5.1.2 Real estate taxes, general, special and/or betterment assessments and personal property taxes shall be prorated for those taxes which are due and payable as of the Closing Date. In the event that as of the Closing Date the actual tax bills for the tax year or years in question are not available and the amount of taxes to be prorated as aforesaid cannot be ascertained, then rates, millages and assessed valuation of the previous year, with known changes, shall be used; and after the Closing occurs and when the actual amount of taxes for the year or years in question shall be determinable, such taxes will be re-prorated between the parties to reflect the actual amount of such taxes.
5.1.3 Rentals and other payments (other than “percentage rent” and common area maintenance charges which are dealt with in Section 5.1.4 and Section 5.1.6) which are payable pursuant to Space Leases shall be prorated on a per diem basis as and when collected (subject to the provisions of Section 5.3).

Any percentage rent collected by Buyer including any percentage rent which is delinquent and pertaining to (i) an entire lease year or accounting period of a tenant under a Space Lease which ends on a date prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) that portion of a lease year or accounting period of such tenant covering a period prior to the Closing Date where such lease year or accounting period begins prior to the Closing Date and ends thereafter shall in both cases be paid to Seller within ten (10) days of receipt by Buyer; and if any tenant’s Space Lease provides for offsets or deductions against percentage rent, then such offsets or deductions shall be prorated in the same manner as the percentage rent itself is prorated. This provision shall survive Closing.
5.1.5 Gas, water, electricity, heat, fuel, sewer and other utilities charges to which Section 5.1.1 cannot be applied, and the governmental licenses, permits and inspection fees and operating expenses relating to the Shopping Center (expressly excluding therefrom, however, such expenses relating to the initial construction of the Shopping Center), shall be prorated on a per diem basis.

Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, with regard to each Shopping Center tenant required to pay common area charges (“CAM Charges”) under its lease, a detailed computation showing all CAM Charge expenses incurred by Seller for the period from the beginning of each such tenant’s then current billing period for CAM Charges (e.g., calendar year, lease year, etc.) through the Closing Date, any CAM estimated payments or charges collected by Seller relating to such tenant (hereinafter “CAM Estimates”), and a xxxx for the tenant’s pro rata share of CAM Charges (i.e., for CAM charges through the Closing Date net of any such CAM Estimates held by Seller), together with all invoices and other evidence documenting such CAM Charges in detail required by such tenant’s lease. Buyer shall send any such bills to tenants promptly following Closing, in which event such tenant shall pay any amount shown due directly to Seller, and except as otherwise stated in Section 5.3.3 below Buyer shall have no responsibility to collect same. However, if any tenant rightfully refuses to pay such xxxx for CAM Charges due through the Closing Date, then Buyer shall resubmit such xxxx to any such tenant at the same time as Buyer next submits Buyer’s own xxxx to any such tenant; and any payment thereafter made by any such tenant on account of CAM Charges shall belong to and be forwarded within ten (10) days of its receipt to Seller until Seller’s xxxx is paid in full.
Any CAM Estimates for any tenant shall be retained by Seller up to the amount of the pre-Closing CAM Charges payable by such tenant as evidenced by such bills and computations delivered by Seller at Closing, and Buyer shall receive a credit for any excess CAM Estimates collected by Seller.
5.1.7 All prepaid rentals, other prepaid payments(other than monthly real estate tax estimates or installments), security deposits paid pursuant to Space Leases, electric, gas, sewer and water deposits deposited with Seller by tenants, (including any accrued interest required under any Space Lease on all of the foregoing, unless Seller is entitled to retain the benefit thereof) under any Space Leases, license agreements or concession agreements relating to the Property, shall all belong to Buyer and all shall be assigned and delivered to Buyer at Closing, whereupon Seller shall be released from all liability with respect thereto. At Seller’s option, Buyer shall receive a cash credit in the amount of all Security Deposits to be delivered to Buyer at Closing, and Seller may retain same.

5.2 All prorations and payments to be made under the foregoing provisions shall be made on the basis of a written statement or statements delivered to Buyer by Seller and approved by Buyer. In the event any prorations, apportionments or computation shall prove to be incorrect for any reason, then either party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same, provided that it makes written demand on the one from who it is entitled to such adjustment within two (2) years after the erroneous payment or computation was made; this provision shall survive Closing.
5.3 All accounts receivable flowing from the Property shall be treated as follows:
5.3.1 Buyer and Seller agree to treat all base or minimum rental payments received from a tenant as applicable to base or minimum rent which was owed by that tenant, if any, first for the month prior to the month in which Closing occurs and next for the month in which Closing occurs until the base or minimum rental amount due to Seller for such periods have been collected. In the event that there remains any unpaid base or minimum rent for a period prior to such periods, all payments of base or minimum rent received from such tenant shall be applied to sums owed Buyer before any part thereof shall be treated as belonging to Seller. In the event that there remains any unpaid tenant receivable other than base or minimum rent (including without limitation any tax, CAM, insurance or percentage rent payments) for any period prior to Closing, all payments received from any tenant in arrears (whether base or minimum rent or any other amount) shall be applied first to any such sums owed Buyer from such tenant before any part thereof shall be treated as belonging to Seller.
5.3.2 In the event that any tenant of Seller or Buyer shall hereafter apply or shall have heretofore applied for relief under the provisions of any bankruptcy or similar laws for the protection of debtors, the provisions of Section 5.3.1 shall not apply, and the parties shall have the right to seek collection of their respective accounts, their entitlements being determined by the Closing and the other provisions of this Agreement. Neither party shall have the right to enter into any transactions that purport to compromise claims belonging to the other, without the other party’s prior written consent.
5.3.3 “If at the Closing Date any tenants owe Seller any money (i.e. reimbursements to Seller for payment of liens or violations on the Property that were created by tenant(s) but that Seller is required hereunder to satisfy in order to effectuate the sale of the Property or rent arrears (which shall include CAM and tax reimbursements)), Seller shall have
5
the right, subsequent to the Closing, to collect such sums directly from the tenants, including bringing lawsuits against the tenants (at Seller’s sole expense) for such collection (except that Seller is prohibited from bringing a lawsuit against any tenant(s) to collect rent in arrears for a period of thirty (30) days after such dispute or arrears has arisen (the “Buyer Collection Period”); instead Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such arrears on Seller’s behalf, if Buyer is unsuccessful in collecting the tenant arrears by the expiration of the Buyer Collection Period, then Seller shall have the right to collect such sums directly form the tenants including bringing lawsuits against the tenants (at Sellers sole expense) for such collection, however, Seller agrees that any such legal action or collection shall not include any disturbance of the possession, use or occupancy of the tenants or any right to evict the tenants, whether pursuant to the lease provisions or otherwise, and Buyer shall at Seller’s expense join in any lawsuit and/or also participate or cooperate with Seller in its collection attempts. Buyer will (at Seller’s expense) join in such a lawsuit or action only if the same does not include or require disturbance of the possession of any tenants.”
5.3.4 In the event Seller has granted rent concessions to tenants under space lease(s) that would extend beyond the Closing Date, Buyer shall receive credit for same.
5.4 Intentionally Deleted.
5.5 The provisions of this Article 5 will survive Closing.
6. TITLE AND SURVEY.
6.1 Seller shall convey and Buyer shall accept, subject to the right of Buyer to review and approve all title matters, documents and plats of record in regard to the condition of title to the Property, title such as the Title Company will be willing to approve and insure subject only to Permitted Exceptions as provided for in this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges that it has heretofore received copies of Seller’s existing title insurance policy for the Real Estate (the “Existing Title Policy”) and of Seller’s existing survey of the Real Estate (the “Existing Survey”). Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Buyer may (if it so elects) obtain(see Section 6.4 for allocation of costs) updates of the Existing Survey to the certification standards described upon the Surveyor’s certification attached hereto as Exhibit 13 and made a part hereof (such updated survey hereinafter referred to as the “Updated Survey”); if Buyer does obtain such an Updated Survey, Buyer shall cause it to be certified to Seller and Buyer shall promptly furnish Buyer, Seller and the Title Company with a copy thereof. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall also (see Section 6.4 for allocation of costs) obtain a commitment for ALTA Form B Leasehold Title Insurance (the “Title Commitment”); and Buyer shall promptly cause the Title Company to furnish Seller and Buyer with true accurate and complete copies thereof (including true, accurate and complete copies of all underlying title exception documents referenced therein). Not later than the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall give Seller written notice (“Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice”) of any title exceptions which are contained in the Title Commitment and/or the Survey which are not Permitted Exceptions. Failure by Buyer to give Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice (or to object to any matter referenced in the Title Commitment) to Seller on or before said date shall constitute Buyer’s final and irrevocable approval of the condition of title (and to any such unobjected to matter) in and to the Real Estate. If Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice shall be timely given Seller shall have a period of fifteen (15) days following Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice, to commence to remove, correct, cure or satisfy (provided Seller does in fact elect to so remove, correct, cure or satisfy) any title exceptions that were identified in Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice as not being Permitted Exceptions, it being nevertheless agreed that Seller shall have no obligation to undertake any action or to incur any expense in order to effectuate any such removal, correction, cure or satisfaction (except that notwithstanding the foregoing Seller shall be required to remove or discharge any fee mortgages or deeds of trust, as well as any other liens in an ascertainable dollar amount). In the event that Seller elects not to attempt to remove, correct, cure or satisfy the matters raised in Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice, or if having elected to do so, does not within thirty (30) days thereafter, (or such additional time as is reasonably necessary (not to exceed an additional fifteen (15) days without Buyer’s written consent) to remove, correct, cure or satisfy the matter(s) so raised using commercially reasonable good faith efforts) effectuate any such removal, correction, cure or satisfaction as aforesaid (hereinafter called “title correction”), Buyer shall have the right at its sole option either (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall thereafter have any further liability hereunder, or (b) to accept such title as is disclosed by the Title Commitment and/or Survey without title correction and without Survey correction and without any reduction to the Purchase Price, thereby waiving any rights against Seller with respect thereto. Said election shall be made by Buyer within three (3) days following Buyer’s receipt of written notification by Seller that Seller has not effectuated (or has elected not to effectuate) title correction. In the event that Seller (even though under no duty to do so) shall undertake title correction and/or Survey correction as aforesaid, and shall be successful, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and Buyer shall close the transaction
6
contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event that Seller shall only be partially successful in obtaining title and/or Survey correction, Buyer shall have the same alternative rights as Buyer would have in the event Seller had declined to seek title and/or Survey correction (as set forth above). Buyer shall make its election within three (3) days after Buyer’s receipt of written notice from Seller to Buyer of the extent to which title and/or the Survey has been corrected.
6.2 If at the Closing Date there may be any liens or encumbrances which render title unmarketable or otherwise are not permitted title exceptions hereunder, and which Seller is obligated or desires to pay and discharge, Seller may use any portion of the balance of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same, provided Seller shall simultaneously either deliver to Buyer at the Closing instruments in recordable form and sufficient to satisfy such liens and encumbrances of record together with the cost of recording or filing said instruments; or provided that Seller has made arrangements with the title company in advance of Closing, Seller will deposit with said company sufficient monies, acceptable to and required by it to insure obtaining and the recording of such satisfactions and the issuance of title insurance to Buyer either free of any such liens and encumbrances, or with insurance against enforcement of same out of the insured premises. The existence of any such liens and encumbrances shall not be deemed objections to title, if Seller shall comply with the foregoing requirements. Unpaid liens for taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments which are the obligation of Seller to satisfy and discharge shall be objections to title, and thus the amount thereof, plus interest and penalties thereon, shall be deducted from the Purchase Price to be paid hereunder and allowed to Buyer, subject to the provisions for apportionment of taxes, water charges and sewer rents contained herein. Unpaid franchise tax of any entity in the chain of title to which such tax is applicable, or estate, income or other taxes which may be liens against the Property as of the Closing Date shall not be an objection to title, provided the title company agrees to insure against the collection of said taxes from the Property and in such event if required by the title company, Seller agrees to deposit at Closing with the title company an amount deemed reasonable by it to secure the payment of such unpaid franchise tax, or other tax.
6.3 In the event that Seller is unable to convey title in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or if any representation of Seller herein is untrue in a material respect on the Closing Date and Seller does not correct same (it being understood Seller will be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of Closing for such purpose, not to exceed fifteen (15) days), the sole responsibility of Seller will be to refund (or cause to be refunded by the Escrow Agent) to Buyer any amount paid on account of the Purchase Price; upon the making of such refund, this Agreement shall be deemed canceled, neither party shall have any further claim against the other by reason of this Agreement, except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8.
6.4 The costs of obtaining the Title Commitment, the policy of title insurance to issue at Closing (in form subject to Buyer’s sole discretion, and agreed to prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period) with premium up to the amount of the Purchase Price “Basic Title Policy” shall be split equally between Buyer and Seller. The costs of any excess coverage or endorsements including, but not limited to, Zoning 3.1; Survey; Access, Usury, Location, Tax ID, Contiguity, EPA, Comprehensive and Doing Business, to the extent available or applicable (the “Title Endorsements”), shall be borne by Buyer (Basic Title Policy plus endorsements shall be referred to collectively as the “Title Policy”) and expressly excluding therefrom, however, the costs to release any monetary encumbrance affecting the Property and any title curative endorsements which shall be borne by Seller. All costs of the survey shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer.
7. DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OR REQUIRED ALTERATION.
7.1 Prior to Closing, in the event of any damage to or destruction of all or part of the Real Estate (notice of which shall be given to Buyer by Seller as soon as practicable following its occurrence), then Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to adjourn the Closing Date for up to sixty (60) days in order to repair or replace such damage or destruction, except that if the cost of such repair or replacement exceeds ten percent of the Purchase Price, then in any such case (i) Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice of its intention to do so, such notice by Buyer to Seller to be given not later than three (3) days after Buyer shall have received the notice from Seller of such aforesaid occurrence, (in which event the Deposit shall forthwith be returned to Buyer, whereupon this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever, except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8); or (ii) if Buyer elects not to (or does not have the right to) terminate this Agreement, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect except that at Closing Buyer shall receive an abatement of the Purchase Price in an amount equal to Seller’s reasonable good faith estimate of the amount required to repair and restore all unrepaired damage (and Seller shall retain all rights to collect insurance proceeds for such loss). Buyer may elect to have its architect provide a good faith estimate of the amount required to repair and restore all unrepaired damage. If Seller’s estimate disagrees with Buyer’s architect’s estimate, the parties shall select another architect to make a final determination of the amount required to repair and restore all

unrepaired damage and both parties shall be bound by the third architect’s determination. The party whose architect differs most from the third architect’s determination shall pay the third architect’s fee.
7.2(a) In the event that any governmental authority having jurisdiction of all or part of the Real Estate has notified Seller before the Closing that some alteration of or addition to the Real Estate is required to be made by law, rule or regulation (notice of which shall be given to Buyer by Seller as soon as practicable after its receipt) or otherwise requires a cure of a violation, then (subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(b)) Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to undertake such alteration or addition or cure; provided, however, that if the cost of such alteration or addition or cure shall exceed the sum of one (1%) percent of the Purchase Price, then in such event Seller may either elect to pay the entire cost and cure the same before the Closing or may decline to undertake the same, in which event Buyer shall have the option, exercisable within three (3) days following notice from Seller of the requirement and Seller’s refusal to comply therewith, (i) to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller notice thereof (in which event the Deposit shall forthwith be returned to Buyer, whereupon the Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever, except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8); or (ii) if such notice of termination is not timely given, to proceed with the Closing, in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by Seller’s reasonable good faith estimate of the cost to cure, up to the maximum sum of one percent of the Purchase Price. Buyer may elect to have its engineer provide a good faith estimate of the cost to cure. If Seller’s estimate disagrees with Buyer’s architect’s estimate, the parties shall select a another engineer to make a final determination of the cost to cure and both parties shall be bound by the third engineer’s determination. The party whose engineer differs most from the third engineer’s determination shall pay the third engineer’s fee.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 7.2(a), Seller may elect but shall have no obligation to cure or pay for, any violation which either (i) is first placed (i.e., notice first given to Seller or first placed of record) after the date of this Agreement, or (ii) is the responsibility of a Shopping Center tenant to cure or discharge pursuant to its Space Lease. In the event Seller elects to cure or pay for such violation(s), Seller shall have a period of fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of the violation to commence to cure or pay for same, and shall proceed with diligence to cure same, however, if Seller elects to cure a violation, and Seller reasonably believe that the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) will need to be extended more than thirty (30) days to effectuate the cure, then Seller shall not commence to cure the violation then Buyer may elect to (i) complete the purchase without any adjustment in the Purchase Price or (ii) terminate the Agreement in such event, unless Buyer agrees to the required extension. In the event Seller elects not to cure or pay for such violation, the sole responsibility of Seller will be to refund (or cause to be refunded by the Escrow Agent) to Buyer any amount paid on account of the Purchase Price; upon the making of such refund, this Agreement shall be deemed cancelled, neither party shall have any further claim against the other by reason of this Agreement, except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8.
8. EMINENT DOMAIN. In the event that any eminent domain proceedings shall be commenced prior to the Closing affecting (i) any of the parking area(s) within the Real Estate or any access roadway serving the Real Estate that is not replaced by an access roadway in a comparable location with respect to the Real Estate; or (ii) which is of such a nature as would permit any tenant occupying leased premises to cancel its Space Lease, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, by written notice given to Seller within three (3) days after the event, (in which case the Deposit shall forthwith be returned to Buyer, whereupon the Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever). In any case wherein Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8 and Buyer elects not to terminate, or in any case wherein Buyer does not have the right to terminate, Buyer and Seller shall consummate Closing on the Closing Date, without any reduction to or abatement of the Purchase Price, and all theretofore unpaid condemnation awards shall belong to Buyer.
9. NO ASSIGNMENT. Buyer shall not have the right to assign this Agreement or its rights under this Agreement without obtaining in each instance Seller’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right, without Seller’s consent, to assign its entire right, title and interest in and to this Agreement, expressly including the Deposit, to any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Buyer or Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, (an “Affiliate”); provided that, not less than three (3) business days prior to Closing, Seller receives an executed assignment and assumption agreement, in a commercially reasonable form, which expressly assigns the Deposit and in which such assignee expressly assumes performance of this Agreement for the benefit of Seller.

If Seller is unable to obtain any such required estoppel from a tenant prior to Closing, Seller shall deliver its own estoppel in the form attached as Exhibit 10 (provided, however, Buyer shall not be obligated to accept Seller’s estoppel, which shall survive Closing (but if post-Closing Seller delivers any such tenant estoppel, Seller shall be relieved from responsibility under any Seller estoppel it delivered regarding all matters confirmed by such tenant estoppel). If Seller fails to deliver any such required estoppel, Seller shall have no liability by reason thereof provided, however that Seller shall not be required to deliver its own estoppel containing an assertion that Seller in good faith believes to be untrue, and Buyer’s sole right shall be to terminate this Agreement and to obtain a refund of the Deposit as set forth in Section 14.3. If any estoppel certificate is dated earlier than forty (40) days prior to the Closing Date, in lieu of requiring Seller to obtain a new estoppel from the subject tenant(s), which shall be required of Seller if any estoppel certificate is dated earlier than sixty (60) days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer agrees that Seller may deliver, at Closing, its representation that to the best of Seller’s knowledge, the facts in said estoppel remain true in all material respects as of the Closing Date.
(d) Seller shall use its commercially reasonable good faith efforts to obtain, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, an estoppel certificate from each party to, or affected by any declaration, association, reciprocal easement, or like agreement affecting the Property (hereinafter “REA estoppel”). Seller will request that the estoppel be in a form substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit 11 and made a part hereof. In the alternative, within five (5) days of the date this Agreement is fully executed by Seller and Buyer, Seller shall provide Buyer with the necessary information for each REA party such that during the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may request the REA estoppel from the REA parties directly. In the event Seller and Buyer are unable to obtain these estoppels despite Seller’s commercially reasonable good faith efforts prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller may deliver and Buyer may accept (although nothing contained herein shall require Buyer to accept), its own estoppel in the form attached as Exhibit 11, which shall survive Closing (but if post-Closing Seller delivers any such REA estoppel, Seller shall be relieved from responsibility under any Seller estoppel it delivered regarding all matters confirmed by such “REA” estoppel).
(e) It shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to remit the remainder of the Purchase Price to the Title Company on the Closing Date and effectuate the transaction contemplated herein that on or before the third (3rd) business day prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall have received an assignment of all warranties and guaranties, if available, for materials and workmanship benefiting the Property, including an acknowledgment by the material and/or service provider of the acceptance of the assignment where required by the terms of the warranty and/or guaranty, with all fees and costs of such assignment (and inspection, if required) (not to exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00)) being paid at the sole cost and expense of Seller; any such costs or fees in excess of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) being shared equally between the parties hereto.
(B) At Closing, Seller and Buyer shall each execute and deliver to the other the following:
(a) An Assignment and Assumption Agreement for the Space Leases in the form of Exhibit 4 attached hereto.
(b) An Assignment and Assumption Agreement for the Service Contracts, in the form of Exhibit 5 attached hereto.
(c) Notices to tenants, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 14, and made a part hereof, notifying them of the sale and (if applicable) the transfer of their security deposit to Buyer.
(d) Notice to OEA parties in form required by the OEA.
(e) To the extent at closing Seller has not entered into a lease for the space for 2,675 square feet vacancy noted on Exhibit 9, then Seller shall master lease same pursuant to the terms hereof (the “New Vacant Space”) a Master Lease for a term expiring on the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months or (ii) such date as Seller leases the Vacant Space. Lease-up of the Property shall in no event yield an average Fixed Rent and Reimbursements amount that is less than the sum of Fixed Rent and Reimbursements per the Rent Roll. The Master Lease shall be in the form of Exhibit 8 attached hereto and
10
shall incorporate that portion of the Property vacant space for which a bona fide Space Lease(s) had been executed but have become vacant between the date hereof and the date of Closing with the “Tenant Conditions” (as hereinafter defined) having been satisfied. For the purposes hereof, the Tenant Conditions for any Property vacant space gross leasable area are hereby defined as (i) a signed lease, and (ii) with Tenant either paying full rent and reimbursements or the all conditions precedent to Rent Commencement Date (as defined in such tenant lease) shall have occurred or been satisfied and (iii) with all the leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances either paid for by Seller or credited to Buyer and (iv) with a certificate of occupancy or its equivalent occupancy permit issued by the local governmental authorities, for such tenant’s respective demised premises (v) Tenant shall have open and operated for its permitted use for at lease one day (vi) and Seller obtains an estoppel from Tenant that the delivery conditions (i.e. Landlord Work) has been completed or Seller shall give a Seller estoppel to that effect. If a bona fide Space Lease for the Vacant Space or any portion thereof with the Tenant Conditions satisfied is executed prior to the Closing Date, the parties shall either not enter into a Seller Lease or the applicable provisions thereof (including but not limited to the annual base rent) shall be adjusted accordingly to reflect that portion of the Vacant Space that is leased and thus released and not covered by the Master Lease. Seller acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for placing all vacant space in Vanilla Box condition however, it may be satisfied by second generation space in “as is” condition such that a tenant has already occupied same, and needn’t be in “new” condition.
11.4 Each party shall pay its own legal fees and travel and lodging expenses in connection with this transaction. Seller shall pay for all transfer taxes and documentary stamps and the parties shall each pay 1/2 of the recording charges for transfer of title to the Real Estate and the “New York Style” closing escrow fees charged by the Title Company.
11.5 Buyer also agrees to cooperate with Seller to permit the conveyance of the Property to be consummated as a part of a transaction intended by Seller to qualify as a tax-free exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and in conjunction therewith to execute such documents as Seller may reasonably request (such cooperation may include, without limitation, accepting a conveyance from a party other than Seller and paying the Purchase Price to a party other than Seller). In no event, however, shall (a) Buyer bear any expense associated with the exchange transaction, (b) Buyer be obligated to take title to Seller’s exchange property, (c) the consummation of such tax-free exchange materially delay the conveyance to Buyer of the Property, (d) Buyer have any liability to Seller or any other party for the qualification of the exchange transaction for tax-free exchange treatment under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code or under any other provision and (e) the consummation of such tax free exchange relieve Seller of any of its obligations hereunder.

numbers; Seller (000) 000-0000, Buyer (000) 000-0000, (000) 000-0000, (000) 000-0000 and (000) 000-0000;, and Escrow Agent (000) 000-0000, Attn: Xxxxx Xxxxxx, provided that a “hard copy” of such notice is sent within one (1) business day after such telecopier transmission in the manner above set forth; and in the case of notice by telecopier (with confirmation sent as aforesaid), notice shall be deemed given upon electronic confirmation of receipt.
14. DEFAULTS.
14.1 If Closing does not take place because of Buyer’s default the Deposit shall be retained by Seller as agreed upon liquidated damages as Seller’s sole remedy for such default, and thereupon this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever (except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8). The parties hereto expressly agree that Seller’s actual damages in the event of a default by Buyer would be extremely difficult or impractical to ascertain and that the amount of the Deposit represents the parties’ reasonable estimate of such damages.
14.2 If Closing does not occur due to Seller’s willful default and refusal to close despite Buyer’s willingness to do so (such willingness includes waiver by Buyer of any uncured title objection properly made by Buyer under Section 6.1 or material breach of representation or warranty by Seller) (such willful default and refusal being hereinafter referred to as a “Seller Default”), then Buyer, as its sole and exclusive right and remedy as a result of such Seller Default, may elect to either (i) cancel this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, Seller shall be liable for any title and survey costs, as well as environmental site assessment, appraisal and legal fees theretofore incurred by Buyer (however Seller shall not be obligated to reimburse Buyer more than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) in the aggregate for such environmental site assessment, appraisal and legal fees), and thereupon no party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder (except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8), or (ii) Buyer may enforce specific performance of this Agreement without any reduction or abatement of the Purchase Price, together with the right of Buyer to collect its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of suit, subject to the limitation on Landlord’s reimbursement of same described above.
14.3 Subject to the provisions of Article 14.1 and 14.2 above, if Closing should not occur for any reason whatsoever other than a default by Buyer or a Seller Default (including without limitation by reason of a material breach of representation or warranty of Seller or an uncured title objection properly made by Buyer under Section 6.1, or a failure to deliver any tenant estoppel required hereunder) which Buyer is not willing to waive, then in such event this Agreement shall be and be deemed cancelled, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and thereupon Buyer shall have no other right, by way of damages or otherwise, against Seller notwithstanding the existence of any failure or breach of representation, warranty, covenant, title, provision of estoppel or other Closing condition (provided that Buyer will remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8).
15. MISCELLANEOUS.
15.1 The representations, warranties and covenants contained in Article 10 of this Agreement shall survive delivery of the deed for a period of twelve (12) months. Other than the survival of such representations, warranties and covenants, the acceptance of the deed by Buyer shall be conclusive evidence of the performance by Seller of all of the provisions of this Agreement to be performed by Seller.
15.2 This Agreement (including the Exhibits attached hereto) contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, if any, with respect thereto.
15.3 This Agreement may not be canceled, modified, changed or supplemented, nor may any obligation hereunder be waived, except by written instrument signed by the party to be charged or by its agent duly authorized in writing.
15.4 The parties do not intend to confer any benefit hereunder on any person, firm or corporation other than the parties hereto and their respective successors or assigns.
15.5 “TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE” with respect to all provisions of this Agreement, with the sole exception that each of Buyer and Seller shall be entitled to a single adjournment (not to exceed two (2) business days in any event) of the Closing Date.
13
15.6 This Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon the legal representatives, heirs, executors, administrators and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the permitted assigns of the parties hereto.
15.7 Intentionally Deleted.
15.8 Buyer represents and warrants that it will keep all information and/or reports and/or documents obtained from Seller or its agents (including without limitation the rent and other terms of the Space Leases), or related to or connected with the Property (including without limitation the existence of this Agreement and the Purchase Price) strictly confidential and will not disclose any such information to any person or entity (except for Buyer’s attorneys, consultants and advisors and except as required by law; provided that any such parties similarly agree to treat such material confidentially), without the prior written consent of Seller. In amplification and not in limitation of the foregoing, Buyer may not make any public disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement prior to Closing.
15.9 This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State wherein the Property is located. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with its plain meaning and without reference to any maxim or rule of interpretation providing that a writing should be construed against the party responsible for the drafting thereof.
15.10 This Agreement shall not be recorded or filed in the public records of any jurisdiction by either party and any attempt to do so may be treated by the other party as a breach of this Agreement.
15.11 This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original.
16. Conditions Precedent to Buyer’s Obligation.
In addition to the conditions precedent described in Article 11-3(A) (c), (d) & (e), Buyer’s obligation to remit the remainder of the Purchase Price to the Title Company on the Closing Date and effectuate the transaction contemplated hereunder is subject to and contingent upon the following;

It shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close with respect to the Property that, at the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a Certificate that shall confirm, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, the truth and accuracy in all material respects, as of Closing, of Seller’s representations contained in this Agreement, and the representations contained in such certificate, as well as any continuing obligations of Seller hereunder, shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months; and
(c) That as of the date of closing: (i) neither Seller, as landlord under the Space Leases, nor any tenant thereunder, shall be in material default under the terms of any Space Lease and (ii) and eight-five percent (85%) of the Property gross leaseable area being leased to tenants with the Tenant Conditions satisfied.
