day of the Inspection
Period to notify Seller in writing of any additional objections, encroachments

to Buyer an affidavit stating, if true, that such judgments, bankruptcies or the
returns are not against Seller. Seller further agrees to execute and deliver to
the Title Insurance agent at Closing such documentation, if any, as the Title
