Any such reimbursements attributable to expenditures billed by the Seller prior to Closing which are paid by such tenant to the Purchaser after Closing will be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller within five (5) business days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof, in accordance with Section 9.1(ii) below. Purchaser may obtain additional information regarding the fence project during the Inspection Period, and Seller will reasonably cooperate with such Purchaser requests for additional information.
4. Inspection; Condition of Property and Title.
4.1 Right of Inspection. Purchaser shall have the right, at its own risk, cost and expense, at any time prior to Closing during normal business hours (i.e. Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. - federal holidays excepted) upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Seller, and subject to the approval of the tenant under the Government Lease with respect to any entry into the leased premises, to enter, or cause its agents or representatives to enter, upon the Property for the purpose of making surveys, tests, test borings, inspections, investigations and architectural, structural, economic, environmental and other studies of the
6
Property as Purchaser may deem desirable. Seller agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in connection with any other information regarding the Property reasonably requested by Purchaser and will provide or make available such information during the Inspection Period and at all periods thereafter through the Closing to the extent either in Seller’s possession or control. Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, promptly and fully restore any damage or destruction to the Property occurring as a result of any act or omission of Purchaser by reason of such tests, studies or investigations. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against all loss, cost, damage or claim (including attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred, court costs and costs of investigation) arising out of or resulting from Purchaser’s exercise of the right and privilege granted to Purchaser contained in this Section 4, and the undertakings contained in this Section 4 shall survive closing or prior termination of this Agreement. The obligations of Purchaser under the immediately preceding sentence shall expressly survive any termination of this Agreement.
4.2 Inspection Period. Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement are subject to Purchaser’s approval of the Property for Purchaser’s intended use and to satisfaction of certain other contingencies more fully described in Article 5 below. Purchaser shall have the period commencing on the date hereof and ending at 5 p.m. on that date which is thirty (30) days after the date of a fully executed copy of this Agreement shall be delivered to Purchaser (the “Inspection Period”) to inspect the Property and to conduct such tests and investigations as it deems advisable in order to determine that the Property can be used for Purchaser’s intended use. Also during the Inspection Period, to assist Purchaser in its inspection as an accommodation by the Seller, the Seller agrees to use good faith efforts to obtain assurances (in writing if possible) from the tenant under the Government Lease that it consents to the assignment of the Government Lease to the Purchaser or its permitted affiliate hereunder, and the Seller agrees upon reasonable notice from the Purchaser to facilitate a conversation between the Purchaser and a representative for the tenant under the Government Lease (provided that the Seller at the Seller’s option may be a party to any such conversation), but Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser if Seller is unable to obtain such assurances or to organize such a conversation despite such good faith efforts. If, during the Inspection Period, Purchaser in its sole discretion is not satisfied with the results of its inspection or its findings hereof for any or no reason whatsoever, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing (prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period) in which event:
(i) | the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser; | |||
(ii) | this Agreement shall be terminated; and | |||
(iii) | the parties shall be relieved of any further obligation and responsibility under this Agreement, subject only to the Purchaser’s obligations under Section 4.1. |
It is expressly recognized and agreed by the parties that following delivery by Purchaser of the Supplemental Deposit, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its termination right under this Section 4.2, and the entire Deposit shall thereupon be deemed at risk to Purchaser. Consequently, should Purchaser wrongfully fail to settle on the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Deposit shall be non-refundable to Purchaser and paid to Seller in accordance with the Default provisions below provided as final, liquidated damages.
4.3. “As-Is and Where Is Condition.” The Purchaser acknowledges that, subject to Purchaser’s rights in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 above, it is accepting the Property “as is and
7
where is,” in its present physical condition, which Purchaser is familiar with or has had adequate opportunity to become familiar with. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has made no representations or warranties to the Purchaser regarding the condition of the Property.
4.4 Title Commitment. Purchaser shall be responsible for obtaining a preliminary title report for the Property after the Effective Date, and shall notify Seller in writing after Purchaser’s receipt thereof whether any items shown on such title report are unacceptable to Purchaser. Seller may, at its sole option, seek to cure any such title defects on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period. However, any title defects or exceptions shown on Purchaser’s title report which Purchaser does not object to in writing prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, or which remain uncured for any reason at the expiration of the Inspection Period (regardless of whether or not Purchaser has objected thereto), shall be deemed waived by Purchaser after the expiration of the Inspection Period and shall thereafter constitute “Permitted Exceptions” for all purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all liens securing the Existing Indebtedness shall be removed and discharged at Closing and shall not be Permitted Exceptions irrespective of whether or not such items were objected to by Purchaser as aforesaid.
5. Conditions Precedent to Closing
5.1 Purchaser’s Conditions Precedent to Closing. It shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to make a full settlement hereunder that each and every one of the following conditions shall exist on the Closing Date:
(a) Representations and Warranties. Each of Seller’s representations and warranties contained herein shall be true and correct in all material respects in the same manner and with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the Closing Date. In addition, Seller shall have complied with its obligations under Article 12 below as of the Closing Date.
(b) Title Insurance. Purchaser shall have been able to secure a commitment naming Purchaser as the proposed insured, for an owner’s policy of title insurance (“Title Policy”) for the Property. Upon Purchaser’s payment to the title company of the stipulated title insurance premium, the Title Policy shall insure Purchaser that, upon consummation of the purchase and sale herein contemplated at the Closing, Purchaser will be vested with good, fee simple, marketable title to the Property (having a legal description consistent with that set forth on the annexed Exhibit A), free and clear of all encumbrances other than the Permitted Exceptions and exceptions to be discharged at Closing.
(c) Condition of Property. Seller shall not have committed waste or nuisance upon the Property and shall have maintained and kept the Property (including the grounds thereof) in substantially the same order and condition as exists as of the date hereof, normal wear, tear and obsolescence excepted. Seller shall not cause any renovations, alterations or significant cosmetic changes to be made at or to the Property prior to Closing except required repairs and any alterations or changes made with Purchaser’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned). Seller shall not have undertaken or permitted any action within Seller’s control, without the consent of Purchaser, which would impair or otherwise affect the use, ownership, acquisition or development of the Property on or after Closing in any
8
material, adverse respect or which would cause any of the representations or warranties set forth herein to be untrue in any material respect.
(d) Statement of Lease. Seller shall have delivered to the Purchaser a Statement of Lease (or comparably titled document) from the tenant under the Government Lease containing customary estoppel-type statements regarding the status of the Government Lease as shall be reasonably required by the Purchaser.
(e) Covenants of Seller. Seller shall have delivered those documents required of Seller at Closing under Section 7 herein.
5.2 Concurrent Closing with Aquia One. Concurrent with execution of this Agreement, Aquia Commerce Center, LC, a Virginia limited liability company (the “Related Seller”) controlled by the same individuals as Seller, and Purchaser have entered into that certain other Agreement of Sale and Purchase (the “Aquia One Contract”) for the property known by street address as 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx (“Aquia One”). Purchaser and Seller recognize and agree that the sale of the Property is expressly conditioned upon the concurrent closing by Related Seller and Purchaser, or an entity to be designated by Purchaser for the purpose of acquiring Aquia One (a “Related Purchaser”), on Aquia One. If due to the default of the Purchaser the Aquia One Contract terminates or the closing on the Aquia One Contract shall not occur by the deadline for closing thereunder, such default shall constitute a default under this Agreement and the provisions of Section 11.1 below shall apply. If due to the default of the Seller the Aquia One Contract terminates or the closing on the Aquia One Contract shall not occur by the deadline for closing thereunder, such default shall constitute a default under this Agreement. In such event, Purchaser shall be entitled to elect its remedy under Section 11.2 herein, but Purchaser agrees that it shall not be entitled to (i) waive the default and proceed to Closing on this Agreement without closing on the Aquia One Contract, or (ii) elect to pursue a suit for specific performance unless Purchaser has also elected to pursue specific performance on the Aquia One Contract. If for any reason other than a Purchaser or Seller default the Aquia One Contract shall terminate in accordance with its terms or the closing on the Aquia One Contract shall not occur by the deadline for closing thereunder, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate, the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser and the parties shall be released of all obligations hereunder other than the obligations of Purchaser under Section 4.1.
5.3 Failure of Condition to Purchaser’s Obligations. In the event of the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.1 above as of the Closing Date, Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing Date by written notice to the Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days in order to attempt to satisfy such condition. In the event of the failure as of the Closing Date (as the same may have been extended) of any condition precedent set forth above, Purchaser, at its sole election, may, at its option, either:
(i) | terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, whereupon neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities to the other, subject only to the obligations of the Purchaser under Section 4.1, or | |||
(ii) | waive the condition and proceed to Closing. |
9
However, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to affect the rights of Purchaser under Section 11.2 in the event Seller has breached a representation or warranty made by Seller under this Agreement or Seller shall willfully default in its obligations to settle on the Property.
6. Closing. The purchase and sale contemplated herein shall be consummated at a settlement (“Closing”) which shall take place on the date (the “Closing Date”) to be designated by Purchaser by written notice to Seller no less than five (5) business days prior thereto, with the agreements, however, that (i) the Closing Date shall occur no later than the later of the fifteenth (15th) day following expiration of the Inspection Period, subject to any extension by Seller as permitted under Section 5.3 above, and (ii) if the Purchaser has not yet closed on the Aquia One Contract but the Aquia One Contract remains in effect and the Purchaser continues to be entitled or obligated to close thereunder, the Closing Date under this Agreement shall be extended to the last allowable date for closing on the Aquia One Contract. If the Closing Date is not a Business Day, the Closing shall occur on the next day which is a Business Day thereafter. The Closing shall be performed in escrow through the Escrow Agent. The Closing shall take place during normal business hours on the Closing Date at the offices of the Escrow Agent or at such other location as the parties may mutually agree.

It is expressly understood and agreed by Purchaser that the tenant under the Government Lease may not provide any written recognition of the Purchaser as the new owner of the Property prior to Closing, and such written recognition shall not be a condition to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder nor shall the absence of such written recognition be grounds for termination of this Agreement by the Purchaser.
8. Purchaser’s Closing Obligations. Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price, together with all other funds required hereunder to be paid by the Purchaser in connection with the Closing, by federal wire transfer to the Escrow Agent on the Closing Date. Purchaser shall also execute the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Novation Agreement and such other documents or instruments as the Escrow Agent or title company may reasonably require in connection with the Closing.
9. Settlement Charges; Prorations and Adjustments.
9.1 Allocation of Settlement Charges. Seller shall pay the Grantor’s Tax and the cost of preparation and recordation of the Deed. Purchaser shall pay the recordation taxes on the sale, title examination fees, the title insurance premium and any survey update costs. Other settlement expenses (except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 9.1) shall be paid in accordance with the customs of real estate transactions in Xxxxxxxx County, Virginia. Seller shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the cost to release any existing liens on the Property other than the Permitted Exceptions. Purchaser will pay one-half of the escrow fees of the Escrow Agent and Seller shall be responsible for the balance of the escrow fees. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the costs incurred in connection with obtaining, executing, recording and insuring any financing obtained by Purchaser. Purchaser and Seller each shall pay its own legal fees related to the preparation of this Agreement and all documents required to settle the transaction contemplated hereby.
9.2 Prorations and Adjustments. At Closing, rents (to the extent prepaid), all real and personal property taxes, water rents, sewer charges, electric and other utility charges, fuel if any, operating expenses, wages, any special assessments, if any, and other similar charges affecting the Property and all utility charges, if any, shall be adjusted and prorated as of midnight of
11
the day prior to the Closing Date. To the extent practicable Seller shall attempt to have utility providers read the meters for the Property on the day prior to Closing for purposes of making such prorations and adjustments. All other charges or fees customarily prorated and adjusted in similar transactions shall be adjusted at Closing. All rent (other than prepaid rent) payable by the tenant of the Property (which is acknowledged by the parties to be paid in arrears under the Government Lease) shall be adjusted (prorated) as of the Closing Date and paid in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) | Following receipt of the monthly installment of Basic Rent under the Government Lease attributable to the month in which the Closing occurs, such installment shall be adjusted as of the Closing, with Seller being entitled to the portion thereof attributable to the period of the month immediately preceding the Closing Date and Purchaser entitled to the balance of such monthly installment. The party receiving such installment shall pay over to the other party within five (5) business days following receipt the portion of the installment to which the other party is entitled. | |||
(ii) | Purchaser shall be entitled to all Basic Rent and other sums due under the Government Lease to the extent collected on any date after the Closing with the exception of (a) common area maintenance (CAM) and real estate tax reimbursements attributable to periods prior to the Closing; (b) the Basic Rental for the Closing month to which Seller is entitled under (i) above, and (c) to the extent specified in Subsection (iii) below, rentals paid by the Government on account of rental arrearages for periods preceding the Closing. Annual CAM and tax reimbursements, which are payable by the tenant on an annual basis after the conclusion of each calendar year, will be adjusted as of closing, with Seller being entitled to the portion thereof attributable to the period of the year immediately preceding the Closing Date and Purchaser being entitled to the balance of such payment. Purchaser shall pay over to Seller within five (5) business days following receipt the portion of the installment to which the Seller is entitled. Additionally, any post-Closing tenant payments of amounts for special services which were specifically billed by Seller prior to the Closing Date shall be remitted by Purchaser to Seller within five (5) business days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof. | |||
(iii) | Rent which is due, but uncollected, as of the Closing shall not be adjusted, but Purchaser shall cause the rent for the period prior to Closing to be remitted to Seller if, as and when collected, less any reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser for such collection; provided, that, except with respect to Basic Rental for the Closing month, which shall be treated as specified in (i) above, all rents collected subsequent to Closing by Purchaser shall first be applied to current rentals then due which have accrued subsequent to Closing and any remaining amounts shall be applied to rental arrearages as of Closing. Similarly, if Seller receives any Basic Rent or other sums under the Government Lease which is payable to Purchaser under this Section 9.2, then Seller shall promptly deliver such sums to Purchaser. Purchaser, at Seller’s request, will use reasonable efforts for a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing Date to collect past |
12
due rental amounts or other payments owed to Seller in accordance with this Section 9.2. |
All adjustment items to the extent they cannot be precisely determined at Closing (or to the extent found to be erroneous after the Closing), shall be estimated at Closing and shall be resolved by the parties in good faith no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing.
9.3 Release of Closing Escrow. Upon receipt of Purchaser’s deliveries required under Section 8 above, and subject to all of Seller’s deliveries having been received and such other conditions to Purchaser’s performance as are contained in Section 5 hereof, Escrow Agent shall record the Deed, disburse the settlement proceeds as indicated on the settlement sheets, and distribute all Closing documents as directed by counsel for Purchaser and Seller.
10. Condemnation and Risk of Loss. The risk of condemnation of all or any portion of the Property or loss or damage to the Property by fire or other casualty shall be borne by Seller until recordation of the Deed. In the event of (a) the threatened or actual commencement of eminent domain proceedings or actual condemnation or taking of all or any material part of the Property, or (b) damage to the Property by fire or other casualty, act of God or any other event on or prior to the Closing Date, which would cost in excess of $250,000 to repair, Purchaser, at its sole option exercisable within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice of the event giving rise to the exercise of such option, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities to the other, subject to the obligations of the Purchaser under Section 4.1 herein. Purchaser understands and agrees that if it does not exercise its termination option in the event of condemnation or casualty as described above, the terms and conditions of the documents governing the Existing Indebtedness will control the use of any insurance proceeds and the settlement of any insurance claims related thereto, and that Purchaser will have no rights with respect to such proceeds or claims. The provisions of the Paragraph 10 shall expressly survive Closing and delivery of the Deed for the Property.
11. Default Provisions; Remedies.
11.1 Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase and sale contemplated herein after all conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transactions herein contemplated have been satisfied or waived by Purchaser, or if, pursuant to Section 5.2 above, Purchaser has defaulted under the Aquia One Contract, and if Seller has notified Purchaser of such default and Purchaser has failed to cure such default within ten (10) days after Seller’s notice, then Escrow Agent shall deliver to Seller the Deposit. In such event the Deposit shall be deemed as full and complete liquidated damages and the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller, the parties hereby agreeing that they have considered carefully the loss to Seller that would be a consequence of such default and that the Deposit is a reasonable estimate of such loss. Upon payment to Seller of the Deposit, this Agreement shall terminate, and neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities to any other party, other than any obligations or liabilities which expressly survive any termination of this Agreement.
11.2 Seller’s Default. If Seller breaches its representations, warranties, covenants and agreements hereunder or fails to consummate the purchase and sale contemplated herein by the Closing Date, and Purchaser has notified Seller of such default and Seller has failed to cure such default within ten (10) days of Purchaser’s notice, or if, pursuant to Section 5.2 above, Seller has defaulted under the Aquia One Contract, Purchaser shall be entitled at its option to notify
13
Seller of the election by Purchaser to terminate this Agreement, whereupon Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser and neither party will have any further obligation to the other hereunder, other than the obligations of the Purchaser under Section 4.1. Alternatively, in the event Seller shall willfully fail to close as required hereunder, Purchaser at its election shall be entitled to bring suit for specific performance, inasmuch as the parties recognize and acknowledge that the Property is unique, and that there is no adequate remedy at law to compensate fully Purchaser for a breach by Seller of Seller’s obligations to convey the Property to Purchaser in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In no event shall Purchaser be entitled to monetary damages for a default by Seller to close hereunder, with the exception that in the case of a willful failure of Seller to close hereunder after the foregoing ten (10) day notice and cure period, and provided that in the absence of such default Purchaser would have been ready, willing and able to close, Purchaser shall be entitled to recover its reasonable, out-of-pocket due diligence costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement (including reasonable attorney’s fees).
For purposes of this Agreement, a willful failure or default of Seller is one which is both intentional and voluntary (i.e., within the Seller’s reasonable control to prevent).
12. Obligations of Seller Pending Closing. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date:
12.1 Occupancy at Closing. The parties understand that the Property will be delivered subject only to the rights of the tenant under the Government Lease.
12.2 Leasing. Seller agrees that it will not enter into any new leases for premises in the Property, extend or modify the existing Government Lease or enter into any other new agreements affecting the Property without the Purchaser’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may freely enter into any ordinary and necessary service agreement affecting the Property without Purchaser’s consent if the agreement shall by its terms terminate or be terminable at will by the Seller prior to Closing, provided that Seller shall give written notice of any such agreement to the Purchaser promptly after execution thereof.
12.3 Maintenance and Operation of Property. Seller shall continue to maintain the Property consistent with its prior practices, in order that its present operating condition be maintained in good and proper repair, order and condition, normal wear and tear excepted, and shall cause the continuation of the normal operation thereof, including the purchase and replacement of supplies and equipment. Seller shall not remove or permit to be removed from the Property any Personalty, except as may be necessary for repairs or discarding worn out or useless items, provided that discarded items shall be replaced with new items of substantially equal quality and quantity and shall be free and clear of any lien or encumbrance.
12.4 No Action. Seller shall not knowingly take any action or direct, require or advise any other person or entity to take any action that would invalidate, void or make untrue any representation or warranty provided under this Agreement or otherwise breach this Agreement.
12.5 Additional Deliveries. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser promptly following its receipt copies of any notices received by Seller or its management agent from the holder of any liens existing against the Property or the Government pertaining to the Property from and after the date hereof through Closing.
14

13.3 Severability. If fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement, or performance of any transaction related hereto, at the time such fulfillment or performance shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled or performed shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or provision contained in this Agreement operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement in whole or in part, then such clause or provision only shall be held ineffective, as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect.

In the event of an assignment by Purchaser to a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser, Purchaser shall remain liable for the performance of the obligations of Purchaser hereunder, unless and until expressly released by Seller. Seller shall not assign this Agreement.
13.8 Waiver; Modification. Failure by Purchaser or Seller to insist upon or enforce any of its rights hereto shall not constitute a waiver thereof.
