TITLE AND SURVEY
2.1 Title Examination; Commitment for Title Insurance. Promptly after the Effective Date, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, Purchaser shall order a title commitment (the “Commitment”) from a title company authorized to conduct business in the State in which the Property is located (the “Title Company”) for the issuance of a pro forma owner’s title insurance policy for the Land and Improvements (the “Pro Forma Policy”). Any and all matters that are of record as of the date of the Commitment are referred to herein as “Title Matters.”
2.2 Survey. Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, employ a surveyor or surveying firm, licensed by the State in which the Property is located, to prepare and deliver to Purchaser a survey of the Property (the “Survey”). Any and all matters that would be shown on such a survey of the Property, prepared in accordance with applicable ALTA survey standards, are referred to herein as “Survey Matters.”
2.3 Title Objections; Cure of Title Objections.
(a) Purchaser shall have until 5:00 P.M. eastern standard time on the last day of the Inspection Period (the “Title Objection Period”) to review the Commitment, the related exception documents and the Survey and to notify Seller, in writing, of such objections as Purchaser may have to matters contained therein (“Title Objections”). Any Title Matters or Survey Matters to which Purchaser does not object prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period or the Purchaser waives pursuant to Section 2.3(b) shall be permitted exceptions to title (each, a “Permitted Exception”).
(b) If Purchaser notifies Seller of its Title Objections prior to the expiration of the Title Objection Period, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure such Title Objections to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction prior to the Closing Date. As used herein, “reasonable efforts” shall not require Seller to expend more than One Hundred and Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) to cure such objections, exclusive of Financial Encumbrances (as defined below). Seller shall have until the Closing Date to attempt to remove, satisfy or cure the Title Objections, and for this
4
purpose Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing if additional time is required, but in no event shall the adjournment exceed the earlier of thirty (30) days or December 31, 2019, unless Purchaser agrees to a further extension. Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, cure or remove same; however, Seller agrees to consult with the Title Company in order to determine which Title Objections, if any, the Title Company is willing to remove, all with no action required on the part of Seller. Such Title Objections shall be deemed cured or removed if the Title Company issues a revised Commitment to issue, at Closing, an ALTA Owner's Policy of Title Insurance in the amount of the Purchase Price in favor of Purchaser, with such Title Objections having been removed as exceptions. In the event Seller is unable to effect a cure prior to either the original Closing Date, which cure shall include the Title Company agreeing to remove any Title Objection as an Permitted Exception from the Commitment and/or Pro Forma Policy or otherwise insured over by the Title Company, or any date to which the Closing has been extended, Purchaser shall have the following options: (i) to waive such Title Objections (each of which shall be deemed a Permitted Exception) and proceed to the Closing subject to the Permitted Exceptions and without any reduction of the Purchase Price; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement by sending timely written notice thereof to Seller, and upon delivery of such notice of termination, this Agreement shall terminate and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except to the extent that any right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives termination of this Agreement. If Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller will be unable to effect a cure thereof (or if Seller has failed to effectuate such cure on or before the Closing Date, as the same may be extended hereunder), Purchaser shall, within three (3) Business Days after such notice has been received or the Closing Date (as the same may be extended hereunder), whichever is earlier, notify Seller in writing whether Purchaser shall elect to proceed to the Closing under sub-section (i) above or to terminate this Agreement under sub-section (ii) above (and failure to timely deliver such notice shall irrevocably be deemed an election by Purchaser to proceed under sub-section (i) above). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any title matter which is a financial encumbrance such as a mortgage, deed of trust, or other debt security voluntarily incurred by Seller, which is outstanding against the Property, or any part thereof (herein such matters are referred to as “Financial Encumbrances”) shall in no event be deemed a Permitted Exception, and Seller hereby covenants to remove all Financial Encumbrances on or before the Closing Date without regard to the definition of “reasonable efforts” above.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the Property will not conform with the title provisions of this Agreement unless:
(i) All Buildings and other Improvements, including but not limited to, any driveways, patios, walkways, fences, parking spaces, dumpsters, jersey barriers and all means of access to the Property, are located completely within the boundary lines of the Property and do not encroach upon or under the property of any other person or entity without the benefit of a perpetual appurtenant easement;
5
(ii) No building, structure or improvement of any kind belonging to another person or entity encroaches upon or under the Property without the benefit of an appurtenant easement; and
(iii) The Property abuts or has indefeasible access to a public way, duly laid out or accepted as such by the city or town in which the Property is located.
2.4 Permitted Exceptions to Title. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Land and Improvements shall be subject to the following matters, which shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions, and Purchaser shall have no right to object to any of the following:
(a) the rights of tenants, as tenants only, under the Leases and any new Leases entered into between the Effective Date and Closing as permitted under this Agreement;
(b) the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments for the current fiscal year not yet due and payable as of the Closing Date, subject to adjustment as herein provided;
(c) local, state and federal laws, ordinances or governmental regulations, including, but not limited to, building and zoning laws, ordinances and regulations, now or hereafter in effect relating to the Land and Improvements; and
(d) Title Matters and Survey Matters that are either (i) not subject to objection by Purchaser hereunder; or (ii) not timely objected to by Purchaser; or (iii) timely objected to by Purchaser, with a subsequent cure, waiver or deemed cure and/or waiver to such objection by Purchaser, all in accordance with Section 2.3 and Section 2.5 hereof.
2.5 Pre-Closing “Gap” Title Defects. Following the Inspection Period, Purchaser may, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of any updates to the Commitment or the Pro Forma Policy, notify Seller in writing of any additional objections to any title matters appearing of record subsequent to the date of the Commitment. With respect to any objections to title set forth in such notice (“Gap Title Objections”), Seller shall have the same option to remove, satisfy or cure, and Purchaser shall have the same option to accept title subject to such matters or to terminate this Agreement as those which apply to any notice of objections made by Purchaser before the expiration of the Inspection Period. If Seller is required to remove, satisfy or cure, or elects to attempt to remove, satisfy or cure, as applicable, any such matters, the date for Closing may be extended, if necessary, by a reasonable period of time to effect same, but in no event shall the adjournment exceed the earlier of thirty (30) days or December 31, 2019, unless Purchaser agrees to a further extension. This Section 2.5 is subject to Section 2.3 hereof.

ARTICLE III
INSPECTION PERIOD
3.1 Right of Inspection.
(a) Purchaser has been expressly advised by Seller to conduct an independent investigation and inspection the Property (subject to the provisions of this Agreement) utilizing experts as Purchaser deems necessary. During the term of this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right to make one or more non-invasive inspections of the Property and to examine, at such place or places at the Land and Improvements, in the offices of the property manager or elsewhere as the same may be located, and certain documents related to the Property in Seller’s possession or control, as more specifically identified on Schedule 3.1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference shall be made available to the Purchaser (the “Due Diligence Materials”). Purchaser acknowledges that certain of such documents may have been prepared by third parties, including the property manager, and may have been prepared prior to the Seller’s ownership of the Property.
(b) Purchaser understands and agrees that any on-site inspections of the Land and Improvements shall be conducted upon at least forty-eight (48) hours’ prior notice to Seller (which may be written or oral, provided such oral notice is given to Xxx Xxxxxxxxx) and provided that, as to in-unit inspections, the notice period shall be consistent with the notice period Seller must give tenants under the Leases and under applicable state and local law. Any such inspections shall be conducted in the presence of Seller or its representative and shall occur at reasonable times agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser. Purchaser may not contact any tenants, vendors or service providers without first obtaining Seller’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Purchaser may contact the property manager or its employees with respect to due diligence matters during the course of Purchaser’s inspections, but Purchaser may not discuss anything related to future employment with such employees until after the expiration of the Inspection Period. Such inspection shall not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Land and Improvements or its tenants nor shall Purchaser’s inspection damage the Land and Improvements in any respect. Such inspection shall not be invasive in any respect (unless Purchaser obtains Seller’s prior written consent to be granted or denied in Seller’s discretion), and in any event shall be conducted in accordance with standards customarily employed in the industry and in compliance with all governmental laws, rules and regulations. Following each entry by Purchaser with respect to inspections or tests on the Land and Improvements, Purchaser shall restore the Land and Improvements to the condition it was in prior to any such inspections or tests. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in its due diligence but shall not be obligated to incur any liability or expense in connection therewith.
(c) Purchaser agrees (i) that prior to entering the Land and Improvements to conduct any inspection, Purchaser shall obtain and maintain, or shall cause each of its contractors and agents to maintain (and shall deliver evidence satisfactory to Seller thereof), at no cost or expense to Seller, (i) worker’s compensation/employer’s liability coverage in the minimum statutory amount of $500,000.00, (ii) commercial general
7
liability insurance from an insurer reasonably acceptable to Seller in the amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate, with combined single limit for personal injury or property damage per occurrence, such policies to name Seller as an additional insured party, which insurance shall provide coverage against any claim for personal injury or property damage caused by Purchaser or its agents, representatives or consultants in connection with any such tests and investigations, and (ii) to keep the Land and Improvements free from all liens and encumbrances. In addition, if Purchaser chooses to conduct any Phase II (as such term is commonly used in the industry) or other invasive testing of the Land (collectively, "Additional Testing"), Purchaser must first receive Seller's prior written consent to be granted or denied in Seller’s discretion (per (b) above). In order to obtain Seller's consent to Additional Testing, Purchaser shall notify Seller, in writing, of the intended purpose, scope and location of the same on the Property, to which notice there shall be attached a copy of a written proposal prepared by or for Purchaser with regard to such Additional Testing. Further, Purchaser shall provide Seller with any other information regarding such Additional Testing which Seller may reasonably request. Seller shall promptly respond (meaning within three (3) business days) to Purchaser’s request to do such Additional Testing upon its receipt and review of all information relating thereto, as set forth above; provided, however, that Seller’s failure to so respond shall be deemed to be a withholding of its consent to allow such Additional Testing.
(d) Purchaser shall observe, and cause its agents and contractors to observe, all appropriate safety precautions in conducting Purchaser's inspection of the Property and perform all work and cause its agents and contractors to perform all work, in such a manner so as not to cause any damage to the Property, injury to any person or to the environment, or interference with any ongoing operations at the Property. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend, and hold Seller and its wholly-owned affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, employees, officers, directors, trustees, or other representatives of Seller (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities, claims, demands, and causes of action (together with any legal fees and other expense incurred by any of the Indemnified Parties in connection therewith), resulting directly or indirectly from, or in connection with, any inspection of or other entry upon the Property (including any investigation of the Property necessary for completion of any Purchaser's environmental report(s) and any entry onto the Property with the authorization of Seller) by Purchaser, or its agents, employees, contractors, or other representatives, including, without limitation, any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities, claims, demands, and causes of action resulting, or alleged to be resulting, from injury or death of persons, or damage to the Property or any other property, or mechanic's or materialmen's liens placed against the Property in connection with Purchaser's inspection thereof. Purchaser agrees to promptly repair any damage to the Property directly or indirectly caused by any acts of Purchaser, or its agents or contractors, and to restore the Property to the condition that existed prior to Purchaser's entry. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no liability or obligation with respect to any adverse condition which existed at the Property prior to Purchaser's inspection, except to the extent Purchaser's inspection exacerbates such adverse condition. This Section shall survive Closing or other termination of this Agreement and any such claims shall not be limited to the Survival Period.
8
3.2 Right of Termination. Seller agrees that if Purchaser determines (such determination to be made in Purchaser’s sole discretion) that it does not desire to acquire the Property for any reason or no reason, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller and the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of the time period commencing on the Effective Date and ending at 5 p.m. Eastern Time on forty-five (45) days after the later of: the Effective Date or delivery of the Due Diligence Materials (the “Inspection Period”). If Purchaser delivers such notice of termination during the Inspection Period, this Agreement shall terminate and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except to the extent that any right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to deliver Seller a notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall no longer have any right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 3.2, the Xxxxxxx Money shall become non-refundable to Purchaser except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and (subject to any express rights of termination on the part of Purchaser provided elsewhere in this Agreement) Purchaser shall be bound to proceed to Closing and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Time is of the essence with respect to the provisions of this Section 3.2.
3.3 Assumed Agreements. On or before expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall deliver written notice to Seller identifying which Property Agreements shall be assigned to Purchaser at Closing, and such Property Agreements shall constitute the Assumed Agreements for the purposes of this Agreement. Seller shall terminate all other Property Agreements prior to Closing. Subject to Seller’s obligation to terminate all Property Agreements other than the Assumed Agreements, Seller shall continue to perform any and all of Seller’s obligations under all Property Agreements through the Closing. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller agrees to cause any existing property management agreements and any leasing listing agreements to be terminated effective as of the Closing Date and Seller shall be solely responsible for any fees or payments due thereunder.

Any such apportionment made with respect to a tax year for which the tax rate or assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been fixed shall be based upon the tax rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed.

If any condition set forth in Section 4.7 is not satisfied or waived on or before the Closing, then, so long as Seller has acted in good faith and with due diligence in performing its obligations hereunder and cooperating with Seller in its performance hereunder, such failure of condition shall constitute a default by Purchaser, and Seller may pursue its remedies under Article VI.

(b) As used in this Agreement, “Hazardous Substances” shall mean and include, but shall not be limited to any petroleum product and all hazardous or toxic substances, wastes or substances, any substances which because of their quantitated concentration, chemical, or active, flammable, explosive, infectious or other characteristics, constitute or may reasonably be expected to constitute or contribute to a danger or hazard to public health, safety or welfare or to the environment, including, without limitation, any hazardous or toxic waste or substances which are included under or regulated by any environmental laws, regulations and ordinances, whether federal, state or local and whether now existing or hereafter enacted or promulgated, as such laws may be amended from time to time, including, without limitation the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (commonly known as “CERCLA”), as amended, the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (commonly known as “XXXX”), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (commonly known as “RCRA”), the Toxic Substance Control Act, the Hazardous Substances Transportation Act, the Clean Water Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Clean Air Act, or any other federal, state or local legislation or ordinances applicable to the Land and Improvements (collectively, “Hazardous Substances Laws”).
9.4 No Financial Representation. Seller will cooperate with Purchaser in providing such financial information and income and expense data relating to the Property described in Schedule 3.1 in connection with Purchaser’s due diligence review, both during and after the Inspection Period. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any documents delivered at Closing, Seller makes no representation or warranty that such material is complete or accurate or that Purchaser will achieve similar financial or other results with respect to the operations of the Land and Improvements, it being acknowledged by Purchaser that Seller’s experience with the Property and the operation of the Land and Improvements and allocations of revenues or expenses during Seller’s ownership may be vastly different than Purchaser may be able to attain. Purchaser acknowledges that it is a sophisticated and experienced purchaser of real estate and further that Purchaser has relied upon its own investigation and inquiry with respect to the operation of the Property and releases Seller from any liability with respect to such historical information.
9.5 Effect and Survival of Disclaimers. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that the compensation to be paid to Seller for the Property has been decreased to take into account that the Property is being sold subject to the provisions of this Article IX. Seller and Purchaser agree that the provisions of this Article IX shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE X
ESCROW AGENT
10.1 Payment of Purchase Price. Escrow Agent, following authorization and instruction by the parties at Closing, shall (a) pay to Seller by federal wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller, the Purchase Price less any costs or other amounts to be paid by Seller at Closing pursuant to this Agreement, (b) pay to the appropriate payees out of the proceeds of Closing payable to Seller all costs and amounts to be paid by Seller at Closing pursuant
25
to this Agreement and (c) pay all costs and amounts to be paid by Purchaser to the appropriate payees at Closing pursuant to this Agreement.
10.2 Xxxxxxx Money. The Escrow Agent will hold the Xxxxxxx Money in escrow in an interest-bearing account of the type generally used by the Escrow Agent for the holding of escrow funds until the earlier of the (a) Closing or (b) termination of this Agreement in accordance with any right hereunder. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period or pursuant to another express right of termination established herein, the Xxxxxxx Money will be returned by the Escrow Agent to Purchaser. If the Closing occurs, the Xxxxxxx Money will be released to Seller, and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the Xxxxxxx Money. If the Closing (as it may be extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) does not occur, and Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to an express right of termination established herein or is not otherwise expressly entitled to the return of the Xxxxxxx Money as provided herein, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be released to Seller. In all other instances, the Escrow Agent shall not release the Xxxxxxx Money to either party until the Escrow Agent has been requested by Seller or Purchaser to release the Xxxxxxx Money and has given the other party five (5) Business Days to dispute, or consent to, the release of the Xxxxxxx Money. Purchaser and Seller will provide their respective tax identification numbers, for purposes of reporting the interest earnings, on separate W-9s to be provided to Escrow Agent.
10.3 Liability.
(a) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any party for any act or omission, except for bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, and the parties agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from any and all claims, damages, losses or expenses arising in connection herewith. The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as stakeholder for their mutual convenience. If the Escrow Agent receives written notice of a dispute between the parties with respect to the Xxxxxxx Money, the Escrow Agent shall not be bound to release and deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to either party but may either (i) continue to hold the Xxxxxxx Money until otherwise directed in a writing signed by all parties hereto or (ii) deposit the Xxxxxxx Money with the clerk of any court of competent jurisdiction. Upon such deposit, the Escrow Agent will be released from all duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to consult with separate counsel of its own choosing (if it deems such consultation advisable) and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.
(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be required to defend any legal proceeding which may be instituted against it with respect to the Xxxxxxx Money, the Land and Improvements or the subject matter of this Agreement unless the Escrow Agent is requested to do so by Purchaser or Seller and is indemnified to its satisfaction against the cost and expense of such defense. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to institute legal proceedings of any kind and shall have no responsibility for the genuineness or validity of any document or other item deposited with it or the collectability of any check delivered in connection with this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with any written instructions given to it hereunder and believed by it to have been signed by the proper parties.
26
10.4 Designation of Certifying Person. In order to assure compliance with the requirements of Section 6045 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and any related reporting requirements of the Code, the parties hereto agree as follows:
(a) The Escrow Agent agrees to assume all responsibilities for information reporting required under Section 6045(e) of the Code, and Seller and Purchaser hereby designate the Escrow Agent as the person to be responsible for all information reporting under Section 6045(e) of the Code.
(b) Seller and Purchaser each hereby agree:
(i) to provide to the Escrow Agent all information and certifications regarding such party as reasonably requested by the Escrow Agent or otherwise required to be provided by a party to the transaction described herein under Section 6045 of the Code; and
(ii) to provide to the Escrow Agent such party’s taxpayer identification number and a statement in such form as may be requested by the Escrow Agent, signed under penalties of perjury, stating that the taxpayer identification number supplied by such party to the Escrow Agent is correct.
10.5 Survival. The provisions of this Article X shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Confidentiality. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser and its representatives shall hold in strictest confidence all data and information obtained with respect to Seller or its respective business, whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and shall not disclose the same to others; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed that Purchaser may disclose such data and information to the employees, consultants, accountants, investors, lenders and attorneys of Purchaser provided that such persons agree in writing to treat such data and information confidentially, and in all events Purchaser shall be responsible for its employees, consultants, accountants and attorneys’ obligation to keep confidential the data and information provided to them pursuant to this Agreement. In the event this Agreement is terminated or Purchaser fails to perform hereunder, Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller any statements, documents, schedules, exhibits or other written information obtained from Seller in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated herein. It is understood and agreed that, with respect to any provision of this Agreement which refers to the termination of this Agreement and the return of the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser, such Xxxxxxx Money shall not be returned to Purchaser unless and until Purchaser has fulfilled its obligation to return to Seller the materials described in the preceding sentence. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or its agents or representatives of this Section 11.1, Seller shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Purchaser or its agents or representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part, such confidential information. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Seller from pursuing any other
27
available remedy at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach. The provisions of this Section 11.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
11.2 Public Disclosure. Prior to the Closing, any release to the public of information with respect to the sale contemplated herein or any matters set forth in this Agreement will be made only in the form approved by Purchaser and Seller. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser is a publicly traded entity and is obligated to make an SEC filing of the transaction following execution of this Agreement, which will include the Purchase Price (the “SEC Filing”). In addition, the Seller agrees to provide audited financial statements to Purchaser at or after the Closing Date for the Purchaser’s auditors to be able to provide adequate disclosure of the transaction. Our closing on this transaction is not dependent upon their findings, however, we will need cooperation during that period.
11.3 TIME OF THE ESSENCE. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE WITH RESPECT TO ALL TIME PERIODS AND DATES FOR PERFORMANCE SET FORTH HEREIN.
11.4 Discharge of Obligations. The acceptance of the Deed by Purchaser shall be deemed to be a full performance and discharge of every representation and warranty made by Seller herein and every agreement and obligation on the part of Seller to be performed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, except those which are herein specifically stated to survive Closing.
11.5 Assignment. Purchaser may not assign its rights under this Agreement to anyone other than an Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) without first obtaining Seller’s written approval which may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 11.5, Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to an Affiliate or a qualified intermediary in connection with a Section 1031 transaction (a “Qualified Intermediary”) without the prior written consent of Seller. In the event that Purchaser desires to assign its rights under this Agreement to an Affiliate or Qualified Intermediary, Purchaser shall send written notice to Seller at least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing stating the name and, if applicable, the constituent persons or entities of the Affiliate or Qualified Intermediary and providing the signature block of the Affiliate or Qualified Intermediary. Such assignment shall not become effective until such Affiliate or Qualified Intermediary executes an instrument reasonably satisfactory to Seller in form and substance whereby the Affiliate or Qualified Intermediary expressly assumes each of the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement, including specifically, without limitation, all obligations concerning the Xxxxxxx Money. No assignment shall release or otherwise relieve Purchaser from any obligations hereunder. For purposes of this Section 11.5, the term “Affiliate” means any Person that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Person in question. For purposes of this definition, “control” means the power to direct the day-to-day management and policies of a Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, status as a general partner or managing member, by contract or otherwise, and “Person” means an individual, or a general partnership, limited partnership, corporation, professional corporation, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, joint venture, trust, business trust, cooperative or association or any other legally-recognized entity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall not have the right to assign this Agreement to any assignee which, in the reasonable judgment of Seller, will cause the transaction contemplated hereby or any
28
party thereto to violate the requirements of ERISA. In order to enable Seller to make such determination, Purchaser shall cause to be delivered to Seller such information as is requested by Seller with respect to a proposed assignee and the constituent persons or entities of any proposed assignee, including specifically, without limitation, any pension or profit sharing plans related thereto.
11.6 Notices. Any notice pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing by (a) personal delivery, or (b) reputable overnight delivery service with proof of delivery, or (c) United States Mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or (d) legible email/PDF transmission sent to the intended addressee at the address set forth below, or to such other address or to the attention of such other person as the addressee shall have designated by written notice sent in accordance herewith, and shall be deemed to have been given either at the time of personal delivery, or, in the case of expedited delivery service or mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein, or, in the case of facsimile transmission, as of the date of the facsimile transmission provided that an original of such facsimile is also sent to the intended addressee by means described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above, and provided also that delivery after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day, or on a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed delivered on the following Business Day.
