3.1. Deposit. Unless Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.1 below, not more than two (2) Business Days after the expiration of the Inspection Period Purchaser will deposit the sum of $1,000,0000 in escrow with Title Company (together with interest on such amount, the “Deposit”). Title Company shall hold the Deposit in an interest bearing account reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. All interest earned on the Deposit shall become a part of the Deposit and shall be deemed income of Purchaser, and Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all costs and fees imposed on the Deposit account. If this Agreement is not terminated in the manner provided, and within the time periods set forth in Section 4.1, the Deposit shall become nonrefundable to Purchaser, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. The Deposit shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The failure of Purchaser to timely deliver any portion of the Deposit hereunder shall be a material default, and shall entitle Seller, at Seller’s sole option, to terminate this Agreement.
3.2. Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property (the “Purchase Price”) is Twelve Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($12,750,000). The Purchase Price, less the amount of the Deposit and plus or minus prorations and other adjustments to be made in accordance with this Agreement, shall be paid in cash at Closing.

In order to so terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1, Purchaser must provide Seller and Title Company with written notice of its election to so terminate this Agreement on or before 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the last day of the Inspection Period. If Purchaser fails to so terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1, Purchaser shall make the Deposit to the Title Company as described in Section 3.1 above, and the Deposit shall be nonrefundable except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. If Purchaser timely elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1, Purchaser shall promptly destroy or return Purchaser’s Information to Seller in accordance with Section 4.3(b) below, and this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

4.2. Entry and Inspection.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.2, Seller will permit Purchaser and its employees and authorized agents, representatives, contractors and consultants (the “Licensee Parties”) to enter upon the Real Property and the Improvements at all reasonable times during normal business hours, to perform any inspections, investigations, studies, tests, evaluations and assessments of the Property (including interviews with Tenants, vendors and service providers under the Service Contracts, physical, structural, mechanical, architectural, engineering, soils, geotechnical, and environmental/asbestos tests (generally, “Inspections”) that Purchaser deems necessary, appropriate or prudent in connection with Purchaser’s determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property. Purchaser shall notify Seller of the intention of Purchaser or any Licensee Party to enter the Real Property at least one (1) Business Day prior to such intended entry and specify the intended purpose therefor and the Inspections contemplated to be made and/or the Tenants, vendors and service providers under the Service Contracts, or Authorities with whom Purchaser or any Licensee Party contemplates communicating. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Purchaser shall be permitted to contact venders and service providers under the Service Contracts and Authorities to confirm the status of title matters, zoning, environmental conditions and compliance with laws and regulations applicable to the Property (such communications referred to herein as “Approved Due Diligence Communications”) without providing prior notice to Seller of such communications. At Seller’s option, Seller or its employees or authorized agents, representatives, contractors or consultants may be present for any such entry, Inspections and communications with any Tenants. With respect to any Inspection that will require excavations, borings, drilling, removal or demolition of any portion of the Property, or any other invasive activities on the Property (generally, “Invasive Testing”), Purchaser shall submit to Seller a written plan describing such Invasive Testing in reasonable detail (an “Invasive Testing Plan”) for Seller’s written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Purchaser may not proceed with any Invasive Testing unless Seller has expressly approved in writing the Invasive Testing Plan, and Purchaser shall conduct all Invasive Testing in compliance with the Invasive Testing Plan approved by Seller. If Seller fails to provide Purchaser with written notice of Seller’s disapproval of an Invasive Testing Plan (which written notice shall state in reasonable detail the basis for such disapproval) within three (3) Business Days after delivery of the Invasive Testing Plan to Seller, Seller shall be deemed to have approved the Invasive Testing Plan. Seller shall have the right to have a representative of Seller observe any testing activities and to request and receive split samples of any materials collected for analysis by Purchaser or any Licensee Party. Purchaser shall restore the Property to substantially its condition immediately prior to any Invasive Testing promptly after the Invasive Testing is completed, but not later than five (5) days after any disturbance or damage occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, Seller hereby agrees that Purchaser shall be permitted to extract roof core samples and to perform invasive asbestos testing at the Property (the “Preapproved Invasive Testing”) so long as (i) a representative of Seller is present during any such Preapproved Invasive Testing and approves the specific means and locations for the testing and (ii) Purchaser restores and repairs any area of such testing to substantially the same condition as it was prior to the testing.
(b) In entering upon the Property, conducting Inspections, and communicating with Tenants, Purchaser and the other Licensee Parties will not: (i) unreasonably disturb the Tenants or unreasonably interfere with their use of the Property; (ii) unreasonably interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Real Property or Improvements; (iii) damage any part of the Property or any personal property owned or held by any Tenant or any other person or entity; (iv) injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller or any Tenant, or any other person or entity; (v) permit any liens to attach to the Real Property by reason of the exercise of Purchaser’s rights under this Section 4; (vi) except for Approved Due Diligence Communications, communicate with any Tenants, Authorities, or vendors or service providers under the Service Contracts without prior written notice to Seller as provided in this Section 4; or (vii) reveal or disclose any Confidential Information concerning the Property and the Documents except in accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in Section 4.3(a) above and Section 12 below. Purchaser will maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence covering any accident arising in connection with the presence of Purchaser or the other Licensee Parties on the Real Property or the Improvements, and deliver a certificate of insurance verifying such coverage to Seller prior to entry upon the Real Property or Improvements.
(c) Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller and its officers, directors, agents, employees, lenders, successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all liens, claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities, demands, suits, obligations to third parties, together with all losses, penalties, fines, costs and expenses relating to any of the foregoing (including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) (generally, “Claims”) arising out of any inspections, investigations, examinations, sampling or tests conducted by Purchaser or any Licensee Party, whether prior to or after the Effective Date, or as a result of any violation of the provisions of this Section 4.2; provided, however, that Purchaser’s indemnity hereunder shall not include any Claims resulting from the discovery of pre-existing
2
conditions at the Property except to the extent such condition is aggravated by an act of Purchaser or any Licensee Party as a result of the Inspections and shall not include any Claims resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or Seller’s agents or employees. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 4.2 shall survive the termination of this of this Agreement.
4.3. Documents.
(a) Purchaser and the Licensee Parties shall have the right to review, inspect, examine, analyze, verify and photocopy, at either the office of Seller, Seller’s property manager or at the Real Property, as specified by Seller, all agreements, contracts, documents, information, reports (including financial reports and rent rolls), books, records and other materials pertinent to the use, ownership, occupancy, or operation of the Property that are in Seller’s Control (collectively, the “Documents”). Purchaser acknowledges that information contained in the Documents may be proprietary and confidential in nature (“Confidential Information”) and the Documents have been provided to Purchaser solely to assist Purchaser in determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property. Purchaser further acknowledges that some of the Documents may have been prepared by third parties and may have been prepared prior to Seller’s ownership of the Property, and other than the representations and warranties expressly made by Seller in this Agreement or any document delivered by Seller at Closing, Seller has not made and does not make any other representation or warranty regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Documents. Subject to the disclosures permitted pursuant to this Section 4.3(a) and Section 12 below, Purchaser shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any party outside of Purchaser’s organization other than its attorneys, accountants, lenders, investors, or any Licensee Parties who need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of giving advice to Purchaser with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Permitted Outside Parties”). Purchaser further agrees that within its organization, and as to the Permitted Outside Parties, the Confidential Information will be disclosed only to those persons within Purchaser’s organization or to those Permitted Outside Parties who are responsible for determining the feasibility of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property or who Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, have a need to know such information in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, all of whom shall be subject to the terms of this Section 4.3(a). Purchaser understands any information provided to Purchaser relating to the leasing arrangements between Seller and the Tenants or prospective tenants is proprietary and confidential in nature and shall be deemed part of the Confidential Information. Purchaser agrees not to knowingly or negligently divulge any Confidential Information except in accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in this Section 4.3 and Section 12 below. In permitting Purchaser and the Permitted Outside Parties to review the Confidential Information, Seller has not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect to the Confidential Information, and no third party benefits or relationships of any kind, either express or implied, have been offered, intended or created by Seller. Confidential Information shall not include (i) information obtained by Purchaser from a third person who is not prohibited from transmitting the information to Purchaser, (ii) information available to the general public, (iii) information independently developed by Purchaser without reliance on any Confidential information, or (iv) information disclosed in connection with any litigation that may arise between the parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Section 4.3(a) shall survive any termination of this Agreement but shall not survive the Closing.
(b) If the subject transaction fails to close, not later than ten (10) Business Days following the time this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Purchaser will return to Seller or destroy all copies Purchaser has made of the Documents and all copies of any studies, reports or test results regarding any part of the Property obtained from Seller or its Affiliates by Purchaser, before or after the execution of this Agreement, excluding (i) any proprietary documents or information (such as internally prepared valuations, projections or budgets or other analyses of the Property) and (ii) any attorney-client communications, attorney work product, or other information which Purchaser is contractually or otherwise legally bound to a third party to keep confidential (collectively, “Purchaser’s Information”). This Section 4.3(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
4.4. Estoppel Certificates. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser executed estoppel certificates from Walgreen Co. (“Walgreen”) and GSRE, LLC, doing business as Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Real Estate (“Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx”). The estoppel certificate from Walgreen shall be in the form attached to the lease with Walgreen, and the estoppel certificate from Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx shall be in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit D or in another form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser; provided, however, if it is the policy of Walgreen or Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx that a particular form of estoppel certificate be used, that form shall be deemed to be acceptable to Purchaser. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain estoppel certificates from all of the other tenants of the Property in the form of Exhibit D attached, or in another form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. With respect to any Tenant (other than Walgreen and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx) for which Seller is unable to obtain an estoppel certificate, at Closing Seller will provide Purchaser with an estoppel certificate from Seller in the form of Exhibit E attached (each a “Seller Estoppel”). Subject to the limitations in Section 16 below, Seller’s representations and warranties in any Seller Estoppel shall survive the Closing, except any Seller Estoppel delivered by Seller pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall terminate if Seller obtains an estoppel certificate from the applicable Tenant prior to the Closing Date.

Any encumbrances, outstanding interests or title exceptions which are either set forth in the Commitment or which are shown on the Survey to which Purchaser does not so object by the Title Objection Date shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be “Permitted Exceptions”.

Closing Date shall be extended if necessary to afford Purchaser the benefit of such five (5) Business Day Period) of such casualty either: (a) to proceed with this transaction and Closing in accordance with this Agreement notwithstanding such damage or destruction, in which event Seller will have no obligation to repair such damage or destruction, and the Closing shall occur as otherwise provided in this Agreement; in such case, Seller shall assign to Purchaser upon the Closing all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller in connection with such occurrences, other than proceeds expended prior to Closing in restoration and repair undertaken by Seller in its reasonable discretion and any proceeds of business interruption or rent continuation insurance applicable to the period prior to Closing, and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of any deductible under Seller’s insurance applicable to such occurrences to the extent Purchaser is not entitled to reimbursement of the same pursuant to the Leases; or (b) to terminate this Agreement. Purchaser’s failure to deliver either of such notices to Seller and Title Company within such five (5) Business Days following Seller’s written notice to Purchaser of such casualty shall constitute Purchaser’s election to terminate this Agreement under clause (b) of the preceding sentence. If this Agreement is terminated under clause (b) above, the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon will be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder except for obligations under this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.
9.2. Casualty of Less Than a Significant Portion. If less than a Significant Portion of the Property is damaged as aforesaid, then Seller shall have no obligation to repair such damage or destruction, and the Closing nevertheless shall occur as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, except that Seller shall, at Seller’s’ option, either (a) perform any necessary repairs, or (b) assign to Purchaser upon the Closing all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller in connection with such occurrences, exclusive of any proceeds of business interruption or rent continuation insurance applicable to the period prior to Closing, in which event Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of any deductible under Seller’s insurance applicable to such occurrences to the extent Purchaser is not entitled to reimbursement of the same pursuant to the Leases, or (c) credit Purchaser at Closing for the estimated cost (as reasonably agreed by Seller and Purchaser, both acting in good faith) of any uninsured casualty damage.
9.3. Condemnation of Property. If all or any Significant Portion of the Property shall be taken in condemnation or under the right of eminent domain, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser thereof. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the foregoing notice, Purchaser shall notify Seller, electing either: (a) to proceed with this transaction and Closing in accordance with this Agreement notwithstanding such condemnation; or (b) to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser elects to proceed with this transaction pursuant to clause (a) above, or if there is a taking in condemnation or eminent domain that does not affect a Significant Portion of the Property, there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price and Seller shall (x) deliver to Purchaser at the Closing, or as soon thereafter as available, any proceeds actually received by Seller attributable to the Property from such condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, and (y) transfer and assign to Purchaser any and all rights Seller may have with respect to payments by or from and with respect to recovery against any party for damages or compensation relating to the Property on account of such condemnation or eminent domain proceeding. A failure by Purchaser to notify Seller in writing within five (5) Business Days after receiving written notice of such taking shall be deemed an election to proceed under clause (b) in this subsection. If Purchaser elects to proceed under clause (a) in this subsection, Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such award without Purchaser’s prior written consent. In the event Purchaser notifies Seller (or is deemed to have notified Seller) of its election to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (b) above, the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon will be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder except for obligations under this Agreement which expressly survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement.

Any taxes that are payable in the year in which the Closing occurs (“Current Tax Year”) shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller based upon the number of days in the Current Tax Year prior to the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to Seller) and the number of days in the Current Tax Year on and after the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to Purchaser). Fees and charges under the Service Contracts (other than the Terminated Contracts) in respect of the most recent billing period which includes the Closing Date (“Current Billing Period”) shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the Current Billing Period prior to the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to Seller) and the number of days in the Current Billing Period on and after the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to Purchaser) and assuming that all fees and charges are incurred uniformly during the Current Billing Period. Calculations hereunder shall be based upon the most recent statement rendered to Seller by the applicable service provider and, after an actual statement covering the Current Billing Period is received, a copy shall be delivered to Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, and the apportionment of such charges hereunder shall be recomputed if necessary.
(d) Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that if any of the aforesaid prorations and credits cannot reasonably be calculated accurately on the Closing Date or in the case of rents or other charges received from Tenants, such amount have not been collected, then the same shall be calculated as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date or the date such amounts have been collected, and either party owing the other party a sum of money based on such subsequent proration(s) or credits shall pay said sum to the other party within sixty (60) days thereafter. Upon request of either party, the parties shall provide a detailed and accurate written statement signed by such party certifying as to the payments received or expenses incurred by such party from Tenants from and after Closing and to the manner in which such payments were applied, and shall make their books and records available for inspection by the other party during ordinary business hours upon reasonable advance notice.
(e) Not more than sixty (60) days after the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall make a final calculation of the real estate taxes, operating expenses and all other prorations or adjustments for the Property, including any adjustments for rent or escalation payments payable under the Leases in connection therewith. If such calculation discloses that Seller has collected more in estimated payments from Tenants for rents, operating expenses and taxes than it is entitled to retain after the final reconciliations are completed, Seller shall pay such excess to Purchaser for refund to the tenants, and if Seller has collected less in estimated payments than it is entitled to receive after the final reconciliations are completed, Purchaser shall pay such amounts to Seller when and as collected from the tenants. No insurance policies of the Seller are to be assigned or otherwise transferred to the Purchaser, and no apportionment of the premiums therefor shall be made. The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall survive Closing.
10.6. Delivery of Real Property. Upon completion of the Closing, Seller will deliver to Purchaser possession of the Real Property and Improvements, subject to the Leases and the Permitted Exceptions.
10.7. Closing Costs 10.7. Closing Costs.

Purchaser shall pay (i) the additional premium for an ALTA extended coverage policy of title insurance in the amount of the Purchase Price, and any other costs for the Title Policy, including, but not limited to, any endorsements requested by Purchaser or any lender to Purchaser, and (ii) the recording fees required in connection with the transfer of the Property.

10.9. Audit Letter. Pursuant to Paragraph 15 below, a Permitted Assignee of Purchaser may include a publicly registered real estate investment trust, and therefore Seller further agrees to make its books and records relating to the Property available for inspection and audit by Purchaser or its agents and to execute and deliver (at the time of completion of the audit) the audit letter in favor of Purchaser’s auditors in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L and made a part hereof (the covenants of Seller described by this sentence shall survive the Closing). Purchaser may also review and make copies of any of Seller’s files, books and records relating to the Property. Purchaser shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs associated with this audit. Seller shall reasonably cooperate (at no out of pocket cost to Seller) with Purchaser’s auditor in the conduct of
11
such audit. In addition, Seller agrees to provide to Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser, if requested by such auditor, historical financial statements for the Property (from June 30, 2011, the date Seller acquired the Property) (with the names of parties having an equity interest in Seller redacted), including (without limitation) income and balance sheet data for the Property, whether required before or after Closing, to the extent in Seller’s possession or control. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Purchaser or its designated independent or other auditor may audit Seller’s operating statements of the Property, at Purchaser’s expense, and Seller shall provide such documentation as Purchaser or its auditor may reasonably request in order to complete such audit, and (ii) Seller shall furnish to Purchaser such financial and other information as may be reasonably required by Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser to make any required filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or other governmental authority. Seller shall maintain its records for use under this Paragraph 10.9 for a period of not less than six (6) months after the Closing. This Paragraph shall expressly survive Closing.
11. Brokers. At Closing, Seller shall pay the real estate commissions due to Xxxx Xxxxxx of Colliers International (“Broker”), pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Broker. Other than Broker, Purchaser has not dealt with any other real estate brokers or salespersons in connection with the transaction that is the subject of this Agreement. Other than fees and commissions due to Broker, Seller and Purchaser will each indemnify and hold the other harmless from any brokerage or finder’s fee or commission claimed by any person or entity claiming to have dealt with Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, on account of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 11 will survive any Closing or termination of this Agreement.
12. Confidentiality. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the terms, conditions, and negotiations concerning the same will be held in confidence by Seller and Purchaser and will not be disclosed by either of them except to their respective legal counsel, accountants, consultants, officers, partners, directors, investors, members and shareholders, and except and only to the extent that (a) such disclosure may be necessary for their respective performances hereunder, (b) as otherwise required by applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental authority, agency or regulatory body or (c) as otherwise permitted hereunder. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that, unless and until the Closing occurs, all Confidential Information obtained by Purchaser in connection with the Property will not be disclosed by Purchaser to any third persons, without the prior written consent of Seller, other than Purchaser’s affiliates, principals, employees, prospective lenders, insurance firms, legal counsel, accountants, consultants, officers, partners, directors, investors, members and shareholders (“Purchaser’s Representatives”), or as otherwise required by applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental authority, agency or regulatory body. Nothing contained in this Section 12 will preclude or limit either party to this Agreement from disclosing or accessing any information otherwise deemed confidential under this Section 12 in connection with that party’s enforcement of its rights following a disagreement hereunder, or in response to lawful process or subpoena or other valid or enforceable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or any filings with any Authorities required by reason of the transactions provided for in this Agreement pursuant to an opinion of counsel. In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives shall be entitled to disclose any of the foregoing information (i) to the extent required by the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or any stock exchange applicable to Purchaser and its affiliates, (ii) to the extent Purchaser’s counsel, attorneys or advisors determines appropriate, in any prospectus, report or other filing made by Purchaser or its affiliates with the SEC or any stock exchange to which Purchaser or any affiliate is subject, or (iii) in any press release in connection with a disclosure under items (i) or (ii) above. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, Seller will not issue any press release or other public announcement which identifies Purchaser as a party to this transaction. The foregoing confidentiality obligations shall not apply to the extent that any such information is a matter of public record, lawfully received from a third party not known to Buyer to be under an obligation of confidentiality to Seller or is provided in other sources readily available to the real estate industry other than as a result of disclosure by Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, in violation of this Section 12.

15. Assignment and Binding Effect. Purchaser may not assign this Agreement without Seller’s prior written consent, except, without Seller’s consent, Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate of Purchaser or to an entity which is advised by Purchaser or for which Purchaser acts as an investment Manager (collectively, a “Permitted Assignee”), but no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement until the Closing occurs, and thereafter such Permitted Assignee shall be solely liable for any obligations which survive Closing. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 15 without the prior written consent of Seller shall be void, and the purported assignee shall not have any rights hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Seller and Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other party will be conferred any rights by virtue of this Agreement or be entitled to enforce any of the provisions hereof. Whenever a reference is made in this Agreement to Seller or Purchaser, such reference will include the successors and permitted assigns of such party under this Agreement.
16. Maximum Aggregate Liability; Claims Period. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any documents executed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, following consummation of the Closing, the maximum aggregate liability of Seller under this Agreement and any and all documents executed pursuant to this Agreement or in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the breach of any representations and warranties of Seller contained in such documents) for which a claim is timely made by Purchaser shall not exceed $500,000, plus any amounts payable to Purchaser pursuant to Section 11, Section 10.5 or Section 17.2 (the “Cap”). Purchaser will not have any right to bring any action against Seller as a result of any untruth or inaccuracy of such representations and warranties, or any such breach, unless and until the aggregate amount of all liability and losses arising out of any such untruth or inaccuracy, or any such breach, exceeds $25,000, in which event the full amount of such claims shall be actionable, up to the Cap. Any action, suit or proceeding brought by Purchaser against Seller arising from or related to this Agreement must be commenced and served, if at all, not more than six (6) months after the date of the Closing. The limitations in this Section 16 shall apply to all of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, any Seller Estoppel executed by Seller pursuant to Section 4.4 of this Agreement, and any of the other documents executed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxxxx (collectively “Guarantor”), hereby personally guaranty, jointly and severally, the liabilities and obligations of Seller under this Agreement subject to the limitations in this Section 16. Guarantor agrees that this guaranty shall be for the benefit of Purchaser and any Permitted Assignee. If Seller fails to make any payment due from Seller pursuant to this Section 16, and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after written demand on Seller, Purchaser or the Permitted Assignee, as applicable, may enforce such claim against Guarantor. This Section 16 shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
17. Miscellaneous.
17.1. Waivers. No waiver of any breach of any covenant or provisions contained in this Agreement will be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, or of any other covenant or provision contained in this Agreement. No extension of time for performance of any obligation or act will be deemed an extension of the time for performance of any other obligation or act.
17.2. Attorneys’ Fees.

14
17.3. Time of Essence. Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition, obligation and provision hereof; provided, however, that if the date of performance or a deadline falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the date for performance or such deadline shall be deemed extended to the next Business Day.
17.4. Counterparts; Facsimile and Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of will constitute a complete and fully executed original. All such fully executed original counterparts will collectively constitute a single agreement. Each party (i) has agreed to permit the use, from time to time and where appropriate, of telecopied signatures and signatures sent via electronic mail in PDF format, in order to expedite the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) intends to be bound by its telecopied signature and its signature sent via electronic mail, (iii) is aware that the other party will rely on its telecopied signature and on its signature sent via electronic mail, and (iv) acknowledges such reliance and waives any defenses to the enforcement of the documents effecting the transaction contemplated by this Agreement based on the fact that a signature was sent by telecopy or via electronic mail.
17.5. Severability.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties to this Agreement will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to reflect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
